The Hoy* are Coming.
Last week Dr. Mell received a let
ter from a teacher in southwest Geor»
gia, saying that lie would send five
boys out of his school, to the Univer
sity next Monday. The day before he
had a letter from another saying he
would send three. Let them come
on.
Candy and Flour.
As indicating the immense kusi~
ness done by Messrs. Talinadge,
Hodgson & Co., we mention the fact
that they have now on the road two
car-loads of stick candy, and that last
week they ordered twenty-one car
loads of flour of the same brand.
What do you think of that?
Crops In Madison.
Mr. James T. Power, who lives near
I’aoli, in Madison county, reports a
good cotton crop in that part of the
country. The drought from which
some parts of North-East Georgia
suffered in Jane aud July last, did
not seriously affect that section, .and
there will he a good yield of cotton.
The corn crop docs not turn out s >
well. Peas, turnips and potatoes are
doing well. Tire farmers arc in grod
condition, make their own provisions
and are generally out o! debt. This
is genuine prosperity and no mistake.
Tin- Floods of Thursday Myslit.
The rains of Thursday night last,
were very destructive in the lower
part of Oconee county. Messrs. II.
M. Saxon, J. M. Willoughby, G. B.
Smith, J. P. Elder, and L. W. Saxon,
hail almost their entire crops of corn
and cotton flooded and washed away.
I). W. Elder lost most of his fodder,
and his corn was considerably dam
aged.
Fayette Marshal lost his fodder and
potato crop, and his corn was damag
ed considerably. Thomas F. Miller
lost his fodder and cotton, anj his
corn was nearly ruined.
These all lived in the Skull Shoals
district. The water was four lecl
higher than it was in ihe May freshet.
A Touching Incident.
Mr. Thomas W. Gean, the carrier
ot the mail between Alliens aud
Watkinsville, informs us that Tues
day morning, while in Watkinsville,
he saw a colored man go to Sheriff
Overby, and ask to be pul in jail and
chained.
Being asked his reason, he said he
had been bitten by a mad dog, and
for fear that he would himself be at
tacked with hydrophobia, and bite
some one else, be desired to be
incarcerated and chained. The sher
iff complied, aud the poor fellow is
now in durance, awaiting, in all prob
ability, the most horrible death that
can bcinll a man. This man is Thom
as Akins, who was bitten by the dog
which Mr. Thomas Jonas killed—an
account of « hieh the Banner pul>-
lished a few days since.
The medical faculty ought to take
hold ol this case. The man ought
not to be left to die without iu> dibit
to save hiiu. If his case could be
suocesslully treated, it would not only
save a valuable human life, but would
be of great benefit to medical science.
Why not look into the matter,
Messrs. Doctors ?
Capture of a Man Slayer.
On thq fifth of August, James
Seagraves and a Mr. Royall, white
men and friends, had a difficulty in a
lmr-room, in Clarke County, Georgia.
Koyall cursed Seagraves, whereupon
the latter anted an empty box, on
whioh he sat, and struck Koyall on
the back of the head, knocking him
insensible Koyall lingered for some
time and died, and Seagraves fled, all
trace of him being lost. He came to
this city, and secured work at one of
the cotton mi Is below the city. A
few days ago Lieutenant B. F. Culp,
a shrewd and experienced officer of
the Athens Police, obtained a clue as
to Seagraves* whereabouts, and came
to this city on Monday night. A day
or two ago Seagraves injured Id- hand
in some way, knocked off work, and
also catae to the city. Consequet tly,
as Lieut. Culp was wailing a convey
ance to take him to Seagraves’ sup
posed /V reabouts, he saw his man
walking leisurely up the street. The
officer stepped behind a tree with his
' assistaut, and as Seagraves came up
seized him. He mftde no resistance,
and submitted quietly, trembling, as
the officer described it, ‘ until you
could hear him rattle in his boots.’
Hu was locked up, acd consented to
go wi’hout a requisition. He bad lit
tle to say. Lieutenant Culp left
for Georgia with bis prisoner last
night.
The above we get from the Daily
News, of Greenville, S. C., of Wed-
neoday. Mr. Culp, and bis assistant,
Mr. Hill have done a good work in
bringing Seagraves back, that be tuay
be made to stand trial for the crime
charged against him.

Death of Judge Walton B. Harris.
The death of this aged and estima
ble citizen took place yesterday morn
ing in Atlanta, where he was visiting
his son. The news of Judge Harris’
demise will cause general regret
throughout the community. He was
about seventy-eight yea.-sof age, and
during almost this entire series of
years ha has been a resident ot this
section. He truly was one of the
landmarks of the past, for most of the
men who lived and flourished in our
section as pioneers of the prosperity
and development which we now be
hold, have long since gone to their
homes. J udge Harris was one of the
few survivors. He tfas a most exem
plary citizen, and in evci y relation of
life proved to be a man of positive
character and gteat usefulness. Fcr
a long number ot years he was secre
tary and treasurer of the Mobile and
Girard Railroad Company, and has
always been connected with and deep-
■y interested iu the management of
that enterprise. At the last meeting
of the stockholders of that company
in the spring, Judge Harris, though
in a very feeble state of health, was
brought in and given a seat of honor.
