Upon inquiry, we learn tli t the
farmers of our county are having
much less corn than at any corres
ponding time for some years past
W« hail this fact as indicative of
the abandonment by our farmers of
the suicidal policy heretofore pur
sued of planting all cotton, and de
pending on the West for the “staff
of life.” If we would prosper we
must lire more at home.
fTtir Proper Time.
It seems to us that the proper
time for the Agricultural Society

said Lists as relates to field crop-,
is in the spring, before the farmers
pitch their crops. The reasons are
apparent

Obituary.
Mr*. Caroline M. King, wife of Dt.
11. FI. King, daughter of Thomas
Greenwood and Ann Leonora Gieett
wood, and step-daughter of [lev . Bishop
Janes O. Andrew, died in Greenes-
Ga., December I (Ult, 1874, in the filty
second year of her age.
The limits of a brief obituary are too
narrow for the portrayal of the mauy vir
tues that adorned tiie character aud were
exemplified in the life of my deceased sis
ter-in-law. Carefully and religiously
trained, 3lie exhibited from childhood those
graces of heart and disposition that devel
oped and matured a womanhood of rareex
celleu e and beauty. Her marriage to Dr.
King was solemnized by Bishop Andrew,
who, feeling a deep interest in the fortunes
of the young couple, preached in Oxford,
on the following Sabbath, a sermon replete
with sound instruction and wise counsel,
on the duties and obligations of married
life. The occasion and the sermon made S
deep impression upon the audience, and
especially the writer, then a recent matri
culate of Emory College, The event was
signalized as the date of my first acquaint
ance with the Bishop and his family. The
admiration awakened by the rare personal
attraction of the young br de was, after my
marriage to her sister, enhanced and in
tensified upon beholding the divine beauty
of her uniformly exemplary deportment,
her unvarying kindness to others, and un
selfish devotion to the comfor’ and happi
ness of the loved ones of the family circle.
She was distinguished for the constancy,
as well as the depth of her affections.
Fickleness, the reproach so often and un
justly cast upon her sex. was no part of
her nature. Her convictions of duty were
clear, strong, and abiding; and endowed
witji great energy of will, she followed
them unhesitatingly and unswervingly.
Hence it was, that as daughter, sister, wite,
mother, friend, neighbor, in every rela
tionship of life, her light shone with no
duhious beam or tiackering ray, but with
clear and steady splendor, the unshadowed
radiance of a spirit fixed in its purposes
and unfaltering iu its devotion to truth and
duty. As time enlarged the circle of her
usefulness and brougtit increasing cares,
responsibilities, and trials, th resources of
her nature were more fully developed, and
the graces of courage, fortitude, and pati
enre, were strikingly exemplified in char
ac -r and conduct. Called, in the provi
lence of C >d, repeatedly to endure “the
chastening of the Lord,” she came forth
like pore gold from the refining fire Her
lith never watered urder th > severe
test; and never for a moment did she even
seem to question the wisdom or goodner-sof
the divine dispensation. In her lost ill
ness, which was protracted and painful al
most to agony, she testified to her faithful
pastor, Rev. Albert Gray, the completeness
ot her resignation to the will of God, and
when u, prospect of death, reminded that
He who had been with her in six troubles
would not forsake her in the seventh, she
exclaimed with uffectiug emphasis,
“ Blessed be His holy name.’* She had
been abundant in prayer for entire submis
sion and for specific objects, dear to her
heart. Her requests were granted and her
last connected utterance was an expression
of thankfulness, that the will of God “ had
been fulfilled in answer to her prayers.” A
few hours afterwards she felt asleep as
calmly and gently "as flowers close their
petals at set of sun,” or “ ns dies a wave
along the shore.” A peaceful, happy
home is left desolate and dark. A smitten
husband, five sorrowing children, a discon
solate brother, afflicted relatives,a bereaved
community, bewail their loss. Another en
franchised spirit has joined the loved ones
gone before, and awaits us on the other
shore. How glorious the company, blood
washed and pure—“ the just made per
fect !” How beautiful the clime, undim
med by sorrow and untainted by sin!
Another voice hallowed hv the ministries
of a life of devoted affection, speaks to us
from amid the jubilant strains of tlio re
deemed, and the seven-fold chorus of halle
lujahs around the throne of God and the
Lamb: "O death, where is thy sting?
(1 grave, where is thy victory ? Thanks he
to God, which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.”
