Blakely, Ga., Judo 30, 1871.
Next week embraces the 4th of July,
and, as has been our custom, no paper will
issue from this office next week, except
an advertisin'; sheet, that will contain any
lato news of importance that may occur.
There will be a Sunday School Celebra
tion and Pic Nic at Bluffton on the 2d
Friday in July. The Schools and citi
sens of Blakely, Fort Gaines and Whitney
ore respectfully invited to attend. G.
We are happy to announce that the old
11. E. Church building, on the corner of
the public square, has at last been razed to 1
the ground.
The Bainhridge Sun is mistaken in sup
posing that Grouby is going into the Black- j
berry business. Like yourself, friend Hays,
something stronger than Blackberry Wine
suits him best.

Our model farm is getting in the grass.
The truth is, running a farm, publishing
a newspaper and settling up old books are
three occupations that don’t mix well to
gether. Any one of them is sufficient for
Our patience iu these non-paying times.
The effect of the recent excessive rains
is beginning to develop itself on the health
of the country. Chills and fever and bil
ious fever arc becoming common.
Our friend, Wm. J. Howell, Esq., has
bccD confined to his bed for several days
with bilious fever. We are glad to learn
that he is now convalescent. G.

Tbero is not now a single individual of
any sex or color in our jail. We suggest
that it be kept open dny and night, and
well aired. We don’t know how long it
will be before we’ll get into the institution,
nnd hence feel sn interest in its being free
from all unpleasant odors. G.
Our frieud, Col. J. J. Beck, of Morgan,
wss in our town last Monday and Tuesday.
He didn’t honor our office with a cull,
but we “ cornered” him on the streets, and
had a chat. Wc learn from him that the
cotton crop of Calhoun will be very short,
but the corn crop promises well. lie re
ports the health of the county, up to this
time, as very good. G.
While wc have no use for him, on ac
fcount of his lladical proclivities, yet we
are rejoiced to learn that George Chipstead
mode good his escape from Cuthbert jail
one night this week. Ilis offense was ouly
that of chastising a strumpet for cursing
his aged and respected mother. A man
who would stand meekly by and hear his
mother who gave him birth cursed and
abused, no matter by whom, is too mean j
and low to be respected by even a free nig
ger. We commend George Chipstead for j
this noble act, probably tho very first of
his life. G.
——— ♦ ♦ -♦
Judge Griffin, of the District Court, vis
ited our town on Monday, and with his
Usual dispatch discharged all the business
before the Court adjourned in the evening.
We consider him one of our very best
District Judges, for he is always kind,
courteous and accommodating, and has
none of the “ pomposity ” of some we know.

We have had the pleasure of being at a
Couple of tho rehearsals, and can truithf
ly say that Prof. Dozier’s School Exauii- }
nutioD to-night promises to be a complete
success. We return thanks to tho Proses- ,
Bor, W. T. Robinson, Esq., and Mrs. Mag- t
gie Bird for ’’Dixie” on the violiu and t
piano during each of our visits to the Acad
emy. G.
Judge Peter Howard has kindly tender
ed tho use of his Ilall to the old and young
of our town and vicinity on the night of
the 4th of July. It is suggested that a
social entertainment be had at tho time re- j
ferred to. We hope to see a full house,
and that cake and wine may flow iu abun
dance. - G.
Our young friend, Mr. T. J. Cartledge,
tvill have Ice Cream at the Academy to
day and to-night. Go lor it, boys—it will
bo good and cooling. G.

"That Dew Hat” we intimated as being
Wanted at the News office in our issue of
last week, was, before the paper liad gotten
fairly dry, presented to us by that clever,
wide-awake, cash, “ Democratic” business
gentleman, W. T. Robinson, Esq., and we
are now wearing it with as much grace aud
dignity as though we were a “milliouaire ”
Being an old printer himself, he knows the
trials, troubles and wants of the “craft.”
and never fails to come to their aid when
tnade aware of their necessities. We re

We are permitted to make
extract from a letter written
formed gentleman in Alban
24th, to one ot our citizens:
“The surveying party are

