^tjne of the inost delightful exercises
that can be indulged in by the family
circle is the practice of sacred Jmusic
ou Sabbath ettening. And to derive
the greatest aippunt of pleasure from
it, it should be. accompmied by a
cabinet organ. This baa a sweetly sol
emn which no other instrument
can ever attain, which makes it an in
valuable accompaniment, to sabbath
evening or family worship. The cabi
net organ ie an improvement on. the
melodebn, and has been brought t<S
great perfection of late, years. Decid
edly the best made are those of Mason
A- Hamlin, which are sold by Geo. P.
Guilford A.Co., Macon., One of them
is now used by the Baptist Church in

i was delivered
;he Houston Literary Association,
last Monday night on ‘the question,
“Does Georgia or Texas oner a more
favorable field terouryoung men?”
" Mr. Presidentrr-Tbe gentlemen -tell
qs of the adyahtagesTexas offers,,butin
i my opinion she has more disadvantages
than-advantages. Any man will be
ruined who goes to Texas. I trill give
you some facts, sir,, to prove it. I
knew a man rince who lived in Geor
gia—a young man, sir, full of promise,
who had hair on his teeth. This was
a. source of-revenue to him. It grew
spontaneously and he made mattresses
of ft. But, sir, he went"to Texas, and
after he had been there's few months
the only way he could get hair on his
teeth-was to comb his eye-brows into
his mouth, or bite a dog. That is'the
way Texas reduced him.
Again, sir, my uncle had a neigh
bor, here in Georgia, who could witli
ease pick h'is teeth with his^toe-nails.
Sir he hadn’t been in the the wilds of
Texas two months before he wa* en
tirely without toe-nails. He. had .to
grind them into'flour to thicken his
soup with. There’s one of the beau
ties of Texas life. .

A great deal of loss has resulted
in past years to the farming interest
by the use of worthless fertilizers. A
farmer who is not an analytical chem

spuriou; from that which is genuine.
The only safe plan is to buy from a

would not deceive. E. L. Felder is

And now, I shall attempt in as few
"wdrds as gossible-to give your readers
.an aeeoriht'of the arrestBf'C.J. Hunter,

the deserter, thief and bigamist. For
two or three weeks past, a young man

count of himself was untrue. On the
iborniug of last Friday, however, one
Hurlbert, an agent of the Southern
Express Company arrived hereon trace
of a man who had obtained three hun
dred and seven dollars and thirty-
three cents from an agent of the Com
pany at Waukeenah, Florida, by per
sonating another party. Ou Satnrday
morning Hurlbert went before Justice
Maddox, and made affidavit that
Hunter was the man who had commit
ted the offense, and prayed for a war
rant for bis arrest and detention till
the proper steps conld be taken for
his extradition, by toe authorities of
Florida. - The warrant was issued, and
on the afternoon of toe same day
Hunter was arrested by Deputy Sher
iff, Butner. He showed no excite
ment, said that there was some mis
take, and that he was the wrong man.
The ’night train, however, brought
down Superintendent Dempsey, of the
Southern Express Company at Augus
ta, on toe -same business. The proof
in the possessiorfof the Company’s
agents was conclusive, and on Sunday,
Hunter/waifiS c^ried" toj Mac-on arid
lodged m thfe jail of Bibb county. It
■has.since transpired that he is a de
serter froip/itoe United States SAririjr;
and a reward is now being offered for
Iris’arrest. And fnrther, that he is a
bigamist, having a wife in tide State
as well as in Florida*- Worsefhan all,

Business Laws.—It is not legally nec-
esfic.Ty to say on a note “ter value re
ceived.” . ■ ..
A note on Sunday is void.
A note obtained by fraud; or; from a
person in a state of intoxication cannot
be collected.
If a note is lost or stolen, it does not
release the maker; he must pay it if
the consideration’ for which it was
given’and the amount can be prov-
l.
An endorser of a note is exempt
from liability if not served with a no
tice of dishonor within twenty-four
hours of its non-payment.
A note by a minor.is void.
Notes bear interest only when so
stated.
Principals are responsible for the acts-
.of their agents.
Each individual in partnership is re
sponsible for the whole amount of the
of toe firm.
Ignorance of the law excuses
- r It is a fraud to’conceal' a fraud:
The law compels no one 'to ' do' 'im
possibilities.
An agreement without consideration
is void.
; Signatures made wito, lead pencils
are good in law. ..
* A receipt fan money paid is not, le-
igally conclusive.

This year’ promises to be second’ to none
in load and national importance; The
great Presidential contest between the Deni-
ocratic and Republican parties, os between
Constitutionalism and the rights .of -the
people on one ride, and Centralism and
ifoperialicin upon .toe other, will agitate
the country to its remotest comers.
In State affairs toe times will be no less
eventful. Just emerging from a terrible
crisis, the people of Georgia will soon see
the final developments of toe Radical dra
ma enacted in the State since toe war. Be
sides therew ill be the regular election for
Governor.
The Constitution has a eorps’of corres
pondents, domestic and foreign, unsurpass
ed by any journal in toeSouth. It is pub
lished at toe capital, and furnishes full pro
ceedings of toe -Legislature and toe Su-
preme Couri together wito Telegraphic
anil Commercial News from all parts, of the.
World.
Being, at toe political centre or Georgia,
it has superior advantages to obtain toe la
test political and general intelligence.
The Constitution is now toe Official
Organ of toe State of Georgia "and the
Democratic party.' having beei unani
mously elected at the last seSson of toe
General Assembly It is also the official
paper of this city and county.
To toe pe pie of South-west Georgia we
desire te call attention :& toe tact -that The
Atlanta Constitution now reaches them
with the. Mapom papers of the same date. .
Every one who, would kpep- up ..with toe
times, and have an mteliigent, wcll iniorin-.
ed hpnse}ioldj shotdd by pll means take his
l .cal paper aad.pne from the capial.
