Right, good sir. But when this thing of

Revivals In the Churches.
Not because it felt no interest, nor was
unobservant of the fact, has Tub Wibkly
failed to make mention of the almost general
revival Influence manifested among the
churches. The reason is, that so patent a
fact was too well known to need additional
verification through the medium of the press
ft is gratifying Indeed to hear of these
awakenings It augnrs well for fnw, sobriety,
civilization. These visible evidences of the
inward workings of the Holy Spirit teach
that God has not fnrsaken His people ; —is
watching over and protecting them, and
will do so jn«t so long as His people pat
their trust in and rely upon him.
The C'bnrcb ia a power in the land, and
firm us a rock. Principalities may fall, yet
will it move on ; empires decay, it will not
Stop ; wars may deluge the land in blood,
yet the efroreh sheds a gentle radiance of
peace apen all who seek refngo within
her portal* ; famine and pestilence come,
bat to God’s people they have no terror.
Amid the wreck of empire, the desolation of
war, the carnival of disease, the Church ap
pears “clear as the moon, bright as the snn,
and ns terrible to her euecnies as ar> army
with banners.” Unlike human institutions
It hat grown with added strength and power
and usefulness through the most terrible
persecutions. Opposition, which would in
evitably have annihilated any human effort,
has been rendered abortive to do harm ; lor
the Lion of the tribe o( Judah has stretched
out His arm and protected His people in
every hour of need ; so that in this day, in
answer to prayer, he bestows upon them His
blessing, causing them to rejoice that the
Great Head of the Church is remembering
them.
There are a great many sinners in the
world yet, nevertheless. There always Will
he, and soma of them are enrolled on the
ehnrcb records, we regret to say. But, still,
these revival influences will quicken con
science and enkiudle a desire among this
class of members to become better men and
women. They will create an earnest long
ing for n nearer, closer commnnion with the
source of all true joy—an impelling force to
draw the serious us well as the truly pious
nearer to the throny. This is the mission,
or rather one of the grand aims of tbs
Church. And if those in authority would
leave doctrinal issues to settle themselves
and unite in a vigorous warfare upon the
great enemy of souls, these revivals would
not only be af more frequent occurrence, but
would also be characterized by greater dis
plays of divine power. As it is, however,
the spirit of the I’sulmist must be rekindled
in the hearts of bis people of this day in
the fxbibtorhrw# fits pow«r ia
so many cities and town* of the State —
"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is
within me bless His holy name.”
Oar own immediate section has expe
rienced no unusual blessing in this regard,
but sufficient has beeu seen to offer abundant
encouragemeut.
Quilts. —It Is gratifying to know that
life among our grandmothers ia bright as
ever. Here ia what one veneruble matron
has done:
Mrs. Moore, of this eity. now 79 years old,
has mnde 27 log cabin quilts, several of them
composed of over 4000 piece*. She bus
knit three counterpanes, or bed spreads, cm
ordinary knitting needles with No. 40 yarn,
and three pairs of ladies’ silk hose. Bbe is
still doing woik of this kind, and wishes to
know if anybody can excel her.— Rome
Courier.
How i* Tins?—While the lllainites and
other fanatic* are ottering volumes of abuse
ngainst Southerners for crowding down the
colored people, [t would be well for them to
read a little, so as to ascertain the exact
truth. For iuatanc*. in Mississippi, liter*
are 348 244 pupil* in school—of whom 190,-
088 are colored. How docs this tally with
the Northern version?
A Shame. —While tbe graves of the Fed
eral soldiers at Andersnnville are being en
closed by a solid brick wall, those of tbe
Confederate dead are tota'ly neglected.
Unless something is done, ia a abort while
they will be entirely obliterated. W here
are tbe blends who would rescue these toaabe
from obscurity?

