Thr attendance at the Thomssville .Sun day-school Convention was meagre. The members of the Legislature are pre pariug for a long stay at the Capital. Tms year's cotton crop will be short, »c --eorJing to the opiuion of a cloae observer. “X. I. E.” turn* out to be Harry Ed ward*, a Macon boy—and a right clever one, too. Mn.

The defalcation is heavy. At Danville, Va., during the month of July, 3,135 876 pounds of tobacco were sold for $476,459. Pretty good for one month. Thr occasion of the presentation of Dr. Long’* portrait to the State of Georgia was deeply interesting. Gen. Gordon made the speech. Deacon Frank E.

There lives in Cutbbert a lady who ha* never been on the railroad, or thirty miles from home. I bis, too, when she has means to gratify every taste. Turkr hundred thousand baskets of peaches were shipped from Delaware to New Yoik last week, sajß a New Tork paper, and yet it ia said the peach crop in that section ia a failure. Wk Dotice some of cur cotempormries are making a noise over occasional errors that appear iu their respective papers. Get ored te it, brethren —get need to it. Sometimes the greatest care fails to be proof against them. Thr grand jury of Meriwether Superior Court, now in session, on Saturday found a true bill against Y\ arren P. Lovett for the killing of J.

He was placed under a three thousand dollar bond for his appearance for trial at the February term of the court. lv Dr. Felton will just 6ay the word he can be the next Governor of Georgia. But be don’t want the situation. —Cartermik Express. Dr. Felton ia nothing if not a prudent man, and ia right not to venture out. The time for the Independent fig bus not come— Augusta Chronicle. Stewart county is going backward. In 1860 the laud was valued at $2,252 296 r in 1879, at $777,916. i bis is a balance on the wrong side of the book. The shrinkage in value should stimulate tLe good people of Slew art lo greater diligence in tbeir imius ti ul pursuits, and we hope this will be abowu ere asotber vai&aliou is had Mrs. Hill's Case. We suppose nearly everybody has read the story of Mrs. Hill. It is a sad narrative —a very sad narrative—and one that is calculated to engender a hearty sympathy for (he erring woman. The whole matter can be summed up in a few words 5 Him mons was a fast man, and consi quenfly a bad man Knowing Mrs. Hill to be a Weak-minded, giddy creature, he determined to use h's blandishments upon her, feeling sure that he could by perseverance and artifice arcompli.h his purpose. She, on the other hand, had not the moral courage or strength of purpose to resist. More than once did she yield to tht gnilty embraces of the libertine, knowing, too, that be could never, during her husband's lifetime, have any legal claims upon her. And all this time—even whife-Jhat husband was bestow ing npon her the wraith of a love which only should be given to a pore wile—she was keeping from him this terrible sicret. The result was, »he fell, and when conceal ment was no longer possible, revealed the matter to her husband. What was her duty aa a chaste and vir tuous wife? Her solemn duty was to have repelled the slightest advance on the part of her enemy, and upon a repetition of the offense to have acquainted her husband with the whole matter. Had she promptly clone this, her husband would not now fie a felon nor she be shedding bitter tears over her own misconduct. We sincerely pity the unfortunate woman ; for, however widely she may have strayed, it belongs not to man to chide her for her frailties. Let not a too fierce judgment be visited upon her now. She has suflered enough already. Her destroyer is dead; her husband ia under tbe condemnation of the law, while she herself is a prey to those feelings of anguish which oftimes lead per sons either to the mnd-house or the suicide’s fate. No matter what may come—even should her husband be sent tree to her arms —her peace of mind is gone—gone forever. That mind—ao weak when it should have been strong—ia still wavering under the crushing weight of disgrace and shame, and not until she is laid away in that narrow house appointed for all the living, will she be relieved of the burden ef her life’s sorrow. So long as reason maintains its throne will the event* connected with this soul-harrow hig tragedy ever be before her eyes, and sleeping or waking she will find the spectre ever ready to confront her. A great moral lesson is contained in this brief chapter. Had tbe erring wifu en trenched and surrounded herself with that invulnerable shield with which every woman should be panoplied, all this misery might have been averted. Hud tbe man who woiked her ruin been less of a villain and more of a gentleman, and refused to use tbe advantage which be gained so unfairly, the world would have been spared tbe recital of a case so horrible in its details, so shocking in its nature; und homes and hearts now mode desolate might be sauctified by the presence of that sweet accord and enduring love which is the natural outgrowth of vir tue and true devotiou. God pity the poor woman I Jor Brown, — The Savannah Ntsvs copies the followirg remarks concerning tbe above named individual : The Oglethorpe Echo having expressed the opinion that if Joe Brown were nomi nated for Governor that he could carry Oglethorpe county, the McDuffie Journal is also of tbe opinion that tlii* may be so, but it would be the only county in the State he could carry. Thk Wkkklt has no special or particular partiality for tbe Hon Joseph—in fact.it would rather sec him anywhere else than in tbe gubernatorial chair; but it ventures the assertion that, should b* make tbe race, be would make the pace red-hot for his com petitors. Somehow he bus always made a bad start, but nlong the home stretch he would gain and go under the wire sometimes two lengths to the good. However, we hope Joseph will stick to his railroad and leave others to mauage State afiuirs. Another —Tuggles, thou noble Tuggles, tbe vindicator and receiver of a $lO 000 fee, we annoance you as a candid <te for Gover nor. No fee received without the indorse ment of tbe Congressional delegation, and a letter of vindication. —Central Ga Wcikly The high standard of expression which this Western editor uses, together with the overpowering wit here d splayid, will doubt lees crush what little gratification Mr. Tug gle may have felt in obtaining tbe fee which, according to Col. Blount, Mr. Stephens and Geo. Gordon, he honestly earned. But he will survive this thrust, his friends think.

