Seer Hunt.
Occasionally a deer is killed in the
Oconee swamps and piney woods in
the lower part of this county. We
learn that Maj. Irwin killed one last
week. Learning that several gentle
men were going on a hunt on Friday
last and that they expected to kill two
or three deer, we obtained a promise
from one of the party to give us an
account of their day’s sport. He com
plied with his promise briefly as fol
lows. We shall expect a full account
of a more successful hunt soon. We
wonder that these experienced hunters
had nothing along to lend a relish to
that “stagnant water”!

Mr. Editor : Perhaps an account of
our deer hunt on Friday last, though
unsuccessful, would not be altogether
uninteresting to you ; therefore I will
endeavor to give you a brief sketch of
it. There were nine of us from Mil
ledgeville and vicinity met at Maj.
Irwin’s (who, by the way, is one of
the most hospitable gentlemen I ever
met) ubout seven o’clock in the morn
ing. After the necessary preparation
we proceeded to the river swamps of
Messrs. Irwin, Tucker and Ilail on the
Oconee. After making several pretty
exteusive drives and meeting with no
luck, we concluded to retire from the
swamps, and came out by way of Mr.
Hall’s causeway, which is a dangerous
place for breaking horses’ legs; as our
friend Mr. Crutchfield very truly said,
it is ‘a regular horse trap.’ Fortu
nately we all got out safe, but not
without considerable difficulty. We
then made a short drive in the piney
woods, finding nothing better than a
beautiful spring of nice cool water,
which was not a little relished by
weary huntsmen after drinking the
warm stagnant water of the lakes all
day. We are going again in a few
day-, when I hope to be able to give
you an account of a more pleasant
and successful hunt. K.
A Stfoc n« Hie Grand Central Hotel, New
York.
[New York Correspondence.')
No one who lias visited Europe will fail to appre
ciate the following :
A prominent Boston gentleman, a proprietor of one
of tiie lending Boston Dailies, bad just ariived in tb
steamer from Euiope, and met with a Nc-w York
friend, while registering liis name in the exchange of
the Grand Central Hotel. The New Yorker evidently
expects to hear the usual glowing tale of those fresh
from the tour, and begins thus: “Hallo, Charley
Glad to see you back ! How-d’ you enjoy yourself,
old fellow ? Have a good time ?” “Good time,” grum
bled Charley, ‘I’m so glad to get back, I cau’t tell!
I’ve had nothing to eat siuce I’ve been away. Prunes
and sour wiue going, and prunes amt sour wine com
ing. Si<k as a dog, at that! London—bloody beet
and cold mutton, ale and fog. Paris—sour wines and
fancy crumbs. Germany, etc—bitter beer, sour wine,
and Heaven knows what in the dishes. Taverns—
candles, and paid service everywhere. Not a first-
class sensible hotel like this anywhere, to say nothing
of the price. Thark the Lord I’m home again!’
“But the steamer ! the ocean 7” suggested Charley's
friend “Prunes and sour wiue I toll you,” cried
Charley. “Let’s go up stairs and get something to eat .”
And they disappeared in the elevator to the evident
amusement, not to say gratification, of mine host
Powers and of a number of other gentlemen who had
thus heard European and American hotels so summa
rily and truthfully criticised and the Grand Central
“brought to the front” in such few words.

Athens, Ga., Aug. 1S73.
Editors Constitutionalist: During the
session of the State Agricultural Con
vention, composed of delegates from
all the counties of Georgia, Mr. Ca
pers, an officer of this representative
body, whose sagacity is only equalled
by his eloquence and energy, brought
forward a resolution recommending a
State Constitutional Convention in
order to make our organic law con
forming to the wants of the material
interests of the State.
