We believe that we express the earnest wish of a majority of the good citizens of Bartow county, by suggesting our worthy fellow-citi zeu, Capt. J. L. Neal as a candidate for the next Legislature. Not a more honest man could be selected to represent this county, lie is not a lawyer, but a very talented gentle man and a good farmer; and when Georgia sounded her call to arms, she sent no braver man to the battle-field than Capt. Joseph L. Neal. The views of Many Citizens. We learn that it is Dr. Clayton’s iuteutiou to have a three-story verandah in frout of the Bartow House. Our fellow-citizen, Miller 11. Gil- I'cath, is “treating” with the several contractors of our city, for the lowest bid, to put him up a residence. On Sunday afternoon, August 9, at 3 o’clock, in Ihe City Hall, I purpose deliver ing a lecture ou “The Millennium.” The public are invited to attend. Jxo. 11. Ruckman. A great many of our citizens went to Acworth, ou Sunday, to attend the meet ing of the “Noon-day” Baptist Association. We learn that a very large crowd was present, and the servises were interesting. Another change has been effected in the schedule of the Western <fe Atlantic Railroad. The up and down evening trains and the day down train, arrive as usual, but the up train is forty minutes later. in Dalton, (la., on the evening of July 29, by Rev. Juo. T. Norris, .Mr. C. E. Lucky, of Knoxville, Tenn., and Miss Julia O. Simms, formerly of Cartersville, Ga. Carried, at the residence of the bride’s mother, in this place, on Wednesday evening last, Maky, second daughter of the late Hon. J. R. Parrott, deceased, to Mr. J. S. Hollins he ad, of this county—ceremony performed by Rev. L. J. Davies. It was our pleasure to see the young couple join their fortunes together, and wish for them the full realization of that happiness which their youthful imaginations so vividly paint upon the canvass of the future. The printer’s fee, in the shape of a large, well filled basket from the bountiful table of the kind hostess of the feast, now graces the fore front of our editorial chair; while our vora cious little devil is smacking his chops in an ticipation of the goodly but unusual feast that awaits him. Many thanks! The authorities of the Methodist Church at this place would do well to examine into the efficiency of the Acousteinon or Sound Killer, lately patented by A. A. Porter, Griffin, Ga. It is well kuowu that the Methodist building in Cartersville is defective as an auditory, and some means ought to be taken iu order to remedy the difficulty. A card from the inventor of the Sound Killer embra, ces certificates going to show its success iu those cases where it has been used, and highly reccommendiug it. So good a building as the Church in this place should not be suffered for many reasons, to labor under this prime defect,and wc hope that some immediate steps may be taken to correct it. Just before the tight-rope perform ance began on Monday last, Harry Simpson and a negro boy of about his own age, became i engaged in a personal altercation. As we learn it, Harry struck the boy playfully with a peb ble, when the latter retaliated by dealing Har ry a blow straight from the shoulder, upon the nose. The “wine” flew from that organ most copiously while the negro flew for a place of safety, with Harry in pursuit. He outran H. who hurled a stone at him; but the missile missed its intended target and struck a negro woman on the neck. The yell whkh issued irom that dusky female’s throat was second ouly to the scream of a steam whistle, and leads us to believe she had just inflated her lungs, and was prepared for the occasion. She was not fatally hurt. Harry did not stop to survey the result of his shot, but pushed vigor ously his pursuit of the fugitive. Unfortunate ly for both, the city marshal came upon the scene and arrested them. A large and intelligent audience, composed mostly of gentlemen from the coun try, and a few jadics, also, assembled at the Court House, on yesterday, to hear the expect ed address of Gen. Colquitt. At the appoint ed hour, the general made his appearance, and was introduced by the Chairman, Rev Theodore E. Smith, to the audience. The address occupied considerably over an hour and was a plain, earnest, sensible speech upon the present agricultural condition of the country, the waste, and want of thrift, among the farmers, the foolish desire for emigration, the superior attractions of georgia, the means by which most of our ills and wants might be relieved, closing with a strong and convincing argument in favor of direct trade under the favor and the auspices of the patrons of hus bandry. A few subscriptions were made, and the people left the Court House under great obligations to the General for his well consid ered and sensible speech, and we think, too, better satisfied with their Georgia homes, and the more determined economically and per sistently to devote themselves to the develop ment of their agricultural interest and the pros perity of the State. A CALL FOR A MASS-MEETING. By Bartow County Executive Committee. Cartersville, GA., July 28, 1874. The