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.

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.

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 convention bill. New we menu ad 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 nal" nerve about them. With tho 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.

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.
