City and County.
The finest tea imported, at John
son & Curry’s. Try it-
The Griffin News and Messenger
have been consolidated, and the editorial de
partment is conducted by Judge Pitt M.
brown. We wish the combination success.
Two of our fellow-county men
went up main street in a jolly humor last
Monday afternoon, evidently celebrating the
triumph gained by the Restriction men on
the Friday previous.
Go to Johnson & Curry’s for, burn
ing and lubricating oils, paints, glass, var
nishes, etc.
We were pleased to hear our young
friend, Bob Pattillo, say, on Monday last, that
he had as flue a crop prospect as be wauted.
That’s good. We hope his heigh hors arc all
as well satisfied.
Tiie District Court of Bartow coun
ty is now in session. We arc sorry to learn
that Col. Aiken, from illness, was prevented
from attending court, and his cases were read
and passed by the Judge. We hopc,crc court
adjourns, the Colonel will be able to attend.
Finest cigars and tobacco in town,
at Johnson & Curry’s.
The oddest looking sight of the
summer was the little girl who drove a three
yoke team of oxen through town the other day
With along cane in one hand and an umbrel
la in the other, she looked the picture of in
dependent contentment.
Bird Manure.—The manure of
birds is richer than that of animals. As the
solid and liquid excrements are mixed togeth
er, it is particularly rich in nitrogen and phos
phates. Three or four hundred weight of the
manure of pigeons, fowls, turkeys, etc., is of
equal value with from fourteen to eightecu
loads of animal manure.
Look Out!—For G. M. Stewart
has moved ,his_Boot and Shoe shop across
the Rail Road, opposite the Depot where he
is prepared to do all styles of work iu his line
neatly aud at short notice. Rcparing neatly
done. All work warranted. Give him a call.
We take this occasion to return
our thanks to our brethren of the quill, and
most especially to the gentlemen of the Con
stitution, for their efforts to make our recent
visit to Atlanta aud North East Georgia, an
occasion of pleasure. We never shall forget
the kindness of Cols. Hemphill and Clark.
They almost exceeded themselves on the oc
casion
Take your prescriptions to John
>"N & Court’s drug store, and they will be
accurately compounded at all hours—day or
night.
Elsewhere we publish a short
communication from Mr J. M. Davidson, late
Railroad and Express Agent at Adiiraville.
He writes to express his regrets at leaving that
place, ami to pay a deserving tribute to the
cood people who make up the population
there. Wc know Davidson intimately well,
and know that he is equally popular with the
citizens of Adairsville as with us iudvidually,
and there cannot be but universal regret at
his departure. He goes to Kingston to occu
py a similar position to the one he held in
Adairsville.
It lias been hinted to us once or
twice that the late press excursion was a
season of sprecing and iutoxieation. Never
was there a greater mistake made than that.
Oue or two of the brethren were “slightly
happy” but with oue of them it was a mere
accident, and the other was only a little jolly.
A more orderly, well behaved set of gentlemen
it was never our good luck to accompany, and
we hope our readers will disabuse their minds
of the idea that it was a drunken carouse.
The collation spread out by the
proprietors of the Atlanta Herald on the Ttli,
with which to feast those hungry editors,
was certainly one of the finest it was ever our
good fortune to witness. Solids and luxuries
were super-abundant, and so plentiful were
they, that after fitly or sixty ravenous men had
helped themselves bountifully, there was plen
ty left for another detachment. Grady was
Particularly happy on the occasion.

This Insurance Company, though compara

think the Company acted wisely aud well.

Upon our arrival home, we found
most of the matter required for this issue of
the paper in type, and cannot, therefore, de
vote as much to our own feelings, relative to
the excursion, as wc would otherwise do. Suf
fice it to say now, that we have never, upon
any such occasion, so “hugely” enjoyed our
self. The efforts of Cols. Hemphill and
Clarke, to make the excursion a season of
pleasure, was a perfect success. Throughout
the entire intercourse the most fraternal feel
ing prevailed. We repeat that wc arc sorry
wc have not room for more concerning this
enjoyable occasion, but will next week copy
extensively from the report made by Mr. Small
for the Constitution , a description of the
scenes witnessed on the trip. By-thc-bye, this
Mr. Small is mentally no small man, he has
the most happy disposition and is one of the
most ready-witted gentlemen we have ever
met; he won the respect and esteem of the
whole party. We publish as requested, the
following resolutions:
Col. Gorman offered the following which
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas. The Mayor and the citizens of
Toccoa City, have generously entertained this
excursion iu a manner worthy of their reputa
toin and enterprise, therefore be it
Resolved, That we tender the Mayor and
the etizens of Toccoa City and notably Mr.
Davenport and brother Mills, of the commit
tee, our grateful thanks and beg them to be
lieve that among the many pleasant events of
our trip will allways linger the recollection of
their bountiful hospitality. Further, that the
Northeast Qccnigia Herald be requested to
publish this resolution aud all other papers iu
the association.
Tiie residence of Mr. Henry Elliot,
of Kingston, but recently finished, was burned
one day last week. We learn that a basket

