Iforncp, the Latin poet, naM lorg
time ngo, that the tiller of the soil,
fur removed from care and strilo,
was a happy man. Perhaps lie
knew and said correctly, nlibough
many Goorgia farmers will declare
bo made a great mistake. Let us
ocept the teachings of the poet
philosopher and our confidence in
their truth, will augment their
truthfulness and add to the happi
ness farmers should derive from cir
cnnistances and pursuit. And, more
over, who can deny to the quiet,
peaceful, industrious planter, the
highest blessedness the world off,-re?
But who behoves that rural life,
amid tuneful wood and sunny field
among herds and flocks, furnishes a
refuge from trying inconveniences,
annoying cares and perplexities, sore
disappoinmicnts and grievous losses?
Did anybody ever see so much
cold weather in one winter? It was
freezing almost every day, but we
never got used to having cold fingers
and aching ears. Have all the farm
ers acquired the self control that
forbids chafing and fretting when
ran interrupts the regular work two
or three times in one week? The
rain is all right -who complains does
•wrong; but he who is not sometimes
disconcerted is an exception. Plans
upset, work unfinished, plowing
stopped, will anything ever be dure?
The good old horse got sick and
died. Poor old lellow, he staggered
about and wandered around the
premises in a pitiful way. Gussie
said she cried when she heard lie
was dead. We all felt sad. Who in
not attached to the faithful horse,
that carried us to church, to town
and to the h >mes of friends? It was
father’s horse. Who doea not feel a
V ouliar cousideraiion for what la
father’s or mother’s? Then, too, the
va’ue of a horse is a great loss for a
fanner to sustain.
The oxen were perhaps overloaded,
and hauling was hindered by the
partial failure of one. Another one
got poisoned and came home falling
about and staggering as if drunk.
JTis ease vras distressing, but relief
soon followed a drench of larJ.
The hogs biing their rhare of
trouble and anxiety. Two sows have
died this week, and the pigs dioD off
occasionally.
The colt’s feet are tore above t! e
hoofs.
The chickens get iu fhe garden,
and Will says (Le mites got on him
when he cropped their wings. The
turkeys roost in the trees and thcro
is great uneasiness, that someone
comes albng and stops them from
roostirig there. Will you have the
triumphs next week? M,

THE HATE.
on Friday night of last week was t h *
heaviest that has fallen here this sea
son. The rniu on the Friday night be.
foie bad swollen tho streams and
done some damage, but tho last rain
was much heavier, nnd ditches and
leaves on the rolling lands were swept
away as verv small obstacles in the
way of the mighty torrent. The
complaint by farmers seems very
gerneral and the destruction to bot
tom lands bus, no doubt, been great.
Mill-dams, bridges and turnpikes,
also, have suffered. The turnpike nt
Hollis* mill is gone, nnd tho bridge is
daringcd. The embankment on the
east side ot the Wright bridge across
tne Kmchafoonee was so damaged as
to make it quite difficult to cross, and
hut a few more gallons of water would
have earned the tarn pike away.
The water pond of Miles' mill (near
Mr. Adison W. Davis) which is some
distance nbove the mill house, and
is utilized by means of a race, was
broken, and the water roundermined
the house tb.it it would have fallen
had it not been propped. Wo have
been informed that Marlin Hollis’
mill, over in Chattahoochee, hLo tel
a victim to tho dcsiructive waves,
which washed the dam away.
Tho farmers that have been more
or less dam .ged are too numerous to
mention, and perhaps other mill
dams, bridges and turn-pikes have
been injured, though we hope not.
DEATH OF MR. JAMES JOS3EY.
The saddest event that ha* recent
ly fallen our duty to chronicle ia the
death of Mr. James M. Jossey, On
Friday of last week he u ale it con
venient, while returning home from a
business trip from the lower part
of Georgia to visit the family of his
Iktiior-in-Uw, Itov. W. B. Merritt,
and also Ins mother, .Mr* Maliohi Jos
sey. Saturday morning while on his
way to Aotericus to lake the train for
ids home in Macon, he was thrown
ontof the buggy, striking his breast
against the wheel. lie experienced
no serious iff' ct nt the time, but as is
generally the case in such instances,
no great discomfit or pain mani
f.-s'ed itsell until some thirty-six or
forty hours after the accident. He
reached home and the next morning
being Sunday was preparing to ac
company his wife to church, when he
was taken wi; It pain in the abdomen.
He went to bed and a doctor called,
but he grew worse and died Monday
night at one o’clock.
Fi is remains were brought to his
mother’s home in this county, aud
buried at Friendship last Wednes
day.
Mr. Jossev wa* a young man of fine
business qualifications, and before

