Tor Legislature met on the 2d, and is now up to its ears in work. The road from Tolbotton to Cbuljbeate Springs is now iu good order. Professor Mallon is the new Superin tendent of schools iu Fulton county. The Commencement exercises of Mercer University were unusually attractive. Albert Callaway, a piomising young man of Macon, killed himself last Satuiduy. Five hundred dollars reward is ( fFercd for tbe authors of the Laurens county jail de livery. The friends of tbe late Dr. Myers io Suvuunuh have erected a monument to his memory. These is an old Depress in Upson county who speaks French fluently j but she just mangles the “Queen’s English.” The Buena Vista Argus objects to dogs atti tiding church. We thought Brother Singleton had a more liberal creed. Senator Carpintrr declared in the Sen- Htc that there is no such thing as a trial by jury in tbe Federal Courts; and, we may add, very lew in any other. Perpktuat. Motion. —Someone in Ber rien county claims to have invented perpet ual motioo. Here is what the News says about it: Mr. Vickery, of this county, who is re poited to have invented a perpetual motion machine, is said to have his invention closely hid from public view. We heard of a peu tlcmuH who offered him five dollars just lot a look at it, but he was refused. Another gentleman offered him a thousand dollats in cash for it aod a good per cent, on all money rtade by tbe invention, hut tide was also re fused. So there must be something “in it.” Perpetual motion !—something that goes ever! Like Benjamin Franklin, we are un believers ia it. Human genius, though capuble of wonderful development, has not yet reached that point. Perhaps, however, this Berrien county man can prove that ‘‘there are giore things ’twixt heaven and earth than is dreamed of iu our philosophy.” It is time for the Democratic pnrtv to take a stand on the money question. It is time to take a stand with Bayard and the bondholders, or wilb Thurman and the people. It is shameless to temporize longer. The rank and the file of the parly favor the “Ohio idea,” as it is derisively called by Eastern Democrats.— Sparta hhmaelilt Keep quiet. Ail these matters will adjust themselves during the campaign. Do not become impatient and fly 06 at the handle. Let os wait for the wagon. Large bodies move slowly. Haste sometimes results la tally. The Democratic party is prepuring to pass the bridge and then burn it. The gnns ft am Ohio will thunder the signal for a geueral engagement. Rsd Hot. —The canvass in Ohio promises to be red hot. Both Ewing and Foster are in earnest. They want the office of Gover nor. and are willing to labor for it Foster baa the most money, and be and his relatives will go to the extent of their pile to secure it. EwiDg was in the war; Foster birtd s substitute. There is enough churged nguinst each to give him a life situation on the chain-gang; and perhaps it tr mild be a benefit to tbe country if the defeated man could find his way to the penitentiary when tbe campaign closes. But we hope Ewing will wiD, albeit his notions 00 tbe currency question are unpopular. It will be a hard tussle A GtoitGLA Gibl-— M I63 Leila A. Noble, a young lady of Georgia, while traveling in Europe went down to the bottom of the great Dolcoath mines, (Wales,) a distance of •over 2,200 feet, and fearlessly explored its reuemea. The feat called forth hearty The Leaning Svstem. '! he Wesleyan Ch<i«tiar) Advocate hn* this notice of an article which appeared in a lafc number of the Christian- Index : “The Chriilian Index, m'ntioning the fact • hat there are twelve bandied convicts leased out by the State of Georgia, adds this piregpnt phrase : 'Supposed to he receiving nnriiahmen* for or me.' It is to hp hop<d that the Legislutim, al its appioachlng se«- sion, wilt look thoroughly into this loose ststem. It is full of imperfections and lia ble to constant abuses in many directions It nothing elre could he said against it. this ; 9 enough ; too many prison rs get away As it perms to us. tbe