Rule for Weighing Hogs.—The
Kentucky rule for estimating the net weight
of hogs is said to be, for the first hundred
pounds deduct twenty-five pouuds for gross,
for the second hundred deduct eleven and a
half, for the third hundred pounds deduct six
and a quarter. All over the third hundred
pounds is net. The net weight of a hog
weighing one hundred pouuds gross is seven
ty-five pouuds. A hog of one hundred aud
fifty gross, will net one hundred aud eighteen
pounds and three quarters ; of two hundred
and fifty pounds gross, two hundred and nine
pouuds and three quarters uet, and a hog, the
gross weight of which is three hundred pounds,
will net two hundred and fifty-six pounds and
a quarter. From the gross weight of a hog
that goes over three hundred pounds, forty
three pounde and a quarter only is deducted,
even should the weight be four hundred
pounds. This rule, if correctly stated, may be
useful to somebody.
Silver’ Tlrreatls.
Silvei threads the world calls grey,
Touch not the maiden’s hair to-day!
Go to the sire whose form is bent,
Whose days are few—wnose strength is spent.
Revel ye there—and your work complete,
He is aged now—there is no retreat,
For a “crown of glory” is the hoary head,
And he’ll slumber soon with the righteous
dead.
But away with your “tints” amid the brown,
Hei “lengthened” locks are her only crown—
Turn not the hair when the heart is gay,
Till the Sunset of life, away, away!—.
She took the glass in her trembling hand,
Unloosed the comb and the narrow band;
“There’s a right whke hair”! and'l saw it
fall—
She pulled it out—the roots and all !
Ah fair maiden do ye not know,
Two white robed friend to such funerals go:
The days creep on, and the years once sped—
Arc numbered each by a silver thread?
But weep ye not—in the Heights Above,
In the golden light of the God of love,
The black, the brown, and the silver grey
Are all one “tint” in that joyous day.
And they whisper oft’, ye are passing on,
Life and its trials will soon be done;
We number the griefs, as well as the years,
But we lead to aland where there are no
more tears.”
“Quill Dipper.”
OLD KYE MAKES A SPEECH.
“ 1 was made to be eaten,
Aud not to be drank;
To be threshed in. a barn,
Not soaked in a tank.
I come as a blessing
When put in a mill;
Asa blight and a curse
When run through a still.
Make me up into loaves.
And your children are fed;
But if into drink,
I starve them instead.
In bread I’m a servant,
The eater shall rule;
In drink I’m a master,
The drinker a fool.
Then remember the warning,
My strength I’ll employ,
If' eaten, to strengthen',
If drank, to destroy.”
The above lines, copied from the “ Youth's
Companion," to me seem strkiugly applicable
to the election of Friday last, the 9th inst.
I am a matron with a family of boys and ot
course voted the “dry ticket.” The point is
apparent, and for this cause I beg space in
these columns to proclaim my rejoicings, in
behalf of the young men, tliS lads, the mere
boys of our town, that so potent a temptation
is being removed. In these days of lax disci
pline at home, and still looser reign at school,
moral courage and principle will both yield to
the seductive enticement of a tempting glass,
especially when a trusted companion offers it
with his own hands.
I know something of the history of “Rye,”
and I have never seen the heirs of the distiller,
the retailer, or the patron of liquor to prosper.
Mysell, the decendent of a worthy grand-sire
—an opulent distiller, where now is my birth
right ? I assure you, though there be “bags of
gold” in its traffic, the end is plainly foretold
iu the Book of books, aud such wealth verily
takes wings aud flies away! Indeed, I can
cite yon to a case well known to the writer,
who loved naught but bis gold, and the glass
it bought, aud who actually died with a wealth
of treasure hid away in the earth,which to this
day remains unl'ound. Moreover, I have been
told that there are boys,from ten to fifteen
years, who drink whenever they can get mon
ey enough to bay a bottle. Now this may
all seem “bosh” to the “wet men,” nay more
a species of religious cant. To all such I would
say “the little that a righteous mau hath is
better thau the revenues of many wicked.”
Priest and people patronize your “nicely
fixed up” glass, there is but ouc law giver,
there is but one judge, aud after death the
judgment.
Yon argue that there is money in nothing
else—sad commentary ou our evil day; rnany
a gallant ship has been wrecked right here.
Alas, alas! that which enriches your coffer
beggars a wife and children, or breaks a moth
er’s heart. Give me honest poverty, entailed
penury, and if the curse of the third genera
tion light on my hapless head, let me not
transmit it to future posterity.
I speak advisedly, hear what I say.
“Crusader.”

