Death of tfenr. Bciming.
General Henry 1.. Bennlng died at
his home in Columbus, Gn., Satur
day morning last. He will be re
membered as a commander of a
brigade in the late war. The Second,
Seventeenth and Twentieth Georgia
Regiments were a part of his bri
gade. He was known among his
gallant comrades as “Old Rock,”
and he fought side by with “Tigc”
Anderson. lie was a brave soldier
and a good citizen and had he lived
would have stood a fair chance
for the nomination for Govcrnqj of
Georgia next year.
Not to be Sobl,
The Macon Telegraph says “the
commissioners of the Macon and
Brunswick road have resolved not to
sell it at present, but to run it in the
interest- of the .State the remainder
of the year, or until tire Legislature
-meets in January. Mr. John A.
Grant is superintendent of the road.”
Our Cotemporaries.
While in attendance at the recent
Tress Association, and on the cxcur
siorf up the Air Line Railroad, we
were pleased to meet and enjoy social
chats with many of our rural cotem
poraries. Among others, Col. Han
cock, of the Sumter Republican;
John Tripplett, of the Thomasville
Times; Mclntosh, of the Quitman
Reporter; J. B. Gorman, European
correspondent of the Macon Tele
graph ; Ed. Mumford, Talbotton
Standard; Col. Fleming, Blakely
News; S. R. Weston, Dawson Jour,
nal; Ed. Martin, Perry Journal; W.
T. Christopher, Fort Valley Mi>ror;
Col. Cabaniss, Monroe Advertiser;
John T. Waterman, LaG range Re
porter; Richard* W. Grubb, Darien
Gazette; John M. Brown, Camilla
Enterprise ; Will Wikle, Cedartown
Record; Mr. Freeman, Calhoun
Times ; 11. W. J. Ham, Warrenton
Clipper; E. R. Sharpe, Carrollton
Times; Col. T. M. Peeples, Law
rencevilfe Herald; Col. F. S. Fitch,
the State at large; Mr. Frank V
Evans, Albany News ; Mr. Marchalic
■of the Cartersvillc Standard and Ex
press, the old man of the stick and
rule, who was born fifty-eight years
ago on the bed of a Rammnge Press.
.Lastly, Bro. Kayton of the B. C. G.
Candidates for Governor.
The Augusta Constitutionalist in a
late issue stated that the Dispatch
nominated for Governor all the men
in this section who had corn to sell,
wA that if every farmer of this kind
were nominated the number would
be about six. Whereupon Judge
McDuffie, of Telfair, comes up with a
list. In a letter before us, he says:
“I think we will have to bring out
Mr. Alexander McEftcbin for Govern
or in this county. He has been
house-keeping over thirty years, and
lias not bought a bushel of mm or a
-pound of bacon during the time, but
always lias plenty to sell. This year
his fflffm Is producing better than
ever before. J. A. Clemens, A. Mc-
Eachin, A. N. McMillan and John
McKay are our model farmers. So
you see out of the four we s ill have
cue candidate.”
Another Wonder in the Animal
World.
We are now going to relate some
thing that to many will appear in
crcdib'e. Our past experience in big
stories has made us cautious to here
after have witnesses ready to cor
roborate our statements. The fact
two arc about to mention is that on
the plantation of Judge Henry, in
this county, is a heifer only eighteen
months old which gives a half gallon
of milk twice a day, and has never
had ft calf. Mr. Wm. Masson gale,
the poat waiter at Eureka, is our
swtlwrfey We states that Hr. Mob
ley, of Dooly, first .called hU atten
tion to it, and that Messrs, John
Hooks, William and Madison Ether
idge will bear witness to the (act.
It is the most remarkable occurrence
we have ever known, and we should
not believe it but lor the fact that
several gentlemen are satisfied that
there is no hoax about it, This
ycar-and-a-half old “yearling,” or
heifer, has been giving njilk for
some time, and up to a few days
ago suckled its mother, and probably
yet does.
The only reason that can be as
signed for this strange fact, is that
the children of Mr. Hooks have
pulled and played with the calf's
teats from the time it was very
young. On our return from Atlanta
a few days ago, we mentioned the
subject to a gentleman on the cars,
and were by him informed that he
bad recently seen in one of the At
lanta papers an account of a heifer
that began giving milk at the same
Age—eighteen mouths—and is still
yielding the lacteal fluid. She is
now some seven years old, and has
pever given birth to a calf.
Wo have not made the above state
ments from imagination, but from
good authority, and we desire to
know something more about it.
