The first Baptist iu Georgia of
which there is any history, was
Nicholas Begewood, in 1767. He
was employed as au agent of Whit«-

The first Baptist church organized in
Georgia was in 1772,Kiokee Meeting
House, the B| ot on which Appling,
in Columbia county, now Btanas, un
der tho ministry of Rev. Daniel
Marshall, who was then the only or
dained Baptist minister iu Georgia.
Thus it will be seen what rapid
progress the church has made in the
last century.
The doctrines of the Methodist
Episcopal church South were first
introduced in Georgia by John Wes
ley iu 1736, when he commenced
preaching in /Savannah. He was
followed by George Whitefield in
1738. The first Methodist church
organized in Georgia was about
1736. The Rev. Thomas Humph
ries and John Majors preached on a
circuit extendiug from Savannah to
Wilkes county. They reported 460
members in Georgia in 1786.
In 1866 tbo Georgia Confer
ence was divided into the North aud
tho South Georgia conferences. At
the time of the division there were
in Georgia 216 itinerant ministers
and 61,219 white members.
Iu 1875tho North Georgia Confer-
hud 643 church buildings capable of
seating 171,000 persons ; itinerant
preachers, 168 ; local preachers, 426;
number of members, 63,764.
The South Georgia Conference
had 406 church buildings capable of
seating 98,167 persons ; itinerant
preachers 123 ; local preachers,221 ;
number of members 29,304,
The first Presbyterian church was
organized in Georgia as early as
1736, The Synod embraces five
Presbyterians, and extends all over
the State. There are 74 ministers,
8 licentiates, 8 candidates, 143
churches, 136 church edifices, 61,610

The Farmerriiu his Moitoy.
King Frederick, of Prussia, when
he was out riding one day, saw an
>1<
old farmer who was plowing his
field and singing cheerfully over his
work.
“You must be well off, old man,”
cried the King.
“Does this acre belong to you, on
which you so industriously labor?’’
“No sir replied the man, who of
course had no idea that he was
speaking to tk.) king; “1 am not so
rich as that.
I plow for wages.”
“How much do you earn each day?’’
asked the king.
“Eight groschen,’’ returned the
That would b e about twenty
cents of our money.
“That is very little said tho king.
“Can you get along with it?”
“Get along yes, indeed, audjl have
something left.” ' ‘ -* v
“How ever do you manage?’’
“Well, said the farmer smiling,
“I will tell you.
Two groschen are fot-tnyself and
wife with twoil pay my old debts,
two I give away for the Lord’s
sake.”
“This is a mystery which I can
not solve,” said the king.
“Then I must solve it for you,”
said the farmer.
“I have two old parents, at home
who kept me and cared for mo when
I was young and weak, and needed
caro.
Now that they are old and weak
I am glad to keep and care for them.
This is my debt, and in takes two
groschen a day to pay it.

Of course 1 am not compelled to
give them the money, but 1 do it for

“Well done, old man,” cried the
king as he finished; “now I am
going to giveyou something to
guess.
Have you ever seen me before?”
“No,’, said the farmer.
“In less than five minutes you

his hand in his pocket, and pulling
out fifty gold pieces, placed them in
the hand of the faamer.
“The coin is genuine,” said the
king, “for it alas comes from our

I bid you good-bye.”
And he rode off, leaving the good
man overwhelmed with surprise and
delight at the singular interview.—

this State gave to the country one
of the bravest and most chivalrous
soldiers that ever drew a sword on
any battle-field or poured out his
blood freely iu defence of his flag.
That officer was tho lamented Ma

Walker, who fell iutlie bloody “Bat

was gallautly leading his Confeder

and at one time left for dead on the

his immenso will power, he recover

by whom he had been presented
with a "sword of honor” for his
“galluutry iu Florida and Mexico.”
General Walker was “every inch a

