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?

R. 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.

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 him lay a bright future. He was ab >ut th rty years oil; war a bon of Mr. Mulichi Jos-ey, deceased, of this county. Only about a month ago he was married to Miss Gussie, daughter of Rev. W. B. Metritt.

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.

We heard tho expression 1 ,st week of “do you live far around Imre much?’' Mr. Ben Ganlting is down with the mumps. Superior court commences on Mon day week. One of our townsmen received as a present last week a cigar blacked with blacking, Mr. Sol Walls nnd wife, nt Tnzowell, Ga., is visiting Mr. John Parker. Last Thursday Mr. Burt Han brought to town a hen egg that weighed six ounces. After a careful count, we find that there are tan more young ladies in Butler than yonng men. A young man called on one of onr young merchants last week anil in quired for “Moustache Root.’’ Will someone please tell us what it is? The Butler Herald, not long Gnce, contained a notice of a marriage that came off after the paper was printed. Suppose the marriage had not come off, what then ? There is only one fanner in Taylor county that we know of who docs not use guano, and will not stand spenritv fi r any of his renters to use it. That man owns several farms and has money to lend. A word to the wise is mfflcient. Ah! bow good we felt last Thurs day night, when a party of eight voting Indies came around nnd sere naded your humble servant. They sang so sweetly “Nobody’s Darling. ’’ Mr. Wi'son, of Howard, is paint ing the dwelling of J. T. Hartley. Mr. Wilson will present the lodge at this place with anew sign in a few days. One of onr town merchants so’d a lot of corn to a Country roerebanr, and when he cariied the corn home it weighed two pounds less; he sent a boy back twelve miles after the two ponnds of corn. Mr. J T. Hartley opened a whole sale and retail grocery store in Bnilerlast week in the building for merly occupied by Wallace & Wallace and has sold unto date 17 carloads of corn, two cars of hav and one of bran, and several more car loads of corn and hay ore expected this week.

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. R. U. Tim Savannah Recorder, in notic ing the burial of a lieutenant in ono of the negro companies of that chy, says: “Just aa the coffin was being lowered an immense ra’tlesnake, an large around as a man’s arm, was discovered at the side of the coffin.
