two rings about the sun were visible
at this place, each being about twen
tj degrees in diameter. One was
very plain, having something of the
coloring of the rain-bow, and the sun
was at itseentre. The other was not
quite so clearly defined, but its cir
cumference was through the sun, and
jt centre was at the western circum
ference of the first,-—as shown in the
accompanying eat. The first was
doubtless caused by the refraction of
the sun’s rays in passing, through a
thin strata cf cloud, and the second
was probabl y a reflection of the -first.
Oiir patron friends neea not be

but a few minutes; and now there is

Fasts and Figure? •
From the returns made to tbe Tax
Receiver there appears to be in culti
vation in this county the present year
37,564 acres in cotton, 34.871 in corn,
1,470 in wheat-, 3,794 in oats, 603 in
sweet potatoes. There are 7,961 bead
of hogs, 2,015 horses and mules, aud
3,273 eattle. Value of taxable proper
ty $2,844,041. Total acres in culti
vation, 78,302. We suppose the above
figures are approximately correct.
Referring t> the census of 1870, we
find there are in the county 154,433
acres of tillable land, 130,125 in wood
laud and 12,130 in waste. So we see
just a 1 t'.ie over half of the improved
land is in cultivation, The number
of hogs in 1870 was 10,963, or 3,000
more than now.
We estimate the products of tbe
present year at 9,391 bales of cotton,
and 348,710 bushels of corn, worth
$1,098,000, which added to other
crops will increase the p: odtiels to
$1‘50U,000, or 50 per cent, of the tax
able pr p rty.
The population of Houston county
was in 1870-21,775, of which 6,273 are
white aud 15,502 negroes. Since that
time the negroes have probably de*
crossed by emigration to 12,51)0 ma
king the total popnlation about 18,-
0U0, This gives an average of about
$150 worth of property to every man
woman and child, or $±00 to each
white ’person. Tlio average annual
gross production of each person is
about $30, and of each laborer $300.
We.calcnlate that the average quan
tity of corn consumed in the county is
420,000 bnshels, of which heretofore
about 150,000 bushels have been
brought from the West. This year
the quantity bought will probably not
exceed 75,000 bushels, and from the
best information we can get, by the
strictest economy, dilligeuce in raising
forage crops, and good management
generally, Houston county will not
need in 1875 over 25,000 bushels of
Western corn, probably none.
We will one day give some figures
on the bacon question.

Report adopted.
On motion, it was resolved that the
Delegates should^go nntrammelled by
instructions from this convention.
Res. 1—That a -convention consist
ing cf 3 delegates from each Militia
District he held at the Court House
in Perry, at 12 ii. on the'lst Tuesday
in September next for the pnrpose of
n minuting candidates for the Legi:-
ariire.
Res. 2.—-That each Militia Dist. be
requested to hold a me tiilg at their
respective precincts on Saturday 29ih
inst., for the purpose of Sending del
egates to said convention.
Res. 3,—That the present Execu-
ashamedof our progeny to which therd ? ±ive Committee of this county be re-
a blank in usefulness.
This world is a school house and in
it many instructor^ ■ but wise is he
that can command that amount of can
dor, that wilfalways shield him in so-
ciefcy, protect him in. prosperity, and
Uphold him in adversity,—hence, I
say we may continue to learn as we
cciutinne to fore, biifr I fear 1 may
or that my task may prove abortive,ns
I deem this subject too deep for iny
consideration. Parents, have you ev
er thought on this most important
subject as you ought, we all prefer to
love onr cliSb? -r:,protect them against
all the visible dangers' at home claim
ing the supremacy above all others to
instruct and control them, bnt con
tent onrielves as ire have grown old friends. Misses Cater.

without a knolwedge of books, onr
children can do the same, saying it
ii nothing so dear, or pleasant; ,an
from my observation to-day and in;
time past this you have done. Strange
as it may seem to some, the recollec
tions of childhood in old age are so
indelibly stamped as to be recalled in a
moments reflections, while themes of
the present are continually'lost from
memory.
An old proverb is that there were
men for ivory occupation and business
iri life bat therejs so much ,in
this age, I can’t tell whether there is
more men or more business, at least
Indies are filling vacancies.
I claim then that after we have pas
sed onr collegiate course, our educa
tion is incomplete, yet if the moral
and domestic teachings are imbibed
npon the memory to the acknowledge
ment that of being the master of arts
and sciences does not weigh them in
the balance of perfection, but that
there is a knowledge yet to be obtain
ed to fit and qualify them and make
them useful in society,, to tbe bum-
blest as well as the noblest, we then
as parents may hope to realize that
all our efforts have not been in vain,
but that our hearts will burst forth
with ecstatic joy to see onr offspring
launch npon.a, life’s career armed and
prepared with that intellectual knowl
edge and stability of character that
-will most likely militate to honor and
usefulness, I*;--
Children let me entreat you as one
that feels that bis time has been mis
spent-, as one that can only look back
to early youth with deep regret, as I
believe that success in life depends
solely upon our own efforts, to be dili
gent in school, obedient and strive to
learn, that you may begin life with
I>:irpo3e to succeed, for while you are
unstable and ponderingin yonr minds
others will pass you in pnrsnlt of em
inence, and perchance yon will bring
your parents down to their graves in
sorrow and. _ egri.t, for the reason that
you were the only-hope of their peace
and consolation in old' age, and yon
have been disobedient and heedless,
and-will only look back at your past
opportunities as we have, with -shame,
and regret yonr folly.
