ATLANTA FAIR.
Atlanta, June 30.—H. I. Kim
ball, director general of the inter
national cotton and industrial ex
position, has returned from an ex
tended tour, having visited Chicago,
St. Louis, Louisville and other ci
ties, whose boards of trade and oth
er commercial bodies gave him en
thusiastic receptions and subscrib
ed large sums to the exposition
stock. Last evening the executive
committee met and decided that
these and previous liberal subscrip
tions removed whatever apprehen
sions had been entertained early in
the enterprise of a lack of funds to
carry it forward. It was voted
unanimously to furnish such floor
space as may be necessary free to
all desirable exhibitors in every
class o: exhibits from every quarter
of the globe. The committee was
the more ready to take this step
because an immense attendance of
visitors is now absolutely assured.
NO TIME TO HATE.
Begone with fued! away with strife!
Our human hearts mimating;
Let us be friends again! This life
Is all too short for hating!
So dull the day, so dim the way,
So rough the’ road we’re faring—
Far better weal with faithful friend,
Than stalk atrlk alone uncaring.
Away with scorn! since die we must,
And rest on one low pilbsw :
There are no rivals in the dust —
No loes beneath the willow.
So dry the bowers, so few the dowers
Our earthly way discloses.
Far better stoop where daisies droop
Than tramp o’er broken roses.!
Of what are all the jova we hold
Compared to joys above us ?
And what are rank, and power, and gold,
Compared to hearts that love ns?
So ileet our years, so full of tears,
So closely death is waiting;
God gives us space for loving grace,
litu leaves no time for bating.
Col. T. C. Nolen of McDonough
in his Memoirs qf Henry County
produces sorhe very interesting
facts Connected with the early his
tory of that county/from paper No.
18 we clip the following:
“One of the most important events
connected with the history of Hen
ry county was the dissolution of the
old iron-side Baptist into two di
visions—recognized now as the
Missionaries and Hardshells,. or
Ahti-Missionaries. The first ori, r jn
or foundation of these different ?s
occurred at a little church called
Teman, which was situated a few
miles from McDonough, in the Tur
ner neighborhood, and from that
place sprung a division among the
Baptist denomination that soon
spread all over the United Stated,
and which to-day comprises two
grand elements of religious people,
with their different views ana opin
ions. This sentiment of division
began in Henry county some time
during 1825, but it did not* come to
a certain final termination unti l
1835, at Holly Grove Church, in
Monroe county, when the Towalk
ga and Flint River Associations
were formed and organised—the
Hardshells, if I- mistake not, adding
the 13th amendment to the twelve
articles of Baptist faith.
One of the prominent points
sisted on by the Hardshells was
the forbiding any member to join
a secret institution, such as Free
masonry, or any organization of
Temperance, or like order.
When the change of sentiment
and opinion first sprung into exis
tence at Teman Church, the Bap
tist made appointments in McDon
ough, where they often met day af
ter day and debated the .various
questions and issues in Nolan’s
present office, which *vas then the
Baptist Church, the controversies
often lasting until after sundown,
Among those who met here and so
ably defended their doctrines with
the logic of their arguments, was
the Rev. John Milner, of Monroe
and his brother, Pitt Milner, the
father of Mrs. Parker Eason, who
resided near Sunny Side, and who
was the grandmother of our recent
Sheriff, Parker E. Brown. Also,
old man Sherwood, the uncle of
Mrs. Wm. Florence, who died not
long since the city of Chicago; Rev.
Billy Henderson, who shot a horse
thief and was silenced for a time
from preaching on that account,
but was soon restored to his minis
terial station Jesse Mercer,. whose
name is a familiar word in the
household of all Baptist families;
Billy Mosely, whose history, private
and political;, is inseparably con
nected with that ot Henry country j
and the Rev. Mr Lympkin, a kins
man of the distinguished Lumpkin
family which is so well known and
eulogized all over Georgia. The
dissensions soon spread to old
Bethel Church, now in Butts coun
ty, and which was the oldest, or one
of the oldest , Baptist Churches in
the county. Among those who
prominently figured in that forum
were Silas White, Barney Strick
land and the Rev. Mr. Wilson. The
discussions at this place were more
directly upon the free-will doctrine,
or Armenian theory, as well as the
foreign and domestic missions,
which was also a cause of conten
tion among them. The split at
Bethel Church occurred in 1827 or
1828.
One of the most fiendish crimes
ever committed in the county was
the coldblooded murder of his wife
by a man named Jarrell. This oc
curance took place in the early set
tlement of this section. It appears
as if Jarrell had left home with hi3
little son, some ten years of age, to
go after corn, probably across the
Ocmulgee river into Jasper county.
