We have had the pleasure, within the last few days, of seeing in our office, our old friend, James G. Rodgers, of the firm of J. G. Rodgers & Co., of Kingston, Georgia. Mr. Rodgers is a native of Rockingham county, and removed to Georgia in 1866. He is looking remarkably well, showing that the "sunny South" agrees with him. He has been, we are pleased to know, very successful in his business enterprises, having had all his business talents actively engaged ever since he went to Georgia. He and his partners are engaged in merchandizing, milling, &c. Mr. Rodgers says Georgia is the country for active, intelligent young men who want to do something for themselves and who cannot find an opening in their own States.
At and near Kingston, the theatre of Mr. Rodgers' movements, a number of former citizens of Rockingham county have settled and gone to work. Amongst others are Jonathan Speck, the Harris boys, and Peter Hollen, all of whom are doing well. Kingston is in Bartow county, and is a thriving little place of 300 or 400 inhabitants. It is immediately on the line of the Western & Atlanta R. R., at the junction of the Rome & Atlata R. R., 18 miles from Rome and 60 miles from Atlanta. It is in the midst of a rich and beautiful country, and so perfectly healthy that a physician can hardly live there by the practice of his profession.

We were glad to see in Harrisonburg, during the last few days, our friend James G. Rogers, of Kingston, Georgia. He is looking remarkably well since he recovered from the severe accident by which his right leg was broken and his ancle mashed last summer or autumn. He has sustained heavy losses since his residence in Georgia, but his resources of energy and industry are proving equal to the exigencies of his condition. He hopes soon to have his mill, consumed by fire with its contents of flour and grain, running to the full extent of its capacity.
