Respectfully, Jso. Tiiad. Johnson, Secretary. The Convention. There seems to be absolutely no interest in this county on tho con vention qiistion. During tho ses sion of our superior court lost week, wo do not remember to have heard tho matter mentioned by a single person. Wo assure onr contemporary of the Telegraph and Messenger that the people of this oottnty are Hot caroing worth a cent whether tho capitol is over moved buck to the old forsaken town of Milledgeville. Indeed, wo iliitik that a majority of the tit porfer tho great growing city of Atlanta as the fit ntid proper enpi- ] top of tho empire stuto. Wo I further think that if there is noth-! ittg more important to oliango titan | the Homestead clause three fourths nf ottr people aro in favor of a Ilomostead. Some would prefer a smaller otic than a constitution of 08 allows, but wo do not beletvo there is a single voter in Taylr.r county that desiro tho calling of a convention simply to remove the capitol from Atlanta to MUIetlge- villo or to out down tho Home stead.

GBK.lT INDUCEMENTS TO AGENTH. $ $ On last Sunday night week, while a largo congregation ltad assembled at the Methodist church quite a number of small dogs that had taken advantage to . fol low their owners on this occasion, bognn a terrible disturbance in tiie isle wltere the ladies were seated. While a mother with her babe about two-and-a-lialf years old cumo walking in church, these most annoying pests began their disturbance, and tho whole church was in a motion of excitement. Notwithstanding tho excitement of the congregation, the little bake was scared to an almost lifeelss condition. If it were not for tho expenso we should be tempted to ask our next Legislature to give us two weeks instead of ono. There was a large amount of business dono here last- week, but there is some that whs left undone that needs attention The most important case that was tried was the oase of the Stuto vs. W. R. Shephard, ohargt-d with murdering his wife Sallio Shep hard, on tho 21st of Junuury last, this ease wus taken up on Thurs day morning and closed Friday at 12 m. Tho Stuto was ably repre sented by Col. Bttssey, Sol. Gcnl; Muj. Holsey andMr.Uarson. The prisoner by Cols. W. 8 Wallace and W. P. Edwards. The Jury remained out only long enough to write the verdict ot nr*-guilty. Unfortunate.
