Very many dogs have been poisoned in Cedartown recently. Rrjoice, ye gentle lambs. The Commencement services of Andrew Female College, Cutfcbert, were eminently brilliant. The Bremen in some of onr cities want to be exempted from jury duty by a special act •f the Legislature. The liberal snm of $15,000 has been ap propriated by the Commissioners of Bibb to the public schools. Pk. Hamilton, of DeKalb, has been elect ed to the Legislature to 611 the seat made vucaoi by the death of Col. Alston.

It is sup posed they were stolen. Kentucky liberality is at a discount. An appeal recently made in aid of one of the principal colleges in tbe State elicited a donation of one dollar! Shame! Unreliability or Labor —The labor sys teDL as it is now managed, is, to say tbe least olit, very trifling. After awhile we gurss tbe farmers will huve to black a uig nei's boots in order to get him to stay on bis place. It has got to the point where, if yon tell an employe to do a certain thing he will do it il he likes, if not he will quit and go to jour next door neighbor and get em ployment. We know of several large far mers who have their crops planted and, for 6ome trifling ofiense, every negro ou tbe p'uce has left it, and said farmers are now without any help whatever. This isau ugly •tate ol affairs. Here is woik for the leg isiatois.— Dawson Journal. The most effective manner of dealing with tbe colored man and brother is to let him understand at tbe outset that be is expected to prove tbe truth of the adage, that tbe la borer is expected to prove worthy of his hire. If be sees tbe employer is in earnest be will come nearer doing bis duty than if be finds be eau do as be pleases. WheD an order is given with unequivocal earnestness, tbe effect is salutary ; but when be discovers that tbe “buekra roan” is afraid ot him, or is ia the least timid, there is do doiDg anything with him at all. “Woobmak, Sfarb,” ktc. The good citizens of Atlanta are in a perfect muddle erer tbe Ailai tfcus tree. Some are for its utter exterminating, and some are for letting it remain. One party declares that its shade is needed, aril that tbe tree i'self is a pre vention of sickness ; tbe other, that it gen erates ail sorts of diseases, sad is productive of evil. Tbe q nest ion is a local one, bnt a counting board may be necessary to deter mine School Books. Prom present indications it is evident that certain Northern publishers are resolved to make a tremendous fight, towards forcing their books into the schools of the South. Tbe Northern bookseller has money. He can crowd the market with his pnblicatior.s. There he has the advantage of the Southern publisher. The bookseller here off-sets this difference by printing books equally as good, and certainly much better sui'ed to Southern tastes. Those books that come from the Northern houses, or from the great publish ing shops of New England, often contain matter which the Southern student shou'd not read. There is in many of them selec tions from tbe speeches dT men whose lives were spent in abusing and misrepresenting the South and her institntions. Yet, not withstanding this, agents flock down here, visit every town, go to every cross road, and posh their books before the public in every imaginable way. An instance occurred lately in Augusta. Sterling’s Series has for some years been used iu the public schools of Richmond county. This series of books is the brain work of a Southern man; they bear the imprimatur of a Southern publishing house ; they have been indorsed by many of the moat intelligent men and ripest scholars of the South ; and no book ever met with such hearty reception from yoong people. But for some reason the Superintendent of Publ : c Schools of Richmond has become prejudiced again°t these books. Then a warm contest ensued. Several publishers, or their agents, then wpnt to Augusta. The Board met, de liberated, and concluded to continue the use of Sterling—a wise conclusion. But this case is one of the straws which indicates whnt is being done in this direction. It is certainly very poor encouragement for Southern men to venture io the publishing business, if their bonks are liable to be thrown ont and others snbstitnted; and while we do not write in the interests of any individual, justice requires that when a Southern man prints a hook, at great ex pense, and it meets the wants or needs of our children, and is moreover indorsed hy our best men. it should not be summarily thrown out and its use discontinued. The Sterling Series are as good as the best. The children like them. There are no oltra dogmatisms or fanatical heresies there to corrupt the mind. They are just suited to us, in every partirular, and we are glad they won tbe fight in Augusta. So much for Southern enterprise. Abundant Supplies. —The event alluded to bos passed, but we print it to show how the people in and around Tliomasville man age affairs when they go into a thing of this sort. That section is a glorious one. and they do indeed feast on the fat of the land. Says tbe Thomasville 'limes: The proposition to have a barbecue on