Heavy Grain Market.
Cairo, Illinois, is fast becoming the
great market for grain dealers in this sec

Valuable in I lie Olden Times.
Gentlemen tell us that in the days when j
Columbus had only one bridge, and that j
was the lower one, it brought to the city I
in tolls from twenty to twenty-five thou
sand dollars per year. The tide of immi
gration to the west at that time was im
mense.
Crops in itetlicl Settlement.
In this, one of the best sections of Alus

County Taxes.
East year Muscogee county paid some
seventy-five thousand dollars in taxes.
In this the State and county shared about
equally. It is expected that the returns
of the present will exceed those of the fis
cal year. The State tax is less than then.
The county will get about a tenth more,
probably about forty-four thousand dol
lars.
Tu<> Thirds <>f a Crop in Lee ami Kussell.
Judge A. Shotwell, who has just trav
ersed the eastern portion of Alabama,
thinks from present appearances the
southern portion of Lee county and the
northern part of Russell county with pro
pitious seasons, during the time which
lias yet to grow and make, will yield
about two-thirds ns much as last year.
Something of a ltow at Florence.
We learn from passengers on the last
bout that a drunken man in Florence cut
a negro, not fatally, in the neck. The
negro tired at him with a pistol. The
hull took oil' a little piece of the right ear.
A party of negroes then assembled to
mob the white man; but the whites also
collected and forced the darkies to keep
quiet. At otio time there was a prospect
of a pretty row.
The New Hat Store.
•1. R. Johnston has established a hat
store in the house lately occupied by J. 1).
Carter. lie is a young gentleman of ex
cellent business habits and will make a

and styles. The enterprising merchant, is
a sou of Mr. Calvin Johnston of the firm
•of J. K. Redd A- Go. Give him a cull.
Caterpillars in Kussell County.
Caterpillars plenty in Bussell county.
The lute rains which were so much needed,
have been partial. None yet in the neigh
borhood of Uchee, Sand Fort, and some oth -
•er localities. Corn crop very poor, thous
ands of acres that will not make the seed
planted. Cotton, (except the chances of
being destroyed by the worms,) is impro
ving, hut no earthly chance of making
anything like a full crop. Farmers very
gloomy.
Buried in Our Cemetery,
the remains of Mrs. Narcissa Boss
were brought from Opelika and interred
in our cemetery. Mrs. Boss was a lady
of sixty odd years of age, and a very
lovely character. Her husband was the

Capt. James Abercrombie, who, years ago
went to his rest. J. M. Bussell and J. J.
Abercrombie, Esqs., married her daugh
ters. Her residence was near Opelika.
The Christian wife and mother now sleeps
well.

■courteously managed.
Visiting Committee.
The last number of the Southern Chris
tian Advocate, of Macon, contains the
"lieport of the Visiting Committee of the
Wesleyan Female College,’' which is
signed by Mr. H. W. Verstille, of this
city, Bev. B. W. Dixon, of Talbotton,
and gentlemen from other portions of the
State. The same paper also publishes the
“Report of the State of the Church," of
the Columbus District, signed by Geo. A.
B. Dozier, John A. Frazer, and I. T. Cary,
committee. Both reports are ably written,
and can be read with much profit by all
members of the denomination whose
affairs and success they discuss.
A Wandering Boy-Anxiety Os a Father^
10l n\r r e reCWVed a letter fro “ Mr-
John M. Deason stating that his son, B.
Deason, aged nineteen, left the home
of his parents at Hauuahatchm, Stewart
county last Sunday, for no canle S
to h,s family. It is supposed that he has
gone to look at the western countries, as
he has been desirous for bis father to sell
out to go there. The distressed parents
oo not publish this to try and bring him
'ack, but to ascertain his whereabouts,
and send him funds to make the trip they
think he proposes to make. If he is sick,
or if any accident has befallen him, they
desire to give him aid. The father adds
that he hopes that he will find friends
wherever he may go, and will amply pay
all for their kindness and trouble who do
not allow him to suffer in case of sickness
accident and death. He had but ten dol
lars when he left home, that is known of.
The father also states that he is honest,
truthful, and a nobler specimen of man
kind does not exist. He is accustomed to
almost any kind of work.
Ihe youth is about nineteen years of
age, and not very robust.
Our exchanges, by copying or noticing
this, will confer a great favor upon a dis
tressed and worthy family.
Heath of Mr. Hamp. 3. Stewart.
This young gentleman, of our city, died
in Milledgeville Tuesday night at eight
o’clock, at the residence of his fatherdn
law, Dr. S. G. White. His age was some
twenty-nine years. In the full promise
ot life the fell destroyer, consumption,
claimed him for his own. Born and
i eared here, he had hardly an enemy in
the city, and counted hundreds of friends.
He was a true man. Since the war, he
has been most of the time engaged in the
clothing business of Columbus. Some
two years since he married a young wife,
and a child survives him. In the last few
years, Mr. John D. Stewart, the father of
the deceased has buried two grown sons
and a daughter.