Democratic Executive Committee of Bartow county met in the Court-House at 10 o’clock, a. m., according to call of the Chair man. On motion of Judge Branson, A. F. Woolley was requested to act as Secretary. Judge J. C. Branson offered the following Preamble and Resolutions: Whereas, Much dissatisfaction has been ex pressed at the mode of nominating candidates for office, and of selecting delegates to the va rious conventions in which it is right and proper for the people of Bartow county to be represented; and. Whereas, it is of the highest importance that there be Democratic harmony and that we present a united front to the enemy, and to the further end that every thing may ‘be fair and ef J ual for all so far as we are able to make it, and thereby restore confidence in our Demo cratic family, and good will for the common fight; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Democratic Execu tive Commmitee of said county of Bartow, do here call a Mass-Meeting of the Democracy of said county, at Cartersville, to be held at 12 o’clock, it., on the 15th day of August, 1874, then and there to select delegates to represent said county in the Calhoun Convention, which is to be held on the second Monday in Septem ber, to nominate a Democratic Candidate for Congress in the 7th District. Be it further Resolved, That it is the earnest desire of this Committee for said Mass-Meeeting of the Democracy thus assembled, to indicate or di rect as may please the Democracy when thus assembled, how and when candidates of the Democratic Party of said county shall be se lected to run for Representatives of said coun ty in the next General Assembly of Georgia, and also for other county offices. A. F. Woolley offered the following Resolu tions, as an amendment, which were accepted: Resolved, That hereafter we suggest that the Democratic Executive Committee of this county shall consist of three persons, who shall be chosen by ballot in Mass-Meeting of the Democrats of Bartow county, and that no per son shall serve for more than two years con secutively on said Committee, and that the person receiving the highest number of votes shall be Chairman. Be it further Resolved, That when the Democrats of Bar tow county meet in Mass-Meeting, to choose delegates to the Congressional Convention, that the meeting be called to order by theChairman of the Executive Committee of the countv, and that the Democrats so assembled be invited to proceed to ballot for a permanent Chairman, and that none but Democrats be invited to participate in any of the deliberations of said meeting, as said meeting is called for the pur pose only of more perfect organization of the Democratic Party of Bartow county. On motion, the Resolutions were amended so as to make the time of meeting at 12 oclock, m., on the 15th. On motion the Committee adjourned. A. P. WOFFORD, A. F. Woolley, Chairman. / Secretary. was a dancing party at the Bartow House, ou Monday night. Many la dies from a distance were present, besides a goodly number from the city and vicinity. The entertainment was given by Mrs. Stovall, the excellent land-lady of the hotel, in honor of her lieantilul and Interesting daughters and some of their young lady friends now visitiug in the county. We are sustained by facts when we announce that the party was a sue" cess in every sense of the word. There were thirty or forty young ladies present, and the majority of them are properly classed as beau tiful and fascinating. We do not remember ever to have seen a more charming array of lovely -women. Asa matter of course, where so much refinement and beauty arc collected together, it is reasonable to suppose there was at least one gentleman to each lady, and they were of the best young men of the city. Hap piness beamed from every countenance, and full and satisfying eujoyment could be read in every feature. The evening was emphatically pleasant, and the participants doubtless look forward with eagerness to a repetition of so happy an occasion. Grand Excursion 1 Free of Charge! ! I take this method of informing the cotton planters, and the public generally, that I am now prepared to rcuovate, reconstruct and re pair your cotton gins, in the very best mechan ical style, as cheap as can be done ou this side the Atlantic. I have also in my employ, one of the best buggy and wagon makers in the Southern States. So bring along your old broken down buggies and wagons, and have them repaired iu the best style ; in fact I am prepared to do anything that comes under the head of mechanical skill, such as repairing and patching steam boilers, stills, sewing ma chines, guns, pistols, cannons, or anything in the world that is made of wood or iron. Bring along your gins at once, and have them repair ed and ready Tor your cotton crops. Respectfully, John F. Harwell. Prof. DeVerdie, the cortortion ist, aerialist, etc., gave an eutertaiumeut at the City Hall, last night, for the benefit of the Episcopal Church. There were probably fifty persons present, including some five or six ladies. Considering the price of admission— -25 cents —and deducting costs, we