Polhill’s yesterday evening, we saw an invoice of 500 pounds of tur nip seed, comprising every standard variety- enough it looked to us to plant Burke county and half the world besides. —Judge Jethro Thomas is having the store house lately occupied by W. H. Hargraves as a tin shop -epaired, the front of which was torn off in a storm a few weeks ago. He is also hav ing a fence placed on the front side of his lumber yard on Peace street. —We heard of men being divorced from wo men, and women from men, but never heard of one man wishing to get a divorce from another until a few days ago.

Prof. R. deserves araise for the flourishing school he has built up in our town, and our citizens should give him a hearty support at the re-opening of his Septem- bei term. The Professor expects to leave on an extensive visit to the North after the closing of his school. -The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement of Dr. W. F. Holleyman to be found in another column to-day. Dr. H. has just received a large stock of fine turnip and cabbage seed. He has all the fine varieties, and if anybody Is minus a turnip patch next winter, it will surely not be his fault. Be certain and read his advertisement. —During the rain last Saturday evening a peach tree, standing in the corner of the fence, on Mr. F. F. Cates plantation, was struck by lightning, which killed at least one fourth of an acre of cotton. Strange to say, where the elec tric current struck the ground, the land being marshy, it knocked the mud up w tk such force as to strip the tree entirely of leaves. —Old man Redd, living near the Scrlven line, aged about 60 years, going to mill last week, met a Mr. Griffin in the road, who asked him how lie liked his son’s crop, which he had just passed. Old man RCdd replied that he liked it very well, but that young Griffin had a new mode of culti vation—he worked his crop and rested his land at the same time, as it was rounded while the middles were grassy and full of weeds, old man Griffin told his son what had been said, and young Griffin waylaid old man Redd on ids way from mill and “went for him” with a pole. Old man Redd used ins knife freely and cut young Griffin in seventeen places. He is not expected to live. —In another column will be found the adver tisement of Dr. J. A. Polhill. We have several times called attention to the Dootor’s stock. Sometimes we have done so in noticing his ad vertisement,, aud sometimes because he deserved commendation for both the quality and quantity of his goods. Physiolans from the coun ry can *-ave railroad fare and freights by buying from Dr. P., and experience has learned us that his drugs are always fresh and good, and may be relied upon. A good drug store is of greater importance than a good grocery store, for while one can live awhile on poor groceries, bad drugs help to kill the patient. When vou want pure drugs, go to Polnill’s.

On Tnesd ty there was a large attend anoeat the meeting of the Agricultural Association of Burke. The report of here will be services iu the Baptist church the Committee, that they had bought and paid for the grounds heretofore used os a trotting park, was received an<J adopted. The constitution and by-laws were also repor ed and adopted. The constitation declares that the object, of the Association is the development of the agricultural, mechanical and mine ral resources of this section. One of the by laws declares, that while speed shall be encouraged by liheral premi ums, lor pacing, trotting and running, no betting will be allowed on the grounds Tho punishment for betting is a fine of double the amount wagered, and on refusiog or failing to pay the fine, the member shall be ex pelled from the Association. Many of i he members increased their subscrip tions from $20 to $500. Ihe 6th, 7th and 8th of December were designa ed as the time for the first exposition of the Association The President announced the following committees : COMMITTEE ON PREMIUMS. —Dr. W. B. Jones, W.

The plan we [vocate lias worked well in comity elections ; liy not try it wLh the members of the Loglsla Pref Such a plan is not an acknowledgement |iut organization is not best. By no means, it that in Burke at this time it will ho hotter to Ivo a go-as-you-please raco. We believe it will ffeure ns a bettor representation. It will surely Jay excitement.. A little policy when no prln- Jlfplo Is sacrificed is tho true rule of success.