negroes and Deputy Sheriff Burch, of
Russell—heuce he was released. He
went away rejoicing.
General Ketliune and Blind Tom.
Blind Tom, the celebrated musical ne
gro prodigy, has settled near Warrenton,
Virginia, on a farm which belongs to Gen.

The Cause of It.
We withdrew an article pulished in Fri
day’s paper, because Col. B. D. Lay as
sured ns, on his word of honor as a gentle
man, that he invited a party of friends to
accompany him down the river on a pleas
ure excursion, and was no second in any
dueling business. This was about the
substance of his statement and the cause
of our own in yesterday’s paper.
We do not know the views of the gen
tlemen of the other side, as they are very
reticent.
We write this in answer to the many
questions asked.
Insisted on Being: a Wife.
In front of Clemons & James’warehouse
yesterday a negress claimed she was the
wife of the colored driver of a country
team. He denied all such accusations.
She recalled some time, place and preach
er, blit be couldn’t remember worth a
cent. She denounced him as a falsifier
and he threatened her with his whip.
He did not strike her, however, and she
returned a volley of words. She swore
she was going to establish the fact that
she was his wife by the law, and make
him pay damages for the denial.
The Ex Cadets’ Convention.
I There are a number of gentlemen in
Columbus who were once Cadets in the
Georgia Military Institute at Marietta.
They will feel some interest in the an
nouncement of J. Milledge, President
ex-cadet Association, that they as well as
the ex-professors are invited to meet in
j Convention in Atlanta, on the first day of
! September next. The Central, Macon and
1 Western, Macon and Brunswick, Atlan
ta aud West Point, the State and Georgia
i roads will pass delegates to and from the.
I convention for one fare.
The Talbotton Brandi Railroad.
The surveyors have run a line from Tal
botton to Kiugsboro. The route by Pleas
ant Hill is twenty and a quarter miles
long. The return was by Eilerslie and
Mount Airy. This is one-half mile longer
than the other, and perhaps has more
rock. The estimates have not yet been
made.
Superintendent Chipley, of the North
and South Hoad, is now in New York, and
probably will not return for ten days.
The Productions of Our Cotton Mills.
Since September Ist, 1872, the goods
manufactured by the manufactories of
Columbus are roughly estimated in the
neighborhood of two million dollars.
Seven years ago there was not one in the
city or vicinity.
(btin in Cotton Receipts.
Columbus has thus far received 57,735
bales of cotton, being 17,307 more than
last year. Last season, after this date,
our warehouses received 222 bales. We
expect between now anil September Ist
twice to thrice that amount.
In this immediate section we hear little
of worms in cotton.

living two miles from Pleasant Hill, Ne
braska, lately cut off the head of his sister,
Mrs. Lackres, with an axe and then went
into a field a short distance from the
house and cut his own throat. No cause
can be assigned for the deed.
SIDEWALK KOTES.
A country parson, not a thousand miles

revival, when he flattered himself that
more than oue-half of them would be
damned.

on our river in greenbacks, was at the rate
of $3,000 per month. Mr. Frank Mark
ham was thus employed for eighteen days.
Mr. William Thompson was paid $2,500

These prices were in the flush boating
times just after the war.

JUT. AIRY ACADEMY.
Mt. Airy, Harris Cos., Ga., )
July 21st. >
Mr. Editor — Dear Sir: Our School
opened to-day. Near 50 pupils present.
Boarding houses rapidly filling. Please
state for my benefit, to the good people
of Marion, Chattahoochee and other coun
ties who deplore my death, that I carried
to the school room 2021 lbs. to-day, and
sustaining this amount of gross weight
labored KB hours.
Notwithstanding the report, so indus
triously and extensively circulated, of my
demise and funeral, last week, I feel more
like living now, than since my earliest
recollection.
Good rains, fine crops, cheerful people
in a hard-won victory over Gen. Green,
with an engineering corps (this after
noon) surveying a railroad route within
200 yds. of Mt. Airy Academy, who does
not feel profoundly grateful for life in
such a country?
Very truly yours,
J. G. Calhoun.
THE CATERTILLAR DESTROYER
yoT roisoyous.
Columbus, Ga., July 26, 1873.
Editor Sun: I see in your issue of
ta-day an inquiry as to “whether Paris
Green is poisonous, or not,” used as a
destroyer for the cotton worm.
It is poisonous—as all preparations of
arsenic are—but if it is used as directed
in Royal’s formula, for his “Cotton Worm
Destroyer,” there is but little or no danger
in it, as there is but oue part of Paris
Green to eighteen ana half parts of other
ingredients, (all of which are perfectly
harmless.)
I have been compounding a good deal
of it for the past few days aud experienc
ed no deleterious effects from it at all.
Yours truly, F. W. Harrison,
with E. C. Hood, Agt. for State of Ga.

