Right glad are we to know, certainly,, that we were not mistaken last week, in what was stated in these columns v regard to the Fair then in progress in Athens. From the city papers, as well as from private sources, we learn of the most gratifying results of the Exposition. And now, that this enterprise has been so successfully inaugurated—under adverse circumstances, namely, hard times— may it'not be confidently hoped that it is on ly a prelude to an Exposition on a grander and more magnificent scale, at the same point, annually, in which every county of Northeast Georgia will be specially repre sented—to say nothing of what would natu rally flow in from other sections of the coun try ? The Value of Game and the Necessity of Protecting it. A writer in the Turf, Field ami Farm says “the hare and rabbit crop of Great Britain is worth about $6,000,000 annually,” and the annual gai\ie rent of all the land in England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland is about tiven tij cents aiuacrc. This includes every acre of ground under cultivation also, and foots up in the aggregate enormously. True, the love of “venerie” may in many instances induce wealthy sports and amateours to pay this tax for the indulgence of their favorite pastime, hut the actual value of the game destroyed forms the main item in the calculation. We see this illustrated in our own country, where rabbits, squirrels, opossums, and even small birds, such as doves, robbins, larks, par tridges and rice birds command ready sale at high rates, and venison, canvas-backed ducks and woodcock are eagerly sought after at fancy prices. Hence the great necessity for adequate game laws for the protection of the feathered tribe during the period of incubation, and in the breeding season of animals. The same should be made appli cable to fish, also, when ascending the rivers for the- purpose of spawning. Every source of human food should be jealousy watched and guarded, as the earth grows more popu lous, arid the necessity for an increased sup ply becomes constantly more apparent. Will our legislators give heed to the suggestion?— Tel. <sr Messenger. i.iPTHE Baptists of the state have wisely organised a fund to provide for the aged and needy members of their ministry.

Kerosene Oil, 25 cents per gallon, at Kilgore’s stand, Athens. “COLD FOR COTTON.” The Rome Courier suggests a plan-by which, in its opinion, the great staple of the South could be relieved from its dependence on Northern capital and speculation, and be sold for gold, thus extricating our section from the financial embarrasements of the country. We copy its suggestion below, and think that it could be made to work successfully if there were no legal obstacles in the way. But the question arises, would not the “State certificates” which it proposes, and which would have to be used as currency to answer the immediate wants of cotton planters, be regarded as “bills of credit,” which the Federal constitution prohibits the States from issuing? We do not know that any precedent or decision makes such paper bills of credit, but we ask the questiton. I The following is the Couriers plan : “If the cotton States could be induced to unite in the passag of an act in each State allowing the issuing of State certificates to farmers for their cotton, a sort of home cur rency to be used by them, and keep the cot ton in warehouses until the demand of Europe for the staple should bring their ships to our porti to take it away for the gold, it would place our cotton in the hands of our own people, and result in securing to them higher prices paid in specie funds. Such an act would require a State agency at all the cotton markets, the duty of which would be to receive the cotton as it is brought to market, sample it and issue the State certificates to an amount sufficient to relieve the immediate wants of the farmers until the cotton is sold and the gold received for it and the certificate taken up and the farmers