CHOP REPORT.
Mr. J. L. Dozier, of Ducker’s sta

ing much damage, and will strip all
cotton in two week* time. Thinks
about % or % of a crop will be made.
Mr. D. says he docs not believe in
poisons. In 72 be spent $500 iu pois
ons for destroying the caterpillar, bnt.
it did not prevent them from rein
ing his crop. The boll worm bas
damaged him some as ha sal so the rust.
Thinks about % of a corn crop has
1>cen made; the pea crop not so good,
hut enue and potatoes are first rate.
The people in his section are some
what discouraged but making the
best, possible out of their unfavorable
circurastauces.
Reports are conflicting as to crops
in CHlhoun. Some report pretty fair
prospect, others say it will be the
poorest yield of cotton, and corn
known in tho county for years; cane
and potatoes good: Great deal of
grain will bo pot in this fall; and
farmers will do everything in their
power to supplement the short corn
crop and to make hog and hominy at
home. m
Health of the county good com
pared to what it was last year.
The cotton fields along the A. & G.
R. R., between this point and. Camil
la, present a deplorable spectaclo.—
Many of them are completely stripped
of leaves, and the bare stalks tell a
pitiful tale. Scarcely any of them
seem to have escaped the ravage* of
the worm. A gentleman In Camilla
told us there was “not a green leaf
of cotton in Mitchell countyand
our observation goes far to confirm
his statement.
From Baker county come most
gloomy reports. Messrs. Fleming,
Davis, Couch, Galloway, Solano and
others state positiuely that not more
than one-third of a crop can be gath
ered, so severe are the ravages of the
caterpillar. Mr. Lark, of that coun
ty, who planted 600 acres in cotton,
offers to take 100 bales for the crop.
From Lee, Worth, Berrien, Colquitt
and Terrell reports are more encour
aging, and Dougherty county is not
so bad.

TUESDAY NIGHTS 1
TAMEST,
Given by the yonng ladie* of the
Episcopal chnrchi WM $ most enjoya
ble and successful affair. It developed
considerable histrionic talent hither
to unknown, end won applause and
favor for the new debutant*. The
tableau, “Gypsy Beene," wa» very
pretty and well pat upon the stage.
The charade, “Masterpiece,” and the
farce, “Slasher and Crasher,” were the
two plays presented, and were given
with good *e«t and orested much
merriment hfr. J. D. Pope as
“George Curtis” in “Masterpioce,”
and as “Sampson Slasher” in the
farce, played the two parts excellent
ly. As Mr. Slasher be was very fun
ny and was a favorite with the audi
ence. Miss E'vie Hilsman as “Miss
Nellie Curtis,” acted with much nat
uralness and exhibited decided talent.
Her recitation of the pathetic and
beautiful poem, '(Searching for the
Slain,” was listened to with profound
attention and elicited loud applause.
Mr. W. B, Willingham represented
most oredltably the part of “Harry
Howell,” the perplexed and tantaliz

the honse convulsed by his portrayal
of “Tilly Jones,” the colored servant
girl, Mr. J. W. Tift, a» old favorite,
and the best amateur “old man” in

praise be can have. * Mr. R. P. Hall

Miss May Catliff, as “Dinah Blow-
hard,” acted her part capitally, and
Miss Sue Dupont sqsfained the char
acter of ‘(Rosa” excellently, especial
ly so, considering the short time the

Letter from Leesburg.
Leesburg, September 6,1879.
The completion of my last letter
left me amid lhe hurry and confusion
of Atlaqta; the beginning of this
finds me in the tranquil quietude of
Leesburg. Like Cindnnatus, I have
descended from the lnxnrions splen
dors of tbe capitol to enjoy the fra
grant odora and peacefol shades of
retirement From Houston, the land
of my childhood’s home, I wrote you
a letter—a letter so full of sad recol
lections, so darkened with the gloom
of the night that bas come over tbe
scenes that were, I tore it in pieces
and cast it away. Tho bright-oyod
girls bad become sober and fUrrowed
matrons or silent dust; the hopes of
youth were mellowed into the cares
and amenities which belong to the
evening of life or exhaled with, the
passing off of the fitful fever of ex

I tarried a few days at MUgnolia
Springs. The snmmerites at that
point have not yet disbanded. Friday
night (29th) there was an assemblage
of “fair women and brave men” at
tbe Masonic Hall to witness an ama

cals were splendid; I shall not de
scribe them. Everybody laughed till
everybody cried; everybody was
satisfied, gratified and beatified. A
yonng lady from yonr city, by uni
versal acclaim, bore off the palm as
star performeress. I like to hang
around those springs. With sneb so