Lager Beer.
By reference to a circular, it will be
seen that the beer manufactured by
Fechter, Alercer A Cos. is more whole
some and nutritions than the celebrated
Cincinnati beer. Air. W. J. Laud, for
merly of Columbus, one of the best and
most experienced practical chemists in
Georgia, has analyzed both, and gives his
testimony in favor of Atlanta. F. Reich
is the agent in Columbus. This beer has
already become a great favorite with Co
lumbus drinkers.
Completed.
Mr. Buhrer, the contractor, was in the
office yesterday, and stated that the Harris
ravine bridge in Girard was completed, aud
would be turned over to the county on
Wednesday.
Negro Violence in Kussell.
Mr. Henry Butts, a young man in the
employ of Mr. John McGough, in the
lower part of Russell county, on Tuesday
last was struck with a hoe, by a negro,
also in the employ of Mr. McGough.
It seems that the little sons of Mr. Mc-
Gough had some trifling difficulty with
the boy of the negro who struck Mr.
Butts, and the boy ran from the sons of
Air. McGough to the lot where Air. Butts
was, who caught hold of and held the boy
until the sons of Air. McGough came and
gave the boy a few licks, who then went
to the field where his father was at work
and told him about the difficultv. The
father went to the lot with his hoe. where
Butts was, and asked him what he had
whipped his boy for. Butts told him he
had not whipped the boy. The negro
then said, “if you ever touch my boy
again I will kill you.” Butts turned and
started to walk away, when the negro fol
lowed and struck him a blow with the
hoe, felling him to the earth unconscious,
in which condition he remained for sev
eral hours, his friends believing the blow
would prove fatal.
Air. AlcGough saw the blow struck and
approached the negro, who told him if
he came near him he would serve him the
same way. Air. AI., seeing the negro had
the advantage of him, declined a contest.
The negro made his escape.
Cotton Receipts at the Ports and the
Season.
The New York Financial Chronicle of
last Saturday has been received. The
total receipts at the ports since September
Ist are 3,552,169 against 2,703,608, show
ing an increase of 848,561.
The visible supply is 67,221 bales less
than last year.
If 15,000 bales per week are received
from this time to September Ist, and the
overland and Southern consumption reach
200,000 bales the crop for the season will
be 3,842,169 bales, being 867,818 more
than last year.
The Chronicle judges from its reports
from all quarters of the South that the
crop is promising everywhere, and is gen
erally clean. With dry weather its edi
tors apprehend no mischief from the cat
erpillars reported near Selma and Alont
goinery.
Secured His Hundred Thousand Hollars.
L. H. Keith, one of the owners of a dry
goods house in Kingston, near Boston,
Mass., has been to Louisville with his
father aud drawn the one hundred thous
and dollars, which his lucky ticket called
fflr, from the Louisville Lottery. The
Courier-Journal has a long account of
him. After getting his money he had a
quiet dinner and a wining at the Galt
House. He was accompanied by his
father, member of a dry goods house,
which lost everything in the Boston fire.
He has not yet decided what to do with
his prize. He is twenty-five years old.
On March 11th, 1873, he wrote to Gov.
Bramlette, enclosing one hundred dollars,
and asked him to select for him ten tick
ets in the lottery. This was done. One
has proved to be the lucky number, be
sides two others proved to be approximate
numbers ; so Keith drew $100,020.
Cholera Reported in Montgomery.
Passengers on the Montgomery train of
yesterday report two cholera cases in
Alontgomery. A negro buried lus wife
Friday at sunset, came home, was stricken
with disease and died the next morning
by eight o’clock. Cholera reports are
very frequently reported over the country
and turn out to be other diseases—cholera
morbus for instance—which are the re
sults of imprudence. We doubt very
much whether there is a real case of
cholera in Montgomery.
Dry Goods at Cost.
J. S. Jones, one of our leading and most
enterprising merchants, advertises his full
stock of summer goods at cost for fifteen
days. This is a good opportunity, for his
goods are among the very best, and he al
ways buys to the very best advantage. He
means business.
Fire in Clayton. —Between twelve and
one o’clock yesterday, while nearly the
whole population of Clayton was at the
Fair Grounds, the alarm of fire was given,
and it was promptly discovered that Hill’s
hotel on the public square, was in flames.
The whole crowd rushed promptly to the
scene, notorious, among which was Capt.
A. V. Lee’s hook and ladder company,
which was conspicuous for the prompt
ness of its attendance and its great effi
ciency during the time of the fire. It was
at once discovered that the large building
was beyond redemption, and the hook
and ladder boys, assisted by the people,
went to work for the destruction of small
adjoining buildiugs. Without this pre
caution, the whole business portion of the
town would have been consumed, as the
store houses are all connected very nearly
with the hotel and with each other. Alost.
of Air. Hill’s furniture was taken out, but
a great deal in the upper story was burn
ed. All of his outhouses and a small res
idence adjoining his property were des
troyed. A small wooden stole house, oc
cupied by Mr. E. Van Houten, as a house
furnishing store was torn down and his
goods damaged to the amount of about
two hundred dollars. Col. Clark’s store,
and that of Air. Parish & Liberstein were
in imminent danger, and the residences
of Air. F. A. M. Walthour and Mrs. John
son and the corner store near by were
saved by almost superhuman exertions.
Th j colored people, as they always do,
rendered most valuable assistance, aud
we think it but just to render the meed of
praise to those of our city fire department
who were present for the zeal and effi
ciency with which they worked. A sin
gle engine worked from the public well
would have saved this building, even af
ter the crowd arrived from the Fail-
Grounds, and we venture the opinion
that it is poor economy in our friends of
Clayton to deprive themselves of one.
The fire was first seen on the roof aud is
supposed to have caught from the carless
uess of a servant ironing iii the second
story. We have heard the loss
of Air. Hill variously estimated at
from six to ten thousand dollars, which
we regret exceedingly to learn was entire
ly without insurance. He has the sym
pathy of this community, as well as that
of his neighbors in Clayton.— Eufaula

