There has been a good deal said in the news papers lately in reference to this subject. Oar gallant “ Pioneers” bare no idea of entering into a newspaper controversy about the mat ter. Conscious of the fact that they fairly won the champion bat and belt at the Firemen’s Tournament in Augusta last May. when the contest was open to all the world, and firemen were there from different parts of this and two other States, tboy are perfectly willing to re main custodians until some other company can fairly claim the prices. So far as the alleged Bainbridge challenge two yenrs ago is concerned, tboy never heard of it until recently. The gallant “ Pioneers" of Athens now hold the prizes they so fairly won, and we are au thorized by tbera to say, that if any other company want them, they can come and enter tho lists. They will l>e most hospitably en tertained while here, and. if tbey fairiy w]d them, may carry them borne in triumph. This has the ring of the true metal—means business—and if hook and ladder companies elsewhere want the prizes, let them come and tale them ! Churcu F’air. There will bo a Fair given by tho members of A. M. E. church, at tho court bouse, on the 3d of June, 1874, for the benefit of said church. All aro invited.

We regret to learn that his health is uot so good as for merly. The Fire Sunday Night, On Mrs. Rucker's premises, on Milledge Ave mie, destroyed tho kitchen, in which it origi nated, and blistered the paint on a portion of the dwelling-house, which was saved through the prompt exertions of our gallant fire de partment. All four of the companies were promptly on hand, but the distanco was so great and the lire had gained such headway that the kitchen could not tio saved. Tho alarm was given between nine and ten o’clock, when our citizens generally were at tending night service at the different cbnrcbes. We have not learned how tho fire originated. Killed. Wo learn that a colored man, named Elijah Piiee. an employee of Pioneer paper-mill, four miles from town, got caught in the ma chinery on Monday afternoon, and was crush ed to death. Ho lived about seven hours af ter tho accident occurred. State College of "Agriculture aud the Meehan* Ic Arts. The following notice of this college is copied from the New York Tribune; The Georgia State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arte, located at Athens, and presided over by Wm. LeRoy Broun, M. A., makes in its first report lately issued a reason ably satisfactory showing of resources and prospective results. We judge that the new institution is well equipped In way of instruc tors and apparatus, and the roil indicates an attendance of 151 students daring the session of 1972-'3. of which 140 wore received with out charge for tuition. For the present term, 131 have already been admitted, all bat three free. Preparatory investigations have been made by Prof. H. C. White, touching the chemistry or the cotton plant ns grown on dif ferent soils, and the Professor of Agricnlture, Dr. Pendleton, has conducted experiments on the few acres of land set apart for his purpose and will follow with others, with the view of ascertaining, among other things, “ whether bone phosphate, ground sufficiently fine, will become decomposed and rendered soluble in the waters of the soil by the action of stable ma nure and cotton seed, or by either, as to an swer all the purposesof Southern agriculture t" Profs. Pendleton aud White fill several pages with couclusious and suggostivo remarks of intelligent planters. ProL Easton’s Fine Picture. We some time ago noticed in these columns the very remarkable work of art referred to in the following very complimentary notice, which wo copy from tbo Augusta Chronicle <£■ Sentinel of a late date: A Fixe Work of Art.—Wo received yes terday, from Mr. B.

General Howell Cobb, witb a memorial inscription, tbo whole sur rounded by a beautiful wreath of oak and ivy leaves, and all executed with pen and ink. It is one of the most most remarkable pieces of art that wo have ever seen, and is speaking evidence that Prof. Euston is not only a per fect master of tbe pen, but an artist of no or dinary talent, as well. Tho likeness could uot have been Hotter. Evory liue is drawn with exquisite skill, and the entire production presents an exceedingly handsome appearance. It has all the softness of a finished crayon drawing. The work will be engraved in the finest style of art for publication among tbe people of the State. Georgia Items. Brllvf Colnri'd Fire Co.

Sunday School Celebration. On Wednesday, tho 20th inst., the Winter- villo and Cherokco Corner Sunday Schools united and enjoyed a pic nic at Dr. Hutche son's, on the Goorgia Railroad. The place selected was a most beautiful, shaded grovo, near tho school-house, and more pleasant grounds could not havo been selected. Wo arrived early, and found a number of guests present, and soon the schools came up in procession, singing appropriate bvmns, v with tho spirit aud the understanding.” It was a unarming scone, to witness tbe happy faces and listen to tho sweet voices of the chil dren, aided liy their competent and kind-heart ed teachers. Addresses wore delivered by Hon. W. King, Mayor of Athens, aud Rev. Mr. Conoway.— Both gentlemen spoke without preparation, but acquitted themselves witb the greatest credit. Beautiful and appropriate songs were intro duced during the morning. Master Walter B. Dillard—though a very small boy—made quite a fine little speech, which was delivered witb all the force aud confidence of au experienced orator. Master Ransom King also delivered a .selected piece in very good style. Dinner was now prepared by the ladies, in tbe greatest abundance and variety, and was indeed tho nicest and most tempting feast we havo overseen spread before any pic-nic party. After all bad done noble service in attacking the supplies, tbe “ broken fragments " would bave fed a large multitude. In tbo afternoon a most delightful time was enjoyed by all—especially tbe youug folks— who engaged in croquet, coquette, base, flirta tion and many other innocent amusements. There was an unusual array of beauty and loyoliness on tbe grounds—pot your city hefies, mode charming by the inventions of art, but Nature’s own beauties—the true loveliness of the country. Among tho number I could but notice ono who wore a wealth of natural hair (how strange in these times!) with tbo most beautiful eyes and charming faoe—in fact, she seemed tbo miracle of her sox, and '■ She it pure at the it fair. Non* on earth above her— Just tike tbe Angels are— To see her is to /ors her.” Among the visitors from Athens, were sev eral young men—one who, early in the day, experienced “ Love’s labor lost,” but ero the rotting of tbe sun, consoled himself by saying, All's well that ends well.” Another couple (one of whom was chairman of tbe sick com mittee) determining to be popular with tbo country girls, wore very broad brimmed hats, hoping to be taken as “ Grangers,” bat sad to relate, the aforesaid pistes mistook ti^esq hand- soiue gents for Sweeps. I had fully prepared myself for taking verbatim notes of tho speech of Mr. D., deliver ed in the afternoon, to an audience of one, bat as tbe words were spoken so softly, I could not make stenography serviceable on this occasion. I might give many incidents of this happy gathering, but fear your space wifi not allow it. So I will dose by ofiering three rousing cheers for tbe good people of the great old county ot Oglethorpe—her beauty, her hospi tality and whole-souled generosity. Respectfully, C. R. J.
