The Farmers’ Alliance, says the Jas per Hera’d, was intended, as its name indicates, to be a protective and ' useful association for the farmers. And if the orignal plan be carried out there ia»no doubt but that it wiU be of great berefit to them. That the t^maera have gti v ances there is no question. And it is well known that they are uot lacking in numbers and strength when they con elude to have these grievances redressed The farmers of Georgia pay nearly a hundred per cent, for supplies necessary in making their crops, where they buy on a credit Although composing majority of the people, they have less representation in the affairs of the gov ernment than any other class of citizens It is bu.t natural that they should de sire a m- re equitable arrangement of things. By organization tbe farmers can accomplish a great deal. They are uow organizing and getting things good working order, and when they be gin to tighten the ropes they are going io niako something pop. It is estimated that there are now over 12,000 subordi nate Alliances ia the Southern States alone, with & membership of 700,000. These men have a set resolution to bring about a better state of things, < r know the reason why it can’t, be done. The main evil to be guarded against is the admission of injurious members,of whom there are two classes. One class is composed of men who want to boss the whole thing and use the Alliance to boost themselves into office. This is the most dangerous class, and without close watching enough of them will get in to wreck the entire movement. An other class, more numerous but not so dangerous, are those men who join for the purpose of wrecking the merchants and dividing the spoils. This class of men have never done any good, and n’ever will if they join forty alliances. They are but so many clogs, and the sooner they are turned out the better it will be for the order. Those who won’t pay their honest debts or who practice Col. A. G. Morgan, of Kentucky, has leased New Holland Springs, and the watering*place will be opened for visi tors by J une 1. Greene county has a great many good farmers that live at home, are out* of debt and are gathering property every year. Fifteen hundred acres will be planted in watermelons between Fort Gaines and Coleman station. Two Mormon elders are making a four of Greene county but a-e meetini with a cool reception’. Rucker’s compress at Madison has compressed about 16,000 bales this sea son. It is thought that he will receive many thousands more next season. lj has been suggested that the name of Broad street, Gainesville, should be changed back to Lawrenceville, or some other name more appropriate than the one it now bears. Dr. J. H. Young, of Cartersville, has a small vial of oil of cinnamon which was brought from Ireland in 1815, and it seems to have'increasedjnjstrengtli as it grew older. Georgia, according to the report fpom tbe department of agriculture, has 112,261 head of horses, with an average value of $8503 each, and 152,647 mules with an average value of $97 89. An old lady on Neat Pippin’s place, near Woodville, Greene county, found several pieces of old Spanish coin under the house a short time ago. It is sup po6ed to have been^ bidden there years ago. Mr. Parnell, of West Po’nt, the great fruit raiser of that section, has leased 40 acres of land from Mrs W. B. Hig ginbothom for twelve years, and has planted thereof? about 20,000 choice peach and plum trees. Hon. Jas. M. Smith, so we are told is making arrangements to go largely into raising cattle. ■ He already has herd of some five hundred which be will increase to one thousand during the summer, and probably by next year no ranchman of the West can hoist of larger herd. As he does with every thing else he undertakes, Mr. Smith will doubtless make a success of this additional featurerto his farm and other enterprises. The farmers of Greene county are harrowing and leveling their Bermuda lands, preparatory to mowing them The yield of hay, on the bottom lands especially, is very large, and grass rais ing is proving a mist, profitable busi ness. There is a constant and good demand for the hav, which is of su perior quality, besides furnishing pasturage for any quantity of stock and cattle. The grass lands of Greene are as fine as can be found ia the South. ^ Bncklen’s Arnica Salve.

Art Goods etc. A Walk Through the Huslc House of Haselton & Dozier. . A reporter pf the B-W in passing the the music house of Haselton & Dozier, on Clayton street, was attracted by the clerks opening a large box which con tained a new piano, just received, and as it was brought from the box, Mr. Haselton remarked that it was the sec ond finest piano ever shipped to Athens. It was manufactured by Ivers & Pond, of Boston, with three pedals and made out of mahogany. The tune is very sweet. It is certainly a splendid in strument, and one that would grace any parlor. Goidg back to the rear of the store, Mr. Haselton showed us a new depart ure in the business, and something never before brought to our city. It is the art department of this large music house and is filled with art goods of every description, comprising a full stock of paints, oils and varnishes, In dia ink, porcelain, brass, wooden and paper placques, c ay on drawing paper and drawing instruments, sketching outfits, brushes, models etc. “We ex pect to make a specialty of art goods and enlarge it as the trade demands. We are soliciting orders, and have already received good orders from Washington and Madison and other neighboring towns. Special arrange ments will be made with art schools and orders will be filled promptly. MOULDING8. Our house has just received a large stock of new spring mouldings consist ing of Hard Corned Oak, Antique Oak, Silver Steeled,Carved Oak etc. We have also, an elegant line of gilt and bronz ed mouldings at prices lower than ever, frames fur pictures of all sizes, and at urices lower than ever offered in Ath ens, All of these goods are something needed by the people, and we are de termined to put the prices so that all can get them. Those wishing anything in our line, would do well to call.’’ The reporter was especially struck with the neatness of this large house. Ev< rything is in place. They are doing a splendid business, and it is foolish for people to send off after such goods as they keep, when they can get them here and at better prices.

