Mn. Eiutoii: Obodii lit to your re
quest, wo 'dot" you a few lines from
Antioch neighborhood:
Farming operations generally, are
farther advanced thim usual at this
Benson of the year, and farmers ui -
dor hotter rupuir. Owing to tho win
ter freezes and tint ouergetio speeding
of the plow, our lands are in a good
condition fora crop—loose and liable.
But. few have pl otted eorn; farmers
thinking the lands to cold. Wheat.

stand ami look very 'veil. Not im'cli
Guano UBOil—oattso, too high price,
Our day school, ttndur .lie super
vision of that accomplished scholar.
Mr, J. E. Hon seal, is progressing fine
ly. Our community consider them-
BelveB exceedingly fortunate in semir
ing the services of so excellent a
teacher.
Our Sunday soltool still flourishes.
Notwithstanding the severity of the
past winter weather, our school has
mot regularly. To give yoiu readers
an idea of tbo interest manifested, we
would state that the school met ouo
Sunday morning with quite a largo
attendance when tbo snow wiir from
four to six inches deep, some of the
scholars actually walking two and
tbreo miles through the snow.
Our community deeply sympathise
with one of our citizens, Mr. J. F.
Kimbrol, whose wife, nil estimable
lady died last week, leaving a husband
and four little children, one ait inf ml
to mourn her loss. May “He who
tempers tbo wind to thn shorn lambs,"
console and comfort tho bereaved hus
band, and guide, guard and proteat
the Utile ones.
The “Boys” organized a debating
iug society last Saturday night. Now
if any of your Cudurtowu Oiceroes
think they can run rough-shod over
oouutry boys in debate let them come
out aud try tbo Antioch boys.
“The only hue Grunge” in the eonu-
ty ns ouo of your eurrespoudents
“ loug-time-ago" denominated t It e
Grange organization in this settle
ment, still liveth brenthelh and Until
an existence. You may be assured,
that should it die, (which wo Jo not
believe,) it will die hard, with its face
to the fee.
From the best information we have

with elections! We ure suileo d
with candidates and politicians, ai d
want a littlo rest. Besides wo hu\ o
been so often deceived by specious
promisee which arc hardly ever fulfill
ed, thnt we have lost confidence in
office-seekers, office-holders in partic-
I ulur and maukiud in general, Our
people seem to fear that should l bo
convention inset, it will tske especial
pains'to stay In session long enough
to exhaust the $2 7,000 appropriation,
and do ns our legislature so long
have been doing—absolutely nothing,
for the interest of the people, tax
payers, or laboring men. A man es
pecially a candidate, would be in dan
ger to come through hero now and
hollow "retrenchment and reform,”
At any rate if any one contemplates
doing such a tiling hu had hotter have
tho caudle extremity insured before
coming. So if any of the convention
I candidates do come down this way
I they had better lie low on lids "re
form business. It is understood that
Gov. Coulquitt did not favor bolding
n convention at llie time. If no why
di.m’t lie have tliu manliness and in
dependence to to say so aud veto tee

mirer of Gov. Colquitt, but wo dis
like to sec n bigli public functionary
truckling through deference, (we
don't like the word deference,) to the
wishes of uuy man or sot of men.
Would that our public men had more
of tho “Old Hickory" "By tho Eter