On his return, and when he had ar
ived in less than a mile of his house,
he stopped and Set about prepara
tions to encamp for the night, which,
the boy strenuously objected to,,
and insisted on proceeding to the
house. The next morning the wife
of Jarrell was found dead at hornet
with a gaping wound splitting her
skull open, and her body lying in
the embers of the fire-place, par
tially destroyed by fire. The evi
dence of the ten year-old son, and
Jarrell’s axe, which had some blood
and hair upon the blade, convicted
him. The boy testified that liia
father got up during the night and
hft the camp, and that when he
os mo back just bc* wc * iit, lie
i \ia *r, Ms on, ** Win :d you
thin, if someone h°' I rear
mother?” The tale
indeed, and when the boy wvm
home in the morning and enu . I
the house to greet her, the ghHT v
spectacle of her half-consumed
corpse met his In removmg
her from the bed of coals her head
fell out of her burnt body into ihe
ashes. Jarrell at once accuse * a
negro woman he owned of the mur
der, and said if proof cordd ba*' os-,
; tablished on her he would give bed
twenty-five lashes. Jarred vrns and
low, thick-set man, about dr‘|
years of age. Ho was put upoo tril

hanging was passed upon him. lie
was the first and only white niac
ever hung in Henry county. The
gallows was erected on Circh iTee j,
near the present •resid.uco o- -u.r.
Sain Carmichael, who:a he ■ni:*orea
the penalty oi bis crime •u■o ju /
lies near the spot where he was
swung into eternity. He petitioned
to the Governor for a rep rive, and
on the day of his execution the
lenient Sheriff waited for the doom
ed man until the last minute. Jar
rell stood upon his scalfold for two
hours before his death, hallooing at
the pitch of his voice with the hope
that he might hear a response from
the returning messenger whom he
had sent to plead for his pardon
to the Governor.
DIED.
It becomes our sad duty to an
nounce the sad death of our friend
James Greer which occurred at El-.
mo Texas, on the 27th ult., the fol
lowing letter will explain the par
ticulars.
Dear Friend and Editor Little
did I think when I wrote you last
that in so short a time it would be
come my sad duty to write you of
the death of J. F. Greer my brother
and your true friend after a week
of illness. The doctors done all in
their power to stay the grim mou
ster death, but the messenger was
not to forebear. His many friends
I suppose would like the particu
lars, so I will etate theln, Monday
the ‘2oth after plowing until he be :
came very warm and thirsty he
drank very freely of cold water, in
conseqence of which, he was taken
a little sick and laid down on the
gallery/and there being a breeze.he
was soon chilled, a light chill fol
lowed, on Wednesday he had anoth
er chill, Saturday he was up, and
much better, S turday night about
-r.ne o’clock he began get worse,
the doctor was will him during
Sunday, and he seer • 1 to :: hotter,'
-but Monday morning • t eight
.o’clock there was a charge for the
worse and despite th? doctor’s skill.
r’e the night had thrown its sablo
mantle around us, his spirit had ta
ken its flight, to the land where
darkness, death, nor sorrow eyerjen
ters.
There had been a great change in
him for some time previous to his
death, he often spoke of his faith in
Jesus Christ and was very desirous
of uniting with the Christian
church. ITe had many friends here
and kindly -were they to us for
which we will ever feel greatful to
flem, sad is are hearts, and sad
will be the hearts of his relations
a. 1 friends, but we should not mur
mur at the ways of him that gives
so freely, but should love him the
more, and pray that we might be
prepared to meet the loved one that
has crossed over before 113.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASBINA
• TION OF THE PRESIDENT.
We suppose all our readers, will
have heard of the attempt upon the
life of the President ere this issue
of our paper reaches them, hence
we will not attempt to give the full
details, but will say the would be
murder whose name is Giteau made
no effort to escape, and give as his
reason why he did the deed.
The follow n.g letter was taken from,
the prisoners pocket at police head
er, arters :
“July 2, 1881. To the White House :
The Piesidents tragic death was a sad
necessity, but it will unite the Republi
can party and save the republic. Life is
a flimsy dream, and it matters little when
one goes. A human life is of small val
ue. During the war thousands of brave
boys went down without a tear. I pre
sume the President was a Christian, and
he will be happier in Paradise than here.
It will be no worse for Mrs. Garfield,
dear soul, to part with, liei husband this
way than by natural death. He is liable
to go at any time anyway. I had no ill
will toward the President. His death
was a political necessity. lam a law
yer, a theologian and a politician. I
am a stalwart, of the stalwarts. I was
with General Grant and the rest of our
inen in New York during the canvass. I
have some papers for tlie press which I
shall leave with Bryon Andrew's aud his
co-journalists, at 1470, New York Av
enue. wdiere all the reporters, can see
them, lam going to jail.
Charles Giteau.”
