ATLANTA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.
Editors Constitution: As the readers or your valua
ble paper may want to keep posted concerning “At
lanta and its surroundings,” it may be or interest to
some to know something of Smyrna, which la one of
the most beautifully located towns in the suburbs of
the Gate City.
Smyrna la just fifteen miles from Atlanta, is in one
of the most beautiful and hea’thy sections on the line
of railroed from Atlanta to Chattanooga, and Is the
only stopping place for passenger bains on the “State
Bond” that has net* dead-fall in the shape of aliquot
shop. The charter (by the act to Incorporate the town
of Smyrna, parsed July 20 th, .1872.) grants power to
the Intendent and Connell to prhVfit the sale of
sptritous liquors, and the worthy officers of the town
iake pleasure in enforcing the ordinance prohibiting
its sale.
The officers of the town for thla year are B. P.
Fleming, Intendent; Geo. L. Daniel!, Giles Eidaon,
A. A. Whltj and George Fambrough, Conncllmen.
Their term of office expires July 1,1871.
Smyrna has one church, Methodist, a good acide
my—the building is thirty-two by forty-four feet, and
of brick. The school is in a very flourishing condi
tion. Prof. Baker, the principal, sad Mr. McClutcby,
assistant, are teachers of acknowledged ability. Prof.
Baker is a Presbyterian minister, a fine scholar and
Christian gentleman.
We have satd that Smyrna has no dead falls, but
Instead there are two lodges of Good Templars and
one Cold Water Temple. Joe Johnston Lodge of
Good Templars was organized a few weeks ago, and
the following officers installed for the present term :
C S Bassford, WOT; Miss Fannie Davenport, W
VT; JamesHBuff,RS; OAHalrston,FS; MissE
J Hale, Tr; Ben. Legg, M; George P Moore, O S; Miss
Minnie Davenport. IG; Rowena J Mobley, A B S;
Miss Jo. Burroughs, DM; Miss Adah Eamshaw, E H
; Miss Almah Ruff. L H S; E D L Mobley. P W C T.
The Order of Good Templars is in a prospering
condition at Smyrna. Young and o'd are interested
snd all earnestly laboring for the Expression of-the
Uq-or traffic.
In noticing the business homes at Smyrna, we find
George Eidson, dealer in family groceries; V R Can
trell A Co, dty goods and groceries; Harden & Son,
dry goods and groceries; ana all doing good business,
judging from the frequent delivery of goods at the
depot, consigned to the different merchants.
Major Z A. Rice has purchased land, and we learn
he will build a resilence at Smyrna. Mrs. Raff, from
Madison, widow of Colonel S. Z. Buff, (who wa
killed on Fort L-ndon, at Knoxville, while command
ing Wofford 1 * Brigade, in defence of the “Lost
Cause. •’) is building a beautiful cottage, ana will, in
a few days, Become a permanent snd valuable c'tizen
of this pleasant little town.
Now, we woald reepeotfal.y suggest that the sons
of oity fathers could be taught in th* schools cf such
country towns as Smyrna, at'less expense and leas

