IMPROVED SHEEP AND SWINE. ’ •
Our enterprising friend and fellow-cHizej),
John B. O’Shields, Esq., lias two very Anc
rams of the Merino and Cots wold pitre-bred
stock. The former of these yielded 8 pounds,
and the latter 8 { pounds of wool at a shearing
a few days since. The wool is of the finest
appearance .and texture, being, in our judg
ment, far superior to that of the ordinary
sheep. This gentleman has, also, a Poland
China pig, 5 months old, which, will weigh,
gross, nearly 200 pounds. Our farmers
should give more attention to the improved
breeds of stock. Progress is the watqh-wofrl
of the age, and tlic destiny of our race.
The Court House question is rarelv spoken
% * *
of over this way. Most of those whom we
have heard express an opinion will vote “No
Bonds,” but some who are really opposed to
the building of anew Court House will vote
“For Bonds,” fearing that, in case of the
defeat of the present plan, the Ordinary will
levy a direct tax for the purpose. These
fears, whoever may entertain them. are. in
our judgment, ill-grounded. In the first
place, we are under the impression that an
Act was passed during the last session of
the General Assembly, prohibiting the levy
ing of more than fifty per cent, upon the
State tax for County purposes. Secondly,
if we are mistaken in tiiis, we certainly be
lieve that our excellent Ordinary, in the
event the people should vote “No Bonds,”
would have too high a respect for the voice
of the masses to take farther action in the
premises.
Apropos of Mr. Ross’ woolly calf, we learn
that recently, on the premises of Mrs. Ham
mond, a ewe gave birth to a pair of horned
lambs—the horns being 2 or 3 inches long.
This way, Mr. Van Amburgh, if you desire
to enlarge your collection of zoological curi
osities.
We frequently hear the name of Colonel
Emory Speer most favorably spoken of in
connection with Congressional honors.—
There is no truer Democrat anywhere than
Mr. Speer—in fact, he is the great exponent
of the real principles of Democracy. When
Radicalism was alive ‘ in this District, with
his great talents lie dealt it the heaviest
blows, and the O’Neals and the Akermans
cowered like whipped spaniels under his
lash. The very soul of honor—always the
fearless, outspoken champion of the weak
and the oppressed—the peer of any man in
the State of equal age in the Court House or
on the hustings—skilled in the knowledge of
Constitutional law, and our Federal system,
energetic, ambitious, well indeed does lie
deserve the encomium of “The Youg Com
moner.” The Ninth District could send no
man to Congress who would honor himself
or his constituents more. Dixie.
Beech Creek , April , 1878. V
[communicated.]
General Conference of the 81. E. Church,
South.
This body, one of the most important in
ecclesiastical matters, and the highest legis
lative and judicial convocation in the Metho
dist Episcopal Church, South, convened in
Atlanta on the Ist instant. This is the ninth
session since the division of the M. E. Church
—the first being held in Petersburg, Va., in
1846—and the second session ever held in
Georgia—the first being held in Columbus,
in 1854, at which time Bishop George F.
Pierce was elected to that office.
This Conference is a delegated body, com
posed of an equal number of ministers and
laymen from the several Annual Conferences,
in proportion to the number of members in
the respective Conferences, the ratio of rep
resentation being one clerical member for
every twenty-eight memliers of an Annual
Conference, and an equal number of lay rep
resentatives, one-fourth of whom may be local
preachers. There are thirty-seven Annual
Conferences, reaching from Maryland to
Texas, and from Georgia to Oregon, and with
his basis representation, there is in all 300
lelegates. besides the seven Bishops. The
object of this stated convocation of ministers
and laymen is to look after the several inter
ests of this branch of the Christian Church,
and this body has full power to make rules
and regulations for the Church, under certain
limitations and restrictions.
Very important matters will come before
the General Conference for consideration.
It is very likely that at least one Bishop will
be elected, if not two—the necessit}' arising
from the death of the late lamented Bishop
E. M. Marvin and the failing health of other
Bishops. At present, there are seven Bishops,
none of whom are young men, and whose
labors arc more arduous than anj r other class
of ministers in the Church.
The question of making some modification
in the office of the Presiding Elder has been
seriously agitated in the Churoh papers, and
will doubtless be the occasion of considerable
discussion during the session of the Confer
ence. At this time, it is difficult to state
what will be the final issue, but it is not prob-.
able that any very great alteration will l>e
made in tlte present law.
