We had a glnriotts rain on Sun

soon, but soon enuugh to save ev

that grows in gardens, Now let
our people plant peas, potatoes,
etc., in obundanco, they will need
everything that is good (nr man or
beast.
Xotlc o.
We would Cali tho attention ef
our renders to tho • advertisement,
in another column, of tho Fame
Manufacturing Co., of 8811 Broad,
way New York, they are advertis
ing a full siXe first class sewing
machine, at. the exceeding low
price of Eighteen Dollars ; they
desito male and female agents ev
erywhere, and offer extraordinary
inducements. Reud their adver
tisement.
Oar Delay.
We ore vory sorry to say our
paper has been greatly delayed this
week ns it is so frequently the case
among newspapers. Having or
dered paper from Atlanta in am
ple time to havo prevented this
delpy, but from somt. oaitBe we
cannot tell, it did not reach us un
til Tuesday evening, otherwise
it would not have been. Our read
ers havo doubtless beou, greatly
disappointed, but they cannot
think hard of us lifter reading this
notice.
The Commencement Concert.
Wo are informed that Mrs. Ru
therford, whom no one in Georgia
can excel in getting up entertain
ments, will give a grand “Old
Folks’ - concert during Commence
ment week, the proceeds of which
we understand, will be donated to
the Methodist Church in Butler.
We bespeak for bar a liberal pat
ronage in view of the praiseworthy
object which it is intended to pro
mote. Besides we feel assured
that this concert will if possiblo
excel all the former concerts here
tofore given by her—with which
everybody was so muoh delighted.
We also understand that she will
conduot the music, vocal and in
strumental, during theObmmence-
mont, We confidentially promise
our citizens and visitors, a treat in
the approaching Commencement
exercises.
The Convention,
When this goes to press, the
election for delegates to the Con
vention will have passed We are
of the opinion a Convention should
be called ; not that the present
Constitution is very bad, but it
can bo improved in several impor
tant-particulars. One is, it was
not made by Georgians, but dicta
ted by the United States Congress.
We hope the regular nominees will
be elected, they are good men.
We understand there is an inde
pendent candidate in this county,
we are sorry for this. Col.Wallace,
unless we are crazy is the choice
of the intelligent portion of our
people, if the county goes against
him, which We know Will not, we
shall feel that we are disgraced.
Not that the gentleman Who is
running is hot a very good man,
but because he 1ms never had any
experience in making LaWs or Con
stitution .

Communicated.
Mr. - Editor : It affords us great
pleasure to notice the kind favor
shown usby-youin your last issue,
in regard to our Sunday school
celebration, on the first day of
June. You gave all the sweets
of the celebration, and noW we
will give you a synopsis of the:
bitter.
1st. !ft Was painful to us to see
our beloved paster, A. M. H-.
Evans, abandon us on this occa
sion.
2nd. As a pastor, he should
have been one of the head-meu in
addressing the Bohcdl.
3rd. He done all that he could
to prevent the l'urtheranoh of the
cause.
4th. At night he solicited a
crowd at the African Heaven,
about one mile from town, to pro
hibit the people from hearing our
able speaker, Col. A. A. Careon.
And in conclusion Mr. Editor,
wo would say to our pastor, to
throw egotism to the winds and be
docile, and we would approbate
him muoh. One good leBSon for
him would be the 26th, Ohapt. of
the Proverbs. Ne-1’lus-Ultra.

A tHjflculty in Marlon County,
Tho Buena Vista Argitf giVcs a
long account of a difficulty which
occurred on Sunday last, between
Newton Short and a Mr. Brown.
It seeme that a fire occurred some
tirno ago which burno-l sumo ot
Mr. W. J. Short's fences and ho
thought it was started for the pur
pose of injuring him, and bo ex
pressed himself. But Mr. Brown
knew otherwise, and confidentially
told Mr. Newton Short how the
fire di - originate—from tho pipe
of a Mr. Blythe—nnd wauled noth
ing said about it.
Mr. Newton Short, howover,
told a friend in confidence, who iir
turn told another friend in confi
dence, and so it went until the
story was known through tho en
tire oommunity. Mr. Brown call
ed Mr. Short to account for betray
ing confidence, and Mr. Short
apologized for his imprudence, and
Mr. Brown seemed satisfied ; but
ho (Brown) afterwards reported
that he made Short take back the
story about the pipe. On hearing
this, Short sent him word to name
a place where they'could meet and
determine who did the lakingbuck.
Brown named a vacant house of
Samuel Highsmith’s, near Thorn-
tonville, and there they met, each
with his friends, armed with clubs,
pistols, knives, &o., on last Sun
day, to settle it. ’Squire J. J.
McDowell heard of the appoint
ment, and went to the place to
command the peace, but instead o!
respecting his authority the belig-
erents leveled their fire-arms ut
him it % threatening manner, and
successfully defied his powors.
They then commenced shooting,
and continued to shoot until Brown
was disabled by pistol wounds,
knife cuts tkbcl club bruises. No
one killed.
This was a rough and very un
necessary fracus, and one that the
Argus uses rough English to char
acterize, as it thinks it should be.