In support of the resolution, Mr
Capers referred to the masterly argu
ment of Gov. Smith, made the day be
fore, to our defective laws upon the
subject of contracts; our defective
labor system, and to the weakness of
the Judiciary, which the Governor
had so perfectly elaborated. Refer
ence was also made to a paper read
by Hon. Wm. McKinley of Baldwin,
in which the English system of copy-
hold estates and cottage tenancy, was
most ably and distinctly set forth as
being the surest and most practical
manner in which we can identify the
laborer with the soil, and preserve the
soil as our heritage and the inheri
tance of our children. I find that the
views of Colonel Capers are those of
nine-tenths of our thinking citizens of
all departments of industrial life. We
do need a State Constitutional Con
vention to conform our organic law to
the wants of not only the material but
to the immaterial interests of our peo
ple. I have written this communica
tion to bring this important matter
before the people through your valua
ble journal, which we are glad to know
has been re-established. Let our coun
ty meetings this Fall express fully the
sense of the people upon the subject,
and let our weak-kneed Legislature
gather strength enough to call for a
Constitutional Convention.

A Constitutional Convention in
Arkansas.—Several leading citizens
of Little Rock, Arkansas, including
Messrs. J. F. Fagan, Charles F. Cun
ningham, John S. Duffie, Lee L.
.Thompson and R. A. Burton, have is
sued an appeal to the people of the
State in behalf of a Constitutional
Convention. They recite facts that
are known of all men, that enormous
frauds were perpetrated in the last
State election ; that recent legislation
has created a number of unnecessary
offices ; that already burdensome taxes
have been increased ; that a large
number of offices are filled by persons
not legally elected ; that the resources
of Arkansas are not being developed
as they should be ; that her scrip and
and bonds have depreciated ; that im
migration to her borders has almost
ceased ; that the taxes have continued
to increase until they are equivalent to
confiscation ; and, that all business is
paralyzed ; and, finally, that the short
est and most effectual way out of these
difficulties is through a Constitutional
Convention.

Tiie Wear and Tear of l.ife.
The cares, anxieties aud misfortunes of life have as
much to do with shortening it as disease. They are in
fact the source of many ailments and physical disabili
ties. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, aflection of the
liver, disturbances of the bowels, headache, hypo
chondria and monomania are among these distressing
fruits. It is, therefore, of great importance that per
sons whose minds are oppressed with heavy business
responsibilities, or harassed by family troubles, or ex
cited by speculation, or perplexed by a multiplicity of
enterprises, or in any way overtaxed or overworked,
should keep up their stamina by the daily use ot a
wholesome tonic. Thousands of persons thus circum
stanced are enabled to bear up against the difficulties in
which they are involved, and to retaiu their strength,
health and mental clearness, by the regular use of
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Diseases which are
urone to attack the body when debilitated and broken
down by over-much brain work or exhausting physical
labor urekeptat bay by the resistant power with
which tiiis incomparable tonic endows the uervoussys-
tem and the vital organs. At this season when the
heat is evaporating the elements of strength fiom every
pore, an iuvigorant is absolutely essential to the safe
ty and comfort of the public, aud is required even by
the more robust if they desire to keep their athletic ca
pabilities in status quo. Hence a course of Ilostctter s
Hitters is particularly useful at this period of tbe year
as a defence against the invisible disease afloat in a sul
try atmosphere. It is the most potent of all preven
tive medicines, and for all complaints which afreet the
stomach, tiie liver aud the bowels, and interlere with
the perfect digestion and assimilation of food, it is the
standard remedy. 21m.
Of present fame think little, and of
future less. The praises that we re
ceive after we are buried, like the
poises that are strewn over our graves,
may be gratifying to the living ; but
they are uotbiug to tbe dead.

Rsterasr Iteilk'a Speech, sad Other Mat
ters,
Colonel W. J. Lawton returned last
night from Athens, and from him we
obtain some particulars in regard to
the doing of the agriculturists at
Athens on Wednesday.
The report of the committee on
commercial fertilizers was read by the
chairman, Hon. B. C. Yancey, and
discussed by Colonel George W.
Adams, of Monroe; M. C. Fulton, of
McDuffie; and Mr. Yancey. The re
port was adopted.
Professor W. LeRoy Brown, of
Athens, read a very elaborate and
learned essay upon the subject of agri
cultural colleges.
Ou motion of Col. Thos. Hardeman,
of Bibb, General A. H. Colquitt was
unanimously re-elected President by
acclamation. This- was right, as no
man could have been put into that
position who could have filled it more
to tbe satisfaction of the people.
During the morning Governor Smith
was presented to the convention, and
made an address touching the best
means of advancing the happiness and
prosperity of the people of Georgia.
