CANDY KliulPEe.
Taffy.—Either kinds of molasses
candy, if poured from the kettle into
tin trays without working, will pro
duce a fine, plain taffy. It may be
left in one sheet, the size of the tray
in which it is poured, or, when slight
ly cooled, may be mark off in squares.
Everton TaWT.— This is a favor
ite English contention. To nuke it,
take three pounds f best brown su
gar, and boil with one-half pint of
water. Then add one-half pound ot
sweet-flavored fresh b..tter, which
will soften the candy. Boil a few
minutes unt l it again hardens, amt
pour it into trays. Flavor with lem
on if desired.
Peanut Candy. —Prepare the men's
by removing the thin reddish skin
in which they are enveloped, ami fill
a tiu tray to the depth of about, an
inch. Pour over them the hot can
dy, made as above directed, stirring
the meats that each one may be cov
ered. A little less candy should bd
used than will suffice to
er the mass ot meats, though each
j seperatc one should be coated, the
object being to use just enough of the
candy to cause the meats to adhere
firmly to each other, thus forming a
i large cake, which when nearly cold
may bo divided into squares or bars
with a sharp knife, Almonds depriv.
ed of their skins, or the meats of any
nuts may be u ed in a similar man
ner.
Walnut Candy.-— The meats ol
hiekorynuts, English walnuts, or
black walnuts may be used according
to preference in that regard. After
removal from the shells in as large
pieces a * pract’.blo, they are to be
placed on the bottoms of tins, pre
viously greased to the depth of about
a half inch. Next boil two pounds of
brown sugar, a half pint of water,
and one gill of good molasses until
a portion of the mass hardens when
cooled. Four th.! hot candy on the
meats mid allow it to remain until
hard. Of coiifso it. is needless to di
rect regarding tho proportion of
meats to tho cand.v, it baing a mat
ter of faste entirely. Molasses alono
may be used to prepare tho candy,
but the use ot sugar gwes a more
satisfactory result.

On yesterday wo received the
parti.Mil irs of the suicid tof a for
mer resident of this county, on ac
count of the profligate, and licen
tious practices of her husband, it
is supposed.
About eight months ago, Miss
Sarah Smith, of Marion county,
married a man of Tay! >r coun-
name of Sheppard.
she discovered
that he had a living wife, an ) live 1
in a most infamous manner. On
Sunday las" she ro3oive:l to termi
nate her troubles by soil-destruc
tion.
Late Sunday night when all wore
asleep, she arose irotn her bol i
a id, taking down a ride in the
house, shot herself, the ball enter
ing just below tho right ear and
passing out at about the same post
tion below the left ear.
Sue had not e\| ired when nur
infi r uant heard from there, but
she was dying.
The inhuman fiend, from whose
dishonor an I heathe i ism, she
sought relearn by death, is, sup
pose, still disgracing the neighbor
hood with his presence. It is sure
ly a nice (?) neighborhood that will
permit such a monster to live in
it!
yls the lutsband-avas the only oc
cupant of the room when the deed
was done, it is not unreasonable lo
suppose that he fired the rifle him
self. A man guilty of the crimes
alleged against him would not hes
itate to ad i that of murde.
The Acts of our Stepreseistativc.
Hon. nowell T. Hollis has introdu
c'd three bills in the House, s.nec
die opening of the session—two o 1
them very important, which meet the
approval of an overwhelming majori
ty of our good citizen- 1 .
The fir t was a bill to abolish the
Marion County Court.
2nd. A bill to regulate the sala of
whisky in said county.
Brd. A bi'i to allow Mary Collins
to get married.
The latier bill ought not lo have
been introduced. It is of no impor
tance to ihe State, mil is a question
over which it ha*, no control. Mary
Collins is not - ivorced from h<-r first
husband and cut not get a legal ili
v..>rc . It is .untli'.-funa'.: to - Maty,
yet her an-ea- -h ml 1 be made to the
Superior Coart and not to the State
ot Georgia. Yve recommend that the
bill do not pass, and that no other
unimportant local or private bills be
introduced.

We are under a iditional obliga
tions to Col. John Screven, of tee
Atlantic & Gu'f Raiiroad, tor an un~.
solicited complimentary pass over the
road Tor the present year. In view
of the recent selfish action of the
Wadley monopoly, we had resolved
not to return any passes for renew
al, Lot caring to be a burden to the
railroad corporations. The action of
Col. Screven and the stock holders of
h's road, iu continuing to issue passes
to editors, afer the Georgia nud Cen
tial railroads hare declined to do so,
show that they do not consider the
i Toss a burden but a needful auxilia
ry-
‘A frien 1 in need is a friend indeed.’
Such a friend is Dr. Bulls Cough Sy
i up, winch shou’dbe in every family;
it only costs 25 cents a bottle and
may save many a doctor bill.

Dear Brethren :
In [vrosenting you with first round
of Quarterly Meetings, permit mo to
say that your presence always glad
dens our hearts and strengthens our
hands. In seeking to do pood our
strongest emphasis is in tin* n and of
the Holy Spirit; next to this we place
your presence and prayers.
The late Conference made some
changes in your charges that mtiy
surprise many, and not give universal
satisfaction.
We thought we were acting aihis
eJ.l\ ii is characteristic of mu' sys
tem to “prove all things, hold last
that which is good,’’ and lo modify
or eliminate nil that is found to bb
a failure. Let us as luiuiaicrs,
churches and members improve, and
occupy this year of grace, 1877. Our
personal and family religion should
be prayerfully revised, nnd our ptay
er-mceings and Sunday-schools
should fill our hands and fiords ami
hearts. Tho momentary interest*, I
turn over to the Financial Boat 4,
merely, yet strongly, recommend that
each church resolve to pay one half
or two -thirds of its assessment at the
first tuid secondly Quarterly Meetings.
This can be done. It will prevent
any embarrassment. It is beautiful
—scrip: ural—safe. Suppose wo toy
it. What say the stewards ? Le l
us heir from the churches.
Yours Very Truly,
