The Methodist Conference of Georgia have established a mis sion among the Israelites of this State. Five millions of dollars are in vested in gold mining in Georgia, the profits thereon being satis factory. Senator Brown has introduced in the Senate a bill to appropriate 8530,000 for the improvement of the Savannah river. Chicago has secured the meeting of the next National Republican Convention. Everybody else can stand it if Chicago can. After all the usiial exaggeration about the alarming failure of the cotton crop, it is now thought that the crop will reach six million hales. According to the Constitution over 5,000 partridges were teeii in Atlanta Saturday and the day be fore. Though never so plentiful before, they brought 15 cents straight along. Georgia has three thousand five hundred and ninety-three manu facturing establishments, in which a capital of $20,672,410 is invest ed, and yet a thousandth part of the available water-power is still unimproved. John Williams, the negro mur derer.of night watchman Allen, of Yaldcsta, is still at large. Neither of the two men arrested at Dawson and Americas proved to be the one wanted. An incendiary touched his match to a pile ot inflammable material beneath Bass & McKin- nou*s store, in Tliomasville, Fri day, but the flames, were extin guished before doing much dam- age. A gentleman studs a poem to the Augusta News with the follow ing note: “I hope you will do me j the kindness of excusing the errors in my manuscript.” The editor replied: “I have excused all the errors. In fact I have excused the entire poem.” The cashier of a Western bank was recently blown away by a cyclone and has not been heard from.

General Longstreet has no more success in wrestling with cotton futures than with the Democratic party. Judgement of $4,500 against him, in “a fictitious pur chase and sale of cotton through a broker” is one of his Christmas gifts. How Protection aids the labor ing men may he illustrated by reference to the fact that in the last 24 years their wages have in creased only 10 per cent, while the necessaries of life, under the war tariff, have advanced 33 per cent But still the organs of the enor mous monopolists that have been fostered at the expense of the peo- yle have the cheek to cry out that tariff reform is against the inter ests ot the laboring masses. Augusta News: Judge Story once told a fried that the Justices of the Supreme Court were ascet ics, and denied themselves wine except in wet weather. Then bethinking himself that the words were too severe a tax on human creduality, he added: “What I say abouut the wine, sir, gives you our rule; but it does sometimes happen that the Chief Justice will say to me, when the cloth is re moved, ‘Brother Story, step to the window and see if it does not look allowed for meals like rain.* If I tell him that the sun is shining bright, Judge Marshall will. sometimes reply, ‘All the better, for our jurisdiction extends ov r so laige a territory that the doctrine of chances malies it certain that it must be raining somewhere? ” ncunneels st.

The Pestmaster.General has i* sued a circular to the postmasters ordering them to take three-cent stamps in exchange for stamps of ether denominations. Three-cent it imped envelopes will also be taken in exchange. Several Northern people have engaged board in Camilla for the wiuter, and more will come if gjod rooms can be secured. The Clarion is clamoring for a new hotel. - Thousands of people in the South would be benefited by the passage of Senator Brown's bill authorizing the tree distillation of fruit; but the Whiskey Ring will hardly consent to its success. This will be gall and wormwqod to some of our Representatives. A case was tried recently in Jefferson county, Georgia, against a gentleman who invested his wards money in confederate bonds. They sued him for it and the jury found for the wards to the amount of what the confeder ate bonds were worth at the time the investment was made. Gen. Clark, Clerk of the House admits that he is noton a bed of roses because Congressmen can not understand that it is not pos sible for him “io divide twenty- four officers among' thirty-eight States and give every State two or three.” There is a fly in every ointment pot, General. Experts say Broad River at Anthony Shoals, Ga., has a vol ume of 19,000,000 cubic feet of water per minute, and its velocity is 175 feet oer minute, its fall in a mile and a quarter being 92 feet. The horse-powsr is ^calculated to be 37,286, while Lowell, the finest developed water-water in the United States, has only 16,000 horse-power. Have you something to do that you find hard and would prefer not to do ? Then listen to a wise old grandmother. Do the hard things first, and get over with it. If you have done wrong, go and confess it. If the garden is to be weeded, weed it first and play afterward. Do the thing you don’t like to do first, and then with a clear conseigj^ttyTiierest.' —Three rather remarkable ac cidents happened near Quitman last week. Mrs. James E. Young, a prominent lady of that vici nity fell on the stairway of her resi dence and was seriously injured for life. Mr. J. J. Baldrick had his horse to run away with him, was thrown from his buggy and severely hurt Mrs, T> J. Patrick and her fifteen-year-old son were driving iii a one-horse wagon when the mule took fright and ran away. Both were thrown out and fatally injured. The premium of $250 offered by a guano companv for the largest yield of cot,ten on one acre of giound, fertilized with their gu ano, has been awarded to J. D. Ray, of Coweta county, who made three bales on one acre. D. T. Turner, of Henry