I “The Patrons of Husbandry.”
I Under the above heading, elsewhere in our
columns will be seen an article, concemir ;
an organization which has very recent; •
Sprung up in our midst, and is now attractin ;
the attention, and eliciting the best wishe. ,
of some of the ablest and most patriotic cit •
zens of our State. It is a move in the rigl
direction, and, as we understand it, it is .
good institution, and we cheerfully coiamen .
it to our readers. It has for its purpose tl ■
melioration of the condition of the farmei .
of the country, and the object is commend; -
ble. Why may not the farmers combine fc.'
their own protection, and interest, and ben ■
fit ? We admit that these combinations do no
at a first glance, seem to be in harmony wit
the theory of our government, and in uniso .
with the spirit of our institutions, and fi
this reason we would wish that the organ'-
zation may not become an engine of oppres
sion or iiij us lice. But as matters exist at tL
present times, when combinations seem to l
the order of the day, and centralization i
almost everything is the tendency of the ten ■
dency, of the age, we do not fear any ev;
consequences fora; a combination of thehor
est, sturdy yeomanry of our country, becaus
they are attached to the fundamental princ
pies of our government and in them lies the s;
vation of our free republican institution!.
and wo believe that the exigences of tho time
demand such a combination. Within th
last few years, grand political schemes hav
been set forth to influence and control ov.
State and Federal governments, and oncrou
and unjust taxes have been taken from th
working men of the land ; powerful railroa
corporations have combined and demando
high rates of freight for carrying the farmer
products to market, and have otherwise mad
unjust discriminations adverse to the interes 1 ,
of farmers; many unscrupulous “middl
men” have become rich because they retail
ed in their own hands the just duck of the;
patrons ; unprincipled moneyed “rings” hav
combined to fraudulently' extort our mone
from us, or impair the credit of our State, an
still under these adverse circumstances, th 1
honest sons of the soil have patiently toiled on
even when they were aware that their hard
earned gains were being filched from thei
by the execrable harpies which have praye
upon their substance. Now wo do not wisi
to incur the wrath of any honest man, nor i
it our purpose to make any invidious distinc
tion of any class or calling of men, but w
do most earnestly deprecate the buruousom
taxation, and unfair dealings of which th
farmers of the country have been the victims.
But they are now waking up to their true in
terests, and we hope that the organization o
“The Patrons of Husbandry” may increase it
numbers, and bo successful in its purpose
so that it may become the balance of powe
to check and restrain the unfair exaction;
and centralizing tendencies of tho variou
combinations which have preceded them.
A Grange has been recently formed in thi
county, and we hope onr citizens will foste
its growth, promote its objects, and extent
its influence. More anon.
Killed While ATTEUPTira to Escape.-The
Atlanta Constitution, is informed that Thos.
O’Neal-of Clayton county, who was sentenced
to be hung for murder, but whose sentence was
commuted to life imprisonment, wa* killed at
Grant, Alexander A Co’s on the night 21st,
under the following circumstances;
O’Neal had made an agreement with anoth
er prisoner to overcome or kill the guard and
make an escape. The other prisoner, from
fear or some other cause, did not come np to
the appointment Mr. O’Neal made a rush
on his guard, capght him by the collar, and
with uprai^pd hand brandishing a knife, was
•in the act of plunging it into him, when an
other of the guard fired upon him, killing
him. Eleven buckshot entered .his body,
one or two of them his heart.
For Farmers and Mathematician*.
Mr. Joel Coney, , a practical, intelligent,
and successful farmer of Laurens county,
finds that an acre of land,.laid off in diamond
shaped figures, will accommodate a greater
number of hills of com, and give a larger
yield than laid off, as usual, in rectangles or
squares. So much for the fanner.
To the mathematician it presents a very
pretty .problem to jshow why a greater num
ber of hills is secured by Mr- Coney’s meth
od- I would like .to see a solution in The
Herald. jj,

The Macon Telegraph of the 21st does thi
matter up thus handsomely in regard to the
marriage of our popular young townsman,
S. M. Northington, F.sq., and Miss Sallia
Shackelford, a lovely daughter of that city ;
* The blushing orange blossoms blow'
Amid her jet black hair;
No maiden may with her compare,
Most beautiful, most rare.
On the night of the 20th inst. at the resi
dence of Maj. Shackelford, Mr. S. II. North
ington, of Sandersville, Ga., was united in
the holy bans of matrimony, to Miss bailie
H. Shackelford, of Macon, Ga.
Rev. James O. Branch tied the mystic knot,
and a numerous and fashionable assemblage
of invited guests witnessed the ceremony.