imagine the Church did not get much. That the per formance was excellent and merited a large audience, those who attended will bear wit ness. The Professor is the best contortionist, by far, wc have ever seen, while his sleight-of hand tricks are inexplicable and highly inter esting. The next time he shows, let him ad vertise “admission FREE!” and the house will be filled. We are requested to offer a reward for the recovery ot a handsome gold cuff-but ton, lost iu this city, one day last week. Council Proceedings. August 3, 1874. Present —His Honor, J. G. M. Montgomery, Mayor, and Hudgins, Williams, Edwards, Pinkerton and Satterfield, Aldermen. Read and approved the minntes of last meet ing. The Financial Committee reported, they had borrowed SOOO, to pay off the current expenses of last month. The Committee on the lire department were instructed to make an effort to organize a fire company by the next meeting of coun cil. Deputy Marshal, A. Collins reported a flue $2.50 from Bud Arnold, and 50 cents for weigh ing on scales. J. C. Maddox, Clerk & Trcas. To all Whom it may Concern. In a few weeks, one of ns will start to New York, to buy our Fall and Winter Stock. Now in order to clear out our Spring and Summer Goods, we will offer, for the next thirty days, such inducements as were never before given to this people. Boots and Shoes, Dry Goods and Clothing can be bought now regardless of cost. S. & M. LI BUM AN. [Communicated.] Messrs Editors: We propose in a short ar tiple, to speak of the merits of our representa tive Dr. Bakfer, and give some of the reasons why the people will endorse his record, and return him for another term. He has proved himself of the right material.for his mettle has been thoroughly tried and tested npon the most vital issues that havo ever been present ed to the Legislature for decision; upon every issue we find him battling on the side of wis dom, justice and equity. Amid the beautiful influences of railroad monopolies and bank rings, that have too nearly controlled the Leg islation of Georgia for a number of years, and which the last two terms have combined their influences to saddle upon the State millions of fraudulent bonds, we find Baker, with man hood preserved,rising above the tainted atmos phere, attacking the foes of his State in their entrenched encampments. We find him be fore he has been scarcely initiated into the mysteries of law-making appointed chairman of a subjoint committee, (from the House and Senate,) that had the important investigation of the workings of the Lunatic Asylum. By the report of that committee, which he drafted and return jd, the Legislature was induced to change the system and management of that institution,at a saving to the State annually of seventy-five thousand dollars, besides adding much to the comfort of that unfortunate class. Again, we find him bi;terly opposed to paying Author Hood, Hines, Hobbs and I’rintup, fees claimed by them for legal services which they regarded rendered the State in the Bruns wick & Albany Railroad, and the Cherokee Railroad cases, when in truth, the State had no interest in them, irregular and unconstution al. His action in this matter placed him, in the rank of a true guardian of the peoples in terest. Again, we find him opposing the reis sue and reaffirmation of the six hundred thous and dollars worth of bonds, issued to the Ma con & Brunswick Railroad, to make their en dorsed bonds per mile, the same as other roads having State aid, as the road was already built, equipped and in running order, besides the bonus had been illegally negotiated. He opposed the Sneed Compromise Bill which propo-cd the saddling, the payment of eight millions of dollars of fraudulent bonds upon the State. Again, watchfu' or the interest of his State, we find him heroically battling against the insiduous resolution of Sneed and his Southern allies, who in the interest of Y ankee Bond Holders, sought to fix the pay ment of five millions of dollars of Bullocks fraudulent bonds upon our people. He opposed the bill which proposed the issue of two mil lions, five hundred thousand dollars of bonds to aid the extention of the Albany* Gulf Rail road to Pollard, one hundred miles into the State of Alabama; thinking it unconstitution al to give State aid, to auy road outside of Georgia. He further opposed the resolution giving the States interest in said road, of one million of dollars to that Company, and it was by his zeal and energy (hat the resolution was so amended as to save a part of the States in terest. Again, he drafted and introduced a bill regulating the tariff for the transporta tion of goods, merchandise, produce etc., by the different transportation companies of the State to make uniform their charges, and to present unjust discrimination, which bill he bad passed by the House, hut which unfortu nately was lost in the Senate. For his action in this matter he was highly complimented by the House, and the Judiciary Committee, be sides endearing him to the oppressed farmers and merchants of the land- There are many other public acts of his, that I might here