The" State Lunatic Asylum is said
to be full. Atlanta sent four lunatics
to Milledgcville only to be refused
admission.
Georgia Press Convention.
URRAI.tr BANQUET —PONCE DE I.KON
&PIWNGS -*- ATLANTA CONSTITUTION
EXCURSION—VISIT TOTUCC'OA FALLS
—TALLULAH FALLS.
We have been to the Georgia
Press Association, which met in At
lanta last week. Business light and
a most harmonious session. Patent
outsides and insides no longer ostra
cised, but permitted to become mem
bers and participate in the pleasures
of the annual meetings. Mr. J. 11.
Estill, of the Savannah News, was re
elected President, Col. E. Y. Clarke,
of the Constitution, first vicc-Presi
dent, and Mr. J. B. Gorman, of the
Talbotton Standard, second vice-
President. About fifty members of
the press were in atteudance.
After the morning session the
Press Association was invited to the
Daily Herald office, where the clever
proprietors, Messrs. Alston <fe Grady,
had prepared an excellent lunch, in
cluding champagne, lemonades, etc.
Henry Grady, in his classic and face
tious style, enlivened the meeting
with a few appropriate remarks.
The afternoon session closed with
much humor and good feeling mani
fested on all sides, and the Associa
tion took the street cars for an ex
cursion to the famous Ponce de
Leon Springs. For this delightful
trip we are also indebted to the Daily
Herald.
Thursday morning the Association
assembled in full force, ready for the
excursion over the Air Line Rail
road. Two fine cars had been char
tered by the Atlanta Constitution
especially for the occasion, and to
the proprietors, Messrs. Hemphill,
Clark & Finch, are we indebted for
the most pleasant excursion we ever
made. It seemed as if an ora of
good feeling had been inaugurated,
and that if bickerings or prejudice
had ever existed between the Pres3
of Georgia, all lay timed in a com
mon grave, and each was ready to
grasp his brother’s hand in fraternal
friendship. For our part, we felt
that if we ever entertained ill-feeling
against a brpther editor, it was no
longer the case, and that we were
willing to “forgive and forget.”
At New Holland Springs—noted
for their excellent mineral waters—
we were invited by Col. Nieholls to
partake of a lunch gotten up with
splendid taste. Three cheers for
Col. Nieholls, and our train sped on
through the hills.
Arriving at Belton, we dined at
“Cousin John” Thrasher's eating
house. His proverbial courtesy to
the Press forced him to return the
money paid for our dinner. What a
glorious blessing it would be if there
were a thousand John Thrashers ip
the State.
TUCCOA CITY.
We reached Tuccoa late in the af
ternoon. It is a pretty little city
nestled in the mountains of Haber
sham county, and but a few miles
from the boundary lines of North
and South Carolina. The citizens of
Tuccoa evinced their appreciation of
a visit from the newspaper men cf
Georgia by providing them with
homes during their stay in the city.
TUCCOA FALLS.
Hacks were provided anil an cx
eursiou made to Tuccoa Falls, about
three miles from the city. Our pen
cannot describe the beauty and
grandeur of these falls. The waters
of the little creek are seen pouring
over an abrupt precipice of one hun
dred and eight3 r -seven feet, a height
of thirty-one feet greater than Niag
ara Falls, and surpassed by the fa
mous Niagara only in the volume of
water. We gazed upon Tuecoa
Fails with wonder, the sublime spec
tacle presenting the great power and
beauty of one of the grandest works
of Nature. The waters dash madly
over the immense fall, and make a
beautiful spray as they fall below.
Tuccoa Falls must be seen to be ap
preciated.
TA.LMJI.AH fall*.
Friday we visited Tallulah Falla,
sixteen miles from Tuccon. We
made the trip in hacks and buggies.
Our route was over high mountains
and along by the sides of deep, dan
gerous gorges. The party numbered
on this excursion about' forty-five
members of the I'ress Association,
including President Estill and lady,
Col. Hancock and lady of Amcricus,
and Mr. Jas. P. Harrison and lady,
of Atlanta, The pure, bracing at
mosphere of the mountains had giv
en an extraordinary keenness to the
apj>etitcs of the party, and the knowl
edge that a good breakfast was
awaiting us, intensified the feeling
until it amounted to excruciating
hunger. Our clever and thoughtful
host, at Tuecoa, Mr. Payne, had an
ticipated our troubles by pioviding
his four guests with a good cup of
coffee, ham, butter and biscuit, and
wo “felt our keeping” much better
than some of the rest.