The Coast Water Line and Western
and Atlantic Canal. —ln the extract from
a Washington dispa'cli taken from the
New Orleans Herald, the coast water line
alluded to was mistaken for the proposed
coast line along the Atlantic through Vir
ginia.
It was in reference to that route that
the remark was made that probably “not
a half dozen persons in Georgia” preferred
it to the Western aud Atlantic Canal. The
word “Gulf” was omitted in speaking of
the “coast water linehence the misap
prehension.
Os course a canal across our own State
would be necessary to connect Columbus
with any seaboard line. We make this
explanation for the benefit of the Colum

A correspondent of the Atlanta Consti
tution gives the following war incident:
General Sherman, with his splendidly
equipped army of one hundred thousand
men, wanted to give General Johnston,
with his army of fifty thousand veterans,
battle in the month of May, 1864, for he
well knew that every step General John
ston took toward Atlanta he became
stronger. Johnston was at Dalton, with
his advance at Ringgold ; his line of sup
plies, as well as of retreat, the Western
and Atlantic Railroad. Sherman con
ceived the idea of flanking Johnston by
sending AlcPherson, with his twenty-four
thousand men. around through Snake
Creek Gap to Resaca, or any other point
north of Oostanaulla river, with orders to
seize the railroad, hold it, and bnrn the
bridge at Reasca at all hazards. Mean
while he would keep the Confederate
army at Rocky Faced Ridge busy. Gen
eral Thomas doubted the success of the
plan, because, he said General Johnston
was too good a soldier to leave Snake
Creek Gap unfortified. But Sherman
was bound to try it, and so he started
McPherson, with the army of Tennessee,
on a mission, which, if carried out, would
result in as great an achievement as ever
was gained by armed men. Johnston
would be surrounded—hemmed in by the
Oostanaulla and Conasauga rivers on the
south and east, by John’s Mountain on
the west, he would have to surrender or
fight against fearful odds, double his
force attacking in front and rear. On
the Bth and 9th of May, Sherman ham
mered away at Rocky Faced Ridge and
Buzzard's Roost at a fearful late; and
during the night of the loth, a courier
from AlcPherson arrived at Sherman’s
headquarters with the information that
AlcPherson and his army had passed
Snake Creek Gap, and were within a
■mile oj the railroad! This was great
news for Sherman. He immediately
called for horses and an escort, and rode
to Gen. Thomas’ quarters, over a mile
away. Bursting in upon Gen. Thomas,
he shouted: “I told you so, Tom!” (In
familiar intercourse he always called Gen
eral Thomas Tom.) “AlcPherson passed
through the gap, and by this time has the
railroad, and has burned the bridge. I've
got Johnston dead! I’ve got him dead!”
Os course Thomas was overjoyed, they
congratulated themselves on ending the
campaign at its commencement. To go
down to Atlanta, and from there to Savan
nah would be holiday work. At daylight
a general advance would be made. Alc-
Phersou shall hear our guns before night.
Victory ! Before daylight another courier
came, and his message was that AlcPher
son had met a considerable force, and
considered it prudent to fall back to the
west end and fortify. Then Sherman
stormed, he said “the grand opportunity
is over—oh ! if I had only sent Osterliaus
or Charley Wood, or somebody who would
have done as I ordered, Joe Johnston
would have been mine before forty-eight
hours.” Sherman at once put his army
in motion for Resaca, via Snake Creek
Gap, hoping to get through before John
ston could get away, leaving Howard’s
corps to watch Buzzard Roost. But that
wiley chieftain had detected the object of
the movement, and he pulled up stakes at
Dalton, and, having the short cut, got to
Resaca before Sherman debouched from
Snake Creek Gap, while Howard’s corps
occupied Dalton. Then followed the
three days’ bloody fight around Resaca,
until the night of Alay 15, when Johnston
quietly slipped away to Kingston with his
army, the rear guard burning the railroad
bridge across the Oostanaula river.
Sherman did not get into Atlanta until
the 9th of September.
CliOT RETORT.
From the Albany News, iiotli.
The drought which prevailed iu this lo
cality for five weeks, doing much damage
to the crop, was terminated on Saturday
last at 1 p. m., by a general raiu, and since
