Agricultural Fairs*-State and Connty. I
However desirable the perpetuation of tbe |
State Fair may be considered, and however
beneficial it may bn—ami we presume no one
doubts that it has done much to awaken an
interest in agricultural pursuits and stimu
late production—we do not think it good poli
cy to abandon District and County Fairs.
They supply a place which tbe State Fair can
not 611. There are thousands of people who
cannot stand the expense of visiting the State
Fair, who would not only bo visitors but ex
hibitors at County Fairs. In addition to this,
they are very pleasant annual re-uoions of
neighbors and friends, where not only tbe old
men, but the young folks, the women, chil
dren and sorvauts, may enjoy a few days’ in •
uocent relaxation from the severe labors of
the farm, the factory, the store, the work-shop,
office. &c.
A6wi11 be seen by advertisement in this pa
per, the Fair grounds of the Clarke County
Agricultural Society are advertised to be sold
at public sale on the first Tuesday in next
month. Have we not sufficient public spirit
among us to organize a Fair Association with
necessary funds to purchase, improve and fit
up the Fair Grounds in handsome style, for
the purpose of bolding annual fairs for North
east Georgia t Let the necessary prepara'ion
be made for a grand opening next Fall. Our
railroad will be in full blast by that time-
furnishing ample facilities for our up-country
triends to visit tbe Fair aud exhibit their pro-
dtifttft.
Will not some of our public spirited citizens
who have tho means take hold of this matter
in limn f It will probably be too late after
the property passes Into private hands.
More Buildings Needed.
Now that our building facilities are greatly
increased, it is to be Imped that our capital
ists will go to work improving vacant lots. We
shall have a large increase of population, and
new-emuers don’t wish to campout while wait
mg fur houses to he built. Let them bo got
ready at once. There will be no trouble about
soiling and renting.
Death of Singleton Lucas.
Our citizens were greatly grieved at the in
lelligenco of the death of Singleton Luc is,
eldest son of nur esteemed fellow citizen, F.
W. Lucas, F.-q . which was communicated to
tbe family in this (dace by telegraph on Sun
day afternoon. The s.td event occurred on
the plantation in Early county, on Sunday
morning.
We knew the deceased from his childhood,
and. in common with all who were acquaint
ed with him, can boar testimony to his many
good qualities—warm hearted and generous,
affable and polite, lie made friends of all who
knew him. Our entire community sympathize
with the family iu their hour of affliction.
Incendiary Fires.
We learn that tlm stable and barn of Mr.
J. M. Booth, oi Jackson county, were ennsu
med by fire one night last week. We have
not learned the amount of bis loss.
On the same night tho mill of Mr. Greono S.
Arnold was fired, but having been discovered
in time, the flames were extinguished.
Both fires are believed to have been kind
led by incendiary bauds.
Memorial Service.
Tbn following obituary notice of Mrs. Mary
M. Stone, whose death we announced some
time ago, was read at the Methodist cbnrch on
Sunday night:
Sister Mary McKenzie Stone was bern on
the 18th of September, 1837. She was con
verted at a gracious meeting under the pasto
rate of Dr. A. T. Mann, in the Spring of 1853.
and immediately thereafter joined the church.
She was married to the Rev. Ellison D. Stone,
on tbe 3d of March. 1859. and entered into her
rest on tbe 16tb of August, 1874.
Tbe subject of this notice was a woman of
no ordinary character. Possessing a fine mind
and clear judgment, she ordered her household
aright, aud to her honored husband was a help
meet indeed. In bis ministerial labors, she
gave him her full co-operation, and rejoiced to
see him laboring successfully in the cause of
the Master she so much loved. In all his trials
and cares, her heart was full of sympathy, and
words of comfort and cheer were ever ready
She showed him tbe silver lining of many t
dark cloud, and her sweet counsel enabled bim
to bear cheerfully and with gentle spirit bis
many worldly cares. As a wife, she was de
voted and affectionate at all times; as a mo.
thcr, she was indulgent almost to a fault, and
yet tho ’• spirit that was within her” enabled
her to lead her children in the path of duty,
with a Ann hand. No doubt the lessons of
Christian love, humility and usefulness which
they saw in her life will, in afterlife, lead them
to the cross of Christ. God has promised
blessings to the third and fourth generations
of those that love him and keep bis command
mei.ts. What a treasury of blessing is iu store
for her little ones! As a Christian, sister
Stone's fa*tb was simple, pure and deep—not
demonstrative, but full of earnestness—and
though she was timid, and often expressed
doubts and fears as to her spiritual state, yet
her consistent, self-denying life, gave proof,
stronger than words, that she had drank deep
of the water of life, and was herself like a well
in tint Valley of Bara. She has gone from us.
hut in her home is left the precious influence
of her holy life. In the church she has left a
void, but the memory of her virtues and Chris
tian life shall he to us an example, who are
only waiting for a summons to the “shining
shore.”
But a few days before her death, she ex
pressed her feeling of unworthiness, hut said
that while her husband was away attending to
his ministerial duties, she was not alone, for
.her Savior was present with her. She then
desired to see Dr. Speer and Bro. Lewis, both
ol whom she regarded most highly. They had
been her pastors, and doubtless had carried
comfort to her heart in many a season of trial
and darkness. Now, in her last great trial,
lu r last coherent wish was to hear tho blessed
promises of her Lord from his accredited mes
sengers. Soon afier this, she became delirious,
and with but few lucid intervals, she passed
to tier reward. While our hearts are full ol
8) mpathy for her sorrowing husband aud her
motherless children, yet we thank God that we
have the strongest assurances that she has, ere
this, passed into the City and Temple of nur
God, and is now free from sorrow and anxiety,
in tho arms of her Savior, waiting to welcome
ns when we shall be called. K.