The beauteous bride was supported on this
trying occasion by a brilliant coterie of atten
dants whose names are as follows:
Miss Clara Shackelford, Miss Leila Dougherty
Miss Mollie Howes, Miss Carrie Butts,
Mis3 Mattie Hunt, Miss Leila Ross,
Miss Hennie Brown, Miss Susie Edwards,
The aids and gentlemen in waiting of the
gallant groom, were:
E. A. Northington, W. W. Collins,
J. A. Robson, TV. T. Ross,
H. W. Woodruff, P. B. Mays,
J. W. Banks, J. D. Newman.
The tableaux vivants of the bridal party, as
they stood upon the floor, was striking and
most beautiful. Vigorous manhood in its
prido and glory contrasted finely with the
gentle loveliness of the peerless maidens,
whose feminine charms were the admiration
of the beholders. And the youthful pair,
blushing, conscious, and happy, received
with grace and dignity the congratulations of
their friends. Not one conireiemp or note of
discord disturbed tho perfect harmony of the
evening, while a feast of good things, and the
merry jest and the pleasures of social inter
course, heightened the enjoyment of every
guest. To the happy couple we can only say,
may all <5f life’s journey be as thickly strewn
with flowers as the first stage upon which
they have ju3t entered.

Brain Worry.
The effects of last year’s political campaign
seem to have been peculiarly detrimental to
a number of the distinguished men of the
country. The cases of impaired health, and
mortality among them have been remarkable
during.tho Last six or eight months. Senator
Sumner, who was not in good health before,
was threatened with serious results on ac
count of the excitement and overtaxed enegies
of his mind, and was compelled to abandon
the campaign, and recruit himself in Europe.
Hon. Linton Stephens, whose sudden
death was so much deplored by the citizens
of this State, perhaps died from the severe
effects of brain work and worry. Hon. Hor
ace Greeley, died form a grif-stricken heart,
and overlabored and worried brain. The
much lamented Gen. A R. Wright, died from
a lingering fever which affected his brain,
and which was caused, very probably, from
constant mental work and worry during the
campaign in which he was elected as a mem-
of Congress. Severe mental labor is ascribed
as the cause of the sudden death of ex-Gov.
Geary, who died recently at Harrisburg, Pa,
while sitting at his breakfast table. Constant
mental toil and straining will wear out the
strongest constitution. The mind must have
rercation, and the boby must have rest Exces
sive mental exertion affects the nervous cen
ters, the vital force of the physical functions
is weakened, then' the foundations of the
health of the intellectnaf laborer is sapped,
and a premature death is the ^inveitable con
sequence. _ "
Civil War Imminent.
Affairs in Louisiana are still in a deplorable
condition. The two so-called governments
of that State continue'to contend for the
supremacy. In the U. S. Senate on the 24th
inst, in a discussion concerning the Caldwell
corruption, and the proposition to postpone,
Senator Carpenter said that the case of Louisi
ana did demand legislation, and if not acted
upon at this session, there was imminent
danger of civil war and blood-shed in that
State. Gen. Dick Taylor is in Washington
with a proposition for the settlement of the
muddle. His proposition is, that the Lynch
Returning Board shall canvass the returns,
and whoever they may return as elected, shall
be considered the legally constituted State
Government ana Legislature of the State.
The President informed the Committee on
Privileges and Elections that ho would send
a special message to the Senate witn his views
on the subject and asking for the necessary
legislation to enforce them. The President al
so said he would recognize*the Kellogg gov
ernment as legal, in case Congress should
adjourn withoutjtaking action on the subject,
and would take measures to assure its undis
puted authority.
Letter From Laurens-
Editors Herald:—Is it possible, that after
so many long years as journalists you are
obliged to answer your correspondent,
*■ Country man," that you do not know a re
liable nurseryman? If you really do not, and
if you have not profited by dealing with some
of those who stand at the very head of their
profession, and reside here in our own State,
I very much fear you have practiced very lit
tle of what you preach to your readers, on
the subject of fruit culture.
Please inform “Countryman” that he need
not go one step further than the “Fruitland
Nurseries,” at Augusta, Ga., to procure every
variety of each kind of fruit he may desire.
More than this ; he will precure from its pro
prietor, Mr- P. J. Berckman, the best rooted,
and best groien trees, (of every variety,) grown
by any nurseryman in the South. I speak
from experience, nnd this is the best school
to lcam fruit culture. Advise your friend
to plant his trees iD early winter, (Nov.), and
get his order on file at the nursery by 15th,
of October, and he will get first choice of
trees. While it is not yet too late to trans
plant, yet if your young trees are not severely
pruned, the preponderance of tops over root
growth will be so great as to shorten the life
of your tree, if not the value of the same in
bearing qualities. But I am digressing, my
object being only to refer your readers, and
particularly “Countryman,” to tbeFruitland
Nurseries, at Augusta, Ga., presided over by
that Prince of HoriicuUuralists, P. J. Berckman,
so well known throughout the United States
for his honesty, and thorough education and
experience as a Pomologist.