ECHOLS A FREE MAN Emotional Scenes When the Verdict was Announced. THB COVINGTON TRAGEDY RE MAINS A MYSTERY. SUEING FOR A TOWN. THE HEIRS OF PEYTON COLBERT AFTER ORLANDO, FLA. •Dr. R. J. Sorrels, of Madison county, was in the city yesterday and will very soon visit Orlando, Fla., where he has a suit pending for nearly the whole town of Orlando, and is in a fair way of gettine a verdict in his favor. Mr. Peyton Colbert who died several years ago and was the grand-father of Dr. Sorrels, was a very wealthy man and owned lands in all the upper coun ties, besides .large interests in Florida. The lands were held by him in trust for his wife and Mr. Colbert could only sell her life interest in it with her con sent, provided the proceeds were rein vested. There is no record of Mrs. Colbert giving her consent,which should have been recorded with the deeds. The suit has stopped a great deal of building in Orlando, and one party, after paying part of th3 purchase money, refused to pay the balance on account of the suit. The other heirs of Mr. Colbert have giv en their claims to Dr.. Sorrells, and he has employed Messrs. Thomas & Strick land. together with a lawyer in Orlando, to prosecute the claims. It is bound to be a fortune sooner or later to the heirs of Mr. Peyton Colbert. Highest market price paid in cash for butter, eggs and chickens and all other country produce. Jo C.

Covington, Ga., March 30.—A hand some, dark-haired young man in the prisoner’s box—the court room hushed— the judge bending over to listen—the words, “not guilty”—tears of joy and an involuntary clapping of hands—the pris oner’s relaxed countenance as he steps down and embraces his sobbing mother— form the drama enacted in Covington this morning. Charles Echols is a free man 1 The case has excited interest oyer the entire country, not only because of the atrocity of the deed charged, but because of the youth and seeming inno cence of the prisoner. Of an excellent family, and of a refined nature, it seem ed impossible that Echols could be guilty of the death of T. H. Thomas, and the murderous assault upon I. E. Cohen last November, The trial began on Tuesday. Each day saw the court room packed with the friends of both sides. Flowers came from many relatives of the prisoner in* Georgia and Mississippi. Yesterday afternoon Judge Alex.- M. Speer began his argument.. He said he had been employed in many cases before this in defending the weak against the strong. He was bowed beneath the weight of many years, but had never been mere interested in a case than he had been in this one. He referred to the grief of Mrs. Echols, and had often told her that God would deliver her boy if he was innocent, and he believed it as firmly as he believed he was standing in the court room. Yesterday the judge charged the jury. When his poor old mother, bowed be neath this great grief, came into court leaning upon the arm of her older son, John, Hie young man was visibly affect ed; the nerves about the corners of his mouth twitched, the eyes filled with tears, and the young man bowed his head in his hands to hide the emotions that stirred his soul. This is the only time that Charlie Echols lias shown any emotion whatever. All the rest of the time he hail been cool and collected, wearing most of the time a boutonaire Upon the lappel of his coat. The case made out hy the defense was ■this: Echols left the Pitts house altout 4 o'clock, an hour before the murder oc curred, When the deed was done he was at h“me In bed. He carried no stick into the room ndr did he carry oneout. There was no club in the room before the mur der, and the man who swore this was a morphine eater, whose mind was warped and diseased, and hence he was liable to believe things that never occurred. The prisoner looked steadily at Judge Roney, as also did Miss Florence Newton, a beautiful young lady of Atlanta, who sat next to him, and who had been with him all during the week. This young lady, true to woman’s nature, firmly be lieved in the innocence of her cousin, and had never left his side since court first assembled until the court room was cleared to-day. . When the clrarge was concluded, the jury retired, and at 8:80 a. m. rendered the following verdict: “We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty.” A SCHOOL GIRL ENTRAPPED. A Widower of Forty-five Unites Himself to His Young Cousin. Fort Wayne, Ind., March 30.—A sen sation was caused here to-day when it leaked out that Maggie Isett, a pretty little girl, 14 years of age, had been mar ried Friday to William Robert Burnie, 45 years old. Tbe child was attending school and was persuaded by Burnie, who is a boarder at the house of her parents, to marry him, under promise of making her presents of dresses. Burnie is a brakeman on the Pennsylvania road, and has been married twice before. The couple were discovered to-day at an ob scure boarding house, and the girl-wife was taken home by her distracted moth er. Proceedings for a divorce will be begun at once. Burnie may be prosecuted for perjury for giving the age of the gir 1 as 19 years, in order to secure a marriage license. The girl was married in short dresses, and Rev. Dr. Northrop, of the First Baptist chjirch, who performed the marriage ceremony, is roundly denounc ed tor not making inquiries, and saving the girl from her fate. -Charges Against Colqnitt. Atlanta, Ga.,-March 80.—The Consti tution, in the course of its attacks on Senator Colquitt this morning, say6 that the appointment of Darnell as district attorney, Carries with it the retention of Colquitt Carter as clerk in’the office, and that “it is further rumored that the deal carries with it the retention of Col. John W. Nelms in office, as United States mar shal, until the expiration of his term—a year hence—a condition imposed by Sen ator Colquitt.” ; “It’s a lie from beginning to end. It’s a lie from the whole cloth, said Mr. Col quitt Carter, when the Constitution’s re port of “Colquitt’s Courtesy” was shown him.
