Bear Creek.
DEA'iII or 1WO GOOD CITIZENS—TCTT’* LIVER
FILLS.
Hampton, August 2Gtb, 1873.
To the Editors of the Herald:
I just thought you would like to bear a few
things from old Henry. We nre dry here.
Cotton about half os good as last year this
time. Corn on uplands good. Fodder being
saved nice time for it. Some sickness and
deAth. Old uncle John Adams, one of the
oldest and best citizens of our county, died
on the 21st. H. M. Starr, another one
of our best farmers and citizeus, died a
few days before, and Dr. T. T. Key, late
of Atlanta, now a citizen oi Hampton,
lost a little son ten years old Saturday night.
He died of congestive fever—others sick. We
waat a Grange in our town. Dr. Tutt's pills
has performed a wonderful work in our
county. We had a negro in jail for stealing
some watches, and he complained of being
sick, and the jailer give himfi dose of TnU's
pills at breakfast, and they worked him out
of jail by eleven o’clock. He has not been
heard of since. Charles W. Dupree, the man
that Massy cut so bad a short time back, is
recovering. Considerable thieving is going
oh in our little town—safe robbery, etc. We
have had some gracious revivals in our com*
munity. More soon.
Respectfully,
G.
Henry Olay.
BIS TOMB—JOHN MOEGis's.
From the Springfield P.triot.
While recently in Lexington, Kentucky,
we paid a visit to the tomb of Henry Clay.
No one visits that city without gazing on the
Ireautifnl monument which marks the resting
place of this oue of tbe greatest statesmen of
his day. The tomb is situated near tbe cen
tre of the city cemetery, and on the highest
part of the ground. It is surrounded by all
that wealth and taste can suggest in tbe way
of ornament and elegance. One is forcibly
struck with the grandeur of the Clay monu
ment long before he reaches it, and as he
draws near his convictions grow stronger that
he ts nearing the immortal, rather than the
mortal.
The grounds are entered on the south, and
long winding drives conduct one through a
paradise of msrble and beautiful flowers and
shrubbery, together with a natural growth of
oaks and walnut for which Kentucky is neted.
Reaching the mount on which the Clay mon
ument stands ws ascend its grassy side, on-
marked by path or read. Tbe base of the
monument seems more like a boose than a
vault. It is forty leet square, made of some
Sonthern marble, nicely polished or dressed
to a smooth surface. On two sides
u< large grated doors, through which
may be seen the sarcophagus which
contains Ike immortal dust of one of the
brightest American intellects. One is most
forcibly impressed with tbe occasion in be-
boldirg at any time "the last home of man,”
bat never were we more deeply moved to the
sad realities of life, or the certainty of death,
then when gazing on this, tbe end of Henry
Clay. The sareopbagns is pnre while mar
ble, with a vine running around its base,
dotted with atari and a mantle thrown par
tially across one end. On the top is the aim-
pie inscription, “Hisit Out," and on tbe
side is the following:
“I can with nnsbaken confidence appeal to
the Divine arbiter for the troth of tbe declar
ation that I have been inflnenced by no im
pure purpose, no personal motive; have
sought no personal aggrandizement; but that
in all my public eels I had a sole and single
eye and a warm devoted to be tbe Mtoe inter
ests of my conn try."
To tbe right and at tbe foot of this coffin
rests that of the wife of Henry Clay, but no
inscription can be seen on it from without
On the top of this base rests a pedestal of
grand and imposing proportions, sannonnted
by a colossal figure of tbe great statesman
This figure is twelve feet tall, and is said to
bs a very correct hkencas of Clay wbed
living. Tbe entire height of the monument
is thirty-five feet, and overlooks the city
of Lexington as well as a large section of sur-
rouodmg country. Henry Clay died in 1852,
and the monument which now marks hit last
home was five years building and cost tbe
state a large sum of money. But tbe South
ern people praise tbeir heroes while living and
do them in marble when dead without count
ing the cost As a people they have a great
veneration for the memories of their distin
guished men.
