fST*Heading matter on every pay
Terrell Industrial Association.
It is a truth that such an association
has been formed, a joint stock compa-
Uy, partly the offspring of the Agri
cultural Society of this county, and
that this Association has decided to
hold a Fair, beginning the Tih day
of November next. We aro glad tho
move has been inaugurated, and feel
assured in our own minds, that noth
ing is more productive of general good
than a Fair, iq stimulating zeal and
energy in all branches of industry-
Our delegates in attendance upon the
Convention at Home, among them the
Fresident of our county Society, ex.
pressed themselves highly gratified
with their trip, and saw and heard
much to encourage thorn to put forth
effort looking to improvement in all
branches of industry. We are glad to
see this spirit taking hold of the peo
ple of this county, and only hope that
tho work may continue until it will Lo
como general. As to tho Fair wo
claim that as a success already, not
withstanding tho short time in which
to prepare. Tho grounds that have
been purchsed, tho Ferryman property,
on the West side of town, are not sur.
passed for beauty in South West Geor
gia, as most of the citizens of this
county are acquainted with them and
will testify. Tho good citizens who
own Saw Mills have contributed
lumber to meet that demand, and a lib
eral sum of money has been subscribed to
put the grounds in order and eroct tho
necessary buildings. The Building
Committee are all live business mem
and with the interest now being man
ifested there is no doubt but that tho
Fair will be a grand success. Let'all
come to the rescue, and aid in this
work Elsewhero we publish a list of
premiums a# decided upon by our pre
mium committoo. In a few woeks we
will issue, in pamphlet form, the com
plete Premium List, together w ith pro
gramme and such other information
as w ill be desired.
Platform of tlie Pniiocralic
Party of Texas.
The noble Democracy of the “Lone
Star” State have adopted the platform.
All honor to them for utterly discard
ing the wrangling and divisions that
lead inevitably to the building up of
Radicalism, the disruption and final
defeat of tho National Democratic par
ty. The glorious old doctrines of the
true Demoeaaey aro reaffirmed not one
word is said about *tho “Necv Depart
ure and it is declared while yielding
obedience to tho Constitution and
laws," they hold to the cardinal princi
of tho National Democratic party and
with “abiding confidence” in it, they
“pledge” to it their co-operation and
support. We commend tho example
of the Texas Democrats to the atten
tion of Georgia Democrats.
Whereas, It becomes necessary from
time to time for the friends of consti
tutional govei’nmcnt to re-assert their
devotion to it, and to proclaim the prin
ciples upon which it should be ad
ministered ; and whem its enemies ob
tain power, to expose the nusurpation,
to the end that the whole people may
be aroused to action to protect their
lights at the ballot box ; therefore,
Be it resolved, 1. That the Democ
racy of Texas have an abiding confi
dence in the devotion of the National
Democratic party to correct principles
of government; and wo pledge our
selves to co-operate with it as an inte
gral part thereof, in its futuro efforts
to restore the government in its admin
istration to the principles on winch it
was founded.
2. That we rely upon the hongsty
and capacity of the people for self-gov
ernment.
3. That the constitution, as formed
by the free voice of the States, is tho
foundation of the powers of tho gov
ernment.
4 That the powers of the genoial
government are restricted to tho ex
press grants of the constitution, and all
powers not granted are reserved to tho
dates and tho people thereof.
5. Tho regulating of suffrage and
elections belongs to the respective
States ; and any interference by the
general government, with intent to
control either is a gross usurpation of
power, and the use of military at elec
tions to overawe tho people, and pre
vent a fair and full expression of their
political sentiments is uttorly subver
sive of free government; and should
be resisted by all proper means, until
the evil is abolished ; and an honest,
untrammelled ballot restored.
<3. The abolition of slavery as a re
sult of the war, is accepted as a fixed
fact, and it becomes our duty, by State
legislation to provide for the security
anti -wellbeing of all classes of men
native'or foreign bom, white or black.
7. The immigration of the white
races from all quarters of the world
should be encouraged; and there
should be no unreasonable impedi
ments or delay to naturalization and
citizenship. The Democratic party
having been uniformly in favor of a
policy torvard all persons of foreign
birth, who in good faith seek a home
among us.