Editors Standard and Express:
Gentlemen--I have been appointed Railroad
Agent at this place, and as 1 lived at Adairs
ville nearly eight years as R. R. and Express
Agent, I wish to express, through your estima
ble paper, my kindest regards and well wishes
to the good p'eople of that place and vicinity.
They are good people, and it is with great re
gret that I leave them. 1 shall always think of
them with pleasure, and would be happy to see
them at any and all times when passing thro’
Kingston. lam still a citizen of Bartow Coun
ty. and ’consider myself their neighbor and
friend yet. Please send my paper to this place.
Very respectfully, J, M. Davidson.
“That looks verry pretty and plau
sible on paper,’’farmer Jones remarks,asbelays
down liis agricultural journal, after reading
one of Prolessor Brown’s well written articles
on rotation of crops, “It looks well, I’d like
to see the Professor try to carry out his ideas
on the cotton plantation. I reckon he’d find
out the difference between theory and prac
tice.” Well, suppose Professor Brown should
attempt to carry out his ideas in the field, and
should make a failure t Would that prove
his theory false ? By no means. It takes
something more than correct theory to make
a crop—good general management and an ex
perimental knowledge of the details of field
work. Perhaps farmer Jones himself,working
on the same plan, would attain the highest
success. An inventor may devise a machine
which is to revolutionize the industry of the
world, yet he may not be able, on account of
deficient mechanic skill, to construct his ma
chine in such away it will work. The practi
cal man—the mechanic —comes to his assis
tance, and the work is done. So it is in every
department. The man of ideas has the force
to move the world, but he needs the man of
pratical common sense and skill to help him
in putting his ideas into working shape.
Farmer Jones should not jump to any such
conclusion as his remarks seems to indicates.

