FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1869.
AST” Marrying appears to be the order of
the day just cow. We have chronicled the
union recently of a number of our friends,
who, we hope, are all very happy with
their brides, and are doing well in worldly
affairs. Tho latest of these happy alliances,
is that of our townsman W. H. Brewer and
Miss Sallie L. Howard, who are young and
joyous, and are now enjoying the pleasant*
est ol honey moons at their parental home
in Griffin—suppers and dinners being the
order of the day. We were of the party at
dinner yesterday, and were so well enter,
tained that we are-willing that Mrs. Brew*
er should have another daughter added to
her household ever week or so. May this
young couple have a prosperous voyago
over the tempestuous billows of life.

THE CROPS, &C.
Corn and cotton have received anew im.
petus from the recent rains, and are grown
ing fresh and vigorous. The prospect of
good crops is becoming more and more ap
parent, and the farmers are sanguine. On
Tuesday last, we were visited with a most
refreshing shower, which set the young
corn to laughing with joy, and it is now
shooting upward with remarkable rapidity.
The young cotton stalks are bouyant. The
wheat crop is excellent—many farmers hav
ing realized tiieir highest anticipations.
Most of our farming frieDds have their
crops clean, and well in hand, so that the
grass can be controlled during the balance
of the season. We are pleased to observe
the general drivesahead spirit and thrift of
the tarmers through this section. On their
energy, perseverance and industry depends
our prosperity.
Last Wednesday we took a bird’s-eye
view of the farm of Mr. Henry T. Patter"
son, one of our young and thrifty farmers,
and were highly pleased at his experiments
with the different fertilizers, as well as
with the general management of his farm.
Zell’s Super.Pliosphate has the lead of the
several other fertilizers used, up to this
time. We will make a memoranda at some
future time, when the result is ascertained,
and give our readers the benefit of it. Mr.
Patterson called our attention to a dozen
rows of cotton which were not covered
when planted—the hands being driven off
by a rain—and, on tbeir return, the seed
was in the sprout, and was not covered at
all. This cotton was the best in the held
by great odds. By observing these small
points, Mr. Patterson will derive valuable
information, and, no doubt, profit by it.—
We recently heard Dr. Ellis, one of our best
and most substantial farmers, remark that
he would not have failed to make a recent
visit to Mr. P. for a fifty-dollar bill—which
we consider a great compliment to Mr.
Patterson, and is as high commendation as
so young a farmer could desire. We wish
we had thousands such in our land.
Os course, on every well conducted farm,
the “gude wife” has a well stored larder,
and, if there ty rp. any exceptions to this
rule, it was not with M s. P., who provid
ed a most abundant and elegant dinner,
which was "packed down” securely with
that best of all the good things, an “apple
dumpling.” In her department, Mrs. Pat
terson is a little ahead of her lord, from
whom, possibly, he has taken his and
is pushing on toward perladjrSin his agri
cultural affairs. '
r
JONESBORO’ HIGH SCHOOL.
The closing exercises of this expedient
Institution, were had on Wednesday last,
concluding on Wednesday night with a
grand Exhibition. The Senior Editor of
this paper was honored by the Hcrmcsian
Society’s invitation to address them on the
occasion, which Ire did at 4 o’clock, Wednes
day evening—a large concourse of people
being present.
Owing to pressing engagements else
where, we were compelled to forego the
pleasure of attending the Examination and
Exhibition ; but a friend who was present
has promised to furnish us with a report,
which we will publish in next paper. We
will simply add, that this is one of the
very best Schools in Georgia. It is in a
very flourishing condition. Col. Candler,
the Principal, owns the tine Academy, and
intends to make teaching a life-time busi
ness, right where he is. We don’t know
of a hotter place anywhere to send a boy or
girl for a good, thorough, practical educa
tion.
The next Session commences on Monday,
the 20th day of July.
JSyThc “Great Alligator Show” is now
holding forth at Woodruff’s Hall. Those
who havo never seen one of theso “am
phibious birds,” will bo interested in a
view of those low country emigrants.—
Thero arc several of them on exhibition
together with that long-necked, four-leg
ged “.-.nimule,” known as the Gopher.
See advertisement of the “Elder
IIouso,” at the Indian Spriugs. This is a
No. 1 Hotel, and is oonduoted by one of
tho most accommodating landlords in tho
land ! Wo think, too, that his prices for
board are very reasonable.
The rains for the past few days, so
far ns wo oan learn, have been general. We
should think it would be hud on wheat, and
tine on new ground.
Griffin Wheat Patches. —Several of
our “town farmers” sowed “brag patches”
last fall, which have been harvested, etc.,
and we submit the results—Mr. Beeks’
acre, which looked very promising a few
: weeks since, but was badly injured by the
birds, yielded 32j bushels ; Mr. Johnson’s
acre, which was also considerably injured
from the same cause, yielded 30J bushels ;
Mr. Threlkeld’s yielded—well, we are al
most afraid to say how much, for fear our
readers may “kinder doubt it,” but here
goes—his acre made iijty Eight bushels,
which is ten bushels more ths.ii the brag
acre of Athens. Enough has been proven
by these and other experiments to show
that an acre, well cultivated, will easily
bread a small family. Let our farmers get
up a premium next fall, to be awarded to
the party who produces t'ue largest yield to
the acre.

