Verily, there is much truth in the saying
of the Preacher, “of making many books
there is no end.” A correspondent of the
Boston Journal now writes from New York
that a book of, several hundred pages is now
ready for the press, giving a minute history
of the Woodhall—Bowen—Beecher scandal,
and of all the parties connected withHas
not the public already been bored enough
with this vulgar matter, without being tor
tured now by a book.
We have received the monthly circular of
Henry Clews & Co., Bankers, of Wall St,
New York. The circular represents that there
has been but little change in the last month,
in the general aspect of the Wall St., market
Ease and quiet prevail in all branches.of bus-
iaess, excepting in speculative interests.
The retrospective view is not as satisfacto
ry as might be wished, but the prospective
outlook affords some hope that the results of
the remaindar of the year may compensate
for the%horteomings of the pasta-
jlanterille ptaM.
FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1873.

Ruralizing.
On last Sunday we had the pleasure of ac
companying our fellow citizen Mr. Wm. M.
Moses, oh a visit to the 95th and 96th Dis
tricts in. this county. The day was very
warm,and we traveled rather slowly, but Mr.
M. was an interesting traveling companion,
and we enjoyed the trip finely. Along the
road cotton crops are poorer than they have
been on that road in several years. About
one o’clock wo arrived at Capt. T..Warthen’s.
After dinner we went in company with
Messrs. T. andM. Warthen to see an extra, acre
of cotton, belonging to Mr. T. C. Warthen.
The cotton is very fine. It is of the Simp
son Prolific variety. The acre was highly
manured, and planted in checks three feet
each way with one stalk 'to the hill, and is
very full of forms and fruit. He expects to
make thTee bales from that acre. We return
ed to Capt. T. Warthen’s, and passed the
night under his hospi. able roof. On Mon
day morning we went to look at his gin,
which is arranged to run by water power. It
is a fine arfangement, and is no doubt a great
saving in the way of stock. The stream is
small, but affords enough water to answer
the purpose of running, and there are num
bers of small streams which might be utilized
in a similar manner, if our people would
turn their energy and spirit of enterprise in
that direction. Capt. Warthen showed to us
several small mineral springs, one with
iron, and others have the taste of sulphur,
and saltpetre, &c. We next went to see the
Capt’s grist and saw mills; they are well
arranged and his grist mill makes as nice
meal and flour as we usually see in our
markets. The flour is really excellent.
Capt. W. has one of the Eureka Smut mills,
and it cleans wheat as nice as can be. That is
perhaps the only Smut Mill of that kind in
in :}his oounty. One certain Plus sometimes
since wrote us that there was another mill in
that section which was as good as could be.
Well, we won’t dispute with Plus about it,
but we will say that so far as our personal
observation extends we pronounce Capt. W’s
mill, the ne plus ultra of the county. In the
afternoon of Monday we turned homeward,
and after starting, being in company with
Mr. Alexander Smith, we concluded to go
by Mr. John Wicker’s, and see his fine acre
of cotton. We saw it, and it is fine, indeed.
The weed is about six feet high all over the
patch, it is planted in drills six feet apart,
and the limbs are lapping in the middles.
There is a difference of opinion among those
who have seen them, as to which is the best
acre of cotton, Mr. Wicker’s or Mr. Warthen’s.
They are both very fine, and the writer here,
has never seen any better on any land. If
seasons continue favorable, they will make a
great yield. Go to see them, readers, if you
wish to see some fine cotton. We would like
to give a more exteneded account of our
pleasant visit to the 95th and 96th Districts,
but our space will not admit of it now. Suf
fice it to say that we enjoyed the trip splen
didly.
Area of Land in Cultivation In Washing
ton County, Lire Stock, Ac.
We have been very kindly furnished by
our efficient Tax Receiver with the following
summary statement showing the number of
acres planted, and the number of live stock,
in this county:
Numbeb op Acres.—Com, 45,879; Cotton,
47,798; Wheat, 1,705; Rye, 1,447; Oats, 1,902;
Sweet Potatoes, 750; Sugar Cane, 27; Or
chards, 1,404; Peanuts, 123.
Live Stock.—Sheep, 4,490; Dogs, 2,364;.
Hogs, 14,330; Mules, 2,526; Cattle, 7,290.
The statement speaks for itself. Read it,
planters, and resolve to do better in.. the fu
ture. Why, think of it. Such a great area
in cotton, and yet there are many who will
not be able to meet their liabilities at the
end of the year. There is more land in cot
ton than there is in com and wheat together,
or of com and rye, or of com and oats, yet
either of these is more essential to a living
than cotton. Out of the 101,037 acres enu
merated in the above statement, only about
one hundredth part of them is devoted to
wheat, yet we insist upon eating flour, and
pay, or fail to pay, for it, as the case may be,
by raising cotton, when wheat is less trouble
to work than cotton. And what we say here
of wheat, may also be said of com and other
cereals.
As to live stock, compare the figures.
There are not quite two sheep for every dog,
yet we pay tax on the sheep, and feed about
2,000 worthless dogs for nothing and pay no
tax on them. 4s to the hogs, 50,000 would
not be too large a number for this county.
As to sugar cane, the number of acres here
is simply ridiculous, whan almost every far
mer might make his own syrup. As to
sweet potatoes, almost every man might
double or thribble his present area, and then
not make too many. We hope matters in
this respect will change for the better an
other year.