whole systf m is ut terly iuadiquote and unsatisfactory.” We indorse the above most heartily. This !ea=e business is a farce. It is an undoubted failure. The people nre waking up to the fact that justice is not meted out as it should be. Even could this system be justified on the score of increased revenue, the manner in which it is carried out utterly defeats the ends had in view, v<z : the punishment of tlie convict. The excuse why it was gone into nt all was that some means had to be devised to reduce tbe expenses of the State, and those then in power, in the fertility of tiieir inventive genius, fell upon this. But, as above stated, the plan “is full of imper fections, and liable to constunt abuses in many directions.” l/d ns reason u little. The end and aim of the Legislature in the ndnption of the penitentiary system was the proper punish ment of petsons convicted of certain classes of crime. If, daring his confinem nt, the prisoner could be made to earn something, so much the better. At any rate, bis pun ishment for violating the law was the first object in view. Tbe system operated well; •*—at some expense, it is true, but it worked well under Democratic rule. When the Rad cals got in power, among their many strange and ruinous schemes was Ibis one of leasing the convicts. A Radical Legisla ture, many of whose members have since served terms on clmin-gangs, adopted the plan, and for years this miserable farce bus berm going od. Admitting 'hat the State ha- been benc- Gtted by this system, financially, which we very much doubt, it has done more than enough mischief to counteract any good it may have accomplished. Tlie abandonment of vuluable property at Milhdgeville is among the leust of the evils it has wrought. Nor is the sending here and there, in quiet neighborhoods, of bodies of cut-throats, murderers, nssussins and other criminals, likely to conserve tbe morula or the peace of the people. The presence of even one such character is suggestive of evil. The system is wrong in other aspects. It operates disastrously to the laborer, us well as to others. It throws into the probabili ties tbe labor of the convict being put io the scale with tho honest man. A serious and determined opposition to the system has already been manifested on the part of the people, and we hope the present Legislature will adopt some plan that will come Dearer fillit g the behests of the law. New Volume. With thiH issue The Weekly enters its fourth year. Volume 1 fI. is itmortg tl>e things thot were ; but it made a record while in existence that we huve no cause to be ashamed of. It battled for the right ; it denounced error, and upheld with all its ability the true interests of this section. In the volume here begun the same liue will be followed. The Weekly will continue to ophold the tauth, and to vindicate the honor of Georgia. Now, friends, lend a Helping hand. There are many persons in this and neighboring counties who should take Thr Weekly, und we sincerely trust that our friends will make some effort in its behalf, however small, so that we may be all the better enab'ed to work io the line of our mission. Henry county especially should see that its home organ is sustained. Send iu your names am! help ns a little. Thr 4th was observed in very many cities with much eclut. Enthusiasm prevailed gen erally. In some portions of the country no notice of the day was taken over any other; yet it is evident that there still lives and burns, deep down in the hearts of all Ameri cans, a lingering regard for this natal day of our independence. However much its out ward observance may be neglected, it is a fixed fact that its history is cherished by the nation, and the thrilling thunders of the rev olutionary struggle will reverberate through all time. Fai« Play.—Thk Wsbsti.Y has never ex pressed a preference for any man for Gover nor ; but in the name ot fair play it protests agaiust (be flings which are being made at Governor Colquitt for his Real iu religions iillairs.