He detailed from facts collected in the
Comptroller General’s office, the down
ward tendency oi the people in the
production of everything necessary to
the sustenance of life, and showed
that the productions of the State had
decreased 40 per cent, from what they
were anterior to the war, and that the
production of cotton had diminished
at least, in the same proportion; yet
the population of consumers, during
the same decade, had increased 160,-
000.
The Governor attributed this un
fortunate condition of affairs to the
unreliability of the agents who have,
control, and of the laborers employed
upon the plantations. He said that
Georgia had always been prepared to
meet every emergency in peace and in
war, in reconstruction and in Radical
ism, and that her brave sons still had
the means to redeem all they have lost
by the disasters in which they have
been precipitated in the past, and to
make for themselves a more prosper
ous and a more-glorious future. One
of the means is to enact laws for a
more perfect suppression of thieving.
No matter if a man’s skin be as white
as a lilly or black as Erebus, if he
steals, disfranchise him. The same
justice should be meted out to laborer
and employer.
As the Constitution of the State has
never been ratified by the representa
tive men of the State, a convention
should be called for that purpose,
even though every word of that instru
ment, as it now stand, be acceptable
to the dominant party.
He said we may hold inviolate eve
ry law of the United States, and still
so legislate upon our labor system as
to retain our old plantation system, or,
in lieu of that, establish a baronial
one. He endorsed the Patrons of Hus
bandry, and said, if they do no other
good, their combination would pro
duce a sense of their power which will
be felt in our State and national legis
lative halls. He greatly sympathized
with the tillers of the soil, and said
they had a right to demand from the
Legislature whatever appropriation
they need, as it is their own money.
These are only a few of the points
made by the Governor. His speech
will be printed and placed in the hands
of the people for the information it
contains.
Dr. Tichenor, of the Alabama State
College, made a very brilliant speech,
mainly in favor of educating boys to
be farmers.
Ten counties have entered for the
county premium at the State Fair.
At night a grand banquet was given
by the people of Athens to the mem
bers of the Convention. The banquet
came off in the college building, and
was a grand compliment to the hospi
tality of the Athens people.
Yesterday morning, by invitation of
Dr. Pendleton, the Convention visited
the experimental gardens of the agri
cultural department of the State Uni
versity.
The next semi-annual Convention
will be held in Columbus, on the 22d
of February.—Macon Telegraph Mes
senger 15th.
The Crops.—The cotton prospect
continues to improve, notwithstanding
late continuous rains, have in some
instances, where the plow and hoe
have ceased operations, produced a
second growth of grass which is doing
much damage. In the grassy fields we
notice the cotton is still small, and
should it receive no fuither cultiva
tion, we do not think it will produce
more than one third as much as the
same fields produced last year.
Budding or topping the cotton is
being resorted to by a number of plan
ters, as a preventive of caterpillar,
and, we are informed, with success.
The caterpillar fly, it is said, depos
its its eggs in the tender bud, and by
the removal of this bud aud taking it
from the field, and destroying it, the
prevention is most effective.
The corn crop is pretty generally
made, and the fodder, which has not
already been pulled, fully matured;
but a great deal of this crop has been
cut up and ruined by late bail storms,
which have been very numerous; the
recent rains, too, have been very dam
aging to it.
Sugar-cane, potatoes, and field-peas
are exceedingly promising throughout
this entire section of the State.—Alba
ny Central City.
Shocking Death of an Albany
Merchant.—Mr. James Morgan, a
well known lumber merchant in Alba
ny, hearing a loud noise iD his barn a
few nights ago, dressed himself, and
taking a kerosene lamp in his hand
went out to learn the cause. He re
mained so long that his wife became
alarmed, and going out herself to see
what detained him, found the horses
trampling him under their feet and the
horses and stables in flames. It is
presumed that when he reached the
barn one of the horses must have
knocked the lamp out of his hand and
set the place on fire. After the fire
had been extinguished, the body of Mr.
Morgan, burned to a crisp, was recov
ejred.
HO.THAI»K AT GORDON.
■TI«J«r Cknrlra Kelly Killed by Kin Han
den.
The Telegraph & Messenger of
Sunday contains the following :
A difficulty occurred at Gordon, at
5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, which
resulted in the killing of Major Charles
Kelly by Silas Sanders. From passen
gers who came in on the Central train
last night we are able to get a few
particulars of the difficulty.
