A “Cyclone” of Pic Nics
Is about to burst upon our good townspeople
and those of the “ regions round about.” At
Maysville, next Tuesday, the monster "Jubi
lee of the season comes off. Then, on Fri
day following, as we have been told, the
"beauty and talent” of Martin Institute, to
gether with the friends and patrons of this
time-honored institution, mix and mingle in
the festivities of their annual “gala day” at
McLusters Mill, some two or three miles
north of Jefferson, Then, furthermore, at
Thompson’s Mill, on the day following— Sat
urday the sth—the Grangers and Good Tem
plars of that "parish,” combined, we believe,
meet en masse, to spend a day in the pleasant
interchange of opinions and healthful recre
ation and enjoyment around the festive bas
ket. It is expected that several—if not a
good man}’ —short speeches will be made
I during the day at.this latter place.
Rev. Z. B. Graves.
Quite a congregation of our citizens as well
as a goodly number from the surrounding
country, assembled at the Presbyterian and
Baptist church on Sunday forenoon to listen
to the ministration of the “ word” from this
young and talented divine. And we believe
we but express the sentiments of all who
heard him on the occasion, when we say the
impression made upon those present was
highly Mr. Graves throws his
whole soul in his efforts in behalf of his Mas
ter ; is most happy in his illustrations, and
at times eloquent in an eminent degree, in
the presentation of his theme to his auditory.
In the afternoon lie had an appointment to
preach for the colored people at their recent
ly erected church edifice, and at night he
again met his brethren and friends at the
Presbyterian church. While, as a matter of
course, it is not expected that so young a
man as Mr. Graves will wield such a power
and influence—generally speaking—*over an
entire community, as an older "head,” still,
we congratulate our worthy friends of the
Presbyterian denomination in securing the
services—at least for a while—of so able and
devoted an advocate and “Soldier of the
Cross.”
In conclusion, we beg pardtm for express
ing our admiration of two features exhibited
in the ministrations of onr young friend on
the occasions referred to above. He begins
at the time appointed, and quits " when he
gets done.”
Mr. David C. Fowler,
Of Clarke county, has received the appoint
ment of Dep. Collector of Internal Revenue
for the counties of Jackson, Clarke and Oco
nee, they being part and parcel of the second
district. AVe have never had the pleasure of
a personal acquaintance with Mr. Fowler, but
his family connections, as well as Mr. Fowler
himself, are well known, we presume, in
this county, and from all the "lights before
us" we hazard nothing in saying we believe
the appointment a good one. Mr. F. is “one
of usa Christian gentleman whose princi
ples will not be swerved one wa} r or another
by his official station, and whose honor and
probity is acknowledged wherever he is
known.
From Oglethorpe Court,
AVhich commenced its Spring session last
Monday week, we hear that in the case of
the Senior Eberhart, (John.) the Jury gave in
a verdict of “ not guilty,” as to the Stribbling
murder. The case against Jake Eberhart,
(son oftlie above.) same charge, was dismissed,
while the case of the State vs. John N. Eber
hart, (another son) for the murder of Dr.
Stribbling was continued. On Saturday or
Saturday night last, Luke Johnson, the lead
er of the Crawford negro rioters was found
guilty of “assault with intent to murder.”
The trial of the remainder of the rioters (in
bulk) was to commence on Monday last.
Dr. Crawford W. Long,
Of Athens, while in town lust week, honored
ns with a call. From the Dr. we learn that
himself and son have become the “heads” of
the long established Drug House formerly
known as “Longs,” and still more recently
as the firm of “ Longs & Billups.” Dr. Long
is very well and most favorably known in
this section ; the establishment of which he
is now “Senior,” has a wide reputation for
dealing in pure Drugs and Medicines, and
the new firm are most respectfully commend
ed to all who may desire any article—large
or small—wholesale or retail—in their line.

