Talbotton Standard: Oar market has
of late got some notoriety as a wool mar

in the last few weeks several thousand
pounds of that arlioie, for which the
highest prices are paid for all grader.
Some ot oar merchants are giving that
branoh of the trade considerable atten
tion of Ute. Another season there will
be a driving btstaess done here in that
line, as sheep culture is largely on the

business.

of cultivation by mannring heavily with
home-made manures, upon the small
farm system. The character ot the land
is oommon pine, and has been in culti

should be a model to all.

Mr. Frank Siffold, clerk in Eicg’e con-

hours he became conscious that be had
actually walked out of the window of the
room where be was sleeping. He made
eomo noise of distress and was heard by
some one and thus obtained help. He

Elopement. — Bsrnesville Gaxtie:
Sometime since an Englishman, by the
name of Evett, came to Dr. J. S. Laven
ders and asked for employment. Dr.
Lavender designing to aid him and at
the earns time advance his own interest,
gave him employment on his farm. Very
eoon he had some painting he wished
done, as we are informed, and learning
that Evett could do the work gave him
the job. This work threw him into clo
ser communication with the family, and
at night he assisted the Doctor’s children
in preparing their lessons for Gordon In
stitute. In this way ho managed to gain
the confidence and love of the Dcctoi’s
daughter, Mies Susie, and they became
engaged to be married. The secret be
came known to tbe parents and they or
dered Mr. Evett to leave and forbade
their daughter marrying a stranger,
about whom she nor they know any
thing. He went to Upson county and
procured license, about two months since,
and then went to the Chalybeate Springs.
Last Thursday Mtss Susie gathered up
some pans and went out to gather some
blackberries. While oat, an aged gen
tleman came along in abaggy and she
was taken to tbe presence of her lover,
nnited in marriage we are informed, and
the conple went their way rejoierag.

The address of Dr A. G. Haygood con
stituted an important feature in the at
tractive programme. Character as dis
tinguished from reputation, was the pro
lific tnema from which flashed forth at
the skillful touch of the distinguished
speaker gems of purest and grandest
thoughts. A beaconligbt was pointed
out to aid the right fcrmation of charac
ter, it waathie: ‘.'Nothow shall I become
distinguished, but how shall I improve
the talents intrusted to my care?” Toe
speaker was very happy in his elucidation
and illustration of tbe sdbject, which
was abundantly attested by the individual
attention of the thronged andience dar
ing the delivery of the addrees. The ad
dress of Mr. J. H. Jones at nizht in
awarding the prizes, came in for a full
share of popular favor. Its beautiful
tbonghta expressed in elegant diction, in
spite of the heated ait of the.room, and
the lateness of the hour conld not fall to
arrest the attention and call forth tbe
hearty commendation of hie delighted
auditors.
$500 Reward.—Eastman Times: We
are reliably informed that Mr. Eiward
Perry has offered a reward of $500 for
the arrest, with pioof to convict, of oneor
more of the parties engaged in the late
Liurena county jail delivery. We think
this offer will, and certainly should,
bring about an investigation ot this law
lessness.
Columbus Enquirer : ‘•Yesterday we
noticed a tent pitched near the wharf,
which was attracting considerable atten
tion. Upon inquiry we learned that it
was oconpied by a man named Jackson
and hie family. He is partially paralyzed
and can do no work. His wife is a’so in
bed health. To a gentleman he told the
following story : Several years before
the war he removed from North Carolina
to Tci-g, there engaged iu the cattle bus
iness, and accumulated a good sum of
money. War was declared between tbe
States ; be enlisted with tbe Confederates
and while fighting for the Santh was bad
ly wounded. He returned to Texas, bnt
so broken in health that he was unable to
work, !:Dd scon lost his al). Then he con
cluded to return to North Cardins, ini
start'd on tbe jonrney last winter. He
had but little money, which was soon ex
pended ; one horse was frozen, the otter
and the wagon was sold for a mere song.
A few days ago they arrived at Eufanla
and came to onr city on- tbe steamer Jor
dan. They are truly objeots of obarity,
and we Lost some of oar citizens will give
them aid. Mayor Wilkins will secure

The editor of the MUledgevlHe Record
er has been shown by Dr. Harris a spe

an open field near that city. A hole per
forating the shaft indicated that It was
either need as an ornament for the ear
or nose ot the aborigines, or a head for

it is judged its origin dated from a pe_
riod far beyond the reckoning of any one

That Monstrosity.— A short time
since an item appeared in this column,
in referenco to a human monstrosity in
the shape of a child, the like of which
was never before seen or heard of. But
the Ordinary of Babum oounty gives a
quietus to the matter, as follows, in
a letter to the Atlanta Posf:
Ordinary's Office, Georgia,
Rabun Co., Jane 27th, 1879.
Editors Atlanta Post: There has been
clippings from your paper and others
sent to the different county officers of
this county, with postage enclosed, ask
ing about “Eabnm county’s Monstrous
Monstrosity.’’ I have inquired of old
citizens about the circumstance. None
of them know any thing about it; never
was heard of only through Dr. J. C.
Jones, and the peoplo know of no such
doctor or his existence in this county. I
was born and raised in the county; ntver
heard of such a thing, nor the parties in
the county. I am 45 years of age and
am acquainted with the people of the
county.