About nine o’clock we arrived at
Tallulah Falls and made ourselves at
home at the hotel of Mr. W. D.
Young.- The apparently half-fam
i-lied editors besiogod the dining
room, and - almost forced an entrance.
In a few moments, however, the
doors were thrown open aud there
was a rush for the table. Everybody
ate a hearty breakfast, which was
most elega .Uy prepared and super
vised by our aocoinplished hostess,
Mrs. Young.
Boon the party were sen strag
gling through the woods to view oue
of the most magnificent scenes on the
American Continent—Tallulah Falls.
Nothing we have ever beheld—not
even Tuccoa Falls—can compare
witli the awfully grand and majestic
picture that here comes in viw.
Scrambling down the rugged cliffs
and craggcd rocks for two hundred
feet, wc lay our weary body down
and behold Lodorc Falls, and see the
waters dash, and foam and whirl.
Ascending to the heavens above ns is
what is known as Dianna’s Rest,
towering near three hundred feet
above Hawthorn’s Pool, with which
there is a legend.
Resting here awhile, we attempt to
make our way further up by grasp
ing the overhanging crags and draw
ing ourself cautiously along: One
false step would precipitate us into
the roaring waters and dash us to
pieces. We contemplate the danger
and retrace our steps, and would not
again make such a needless risk of
our life which, though it may be of
little service to others, is worth some
thing to the owner.
Clambering • back to the summit
wc feel too light in our “upper story”
to venture as far as others. We
stood at a safe distance and beheld
Temposta Falls, where the waters
fall a depth of one hundred and thir
teen leet.
Wc went higher up and gazed up
on Hurricane Falls, and listened to
the fearful roar of the mad waters.
Further on we came to a great peak
and at our feet lay a large, curiously
shaped stone, known as the Devil's
pulpit, three hundred and fifty feet
above the waters. On the opposite
side, across the great chasm, may be
seen Vulcan’s Forge, 410 feet from
the water, and resembling in many
particulars a perfect forge. Near by
is Caladonia Cascade, a little stream
plashing and trickling down the
craggy slope for 350 feet. Near by
us is Lover’s Leap, 410 feet, and as
safe a place from which one might
wish to leap into eternity as could be
found. One step beyond, and soul
and body would forever be dissolved.
Some distauce below may be seen
the two grandest points of interest
connected with the Falls. One is
the Grand Chasm 800 foe.t from sum
mit to water, and the other a beauti
ful little stream, known as Ribbon
Cascade, whose waters gingle over
the rocks for over seven hundred
feet.
Finally, we look aroimd and about
us, and see in this, the handiwork of
the Creator, one of the most sublime
pieces of work ever modeled by im
mortal power.
We return to the hotel, partake of
an excellent dinner, listen to a few
speeches from enthusiastic brethren
of the press, pass resolutions of
thanks to our wbolesouled host, Mr.
Young, bound into our hack, and
bie away toward Tuccoa City. Our
companions on the trip were Messrs.
Brown, of the Camilla Enterprise,
Boyd, of the Jefferson Times and
Planter, Mumford, of the Talbotton
Standard, and Grubb, of the Darien
Gazette, all jolly, pleasant fellows.
May they live long and prosper.
.We returned to the domicil of Mr.
J. W. Payne, where Wc found a nice
supper, good lodgings, mid a cordial
welcome.
Saturday morning we embark ed on
the train from Charlotte, N. C., and
came sweeping down the Air Line
Road toward Atlanta. At Norcross
wc were tendered by the proprietor
of the hotel, NS r. Trammell, with a
breakfast fit for better men than an
A ssoeiation of sight-seeing editors.
And here, too, was great honor
shown to the editorial body. The
daughters of Mr. Trammell, 3’oung
ladies beautiful and refined, conde
scended to fill the places of waiters
and thus manifest their high esteem
for the Association.
And now, gentle readers, wc have
related to you some of the incidents
and pleasures of one of the moat do
lightful occasions of our life. We
have enjoyed a week of recreation in
the mountains of North Georgia,
witnessing grand and beautiful scene
ry and receiving unbounded hospi
tal^’.
For much of this pleasure arc we
under obligations to one of the prom
inent daily papers of the State—the
Atlanta Constitution. Its proprie
tors, Messrs. Hemphill, Clarke &
Finch, gave the excursion in honor
of the eight anniversary of their pa
per. Col. Clarke accompanied the
excursion throughout, and never
wearied in his efforts to render every
one happy. His urbanit3’ and gen
crosit3’ will never be forgotten, and
may he live to celebrate maii3- more
anniversaries of the Constitution.
