We were met at Conyers by our clever friend, Mr. Bartow Goode, a young, active, and meri¬ torious farmer and machinist. The peo¬ ple of Rockdale are wide awake on agri¬ culture, as is evideueed by the great inter¬ est they take in their clubs. An election was held in Gum Creek district of Newton county, on Thursday last, on the question of ’* For Fence or Stock Law,” which resulted in a vote of 88 for the stock law, and 29 for fence, or a majority of 59 in favor of the stock law. The good people of Gum Creek are to be congratulated upon the result of this elec¬ tion, as they thus take another forward step in the inarch of progress. Which is the next district to follow ? Jerry McCalls, the negro who was put off the fast train between Covington and Conyers, by Capt. Harry Hill, on the 4th of July, for cursing and swearing, and otherwise acting in a disorderly manner, was arrested at Gainesville, by Detective Stone, on last Tuesday nigh’, and was brought to Covington end lodged in jail on Wednesday. He was brought before Justice Harris on Friday for a prelimi¬ nary investigation, and the evidence ad¬ duced developed the following as the facts: When Jerry got aboard the fast train at Covington, he began cursing and using bad language generally, and acting in a very disorderly manner. There were a large number of passengers on the train, both white and black, and Capt Hill asked him to keep quiet, and not use such language. Jerry defiantly replied that he usually talked and acted as he pleased. He continued to act in a disor' derly manner, and was informed by con¬ ductor Hill that if he did not keep quiet he would have to put him off the train. The negro replied that he fthe conduc¬ tor; could not do that, as he had a ticket which he had bought from the Georgia railroad company, and he knew what his rights were. He refused to keep quiet, after having been asked to do so by the conductor, and the train was stopped and Jerry was put off. He resisted, and was ejected by force, When he reached the ground, he picked up a rock as large as a man’s fist, and threw it at the crowd, which struck Mr. Conner, one of the men who assisted Capt. Hill in putting him off, in the side, breaking the works of his heavy cased watch. Jerry continued to throw rocks at the crowd until Capt. Hill procured a pistol and fired at him. He then ran up the road until he had cleared the cut in which the train had stopped, and when the train moved on, he contin¬ ued to throw rocks at it as long as he was in reach of it. These facts having been estaolished to the satisfaction of the cour , Jerry required to give bond in the was which he went to sum of $300, in default of jail to await the action of thegrand jury, next week, when he will be (»lled upon to the charge of assault with m answer Hill acted only in the tentto kill- Capt. duty in putting Jerry (Recharge of his clothesYinTwitfulj^pm nCT.^as'the* K^sasafSiSs^ law ^ * welfare of hfc passengers.

S. Montgomery is dead, which sad event occurred at his home, near Brick Store, in Newton county, on Monday afternoon, Sept. 14 , 1885 . He has been afflicted for many years, and for a long time his death has been expected almost daily. But his strength failed to bear up under his great suffering at last and he died as he lived a pure and noble man. Elder Montgomery was well known to the people of Georgia, and was universally beloved by those who knew him intimately, His death will cast a shadow over many hearts and homes which had beengladdened by the genial warmth of his noble Christian counsel. A more elabo rate and appropriate notice will be given next week. His funeral took place on yesterday. The Star extends sympathy to his bereaved family.

The kiss you promised me profound I, lingering, yearn to taste ■ 1 long to lay my arms around Your delicate, Grecian waist; And from your cherry lips to hear A low and faint sigh, like this : “O what amazing raptures, dear, Are centered in one sweet kiss !” I’d press you ta my bosom’s core — O, it could not be amiss ; Fd kiss you o’er, and o’er, and o’er, An age to every kiss. ~ I swear by all the sylphs above, Around that sweet orifice, Pd pour the ardor of my love hi one eternal kiss. To feel each heart-beat answer heart, Would be quite enougli of bliss ; And surely we could never part, .Cemented by such a kiss. To feel the warm blood hotly glow, Pleasure never ending is : To be where kisses blooming O who could grow, refuse to kiss ? Thus let me live, thus let me die, My fair, tender, loving Miss ; O let my spirit homeward fly, On wings of a parting kiss. •Hf The Sunny South please copy. Eailroad Meeting.

The meeting was a har¬ monious and profitable one. The citizens of Covington entertained them in their usual hospitable and elegant style, as delega¬ was openly expressed by the whole tion. We close by saying that we think the session was a materially beneficial one _beneficial to the the delegates and to Covington. At least the Star thinks so. The Royal Arcanum. Covington takes great interest in Mutual Ben¬ efit Associations. We have three lodges here, belonging to three of the best mutual ben¬ efit associations in the world, and they each have a good membership. The oldest lodge of these orders, is the Knights of Honor, which was organized here over ten years ago. The benefit or insurance in this order is $ 2 , 000 . The the next oldest is American Legion of Honor, and the benefit is divided into six classes, the amount of each ranging from $500 to $ 5000 . The youngest of the lodges here is the Royal Arcanum. Each of them have lost some of their members by death, and their bent etits have all been promptly paid. They are all good, and all afford the cheapest life insurance that can possibly assertion be that ob¬ tained. In proof of our Covington takes great interest in these fraternal and mutual benefit associations we will simply mention the fact that the members of ‘the different lodges here, carry an aggregate amount of near $.>50,000 of insurance in them. Of course the as¬ sessments on all that, amount to a good sum each year, but the lodges here have received from the supreme treasury of the respective orders, 011 the death of members, the magnificent sum of $27,000. This sum is made up as follows, in the number of the deceased members of each order, and the amounts paid by each : KNIGHTS OF HONOR. Thomas Black........ $2,000 Wm. S. Brown........ 2,000 Isaac P.