It is astonishing wbat knowledge these nomadic editors possess of matters about which persons “to tbe manner born” are in doubt The hostility of tbe Centred Georgia Weekly, however, will hurt nobody. We forage on tbe Jonesboro Sews to the extent of tbe following : Camp meeting at Shingle-roof commences Thursday night aud Jonesboro expects to have a good delegation on hand. We a.-k of Hampton aod McDonough to see that owr folk* are well taken care of. Bro. Nolan, of McDonough, fells ns of three of the tnlleat men that enn be gnt up anywhere.

Abstractor the Speech of Hon. YV. T. Dickin. The House having under consideration the resolution providing for the paviwnt of per diem of Messrs. Alston and Jamrison. deceased, Mr. Dickin said : It is with much hesitancy and reluctance that I oppose this mensure. which purports to be the claim of the widows snd orphans of our deceased fellow-members, f desire to state here and now, that if a petition should he presented to us for a privnte con tribution for their relief, there is not a mem her upon this floor who would, in proportion to bis means, contribute more liberally than myself, for my sympathy towards the-e nn foilunate families would justify n>e in thus eontrib ting my own money ; but when we vote tbe money paid into our treasury by the laboring and tax paying people of Georgia, it should not only be in conformity to law, but absolutely commanded thereby. What is the case here ? Messrs. Alston and Jamison were elec'ed by their respective counties as Representatives in tbe Leg sta ture. They served thirty eight day-—until the close of last session—drew their pay and went home. Before the meeting of the pres ent session they bad died and their places were filled by other good men, elected by the people, and they are filling their seats upon the floor to-day. and art; entitled to and are drawing Ihtir per diem. Now the proposi tion is lo pay these deceased members also, (or to their respective families.) which I in sist, under tbe Constitution, cannot be done. It is true, our able finance committee, for whose opinion I entertain the most profound respect, has recommend d the payment of this claim ; but it is also true that they did so under the provision in the Code of 1873, section 191. Now iu my bumble opinion, the Legislature enacting thut statute never contemplated such a session as the present one; it was in view of a ease wherein a member dies during the session, and his seat remains Vacant until its close, anil never anticipated such an extra session as this, or tbe payment of two members at the same lirnu from a county entitled to but one. Then, agaiu, if that luw was intended to cover such a cisc as this, it is apparent that it is not the law since the adoption of the new Const it ot ion, which Constitution was ratified on the very duy thut these members were elected, und tbeir election depended upon the ratification ol the new Constitu tion ; hence, if we go upon the idea of a contract, ti en their contract was under the provision ol the new Constitution, which in plain language forbids such a donation, iu reel ion 16. paragraph I, page 44 It is said thut former precedents sus'ains the report of the Finance Committee. 1 have great deference to fotmei precedents, where they do not couflict with either the Constitution of the State or the rights of the people, but in my humble judgment this measure, when adopted, antagonizes both. Of all ages or countries where a people have becD aflltctcd with donations and ex travagant uses ol their public fund, certainly Georgia hardly has a parallel to her history tor tbe last several years, und now it is lime to lose sight of liberal precedents, or sym pathetic feelings, and strictly adhere to the provisions ol our wise Constitution, which wus trained with a view to econoin eal gov ernment ; and hence, entertaining the view I do of the law und Constitution, I have felt called upou to express my opposition to this seven hundred dollar donation, aod trust it may not be agreed to. A Kind Word for Hampton. A recent visitor, writing to the Atlanta Dispatch, speaks thus kindly of our little c ; y : If Senator Hampton were to visit his namesake and not feel an emotion of pride . roll up in his great warm bosom big enough to choke him, he is not made of the same stuff that ordinary Senators are. If thsre is a more wide-awake