MONEY CULTURE,
Wky tbe Honey Crop Has Failed, all
Overthe Country.
Editors Constitution: x have seen the following
truthful article in several Northern papers. The bee
culture is getting to be a “big thing” in Georgia:
TH* HOBEV CBOr OP KSSTUCKY.
One cf the most striking and observable features
about the honey-bees this year, is their failure to ac
cumulate honey. It ie worthy of note that the com
mon or black bees hivd failed to collect a sufficiency
of honey to feed themselves on during the coming
winter. John Richards, Esq.; who has considerable
experience in handling bees of different kinds, tn-
lormed us that none of his black bees were accumu
lating honey as usual; the Italian bees were doing
better, and would mike honey enough to support
themselves, and have a little to spare. He further
s-.ated, that in conversation with a Mr. Brown, one of
the principal professional bee-men in the State, ha
learned from that gentleman, that in one hundred and
sixty hives owned by him near Paducah, there was not
more than that many pounds of honey in them; ihat
be was prepsring to movS them to Wisconsin, where
the honey-making season in not far advanced. The
complaint, as above spoken of, seems to be genersl
throughout Middle snd Southern Kentucky.—Eliza-
lethtown (Ky.) Ecus.
The failure of the honey crop ie not confined to the
above locality—Georgia, Tennessee. Alabama, the
Middle aud Western Sutes have all to a great extent
experienced the same result. Tbe bee journals
each section have and are still expressing doubts a*
to their being a sufficient supply to carry the swarms
Mfsly through the coming wi at err—Many opinions
have been given for this almost universal untoward
result.
It seems to me it can be accounted for in the long
and continued rainy weather experienced at the tme
when the bees should have been at work. Moss of
that time they were forced to remain in their hives,
and when they could get ont they found hst little
material ont of whici honey conld be made. The
sweets of the flowers, the fruit blossoms, etc, were
-washed away. Mast of the bee* of this section sre
are the black and German bee, and 1 find they have
not done at all well, while the Italian bee has done pas-
sably well. This unfortunate eute of matters through
out the Sbnth is greatly to he regretted, as msny of
ter citizens fox the first time have
embarked In this ordinarily very i aafitable and pleas
ant business. This general failure of remuneration
for their trouble and expense, it ia feared, will tend to
.-.v. mMl y delay their efforts. The wheat crop, in
sections, is siso a failure this year. Yet that
should not and will not keep the agriculturist from
sowing again. Tae demand, in all probability, will
increase the amount raised, as well as its value, and
aid why not so wi*h honey.
Mrs. Joseph Mills of this city, the Mrs. Topper of
Georgia in bee culture, has no extra honey to dispose
of. Htr swarms have failed to make more than
enough to keep them until next spring- And without
thefall season is fsvonhle to their increasing their
supply, it la questionable if we have a long and cold
winter if some of her swarms will not suffer without
they sre fed. While she is. disappointed, she is by
no means discouraged. Years past she hie fonnd the
business sot only very profitable, but'a healthy and
pit saint t mu u meat, snd she w_H continue In it.

A discussion on grape culture and the rot was dis
cussed and participated in by Colonel I. C. Howard,
Moses Cole, J. J. Toon, R. Baugh and others. The
cause of the rot was suggested to be owing to im
proper drainage. Dr. Hspe suggested that heavy
pruning had beeb fonnd to be very efficacious in pre
venting the rot. - - -. - Ifi- v, •

On Friday night last, a negro named Levi 8huford,
well known iu our police circles as a most abandoned
and desperate character, met with his just deserts In
attempting to burglarize the residence occupied by
Judge Trippeof the Supreme Court The facts of
the attempted burglary, as obtained by the police, are
briefly as follows:
Judge Trippe’s residence i« on Wheat st-eet, and on
Friday night, about twelve o’clock, Mr. W. T. Trippe
a young man, son of the judge, was awakened by
hearing some one in the room occupied by the child
ren. The burglar, finding himself discovered, sprang
ont of the window through which he had entered, and
made off. The familj suspected that he would return,
and Ms. Trippe secured his Smith A Wesson pistol
and made preparations to give him a warm reception
Sure enough the scoundrel did return about one
o'clock. He took off his coat and shoes In the yard
and then opened the window fastenings by means of
a loadstone he had in his pocket. The noise aroused
Mr. W. T. Trippe, who waited until-the darkey ha*
climbed up through the window, and taking delibe at
aim at hia head, fired. The burglar sprang down at
the report, and made off before another shot could be
fired.
Officers Holland, White and Langston, of the police
force, who were on duty in that neighborhood, heard
the report and s'arted for the place whence it came.
When they reached Peachtree street they discovered
a negro man minus a hat, coat and shoes, crossing the
street a groa-ing. As soon as they started following
him he began to ran, and was pursued for some dis
tance, when he suddenly dived into a dark alley, SLd
was tost.
SHE CAPTURE.
In the meantime, Ur. Trippe went down town snd
notified Officers O’Shielda, Rapp, and Berry, of the
fact These officers went to Judge Trippe’s house
snd found the coat and shoes where they had been
thrown in the yard. They thns recognized the dar
key, and and went to his house. Upon entering the
house they could find nobody but his wife, although
the strictest search was made.
They noticed* large trunk, and upon attempting to
move it found it ao heavy that their suspicions were
aroused, and they carried the trank into the yard*
and broke if open. Crouched up in the trank they
found their man, nearly dead from suffocation and
bleeding from a wound in the face. An examination
showed that the ball from Mr. Trlppe’s
pistol had entered behind his right jsw and came out
at his mouth, carrying away several teeth. Levi was
at once arretted and taken to the calaboose.
Tbe officers also rescued two trunks filled with
clothing aud p operty waich they think have been
stolen.

