The district meeting will commence at the M. E. Church to-morrow. Gen. Grant, like Mosea, seems to have gone on the “Mount" to die. The Methodist church steeple looks much neater since it has been painted. The city of New York has about as large a population as the state of Georgia. We learn High Shoals has subscribed $5,000 toward the railroad from Athens. The Jasper County Sunday School As¬ sociation will hold its annual meeting on the 14th of August. Mr. John Pou, of Jasper county, died at his home near Shady Dale, one day last week. The heaviest rain fell in Covington, on last Saturday afternoon, that has fallen here in over a year. The cap and weather vane for the clock tower of the court house, were received on last Saturday evening. We learn an ox belonging to Mr. Mc¬ Clendon, of Edora, Jasper county, was struck and killed by lightning, a few days ago. A man named Calvin Gordon, living in Morgan county, was shot and killed by another named Henry Crawford, one day last week. The difficulty was about a land line. The artesian well in Atlanta has now reached a depth of about 1700 feet, and the drill is still thumping for admission into China. There is no water yet in sight, at the bottom. The closing exercises of Profs. Guinn 4 O’Kelley's male and female academy, at Conyers, will commence to-day and end on Friday night, with an address by Col. Claud Estes, of Gainesville. The public cordially invited. The survivors of the old 35th Ga. regi¬ ment are requested to meetat the Kimball house, in Atlanta, on Saturday, the 25th of July, for ihe purpose of organizing j.re paratory to a reunion of the regiment at an early day. A colored man named Dave Pruitt, liv¬ ing near Yellowriver, cut 177 dozen large bundles of oats, and assisted in tying and “shocking” the same, on Friday, the 3d day of July. The work was done for Mr. John Bradford, in Rockdale county.— Who can beat it? As the season for sowing turnips is ap proaching, it is proper you should have good seed. Brooks & Ivy, druggists ol Covington, have a splendid stock of fresh seed, which they will sell you cheap. Call on them when you want good, fresh tur¬ nip seed. A Texas paper says Sam Jones, the great Georgia revivalist, who unde 4 1 '0 converts at Waco in one week, was paid $!.50 apiece for them by the city council of Waco. The Star does not vouch for the truth of the above, but simply gives it as what ‘‘the Texas paper says.” The Atlanta Constitution claims to have I aid over $2,500 for postage, last year, which was about two thirds of all the postage paid on newspapers, sent through the At¬ lanta post office during that period. The reduction in postage, which took effect on the first of July, will be a saving to that journal of about $100 per month. The steeple of the Methodist church at Social Circle was struck by lightning on last Thursday afternoon, and set on fire. The steeple was badly damaged by the electric fluid, as well as the roof of the house. The fire was fortunately extin¬ guished before much damage was done. The Orange [Va-] papers, of last week* announce the death of Dr. Uriel Terrell, of that place, in the 93d year of his age. Many of the old confederate veterans liv¬ ing in this section still remember Dr. Ter¬ rell, and his hospitable home, which was near the old Fredericksburg and Or¬ ange plank road, four miles from Orange C. H.,and will regret to learn of his death. Col. Bob. Hardeman, our state treasurer, is now engaged in signing the coupons on the last issue of Georgia bonds. There are 3,400 in the last batch of these bonds, and each bond has 60 coupons attached. The state treasurer has to sign each and every coupon. He will, therefore, have to sign his name over 200,000 times before tlie bonds are negotiable. This will be a considerable job, and will require several months to complete it. This work is in ad¬ dition to the treasurer’s regular duties.— So you will perceive, the state treasurer has something else to do besides draw¬ ing his salary Mr. John Pattillo, of Texas, a young gen¬ tleman belonging to the sophomore cl ass ofEmory college, died in Oxford on last Friday evening, July 10th, of typhoid fe ver- Mr. Pattillo had been sick for sever al weeks, and his death was not wholly un¬ expected. He was a member of the Meth¬ odist church, and was a most exemplary and worthy young man. He stood high in his college class, and was awarded a speaker’s place at the recent commenoe meat, but was stricken down with his la* illness, and was unable to fill his place at the commencement He is said to have been one of the finest orators in his class. He was attended in bis illness by Drs. Evans & Perry, who did all for him that skill could suggest, llis remains were laid to rest on Saturday. We learn the eitiaen* of Rockdale coun¬ ty living in the vicinity of Swann’s acad e'tny, propose to organize an agricultural dob on the ?5th of July. Personal Mention.

Methvin, late president of Butler female college, lias been commissioned by Bishop Hargrove as a missionary to the Indian Territory, with headquarters at New Hope. His duty will consist in being minister and president of New Hope Seminary. It is related of a Paris physician that he has recently removed the disease eye of a young girl, in that city, and that he replaced it with the eye of a rabbit. After an elapse of fourteen days, the rabbit eye was reported to be doing well. If this experiment in surgical science proves success¬ ful, the girls can hereafter throw rabbits’ eyes at the boys instead of sheeps’ eyes. Mr. Rufus W. Smith, of Dalton Female Col¬ lege, u as last week elected president of the fe¬ male college at LaGrange.