Dear Weekly: —lt bus been some time sinre this portion of the countv has received o notice in your attractive columns. ‘ Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,” etc-, was not written of us (or we are determined to be heard. The hardy son* of toil in this section lujJb struggled gallantly this year, and the world may as well know it. As n result o* their labors they have fine crops— at leusl of cotton. Corn is not so good. The farmers are, to u=e n common and expressive phrase, nearly done “laying by,” and are rot pushing their labors so vionr ously a* they did a few weeks ago, Yon may now drive by a farm house long after the hour of noon and see the proprietor sit ting barefoot under the spreading boughs of some friendly shade tree, every now and then giving a significant squint at the sun as he hitches his chair further in the shade, while a smile of satisfaction steals over his rough lectures, as much as to say : “Ab, old Hal, you have warped me this summer ; but never mind, we will soon dissolve copartnership for a season ” 1 notice in your columns n name r.flered for census-taker in 1880. Now we have a man down here that would just fit that posi tion exactly. He is worthy, well qualified, and ought to have It. I allude to W. W. Harper, the active and popular agent for the ‘•Centennial” cot'on gin. A writer in a late issue, signing himself J. L. Adams, lakes savage hold upon a piece recently penned by our reverend friend, J. M. Thurman, nnd fights its frantically. It is rather unkind in friend Ad ims to place the construction that he does upon the piece, and allege that Bro. Thurman lias not pro perly read his Bible, and I don’t know what else. Now we are not going tc permit this, for Bro. Thurman lives tight down here—is, in fnet, one of us; and in the innocence of his Ireart he wrote that short piece, not thinking to stir up uny strife. It was writ ten in a spirit of pleasantry, and we intend that there shall be no misconstruction of it. Bro. Adams seems to love religious fighting and if he doesn’t watch will place himself in the same predicament ot a young man claim ing to be from somewhere near Hampton, who wa« down he.e two or three years ago. ( That was when we had a grocery here. VVe have reformed since) Well, this young fel low entered our usually quiet place with bis punts stufled into his bools, at d s-oau com menced making tearful gyrations with his arms, at the same time loudly pronouncing left-handed blessings upon Peeks Ville and the world generally, »o the no small terror of the women and child ten ; and as lie stamped up and down in front of the grocery door would yell out, “I am the best man that ever walked Main street in Peeksvilie! Can whip any man that ever trod sole-leather! Whoopee! I am naturally spilin for a fight! Dare any man to call me a liar! Drutber have a fight now than to eat my dinner 1” The next morning he was found sitting on a wood-pile in the rear of the grocery, with his face buried in his hands, and groaning hor ribly. He had a tearlul btuise on the back of his hi ad, three of his front teeth were knocked out, and he sported a black eye W e remarked that beseemed rather batte cd up, and lie faintly murmured, “Yes ” VVe continued : “Thought you said yesterday that you loved fighting.” “So 1 do," he said, “but then I'm uo glutton. Do you take me for a blamed hog!" “Charity hides a multitude of sins” Bro. Adurns Guy llaspar. From Tussnliaw. Nlr. Editor :—During the pist few weeks the weather has been dry and hot on this side of the county, as in most sections. 'l'bere have been but few light showers of rain, and growing crops are sufl-ring. 1 think that corn—especially uplauds— is injured, al ! though it has generally been well worked. Garden vegetation is also suffering. Cotton is growing. Small grain turned out very well. We have had some sickness, principally 1 among children, but so far confined to settle ments. home have died. Two beautiful little girls were buried near Locust Grove on the 18th ult., the daughters respectively of Mr. and Mrs. Piuitt and Mr. and Mrs Colvin, who have our united sympathy* I'bere is nothing exciting in these parts. I desire to say to Bro. J. L Adams, of Oi.k Lawn, that there was a slight mistake in the copying of the paragraph I gave The Weekly My copy read: “If Bro. A., our retormer, don’t cease to be so astouUlnd, and Bro. J. L A , of Oak Lawo. so demon tuntial til tue utkA'P.'