ligliln before us, we Hindi bo very apt
to vote No Convention*
Kcpnit of Klnnnce Committee
to Town Council.
To llie Honorable Major anil Council
man of Cedarlown:
Your committee appointed to ezntn-
ino into tho finances of Cudartewii
council for the years 1874-75-7(1, re
spectfully submit the following re
port:
After a close and diligent oxami na
tion uf Hie Treasurer's books of 1875
and '70, we lied tlmt lie has received
for tbo two yours $2,180 70, to which
he shows vouchers -to that amount,
paid out. The tax books from 1870
to tho present year, are uiiHoLthal.
many of the claims are worthless, as
t he parties tlmt the claims ere against
say they have paid them up and fail
ed l<> get their receipts from the mar
shal, and that they wore cnali ud on
claims they held against tho town
council. \Vp wopld recommend that
Hie council publish that hereafter, any
person paying their taxes and failing
to take their receipt from the marah il
will not be exempt from paying them
over. Unless some such plan bu
edopted there is no accufato way to
soltlo up the uinrslud's books. The
tax of 1875 were nearly settled up.
Less unpaid tax receipts on them limn
any books previous there only remain
ing $11 75 unpaid. Tho books of
187(1 shows a balauoo of sotuu throe
hundred dollars still to be Collected
which wu would adviso that tho mar
shal bo iustrtlulcd to take such ac
tion iih will cause the defaulters to
settle fotthwith. This wo doom but
just and right to those of our citizens
that have paid their taxes. If this
amount was collected and paid out
to claimants it would pay tho town
out of debt and stop tbo interest.
With your instructions tho com
mittee His settled off the claims of
Wm. Phillips & Co., to date by giving
him su order on tho Treasurer for
$13 44 this claim has been running
from 1872 to dale; for lumber used in
and around tho town.

We lmvu Bottled off the judgement

without paying out, or drawing on
tho Treasurer for money.
In the uoitleinent with A. Hunting-
ton we found u balance of $29 80 due
him, which we gave order on the
trcdHurer for, and was Bottled off, and

On these cIuiuih we have drawn on

has been cashed. With paying the
marshal #25, his salary for that month
leaves a balance of twelve dollars on

should tliiu example be followed up
by the officers in state, county and

tlmt oppressive debts which is now
so grinding to the t ix payors of the
state. In cloMtig our repoi t we beg
leave to call your attention to tho sum
of $10 in bauds of ex-mayor Reese,
which was donated by Messrs Mon
roe, Wilkes aud others as a fund to
improve.the grave yard. This fund
should be collected iitul appropriated

My mother was going to liaptiz-t in !
the crock. Sbo was a good uud Chris-1
tiun woman, when she was sick about j
a wetk and died in the year 1814 ;
She left her six children and iiscetnli.il I
into heaven. She was happy forever.
I was about thirteen years old when l
lost her. 1 wanted to go with my
friend to the creek ami waded in the
creek then 1 and he climbed up the
field down into the corn field of my
father, to see an angel sat upon a
large dead popular trdp, about three
hundred yards from us.at two o'clock,
on the Tarepiu creek oh the evening
of July iu tho year 184(5, at Palestine,
Ala. I knew my mother, I toid him
that she was my mothet 1 . She asked
me if her family was well. Yes I s od
her family was well. I and he were
glad to run after her. Sue saw me
aud him ruuuing after her. Site
thanked to me. She was ascended
into heaven. I was very wondered
that she wore a very bright, white
snowy dress, than she wore the old
common plain frocks, I believed that
she was iu heaven forever. I hope
that her good family, relations and
frionds Would see her in heaven, i
don't forget it strong, from 181(5 lo
1877. Very Respectfully

Tricks on a Tragedian.
John McCulloch was once ploying
the part of the Prince of Morocco iu
the “Merchant of Venice” at the old
Metropolitan Theatre, when the bo)S
put a job on him. You know they
put three caskets ou a tabic, one of
which the prince opens. Home wag
got the casket from tho property muo
and fixed a juok-in-the-box inside, so
that whofi tho lid was opened the
jack would fly up. John walked up
bent over tho box uud turned the key #
when up flew one of those elongated
jacks with a red wooden bead aud hit
John ou the nose. You never huw
such an astonished man since Bulanins
ass attempted to draw his muster into
a conversational debate, uud of course
the whole effect of the scene wus lost
amid the rour of the uudioucc.
The Latest.—News comes to us

and fastened to the other: thus the
length of the st ps taken by tho wear
