A Delightful ’Cu3
On last Friday a very pleasant anil de¬
light "ul little barbecue was given by a
party of gentlemen from Covington, at
tire splendid sping, near the old Novelty
Works, below Cedar Shoals, on Yellow
river. Several carcasses were put upon
the roast at an early hour, under tire im¬
mediate supervision of Mr. J. P. Sigman,
Capt. Olcott, and others, and when the
dinner hour arrived everything was well
cooked, and ready for the table. About
25 gentlemen were present, and all enjoy¬
ed the dinner very much. The place se¬
lected for the dinner was in a charming
little dell, near a large spring of excel¬
lent cold water, and plenty of cool shade.
It was a charming spot for such an occas¬
ion, and we never saw a party of gentle¬
men spend a day of recreation with great¬
er relish, or more perfect enjoyment. A
day spent in the country, iu a cool and
shady dell, near an abundance ef cold
spring water, with a splendid dinner,
prepared in the very best manner and
served upon a rustic table, is a rare treat
for a business man ; but that is the kind
of a time, place and occasion we all en¬
joyed on last Friday. Let us repeat It.
Death of Dr. Josiah Bradfield,
On last Wednesday morning, I)r, Jo
sifth Bradfieid, of Atlanta, died at his home
on Rawson street, of inflammation ot the
bowels. He was taken sick on Sunday
afternoon, and was not thought to be
seriously ill, until a short while before his
death, when be gpew worse, and quietly
paBsed away on Wednesday morning.—
Dr. Bradfield was about 50 years old, and
was one of tiie best known business men
of Atlanta. He was the founder and pro
prietor of Bradfield’.s Female Regulator,
one of the best and most popular pro
prietary remedies on the market, and
seanVv wide sale, He was a Tennes
birth, but bad been a citizen of
Atlanta ever since the war. He was an
honest man, and .exceedingly fair and
liberal in all his dealings. The writer has
known him long and intimately, and feels
deeply the loss sustained in Jus sudden
and untimely death. He was a genial
companion, a steadfast friend, and the
very soul of honor. To his bereaved Pam
ily our heart goes out in earnest sympa,
thy in their great sorrow, May bis rest
be tranquil, and his sleep sweet and peace
ful beneath the inexorable foil.

