MARRIED,
In Jefferson county, on the loth inst., by
the Rev. Henry W. Murphy, Mr. John M.
Chance and Miss Hattie E. Smith, aUof
Jefferson.
FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1873.
OBITUARY.
Patience H. Stapleton, daughter of the
late Dennis Cason and Sarah Cason, and wife
of William J. Stapleton, of Washington coun
ty, Ga., was born October 6th, 1842, married
September 1st, 1870, and died June 21st,
1873.
About nine years ago she united with the
Baptist church, and was happily converted
to God. She was the mother -of three chil
dren, all of which she lived to see consigned
to the arms of that Lord whom she had so
long revered. Having fixed her fieart upon
the “Rock’” she took the bible, and “give us
this day our daily bread” for her theme. Her
life, in her daily vocation, was in accordance
with the many and fervent prayers that as
cended to Heaven. As a mother, sister and
companion, her virtues and excellencies are
only left to be cherished and remembered.
Conscious to the last, thus, was a scene of
Christian triumph, for many 'were the man
ifestations of complete victory over death
and the grave. Often did she refer to the
premature death that awaited her, and speak
with implicit faith, of the bliss she should
enjoy in another and better world. She had
words of affection and tenderness for all who
surrounded her; and while dying, with a
calm and placid brow, 6eemed to recognize
the ministering angels that hovered around.
The vital spark did not cease until she had
communicated this dying request to her de
voted husband: “Prepare to meet me in
heaven,” and ns her anxious friends hung
round, to catch her last accents, she sweetly
breathed her- spirit into the bosom of her
Father and her God. A Fbiend.
A fire recently occurred on the wharf at
Portland, Maine, and several steamers were

Miss Florence A Mattoon, and Charles J.

zenavia lake, in New York, in the afternoon
•of the 9th, inst and the boat capsized, and

The first bale of new cotton raised in Geor
gia this year was received in Savannah on the

dall, Daffin& Co., they being the highest
bidders.
A boat race is to be rowed at Halifax on
the 28th, of August, between John A Biglew

The articles of agreement for the race have
been signed by the parties, with one thou

