t>F THE
COURT HOUSE.
Interesting Ceremonies,
lion. Wm, E. Dodge and family of
\ew York city, arrived in town
last week on avisit combining both bus
sn 88 and pleasure. The
•he presentation to the people of the
•county of the targe Court House
\vhicli hud been previously erected at
this place, a**d the latter to enjoy the
hospitality of Mr. \V. P. Eastman,
W&ile Triplicating tor a few days
Tumafg <our waving pine forest, and
troatbe the balmy air of the Empire
laden with the fragrance of
spring’s sweet offering,
According to previous arrangement
••announced in last week’s issue, a large
••and select audience assembled in the
'court house last Saturday evening at
: 3 o'clock to witness the ceremonies
H*f the presentation of the Court House
and land on which it stands, to the
people of the county. The meeting
was culled to order, Mayor Hall c ech
cd chairman, and that gentleman in a
lew well chosen remarks introduced Mr.
Dodge to the audience. He arose and
requested Major Armstrong to read
the deed from himself, and Mr. East
man, convoying the Court House
and grounds to the Ordinary of the
and his successors in office, in
tfust, for the people which having
been done, Mr, D. proceeded to make
an .address of some fifteen or twenty
toniimitcs to the people assembled, upon
itbe advantages of their climate, ac
possibility in market, and thd com
•mcixxaul value of their property, To
3itifcw.pt a synopsis would be but
dnting injustice to the quiet dignity
it ml chaste beauty of tjie gentleman’s
address. With no attempt at rhetorical
hourish, of oratorical thunder, it was
a simple plain, straight forward expo
sition of facts leaving himself and his
noble gift, entirely in the back
ground, and breathing throughout
an interest iu our people, and section,
which was warmly appreciated by
his hearers, and loudly applauded
at its conclusion.
Mr. Dodge having taken his seat,
Col. Thomas 11. Dawson in behalf of
the Ordinary, and people, arose to
return thanks to that gentleman for
lok noble gift and to assure him ol
their appreciation of his unosten
tatious interest in ttx'.ir behalf.—
The Uol, had made the mistake (an
"unusual one with him, as he is not in
the habit of writing his speeches,) of
reducing his thoughts to manuscript,
and not having had time, owing to
other pressing duties to memorize it,
he made two or three pauses in his
address, which much marred its beau
ty. Upon the conclusion of his ad
dress, Judge Nesbit being in the hall,
was loudly called for, wheu he arose
and excused himself by saying that
this was a matter of the residents of
the county, and he thought it inopor
t inc for him to make any remarks in
addition to what had been already
said.
Mr. Eastman, meanwhile, had taken
refuge behind the Judge’s stand, from
Which place of concealment he was
drawn forth by repeated calls, and
with the modesty so well known to
his intimate friends, said that he had
promised the committee, to do any
thing they said “except make a
speech,” abd that under their contract
with him, he claimed himself# as enti
tled to be excused.
Mr. George 11. Ilazlelmrst was then
called upon, who arose in his usual
qhict uud dignified manner, and gave
quite ah encouraging talk upon the
future of the country, the hopeful con
dition of the Railroad interest and oth
er matters in which our people aye in
terested. llis remarks Were straight
forward, plain, concise and practica
ble, and gave a clear insight in the
character of the man, so well known
for his energy and vim, and whose
lexicon contains no such word as ‘fail.’
He was listened to with profound in
terest, and tfie audience showed their |
appreciation of his sentiments by the
word of applause which greeted the
conclusion of his remarks.
The audience then set up a roar for
Major Armstrong, who ascended the
stand and told an anecdote which
brought doWn the house, being in ef
feet than he was like a drunken man
Whom a gentleman found in his house
on his retufn from church, and having
accosted hinv, he replied that “he had
hothing to say.* lie gave the hie,
cough and stagger With such artistic
grace and so “natural ’ that some of
hia friehds insisted on snuffing his
breath., and examining his hat to see
if tlicre Was not adint in it. When
five laughter bud subsided, Mr. Ham
late id iter of v f lutes. was loudly
lulled lor, who in h’s M>x**al pithy and
concise style, excused niiu-self, on fire
grourtd that “Wbbn a gentleman of
Mi;. Dodgb’S high position had so late
ly addressed them and other gentle
then far his superiors in wit and tal
ent, announced that they ffiaj nothing
to say,’ he thought it would be unwar
rantable presumption in him to attempt
to interest the audience. A motion
was then made to adjourn, and thus
ended the pleasant occasion, long to
be remembered by those who were
pr!Br nf.

Editor Eastman Times :-7-Probably a
few lines from this section of the coun
ty will be ot some interest to yourselt
and the many readers of your valua
ble paper. The farming interest is
promising, from the fact that the far
mers are preparing to raise their pro

ol their crop in corn, peas, oats, sugar

Recently I had the pleasure of or
ganizing a Grange at Lancaster Meet
ing House with 27 members ; R. E.
