Message of Gov Smith.
This document which was addressed
to the present Legislature at the opens
ing of th e session last week, is a mod
el of business conciseness. His E!xel
fenev gives a financial statement show
ing cash in the State treasury at the
opening of the year T 872 amounting
$'?8G,7G7,01 ancl on the first of Jan
uary, 1873 a balance ot $7G6,13 ! 3,70,
including amount due the school fund.
The iate of taxation of last voar is
thought sufficient tor this year if pro
vision is made tor equalizing the bur
den by requiring property to be given
in at its true valuation. The State
L niverstty and tire college of airricul
ture and the mechanic arts are favor
ably mentioned amfeommended to the’
especial notice of the Legislature. On
the State School, system the Governor
says?
I herewith submit the report of the
State School Commissioner, showing
the operations in his department du
ring the year 1872.
By rfiGhority of an act approved-
Decemder 11, 1838, State bonds
amounting, in the aggregate, to $350,
000, were issued and* placed in the
office of the Secratevy of State, to be
used for educational purposes. There'
is litt'e reason to doubt the General
Assembly intended, by the provisions
of this act, to established a permanent
educational fund, the annual interest
only of which was to be applied to
purposes of education. To carry this
intention into effect* the act provided
that, ‘as any portion of the bonds of
the public debt shall be paid’ami taken
up, the Govornor shall issue an equal
amount of bonds, iu sums of $1,030,
payable at such period in the future
asjio may deem best for trVe objects
and interests in view, to the Secretary
of the State; as the Trustee of the ed
ucatioind fund of Georgia, so that, as
the pwflic debt is extinguished, the
educational fund shall be increased.”
And it was further provided “that the
interests on said educational fund shall
bean mally apprqpi iatedto education
al purposes.” The bonds referred to
were payable to the Secretary of State,
as trustee of the educational fund of
Georgia, and were clearly intended to
constitute a portion of the fund which
by th*£- terms of the m-t, was t!o be
r#sed for educational purposes.
Paragraph I, section 3, article VI.
of the constitution of 1868, is in the
following words “ poll tax al
lowed by this Constitution, any edu
cational fund now belonging to this
State-—except the endowment of any
debt due to the State Univeasity—or
that may hereafter be obtained in any
way, a special tax on shows and exhi
bilion, and on the sale of spirituous
and malt liquors—-which the General
Assembly is hereby authorized to
assess—and the proceeds from the
commutation for militia service, are
hereby set apart and devoted to the
support of corunon schools. The
bonds in question being, at the time
of the adoption of the Constitution,
by virtue of the act authorizing their
issue, a portion of an educational fund
belonging to the State, are,by the par
agraph of the Constitution just quoted
devoted to the suport of common
schools. It is submitted whether the
Legislature is not bound under the
Constitution, to appropriate the an
nual interest upon these bonds to the
support of our present common srbool
system.
The whole amount of School reve
nue received into the Treasury, fiom
all sources, prior to October 1, 1872
—according to the report ot the
Comptroller General—was $492,924
27 This amount, diminished by the
sum realized from the special school
tax leveicL for the payment of the
claims of teachers, and by the ex
penses of the department hitherto in
curred, will leave $353,924 27 now
due from the State Treasury t o the
common school fund. The State
School Commissioner recommends that
tliis amount be bonded, and the bonds
in amounts proportioned to the school
population in the several counties, be
turned over to the county authorities,
on the condition that the school debt
shall be assumed by the respective
counties, and with the further pro
vision that the bonds shall not be dis
posed of at a less than a minimum
price fixed by law. I recommend that
due consideration be given to this
suggestion of the Commissioner, and
that suitable measures be adopted for
the payment of the claims of teachers
at an early day.
Under the authority of an act, pass
ed at the last session of the General
Assembly, a special tax of one-tenth
of one per cent, on the value ot the
taxable property of the State was lev
ied to raise money to pay a portion of
these claims, and I have directed the
Treasurer* to set apart the sum of
SIOO,OOO from the revenue ot last
year for this purpose. The School
j Commissioner has apportioned this

amount among the several counties
upon the basis of the number of chil
dren in each of school age, as fixed
by thd school law of October 13,1870,
and has submitted his estimate to this
office, a copy of which will l>e found
appended to the report of the Com
missioner herewith transmitted.
The policy suggested by the Com
missioner for the support of common
schools is respectfully recommend to
your favorable consideration.
Next, reference is made to the Lu
untie, Deaf* and Dumb and Blind As
sylums,- each of which is recomended
to the favorable consideration', of the
Legislature, ffien the Penitentiary
Public Buildings and State Road re
ceive attention. Os the Georgia Na
tional Bauk he requests more definite
legislation particularly for the benefit
of private depositors. Then follows
a statement of the Governor’s reasons
so» not drawing on the Tresuary for
payment of certain- claims arising un
der B dlook.s administration, and then
the message closes with an invocation
of the spirit of harmony during the
legislation of the session.

