D., the President! lof the Jackson County Publishing Company.! IDr. Long peacefully departed this mortal life! [at his residence in this town, on Thursday.l |2Bth inst., (Oct. 1875.) at lO.t o’clock, A. M.. 1 lafter a severe illness of eight weeks duration.! Dr. Long was born in Madison County, ba., March 19th, 1824, and consequently was Lust fifty-one years, seven months and nine ■days old at the time of his death. He was ■the third son and seventh child of Thomas ■Long, Esq., and his wife Isabella. In the] [years 1845 and 1846 he pursued the study ofi ■medicine in this town, under the tuition of] ■his cousin. Dr. Crawford W. Long, and was (graduated in March, 1847, from the Medical (College of Georgia, in the city of Augusta. (After a short course of practice in his native (county, he removed to this place, and enter | ;d into a partnership with his preceptor ; and (about the close of the year 1849, bought out | Dr. C. W. Long, who removed to the city of ■Athens, Ga, February 3d, 1850, Dr. J. D. Long was united in marriage to Miss Mary E. Wat son, of this town. They were not blessed with offspring, and she is now left a childless widow to mourn her sad bereavement. We are sure that she has the deepest and warm est sympathies of our entire community ; and we pray that the merciful God of the father less and the widow may fill her sorrowing heart with Ilis Divine consolations. In his early manhood, in 1846, Dr. Long professed his faith in the Lord Jesus, and en tered the communion of the Presbyterian Church at New Hope, in his native county,* and in 1850 he transferred his membership to Thyatira Presbyterian Church, in thiscom imunity, where it remained at the time of his death. Thus, for nearly thirty years, he had been a constant and faithful follower of his Divine Redeemer; and we doubt not but that he has already heard the voice of that! gracious Saviour saying to him—“ Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Dr. Long will be sadly missed in this com munity, in which he has resided so long, andi in which he has done so much good. Fop Imore than a quarter of a century he has done a large practice in his useful profession ; and] perhaps no man of his age has done much more than he has, to relieve the sufferings ofi [humanity and “ to cure the ills which flesh is! heir to.” And all the while, he has gone outj and in among us, in his daily deportment] affording us a beautiful illustration of the faithful, kind, urbane and dignified profes sional and Christian gentleman. But he has gone from us forever. We deeply feel our [great loss. But heaven has gained a saint; and that saint, once a toiling, suffering soul, has gained his everlasting rest and blessed] ness. “Take a Paper.” The following bit of good advice taken from our neighbor, the Gainesville Eagle , “hits the nail on the head” so completely that we copy and invite the attention of “all and singular” to its excellent teachings : Take a Paper —Every family should take one or more newspapers. The nights are now long and the family need some useful and interesting employ’meut for the evening. The wife takes an interest in the paper, and the children are not only interested, but in structed. There are now a great many good family papers published in Georgia which deserve patronage, but we think where but one paper is to be taken that should be your county paper, or the one nearest you. It is generally the more interesting because of the local matter it contains, and then we assist our neighbors and may in return be the reci pient of a favor. There is scarcely any one so poor that he cannot take a paper. It is as easy now to pa3 r for one as it ever was. The price of the paper is the same as in former years, while that of produce is greatly in creased as a general thing. If you can't pay r for a paper but three months—fifty cents— do that and renew 3 T our subscription at the end of the time. Try the experiment for just ■me year and we are satisfied your family will never be without a paper afterwards. Gambling for Futures. In his charge to the grand jury of Rich- Imond County Superior Court on Monday llast, Judge Gibson thus handled all species [of gambling and speculation : I Section 4548 of your code reads thus : [“ Any person or persons who shall sell or [offer for sale in this State (and, I take it. [Augusta is in this State) any lottery ticket [or tickets for any lottery to be drawn in this State or alsewhere, shall be subject to indictment,” &c.; and 4541) reads thus : “Itj shall not be lawful for any person in thisl State by himself or agent to sell or dispose! of any lottery ticket, or any certificate oil ticket in gift enterprise ” etc. If the spirit! lof speculation, gaming and gambling has sol [possessed our juries as to cause them to! [disregard their oaths, some other mode mustl [be provided for the enforcement of public! [laws. Sections 4589 and 4590, as to selling! [by false weights, measures and under assize.l [cannot be too rigidly enforced. The offensel [of forestalling, regrating and engrossing! [belong peculiarly to the class of games and! [gambling for futures, and to purchasers onl [secret telegrams in advance of regular dis-l [patches, etc., are considered, when success-1 pi, so genteel that its punishment must b g deferred to that tribunal where goid and! silver may not corrupt. § IN BRIEF--STA?* and general. j A Taylor county man, aged eighty-six, isg [the happy parent of a fine girl baby.

