ONE BY ONE,
BY ADELAIDE A. PROCTOR.
One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the mountains fall;
Some are coming, some are going;
Do not stop to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee,
Learn those first what, these can teach.
One by one, (bright gifts from Heaven,)
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, to let them go. j
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed' band;
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life’s long sorrow,
See how smqll each moment’s pain;
God will help thee for to-morrow,
So each day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly,
Has its task to do or bear;
Luminous the crowD mid holy,
When each gem is set with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond;
Nor, the daily toil forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, God’s token,
Reaching heaven; but one by one
Take them, lest the chain be brokeu,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

PEN ANl> INK SKETCHES.
Hamilton fiarmany.
Captain Oarmany was born in
Newberry district, South Carolina,
about the year 1798, and came to
this county in 1823.
He was a Presbyterian, and
strict in the faith and practice of
that church.
He helped with his own hands
Lu TjulM iho lliuillij uout
the present one now stands at
Fairview, in 1823 or ’24.
The male members —Mr. Gar
many amongst them —and other
friends, met to commence the work.
The first day tiiey did not complete
it, although it was to be a cheap,
unpretending split-log house. At
the close of the day’s work, Billy
Montgomery, who was the prime
mover in the matter, said, “We
must come back another day—
naming the day—-and finish it.”
All agreed but Mr. Garmany, who
said, “Charity begins at home ! I
am building myself a house to live
in and I cannot come on that day.”
Ue lived in that house—which was
on the head-waters of the Yellow
River—until a year or two after
the organization of the “Gwinnett
Manuel Labor School,” when they
gave him the position in that in
stitution of “Farmer” —to oversee
the boys of the school in their farm
work—succeeding Moses Liddell,
who held the position first.
I would say—from my knowl
edge of the two men —that the
Captain was, in some respects,
better qualified for the position
than Mr. Liddell. Not that he
was a better farmer —I think he
was not —nor that he had better
judgment; but he was not so
blunt, nor so strict in discipline.
The boys and young men then
composing the school, were the
sons and wards of the wealthier
classes, from different parts of the
State, who had never worked, and
did not comprehend the “dignity 7
of labor,” and were averse to it.
Mr. Liddelliwas for bending them to
it. Mr. Garmany was more per
suasive and lenient.
V I have often thought the trus
ter; were singularly unfortunate irt
their selection of a farm for boys
to work on who were wholly un
used to farm work, or any other
While the soil was good, it was
the rockiest farm in the State, and
would have discouraged a man of
the moat energetic will, who had
been used to plowing and hoiug
all his life.
I have no doubt its roughness,
and the difficulties in tending it,
gave to many of the boys an aver
sion to farm work they never got
over.
Labor in the sun and on the farm
then—by the sons of the wealthier
class—was by them considered
menial and degrading, and should
be performed by the “poor white
people and the negroes.”
Hence the failure of Manuel
Labor Schools, and hence the
crowding of the professions, to the
disgrace often of those professions, I
and to the degradation of many
lawyers , doctors, merchants and min
inters.
Labor is a noble employment —
labor on the farm —turning up the

soil—cleared of the heather —to
the rays of the sun and showers
and dews of heaven—planting the
seeds of the harvest to supply the
trade of commerce and to supply
the wants of man and beast—
nursing them into life, Tigor and
maturity, that we may sing “Har
vest Home” in summer and autumn.
This is in accordance with the be
hests of the Creator—is the grand
est, noblest calling of all! But I
digress.
After the Captain severed his
connection with the school, he
purchased the John Turner plan
tation— where Mr. George Craig
now lives—and lived upon it a
few years. During his residence
there, the war with the Creek In
dians broke out near Columbus,
and two companies of volunteers
were raised in this county—one
of mounted men, commanded by
Captain Garmany, the. other of in
fantry, commanded by Captain
Reed.
In the early summer of 1836
they took up the line of march for
Columbus,, near the seat ol war;
and not long after their arrival at
their place of rendezvous, they
engaged in the fight with the In
dians at “Shepard’s Plantation” in
Steward county.
It was a terrible figlit for raw
soldiers to encounter, but they
maintained it well and covered
themselves with honor.
Ample testimony at the time was
borne to the courage and bravery
of Captain Garmany and his men.
Seven of his men were killed and
four wounded. Of tire killed were
Ensign Isaac Lacy, Orderly Seg’t
James C. Martin, J. H. Holland,
Robert T. Holland, J. M. Allen,
Wm. M, Simms, J. A. V. Tate and
W. Peden.
The wounded were Captain Gar