The Roll Call in Heaven.
An incident is related by a Chaplain
who was in the army during a' hard
fought battle. The hospital tent had
been filled up fast, the wounded men
had been brought to the rear. Among
the number was a young man who had
been mortally wounded,and not able to
speak. It was near midnight, and
many a? loved one from their homes
lay sleeping upon the battle field that
knows no waking until Jesus shall
call them.
The surgeons had been on their
round of duty, and fora moment all
was quiet. Suddenly this young
man, before speechless, calls iu a clear
distinct voice:
“ Here!”
The surgeon hastened to his side
and asked what lie' wished.
“ Nothing, ”he said, “they were
calling the roll in Heaven, and I an
s.\vered to my na'me.”
He turned his head and was gone—
gone to join tlie great army whose
uniform is washed white in the blood
of the Lamb
Reader, in the great rollscall of
Eternity, when your name shall be
called “ can you answer “Here!” Are
you one of the soldiers of Christ, Cap
tain of our Salvation ?”
Dont Fret
The sun will shine again before
long. The freshet and the heavy rains
have left us in die mud. The streets
and sidewalks are most miserable The
gas is fitful and irregular- The
horse disease has not entirely sub
sided. Wood is very high, and coal
very scarce, and eggs very dear, and
“old probabilities” continue to send us
cold and gloomy weather. But by
and by the blessed sun will shine again
and warm us up, and dry the mud
away. The city fathers will sweep off’
the H ash and dirt, with their new broom,
and everybody will feel better. So do
not fiet. Be reconciled to what you
cannot help. A constitutional! grumb
ler is a nuisance, and ought to be
abated for the peace and happiness of
the public. He is no better than the
man who will not take the Commer
cial himself, but is always slipping a
romid and borrowing his neighbors.—

Chicago vs Boston. —The Specta
tor, an American insurance review,
says that as compared with the* Chic
ago fire the Boston fire was only about
half as costly in money, and in area
swept over only one thirty fifth as
much space. The burnt district of
Boston slightly exdeeds 64 acres; that
of Chicago was 2.114 acres. The es
timated 1 >ss in Boston on buildings is
$20,090,090; on stocks, $60,000,000.
In Chicago it was $53,000,000; and
other property $143,090,000. Boston
loses less than I,oo*o buildings, while
in Chicago 17,000 were destroyed.

How to Pik Out a wife.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.
Finds*girl that iz nineteen years
| old last May, about the right bight,
with a blue eye and dark brown hair
j and white teeth.
Let the girl be good to look at, not
too phond ov music, a firm disbeliever
in ghosts, and one ov six children in
; the family,.
Look well to the charakter ov her fath

gits shaved at least three times a week.
Find* out all about her mother see if
she has got a good head or good com
inon sence, study well her likes and
dislikes, eat some ov her hum made
bread, and apple dumpling, notiss
whether she abuses all ov her nabovs,
ask her servants how long they lived
thare, and don’t fail to observe wheth
er her dresses are last year’s ones fix
ed over.
If you are satisfied that the mother
would make the right kind ova moth
indaw, you kan safely komdude that
the daughter wonld make the right
kindov a wife.
After these preliminaries all are set
tied, and yu have done a reasonable
amount ov sparking, ask the young
lady for her heart and hand, and if
she refuses, yu kan konsider yourself
euchred.
If, on the contrary, she should sax
yes, git married at once without any
f*s» and feathers, and proceed to take
the chances;
I say take the chances, for thare
aint no resipe for a* perfekt wife enny
more than there is for a perfekt hus

Douglass County.— When this new
county was organized in 1870, it was
intended Jo be named in honor of
Stephen A. Douglas; but when it
came before the Legislature it was
recorded in the journals of both Houses
as Don-glass, after Fred. Douglass, the
negro orator and politician, Instead of
Douglas. It is to be hoped that this
new county shall be known by its
proper name. It is due that it should
be explicitly known that the county
was named for Stephen A. Douglas
and not Fred. Douglass- Atlrnta Sun.
“ Phools.”
The following extract from a ser
mon by the Rev. Dr. Holland, is wor
thy of a place in the Rev. Geo. C.
Harding’s famous book “On Fools:”
“The middle classes spend their in.
comes in keeping up false appearances.
They too must wear dove colored
pantaloons and shiny boots. They
must wear diamond studs & seal rings
and carry young ladies to the opera
in hired carnages, at the rate of three
hours use for three days wages.
They must take a turn now and then
at billards, stand treat to the cocktails
bet on their veracity when called in
question; and, last of all, least they
should be deemed timid, most demon
strate their nerve by fighting the tiger
until it claws the last dime out of their
pockets, and claws lasting scratchps
upon their souls.

