iMuii'n Intint!ituls
This is i.-n ungrateful world to say il e
least. A man will eel like a lunatic when
I bus tlio Itching I’ilos, and I’oclan
that he knows ho oan't live anotlier day,
y t he applies Swayna’s Ointment, the
intonse itching is allayed at mice, ho gets
o'.red, and goes down to tlio lodge with
out one whit of gratitude. When asked
why ho looks so cheerful he dodges the
question by an indilleiciit answer. It’s
just like a man though, isnt it?
AVe think tlio late press convention
ctred in req le-tiug the repeal of the law
regulating logal advertising. Though it
cut down our pill os somewhat, we say.
Lot it still bo the law. It protects the
rights ot all parties. It is no more unjust
to the publisher to say by law what ho
shall receive for publishing notice of the
application ol an administrator for dis
charge than to prescribe the ordinaiy's
fee for granting the di-eharge.
Wo never had the slightest sympathy
with the Houthern side of the warq .e
--tier. Hut an,' man who saeiiflee- himself
for what he believi to ho right is a hero,
ngd this n.ost of the Soirlicrn dead of the
war did. Snell deserve tile title f hero
isui as much as those who were not mi:
taken in their heroism. To deny it to
them is nairowness and pnjudioe.

<■! siiusiastically cheated by the people,
li,. was crowned Just Sunday.
I'cin.ic hanuinom.
In the absence of a cirrua, the people
in vaiimis portions of the state Imve had
the opportuoiiy of satisfying that morbid
onriosity which, to some extent, affects
every grade of human nature. Ordinarily,
il would seem that, no spectacle would ho
more revolting than that which ac
companies the taLing off of tho e who
aro condemned to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law. It was formerly
supposed that public executions exerted
a moral <fl„ef by virtue of tho terrible
example. The knilij of the guillotine did
its work under tho eyes of the public,
and in all sges of the world, tyrants have
made bloody examples of th we who
transgressed their will. The masked
headsman wiih his ax plvya a large purl
in history, and we read how the beads of
traitors, tnnh.-fnctnra and what-no', have
been displayed upon pikes ns a warning
to thoso inclined towards evil. In all
ages, even in the presont, it has been
deemed proper jmd expedient to make a
public display of the Inst resort of justice.
It is to ho questioned, however,
whether these public exhibitions have
aDy <-ffe. t upon the public except to
pander to a morbid cutiosily which is the
next tiling to depravity. We douln
whether public hangings, for instance,
such us we buvj recently had in Georgia,
liavj any sort of effect upon the criminal
classes. Those executions are not re
garded as warnings They arc.looked
upon as a sort of show which is rarely
seen, and whitjh warrants a sort of holiday
excursion.
There was a public execution lasi
Friday tit WnycrnSH. and it appears to
have heen a vmy attractive uff .ir. All
business was suspended for forty miles
around, the plows wore left in the furrows,
and the turpentine nulls were closed, and
it is slated that not less than eight
thousand people gathered to witness the
hanging of a mi-crjilo riintinal. This
vast crowd of whites and blacks was not
by any n cans a soluiMn one; on tho con
trary, il wii> gaily expectant, the spec
tutors having the air and altitude ol
people who gather to see a slight-ol hand
petit,nininco, or any other interesting
show.
There was also a pub hanging m
Lexington, and we have from Editor
Gantt, ol til.* Athens Ihiir. Watchman,
that the crowd was large, and boisterous.
It was so huge, in fact, that Editor
Gatl.t estimate,s llinl the hanging
cost the liirimir* of Oglethorpe at It ast
rIU.WHJ ill loss nt labor at a most critical
period. Iu this large crowd there were
in my diuuken men and one drunken
while w. Ulan —a spectacle of debauchery
that must have linen .ppul ine to any
sober blinded permit.
Then was slid another lejrading
feature ol' the Is xinginii Kp!-ctaide lo
which Editor Ga nt ulltiles iu prop r
terms namely, the presence of a large
number of Wcll-dr.sseil and deegnt
appe ri> jf wmjtcfl.* It is difficult to
iii)iig ; tio how s-iy’Wiftnan who lays claim
to ill.; liner feeling of the sex could so
far forget herself, hut there were a
number of women at the L xbigton
hanging, and they seemed to he sincoi ly
anxious to see whatever v to bo seen,
no mutter lio.v revohing tho spectacle
might be. They patched the whole affair
(ruin Itcginning to end with unmoved
faces, ami seemed to be loss n'looted than
the men. This is the testimony of
Editor Gantt, who paid paitioul >r inten
tion to this brunch ol the exhibition, as
became a gallant newspaper man.
Ono pin ic'utdl of Edilor G.-ntt’s
a ‘Count ot the hnnKintt. Slid the interest
of ih woman, basil flavor not unlike tlin
lusty n n.o of Meriick: "One vustie

Gantt - “to .secure n better view, climbed
to tho t ip of a pine sapling, nnd, perched
dpo . its topmost bough, com placently

a rush made for the inviting siiae ■ of

detract alliuli'm-t fom the orooutinn.