Tribute to merit.
At a meeting of the Singing School, at
Ohoopee church, August 1st., 1873, on mo
tion of Mr. Moses, J. C. Harman, Esq., was
called to the Chair, and J. R. Daniel request
ed to act as Secretary.
Mr. Harmon opened the meeting with a
few terse and appropriate remarks, and an
nounced the meeting ready for business.
The following resolutions were then unani
mously adopted—
Whereas, From the masterly efforts of our
Teacher, Dr. Wm. Hausek, who with patience
has borne with our short comings, and with
perseverance,has exceeded our mostjsanguine
expectations in teaching us to sing Zion’s
songs, this School desires to tender their
high appreciation of his services. Therefore
Resolved, That the thanks of our School
be, and the same are hereby, tendered to
Dr. Hauser for his uniform courtesy and
strenuous efforts in»our behalf, and that we
shall ever cherish, with iond recollection,
that we are indebted to him for a week of un
alloyed pleasure as well as profit.
Resolved, That in Dr. Hauser we recognize
a master of his profession, and a teacher who
will always give entire satisfaction, and as
such we cordially recommend him.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceed
ings be furnished each of the Sandersville pa
pers, with a request tl at they be published.
A subscription was then token up, which,
added to the previous amount raised,
amounted to the handsome sum of-thirty-five
dollars. After this Dr. Hauser was again
called in, and the proceeds of the subscrip
tion turned over to him in a happy and
pleasant manner, by the Chairman. The
same was accepted by Dr. H. in his usual
brilliant style.
The meeting then pleasantly adjourned.