Mills, W. M. and Wm. S. Lancaster,
Secretary.
In recent issues of your paper, I
find great improvement as to general
and local news and the paper in all its
parts generally. My daughter has
preserved several valuable receipts in
it, which she regards as much more
valuable to her than the subscription
price.
I am glad to know that your sub
scription list is increasing and to see
the people of our county and adjacent
counties manifesting, such an interest
in your paper. I regret that our mail
lacilities are such that my paper is
sometimes two weeks coming to this
office from the time it is mailed by
you.
Will let you hear from this section
occasionally. James Bohannon
The Way to Encourage Immi
gration,
Major Melchers, the State Commis
sioner of Immigration, in a circular Id
ler to the commissioners in the interi
or, says :
“I have been assured by competent
authority that with ten thousand dol
lars, and fifty thousand acres of land
donated, some ten thousand families
may be brought to the State by next
winter. Without inducements to offer
to immigrants none will come, as the
West and other Southern States are
in the field to get all tli2 immigrants
that come. Tennessee, for instance,
has offered a hundred- thousand acres
of land gratis, to be divided in alter
nate sections to immigrant families ;
and Virginia has appropriated fifteen
thousand dollars for the same purpose.
1 am happy to say, that in some dis
tricts of the State the people have of
fered lands at very low prices, and
given some gratis, but the movement
should be general, and every district
should do all in its power to induce
immigrants to settle in our State.
Since issuing the letter, Maj. Mel'
chers has received information that
Col. J. B. Moore, of Statesburg, has
donated three thousand acres of land,
to be given to immigrants in alternate
sections of fifty acres. This gentle
man comprehends the situation.—
White immigrants will not remain in
South Carolina as hired laborers. Their
natural and proper desire is to have
farms of their own. They will conic
and stay it land be given them; espe
cially as more money will be made
here than in the exclusively grain
growing States. Otherwise, they will
continue to go West.— Charleston
Courier.
ADDRESS OF
COL. THOS, H, DAWSON
In Reply to
IION. Wm. E. DODGE.
Mr. Dodge : 1 have been requested
by the Ordinary (who by the laws of
this State has the conservation of the
people as well as the Affairs of the
county as Ordinary) in the behalf of
the officers and that of the wdiol e peo
ple, to make their acknowledgements
and to return their kindest thanks and
express gratitude to you, sir, for tlie
rich and noble gift you have made them
hi giving the court house to the county
that bears your honored name. Be
assured, sir, that these people will
maintain and cherish the name of tlie
county and no unhallowed hands will
dare touch it, by their consent or con
nivance ; no. sir, they will cherish its
name and preserve it, in remembrance
of its noble douo r. Tlie people of this
county owe you much, sir, for the civ
ilization you have brought amongst
them, you found it a wild, unimproved
country, like a desert or darkling wik
derness, and it is due to your efforts
that it is now blooming with its fra
grance. *
They have schools of a high order,
they have Sabbath, school in this town
of some eighty or one hundred scliol-
who are taught in the divine civ
ilization and liberty of tlie bible; they
have a city in embryo, society iniprov-
ing arid increasing, a splendid and
beautiful structure for their courts of
justice, the envy and admiration of the
whole State; but most of all, they
have a fine newspaper, the light of the
world; that is the greatest power that
enables every people and tells them
when to resist tyranny any and every
where, like a watchman on ths tower
that gives the alarm when the enemy,
approaches, it brings the news from all
parts of the world and distributes it
among the people, and it should find
its way into every hamlet and home
stead and percolate its way as it were
into every house from the father to
mother and to children, nor does it
stop at thi.*, sir, the farmers have
aroused themselves to anew life, dis
daining to lie down dormant in their
poverty and lethargy ; but are inspir
ed with renewed energy to improve
there lands, their condition and
cover their fields with the waving
grain as well as the beautiful staple,
and improve their muuneis, an iauuf
irig to overcome all hindrances lu this
respect, and surely and steadily a civ
ilization is passing through this coun
try like the night dews but not the
less certain and will, not far distant
cover the whole land. B t there are
other attendant efforts leading to the
same end, assistants of the groat work
which you yourself had begun. I can
almost see with a prophet’s eye in the
not far distance a garden, as it were
in this portion of the country that will
be an ornament to your bounty, that
will fill your eye and heart with pleas
ure lor the success of the grand and
noble work undertaken by you.