Suicide.
Wo learn from Mr. Robert Dicken, of Mon
roe, that a young man named William Carter,
committed suicide at Social Circle, in Walton
county, on Thursday last, by shooting him
self through the bead with a pistol. Itissaid
that ho was under the intluence of liquor when
this nisi) act was committed.
Welcome to the City.
Wo aro pleased to learn that among the
many accessions to our population. Messrs.
Eaves it McGinty, and Homes & Clayton, en
ergetic, intelligent and enterprising builders,
aud Mr. Carroll, who will superintend tho
laundry and soap factory—all recently of Car-
tersvillo—have determined to cast their lots in
our rapidly growing young city. We are pleas
ed to record the advent of such men in our
community. They aro the sort of men who
build up towns and cities—they not only ac
cumulate—but what is better—create icealth.
We need a thousand more, like them.
Lncy Cobb Institute.
We find the following highly complimentary
reference to Mrs. G. H. Stark", in a letter from
Eiifanla, Ala., in tbe Christian Index, ml tbe
22-1 nit:
“The College of our city began its exercises
last Monday, with Mrs. M. J Shorter—the
consort of the late Gov John G. Shorter—as
Principal. This announcement is sufficient
to satisfy your readers of tho favorable cir
cumstances under which it opened, ar.d the
certainty of its success. Brother P. in re
tiring from tho presidency, retains an impor
tant position in its Faculty. Tho “ Lucy Cobh
Institute,” at Athens, with tnat commendable
foresight and appreciation, so characteristic
of Georgia colleges, and to tho great regret of
our citizens, has deprived this institution of
oneofthe best and most popular teachers (Mrs.
G- U. Starke) ever connected with its Facul
ty. She has been connected with it for eight
years, and though many changes have taken
place, her position was always considered per
manent. We congratulate the peopleof Athens
on having such an accession to their commu
nity, and the patrons of “ Lucy Cobb” on bar
ing obtained tho services of so accomplished
and faithful a teacher.”
For Tax Receiver.
ty We are authorized to announce Duke
Hamilton as a candidate for Tax Receiver of
Clarke county, subject to the Democratic
nomination.
As candidates have been called npon to state
their position on certain qaestinns,he will say

Narrow Escape.
Wo learn that one day last week an explo
sion occurred at the Pioneer paper-mill, four
miles from town, which blew out one end of a
steam dryer with grear force. One of tho cm
ployees of the mill had been in front of it just
an instant before tho accident occurred, and
certainly made a very narrow escape.
Homicide.
We learn that in a difficulty which occurred
at Woodville last weak between a white man
and negro, the latter was stabbed in tbe throat
and instantly killed. The white man gave
himself up to tbe authorities, but was released
—having clearly acted in self-defence.

Sugar Cane in Clarke.
We were shown a few days ago a stalk of
sugar cane—not sorghum, but the real, genu
ine cane—grown two miles from tho city by
Capt. S. Berwick. Sixteen joints had matured,
and Capt. B. is of opinion that sugar aud syrup
can be profitably grown here. Will not somo
of our enterprising planters make the experi
ment t We do not bolieve there is any possi
bility of failure, if the proper attention is be
stowed upon it.
To Preserve Strained Homy.
We are indebted to a lady friend for the fol-
owing useful recipo r
Strained honey can be preserved perfectly
pure and sweet, for years, by putting Into a
sauce-pan or preserving kettle, and boiling and
skimming for half hour. Bottle It and stop
the bottle with a common cork.
Prolific Cotton.
Tho chief complaint concerning cotton in
this region, the present year, has been that it
shed its fruit during the dry hot weather in
August, and left the holla few and far between.
We visited the patches of Mr. Edward Ban
croft, in this city a few days ago, to see a new
kind of cotton he has been growing three or
four years past, called •• Herlong.” Itiscor-
ainly tlie most prolific cotton we ever saw,
and not a D- >11 seems to be missing. The stalks
branch extensively .and every stalk and branch
is literally crammed with bolls. Much of it is
broken down by tho great weight of the bolls.
When we saw it about one third bad been
picked, and if another boll never opens the
yield per acre would bo heavy ; but it will all
or nearly all open after tbe heavy frosts of the
last few days. .
A portion of it did not come up until June,

ally and plant the “ Herlong” seed. They will
never complain of a lack of fruit—they may
complain of too much, however. It seems
that it did not shed at all. Give it a trial
next year. . _

