Georgia farm. Us example to a good
one, fn making his oonatry home m com-
fortable and attractive, and ought to be
noised abroad so that others may emulate
it. A more hospitable man to not to be
foeudinoor State to-day. ....
The oat crop is turning out wonderfully.
H. S. Vinson took efghty-flve bushel* offan
acre last week. It has not been decided
yet who will take the prize.
An old traveler paid the Oooaee Hooao
an enviable compliment tie other day.
He said that he bad been all over Georgia,
and had never slept In a botrt inithe State
that had as clean room* and tods as the
Ooonee House. The genial h<*U, Mr. and
Mrs. 8. B. Marshall, can smoke this In
their pipes. They deserve everything good
that can be said about their management
°*fbnr Major T. J. Burney alighted la opr
midst Thursday, and perambulated the
town. He found oat, no doubt, that near
ly all the folks in town who can read ere
already subscriber* to the TauwaarH and
Mbssenocb, aud so he had the grins. At
least that was the condition of his phi*
when we saw him. Balut.

yesterday, which wae much appreciate 1.1
The oat crop to undoubtedly the finest I
ever saw growing, and piomtoee a rich har
vest Stock food perhaps will not be so
scarce another year. Cotton, corn, wheat,
in fact every product to juft as promising
an heart cou d desire. The fruit wop is
exoellent as is also the berry crop, black-
berries being in abundanoe, which maketh
the colored part of the coalition party

Hon. J. t. Boynton nominated a* the
Democratic candidate for Congressman at
large, everyone knowing him recognizing
In him a pure, honest and able gentleman.
He would make lust each a repieeentatiro
homo in Villa Rica last Sunday evo. Ho
was just such a man after whoee manner*
any could tako pattern. He never grasped
one’s hand but what ho lsft him his friend.
Social, gentle and kind, he possessed all
the traits of him who to called a good man.
Ho died as he lived, having a numerous ar-
rap of tho warmest friends who mourn his
death, they having had the utmost oonfl-
denco in the man. H. B. M.
Hern ms I lie.
May 29.—Col. O. O. Woodward, of Gallo-
den, died there on the ICtti instant. His
health had been declining for more than a
year, and he met his fate calmly and re
signedly. He lived hln threescore years
and ten honorably and snocesst illy. No
man in Monroe county stood higher in tho
esteem of hie neighbor*, and no man’s
death will be more felt and limerted. His
death-bed waa like tho deep, calm repose
of a summer evening sky, when all nature
la husked to rest; and hi* departed soul,
like the vanishing son, peacefully disap
peared only to ehine in another and bright
er sphere! Bemoaned in death and be
loved in life, his memory will be long cher
ished bv hi* many devoted children and
warm f. lends.
The Baptists of Bamesvllle have pur
chased a cite nearer tho business por
tion of the town on which to bniid a hand
some church edifice. It is proposed to
erect a building to oost not less tk*u ?•*>,.
000. The proposition is not an unreasona
ble one. With the recognized ability of
their worthy pastor, tha Rev. R. I* Wil
lingham, the building of such an odiflee is
within the bounds of not a remote potsi-
bllity. The church building at present Is
too far from the oeutre of the town, and
the move is a wise one. Pikk.
Blakely.
Mat 30.—Whether we are in order or not
wo cannot siy, but “here goes,” anyhow,
ami if we are not, rule ns out. Our little
village seems to stesdiiy improve, quite a
number of new buildings being now in
procera of erection and others in contem
plation.
Crops generally are fine. We’ve made
all the oats here—this you have doubtless
hhtrtd already from oneoftnat John
Jones man’s communication* from Albany
referring to tho manner our farmers have
had to resort to in harvesting. Two of our
enterprising planters were in town with
ootton blooms on Saturday last
But little to report In politics. Think
the Hon. A. H. Stephens, the gentleman
“for whom the fires are lighted on the
mountain tope, and for whom the clans
gather in the valley,” stand* rather a poor
hand in our oounty. He’s got too much
■^7 Bpeerism and Feltotuem in his wav
of doing thing* to suit oar people. Blount's
our man for governor. In our judgment
he’d fill the executive chair with credit to
himself and honor to the State.
We have heard but one man spoken of
for Legislative honors from this county—
Col. R. H. Powell. The oolonelwis a
gallant “Confed,” and would make an
acceptable member.
We have had intimation that we are to
have another paper published here soon,
which will be known as the Blakely
Whooper. Let her coma—guess we can
stand her.
The Early Guards were reorganiz'd on
the J'th Inst, by electing Major J. F.*
Jonce captain, T. H. Gremmer, first lieu-
tenant, and E. L. Fryer second lieutenant.
Mrs. (jplonel B. H. Robinson, who has
been lying critically ill for teveral days
past, we are glad to state, to improving.
Under i s present management, we
consider the old Tn.soaAra and Mbbskx-
Oku the beat paper in the South. Well*
we’ll close. 8. L. C.