A Georgia Patent.—Mr. G. W.
Stewart,of Adairsville,patentee of hollow rail
car axle, called to see us yesterday and exhib
ited a model of his invention. The axle is
hollow, which it is claimed prevents granula
tion jarring. The wheels are put on by hy
draulic pressure, aud the journals put iu
sixteen or eighteen inches. When the jour
nal wears down the wheel is taken off and a
new journal inserted. This invention it is
claimed, will reduce the liability to accidents.
This axle, to a limited extent, will give to
curves. It appears to be a very valuable in
vention and will doubtless save to the state
between $30,000 aud SIOO,OOO now spent in
idols. —A tlanta Constitution.
Shooting In Chattooga.—We
regret to learn that Mr. Gus Johnson, a son
of the late Col. Jeff Johnson was yesterday
shot in Chatooga county. Our informant
states that Mr. Johnson was wounded in the
head and leg, being shot either by the sher
iff or one of liis posee. We are unable to learn
any further circumstances connected with
this unfortunate affair. —Roma Commercial.
MORE PARTICULARS.
We yesterday were told some additional par
ticulars concerning the shooting last Sunday,
of young Mr. Johnson, by Mr. Weaver, all of
Chattooga county. The following are the par
ticulars as told to us : —Last Sunday as Mr.
Weaver was going to church he passed by
the residence of Mr. Johnson, who addressed
him asking where he was going. Weaver, re
fusing to answer the greeting rode on. On
Weaver’s return he asked youug Mr. Miliean
to accompany him, as it was understood that
his life and that of Millicau’s had been threat
ened by the Messrs. Johnson. As they were
riding along the road, Mr. Abb Johnson ap
peared from behind a tree and told Weaver
that lie had him. Weaver instantly drew a
pistol aud firing at Johoson, wounded him in
the jaw. The Messrs. Johnson made no further
attack. Mr. Weaver has had atrial and has
oecn acquitted.— lbid.
We understand that a movement
is on fool to organize a rifle team iu this city,
with the view of favoring the public with an
exhibition of skill in the use of the rilie.
There are a number of capital shots in Savan
nah, and it docs not appear that there will be
any difficulty in organizing the club. Already
we hear a noted shot has been called to the
front as G’olonel Gildersleeve, aud another as
Captain Bodine. Among the “shooters” the
project meets with favor, and it is not improb
able that before another week an excellent
team will be thoroughly organized. We
would be pleased to chronicle this event, and
hope that the movement may prove success
ful. —Savannah News.
DKIED BLACKBERRIES.
A Letter from tlie Agricultural Editor
of tlie New York Tribune.
To the Editor of the Herald:
You cannot urge upon your read
ers too strongly the value of the black
berry crop, which nature has freely
bestowed. I could name men in the
High Point and Salem region of
North Carolina who have made nice
little fortunes by this trade, and it
has many a formerly unknown lux
ury into the homes of poorer classes
of "that section. Your paper will not
reach those who should pick the
berries, but it will be seen by the
country merchant, and if he will an
nounce that he will buy dried black
berries at live cents per pound, a few
will commence this year and more
the next, until this heretofore wasted
crop brings into Georgia hundreds of
thousands of dollars,as it has in North
Carolina. The country merchant can
pay for them in goods on which he
makes 25 per cent profit. Pick
ing and drying blackberries and sell
ing them comes nearer getting some
thing for nothing than anything
I know of. Almost every ten-year
old child can earn its 50 to 60 cents,
per day. They need but little care
in drying, except to keep from rain
and should be dried as quick as pos
sible. There is no danger in stock
ing the market. When they fall
a little in price, new uses arise for
them. Several men, however, have
gotten badly hurt in trying to corner
them. Thousands and thousands of
pounds are used in making an excel
lent imitation of port wine. I have
not now at hand statistics of the
quantity shipped from North Caroli
na, but I well remember when the
idea of drying blackberries and sell
ing them was much laughed at there;
now millions of pounds are sent off,
and, pass through the North Carolina
liailroad country just after the dry
ing season is over, and you will see
the country girls and boys with
bright new clothes on—all bought
with blackberries. Now, too, North
Carolina sends many other varieties
of dried fruit, and from her moun
tains hales of roots and herbs to all
part* of the country.

If secret faults are indulged they
will sooner or later break out like
smothered fires, and the true charac
ter of the heart will be developed.
Fires uncap a mountain because they
have been long accumulating, and
can be confined no longer. Streams
that flow far under the ground,
somewhere, though far from the foun
tain, make their way to the surface.
Disease that is long in the system,
that flows round and round in the
blood, Mill atllast manifest itself.
And so it is with the corruptions
of the heart. They cannot always
be concealed, and God designs that
they shall not always be. It is well
under the Divine administration,
that the true state of the heart should
be made manifest, and that it should
he seen what man is.
Instead of the clumsy old sawdust
arrangement, a neatly fitting hollow
affair of tin is said to be the latest
thing, enabling lean ladies to fill out

They appear to be reconciling pret
ty rapidly in Memphis. The colored
benevolent societies addressed a com
munication to General Forest, Gener
al Pillow, Col. M. C. Galaway, the
editor of the Appeal and General
Young, Democratic member (elect)
of Congress, to address them on the
Fourth. To this request these gentle
men replied.
********
Feeling that the prosperity and
happiness of both the white and col
ored races in the Southern States, in
a great degree depends upon kindly
relations and a good understand
ing and mutual friendly officers we
will all probably accept your invita
tion to be present, and someone of
our number will address you upon
matters affecting your interest and
future welfare; but we will, as far as
possible avoid all discussions of ex
isting politicial questions or issues.
We are respectfully yours.
Gid. J. Pillow,
N. B. Forrest,

Agreeable to invitation, addresses
were delivered to the colored people
of Memphis by Generals Forrest and
Pillow and Colonel Gallaway. It is
well known that of the Southern
leaders in the late war, none have
been considered so dangerous an
enemy as the famous trooper Forrest.
“Remember Fort Pillow” has been
the word to fire the Republicans
heart, North and South. Therefore
the address of his indicates that a
most decided change in sentiment
is taking place among the colored
people of Tennessee.