Washington,October 25.—Thirty thousand] cigars were detained, for being improperly [branded, but will be released upon showing no intention to defraud and being properly] [branded. The Cuthbert Appeal urges the repeal of [the seventy-five dollar exemption clause, be cause the revenue thus lost to the state must jbe regained by increasing the burthen of the [medium or poorer class of whites. An Athens correspondent of the Atlanta '.Constitution says that city (Athens) will soon welcome Mr. A. R. Dorsey, from Arizona, [who comes with an independent fortune in specie funds. Jennie, a negro woman who has for a long time lived in the family of Mrs. Malone, of Sugar Valley Ga., died on the 23d of last month at the remarkable old age of one hun dred and eighteen.

Butler, ;J painter residing at Goggins* station, on the] Macon and Western road, killed Frank Flint, a farmer residing near the place. Butler in flicted two wounds with a knife, one unden the left shoulder and the other in the neck, severing the jugular vein. It is said the par ties were drinking. The committee appointed by the State Bap tist Convention to locate the Baptist Female University, met in Macon, on the 21st. Quite a number of gentlemen, representing various towns, seekingthe location, were there. Among those present were Rev. S. M. Stillwell, and Dr. J. L. Hamilton, of Stone mountain. The committee postponed action until a future day. A terrible accident happened to Mr. E. G. Willingham, of Macon, during the Fair last week, that came near being fatal, though it is hoped he will recover, lie was running a [Gullet gin, when by some means his arm was [caught in the saw and nearly torn in pieces, [llis leg and body are severely lacerated, and he [will lose his arm, if the result is not even [more serious. The Macon Telegraph thus describes a pa tent wheel on exhibition at the State Fair by [Mr. John D. Ham, the Georgia inventor : “The wheel is made ou an iron hub, which is in three pieces, the hub being in two pieces, the box making the third. A spoke can be re moved and replaced without disturbing the rim. and if a box wears out it can be replaced in a moment by any one who can take off and replace a tap.” — I^Rea 1 the new advertisements on this page! ... THE STATE FAlft AT MACON [Was, according to the best information that can be gleaned from public as well as private 'sources, entirely successful as an Industrial, LMechanical and Agricultural Exposition.— And again, it was pre-eminently a success of [morality over vice and all the usual concom [itants growing out of the license heretofore [granted to horse-racing, gambling, and the [various hunired-and-one catch-penny tricks [invented to fleece the large number of young [and thoughtless who have heretofore attended [these expositions. To Gen. Colquitt, we [learn, the honor of inaugurating this “better [day” belongs, and we doubt not he has al ready received—in the minds of those who (desire to make this enterprise what it was al- Iways intended to be —the plaudit, “ well done, good and faithful servant!” Important to Owners of Cotton Gins. We publish the following with the hope that it may prove serviceable to some of those immediately interested. A large amount is Host every season, to someone, by the burn ing of cotton gins, and any suggestion having a tendency to develop these “hidden catas tropliies” ought to be thankfully received by [the public. Wiiat Ruins Cotton Gins. —Thousands bf cotton gins are needlessly injured, if not entirely ruined, bv one single cause, That cause is permitting moat or lint cotton [that is, cotton that has been onced ginned,] to be mixed with seed cotton and passed through [the saws a second time. Such lint cotton [catches in the teeth, and bends and breaks them. It also bends or breaks the ribs, wears [the boxes, and strains the whole gin so as to ■make it produce a bad sample, and speedily [becomes almost worthless. It likewise in [creases the draft so as to distress the mules [propelling the gin, and creates so much fric jtion as often to set the gin house on fire. Thus Fean be explained the burning of many a gin [house by the supposed spontaneous combus tion of