It seems that Kelly and Sanders
served in the same regiment during
the war—Kelly as major. Some
trouble occurred then between the two
men which has been a source of auger
between them ever since. Yesterday
afternoon, both parties being some
what under the influence of liquor,
the old trouble was renewed, and high
words followed in the course of which
Kelly called Sanders a d—d scoun
drel, or words to that effect; whereup
on Sanders struck Kelly. The latter
then drew a pistol and fired at San
ders, and Sanders drew one also and
fired at Kelly. Several shots were ex
changed until finally Kelly fell, mor
tally wounded, and expired in a very
short while. Sanders made his escape
and bad not been arrested when the
train left Gordon for Macon.
Both of these men have been re
garded as good citizens of Gordon.
Kelly was a son-in-law of Mr. Solo
mon, who keeps the hotel at that
place. He was major of the 42d Geor
gia regiment during the war, and had
an eye shot out in battle. Sanders
was a private soldier in the same reg
iment.
A Remarkable Fact.—“Wilough-
by,” the well posted and interesting
New York correspondent of the Au
gusta Constitutionalist, writes that
the great Fall river cotton mills have
been stopped for two weeks, and yet
it appears that spinners are buying the
stable much more freely now than be
fore the stoppage. He adds :
There is another rema-kable fact.
The visible supply of cotton in the mark
ets of the world, in store and afloat, is
less than it was one year ago, not
withstanding the increase of nearly
ono million bales in the American
crop, and persisteut reports of “dull
times” in the cotton trade. It seems
probable, therefore, that even should
the coming crop be four and a half
million bales, no material decline in
prices can take place. The World of
this morning has an article on the sub
ject of the capacity of the South to
grow cotton, which takes the ground
that with the present state of labor not
much increases can be expected.
The Thomasville Enterprise of
Wednesday says : #
The Cotton Crop.—The cater
pillars have not put in their appear
ance in numbers as was supposed they
would by this time, but the rust is be
coming general and the rains are so
frequent that great damage to the crop
is inevitable.

FERRY DAVIS’
PA I N--K.I LLE R
H AS been tested in every variety of climate ami
bywlmost every nation known to Americans. It
the constant companion and inestimable friend of the
missionary and the traveler, on the sea or land, and no
one should travel on onr Lakes or Rivers, withont it.
Since the PAIN-KILLER was first introduced, and
met with such extensive sale, many Liniments, Reliefs,
Panaceas, and other Remedies have been offered to
the public, but not one of them has attained the truly
euviable standing of the PAIN KILLER,
WHY IS THIS SO?
It is because DAVIS’PAIN-KILLER is what it
claims to be a Reliever of Paiu.
Its Merit, are Unsurpassed.
If you are suffering from Internal Pain. Twenty to
Thirty Drops in a Little Water will almost instantly
cure you. There is nothing to equal it for
Calie, Cramps, Spnsnta, Heart burn, Diar
rhea, Dysentery, Flax,. Wind in the
Bowels, Soar Stomach, Dyspepsia,
Miek Headache, Ac.
In sections of the conntry where
Fever and Augne
prevails, there is no remedy held in greater esteem.
Persons traveling should keep it by them. A few
drops, in water, will prevent sickness or bowel trou
bles from change ot water.
From foreign countries the calls for PAIN-KILLER
are great. It is found to cure Cholera when all other
remedies fail.
When used externally, as a Liniment, nothing gives
quicker ease in Burns, Luts, Bruises, bprams, Slings
trout insects, and Scalds. It removes the tire, and the
wound heals like ordinary sores. Those suffering with
Uheumatism, Gout, or Neuraligajf not a positive cure,
they find the Pain-Killer gives them relief when no
other remedy will. It gives instant reiief from Achrng
Teeth.
Every House-Keeper shonld keep it at haud, and
apply it on the first attack of any Pain. It will give
satisfactory relief, and save hours of suffering.
Do not tritie with yourselves by testing uotried rem-
dies. Be sure yon call for and get the geuuine PAIN
KILLER, as many worthless nostrums are attempted
to be sold on the great reputation of this valuable med
icine.
