Somebody tried to defeat the sale of the bond?. But his little effort didn't work worth a cent. It was a mere dash ia .the pan, and after all the bouds sold at par. As to who it was, and his motive no one could well tell, unless the books of the New York papers were open to i ublic view. It matters 1 ttle who the fellow was since his little game didn’t win. Yerteiday Mr. Asbury H. Hodgson, chairman of the finance committee of the Council, received a telegram from Mr. Fletcher Hurt, of New York, stat ing that an advertisement had appeared in the New York papers advising ali p rsons who had any idea of buying Athens Water Works bonds to first in- v, siigate by wbat authority the bonds vi-re issued. Mr. Hodgson telegraphed Mr. Hurt that the city of Athens had nothing to t u ccal in the matter, and invited thor ough investigation. Alesir< Farson, Leach & Co, who be light the b< nds, w ere in full posses, sion of all the facts, examined into the authority for the issuance thereof, and decidt d that everything was all right. They then bought, and were well ploastd with their bargain. 1 he Water Works bords were issued with full authority, they were issued f.-r the purpose of erecting a new system of Water Works to supply the city with w ater un 1 do away with the inadtquat> and unhealthy supply at present giver the city, and if nothing more seriou than this little advertisement gets i the way of the Board ot Water Commis- s’oners, it will not be many months be for; that new systsm is in operation.

Thursday afterncor, a B nnkb re porter had a convert ation with Wm. Johnson, the condemned murderer io the Ul&rke county jail. William has Eiven up the idea of starving himself to death. He says that two or three min isters have visited him since being re- sentenced and prayed for him. When asked if he did not think bis sentence a just one, the prisoner re plied : “I do, according to the evidence in the court house. But that was not true. I bad only been at work on the G., C. & N. four days when I killed the man. We were gambling, and he had won a dollar from me. He took that, and said he vrould win me re. We quar reled, and he was about to pul a pistol from his pocket when I shot him with a shot-gun ” ‘•Where is your home ?” “1 came to this place indirectly from Evansville, Ind. I came fio<n there with some horse drovers. I have lived in indiana all my life, except two years. ’ How old are y«u f ” "Twenty-seven yean old. That is, 1 will be next month.” Do you hope to have yonr sentence commuted to life imprisonment?” Yes sir. I jrould be very glad if it could be. If the people knew how the killing happened they would sign the petition. 1^ have never been into a scrape of any kind, before I got into this one. Have always tried to obey the laws.” “Well, if the sentence is not com muted, bow do yon feel abont it?” "1 feel mighty bad. I know I wil have to bang, and the law take it- course. I don’t blame anybody with it. I read my Bible every day, and pray for the forgiveness of my sins, hope to be ready when the lime comes.” ‘‘Have yon any appetite no v?” “Yes sir. 1 eat my meals regularly, and sometimes get hungry.” “Do yon sleep well?” 1 Yes, sir, I sleep most all night every night, but am troubled a great deal.” This was the manner in which the condemned man telked yesterday. If his sentence ia not commuted to life imprisonment, he will hang on the third of next month. The banging will take p’aoe witbii the jail walls, and will be strictly pri vate. saas tint A turns EmSSE’* OTESBAT tt&^UVjEfc MAY M. 1832 ■ ■-as., aam■■■■-■ akjmmaws— ■■r^agr; A SAD STEP ’ HE GOES TO JAIL And Will stay There sixty Days.

As we go southward the lands become constantly drier and more parched. In most of the counties no r sin has fallen the past week and at many points for more than a month.

Cotton has come up poor (y and shows had stands on account of the drought. Corn has stood in want of rain better, bat is turning yellow in some places Fruit still promises a fair crop, but in a few cases is reported to be drooping for want of moisture.

At twelve o’clock the bridal party ar rived at the church, and as the wedding march was played, marched up the central Isle to the ohancel. First came Messrs.
