THE “PATRONS OP HUSBANDRY”
IN BROOKS COUNTY.
It is not generally known, but never
theless it is true, that there has .been or
ganised in the county of Brooks, with
headquarters at, Quitman, a “Grange" of
the “Patrons of Husbandry,” and ere
long every fanner of character and in
telligence will have his name enrolled on
its ledger of membership. The organiza
tion is an important one, our very best
citizens are taking a lively interest in it,'
and it is conceded that it is a necessity for
the farming interests. Combinations aro
the order of the day, and with no class of
men are they more necessary than tho
fanners of the country. Tho principles
and objects of the “Grange” (fully set
forth in another column,) are honorable,
and if successfully carried out, will prove
beneficial to the country. Therefore, as
a journalist, we shall extend to it every
encouragement; in fact, it, appearing to
us expedient, that the organization should
have an organ for the advancement of
its interests and the propagation of its
principles, a tender was made, and we
are happy to announce that the Quitman
Banner has been accepted as the organ
of this local Grange.
Under these circumstances, we shall
hereafter devote a portion of our space
to the discussion and dissemination of
matters of material interest to tho plan
ter. We have received assurance that
prominent citizens, who have experience
as farmers, will avail t hemselves of the j
Agricultural department of the Banner, I
and frequently give their views on topics j
of importance. And wo particularly re- j
quest all who feel an interest, and have j
knowledge of agriculture, to contribute
their mites for the entertainment and in
formation of the masses.
THE PRESS GANG.
It was a jolly crowd that gathered at
Amoricus last week: There was the
good natured and popular Gorman, of
Talbotton and Paris; the brilliant, fearless
aud indomitable Stvi.es, of Albany; the j
talented, eloquent and courteous Ci.ark, ;
of Atlanta; tbo polite, dignified aud grace- j
fnl Keene, of Macon; the popular, expo- ■
rieneed, unswerving Thompson, of “Ma
jor Jones” notoriety, and the energetic,
model journalist, Estii.i., of Savannah;
the dignified and eloquent, Miller, of
Columbus; «tho unostentatious “Eagle
Orator,” Baker, of Blaokshear; tho clev
er and courteous Pbnpt.rton, of Valdos
ta; the fun provoking and good natured
Russell, of Bainbridge;the jolly, reckless
and persevering Smith, of Brunswick; the
sedate and handsome Stone, ol‘ Forsythe;
the portly and accomplished Andrews,
of Washington; the generous, whole-soul
ed Hancock, of Amoricus; the energetic
and talented Peeples, of Lawrenceville;
the reserved and agreeable Christian, of
Tboniasville; the mirth provoking tCnd
happy Weston, of Dawson; and many
others whose names are not remembered
at this moment. They had congregated
for business, fun and frolic; and they
certainly accomplished all their designs.
It was a pleasant reunion, and we aro
sanguine they all returned to .their homes
with a. more exalted idea of their stat ions
in life, as members of the “Fourth Es
tate."
THE FEDERAL JURY.
The rulings of Judge Erakine, in ref
erence to the policy pursued in this State
in the selection of Federal Jurors, has
been fully sustained by Judge Bradley.
Os course no other decision was expected,
ns the system inaugurated was in accor
dance with the express desire of tho Fed
eral Administration. The Judiciary, iu
these degenerate days, is subserviant to
a power behind the t hrone, and grave
decisions as to questions of law are not
considered in tho light of the Constitu
tion, but in pursuance w ith tho require
ments and necessities of party. Radi
calism required a change in the mode of
selecting jurorr in Georgia—Farrow ar
ranged the machinery; Erskine examined
and pronounced it good for radicalism;
aud now Bradley has no option but to
echo the sentiment of his inferior. Aud
thus we go 1 Grant controls the puree,
the sword, the legislative departments of
the government, and the Judiciary dare
not make a decision in pursuance with
tho Constitution, if antagonistic to the
interest of the dominant, party. This is
a terrible state of affairs, and honest men
may well tumble for the future.
Convicts in the Michigan State prison
are hereafter to be treated with eorisid
te atii n. The Legislature has voted to
flee them from the humiliation of wear
ixjcr Air ped garments, and has also given
them Bciinission to correspond with their
relatives and intimate friends. The Stab?
also devote* funds toward their educa
tion. end gives each one. wfieu discharg
ed ten dollars’ worth of clothing and
ten dollars in cash, with such other mon
ey as he max i , v>■ earned 1 y ox erwerk.
The Pi-cah Gang ut Am< l ions.