Only about a month ago he was

The above notice has beeu handed
us for publication, and we cheerfully
make room for it in the hopes that

MARION COUNTY'S NEEDS.
Mr, Editor:
Marion com tv needs a railroad
hading from Jiiicnu Vista to some
poiut on otto branch of the Central
railroad oust or w< st. My impress
slon is it would be best to connect ut
Coluuibua, and for many reasons.
Perhaps a connection at tho-Talbot
ton junction would in future provo
wise. Anywhere however, will suit
us- The road is what is needed and
the junction cun look after Itself.
Tim county needs a telegraph or
telephone line. If we have a rail
road it should run with that. II no
••abroad ia id near prospect, it should
run to Columbus. It will not cost so
mm h hh many believe—perhaps not
over $ 1,000 or ♦1,500. It can be run
cheaply in connection with your
printing office and w ould be of great
benefit to tho county.
The county needs a bank—a home
bank. Such an institution would
supply a great want here, rc.l could
tlo a large business nt ranch better
rates than some bunks 1 could
mention.
Wherever tlic above objects center
the conn y should have a school, high
in grade, in aim, anil labors, well
officered, rigidly disciplined, supplied
with modern improvements, a ful
curriculum nnd reasonable tuition.
It should be ninde the pride of the
County, where our children can be
educated at home With these a
bright luturo would open up for Ma
rion coil' ty.
Finally, if the county can not or
will not timid a railroad, then let us
have a telegraph or telephone line
to Columbus, nd every inau woman
and child petition lor too mail line
from Buena Vista to Geneva to be
changed and inn to Columbus. By
all means without a railroad let our
mail line run directly toCoiumbus.
Daily hacks cou rt and would carry
passengers and packages about u
quickly and more cheaply than they
uowr go and come.
I know some of the above points
are on the hont ei, but a calm reflec
tion will show they are the finger
boards to our county’s welfare.
When the com ty shad have exerted
its ability to secure them, and shall
have proved lacking in means, then
outside help in abundance will come
to our relief.
In speaking of Marion county I
mean to lie nuderetood asreftri ing
to the iiulii-d citizenship. In speak
ing ol needs being supplied, [ mean
liiey sh 'Uhl be largely supplied by
our citizens themselves. Our p-ople
lack co-operation and unity. With
out these nothing can be accom
plished, With these nothing will
prevent success. Self dependence
also nas much to do with success.
If our people are abie and will sup
ply such necessaries as will promote
both public and individual welfare,
widiin themselves, and without aid
from oth rs, it would be much better
for them to do so. They had better
doit hao for others to supply them
gratuitously, because outside help
will never produce co operation
within. The greater number of
county persons engaged in measures
of public utility makes the results
proportionally greater. Every per r
-on 1 'cally interested sh mid bear
pait of local improvements for the
reason he will share the benefits.
The estate ol one man wid be mor
readily and more largely enhanced
by promo'ingibe interest of his com
munity or county. Go-operation im
part* confidence, promotes good
feelings, aud gives impetus to enter
prise, Citizen.
—The case of W. C. Singl ton vs
Central It Hr ad was tried in Talbot
court the first of the week.
The jury rendered a verdict in tavor
ol Mr. Singleton, assessing damage
at five thousand dollars. It will be
remembered that the young man got
on the pay train through mistake to
ride from Geneva to Howard. The
conductor ordered him off. He
jumped while the train was in motion
and ihe fall broke his leg. Single
ton then entered suit for twenty
houa ind dollars damages. On go
ing to trial tho jury rendered a ver
dict of $14,833 damaged. The rail
road company appealed to the Sit*
premecourt and anew trial was grunt'
ed. The case wa# brought up in the
Talbot Superior court for the second
time last Tuesday and the jury, as
above stated, assessed damages at
tive thousand. The Railroad will
again carry tile case to the supreme
Court.