The meeting pkssed resolutions ex
pressive of the esteem and high aj>-
preciation in which he was held. The
deceased was also during his active
life honored by his people with a seat
in the Senate of Alabama, where he
served faithfully, with honor to him-*
self and to his constituents. He was
a prominent member of the Independ
ent Order ol Odd Fellows and before
disabled by age held the high office in
that society of Deputy Grand Master
of the United States. The death of
such men causes universal lament, for
their places are net easily filled.
Judge Harris lenvi s an aged widow
one with whom the fl iwer and the
seared and yellow !• af of his life had
been passed—and who must now
walk alone till her time shall come to
join him. This aged wife will receive
the sympathy and coudoleuce of all
who knew her lionoi ed husband. The
remains arrived by the Atlanta train
last night, and were carried to bis late
residence in Girard.— Columbus

Damage liy Floods.
The damage by the rain of last
Thursday night and the consequent
floods, was very great. The gin and
packing house of Mr. John Calvin
Johnson, on Porter’s creek, two miles
below Watkinsville, was washed
away. Even the abutments of the
dam were washed away, as were also
the stone piers, four feet square, on
which the building rested. Tbe packs
ingvserew and tbc condenser were
carried away so completely that no
trace of them can be found. The gin
was found about 100 yards below.
About eight bides of cotton, which
belonged to customers, was washed
away.
Jacob R. McRce’s mill dam was
washed aw ay.
The nbu-tnents of Elder’s mill-dam,
about four miles distant, on Rose
creek, were carried away.
The abutments of Heory M. Fulli-
love’s dam, aud his workshop, * on a
little stream near High Shoals, were
cat tied away.
THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
The New York Journal ol Coni
merce, in a recent editorial on “the
political outlook,” says, among the
other things:
Wc believe llial a large majority
ol tbe people of the United States de
sire a change of parties i:i the nations
al administration. The partisan dem
ocrats of course are eager for it; but
theit is ample evidence in our corres
pondence from all sections of the
country that the large class of citizens
who are not attached to either party
look upon such a change as essential
to our national prosperty. And beyond
ibis, and of still geatcr political signi
ficance, not a few of the more
thoughtful members of the dominant
party arc the more or less expressing
their content with the signs that in
dicate the coining revolution. The
latter class have been trying for years
to effect reform within their own
organization. They have seen its
worst elements in control, not only
of party measures, but of public af
fairs. Political rewards have been
given to the notoriously corrupt and
incompetent for unscrupu’oos devo
tion to the leaders who thus main
tained their supremacy. The solid
sense and s atnd judgment of the best
men of tbe party have gone for naught
when weighed against political device
and trickery. Despairing of belter
administration without the overthrow
ot those who have used the republi
cans lor their own selbsh gain, the
men who should be at the front in this
organization are teady to accept the
change as the only' means ol effecting
tbe desired result.
“ With tbe non-partisan public the
feeling is one of intense desire for a
restoration of filial peace and unity
between the several sections of the
country, and especially between the
Northern and Southern States which
is essential to our pro.-perity, but
which it seems impossible to obtain
under the present ruling organiza
tion.”
Judge Reese says he woaldn’l give
a pinch of snuff for all the sentimental
statesmanship in the world. What
was it that caused Judge Reese to re
sign his jndgesbipjttstaflflr the war—
an act for which Georgians have
never ceased to honor him ? It is too
late tor him to affect Gradgrindiatn.
SUNDAY READING.
In lieu of editorial, we present our
readers something which they will
probably value more—extracts from
a sketch ot Gi orgo WhitefielJ, from
the International Review:
“ With no companion but his Bi
ble, and no object but the salvation of
sinners from the dreadful file which
he believed to be impending, over them
he plunged fearlessly into trackless
forests, over untrodden mountains,
across unfrequented seas, through!
treacherous morasses, and swamps
reeking with deadly miasma. Thir
teen times he crossed the Atlantic
Ocean, when steam navigation was
unknown and the perils of the deep
struck terror even into Wesley.
Almost as many times liu penetrated
the tremendous solitude of these ma
jestic forests which then .covered even
ot the easlenr portion of the Unit.d
States. Twice he preached through
Ireland, fourteen times he traversed
Scotland, one visit he made to Hol
land, one to the Bermudas, and pil
grimages innumerable into almost
every country in- England. * * *
* He was in the habit of speaking
in the compass of a single week, and
that was not once or twice, but contin*
uou-ly for years, generally forty, and
very many weeks sixty, hours per
week, and to audiences of many thous
ands of people.
