There is no certainty, how ever, that it will pass the house. Ti c llow of bills into the house has ceased comparatively, and the house i getting fully and woui.ely down to work. The committees have worked inces wutly almost, and have returned n great many of the bills to the house with their recommenda tion. The greater part of the sessions in now occupied reading bills a second and third time. Upon tb- whole, I think the out look favorable for an adjourn ne it by about the first of Sep tsmber.

Our anxious hopes have been ex cited several times during the last few days by the black clouds pouring over from the South, but (hey have failed to furnish us with a shower. Tha colored brethren are carry ing on a protracted meeting near Jasper. The whites seem to give them liberal patronage. More intellect is found among the col ored preaching brethren than would be expected considering ibe short time since their email' cipation and their total illiteracy at the close of the war. There was a host of people at Salem last Sunday. The stand was filled by Rev. A. W. Rich ards. He preached one of his best sermons on Sunday. The stand was ably filled at the M. E. church at Jasper last Sun day night. What about those trophies? Hut that is about ns good as could be expected of a man who had not seen his wile and baby lor several weeks and who had lal ids hum the high profession ol school leaching io that of carry ing the mail across the mountain on a Donkey. The red speck was in his own eye and he only be held ihe reflected image. Communicated. Talking Hock, Ua., Aug. 8, *Bl. By order of the Board of Edu cation 1 commenced visiting the Public Schools in this county August Ist. 1 first Visited Miss Florence Moirison’s school at Talking Rock church. I found her busily engaged m the dis harge of her school duties. She has a very prosperous school, with forty-nine pupils enrolled. Miss Florence lias some experi ence in leaching and knows just bow to leach and govern a school. 1 next visited Mr. Charley Wof ford’s school at Talona School District- I was favorably impress ed with the school at that place. It is the first school that Charley has taught, but lie seems to un derstand his business well. lie has fifty students enrolled in his school. 1 then went to Mr. E. W. Cole man’s school at Town Creek church. There I found a large school witli fifty seven students enrolled. Mr. Coleinau is a good scholar, very energetic in his •chool duties, and well deserves the patronage so liberally be •towed on him. I next visited Mr. MrCiure’s school at Jerusalem School Dis trict. lie has a very good alien dance, with fitly.two pupils en rolled. Tins is the first school that Mr. MeClurc has taught bui. judging from the good order he keeps and the way he governs the school, 1 am sure he will give sal isfaclion to that community I next visited Miss Hernia Vin cent's school at Jidinsou’s School District. She has a very good attendance, with fortv-five tlu dents enrolled. Miss Hernia has experience in teaching, and from hearing I lie fecit nt ion of some ol her classes I am satisfied they are making rapid progress in their studies. The people of Johnson’s District have done well in pro curing the services of Miss Her nia to tlie Public School at Ufa! piace. •The public schools are in oper -tiion throughout the county. I can say for all i have visited that they aro doing admirably well, (he oeople in this ccrofntfy are becoming more interested in the education of their children, it is a duty tlrat every parent owes to his child to see that it is educa ted • if all the children of our country • were educated as they iid be, there would be an era of light and knowledge before unknown to civilization spring up :n our land and country. Let all lie interested in this grand work, and avail themselves of the op lorluuilies that JYu afforded. J. R. Allen, C. S. Ot 1 ‘Georgia Crop News. Fruit i# a failure up about Ce dartbwn. Rains have been general in Harris‘county. Oglethorpe county will make half akcrop of corn. Jackson county farmers are satisfied with their crops. The cotton crop of Forsyth is unusually fruited this year, Decatur.county will make corn enough for next year. Dry weather will shorten the corn crop of Dade county.

The sweet potato crop of Ogle thorpe county is being injured by bugs and disease, Mr. John Shank, of Wilkes county, will make thirty bushels of corn to the acre. Many farmers in Oglethorpe county are beginning to raise their own mules and horses. Fruit trees are so heavily load ed in some parts of Wilkes coun ty they are breaking dowu.