We are indebted to Miss Mattie Lumpkin
for a sarapleof her fine white globe turnips,
which certainly cannot be excelled. She in
forms us that tbe land on which they grew was
broken up in July, being matted with Bermu
da grass, and that tbe only fertilizer nsed was
a small quantity of leached ashes. She ex
presses the opinion that Bermuda grass cer
tainly enriches land. We believe this is a
generally conceded fact. ' -
Ice and Frost.
Sunday morniog we saw the first ice of the

VINEGAR BITTERS
No Person can take these Bitten
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar
Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that
ever sustained tho sinking system.
Bilions, Remittent, and Intermit
tent Fevers, which ore so prevalent in the
valleys of our great rivers throughout tho
United States, especially those of the Mis
sissippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee,
Cumberland, Arkansas, Bed, Colorado, Bra
zos, Bio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile,
Savannah,Boanoke, James.ond many others,
with their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and Au
tumn, and remarkably so during seasons of
unusual heat and dryness, are invariably
accompanied by extensive derangements of
the stomach and liver, and other abdominal
viscera. In their treatment, a purgative,
exerting a powerful influence upon these
various organs, is essentially necessary.
Thero is no cathartic for the purpose equal
to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as
they will speedily remoro the dark-colored
viscid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at tho same time stimulating the
secretions of the liver, aud generally restor
ing tho healthy functions of the digestive
organs.
Dyspepsia or Iudisccstion, Headache,
Pain in tho Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness
of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Ernctations of
the Stomach, Bad Taste in tho Mouth, Bil
ious Attacks,Palpitation of the Heart,Inflam
mation o£ tho Lungs, Pain in the region of
the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful
symptoms, are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee of
its merits than a long: hy advertisement.

lings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck,
high respectability and great business capacity, and
therefore reliability is assured.**—St. Louis Hrpub.
Tbe Texas Odd-Fellow also endorsed the above, and
states:
u From our long and favorable knowlcdgo of tbe firm
wo take pleasure in oommending them to tho public ae
honest, honorable gentlemen.’*
And tbe Qalveston News adds :
11 Tbe distribution will comprise over B0,000 acres
of land, located in thirto-eigbt counties, aud it i? pro
mised by gentlemen, whoso characters are equal to
those of auy in the land, that they will be fairly, hon
estly and equitably distributed.**
And tbe Age, of Houston, states :
A FINK IMMIGRATION SCHEME.
VY C Wag ley and Robert Lockart, of tho firm of Wag-
ley A Lockart, are both prominent and reliable citi
zens of Houston. In tbeir own right, and as author
ized agents, they hold subject to disposal somo ol' the
most valuable reri estate property in this city, and
thousands of acres of land in tho best section? of Texas.
Theschemeombraces thedistribution of$300,000 worth
of Texas lands. They put iuto the distribution tba
brick building on Main street, in this city,:i ml in which
is the office of this paper, valued at $1§,000, and a
splendid dwelling house on Rusk street (tho ** Fifth
Avenue** of Houston,) nnd s veral hundred unimprov
ed building lots in thi3 growing young city. F<»r tho
small sum of three dollars, one takes tbe chance of
becoming tbe lawful owner of Texas property worth
from $300 to $18,000. So far us regards the statiding
of th« managers, that is .*i mutter beyond the possibil
ity of cavil."
Tho Telegroph, of Houston, thus vpeaks of the dis
tribution :
Tbe drawing will oomo ofi on the 21 st of December,
just iu time for lots of people to get a substantial
‘Christmas gift.* Tbe card gives all tho particulars
much better than we can write tdoin. and we need only
give our readers tbe assurance that tbe managers are
men of standing and reliability.**
Tho Herald, of Dallas, another gro wing city of Tex
as, commends its advantages to the public thus :
‘We can vouch for the responsibility of the firm,
and that all they premise they will perform. Tbs
scheme is an excellent one. in our opinion, ns a means
of settling up our State and invitingimmigration.**
The Herald, Crockett, Texas, says :
The plan theso gentlomen have adopted, to soil the
large amount of land for which they are agents, is a
most commendable one. Tbe drawing will be con
ducted on the best plan that can he adopted, to secure
fairness to all. Messrs. Wagley <t Lockart are old
Real Estate Agents of Houston, and are men who have
a reputation for honesty and integrity.**
Kansas City Chronicle remarks:
** Wagley A Lockart, of Houston, Texae, offer chances
to get a good farm in Texas for $3. It is a square
thing.**
The Press, Paris, Texas, remarks s
“The well-known firm of Wagley A Lockart, the
largest Real Estate firm in tho State, are tbe oiigl*
nators of this scheme, by which thousands of acres
will be brought into use, mod a large population add
ed."
The Willis Observer states: A 1 *
"These gentlemen are too well known to need any
further endorsement of ours.**
The Ellis county News, Texas, comments as follow!:
"These gentlemen are trustworthy and reliable.-—
There is a chance for you to obtain a good borne by
investing the small sum of $3. Tho distribution will
positively take place at Houston, Deoember 2lat."
Commendations of tbe " Distribution/* aro being re
ceived every day from leading citizens aud publio
officials of Texas, showing that they aro fully alive to
its merits.
