Death of Col. John Billups.
—Our community was shocked on Tues
day the ISth inst., by the announcement
that this eminent and revered citizen had
died that morning at six o’clock, at his
residence in this place, of paralysis ot the
heart and lungs.
Col. Billups was a prominent citizen
of Georgia, and bud been often honored
as such ; but much oltencr declined of
fice mid place when lie could do so with
propriety.
lie was a native of Georgia, and was
born early in this century, being about
sixty-eight years.of age. In consequence
of an existing interregnum in Franklin
college, lie was sent in his boyhood for
a liberal education principally to Prince-
, . .. — toil College, and placed under that cele-

A Doctress—so-Oalled—in Lim
bo.—We learn that an old colored wo
man who has been permitted to practice
about Town witli roots and herbs quite
extensively among whites ns well as
blacks, has come to grief. One of her
prescriptions to a patient in Jackson
county, was submitted to a physician
tor analysis, and was found to be a dead
ly preparation. She was arrested and
lodged in jail ir. Jefferson. It is time
the numerous devices of quackery were
summarily stopped. Among these, are
the nostrums of travelling mountebanks,
vended at the street comers, usually ac
companied by the strains of an old fiddle,
or coarse songs, to draw a crowd. Thous
ands of dollars are thus- inveigled from
the ignorant, for vile and worthless com

General Harwell Pope in the Florida war
against the Indians, a small remnant of
whom still infest the everglades, lie w as
probably tlie most popular man in Ogle
thorpe county in his day, and one of his
motives in removing to Athens, among
others, was to get rid of the importuni
ties of his fellow-citizens, (to whom he
was greatly attached,) to press him into
service as a public officer. But such was
his aptitude, naturally, and without any
such design, to win the love and confi-
M.iaJe-! ^ encc of the people, that he was not suf
fered to remain at home, but literally-
forced on several occasions into the State
Senate, over which body he was elected
President, and presided with a dignity
nnd courtesy unsurpassed by any of his
illustrious predecessors.
lie was for many years a zealous and
important Trustee of the University of
Georgia, ever ready to advocate its inter
ests am) defend it against all attacks. Ilis
sons were educated within its halls; his
relatives and friends were attracted to it
by liis influence nnd example.
In his manners lie was a model gentle
man, distinguished for liis urbanity ; in
liis conversation and social intercourse
he was always agreeable, often playful
and fond of good humored jesting; as a
public speaker, he was forcible, rapid,
fervid, impassioned and eloquent ; when
i lie committed his thoughts to paper, his
! literary taste was faultless. Among his
: noble traits, his generous and elegant
hospitality must not be omitted.
He was one of our few distinguished
public men wlio was constantly living to
shun office, and after whom office was as
constantly chasing. Would that wo had
more, many more ol the same sort!
Col. Billups lost two ot his sons in
the late struggle for Southern independ
ence ; noble boys! for whom his great
fatherly heart was stricken to a degree
none but such a father could fully real
ize; nnd his devotion to the welfare of
liis surviving sons and only daughter,
und grand-daughter, was beyond all thnt
language can depict, lie bad, outside
of bis own family nnd kindred, his friend
ships as true, ns generous, nnd ns confid
ing as the best and noblest of God’s in
telligent, accountable creatures here be
low ever manifest. lie was capable of
telling all in his heart to his friend with
out a misgiving. He did distrust him
self in one sense, and hence he never
made a public profession of religion.
He was a regular worshipper at the
Presbyterian church, when his health
would permit, a believer in its doctrines
and discipline, nnd a liberal supporter of
its ministry nml institutions. It was
known only 'to n few intimate lricnds
thnt he considered himself a converted
nuin—a sinner saved by grace; yet so
fearful was he ol being deceived.in this
great matter, that he was restrained from
making a public profession of his faith
| in our Lord us the only Savior of sin-
I ners. lie had erected in his own mind
mi imaginary standard for God’s elect too
'■'•II—. Hu!- high fi<r him tn attain, and of which he

Go»pei li.ith is net doubted by those few

; ;").t til lotoher, 1868, j lu-iiit. Let this assurance comfort his
surviving family and relatives far and
near: and let his noble life and elegant
manners be emulated by the educated
young men of our good old common
wealth.
We trust that a proper tribute will lie
paid to his memory at an early day, by
some one Inmiliar with bis life and char
acter, and that so worthy a citizen shall
not be permitted to pass out of the minds
of our people.

Serious Shooting Affair.—
On Tuesday evening about dark, Mr.
IV llliatn Jones, residing nbout five miles
from town, was shot by a Mr. Aycock.—
There had been a difficulty between the
parties some time ago, and it is stated
that Mr. Aycock was with his wagon, near
the lower bridge, ns Jones was riding by,
when Aycock drew his pistol and fired
twice; one shot entered his body and the
other inflicted a severe wound iu his arm.
Mr. Jones was taken to Mr. Richard Eber-
hart’s, where surgical attendance was
summoned. It was found that the ball
had entered his body, and ns he subse
quently commenced vomiting bleed, the
wound was considered fatal. He was
alive on yesterday.