A Strange Tradition.
Among the Seminole Indian there
is a singular tradition regarding the
white man’s origin and superiority.
They say when the Great Spirit made
the earth he also made three men,
all of whom were fair complexioned,
and that after making them he led
them to the margin of a small lake,
and bade them leap in and wash.
One obeyed, and came out purer and
fairer than before, tbo second hesita
ted a momeut, during which time
the water agitated by the first, had
become maadied, and when he bath
ed, he came up copper-colored ; the
third did not leap until the water be
came black with mud, and he came
out with his own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three
packages, and out of pity for his
misfortunes in color, gave the black
man the first choice. He took hold
of tho three packages, and having
felt the weight chose the heaviest,
the copper-colored man chose the
next heaviest, leaving tho white man
the lightest. When the packages
were opened the first was found to
contain spades, hoeB and all the im
plements of labor, the second un
wrapped hunting, fishing, and war
like apparatus, the thirefgavoto the
white man pens, inks, and paper,
the engine of the mind—the means
of natural, mental improvement, the
social link of humanity, the founda
tion of the white mams superiority.
Tragedy in North Georgia.
The Dalton Citizen relates the
following: “Quite a startling tragedy
we hear, occurred in the neighbor
hood of Tryon factory one night
lust week A man went there with
a load of cotton, which he sold for
money, several hundred dollars. Ou
his return home he camped for the
night within a mile or two of the
factory, and just before retiring to
his impromptu bed in the wagon, a
large, coarse looking woman came
up and asked if she could warm at
the fire. Permission was given, and
soon after the man went to bed in
the wagon; but before going to sleep
his little son and a negro Doy, who
were left sitting around the * camp
fire, discovered that the supposed
woman had on a man’s boots and
E rnnts, and the son went and told
lis father of the fact,which aroused
his suspicions and put him on the
alert. After some little time had
expired, the booted woman, suppos-
the man and little boy were asleep,
blow a whistle, when two other men
with their faces blacked and their
porsons otherwise disguised, imme
diately made their appearance from
the adjoining wood aud instantly
cut tho throat of the uegro boy who
was sitting by the fire, killing him
on the spot. They then started for
the wagon, when the owner, who
lmd been watching their movements,
opened fire on them with a shot gun,
killing two of them in their trucks.
The one dressed in woman’s clothes
made bis escape. Upon examina
tion of the dead men, it was discov
ered thut they were white, who had
evidently seen the man receive tho
money at the factory for his cotton,
aud whose object was the murder
of the whole party and robbery."

The best scareci ow is a suspended
looking-glass. Take two small cheap

them to an elastic pole. When the
glass swings in the wind, the sun’s

The second plan, although a ter
ror to cows, is well situated to fields
subjected to the inroads of small
birds, and even chickens. It involves
ves an artificial hawk made from a
big potato and long goose and tur
key feathers. The maker can exer
cise his imitative skill in sticking the
feathers into the potato so that they
resomble the spread wings and tail
of a hawk. It is astonishing what a
ferocious bird of prey can be con
structed from the above Bimple ma
terial. It only retaains to hang the
object from a tall bent pole, ana the
wind will do the rest. The bird
will make swoops and daBhes in a
most headlong and threatening
manner. Even the most inquisitive

Hayes’ Veto.
Washington,February 28—In the

We reiterate, if southern farmers
are wise, they will not sacrifice their
interests, nud jeopardize their safe
ty, by straiuing their resoarees to
raise cotton.
It is true that corn and meat are
now comparatively low, but so is
cotton. Besides, if a general Euro
pean war, which now seems immi
nent should occur, a Inigo cotton
crop will be to the South a severe
disaster, instead of a benefit.
The price i -f cotton will go lo iver
than it has gono for thirty years;
while a great and active foreign de
mand for American moat and bread
stuffs, will raise the prices corres
pondingly.

corn at one dollar and fifty cents

In 1872 your Vegutino was recommended to

was suffering from general nebilitj und nerv-

Dear Sir,—About one yenr since I found
myself in n feeble coudition from geueral de
bility. Vegetiuo was strongly recommended
to me by a triend who had been much bene-
fitted by its use. I procured the article, and
after using several bottles, was restored to
health, and discontinued its use. I feel quit*
confident that there is no medicine superior
to it for those complaints for which it is es
pecially prepared, und would oheorfully ro
commend it to those who feel thut thoy need
something to restore them to perfect health