France.— Bide by side with the recovery
of her prosperity, France has kept in view
the recovery of her military position. Out
of a population ttf 37.000.008 about 704 000
men are in tha active army, 540D00 in tbe
reserve, 581,8## hi the territorial army, and
625,000 im»lbc territorial reserve—making a
total af about 2400,000 men, all of whom
hawr'received acme amount of military
training. Besides these, there are about
1.330.000 men who, though nominally be
longing to the army and liable to serve iu
cert in contingencies, have received no train
ing. Aga inst these figures tbe Germans
have to show in the active army 401.000. in
the reaerve 500.000, in the landwehr 580,-

ing ia all 2 511,000 men who have received
some amount of military framing, besides
3 345,000 men who have received do train

vantage. tbe figures of tha two countries

numerical advantage is with the French, the

Mr. Editor :—lt has been some lime since
yon heard from me, and it will surprise me
if you hear anything now. Plums are all
killed, but the blackberries art beginning to
bloom, and the town darkies are lacking for
ward to better time*—in fact, they hnve al
ready made a d examination of the black
bery crop and passed resolutions as to the
general results of the tuture. You can’t hire
one of them to do any work now. They are
waiting in ambush for the blackberry. I
feel sorry far tbe poor berry.
The peack crop is killed too dead to tkio,
and I am at a loss to know what the Revenue
officials will do. It will be bad for them to
be idle a whole year. Well, this is a good
country—what we cau’t get, wo can do with
out ; but tbe Reveuue officers can't get
any brandy this year. So much better for
tbe Government, as it takes about fSA.OOO
per annum to pay officers in this State alone
So our Government will be better off by the
failure of the fruit crop. But I guess we
will have a full crop of lager beer, which
will suit a great many who try to keep them
selves unspotted from the world. Beer in
bottles will no doubt be higher.

Grand Jury Presentments.
April Term Henry Superior Court, 1879
1. We, the Grand Jurors selected and
sworn to serve at «ho April Term. 1879. ol
Henry Superior Court, beg icuve to make
the following presentments, to-wit:
2. As the Graiid Jury at the October
Term appointed a Commission of three men
to investigate our county matter* generally
this body deemed it unnecessary to appoint
the usual committee to investigate county
matters, and hereto annex tbe report of said
commission, tbe same having hev:i approved
and adopted by this body,
3 We find the dockets of the Justices of
The Peace, so far as presented to us, in the
main correct and neatly kept.
4. We find iu aonte portions of the county
that our public rasds are not in as good
condition aa we would desire, and urge that
our commissioners have tbe roads and aatall
oh such bridges •• requite them, for tbe
•afet f of tbe traveliog public.
ft Wo fed that the roof of the jail ia de
fective, aod le-k». and recommend that it be
repmirsd as early os convenient ; also that
the plastering thiooghout tbe Court House
be repaired, and more eapeeklly that over
head in tbe Clerk’s office.
6 We fed from the rrpert of the eon
miasma that our comity he’d* note* or due
Gifts on varisos part is» fft tbe

which we recommend that our Ordinary col

and wp fn>-i her recommend and insist that
oar Ordinary take ao more notea for lease of
convicts
7. VVe fed from report of commission
that there hew been onlv •6 paid into the
coonty tTeesary from jury fees for several
years pest, and as this feet did not come to
the knowledge of the commission in time to
investigate the same and report at this term
of tbe cnnrf, this body hereby appoints
Messrs. J. S Crockett* J. W. Alexander
and A. W. Harper ns a committee to farther
investigate this matter of jury ftva and re
port theoame at the oaxt term of 'h ; s enrt.
8. W* recommend that Mr. J. B. Me
Daniel be reappointed as Notary Pubiie of
tbe 423 d District, G M,, to fill vaeaney cous
mV by expiration of term ; and tnrther re
C' mweod that M . McDonald, J
H. Crockett and R H Tomlinson no paid
$2 per day for actual services rendered by
il.em »s a commission.
9- It is not consistent with the feelings
of this body to recommend any pay to coonty
< ffiger* for extra services rendered at this
term of the eourt.
10. We find the locks on the Clerk’s office
and Grand and Petit Jurors’ rooms very de
ficient, aid recommend that good and secure
locks be placid on paid doors at once. We
can bnt express our appreciation here of the
material change inaugurated in the Clerk's
office. VVe find all disposed of documents
neatly labeled and very systematically ar
ranged
11. VVe further recommend and insist that
in the 'more all court and eonn'y officers
shall, on the last day of court ot each term,
make u report aiid settlement with the
County 'I masurer of all fines and forfeitures,
or other moneys received by them ; and after
due deliberation, we tnrther recommend ibat
oar representative, Hon W. T. Dioken, en
deavor lo have a local Act pasted at the
uext session of tbe General Assembly au
tborizing the election of three commissioners
lor this county
12. Before taking leave of the court we
tend his Honors, Judges Hillyer and Speer,
our thanks for their kindness and polite at
tuition toward this body, and commend the
able a»d dignified manner in which tbey have
discharged their duties.
13 V\ e also tender to the Solicitor Gen
eral our acknowledgements for his polite at
tuition to this body, aod lor the faithful dis
charge of Ins duties
14. We recommend that these present