The Picxens Murder.—Atlanta Post:
The reports concerning the murder of a
Mr. Poole, suspected of beiog an inform
er against illicit distillers, have been
meagre and inaccurate. The trueiacta
in the case, as they have been reliably
reported, are a3 follows:
Saturday night jast after the moon had
risen, a party of between ten and fifteen
men visited the house where the Poole
family were sleeping. They immediately
broke down the door, and, rnshiug into
the bouse, opened fire npon tbe now
awakened occupants. Too wife of th*
gentleman who was killed immediately
fled from the house, believing at tbe time
that her little child had been murdered.
She resorted to tbe house of a neighbor,
and wheD, a few hours after, she dared to
return to her home, she found her hus
band lying dead upon the fl tor, and her
little child sleeping quietly beside its dead
father. The brother of the dead man
had been shot above the elbow, ths bal
let ranging upward and lodging tear tbe
collar bone.
Mrs. Poole, before her flight, recog
nized at least one of the murderous
crowd, and is so confident as to bo will-
mg to swear to it. Her brother-in-law
also recognized the same man, and will
swear against him on oath.
Augusta Chronicle: “Mr. Thomas M.
Kimbrough, wbo was stricken with par
alysis last Tuesday, died at 8 o’clock last
night. He leaves a wife and three chil
dren. Mr. K-mbrocgh came to Aagnsta
from Bichmond, Yu., and has been an
unassuming and excellent citizen of his
adopted city. He was book-keeper for
Barrett and Caswell, and discharged the
duties of that position faithfully and to
the satisfaction of his employers. He
was a member of the Knights of Pythias,
and of Pendleton Lodge, Knights of
Honor. His family will receive $3,000
from the first named Order, and S2.000

The speech of Frank Hurd, of Ohio, in
reply to Garfield, is one of the beat that
have been made in the House for many a
year. We only have room for his cios eg
remarks. They aro aa follows. “Mr. Chair
man. this extra seesion has made np the
iatue between the two parties. Tne Demo
crat io party declare that the atmy shall be
kept from the polls; that janes shall be
impartially drawn: that the teat oath shall
be repealed, and that the Federal authsiity'
shall not interfere with elections within ti-s
States. Upon that question th9 Republican
party iseue with us. Confidently appealing
only to the patriotism of the country, the
Democratic party goes into this contest.
Never, in all the history of this land, have
more imp rtant questions been submitted
to the American people for their determina
tion. They relate to the pure administra
tion of justice, they concern the gravest
questions cf Constitutional law; they iff act
the foundation principles of civil liberty.
Every man who runs for any efibe in any
State, and orery citizen who goes to the
po’.lB to deposit his ballot, is interested
The whcle method of at camming the popu
lar will in the Bspubllo is involved in the
Iseue. So far-reachzng are these principles
that if upon th’e ieeue the Bepnblicm party
shall be tncceeefnl, then all the power over
elections in States would be drawn to the
central Government. The State* would lose
their places in the federative ey=tom,
and whether the army snail be uaei
at the polls or not wrntld b i a question, not
of right and of constitutional law, but of
executive discretion. Such a result means
tbe end ef the Republic and tha np'ifnng ot
the empire. Can there be any donbt aa to
a controversy like this? Ia Basal*, where
absolute deepotiam alienees individual opin

monarchs and emperors for a-?ea haveslam-

here In free America, with the tradition* of
onr British ancsetors, and with the sacrifices
and triumphs of our American forefathers
in behalf of civil liberty, it cannot be doubt
ful, [Applause ] Shall civil liberty perish
upon its threshold and by its own fireside ?
Snail tbe beacon light which has shown irom
our shores for the encouragement of strug

and pollute the air ao that a freeman can

THE PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE.
Oa Tuesday the Chancellor invited tie
Board.of Visitors to witness the annual
foreneio passage at arms bet wain the
students of Parliamentary law. Nearly all
of tbe class were present and a goodly ar
ray of spectators also. The exorcises were
both amnsing and edifying. One striking
feature was the courtesy and perfect aelf-
oontrol exhibited by each speaker. There
were no ebullitions of temper, no unkind
retorts, no dishonorable edbterfages, no
unfairness to be observed in any of their
deliveranoes. Certain articles of tbe
oonctitntion of the Society wore under con-
sidoratioa and formed tbe basis of debate.
Both sides filibustered, ikimrished,offered
substitutes, amendments, and amend
ments to amendments, oalledthe previous
question, moved to strike onr. add to, re-
commit, postpone temporarily, then in