8. That we will yield obedience to
the Constitution anti laws.
Bamum is to build an Opera Hoese
at Bridgeport.

Equality.
Ail old Scotch minister, on being
asked to preach a sermon in tavor of
equality', at a time of groat excitement
on that subject, said at the close of a
sermon, in substance as follows :
You asked mo to preach a Herman
on equality. Since that time I have
ranged in vision through the vegeta
ble world ; I saw' flowers of equal lus
ter and perfume, trees of unequal
height and value, but thero was no
equality there.
I passed to tho animal kingdom, and
saw the trained horses and the fierce
beasts of prey, the linnet and the
hawk, the sparrow and the eagle, the
sheep and tho horse, each occupying
a relative sphere.
In the sea where tho molluse and
tho whale, the dolphin and the shark,
tho timid and the fierce, each proper
ly organized and doing its proper la
bor, but I saw no equality.
Lastly, I entered the gate of heaven,
and on a great white thiono sat the
Judge of tho Universe ; cherubim and
seraphim fell before him, angelS of
lesser degree did his bidding. I found
seven heavens rising above each oth
er, but no equality there. I gazed on
the stars, and found “one star differ
ent from another star in glory,” but
there was no equally.
So you see that there is no equality
in all God’s vast kingdom.
A Remarkable Woman.
Ybf ut twenty miles from the Heal
ing Springs, in tho Alleghany Moun
tains, there lives a most remarkable
woman. Her name is Morrison, but
she is known all through the country
as “Miss Jennio Rucker.” She is
about sixty years of ago, has her hair
bobbed like a man’s, wears a man’s
bat, and rides a horse astride. Hunt
ing is her means of livelihood, and she
kills deer, bear and other game with
tho skill of forty year’s experience.
Not long since she w'ounded a deer,
but before coming up with it another
hunter—a man—had gotten to it and
commenced carving it up The old
lady expostulated with no avail, and
finally drew a bead on him with her
rifle to enforce her “rights,” the fel
low jumped behind a tree, but left his
heel exposed, at which vulnerable spot
the old lady fired and hit. She got
her deer. She has nine or ten child
ren, and is said to treat all travelers
hospitably who stop at her cabin.—
Letter from Bath County Virginia.
"Proposed Monument in London to
Stonewall Jackson. —When tho tid
ings reached England that “Stone
wall’’ Jackson had fallen in battle,
there was a profound feeling of re
gret. Leading men in London set to
work at once in order to devise how
they could best givo an expression of
sympathy for tho causo in Avliich a
great man had fallen. It was resol
ved to raiso subscriptions iu order
to erect a monument with an appro
priate inscription. Plans wero sent in
to the committee ; a design selected ;
and at least the monument was so far
finished as to be taken to America in
pieces and there fitted. An elegaDt
railing to protect and adorn tho mon
ument was also constructed.
When all was ready for shipment
(it is believed) on account of strong and
somewhat effensive representations by
the American Minister then in London
the English authorities put forth
strong influonco not to scud off the
monument for the present Those in •
fluenecs at the time prevailed. The
packages wero taken to an artist’s
studio iu a back street in London,
and are probably there still.
A sketch of the monument was
given at tho time in one of the lead
ing journals, with a severe and with
ering condemnation of the government
for the mean course they suggested
and enforced.
The inscription contained strong ex
pression of sympathy on behalf of the
Southern States.
These facts we learn from a gentle
man who was in England at the time
-—Atlanta Constitution.
From the Savannah News.
Eight Hundred and Seventy-five
Thousand Doliars. —Our cotempora
ries are warned to boware of an adver
tisement with the above heading, sent
out by a firm calling themselves Ben
son, Mills & Cos., 32 Bond street, New
York. This is the the third change
in the Metropolitan Cash Prize Com
pany, and is indicative of a big swin
dle. Look out, Green horns.
Columbus and Albany liailrord. —At
tho called meeting in Columbus on tho
Dili, says the Sun, Hon. Martin J.
