terrible ravages and the great sufferings it has

t otton.— ln view of the scarcity of money and
the deranged condition of money matters gener

who are indebted to me- I will also pay liberal
prices tor cottou and give in exchange goods at
prices as low as they can be bought anywhere else
iu the State, at retail. Those interested will £ud
lt to their interest aud benefit to call >nff see me.
It will not do tor busluess to come to a stand
still, and tbe way t* avoid it is to bring your
cotton to market. Every one may be sureol get
ting living price# for their cotton, aud, after your
obligation* have been satisfied, then, of course,
it is optionary with sacs one to dispose ol bis cot

Got my Fair to bx Hi ld On tsi 21 UorOiro
her— Determination to * .-veers fiK the
State Fair—An Appeal t • ti e People for
Action.
The Momoi Cuun‘y Agrieu! uni Society con
vened in tbe Court-Louse on Sataiday last, at 10
o’clock a. 11. Tbe President being absent, Col.
Crowder was called to tbe chair. The minutes of
last meeting were read and approved. The Sec
retary stated that i.i obedience to instructions,
the delegates to the last State Convention bad
entered Monroe county for tbe county premicm
at tbe approaching State Fair. He bad called one
or two meetings of tbe Society since, and only
three or lour members tad attended. Had talked
to many ab jut it, but could get np no enthusiasm.
Tbe people seemed cold ar.d indifferent. Ha had
received a communication from the Soeretery of
•.he State Agricultural Association, stating that
be bad learned, from “semi-official rumors,” that
Monroe county had declined to contend for the
county premium at tbe said Fair, and asking to
know the truth of said rumors. He (the Secreta
ry of Moroe Society) wished to know how to an
swer the Secretary ot State Society. Will Monroe
make an effort, or back down lrom tbe routesl?
That was me question we had met to-day to an
swer.
B. H. Napier moved that we do compete lor the
premiums. Thought it was a rare opportunity
to exhibit tbe resources of the country,—knew it
was a busy season, and in the midst ot tiuancial
pressure ; but thought our first determination a
wise one, and we should stick to it.
Mr. O. Holla .id thought the time too short; he
would not he willing to contend with the pros
pect of being beaten. He knew that our resources
are immense—thought that Mouroe whs equal to
uny eonuty iu the State, but tbit ibe lime is 100
short to do hcraell juitice iu such a cuitest as
this.
J. R. Banks thought we should not let the op
porlunlty pass to bring before the world the ex
cellencies and beauties of Monro., county. Other
counties, doubtless, were no more .orward than
ourselves, and we, being nearer ibe tceue ol exhi
billon, wouid bave an advantage over them.
G. M. Rhodes said there was too little enthusi
asm among tue people—they are busy now wim
other matters lrom which It is bard todiveit their
attention.
Capt. Napier read a letter iioui K. Tayli r (who
was unable lo attend), expreabi. g hi* ui qualified
uppr .baliou ol tbe uiaveiucui lo enter the con
test.
U. O. Banks was anxious to have ihe couuty
represented. Thought it was not too late yet to
take the first premium; and that it was better lor
her to take the second thau none at all.
Capt. Fonder admitted his ardor had been
dampened by the indifference ol the people. The
people were not alive to the importance of the
occasion. Tue county, however, might succcss
-1 ally compete lor the premium. Two years ago
when the proposition lor ho.dmg a Fair was first
broached, the people were as cold und indifferent
us now. But in a short time iht-y made a display
thut astonished everybody. Thought we could
do so again. Visitors will- attend the Fair from
all putts of the United States; aud Monroe can
make such an exhibition hs will Bj rt-ad her name
and fame far und wide. Thought If we determine
to compete, we should have a County Fair. Al
low two days lor said Fair, sr that people may
compare, rein force, and make tho very best dis
play possible. Monroe was riot afraid ot compe
tion
'1 tu Piifidtnt, Col. Crowder, lilt void, but did
not th.uk we should back down now. Let every
man go to woik, do his best, and spur up his
neighbor; wus proud ol Mouroe, and hoped to
see her always come out wilt, (lying colors; knew
sho could do Lcrsell honor if every man would lay
hold and devote h!s spare lime to preputatior.
Cupt. Napier’s motion was put to the society,
and eatried unanimously.
Mr. O. Holland stated iliat the die wus cast, and
he would now enter the contest with as much z al
as any man. 110 therefore moved that we declare
ourtelves a committee and meet every Saturday
until the Fair. Said motion was carried.
G. M. Rhodes moved we hold a County Fair on
the 23d and 24th of October (Thursday and Fri
day) preceding tbe State Fair. Adopted
Mr. O. Holland moved tho President appoint
a committee ot seven to make preliminary ar
raugemeuts tor said Fair, on the adoption ol which
mol ion tho President tqpiinted the tallowing
Committee:
G. M. Knout's, G. A. Cabanisj,
Andrew Di nn, J. M. Ponder,
S. D. Mobley, VV. A. Pyk,

