fjmdcimttf pfotaM. )AY MORNING, JUNE 27, 1873. The Shah of Persia visited Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle, on the 20th, inst. William Gurney has been appointed Cen tennial Commissioner from South Carolina. A man named Hugh Smith, attempted to swim across the Sehuylkill river at Philadel phia, a few days ago, and was drowned. A Breakman on the Pennsylvania Railroad was crushed to death between two cars on 20th inst. The wet weather in Arkansas is reported as unfavorable to the crops. Rain had fallen every day for a month, up to.the 20th inst. The Mount Vernon Cotton Mills, at Balti more, were burned on the 20th inst. Loss $200,000. The Spanish Government, is still in trouble, ■and there seems to be but little prospect of affairs there assuming a quiet and steady condition soon. Another crisis is threatened by disagreements which occurred in the Cabinet a few days ago. The election managers who took the votes •of women at Canandagua N. Y-, were tried and found guilty of receiving illegal votes. A motion was made for a new trial, but it was refused. They were sentenced to pay a fine of $25 each, and costs of Prosecution—$30. The case of Gasway B. Lamar vs. Albert G. Browne and others, in adition for the conversion of 1800 bales of cotton, valued at $500,000, which the plantiff claims was taken from him in Georgia by defendants in 1865, las been tried in the United States Circuit- Court at Boston and the Court directed a verdict'for defendants,, subject to revision by tho Supreme Court, The Bibb County Agricultural Fair which came off «on the 19th, was pronounced a suc cess. A line display of all sorts of articles was on exhibition. Among other rare (?) things, they had ab'aby show, there were nine entries, and one fat baby took the pre mium, a baby carriage. We dare say there were eight mothers who left there thinking those Judges had very poor judgments. Brother Brewster, of the Cartersville Stand ard & Exprees. cries out lustily for fried chicken and a fence-law. Sorry we can’t serte him in either case, for he seems to be really suffering. That potatoe business (the • hogs got into his potato-patch and did as they always do under such circumstances,) was certainly very provoking. A few such lessons would convert the most obdurate. The Bibb County Fair came off with grand celat at Central City Park last week. Such cabbage, pot*4pj%. beets, etc., were never seen there llfeTore. But unfortunately the people—so it seems—have'nothing to cook with them. Despite the handsome premium offered, but one lone ham ■was on exhibition.— This hung in solitary gradeur, the admired of all admirers. The committee bought it and speak of having it framed and placed • away among the archives of the Society, so as not to forget how a Georgia raised ham looks. A Iriend writing us from Brenham, Texas, uuder date fof the 17th, says : “We have splendid crops in Texas, notwithstanding a backward and wet spring. Corn is now near ly made and cotton in full bloom. I wish you would advise some of the Georgia peo ple to come to this great State, where they can • make more off of one acre than they can there off of three and do it with less labor. In this portion of the State we have splendid water and it is as healty as any country I ever saw. Lands are cheap at this time, but emigrants nre coming in daily and I think that lands will soon be very dear. ” I In reply to our friend we have only to say, that we have not an honest, industrious man to spare, aDd of course he does not want any other sprt. At home, here in Georgia, ‘ ‘the field is ripe unto the harvest, but the labor ers are few.” How it Hoes Good. We are frequently asked “what good do your Granges, Agricultural Societies, etc., do and how is it accomplished?” In many ways (we answer the last question first,) and much of it. They bring planters together and they consult one with another. Ou last Saturday it was our privilege to attend a meeting of this kind of great interest. Some eight or ten planters got off in one corner of the hall and commenced “giving in their ex perience.” Each had something of interest to his fellows to impart. One had something to tell in regard to the value of small grain. Last fall he sowed so many acres—a part of an old field, perhaps—in oats and rye. In De cember he turned his hogs upon it They had scarcely an ear of corn, each, since and were now fat enough to eat. In addition to this, his mules had been turned upon it at night,when not in use and oh Sundays, there by effecting a saving of two-thirds in fodder. But this was not all: his milk-cows had also been grazing upon it. These cows had af forded him an abundance of milk and butter for his own table, and some to send to mar ket. The cost of sowing a mere trifle com pared to the return. The corn and cotton question came up for discussion, and all depricatedthepreseatru- iqous custom of making the provision crop ■oi secondary consideration. In the assembly was one of the oldest and most successful planters of the county, a man noted for his fine crops, superior stock, etc. Addressing him directly,the question was asked: ‘Do you believe it to be the bestpolfcy'to raise our own provisions, to make the plantation feed itself?’ ‘Most assuredly I do ?’ ‘But,’ said a member, ‘a man falls behind, gets in debt, and he is compelled to plant cotton | to catch up.’ ‘Not so,’ responded another of our success- j ful men, ‘the plan is, this: When, froin^ny cause—failure of crop or otherwise—a plan ter finds himself in debt at the end of tho year, let him not think of getting out by sac rificing his corn crib and smoke house, for these should never be neglected on any ac count; fortify well at home first. But in stead of devoting all his energies to cotton, let economy be his constant guide. Let him consider, “what can I and my family do with out this year ? My clothes are somewhat worn, my boots have a patch on them, but I must make them do. ’Twere better so than to have a mortgage upon my property. My wife’s wardrobe is also sadly in need of replenishing, but noble woman that she is, I know she would rather wear old clothes and a hat out of season than that her husband should be in debt” And so throughout let him economize at every point, plant and cul tivate well a full provision crop, then raise all the cotton he can besides, and I teil you gentlemen, that man is bound to come out of debt ?” The argument was so conclusive, and from one, too, who knows whereof he speaks, no one presumed to argue the point with him. We give this as a sample , of some of the good seed that is being soon in these social agricultural meetings. They are already germinating, and ere long will bring forth abundant . fruit The regret is that all our planters do not attend these meetings. From our Washington Correspondent. Washington, D. C., June 15, 1873. Editors Herald: Our National Capital pre sents at present a somewhat deserted aspect, and a few respectable individuals who come under the clause “Hard-up” constitute a quorum for the can’t-get-away Club.” Since the Government has been removed to Long- branch, even the Chiefs of Departments have gone into summer quarters and the whole institution is now run by head clerks of the various departments whose instructions are to be very reticent to newspaper men.— We have to mourn the loss of that terror of the present administration Donn Piatt— who has severed his connection with the “Sunday Capital” and departed on tour to Europe. We are sorely stricken*in his Joss, and so is the Sunday Capital. And upon investigating, we find the cause to be this, Donn has been throwing too many hot shot at the administration and its friends and several of our prominent citizens, who had a money interest in the “capital,” were noti fied that the attacks of that paper^had be come peculiarly obnoxious to- U. S. G-., and that unless they were stopped, the fat jobs which they, the prominent citizen stock holders, enjoyed under the administration, would be-shorn of some of the fair propor tions which they now presented. A con sultation was held and it was determined to change the tone of the Sunday Capital, and to do this—a movement was set on foot to buy out the interest of this awful disrespect- er of the U. S. G., and his friend. This has been accomplished, and the Government breathes freer. We shall miss him, that bold ready pen, that cunning archer whose bolts ever formed a joint in the harness of the administration. Tho Southern claims commission have called a halt to join the balance of our in valid corps at the “cottage by .the sea.” The commission are preparing a list of the claims presented together with the evidence ad duced on each and the list will be extensive ly circulated.among ex-oflicers of the army, 4 and it is thought that by this means, that evidence will be gathered which will offset many of them upon the grounds of disloyal ty. The commission claims that many of the claims presented are fraudulent. The close of the fiscal year which ends with the last day of this month has called together tho usual number of contractors, who have just stepped down to Washington to look after the job of furnishing “the poor Indian” with tho usual amount of Toma hawks and Scalping Knives for desemina- ting the peace policy in tar West. This to gether with the contracts for army and navy supplies forming a rich vein for the |hoddy- ites and affording this much abased class of our countrymen an opportunity to turn an honest penny. Your correspondent has noticed with pleas ure the many complimentary notices of the Herald in our Georgia Exchanges, and think they are fully deserved, by the energy dis played and the devotion to tho interests of the people of the Empire State and the South, which with the’ popular verdict go to show it a live Journal. Yours Index. Hndsonia Craugc.

