Troup County Bible Society.
This society held its anniversary meeting at
the Baptist Church last Sunday night. After it
won called to order !by President Tuggle, ltev.
G. G. Smith opened the meeting with devotion
al exercises. The miuutes of the past year were
read by the secretary, and the treasurer’s state
ment showed about $50 and a small amount of
bpoksonhaud. Thoughtful and appropriate
* addresses we-e made by Messrs. J. F. Awtrey
and T. S. Bradfield. A collection amounting to
over $35 was taken up, which the new mana
gers, to be elected, were requested to appropri-
• ate with tbe funds in hand, to supplying the
destitute in this county with bibles.
The officers elected for the ensuing year are :
President, W. O. Tuggle; Vioe-President, J.
T. Johuson; Secretary, John E. Toole; Treasu
rer and Depositary, J. M. Beall; Direotors: T.
S. Bradfield, J. F. Awtrey, B. H. Bigham, Dr.
G. B. Heard, J. T. Waterman and the pastors
of the churches.
More interest than heretofore in the bible
work was inspired by this moetiug, and under

Troup superior Court*
At tho oloau of our last report, the Common
Law docket had been temporarily disponed of.
The Equity docket was next takqu up. N.
A. Hardee, Bon & Co., vh. \Vm. T. Godwin,
John Hogg aud Eualid Waterhouse. Bill to set
aside sale of 710 acres of land in Harris county,
under a fl-l'u. issued from this court in favor of
Waterhouse vs. Godwin, and bought by Hogg
for $420. The bill charged furthet that tho sale
was fraudulent ou the ground that Godwin was
to pay tho money back to Hogg, whom he owed
in another transaction, and to have tho land re-
oonveyed to Godwin’s family; and further that
there was fraudulent collusion betweou defend
ants to defeat the deed made by Godwin to com
plainants to secure a debt duo by him to them.
Tito jury returned a verdict for complainants,
soitiug aside the sale. It is propur to add that de
fendants answered tho bill denying tho main
charges in it. Tuggle & Cox for complaiuauts,
B. H. Bigham for John Hogg, C. W. Mabry for
W. T. Godwin.
There wero other cases called on this docket
and passed for the present, or continued for the
terra. On Friday afternoon tho Traverse Jurors
word discharged, aud tho court announced that
tho next morning would be takeu up in hearing
m ffions whore no issues have boon mado.
Milner Martin vs. W. L. Allord was taken up
and argued to the hour of adjournment.
On Monday lust tho court met aud organized
tho Traverse Jurors aud proceeded with tho
Criminal docket.
Tho State vs. Sam Thomas, alias Shem Thom
as, colored, charged with larceny from the House
—thut is, euteriug the dwelling house ol Wiley
W. Arnold, near Long Cano, in this county, and
stealing thorelrom *1 gold watch and Wearing ap
parel of the va ue ol $200. Tho deiendaut lmd
no counsel aud Messrs. Mallard & Strong were
assigned tor that purpose. Verdict, guilty.
Solicitor-General S. W. Harris lor the State.
The State vs. Jack Miller, colored, charged
with assault with intent to murder. On arraign
ment detoudaut by advice of his counsel Messrs.
Mallard and Strong pleatl guilty to the offense
of assault. Solicitor General Harris lor tho
Slate.
The State vs. Dock Frost (white) charged
with the murder of Lawrence II. Brannon
(white;.in West Point on the 5th December
1874. It appeared trom tbe coroner’s investiga
tion that tho killing was accidental, aud the par
ties were intimate friends, and neither knew the
pistol was loaded. Two separate grand Juries
had recommended that the bill bo nol-prosed.
The court granted the motion to quash the bill.
B< licitor-General Harris lor the state staled
these facts aud submitted the question to tho
decision of tho court.
Tho State vs. Ph lip Russell, colored, and
Thomas Argo^(whjte) charged with cattle-steal
ing. Russell plead guilty. Thomas Argo was
put ou trial under n plea of not guilty. Ho was
charged with the offense in two counts: first,
that he was the perpetrator ol the crime; sec
ond, that ho procured Philip Russell to commit
the crime. Tho jury found a verdict of guilty
ou the second count, aud recommended him to
tho mercy of the court. This verdict relieved
him of a telouy. He was sentenced to pay a fine
of fitly collars and costs for suit iu ten days or in
default to twelve mouths in the chain-gaug. So
licitor-General Harris and J. E. Toole lor tho
State. F. M. Lougley aud A. II. Cox tor de

