Another Revival.— A revival has been
in progress at Rocky A/bunt Church of the
County Line Circuit for the past several
days. The congregations have been un

of the spirit powerful and convincing, the
j conversions bright and glorious.
This old church has suffered much bv the
removal and death of members, and has on
ly had preaching this year once a month—
(in r ridav. But this last visitation of the
Loid has brought hack much of her former
prosperity—resussuated the expiring hopes
of her people and poured a flood-tide of
light and peace over the neighborhood.

Woman’s Rights. —One who lias long
studied this absorting subject now presents
to the women of our county the result of his
investigations. He is happy to say that he
has at last discovered “Woman’s Best
Friend.” It is adapted, especially, to thocs
carespvhcre the womb is disordered, and
will cure any irregularity of the “menses,”
Dr. J. B radii eld's Female Regulator acts
like a charm in “whites,” or in a sudden
check of the “monthly courses” from cold,

the discharge in every instance. So also in

“Tore Him Off.” —The Grillin News’
“Jimmie” and our “Gome.-” lias imtliought

defeat him in the Congressional race. AYe
thought he had more discretion, if he did
dot like AYiilie, than to have done such a
tiling. IBs political friends say that he
reconciled AYiilie Guilford, by k;s usual
practice, taking back all the rash things he
had ever clone and said, and promised not
to ilo so any more. lie and Billy shook
hands over the bloody chasm, and Billy
went to Forsyth and had him nominated.
Now “Genies” lias been so imprudent the
colored folks say, as to go to The Rock
Wednesday and vote for AYalker and tore
Billy off. Now wc are afraid that Billy
won’t like this when he hears of it, and he
won’t help “Gomes” out on the 2Uth insf.
Mu. Editor : Nothing has been said in
your paper about the office ot Ordinary. I
learn that there are three or more candidates,
but none of them have made any forma! an
nouncement. This office lias been 'well till
ed by the present incumbent, Yd. A. Cobb.
No one can find fault with his lionc.-ty or
ability, Xo one can charge him with neg
lect ofduty. And the only objection I have
ever heard is that he keeps too much money
in the treasury, llow can this be an objec
tion when the great clamor throughout the
country, is let us put men in office who will
not rob the people and neglect their rights,
lie is stronger to-day than he ever was.
The disfavor of some of the radical party to
ward him has strengthened him mucfPand
the very fact that such men desire him re
moved should be one of the greatest reasons
why he he should be retained by the good
citizens of the county. lie understands the
duties of the office and will administer them
according to the strictest justice and should
be re-elected. t itiz.ex.
The Mrsrc.u, Concert. —As published,
Profs. Sclioellcr, Pratt and Lady, entertain
ed a respectabic and appreciative audience,
in the way of a musical concert, on Thurs
day evening last. We noted some special
pieces while the concert was in progress and
intended to make special comments, but the
various pieces both instrumental and vocal
were so well executed that we find ourselves
at a loss to discriminate. Those who under
stand music all render a verdict that Prot.
SchoeUvr is thoroughly versed in its princi
ples. Mrs. V. T. Thurston and Master
Thomas Stout, participated and drew upon
themselves the applause ot the auuieuee.
The “Little Brown Church" and the “Cur
ly Headed Boy,” are the airs hummed by
the little boys sim c the concert. We would
be glad to sec these gentlemen get up a
class at Thomasten.
PvEGO.An Meeting Feint DisthicT
Farmers’ Club, Sept. 21st, lS72..—The
Club was called to order by the President.
The minutes of last meeting were read
and adopted.
The Committee to procure a speaker, re
ported that they expected Capt. Cottcn and
Messrs. McMichael and Cabaniss to add re- s
the Club, until within a 'few days past,
when it was too late to procure others; but
that the said gentlemen had promised them
to be with and address us upon the best in
terest? of our Club at our next regular meet
insr. Whereupon it was resolved that said
gentlemen he requested to meet with and
address ms a t our next regular meeting.
The Committee on Investigation reported
through their Chairman, Jas. 11. Taylor,
that upon examination, they find the corn
crop above the usual average crop in this
section, but regret the small amount of
ground cultivated, and would most earnest
ly recommend to the formers the the im
portance of putting more ground in this,
the most important crop of our section.
Upon the other crops, they would postpone
a report until the next regular meeting,
when they would make a detailed report of
crops, stock, Ac., together with the relative
value of the various fertilizers used upon
each crop.
The following resolutions were in tranced
by R. F. Patillo, and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the ladies are hereby in
vited and requested to meet with us at each
and every regular meeting.
Resolved, That specimens of crops and
work bo brought up and exhibited at the
next regular meeting,
Resolved, That tin Flint District Farm
ers Club is composed of fanners and me
chanics, and that we expect and believe that
delegates from the same to the State Agri
cultural Society will be received and accred
ited as such.
On motion, the ( lab adjourned to the
next regular meeting.