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
This grand old institution, which datcB

fonrih3 of the area of onr noble common
wealth was an untrodden wilderness, we
arc delighted, to say appears to have ta
ken a new departnre and npwara re
bound from its recent temporary rever
ses.
These reverses conld not fairly be charge
able to any particular individual source.
They were the result of antagonisms in
the management of tbe Univeratty, out-

SAD EXPERIENCE
baa at loogth wrought a revolution for
the better.
We find now that great and needed
improvements bave been made in the
buildings and College grounds.
Tne trustees have also wisely reform
ed divera alleged grievances among the
students, enlarged their liberty in vari
ous respects, and ceemed resolved more
earnestly than ever to do their whole du-
ty_in the promises.
As a natural consequence the number
ot etudenta boa largely increased, and
there is at this time
AN EXCESS CF SIXTY
over tne matriculates of the same date
last year.
Toe future outlook also is very prom
ising. We hear not a note ol discord in
- he press, at home or among the people
of the 8 ate. All differences seem to
h«Vd been harmonized, or rather to have
dud a natural death. And now if tbe
Trustees will but exhibit a
LIBERAL SPIRIT
tows ids the proposed branches of
the University in Milledgeville,
Cuthbert and Thomasville, all will
go on swimmingly. * But at tho same
time these committees should realize that
‘•Juve htlpa tnose who help themselves, ’
and ns tbe recipients of the immediate
fi’uits of tho educational enterprises
sought to be established, they ahould not
be stinted in their own contributions to
tne geod work.
In the absent of legal advice as to the
proper coastruotion of the new Constitu
tion on the questions involved, the writer
is not prepared to advocate any particular
line of action authoritatively. But if tbe
GENERAL ASSEMBLY F.SSES3E3 THE
POWER,
be most emphatically favors tbe plan
suggested by the Southern Banner and
endorsed by the Chronicle and Sentinel,
which proposes to divide the fund
(amounting to about $22,000) derived
trom the tax on the Bale ot fertilizers be
tween theee branch colleges and tha
parent foundation. This would leave in
tact the revenues from the Agricultural
scrip which in their entirety fall actually
short of the absolute wants of onr Uni
versity. We shonld not "rob Peter to
pay PauF; and onght to increase rather
than diminish the revenues of our cher
ished State University. Moreover, the
schools of Milledgeville, Cuthbert and
Thomasville should be unified with and
made subordinate integers of the time-
honored University at Athens. To
state it plainly, they should bo made
feeders to the parent stock, and not rivals
of their mother. Otherwise tbe Legislature
and Board of Trustees of the State
University would stultify them
selves . by advocating tho
establishment of theso branch
institutions. If the coarse of etndy in

DISCIPLINE.
Chancellor Mell, in tbe language of a
venerable trustee, Dr. Milohell, ia one of
the best administrative offio.-ts in the
country; and this seems to be tbe nni.
versnl opinion. He ie always dignified,
yet quiet and genial, and withal sternly
just. The yonng men love him, and one
of them told the writer that it was unpop
ular to be disorderly beoause the students
disliked wounding tbe feeliogs of their
Ohacoellor. From all aonrceB we learn
that the depoitment of the young gentle,
men has been exoellent during the past
year. Not a single case of expnlsion has
ocsnrred, and there have been no serious
disturbances of any kind.
THE CAMPUS
has undergone great improvement in the
way of grading, grass covered terraces,
and the planting ont of a large number of
valuable shade trees, all oarefally protec
ted by whitewashed boxes. The two
college buildings, ehapel, library room,
Society Halls, Professor’s residences
and indeed the entire premi
883 of the University bave- been
renovated and placed in good re
pair. The feeling on the part of the
community » excellent and this has been
made specially apparent by the numerous
courtesies extended to the Board of visi-
tors. Time and again have they as a
body enjoyed the hospitality of both fac
ulty and citizons. Last night the writer
web the guest of his old Liberty county
friend
CHANCELLOR MELL,
As he entered his crowded parlors, a
tiny, dear little boy jast ont of his frocks
ran forward, and of coarse was greeted
with a kiss. Qnotb the proud Chancel
lor,casting a load glance over the Mell ar
ray, this is
“NUMBER FJFrEEN.”
Yes, indeed,and as the list grows larger
it becomes sweeter; (we take that word
back for he has a trio of the brightest
and prettiest grown young lady daugh-
tors in Georgia, who are Bimply charm
ing) aud the stock continues to improve.
Ye miserable bachelora who munch
your bread in solitary loneliness without
one cheery voice to send sunshine athwart
your pathway, or break the adamantine
crust of selfishness that envelopes yon,
think of fifteen olive plants, fresh, vig
orous and strong, encircling the parent
stock! Conld yoa realize thh perfect
happiness, self-denial, tenderness and de
votion of a large and nnited family the
days of your single cursedness, (not bles-
sedaeas) would be numbored unless you
bad made yourself so odious that no sen
sible girl would tolerate your addresses.
Tl • Doctor has cause to be proud
ot his happy and promising brood,
and we wish him muck jiy sxd