speak of, if time and space would admit ol it, all going to establish his record of pure statesmanship. All of his public acts crown him with honor besides establishing his incorruptibility. In fact he is the right man in the right place, and the people fully recog nizing the fact, are prepared to endorse him, and honor him again as their representative. A Voter. Thomasville Ga., July 15th, 1874. Messrs Editors : I wrote you in my last communication, about attending the female commencement at “Young Female College.” I also attended the exercises one night at the Male Institute. Many of the young men ac quitted themselves quite handsomely, though the first public appearance for all but three. Two sons of Dr. Brandon, brother of Uncle Tommy Brandon of Bartow, did finely, and especially the eldest, who 6poke of Gen. R. E Lee. He was applauded all the way through. Thomasville is doing well iu an educational point of view ; Col. Herbert Fielder, ofCutli bert, delivered the literary address before the Male Institute, in his usual happy manner; he compared the different grades of miud 'to the different diamonds of the world, showing the great value ot some in comparison to oth ers. We all stopped at the Gulf House at the depot when we arrived here, but as we found board three dollars per single day, thirty dol lars per month, or twenty-five dollars if eight ot us would board regularly, we left and went, to the West End House, kept by Mr. Linton, where we got good rooms and board for twenty-five dollars per month. This house is in a most beautiful shady grove, and the water much cooler than at the Gulf House. On the first of July I was sent by Messrs. Eaves, Keys & Cos. to Daw-sou, iu Terrell county, to obtaiu some dry lumber, or have the window frames made for the hotel, etc. I went from Thomasville back to Albany, where I had to wait for a train for the Smith ville town, so I called to see Rev. J. H. B. Shackleford and family, who formerly lived at Casville aud Calhoun. Ou my way to Albany I took breakfast at Camilla, famous for bad negroes a few years since. There are three turpentine factories ou this road, aud several steam saw mills. There are several roads running into Albany; At lantic & Gulf from Thomasville, branch to Arlington, Albany & Brunswick, aud South Western railroads all come to Albany. It is sixty miles from Thomasville to Albany, twenty-three and a half from Albany to Smithville, and thirty-three from Smithvilleto Dawson, taking the Eufaula branch. Arriving at Dawson, I met with Mr. W. M. Peeples, formerly of Calhoun, Mr. Crim, for merly of Bartow-, aud also Mrs. Dr. Lundy, formerly Miss Belle Crowell. The Dawson Car Factory makes cars, engines, sugar mills, cotton screws, evaporators, water-wheels, &c. The Methodists have a line building for their Male College aud quite a good school, I learn. I attended the concert of the Female Institute, under control of the Baptists, but the house being so crowded and the night so warm, I heard only a part of the exercises, and returned aud spent the remainder of the evening with my frieud Peeples, for whom I once clerked in Calhoun, before the war. I returned to Thomasville aud on Sabbath attended preaching at the Baptist Church, by Rev. Mr. Galdiug, who owns land near Car tersville. lie is the pastor of this church. Mr. Smith, whose sons once went to college at Cassville, in days ot yore, invited me to din ner, and of course I accepted, and found he had a nice family and beautiful residence aud grounds. Although I have not yet seen a house iu the city ou modern style, there are many elegant dwellings, with surroundings surpassingly beautiful. There is uot that os tentation here, that you find in the up-countcy cities, among the ladies and gentlemen. They appear plaiuer and more sociable, though wealthy, and therefore it is more pleasant to a strauger. I learn that no merchant has failed here; and although they have been complain ing some, they are doing a reasonable business. Prices are very good, and if much sales arc made and collected merchants must do well. When I get acquainted with the farmers I will then learn how they stand the times, compared with those of Bartow. I formed the acquain tance of Rev. Mr. Lacy, a Baptist minister 82 years old, who formerly lived in Cherokee Georgia, and who informed me that Ibis was a more easy country for a farmer than lint. I also met Dr. Johnson on the ears, as 1 came down, who lives less than a hundred miles from Savannah, and who informed me that he was a brother of W. S. Johnson Esq. of Cal houn, and that he formerly lived near Adairs ville. He says down the country is a better poor man’s country than the up country. He says his plantation is worth six thousand dol lars, and that he can make more on it than he could ou a place costing the same money in Bartow-. Perhaps the Bartow people will not think so. T. M. Compton. [Communicated.] Rome, Ga., August Ist, 1874. Editors Standard & Express : The communications signed “Justice” in the Her ald is doing Gen. Young good ; for it is evident that the writer considers the General in his or his friends’ way .and in order to get him out of the way has to resort to low down demagog ism, to prejudice the people of this District against him. If the voting for and securing the back pay is the only complaint he can sum up against the General, after so long a term in Congress ; and if he has not got enough of the milk of human kiuduess and gratitude to say nothing of many acts of noble and gal lant deeds iu the battle field and in Congress, I would if I were him select some other signa ture, than “Justice.” I don’t know who it is, but I feel quite sure he has a narrow, contract ed heart, is a man void of gratitude, and one who would have voted as Young did, for the back pay and drawn it—just what nine tenths of the people of the South, West, East, and North would have done. It is a mighty little thing to bring up, and none but mighty little people will do it. It is expected that the del. gates of this county will support Col. Print up ; their next choice is Gen. Y'oung. He is stronger here to-day than ever before. Floyd. [Communicated.] “Coosa” to “Peter Porcupine.” I hope the people will temember that “Por cupine” has not taken issue with me upon a solitary proposition I laid down. I said the official career of the lion. L. N. Trammell is as free from stain as that of auy man who ever held office in Georgia. As “Porcupine” is the friend and advocate of Gen. Young, and the opponent if not the enemy of Col. Tram mell, I take it for granted he is unable to dis pute this statement, or he would do so. “Porcupine” asks, what it is in his first reply to “Coosa,” that could have justified the as sault I made upon Gen. Y’oung. It is posi tively untrue, that I made any assault upon Geu. Young; what I said iu commendation of Geu. Young, I said iu the most unqualified manner; iu fact, my remarks were so unquali fied in approbation of Gen. Young, that I ap prehend they may be coustrued into an en dorsement of some of his public acts, which I cannot approve. For instance, I cannot in dorse the vote of the General for the increase of h s pay, from $5,000 per year to $7,000 per year; especially do I find it impossible to agree with him in voting himself an increase of pay for back services. The General still thinks, so he says, that he was right in that vote. I be lieve he is honest iu that conviction, yet I be lieve he is wrong. And if the General honest ly believes he was right iu voting the increase, he ought not in the last session of Congress to have voted the decrease. Above all, it he was right in voting for $7,000 per year, he ought not at the last session of Congress to have moved for an amendment to the salary bill, to reduce the pay to $3,000 per year. And if it is true as charged, 1 can not approve the con tract made by Geu. Y'oung, with Col. YYash Johnson at the last Congressional Conven tion held in Cartersville, by which it is said Gen. Young for Johnson’s support then, agreed not to run against Johnson next time. Not that Gen. Y'oung now violates the terms of that contract, by being a candidate as John son is not in the field ; but if Gen. Young was not the choice of the people without that trade, it is impossible for him to be their choice with it. Nor cau I approve Gen. Young’s course in asking a seat in the 41st Congress, on an election to the 40th Congress. If Gen. Y’oung had been successful in that, if would have seated in the 41st Congress as members from Georgia, YVliitely, Edwards, Gove and Friuce, every one radical rascals of the worst type, when an election displaced them all except Whitley. I do not mention these things to complain of the General, for I give him credit for honesty of purpose, bat think his judgement was at fault, and to re cord my dissent from his course. Your solicitude about Felton beating Tram mell is anxiety wasted. Wheu the nomina tion is made, and the Doctor’s “proud colatcr al” is exposed in the breezy field of open dis cussion, he will find use for more than one speech in a campaign. The Democrats of Cherokee Georgia, are Democrats from prin cipal; they will not support Dr. Felton iu his efforts to break down the regular organiza tion of the party, any sooner than they would a Republican. His talk that he will not run if I'oung is nominated, looks a little too much like a combination, in the first place, and in the second, it is not true. The Doctor is a candidate because he wants the honors and emolaments of a congressman, and he don’t care who he beats to get them. The troth is, if Gen. Young is the nominee of the Demo crats, Dr. Felton will run and be defeated, precisely like he will run and be defeated if Trammell is the nominee. And if it should issue in the nomination of Jim Waddell and his lottery tickets, Dr. Felton like the slowest dog in a fox chose, will not be heard of. The Doctor may understand Grangers, camp meet ings and sinking schools, but when he taekels a lottery office, he will be ready to pray the prayer of a fellow in the bear fight; “Lord if you can’t help me, don’t help the bear.” Coosa. CASSVILLE NEWS. REPORTED BY “VIDE.” Our District has been visited by delegation from the 17th