A litvle son of Colonel Vincent, of Brunswick, tell from n chair a few 'days ago and broke hie arm. Governor and Mre. Colquitt h»v» The deadlock at Albany, the cap- *one to Toronto to n<t-od the Inter ital of New York State, still contin ties with no prospect In favor of any J particular candidate to fill the vaoan* cies caueed by the resignation of Senators Conkling and Platt. We have uo doubt but large tnme of money has changed hands for the Bake of attaining totes for favored candidates. It is impossible to get ut any correct view of the future, it is likely, however, Ahat the Demo crats will stand solid for their can didates, and mny |»osnibly eject one and maybe both. If such thing should come to pass, it would be the result of conscientious Republicans voting with the Democrats lor the purpose of obtaining i.djonrnmenf, and to stop the big expense the State is put to on account of Conkling and Platt. The Liquor Traffic. The following resolution! were adopted ^ the Methodist district conference in Savannah: WintuBAtt, The highest function of civil government is to pioiect the lives and property of its citizens; and whereas, a government that de rives a revenue from licensing n bus iucss that is destructive u> both life und property is false to its most su creit obligations ; and whereas, the liquor traffic, now conducted under cover of legal license, is the diiect cause of death to thousands and of the destruction of millions of dollars worth of property ; tberelore, tReiolved, 1. That the State has no moral right to issue license to rum sellers. Keaoltod, 2. That we do moat hear lily indorse the efforts now making to rid the statute books or the State of Georgia oi all Uws that license the sale o( spirituous liquors, aud their substitutions by laws that shall pro hibit the manufacture and sale of intoxioating drinks as a beverage. Jtesolixd, 3. That we pledge our selves to do all in our power to fur ther the movement now in progress to close the saloons by law, and we urge onr people to rally to this work, and persevere in it until not one barroom remains to tempt our sonB and to shame our civilisation. Good Move. We lire glad to see that the farm ers are awakening to the necessity of making their lands self-sustaining, Scarcely a week passes, but wliat some one writes in the newspapers of the absolute necessity of the planters of the South raising more corn and meat and less cotton. For some years this fact seems to have been understood by all to a greater extent than by the majority of farmers them selves. Thomas county bus made a move in this direction which we hope will be taken up by every county iu the State. In the last issue of the Thomaaville Times we notice a long letter by Mr. J. I. Parker who is ad mitted to be one of the most success- ful and intelligent farmers in that county. He udvooates in the most convincing lunguage the necessity ol raising more corn, bacon and other produce and less cotton. His suc cess is a living demonstration of the advantages of such farming. .He proposes that there shall be a meet ing in every count? in Georgia on the 4th of July, and that at this meeting adopt the lollowing resolu tion; Resolved 1. That we, the farmers of county, from this, the 4th day of July, 1881, declare our independ ence of kiug cotton and of the North and West for our daily rations; that we will for the next 99 years, or du ring our natural life, try, by the help of Almighty God, to raise plen ty of the necessaries of life for our iatnilies and county, and our beasts aud all creeping things iu county; that we will hencefoiMi aud forever S lant only ooe-hulf the cotton we ave been planting, and furthermore, we biod our heirs and executors uud administrators to the same course. Resolved 2. That we, the farmers of county, in convention assem bled, request the merchauts, and all others friendly to the cause of iude peudence of king cotton and the North, on and after one year from this date neitbeir to aid or abet in any way, any man, without regard to race or color, or previous condition in the over production oj cotton. Resolved 3. That our county pa pera publish these proceedings re questing all papers friendly to the welfare of mankind to copy. | national Sunday School Convention.