Editors Herald : Knowing of no more suit able man to represent us in the State Legis lature than Capt. Wm. Warthen, and believ ing that his nomination weuld give the peo ple of the county entire satisfaction, we sug gest him as a suitable candidate to fill the unexpired term of Hon.-W. G. McBride. Many Voters. New Advertisements. OBITUARY. About two hundred and fifty Swedes, ac cording to the Tribune, arrived in New York last week, on their way to Minnesota. The party consisted of men, women and children. Their costume has provoked some criticism, being rather warm for New York at this sea son of the year. The men wore suits of thick, heavy hide, in some cases close fitting. The dress of the women is not described, though it ^presumable they wore flowing robes made of hides too, as’tis said they carried their young children about in leather pouches swung to their hacks. All hands enjoyed the hot sunshine hugely and didn’t seem to perspire a bit. Let them come out here and try one of our cotton patches a few days, and if that don’t bring the “juice” then they are sweat-proof. Jfeekson High School.—The annual com mencement of the above school: located at Stellavillc, Jefferson county,Ga.,will begin on the 13th of July, and continue through the 15th. The following will be the order cf ex ercises : July 13th, Commencement Sermon, by Rev. W. H. Strickland, of Augusta. . July 141h, Annual Examination. At night, Exhibition and Tableaux. July 15th, Reading of Compositions by the young ladies, and Declamation by the young gentlemen. Literary Address by M. P. Car roll, Esq., of Augusta. The public are invited to attend. Dinner on the ground for all, on the 14th and 15th. frhis school is nnder the instruction of Revs. O. C. Pope and E. C. Thomas, as Principals. The occasion promises to be one of much, interest.'" End of Volume I. This being the fifty-second number com pletes Volume No. 1 of the Saxdekcville Herald. Without boasting we can say of a truth, but few papers in the South have grown more rapidly in public favor. Our circula tion is now eighty-three quires per week, and increasing contiually. The advertising pat ronage speaks for itself. We say this with a heart overflowing with gratitude io the great- dispenser of every good, and to a noble and generons public. Friends all, most sincerely do we thank von for what you have done for us. In return we hope to do you and your children some good. To brighten the hearth stone, aid in the promotion of virtue and the building up of the waste plaGes of the land, is our ambition. It is our purpose at no distant day to in crease the size of the Herald. In fact to add to it continually every attraction within our power. We have set our mark high, and hope to resell it by honest industry, a close application to business and the blessings of Providence. In our advertising columns—and of course elsewhere—nothing is permitted to appear that is not suitable to be read by all. Foreign Advertising Agents, with their hum- buggery .and “grand discoveries by good old men” just about to retire to another world, and anxious to leave a great secret behind, find a place only in our waste-box. Several columns—perhaps enough to fill a page of the Herald—repose there now. But enough on that subject. Again thanking the public for their great kindness to us and soliciting a continuation of their favors, we close Volume I. It is said that “misery loves company,” and ,we confess to a felling akin to somthiog of the kind upon reading the paragraph below from brother Waterman, of the LaGrange Re porter. Concluding that we would like- to have a taste of butter one time more on Sun day morning, we institued a general search throughout the business portion of the ‘city on Saturday night last. We didn’t have any butter for breakfast Sunday morning. But here is what Waterman says: This is one of the finest countries in the world for grazing. The grass grows luxuri antly, and the whole surface of tire ground is covered with a rich green carpet; and yet not a pound of butter can be bad in La- Grange, just now for love or money. The truth is we haven’t time to make butter or attend to cows. We must make cotton to pay back the money we borrowed to make it with. The Index & Babtist.