the 10th developed the gratifying fact that supplies are abundant in the country. Forty thousand persons, more ar less, have been to see Colonel McGlushan for tbe purpose of selling beeves, mutton, hogs, divers and sundry and other things suitable for a bar becue, while one man voluntarily offered his entire flock of goats, consisting of one, as a square out und out donation There’s life in the old land yet, and with favoiuble sea sons and a little revival of business the country will flourish. Trial or Casks. — It is evident that the condition of most Superior Court dockets in the State is rousing tbe people, the Bar in cluded, to some measure of relief. The Rich mond lawyers have been in council, and we give below the result of their deliberations: Re solved, That we will uphold the hand® of the Judge in ao earnest effort to finish the business ot the term, and hereby request him to continue the court till all parties are given a fair opportunity for the trial of their cases. Resolved, That tbe Judge be requested to sound tbe doeket at some early day, for tbe purpose of assigning cases for trial, and for continuing those not ready, as a means of facilitating tbe dispatch of business. A Pronounced Platform. —We are cm® phatically in favor of taking the tax oft of quinine, putting a tax on dogs and embody ing in the orgauic law of the Stale a clause prohibiting the manufacture und sale of in toxicating liquors in Georgia. —Sandersville Coui ier. Brother Courier, we are with you heart and soul, so far as tbe second plank in your platform is concerned. As for the first and last, they must be worked out by means that must be justified by the results attained; but we will work everlastingly to save “Mary's little lantb.” The Coming Session. —The near approach of the session of tbe Legislature is arousiug those who have axe9 to grind. Local bills will be plenty ; the Code will be overhauled and temodeled, and much work will be done. It will be an important session, and will tend to the weal or woe of the State, as tbe Leg islature is wise or the contrary. The Atlanta Dispatch is mailed on ail evening trains leaving Atlanta, aod reaches nearly every section of the State tbe day ol publication. During tbe session ef tbe Legislature the Dispatch will coutaiu full proceeding.® of that body, and will be mailed within one hour after its adjournment. Sub scription 66 cents a month; $1 50 for three months ; 83 00 (or six mouths; 86 00 a year. Address THE DISPATCH, • Atlanta, Ga. End of the Hill-Simmons Case. Some three or foor months ago. in Atlanta, Sam Hill killed John Simmons, urging in justification of the act that Simmons had in vaded the sanctitv of his home and robbed his wife of her virtue, etc. The ea«e c >me np for trial about 'wo weeks since, and after a foil hearing, and a long and tedious argu ment on hoth sides, resulted in the convic lion of Hill, on Tuesday last, of the crime of murder. The closing scene of the trial is thns dpseribed by the Atlanta Dispatch .- The verdict of the jury in the Hill Rim mons case, as rendered last night, was a com pletp surprise to Atlanta—a surprise to the counsel, and evpn to Simmons’ friends* A reporter of the Dispatch, circulating around this morning, found the subject engrossing the conversation of every curbstone group. It formed t lie topic of break fast-table gossip, and merehants. clerks and mechanics seem to have lorgotte i business m their intent in the matter. We fonrid some who considered the verdict a righteous one, and that i* whs a triumph over “sentiment and false chival ry.” On the other band, it was claimed hy no small handful of people that Hill sbepld have been acquitted, and are severe in tbeir criticism of the action of the prosecution. Others insist that inasmuch as Hill had been informed of the intimacy of bis wife with other men than Simmons —inasmuch as the reports left him no reason to impute to the deceased the sole cause of his domestic trouble—inasmuch as the conduct of his wife wig proof of an indi-criminate wantonness inconsistent with tbe idea of seduction—his killing of Simmons had not the justification of men who take ibe law into their own hands to punish those who invade tbe sanc tity and defile the parity of their homes Tliey also s»y the law does not recognize any sentiment in such cases, and it was the duty of the Judge to expound the law only to the jury; that the common practice ol aequitul fur the killing ol seducers is at tributable to the feeling of American juries, and not to the charges of tbe courts. We simply present these expressed opin ions to show the manner in which the ver diet was received. That the result of the trial was n complete surprise to all is pat ent ; whether it was right or wrong we leave the public to draw their own conclusions. (Jen. Gortrell, in bis speech for tbe de fense yesterday, clearly and ably defined the law bearing on the case. He made one of the best speeches of his life, and it in it*elf was enough to clear any man ; but the charge of the court, which was elaborate, and the speech of the Solicitor-General ringing