then heavy showers have been frequent
and wide-spread. We doubt if there is a
spot in Southwestern Georgia, that is not
now a little too wet for the good of the
crops.
CORN.
This timely rain rescued much corn
that was upon the point of ruin, and will
increase the weight of that that was too
far advanced for serious injury from the
dry spell. About 20 per cent, of the crop
was, by bad culture, or no culture at all,
and the burning drought, totally destroy
ed. Fifty per cent, is as fine a crop as
ever grew in this region, and the remain
ing 30 per cent, will average above half
crop.
COTTON
is in terrible peril, and planters are more
gloomy than we ever saw them. The
rain of Saturday, Sunday, Alonday and
Tuesday softened the leaf, emboldened
the caterpillar and developed the very
worst apprehensions as to his presence
and strength.
HE IS UNIVERSAL,
and has opened brisk operations all along
the skirmish line. Every field in this
county, and we doubtnotiu Southwestern
Georgia, below Sumter and Stewart, is
infested, and the second hatching is vig
orous, numerous aud voracious.
Such planters as Boyt, Lockett, Smith,
Warren, Wilson, Alagbee, McLarin,Davis,
Jordan’s Managers, Evans, Mayor, Camp,
Walker, A Corley, Dozier, Walters, White
head, Willingham, and a host of others of
equal dignity and reliability pronounce
the opinion, that the prospect for com
plete disaster is without parallel at. this
early stage of the game. Many fields will
be stripped before Sunday night, and it is
believed the work of destruction will have
been fully aud fearfully achieved within a
fortnight.
THE DESTROYER.
Many are experimenting with Royall’s
and Whesenant’s preparations, and high
hopes are entertained that they will mate
rially check the worm, if not successful in
destroying it. Col. Lockett will have
sifted about SI,OOO worth of Royall’s by
to-morrow night, aud will use about SSOO
worth of Wheseuant’s. Capt. Boyt has
rrsed Boyall’s on one hundred acres, and
others are sending in orders faster than
the Alessrs. Welch can till them.
The efficacy of these poisons will have
been fully tested by to-morrow night, and
we shall then be able to report crop or no
crop.
If these experiments fail, the crop is
gone, and ruin is the doom of Southwest
ern Georgia.
LATER.
Jessie Walters reports the poison a com
plete success, aud Capt. Boyt says results
are satisfactory. He is happy.
STILL LATER.
At sundown yesterday evening, Col.
Lockett p issed our window and expressed
his belief that the poison is a successful
remedy. His face was beaming with glad
ness, and as he loft said: “Yes, I believe
the preparation will kill them; and that
we can save the crop.”
Glorious news, this! and God grant it
may be realized.
The Now York Herald points out a
provision of the constitution which for
bids the appointment of Senator Conk
ling to the Chief-Justiceship of the United
States. It is that provision which pro
hibits the appoiumeut of any Senator or
Representative to any civil office, the
emoluments of which have been increased
during the time for which he may have
been elected. The act of Congress, at
its last session, increasing salaries, in
cluded those of the Chief aud Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court.
This is good, so far as Coukliug is con
cerned. But suppose that the President,
when he finds that he cannot have Conk
ling, should appoint Underwood, of Vir
ginia, or Durant, of Louisiana. How
much would be gained in that event 1-
We expressed surprise, the other day,
at the defeat of one of the inevitable
Wasliburnes for the nomination as Gov
ernor of Aliunesota—“the first time one
of the irrepressible Washburnes had ever
been defeated in a Radical nominating
convention.” It now seems that the de
feat is not conclusive yet. Washburue’s
friends are claiming that he ought to have
been declared the nominee on one of the
ballotings, and are demanding a revision
of the affair. They maintain, we believe,
that few votes cast against him were in
tended to be cast for him and ought to
have been so counted —that a mistake
was made by the voters, not in the count.
We can’t tell yet how the affair will be
settled; neither can we conjecture what
will be the consequences to this country
if the nomination of Davis stands as de
clared aud one of the Washbuaues is left
in the cold.
Poor orthography saved a fellow at