The State vs. Reuben Itoyd, colored, ohargt d
with burglary in uinl upon the house of Ben.

who advised defendant to eu er a plea of guilty,
which was done. Solicitor-General lor the Stale.
The State vs. Warren Fauuiu colored, charged
with cattle-stealing—three true bills for ti e
same offense. Defendant was permitted to plead
guilty to one and the others were suspended.
Solicitor-General lor State; Ferrell & Lougley
for deiendaut.
Ou yesterdiy ufteruonu the docket was sus
pended for the week and the prisoners sentenc
ed as follows:
Jack Miller pay a fine of $35 and costs iu ten
days or twelve mouths in ci an -gung. Philip
Russell, two years u the penitentiary. Wurren
Fannin, two years iu the | emtentiury. Reub«n
Boyd, three years in the peuiteutiary. Sum

The divorce case ot M. V. McCutehcn v ,
Caroline McCulcheu, ou the .round ot desm-
t n by the wile ot the husband lor three yea*
was tried by two separate juries aud a total t i-
vorce granted. The last jury in fixing the rela
tive rights ot the parti* s, absolved both from
the marriage tie—thus leaving ihem tree to mar
ry each other, or any one else as they deem
best aud favorable opportunity offers. Toole &
Sou lor Libellant. B. C. Ferrell lor Defen
dant. There being no lurther business before
the court, a recess was taken until Monday
next when it is hoped parties und their counsel
will be ready iu civil casts aud a heavy week’s
work be done.
The Baptists of the Western Association.
A glance at the miuutes of the last Associa
tion, a copy of which has been furnished ns by
Rev. M. B. Hardin,, gives us some interesting
facts.
This Association includes Coweta, Meriweth
er, Troup, Heard, and a part of Campbell aud
Harris comities, lor'y chinches iu all. The to
tal number of members is 3,756. ot which La-
Grange church has 173. The largest church is
R.imuh, iu Campbell county, which has 216
members, and of which Rev. H. C. Hornady is
pastor; tho next largest is Newnan which has
212. During the year past 231 were baptized;
163 were received by letter; 230 dismissed by
letter; 32 excluded; 12 restored, and 28 died.
The churches paid during the year for uiir-
sious, indigent preachers, orphans Ac., $500.35.
The Association has for some years supported
ltev. Pet r Folsom, a missionary to the Choc aw
Indians. Next year it proposes to pay him a
salary of $200, aud the same to another mission-
ary, yet to he employed.
Mercer University_aed the Southern Female
College ol LaGraugu were reouramended as iu
ry way worthy of patronage. A catechism
prepared by Rev. M. J». Hardin was highly
praised aud recommended to be published. The
religious condition of the oh arches generally Was
reported to be good; though there are only
twenty-eight Sabbath-schools reported.
Importation!!.
Eggs from Tennessee are selling in LaGrango
tor twenty-five cents a dozen; and butler from
New York at thirty-five cents a pound; and be
fore Christinas we uxpeot to hob fowls, ready
dressed, brought hero from Tonuossoe aud sold
for a profit. The Touuqhhqo farmers can ufford
to raise eggs mid send them to LaGrango to
sell; but tho Troup county farmers—many of
them, at loust.do not believe they can raise eggs
end sell them in LaGraugo at a profit. The
farmers in New York State make butter, and it
is sold in LaGrango at a profit; but many of tho
farmers of Troup think they cannot pay any
attention to butter-making.
We toll our people uow,as we have told them
repeatedly belore,that ouo groat cause of pover
ty iu Georgia is the neglect of what are mis
called “small industries.” There is a false idea
prevalent among farmers that it is not worth
their while “to fool with little things;” that the
only things of sufficient dignity lor true taimeis
areootlon and grain—and not always the latter.
They think they are so busy with their “large
crops” that they cannot pay atteutiou to small,
matters.
There is no farmer who cannot attend to a
few cows, and it ho will feed his cows right and
attend to them properly in other respects, lie
can make more clear profit on them than on any
other property li»* owns, if, however, ho feeds
them principally ou collon-seed, lets them
browse about fin ds ol dead B< ruiuda grass,
leaves them ex; used to the storms of winter,
wiih no sh- Iter « xoept wlmt they get by crouch
ing behind « lence, he need not expect them 10
puv in 11 any hi mm. A line, tat, sleek flow is a
rani ; p air, cadaverous scrubs are alraudaut.
Bui somebody will say, w« cauuot tiud a mur-
k ft in LaGraugo tor our buCer, it wo make it.
True, LaGtauge is very easily supplied; but La-
Grange is not the only place in the world. At
lanta, Augusta, Savannah, Macou, Columbus
and Montgomery will furnish you a market for
it. if you will mako enough butter to ship aud
of good enough quality, there, will always be a
demand lor it. And so ol eggs, fruit and many
other things which our people negleoi. When
will they learn to be thrifty iu these so-called
small matters ?
Dr. Gust tve Natter.
This community has been especially favored
this week iu having two concerts given by the
distinguished musician whose name heads this
paragraph. The audience on both occasions,
we regret to say, was small, uud thoso who
could uo aud did not may rest assured that they
lost the only opportunity, perhaps, that they
will ever have, to hear a first-class pianist. Dr.
Batter probably has uo superior iu the world,
and ranks with the celebrated Li zb
We wero present at both of his concerts, and
would bo glad to give even a laiut description
of the magical way in which mu-ic seemed to
fly from his finger-ends; but this is impossible.
We had uo idea that piano-playing could be car
ried to such perfection. It was not only far supe
rior to anything we ever heard, but to anything we
had evei imagined. Under the magic touch ot
his fingers, the piano would one moment give
forth sounds so thrilling as to cause in the hearer
an almost irrepressible impulse to shout ap
plause; while the next moment the cadeuces
would bo as soft and soothing as au evening
zopuyr.
Along the dull pathway ol life there occasion
ally arise pleasures, sunlit and flower-crowned,
whose reflection lingers in tho ini d long alter
themselves have passed away. Soit is with Dr.
Sutter’s music. Iu the memory of those who
heard it, it will ever linger,beauti ul as an oasis
in a desert, and prominent as a mountain rihing
from the ceau.
The PLdluariuonio Society, under the direc
tion ot Aliases Cox. played between Dr. Sutter’s
pert'irinuuces.uml Misses Nellie rad Nannie Ball
sang two very sweet hongs. President Cox de
serves tin tlmuicH ol our people for giving us au
opportunity to bear a musician who has played
before courts aud kings iu Europe.

