We learn a train for the accommo

Supply trains will run principally be

dation trains between Jackson and
Macon.

19th of July, to nominate a caddidate

Ordinaries Court
The following business was transac
ted in the Ordinaries court last Mon
day, which statement hag been kindly
given us by his Hoijor Judge Carmi
chael.
Letters of administration was grant
ed Jas. Mc.Vichael on the estate of
Ghitta McMichal deceased.
Clerk of the Superor Court obtained
letters of administration on the estate
W. 11. Whitehead.
Will of IF. B. Hark ness admitted to
record and letters testamentary issued
to Z. F. Harkness nominated execu
tor.
Thos. J. Williamson was qualified
as executor of the last will of Nathan
C. Williamson. There will likely lie n
low suit over this property. Nathan
Williamson was married twice, and the
life estate left his widow is in posses
sion of two chilldren by his last wife.
Now conies the nominated executor
and makes applacation to administer
on this estate, there being other heirs.
He also learn from the judge, that
a counter petition in reference to the
stock law, has been presented him
with 70 names, prill, ipally from Worth
ville district; but on examining the
tax digestonly 27 of them proved to lie
free holers, while the law requires 50:
The petition was returned and they
have until to-morrow to get up the re
quisite nnmher of qualified petitioners.
There are some under the impres
sion that a counter petition puts astop
to an election. And so it does, unless
the "no fence” men can get up an ad
ditional petition of 25 names, and on
tiling the same in the Ordinarie's office I
it passes beyond his jurisdiction, and
he is compelled, under the law, to or
der an election and let the question be
determined at the ballot box.
If none but free holders can petition
for or against an election, why do you
alio tv non-free holders to vote no-the
question ? It seems to u that if he is
allowed to vote, he should also he a
qualified petitioner. We have some
strange as well as unjust laws.

Venuor’s Prediction,
Out of the thirteen long-range and
general predictions which I have given
forth and caused to be published in the
leading newspapers of the day, and in
my yearly almanacs between the years
of 1875 and. 1882, only two have been
seriously “out” or astray with respect
to the summer season. The statement
is no* an empty assertion, but on the
contrary one that is capable of proof.
For the verification of these predictions
does not lie in my own translation of
them, hut in each case has been gath
ered from the telegraph reports of the
day, and just as these have appeared in
the daily journals in which the predic
tions have been published. Having
said this much on bygone forecasts I
desire now briefly to give a brief but
comprehensive outline of what, in my
humble opinion, are likely to be the
most remarkable features of the sum
mer and autumn of the year 1882.
First—A season that will well merit
the designation of coo! to cold and wet
generally. Not that there will not he
terms of summer wormth and even in
tense heat for periods, but rather that
these last will appear in the retrospect
ns of but con-parative insignificance,
or as the exceptions to the general
rule.
Second—The season will be marked
by not only great precipitation, but by
a mugginess of atmosphere, generally,
caused by the reeking condition of the
earth and the long continuance of
clouded sky. This will result in peri
ods of extreme sultriness and heavy
weather, during which tliunded anti
hail-storms will occur. In otherwords,
the summer will be reverse of clear
and dry.
Third—There is likelihood of June
and August frosts in Northern, Wes
tern and Southern sections, and a gen
eral cold wave may occur toward mid
summer.
Fourth—The iitiUurm months will
continue moist. September will prol
ably give rain* anti Hoods in Western
Canada ami in Western and Southern
sections of the United States. October
will he much the same, with early cold
and snow falls. November will lie-in
the winter of 1882 and 'B3—a winter
likely to he memorable on account of
its exceptionally heavy snow-falls and
very cold weather over the whole north
ern hemisphere. That "a cold and wet
summer is invaribly followed byacolil
and stormy winter,” is a truth now so
well proven and borne out by the te—
timony of past records that we cannot
lightly put it aside; and if we have
pood and sufficient grounds for pre
dicting the former—as we must assur
edly have at this time—it is but right
that we should warn the people of the
hitter in good season.
Fifth and last—The approaching
season will probably be the first of a
couple of wet summers, and, as 1882 is,
so is 1883 likely to be. But here we
must stop for the present.
Henry G. Vknxor.
Reports come to us, says the Atlan
ta Herald, that General Robert Toombs
is confined to his homo in Washing
ton, Qa., by reason of his own personal
affliction and the condition of Mrs
Toombs. For some time the eye-sight
of General Toombs has been suffering
and taking on a state of semi-blind
ness. We learn that this trouble has
so far increased as to require him to
keep closely at home.
In addition it is said the mental pow
ers of Mi-s. Toombs are greatly impair
ed and that her condition requires the
most careful attention. The strong de
votion of the General keeps him con
stantly at her side. The affection ex
isting between them is of that abiding
and golden kind that has made them
moddles of mutual devotion through
out their married life.
We hope heartily as will all the peo
ple who know them, that their ills may
speedily he mended and their lives
spared for many years to come.
It having been published in the pa
pers that Mr. Speer’s telegram to Dr.
Felton, advising the committee of In
dependents to recommend Mr. Ste
phens for Governor, was unauthorized,
Mr. Speer replies to that charge in the
following dispatch to the editor of the
Gainesville Southron;
Washington D. C., May' 29,1882 Ed
itor Southern: My telegram to Dr.
Felton was written in Mr. Stephen’s
room, was read to him, and was cor
rected in two particulars by him. I
informed him that I would send it. It
was true—every word of it. Mr. Ste
phens recognizes its truth ; and ex
presses himself annoyed that there
should be an attempt to make an issue
between him and me.