Soon the war closed and our
volunteers returned home. Stop
ping at Newnan on their Yeturn,
they were invited by the citizens
to pat take of a collation, and their
visit and the occasion was thus
noticed by the Newnan Palladium,
a newspaper of that town :
“Early on the morning of the
2<ilh ult. our citizens were apprised
of the approach of a company of
our chivalrous up-country volun
teers. We at once thought it to
be our own ; but when they ap
peared who should it be but the
gallant Captain Garmany with a
part of his command. They were
received with enthusiasm by out
citizens, and were compelled by
urgent solicitations to partake of
a breakfast with us; after which
the ladies and gentlemen of (he
town, and its viciuity, repaired to
the court-house to welcome this
heroic band. Col. W. D. Spear
was called to the chair, and after
making a few pertinent remarks,
suitable to the occasion, the fol
lowing song was (after proper in
tervals) sung thrice with weeping
eyes and great applause :
CAPT. GARMANY’S FIGHT.
[Tune —Scott’s wa, ha, etc.]
‘See the Chattahoochee flow,
By Roanoke descending low ;
There our soldiers met the foe,
Fierce as panthers prowling.
God! was not Thy presence nigh,
When to Thee with trusting eye,
Looked our soldiers when tne cry
Burst like wild wolves howling.
Hear our Captain’s cheerful tone—
‘Courage soldiers! Soldiers on!
Let no craven fear be shown,
Here no aid can find us! .
'Who a borne or lov’d one hath —
Fight like whirlwinds in their wrath;
Fight, there lies do middle path—
Wreath or shade must bind U 3.
‘Should we fall, we leave a name,
Ages will be proud to claim;
Death upon the soldiers fame,
Stamps the seal of glory!’
Garmany, such thy counsels bold,
Now in song thy names enrolled,
And thy gallant deeds are told,
While thousands strong applauding.
The Captain then made a speech
—the parting hand was taken —j
the good-bye was said—the bugle
Bounded to the march, and the
soldiers departed for their homes
and the smiles of their loved ones :
‘To greet them at tbeir coming,
Aud grow brighter when they come.’ ”
But the gallant Captain, and
nearly all his brave command,
have gone to join their killed com
rades in the land of spirits.
Although the event refered to
was comparatively of recent oc-
“COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!”
currence, nearly all engaged in it
are dead : Absalom and Bird Mar
tin, Doney, Chambers, Thomas,
Hunt, the Captain, and others—
more than half are dead !
Oh, death, thou insatiate mon
ster ! Never will your cormorute
appetite be stayed until the last
man, woman and child of Adam’s
fallen race become victims to thy
fearful rapacity !
Captain Garmanv, after his re
turn, was greeted with universal
applause by his fellow-citizens
and was regarded with a fervor
amounting to veneration.
At the first election, afterwards,
he was a candidate for the Senate,
and was elected almost by accla
mation. At the next election he
was again a candidate and was
defeated ; for in the mean time he
had become a “Gallon Law man,”
and a large number of our people
was so sensititive on this question
that they would have preferred to
vote for Beelzebub if “he was
sound,” than for the Apostle Fau!
if he was “a gallon man.”
We were very tenacious of “lib
erty” then ; where is our “liberty”
now ! I will let those men an
swer who lately were arrested
without warrants or accusation
imprisoned for several days in the
jail in Atlanta, soon to be dragged
up again before the United States
District Court for trying to enjoy
a “little liberty” for the “stomach
sake-”
The Captain was Assistant
Keeper of the penitentiary the last
term ol Gov. Crawford’s adminis
tration, and moved to" Milledge
ville, and served one year as Prin
cipal Keeper under Gov. Towns.
Soon after he returned to Gwin
nett, he engaged energetically in
the construction as stock-holder
and director in the Lawrenceville
factory'. After the failure of this
finta-r-;-- 1 1J out and moved
to Walker county.
He was one day at his new home
hunting birds and had discharged
one of the barrels of his gun, and
in re loading it the other went off,
discharging its contents into his
side, from which he died in twenty
foui hours, in 1856.
Captain G. and the writer were
neighbors for some time, and from
a good deal of personal intercourse
afterwards, I have no scruples in
saying he was a good neighbor,
good citizen, public spirited, kind
in his domestic relations, benevo
lent, kind-hearted, aud a Christian
gentleman. W.

