Public speaking, a good dinner, pure spring water, friendship ami a hearty welcome will be there to entertain the public. 1€ v “Well, you ought to do what you pro mised ; you oughtn’t to tell a man you’d come, and not do it”—was what we heard a colored American citizen remark to a “ man and brother,” as we passed along the street the other day. “What a country we would have, ’ we thought, “ if all our white and col ored friends would act on that principle.” And now comes our valued friend, the editor of the Southern Watchman, of Athens, and tells us what he knows about oat plant ing. lie planted a small patch—about an acre or so; had them cut some two weeks since, and finds he has 3000 pounds sheaf oats.

It becomes our sad duty to chronicle a most deplorable and fatal accident that oc curred at the Tannery of the Messrs. Ran dolph, of this place, on Thursday afternoon last, and by which one of the old and highly respected citizens of Jackson, Mr. Thos. J. Morrison, lost his life. Not being familiar with the premises, we may not be able to give the particulars with that accuracy desired, Mr. Morrison was a tanner, and was employed at his trade at the above named place. Some portion of the machinery in the tatinery is propelled by a large over-shot wheel—probably a 24 foot wheel. Around the rim of this wheel is a sort of boxing about eighteen inches wide—and to be cleaned and rinsed, hides are frequent ly thrown into the wheel, the water turned on, and thus, as it revolves, the desired end is gained. It would appear from all the cir cumstances—no one being close by at the time—that Mr. Morrison had gone into the wheel, (it being stationary,) to take out hides previously placed there for the purpose above mentioned, and that while in this position, the waste water that is constantly running over the wheel, filled the buckets and thus caused it to turn in the usual way. At this point, it is supposed that Mr. Morrison made an attempt to escape from the now revolving wheel, by jumping, and the timbers being wet and slippery, it is presumed he fell be tween the wheel and the works surrounding it; at any event, from the condition in which lie was found by a gentleman working in another department, the only person on the premises—and who was attracted by the cries of the unfortunate man—it was evident his whole body had been forced through a space, between a large post and the wheel, not ex ceeding/our and-a-half or jive inches! and so tightly was his body wedged in against a heavy rock wall that the wheel had ceased to move, and it was with the greatest difficul ty he was extricated. After hard work, however, this was accomplished and he was placed on a wheel-barrow and rolled into a house near at hand. Medical aid was sum moned at once, and everything done that could he, for his relief. Several ribs on each side w'ere broken, and so severe were the in ternal injuries otherwise, that the attending physician, Dr. IT. J. Long, expressed his be lief that it was impossible for the unfortunate man to survive them. The accident occurred about o'clock, and as he could not be moved otherwise, a litter was constructed and on this Mr. Morri son was brought over in town, about dusk, to the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. F. M. Bailey, where, after a night of intense suffer ing, he breathed his last at day-light yester day (Friday) morning. Mr. Morrison was an old citizen of Jack son—born in the county—and was, at the time of his death, in his 72d i 7 ear. He had long been a most exemplary member of the Baptist Church; was a hard-working man, and was highly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. A proper tri bute to his memory will, no doubt, be given by someone more capable and better acquain ted with his life than the writer of these lines. He leaves a grief-stricken widow, several children, and friends innumerable to lament his sudden and melancholy decease. Proceedings in aJckson Court of Ordinary. Monday, July sth, 1875.