We arc not without a knowledge,
sir, of your great and noble charities
elsewhere, in alleviating the cares and
sorrows of others, in building up and
extending civilization wherever you
may be, and what, sir, is a greater
work in this life, one that has engag
ed the noble minds of all ages, na
tions, countries and times from the
sandalled priest to the humanitation
and not less sir yourself, when en
gaged in extending the bounds of civ
ilization, to open the eyes of the be
nighted, emancipate the oppressed
and down-trodden and “head the bro
ken hearted,” to elevate the character,
reform the morals, arouse and enlight
en the soul and to build a high stand
ard of virtue and honor ; and then
with the education that follows all
will be accomplished that makes man
happy, that make*? man a god. To
elevate his mind, to sec and contem
plate nature around him, the sun that
teems his ra}- s upon the earth and
cover it with a carpet ol •living' green,
tin* Iduc vault of heaven and the gen
tle rivulet that trickles at his leet,
the starry heavens and the blushing ol
the flowery valleys, the moon that lifts
her wondrous tale, the emblem of chas
tity and the songs of the birds in the
beautiful wood, all enable him to com
prehend its wander. Should it be
ycur lot to return again to this
county in the progress of time, I can
not doubt that you will see this fully
verified and accomplished—again, sir,
allow me, in behalt of these people to
extend to you their grateful thanks for
these noble gifts of your love to man;
and I will assure you sir, that there is
no cold formality or idle testimony ;
but it is the out pouring of the hearts
of this whole people. Then when it
is their pleasure and sorrow when it
suits your convenience to go onward
to your Northern home, to bid you a
long farewell ! whether you shall take
the lightning rail that hies you amid
and amongst the lofty mountains or
pass the grassy valley, the beautiful
flowers or sighing winds in these
sweet ami lovely spring days or wheth
er on the wide expanded ocean, amid
the deep toned thunder, the rushing
storm and roaring wave or amid the
balmy air that press the white expand
ed sails that wafts you as a “thing of
life” over the even surface, and wave
as soft as a pillow, wide the sun
beams play upon it, and down deep iu
tlie mysteries of her bosom, where the
beautiful fishes despert themselves or
play along its soft surface, you will
carry with you to your own beautiful
home far away, the warm regards and
affection of this people who with
their hearts on high, will give you a
deep libation ot love and wishes for
your future health and happiness.
A number of very respectable and
strictly moral young gentlemen of St.
Louis have organized an association
to be known as the ‘Gallant’s Club,’
the object which is to furnish young
ladies who have no regular beaux to
church, concerts, lectures, and places
cf amusement. All members have to
undergo a rigid examination as to
character, etc., before they are admit
ted, and they obligate themseves to
obey all orders of the executive com
mittee. Any lady w ishing an escort
has only to apply to the president of
the society, naming tlie evening,
and a young man is detailed for the
purpose. As soon as a young man
liecomc* engaged he must withdraw
from tlx; organization.

Fire.- The negro Methodist church
at this pice was, on Saturday last,
consume! by fire—-supposed to have
been doc by an incendiary.
We ntice several tons of guano at
the depef, consigned to the good far
mers ofthis region. They, we pre
sume, c4i temp late placing it around
their cofi, about the first of May, and
not in the hill as many have hereto
fore born in the habit of doing.
Then are a number of our mer
chants just now purchasing their
spring Ynd summer goods. We pre
sume they concluded to wait and see
how money matters were.
We are pleased to grasp the hand
of our efficient Ordinary, who is now
in town looking after the interest of
the county. The Judge seems to be
-cc o-ond health and is jovial,
• frv
Although we have had a weoK or
more of warm and dry weather, yet
the public roads of this vicinity are
almost impassable. We had an occa
sion a few days since to ride out on
the road leading from Baxley to the
Altamaha River. We found the road
in such a condition that we found
great diffi ;ulty in reaching our desti
nation. We call thj a (nton of the
Grand Jurors to this fact.
Crops.— We learn from several of
our most prominent farmers, that their
corn prospect is good. They do not
intend to plant but little, if any cot
ton this season. But highly fertilize
their corn and plant on a small scale,
and risk the result. We advocate
this plan and think if they will stick
to it, and devote more time in the
accumulation of manure and apuly it
to corn instead of cotton, they will
soon realize value received for their
labor and time, that has been so fool
ishly expended in the cultivation of
cotton at twelve and a half cents per
pound.

Baxi.ey, Ga., March 30th
Editor Eastman Times: —The wide
and extensive ciiculation of your pop
ular, and interesting sheet induces
me to solicit a small space; calling
the attention of limber cutters on the
“Ten Milo Creek,” to a matter highly
important, and paramount in its na
ture to all: The removal of all trees,
stumps, lojjß &u\ obstructing the
channel of this stream; and certain
angles the progress of
timber down, should be straitened.
Now tnat summer is fast approach
ing, the only time in which this work
can he effectually douc.as the fullness
of the creek during the winter pre
vents; it is therefore expedient that a
matter so prodigious, and efficacious
to all, should be duly considered The
removing of these obstructions can be
readily accmiplished, with but little
labor, and expense; Let any man so
interested equip himself with a good
spade, ax and resolute will, faithfully
devoting a few days work to this
stream, and it would afford naviga
tion lo eight and ten pieces of tim
ber; whilst in its present condition,
at the highest stage of water, it will
admit ol but five sticks.