TBE GRAVE OF JOHN IteBOAX
is not far frost Clay's, bat one might rnn
over it a dozen times without Doticing it.
Nothing bnt a rude atone about a foot high
marks the place where sleeps the great cos-
federate general, but it won’t always be so.
The people will some day show their love for
his service—for tbe people still speak of Hor-
r i as a true man to the South, and of course
will be remembered as others.

REPORTS FROM HOUSTON AND MACON.
Dr. G. L. D. Rice, au extensive planter of Houston
county, who ia stopping st the Brown Houte, says the
caterpillars have appeared upou a great many of the
plantations in that and Macon counties. They are m
neany all cf his own and his neighbors’ fields, and
the greatest apprehensions are felt that that their rav
ages will work sad havoc throughout the country.
That they only appeared lost week and have pleuiy of
time before them to cut the crop down one-half.
He further stated that au overseer, James Martiuy*
near Marshallville, hod tried the caterpillar prepare:*
tious with very uosatisfactory results. Wherever ap
plied, the cotton died aud the worm lived. Many
planters hail tried the experiment of arsenic held in
solution by water, but lound that it eat the plant in
stead of the caterpillar.
On the other hand, nearly all the cotton buyers in
the city refuse to credit half the stories told, insistiug
that they are onlr partially true — that an immense
crop will be produced—much larger than last, equally
os large, if not greater, than any year siuce 1863. As
a matter of course, It is well nigh impossible to get
the exact truth, but that the destructive worm is in
the cotton belt of Georgia, there is not a particle of
doubt.
Mr. Rice, since his report of the devastations of the
caterpillar, says the boll worm is ou many places in
Southwest Georgia. This worm is fatal to the cotton.
Whilo the caterpillar is teriou*, though cot m-cesem'
rily death, to the cotton, the boll worm is death in tbe
first degree.
Plenty of Bnt*.
A few evenings since s party of rather gay and fes
tive youths of this city determined to make a raid
upon the thousands of bats flitting st twilight every
where, and especially upou the suburbs of the city.
Procuring one shot gun, a horse and baggy, and
erecting perfect fortifications against malarious noc
turnal dews, tbe trio headed the horse towards a
locality where more bats existed than there are cater
pillars in Dougherty county. When half the distance
had been successfully mode, tbe horse shied st the
first bat he eaw, the baggy lurched, lauding one of the
*‘bat-»llion’’ on the ground. Slating that he believed
his appetite for bats had changed very materially, he
left the party, and bats, horse and buggy and re
turned.
They then loaded the guu, patting tbe tbot in first,
determined to kill tbe next bat that pestered their
horse. Again uuder way, they soon ran into a mud
hole SDd stuck fast; tbe bats now rallied around in
force, tbe borne commenced plunging and kicking,
one man bolding the reins and the other the ann, but
it never onca occurred to him to try to shoot. His
chief business was to get oat of that buggy. The
horse finally turned it over, broke the shafts, and left
for his stable, where there were plenty of his sort of
bits in his trough. His surviving friends were left
head and body In the mad hole, bnt after prodigious
exertions they got out with loss of gun, boggy and
much other invaluable baggage uuder the seat of the
baggy.
Personal.—Mr. A. M. 0. Russell, of the Albany
Central City, came up last night, and is a guest of the
Brown House. He rays that the caterpillar is very
thick in his section of the country, and that they are
destroying the cotton wherever the Wheeensnt.
Royal poison is not used. No rains have fallen along
the road in some timo, and the son is exceedingly hot.
If it were not for tbe worm the crop would be larger
than any since 1860.
New Office of like Western Union Tele-
graph Company.