On motion the Society adjourned to meet ou
Saturday next, at 10 o’clock, a. m , at which all
citizens ol the county are requested to he present.
J. T. CROWDER, President.
R. C. McGodgh, Secretary.
Mr. Editor : Having a leisure moment 1 have
concluded that 1 would write you a lew lines ou
the subject ot Crops, Taxes, Grai ges, a Conven
tion to aiur our Constitution, and will take them
up in the order indicated:
CROPS
of com in our Immediate section is vtiy good
whtre the lands were properly cultivated, and 1
thluk there will be less demand lor VVi-tcni coir,
next year than tar a number ol years past. Our
oat and rye crops were splendid ; unfortunately,
we had but little sown. Our wheat crops was
tolerably lair, however, scarcely au average crop
either, iu quantity or quality. Colton has had
several serious drawbacks. There was so much
rain that but few planters cultivated their cottou
Dell, which made it lute iu fruiting, then to “cap
thi climax” ol disaster, the boll worm made its
appearance, aud iry own opiniou is that cottcn
will tall about one-third short of what it would
hate made but for the disasters namid. Some of
uiv neighbors entertain the opinion that we shall
lall short one-half of our expectations.
TAXES.
By the by, what has become of tbe case carried
to the Supreme Court from our County? Has
the ease been decided ? If so, how ? I am anx
ious to know what the Supreme Court decision
is, and while I am also anxious tor our county to
be ont of debt I am not willing to pay twice as
much taxes lor IS7I, and 250 per cent lor IS7J -
liO per cent more 'hsn Judge Hall decided could
be collected from the reristlng Taxpayers for
1872—and then be taxed ’o help pay ‘be cost and
expeuses incurred by tbe couuty in consequence
of the resistance mr.de, amounting to not less, I
suppose, thau twelve or fifteen hundred dollars,
besides tbe loss by delay to the county in collect
Ing ths taxes due.
• RANGES.
VV’hilst I am uow and have always hceu opposed
to secret political societies ; so much o that ye.-r*
ago ( publicly asserted that I should never be a
member of one. J think I cau foresee, in the Pa
trons of Husbandry, the Day Star ol Hope for tbe
tanners, who compose the substratum from wbieh
all our wealth is drawn. The farmers comprise, I
p esgiue, forty-nine fiftieths of our population
and yet it is a rare thing for one of them to get
any office ol honor or profit • ol course, being an
outsider, I know nothiug o t their secrets, but
have been told that they ignore politics. But to
my mind there is mere prospect of their doing
good by uniting their forces ou prudent and iu
tell igeDt tanners tar their law makers, and thus
save thousands ot dollars annually drawn from
their pockets by extravagant legislation. I am
not opposed to auy man being a law QLikei, lgt
bis protession be w hat it may, but my experience
satisfies roe that tbe ipau who has made inis living
at the plow bandies knows the value of money
and is not likely to squander it loolisbiy.
constitutional convention.
I am decidedly in favor ot U, for more reasons
than 1 can enumerate In this short communica
tion Suffice it to say, that ia my opiuiou tbe
present Constitution gives the Executive ol State
too much power, though 1 am sure our present
excellent Governor w ill uot abuse it. it gives too
)ung lime to judicial officers, also to members of
Legislature; it prohibits the collection of auy
county taxes on more than ball of the t*x payers
ol the State. The only valid objection f Have
beard urged against the' Convention was that ol
the expenses. A single dollar collected lor county
purposes tor oue year, lrom each taxpayer, would
pay ibe entire expense ot a Convention, to say
nothing ol the vast benefits to be derived and re
sult lrom a Convention to tie composed ol the
good people of Georgia.