Amusements of every kind, contin

The First Jews in Georgia. .
1 a. W. G." In AtUnU Constitution.] •
It mnst not be imagined that all of
the settlers brought over by Georgia
under the character of trustees were
r nworthy or inefficient. There were
many even of the English settlers
who were taken out of the prisons
that were worthy and devoted men.
An efficient and bravo element that
was introduced into the midst of tbe
panper colony itse’f was a company
of forty Israelites that came over in
1733. The trustees were very much
injured at this Importation and in
dignantly revoked the commission*
of the men who were said to have
been responsible for it They de
clared that the introduction of Jews
would be prejudicial to tho colony,
was contrary to the designs of the
charter, and was an indignity to the
trustees. They sent Oglethorpe ex
press orders to give these Jews no
encouragement. The three men who
had sent these Jews over were Jews
themselves, and declared that none
of the trustees’ money had been used
in the importation, bnt that the Jews
themselves had provided the funds.
At any rate, the Jews settled in Sa
vannah, and became the very best
of citizens. They were industrious,
sympathetic, thrifty, and brave, fa
the Spanish ware they rendered va
liant service; in the revolution they
counseled as patriots and 1 ought aa
lioroes, and their descendants have
been and are among the most honor
ed of Savannah’s sons. The Sheftalls,
the Bussells, the Minuses, the De-
Lyons, and I think the Cohens trace
their lineage back to these first sou
tiers.

Isabella, Ga., Sept 8,1879.
Editors News: This morning as
Mr. Boon was wending his way to tbe
Tift farm he spied what he at first
took to be a man in a pine tree, bnt
on closer observation he found it. to
be a large bird of some kind. Hc
came back, and, with Mr. William
Tanner, set out with gans to cap
ture the bird, bnt it left and they
failed to get a shot at it.. It soon
made its appearance at one w the
neighbors, Mr. George Sumner, and
our efficient Sheriff ever, on duty, at
the second shot of hi* faithful *gun
compelled the magnificent bird to
surrender, after, however, there had
been some show of fight on his part
Tbe bird is either the gray or ball
eagle. He is about two feet high and
measures seven and a half fret from
tip to tip. The head, neck, back and
tail are of snowy whiteness, the
wiugs are of a soft brown, and the
breast gray; bill a bright yellow and
immensely booked. HU most strik
ing parts though U ids enormous
daws. They are the largest I ever
saw. He U on exhibition at Isabella.
Quite a serious and yet amusing
scene took place here on Saturday.
Tbe ladies or thU place all joined in
a cbinquepin hunt, and after securing
as many as they wUhed and were re
turning home they stopped to rest at
tbe graveyard, when after chatting
anff. enjoying themselves for some
time one of the ladies saw a large
and virions ram coming at them at
full speed. There was no time to
lose; be first made at one of the yonng
ladies who eluded him, when he next
came near batting one of the tittlc
boys that was with them; but hi-
mother seeing the danger snatched
up her boy in time to miss the blow.
The ram then turned and rushed at
Mr*. Lippitt. Instantly seeing the
danger of herself and baby ah-
caught it np from its carriage, met

James A. Barksdale, of Yazoo City,

<1. M. Dixon, in that city, has written
a letter to his unde, Hon. Edward
Barksdale, editor of Uie Clarion,

-le says: “Higher considerations

whelmingly justifiable in the kltair
Dixon would have lived, so far as I-
•m concerned, to the end of time. I
aad positive knowledge that he plot-
ed to assassinate uie, and that my
■fe was in constant peri!; but he was
■ot satisfied with abusiug me and
lireateued my life, .te defamed tho
unoceut who are dearer to me than

ing things, and many more which
would justify me in the eyes of any
me who has a particle of manhood
n his nature, will be brought out on

vat fair, open and honorable. He*

Senator Conkting, who was about
to be shot by Mr. Sprague for vio
lating a Divine .law, tiie other day,
made a speech shortly afterwards as
chairman of tbe New York Republi
can Convention, in which he caUed
upon the Nation to thank—not the
Lord—bnt the Republican party for
.the splendid crops of the present
year, whereupon tho New Orleans
Democrat puts some questions to the
Senator:
“If,” it says, “tho Republican party
claims to be responsible for our crops,
we would like Conkling to explain
how oar rice crop was cut short 50
per cent this year, and what party fa
responsible lor the disastrous storm
the other day which damaged oar
cane so much? Has a special ar
rangement been made by which the
crops are to be good in Republican
And poor in Democratic States?
Such, at least, would seem to bn the
meaning of the hero of CanoncheL”
Wouldn’t it be well for the Nation
al Republican party to breathe upon
the caterpillar fields of Sonthwest
Georgia about this time, and tints af
ford relief to the colored brother?
The Governor has signed the Ma
con and Brunswick lease bill, and it
is now a law. He will probably .in a
short time call for bids.

held him firmly until Mrs. Tanner
came to her assistance. There being
no gentleman present, had it not been
for Mrs. LippHt’s presence of mind

A Jacksonville exchange speaks of
a “Good Night Clock” at follows: “A
father on Monroe street has purchas
ed a lover’s alarm clock that works
like a charm. At 10 o’clock it strikes
loudly, two little doors open, and
■nan with a dressing gown and cap
on glides out, holding in hfa hand
card inscribod “good-uight.” As hc
bows and smilingly retires back into
the dock, the yonng man takes the
hint, says “Good night? to the fair
, daughters and departs.”