cotton. lienee every owner of a gin house should [be very careful about where his inoat cotton Sis placed, also about permitting the “flyings" or “hangings” to fall on his seed cotton. Above all should he be particular in preventing the ginner or his assistant, when returning from [the lint room, after “packing the cotton back,” as it is called, from having an}* lint on his clothing. The usual assistant at agin to hand :sced cotton and “pack back” lint is a playful urchin, who delights first to wallow in the lint [room and then, without divesting himself of [the lint adhering to his clothes, next to roll [on the seed cotton. Oftentimes every boy. jblack and white, on a large plantation, after [a general frolic in the lint room, will imme diately emerge therefrom and continue then .wrestling, rolling and romping over the seed [cotton, with perhaps half a pound oflint stick ling to each one’s ragged or woolen apparel. [Such play is of course delightful to the boys, [but it is dear sport to the owners of the gin. Sin many gin houses, too, while packing cot ston for market, much lint is mixed with seed {cotton, either by carelessness or by the wind. A gin is a costly machine, but it is not ; delicate one or easily, put out of order if pre viously ginned lint is kept out of the. saws In fact, a good gin rightly managed, should — with but little sharpening and small repairs— ipick fifty hales of lint per year, and last r planter of average longevity his lifetime : [Whereas most gins become useless, or nearh so, in perhaps five years, from the single cause I have indicated. No child ever ought to lx allowed to enter a lint room where it can well be pre vented. —A wj usta Cos nstit at io nal ist. What is the Matter with the Preachers? Still another case of true inwardness [from East Tennessee. The Ilolston con ference is considering the ease of Rev. G. Im. Massey The Knoxville Press and Her- Vdd furnishes the following particulars of the alleged offense : The charge as particularized was that Mr. Massey, in company with a married lad} and a young unmarried woman, walked to gether to a house where Mr. M. performed a marriage ceremony. Returning from the house, the road being narrow and the night dark, the young lady was persuaded to go ahead so that her white dress would be a guide to the feet and a lamp to the path o r Mr. Massey and the married lady. Then it was that Mr. M., as charged, allowed his true [inwardness to overcome his piety and kissed the married lady with repeated embrace. The lady was surprised and chagrined, but made no outcry. On reaching home, how ever, she informed her husband, who com plained to the presiding elder. The result of the trial will be made known to the con ference before the adjournment. Northeastern Railroad. John W. Nicholson. Esq., has been elected President, and John Calvin Johnson re-elect ed Secretary and Treasurer of the N. E. R. R. Company*. Speaking of the road, &c., the \ Athens Georgian remarks : “The Directors are awaiting for further ad vices from the North before they proceed to [anything definite. In conversation with Mr. R. L. Moss upon the subject, this gentleman stated that could they* obtain $20,000 more, the road would undoubtedly be completed. We hope that this will soon be done.*’ IdFThere is now at the office of the Geor gia State Agicultural Society a stalk of eot fcon bearing 275 bolls, 50 squares and 15 blooms. This cotton is from the plantatiin of Mr. E. C. Greir, of Griswoldville. The seed from which it was grown was planted on the 25th day of May% The stalk is less than three feet high, but is branched out beautifully, and while the bolls are not clus tered, they* are so thichk all over the stalk that they* almost touch each other.

If, after a care tful count, postmasters at such offices find that [the sum total is 20 per cent more than they [are now receiving, they should ask the first [assistant postmaster general to make a [special readjustment, and if found correct, [they will be paid the increased salary from [the commencement of the next quarter after [notification of such readjustment has -beeq [communicated to the postmastey by’“the ►department.— At.