town in Georgia, tell us where it is. Hampton is young and lusty. Less than • dozen years old, but buying and shipping a dozen thousand bales ol cotton per annum. This is her legitimate trade, too, brought here not by rail, but by her own regular customers, on wagons. To tell you all abont this brave little town would take up too much space ; but it must be said that the sound of the hammer and tbe trowel is a familiar one there, and has been for a long time, and bids fair to muke music for some time to come. Several new, large and handsome brick store-houses will soon be completed, and they will be immediately occupied with full stocks of merchandise. Mr. E. G. Harris has a splendid steam mill in the city, which is kept constantly busy grinding, both tor custom and making flour lor the trade. He is now fitting up two large gins to run in connection with his mill, and it is expected that be will be able to turn out about twenty bales per day when be gets well under way. They expect to have a new and elegant railroad depot soon, as we learn tbe railroad authorities have purchased a site and expect to build right soon. The new 'one is to be located about two hundred yards south of the preseot ooe. It may seem strange that they have no reg ular hotel building as yet, but sucb is the fact. But travelers stopping here never want better treatment or fare than is given them by Mr. It T. Harper and bis most excellent lady, who, having a large and com fortable house, kindly consider the weary j ones and give them a delightful borne Mr. Harper is ODe of tbe institutions of the towu.

Locust Grove Gleanings. Tbe protracted meeting at Indian Crick Church, under the management of Ref. J. G. Kimball, closed last week. Ooe or two accessions. A two days’ meeting at the Methodist Church near the Grove closed last Sunday night. The services were conducted by Rev. John M. Thurman. Messrs. A. Speir. J R. Merritt and Pope Speir each have flourishing schools, and tbe pupils under their inslt’action appear to be advancing rapidly. The rains during the last of July and first of August have improved the crops in this sec’ion wonderfully—especially cotton and late corn. Farmers are pulling fodder, and say their corn is betier than thpy anticipated. There is some complaint of both red 1 and black rust in this part of the county. Should it spread rapidly much harm would be done, and a short crop be the result Fruit is being dried by the steaming pro cess around the Grove. Apply to G. YV. Castellaw or J. YV. Colvin for samples. Eliza Walker, colored, had her husband, Ben YY’ulker, brought before the proper tri bunal lust week under a warrant for assault und battery—he having used a while oak pole rather carelessly on her person. Rither than have tbe law administered, however, she agreed to settle the matter, and as it waR a family rumpus tbe court consented. Mary YVilkerson has been compelled to resort to the law to get possession of her cow and calf. YVould it not save money to the Slate, and render our public school system more perfect, for the present L-gislature to pass a law requiring each patron to certify on oath the age of each pupil and tbe number of days sent? If the General Assembly should be pressed with other business now, specify a duy to look after a bill of this nature —say the Ist of November. “Shoo-fly" thinks a convention should be held to change the Constitution so as to al low the Legislatare to meet annually on the firs>t Monday iu January in each year, and hold three hundred days each session. It would save the trouble of n two-thirds vote, you know. The Grove district is unanimously in favor of changing the time of holding the Superior Court to the second Monday in January and Julv. YY’e have no personal mention to make this week; but a goodly number of our citizens are apprehensive of a visit from Willis Goodwin and the revenue officers. Shingle-roof Camp ground will abound with flies next Sunday, und “Shoo-fly" will be of th" number. A man never knows how many friends he has until he enguges in tbe manufacture ol peach liquor. Ask Bill Colvin. Fleas, in their recent convention, resolved that they would kick tbe strongest where the clothes pressed the tightest. When preachers quarrel over the mode of baptism, we think it is time Satan was sent to the chain-gang. YY’e notice in a recent issue of The Weekly that J.