THE GOLDEN SIDE.
There is ftiSny a rest in the roa<l oflife,
If we would only stop to take it;
And many a tone troni the better land,
If the qureulr.us heart would make it!
To the sunny soul that ts full of hope.
And whoso beautiful trust ne’er faileih,
The grass is green and the flowers are bright.
Though the winter storm prevaileth.
Better to hope though the clouds hang low.
And to keep the eyes still lifted ;
For the blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are riited !
There was never a night without a day,
Or an evening without a morning ;'
And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of lifo,
Which we pass in our idle pleasure.
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the misers hoaded treasure ;
It may be the love ot a little child.
Or a mother’s prayer to heaven.
Or only a beggar's grateful thanks
For a cup of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden tilling,
And to do God’s will with a willing heart,
And hands that are ready and willing,
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
Os our carious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends.
And sit and grieve, and wonder.

At Opelika, Al 1., on Saturday, the ll):h insL,
Mrs. N ARCISSA W. ROSS, relict of Isaac
Ross, deceased, in the 63d year of her age, hav
ing been born in Hancock county, Ga., on the
14th ol September, 1810. In the year 1811), her
father,a man of wealth and great energy,tempt
ed by tne rich river lands of the Tallapoosa
and the beautiful, healthful bordering hills, em
igrated and settled in the fork of the Coosa and
Tallapoosa, twelve miles above Montgomery.
There tne deceased lady grew up and married,
and there her parents now uc, and not iar irom
thence, near the same e'.nr a.og river and on
the same range of hills, she vpon: ie< st ot her
life—so that sue was an Alabimian in all but
the spot of her birth, and sue presented
throughout her long career a tine specimen of
the order of women that adorned and blessed
the best rural homes of Eastern Alabama from
Its earliest settlement. The domestic and social
as well as the politiea I regime of her times h*s
passed away. In a few years those who lived un
der it and were formed by it, men aud women,
will also have passed away, and there will be
none who can understand and appreciate as it de
serves, the noble,amiable,responsible sphere fill
ed, as of y<>re, by the agricultural Southern ma
tron at. the head of her grand household system
with all its diversified duties oi wife,mother,mis
tress, neighbor, kinswoman and friend. She to
whom we dropthis tribute knew how it should be
filled, and well, indoed, did see fill it, and when
that old order ot tilings to which she was bred
was wrecked by war and its lawless results, she
passed gracefully and firmly in anew and nar
rower sphere and filled that well, too. Cheer
ful and unrepining, kindly and beneficent at
tentive and industrious, she continue*] still, as
in better times, the centre ot happiness, love
ami veneration to all around her. Her nu
merous decendants, (nine living children and
thirty-two gra nil-children,) never scattered from
her. They all remained close about her to the
last; they all wept at her dying bedside; they all
followed her to the grave and bedewed it with
their tears—comforted, nevertheless, by the
precious remembrance oi ber virtues and by
the heavenly assurance that their loss is her
eternal gain.
