It has great capacity for work; beautiful smooth, and quiet movement, rapid execution, ccr tainty of operation, and delightful ease, that at once commends it above all others. The working parts are all steel; the bobbins hold 100 yards of thread; the stitch is the firmest of all the stitches made, neat and regular, and cau be regulated in a moment to sew stitches from an inch in length on coarse material down to the finest, so infinitesimal as to be hardly discernable with the naked eye, and with a rapidity rendering it impossible to count them as last as made ; it docs to perfection all kinds of heavy, coarse, plain, fine, or fancy needle-work with case, and far less labor than re- J uiied on other machines. It needs no commcn- ition, the rapid sales, increasing demand, and voluntary encomiums from the press, and the thousands of families who use them, amply testi fy to their undoubted worth as a standard and re liable household necessity, extending its populari ty each day. This popular machiue can be exam ined at the office of this paper. Agents Wasted by the company. Address them tor information. FAMILY SEWING MACHINE CO., 755 Broadway, New York, julylO 12t The Spelling Reform. The matter of spelling reform has been quite thoroughly aisCUSSed, lor ami against, before the State Educa tional Association of Virginia, in ses sion last week at Hampton. The re port a of a committee appointed to consider the subject was presumed on Wednesday. The history of the movement in England and in this Country was given, and it was stated that memorials had bieu Sent to the British Parliament and to the United States Congress, asking for govern mental action in iis behalf. Prof Gdd rsleve, of the John Ilopkins University, of Baltimore, and Dr. M. A. Newell, Superintendent of the Public Education lor Maryland, ar gued strenuously against it. Other prominent educationalists favored the movement. As an entering wedge towards the gradual adoption of the phonetic sys tem, the American Philosophical As sociatiou suggests the following slight changes in spelling. Ftrsr, Drop all silent letters,’espe cially silent e after a, short vowel, as in have, give, genuine, and a in eu when pronounced e short, as in head, wealth. Second, Write/ for ph as in such words as alphaoet, philosopher. Third, in words ending in l doub led, like shall, omit the last !, Fourth, Change cil when it Has the sound of t, as in lashed. There is reason to suspect, says the Philadelphia Record, that one of the most potent inspirations of the pho netic movement, which is evidently no longer in the hands of the shal low sciolists who started it, is to be found in the general discumfiture of the divines, lawyers, aud other gen tlemen of literary pursuits, all over the country, during the eras of the “spelling bees,” which were so popu lar a few years ago. While that epi demic raged many a learned college professor was vanquished by a com mon schoolboy iu the orthographic tournament. The amazing fact— long, known however, to editors and compositors—was revealed to an as tonished world that not a few of the really good aud great scholars of the country were, to put it mildy, very indifferent spellers. In these en counters little snips of hoys would go up head, and the big men who bad forgotton how to spell would shrink away chagrined. It is very probable that to the mortification iu those in fluential persons is due much of the vigor of the current formidable cru sade against the lexicographers. An exchange thinks the time will certainly come when man will go flying through the air. The time has already come—hut they are generally young men, and it requires an en raged parent and a front stoop<to help the business along successfully. “Heaven lies about us in our in- fancy,” says Wordsworth. He might have added that everybody lies about us when we are older grown.—Der rick. Grand Jury Presentments. We, the Grand Jury of the first week of the August terra of Polk Superior Courtmnke the following presentments, to-wit: Upon enquiry we find the roads of the county are in very good con dition with the following exceptions, viz : The Carrolton road from Ce dartown to district line; the road running by Oppert’s mill to district line; the Cedartown and Eoekma-t road in Fish Creek district; the Ce dartown road inside the incorporate limits of Rockmart; the road rnn- tiiug by I. N. Jones’ residence in the Vanwert district; also a bad place in the road near the corner of Wes ley Simpson’s lot near Rockmart. Tne Jury recommend that the com- missionersof their respective district have the above reads puts in good condition at once. The public buildings are in toler able condition. We find a leak in the court house roof, and as the roof is warranted for a term of years, we recommend that the Ordinary have the necessary repairs made. We es pecially commend the jailor, Mr. E. W. Clements, for the neat and cleanly order in which the jail is kept. The books of the different county officers as far as examined, are cor rectly kept. The reports of the Trea surer, Clerk and Ordinary, show the amount of money received aud distributed by them. By a special committee we have examined the Treasurer’s aud Tax Collector’s books of 1878 and find that the Tax Collector of 1878 is still due the county two thousand and thirteen dollars and fifty one cents with a credit of one hundred and six dollars end seventy cents to be deducted for insolvents and de faulters, and recommend that imme diate steps ho taken to have the same settled. We recommend that the magis trates comply more tully with the law requiring them to furnish the Tax Assessor with a full list of the tax payers in their respective dis tricts. We also recommend that Henry A. Edmondson be appointed Notary Public and Ex. Officio J. I', of the 1079 district of Polk county to fill the vacancy caused by the re signation of John Hutchings. We recommend that the following officers be paid the amounts oppo site their names to-wit: Joel Brewer, Ordinary,.... §G2 G5 W. G. Taylor, Sheriff, l«-00 E. W. Clements, Dep. Sheriff’, 13.25 E. P. Featherston, Bailiff,.... G.00 W. C. Knight, Clerk U 10 J. C. Williams, Bailiff, G.UO The jury are pleased to note the fact that crime is oil the decline, in our county, so far at least as our knowledge extends, wlijch we think highly complimentary to our people. We recommend that these pre sentments be published in the Ce dartown Advertiser, and that the editor be allowed five dollars for same. We extend thanks to Ilis Honor, Judge Simmons and Solicitor-Gen. Clements for courtesies shown onr body. VVilev C. Barber, foreman; Joseph II. Dodds, clerk; Fabins II. Hicks, Isaac A. Baker, David M. Hampton, William 51. Phillips, Thomas Dea ton, Augustus J.

