FRESCO PAINTER Oar Ty Ty Budget. Tr Tr, Ga., Sept I9th, 1879. Thero is a considerable amount of sickness through this section at pres ent Major J. A. Owens lost a little son eight years old. He died with typhoid fever. Tho remainder of his family have all been sick. Mr. Dan iel Willis’ family are all sick. Mr. Benjamin Willis, Sr., is in a critical condition. Dr. White has his hands fhll. Beautiful weather for gathering tho fleecy staple, and the planters are ta king advantage of it, and gathering it in with a will, thinking there “might be a storm”—good weather can’t last always. Mr. Jacob Young utilized lost Thursday, which was a charming day for having a “cotton picking”; and Mrs. Young gave em ployment to the ladies at the same time in the shape of a ‘quilting.’ The boys got out a large quantity of cot ton, but the girls dfd better. They “got out” four quilts. After the fa tigues of the day, the young people refresned themselves by a lively hop, which was kept up until chanticleer proclaimed the dawn. Since the horning of the Hillsdale Mills, “The Littlo Magnolia” is spreading itself, turning out during the twenty-four hours from 24,000 to 30,000 feet of good merchantable lum ber. Mr. Graves is proving that “every loss is not a failure,” and is clearly showing what energy can do. Ty Ty is still moving steadily to the front, and tho “sweet, sound” of the mechanics’ tools are greeting the ear continually. Oar merchants have bought this season the largest stocks and best as sortments of goods that ever graced tho shelves of village stores, ana have marked them low down. The trade of the place is increasing fast, and the whole country for miles around have learned long since that Ty Ty is the place for good bargains. J. NOTES FROX ARLINGTON. Arlington, Ga., Sep. 15,1879. Editors Albany Newt: Hen fruit is scarce, chickens scar cer. Cotton is coming in rapidly.— Planters are paying np punctually, and notwithstanding the short crop a general hopefulness pervades all classes of business, and we are prone to believe that it is not as bad as it might have been. don. H. C. Sheffield is now at home on a visit from Atlanta. He Is one of oar most popular officers, and we arc glad to nay has not as yet been considered a subject for investiga tion. We cannot longer hope for Ihecom ing of the top crop, for the caterpil lar has gone through it, and now mourns its departure, and hopes lor the coming of another. Arlington has gained a valuable accession iu the persou of Mrs. Bird. Blakely, an experienced niusii teacher, who will open a school a I once. She should be encouraged bj liberal patronage. The Ardngtou Harmonic Banc- now discourses sweet music ever} evening. Prof. Sain Powell is tin leader, and no doubt under his able management it will arrive at a pro ficiency never reached by any other band. Just so. Our steam mill and gin is now running on full time, anc. we are glad to say has proven a com plete success, and it reflects credit on the originators of tho scheme. We learn that a new industry is abont to spring up in cur town in the shape of a window and sash factory. Also a feather factory. Wo like to encourage enterprise, and will give those who contemplate such an un dertaking all the help in onr power. A prospecting party of newspaper men were m our town last week, in quiring as to the outlook for starting a newspaper at this point. If they can get sufficient support they will commence the publication of a sheet shortly. Since writing the above wc learn that the parties spoken of will arrive to-morrow and go regularly to work. Wc arc glad to welcome' to our town Mr. John Lightfoot, of Cuth- bert. lie is a splendid business young men, and combines also with business the qualities of being quite a ladies’ man. We are sorry to say our esteemed friend, Mr. D. M. Wade, has left us for other shades. Wc miss him ter ribly. We waft him our best wishes and hopc-for his speedy return. Miss R. Hightower left last Wed nesday for Forsyth. We sorrow for her departure, and can only console ourselves with the thought that she will not be from us long. A happy sojourn, and a speedy return.