EdSpThrough private sources as well as
from the Athens papers, we learn that quite

gentle wooings of the “Spirit”—“ceased to

UsPWhy are people late at church ? We

ready and go to church.” On the other hand,
a minister should always open his service
punctually at the hour appointed, and not
wait till twelve o'clock, when the exercises
should commence at eleven. AA r e do not
intend these remarks for any special locality;

In the case of AVilson Vs, the State, which
went up from Morgan county, the Supreme
Court of Georgia seem to intimate that seduc

of a virtuous unmarried female pending an
engagement to marry in consequence of a
repetition of such promises, and the reliance
of the woman upon the plighted faith of her
lover. AA'e think the Supreme Court is right,
and that there is very little difference between
the woman who sells her person in considera

OBITUARIES.
Mrs. Nancy Williamson (whose maiden name
was Hardy,) was born 20th September, 1818, died
suddenly, in Jefferson, April 18th, 1877.
In the demise of this lady, the brightest “ orb”
of an interesting and devoted household lias "gone
out” forever. In her death, her children have lost
a most tender and affectionate mother ; her hus
band a consecrated and dutiful wife; the church
one of its brightest examplers, and society a
member whose every effort was to lend her influ
ence to all objects having a tendency to induce
neighbors and friends to adopt the “ golden rule”
of “ doing to others as you would they should do
unto you.” Long years ago, she embraced reli
gion and united herself with the Methodist church
during a Camp-meeting at Dry Pond ; and from
that time till the day of her death, was ever a con
stant attendant on the “ word” preached, and also
rendered a punctual obedience to all the obliga
tions required in her relations to the church of her
choice. She was indeed a "help-meet” in the
religious government and instruction of her chil
dren and family, and often took the place of her
husband in the services of family worship. On
the Sunday, previous to her sudden death on Wed
nesday, some of the family were detained longer
than usual in getting ready for church, when one
of her daughters remarked, “ 1 wish they would
come on !” Mrs. Williamson replied. "Aon arc
in a hurry for them to come, and T have read
twelve chapters in my Bible this morning.”
The health of our deceased sister had not been
good for some time previous, but in the morning
of the day on which she was so suddenly taken
away, she stated to some of her family that she
felt unusually well. She had been to visit a sick
lady, and was returning home, with the expecta
tion of going, almost immediately, to prayer
meeting, when the unerring " messenger” over
took her.
In the loss of this, onr sister and friend, we
mourn, but not as those " without hope ;” and we
cannot but he impressed, in this sad instance, as
well as others constantly occurring, with the ter
rible warning, so often thundered, as it were, in
our ears—" Be ye also read)/."
" Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
from henceforth ; Yea. saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labors; and their works do
follow them.” A Friend.
Died, at his residence. Jackson county, on the
12th inst.. Mr. James Rogers, from heart anc lung
disease. He passed away in his sixty-ninth year;
he was taken stek in the field, while at work, and
on reaching the house remarked to the family ’‘he
had given out for the last time,” which proved to
he the c ase, for he was not permitted to sec his
desired farm again. Ik* was confined to his bed
three weeks; possessed the greatest patience dur
ing his sickness, and through life was a pattern of
industry, morality and piety. This noble and
generous man was one of our best citizens, and
his presence will be greatly missed in his family
and neighborhood. Our dear friend was perfectly
resigned to the will of His heavenly faihei*; he
spoke these words to the writer a few days before
his death—" 1 know that Jesus can make a dying
bed feel soft as downy pillows are,” and I feel T
can " lean my head on his breast, and breathe my
life out sweetly there.*’ Let us admire the rich
grace of that Saviour who has provided such
strong and blessed consolation for the believer in
the hour of death. Our deceased brother was
heard to repeat, distinctly, the word "glory,”
three times just before he died. How well are
the feelings of the departing Christian, who is
cheered and consoled by the sight of those glo
rious mansions looming through the mists of the
" dark valley” expressed by these beautiful lines:
" My heavenly home is bright and fair,
Nol* pain nor death can enter there;
Its glittering towers the sun outshine.
That heavenly mansion shall be mine.”
Owing to the inclemency of the day, on Friday,
the burial was postponed until Saturday, 14th.
The funeral services took place at " Academy
church,” and were conducted by Rev. AY. IT.
Bridges, from Rev. 14—13. Our friend leaves a
kind companion and eight children and a host of
relatives and friends to mourn his death ; but our
loss is his eternal gain, lie was an acceptable
member of the Baptist church for over 38 years.
The surviving relatives have our deepest sympa
thy in their bereavement. B.
Departed this life, in Jackson county. Ga., 20th
March. 1877. Hiram Silas Stewart, aged 14 years.
11 months.
The deceased was a pupil of the writer in 1873.
and he can bear abundant testimony to his noble
3ualities of heart and mind. Reserved and mo
est in manner, correct in habit, he intuitively
won the admiration and esteem of all with whom
he came in contact. As was repeatedly remark
ed. his general demeanor was that of one conside
rably advanced in years. Had he been spared to
manhood, he would have been the pride and hon
or of his now disconsolate parents and relatives.
But while in the bloom of youth Death's stern
sheriff came and took him away to the realms of
the blessed, and angel cohorts guarded him home.
May the L;rrd minister to his hcart-strickcn rela
tives and friends in this their sad hour of bereave
ment. A Friend.