Mat 29.—A fine rainfall here yesterday.

plentiful. Crops generally, never in better
condition than now. F.P. G.

Mat 29.—We had a light shower last Sat-
urday. The season* this year have been
favorable to all crop* except the effect of
the cool ^weather on cotton. The oat crop
having proven goed, some farmers in this
section now have com toeell. Every coun

knuckle to a system of bossism and dema-

are enough oata made in the county tide

pretty good showing for Washington.

have been waging war eo bitterly for the

We want it distinctly understood that w*
are a pvt of the people don} want
Mr. Step hoc* for governor. Still, if he i*
nominated by the Democratic convention
we will be compelled to vote tor him as wo
have for tne past ten years. As for hi* re
tiring we don’t expect that of him,as states
men don’t do those things these dey*, for
wh«n a man is onoe sleeted there are only
three ways to get him out—namely, he
must either die out, be bought out or beat
out. There to no prospect of Mr. btepheoa
doing the first; a* to the
second, there are no buyer*, or at
least none who aro able to bid against Joe
Browufc M bar*’l;” as to the lest, the Demo
cratic party has not the “backbgne to at
tempt such a thing. It is too much afrind
that he will go over to ihe other side. There
fore, we havo about mad* up our mind to
vote for Mr. Stephens for the next twenty
years at least, for after he has held the
offioe of governor for four years, tbo “peo
ple” will be sore to want hi in foraomething
else. We know it to a bitter pill for some to
swallow, but we of the eighth have got
sorter osed to it.

and those who do only remain a short
while. The fine rains we are having keep
them close at home in the ootton fields,
getting ready for harvest. Wo had a heavy
rain, with considerable wind, a few miles
from here, last Thursday, blowing bo«n
grain. The greatest injury was received by
Mr. B. B. William*, who expected to make
nine hundred bushels of oats. They were
all blown to the ground. Everybody is
boasting of fine eropo. Some trouble in get
ting good stands of cotton, the cold weather
having killed it cut in some places badly.

