Tribute of Respect to Charles II. hiw.
Ah HurvivinK moiuberH of tlio LuGmiigo Light
(i nurds wo doHire to offer nn humble tribute to
tlio memory of our comrade.
II in native county was Liberty, but in January,
1801, bis mother moved to LaGratigo.—
Iio entered the army with the Light Guards in
April, 1801, at 18 years of ago, and Hervod dur
ing tlio entire war. lie loved the cause he had
enlisted to defend and made not only a faithful
but a cheerful and gallaut soldier. He won by
IiIh chivalrous conduct on many battlefields the
rank of Lieutenant and at the cIoho of' the war
was on tho staff of Gen. Phil Cook, who enter
tained for him a strong friendship to tho day of
his death. At tho oloso of tho war ho returned
to Columbus and entered into business there,
but recently engaged in farmiug in Liborty
county and while in splendid health was sud
denly striokeu down with congestive fever and
died on Oct. 14th, 1877, near tho old homestead
of his family, at 35 years of age.
Charlie was not only asoldiorof tho lost cause,
but a soklior of tho Cross. Ho joined tho Bap
tist church in 1858 and we bear testimony to tho
integrity of his Christian character during tho
trying scenes of tho war.
Ho was romarkably social, kind in hisfoolings
to every one, generous to a fault, unselfish and
over roady to servo a friend in need, and his
bright and cheerful countenance was a continual
feast to his associates. Spotless purity and
womanly amiability were his predominating
characteristics and mado him a universal favor
ite.
Our comrade is gone to his reward. Tho
generous friend, tho chivalrous soldier, tho un
ostentatious Christian—how lovely was his
oharaoter 1
We loved him for his many virtues,
wo esteem him for tho rare excellence of
his noble character, and will over cherish his
memory as an ornament of society, a contribu
tor to the happiness of his fellows, and an e
est worker in the elevation of humanity.
We tender our heartfelt condolence to tho be
loved ones who weep and assure them that our
affection for the living is only equaled by the
honor we would pay the virtuous dead.
May we emulate his virtues and again greot
him as a comrade under the Captain of our sal
vation.

Premiums.
MisB Lucy Carpenter, teacher of the ornamen
tal department of the LaGraDge Female College,
took the premium at the State Fair for the best
wax-work. Certainly there is nobody in the
State whose work in this line can excel hers.
Mr. J. R. Cook took the premium on his“Bun-
combe apples.” They were far ahead of any
thing exhibited at the Fair. We have heard it
said by competent judges, that these apples
would take the premium at auy fair in the United
States. Gen. LeDuc, the Commissioner of Ag
riculture of the United States was struck with
those Mr. Cook sent to the Fair.
Prices Lower Than Ever.—A bran new

The exposition liexi Wednesday can very easi
ly bo made a success. Nothing grand is aimed
at; but it is simply intended to be a voluntary
exhibition oi the resources ol the people—a sort
of spontaneous out-pouring, as it were, ol w hat-
over is meritorious in Troup aud the adjoining
counties. There will be no expense aud only
little trouble, iu exhibiting articles, and every
man m Troup county ought to be willing to take
that little trouble for the sake ot having a suc
cessful exhibition. ]
If you have a fine hog, bring it. If you have
a fine horse, or cow, or sheep, or mule, bring i".
II you have fine poultry bring it. It you haw
fine specimens of cotton, or corn, or wheat,or of
any field crop or garden cr p, or fruit, bring it.
If you have a fine specimen of painting, or wax-
work, or needle-work, or anything else in tho
ornamental line, bring it along. If you have any
line preserves, or pickles, or jelly, or sauces, or
bread, or cuke, or butter, or anything that per-
tuius to the housewife’s province, bring it uud
let it be seen.
Articles cuu bo deposited in the building on
Tuesday afternoon, and they will bo caved for!
or they can bo entered on Wednesday morning,i*
preferrt d. We hope that no one will feel indif
ferent about the success ot the exhibition, 'lhis
is iu tended to be but a prelude to next year’s fair;
and if the people will show the proper interest
next Wednesday, it will iusure the biggest and
b- Ht Fair next year that has ever been held iu
Western Georgia.
Some are inquiring why it is that no premi
ums will be offered, Ac. The reason is that the
executive committee had no funds but the sub
scriptions, and these they have laid out in the
purchase and improvement of the grounds. The
Constitution positively forbids the Association’s
going m debt, and hence tho Committee could
not make any ventures. This provision of the
Constitution is a wise one, aud will greatly aid
tho success of the enterprise.
Court Doings.
Last Saturday, Thomas Argo, white, and
Philip Russell, colored, were tried bolero Jus
tice Toole for cattle stealing, and bound over iu
the sum of $150 each, to await trial before the
Superior Court. The immediate cause of their
arrest was the stealing of an Alderney calf from
Mr. W. C. Gholson on last Thursday night.
Russell employed Judge Turner to defend
him, whom he told that he “didn’t know noti.-
iu’ ’bout dat cow. Mr. Argo he had do cow,
aud he said he’d gimme de head au’ de huffs aud
de haslets, ef I’d kill it fur him; aud I tol’ him
I’d do it, and dat’s all I know about it.” Judge
Turner was making up tho case when he learned
that Russell had confessed to Mr. Gholson aud
Marshal Ware that he had stolen the auimal, and
he abandoned the case. On tho trial, Russell
stated that Argo agreed to buy all the cattle he
would bring; that Argo advised him to wear
shoes without heels or toes; aud that he must
have a hog Saturday morning. Ho said he in
tended to get the cattle from Mr. Gholson and
Dr. Cary, because, they had more than other
people about here. Argo’s statements contra
dicted themselves. Neither one has yet been
able to give bond, and hence both are iu jail.
Ou Monday, Henry Pergcrsou, colored, was
tried for assault and battery ou Jim Thornton,
likewise colored. Henry’s hogs got into Jim’s
“later-patcli,” aud Jim says he “went dar to
run ’em out wid one dese ratan dogs.” Henry
bouuced Jim; Jim’s daughters rushed to the
rescue; the scene, for a few miuutes, resembled
Donnybrook Fair; and Henry paid ten dollars
aud costs for the frolio.

composing the district. Troup has the privilege
ol presenting the candidates for the convention
to select from. From having conversed consid

E. D. Pitman, and wo sincerely trust the Doctor

and that ho will lie selected as the man for the