G. M. O'Brien, as follows 120 (his year. Mr. Brauiblette, uu elderly man living near Dalton, was horribly gor ed by a hull last Tuesday, and his reovery ts doubtful. Miss Mollie Whitaker, one of the recent graduates at LaGrange, was married the day after commence ment, in the chapel of the college, by th; l'rinc ; pal, to u gentleman named Mutthews, of Alabama. The Franklin News says that the other day t ro geuthmen were walk ing along down by the river, und they saw un old hen tending her chicks, when, to their surprise, a rab bit came running along through the flock. The hen sprang upon it und killed it. EUOEOR/ drtO.ri y •ut- e bet rtf* Bulloch Banner: -‘We learn W. II. McLean, Esq, whoiB the Notary Public in the Forty-eighth district, said the oilier day that he wus Mag istrate in that district for twenty years before the war, and there were not us many cases on his docket du ring the whole of thut time us there has been ia the past six months.” Brunswick Advertiser •.•.ltd Appeal: "Friday looming Ned Style*, living near No. 1, Macon and Brunswick Hailroud, was shot by Constable Levy whilst attempting to urresc him. We await the verdict of the Coroner’s jury and evidence solicited before making further comment! Ned is a brother of the notorious Clarence Fort, und bears a bad reputation, lie was charged with cow stealing.” Early peaches undoubtedly pay. Mr. Sneed,of Jonesboro, is shipping peaches to New York ataix e^o dol lars per bushel. Harmon Ik Moses, ofTennille, shipped nine ci lies to Savannah las- week, which w. re sold for twenty live cents a peucli. Up to hat Monday. Mr. Humph. of Mar shallville, had shipped two hundred and flfiy crates of peaches, and wiP ship two hundred more next Monday. Of those sold the returns show an average of twenty-four to twenty- eight dollars per bushel. Wiregrass Watchman : “A corres pondent writing ns from llazlehurst reports the shooting cf a young man by a young lady. Mr. Thomas Crapps, while in company with a young lady, whose r.ame is not given, at Town’s Bluff, on the Altumaha, on the 11th inst., was approached by Miss Lizzie Wheeler, and ordered by her to turn loose the young lady with him, which he did, at the same time starting to run, supposing her to be merely jesting, when she (Liz zie Whesler) fired on him with a pis tol, the ball entering just under the left shoulder blade and lodging near the surface of the skin on his left breast. The services of Dr. P. H. Hall were secured, who pronounced it a miraole that Mr. Crapps was not killed. Miss Wheeler claims that the shooting was accidental, while Mr. Crapps is inclined to the opin ion that it was purely intcntioual.” Peculiarity of the Year 1881. "How much land da you cuhivutel’ I planted this year over 500 acres and I ulwuys plant plenty of com to do me, and iiuve always, except one year, had hundreds and sometimes thousands of bushels ofoorn for sale. My cotton crop ; s wh.it I call my a plus. If the price is high, all the ter for me, and if low I am ssfi never have to buy a y bacon, I raiiw ii all ut home, aud it is cheaper and batter than I can get anywhere. Have you unv corn for sale this yeur ? 1 have been selling it all along. Why during the past three weeks I have sold about 1,000 bushels, and much ol it to farmers richer than I am, and for this I get from 75 to 85 cents per bushel. You regard good reliable labor and plenty of it the one thing needful for the Georgia farmer ? "Yes sir; while 1 confess we need more labor, there are many other things that are hurting our people- worse thun a scarcity of labor. I re fer to planting too much oottou und using any commercial mannres. I do not use a pound of it myself und only ane or two of my tenants use it. The use of guano, it is true, stimu lates the lund uud snake* it produce more for a year or two, but it soon so impoverishes the lund that it will hardly sprout uow.pt us. 1 would not haul guano home for it and b,- compclled to use it on my most val- uble lund." The Cartersville Express makes this sta ement; "Early this morn ing a cavalcade of men flled Into Roberts’ stables, and as strttol Bad carbines, it was instantly aupp<Wd to be a reveouayparty. U|Au inquiry, We learn that Milton Biumlelte Sher iff of Gilmer county, and Christie Greer, son of the County Clerk, were the only prisoners, and that they had been brought by Deputy Marshal Keith and posse Irani their homes upon n warrant of intimidation- From the Deputy Mursbal we get the lollowing story : Mr. Daniel B. I’anter, a prominent and esteemed citizen of the county, uud who was an opponeht of the Sheriff*in his last race, swore out a warrant against young Christie Greer for revenue vi olations. He was curried before a Commissioner and bound over. In a day or two young Greer goes before a Justice ol tne Peace and swear a warrant for perjury in the above case against Punter, who wus urrested by Bramlette, the Sheriff, and kept in jail a few days until it was ascer tained that the Justice by whom he was committed had no jurisdiction' Then Mr. A. D. K<d h issued u war rant for Bramlette and Greer lor in timidation of United States witness es. Before the party left Ellijuy a formal demand was made by the Or dinary of the county for the prison ers, which wus ignored by Hi#.

From tight to left aud left to right it rends the same. Eighteen divided by 2 gives 9 us a quotient; 81 divided by 9 gives 9; if divided by 9 tbe quotient contains a 9 ; if multiplied by 9 the product contains two 9s; 1 und 8 nre 9 ; 8 and 1 are 9; if the 18 be placed under the'81 end added the sum is 99. If the figures be added thus, 1, 8, 8, 1, it will give 18. Reading from left to right it is 18, and 18 is two-ninths ot 81. It also rends the same upside down, the first year capaplc of being so read since 1691. Perhaps this was the reason why Mother Shipton selected this year as a convenient one for the ■ end of the world.

With such a publication in the bands of every farmer and planter in the South ern -States, there would be a more intel ligent cultivation of the soil and diver sion of crops, nnd less complaints of bad tunes.

Corn uud cotton growing aud looking fine. We Iiuve had u few days of extremely l.ot weather, tiue for harvesting and kill ing grass. Tite farmers made good use of the time. Wheat about all eut and grass about nil nlniu. Won't be long till un poor laborers will have a little recieatiou. Listen! Me thinks I heard somebody any something about the no fence law. Yes, we want it \Ye have the snme feeling iu that direction the l*oy hid when he was aft jr the groundhog. We are obliged to have it, for we want to raise corn nnd lot* of it—don't w»nt to take time to make rails out of such tim. tier ns we have here- for siuce wo quit rai ing that article we have grown poor er year after year. Have not scarcely horse fit to ride or drive out in company. What few little porkers running around w -ulit answer very well for railnud spikes. All other stock in proportion Kvtn to neap grease has played out. Au old lady came over to mv house tho other day in sea.cli of that stuff. “Why," says I, “I haven’t beard of that thing in no long I had nearly forgotten the name." ‘ Well," says she, "I thought perhaps you had some bones or meat peelings that. I might get enough to make one pot lull." "Did you uot know," says I, “that this Western meat had no bones except a few rib bones, and against they ure cooked and picked over half dozen times or more you might put them in a vessel and boil them a week and you could not raise a p>rticle of grease as large as a humming bird's eye, aud se far as meat peelings are concerned I do not suppose there is enough in the district to make enough >oap to do an ordinary day'a washing.” "Good lackey day!" says she, and took her leave. I don’t know what kind of glasses your correspondent, T. N. D.. looks through when he sees it is better for the farmers of North Georgia to raise cotton than corn. Must be a pair of double' barrel ones he has. If so. I want him to take an old fashioued single-barrel and take another peep, and if lie can't see It in another light I will do a little figuring for him sometime in the future. Well I killed a snake too, but not as large as tbe one you read about. He was two feet long and about onu and one- fjturth iuch iu diameter, except one piac- •>nc place in the centre it wus like the Indian’s ash cake, big ep and high round- I lucked him in half ju-t iu the rear of that place and out hopped a little toad He gave a little repeal and said by his actions he would be stepping while time was good.