man Killed for bis Money.
Bartow, Ga., Aug. 6, 1873.
Editors Herald: Mr. Edward White, an un
offending, hard working man, was brutally
murdered last night between 11 and 12
o’clock. The circumstances are as follows:
The house was opened, and the noise at
the door being heard by Mr. White, he got
out of bed to learn the cause, when he was
instantly shot three times, the first shot ta
king effect in the forehead, and he fell dead
ugon^the floor. The last two shots were
fired after he fell, as is supposed, by the shot
cutting only his clothes and going through
the floor. The murderer then called upon
Mrs. White and Mrs. Dorch for Mr. White’s
trunk and money, or he wkrald blow their
brains out. As soon as the trunk was shown
him, he immediately left, oarrying it some
250 yards, where he opened it, got out what
money there was—somo fifteen or twenty
dollars—and then left the trunk and balance
of the contents. =-
The murder and robber is supposed to be a
negro, a small man, wearing No. 6 or 7 shoes.
It is believed that he was alone, as only one
track could be found.
Yours, Ac.,
A. E. Tarver.
Grand Pic-Xic.
Editors Herald: On Friday night, 1st inst.,
■ under a clear and moonlight canopy, I took
the cars at Tennille, No. 13, C. R. R., in
company with a friend from that place, for
the purpose of attending a Good Templar
pic-nic at Bethany, Jefferson county. After
a speedy, but otherwise, a pleasant ride, we
arrived at the 106, and thence wended our
way to Bethany, and spent the remainder of
the night with a clever and accommodating
young friend of ours—Mr. C.—whose kind
hospitalities made our time pass very pleas
antly. After a refreshing sleep, we rose at
early dawn, and took a stroll over the beau
tiful grove nearby. The first object that at
tracted our attention was carts and wagons
coming in from every direction, loaded with
pork, mutton and kid for a barbecue. Messrs.
Editors, of course this added a lustrous an
ticipation to us, in the way of a good dinner.
Nor did we get disappointed.
By the hour erf 10, the crowd had assem
bled. The fair ladies, with their sparkling
eyes, their flowing curls, and graceful forms,
captivated the beholder at a glance.
At half past ten o’clock, the members of
the different lodges in the county retired to
the Academy, and, afteg the transaction of
some business, marched in grand procession
into the church, where Temperance speeches
were made, with the greatest eloquence, by
Rev. O. C. Pope, Mr. Winder Johnson and
Hon. H. V. Johnson, which nothing else
could have been said to strengthen the
cause, they sustained it so ably.
Dinner being announced, the crowd re
paired to the tables, to partake of the feast,
which seemed to shake beneath their bur
densome loads of so many good things, ex
actly what the ladies know how to do in that
community. All got a plenty to eat except
one little man, a visitor from an adjoining
county, who, owing to his extreme smallness,
could not stand a fair showing. He has my
warmest sympathy.
A more pleasant occasion, 1'save the heat,
we have never witnessed. The generous
hearted people around Bethany know full
well how to entertain their guests, and nobly
did they acquit themselves that day. We
are under many obligations to the good peo
ple of Jefferson for our share of the enjoy
ment, especially to the ladies.
Nothing occurred in the least to mar the
pleasures of the occasion.
Our time and space forbids us to say more.
Who wouldn’t be a Templar? God bless
those clever people with every blessing need
ed. Tempi-ar.

On Wednesday, 6th inst., the Board of
Trustees and the subscribers to the Academy
building, met in the Court-room for the pur

Kelley and jointly with his donation. Dr.
J. L Irwin offered to donate two acres near
the Delannoy lot James U. Floyed offered

Fair Ground.
Upon motion t« proceed to an election, the
lot of Mrs. Delannoy, on Smith street, and
the lot of Maj. Brantley, on Church street
and immediately in front of the Christian
church, were also put in nomination.

lows: Floyd lot, 120. Kelly lot, 117; Brant
ley lot, 1031. No election.
Second ballot: Brantley lot, 234}; Floyd
lot, 133. Kelley lot withdrawn. The Brant
ley lot was then made the unanimous choice
of the meeting.
The Trustees were then appointed a build
ing committee with foil power to act in the
promises.
By Col. B, D. Evans—
Resolved, That there Bhall be a provision
incorporated in the Deed to the Academy
lot, that it shall never be sold for the debts
of the Trustees for Teacher’s salary or other
debts of theirs, except only builder’s liens.

Dr. Hatch offered the following, which was
also unanimously adopted—
Whereas, Messrs. James U. Flojfd, Geo.
W. Kelley, sr., Miss Harty Davis and Dr. J.
L Irwin, have generously offered to furnish
a location for the school buildings free of
charge, and whereas, the convention of stock
holders now in session has seen proper to
select another site, therefore be it
Resolved, That the generous offers of the
above named persons are not unappreciated
by this Convention, bat to them are due and
hereby tendered our warmest thanks.

OBITUARY.
Died, on the 25th of July, little Eddie Mat,
son of Richard T. and Sallic V. May, age 7
years and 24 days. He was a child of rare
qualities, wise cud affectionate, like those of
matnrer years. God has taken him while
the heart was pure—while the brow was fair
before the records of evil had gathered there.
“Weep not for the youth dead,
, Sleeping in their lowly bed ;
They are happier than we,
However blest we be.”—Bryant.
Eddie departed while Being was bright and
fair,
While the fountains of feeling were gushing;
Then let him sleep in his lowly bed ;
Let hope be amidst our sorrow ;
There is peace in the night of the early dead:
It will yield to a glorious morrow ;
He will rise like a bud from the glebe of spring,
When the young birds play on the changeful
wings ;
He faded era sin could beguile the breast,
; He will wake in the regions of endless rest.