county, was awarded one ton of guano for the largest yield of cotton on one acre by the use of the smallest quanti ty of fertilizer. He put 200 pounds of guano to the acre and made 567 pounds of lint cotton. Some members of Congress are much exercised over the question of Mormonism. It seems to be a growing evil, and which will have to be dea t with summarily. The Mfcimens Influence. Why should not women receive the highest advantages of educa tion 2 Compare her mind with that of man. Does she not pos sess the same thinking faculties of man ? Is 6he not as capable of contending with life’s adversities ? Can she not better stand the test of temptation than man ? Why is the world satisfied with a plain education for woman ? It is fallacy not easily understood, for in woman lives the spark of in tellect as brilliant as in man. Let us direct our attention to fact which is brought before us in our career through life. Let us visit a home where we see a mother whose mind gave to this home culture and refinement, We behold her preparing her off springs for the great battle of life which is awaiting them. For it is not the father who moulds the character of the child for its future destiny; to the mother God has given this great blessing, the influences the character of the character of the babe yet unborn by the thoughts and desires which are her innerself. The mother of the great Nepoleon, while aecompanxring her husband upon the battle-fields, was form ing in her son that spirit which caused his name to strike terror to the nations, and caused crowns to crumble in the dust. When this wonderful man began his stormy career his words \y-ere. “I am indebted to mother for my physi cal, intellectual and moral train ing; it is she who has made me what I am.” Wnen the dark cloud of infidelity enwrapped France, and the nation presented but a mass of sin and degradation he exclaimed that France, needed nothing so much as good mothers to regenerate the nation. Let woman then reflect upon those great duties which the Creator has intrusted to her.- Visit the home of the young women just from school, with that plain education which the world judges sufficient for her. She makes her dtbut into society, be comes fascinated with life’s gaye- / ties, too often becomes enchanted with the ball-room. As time passes, she assumes j.he responsi bilities of a wife and a .mother, with that nelfle emotion of the naan who sees there the food for the helpless babe. Let woman then consider the great responsibilities which her position demands. I quote here from a sermon by one of the ablest divines of the Methodist Church. “Women are the moulders of society, men are what women would have them be. Show me the women in any community and I will tell you the character of the men.” And if these for cible words be true, she can at once see the vast influence she has upon the world. DOJi’l' 60 ;W«ST. What On« wha Is There Says of it! liberal spirit ; as a pleasure, not yet totally unfitted by her lack^of|a§A4isagre.efibIe duty ; but as an -preyiqas-tUfti^ing^feF ^g^great duties now r to devolve upon her. What kind of qualities can we expect to be transmitted to chil dren by such mothers as these, whose time has been spent thus with a few years at school and a greater number in pursuit of the pleasures of life ? Woman need* not a common school education merely, but that intellectual cul - ture which will develop her think ing faculties, which will prepare her mind for the investigation of the most intricate branches of science, and with these faculties she will impart to her child sources of happiness and honor to himself and the world. I have alluded to the attraction of the ball room, and I would guard you against this evil and enticing pleasure, because it weakens the desire fof intelllectu- al attainment; few greater evils have ever been introduced to the world than this, which has blasted the purity and virtue of many a fair woman. Do not think when you are in the embrace of the waltz, dancing -o the time of a weet music, when, your breast heaves with animal excitement and yon feel your partner’s heated breath upon your flushed cheek; do not think when vou feel the increased The Local Paper.. The Chicago Tribune, one of the leading papers of the West. tells a great deal of truth in a few words in the following article: V hat tells so* readlily the stand ard of a town or city as the ap pearance of its paper ? And its youth or its age:.can as well be determined as by a personal notice. The enterprise of its citi izens is depicted by its advertise ments, their liberality by the look* of the people. Some papers show a good, solid, healthy foun dation, plethoric purse, and i well-to-do appearance generally; others show a striving to contend with the grasping thousands around them, trying to wrench out an existence from the close- fisted community around them. An occasional meteoric display in its columns shows what it can do if i r had the means, but it cannot continue its extensive work until support comes, which ought to readily be granted. A newspaper is like a church; it wants fostering; then it can reflect credit on its location. Take your home paper. It gives you more news of immediate interest than New York or other papers; it talks to you when other locali ties belie you; it stands up for your .rights; you always have a champion in your home paper, and those who stand up for you should certainly be well sustained. Your interests are kindred and equal, and you must riss or fall together. Therefore, it is to your interest to support your home paper; not grudgingly, but in a 'IBS for Ol hoerat, ° utlt y Paper S2 