in their ears, the jury evidently lost sight of the defense, and hurriully gave their v>r dict. The prisoner received tbe news with a calm resignation. He seemed to have given up all hope when the charge was made to the jury, and when the Solicitor read the verdict, scarcely a muscle of his hard-set features relaxed. His wife, hardly compre hending what the verdict meant, reached up and kissed him. Evidently she did not re al:ze the fill! force of the verdict. It would be strangely inconsisient that this woman, ex pressing her deep penitence and contrition, and clinging to her husband throughout the trial apparently wilh nil the love and affec tion a wile cun bestow upon a husband, should, at that moment, when he was ordered away from Iter presence forever, feel indiffer ent or exhibit an emotion of pleasure. Her strange conduct when the verdict wns announced is accounted for in the lact that just before the jury returned, she was advised by counsel to make no demonstration, no matter what the verdict should be, ami all she could do at that supreme moment was to kiss her husband und smile, knowing Dot what else to do. A motion will be made for a new trial, and il refused tbe ease will be taken to the Supreme Court. The principle involved is an important one, Hnd needs a complete set tlement at the hands of our highest court. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. fleifibbarltood Notes. Mr. Editor: —An impulse ptomp's me to send you a farmer’s letter from this seetion of our county, and while everybody is prais ing their friends and neighborhood, you. 1 know, will excuse us for blowing our own born a little. It is true we haven’t much to brag on, but we will go « nickel ou our ytar’s work that we have the best crops, the best farmer? and the prettiest git Is and liandsofn est boys in tbe county, with the exception of “Fitch” Alexander, who will persist in grow ing uglier every day. Messrs. Payne, Win. Alexander, Coleman Tarpley, and others of our thriving farmer friends, ore boasting of finp crops. They are energetic tillers of tbe soil, and tbe result of their work is an exhibit of corn and cotton that is hard to beat, Mr. W. E. Alexander is erecting a nice and commodious dwelling, which will be an ornament to our neigbbood when completed The job is under tbe management of Capt. Floyd, who will see to it that everything is done up “according to Hoyle.” The wheat crop in this section has been threshed and everybody seems to be satisfied with the yield. Mr. W. E Alexander, on one and one-half acres, made the amount of 44 bushels, which was as fine yield as we have heard of in the county. The fishing frolic on last Saturday even ing at Carmichael’s mills was quite an en joyable affair. Tbe profits on the investment were small, but tbe proceeds of fun amply compensated the crowd for their attendance. Professor Aiken ha 9 closed bis school lor a two week’s vacation. He will open again on the 30 inst.. with a good school, judging from the popularity which has attended bis enterprise. For several seasons a complaint has ex isted among our larn.ers at tbe expense which attcode the weighing of tbeir cotton, ami they are thinking of forming a combina tion for tbe purple of carrying tbeir cotton to a market where it will be weighed with out charge. Jonesboro is tbe most available point under discussion at present, as her merchants and warehousemen have hereto fore purchased cotton wilhont making a de duction for weighing. In tbe future we will have more to sav on this snbjeet. For the present allow os to say adieu. XY. Z. Near I'ayne's School House, June 17, 1879. Onr Stockbridse Letter. Mr Editor Wheat harvesting is over, anil a rich one it lias been. Spring oats are low, and it will take a shave to save them. Fall oats are 6ne 9 The first term of oitt school closed yester day. The second term will open the first Monday in July. Mr J T Rond’had ripe peaches on the 2d inst. He is also the champion marble player of Stoekbridge—while G. B. Branan can clean up any man in tbe neighborhood in a game of checkers. Furmers in this section are about up with * their work, and all are anxious for a rain. We haven’t had a season in four weeks up to ibis time. (Saturday.) and ami cot ton are suffering terribly. Tbe general meeting will convene at Lib erly (Baptist) Church on Friday before the third Sunday in July. The meeting will be* prolructed, and we hope much good miy re sult. Mr. S. J. Lee is our Sabbath-school Su perintendent, and UDder his ditection it is flourishing. Dr. R. H. Hightower has been adding beauty to bis home by the use of tbe paint brush. Corn tassels and cotton blooms are begin ning to make their appearance. Oat harvesting will commence this week. Mrs. Lou Adair was stricken with paraly sis on ibe 7th inst., and hasn’t spoke since. June 14 tk, 1879 Fayetteville Locals. We are having plenty ol rain at prfsent, and crops arc us good us could be desired. Mr. Walter L. Simmons, who moved here from Gainesville last year, is doing some good farming. His cotton is as good as we have seen. Mr. T. M. Murphy, who traveled