Mat 29, 1882.—EdUora Ttleyroph a*id
Mesaenyer: I notice in the Atlanta Con
stitution of the 2Mth instant what purports
to be a report of the Georgia railroad case.
I will pn«# without comment the seeming
onsisLncie* of their report, nod notice
following only:
The charter of the Georgia Railroad
and Ratikiog Company was originally
B anted for thirly-rix yean, and expired in
Si, but it has been continued on suffer
ance by consent of the Legislature, and
there is no fear that the charter will t»e
forfeited, as there i* no each effort being
made by the commissioners or the Attor
ney-General.”
Now, Meters. Editors, I cannot think it
in any sense fair for the organ of the
Railroad Commission to publish, a* a foot,
that abont which the Atlanta Conatitution
to no manifestly mistaken. Thto case is
attracting attention all over the Slate, and
if the statement so published by the Con-
stitytion ware true, there eooU be bat on a
legal result for tho oasc, and that for the
defendants. There are doubtless many
holders of the stock of the Georgia Rail
road and Banking Company to whom the
foregoing publication came as a thunder
bolt from a cloudless sky. To relieve such
I have taken the liberty of asking a space
in j our vfluab'.e columns for such portions
of the charter of said company as bear
upon that point.
Section 2. of the dim tor, to in these words:
“Tho oompaoy shall have the exclusive
privilege of constructing railroads from
any point in thia State within twenty
miles of the road herein designated as tha
Union road, and its branches loading to
Katonton, Athens and Madison continu
ously to tho city of Augusta, for and du
ring tho term ot thirty-six years.”
Section 9 of enid charter is in these
words:
“The aforesaid company, tobeori
ized ss aforesaid, shall be called the 'C
gia Railroad Company,’ ard rhall have
perpetual sacoe*sion of members,” eto.
Section 15. so far as it bears on thto poiut,
is a* follows *.
“rhe exclusive right to make, keep up
and use tlio railroads aud transportation
authorized by thto act shall be for and dar
ing the term of thirty-eix years, to be com
puted from the time when fhe said road
from Augusta to either of the poiut* here
inbefore designated shall l>* completed for
transjortation. * • * * And after said
term of thirtr-six years shall have elapsed,
though the legislature may authorize the
cmiirnction of other railroads for the
trade and intercourse contemplated herein,
nerctthele**, the Georgia Railroad Com
pany shall remain and be incorporate and
vested with nil the estate, power* and
privilege* ns to their own works
herein granted nad secured, except
the exclusive right to make, \trp up, and
u*e railroad* over and through inch parte
of the country that rliall so have expired
by the foregoing limitation.”

Digest of Law* of Georgia, commencing

the statement published by the Ati.roh
Constitution. For the many who are in
terested, please publish the above.

Mat 29.—Nice thowtrs of raid continue
to fall—not euongh to materially injure
the crops, but to make them grow and look
nourishing. The corn crop is quite flat
tering in this section, farmers have been
put to bat little or no trouble with their
bottom-land com siuce the last prevailing
storm in April. Boll worms have been
lets known than for jesrs, though it seems
the lice ameng cottoi are more numerous
this} ear than of late years. They have
pLyed havoc with king cotton on the
plantation of Mr. H. Adame. It appears
that Mr. A. had ploughed the ootton the
second time, and conscquent'y had to
plough up and plant over. We don't mean
to say the whole crop at large, but iu spots
about over the farm. We ean emphatically
assert that Mr. A. also has fifty acres, more
or lets, of cotton that will average over
half a leg hi • h, full of sauaree, and will
soon o* in full bloom. Also, Mr. J. A.
Miller has a fine crop both of com and
ootton. Mr. M. is not a backward farmer,
bur, like old Uncle How.11, always up with
the times.
We further njtice that Mr. F. A. Adam*
has the beet sued of cotton of any one in
the settlement. He planted just after the
big freehot, in due timo to cronect with
the season*, he also has the finest garden
in the neighborhood—cabbage from three
to four feet broad, squashes, beets, toma
toes and varieties of all other garden veg.
stables in abundance. He also has ripe
peaches, which is quite a rarity for the sea
son. Plume and other trash are now get
ting ripe, and much richness will pretail.
We regret to learn of the death or the
widow of Jceeph Patterson, of thi* county,
who was token sick on last Thursday even
ing, and departed thto life on Saturday
last. She was a woman of good circa in
stances, and was much beloved by those
who knew her best.
Mr. D. 22. Knmth was thrown by a mule
a few days back and came near bring
killed, though now improving and able to

