The reported case of Varioloid is
well. None ‘of the members of the
family have taken the diseaso. We
therefore feel assured that our friends
from the country need feel no alarm ;
for we believe all danger of the spread
of the disease has passed. Should any
other case occur, we will promptly no
tify the public.

A Very Sad Accident.
Mr. A. F. Sitnms, of this place, had
his leg broken on Saturday last by the
morning train to Union Point. About
two miles from the city, he was dis
covered by our veteran engineer, Mr.
Janies Galloway, walking down the
track. Instantly the whir-tie sounded
the alarm, and “down breaks” was
given, but ns Mr. Simms was entirely
deaf, he was thrown by the cow-catch
er high up on the bulk-head and re
tained his position until the train was
stopped. l)r. R. M. Smith rendered
prompt attention, and believes his
limb can be saved.

During the visit of a Dramatic

of the Ochestra alone, made his appear
ance. Just before the rising of the
drop-curtain, ye above mentioned lead
er took his seat in front of the stage
and executed a lively tune upon his
violin. A young lady in the audi
ence to her Beau remarks: “Where
is the Ochestra ?” The dashing gallant
responds at once: “ He is the Or
chestra J"
Wc are reminded by this incident
of an actor, who came upon the stage
to open the play. Noticing the empty
benches in his front, be asks the door
keeper where is the audience. “He
has gone out to take a drink!” was
the leady response.

“Tobiathy Cross,” ye Congo, was
so troubled in his conscience for en
deavoring to destroy the flour and

Flemming & Pendleton, that he could
not contain himself, so he went and
told his troubles to “Miss Mary Walk

went and whispered the same to “vc

been sold to Ben. W. Rumney, cotton

The Pig Serenade.
We have a law requiring ye hog to
be confined within the lots of their re
spective owners. “Excuse hnsto and
a bad pen,” was no doubt the exonsc
of ye Piggies when they left home a
few days ago, to find a precarious ex
istence on our muddy highways. But
the law is inexorable, and the “Cops”
are soon on the war-path.
The Band Wagon, one by one col
lected its musicians, and then the
melody commenced—E flat, C sharp,
and all the conglomerate notes, from
major and minor swinetts swelled out
on the midnight air. Refreshments
were furnished, but the driver of the
wagon appropriated the heavier por
tion of the fluids for himself.

If our Fair Associations in Georgia
would but offer the above-mentioned
colossaj premium, every farmer in our
State would surely make -the attempt
to' raise a portion of his “plantation
supplies”—at least, so far as regards
that of bacon. U-4H \
There now seems, to exist such an
antipathy among our people for swine,
(at least, whilst they are alive,) 'that
it would seem they were recognized as
fiercely carniverous animals, and very
dangerous to control. Bnt no sooner
are they slain by tbe blood-thirsty
butchers of St. Louis, Louisville and
Cincinnati, and carefully pa deed—
with What courage are they approach-
erf the ’famalic devotees of king
cotton! ' '• •»! ‘
Seated in the office of his commis
sion merchant, the farmer having al
ready allowed his Agricultural Congos
to dictate the pitching of his crop on a
basis- of almost exclusive cotton cul
ture, pledges “ a lien” on his cotton
bales, or even mortgages his farm, in
order to enjoy the juicy contents of the
bacon -cask before him. *: Fed by the
Western farmer, flic Southern farmer
following exclusive cotton culture,
must forever he a slave.
“ Pig Culture” is one of our means
of safety. Yet, .to commence again
this long-ahnndoned pursuit, seems al
most a herculean task—for in some of
our Agricultural districts, “ye swine”
has become so completely extinct, that
it is rumored “ old John Robinson,”
on his next tour South, proposes to
add this animal to his Menagerie of
living curiosities.
The “ Essex” and the “ Berkshire”
are to-day, far more valuable to our
people than the ferruginous pigs of
Cherokee, Georgia, or the Golden
Sands of the Chestntee.
Nearly all of our farmers are “pig
headed" on this subject. Only intro
duce tlic subject ot “ pork, or bacon,”
and the ready response is, “ We can’t
raise lings in Georgia.”
How many of our farmers who so
report, have made the experiment
within the past twelve months? We
are sure if they had used the necessary
economy on their farms, they could at
least, have raised a few pi/73, if not
successful in hog-raising on a larger
scale.