should be remarked that Mrs. Mell utterly
refused to put with her yonugost pet,
though the writer went to his extreme
limit (two cows aud calves) at tho very
first bid.

The President, Mr. Alexander, cf

oellor, who presided when in oommittee
of tbe whole, showed great coolness, tact
aud knowledge ot parliamentary law by
tbelr rulisg3, and tbe young disputants
made very few mistakes. It was the best
exhibition of the kind wo have ever seon
in tha University. If tbe Radical major
ity In Congress conld bave bandied them
selves as well, doubtless the conntry
would oontinue to be afflloted with a con
tinuation of the extra session.
THS BATTALION PARADE.
Professor Cbarbonoier drilled the Uni
versity battalias in the presence
cf tho Board on Wednesday af
ternoon. This accomplished gentleman
bears a colonel's commission from the
governor, and !b n trained soldier and
splendid officer. He served with the
rank of oaptainin tbe French army, and
bis father is now a general of division in
the setvioe of that Jttapublio. The parade
woold have compared favorably with the
evolutions of West Pointers. Never was
there eesn physically a finer or more
stalvart body of yonng men. In size,
tho comae al was above the
average, and eaoh yonng soldier
marched erect and with the tramp of a
veteran. Ia the manual and the multi
tude of evolutions they were required to
perform, not a solitary mistake was
made. The esprit du corps runs high in
the University, and if subjected to the
crucial ■ test of war no more gallant or
effective body of troops could Georgia
send to the field than the undergraduates
of her own noble Umversity.
A VISIT TO THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
Accompanied by Lamar Cobb, Esq.
Dr. Mitchell, Col. Harris and Chancellor
Mell, tbe Board surveyed the crops of
Professor Browne, who is at the bead of
the Department of Agriculture. Albeit
the site of the farm was recently a worn
out barren hillside, yet we have seen no
suoh earn or cotton in the vicinity.
The soil had been stirred to the depth
of fourteen incheB in the winter and was
in perfeot tilth. As a result, though
needing rain, the crops were green and
luxuriant and give promise of an abun
dant yield. Carefal experiments have
been made with about thirty fertilizers,
which, when the harvest is over and the
results can be known, will be given to
the public. It is in this way that spuri.
ons compounds may be most readily de'
tected and driven from the market. Gen.
Browne has greatly beautified and im
proved the grounds of the rock college
with flowers and shrubs, and tbe bnild-
ing ia in perfect order. Hie visitors were
regaled with an elegant lnnch of cake,
io9 cream, sherbet, etc., and expressed
themselveB well pleased with the crops
and conduct of the farm.
A PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT.
La3i night the writer and bis associ
ates, by invitation, attended the readings
of a social olub in Cobbam, at the elegant
residence of Col. James S. Hamilton. His
epacioua parlors were all thrown open to
receive the brilliant company that attend
ed, and never did an impromptu amateur
affair piss off mere creditably or agree
ably.
The music on the piano, rendered by
Mrs. Thomas Burke, Mias N. Himilton,

was superb. The readers, too,

wharf. The passengers and the mer
chandise were pat ashore iu lighters,
which ran up into the sand. A troop of
camels, with their drivers, lay on tbe
beach, ready to transfer the goods into
tbe interior. Among the articles landed
were boxes marked ‘Dr. J C. Ayer & Co.,

they contained medicines and whence
they came. These with other goods were
hoisted on the backs of camels, for trans

What we b-ve lost is a matter of more di

gone far towards maMcg a solid North by
stirring up a fresh the Urea and passions of
see ional animosity. They claim that the
fears and tiupicions of that aeotfou have
been reawakened and renewed and that the

that old teen as bars teen renewed and old
fires rekindled and that upon them tbe
North will regrasp its Old oceptre end re

and there are some signs and proofs of its
correctness. But that they have misinter
preted both is my honest faith and earnest

modified that judgment. He wasted money
like water and allowed eome ve:y unclean