by the same mule Isst Sunday week. This

sent to the chain gang for two yean—after

Mat 31.-Alec Pari*, a brick mreon,
committed suicide here yesterday by taking
twelve grains of morphinp. He had been
drinking for some days i rvviou* to ths act.
What I can learn of hi* deed of eelf-
destruction amounts to this: He went into
tho drug store of Dr. J. M. Coufta and ask.
rd for a quarter’s worth of morphine,
•hich was refuted by Dr. Couch, where
upon he stated that ho wanted it for hi*
family. Upon that representation Dr.
Couch measured out fifteen grains,
but before he oould put it up in
the peper, Paris Jerked it np
and attempted to swallow the whole
fifteen grains, stying at the time he was
going to kill himself. Dr. Couch, acting
hie intention and effort to take the drug,
attempted to wreet it from him, but only
sueeeeded in getting from him about three
grains, Peris swallowing the remaining
twelve grains. After he swallowed tne
morph Be he per*ist*n!y refused to take an
antidote or euffsr anything to be done to or
with him to counteract the poisonous tafia-
eneeanti it was too late. The debtors did
all they could to k#•*» off death, but death
had set bis seal upon the. victim befoie he
woe Id submit to taeir innuenre in hie be-
half. He died In about two hours niter
taking ths morphino.

were tick with cold. The rain and warm

Mat 30.—Adjourned term of Superior
Court was held here yesterday—Judge
Warren. There were a few jorv trial?, and
enough other bosineia before tho court to
oerony the day, at tho close of which the
coart adjourned. There were a comber of
well-known lawyers present from outside.
And here 1st me any, from my quite limi
ted experience and observation, that the
man who fnneies that tho lawyers of Geor
gia are behind those of a much boasting
locality of “eulebah” of tho North, especi
ally of New England, why, “that's where
they make the mistake.” In reepeet, not
•imply of readiness, bat in law learning
the lawyers here aro # superior—the rank
aud file of them. The only objection to
the vociferous style In (quaking—often
quit* uncalled for, nor in the bc«t test*.
This style, too loud, often mikee the flesh
creep all up and down a man's spine to
hear it. It to rather oommon but not uni
versal. And I have heard it defended—
that the jury and bv-sitters are ignorant,
and are apt to think the more loss tho
more tower and brains, aud that the
party beaten will think that
hto lawyer if only he kleks u|
considerable dust and bowls well apL
heats the air. ought to have w> n.and at any
rate has dc- erred his fee. But the quiet
energetio conversational style if gaining
ground—H. G. Turner’s style. But Judge
G. J. Wright is better—a fine speaker,
hard to beat, and L A. Bosh of this place,
■peaks well and has a persuasive way.
In fact, the clergy, too, might give ns a
little letsof rant in their style—a little
more ot the quist persuasive didactic, and
less of the loud, hortative and thunder-and
lightning style.
Judge Warren looks rather better In
health ; as a judge his head teems quite
clear, hie legal knowledge ample enough
and ready, and with good health he would
be a inau of exceptional value in hto pres
ent place. We hear that he proposes tar
rying a while hereabout* to visit the tar-
pentino and rotin stills, in a view to help

On Friday last, as Mr. Robert Priee was
coming into Macon ou the Forty th road, he
met a pi an in a boggy whoee actions were
so ^jftsr as to attract Mr. Price’s atten
tion. When accosted ho said “he was

boggy, and thinking he had a deranged
man to deal with, concluded to got hold of
the weapon on first opportunity. Ue ap
proached tho man who threw np his hands
and said, “Don’t take it! don’t take it!”
putting his hands on bis breast pocket and
probably meaning his money. The pistol
waa aocured and Mr. Prioe calmed his fears
as to taking bis money.
By dint of coaxing it waa loomed that be

“Harry Anderson, of Mnoon, employe

He is about fifty years old, has no family,
and boards with Mr. John Harrington ou

been soen to havo large sums of money on

loss of s'me of his money a short time
•go 1« the cause of his derangement.
Lieutenant Wood iuformoa ns that about
n month ago Mr. Andersen went to the po
lice barracks, <«ud in an excited manner
reported the loas of a Urge sum of money,

The officers quickly diioovoted by his
notion that his mind was not all right, and
advised him to go home, nnd look CArofol-