COMM UN (CATION.
Liberty,Marion.Ciuntv. Ga. )
Vnr h 18tn 1881. )
Dear Arc dr: Please permit me j
-pace to extend m.inv thanks to
I trie h) “Ignoivnce’’ lor his deep sym
pathy in behalf of my troubled (?)
mind. In my article on tha rainbow,
I propounded the question—had the
antediluvians any rainbow? 1 used
the accepted teachings of science to
show that all tilings were made iu
the beginning, nnd that those crea
tions received tbo principles wuicti
were to control them, and, that
without divine interp: sitiou wou and
continue to act out tho phenomena
tor which they were created; and
that no new matter had been added,
lost or destroyed since the creation.
The r.dubow being a phenomenon ot
nature must have had its principles
created in the beginning; il so, did
tlie antediluvians have the rainbow?
If no', why not?
This is the question in point. I
did not say in my former article that
there was no rainbow before the
fl iod of waters, but I now do assert
that anterior to the flood that the
“sky of Paradise, was never beauti
fied by this phenomenon, nor did the
enlightened children, Caia and Abel,
ever hunt for its end. This makes
the issue, and now for the proot.
To ntuke the proof it is only neces
sary for me to analyze tho 13th and
14th verses of the 9th chapter of
Genesis, aud see what wo can make
them “necessarily” imply. Verse
13, “1 do set my bow in the Cloud,
and it shall be for a token of the
covenant Letwet-n ine and the earth ’’
What time is used here? Is not ho
present tense the form of the verb
“do set” used ? You must answer in
the affirmative, heuce I say that this
language is the same as I do now
set, etc. “The present tense ex
presses what is now taking place.”
(R. O. Smith, page 66, section 482,)
••The present tense has for its sign
the first form of tho verb; as, weep,
remain, etc.; excepting tbo occasional
use of do; as. I do learn.’’ (R. C.
Smith, page 70, sec. 519 ) “Do and
did mark the action itself, or the
time of it with greator energy and
posittveness; as, I do speak truth.’’
(It. 0. S, page 88, sec. 556.) “The
word veib means woid, and as the
words in all sentences which tell
what the nouns do, are the principle
ones, etc.” (R. 0. S,Q.to A. 142.)
Hence we say that the verb “do set ’
are the principle words, and imply—
if they imply anything, that God
then and at that time did set the
bow in the cloud as his token of the
covenant. “It shall be a token,
etc.” “Shall is an auxiliary used in
forming the future t nse.”—V\ ebster.
“The future tense expresses what
will lake place.’’ (R. C. S., page 67,
sec. 492 ) “Shall, in the first person
simply foretells; in the second and
third persons it promises, commands
or threatens.” (R. C. S., page 89,
sec. 570.) Then where do we find
tbe verb “shall be?” We answer in
the ind.CJfive future, hence the verb
“shall be,” promises something.
What is it? We answer the rainbow.
Then it follows as a matter of course
that the promise must, precede the
enjoyment, and we may ask, can ttie
thing itself be enjoyed before the
promise or the command ? Certainly
not. hence tho rainbow was to be a
future enjoyment, or we fail to under
stand the teachings.
Verse 14, “And it shnll come to
pass, when I bring a cloud over the
earth, that tho bow shall be seen in
the cloud.” In this verse we have
thb verbs “shall come, and, shall be
seen,” which are subject to the same
syntactical restrictions that the verb
“shall be” in the 13:h verse, hence
theveibs “shall come, and shall be
seen” do not, nor cannot be made to
represent past time, but something
which is promised in the future.
“When” is an adverb of time and is
used here to refer to some future
event; it here refers to the time
wiien God shall bring n cloud over
| the earth. What is it that shall
I come ti pass? It is quite certain
and evident that they then shall sue
tho how. ‘Shall be seen." Whit
shall be seen? Tho bow. When
shall it ho hi'Oh ? At the time when
God shull bring tho cloud over the
earth, referring to future time and
not to a time when Ue hud brought
tho cloud. Thus we seo from tint
teach Dgs of seionee the * hole id* a
of tho two verses under considera
tion, has reference ton fulutecm
tingency. If tin prtmists above
laid down are true, and we must
admit tie in to be true or d*-nytho
teachings of science, then it is evi
dent that fiend • Ignorance” Las
mads a perfect “flash in the pan."
An opinion “uneinbelil-b.d by piii-
I isophy cr logic,” amounts to no
opinion at all. I may say that New
ion’s theory of ginvitition is an ab
surdity— that the principles of evap
oration ami comb nsation Inm nothing
to do in the formation of clouds
and these assertions ‘ unsustatned
by philosophy or logic,” are not only
regarded a? a myth, but do not take
tiie dignity of an innovation.
So friend “fgnorance” wid have to
renounce Ids “uiiembeilished o;<ini"u”
and “worry over nb-tnise princi
ples” little,and then make a motion
for anew hearing.
Hoping to have your forbearance
for thus intruding upon your col
umns, arid wishing all success to your
valuable paper, I am us ever, etc.