Important Habeas Corpus Case. —On
Tuesday last Judge Green heard and deter
mined a Habeas Corpus case upon about
the following facts—ll., the son.in-law of
Mrs. S., lost his wife some two years since,
leaving an infant child, which Mrs. S. took
charge of. Some time since, H. again
married, and went to Mrs. S. for the child,
which she refused to give up : whereupon,
11. applied for a Habeas Corpus, and the
case heard as above stated. Some fifteen
or twenty witnesses were examined, and a
good deal of feeling was manifested by the
friends of the respective parties. After !
hearing the evidence and arguments, the
Judge held that the father of the child was
entitled to it under tbo law and the facts as
developed by the witnesses. The case was
argued by Boynton & Dismuke, Applicant,
and Col. Doyal and Mr. Bryan, for Defense.

City Finance. —Wo are glad to an*
nounce that the ten thousand dollars of
Rail Road ten per cent, bonds, recently is
sued by the city, have been negotiated at
par in Baltimore. That enterprising young
broker, Charlie Sindall, effected the negoti
ation, and says bejcould dispose of five times
tho amount at the same rates. This speaks
well for the credit of our little city ; but
ohe owes nothing, and is well governed,
with the exception of a slight tendency to
old fogyism, which time will remedy.
Mr. McKibben, of Butts county, also pur
chased SISOO of these bonds, and, we un
derstand, wants more. We hear of several
other parties desiring to invest in these se°
curities ; but we learn they are all disposed
of.

Arlington Life Insurance Company,—
We were pleased to meet the General Agent
in our City this week, Major Jones, where
he has bebn stopping a few days in the ins
terest of the Company. This Company is
conducted by a number of the most promis
nent and respected citizens of Virginia,
with the home office at Richmond, and will
doubtless take a good position in this State
■among the several Life Insurance Compa
nion now doing business here.
Our young friend Samuel C. Weems, has
been appointed local agent for Griffin ; and
in this appointment Maj. Jones has exhibi
ted great sagacity, as Mr. Weems is entire
ly reliable and energetic, and has the con
fidence of our peoplo. Anybody who de
sires to insure—and everybody ought to —
should call on him.
That Fine Turtle. —Mr. Os 'Williams
caught a fine soft-shell turtle a few days
since, weighing over 28 pounds. Os re
membered’ the Star folks, and we all had
delightful turtle 30up.
Commencement. —The public will re
member that the interesting Commence
ment exercises commence on Sunday next.
That distinguished young pulpit orator,
ltev. A*. G. Haygood, will preach the Com
mencement Sermon, and Col. 11. D. Capers,
likewise an eloquent, as well asMearned
man, will delivor the Annual Address. The
occasion is expected to be more than usual
ly interesting.
The boys ol the Male School of Messrs.
Rogers & Niles, will give an exhibition at
the Griffin Female College, on Tuesday
night next, (June 29.) Admission 50 oents.
A Juvenile Farmer. —Master Walter
Smith is doubtless the youngest farmer in
Spalding county, ogod about ton years.—
Like many of his seniors, ho has cotton on
the brain, with a good prospoct for making
a largo quantity on a small area. Ho is
cultivating the front yard of his mother's
lot. He sent us a stalk yesterday, on which
there were 22 forms.
Mrs. Murray’s School at Woodruff’s
llall To-Night. —To-night we ehall have
the pleasure of witnessing the second enter
tainment given by the young ladies of this
school. The Cantata, which will be per
formed, is entirely r.ew, and was composed
expressly for the occasion, by Prof. Henry
Schoeller. The performance of the first
(May) Cantata, under the direction of Prof.
Schoeller, gave such universal satisfaction,
that we take the responsibility on ourselves
of advising all to go this evening to the en
tertainment offered by the children. Prof.
Schoeller, who teaches this Ringing Class
free of charge, never fails to accomplish
what he intends to do. Within the term of
four weeks the Cantata has been composed,
and learned by all the pupils, outside of
the regular school hours. The instrumen
tal music accompanying the Cantata, will
be rendered by Prof. Sehoeller’s so called
“Settlement Band,” this alone being
worth double the price of admission—which i
is 25 cents, merely in order to defray the
expenses.
This entertainment will elo?e the first
session of this School which, after a bard
struggle, has succeeded in establishing it- [
self; and which now offers first rate advan
tages, both in the Literary and in the Mu
sical department. The second session of !
this school, under the name of Elliot Sem
inary, will open oh Mommy, August 2nd.
Fine Masonry.— Mr. G. B.JRooks is do- !
iDg some very fine work on thp front of
Tobe Johnson’s buildings, especially on the
bank front, which is of solid massive gran- i
ite. The arches over the doors and win- j
dows will be beautiful, as well as imposing,
in appearance. Mr. R. is a most excellent
mason.
BSuAlt. Burnett, the laugh-provoking
mimic and comic delineator, exhibited in
Griffin on Wednesday night, to a well fills
ed house. All were well pleased with the
entertainment. Alf. is a “brick” ot the
hardest kind !
Miss Anna Owen’s Exhibition.—We
learn that Miss Anna had a large audiem e
on Tuesday night, and all were delighted
with the performance of the children. We
regret our own inability to be present.

Hillsboro’, Tenn., 1869.
I have a black boy who V7iv» last Spring
so much afflicted with Rheumatism, that lit
had scarcely any use of himself ; his joints
swelled and very much affected, rendering
him to me at time useless ; complained of
great soreness all ever. I applied Blake •
ly’s Rheumatic Liniment, which cured him
in a short time. I have used it a great deal
in my family for various other pains, and
sore throat, with success, and cheerfully re
commend it to the public.