We would lie pleased, did our space
permit, to give a detailed report of our
visit to the teautiful and progressive city
of Amerieus, on last Wednesday, and the
grand ovation extended to the members
of the “Georgia Press Association,” by
tho editors of the local press, the city
authorities, its citizens and beautiful, in
telligent, ladies. They were lavish in
hospitality and profuse in demonstrations
of welcome. The ladies, gentlemen and
children, for the time laid aside their du
ties and their studies, and vied with each
other in the endeavor to make the repre
sentatives of the “Fourth Estate” happy.
And they certainly succeeded. For three
days the forty editors present were un
speakably happy—they rioted on the
bountiful hospitality of Amerieus—and
when they departed it was with happy
recollections of their visit, and the kind
est wishes for the continued prosperity
of the generous hearted populace.
On Wednesday night the Press Associ
ation visited, in a body, the “Furlow Ma
sonic Female College,” whereof the Rev.
T. S. T. Douglass is President. The
members were welcomed in an hour’s ad
dress by Mr. MeCleskey, which, for elo
quence ond oratory we do not think pos
sible to be excelled. Our honored Presi
dent, Mr. J. H. Estill, made a very hand
some response. The occasion of the vis
it to the College, was in response to an
invitation to attend a musical soiree, giv
en in compliment to the Press. The
young ladies acquitted themselves well,
and the Amoricus Cornet Band very ma
terially assisted in the evening’s enter
tainment.
On Thursday evening the grand Ball
and Banquet came off. Two immense
halls had I teen beautifully decorated with
evergreens and flowers, and so arranged
as to la; attractive to the eye and oondu
i eive to the comfort of tho guests. Tho
| hall was delightful, the ladies charming,
; tho gentlemen attentive to their guests,
! the banquet tables loaded with all the
[ substomtials and luxuries to please the
eye and tempt tho palate, and sparkling
wine flowed liko water. The arrange
ments were all perfect, and the man who
could fail to be happy on such an occa
sion, must, indeed, bo scared in heart.
The banquet x-.-as a noble tribute to the
power and of an unbridled
press, and the representatives who par
ticipated in the honors conferred, highly
appreciated tho same.
On one of the tables was a magnificent
pyramidal cake, made by Mrs. C. W.
Hancock, the accomplished wife of the ed
itor of tho Republican. During the even
ing, President Douglas of the Female
College, presented it to the Press Asso
ciation in a few well-timed remarks; who
xvas responded to by Col. Miller, of the
Columbus Sun. On file next day, lioxv
ever, the Association donated tho hand
some cake to the young ladies of the Col
lege, as a slight appreciation of the soiree
that had been furnished on Wednesday
evening. Tho presentation was by Col.
S. W. Baker, of Blaokshear, who is cer
tainly entitled to the nom deplume of the
“Eagle Orator." His remarks were beau
tiful, chaste and very appropriate. The
President of the College received it on
behalf of the young ladies.
Before closing this brief sketch of the
generous hospitality extended to the
Press, we desire to tender our special
thanks to Col. C.'W. Hancock, the able
editor of the Amerieus Republican, as
well as bis associates, Messrs. Reiley &
Graham, for t heir hiany acts of kindness.
They were the instigators and directors
of all the lavish hospitality showered ou
their brethren of the Press Aassociat ion,
and we shall always hold them in kind
remembrance.
Tlic I' loiul mret Vegetable ExhiU
l ion.
To take plnee at the Fair Grounds in 1
Thomasville, on the 30thmet., will, doubt- 1
less, lie a grand affair. Every pro para- j
tion has been made for the comfort and
pleasure of visitors, and the Times ex- 1
tends a cordial invitation to everybody to j
te'prcsent. It says that “Thomasville !
will pay all the premiums, and raise
money to defray all incidental expenses;
so that our friends from this and sur
rounding counties, will not be asked to
do anything but to come, bring their
baskets, and enjoy one of those social re
unions, that knit together so firmly and
kindly our people. No admission fee;
no entry fee; everything free; so come
along everybody, bring whatever kind of
a lunch you please, and invite whomso
ever you please to share it with you.”
The premiums, which are to In? paid in
gold, for the best vegetables and choicest
j flowers, range from $4.00 to $10.00; and
; Dr. Bower offers a special premium of
$5.00 for “tho cleanest, nicest dressed
and finest looking Baby (boy or girl) un
der two years old, to be on the grounds
and decided by three old bachelors and
two old maids.”