We Jailed to state last week that Mr. R,
L. R'oomfield resigned his position us

S. P. Tliuimond Esq., one of the Directors
resigned,and C. W. Hood Esq., ot Harmo

The triends ot the enterprise are san
guine that it will move forward without

The Little Corporal.—This
popular juvenile monthly comes to us in
a handsome new uniform, having laid
aside its military dress and donned the
garb of peace. This change is timely and
proper, as it must be admitted that there
are a great many of its little readers who
have not received the best impressions of
“ boys in blue.” The Corporal, however,
was always welcome, in spite ot his mil
itary toggery, ns he has no offensive war-
grudges to rehearse, and is a pleasant
companion for young people everywhere.
The New Year opened with a Prize Sto
ry, and the illstrations arc fine, and pot
excelled by any other similar periodical
in the land. While parents and child
ren are looking for something nice for
the New Year let us suggest a trial of

THE EFFECTS CF
Feililizor:
AcQUITTKD.—Sam Ford,
killed George Brittain a feu- days ago,
was arraigned last week for murder. |
Messrs Morton and Lyle assisted Solicitor
Mnrler in the prosecution, and Messrs
Speer and E. P. Lumpkin were employed
in liis defence. A searching investiga
tion failed to establish clearly that he
was not acting in self-defence, and he
wns acquitted. The prosecution was
skillfully managed—Mr. Lyle’s speech
was signally able—and the speech ol Mr.
Speer, in the defence was especially ad
mired for its legal power and eloquence.
The outside impression— especially among
the negroes, was very strong against the
prisoner; but he has always born a good
character, and the trial brought out cir
cumstances indicating great provocation
to the killing.
Amn jr.’Y Killed.—Snmnci’s
amendment to the amnesty bill, which
required tlie admission of negroes to all
hotels, cars, steamboats, cemeteries, etc.,
■was adopted in the Senate by the casting
vote of Colfax. The bill was then kill
ed. This is well. If amnesty must l»c
purchased at such a price, the people of
the South can aflord to bear the penalties
of their offending indefinitely.
Mortality in Athens.—We
learn from Mr Chappell, Superintendent
of the Cemetery, that the number of in
terments in Athens, in 1871, including
both cemeteries, and also burials in pri
vate lots, was fourteen whites and forty-
six blacks. Most of the whites who died
last vear were over sixtv ve<m of age.

Educational Bill—The bill in
aid of education has passed the House
with amendments that take away many
of its objectionable features. The States
may forbid mixed schools. One-half the
proceeds of the sales of public lands arc
to be distributed among tlie States ac
cording to the number of illiterates.—
The amount will l»e about $1,000,000

The Savannah Republican.—
IVo present in our advertising columns
tlie curd of this old nnd reliable journal.
It is the oldest paper in the State. It is
thoroughly Georgian in feeling, aims and
efforts; and we commend it to our read
ers as a paper in every way worthy of
their support.
Col Frank Schallkr.—We clip
the following paragraph from the Savan
nah Kelts of the 10th : This well-known
gentleman and distinguished soldier, who
was the European correspondent of the
Morning Kelts in 1868-70, nnd whose let
ters are doubtless reinunbeacd by our
readers, has inaugurated the Cotton States
Land nnd Immigration Company, with
headquarters at Athens. Col. Sclmller
is a German by birth, but a resident of
the South for the past seventeen tears.—
He served with distinction during the
Conledcrate war, and at its close devoted
himself to the improving of the material
and substantial resources oi the country.
As General State Agent for the State of
Virginia from 1868 to 1871, he did much
by his efforts throughout Northern Ger
many to turn the tide ot emigration from
the West to the “Old Dominion.” We
hope his new enterprise will meet with
that success which it so eminently de-
erves.

The Atlanta Bank Seizure.
The State authorities have found as
sets in the National Bank siezed last
week, amounting to about §125,000,
enough to about secure the claim of the
State as admitted 1 by Bullock. The
Bank has commenced suit in the U.
S. Court to recover possession of its
assets.
Prks.s Tax.—Controller Bell has
published a card stating that the press
tax will not be required until after the
next Legislature adjourns.
No Railroad Accidents in Ger
many.—The reason there has never
been a person killed or injured on a
German railroad is because the com
panies are required to renew their rails
at stated times, before they are utterly
worn out, and great cafe is exacted of
all in charge of trains to avoid colli
sions.
Silver Tipped Shoes.—Shoes nre
an important item in the expense of
clothing children, as every parent will
understand. Thej^n variably wear out
their shoes nt the toe first, and not un-
frequeutlv before the other parts are a
quarter worn. Children’s shoes with
silver or copper tips never wear out at
the toe, and last twice as long. Iie-
mcniljer this.—N. Y. Post.