— "»mIH Weekly Baptist,” etc. I haven't the pleas ure of an acquaintance with Bro. X ; My attention was specially c.tlled to hii com munications by a zealon® advocate of what is known as the Stumbling Slone doctrine, (which I believe allows a person to select his own creed and act independently of everybody, so they don't stumble into an organization or nn to nn ordinance,) claim ing that it was Bro. J (I. Coldwell, of the M. P. Ch urch, and that be had espoused their cause. I cou'dn’t deny it, as I knew i nothing about it. About the time of the j appearance of Bro. X’s article expressing such great astonishment at what he heard a j minister say of baptism, and that everybody j couldn’t see that they ought to be immersed to fulfill righteousness, this same brother in formed me that he was mistaken. I simply alluded to his astonishment and your demon strations. but didn’t reflect upon b'S plan of reformation, nor yojr mode of baptizing, nor your demonstrations, nor shan’t at present, and pe: haps not nt all, as I have no relish for controversy ; and it is more than probable that neither yon or I would inter est thr paper or the public. But, Bro. A., I still (ail to see anything strange in that language, coming from anybody. How did von expect to accomplish anything if your demonstrations (to which I simply alluded, without comment,) escaped our notice ? Wp read about all Thr Weekly contains. And how do you know tha* I was not willing for The Weekly to publi-h what Bro. X. and yourself might have to say ? I certainly didn’t say so, nor did I feel so. I have great veneration for my Baptist brethren and friends, of whom T claim some in all tbe families—Primitive, Mi-sionary, Free-will and Bible Christians—and bid them God speed in every enterprise for good. If no applicant goes to them. I want them to bap tize him. and if they come to me believing immersion the proper mode of baptism, as an humble minister in the Congregational Methodist Church —I will administer the ordinance that way, in the name of the L 'rd Jesus. Bitl am very happy in being a Congregational Methodist, my brother, and not a Congregationalist; nor am I in the wrong pew, but wi'ti n a body of Christians, wherein 1 believe the pure Word of God is preached and the sacraments duly adminis tered by duly authorized persons, and where each member is a constituent of the church —having also a tribunal to which 1 am amenable it I become inconsistent. I am glad. Bro. A., that The Weekly is not re sponsible for your publications. It relieves it of a great responsibility. 1 make no pre tentions to being advanced in Bible knowl edge, and was not strictly scripturally speak ing, but usiug the term iu its general accep tation. I have known a great many Baptists who didn’t baptize. 1 don’t know that the Christian Index and Southwestern Baptist ever baptized, yet as a journal it will bear the appellation, for we can see its doctrine manifested in almost every article. I have seen a great many people that never bap tized who are proud of that appellation be cause it expresses theii religious sentiments and their relations to that great body of Christians. I called The Weekly excel lent beeuose it is a neat, firm, high-toned domestic paper that every Innniy in the county needs But if it should abound with such productions as Bro X's “great aston ishment” and your baptismal “demonstra tions.’’ we will have to call it Bip’i’t, but still shan't know what kind of Baptist to call it. John M. Thurman. 'lussaliaw, June 3 Oih, 1879. Brooks Station Locals. BY S. 0. BODY. The continued drought has proved almost fatal to early planted upland corn. W. G. Bishop threshed out one hundred and ninety-two bushels of wheat, gathered front 19 acres. VVr had a fine shower of rain on last Sabbath. It rained one hour—the first since the 17tti ol May. Messes. Stf-ikiieimrr & Bowers are yet in the field threshing wheat. They will reach 10,000 bushels this week, aud will continue through next week. Judge Mitcham has resumed his school, after two weeks* vacation. The Fall session has opened with a flue prospect, and prom ises to excel the Spring session. Ma. Emanuel Sledge, in a friendly scuffle with one of bis neighbors last week, received a fall, which resulted in breaking bis leg a few inches above the ankle joint. Mrs Coixin’s school was re opened last Monday with a considerable increase. The fall session of her select school will be largely attended. Her patrons were mnch pleased at the progress and profieieucy made by her pupils during the Spring term. The katydids commenced their nocturnal lullabys ou Thursday, the 26th of June. According to the oracles of the weather wise, frost make its appearance in 12 weeks after, which will give us the first frost for the year 1879 on September the 26th. The District Conference for the Metho dist Protestant Church will convene on Thursday, the 24th inst, at Brooks-Station. Many ministers and delegates from a dis tance are expected to be in attendance. Rev. F. H. M. Henderson, the President of the Georgia District, will preside. The croquet ground has been removed beneath the umbrageous foilage of Rev. L. M. Boykin’s grove. A delighted audience assembles every afternoon to witness the scientific skill of our amateurs. We chal lenge the five adjoining counties to beat our club of four in a double matched game. Wbc will respond ? Mr. Joe Prince aud family, from Amer icus, are on a visit to Dr. J. W.