in the Western country eight or ten years looking for a place to locate, returned last January and went to farming, and now has the best crop he ever had, while the health of his lamily is better than it has been for years Miss Mildred Fuller, who has been absent at school in Nashville, Tenn., returned home last week. Her presence will add life and pleasantness to our town. Col. R. T. Dorsey, who has been slightly ill for several days, is, we are glad to state, i able to attend to his professional duties again. Rev. E. Sweat, one of our oldest and best citizens, died this afternoon at 5 o clock. Burial services to-morrow afternoon, at Prospect Church. Mr. Frederic Class has been quite sick fci some time, but is better. Mr. John Phillips, our worthy Tax Re ceiver, has given notice that he will be here for the last call on the 24th inst. Mr. John Burks will conduct an all-day singing at Ratnuh Church, near this place, on the fifth Sunday in this month, and all who attend are riquested to carry baskets. He will be ably assisted in the exercises by Mr. W. F. Clark, of this place, who takes great delight in singing. Rev William Morgan, of Jonesboro, pieaches at Raninh Church every third Sab bath, and his sermons are much etjoyed by those who attend. Seals Iree No contri butions solicited. II you want yenr wheat threshed, Mr J. W. Graham can do it if anybody can, as he is well fixed tor the business. Citizen. June 18 th, 1879 John M. Thurman's Letter. Air- Editor: —Some time ago, jnst how long I don’t exactly remember, there ap peared a paragraph, in “A Voice from Tus sahaw,” something like this : "If Bro. X, our reformer, and Bro. J. L. Adams, of Oak Lawn, don’t cease to be so demonstrative we will have to dub our excellent Weekly Baptist,” etc. Now, this is strange language to come from a Congregational Methodi-t preacher —especially when we couple it with a sen tence in a preceding paragraph, which reads thus: "Some of us. however, rejoice that there are not so many mill-house dunces as formerly.” We bad thought all tbe while that Con gregationalism meant, that each congrega tion regulate its own affairs as an t ndepend ent body, but it seem® in this we were mis taken, for Brq, Thurman is not willing for I he Weekly to pub ish wbat “Bro. X. and Bro. J L. Adams’’ has to say, and if it does, it runs the risk of being “dubbed Baptist,” and that, too. notwithstanding The Weekly is not responsible, in any manner whatever, for what either -‘Bro. X or Bro. J L. Ad ams” may have said—all of which leads us to conclude that Bro. Thurman is in tbe wrong pew as a Congregationalism Better go back to tbe old Episcopal method, Bro. T , where tbe clergy role, and put a stop to Bro. "X” and Bro. J. L. Adams’ demonstra tions, as well as to “mill-house dances ” We bad thought, from wbat we have heard of Bro. Thurman, that be was too far advanced in Bible knowledge to use such a meaningless terminology as calling The Wkvki.Y ‘’Baptist for he surely knows, oi ought to know, that, script'irally speaking, The Weeklt must be a baptizer before be ing justly and properly liab'e to the epithet of Baptist, arid fhia it Cho never literally be. ‘ A word to the wise is sufficient.” Without any unkind feelings towards Bro. Thurman, I am J. L Adams. Oak Lawn, Ga., June Hth, 1879. Griffin Dots. Mr. Editor :—We are dry—l mean the weal her is dry ; of course you con'd not misconstrue tbe remark. I ean’t remember exactly when we had a good rain, but it has been fully a month. A rain is decidedly in order ; yes, a regular lightwood-knot-floater. Next week is Commencement, and the school girls and their mammas are quite bnsy arranging dresses wi'h flounces, dresses with trails, and dresses with other fixings ' that your correspondent knows not the name of. The Commencement sermon will he preached by Rev J E Evans, (whom Grif fin loves ) on Sunday morning next, and on donduy the examination of several classes in the F* male College begins. Wednesday is Commencetrv nt day, and Wednesday night there will be presented at the Op'-ra House Mrs Nibs’ new and beautiful drama, “The Banner of St. Claire,” which, it is generally believed, wifi be a success beyond all ques tion. as will be the entire Commencement exercises. You and your friends must come down and see for yourselves. Since thp departure of the recetdiy en camped military— Some of our ladies are sighing. Ami some of them almost crying ; Some on their love’s return relying— In thought, some are swiftly flying To the bosom of their soldi- r Romeo. Romp, maybe, stoutly denying Cnpid, in his pranks and prying, Touched them to timidity complying ; But Httle matters this denying When the youthlul love-tide does ebb and flow. While I think of it, I will ask that you tell me what is Atlanta doing about that new Capitol? 