We know of noththing moor ap
propriate, to say in condemnation
of the dastardly act than to quote
the Augusta Chronicle :
“It seems yesterday that we beheld
Mr. Garfield, smiling,’ happy, dignified
and handsome, seated in the Senate
Chamber before a notable assemblage to
be inducted into the Presidency. He
had risienqfrom the humblest walks of
life to the highest, by his own endeavors,
under a Divine Providence, and that
daymarked the acme of a proud and a
glorfous ambition. lie delivered an in
auguration address that gave to the Con
tinent assurances of peace and comfort,
and turning aside for a moment from the
‘tremendous civic trust, ho became the
true sou and husband, who recognized
in his mother arid wife the sources of his
great career and inspiration. Because
this is the American Union, and be
cause our President is the fit ruler of a
free people, a wail of righteous indigna
tion swells in unbroken chorus over this
whole land, protesting against fine gigan
tic wrong ana demanding justice against
the vidian, who horrified the republic
and disgraced the image of Iris Creator. ’
BUTTS COUNTY, AND ITS COM
MERCIAL IMPORTANCE.
In our last on this subject, we
said that the developement of our
resources was within our reach, and
that we could by the proper man
agement, utilize the great advan
tages we have in our midst. Oar
people have displayed a wonderful
energy since the war but it has been
misapplied in almost every instance.
In the first place I will call attention
to the amount of money invested in
steam power by the citizens of Butts
county in the last few years, now the
trouble about that is, all the mon
ey thus invested goes north, instead
of being invested as a' permanent
improvement on some of the team
ing water powers with which our
country is so abundantly blessed.
Would it not be far better for us to
give our neighbor a reasonable
stock for his privileges, and invest
ono .mu sand dollars in a por ma
aent impio,. of his water pow
er, than to send Pa: money north
for a ten horse power eng o Mat is
11 dole to explode at any time ■ Be
side ■ /o have known men to invest
in steam power who have fine wa
ter power of h’s own, why do we do
tinsf When nature has blessed us
so bountifully, one reason is because
the people the people of the North
let the world know what they ha ve
got, they send out the glowing de
scription of their steam power, and
the result is wo invest, now why
can’t we be as wise, and tell the
world what we have got? Another
view of this investing in steam pow
er, aside from its carrying of the
.surplus' of our energetic men, is
its financial bearing on the individ
ual who invests in it, we speak from
experience when we that, its on
ly a matter of time when a man will
ho hurt financially who runs a,
steam engine. Y/o defy any man
to Minn on in Butts. Cv'-iiii v'
that has invested in one but what
lias been hurt by it, I will admit that
there are men in the couniy who
own them that is not broke, but
can prove that they would lmv
been better off, it they never had
seen one, and the country would
have been bSneftyed by their ener
gy industry and surplus capital be
ing applied to the improvement o'
our advantages in the* erection of
permanent improvements that could
b/> nudroved and added to from
time to time, and thereby increase
our commercial importance, them
are many things that we could men
tion, that is draining the mono
from our country that we would b
better off without the most prom
inent of which is commercial fer
tilizers, but we will not argue the
point from the fact that we fee !
confident, its an idol that we an
a slave to, having heard many of 0111
people say, “I intend to use it wheth
er it pays or not, my neighbors us;
it, and I must do so, to make as
much cotton as them whether there
is any profit or not.” We have no
argument to make to such a delusive
idea as that, when a man make?
up his mind that lies going to tor
ment, because his neighbor pennies
that course, you may as well let
him alone, what w r e want is a di
versity of thought and action, that
one industry may be a feeder 'to
another, we can never attain inde
pendence while we all persue one
continual down grade policy ri
buying more than we sell.
Every man should look into hit
affairs and see whether any change
in bis system of management would
be beneficial or not. We shorn! cease
te b - influenced by custom or pred
judi.ee, know our needs and apply
them.
Should be our motto, when we
improve our condition individually
we improve the condition of our
country. Its true with some of us.
its a gloomy outlook, but if we wifi
only look back at the condition of
our country just after the war, and
think how our people have arisen
from the ashes of desolation, we
will not bi piscouraged at the out
look of the present, we have got no
time for gloomy forebodings, the
work if s before us, we can’t afford
to live our lives out here and not
attempt to see our country’s great
ness, we have got no time for ‘Th
au ands,” our needed Railroads
must be built, and oiur condition
both private and public improved.
If you have been following the
fatal policy of paying fifty per ceni
for advances to make yours crops,
abandon your course at once, if you
have been through the 2-£ per cent
mill, sweat qv the eternal on3 you’ll
go there no more, it you qave been
crushed in the struggle for a com
petence, and run over and tramped
under foot by your more fortunate
neighbor, in the rush for power and
wealth, rise and try it again, move
with move caution, but with renew
ed energy and a stronger determi

Just call on him at his saloon,
At morn, at eve, or busy noon,
He’ll curl and dress the hair withgraee,
Ill’ll suit the contour of the face ;

Scissors Siiarp, and razoi s tcecn,
And everything, 1 think, you’ll find
To suit the taste and please the mind
And all that art and skill can do
If you’ll call he’li do lor you.