a Tear Mormon elders have even assum- presure of his arm that you are in ed a defiant aspect—and as things j the embrace of honor and respect, are so astonishingly increasing in j This confidence but leads frequent- members, we may expect a war- ly, however, to greater evil, like resentment of any interfer ence. Indeed they have so ex pressed themselves; and it is highly important that the Govern ment should take forewarning sal be forearmed. Certain it is that Mormonism will have to be dealt with sooner or later; and like all ills the sooner the better. No, there is no true love born here, for deep down in the heart of every true man the real desire is first for purity and virtue in her whom he makes his wife. How many of those who are lovers of the ball-room, can gaze upon wo- iqan’s bosom, not with the thoughts of the sensualist, but investmenUHiat will amply puy the expenses. Tr«*a«rer Speer’s Report. Savannah Nevre. The annual report ef State Treasurer Speer contains several interesting items. The report shows the finaneiol condition of the State on September 30,18S3. The amount in the Treasury, October 1,18S2, was $690,472 15. The amount received from Octo ber 1,1882, to September 30, 1883, was $1,327,051 65 making a total of $2,017,523 60. The disburse ments from October 1, 1882 Io September 30,1883, were $1,378,- 381 31. The balance in the Treas ury, October 1, 1883, was $539,- 139 38. The largest amount re ceived from any one sonree was $300,000 as rent for the Western and Atlantic Railroad. From the general tax $779,889, 75 were re ceived ; from the liquor tax, $49- 143 88; from fees of inspectors, $59,412 82; f rom tax on railroads from d8<p to / 1883, inclusive, 841,267 75 ; from tax on pistols, $1,147, 50, an? from the hire of convicts, $25,000. Of the disburse ments $556,370 were applied to the public debt account, $146,031 68 to the support of the lunatic asylum, and $60,00 to the enlorge- ment of the asylum, 8278,021 03 to the support of schools, $12,009 to the deaf and dumb asylum, and to the purchase of artificial limbs $45060. The above are of course only some of the principal receipts and disbursements. . The debt statement shows the amount of the bonded debt to be $9,454,635, on which annual in terest amounts to $633,495 40. The estimated receipts for the year 1884 are $1,241,000, and the estimated disbursements $l r 391.000. The number of insurance com panies which lias made the re quired deposit of $25,000 is forty- eight. Colnmbu* Enqnirer-Sun. We saw the following extract from a letter from a most reliable farmer, who formerly lived in Talbot county, dated Arkadelphia Ark., December 15th; addressed to Messrs. - George P. Swift Son, of this city. The gentleman is thoroughly reliable, and his opinion is one entitled to credit and respect, especially by those Jeon templating .leaving Georgia and Alabama seeking homes in Texas Arkansas and other western states with the expectation of bettering their condition: “If all those farmers in Georgia or Alabama could *take a peep over here into Arkansas and Tex as they would never think of com ing out here to live, as it is the most puffed up country on earth and more dissatisfied people in the way of farmers than I have ever seen any where during the greater part of my life, while .. lived in old Taibot .county, Ga. which was for more than forty years. For example, I tried to buy a farm pretty well improved containing 340^acres, and the price asked me was $4,000, With the best cultivation on this place it only made seven bales of cotton and three hundred bushels of corn this year and nothing more. The taxes on this place are sixty dol lars a year. Other places near here and in Texas are rated in the same proportion with no improve ments worth noting.” We know the gentleman from character, and we consider his opinions valuable, as they give the true state of facts in the country al they really exist. We have always believed if the people of Georgia and Alabama would use the same economy, same industry and deny themselves- as t y J.ire compelled to do in seeking new homes in Texas and other western states, they would get rich in half the time and live much better, and no doubt be happier. We are convinced that a great deal of immigration west is induced by bad management and debt, and people leave to rid themselves of this responsibility, which they; hould meet and face with indus try, perseverance and economy, and “Make us rather bear those ills we have, than fly to others that we know not of.

Tjj Cure for Drunkenness. There is a prescription in use in England for the cure of drunken ness, by which thousands are said to have been enabled to recover themselves. The recipe came in to notoriety by the efforts Gf Mr. John Vine Hall, commander of the Great Eastern steamship. He had fallen into -such habitual drunkenness fhat his most earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailing; at last he sought the advice of an eminent physician, which he followed 'aithfully for several months, and at the end of that time he had lost all desire for liquor—although he had been for many years led captive by a most debasing appetite. The re cipe, which he afterwards pub lished, and ~by which so many drunkards have been assisted to reform, is ss follows: Sulphate of iron, 20 grains; magnesia 40 grains; peppernlint 44 drachms; spirits of nutmeg; 4 drachms. Dose one tablespoonful tirice a day. The National Greenback organ, at Washington, has nailed Ben Butler’s name to the masthead for President, and the currency reformers are ia meet at the National capital in May to make the situation lively for the other parties.