Shoo-ei.t. August 23 d, 1879. Mt. Zion Camp-Meet ing. Mr. Editor: —Oo Thursday, 21st inst, the tent-holders, more than twenty in num ber, and many others, moved apon the old time-honored camp ground at Mt. Zion, Spalding county, for the purpose of holding a four days’ meeting. The weather at first, though at times lowering, was ordinarily propitious, and there were enough peop'e oo the grounds during the entire meeting to fill all the space under the large arbor. The rain, however, on Sunday kept away at least one thousand persons that would have other wise attended. The six new and commodi ous tents erected since last year afforded much additional room for guests and visitors. The people were prepared—all necessary ar rangements for a grand meeting were made —the ministerial force was ample and of a very high order of talent, and ail things seemed to conspire to render this the best camp-meeting that we have attended in years. The behavior of the people was bet ter than usual. Tbe preaching was spiritual, earnest, powerful—just enough doctrine in terspersed to preserve the faith onee delivered to the saints, to establish the doubting mind io the true Biblical belief, RDd to dissipate many of the fata! errors sought to- be incul cated upitc the popular tsasses by tbe un converted, uurege iterate aud uospiritual clergy. Tbe meeting was a glorious success. Tber* were sixty-one acceasi ona to the church, and a great awakening of religious interest per vaded tbe eniire thoughtful multitude that thronged every service. May the great good <kme here be lastiug in nature, permeating all classes to tbe destruction of all am, and may kind Providence permit lor all time to come a return of just such glorious cuntp meetings a* the ouc that has just closed* at { old Mt.

Vnginia (Nev) Chronicle. Famous Fact Horses. YVe are in the midst of the racing season, and the victory of Falsetto at Saratoga oc casioned a marked sen-uti-m in the sporting world YVhen to the general array of inci dents connected with the race courses is added the fact that Bonner’s Edwin Forrest hag made a mile in 2:11 no wonder public* attention is turned to equine mutters. This leads one to rem»ik how completely the races of former days are distanced by the recent exploits of speed. Flora Temple, for instance, was the best trotter of her day. and yet the best time she ever made was 2:19%. Then came the wonderful D xter. whose time was 2:17% a feat which astonished the sporting world Goldsmith's M iid, however, afterward reduced the figures to 2 14, which wus thought the limit of possibility until Rsrus trotted the fame distance in 2:13%. Now, however, that Edwin Forresi’s tune is given as 2:11%, it seems as though nothing in the shape of horse flesh could excel such a figure. There are those, however, who maintain that the time will come when 2:10 will be attained, but they hold tbat this will be the final degree of speed. Some of our readers may imagine that these wonderful animals must be of superior uppearanee. Such, however, is not always the case, and frequently there is nothing in tbeir exterior to command admiration. Ra rus is a tall bay. with white bind feet, but who, when gazing on such an animal, would imagine that he wus capable of such speed? Edwin Forrest is a beautiful bay, a fraction over sixteeu bands, and bis bead indicates anusud intelligence. He is wide betweeu tbe jaws, high in the with ers, and immense thruugh the chest. He has, indeed, for this reason beeu called “a bison shaped unimal.” He possesses great leDgtb and powerful quarters, wilh drooping hips. Every muscle und every line suggest power and speed. He is seven years old, aod has the appearance of a massive thor oughbred. which is rarely the case, flis pedigree includes Joe Downing on tbe male side, and Leviathau on the female. He first appeared on tbe race course at Kalamazoo two year* ago aud bus since then had a bril liant record in K utucky, Cleveland, aud Hartford He has, indeed, never been beaten, except at Utiua, where a fraud was prac ticed.