District, consisting of Messrs. Gilreath, Rowland, Davis, Shelman and others, on a deer hunting expedition. They were thoroughly equipped with camp and chase equipage, and came fully prepared to kill aud carry away every buck, doe, slink aud fawn, that ever hopped, jumped, or skipped over the rugged declivities of Shaw’s Ridge. They enjoyed fully, I suppose, the sound of the winding horn, as its clear notes echoed and rc-eehoed from hill to dale; their steeds cavorted admirably, their pack of twen ty hounds performed to their satisfaction the music of the chase, and many tales and funny anecdotes were rehearsed around the flickering light of the camp fire; but narry deer, trem bling in death’s agony, or weltering in its gore, gladdened the hearts of the jolly hunters. The Singing Convention was a success, and accomplished as much as its most sanguine admirer desired. Everything passed off agreeably, and was conducted to the grati fication of the old and the young. It is said by the passers-by that the whole country around is still haunted by the concourse of sweet sounds, and go in what direction you will, you can hear the old songs ot Zion that Professor Walker rendered so perfectly. Ev ery one I have heard speak of it say the sing ing was perfect, the lectures of Prolessor Walk er amusing and interesting, the address of Dr. Felton a model of eloquence, and the hospital ity of the Pine Log ladies beyond rivalry. The 17th District will have the benefit of the next Convention. A Protracted Meeting is being conducted at the Methodist Church by Mr. Singleton, the preacher iu charge, assisted by Rev. Mr. Bigham, the Presiding Elder of this District. Rev-. Win. A. Rogers, President of the Dalton Female College, and formerly of the Cassville Female College, preached the 11 o clock sermon on Monday last. His friends were glad to greet him at the old place again. He is a great favorite wherever he goes, and is one of the best educators of young ladies in the South. All who have girls they design sending from home to college could select no better one to scud to than the Dalton Female College. ADAIKSVILLE NEWS. REPORTED IIV J. M. DAVIDSON. Business is a little brisker, and the farmers have more leisure than at any time during the season, but owing to. the low price for wheat, money is rather scarce yet. Notwithstanding the hard times, improvements are still going on. Our wide-awake town commissioners are having two more public wells dug, which is a good move; for, with a force-pump in each and a few feet of hose, water could be thrown upon every business lionse. Personal.—Mr. E. R. Gaines will soon have his house completed. J. C. Aycock is putting up a substantial plank fence from bis house up to town. Mr. Win. Lolhcr has just finished a rock cul vert at Hie depot, w hich supercedes that ugly and dangerous old wooden structure. Mr. L. has m tile a nice job. and Mr. M. 11. Dooly, Su-- pervisor, lias the thanks of this people for hav ing it done. We notice in town Mr. Comer, cotton factor, from Savannah; Mr. Meeks, representing the 11. S. A I’. Company, ol Saltvillc, Vu., and Dr Russel, of Atlanta. Dr. Rogers, President of Dalton Female College, preached an excellent sermon in this place, Sunday night. I WAS shown by J. L. Gash, Esq,, a few stalks of Hungarian millet about two and a half feet high, sown the 25th of June, on wheat stubble. He has a good stand and will make a ton of hay on half an acre. The little boys had some sport Saturday evening, at the expenseof a gent from Africa, who had ou board a few more groceries than he could well carry. He imagined that someone was after him, and not being sensi ble of the fact that he was on the platform he made a bound or a leap, and went about ten feet, alighting upon his “bread-basket,” to the great amusement of the bystanders. I had the pleasure of meeting witli a trio of candidates, this week, all looking as pleasant as a basket of chips. Our old friends J.L. D. Ward and J. A. Mcßeynolds for Tax Collector, and Mr. F. M. Dasham for Tax Receiver—all clever, worthy men. One of our citizens was in Cal houn, a few days since, and witnessed a very exciting scene. It seems a couple of young lovers concluded to steal a march on the old folks, by having a romantic wedding. The young man procured his license aud repaired to the office of a Notary. Just as he waspre paring to perform the ceremony, the young la dy’s father hove in sight with a double-barrel shot-gun, and caused a panic. The Notary and the young man fled, with the enraged father in hot pursuit; and, as my informant left, the chase was going on, and the town marshal was w-alking the streets iu a towering passion, and invoking something more than blessings on the head of any preacher or ’squire who would marry a man’s daughter to a fellow against the old man’s will. STILESBOKO DOTS. Monday night, the 27th of July, was noted for its heavy rainfall, its flashing lightning and roaring thunder. While almost incessant torrents of rain continued to fall, hour after hour, the elements were lit up by a constant blaze, and the very skies seemed to be breaking