Athens. Equity, from Clarke.
In this case the complainant allege*
that he owns a tract of land, situate
one mile and a half from the centre of
the city of Athens, (though within its
corporate limits) which land is us-nI
solely for agricultural purposes, and
not for any purpose connected within
the municipal corporation, hut upon
which ho is compelled to ptv annually
to said city a tax of S'.'ft, and that the
res(llt is to take Li- private property
for public n*e,-and, therefore, the act
allowing his land to Ik* taxed bv said
citv is unconstitutional. Held, that it
is within tlie province of tlie Legisla
ture to define the liniitsof a municipal
corporation and delegate to tlie cor
poration tlie right to tax property
therein, and the Courts*',can not inter
fere where the law-making power acts
within the scope of its authority.

information I have in my possession ! generously bestowed on the old firm in

pot heretofore furnished, relating to
affairs in the Senate of Arkansas” I
will venture to express the opinion that
all the testimony shows that in the
election of 1872 Joseph Brooks was
lawfully elected Governor of that
State; that he has been unlawlully
deprived of the possession of his office
since that time; that in 1874 the con-
stitution'of the State was by violence,
intimidation, and revolutionary- pro-
ceedirtgs Overthrown, and a new con
stitution adopted and a new State gov
ernment established. These proceed-
sngs, if permitted to stand, practically
ignore all rights by minorities in all
the States; also, what is there to pre
vent each of the States recently re-ad-
mitted to federal relations, on certain
conditions, from changing their con-
shtiitipns and violating their pledges.
If this action in Arkansas is acquiesced
in, I respectfully submit whether a
precedent so dangerous to the stability
of State government if not of the na
tional! goverment, also, should he re
cognized hy Congress. I earnestly ask
that Congress will take definite act! n
in this matter to relieve the Executive
from acting upon questions which
should be decided by the legislative
branch of the government.

Columbus linics, who gave little heed
to the farming interest will “stand
amazed when they aro told that nine-
tenths of the farmers within a radius
of fifty miles of Columbus, will be

terially lessen their farms this year,

the neighboring capitalists.” "

Mr., McAfee, of Lee county,
returned to his seat iu the House yes
terday, after an absence of a few davs.
The political honors which he \von
with such becoming dignity prior to
•his visit home, now pules in consider
ation oi the self-importance he feels as
a paterfamilias. Had the little stranger
from .Heaven lieen a bov, in the year
2000 he would, doubtless, have been
an able member of the Georgia Legis
lature, but, being a girl, the happy
father has wisely determined to settle
on her his per diem and mileage, in
•the way of a sinking fund to buy her
a piano. Our compliments fb “Miss

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
A few short months ago, when we organized the
Merchants Exchange «»t Athens, we did not n*k
liicstioti, “who of the number present wilt
gathered to the land where the thick
ows lie?” i’ertainly if it had booh asked, the
one whose d * th we u«w mourn, aud to whose
worth we desire t«» otTer this feeble tribute, would
not have been selected. Ju-*t past the meridian
of life, his physical Lame gave no evidence of the
infirmities that gather with increasing years, and
were it not for thesingul r character of the disc ise
that caused bis death, the prediction of many
years yet to come, might have bt en fulfilled.
His whole life h ul l>cen peculiarly peaceful and
sercue, like some majestic river, whoso channel
ever deepening iu the quietude of a happy home,
it could not retted ought upon its placid aurfaeo
but what wa» bright, an 1 would not let the cares
au*l annovancett *•( dailv life lash it into angry
turbulence, but swept calmly on, bearing it* un-
told wealth of virtues until lost iu tho Sea of
Eternity. . , . ,, . , , , ,
Singularly retiiiug and modest, U;s inendship
was never ohstrusi ve; it must lie.sought lor*.and
wbeu it ami the confidences attending it was
given, it was an honor Indeed. We can not as
sociate with such a character without feelin'? Its
genial influence, and hence we offer the following
r. solutions : •
JlfMolretf, That in the-death of our fellow mem
ber, Wamon ll.jOtUFFKTi!, the Merchants Ex
change baa lost %rolued memltcr. ana the com
munity a merchant whose integrity aud moRd
worth eoitbl not bv surpassed. . ,
JfrxvlrrJ, That we tender to the afflicted faulty
oursympithv in their great s*»rrow.
Ji'solrrd, That as > further testimony of our re-
rml, we will insnlbe this nreamble end resolu
tions on our record 1*> »k, an«l the members of the
Exchange will wear a mourning badge for thirty