Walton News: A drunken tramp
died at Social Circle last Thursday, and
was buried at the xpense of the town.
It is strange that he should have trav
elled trout pule to pole, and thank
from every saloon on his road, that he
should come to Social Circle to get his
fatal dose. Last Saturday night the
mail box in the Spencer House was
broken open hy a thief, and the mail
hags taken out and cut open. It is
tnipnssiMe to find (tut the losses just
now. The thieves also turned over
and broke open several of Mr. Spen
cer's I tee hives.
Griffin News: We learn that Clair
Dean, a little boy 8 or 9 yeftrs old, was
having spasms, caused from eating
green fruit. This should be a lesson to
the children to cease eating the fruit
until itgete ripe, and Jr:-rt-iti cannot
bee too particular with them in this
respect.

The American Temperance Asso

Georgia Democrat*.
The State—executive committee of
the democratic party of Georgia met
according to call at the Kimball House
in Atlanta. The following resolutions
were passed :
Resolved, That a convention of the
democratic pqrty of Georgia is hereby
called to meet at the capitol, in the
city of Atlanta, at 12 o'clock, on the
19th day of July, 1882. for the purpose
of nominating candidates for govern
or, attorney-general, secretary of state
controller general, treasurer and con
gressman from the state at large.
Resolved further, That each county
shall he entitled to double the number
of votes in said convention that it has
members in the house of representa
tives in the state. *. ft .
The following resolution then
offered by Mr. Colley, and adapted : s
In accordance with the previous ac
tion of tliis committee :
Resolved, That each county in choos
ing its delegates to the conwetolAon be
urgently requested to express" its desire
ns to whether the convention shall, in
nominating candidates, observe the
two-thirds or majority rule, and com
municate its action through its dele
tion to the convention..
The following resolution was offered
by Mr. Cubanlss-f
“ResoWetl, That we recommend the
'executive cftminitfecs of the d.emoarat
ioparty in the various counties of the
state to have delegates elected to the
state convention on the first Tuesday
in July next by county conventions or
primary elections, as may be deemed
best by the executive committees.
Mr. Grimes offered the following ns
a substitue, which was accepted by
Mr. Cahnniss and adopted :
‘Resolved that as to the mode and man
ner of selecting delegates to the con
vention, whether by county nomina
tions or mass meeting or primary
election, we leave to the wisdom of
the democracy of each county to de
cids for themselves, and wo suggest as
the day for the final action and selec
tion of delegates the first Tuesday of
July.
Mr. Grimes also offered the follow
ing resolution which was adopted :
Resolved. That the several counties
in this state are earnestly requested in
the selection of delegates to the nomi
nating convention to select men who
they are assured will attend the con
vention and personally discharge the
trust reposed in them, for we deem it
unwise and inexpedient for delegates
to transfer their authority to persons
not selected by the democracy of the
several counties. IFe recommend that
the county conventions seleet alter
nates to take the places of any dele
gates who may be personally unable to
attend the convention.
Vanderbilt's Great Wealth.
Talkii-g to a Irit-ud of Wm. H’
Vandefhilt recently, who was defend
ing bin genial character, the following
remark w-,a dropped : ‘The wealth
ot Mr. Vanderbilt is the most pre
nosternua thing about Him or about
our times. To think that an indi
vidual tins $10,000,000 more in gov
ernment bonds than the entire bank
ing capita! of New York city! The
money which moves this vast city
amt all i's connections amounts regu
larly t #69,09',000, a:id Mr Van
• lorbi t has one-six' h more money in
the governments bonds than all that.
Fortunately he ia not much of an
enterprising, obeolnte, tyranical man,
or that amount of money would work
a degree of corruption about the leg
islatures, or even in Congress, that
would he fatal to the public liberties.
I I ope to God that we ahall have
few such tori ones accumulated in
this country.”—[Gath.