the General a President and quietly enjoy
ing the seclusion of his summer resort at
Long Branch. The President reads the
papers, the Herald particularly; and more
t'i&n that, I am well informed, has carefully
read all the articles on Cesarism.
A few evenings before he left the Branch
on his northern tour the articles referred to
were the topic of conversation among those
familiar as his household with two or three
visitors, relatives of the family. During the
conversation the President was a good listen
er, leisurely puffing his cigar, with his Dex
ter leg resting on the left, when the question
was asked what he thought of the discussion.
“Why,” he calmly replied, “it doesn’t in
terest me in the least. It is no business of
mine to manage the politics of the country.
The execution of the duties of the office of
President ate quite as much as one man can
attend to, and a good deal mare than I find
agreeable. It ia pretty well known that I
reluctantly consented to give up my commis
sion as General, even when the success of
the Republican party was assured; but hav
ing accepted the nomination, I was bound to
stand by it. The second nomination was
equally unsought, though I freely told my
friends I thought the party owed me
vindication for having imposed with
the office the aspersions of their po
litical enemies. 1 didn.t bargain for
that, and thought the charges re
flected most justly upon the party for having
made the mistake. I was perfectly satisfied
what the result would be at Philadelphia, as
I was of what would follow in November.
It was none of my business except to accept
or decline a privilege I know some of our
friends would be glad to have. Let me see;
this is August—March to August is five
months, and now the newspapers are anx
ious to know if I am to serve a t&ird term
when the second is hardly begun. The way
Congress has treated all of my recommenda
tions doesn’t make me appear either influen
tial or dangerous. I often think of

announcing your intension to retire to private

To Merchants, Manufacturers, and to Whom
soever tt may Concern :
By authority of the State Grange of Georgia
the following Circular is issued, and to it yoor
special attention respectfully invited:
There is, in the State of Georgia, an asso
ciation of planters styled “ Patrons of Hus
bandry.” By co-operative associations they
seek, through any and all legitimate and
honorable agencies, mutual protection and
mutual benefit They aim not to antogonize
the rights of any class of our fellow-citizens;
nor trill they permit themselves to wage exac
ting and tyrannic ciusade in their own in
terests. mtherto, however, we have com
mitted the management of much of our busi
ness interests toceitainclais^sof our fellow-
men. For this, we deem tbe commission re
ceived to the service rendered. The necessi
ties of the times demand rigid reform alike
in the varied detail of farm life at home and
abroad. O iherwise the gaunt form of bank
ruptcy and dissolution will stalk in every
rural pathway, daguemotyping woe upon
every fireside, and Ichabod be written upon
tbe walls of our once peaceful and prosper
ous homes.
Yon concede to agriculture the position of
pre-eminence, the substructure underlying
every material interest You tell us you seek
The Tobacco Leaf says that the question
of gas or no gas for tbe streets is becoming a
question in the Clarksville municipal elec
tion.
The Ledger claims for Memphis a grand
mother but thirty-seven years old. She was
married at the age of fifteen, and her noble
liege is but ten years ber senior.
The only choleraic item that we find in
Friday’s papers from Knoxville is the fol
lowing: "How is the cholera this morning?”
is the salutatory interrogatory when one ap
pears upon the streets these dayB.”
The Kingston News chronicles the comple
tion of the furnace proper of Oakdale iron
Company, tbe last brick of which was laid
at 5 o’clock on the morning of the 23d
August. From present prospects the time
will not be long—a few short months—until
Oakdale pig iron will be passing Kingston on
its way to market.
Nashville Banner: In consequence of the
'continued presence of cholera, or choleraic
disease, at Knoxville, we have heard it sug
gested in legal^circles that the regular term
of the Supreme Court, for the Eastern Divis
ion, wfil probably not be held on the second
Monday in September, as usual, hat will be
postponed probably to some time next year.
Such, we understand, is the general wish of
the bar of East Tennessee.
