Agricultural Society.—This body met on
latt Saturday, and disposed oi a large amount of
imuorlaut business tu reference to the arrange
ments for the State Fair. A resolution was iutro
duced aud passed, requesting all the geutlt men
and laidies o! the age ot TOyears and upward to at
tend the C utity Fair, ou the 23rd , and with the
ite-v. Iliram Phinszee, as Chairman, to consider
the propriety of attending the State l air in a body.
An earnest appeal was made to each aud every
citizen, to bring some article that would show the
wealth anJ n itural roso.ire -s of our county.
A Successful Southern Enterprise. —Capt.
R. N. Miller, general trave log agent ot the Somb
er n Life Insurance Compary, is in cur city for the
purpose of organic ng a banch office. The organ
ization of tlii* Company has been effected since the
war,for the purpose of arresting the great current
of money that was annually fl .wing to the North,
and of investing it home; and its marked success
show- beyoLd all question that it was organized
on a firm basis, aud with honest, intelligent, aud
superior financier*.
This Company not long since, by arrangement,
bad the business ot the Carolina Life Insur
ance Company transferred to it, which added
greatly to its strength, financially and olbvrwUe.
The plans of insurance adopted by it are old and
tamiliar—being ot the same character as the
rtrongest companies in this country or Europe.
Capt. Miller proposes to establish iu our midst
what is called an advisory board, which is consti
tuted of all policy holders, wco elect an executive
committee, composed of six. Ihis committee
select from their number a President, Vice Presi
dent, aud Secretary. This board is charged with
the duty of superintending the payment ot all
life- losses. The Company agrees to invest in the
county a reasonable amount of its reserved funds,
under the direction aud with the advice of the
local board. E-ch member, who secures the in
surance of others, is entitled to a brokerage ot
15 per cent, on the amoaut of premium.
It is calculated that over seventy millions of
dollars are annually sent North for insurance;
uow if this Company, as it proposes, can keep
this money at home, it will have accomplished a
great work for the South. Ore oi the leading
leatures in it is, that any policy-holder in another
coiirirariy can be transferred to it without addi
tional cost or outlay. Seven years ago, the
•‘Southern Life” commenced operations with as
sets amounting to $.150,000. Its assets amount
now to two and a half millions.
At the head of this institution we find Gens.
Jno. B. Gordon and A 11. Colquitt, which fact iu
itself is sufficient to inspire the greatest confi
dence. We have lakeu some trouble to investi
gate the matter, and, from the facts iu our knowl
edge, cordially and confidently recommend it to
our citizens.
Capt. Miller will remain at thii post it a board
is established.
P. 8. —We have seen letters from worthy men,
recommending Capt. Miller iu terms ol unquali
fied approbation.

Mr. Editor: A late issue of your paper con
tained some “inkling* by tbe way,” caught up, I
suppose, in your fly itig visit to our Superior Court
; last term ; prominent among which, were your
remarks about a macadamzed road between this
poiat and Forsyth.
When it is considered that tha property on
which the famous little Indian Spring is situate,
was especially reserved by the State in its treaty
with tne Indian chieftain, Gen. William Mclntosh,
to be set apart exclusively for the public benefit,
and forever free to its cit zens and the citisens of
the world, a leeliDg of State pride Is virtually en
listed in favor of any enterprise that seeks its de
velopment and formation. For, be it Known, as
early as 1815, when the feathered warrior yet held
the occupant’s title to the territory, and cn those
hills tattooed for war and smoked the pips of
peace, the tents of the “ paie-face,” seeking the
magic virtue ot this water, whitened the vistas in
tbe torests.
So acknowledged had the efficacy of thia little
foant become, that in 1825, the State, appreciating
the treisure in its bosom, preserved it from the
hand of the individual, and gave us all an interest
in ii. Beyond truly setting it apart to the public,
nothing bas been contributed ; nothing done to se
cure its enjoyment to the public ; nothing accom
plished whereby it has become attractive, accesei
ble, and an honor to Georgia. While other places
have been the recipients ot the State’s bounty,
and the people at large have been taxed for local
benefit, yet this Spring (the water of which
sian is second in rank, at the National Laboratory,
only to the waters of Saratoga) in which all have
an it rest, and should feel a pride, has been left
a monument of neglect, apparently because of the
poverty of the owner.
If tiie people feel a just aud reasonable
pride in the preservation of public property, and
iu improving, enhancing aud beautifying the
same, a sufficient reason is offered, perhaps, why
attention, through the people’s representatives,
should be called to it. Strenuous efforts should
be exerted iu behalf of a macadamized road, be
tween the railroad and a property that has kept
thousand i of dollars within its borders, and has
distributed the ble.singa oi health to thousands
ot its ci'iz ns. Some en?y access is demanded to
make She place ab >ve repot 'lion as a summer re
torl; and thus th; b-uet; vis! bererpad by all
wee i<>; entitled p> enjoy them.
If. howtve , State pride, and one apprecia
tion oi the belli ft s already reaped, are not a suffi
cient reason lor this propery’s receiving any of
’he Stale’s bounty, let our legislators aud our
lawgivers, who study order aud good government,
aud the economy of government, consider ear
nestly whether or not money or labor expended
iu beautifying, making accessible and popular the
Indian Spring, would be a judicious outlay of
tunds; whether or not the expenditure of money
by the State to improve this property, is a finan
cial blunder, if it causes thousands of dollars,
which would otherwise go to enrich our Yankee
cousins, to be circulated among our own people.
We take it that it property is enhanced iu va’ue,
if our money is spent among ourselves, and lor
ourselves, that we are progressing iu wealth, in
happiness, aud to true stability. If, then, public
interest, as well as public pride, demands that the
State contribute a mite from her vast resource?,
for the improvement of this Indian Spring prop
erty, why should it longer be a mona > nt not
only of neglect, but evoii oi folly ?
The country trade to our little town u-s beguu
to brighten with the coming cotton, and the dull
ness succeeding the departure of the summer vis
itors, ! s fast wearing off. Th ; magnificent fall of
water over the sho.il on the river, is to be utilized
soon, by the erection of-a mill at the foot of them.
We understand that the Mclntosh House is to
change hands before the opening of next season.