A Few Timely ami Sonud Reflections on
the Farmer.
Editor Covington Star :
My Dear Sir : I shall just write you, this
time, my opinions on "What ought a farmer
to be ?'
Farming ! farming ! What a world of mean
ing there is eucondied iu the term !
Agriculture has heretofore ("until late years,)
been considered an occupation strictly menial—
practiced only by the vulgaspopull To be a farm
er was simply to be a slave, an ignoramus, an il
literate, a serf, an automaton, which acted only
as directed by the elite, the ban ton, the upper
dass, the aristocratic, gentlemen of culture, leis¬
ure, and meansalias, to use a slang phrase, gen¬
tlemen of “chink.” To be a farmer was to be
a dupe of various monied corporations, firms, in
the form of merchants of every class, monopol¬
ies, in forms well known and too numerous to
mention, syndicates, in multifarious forms, law.
yers, doctors, officers of every kind, the Omni,
present “sharpers,” and such like.
Yes, “the tillers of the soil,” the "hardy sons
of toil,” the yeomanry of the country, the back,
bone and sinew of the whole world, (I am speak
ing of the past, present, and future ,) may have
been unlettered in the past, may be so now, and
may be so in the future, but ‘ the times are
changed, and we (the farmersj are changed
with them.”
Our ignorance has made us the subject of de¬
pression, exaction, and such like wrong treat -
ment; but, thank God, we feel, we know,
that part, at least, of this too
long borne and to heavyo burden has been lifted
from our careworn shoulders. \\ e feel and know
that times -have changed, in one sense of the
word, to our advantage, and thereby to the
advantage of the greater portion
of the human race, if not to all mankind ; and
we are but rejoicing over a rightly corrected
wrong, not in a bigoted and Pharisaical manner,
but in the spirit of Christians. Please bear that
in mind, kind reader.
The success of a person depends mainly upon
three things : knowledge, ability, and continui¬
ty. No one can succeed, in anything, without
being conversant with the principles that under¬
lie his chosen profession. How to obtain this
knowledge is, truly speaking, unexplicable.—
Hints can be given, and nothing but hints. But
it will not do to stop here to analyze that phase
of this subject. It, within itself, opens up broad
fields for discussion, and volumes could be, and
have been, written upon it. Farmers, then,
must have a knowledge of their pro vs:.! 0 . 1 .—
This implies a knowledge of an, .uter, and
earth. Hence, chemistry is an absolute necessi¬
ty to farmers. Often I have heard persons try¬
ing to refute this by saying that nearly all our
farmers have no knowledge of chemistry. Not
so. The fact that we know rain, air, sunshine,
cultivation, etc., are necessary in order to pro¬
duce vegetation, proves this assertion to be a
falsehood. That much knowledge of the science
of agriculture we have, whether learned from
books, persons, experience, observation, or else
wheresoever. Then, if a little knowledge has
been of so much advantage to us thus far, would
not more knowledge be of still g-eater advan¬
tage? Knowing that “a little knowledge is an
advantageous thing,” why not “drink deeper of
the Pierian spring ?”
Next, ability. Nature has end iwed people
' ' * * *' • U4M * > ■ • 1 .
. towards
she Has been lavish some, sparing to¬
wards others, an I just so-so to the majority.—
The best we can da is to cultivate, to the great¬
est extent, the faculties with which God, in his
infinite mercy, has *cen fit to endow us. To
know our ability is sometimes quite difficult.—
No rule can be given. We must make self a
study as well as the countless other things which
we have to do. l’ru lence, caution, circumspec¬
tion, patience, forbearance, integrity, a desire to
do right, is necessary.
This brings us to the thirl and last—yclept,
continuity. Knowledge and .ability go for noth¬
ing unless “scotched” by continuity, persever
ence, “stickability,” will, desire, and deteruiina
tion to do, in spite of adverse, circumstances.
I care not what one’s circumstances in life may
be, it is fearfully true that there is no excellency
without labor. I have seen persons of genius,
persons of mediocre talent, and parsons of in¬
ferior gifts, pitted against each other in the same
contest, but the laurels almost invariably fell to
the lot of the plodders. “L ibor omnia vin
eit —labor conquers all tilings." Work 1 work !
that is the secret of success. lie who does not
labor will make a failure in life.
Farmers, them'should be well versed in the
science of agriculture. Now couple a scientific
education with ability, ("which includes capital—
a general term for means acquired and innate, J
and continuity, and you have, in my opinion,
what a farmer ought to be.
Whatever the farmer is, or has been, my can¬
did opinion is, he will be “King o’ men for a’
that.” Yes, “crown him lord of all,” for he is
trustiest and worthiest. Place his head on downy
pillows, and his body “on flowery beds of ease,"
for he is aweary, aweary, l’luck for him the
fairest lilies, and “strew his pathway with flow
ers. ” “Iiuild for him triumphal bowers,” for
we should honor our country’s noblemen.
Very truly and amicably yours.

An End to Bono Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, Ill., says :
Having received so much benefit from Electric
Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering human-.
ityknow it. Have had a running sore on my leg
for eight years ; my doctors told ine I would have
to have the bone scra|ied or leg amputated. I
used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters
and seven boxes Iluckleii’s Arnica Salve, and my
leg is now sound and well."
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a bottle,

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 analvz
ng, show up all the points, and if you will
take the r articles and compare them, there will
always be some point Disagreement. There
are, of course, exceptions to 'his as well as to
other general rules, an 1 we propose to give an
instance where three Georgia editors arc uuan
imously of the same opinion.
The iditor of the Southern World, publish¬
ed in Atlanta, says : “I know the proprietors
of Brarltield’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 110 superior,
and every lady ought to send for and read their
'nook on female diseases which they mail free.”
The editor of the Mille Igeville Chronicle
says he considers lira lfiel l’s Fe 11 ile Regulator
the greatest blessing ev-r 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 woul 1 advise every suf¬
fering woman to use it.
From the editor of the Giine.Svilfe Eagle :
“1 consi ler Bradficld’s Female Regulator the
best medicine ever comp nude 1 an 1 offered to
the public for the diseases for which it is recom¬
mended. I am well acquainted with a lady
who never had any health until she com.nenc
ed using it. It give her in n ; li Ue relief,
and from that time until now she has enjoyed
the best of health. I can say with hearty good
will, “God-speed Dr. B.ailfield in the sale of