Of all things else, let me beg your readers
to beicare of those monster humbugs, Fruit tree
peddlers. Yours. .
OBITUARY.
Fell asleep in Jesus at shoals of Ogee*hee,
at l o’clock, P. M., Tuesday 4th day of Feb
ruary 1873, Mrs. Hattie F. Warthen wife of
Thos. Warthen, aged about 30 years. Not
withstanding a lingering disease had clasped
her in its rigid coil, yet her summon was
sudden; she conversed as usual with the
family at 10 A. M.—a few short hours, and
her spirit had flown.
Endowed by nature with a sweet disposi
tion, genial manners and handsome features,
she was at once a lovely, a noble woman.
At an early age she evinced a desire to join
the Christian flock and was received into the
il. E. church at Rock J/ills Hancock coun
ty, Ga., of which church she was a consistent
- member at her death. With tho same calm
Christian resignation that marked her few
months of lingering, she met tho grim mes
senger with, “My time has come,” and she
“passed oyer the river.”
Many friends and relatives mourn the un
timely death of one so loved, nor yet do they
murmur at the workings of that Providence
whose ways are mysterious—inscrutable—
“Thine, not mine, O Lord be done.”
May thy little Nannie Lou, so early bereft,
live in the inspiration of thy sweetness and
goodness to the solace of a kind, loving,
provident father and may her babbling,
“Loire me papa, mama’s dead" ever reflect thy
image, echo thy love into the heart of him
who “loved thee without ceasing—with a
devotion boundless.”

Died at his residence, in Washington coun
ty, Ga., on Monday, the 24th of this month,
Henry Duett, in his SGfch year, he was born
in Jefferson eounty, Ga., in the year 1787.
Henry Brett was a soldier in the British war
of 1812, being then in the prime of life, 25
years »f age, and very stout with strong con
stitution, made a good soldier. He married
Elizabeth Hobs when quite young, they rai:
ed eleven children to be grown men and
women, nine of them with many grand and
great grand children are now living to mourn
their loss, but they do not mourn as for one
v/ho has died without hope, but for a good
and true Christian, an honest man, tho no
blest work of God. The writer of this short
sketch, knew Henry Brett long and well,
and in all the relations of life when unable
to pay his debts promptly, would keep try
ing, never taking advantage of his creditors,
but at lenght, by industry and honesty, paid
all his debts and left the world owing no
man anything. Henry Brett lias been a
good and acceptable member of the Mission
ary Baptist Churc i, at New Bethel for many
years and until his health from old age ren
dered him unable to attend his church meet
ings was always in bis seat to uphold and
encourage his pastor. We are told to walk
in the way of holiness and it will lead to tho
kingdom; fight against sin and Satan and
we shall receive the crown; forsake the world
and the doors of Heaven will bo opened to
receive ns, as we believe Henry Brett is now
inheriting a better country. The Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple
there. A Fblend.

New Bethel, Feb. 22, 1873.
Whereas, Elder L. J. Harrison has labor
ed among us as Pastor for some thirteen
years, and for four years before he was call
ed as Pastor he assisted Father Isaac Smith
until Father Smith's death, and as such we
feel we should express our highest esteem
for him and his labors so faithfully among
us, having added many to the Baptist cause
at this place.
Therefore, Resolved, That Elder L. J.
Harrison is a faithful and efficient Minister
of the Gospel of onr blessed Saviour, and as
such we do recommend him to the consid
eration of all people.
Resolved, That in his removal, by resig
nation, from us we feel a great loss, but we
have the consolation that what is our loss
will be the gain of those among whom broth
er Harrison may labor.
Resolved, That the church give her earn
est sympathies and prayers for the welfare
of Bro. Harrison and his beloved family,
wherever God in his providence may cast
their lot.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be presented to Bro. Harrison, a copy sent
to the Hebald and Central Georgian for pub
lication, and a copy spread upon our Church
book.
Done by order of the Church iu Con
ference. J. M. HARRISON, Clerk.
Oce Mistake.—Ode Apology. In our last
issue we inadvertently made an error, for
which we now offer atonement. In our an
swer to a communication from ‘Countryman,’
we said we did not know any reliable nursery
man, but since the writing of that article our
attention has been called to an advertisement
in our columns of a firm that is reliable and
worthy of patronage ; we refer to the firm,
J. H. Parson A Co, proprietors of the “Savan
nah Sales Garden.” By a few circmstances
which came before us recently, we hadreceiv-
ed the iaipession upon our mind that those
gentlemen were dealers only in flowers, bulbs
and garden proudets Ac, hence we did not
refer onr enquirer to them, but they are also
dealers in fruit tuees, guape vines, Ac. , and
we recommend them to our readers. The
mistake was not intentional on our part, and
we now offer this apology as amends for what
may have seemed to be a disregard for oar
friends. We beg pardon, and bespeak for
this firm a liberal patronage.