day. Mr. Virgil Powers w
here on Wednesday next, anu u, wm men
take them several days to determine tin
location. It is probable that this will com
mence on Monday week, and the company
may get to work by Monday two weeks.’
Judge Keils, of the Eufaula City Court
in his charge to the Graud Jury, aud his
unwarrantable assumption of authority in
the imprisonment of Mr. John Black, ol
the Eufaula News, has sown to himself the
wind, and is indeed reaping the whirl-wind.
| John seetns not to have been intimidated
by his few hours’ imprisonment, and goes
ftr his Judgeship a column at a time, wiili
a promise that the firebrand thrown into
his office shall be kept burning, and light
up his columns for days to come. That’s
right—lay the “ Black” stripes upon him
uuiil mercy bids you forbear.
But Black has a colaborer in one of the
clergymen of Eufaula. It seems that his
Honor, in his charge to the Grand Jury,
attributed much of the unrebuked and un
punished lawlessness of the times to the
unfaithfulness of the clergy. Rev. John
son C. Davis, of the Episcopal Church, re
plies to the Judge’s insinuations in away
we admire. The Judge in his charge to
the Grand Jury uses this language:
“It is well known that there are persons
around us standing ready at a minute’s no
tiee to add to the list of outrages commit
ted by their confederates elsewhere, only
waiting opportunity or excuse.”
Ilis Reverence calls upon Judge Keils
to inform him who these persons are, where
ho can find them, and hS will deal out to
them the most fearful thunders of Sinai.
Or, if many of them are not to be found
together, point him to hut one, nnd he will
face him as Nathan did David, and tell
him, “thou art the man.” “If your Hon
or fai's,” says his Reverence, “ to tell me
where these disguised assassins are, I shall
hold you before God and man as guilty in
your silence ns you hold ministers of the
Gospel in theirs.”
We hope this libelous Judge may he so
badgered by both press and people that he
may never again dare to take shelter under
his official robes and slander a respectable
community ; and may his experience be a
wholesome lesson to others in like places.
The Radicals of Ohio have nominated j
Gen. Noyes for Governor, notwithstanding ;
that profane old reprobute, Ben Wade, was
seeking the nomination. This nomination
means that the Ohio Radicals do not want
Grant for a stcond term, for it was known
that Grant favored Wade’s nomination.
Mr. W. A. McDowell and his good lady
have our thanks for a couple of fine hard
! head Cabbages, weighing a fraetion over
three pounds each. G.

md we can see uo good sense or humanity
in withholding the means for the allevia

judiciously expended for drugs would place
in the hands of physioians sufficient to
meet such wants. Let our Ordinary tike
the matter in hand, aud if he has not the

tion of the next Grand Jury to the mat
ler. G.
The Columbus Enquirer wants to know
where we got the idea that its hopes were
fixed upon Sherman. It was iu an issue
of that paper shortly after the New York
Herald urged the Democracy so strenuous
ly to nominate Sherman. We may have
put it too strong in saying the Enquirer's
hopes were fixed upon Sherman, yet the
• nference ivus plainly to be drawn that the
nomination of the “ Burner ” would be
acceptable to the Enquirer.
We received from one of our planting
friends, a few days since, a lot of green
corn cobs, from which the corn had been
stripped by the squirrels. We have no
thanks to return for these cobs, and can
only guess that they were sent to us to ex- ,
cite our sympathy. Professor, we will
stand your security for a pound of squirrel 1
shot until you sell your cotton.
The M essrs. Wade are still going ahead
with improvements on their store house, i
They are having it neatly “whitened” up i
on both the in and outside, besides having
considerable shelviug put up for the accom
modation of the heavy stock, they intend
to purchase this fall. Cleverer men are
not to be found anywhere, and we wish
them all the success they are so richly en
titled to. G.

Foster Blodgett and his private Secre
tary, Varney Gaskill, were indicted last
week by the Grand Jury of Fulton county
lor embezzling State Road fuuds. Blod
gett comes out in a letter to the Atlanta
Sun explaining the matter all away. This ;
indictment will probably go the same way
as did his perjury indictment.
We are reliably informed that Judge D.
B. Harrell has at last cut loose from the |
big Georgia Bull, the so-called Governorof
! our State. It seems that Bullhead par
| dons too many of the Judge’s convicts, and
he—the Judge—we are further informed,
1 don’t feel very safe when some of the par-
I dotted, who live in his immediate vicinity,
return home. We give this report to the

Cincinnatti mourns the death of Mr.

Grant, excessively retioent as he is, says
the Savannah Republican had a lengthy
talk with a reporter at Long Branoh a few
days ago. A knowing exchange says that
the liquor they sell there will make a man
talk in spite of himself.
Seven thousand desks for the schools of
of Mississippi were recently bought at the
price of seven dollars apiece, making a sum
total of 849,000, for which the school fund
is now to or has paid. It has been found
that identically the same desk is supplied,
elsewhere for three dollors and a half
apiece. The questiou among Mississippi
ans now is, who pocketed the 824,500 of
which the school fund was robbed in the
transaction? The Radical State Superin
tendent of Education is thought to have
had “ a finger in the pie.”
We may look for similar nonsense in
Georgia before long. Our State Commis
sioner must feather his nest in some way—
to keep pace with the times, if nothing
else.
Hon. A. H. Stephens. —Capt. A. B.
Eiland, of Crawford, Ala., spent the day
Sunday last with Hon. A. H. Stephens at
Crawfordville, Ga. We are pleased to

pounds—his weight about six months ago
being only 70 pounds. How slight a frame

It is said their constant noise is so great
that the farmers of the localities where
they most abound cannot hear the cow

! her.