paid the full value for their cotton in specie. This suggestion might be more elaborated and shaped into a wise enactment for the protection of our farming interests, the resumption of specie payments as in California and Texas, and build up our section instead of allowing our main profits to fall into the hands of the North, which has managed that power to depress and impoverish the cotton States.” We apprehend (says the Columbus Enqui rer,) that the safest and most legitimate way of obtaining gold for cotton and thus promo ting our commercial independence, is by State nrrd individual encouragement to schemes of direct trade, such as those under taken by the Grangers and advocated by Dr. Worrall. During the late sectional war, the State of North Carolina engaged successful in direct trade, under extraordinary difficul ties, by employing vassels in blockade run ning, It would hardly do for the Southern States to own and run a sufficient number of vessels to carry our cotton to Europe and bring back the manufactures and other goods of that country, but it is a question well worth} 7 of consideration at this time whether Georgia and other Southern States might not advantageously aid in the inauguration of a direct trade enterprise, which, when fairly started, would be very apt to sustain itself. A Corner in Bacon. It is now evident that a corabinaton of speculators are endeavoring to control the meat market. This accounts for the simultaneous advance in prices and activity of the markets of all the great cities of the .West. They have run up the price of sides i about two cents per ponnd within the last three days, and may run it up still higher before the week closes. * * * A sug gestion made to- us by one of our grocery as to the course which the far mers of the South ought to pursue in this emergency, seems to us disinterested and sensible. He thinks that the rise cannot long be maintained, and that the way to break the corner quickest is to send as small orders as possible to the West for bacon. Let the people of the South buy sparingly of bacon until they see the end of this gam bling speculation. If our merchants have to replenish their stocks at present prices, the} 7 must of course continue to charge ad vanced rates even after the Western makets break. We believe that they comprehended that it is neither to their interest nor* to that of their customers to send heavy orders to the Western cities while the game of the bulls and the bears is being played. Fortu nately the season of the year is near at. hand when fresh meats can advantageously be used, and we believe that there will be bet ter economy in making use of them now than in waiting until the Western meat mar kets decline again. —Columbus Ene/uirer. IdP*"At the latest reports from them, a mob in Ohio were apparently on the eve of trying to see whether they could not by “two wrongs make a right.” They hung a man named Shell, at Bellfontaine, for the bmtal murder of a young girl. His chief accuser was his wife, who stated that he had confessed the crime to her. The girl, when her body was found, had clutched in her hand some hair, which she had apparently torn from the head of her murderer. No close examination was made of this hair at the time—only enough to show that in color it resembled Shell’s. Shell protested to the last that he was inno cent, and said that his wife had murdered the girl, through jealousy. After Shell had been hung, a more particular examination was made, when it was found to be coarser than his and twice as long as any in his head, but it resembled his wife’s in every respect. In addition to this, the leaders of the mob then recollected that they found no scratch or bruise about Shell, though the murdered girl had evidently fought desperately. It was thought that the mob would hang Mrs. Shell, to remedy the wrong done in hanging her husband. —Telegraph 4* Messenger. tdPMcDermed sells the cheapest Oil and Lamps, at Kilgore’s stand, Athens.