llcuth of a Lovely lioy—ln
scribed to ’Mrs. . IS .
How har.i it is lo g.vc thee up. uiy j reclous boy!
(Who n is lor lath tilled my anxious heart
With joy;)
To see thy baik a wreck upon life’s stormy sea, —
Thy lona glow cold, that oace was full of life
and glee!
How Lave i watebad ib= b ij.ting of thy heart and
mind!
In whieb I found so many lovtly trails combined ;
flow have I longed to see thee reach niaiurcr
years!
But now alas! those hopes have changed to bitter
tears!”
If deatb, by slow degree, had shown bis visage
grim;
If day by day iby cheek had paled, thine eye grown
dim,
I eonld, perhaps, have borne this grief Ln better
part,
Which bath so crushed the dingiug tendril# of
my heart.
But oh! to see thee oue day joyous, bright, and
gy.
The next all shrouded for !hy narrow house of
clay!
Although I’ve schooled my heart, auJ met afflic
tions rare,
This stroke— thin laxt $aJ stroke— seems more than
I can bear.
Ob, Father, do my Heart with resignation fill,
And shield us while on earth from every lutnre
ill!
Oh, may my thoughts no longer eliug uuto the
past.
Bewailing hopes that were too biaulitu! to last!
Aud when the task alloled us on earth is done,
Oh, may we calmly look upou lita’s setti g sun!
Till then, resign our ” loved and lost” unto thy
hand,
With hopes of a reuniju iu that ” b.tter laud.”

Undf.veicpep Vigor.—Tho leeLlo and de
bilitated Uf nally fancy they aie in a more hopeless
condition than shey r.aily are. The resources of
nature are rot entity exhausted. Even when
strength and appetite fail, when the eyes are
heavy and Institle.-s, the complexion pallid, the
n< iv.s tr. a ulons, the body attenuated, and tbe
miid depress!d, there is generally a reserve ol
’aunt rower behind sneh palpable evidences of
weakness. Various modes of treatment are re
sorted to by physicians in tbe hope of developing
and rtnderiog available this store of sk-epinc- vi
tality, but tbe surest, and indeed the only thor
oughly safe and reliable means of awakening the
dormant energies of the system is a course ol
Hosteller’s Stomach Bitters. Electricity shower
baths, the flesh brush, seu bathing, etc., may
be well enough iu their way as auxiliaries, but
they do l.ot reach the source of the evil. All
physical debility proceeds either from a derange
meut of the tanctions of the assimilating, secre
tive and vital organs, or from a sluggish consti
tution. ln either case, aud also in eases where
both causes exist, the Bitters will invariablv pro
duce su immediate and salutary change in the
<ondition of the patient, and eventuul'.y effect a
complete cure. None o! the dangerous alkaloids,
too often administered rs tonics, can be other
wise than deleterious under such circumstances,
and to give mercury is positively criminal. The
direct effect of the gieal vegetable specific will be
manifested in an improved appetite, a more cheer
ful frame of mind, a gradual return of strength,
an increase ol flesh, and a healthier complexion
Meanwhile, however, the constitution, if iner* and
f< tble, will bave been rouied aud renovated by
the subtle elements of itivigoratiou contained iu
the Bitters.

PAIN-KILLER.
n AS been tut led in every varit ty ol climate and
. by almost every nation known to Americans.
It is the constant companion aud inestimable
trie no ol the missionary and traveler, on the sea
ot land, and no one should ravel on our Lakes or
Rivers, without it.
Since the P ii.N KILLER was lint introduced,
and met with such extensive sale, many Lini
ments, KeliefS, Panaceas, and other Remedies
have been ottered to the public, but not one of
them has attained the truly enviable standing ot
the PAIN-KILLER,
Why is this So?
it is because DAVIS’ P VIN KILLER is whut.it
i lairns to be, a Reliever ot Pain.
ITS MERITS ARE UNSURPASSED.
(f you are sufieting front internal paiu, Twenty
to Thirty Drops in a little water will almost in
stantly cure you. ' There is nothing to equal it for
CILIU, CRAMPS. SPASMS, 11E\RT-BURN,
I>l VKRHKA, DYSEN TERY, FLUX, WIND
IN THE BOWELS, SOUR STOMACH,
DYSP E PS IA, SIC KHEA D A Cl IE, etc.
In sections ol the country where
Hever and Ague
prevails, there is no remedy held in greater es
teem. Persons traveling should keep it by them.
A few drops in water, will prevent sickness or
bowel troubles from change o! Water.
From foreign couutri s the calls lor PAIN
KILLER are great. It is found to Cure Cholera
when all other Remedies fail.
When used externally, as a Liniment, nothing
gives qu eker ease in Burns,Outs, Bruises,Sprains,
Stings irom Insects, a:.d Scalds Ii removes the
tire and the wound heals like ordinary sores. The
buttering with Rheumatism, Gout or Neuralgia, it
not a positive cure, they liud the PAIN KILLER
gives them rebel when no other remedy will.
It gives instant relief irom Aching Teeth.
Every liousekeejn r should keep it at hand, and
apply it on the lirst attack of any pain. It will
give satisfactory relief aud save hours ot sutlering,
Do not trifle with yourselves by testing untried
remedies. Be sure vou always call for and g<t
the genuine PAIN KILLER, as many worthless
nostrums are attempted to be sold on the great
reputation ot this valuable medicine.