What I Know About Texas.
Fort Gaines, Ga., June 25, ’7l.
Fri END Gbouby : I have returned from
Texas, after spending twenty nine days in
that rapidly growing State in the far West,
and I mighttruly say Great West. I land
ed at Galveston, and traveled by Rail to
I Houston, Hemsted, Bryan, Calvert and
Groesbeck, the present terminus of the
Houston and Texas Central Rail Road, a
distance of 230 miles from Galveston.-
From Groesbeck 1 began my prospecting
tour proper, and went in the direction cf
and along the survey locating the 11. & T.
Rail Road, to Red River, on the northern
' line of the State in Grayson county. Gray
son is a good county; so is Collin, just be
low; and Dallas, below that; and Ellis,
below Dallas county; and Navarro, below
Ellis. The finest Prarie lands I ever saw
are to be found in those counties. The
most of these lands will readily yield from
one to one and a half hales of cotton to the
acre, aod thirty to eighty bushels of corn.
Timber is scarce, hut that amounts to no
thing when you get accustomed to it. The
land is worth from two to fifty dollars per
acre, according to improvements and looa
' tion. The water is usually limestone wa-.
ter. Cistern water is mostly used for drink
ing. The range is good. The finest milch
cows I ever saw were in Limestone and
Navarro counties. But little cotton is
planted in these northern counties this year,
but corn was looking fine and prospects
were favorable for an abundant crop. C >rn
was worth, on railroads, from 1,00 to 1,50
per bushel; in tbecouutry, off the railroads,
from 50 to 75c. per bushel. Good milch
cows were worth from ten to twenty dol
lars, stock cattle about five dollars, ponies,
mules and horses from fifteen to two hun
dred dollars per bead. Society is as good
in Texas (save in Galveston) as anywhere.
Galveston has some hard casos, that clothes
do not fit.
If I were farming, I would remove to
Nortwestern Texas immediately.
Yours, Respectfully,
S. W. PARKER.

Western and Atlantic Railroad has gener
ously offered this and all other necessary

The approaching session of the Conven
tion will probably form and shape the
measures which they propose to bring be
fore the Legislature to be enacted into law.
These measures are various and important:
the stock lavs or fence law ; the dog law
' or sheep law ; the fertilizer law for protec
! tion against adulterated or fraudulently

, establishment of chemical stations in con- i
nection with experimental farms; the prac
ticability of establishing manual labor
schools. The whole people are interested !
in these measures, and all should he fully

i dations of the Convention. Then let all
i counties whioh have not done so, form
) County Societies, and send delegates,

Tragedy in New York -Terrible Result %;
of a Spree.
The telegraph has announced the 00-B
curreuce of a shocking tragedy in New 1
York on Sunday, in which Dr. James Con- B
nully, a well known physician, murdered 1
his two children, little girls, aud then
committed suicide. The New York pa
pers give details of the horrible affair. It
aeems that Dr. Connolly had been two or
three days on a periodical spree, and Sat
urday aud Sunday took occasional doses of
morphine to quiet his nerves. About 4
p. in. Suuday he ontered the bed room of
himself and wife, on the rear of second
floor, taking the children with him and
locking the door. The wife soon after
wards endeavored to enter, but without
success. The police, warned by the neigh
bors, entered the house about 7 o’clock
and forced open the door. The room be
ing dark, the gas was lighted, when a hor
rible spectacle was presented.
On the bed lay the father and children,
dead, and literally bathed in blood. The
children had nothing ou but their night d
clothing. The father was clad in a white
undershirt, covered with blood, while a,
pair of red flannel d«:.re?s to add
to the ghastliness of his appearance, lead
ing one to believe at first glance that the
clothing was soaked in blood from head to
foot. The head-hoard was spattered with
blood, and the bed olothing and mattress
were soaked. A rubber bull, with which
the children hud apparently been amusing
themselves, was also blood-stained, and lay
on the bed. The weapon the iunatic had
used lay on the bed. It was a earviug
knife, with a blade sixteen inches in length,
and tapering gradually to a fine point
The throats of both children had been cut,
their jugular veins being severed. The
throat of the father was cut from ear to
ear, and besides several stab wounds in the
breast in the vicinity of the heart. A
physiciau examined the bodies and an
nounced that death had occurred several
hours previous. Mrs. Connolly was ren
dered insane for a time by the terrihlo dis
covery.
Important Decision of Judge Erskine,
John H. Wallace filed his bill in District
Court of United States to foreclose mort
gage on real estate in the city of Atlanta,
Mortgage dated December 18, 1868.
The defendent, Patrick O'Keif, byway
of answer, set up as :• defense the fact that *
the Ordinary of Fulton county had set
apart the mortgaged property as a home
stead for him and bis family under and
by virtue of the provision of ihe Constitu
tion of Georgia, adopted in 1868, and the
statutes passed in persuance thereof, to
wit; Article VII. and Section 1.
The Court held the answer insufficient
to defeat the foreclosure ; and the home
stead law, passed iu 1868, and the action
of the Ordinary in pursuance thereof, was
illegal and void, coming in conflict with
the right of the plaintiff to enforce his
contract and Hen made and oreated on the
land in 1866, as the effect of such home
stead law, if carried into effect in this case,
would be to impair the obligation of tho
coutract.