1 am not gening many of the papers, so am behind with the news, you see. I thought if they were going to lay the corner-stone about the “glorious fourth,’’ I’d go up and see the boys at that time. Suppose they’ll he ready then? The city now has quite a number of vis itors. but not being well posted, am not able to give their names. The closing exercises of Miss Porter’s High School will come off next week, and promises to be Inlly as interesting as usual. She will give, on Friday evening, a concert, at which time a beautiful operetta will be rendered by her school. Business is remarkably dull,dost plentiful, and the thermometer 89 in the shade. Ralph. c ‘llis Satanic Majesty” Review ed. Mr Editor:—V lease allow me space *o a?k “Zuph” a few questions concerning his “B'hle view of the Devil.” as he seems to have work r d nut th" riddle at least to the satisfaction of hi® (or her) mind. But lam not so certain and confident of thp matter, notwithstaudmg I have read. a>d vet don’t “understand.” When nr n hnild theories, and pspecT dlv Bible theories, thev nm®t first of all be careful 'o have a well-laid founda tion, or else the stinctnre thereon erected will fall down when the storms come. Now, hea" ‘ Zuph” : “Whilst onr fore parents were basking in the sunshine of their terrestia! paradise, and enjoving the loveli ness and purity of Hod’s beneficence thinking only of bliss and endless happiness etc. Now, how could our forrparents think of endles® hnpp'mess when as yet they had no knowledge of time; for they had not yet eaten of the “tree of the knowledse nl good and evil.” Mark ye, Mr. ‘ Zuph ” it doesn’t sav, “the tree of good and evil.” but of tbe ‘ knosrledge of good and evil ” It, then, 'hpv knew nothing of “good and evil.” how could they know anything of an “endless happi ness,” or how could they be happv, when they had no knowledge of the good? It i.® by contrast that we know the good from the bad. But again “Now, it seems that the ser pent beguiled woman; —the common snake that crawl® upon his brea t to-day, and lives upon dust in i's varied forms—was the great destroyer of the happi»e«s of mankind,” etc. "'The urea* destro * r of the happiness of mankind.” indeed !—when mankind knew nothing of hupp ness, evil or death ! But • Zuph” says it is “the common snake that crawl® upon his breast to-day that destroyed tbe happiness of mankind, and received the curse from the Almighty.” The question recurs again : Which one of the many dif ferent species of-common snakes that crawls upon his br> »®t to day, that was cursed by the Almigh'v.” for there are hundreds of them ? If ‘ Zuph” can answer this question by pointing out the purticnW common snake that was enrsed bv the Almighty, we will begin to have a lit lie more confi ’ence in the “snake story but nntil he does this we mast be excused for questioning the truthfulness of his conclusions. ••Znph” evidently saw be was getting into deep water while fishing up bis snakeship. and so, like all men in trouble, he jumps Irani the trying-pan into the kettle by leap- I tng from Genesis to Revelations. And here it is : ‘'And the great dragon was cast onf, that old sei pent, called the Devil, nad .Satan! which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were ' cast out with him:” Rev. xii: 9 Now,! “Zuph,” read the following vers*, and see! what happened when this -great d ngou, that : old serpen', (common snake, you say .) called the I) vil, and Satan. wa- cast out' in'o the earth:’' “Now is com*sa/wlton, and strength, and the kingdom ut our God. ai d tiie power ol his Christ ; lor the accuser ol our tueib ren is cast dowD, winch accused tb<-m before our God day and night.” Yes, sir, this was what the loud voice iu heaven said, when the “old dragon, called tbe Devil, and cSulaa. was cast out into tbe earth.” But ‘ Zuph” says, iu ins “Bible view” ol this old serpent, that when he was cast ont into the earth he entered into the common snake, (chapter and verse, please.) and "wil fully. designedly and maliciously deceived the women, and destroyed the happiness of mankind !I” The Bible says that when the oM serpent was cast out into tbe earth inero was a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now i 9 come pa'vation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and tbe power of his Christ.” . . If ihis i« destruction to human happiness, O. mv God. let it come. And I tell yon, “Zoph.” there will be a shoot in heaven when that old Beast, the Roman Catholic Chnrcb, and all her numerous family or daughters, are cast down. Then the power of Crist will come. Preochers and teachers will then no longer stand up before God and all the earth, dealing ont tbeir foolish opin ions for a "Thus saith the Lord.” and en forcing human-made commandments for the d ctrines of our God and bis Christ. O. ‘ Zaph,” draw vour sword—the °wnrd ol the Spir t. which is the word of God— and help to cast down that old serpent, the great dfagon. that sit* over yonder on the seven bills of Rome ; that once wielded the sword ol 'he Caesars, and made all the na tions bow to her commands and authority, and made them “drunk with the wine of her fornications ’’ But the sword—temporal power—has been taken away from her, and to day she is falling, and the time will sooo come when the shout will go up, “The kingdoms of’ this eaith have become the kingdoms ol Our Lord, and bis Christ, and he shall reign."