The Commencement of the Georgia Uni
versity came off last week. It is reported as
having been an occasion of unusual interest,
and a great many people were in attendance.
Mr. Pou, of Madison was the successful
contestant for the prize Medeal for Declama
tion in ithe Sophomore class. Dr. Lipscomb
has resigned the Chancellorship, to go into
effect at the next Coinmencemeut.
Hereafter recitations will be heard on Sat
urday as on other days of the week.
We are very sorry to learn that Mr. John
Giles,a conductor ou the Southwestern R. B.,
was severely cut, near Macou a few days ago,
by a man named Whalen. Mr. Giles is a
native of this couuty aud a brother of our
fellow-citizen N. B. Giles. At last accounts,
he was getting ou as well as could be expect
ed under the circumstances, and it was
thought he would be out in a short time,
which we are glad to hear.
We call attention to the communication
in this issue from “Civis.” It shows that
there is something not exactly clear in the
matter concerning the School funds which
are due this county. We are not yet willing
to believe that Treasurer Jones or Commis
sioner Orr are endeavoring to impose npon
us, and defraud the teachers of public
schools, hut as there seems to be something
a ; little dark in the matter, we desire to call
their attention to it, and we think an ex
planation will do no harm.
Some important changes have recently
been made the cabinet of.the British Govern
ment. A New York Herald special telegram,
dated London, August 7th, states that a cab
inet council was held on that evening, and a
discussion was entered into, which resulted
in the important changes in the ministry.
The Marquis of Bipon, Childers, and Bax
ter had resigned, the two first for private
reasons.
Mr. Gladstone, who is the Premier, has, in
addition to this, been made Chancellor of
the exchequer, in place of Lowe, who as
sumes the Home office. Mr. Bruce is to be
made a peer,, and will be the successor of
Lord Ripon as President of the Council. Mr.
Bonham Carter will be successor to Mr.
Baxter as Joint Secretary of the Treasury.
Some other changes have been made, and
still others arc expected to be made in a few
days.
A gentleman of a neighboring county, who
was on a visit to this city last week, was
pleased to remark in our presence that he
, saw more of the spirit of improvement, more
enterprise, in this county than any other sec
tion within his knowledge. Thank yon,
neighbor; that’s the way we like to hear yon
talk. Our people are waking up, though not
folly aroused yet They have yet to learn
how to avoid the financial dearth through
which they pass from March to September—
the starvation season—when every body is
out of money. The good work is advancing
however, and we devoutly hope the day is
not far distant when empty corn cribs, mort
gages and liens will be unknown in Washing-
s v ton county.
To the Georgia Press.
In order that onr brethren of the Press who
favor our movement for a National Press As
sociation may learn, how the matter is pro
gressing, we print the following:
Office of The “Clinton Age” )
Clinton, Iowa July 22d, 1873. f
Robebt L. Rodgers Esq., Cham’ Com.
Sandebsville, Ga.,
My Dear Sir:—Your circular is at hand.
The Iowa Press Association, through its offi
cers, will join your State in the organization
suggested. Iowa will be pleased to be rep
resented at any meeting called for tho pur
pose of forming a Natinal Press Association.
The idea is a gooebono, and I hope the mat
ter will not die out with words.
Yours with Respect,
Edward H. Thayer,
President Iowa State Press Association.
Numerous letters have also been received
from prominent journalists in other States
and Territories heartily endorsing the move
ment, and agreeing to co-operate with us in
forming such an Association. This is a
movement of some importance, in which
the Georgia Press has taken the initiative
step, and let us see to it that the matter does
not “die out with words.” It is but in em
bryo as yet, but there is no doubt about its
being a success, if we only push on in the
matter, notwithstanding the trifling objec
tions made by some who pretend to see a great
bugbear in the matter, as the restoration of
the franking privilege, dead-headism, &c.
Now this movement contemplates no such
thing, and they ought to know it. But it is
constitutional for some people not to see fur
ther than the end of their nose, and they
can be terribly frightened by a shadow.
But we expect to have a National Press
Association; we will then discuss matters
pertaining to the interests of the Press, of
the country, and the people, and there is no
use now of any man contending against it.
The Association will be organized, and we
expect to do all we can to give it proper dic
tion.
Since writing the above several other res
ponses have been received, favoring a Nation
al Association, and among them a letter
from the President of the Indiana Press As
sociation, who heartily sanctions the move
ment for a National Association.
Annual l’ic-.\ic at Davisboro.
On last Thursday, the 7th inst. a grand
Pic-ni o was given at Davisboro, by the citi
zens of that community, and it was an in
teresting time indeed. In onr local last week,
in referring to the Pic-nic, our Senior intend
ed to say of ns 1 ‘if he survived the magnifi
cent feast” we would give an account of the
aftair this week, but the intelligent composi
tor would mrkc it “serve.” Well, we did
survive the feast, hut notwithstanding we
think we did ample justice to it, for we fared
splendidly. We only wish that wc were as
able with our pen now to delineate the pro
ceedings of the day, with vividness to the
mind and understanding of others as we
were able to enjoy and appreciate them our
self. About eight or nine o’clock in the fore
noon, the crowd began to assemble in the
shade of the spreading trees, near the stream
which flows close by. The committee of ar- j
rangements had prepared a large platform, j
for the accommodation of those who felt dis
posed to participate in Terpsichorean amuse
ments. About eleven the music was com
menced on violins, and in a little while the
gallant young men present had taken part
ners for a cotillion. A considerable number
of the beautiful young ladies of Washington
and Jefferson counties greatly enhanced the
pleasures of the day by their presence, and
gave zest to tho occassion. As we stood by
and observed the merry dancers flitting be
fore us in the mazy quadrille, our mind ran
back to similar enjoyments of onr own in
earlier years, which now pass before ns like-
gossamer npon a gentle autumn breeze.
About one o’clock of the day dinner was
announced, and all repaired to to long table
which had been set under the large oaks near
by. There was a plentiful supply of good
things to eat which the excellent matrons
and fair maidens had prepared for the occas
ion. There was nice barbecue, cakes, and
other meats and breads and nice things,
enough for all. The day was one of those
pleasant neighborhood meetings, social and
festal in its character, and for the excellence
of which,*the.community around Davisboro
is especially noted.
It was a time of happy recreation, when the
cares of monotonous -every day business were
cast off for a day of rest and recuperation.
It was refreshing to the social sentiments of
the community, when neighbors could all
unite with one common purpose to spend the
day togethor in pleasing conversations, and
to enjoy the social amenities of life. It was
really a delectable day; one which, in after
years, when we may possibly he surrounded
by other friends, and other scenes and cir
cumstances, may afford some of ns who at
tended there a happy reflection as being one
of the white stone days of our lives. Wc
wish that those clever people around Davis
boro may live to have many more such hap
py days, and before we close this, we take the
occassion to return onr heartiest thanks to
the good citizens there for their kind solici
tations given to ns to attend the Pic-nic, and
we feel greatly indebted to them for our
pleasure on that day. The good people around
there have onr best wishes. May they live
long, prosper and be happy.