Governor Smith and Attorne3’
General Hammond left Atlanta last
Wednesda3 - for New York, to be ab
sent eight or ten days.
General Frank P. Blair, who ran
for Vice-President on the ticket with
Seymour in 18C3, died in St. Louis
last Thursday night.
Captain A. St. Clair Abrams, late
of the Atlanta Daily News, lias gone
to Florida.
The Albany News says that Capt.
T. H. Willingham has 2,000 acres in
corn, 2,000 in cotton, and 1,100 in
oats. His oats are harvested, and
he will probably have 8,000 bushels
for sale.
Inquiry After a ltice Mill.
Editor Hawlcinsvitle Dispatch :
I saw in the Dispatch recently an
article relative to anew rice mill in
vented by some gentleman in Savan
nah. You stated that you would
give full particulars in a short while,
stating the price, manner of con
struction, etc. I have charge of a
water grist mill, and desipe to get
one of tl’ose rice mills for the pur
pose of putting it up and running it
by water. I will be under many
obligations to you for the particulars
or the man's name, so that I may
confer with him in regard to his
mill.
Wishing you success with your
Dispatch, I remain
Yours Respectfully,
W. S. Redding.
Drayton, Ga., June 26, 1875.
In reply to Hr. Redding we would
state that we have not, as yet, ascer
tained any-furthe*- particulars of the
new rice mill previously spoken of.
We think, however, that M. Y. Hen
derson, of Savannah, is the gentle
man who has tlic mill for sale. We
.shall write him for information.
Watson to, the front.
It is a mistaken opinion that Asa
R. Watson, of the Macon Telegraph,
can’t tell a “fish story” as well as
write good poetry. He saya that
seventeen 1 years ago A. B. Stripling,
of Jones county, put in his well a
small cat fish, which is still alive,
hearty, and active, and has grown
but very little. . The fish i9 taken
out and kept in water whenever the
well is being cleaned, and afterward
returned to the well. It is given one
good square meal annually. Won
der if Watson isn’t cultivating a dis
position to go into the snake busi
ness ?
Capt. J. McPherson Berrien died
in Savannah Thursday morning last.
He went to the war with the Ogle
thorpe Light Infantry, but was sub
sequently transferred to the regular
army, with rank of Captain, and was
appointed to a position on the staff
of Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb. He
was with Gen. Cobb at the battle of
Fredericksburg in 1804, when that
gall int Georgian was killed, and was
desperately wounded himself, recov
ering only to find himself a cripple
for life.
Encouraging Prospects in Ten
nessee amt Alabama.
Nashville, July 2.—The commit
tee on information and statistics of
the Nashville Cotton Exchange sub
mitted the following report for June
this morning: In response to in
quiries sent'out'•■under date of 24th
June, from the cheerful tone of the
answers, and with no unforeseen dis
aster, we think the county may look
forward to the largest crops of all
kinds produced since the war. La
bor is reported as much improved.
Crops are better worked and cleaner,
and Ihe grounds are in a belter
shape of cultivation than for years.
In portions of Alabama complaints
arc made of want of rain ; while in
Tennessee, near this city, some com
plain ol' too ranch; but from other
sections reports aits very favorable
and highly satisfactory. Since our
report was written seasonable rains
have fallen.
The Atlanta papers, of Friday,
publish this card:
Atlanta, Ga., July 8, 1815.
At a meeting of the Georgia Press
Association, held in this city on the
7th instant, the following resolution
was adopted :
“Resolved, That this Association
entertaining sentiments of high re
gard for our brethren, Colonels
Alston and Clarke, and with a sin
cere desire to restore amity and con
cord between these brethren, a com
mittee of six be appointed to offer
their triendly offices in effecting a
settlements,,if possible.” ..
As members of the Association, it
is gratifying to.announce that in ac
cordance with the foregoing resolu
tions, we, the undersigned committee
appointed by, President Estill, have
called on Messrs. Clarke and Alston,
and that they have mutually pledged
themselves to drop the whole mat
ter.

THE NATIONAL GRANGERS.
Washington, July 9 —The Execu
tive Committee of the Grangers have
agreed to remove tlieir headquarters
to Louisville by a vote of three to
two. Thc3* have also resolved to
hold the next National Grange at
Louisville on the third Wednesday

The sale of the Quitman Factor
by tlie sheriff took place in Quitman

cleared $52,000 last year, still it
could not, is a time of financial

BOW IN VICKSBURG.