down with peal after peal of crashing thunder. In fact, the very heavens seemed to have turned their strongest artillery loose. Mr. John Cole awoke the next morning, and found his only mule a victim to the lightning storm. But all this demonstration seems to havo been a farewell serenade of the clouds and rains, that had been paying us daily and nightly visits for weeks and months past, as we have since had clear skies aud sunshiny days, with now aud then a passing murmuriug cloud in the distance, as a token that we have not been entirely deserted of them, but will be visited again as occasion requires aud in due time. Much wheat has been threshed out wet, from stack aud shock, necessitating the te dium and the task of sunning, spreading, cool ing and drying. It is strange that a cool rain will heat wheat and a hot sun will cool it. But it is nevertheless true. Many residences seem to have been mistaken for wheat houses, or pressed in for that purpose, as every room— parlor, pautry, passage aud all, were over spread with wheat. We have read of that po etical, country allusion, “coming through the rye;” but this was, emphatically, bogging through the wheat. But, oh, what a blessing! to have so much to eat that you have to pass round, wade through, or jump over it, and can scarcely “find room to contain it.” What a jolly good time these country folks will have, eating cake sauced with the yield of the bee gum aud the churn, as it is too good aud too cheap to sell at present prices, especially as the drouths of South Carolina, Kentucky aud other regions, and the insects of the North west, have cut off crops in those sections, and wc may yet prove to he the Egypt for their supplies. How carefully grain speculators avoid this theme, while they as forcibly dwell upon the “abundant and enormous wheat crop of California and the West.” The excessive rains have caused smut and blast iu the coru, which may yet di minish its promised yield, and the wheat may have to supply its probable deficit. But be that as it may, our experience has taught us that there is but little difference between a big crop aud a little oue. For however big the crop, it takes it all to do, and however small, we do ou it; hence, no use in troubling about it, as we only come out even at last. A big cotton crop only brings half price, and a half crop brings two prices, so it is only even at last. And so, farmers ought to be the happiest folks in the world, coming out even every time in every thing; lor he who holds his own and plays for even these tricky times, is doing mighty well. As crops are all laid by, and noth ing to do but 101 l about and eat the cake we can’t sell, what a good time we do have. Oc casionally we look out upon the political field, through the spectacles of newspaper commu nications, and, oh! the jealousies, animosities, revilings, the strides for office, the race for po sition, in 6uch striking contrast with the “former's simple life, far from the world’s tempestuous strife!” From some thundering in the Congression al sky, a nomination storm seems to be gath ering ; and while champion lions fall out, and expend their strength on each other, will it be at all wonderful when a fleet-footed fox seizes the prize and wins the race? Then whose shall all these things be ? Iu the mean time we fanners and country folks will sit under the shades of our wide spreading oaks, eat the fruits of our fields, smoke the pipe of peace and pat the foot of contentment, claiming the blessing ot the negro’s text, “Blessed am da what ’spects nothing, for da sha’n’t be dis appinted”—and “caring for none of these things,” so we get a “good man,” a good Democrat and as much of a farmer as possible, if not we shall seek to be Felt-on the way. KINGSTON ITEMS. BY JAS. F. HARGIS. Our little town is experiencing one of the greatest revivals that has been in the community for years. The meeting com menced at the Baptist Church, on Friday be fore the third Sabbath in July, and is still pro gressing, and we expect it will continue for two weeks longer. The results, so far, are seven for baptism and five returned prodigals, aud two converts who have not yet joined themselves to the church. There is to be a general meeting at the Baptist Church, com mencing on the fifth Sabbath iu August, when wc expect a most glorious time and a large number of people. There are about twen.y five or thirty at the anxious scat, at our pres eut meeting. A Freak of Nature.—An infant was born, about three miles from our town, a few days ago, without the least sign of legs. The balance of the body and limbs was per fectly developed. It lived one day and night, when it died, and was buried at the cemetery in this place. The colored people of this section held a Convention, one night last week, which is very amusing, aud we will give it iu detail in our next week’s report. One old negro said on the streets this morning, that when he heard negroes trying to talk on polities he felt just like he wanted to go to kicking. Your Reporter has the Agency for the Domestic Sewing Machine, which is the best in the country.