Success «K*» l- J Ttr istpys v _ The 4th of July singing at ’County-line Ghnrgli was attend'd by "Into thousand pe’ople. and was tbe most sociable affair of the kind ever witness, din these parts. The d, lilierntions were presided over by Absalom OgM ee, with dignhy and eatisfac’ion. Fayette, Spalding. Meriwether, Pike, Cow e'a and Tfenry counties were represented hy some of their l>est citizens. Our negro religionists have an unceasing revival, and make the midnight hideous wdh their enthusiasm. One-half of the assembly are preachers, ami all of them must take a bout ip voc feron« harangue ere the serviees close. It may be ealled a revival, but Web ster’s lexicon has another word that suit® the occasion much better—nuisance. Whenever a cloud rises in the west and tak-s its course eastward, Andrew Dunbar takes down the railroad in a quarterly meet ing trot, in advance of the cloud. He says he desires once more to see a rain fall on hi® farm. If it should rain on his farm some night while he was asleep, I verily believe he would go crazy. And then you might look out for another “susnneide.” We have many hea'ed discussions over the verdict in the Hill-Simmons trial in Atlanta a few weeks since. The majority express the affair as one that reflects much discredit upon a Georgia jury. The ex pressed opinion is that tbe conduct of Sim mons in the whole affair was brutish in the extreme, and he should have paid the pen alty with his life. We have no more sym pathy for men of this class than we have for voracious wild beasts of the jungle, or the forest. the sentence be reversed and Hill set at liberty, is the populnr feeling. Mr. Joe Prince is something of a poet, and always makes his illustrations in verse instead of anecdote He illustrated his point in an nrpnmmt on hard times the other day. thu.-ly : “Now It is apples, peaches, pears and pin in® ; It is neither here nor there, So take it as it always comes And never get angry a"d swear.” 1 have been following Joe around ever since he uttered the above stanza. 1 have a great passion for poetry, ami fall in love with all the poets for their genius. Our Stockbridge Letter. Mr. Editor: —We are moving tilings around lively now, bringing the summer campaign to a close. Some of our fanners have finished “laying by.” Early com is materially injured. Miss Delia Cawley departed this life on tbe 21st ull., at the tesidence of her si.-tcr, near this place. There is some sickness in onr neighbor hood now, though mostly confined to chil dren. Mrs. Sarah E nambrick is *o have her dower located soon by the county surveyor. Our section has been unusually quiet since the Revenue officers were here. Our fourth of July celebration look place at Panther creek, near this place, and was marked hy a degree of t njnyinent that wo have rarely seen equaled The people began to gather early in the day, and by ten o’clock no less than e ; ght hundred had col lected on the ground, all hent on having a good time, and fully prepared for any amuse ment that might be suggested. 001. T. C. Nolan arrived about eleven o’clock and favored us with one of the finest orations that was ev 'r heard in these parts. He did honor to himself as well as to the occasion, and was enthusiastically applauded He was followed by Uncle Davy James, who made a ®hort temperance speech, after which the baskets were produced aud their contents spread upon a table erected for the occasion, when all present were invited to partake which they did with evident redsh The fantostics made their appearance during the day, to tbe great amusement of tiie entire crowd, and especially tbe little folks.

Thomp son, and daughter of J T. and L. E. Law rence, was born near Woodbury, September 30th, 1853, and died in Hamptou, Ga., June 19th, 1879. At the age of fifteen years stlie attached herself to the M. E. Cbutch, South, at New Hope, Meriwether county, but after mar riage, for sake of church privileges, united with the Pi imitive Baptist Church, in which she remained a consistent ami exemplary rat mber to the end. Those noble qualifies which so admirably adorned her youth and won so many kind and true friends, characterized her short, though quiet, peaceable, geuial and joyous life. Indeed, her “career had been like the blaze of the sun in the fierceness of its noon day glory, and her death as lovely as the summer’s evening when the sun goes down iu tranquil beauty without a cloud.” She was a dutilul daughter 4 a kind, teo der and affectionate wite and mother; a geutle, obliging and cordial sister; an un selfi-h, sincere and respectful iriend and neighbor, aud an earnest, constant and con sistent Christian, whom none knew bat to love, none named but to praise. She has passed from the society of those who loved her to bask in the sunlight of immortality, exchanging the home on earth tor “an home not m.ide with hands eternal in the heavens; ’ laying aside the cross to take op a crown. O, blessed hope! glo rious destiuy ! sublime reality ! The reward of the righteous is now hers, and the be reaved family and friends may re-t assured that she is iu that beautilul laud, where “hxerlasliug tspriug abides, Aud,never Withering flowers.” A Friend.