Fire at Houston.
Last night, about seven or eight o’clock the
Masonic Lodge, with the uuoccupied store un
derneath, Edward Lewis’s store, Dr. W. S. Mor
gan’s office and a lurgo wood-shop belonging to
Britton & Evans, at Iioustou, were burned.
Nothiug was saved from tho Lodge, aud scarce
ly anything from the other buildings. Tbe fire
began in the roof or ceiling of the Lodgn, and
must have beeu caused by rats gnawing
matches. We could not leuru any further par
ticulars.

Dickens’ liiltie Folks.
Nolhing has giveu the writings of Charles
Dickens so strong a hold upon the hearts of
parents as tho well-known excellence ot his por
trayal of children and their interest. These de
lineations having received the approval of read
ers of mature age, it seemed a worthy effort to
make the young also participants in the enjoy
ment ot these classic fictions. Wiih this view,
the different child characters have beeu detuobed
from the large niuds : of inftitor with which they
were originally connec ed, and presented in the
author’s own language, to a new class of read
ers, to whom the little volumes will, we doubt
not, be as attractive as tho lurger originals have
so long proven to the general public.
A series of twelve volumes has been prepared,
presenting, among others, the following charao-
ers: “Little Paul,” from Doinbey & Sou;
“Srnike,” from Nicholas Niokleby; “Little Noll,’
from The Old Curiosity Shop; “Tho- Child
Wife,” from David Copperfield, &o., &o. Anew
edition of the first volume ©t Jiffs series, “Little
Paul,” from Doinbey &S >u,has just beeu issued,
illustrated by Dailey, aud attractively bound.
The volumes will follow at short intervals. For
sale by all booksellers, or sent post-paid for $1.00
by the publisher, John U. Anderson, Hartford,
Uoira.