Patriotism is a word of many
meanings. Two hundred years ago
Sam Johnson defined it to be “ the
last refuge of a scoundrel.” After
wards it got to mean a lover of his
Country. Fight years ago it meant a
love of money. It has now* got back
to where dear, good, crusty old Sam
Johnson found it. The greatest pa
triot now, is the man who can steal
the most in the*shortest given space
of time.
BQTAn editor has been fitly des
oribed or defined as a man who must
daily empty his head to fill his stom
ac-h. But we know some of the
craft who if they had no other susten
ance, would starve on that diet.

BiH Arp’s Creed.
Bill Arp, in the Rome Commercial,
thus announces his creed:
I believe in George Washington
and his hatchet, and Isaac Newton and
his appletree. I believe iu Bonaparte
an<s bhakespear, and Andy Jackson at
the battle of New Orlt-aus. I believe
in Santa Claus and Pocahoutas and
John Smith, and Ben Franklin and
Jefferson and Dixie, ami the 4th of
July, 1776. I believe that an old man
once found a rude boy up one of his
apple trees a stealing apples. I be
lieve the milkmaid spilt her milk when
she tossed her head and said, “ Green
it shall be I bedeve iu Robinson
Crusoe and his man Friday, and the
island of Juan Fernandez. I believe
in old mother Goo: e ami Cinderilla
and John Robinson’s Circus. I believe
in Horace Greely, James Gordon Ben
nett and George D. Printice, and oth
er dead editors, except Sam Bard late
of the Chattanooga Herald, deceased.
I believe most solemnly that Ben But
ler stole spoons. I believe in ’the big
battles oi Waterloo and Bull Run,
Thermopylae*and Dorking and Leath
er s Ford. That last battle was immor
talized in veise by Jaslc Jones when
he wrote, “Big Bfin John Sanford, he
fit amity battle. He fout it at the
ford where Leathers stole *he cattle.”
I believe that General Grant told the
tiuth when he said they had two mil
lion, six hundred and eighty eight
thousand soldiers in the field in the
late war. I believe that old Sherman
marched through Georgia about one
mile behind me and my folks, and
that Big John was saved by tying a
knot iu the steer’s tail. He nceden’t
deny, it for I saw the knot.
They Read, But DonJ Pay.—An
exchange has the following: “ It not
unffequently occurs, when persons are
asked if they will subscribe for a local
newspaper, or if they already take it,
that they reply, “No, neighbor B.
takes it and I have the reading of it
every week. ” They are benefitted
every week by the toils, perplexities,
and expenditures-of those who recieve
nothing from them in return.
To Wiifcft the American Newspaper
Reporter adds more at length:
“The above truth should be copied
and recopied in every country paper
until Uh-e troubble is abated. The pub
lisher of a newspaper, depending as*he
does, in a measure, upon his subcrip
lion list for support, naturally expects
each family who desire to read his pa
per to suberibe for it, if tney can
afford it, Suhcribers themselves as
well as publishers, find the newspaper
borrower a first-class nuisance, for he
often borrows it as the owner is about
to read it, retains it at certain times
when he misses it, and too often if he
returns it at all, the paper is in such
a conditoh that no one of nice sensi
bilities would care to read it.
The Labor Question. —The want
ot labor can be diminshed in a great
measure by dispensing with much ol
it, in making one acre 1 yield what four
acres do now, as it takes as much labor
to make three barrels of corn per acre a g
it does to twelve barrels per acre, and
sometimes more, for the crop on poor
land has frequently to be worked a
longer time than on> rich land. And
it can be supplied to a large degree
if we enlighten our youth and dignify
farm work; then, thousands who run
away from paternal fields to become
perhaps castaways, wowld remain to
swell the ranks ot labor. Strangers
from other lands wonld prefer to era
igrate to that section where all land
owners were working men—they
would feel that there was less aristoc
racy, and more congeniality with their
new neighbors Let the sons ot our
best families seize the plow handles,
and labor will flow in on us - like a
mighty wave of the sea. —Maryland
Farmer .
♦ «♦>
The Stern Parient. —One of our
young men has recently ceased to
make calls at a certain house It ap
pears he went the other night from
an oyster supper, and on her father
appearing at the door, he observed;
“Hello! old tadpole, where is the float
ing gazelle? where is my love now
dreaming?” This seemed to indicate
to the old gentleman that something
was wanted, so he placed his hand sad
ly on the young man’s shoulder, and
turning him partly around, stowed a
way a large amount of leather under
his coat tail; and then retired in the
house. The young man doesen’t go
there any more. He says the small
pox is hereditary in the family.
I®“One of the young men belong
ing to a choir in Danbury, savs an ex
change, had his hair cut by a gener
ous barber on Saturday. Sunday
he sung for a solo “Cover my defence
less head, and blushing like a lobster