Letter from Lumber City.
Lumber Cot, Ga., August 1, 1873.
Mitors Herald: On the morning of the 22d
of July the writer awoke from the slumbers
of the previous night in the little town of
Dublin. Beautiful was the dawn of that
morning; all nature seemed, to be pouring
over the inhabitants her blandest smiles, and
the citizens too seemed delighted not only
with the beauties of the day, but the inspir
ing influences of Prof. Sanders’ examination
and exhibition which had been set apart for
that day. Accordingly at 8 o'clock the stu
dents of the Male and Female Academy wore
summoned at the ringing of the bell into the
scliool room by tlieir Principal* Prof. Sanders,
and class after class called and examined,
not only to the entire satisfaction of all pres
ent, that they had been well instructed and
ther time diligently applied, but to such an
extent that it almost became a bore to the
spectators, (to witness that the stndents were
actually beingimposed upon.)They, however,
took it very kindly, and as hundreds of the
most difficult questions that could be selec
ted from their different branches of stndy
were propounded, they answered them all
with precision and promptness. After the
day passed off with results so pleasing as to
the examination, the evening opened with
the compositions, speeches, Ac., and the stu
dents continued to reflect credit upon them
selves and instructors. The writer can only
add, that taking all in all, he never has seen
the good results of a good thing more clearly
demonstrated. ’Tis with actual pain he
forgoes a description in full of the entire pro
ceedings of the day, and must insist that
nothing but incompetency to do full justice
to the occasion, has caused him to withhold.
If he were thoroughly competent he would
snrely feel a pride in the privilege he now
enjoys. He could then do full justice to the
interest taken to propagate the common good
of that community, by the Principal of their
school. He could then do full justice to the
parents of those stndents, who are putting
forth every energy and straining every nerve
' to “bring them up in the way they should
go.” He could further do justice to the evi
dences given by the students, that they have
cultivated every means in their power to pro
pagate and improve their minds under the
facilities extended to them by their parents
and instructor. But then will all be made
clear enough to all who will patronize the
school next term.
After spendiug a few more pleasant days
in the town of Dublin, the writer set out on
the morning of the 26th ult, to attend the
Methodist District meeting in Irwinton, where
he arrived about ten o’clock in the evening
of the same day. He found the hospitalities
of the town extended to its guests (which
were almost innumerable,) and when he says
hospitalities and extended, he means hospi
talities and extended in every sense of the
word, s The writer had the good fortune to
stop during his stay, with the family of Mr.
Baum, where he was treated in snch a man
ner as will ever cause him kindly to remem
ber the polite and courteous lady and her
household.
On Sunday morning the 27th, the sun rose
beautifully ,with not one cloud to cast a shad
ow over the brightness of the day. At ten
o’clock the citizens of the town, together
with their guests, were summoned by the
ringing of the bell, to the church house, to
participate in that delightful service, so em
inently known to the Methodist denomina
tion, as “Love Feast.”
After a number of the good old brethren
had related some of their religious experience,
and the object of the meeting had been ele
gantly accomplished, Bishop Pierce appeared
before the congregation, and in his profound
manner delivered one of his grand pulpit
orations. The services were kept up until
Monday evening, when it was announced
that the meeting was closed.
The writer saw many things in this grand
little picturesque town to admire; its situa
tion and locality is sublime to those who have
been reared in the low country. But there
is perhaps nothing in this place that will so
readily attract the “undivided attention” of
a young man, than its yo)ing ladies. They
are almost innumerable, and in every sense
of the word, attractive. Well could it be
said that “there is not for the earth a lovlier
vision, there is not for the skies a more an
gelic candidate than a beautiful young mai
den robed in chastity.”
On Monday evening the 28th, the writer
took the Central train for Macon, where lie
arrived at 104 o’clock, and spent the night
very pleasantly with a friend at the “Brown
House.” From Jfacon he came on theBrnns-
wick train to this place.
Very Respectfully,
Jacobus.
Sharp Practice of a State Officer.
Editors Herald : A recent Circular from the
State School Commissioner of Georgia, in
forms the County School Commissioners, that
the Apportionment of School funds for their
respective counties, for the present year, is
now in the State Treasury and ready for dis
tribution.
This same Circular informs the county
School Commissioners, that Mr. E. Orr, son
of the State School Commissioner, and a
member of the Law firm of Orr A Lewis, at
Atlanta, from the benevolence of his heart,
and for the purpose of saving the County
School Commissioners any unnecessary ex
penses, will collect from the State Treasury,
the amounts dne to the different counties
and forward by Express to them, for the
small fee of fifty cents per each five hun
dred dollars collected, npon their giving to
him a Power of Attorney, and pay the ex
press charges on the money remitted. So
far so good.
Now for the bit of sharp practice. The
School Commissioner of this county, having
availed himself, of the apparently liberal of
fer of Mr. E. Orr, sent him a Power of At
torney, to collect and forward to him $3148.-
68 cents.
Under date of August 9th, 1873, he is in
formed by Messrs. Orr & Lewis, that “the
State Treasurer will only pay the School
'fund in Central Railroad Fare Bills," (a de
preciated currency in Atlanta) “and they
wont to know whether he (the County Com
missioner) will receive it- in that currency,
and if he will not take the whole of it, what
amount he wilL”
Now, Washington county, like every other
county in the State, has. -paid her State Tax
in “good and lawful money,” snch as U. S.
currency and National Bank Bills, and it is
rather perplexing to learn, that the State
Treasurer, should want to palm off a depre
ciated currency, or rather Rail Road Fare
Tickets, upon the Teachers of the State,
whose hard earnings to many of them, is the
small pittance allowed by the State.
Has Bollock-ism so permeated some of
her State officials (even Democrats, so called)
that they con not execute a simple money
transaction without its having the taint of
swindling and corruption about it ?