""".ALBANY**"
We paid this progressive and beauti
ful little city a brief visit on last Friday,
and were considerably surprised at the
numerous evidences of prosperity. The
business houses are large and substan
tial, and generally filled with elegant
stocks of goods; and many of the private
residences are models of architecture,
evidencing refined taste and good judg
ment. We were particularly pleased,
however, with the good condition and
cleanliness of the streets. It speaks well
for the civil authorities : they evidently
have a care for tho health of the city. Wo
found the clever and brilliant editors of
the News pCol. Styles and Frank Evans,
in fine spirits and driving a lucrative
business. They have a splendid news
paper establishment, and get out the best
country weekly in the State. They cer
tainly deserve the immense patronage
that is extended to them.
I 'rtqn Don J si.i >i.i.
Intelligmitwfr(n®~}/tnitma«a is to the
effect that although affairs appear more
tranquil ou Hie surface, the smouldering
fires of indignation are liable to burst
forth afresh at aPy moment. The bands
of patriots, under Gen. Deßlanco, who
were underarms iu the neighborhood of
St. Martin, have distended, in pursuance
with the orders of the Federal military
authorities, and the officers havo been
arrested and earned to New Orleans.
They will, wo presume, he tried for trea

they were received by tremendous cheers
from seven thousand persons, who had
assembled to welcome them.
Tlte Georgia Press Association.
This body transacted souse very im
portant, business at its session in Ameri
eus last week, portions of which we sha’i
take occasion to allude to at an early
day. Tlie following were the officers
elected for the present year;
President J. H. Estill, of the Morn

Vice Presidents -Carey W. Styles, of

of the Atlanta Constitution.

