CEDARTOWN, GA., JULY 21, 1875.
A Cuvo Spring man lias ft grape
viuo of Ibo Concord varloly boaring
ono hundred and twenty-four houltby
bunches of grapes.
Tho “black death" flconrgo, which
bos recently appeared in tho rivors
Tigris Euphrates, Is th6 sarao which
destroyed million* of live* in Boropo
and Asia during tho foUAlobotll cen
tury.
Too poor to tnko a ucwsppcr.—Tho
Now 1111 veil Register in responsible
for tho following; ' A man in a neigh
boring town, who has about n thous
and dollar* ill tho Townsend Bank,
wan in a storo youtorday, and watch-
ing Jii« opportunity, wbisporod in tho
our of tho dealer, “In tho Townsend
Savings Bank getting a littlo ihnkyV"
Tho merchant turned ou him with a
look of dire Astonishment nnd naked,
•Where have you boon tho lant yoar,
or don't you road tho newspapers?*
Tho man replied that ‘ho didn't feel
able to take ft nowspapon.' ‘Well
said tho merchant, 'you liuvo lost
twice enough in tho Townsend Bank
to bnvo paid for all our daily papers
tho rest of your lifo.’ Tho dopositor
left fooling “A littlo shaky."
Wo bad a coll on Inst Friday morn
ing from Maj. C. (1. Samuel of Homo,
and Capt. B. J. Cuirv nnd W. G. Eng
land of Alabama. They visited our
town for tho purposo of gotting up
stock to the G rangers lifo nnd iloalth
Insuratico Company. They succeed
ed iu getting all tho stock they dcsirod
in this soction. Tho headquarters of
tho company will bo in Mobilo Ala.
with Htato branches in ton southern
States. Tho capital stock is to bo
ono million dollars, each Stato taking
ono hfiudrdd thousand dollars. Homo
took stock to tho amount of $00,000,
and would have taken nil that was al
lowed for tho slate, had they been
permitted. Tho object of tho compa
ny is to get tho sleek distributed
among tho farmers all ovor tho coun
try, and uot idlow it to bo monopoliz-
by capitalists. Only twenty-five shares
of ono bundled dollars ouch can bo
ftukuit by any ono person, and only
ton por cent will bo called for, bal-
Innco to bo paid by dividonds. This
is tho best opportunity to muko inonoy
with a small investment, wo over
know.
Tho accumulations of tho company
will bo loaned out all ovor tho coun
try at tho legal rate, sovon per cent,
interest, on long time, thus enabling
cur farmers and olliors to borrow at
a low rato of intorost nnd liuvo their
own iitno to pay tho money back. Al
together, wo think it tho best thing
that has ovor boon gotten up for the
funner and othors who liuvo a small
amount of inonoy to iuvost, or who
are forood to borrow at bighor ratos
of interest than they can afford to pay.
Wo coppy tho following article from
Montgomery Advitisor and Mail iu
relation to Ibis enterprise.
Tho Grangers' Lifo aud Health In
surance company is working vigorous
ly and rapidly securing business aud
popularity. Tho Homo oflloa iH loeu-
tod at Mobil i, with first class business
inou in control. Tho Gouoral Super
intondout of Agoncics, Mr W. G. En
gland, is ono of tho beat posted insur
ance men in thu United States aud is
actively orgauiaing a corps of agents
in tho sovoral Slates is now traveling
in its iutorebt. Mr. H. J. Curry, of
Uuutsvillo is the special General
Agent.
Tho Alabama Department as our
renders kuow has headquarters boro
with Hon. N. N. Clements, Prcaidont
and lion. David Cloplon Vico Presi
dent. W. L. Chambers, Esq., a thor
ough business mar, intelligent and
strictly correct iu all his dealings, has
bet'll elected secretary of this depart-
tnout. He is tho right man iu tho
right place.
A Department has been organized
iu Mississippi, with headquarters at
Moridiun. Col. Jos. W. Beck, a prom
inent insurance man has boon elected
President; John II. Gary, a loading
merchant Vico-Proeidout aud L. Duu-
enu, Secretary. Tho selections nro
nil good and tho interests of tho Com
pany will bo greatly enlarged through
their |>opula»ity aud well known char
acter fdr sogocily and integrity.
Mr. Kuglnud and Mr. Carry dro
now iu Georgia, aud havu mot with
bo much success that it is safe to say
that a Department will bo organised
in Hint State at a very early date.
This company has l-oen iuuxUtunoo
about seven months, uud U has met
with a most gratifying success. In
deed, considering tho hard times and
tho depression, it iu doubtful if any
company has more cause to bo proud
of tho list of policy holders gained in
used in tho South. A* far as it is
posublo to do so, our pooplo should
patronize Southern companies, be
cause nearly all Northern companies
at llift veay tightest times incrcrscd
their rales cr withdrew their agencies
altogether.

