We have been compelled ;to discontinue for a while the publication of the Laurens nnd Johnson county Directory.

It is needless to explain or apologize for our position. Every one knows that a paper cannot be conducted successfully, payin'/ as it goes, and collecting as it can. Montgomery News.

On last Friday morning some sen sation was caused in Dublin by the announcement that Daniel B. Fisher had returned and surrendered him self to the Sherff for trial at this week’s Superior Court. During the fall of 1875—-just three years ago Mr. Fisher living fivo miles North of Dublin, had a difficulty with ono of his tenants named George Mason who knocked Fisher down and stamped him. Mr. Fisher has the reputation of being “a man whom it will not do to fool with when he gets started.” This Gcorgo know, and the night after the difficulty ho lay out, being afraid if he went to his house Fisher would come upon him aud kill him. But ho (George) got another negro man named Bill Grif fon to spoud the night with lvia fam ily. The next morning just before day Bill Griffon and George's wife 1 left Gcorgo’s house and proceeded a, short distance when some ono fired from ambush and killed thef negro woman and wounded Bill in the head. It was supposed that Fisher was tho man who did the shooting that ho mistook Bill Griffon for George Mason, and that the killing of the woman was purely accidental. At tho Coroner’s inquest Bill and a little negro girl swore that tho gnu was fired by Daniel Fisher. Noah Anderson an old negro man who was also near by said he thought it was Mr. Fislior, but could not say postivoly, as it was not good light, and his eyesight was failing. Mr. Fisher left the community and has not made his appcaranco sinco till last Friday as above stated, Those are tho facts in the cast as wo have learned them from one of tho Coro ner’s jury aud other reliablo parties. Wo hear many say they do not think Mr. Fisher will be convicted. We know nothing of the case except wlmt wo have learned within tho two or three past days, not bciug a rosidont of Laurens county at the time the murder was committed. But from the light wo can get on tho subject, wo would not like to stand iu Mr. Fisher’s shoes. , * TWO-IIORSE PLOWS. Tho groat advantage of the two- horsej plow over any onc-horso device was fully proven l>y Mr. T. II. Rowe last spring. He was putting a four teen acre field in “apple pie order” for corn by breaking tho land with a two-horse plow. When about half dono tho field his two-horso plow broko and he finished by double-fur rowing the rest of the field with sin gle horse plows. Ho could not see but tluit tho latter was fully as well prepared as that dono with, tho two- horso plow, and he believed it was ns well. But when tho corn came up it at oneo began to show a differ ence in favor of the two-horse plow, which difference grew greater and groator till the corn matured. That two-horso plow was ono of tho most potent elements in procuring the big yield of which wc spoko last week-—05 bushels per aero. We notice that Judge Dimoairhns just bought ono of theso two-horso plows, and wo hopo to seo ono on every farm in the county whore as many us two horses nro used.

Ho dwelt with especial emphasis upon tho cowurdly practice so very common overywhero through out the country of carrying con coaled weapons. Ho urged tho Ju rors to strike at the root of tho evil by bringing to condign punishment that class of men who affect to be lead ora iu public affairs, but who really ought to bo in the chain-gang for tho constant violation of the law touching tho carrying of concealed weapons. No Judgo ever filled our bench who enjoyed half the personal popularity that Judge Pate possesses with all classes of our citizens. But the universal cry throughout tho county is that he is not quite strict enough on the bench, that he allows lawyers (who are dis posed to take it) too much ropo that ho doesn’t push business as he might. Bui. this much, as an offset to the Judge’s tardiness, may be said in his honor; viz., a smaller percent of his eases are reversed by the Su- - premo Court than of any other Judge in Georgia. Up to Monday evening wc notice tho following visiting law vers in attendance: Judge J. T. Shewmako of Augusta, Solicitor Tlios. Eason and J. E. Hicks of Mt Vernon, John F.