Cardj from the State School
Commissioner.
Dept. Education, State of Georgia ,)
Office State School Com'er , >•
Atlanta, Ga., February 7, 1872.)
Editors Atlanta Daily Sun : I
propose, as briefly as possible, to
givo certain information, Ist, to
those interested in the Public
School# to be inaugurated for the
year 1872; and 2d,to those who have
rendered services as school officers
the past year, and are still unpaid.
Ist. As to tlie schools for the
present year. Under the amended
school law, no schools can be
established in any county till the
fall term of the Superior Court for
that county. The only school <Jffi
cors for the county, under the law,
will be the County Board, to In
composed of five free holders, and
the County Commissioners chosen
by them, either from their own
number or from the citizens of the
county. The Grand Jury, at its
first session alter the passage of
the law, sec. 16th, is to choose
this board ; and it is made the
duty of the board, bcc. 19th, to
“make an estimate as the amount
necessary, in addition to what will
be received from the State, to carry
on said schools for at least six
months in tho year, which esti
mate si tall be placed before the
Grand Jury at its next session and
said Grand Jury may, if they ap
prove said estimate, authorize the
Ordinary or County Commissioner
in such county,to levy a county
tax sufficient to raise the required
sum.” Thus, it is clear no county
tax can be levied till the fall term
of the Court, aud section 30th pro
vides that “in case the Board of
Education of any county shall
fail to make the necessary provis
ions for continuing the schools in
operation t he length of time herein
required [six months, or, in the
C»18G 01 ixih wuiwtvn j
months. —Com.,] such graded or
high schools and primary schools,
as the case may’ he, slisll not be
entitled to any portion of the
school fund arising from the State
tax during the next succcetling
school year or subsequent school
years, until the establishment ol
such school or schools, hut such
fund shall remain in the I reasury
of the State of Grorgia.” This
last quotation seems to establish
it as the policy of the law to pay
over to no county her pro rata part
of the State fund, till the constitu
ted authorities levy the neeessary
county tax. It is clear, thon, that
no school can be established Lid the
second term of the court, and not
then, without the Grand Jury shall
authorized the levy of the neceesary
county tax. I would, therefore, re
commend teachers to open private
schools upon their own terms for the
first half of the year.
2nd. As to the compensation for
survives rendered hy teachers and
others the past year. It will be seen
from the copy of the law, which has
been generally distributed among
the school officers, that Section 4th
ofthe Act approved 20th January,
1872, authorizes the Governor to
draw his warrant on the '1 reasurer
in favor of the State School Commis
sioner, for the sum of three hunderd
thousand dollars, to bo paid out of
the funds then in the I roasury, ap
propriated ty law, to the Public
School system, and if said fund is
insufficient to pay the debt now due
to the officers of Public Schools,
sention sth provides that the amoulit
shall be raised by a sale of bonds now
in the Treasury of the State under
act of July 16tb, 1870.
It is imposible for me to tell when
this money will be ready for distribu
tion for several reasons:
Ist. There i» great uncertainty as to
what is due the school fund, and it is
impossible to ascertain at present,what
portion of this is now in the J rsasurv.
2nd. A pioviso to the section in ref
ereuce to the sale of bftnds says: i
that they shall not be sold at rates j
injurious to the credit of tlio State,.
to be left to the discretion of the :
Governor.
3rd. Another proviso requires j
the money to be distributed in the |
proportion of the children of each |
county, entitled to the privileges of
the Public Schools, and there are
thirty counties in the State that
have not made full returns as to the
number of children so.entitled.
Just as soon as the necessary step
can be taken to realize the money
in a manner which shall accord with
the provisions of the law, it will bs
done, and the parties in interest shall
receive the proper official notice
from this department.