Crawford was called to the chair, and
Major J L. Dunham Avas apointedSec
retary. Astor some explanatory remark
by the chairman a report of the Com
mittee was called for and read by Gen
eral Benning, chairman of the Com
mittee. The report was able and full
and gave great satisfaction to the largo
audience assembled fully vindicating
the importance of the enterprise Us a
feoder to tho commerce and industrial
interests of Columbus, and as ft safe
and paying investment. Tho report
recommended a subscription of 200,-
000 and was unanimously adopted.
It is noted ns a curious fact that the
civil war in this country was one of
tho causes of the present famine in
Persia. The high price of cotton re
sulting from the war induced many
of the smaller cultivators iu the Per
sian cotton belt to abandon other crops
and devote themselves almost exclu
sively to cotton growing, and depend
for food upon ihe Southern provinces.
Hence a failure iu the wheat and rice
districts lias proved equivalent to a
general failure.
Ilero is something for tlio Radicals
to look after. According to their logic
it is but right to force the rebels, since
they were instrumental in producing
tho famine, to relieve tho starving
Persians. A Persian bureau should
at once bo created to gather tithes of
tlie offending insurgents,— Register.
The Philadelphia Age has tho fol
fowing. Fifty companies of infantry
live of cavalry and a light battery of
four guns, are to constitute tho mili
tary force of the District of Columbia.
This is a heavy array of men and guns
for such a sm all territory in time of
peace. But Gen. Grant favors a mil
itary form of government, and wishes
to surround himself Avith bayonets, in
order to be prepared for a coup d'etat,
in case such a step should be necessa
ry to maintain power. From the Ku-
Klux bill to a Napoleonic coup d'etat,
tho step is but a short one.
During the month of July, says the
Washington Patriot, tho marine disas
ters to Vessels belonging to citizens of
tho United States, or bond to and
from the ports of this country, are re
ported to be twenty-three in number.
Os the vessels suffering these disinters
eleven were wrecked, four foundered,
three sunk by collison, two wero aban
doned at sea, two Avere burned, and
one is missing, the fate of which is
yot unknown. Ono steamer was lost,
two ships, four barks, five brigs, and
eleven schooners, of an aggregate
value of sl-9,000, exclusive of car
goes.
After many wonderful mutations, it
is said Napoleon 111 proposes to again
seek a home in Switzerland, the free
land which sheltered him in his early
days of exile and obscurity. Thus the
sight of asylum, which despots nearly
all ignore and which Napoleon him
self would have readily violated when
lie was at tho height of his power, is
once more invoked from a liberal Eu
ropean republic, and the ex-Emperor
goes back to bracing mountains to
dream of past greatness or, perhaps,
to concoct schemes for tho restoration
of his dynasty.
A Jvertucky farmer being asked
what he thought of the new departure
replied that it appeared to him “as if
some impatient Democrats, seeing the
Radicals going to the mischief on a
down grade, with the brake off, had
determined to heat them by jumping
on the cow-cather.”
It will cost $371,000 to cnlaigo tlio
Augusta Canal.

TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS.
NEW ARRANGEMENT
FOR
F-.IL, 1 8T 1.
Having disposed of all but a remnant of our Groceries, we think proper to
announce that we shall not replenish that branch of our busin ss, as we have
determined to abandon it altogether. This change docs not contemplate any
reduction of our business, but is found necessary to encourage rather than
| check tho rapid growth of our business in other departments. In future vve
shall devote ourselvec exclusively to
DRY GOODS, BOOTS AND SHOES, CLOTHING,
HATS, FURNISHING GOODS, AND NOTIONS.
Tn our Retail Department, wc shall offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale,
we shall offo r at all seasons the best stock in all the enumerated brandies to be
found in this State, or South of New York. We iiivito the attention of Mer
chants to an examination of our stock of
Domestic and "Woolen Goods*
Which were bought before tho late advance, and in which we can ofi.r great
inducements YVe deal heaylly in all
GEORGIA. MADE GOODS;
And have made special arrangements with loading Factories whereby we shall
never require more than the Factory price. YVe make a special business of
CALICOES.
And shall keep at all times a stock from which anys : ze order can be filled.
As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their
business, we hope to receive calls from many this season who have hitherto
failed to do so, as our stock will be unusually attrac'ive, and our promptness
in buying certain goods before the advance enables ns to offer some good bar
gains. Respectfully, J. B. ROSS &S. T. COLEMAN