Thomaston Market. —The liberality,
energy and activity of our merchants have
done and are doing more to build up the
Truth* of our town than we expected for sev
oral seasons to come. AA'e have as good
market for produce, barter, stock and es
pecially cotton, as there is any where in
thi:) whole section of country. The farmers
of Jjpsun and the surrounding counties,
convenient, to Thomaston, cannot ii>* bet
ter than to come and tjade with our liter
elmpts, especially those who have cotton to
sell should bring it here, for our buyers
are not speculators, who take advantage of
quality and grades and freights, but they
are gentlemen personally known to you and
/•hose interest and aim it is, as well as
Tours, to sustain our home market. In the
past some trouble has been realized in not al
ways having on hand money to pay for
cotton, this difficulty has been removed and
there is now no reason why the farmers
should not bring their cotton tot his market
and make it their place of trade.
Iff it. Editor Among the uumerus way. so
to prevent the understand sway the sensibili
ties and embitter public mind with subtle
predjudioes, few possess greater strength
than ridicule. A more striking instance of
this can not be seen than by retrospei ting the
life of an Aristophanes engaged in compos
ing a comic poem known as the clouds in
which Socrates the good and wise philoso
pher is represented descending in a basket
uttering the most redieulous absurdities.—
No circumstance had a greater tendency to
enrage the Athenian mind than this it grew
increased and developed until the life of a
Socrates fell penalty to the Grecian Law.
Tills in part might apply to a ridiculous
piece that appeared in your columns ol last
weeic known as a “Hardshell Sermon.”—
Religion is tender poin:. Though the world
moves appearentiy i.n'.f ncernedand remains
silent to such torts. Yet, every thrust is in
road upon the heart, People that are sin
cere in their belief, eoneious that their future
hope is linked witii their faith by Listing,
living ligaments and have been taught by
sore experience, which writes its law in
their hearts, that their salvation is inseperu
ble with the truth of their Religion, object
to having it burlesqued, though it lie done
under the pretense of humor ami wit.
Tlio professors of this religion are an hum
ble and unassuming people, their paths are
in peace and good will to all men—they
move in fear and trembling - of God, and ex
pect for their doctrine not to be approved by
the world, because the wicked prefer dark
ness to light. They are willing to be cen
sured as it is a decree from the Father that
his people will be ridiculed and censured,
bivt they are determined not to submit to it
as far as their humble capacities will enable,
from those whom they pa/ron'ze.
Your paper has a wide circulation among
them, they are proud of it and rejoice at ttie
rapid strides it has made in obtaining rank
among the leading journals of our State and
wishes the most sanguine are cherished for
its triumph in periods of darkness and des
pair. Eager, anxious eyes watched it at the
dawn of its success and are now willing to
stand by it on the broad ocean of life.
A Friend to the Parer.
lit reply to the above we refer the author
and our readers to our response to anoth
er article of the ; ame character on the second
page. Our intention and spirit in copying
the article in our last issue from the Grillin
Star, has been miserably misconstrued. The
moral of any act or sying is said by authors
of moral science, to reside in the intention.
If one intends evil in an act, they are crim
inal. If the spirit and intention is good,
they should not be condemned. If our in
tention had been to ridicule the denomina
tion referred to by the article, then we would
be an enemy for them to hurl missiles at.—
AYe have shown our intention, and endeav
ored to prove that it was a good one, and if
our friends won’t forgive and forget, we
can do no more.
The Election. —Bright and early
AA'ednesday morning, our punctual Sheriff,
in the Court-house door announced that the
polls were open and the managers ready to
receive ballots. At former elections, since
the war. the colored voters, in their enthusi
asm and eagerness to vote, arrived before
Aurora illumined tlie Orient. But there
seems to have been some more lethargy and
indifference at this election. The spirit of
victory and the determination to carry the
tide their way was not so distinctly visible.
They entered the battle with doubts as to
their cause and of their ability to win. They
had not the batteries of curruption to get be
hind, or administration machinery, and the
artillery of despotism with which to confront
the foe. But they came as thick and fast as
the Locusts of Egypt, organized, drilled in
AYalker and Guilford tactics, and in one dark
phalanx ad raced on the polls until the last
yellow missile was shot into the box. In
witnessing the balloting, we noticed one
prominent feature in the colored voters;
That many of them grew to be very old. Os
the number that voted, a very great propor
tion of them had outlived the law requiring
them to pay poll tax.
As the day grew older the colored ranks
recruited a art continued to come in even to
the time for closing the polls. Guilford »nd
his marshals had been active in equipping
and disciplining their legions. A deadly and
desperate onslaught was made, hut Hones
ty. Order and Go<xl Government had seized
hold of the vitals of Upson, and site deter
mined to enshrowd. Theft, Waste, Corrup
tion. Tyranny, Bayonclt law and Eventual
Ruin, and put them quietly to rest for four
more years. Without riot, disturbance or
interference with any one and in perfect
harmony, the balloting was completed and
the counts consolidated. Before giv
ing the count, we must offer congratulations
to Flint District for her spotless record and
solid Democratic vote. She stands firmly
on the Democratic platform, as a unit with
out the odor of a Radical to remind Iter of
treachery, thievingand tyranny. She stands
a paragon example in the coming elections.
Let the vote of Upson, continue to increase
on the side sf honesty until she can send her
proper representative to every branch of the
Government. The result at the various pre
cincts is as follows:

There are many and diifercnt kinds of
fences in our county. The one that pre
•' dominates however, is the worm fence. A
description in (tctail of the minute differen
ces in construction would require more
space than I wish, at this time to occupy;
and the additional information in drawings
and descriptions necessary to a thorough
understanding of the peculiarities of each
kind of fence would, I fear, tax your patience.
■ But in order to storm the great stronghold
ol the enemy, it becomes necessary that 1
should make one little drawing. Before,
however, the representation is given, 1 will
stale for the benefit of all concerned, the
gentleman that brought this dm wing to my
consideration, is rich in lands, stock and
factories and is opposed to the fence law.
Because, he savs, we’ll be trespassing upon
the rights of the poor man, trampling upon
his liberties, infringing upon his freedom
etc lam as poor as any man ought to be,
and I beg leave to differ wi.li him, and I
think every poor man will, when lie sees
the drawing, hear his construction, mid
then ours, Here it is:
A B C
i) e r
A B C representing houses, D E F,
fields, A, representing the house of the
proprietor, B and C, the houses of tenants.
Let E represent the field enclosed for the
stock of Mr. A, the proprietor. F, the pas
ture for tenants B and ('. Everything
works smoothly and pcacably ’till fall.
Now Mr. A concludes to take from F, the
pasture of B and C, the rails, find Mr. A
says to B and C: “I am sorry gentlemen,
to interfere with your arrangements, but I
must move the fence from your pasture.
You can pay me a certain sum, and I will
agree that your stock may run in my pas
ture (E) or you must sacrifice your stock,
sell them to me at reduced rates, or take
these rails from F, and build a pasture
where I may choose to dictate.’’ Admit
this reasoning and it aliOMs two plain facts.
First, the machinations of an evil, envious
and malicious spirit on the part of Mr. A.
Second, weak minds and unbalanced judg
ment on the port of Messrs. B and C.
Would B and C, after making a contract
that their stock should occupy the field F,
permit Mr. A, to move it at Ills own time
and opinion? Mould they submit quietly
to his whims and caprices in this respect'?
Admit, for the sake of argument, that B and
C submitted, would it not be less tax upon
them to move this fence now, than to have
fixed tip and repaired the whole plantation
of Mr. A, in the beginning of the year? 1
think so.
In conclusion let me say, quit felling and
destroying your timber, let more woods
2 row up, then our floods Would be less in
jurious, our springs unfailing, and our
streams more constant, our blasts would bo
less bitter and our gales less destructive.
In my next, I will show the evil effects
of letting stock run at large, and show the
benefits derived from keeping them enclosed
on your own premises.