A Beautiful Case.
Eli Perkins, in tho Now York
Commercial of Saturday, narrates
tho following operation at Bellevue
Hospital:
The man operated upon was Rich
ard Gates, lie was about thiity five
years old, and of good phjsioue.—
Richard had broken his leg below
the knee, in two places a few months
before. The leg had gotten partly
well, but some old dead bone had
healed up with tho rest and the
broken leg, though knitted together,
was crooked and three inches shorter
than the other. The operation to be
performed was Necrosis.
“It is a beautiful case, gentleman,”
said Dr. Markoe, as the man
lay on the operating table, while
the eyes of about thirty medical
students looked down upon him
from the amphitheatre—“Yes, gentle
men, a b-e-a utiful ease,” measured
the doctor, as lie examined his victim.
“Now,” he continued, “this leg
must be rebroken, tho old hone taken
out and the leg must bo pulled out
straight t« its proper length.’’ Then
turning to poor Richard Gates he
said, “Now my man, wo will give
you ether and do the best we can.”
“Thank you,' doctor!” said brave
Richard Gates, without faltering.
Now the ether was administered
from a sponge by the young hospital
physicians and surgeons. It took
ten minutes to make Richard insen
sible, which time was filled up by
Dr. Markoe in a scientific talk to the
student,#. At the end of ten minutes
Richer! vai insensble. They knew
this, because he did not even wince
when'they put their fingers on his
naked eve ball, the most sensitive
of organs.
Now the Doctor rolled up his
sleeves, put on a black alpaca apron,
and, with a smile of gratification,
commenced to cut away at his fol
io vv in an. Straight through the skin,
muscles, fat and lean to the bone
! ;rrr j - A --* r * *-*■■ * a x - , -a
tied around the leg above the knee
to prevent the blood from rushing
out. Richard was dead to all feeling,
lie only groaned as if in a sick sleep.
After the Doctor had laid the llesh
well open to the bono, he took pin
cers and picked out tho broden pieces
—one was an inch and a half long.
“IIa!” lie said, holding it up a* the
students applauded—“see what a
beautiful piece of old bono! This is
a delightful case.” Then the sur
geons held Richard, while the doctor
broke again the new formation of
bono in the leg. Then he pulled the
leg out straight, just like the other
one, while the medical boys continued
to cheer in great glee. They were so
carried away with the science of the
thing, that they forgot poor Richard
Gates, whose suffering was giving to
the world more know ledge than the
best of us may ever hope to,
“The thing is done, gentlemen,”
said Dr. Markoe, as lie took off his
apron, and then all the medical stu
dents came down to .poor Richard
and examined tho wound. They put
their fingers in it exclaiming, “its
all right now,” “what a beautiful
case,” “its going to make a glorious
resection,” and then they all went
away, leaving the poor victim in the
hands of Dr. Dunning arid the nurses,
Gradually Richard came to —first
hisjeyes wandered. Then he turned
to the nurse and said: “George, you
are a smart, good man,” and hum
med something like “Katy Darling.”
Then he seemed half uncnscieus
while tho nurse bourn! up tho wounds
—“poor, dumb mouths,” and Rich
ard fell asleep. Wbeu I left.he was
io a heavy sleep.
• * * * *
[ was so deeply interested in Rich
ard Gates, that to-night I rode over
to see him. I found him awake,
with his leg bound in plaster of paris,
and sitting up in bed.
“How do you leel Richard!’’ I
asked.
“Oh, I feel pretty well, sir, only
my knee pains me a little,” he re
plied.
‘Did you fee! it when they were
cutting out the bone!”
“No. I had a nice dream, and
when 1 awoke I was lioreou the bed,
iu the same place.”
His nurse tells me that Richard
could he walking around ou crutches
ifhehada good constitution. All
they want at Bellevue is a good con
stitution and pure blood in a man,
and they will take out his backbone
and put in an other.
Ether is user! now altogether,
instead of chloroform —the latter
being considered dangerous.
Richard’s diet will now bo strong
fluids, which can be easily digested
without exercise. He will soon he
up again.

tween life and death ?” asked a
Sunday school teacher of a young
lady in the Bible class, who blushed
and said, “I’d rather he excused
from speaking his name.”
Fashionable young ladies should

an excellent material from which
to cut patterns for the style of