Progress. Once upon a time,
says the Brooklyn Arp its, a cry arose
that there was too much taxation and
two little representation in this coun
try, and, in other ostensibly to rem
edy the evil, the people got up what
is known as the Bunker Hill row.
Since then the history of taxation
here has shown that the object of
shaking off the foriegn plunderers was
to enable the people to introduce a
domestic plan of plundering each
other. At this little game they have
proved themselves able to give their
English cousins two points and
eueher them every time.
The new Zoological Garden in
Cincinnati promises to be a credit to
that city. The grounds are sixty
six acres in extent, are well drained
and pleasantly diversified in hill and
dale. Some of the buildings have
been completed, others are now un
der contract, and at the end of the
present year $200,000 will have been
expended on the grounds and build
ings while SIOO,OOO more are to be
applied to the same purpose during
the year 1876. Shipments of foriegn
animals will soon arrive, and the
garden will be opened to the publicon
the Ist of September next. The so
ciety is well supplied with funds,
and its officers are determined to
make their garden an institution
which will compare favorably with
the most celebrated of those m Eu
rope.
Col. W. Preston Johnson delivered
the memorial address at Lexington,
and in it the following unpublished
occurrence is related:
When Mr. Davis was at Green sbo
ro, North Carolina, after Gen. Lee’s
surrender, an eminent gentleman and
gallant soldier from Virginia, said to
him in my hearing: “I shall return
to Virginia, and with my men take
to the woods and mountains and
marshes, and wage eternal war upon
the enemy.” Mr. Davis replied rath
er drily: “ I would be glad, General,
if you could bring those men here,
and help Johnson strike another blow
for independence; but if you begin a
guerrilla war the Yankees will hang
you, and if they do not your own
people will.” And he added to me
afterwards: “And they ought to,
guerrillas become brigands, and any
government is better than that.” He
understood our people who are wil
ling to die for liberty but will not
endure license. With such a race
hope never fails.
Tile “Mutual Friend” on the
Rampage.—The Brooklyn Argus of
Wednesday says:
“Mr. Francis D. Moulton arrived
from Narragansett this morning for
the purpose of commencing legal
proceedings against Mr. Beecher.
Moulton declares that the foulest per
jury has been committed in the late
trial, and that he is determined to
place it wffiereit belongs. The grand
jury is now in session,and an endeav
or will be made to secure Mr. Beech
er’s indictment. To that end tiie
following witnesses will be sum
moned: Henry C. Bowen, Mrs.
Elizabeth R. Tilton, Mr. anil Mrs.
Joseph 11. Richards, Mrs. Emma C.
Moulton, Mrs. Martha Bradshaw,
Theo. Tilton, Mrs. E. C. Stanton,
Mrs. S. B. Anthony and others.”
It is stated that Barnwell county,
South Carolina, has a genuine case of
Siamese twines. A woman in that
county recently gave birth to two
children who are joined together by
a ligature very closely resembling
that which unite the bodies of Chang
and Eng. The Augusta Chronicle
says, at last accounts the twins w T ere
alive and doing “as well as could be
expected.”

DEATH OF GEN. FRANK BLAIR.
Washington, July 9. Gen.
Frank P. Blair expired at midnight,
surrounded by his family and a few
intimate friends. He has been in a
precarious state for several months,
but under blood transfusion treat
ment bad began to grow’ stronger,
and wus generally supposed to be
steadly improving. During the
past few days he has taken frequent
rides, and yesterday walked down
stairs. His death came suddenly,
and will be a painful surprise to his
many friends, who had confident
hopes of his recovery.
The New York Sun has a blunt
W’ay of telling the truth that Is re
freshing. Here is what it says about
slavery:
We are well rid of slavery. It was
a sure cause of trouble. You might
as well introduce poison into the hu
man system and expect no rebellion
of the outraged body, as to breed four
millions of slaves in a professed free
country and rest in security against
the tumult. The curse of that insti
tution, so out of relation w r ith our
ideas and theories, fell on both North
and South alike, and justly ; for one
w r as not more responsi file t han theot h -
er. It is the merest cant for us at tiie
North, who fattened on the products
of slavery and largely built up our
prosperity on the staple it produced,
to talk of the sin of those who actual
ly held the slaves. We never even
attempted to rid the country of it.
We made war on the South not as
slaveholders but as secessionists; and
only the urgent necessities of the con
flict precipitated emancipation.