To the Grand J*ry. April Turn, 4379
Tbe committee appwmted by rbe Grand jAwy
of the Fa’l Term, 1878,.t0 investigate the
financial condition of tbe county,as well as
the accounts and books of the various county
officers, makes the following report :
We hav« examiryd tbe records of the
Clerk’s office of the Su|»etior Court for the
last six years and find them neatjy »r.d ci*r
reetly kept. So far aa we could discover, all
papers were properly recorded. We find two
of the deed bootee, to-wit ; "A” ami "B."
need rebinding, and recommend that addi
tional leaves be placed in the back of deed
book “B” when it is rebound, sufficient to
enable tbe Clerk to record or transcribe the
record of the deeds which were recorded on
a small paper-back book, between book ,- B”
and “C.” The windows in the Clerk’s effi e
need window shades or blinds to protec' the
books and papers from the reflection of the
sun, as they are being injured Irom thesume.
We suggest (bat the Clerk be furnished with
a record book, in which to reoetd mortgages
and liens, separate from the derds. Th#
Clerk needs a desk, properly arranged with
pigeon-holes, to enable him to keep his pa
pers in proper order. He also needs a table
For bis u-e inside the bar during Couft, all
of which we suggest be furnished to him.
W’e have also examined the records of the
Coort of Ordinary fur six years past and find
them in a nea' condition and correctly kept,
so far as we have been able to discover. The
Ordinary has all th record books in his of
fice which the law requires him to keep ; but
for the convenience aud information of fnture
Giand Juries and the people generally, we
lespectfully suggest the propriety of the Or

Cox Found Guilty.
Atlanta, Ga , May 7.—The jury in the
Cox case were ont al.l night, and came in at
noon to-day to be n charged iD full. At a
qu rter to four p m. they came in and an
nounced that they had agreed upon a ver
d cl. It w«s d< tained to correct an inform
ality, and was i hen nad as follows; “ A 7 e,
the jury, find ’he prisoner guilty, aud recom
mend that he be punished by imprisonment
for life.”
Cox received the v»rdtct with calmness
and stoicism, "having evidently nerved him
self for tbe worst. His wile, on hearing the
words so laial to her hopes, sat for a moment
trembling and then rushed lor the open
window near by lor ibe purpose of throwing
herself to the giound below. She was wild
with grief. As *be reached the window she
was caught by Cox who held her fast. She
threw her arms around his neck and clung
to him wildly, exclaiming, “On. my God, oh
my darling. ’ Her shrieks were heart-rend
ing and the oceupm.ts of the crowded room
could not restrain thi ir tears or pitv. Cox
used all his [rower to calm her and finally
sooth'd her grief tin'll snly her do p moans
broke upon the soiemn stillness
Judge lliiiyer sentenced C"X to he ‘con
fi"ed in tire penitentiary or such other place
us the Governor may direct, at hard labor
lor and during his Calual life.” General
Gartrell gave notice that the defense would

I bis penalty is viiioally the extreme of

Reputation for Fair Dealing!
THIS may be called a fine speech by those
who have never taken tbe trouble to
m >ke my acquaintance, or to s'udy my mode
of doing business. Still, I don’t ask any
body to take my word, or in (act to be, influ
enced in any way by a mere advertisement,
but cordially invite all to call and investigate
lor themselves, feeling sure I can prove that
I mean business nod every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
weather. Nothing but steady, low prints,
\ear in and rear out will create and main
tain a trade snob as I have had since 1 com
menced business. No need of argumeot—
prices alone tell the story.
I have dow in stock, and will continue to
keep such articles as
DRY GOODS, GROCERIES,
BOOTS. SHOES, HATS. CAPS,
PL Ai V TAI ION SUPPLIE S
And a varied and chuice assortm nt of
GENEH \ L M KHCfI ANDISK.
Thanking my friends and patrons ior their
former litieiul support, 1 hope, bv keep ng
