Mr. Editor:
You will please excuse one
so unaccustomed to writing for
ibe public eye, as 1 am ; but be
lieving that many of your readers
would like to hear from this part
cusp for attempting this p-oimnu
this section of country—have but
few who dE%if4|belopg to the ag
ricultural'dejiaflinent.fcOrops are
generally very promising—the
recent rains have improved them
much.
We have at Excelsior a flour
ishing school, under the charge of
a competent, teacher. Oug school
bids fair to be second to none in
the wire-grass region. The pat
ronage is good, as scholars are al
ways coming in (rom adjoining
counties, and the trustees are us
ing every means jn tbeir power
tt> prepare ample facilities lor the
accommodation of all who may
desire 16" attend.
(hi the 4th iiist. we had a little
Centennial celebration in the in
terest of our SUbboth school. The
crowd was large and attentive,
We were sorry that the orators,
Messrs. Potter and Lane, who
were selected for the occasion
were provide* tially hindered from
being present. The exercises were
conducted in a manner which gave
entire satisfaction to atl present.
After the singing of the sweet
hvmn “Come to the Savior,” by
the Sabbath school. Elder W. L.
Geiger oll'errd up a short and
f'aithiu! prayer, alter which the
.school sang the hvmn “Hold the
Fprt,” which was followed by the
reading of the Declaration of In
dependence, by Janies W. Geiger,
a member of the Sabbath school.
The school I hen sang “The Cen-
Day,” a song previously
prepared for file occasion, after
wbijdiJohnC. Geiger delivered
an address on “The pastGentury,”

add ess on “Civil Freedom.'’ Sev

we# called on for speeclies, hut
reluming, Rev. Mr. Geiger was in
aratejl. to address them, which he
did In his usual earnest and im
presAive style.
Tti' specking all over, Rev. Mr.

fur the pccasion, and
.yie .|nbbath school sang it to the
of the audience.
, after dismission the long

Reidsville (/a.
July 10; h 1876.
Pursuant to call of Chairman
Executive Committee, a meetin"
of the citizens of Tattnall County
was held this day at Reidsvilte for
the purpose of appointing dele
gates to the Gubernatorial Con
vention to be held in Atlanta on
the 2nd of-August.
The, meeting being called to or
der, on motion, Hon, Samuel
Brewton was called to the chair,
and W. J. IMey Eaqr. reqnested
to net. as Secretary.
On mol ion of Isaiah Beasley a
committee ofjive wete : appointed
by the chairman to nominate del
egates to represent Tattnall in
said convention, whereupon the
chairman appointed S lsaiah Beas
ley W. W. Rogers, Jas. 11. Smith,
O. W. Smith, ami W.L. Alexander.
T tie committee retired and after n
brie-f absence returned and re
ported the names of 8. P. Smith
and Dr. J. Tootle to be voted for
by the meetihg as delegates to the
convention. A vote of Ihe meeting
was then taken, and the candi
dates declared unanimously elect
ed, wi ll the privilege of appoint
ing their own alternates.
W. J. Haley then informed the
meeting that he had some resolu
tions which he desired to offer in
regard to the election of State
Senators, upon which he read the
folio wing, which were unanimous
ly adopted.
Whereas, in the opipion of tills
meeting much of the good feeling
and harmony heretofore existing
between the counties composing
the second Senatorial Dist., in the
State Senate, is owing to our
faithful observance of the rule
known as the rotation rule. And
whereas we believe that a viola
tion of this rule, in the approach
ing election by either of the coun
ties of said district, contrary to
the wishes of ethers, would pro
duce serious discord between the
counties, which might result in
our defeat, as ff party in said
election, and cause' the District
to pass again into the hands and
under the dominion of the Radical
party, a state of things greatly to
be deplored, and which we be
lieve all good men should earnest
ly labor to prevent.
Resolve Ist. That we the vot
ers of Tattnall County are in fa
vor of condoning the rule known
as the Rotation Rule heretofore
observed by the counties com
posing the Second Senatorial Dis
trict in nomi ating their candi
dates for Sen a lor.
Resolve 2nd.’ That any attempt
on the part of either of the coun
ties of said District to violate ro
tation rule, will be sternly oppos
ed by us (without the concurrence
of all the counties) as tending to
disorganize our party and destroy
the confluence and good feeling
axis ting between said
counlies.
Resolve 3rd. . That we recom
mend a convention of delegates
representing the three Couhties
composing the 2nd Senatorial
District, Lodi eld at, Hinesville on
the first Monday ih September,
next, for the purpose of nominat
ing a candidate lor Senator.
Resolve 4th. That a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the
Hinesville Gazette: and the Dari
en Timber Gazette for publica
tion.
On motion of I. Beasley, it was
agreed Giat the Secretary give
notice in the official Organ of the
County, that a meeting of the cit
izens will, be held at Reidsville on
the first Monday in August to ap
point delegates to the Senatorial
Oonvenlipn. „ Also, to adopt a
plan for nominating a candidate
lo represent us in the next Legis
la ure. Upon motion, it was
then agreed that the entire pro
ceedings of the meeting be pub
lished in the Hinesville Gazette.
The meetin" then adjourned.

, A few days past Mr. E. J. Pear
son of this county, had his atten
tention drawn by a chicken mik
ing a strange noise in front of his
door. The chicken soon started
i award the house and fell dead
on the way. Mr. P. oil going to
the place the chicken started from
found a moccasin which he dis
patched instantly. Shortly after
wards, his wife was bitten near
the same place by the same kind
of a snake. A poultice oftobac
co and alum was applied to the
wound, and whiskey and alum
taken often in small quantities,
soon relieved her of any suffering,
A dispute arose between two
colored men at No. 6, M, R.R.

in one shooting out the brains of