OBITUARY.
Mi-8 Mary V. it hers was born in North
Carolina on the 29th d*y of June, 1829,
and liter] May 17th. 1883. Her father,
B E Wit hers, moved to Floyd county in
the year 1837 from North Carolina, and
after some years moved to this county
near this place. Miss Miry'it mother
died here iu JBsfi, leaving her ar. the head
of the household, consisting of her father,
sist*T Margaret, and three brothers.
Since their residence here, she bus had
w.ny bereavement*: first, her amiable
and intelligent mother, who died in 18ob;
second, Langdon Q., who was killed upon
the historic first. Manassas battle field, on
the 29. h day of Aug., 1*62; third, Capf.
('laytoti J . who, for liis good sense up
rightness and fi lelity to his friend*,
enjoyed the esteem of a very large circle,
who dmd February 71li 1877, and whoso
remains, it was said, were followed to his
grave bv the ’argesf concourse of people
that ever attended a burial in our
cemetery; fourth, Capt. Joel Withers, of
La Fayette, a gallant captain of our war,
in many a l loody battle, always aligned
to the front and et.trusted with dangerous
maneuvers; lionff of Walker county,
upright, sensible, faithful and true, died
February 24th, 1881. iu the lull and
rounded maturity of his uaefuloesa and
manhood.
Miss Mary has npent Icr life iln.ost
exclusively in the service of her family
and friends. She seemed always -to he
more concerned for the comfort of others
than herself. 1 don’t ret? ember, in the
third • fa century that I have known the
family, ever to have seen her concerned
or troubled abotr herself. Though she
ie cr knew of the comfort of wealth* yet
she could always, with every ol j -ct of
i distress or suffering, find something ahe
could do, and did it eh cifully. On ti c
faru and at the head of the household,
she knew where everything was, what
ought to be done, and how it should he
done. She died after long years of Buf
fering with consumption, which wa**
borne with true Christian fortitude and
resignation. Her life and words were
full of hnj> - for the fruition of eternal
life in Christ Jc*u*\ In the last of her
i I ness -he ►aid, *1 hnvc had to live a life
ft i1; now that 1 have sold the farm,
and again settled comfortably, 1 w mid
pr for to live longer, but the will of the
Master be done.” *He often leads us
over rugged ways to | albs of peace.”
Let u not forget tLo text at her
funeral; “The righteous hath hope in
liis death,” for it will certainly come to
us all, as t. c very hist and only hope.
Wliat hope is there for the unrighteous?
V\ ho arc tho unrighteous? These are
important questions, freighted with the
weight of eternity. The word a millions

Judtfe Willis, of the Chattahoochee
circuit, sa>s that a gaiubler con be con

inoocy he has.
thk diamond Rattlesnake.
Of all the bn ike varieties of which we
have yet any knowledge, the diamond
rattlesnake, as it i* called, seems to be
the most deadly. It grows to a length of
six feet or fcyrn feet, and is somewhat
thicker than a mans wrist. It is armed
with the whitest and sharpest of fangs,
nearly an inch in length, with citterns of
liquid poison at their bane. A terror to
man and beast, he turns a*ide from no
one. Although he will not go out of hie
way to attack any unless pressed by
hunger. A description o i his movements
by u traveler who has encountered him
states that he moves quietly along, his
gleaming eyes -eetning to emit a greenish
light, and to shine with a-much brilliancy
u- ti e jewels ol a finished coquette.
Nothing seems to escape his observation,
and on the slightest movement near him
he swings into hU fighting attitude, raining
his upper jaw and erecting hi* fangs,
which in a slate of repose lie clostdy
packed in the soft muscles of his mouth.
I nis nake is nut o active as the famous
copperhead of North America, nor so
qu ck to *tri e. but one blow is almost
always fatal. 11 is fangs are so long that
they pc tic t rate deep into the muscles and
veins of his victim, who haa little time
lor more than a incle good-by before
closing his eyes forever. In one instance
the fangs were found to be seven eighths
of a inch in length, and though nit
thicker than a common se.ving needle,
they were perforated with a hole through
which tho greet irdi yc.hw liquid could he
forced in considerable quantities, and
each of the sacs contained about half a
teuspoouful of the most terrible and
poison American.