Si. $-c., after hearing answer of the defendants and argu ment of counsel the Rule was discharged and plaintiff ordered to pay the cost. The plain tiff was ably represented by W. L. Marler, Esq., of Gainesville, assisted Ity J. A. B. Ma haffey, Esq., and the defendants were in like manner abty 7 represented by Col. J. B. Sil man, assisted 1>3 T Col. W. I. Pike. The coun sel for plaintiff gave notice of an intention to appeal from the decision of the Ordinary 7 to the Superior Court. It was a busy day in the Ordinary’s Court, and quite a number of gentlemen from the country w r ere in attendance on business con nected with the office. The day was sultry and betwixt trying to keep cool and adminis ter multifarious justice in protecting the rights of the dependent ones under his super intendence, the Judge must have been heavity 7 taxed ; however, he displa3 7 ed ability 7 and en ergy equal to the emergency upon him. We cannot close this report without mak ing mention of the presence of the ever faith ful Sheriff, Mr. J. S. Hunter, who was on hand to preserve order and do the bidding of the Court in his legitimate line. And here ye reporter would take leave of his Honor’s Court till “Court in course.” We learn that; a lady of Madison coun ty —Mrs. Fortor, living near Madison Springs —was thrown from a mule, on Wednesday last, and her foot getting hung in one of the stirrups, she was dragged some fifty yards, receiving injuries from which it is expected she cannot recover. Dr. Alexander speaks out this week. The Party at Martin Institute On Thursday Right. The usual Commencement Party came off at the Institute building on Thursday even ing, and is said, by an eye-witness, to have been a very agreeable affair, and we have no doubt it was, in fact, a pleasure-producing convocation of the merry lasses and manly lads who attended. Professors Glenn and Orr, and Miss Orr, of the School Faculty, were present, and others of the graver sort We re on hand, to take a glance at passing events. The young gentlemen appeared to be as- 7 siduous in their attentions to the fair maidens, and’all Was lovely—the girls appearing “ beau tiful as the mists as they rise to the ra} r s of the morning sun—soft as the shadows of the evening, as they descend on the valleys be low,” in the eloquent and impressive language of our friend S , in his dream. Ma}’ each and all long live to reflect on the joy afforded by this delightful part} 7 . Tribute of Respect, Adopted by Centre church, Mulberry Cir cuit, in Conference held July 3d, 1875 : Whereas, The Great Shepherd has remov ed from the fold militant to' the fold triumph ant, another one of our flock, our beloved brother, Berriman S. Camp, who closed his earthly career June 17th, 1875, therefore Resolved, That we magnify the grace of God in our departed brother, by winch from early manhood to ripe old age, he was enabled to maintain, unblemished, his Christian pro fession, and by which, though not taken as the “ tender blade, but as the full grown ear,” he constantly and beautifully exhibited, in all the relations of life, the spirit of Christ. Resolved, That those who naturally lament his death are encouraged, though in sorrow, “ not to grieve as those who have no hope and all who knew him should be admonished by his death, to prepare for the important time when they must la} 7 aside their mortal robes and appear in the presence of their God. Resolved. That a page in our Church Jour nal be inscribed to the memory of the deceas ed, and the publication o£ these resolutions be requested in the Southern Christian Ad vocate and Forest News. Lee M. Lyle, Sec. Centre C'h. The Revenue Raid on the Smokers. The idea of stamping each separate cigar seems to have actually taken hold on the of ficial mind in Washington, and Commissioner Pratt has prepared a circular for issue to Revenue Collectors, directing them to ex hibit the proposed “coupon stamp” to cigar manufacturers and report their opinion of its feasibility. In addition to the stamp now placed on the outside of each cigar box, the new design has coupons attached, one of which is to be placed on each cigar after it has been manufactured and before packing in the box. The stamps and coupons are made for boxes of twenty-five, fifty and one hun dred cigars. It is argued that the adoption of this design will effectually prevent cigars from being packed in boxes that have been previously used, and on which the old stamps may not have been destroyed. Each cigar as well as each box will bear evidence of having paid the tax, and as stamps and coupons are furnished with consecutive and corresponding numbers, any attempt at fraud will be readilv detected.— Nashville Union JJ- American. Music Without Hands. AN ELECTRICAL MACHINE THAT READS NOTES AND PLAYS AN ORGAN WITH TWO HUNDRED FINGERS. Philadelphia, June 11.—The acme of ma chine music appears to have been attained in an ingenious invention just perfected by Messrs. Schmole, of this city 7 , winch was ex hibited last evening in Horticultural Hall to a few invited guests. The apparatus rea ls notes and plays upon an organ with absolute correctness of time and touch, the only assis tance given it by the operator being to feed in the end of a roll of music and start the machinery in motion. Organs have been played by electricity before, but the only part performed ly 7 the electric fluid has been to transmit the power from a distant bank of ke3 T 9to open the valves of the instrument. Such an electrical organ has been exhibited in London for some time past. In the Schmole instrument the electric current is endued with a seeming intelligence, and distinguishes the notes in the same way that a blind man does —by feeling. Marvelous as this appears at first thought, it is simple enough. The score is written on a long roll of stout paper ly r cut ting holes through it in the form of squares or parallelograms. The reading instrument, which is about as large as a sewing machine, is provided with a multitude of small brass fingers, each of which is connected by a wire with the pipe of the organ which it operates. The roll of music is fed in over a brass tube. When the fingers rest on the paper no elec% trie current is transmitted, because paper is a non-conductor ; but whenever they fall into the holes cut in it they touch the brass be low, the current is transmitted and the sound produced. The length of the note is governed by the length of the slit in the paper. A noiseless bellows machine, run by wind conducted through a pipe from the organ, works the feeding apparatus. To aid in producing or chestral effects, drums, cymbals, bells, etc., are added to the ordinary pipe organ, and operated by electricity in the same manner as the pipes. A greatly increased volume of sound and much richer harmonic combina tions can be made by this instrument than it is possible for a single performer to produce upon an organ, in consequence of the fact the performer has only his ten fingers, while the electrical machine has two hundred, and can strike as many notes at once as desired. All the notes on the organ that can be com bined into a chord can be brought out togeth er. The two overtures to “Semiramide” and 4 ‘William Tell” were performed with pleas ing effect. As the reading instrument is me chanically accurate, and the score correctly written, there were of conrse no false notes. It was obviously machine music, however, but machine music of the highest order, and might readily have been mistken for the perform ance of a well-drilled but rather spiritless or chestra. The inventors hope soon to apply their device to a piano. —Correspondence New York Tribune. The Marietta Journal learns that on last Wednesday, while a party of fifteen men were engaged in running a threshing machine, near Alpharetta, a heavy cloud and rain came up, and a bolt of lightning struck In the midst of the crowd, killing three men out right, and injuring to some extent the entire party. Two of the men were brothers, and were standing one on each side of their father when killed, the father miraculously escaping unhurt. GLEANINGS.

There is but one cry of joy and admiration in the vineyards at the magnificent appearance of the vines. Since 1840 such a promise of abundance had not been seen.” Southern crop reports covering all the staple apd from all sections are all cheerful alike, but the most hopeful features of the southern situation are the large food crops being cultivated, and the condition of im proved order and industry among the labor ing population.
