Farming Operations are going ahead with vigor. Nearly all our planters are through planting corn, and in many instances fine stands are up. The recent rains wore beneficial in that respect. ---wia ---— Nursery. —Messrs.

Mur¬ ray a committee to receive sub¬ scriptions for the purpose of put¬ ting the buildings in good order, and it is earnestly hoped that our people will respond liberally to tlieir call. Nothing tends more to tho ad¬ vantage of a community than good schools, and we notice that the little town of Cuthbert, last year contributed over $1500 to her school and now has one of tho fin¬ est institutions in the State. It is an example we ought to follow, and now is tho time. The committee is anxious to go to work improving the property and we hope to be able by our next issue to publish a list of contributions that will ac¬ complish all we desire. SuhgeoS Russell.— WeTseh by the following dispatch that our young townsman, Surgeon Russell, has lately been the object of sus¬ picion on the part of officials of the Peruvian government- The fol¬ lowing will explain the partial ■ lars-: Rear Admiral C. R. P. Rodgers, in a dispatch from Panama to the Navy Department, reports that As¬ sistant surgeon Russell and cadet Midshipman Glennon, who had re¬ ceived a leave of absence at Callao and went to a mountain village by rail for recreation, were arrested and detained over one night on suspicion of being engaged in rev¬ movements. They suc¬ ceeded in communicating with the minister of the United States at Lima and were released. The ar¬ rest was made without the least cause, and the Peruvian officers who were engaged in it were at once dismissed from the service.

Lumber. —We paid a visit to Jake Visscber’s saw mill the other day and found him busy sawing him., her. His mill is well arranged in every particular, and adapted for raprid work, llis railway for car-, rying off lumber and saw dust is a great labor saving appliance, and was arranged by Mr. Dan Visscher. As will bo seen by reference to his advertisement, Jake is now ready to fill orders for lumber, Oil the most favorable terms. Mr. Veimor, theCanadian weather prophet, stakes his reputation on the prediction that “there will be snow falls in different parts of the United States and Europe during April, and extremely backward weather in the fore part of May.

Sunday Gazette: “Beides sending nearly 4,°00 children to the public school, Atlanta sustains a dozen ex¬ cellent private schools.

The people of the United States have already contriduted over $500 000 for the relief of the Irish. And John Bull sa-,s: “Go on aud solid some more, We have yet to see the announcement of tho contribu¬ tion of a single shilling by the phi¬ lanthropists of Exeter Hall. Governor Holliday, of Virginia, in a talk at Washington last Tlntrsday, said that the difference now dividing the Democratic party in Virginia will he harmoniously settled before the Presidential canvas3 opens. The Tribune says Georgia is sol¬ id for. Tildon. This illustrates the old adage, “Go from home to learn home news.” Nobody in Georgia would suspect the existence of that fact. - The” Real Situation in Ireland James Radpath, now traveling in Ireland. as tho correspondent of the Now York Tribune, appears to have his eyes about him, and has not allowed himself to be di drived hy_H’ory lies and b^ n r A rn knTOate In his last letter he writes : “The Dean of Cashel has address¬ ed me a letter that tolls some gad stories of life among tho lowly in Ireland, that has so often moved the hearts cf tho civilized, world.— Like nine out of every ten of the cultivated priests whom I have met, tho Dean docs hot licsitato to at¬ tribute tlie impoverished condition of the people to tho disgraceful system of land-tenure that prevails in Ireland, a system that would make a desert in ten years of Iowa or Illinois. There is an impress¬ ion in America that tho agitation against tho land proprietors in Ire¬ land is an agrarian movement. It is nothing of the sort; it is an ear¬ nest effort to remove tho causes of famine. Tho evidence is over¬ whelming, and comes from every county, to show that the landlords of Ireland are not contributing a shilling to the relief fund, but, as a class, they are mercilessly enforc¬ ing tlieir legal claims to their pound of flesh frbtn 'their starving ten¬ ants.” Fatal and Lamentable Accident Wo have been permitted to make the following extract from a pri¬ vate letter to a friend in this city, giving an account of a most shock ing accident which occurred h^t week at Dungcnoss, Cumberland Island, resulting in tho death of the little son .of B. M. Davis. The writer gives the melancholy' partic¬ ulars of tho sad occurrence as follows: “A terrible accident occurred yesterday at Dungcnoss. Mr. B. M- Davis, son of Gen. W. G. M. Da¬ vis, the recent purchaser, had tho misfortune to shoot and kill his el¬ dest soli, a bright little fellow of five years of ago. The family had just moved over from Fernandina the day before, to take possession of their new home. A flock of roo ins lighting in a tree near the house, Mrs. D. called her husband’s attention to them, and suggested that he shoot some for their break¬ fast. lie got down his breech loader and standing in tho doer proceeded to put in a couple of cartrid f 8 wlieu - ia adjusting the l ™' ro1 ’ y B0 ' n ° m0aRS charge 0110 ^ a rreA wns ^P^°ded, tae oa ^ strikmg . the little boy ia the al,a ““^panutrating tlie lung, D., surprised ul tlie explosion, look ed to see whore tho shot had taken ofot Only a few paces from was the child, and noticing Clood bis arm, bo Haiti : ‘My darling, did. papa ss'ioot you 7’ He said ‘Yes, papa.’ Mr. D. hastened to the child, and noticing the red stain also on his lip, said; ‘Did papa shoot j'ou in tlic month also ? ‘No, papa, right here,’ he answered, putting Iris left hand over the wound in his right arm and side.— Ho looted up beseechingly at his father, but without any outcry or screaming. Instantly llr. u., teok him up, and as lie did so a violent hemorrhage burst from the child’s lips, and in less than fifteen min utes the little fellow was‘beyond the pass of shadows.’ It has spread a cloud of sorrow over our little community, and all tender to the bereaved parents their heartfelt sympathy. It is needless to add that the parents are almost crazed by this terible, heart-rending disaster.” London Truth: “iVomen are seldom deceived in their estimate of men's character, unless their nat¬ ural shewdness is blinded by love. Then tln-y make stupendous blun¬ ders.” $500 REWARD For overy grain of Impurity or adulteration found in Dixie Baking Powder.

This is of the most simply nature, as f lows: a pla'e of nirfrie composition specially adapt¬ ed to the purpose, lips two plates o t solid gold soldered One on each side.
