Jackson. The subject of this brief but deserving notice, the son of James W. and Maria Jackson, waß born in Greene county, Ga., April 17th, 1849. He was fortunate in being blessed with fond and affectionate parents, who fully appreciated the im portance of training up a child in the way he shonld go, who carefully guarded the formation of his habits, and the moulding of his character. Tiie success of their la bors was very clearly exemplified in his upright walk and gentlemanly deportment in after life. He was modest, retiring nnd unassuming, and yet a young man of sterl ing value and fine sensibilities. Mature had endowed him with an amiable disposi tion, that aided by his early training ren dered him pleasant, affable, and agreeable to all with whom he had intercourse. No one knew him intimately who did not ad mire him. His business qualifications, for a young man, were unsurpassed in the avo cation he pursued, llis father died Janu ary Bth, 187-3, leaving a widow, a daughter and an extensive farming interest with other business to be looked after ; this all devolved upon Luther, who, feeling the heavy responsibility of his situation, ap plied himself constantly and assiduously to the discharge of his various duties, and at the time of his death was suceeeding be yond the most sanguine expectation. His attention to the wants and wishes of his mother and sister was unremitting ; doing all in his power to render them comfortable and happy. A more obedient son and affectionate brother was not known to the writer. On the 10th of May last he was married to Miss E. A. Carlton, with whom , he was permitted to spend only a few fleet ing months of uninterrupted happiness; he was affectionate and kind to her; he gratified every wish in his power ; his love for her was ardent, and that love was fully reciprocated by his affectionate wife, who now, broken-hearted, laments his early deatli and mournsover her irieparahle loss. On the 28th of September last lie was taken sick, and notwithstanding the unremitting attention of the family day and night, and the medical services of three physicians, he continued to grow worse, until 1 o’clock Saturday morning last, when, without a struggle, his spirit took its |flight to Him who gave it. On Sunday morning at 10} o’clock his remains were borne to the fam ily grave yard, followed by weeping rela tives and n very large number of friends, and deposited in a grave by the side of his father, three brothers and sisters, to await the morn. The burial services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Lewis. Truly this bereavement is a sad affliction upon the wife and family, who doubtless have the sympathies of numerous friends. Let us bow in submission to the will of our Heavenly Father who doeth all things well “ T he Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Luther's Friend.

There is a meeting of considerable inter est in progress at the Methodist Church, conducted by the pastor, and Rev, T. F. Pierce. Some additions *to the church have alrea ly been made, and it is to be hoped that there will be others before the meeting closes. This is i lie Way the Money Goes. The railroad agent at Union Point has kindly furnished us with the following items, showing the amount of supplies re ceived at this depot from April. 1874, to April, 1875. Also the number of bales of cotton shipped during the same time. The supplies received are; 6,523 bushels of corn; 855 bushels of oats; 1,908 bushels of meal; 1,367 barrels of fiour ; 224,950 pounds of bacon ; 12,395 pounds of lard; 47 bales of hay, 285 tons of guano. The price paid for corn will average at least 51.50 per bushel, for the most of it, in fact nearly all, has been bought on time. Oats will average 51.00; meal, $1.50; flour, 510,00 per barrel ; bacon, 17c; lard, 17c; hay, 56.50 per hale, and guano, $62.00, including freight. Added to all this is large cash freight bills, some hundred and odd thousand dollars for other supplies not counted in the above, together with the hire of Poor, taxes, etc. The aggregate of all this in dollars anti cents, is fearful, and it is all for articles that should be made at home. Is it any wonder then, that the people are poor and hard pressed ? They are poor and hard pressed, and will get more so, unless they turn over anew leaf, and make these supplies at. home. We have to offset tills amount with 4,144 bales of colton, averaging about 450 pounds.

Dear Silt—At a meeting of the Trus tees for Union Point Academy, yesterday, July9th, at 2 p.m., each member of the Hoard gave expression of unqualified ap probation of your course, both as to man ner of teachinghiul general conduct. A better testimony of appreciation of your services will be found iu the fact of your unanimous re-election to serve the ensuing year. It is hoped it will be found to your inter est and pleasure to accept and that we re ceive notice of the same at your conven ience. Very respectfully, T. M. BUY AN, • Acting Secretary. Union Point, Ga.,Scpt. 30,1575. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Board of Trustees. Your favor of July 10th, informing me of my re-election to the charge of Union Point High School, for tue ensuing schol astic year, was duly received. I have de ferred any reply until now, for the reason that I have been debating the question of entering another field of labor. This, I trust, will be a sufficient apology for what has the semblance of neglect. I am now prepared to accept the posi tion, and to enter upon the duties of the new year w ith renewed zeal and energy. Allow me, gentlemen, to return to you my sincere thanks for the complimentary manner in which you express your appro bation of my services as teacher, “You have faithfully discharged your duty,” I esteem a greater honor than the plaudits of the world. You will remember that in my first letter, accepting the position tendered me by you iu December, 1G73,1 used these words : “In the discharge ol my duty as your teacher, I shall endeavor to be faith ful to the trust which you have seen fit to repose in me.” In the two years of my service in the capacity of teacher, you are able to judge how well 1 have kept that purpose. With your co-operation I have labored to place Union Point School in the front rank of the High Schools in our I County and State. I rejoice in the knowl edge of the fact that my labors in this di rection have not been in vain. I would acknowledge valuable assistance from Mrs. E. E. Wilson, my associate. In whatever success I have achieved, Mrs. Wilson merits an equal share. I would say for her that, in my judgment, she is eminently fitted, in botli mental and moral culture, to instruct the youth of our land. Again thanking you, gentlemen, for the distin guished honor your letter confers upon me, ami witli tho hope that our relations in the future may bo even more pleasant than they have been iu the past. I remain, Very truly yours, W. E. REYNOLDS. PENFIELD DEPARTMENT. " LOCAL DOTS BY NOVKS. Our Harket Our town is assuming considerable im portance as a cotton market.
