little thought of. Rands could, very readily
be bought for from fifty cents to one dollar
per acre; and to-day‘they would be considered’
b'argainsjTtt five dollars. The farmers, as a
general rule, are a self sustaining and money
making class, and are certainly making rapid
stridca in developing the vast importance of
this clags of lands. Besides, millions of
money-ore yet-to be realized from the vast
quantities of the best pine timbers abound
ing in all this section of country.
But te proceed. We arrived and. entered
the court-room, just in time to hear the earn
est and decidedly impressive charge of his
Honor, Judge Johnson, to the Grand Jury.
In our liamble judgment, this was the most
impressive charge the writer ever heard de ;
li'vered, and if a grand jury after having
such an earnest apppal made for a joint co
operation to sustain law and order and fer
ret out-crimes, dp not do their whole duty,
they ought to. His Honor was very pointed
in his charge against gaming, carrying con'- j
cealed weapons, disturbing public worship, j
vagrancy, and selling liquor to persons while '
intoxicated, ■ earnestly appealing to the;
Grand Jury, as honest men and good citi
zens, to assist Mm" in the preservation of j
law and order. He .'is repnted to be very-
strict in his administration of justice to the ;
violators of law, causing- criminals to fear;
while the hearts of all good citizens are with J
him, knowing that a .prompt .administration I
of justice, will tend to * general reformation j
in society. We believe that the Judge is !
more highly appreciated every where on ac- ;
count of his decked determination to do j
Ms whole duty. We find in attendance up :
on this court quite a largo number of attor- ;
neys from other counties. .Among whom 1

Dear Herald.—Allow me a few words in
yonr next issue, in. regard to the farming in
terests in these parts".' The farmers art about
done planting corn; and are hastily prepar
ing cotton land, and putting out gnjino; they
are using it heavily this'year. Freedmsn are
working finely so far ; I know of none that
left last Christmas to gd West. There are a
good many around here, and they are com
pilable, and everything goes on smoothly.
We have had some very hard, eold weather a
few days ago,; but I do not think it did any
damage to the fruit. >.
We hope lor a bountiful,year in corn-and
cotton, and a good price too, but it is not of
ten the case that a man wants three,
things, and gets them at one time ; he is sure
to miss one of them,

•M.4.:y'XbfeLLA Blount,’infant daughtsir of
.Jacob N. Blount, of Johnson 'County,-Go.,
-lie.i pijPneumonia on tue29th day of March,
1873, agedone year, two months and eleven
days.’ Adelia was a fine child, possessed,
with an unusually intellectual mind 1’or one
ofher age, and was on^.of the most enection-
ate nhild^en Lever srWj She seldom knew
anger, for she was the bestchild X have ever
known, and all that knew her could but love
the child. But an' Allwiss Providence saw
fit to take" her to Himself, and leave her pa
rents to mourn their loss. She wa's their on
ly daughter, and with all her loveliness she
was one of the’most bcantifnl children, said
by many,’ that they over saw. But she is
gone to share the full glory of the upper
world; for God said ‘ ‘suffer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven.” Weep not
father, weep not mother; she is out of pain,
out of trouble; out of affliction, and basking
in-the sunshine of immortal,glory. Yes, she
is one of the greatest-in the kingdom of heav
en. For God said to his desciples that little
were the greatest in heaven. The poet said
that God. would give them hands to do His will
and tongues to sing-His praise. The poet said,
also, that God would take these little lambs
in his arms and they receive the smiling grace.
Farewell, Adelia, until the resureetion
morn, when you and your uncle who sleeps
close by your side, will come forth to meet
yonr Lord in the air, there to praise Him in
the skies in strains of. sweetest music on
h.irps of gold, prepared for you by your Fa
ther in heaven. O, how. charming are the
glories of that world, no tongue can tell. If
AdcUa could come back and tell father and
mother how gloriously happy, slie v/as, no
doubt she would tell them to be sure to meet
her in heaven. But she cannot come back;
therefore she wait3 to be a guardian angel
to lather and mother when they ore dying, to
escort them to the heaven and home of all
the faithful.
God bless dear Adelia.' Farewell little
saint. I’ll see yoji no more on earth, but by
and by we’ll meet again to part no more.—
Weepfrbt, fondparents; she is not dead, but
sleepeth. You'will see her again, and know
her too; for we arenot to loose our friends in
heaven, bnt we are the more to enjoy them
there.- Yes, father,- mother, you have one
str-ng tie in that world of glorious happi
ness. Go-on, press forward, ba fiiithful unto
death,and you Will meet year.darling child
in heaven, -where pneumopia, ond-dcath,and
separation-, and troubles'are known.no more.
- Death.may the bonds of life unloose,
But can’t dfissoivs my lpve; .
Millions 6f infhnt souls compose
i-v ' The family abbve.’ --