Ihe poles have been erected along Mulberry street
and completed for the new office of this company. Tbe
large and splendid room in Ayres’ Block, now occupied
by tho Central Railroad Bonk has been leased
for a term of years by this great com.
psay. The change will be greatly for the better. Be
ing on the ground floor, it will be more convenient
for the public at large, whilst the operators, clerks
and messengers are cettainly congratulating them*
selves st getting o«t of tbe "sweat box,’’ they are now
in. The office is to be furnished complete, in that
rtyle of magnificence commensorate witu tbe ad-
vanccd progress of the cily, and this its most import*
ant clement.
* Tho Smithviile Murder.
Arrangements bed been made to telegraph yon yes*
ter day from Smithviile direct, and hence no report
was sent jov from this office last night. But for some
reason you did not get the dispatch. Henry Jackson,
who was arrested on Saturday night by the petrol,
on yesterday mode a full and complete confession
of the whole affair. He satd that hie fellow prisoner,
Jesse Martin, did Ihe killing, sod that he was ouly
accessory to tho robbery. His statement to tbs Sheriff
was in effect that he did not enter tbe store at all; that
when Martin came out of the bones, be approeohed
him and demanded his portion of tbe spoils. Martin
then told bias that there was not a cent In the house,
and fearing detection be woald not take any goods or
caught and placed in an iron cige by Huff and Clay.
They have determined to get him seal fat and give him
a high seat at the coming Stste F«d% He will not be
turned loose during the exhibition unless s dog comes
on the ground. Ia all such cases be will be immediately
turned out and sent after him His trainer will be
here in a few days and commence practicing bruin in
the art of killing dogs. There is considerable art
about tbe business, and if he succeeds in mastering
it a great many people will solidly and enthusiastic
ally vote for giving him the perpetual and unlimited
freedom of tbs town.

The Georgia Gazetteer and Encyclopedia of Knowledge useful to every’ Farmer, Merchant, Manufactu
rer, Professional and Business Man in the State, compiled by JAMES P. HARRISON, will be published on
or about JANUARY i, 1874, by the Franklin Steam Printing House, Atlanta, Ga.
Determined to supply a want long felt in business circles, the Compiler and Publishers have completed
arrangements by which a work will be offered to the public equal, and in many respects superior, to any pub
lication of the kind ever brought out in the United States. The work will probably be the largest ever
issued from the Southern Press, and will be made up in the finest style of the Typographic Art.
THE FIRST EDITION WILL COMPRISE TEN THOUSAND COPIES!
The work will be illustrated with views of Public Buildings, and other points of general interest in the
State. It will also contain
»1APS OF THE CHIEF CITIES OF GEORGIA.
Among the leading features of this great and unique work will be a complete BUSINESS DIRECTORY
of every city, town and village in the State; giving the names and kind of business of every business and
professional man in each of them, alphabetically arranged; also, the name of
Every Farmer in Georgia,
with such information as will contribute toward a correct estimate of the financial standing of every* farmer,
compiled from Official Sources. The work will also give the name and office of every public officer and
functionary in the State; a list of charitable institutions, Masonic, Odd Fellow, Temperance and other Lodges
and Societies, with the names of their officers; also, a list of Churches, Schools, etc., throughout the State;
also, interesting tables from the most reliable sources of the condition of our State Finances, and its transac
tions; also, a valuable history of the material wealth and resources of the State; its railways, chief manufactures,
and internal improvements completed, in progress, or contemplated.
It will also contain a census of the State, arranged by' counties, with the value of Agricultural, Mining
and Industrial products of each county; also, a complete list ol Post Offices, Internal Revenue Offices, etc., etc.;
also, an accurate TRAVELERS’ GUIDE, with such other Statistical, Historical and General information as
will make it unsurpassed as an
IIsTVALTTABLB BOOK! OF 1 REFERENCE!
This work will be the best advertising medium ever offered to the Commercial World, and a copy of it
should be kept in every counting-room in the Southern States, and find a place in every- library.
Our Agents are now canvassing Georgia and the adjoining States. We bespeak for them the favorable
consideration of the public, and unlimited patronage for the great and invaluable Southern work they represent.