—The last number of this excellent journal contains the Saluta tory of the new firm, Messrs. James P. Har rison & Co., and “Words of Reunion,” from the Editor-in-Chief, Rev. Dr. Shaver. As a Baptist the writer can but feel proud that the organ of his church has fallen into such hands. And we say this without detracting in the least from the merits of the late wor thy and competent Proprietor. But we know Jemmie Harrison, know well; know his heart, his pure integrity and his thorough competency for the position he occupies.— When the writer was a youth and Jemmie a little bo^r, residing in good old Miliegeville, Jemmie was in our Sabbath School class.— How well do we remember it now, and how pleasant is the memory. ’Twas there we learned to know his heart so well, and we say to you Baptist of Georgia, you have got the right man in the right place. All you have to do is to hold up his hands, and, aid ed as he is by such able associates, be will give you a paper second to no religious jour- al on the continent. When it was announced some months ago that Dr. Shaver was about to retire from the editorial chair of the Index, there was a gen eral murmur of dissatisfaction throughout the church. Dr. Shaver is again in his old place, and now-let every Baptist work to sustain the paper and keep him there. I/ettcr from Cmauucl. Editors Herald: It would, no doubt, he of some interest to your numerous readers to know what is going on down in the tall pine regions, I therefore take this method to inform them. Our crops, especially corn, sugar bane and potatoes, are as good and I believe the best that we have ever had at this season of the year. You know, Messrs. Editors, that we are not much here on cotton, though what we do plant is usually cultivated well and produces finely. Our motto is hog and horn- inv, and if the rains continue a little while longer the like of com was'never before seen in this section of Georgia. Our oats crop has been harvested and is what might be considered good, they did not grow so very tall in consequence of a dry spell we had in April, though I think they were as well fruited as I ever them. Our custom here is to plant in the fall, say from the middle of September to the middle of November, and we sometimes get them, what we call here, winter killed to some extent, and last win ter being an unusually severe winter, a great many had their oats killed out and conse quently were left too thin to make a full crop, but where they had a stand left it was fine. In making oats in this country there is one thing always to be observed, that is the oats must stand thick enough on the land so as to take possession of it and keep the weeds choked out; if we don’t sow seed thick enough, or if they get winter killed, the weeds get possession of the land and crowd the oats, and the consequence is the oats is a failure, but if the land is made rich enough and the oats stand right (that is the Mexican oats) there will be ten good crops made to one failure, I have yet to see the first failure. I have said thus much on the oats crop from the fact, that it is undoubt edly the best paying crop we make. Cotton in this locality is looking tolerably, well where the grass has not taken it, but oh, the grass ! go where you will and there it is, talk to who you will and that’s the talk. It is truly an unpleasant, though much talk ed of subject in this country. The health of the country is only tolera ble. Some measles amongst the people, and the extreme hot weather, that we have been having for a short time hack, is beginning to develop dysintery and some few cases of bilious remittent fever, especially on the rivers. Leon. June 20th 1873. j,Cocnty and DisTSiqr Committeemen.—Coi. T. J. Smith, President of the Washington county Agricultural Society, has appointed thejfollowing gentlemena Committee to solicit contributions of articles, etc., for exhibition at the approaching State Fair, and also to do what they can for the County Fair in July.

