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. r v ■W 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. J. C. HARMAN, Chairman J. R. Daniel, Secretary, A delegatiou of Meunonites, a religious ict in 4he Southern park of Prussia recently :e a trip over the Northern Pacific Rail road and they are in favor of settling on that line of road. They number al>6ut forty thou sand, and propose to immigrate to this coun try ip order..to avoid military service, which is forbiddep by their tenets. 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. Public Meeting;. On Wednesday, 6th inst., the Board of Trustees and the subscribers to the Academy building, met in the Court-room for the pur pose of selecting a site for said building. President C. R. Pringle explained the ob ject of the meeting, when CoL B. D. Evans offered the following, which was unanimous ly adopted: Whereas, Underthe resolution of the Board of Trustees, every $10 in money and notes due the 1st November, entitles the subscriber to one vote, and whereas, there are a few sub scribers who have not yet given their notes— Resolved, That all parties present not hav ing given their notes are invited to report to M. Newman, Esq., who has offered and been appointed to act in that capacity. Resolved, That a majority of the whole number of votes subscribed will be necessary to a choice in making a selection for the lo cation of the proposed building. Upon a call of the roll'seven subscribers were found to be absent. A motion was adopted to allow subscribers to vote by proxy, and a committee appointed to examine all proxies. Proposals for lots were recieved as follows: George W. Kelly, sr., offered to donate a lot of two acres at’the head or Harris street, near residence of Mrs. Brown; Miss H Da vis offered to donate one acre adjoining Mr. Kelley and jointly with his donation. Dr. J. L Irwin offered to donate two acres near the Delannoy lot James U. Floyed offered to donate four acres on Floyd street^, near 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. Upon the first ballot the vote stood as fol 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. Adopted unanimously. 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.

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.