Oct, 7th, with the church in Washington, Wilkes county, Gft. The opening sermon was preached 1 by the last Moderator, Rev. Henry Newton, from the text—“ Feed the church of God, which lie hath purchased with His own blood.”—Acts, 20—28. Cos?. J. A. Bilfnps, Elder of the Madison church, was elected Moderator, and H. D. Smith, Elder of the Bethany church, was chosen temporary Clerk. The meeting was most harmonious and pleasant; and iihe churches were reported to be in peace and prosperity. Most of the churches reported considerable additions during the last six months. Elder H. D. Smith was examined on Theol ogy, with a view tojys licensure to preach the Gospel, and he was directed to prepare a popular lecture and a sermon, to be delivered before the Presbytery at its next meeting, as parts of trial for licensure, at which time he will doubtless receive his license to preach. After a very satisfactory examination on Theology, church-government and the sacra ments, Rev. Robert Neal Smith, of Jackson county, was ordained to the full work of the Gospel ministry. The next meeting of the Presbytery will be held with the church in Eatonton, embracing the 2d Sabbath in May next. A petition, signed by about twenty persons, was laid before the Presbytery, requesting to be organized into anew church at Gills Ville, and a committee, consisting of Rev. G. H. Cartledge, Rev. T. P. Cleveland and Rev. R. W. Milner, and Elders David K. King and James McDonald, were appointed to consti tute and organize the church, if, in the judg ment df the committee, the way seemed clear for anew organization. G. 11. Cartledge. Jefferson, Ga., Oct. 14 th. 1875. Suicide of J. T. Heard. Convicted of an Assault and Sentenced. He Resolves on Death and takes the Fatal Draught. The reading public are already familiar with the arrest, about the 6th of last month, of J. T. Heard, a drummer for a Drug house in Atlanta, charged with an assault with in tent to rape two little girls in the town of Conyers, on the Georgia Railroad. The lit tle girls were daughters of Mrs. Chamberlain, who keeps a hotel at that place. From the Atlanta Constitution of the 12th inst., we get . t ° the following particulars of the trial, convic tion, sentence and suicide of the unfortunate man. Conyers, Ga., October 10, 1875.—-The great case of the State against Jas. T. Heard, charged with an assault with intent to rape has been tried and terminated most tragical ly and terribly, late Saturday night. , The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of an as sault. lie was then sentenced to pay a fine of SI,OOO, all costs, and six months in jail. Heard had been very gloomy and despond ent all day Saturday, and although aware that his able counsel would use every effort to obtain anew trial, he made the remark that he could not live under the suspense. Some time after midnight he was seen to take something from his vest pocket and drop it into a glass of water. The bailiff in charge thought it was medicine, and paid no atten tion to it. In a short time it became evident that something was wrong with the prisoner, and aid was summoned, but with no avail. Speechless, and without leaving either expla nation or message to his family, the misera ble man lingered until 4 o’clock. Sunday morning, when death put an end to his suffer ings. The intelligence of the suicide shocked the community not a little. Everybody wanted Heard punished, if guilty, and that question had been settled by the verdict of an impar tial jury ; but nobody felt any desire to have him suffer any other penalty than that pre scribed by law. Thus ends one of the most shocking cases that ever excited this or any other communitv. In giving the details of the trial, the Con stitution, among other incidents, relates the following singular circumstances : During Gen. Gartrell’s speech for the de fence it is stated that he quoted the following, being tiie 21st verse of the 22nd chapter of Exodus: “Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” Judge Floyd, for the state, following Gen eral Gartrell, in his address, took up the quo tation and supplemented it with tfie 22d, 23d, and 24th verses, as follows : “22. Ye shall not afflict any widow, Or fa therless child. h “23. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cr} T at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry : “24. And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword ; and your wives shall be widows, and your children father less.” The tragic ending of Heard’s life, coming in such quick succession upon these matters, recalled the above quotations vividly to the minds of all who heard them, as the girls upon whom it was alleged the attempt was made are fatherless, and Heard leaves a liv ing wife and two interesting children, thus widowed and orphaned. TIIE SUICIDES. In the house where Heard died, only a few months ago the son of Mr. Mayfield died also, after having fired a ball into his brain, while standing in the public street. His purpose, too was self destruction. Later reports of the condition of the per sons poisoned at the Dalton wedding show that the consequences were far more serious than previous accounts led us to believe. Mrs. Boring, a white lady, and Susan Wilson, colored, died on Wednesday from the effects of the poisoning, and three other negroes were then believed to be in a dying state. The negroes had eaten remnants of the sup per. It was feared that there would be yet more deaths. Master David Farmer, of this cit}”, is the owner of a magnificent collection of eggs, numbering several hundred, and including every size, from the humming-bird’s to the ostrich’s.

Elias Turner, of Wilcox county, feeds salt every few days to his hogs, and by this means has effectually prevented cholera. Salt is no doubt an excellent preventive. • ‘A sad affair occurred at a wedding in Dal ton last week, where a number of persons were poisoned by custard flavored with peach kernels. Four or five have died, and a num ber of others are in a critical condition. A Middle Georgia man, very aged and pious, died the other day. Just before he died, however, he called up his son-in-law and gave him some parting advice. “My son,” said he, “ continue to preach and raise sheep.” The number of partridges this season seems, from present indications, to be con siderably below the average. The bags made by our sportsmen since the opening of the season, October Ist, have been very unsatisfac tory.—Athens Georgian. The negotiations for iron to lay on the Elberton Air-Line road are progressing, and the Gazette thinks a point has been reached in which a successful completion of the road is rcasonabty certain.

Turk, died in Banks county recent ly, at the remarkable age of 107 years. We learn that her old master had her decently interred—he and numbers of whites attend ing the funeral.

The American Grocer, of the 2d inst. says that Georgia peeled dried peaches continue to arrive freely, and sell readily for fifteen cents for medium, and sixteen cents for prime.