On the first of last April there was to be a giving up of the convicts by the lessees to the keeper, in order that be might redis tribute them. Ho was, under the act going into effect on the first of April last, to divide the convicts into three camps, one at Dade coal mines, one at Lockett’s farm in Southwest Geor gia ; and the third being the camp or Messrs. Grant & Co., ofGreeue noun- ty. Alter they were thus distributed the lessee could send them where they wished. Under an existing con tract, ihe lessees allowed Mr. Nelms the sum of twelve dollars for every convict delivered to pay expenses.— Under this contract be bad lost money, for ho frequently paid tho railroads more than twelve dollars for carry ing the convicts. But the lessees told him that when the general delivery came ho could make back bis losse-. When the day came, April 1st, Grant had his convicts scattered about. Mr. Nelms claimed tho right to deliver tln-m In Greeno county and cliarjo the twelve dollars per head. A torn promise was finally effected at cigl dollars for each Grant claimed in Mr. Nelms jised his office to force tli payment, that is, refused to deliver the convicts unless he paid it. For this offense he it being Investigated by the house. Gov. Brown and Mr. Lockett say that he did nothing wrong, that he was entitled to the money under his contract Mr. Grant denies it. We will see bow the legis lature views it—Colnmbtis Enquirer. When they reached tho depot, Mr. Mann and his wife gazod in unspeak able disappointment at the recoding train which was just pulling away from the bridge-switch at tho rate of a thousand nines a minute. The flrat impulse waa to run after It hut as the train was out of sight and whis tling tor Sagetown before they could act upon the impulse, they remained in tho carriage and disconsolately turned their liorses's head homeward. “It all comes from having to wait for a woman to get rcudy.” Mr. Mann broke the silence very grimly. “I was ready before you,” replied his wife. “Great heavens I” cried Mr. Mann, with keen impatience, jerking the horses’jaws out of place; “just listen to that. I sat in the buggy ten min utes yelling at you to come along, un til the wholo neighborhood beard me.’ “Yes,” acquiesced Mrs. Mann, with tho provoking placidity which none can assume but a woman, “and every time I started down stairs you sent me back for something you had for gotten.” . . Mr. Mann groaned. “This is too much to bear,” he said, “when every body knows that if I was going to Europe I would rush into the house, put on a' clean shirt, grap up my grip sack and fly, while you would want at least six monts for preliminary preparation, and then dwadle around the whole day of starting until every train had left town.” Well, the npshot of the matter was, that the Manns put off their visit to Aurora until the next weok, and it was agreed that each one should gel himself or hor«eif ready and go down to the train and go; and the one who failed should be left. The day of the match came around in due time, ihe train was going at 10:30, and Mann after attending to his business went home at nine-forty-fivc. “Now, then,” he shouted, “only three quarter of an hour’s time. Fly around; a fair field and no favors you know.” And away they flew. Mr. Mann bulged into this room and flew thro’ that one, and dived into one closet af ter another with inconceivable rapid ity chuckling under his breath all the time to think how cheap Mrs. Mann would feel when he started off alone. He stopped on his way up stairs to pall off his heavy coat to save time. For the tame reason he pulled off his coat, and ran through the dining room and hung it on a corner of the silver-closet. Then he jerked off hi* vest as he rushed through the lmll, and tossed it on a hook in the hat rack, and by the time he had reached his own room he was ready to plunge into his clean clothes, lie pulled out the bureau drawer and began to paw at the things like a Scotch terrier ot ter a rat. “Eleanor,” he shrieked, “where arc my shirts?” “In your bureau drawer,” calmly replied Mrs. Mann, who was stand ing before a glass qu elly and delib erately coaxing a refractory crimp into place. “Well, by thnnder, they aint,” shonted Mr. Maun, a little annoyed. “I’ve emptied everything out of the drawer, and there isn’t a thing iu it I ever saw before.” Mrs. Mann stepped back a few paces, held her head on one side, and after satisfying herself the crimp would do, and would stay where she put it, replied: “These things scattered around on the floor are all mine. Probably you havn’t been looking in your own drawer.” “I don’t see,” testily replied Mr. Mann, “why you didn’t put my things out for me, when you had nothing else to do all the morniDg?” “Because,” said Mrs. Mann, set tling herself into an additional article of raiment with awful deliberation, “nobody put miuo out for me. A fair field and no favors, my dear.” Mr. Mann plunged into his shirt like a mad bull at a red flag. “Foul!” ho shouted, “no buttons on the neck 1” “Because,” said Mrs. Mann, sweet ly, after a deliberate stare at the fidg eting, impatient man, during which she buttoned her dress and put eleven pins where they would do the most good, “because you have got the shirt on wrong sido out.” When Mr. Mann slid out of the shirt he began to sweat. He dropped the shirt three timeB before ho got it on, and while It was over his head he heard the clock strike ten. When his ncad came through he saw Mrs. Mann coaxing the ends nnd bows of her silk neck-tic. “Where is luy shirt studs ?”he cried, Mrs. Mann went out into another room, and presently came back with her gloves and her hat, and saw Mr. Mann emptying all the boxes he conld find in and about the bureau, Then she said: “In the shirt you just pulled off.” Mrs. Mann put on her gloves while he hunted np and down tho room for his cuff button;. “Eleanor,” be snarled at last, believe you know where those cuff buttons aro.” “I havn’t secu them,” said the lady setting her hat; “didn’t you lay them down on the window sill in the sit ting room last night?’’ Mr. Mann remembered and went down stairs on a run. - He stepped on one of his boots, and was immediate ly lauded in the hall at tho foot of the stair with neatness and dispatch attended in the transmission with moro humps than he could count with Webb s adder, nnd landing with a bang like tho Hell Gate explosion. “Are you nearly ready, Algernon ?’ asked the wifo of his family, sweetly, leaning over the banisters. The unhappy roan groaned. “Can’t S ou to row mo down the other boot ?” o asked. Mrs. Mann pityingly kicked it down to him. “My valise?” he inquired, as he “Eleanor I Eleanor 1 Eleanor Mann I Did you tvear off my coat?” She paused and turned, after sig naling the strcet-car to stop, and cried: “You threw it on tho s'lver-closat,” And the strcet-car engulfed her graceful form, and she was seen uo more. But the neighbors say they heard Mr. Mann charging up ana down tho house rushing out of the front door every now and then, shrieking up the aesorted street after the unconscious Mrs. Mann, to know where ills hat was, and where she put the valise key, and if he had any clean socks and under-shirts, and that thero wasn’t a linen collar In the house. And when he went away at last, ho left ihe kitchen door, the side door, nun the frontdoor, nil the down stairs windows, and the front gate wide open; and the loungers around the depot were somewhat amused, just as the train pulled out of sight down In the yards to see a flushed perspiring man with his hat on side ways, his vest buttoned two buttons too high, his cuffs unbottoned and necktie flying, and his gripsack flap ping open and shut like a demented shatter on a March night, and a door key in his hand, dash wildly across the platform and halt in the middle of the track, glaring in dejected, im potent, wrathful mortification at the departing train, and shaking his fist at a pretty woman who was throwing kisses at him from the rear platform of the last car. The “Stricken South” Statue. Cloeinottl Commercial] The statue of the “Stricken South” is from the studio of Howard Krctschmar, a young sculptor of St. Louis, who returned from Rome last year. The statue is a very remarka ble p<cce of work, both In its compo sition and execution. The design is a figure of u woman, around whom a serpent has coiled; she stands with her head thrown' back, and her right arm clasped above il, as if she turned away in an agony of horror from the terrible tragedy of death that is inev itable, while her left hand grasps the head of the serpent, not with the feel ing that she can crush it or avert her tearful doom, but ouly that she can stay its progress tor a moment. She is turning her face away in faint ter ror at the horrors of the fate await ing her. The artist has canght the marvel ous expression of a pause between two breaths—of an instai.t that com prehends the tragedy aud agony of a lifetime. It is a repose of despair.— There is an utter hopelessness depict ed on the face. She feels that all is over except the last parting paqg, and iu an agony she awaits it. There is uo feeling of weakness, bnt of strength that has struggled to the last, and then yields only in dumb anguish. The most touching pathos lies in that of a spectacle of strength ihat has endured to the uttermost, ■ hat has wrestled with despair in the very Valley of the Shadow of Death, and at last, when life has done its worst, fate overcomes, waits still and dumb in an utter hopelessness. This is the story, told on the expression of the face of the “Stricken South,” and it thrills the heart to study it. Every impulse of yearning tenderness is stirred to save her at any cost, how- ever fearful, from the tragedy of her fate. The figure is a little taller than the strict aua.omical proportion would measure, for she had drawn herself up to her utmost height in her terror stricken efforts to escape from her loathsome doom. The statue tells Us own story. It is so unua'urally sad that there is nothing of the sensationally dramat ic about it, and the rare genius of the artist who wrought with such paticut and loving fidelity to his inspiration and sympathy for suffering humani ty, never found a worthier expression than in the statue of the “Stricken South.” Ferreot lint turned skyward. “Thank yo*,Ood!“ aheeuld.

Conyers Weekly.] The Congressman from the First District will be tho present incum bent becauso he is a good man and he people like him. Tete Smith will go back because he is the only man that can carry the Second District over the Radicals. Phil Cock will go back if he wants to because he is about the only man in the Third Dis trict iliat is capablo of filling the po sition. The contest between Persons, Tuggle and Uurri9 (they will all be candidates) in the Fourth District will be close, but Persons will win on account of the work he is doing lor the cleaning out of the Chattahoo chee; not on account of his sense.— Tuggle is the smartest man of the three, and should be elected.

C., who, having married in I8&, lighted a fire on his heartstone as soon as he carried his bride to his new home, and kept it burning ever since. The citizen was in town yesterday, and; being questioned about the matter, stated that the fire was still burning, and that throughout all these thirty-six years it had never been allowed to go out Questioned as to whether or not it made the house uncomfortably hot in torrld'weather, he said the'ex tra heat thus generated was not per ceptible. In reply to'another ques tion, lie sajd that in snmtner weather, when it was necessity for comfort’s sake to keep the' fire burning very low, he had to' get np frequently at night to replenish it slightly, but that he counted this as. nothing when he contemplated the idea of that fire go ing out. He has evidently formed for it a strong attachment and yet one would not take him for a senti mental tnan. Bnt this fire is to him a constant remindor of the day when he firstbroughthomehis bride. Around it bis children have grown up into manhood and womanhood, aud the children have gazed into its light. It was the last light tbat fell upon the eyes of his wife, and he hopes it will be the last that will fall upon his.— Viewed tiros, his sentiment in the matter can be utu'erstood, and so strong is this Sentiment that with the old man it amounts almost to a pas sion.

A Drawback on Bright Hopes.