Vicksburg, July (!. — A row occur
red here at a negro Fourth of J illy
celebration. Several were wounded
—three, unknown, fatally. All col
ored Jolumllill, white, was mortal
ly wounded.
Vicksburg, July C.—There was a
disturbance at a negro meeting in
the Court-house yesterday, which
grew out of a difficulty between two
white men, one of whom was danger
ously wounded. A pistol was then
drawn by Ben Allen, a colored poli
tician. He was knocked down by
the whites and seriously beaten.
Soon after this a fight took place be
tween a negro and a white mail, in
which the negto’s skull was broken.
A shot was then fired into the crowd
by a negro riding past in a hack,
which was returned by the whites.
During the melee two negroes were
killed and one seriously wounded.
Everything is quiet to-day. No fur
ther troubles arc apprehended.
MURDER.
Memphis, July C.—Robert N. Yer
by was shot and killed on a steamer
near St. Louis. The murderers or
dered the captain to stop the boat,
which was done, when they took to
the woods. It was an old Arkansas
grudge.
MORE CATTLE STEALING.
Galveston, July 7 The Collect
or of Customs has information that
nineteen Mexicans have crossed the
line and driven four hundred cattle
into Mexico, nine miles below Rio
Grande City.
Homicide in Twiggs County.
An unfortunate homicide occurred
at Myrick’s Mill, in Twiggs county,
Saturday afternoon, July 3d, under
the following ciroumstances : A par
ty of ladies and gentlemen were
assembled there for a fishing frolic.
Toward evening some of the young
men suffered themselves to get under
the influence of liquor. Seeing a ne
gro man, whose name we did not
learn, coming across the dam, they
determined to have some fun at his
expense, and finally their fun assumed
a Serious aspect, as one of the men—
Dave Hudson—approached him be
hind, and gave him three or four se
vere cuts in the back with a knife.
The negro then turned, with a knife
in his hand, and made a cut at his
assailant, striking him in the neck
and severing an artery, which pro
duced death in about five minutes.
We understand the negro lias been
committed to jail, though it was the
general impression that he had acted
in self-delense. —Macon Telegraph.
We only have to say that, in our
opinion, the negro did only what any
other man would have done.
Minnesota Democratic Nomina
tion.
St. Paul, July B. —The Democratic
State Convention platform declares
tlyat tiie constitutional amendments
must be accepted in good faith by all
parties ; that the national government
is limited to delegated powers, and
the great bulk of the rights of the
people must find their safeguards in
the States and people themselves.
It demands a return to gold and sil
ver as the basis oi the currency of
the oountiy, and issists on prepara
tive and effectual measures to secure

It demands a tariff for revenue onl3’,
with honest administration and non
protection, and denounces sumtuary
laws. The nominations are: For
Governor, D. L. Buell; for Lieuten
ant Governor, K. W. Barnard.
A Bale of Old Cotton.
Mr. C. C. Smith, of Wilkinson
county, has a bale of cotton made
during tlie war, for which he was
offered in May, 1865, 44 cents per
pound, but thinking it less than its
value refused to sell. Cotton took
a downward turn about that time,
and has been falling ever since and
lie has held this cotton expecting at
some time to get at least his first
offer for it. Let us sec what lie lias
lost by holding it until now. 500
pounds of cotton at 44 cents would
nett $220. Interest on this amount
for ten years at 7 per cent, would
make the sum of $154. Add this to
the $220 and lie would have $374.
The present price of low middling
cotton in this market is 14 cents, and
500 pounds of cotton would bring
S7O. Deduct this amount from $374
and it would make bis loss on one
bale of cotton $304. This is
the strongest argument we ever heard
advanced against farmers holding on
for a better price. —lrwinton South

BOOK AOISNTB wanted to sell “The
People’s Common Sense Medical Advi
ser." It is the cheapest book ever pub.
lished ; 885 pages, over 2.50 illustrations,
$1 50. Thousands buy it at sight who
could not be induced to purchase the
high-priced'books treating of Domestic
Medicine. Unlike other books sold
through agents this work is thoroughly
advertised throughout North America.
This fact, together with the large size,
elegant appearance, a'nd many hew fea
tures of the hook, causes it to sell more
rapidly than anv work ever published in
this country. Those of my agents who
have had experience in selling hooks, say
that in all their previous canvassing they
never met with such success or made so
large wages, as since commencing the
sale of my work. For terms and territo
ry, address (inclosing two postage stamps
and stating experience) R. V. Pierce, M.