DR. TUTT'S
EXPECTORANT.
This unrivaled preparation has per
formed some of the most astonishing
cures that are recorded in the annals of
history. Patients suffering for years from
the various diseases of the Lungs, after
trying different remedies, spending thou
sands of dollars in traveling and doctor
ing, have, by the use of a few bottles,
entirely recovered their health.
“WON’T 00 TO FLORIDA.”
New York, August 30,1872.
DR. TUTT:
Dear Bir.-—When in Aiken, last winter, I used your
Expectorant for my cough, and realized more benefit
from it than anything I ever took. lam so well that
I will not go to Florida next winter as I intended.
Send me oae dozen bottles, by express, for some
friends. ALFRED CUSHING.

Boston, January 11,1874.
This certifies that 1 have recommended the use of
Dr.Tutt’s Expectorant for diseases of thelunga
for the past two years, ana to fay knowledge many
bottles have been used by my patients with the hap
piest results. In two cases where itwa3 thought con
firmed consumption had taken place the Expectorant
effected a cure. H. H. SPR Ag UE, M.D.

Constitution has won for itself the title of the
leading journal of the South. Its cntCfpri.se.* dur
ing the recent election excitement, in scuding cor-*
respondents to different portions of the country,
and its series of special telegrams from Washing
ton While the Electoral Commission was engaged
in conaumaiing the fraud that placed Radicalism
once more in power in our National Councils, are
evidences conspicuous enough to prove that no ex-'
pense will be spared to make TUK CONSTITUTION
not only a leader in the discussion of matters of
public concern, but a leader in the dissemination
of the latest and most reliable new*. There is no
better time than now to subscribe for
A I'reKh mid Yigorou<i Newspapef*.
Albeit, there has been a qiiaai settlement ofonf
of the most difficult and dangerous problems of
modern Federal politics, the discussions springing
therefrom and the results likely to ensue have lost
nothing of their absorbing interest. In addition
to this, the people of Georgia are now called upon
to settle
Tin' Cotereatian Question,
and in the discussion of this important subject (in
which The CONSTITUTION will take a leading
part) every Georgian is interested. If a Conven
tion is called, its proceedings will find their earli
est and fullest embodiment in the columns of The
Constitution, and this fact alone will make the
paper indispensable to every citizen of the State.-
fo be brief,
The Asia 12 1 Shdly CbnMfttiiifoit
will endeavor, by all the means that the' progress
of modern journalism has made possible and neces
sary. to hold its piace ns a lender ol Southern opin
ion and as a purveyor of the latest news. Its ed
itorials will be thoughtful, timely and vigorous—
calm and argumentative in their methods and
thoroughly Southern and Democratic in their
sentiments. Tts news will b<* fresh, reliable and
carefully digested. It will be allert and enter
prising. and no expense will be spared to make it
the medium of the latest and most important in
telligence.