Turner, pastor of the Meth¬ odist church at Lawrenceville, committed suicide at Stone Mount tin. on last Tues¬ day evening, by taking strychnine.— Mr. Turner was well known about Cov¬ ington, as he had been a student at Em- I ory college, and last year married Miss Annie Pierce, the beautiful and accom¬ plished daughter of Rev, James L. Pierce, of Oxford. lie was a member of the North Georgia conference, and was stationed at Law renceville the present year. Op Tuesday morning he left home, without the knowl¬ edge of his wife or friends, and walked rapidly to Stone Mountain, a distance of about 10 mile . He went to the hotel and procured a room, when he fastened the door on the inside and swallowed the deadly poison. His remains were carried to Atlanta on the accommodation train on Thursday morning, where they were met by his wife and other friends. They were carried to Eatonton for burial. It is not clearly known what caused Mr. Turner to commit the fearful act of self-destruction, but it seems certain his mind was unhing¬ ed and reason was at least temporarily de¬ throned by some cause not fully under¬ stood by the public. The prevailing theory, however, is that his mind was af¬ fected by the holiness movement in that section. Whether this is correct or not, the Star cannot say ; but, it appears to be the most plausable of any giyen. At all evenLs, there was nothing in his domestic life or relations to have caused it, as they were said to be of the most pleasant na¬ ture in every respect. He left a letter to his wife and brothor, of which the following is a copy : Stone Mountain, Ga., July 7th, 1885.—My Dear Wife: I cannot explain all the steps by which I have come to the terrible purpose of taking my own life. You know something of them. I want to protest again, in the name of God, that it is no fault of yours. You have been always faithful and loving. 1 have lost faith and hope for the world, and that which is to come. Do not cease to trust God. I do love you.— Think of me kindly if you can, after I have shown myself a recreant to every vow that one takes when he marries a wife. Alas, my wife ! Brother Willie, I have taken strychnine. Life seems a most worthless failure for me. Give Annie whatever property I have. I left Ijiw renceville this morning without the knowledge of any one. I walked to this place. You and Brother Joe, and Sisters Lucy, Mary aud Lizzie must not let this deed of mine make you lose you faith. I am to be blamed for it all I have go where I cannot turn back. Be very kind to AnnieT Oh ! my poor wife ! Oh! my broth¬ ers, my sisters ! I have thought of the sorrows, the sequel, the ruin that must follow, but I see but one way —suicide. I commit my spirit and judgment to'God, who will do the best that can be done for rot I have laid down under my burden so long that I have lost all feelings and anything like proper conception of my crime. Good bye. M. D. T»*ner. To W, I„ Turner, Elberton, Ga : Will who- ever first finds this, please telegraph to W, L. Turner, Elberton, Ga., immediately? I owe J. W. Burke & Co. something for sub¬ scription to the Advocate. I want that paid. I owe T, N. Smith and Mr. Robert Crage small .bills. Pay them for me. Pay the owner of this house whatever is due him. Reunion of the 42d Georgia Regiment. The following letter from Sheriff I.. P. Thom¬ as, of Atlanta, to Mr. W. K. Edwards, of New¬ ton county, is published for the information of the surviving members of the 42d Ga. regiment, who may wish to attend the reunion and pic me at Decatur, on the 22d of July : Atlanta, Ga., July 7, 18S5 . Mr. W. F. Edwards, Covington, Ga., Mv Old Army Fkiknd : Bring the old flag, if it is no larger than a pocket handkerchief.— Meet us on the 22d inst., at Decatur, Ga. No¬ tify the boys as far as you can. We will have a pic nic and reunion together. Several other no¬ tices will be in the papers. Yours truly. I,. P. Thomas. -- .» »■». An Important Discovery.

BROOKS A IVY What is the Cause, Editors, as a rule, rarely ever agree, and consequently are continually at loggerheads.— They will take up the same subject and discuss it in their columns, give it a thorough analys¬ ing, show up all the points, and if you will take their articles and compare them, there w ilt always be some point of disagreement. There are, of course, exceptions to this as well as to other general rules, and we propose to give an instance where three Georgia editors are unan¬ imously of the same opinion. The editor of the Southern World, publish¬ ed in Atlanta, says : “I know the proprietors of Bradlield’s Female Regulator, and can vouch for their high standing in this community. I also, from my own knowledge, can testify that it is a great boon to woman, with no superior, and every lady ought to send fur and read their book on female diseases which they mail free." The editor of the Milledgeville Chronicle says he considers Bradfield’s Female Regulator the greatest blessing ever discovered for suffer¬ ing woman; says he knows of six ladies in his community who have been cured sound and well by its use, and he would advise every suf¬ fering woman to use it. From the editor of the Gainesville Eagle : “1 consider Bradfield’s Female Regulator the best medicine ever compounded and offered to ble public far the diseases for which it isrecom mended. I am well acquainted with a lady who never had any health until she commenc ed using it. It gave her immediate relief, and from that time until now she has enjoyed the best of health. I can say with hearty good will, * ‘God speed Dr. Hradficld in the sale of his never-failing Female Regulator ! Send for our liooU containing valuable infor¬ mation for women.