His sufferings were protracted and severe, to such a degree, that, when the an gels came and took him away, the clouds of sorrow which gathered over anguished hearts gleamed with the “silver lining” joy spread beneath their blackness. Wilmer was a love ly, promising cbikl -the idol of parental hearts and the kin-circle. So gentle, so love ly in p-.i son and character, so sprightly, so charming with his smiles and pratlings— how could they but love him ? But Jesus loved him better—had the best right to him—a claim sealed with His own blood—so He took him. “I take th«ae little lambs, said be, And lay them in my breast; Protection they shall find in me, In me be ever blest.” The home is so lonely! No Wilmer there There stands the empty cradle, lifted sadly into the corner! The light foot-falls are hush ed! Rachel weeps in the sad solitariness of a heart bereaved and bleeding! But thank God! the sentiment above, so sweetly true, hears us upon “wings of light” up to our Father’s house; there safely sheltered for ever wo find “our loved and lost.” Comforted by such a vision, no wonder that weeping mother, on that sad burial day, turning her tear-bedimmed gaze for the last time upon her sleeping child, could say “Tlre Lord gav| and the Lord Tiath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” O who, there that day, will forget that mother’s appeal, that mother’s prayer utter ed amid those silent habitations of the dead ? Will those young men and maidens ? Will those fathers and mothers ? Will that ven erable grand parent, “so kind, yet so uncon cerned?” Who of that warned and weep ing throng will fail to meet little TFxlmeb Lee in Heaven ? Nathan Renfro:: was horn in Washington county, Ga., on the 19th of December, 1797, and died in Sandersville on the 11th of June, 1873, being in the 76th year of his age. In the short space usually allotted to obit uary notices, it is impossible to do justice to the memory of one of so much merit. Here he was born, here he lived for near seventy- six years,and reared a large family of children who reflect honor upon his name. He now sweetly sleeps in his native soil, while his memory is enshrined in the hearts of his county-men. As a eitizenffie was one of the batf; quiet, inoffensive, useful. Whatever he ala he did it well. In.his dealings with his fellow-men he was the soul of honor: wronging no one, bnt dealing justly by all. As a neighbor none could be better; as a friend he was true as steel, ever the same, kind, accommodating almost to a fault. Years ago he united with the Methodist church, and ever after lived a consistent member thereof. His Bible was his guide, his daily counselor. A few days ago the writer had the pleasure of looking over the preciou^volume,that was . used by this "good old man. The well thumbed pages showed bow carefully it bad been studied.— During a great portion of the last nine months of his life, he suffered excruciatingly, his form wasting away beneath the ravages of an incurable disease; yet he was never heard to murmur, but patiently bore his afflictions until death finally releaved him of his suf ferings. Often was he heard ‘talking with his God’ and communing with'his Heavenly Father. He is now basking in the sun-light of that Father’s love, free from pain, enjoy ing the sweet rest prepared for the people of God. M. Died at Linton, on the 15th, inst. Francis Eugene, infant son of Francis, and Frances, Eugenia Strange, agedl7 months and 5 days. Dear little Frankie was a beautiful, intelli gent child, but back yonder in his native Heaven from "which God permitted him to stray for a brief while 'to gladden the sad heart of his sorely bereaved father, he is far more beautiful in the fadeless charms of his radiant angel spirit. It seems but a little while since Frankie’s sainted mother taking the cherub wanderer from the azure fields of light, *gave it to her heart broken husband for a stay and comfort in her absence, went herself to fill with her redeemed and glorified spirit, its place in the shadowless land, where with loving ten derness in the clearness”of immortal vision she could watch over both her loved ones ; but the way was long and dark and beset with so much evil, and the young heart was so pure, the dear little feet so tender, the seraph spirit is much better fitted for its own native Heaven than for earth, that God in His in finite mercy and wisdom called back the lit tle wanderer to its mother and Heaven. Thus has a little family of three in a few months been transfered, one by one to the better land until but one remains, and he, knowing his loved ones cannot return to him, is “only waiting till the shadows are a lttle longer grown” to join them in the beautiful city of our God. Deed, at the residence of Mrs. Bachel May, in Washington county,on the 19th June,1873, Mrs. Elizabeth Beckuji. She was supposed to be about seventy-five years of age. For many years prior to her death she had been a pious member of the M.

Sandersville, June 27,1873—It The Cholera in Nashville.—The Atlanta Constitution, of Sunday, says: The senior editor of the Constitu tion passed through Nashville last Friday. He says that the half is uot known. The courts, schools, banks, and nearly every other place of business, are closed. Silence, disease and death, reign supreme in the once happy and prosperous city. Not less than 15,000 people have fled from its fatal precincts, and the rest are going as fast as they can obtain transportation. President Grant made a short visit to Wash ington a few days ago, and held a Cabinet meeting, then returned to his “home by the deep heaving sea.” Save! Save!! Save!!! Labor! Time! Wood! Soap!