* * * * John Wesley, during
a ministry of fitly two-years, traveled
over two hundred and fiity thousand
miles and pr* ached over forty thous
and set molts, making an average ol
about eight hundred every year.
Excepting Wesley, it is probable that
no other man ever preached so many
sermous «s Wt.itcfield. Indeed it
has been said, and the statcun ut
warranted by facts drawn
from sources so various and
trustworthy that they cannot be
questioned, that “if the time spent iu
travelling and some brief intervals of
repose be subtracted, his wholu life
may be said to have been consumed
in ihe delivery of one continuous and
almost uninteri opted sermon,’’
* * * * There was a general
complaint that all labor was practi
cally suspended at Whuefield’s ap
proach. Stores were closed, shops
deserted, factories abandoned, while
rude mechanics and unlettered labor
ers. neglected 'lie daily toil upon
which the support of their family de>
pended, could think of nothing but
hearing seimons or of discussing those
gr< at moral and psychological prob
lems which lead only into a labyrinth
for reasoning too intricate for even an
Aristotle or a Bacon. So great was
the enthusiasm aroused that people
sometimes followed him on foot for
sixty miles, merely 1o hear him
preach. They sat aud listened un
wearied until two o'clock in the morn
ing, regardless of the weather, and
unprotected sJve by the open heavy
ens. * * * *
‘ Whitefield was fully conscious of
his histrioifc powers, and cullivnud
them with an assiduity which would
have done credit to a disciple ol
Covent Garden or Di ury Lane. It
was not difficult for those who beard
him often to distinguish between
sermons which he preached for the
first time and those w hich be bad re
peated before; and both Garrick and
Foote d' dared that be never reached
his greatest perfection until lie had
preached a sermon forty tunes. Then
every sentence that was powerless
had been pruned off, every gesture
that did not speak to tbe eye was
omittej, and the great preacher stood
before his vast audiences the imper
sonation of a divine power, armed
with the wrath of Jehovah, or cloth
ed with the geu'le meekness of the
Son of man.
* * * * While preaching to
a congregation of'sailors in New
York he compared the state of the
sinner to a : hip about to be lost at
sea. * How the waves arise and dash
against the ship 1’ exclaimed he.
‘ The air is dark, the tempest rages!
Our masts are gone, the ship is on
her beam ends 1 What next ?’—
* The long boat 2 Take to the long
boat 1’ shouted the sailors naively,
sprirg ng to their feet.
‘ Ou another occasion, while ad
dressing a congregation among whom
were many learned and aristocratic
hearers, so powerfully did he expose
the peril of the sinner by describing
a blind old man, deserted by his dog,
and groping along with his eane, un
consciously drawing nearer and nearer
to a frightful abyss v thnt, just ns he
brought him to iu brink, the elegant
and polished Lord Chesterfield, for
getting the presence he was in, ex
claimed a'mid, 4 My God, he is gone!’
Sarepta Association.
The Sarcpla Baptist Association
met on Friday last, the 24th, with
Rehoboth church, in Elbert county.
The church letters did not' indicate a
flattering sta'e of prosperity among
the chinches, but rather a tendency
todecliue, with some few exceptions
Measmea were set on foot, however,
which, it is hoped, will counteract this
tendency. Only one hr two , of the
churches wire without representation.
The pecuniary contributions to the
general religious and benevolent en
terprises loeti red by the denomina
tion, were not as large aa the 5600
constituents of this body ought to
make. The reputation for hospitality
of the church and vicinity with .which
the sesaon was held did not suffer by
tbe manner in which the association
was entertained. The Christian Index
was represented by Rev. C. M. Irwin,
and jibe Baptist Banner by Rev, J. M.
Wood. Messenger.

THE CASEIN A NUTSHELL
[Washington Sunday Capital.]
The Hon. Lyman Trumbull, dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of Illi
nois was speaking at DuQuinn, in
that State, one day last u cek. In
the midst of his remarks a colored
man rose up and asked permission to
make an inquiry.
•Certainly, sir,' said Trumbull, 4 I
shall be glad to give you any infor
mation in my power.’
‘Will you tell me, then,’ said the
colrred man, ‘whether in your judge
ment the demoornlio candidate tor
president of the United States and
governor of Illinois deserved to be
elected in 1874 V
‘Frankly,’ replied Trumbull, ‘I do-
not think they did’
‘Then, sir.* pursued tho colored
man, ‘will you tell me why i he demo
crats deserve election in 1880?’
‘A good many things,’ responded
Trumbull.
'Will, you please name some of
them ?’ persisted the polite sou of
Ham.
‘Well, among o'her things,’- said
Trumbull, ‘The democratic party in
1880 has nominated for President
the man who saved the Union at Get
tysburg, and tor governor of Illinois
the man who wroto and reported to
the senate the constitutional amend
ment that made you a citizen and
voter!’
Tnis colloquy forms the most vivid
picture of the reversed relations of the
two great parties that we have yet
seen. It contains the kernel of poli
tical philosophy of the period.