UV ONE Ol' THE FJUST BETTLEJW.
Iu tho early part of tho year 1834
was tho most gloomy tiino with tho
pooplo of Cedar vttlloy, Tho tiino hod
expired for tho Chorokoo ludians Co
leave the country, and they had failed
or refused to go. Iu tho change, or
olection of their chief, tlioy had got a
new hearing before Congress, as to
their treaty with tbo government, and
it was uncertain as to when they
would leavo, and tho Pony Club
claimed to rule tho country with an
iron rod iu all elections, and tho fu
ture was truly gloomy, nnd a great
many good citizens moved back to tho
old counties.
About this tiino Ata Prior brought
out somo negroes and located ucur
the big spring, and soon commenced
building cabbins and houses, nnd also
the saw and grist mill that Opport
now owns. Asa Prior was a man pe
culiar to himself, but iu tho main a
good, honest man. llo attended
strictly in person to his own business,
aud toiled from early iu tho morning
until lulo at night. Never particular
as to tho adornment of his person,
plain clothihg in common with his
workmen was his custom. Ho was
gentle and kind iu his intercourse with
all men, but atom enough when his
personal honor required it. Ho was
a man whoso whole soul would sickon
under a senso of persoual dishonor.
Ho was elected to tho legislature in
1838 or 33, aud mado a good, plain,
unnsumiug monitor, llo belonged to
tho old Whig party, uud heartily sup
ported tho principles of his party
while a member of tho house. Ho was
about sixty-five yon is old whon ho left
Polk county for Texas in 1868 or 61,
uud died soon after ho lauded iu Tex-
Ho had, by olouo attention to
business, accumulated a considerable
amount of this world's goods; in fact
ho was called a rich umii before ho loft
tho couufy, but bo bad lived noarly to
man's appointed time, uud beyond
man’s common lot; but when tbo sum-
iuoub came bo breathed forth his gen
tle spirit to God who gnvo it.
Martin Sparks algo camo in About
this tiino with sonio negroes nud lo
cated on the place now owned by Mr.
Buuu. He was a man of considcrublo
moans, and a man possessed of flue
business qualities; had solved as
Sheriff of Morgan couuly a number
of yours, and perhaps lmd boon elected
to tho legislature a term or two. Ho
was a limn of Hue practical senso nnd
lmd fiuo talents for making money
aud holding on to it. Hu also was an
old liuo Whig, aud a good, ordotly
member of the Baptist church. I know
but little uf his peculiarities, as lm
died tho next winter after ho moved
out iu the spring. Hu was hot ween
fifty nnd Hixty coal's old wheu ho died.
His sou Thomas was about grown
wheu bo dial, nud wus tho only heir.
Ho then look possession of ovory thing,
uud icmuiiiud on thu plucu until 18110
Or 18CI, whon ho sold out to Mr. M
II. Blind and went Wost.

Wlioat is being throshed through
this flection, and turns out well. It
avorngoj about twolvo and a half
bushels to tho aero.
Tho oat crop in also good. Tho old
settler* say it is tho host crop of biiiaII
grain thoy havo evor seen.
It is vory dry hero now. I havo
scon somo corn fields ill which tho
foddor was burnt half way up tho
btulk?. Tho fanners nro in great dis

who did not say, “How I wish it
would raid," anil “111 starvo if it don’t
rain insido of ten days;" “my corn is
burnt up," or something of tho like.
Gardens nro literally dried up. No
runuiug water in scarcely auy of the
creeks, uud tho water stands only in
places.
It wss boon rather scarry times
with some until since wlioat and fruit
has come in. It is said that somo] of
tho pooplo “on the other sido of tho
river" livod on nothing but milk, and
if tho old cow failed to corao homo at
night, they went to bed without their
suppers.
Tho Becoud is always full of impor
tant and interesting matter. Iu my
last I noticed Hint Cany Paco “waa
iu possession" of n daughter; thut
some of tho IIocbobworo married; that
Capt. Turner had his lmir cut off, aud
many other things of minor import
ance.
The prairies aro cracking open from
tho dry weather. There aro more lit
tle streaked snakes out bore than you
could “slmko a stick at” if you woro to

These prairies aro literally covered
with various kinds of “Prnirio Flow

Of Lifo Jusnarnco ia gradually nud
deservedly gaining public attention by
tho force of its own merits. Tho time
is not far distant when tho doatb of a
leaving his family unprovided

leave the stain of neglected duty upon
his character. It is a duty which ev
ery one owes to his own dependout*
and to tho community. Ho who neg
lects it is not a good husband, father
>r citizen. He has no right even to
isk tho clmnce of throwing tho futnro
upport of his family, in enso of his
donth, on the community nt large, or
on relatives and friends, when it is iu
his power so easily to provide ugainst
such coutingeuciua.