Deaf It’s Dili tuts
Major P. 11. Beiin, of Savannah, died
last week of heart disease, aged about !
sixty-five years. For forty fears be has j
occupied a prominent position among j
the mercantile men of the “Forest City.” :
An honest man and an upright Christian
gentleman, he had the esteem and res
pect of all, aud his death is deeply la
mented.
Capt. James L. Moseley, during the
past two years a resident of Quincy,
Florida, died very suddenly at Lake Ci‘y,
the early part of last week. For many
years he was a citizen of Quitman, and
his death is generally deplored. He was
a highly educated gentleman, a fine ora
tor, and a courteous, jovial and agreea
ble companion. He was about forty
eight years of age.
English Estimate or Lee. —An able
article ou Robert E. Lee, iu the Edin
burgh Review, contains the following:
“The day will come when the evil pas
sions of the great civil strife will sleep in
oblivion, and North and South will do
justice to each other’s motives and for
get each other’s wrongs. Then history
will speak with clear voice of the deeds
done on either side, and the citizens of
the whole Union do justice to the memo
ry of the dead, and place above all oth
ers the name of the groat chief of whom
we have written. In strategy mighty;
in battle terrible; in adversity, as in
| prosperity, a hero indeed, with the sim
j pie devotion to duty and the rare purity
■ of the ideal Christian knight he joined
j all the kingly qualities of a leader of men.
■ It is a wondrouq future, indeed, that lies
1 before America, but in her annals of
years to come, as in those of the past,
then 1 xvili be fouud few -names that can
rival in unsullied lustre that of the hero
! ic defender of his native Virginia, Eob-
I ert Edward Lee.”
! Tlie Cuban cause lias become so lively
jof late that all the available regular
Spanish troops in Havana have been or
: dered into the field.
The Columbus Sun, of Sunday, says:
Love Larons at Looks. — A man and
woman married yesterday morning, got
i drunk by dinner, fought in the afternoon
tend slop in the guardhouse at night.
1 Can this be as a bridal trip?
“A JUST TRIBUTE.”
Under this caption Col. Carey W.
Styles, theJ:>rilliant editor of the Albany
News, copies and endorses the remarks
of the Savannah News, in commendation
of the political course of the Banner,
and says:
“The Banner now ranks among the
very best weekly papers in the State.
Bro. Pildes has purchased new type, en
larged his paper, and steamed up gener
ally. He is an enterprising newspaper
man, and the Banner will wave just as
long as Fildts sticks to the helm.”
A Florida Desperado.
A Lake City (Florida) correspondent
of the New York World, furnishes tho
following:
Some weeks ago a man named Jim
McDonnell was murdered at Mclwen's
Ferry, on the Suwanet?river, by a noto
rious outlaw and desperado known as
Ed. Lawson. Hearing of the murder of
his brother, William started out as an a
vengcr. Accompanied by a man named
Peter Hagans and a ferocious dog, he
made his way to Mclwen's Ferry, near
which the outlaw Lawson lived, and after
some little reconnoitering came upon the
object of his search near the river. Law
son, divining doubtless the object of the
men, endeavored to escape to a neighbor
ing hammock. But McDonnell had pro
vided against such a contingency, and
the dog was slipped from his leash and
set upon his human prey. There was a
short, hopeless race —a desperate strug
gle— and the mtirderer Lawson was at
the mercy of the murderer McDonnell.
The fieri* dog had set his Jpngg in the
man’s shoulder aud held him firmly to
the earth until the pursuers came up.
There was hut a slight display of eti
quette when the two murderers met.
McDonnell told Lawson that he hail
come to avenge the death of his brother,
and allowed his prisoner fifteen minutes
to prepare for his doom. The wretched
culprit devoted the few moments of his
life to a confession horrible in the ex
treme. He not only admitted that he
had murdered the brother of McDonnell
for his money, but confessed that he hail
also murdered five other men and two
women for the purpose of obtaining
their money, anil added that these mur
ders had only netted him s2f> all told.
When Lawson was through with his con
fession, McDonnell placed the muzzle of
his gun to the murderer’s head and scat
tered his brains broodcast over the
ground.
THE STATE RCA l> WAR.
Ex-Gov. Jos. E. Brown and the edit
ors of the Atlanta Herald are indulging
in bitter language towards each other.
Drown published in the Constitution of
Sunday, a letter, in which lie charges the
Ilerahl with an at t nipt to blackmail
him. This influenced two cards from the
HeraUl editors: Col. Ai.ston says
Brown is guilty of deliberate aud willful
falsehood, and Mr, Abrams intimates
that the i x-Governor is an unmitigated
liar aud scoundrel. Os course such lan
guage calls for “pistols and coffee,” or
referen e of the Double to a Board of
Honor.
A colored preacher of Baker county
was killed under the following circum
stances on the 3d inst., says the Daw
son Journal : “It. appear that Oajit.
Ivey had been missing corn from his mill,
and in such quantities as to put his em
ployee on the lookout for the rogue. In
vestigation led to the conclusion that tho
thief made his entrance through a certain
window in the mill-house. Accordingly
a gun was heavily loaded and so arrang
ed that, when the window was hoisted the
“cap would pop and down come the nig
ger.” To the surprise of the entire com
munity, on Sunday morning, the 4th, the
local colored preacher, who had prayed,
preached and shouted until a late hour
the night befpre, was found prostrate
near the window with the side of his head
caved'in.”
Hiring a penitentiary is rather a queer
kind of speculation. That of the State
of Missouri (with all the inmates there
at present and likely to come) has been
leased to four gentlemen, who agree to
pay all the expenses of the prison and a
bonus of SI,OOO to the State, w hich re
tains, we suppose, the appointment of
most of the officers of the prison. The
convicts will lie worked for the benefit of
the lessees and it is estimated that Mis
souri will save over SIOO,OOO annually l>v
this convenient arrangemnt.
It is stated that Agramonte, the Cuban
leader, committed suicide rather than
fall captive in the hands of the Spaniards.
Gen. Agramonte, was a brother to Mr. A.
Agramonte formerly a citizen of this
county.
A California paper seriously announc
es that Capt. Jack Ims divided Jhis army
of fifty men into three divisions; the first,
under the captain, is to sweep northward
and subdue Oregon, while the t bird forc
es its way over the mountains and sage
hush and devastates Nevada and Utah.

There can be no necessity, at tbi; late ilay.
; for the press to speak in conimendatorj terms ot
! this remarkable medicine., in order to promote
its sale; tor it is a medicine that is known and
appreciated the wide world ibrorgb. Whenever
we speak of tho Pain-Killer, as in the present
instance, we do so in behalf of theafllieted.rath
i er than with the view of adr..Being the interests
of the proprietors. For various diseases, such
as rheumatism, cholera, cholera-morbne, barns,
1 sprains, bruises, and so on to the end of the cat

I dy before the people equal to Davis’ Vegetable

, tainly. wo cannot refer to the history of any
medicine which equals that of the Pain Killer,
i it was introduced in IStO. and from ibat time to
this its sale, both at home and abroad, has con
stantly and rapidly increased, and we rejoice at
the high reputation it- has achieved, because this
reputation shows-tliat it has been the means of
relieving avast amount of human suffering. We
