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 ami the two Fair Associations of our county to publish their Premi um Lists, or at least so much of said Lists as relates to field crop-, is in the spring, before the farmers pitch their crops.

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.” Luther M. Smith. Local and Business Notices.