Little Jolmnj-’s Story of Ole Gaffer. And now for a story about ole Gaf fer Peters : One day Jack Brily, which is the wicked sailor, swears and everything, he wasgoin by ole Gaffers house, and lie foun him digin a well, and a hoy was ptilin up the rocks in a bucket with a winlass. So Jack he giv the hoy 2 hits, and sed : “You go and git sum candy, and I’ll pull up for you till-von get hack,” and the boy done it. Then Jack he puts his ball dog in the bucket and let it down, and the dog it jump out in the well with Gaffer, which holered wild, aud the dog too. Then Jack he cot o’e Gafferses cat and pitch that down too, and the dog tackled the cat between Gafferses’ legs, i nd the cat it run up Gaffer like he was a tree, and all yellin’ like In- jens, there wasent never such a tight! Altera while Jack he let the buck et tlown and hauled ole Gaffer up with the winlas, lookin mity heat and his close tore had. Fore Gaffer cud get his breth Jack sed : “Tell y u wot, Gaffer, if I hadeut com? along v ude had a pretty rough time of it I g.-s, cos that boys goue for a other cat.” Then Gaffer he helped Jack git the dog out wi h had kild the cat, and Jack and the dog they went a way, and wen the boy come in site Gaffer he met him morn half wav and licked him til he was sick abed. —San Francisco Argonaut. lie blew into his gun to see if loading np was needed; The jury to a man agree That the gun blew just he did, Union Sunday School Celebration.

The bite rains have acted like a charm. The crops of cotton and corn have improved until they may be considered of the best for this old worn country.

No interest being manifested or exhibited in the way of enterprises. Manufactures over looked iu the main; hut little im provement iu any department of industry. The farmers arc in debt and dependent upon the merchant, who, alike with the farmer, is de pendent upon others, hut it is hoped and believed that the present abun dant crop will greatly relit vc the ex isting necessities.

WEST Was bom in Taliaferro county, Ga,, on the 20th day of October, 1808, moved to Cherokee Georgia, 10th January, 1830, and died at his residence in Polk county, Ga., on the Slat day ol Jnly, 1873, aged 70 years, 9 months and II days. For nearly half a century Maj. West had lived where he died, and the weight of his influence was always, during that long period, exerted in push ing forwaitt his views of those things which he consideicd right. It is impossible, with thq force of character possessed by Maj. West, to have lived so long at one place j|pd not leave the impress of his oyvu strong character on the people around him. Coming here, when the country was a wil derness, and inhabited by sa\’ages - he saw it graduallyjtumed into cultivated fields, and owned by high-toned Southern gentlemen—passing through a four years of civil war- years of terrible trial—and on through the fourteen years of terrible strife, more bitter, more trying than the war with flame and sYvord—and Maj. West comes through it all an honest man. The greatest good we can say of Maj. West—the greatest good we can say of any man—is, that he was’an honest man. After a personal knowledge cf a quarter of a century with him, the writer fails to call np a single act not in accord with the highest principles ot per fect honesty. In early life he was an educator, and while he abandoned this for the more independent pursnit, that of the ante-bellum Southern planter—he re tained his fondness tor books and general litera ture, and lew men were better informed in history, being made in his day. It was mainly, if not altogether, through his efforts that the famous school, presided over by that accomplished scholar and teacher, Mr. B. T. Moeely, was established. The good results of this one act cannot be esti mated in time, The most fortunate event in the life of Major West was his marriage with Miss Matilda G. Prior, daughter of Mr. Asa Prior, which occurred Ten children, seven of whom survive him, were the results ol this nhion. It is difficult to write or speak of Major West Without referring to pis wife—his help-meat in fact, as well as iu name, She who shared all his sorrows, as well as joys—who to the verv end, feeble as she is, ministered to his ueeds, and com forted his last hours as only a good, true and loving wife and woman can do. May He, who comforts the widow in her sorrow, grant to her dealing” years that joy and peace which she so eminently deserves and which the world can neither give nor take away. Major West had ont lived all of his early associ- ce except Mr. William Peek and Dr. E. II. Rich ardson, Sr., and he preceded them to this country. The Sparks, the Gibsons, the Whatleys, the Janes, the Priors, and Tomlinsons, all gone. Wo shall miss him. How forcible the reminder that “we of the earth, earthly," We miss the noble oak, ruthlessly -ent down by the axe of the woodman, shivered and torn by the hurricanes' blast, but* how mnch more shall we miss the strong man, strong in mind and frame, with whom we have been accustomed to interchange friendly greetings? To the aged and devoted wife, and to his chil dren, with most of whom the writer was raised, wc offer sympathy and condolence, and beg to lay this leaf on his new made grave. W. Communicated.