The rcceptiou of fraternal delegates from
several Methodist bodies in the world was a
very interesting feature of the occasion, and
will tend to bring into closer fraternal and
■ Christian relationship these several bodies
holding the same doctrines which Jobfl Lesley
taught, but differing in Church polity ; and
uause them to be more united than ever, in
sentiment and purpose, in spreading the Gos
pel. The question of the re-union of the
Northern and Southern branches of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church will not be agitated.
Organic union of the two branches is neither
desirable nor practicable, and whatever is
said or done will have for its object only the
restorntldff rtnd perpetuation of fraternal feel
ings between these two bodies, and not or
ganic union, as some ha/e supposed.
Other matters of importance will come be
fore the Conference for action, and will re
ceive the consideration their merits deserve’
—prominent among which will be the subject
of foreign missions, and the propriety of send
ing out additional missionaries, and raising
more means for this cause.
The fact that this is the only law
body in the.M. E. Church, South, and that it
only convenes once in four years, gives it a
degree of importance with which other Meth
odist convocations are not invested, and
| creates, in the minds of Methodists a deep
and abiding interest in all of its sessions and
deliberations.
The session of the Conference will last
about three or four weeks, and will in turn
lie over by the several Bishops
presents* •• r - ‘
The delegation from the North Georgia
i Conference is a strong osie. Among the min
isters we notice tiie names of Revs. A. G.
Hay good, D.D., W. 11. Potter, D.D., Jesse
Boring, D.D., J. E. Evans, D.D., William F.
Cook, D.D., Win. P. Harrison, D.D., and
Revs. 11. J. Adams and Young G. Allen—the
last named at present a missionary in China,
He was elected as a tribute to his real worth,
and because lie will be able to give important
information concerning tlie foreign mission
ary work in China, of winch the Church has
been deprived by the death of Bishop Marvin.
His expenses to and from China will be paid
by the two Georgia Conferences.
Among the laymen elected from the North
Georgia Conference are some prominent men.
Gov. X.- 11. Colquitt heads the list; then fol
low the names of Judges G. N. Lester and E.
H. Pottle, Col. J. F. Langston, and Messrs.
J. M. Beall and T. M. Meiiwetlicr; and two
local preachers—Revs. J. Calvin Johnson and
J. 11. Grogan.
The several delegations are composed of
the ablest ministers and laymen to be found
in the land, and their discussions and decis
ions will be watched with interest.

Tribute of Respect.
The committee appointed for the purpose
of drafting resolutions of bereavement, in
memory-of our deceased brother, Milton
BAiLEY,.Tespectfnlly submit the following :
The announcement has come to us that our
brother and friend, Mr. Milton Bailey, is
no more, and though we are sensible that
mere words cannot give expression of those
sorrowful emotions which swell up from the
depths of our souls, as our minds are thronged
with tender recollections of the deceased, yet,
as members of the I. O. G. TANARUS., we feel that
we should not resist the natural impulses of
our hearts which prompt this simple tribute
to his nqble mem >ry ; therefore, be it■ ...
Revolved, That in the death of brother
Milton Bailey, the I. O. G. T. has sustain
ed the lotos of one whose bright example was
highly effective of good, and whose firm,
manty aifd conscientious course has bound us
to him by no ordinary ties of friendship.
Resolved; That in liis past life he was truly
estimable; his daily walk and conversation
was sneb, that one had but to know imn in
order to4©ve and respect him. He was an
attentive and jions| member of the Presby
terian church, giving evidence, during his ill
ness. of a willingness to die, if it were tbe
Lord's will to call him hence.
Resolved, That we deeply and affection
ately sympathize with wife and children, and
with all the relatives and friends of our de
ceased hither, in their greqt affliction.
Kesolvm, That this preamble and resolu
tions b£ in onr county paper, the
Forest^ apd a copy of tlie same be
spread npmi the minutes, and also a copy of
the same be sent t the family of the deceased.
Resolved, That each and every member of
this Lodge wear tlie usual badge of mourn
ing for at least twenty days, in token of re
spect for our deceased brother.

Tlae Antecedents of Disease.
Among the antecedents of disease are inertness
in the circulation of the blood, an unnaturally at
tenuated condition of the physique, indicating that
the life current is deficient in nutritive properties,
a wan, haggard look, inability to digest the food,
loss of appetite, sleep aad strength, and a sensa
tion of unnatural languor. All these may he re
garded as among the indicia of approaching dis
ease, which will eventually attack the system and