The actual benefits, that each and
every one would desire from this
small appropriation of labor will be
not only directly remunerative, but
lasting; yielding yearly a’arger per
cent, by reducing the inevitable ex
penses attending the conveyance of
timber down this stream ; and with
her gradual enlargement, there will
be an adequate reduction of expenses,
now limber being conducted do vn at
the same rates, and in less fitne.
A matter so general, and yet di
rectly connected with each individual
interest, should bo self-constringent
Let us remain no longer passive, but
with unity of feeling, and concert of
action lay hold, permitting not another
season to find us laboring under the
same difficulties ; groaning not only
under a heavy taxation of time, but
capital ; I therefore admonish each
and every one to awake from this
lethargy, and shake off this yoke of
self-oppression, and abuse no longer,
such a great provision of nature.
Now that the Legislature has deem
ed it expedient to protect the chan
nel of the “Ten Mile Creek” from ob
structions of any nature conceding an
affixed fine of SSOO, for the violation of
said act, one-half paid to the informer,
and the balance lor educational pur
poses of the county; it therefore be
comes more essential, that this
additional improvement should be
made. Impediments of any nature
being removed, the drifting of timber
may be effected in one day down the
entire stream, otherwise ■it cannot be
done. Parties being necessitated to
deposit their rafts of timber in nooks,
brandies &c, out of the channel, at
tlic approach of night or become
liable.
linpK.viigyour landing is exceed
iugly important in facilitating this
business, that your timber may be
readily conducted in the stream for
drifting.
Nature has done the work already,
but the finishing stroke of man is re
quired. When this is done, we will
look forward to the timber business
on this stream as being exceedingly
lucrative, enhancing the value of tim
ber and lands, accessible to its waters

Grand Jury Presentments of
Appling County.
YVe the Grand Jurors, selected,
chosen and sworn for Appling County
at the March term, 1874 of the Superi
or Court, beg leave to submit the fol
lowing General Presentments :
We in obedience to what we con
sidered to be our duty, in place of
examining the Comity Office books,
have appointed a committee of
three to examine and report at the
next term, our time being too much
to_jrivc them that attention
that tney sliouici receive.
We have labored faithfully to inves
tigate all violations of the criminal
law in our county, and have the un
pleasant duty to report that instead
of their being any reform in that par
ticular, we find that crime has been
rampant in <u • land and cannot too
forcibly condemn the parties engaged
in these disgraceful proceedings so
long as the people can act with impu
nity and disregard the law. Just so
long is our personal liberty and per
sonal security in peril,, with all this,
we have endeavored to perform our
duty, wholly and partially in the
premises.
Our Public Roads are in bad condi
tion, and recommend a stricter atten
tion on the public officers to this duty.
As soon as can be ascertained, we
recommend the Ordinary to impose
such tax as will meet the entire in
debtedness of the county, furthermore,
we recommend that the Ordinary be
authorized to have the inso’vent tax
Fi. Fa’s, advertised and sold. We
furthermore ♦ecominend that the com
mittee appointed begin to examine
the County Officers’ Books, be further
more empowered to investigate how
much is realized from the sale of the
vrild land sold, and after paying all
costs, incident to the same, how in ich
is left for the benefit of the Public
School fund. We furthermore recom
mend that the Ordinary take steps at
once to see that the moneys arising
from the above mentioned sale be pakl
into the Treasury of the County at
once to be applied to the Public Scln o
fund.
Wc have accepted the report of the
committee appointed by the last Grand
Jury to adjust the difference between
the County and County Officers and
attach their report hereto. Wc have
the pleasure of complimenting the gen
tlemen composing the committee for
the able and efficient manner in which
their duty was performed.
We recommend that John F. De-
Lacy, B. D. Mobley, J. J. Clark receive
as compensation for their services on
said committee the surn of twenty
seven dollais, of this amount John F.
DeLa< y receives $15.00, J. J. Clark
S4.CO, B. D. Mobley SB.OO, and we
recommend that the Ordinary bo au
thorized to draw on the Treasury for
these respective funds.
We respectfully ask that his Honor,
Judge A. C. Pate, accept our warmest
thanks and acknowledgements for his
kindness and courtesy to our body
and pray that his life be prolonged so
that his able services may be render
ed in behalf of the State of Georgia
to whom we are grateful as citizens
for the appointment of such an up
right, just and rightouß Judge.
To the Solicitor General, we return
thanks for his promptness and
efficiency and promise him life and
health, permitting a long and success
ful life. Conscious that we have per
formed our duty, we ask to be dis
charged for the term, and recommend
that these General Presentments be
published in the Eastman Times.