A new street is being opened from the town to tho ex position grounds. A good lenee and substantial buildings are soon to be erected, and that everything will be in readme s by 'he 6th of December next we have not the slightest doubt Wo lenru further from the management that they will have little troub’e in raising nil the money neodebut that it is their earnes desire that every main in the county shall he a stockholder—then they will not fail to feel a proper jutor- o t in the enterprse. This ’ is thought spirit, and we sincerely hope the w*sb- may boo msurumated. The object of the Association is tho development *nd im- provement,j).$our grand old ooanty, the A TERRIBLE HOMICIDE. Another terrible deed of blood has been perpetrated in our county—an other bloody page has been added to the history of crime of the colored people of Burke. On last Saturday evening, about 6 o’clock, Jim Jones stabbed Alfred Cooper, both colored, so terribly that he died in five min utes. The circumstances, as develop.-, ed by the testimony on the commit ment trial are about as follows: Some two weeks ago, Clara, the wife of Jones, sold Cooper a puppy for a chicken, which Cooper failed to pay at the time the contract for the puppy was made. On Wednesday of last week, Clara approached Cooper, and dunned him for the chicken. A dispute or brawl occurred in which Cooper knocked or shoved the woman down. Her husband, Jim Jones, who was present, picked up a hoe which was j near, and struck Cooper a terrible Mow on the head, inflicting a con siderable scalp wound. The men were separated, that difficulty ended there. During the next two days Cooper made more than one attempt to get satisfaction for the blow on his head, but Jim kept out of his way. On Saturday evening Jones and Cooper were in town, and met about the middle of Mr. W. McCathern’* store, when Cooper struck at Jones with a loaded hickory stick. Jones dodged the stick, and drawing a very com mon pocket knife, delivered several terrible blows in rapid succession, one taking effect in Cooper’s right breast just ! elow the nipple, making a ghastly wound, aud another cutting Cooper’s jaw open from bis ear to his chin. Cooper fell to the floor, but arose and walked out of the frout door of the store, and some six or eight feet up the pavement, where he fell again and expired in five minutes. Jones ran out of the store, but was captured by Deputy Marshal McCroan and lodged iB jail. The preliminary trial came on for a hearing before Ji^tice W. S. Godbee on Wednesday, occupying the whole day in taking the testimony, and was argued Thurs day morning. The Slate was repre sented by T. D. Oliver, Esq , who did his whole duty ablv and well, while the prisoner was defended by Col. J. J. Jones and Hon. H. H. Perry with their well-known skill in the law. After a day and a half’s patient hear ing Justice Godbee bound the de fendant over to the next term of the Superior Court, fixing the bond at $100 lor the crime of voluntary man slaughter. Jones has, we learn, given the bond and been released from jail. T V nttornoys on both sides did their du x skillfully and well, while Justice Godb-o deserves commendation for his path xt hearing, close attention an I careful ru \ng during this long and intricate in ’estimation. we inquired for our friends of the first one we met. To our satisfaction we found Mr. Gay in his store near by, (by- the-way, he is a handsome young baeh- lor, and on the lookout for a better half,) and making ourself known was taken charge of by\him and made to feel at home, and displayed that hospi tality which is so natural with the Geor gia bachelor. After a sumptuous breakfast Mr. Gay and ourself set out on a morning’s stroll of a couple of miles to Palmer’s mill, where the din ner was to occur. Arriving there, we found the pit smoking hot and cover ed with fat carcases, and Mr. Attaway with mop in hand basting ihe savory meat- and bossing the cooks, the result later in the day proving him to be an adept in the art of barbecuing. Here we met Mr. Palmer, who instituted a new series of kindnesses, and although a perfect, stranger, we soon felt t hat we had fallen into good hands. Soon the company began to arrive, the crowd in creasing until it was just large enough to give every one a chance to be social. The arrival of the band caused a glow to spread oyer the faces of the young peo ple, and taking possession of an unocc u pied store-house, they were soon en gaged in threading the mazy figures of the dizzy cotilion to the strains of “mu., sic by the band,” while the old folks looked on pleased to see the young peo- j pie so happy. The day wore on, and at aooutl o’clock dinner was announced, and all repaired to the table under a treat old wateroak, which groaned with its load of luxuries ; there was enough and to spare, though many tarried long at the board. Dinner over, the young pmple returned to their devotions at the shrine of Terpsichore, while the old men sought the shade, and lighting their pipes discussed the political situation. The ^ay ended, and the company dis persed to their home feeling that they had spent a happy day. As to our self, we are under obligations to our new friends for one of the most pleasant days of our life, and shall long remem ber the barbecue at McBean. We made many pleasant acquaintances, la dies as well as gentlemen, maidens as well as matro' a, and we will be sure to go again when the opportunity offers. Cabbage Seed.

A. Polhill, consisting of snap beans, roastingcars, squash and onions. They were not only fine, but very tine. Again, on Wednesday, Mrs. W. A. Wilkins sent us a present of vegetables not to be equaled, let alone the idea of excelling them. Beats, weighing 41 pounds, cabbage, 41 pounds, onions, squash, oubumbers, etc. Maj.