Dirt.— Old Dr. Cooper of S. Caro
lina, used to say to his students “Don’t
be afraid ot dirt, young gentlemen.—
TV hat is dirt ? Why nothing at all
offensive, when chemically viewed.
Rub a little alkali upon the dirty
greasy spots on your coat, and it un
dergoes a chemical change and be
comes soap ; now rub it with a littJe
water and it disappers. It is neither
giease, soap, water or dirt That is
not a very odorous* pile of dirt you
see yonder; well scatter a Httfe gyp
sum over it and it is no longer dirty.
Everything like dirt is worthy of our
notice as students of chemistry.—
Analyze it; it will separate into very
cleau elements. Dirt makes corn,
<3©rn makes bread and meat, and that
makes a very sweet young lady, that
I saw one of yon kissing last night.
So, after all, you were kissingdirt, par
ticularly it' she whitened her face with
chalk or fulfer’s earth ; though I may
say that rubbing such a stuff’ upon a
beautiful skin of a young lady is a
very dirty practice. Pearl powder, I
think, is made of bismuth—nothing
but dirt. Lord Palmerston's fine de
finition of dirt ib matter in the wrong
place. Put in the right place ancl we
cease to think of it as dirt.”— Ex.
Trust.— There is no one thing more
lovely in this life,, more full of divine
courage, than whqp a muidcrir goes
from her past life, from her happy
childhood, when she rambled over
every ffeld aud moor around her home;
when a mother anticipated her wants
and soothed her cares; when her
brothers sisters grew from merry play
mates to loving trustful lriends ; from
Christmas gatherings and romps, the
Summer festivals in bower or garden ;,
from the room sanctified by the d'eath
ot relatives ; from the secure back
grounds of childhood, and girlhood,
and maidenhoood—looks out in the
dark and unillumined future, away
from all that, and yet unterifled, un
daunted, leans her fair cheek upon her
lover’s breast, and whispers: “ Dear
heart, I can not see, but I believe.—
The past was beautiful but the future
I can trust with thee — Exchange.
The Boy That stuck to Farming.
—“ When I was a hoy” saida distil.?
finished man, “my first saving of ten.
cent pieces, earned by Saturday astern
noon work—For school kept halt a
day oa Satwrda) then—were expen
ded in buying a heifer-calf. Then I
worked on, and paid my father a sum
each month for keeping. When the
calf was one year old I traded it for
two steer-calves, and now had to put
in good and strong to pay for their
keeping; but I occupied all my spare
time in teaching these calves to work
in the yoke, and at one year old they
would gee and haw as well as old oxen
and my father paid me for their use in
leading the team for his two* and three
year-olds Again, I had a piece of
ground each year, after I was fourteen
that I could plant and work on shares
and, if I wanted help, why I had to
give two days of my time to the hired
mans one day.
I grew just what my fancy and rea
ding dictated, and from the proceeds
I dressed as well as any of the boys at
the present time. I always had some
time to play, time to read, and now
look back, with, love and pleasant
thouhgts, to the old farm, and the
farm hand who taught me to use tools
and whip me when I neglected to drive
the team out straight at the end of the
furrow in plowing. The remembrance
of my boy-hood days has always in
duced me to favor all items of enconr
agement at home on the farm; and I
believe, if it were more generally prac
ticed, we should have more good far
mers, and less broken down merchants
or loafing, time-serving
clerks, ready for anything except hon
orable labor and usefulness. —Rural

A Wonderful, Man. —A corres
pondent of the Griffin Cultivator
has lately met with a philosh
pher, by none, Joe Melton, living in
Meriwether county, whose manner of
life fully entitles him, in our judgment
to the name. The correspondent
says:
He saws Ida own lumber, builds his
houses, makes all his furniture from a
chair to a bureau. He makes his
wagons, and irons them with his own
hands, catches beavers and makes his
hats—ten of these furry gents he has
caught within the past year. He raiss
es corn, meat and wheat for sale
He has the largest apiary in the coun
try, from which he has taken over one
thousand pounds of honey the present
season. Joe, by having several en
counters with Prince Alcohol, in all
of which Prince got the better of him,
has long si nee abandoned him. When
his dav'slabor is finished, Joe entei
tains bis family with music from the
violin, on which instrument none can
excel him.
