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. < nr roll ton. Mat 29.—'We had a very fino rain here 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 <5ur'oounty woold like very much to see 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. Leary. Mat 29.—A fine rainfall here yesterday. Cvrn prospects the beet in several years. Qata as good as could be asked for. Sever al corn fields in silk and ta**el. Cotton somewhat backward, although blooms art plentiful. Crops generally, never in better condition than now. F.P. G. Biabelf • 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.

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. No 8tot»xxs Max. ItelnbrldKC. Mat 27.—'The city council have passed a resolution guaranteeing to the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad the right of way from BainbriJge to Groen Shade Church, nice mile* south of tho city. Messrs. Maund Jt Harrell are reported to have purchased a very large saw-mill, which they propose to erect within the cor porate limits of the city in a short time.

Mat 27.—We measured to-day corn in a seventy acre field measuring eight feet two iuche* to bud and nine feet three inches to tip of blade—general average five to six fo.t high-all lookitg wall. The oat crop is exceedingly good; fine seasons, and la bor good and plentiful. The above field measured i* the one spoken of in your is- sue of the mh, on the farm of James Ty ler, Crawford county. Ga. Da. T. O. Champion, J. F. Hautlkt, O, H. Aykba. Wlatervllle. Mat 29.—Everything in the way ot buxi nes* to quiet. Few people come into town, 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. Horace are dying every day or two in this community. Vour correspondent lost a fine one last Tuesday. Don’t know the why or wherefore, unless £1.50 Western corn is the cause. We will atop the corn business now soon, for feeding, oats being the fullest einoe the war. Some predict the^vill sell as low as thirty-five cents per Dr. T. B.

Thepeaih crop will be tolerably fair, but the apple cron will be a'mos: a failure. Mr. L. IV. Smith, the euergttio represen tative of the f.-uit firm of J. T. Mott «k Son, of Macon, was in town yesterday, engaging fruit for th* season. A Gordon merchant, who was etung on the jaw while robbing his bee* the other night, applied to one of our young physi cians, and learned that he had « first-class case of mump*. The doctors don't know everything.

Tlie Georgia Knllroud inac 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.” These extracts can be found In Prince’s Digest of Law* of Georgia, commencing on page iM, They completely overthrow the statement published by the Ati.roh Constitution. For the many who are in terested, please publish the above. Justice. lllrknry Urove. 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 diaoharge business again. Mr.kC io ro Snip lers and family bare:y escaped being killed by the same mule Isst Sunday week. This mute to a i-rood jackass, aud he ought to be sent to the chain gang for two yean—after the crops me laid by. S. A. M. Reuiila 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. The crops are lmking remarkably well considering that but a few weeks ago they were tick with cold. The rain and warm •uosImm ha us infused new life into them. ll»e wheat to far better than wnajdAnt thought to be. In fact, the yietd of wheat and oaU will t# the greatest that was ever known here before, Ev«nWfhto(P)o4 t mi n are widened with the Camilla. 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 against any lung trouble he may have. A visitor to No** Hav-n, CL might have pointed out to him a hearty and robust man, having a stomach liko a New York alderman or a Southern colored bishop. It is Proftssor George P. Fisher, who hes recently essayed (satis factorily to any reasonable man) in the pages of the Xorth American Iteriew to answer Ingorsoll. At one time Fisher was the sun pietnre oi a “gone chicken,” slen der. pale and sickly, with no active acre- bellum to that fall and choice cerebrum, and eo was quite inefficient—a voice like a murmur, irritable and made unpopular by h*e fussiness -a D. D. (“dead duck.’’) Ho packed up ou a summer day and went with a party of friends and camped ost in the pinowoxle of the Adirondack*; he came back well, fat, large aud having a roioe like a howling wilderness. And erl- drntly if tuberculosis or dyspepsia ever get hold of him, they will get the worst of iL The same eourse may be the thing for Judge Warren. The weather is fino here now, and shs crops are all that oonld be desired. There are some patches of corn here where fifty bnshel* to the acre will be made. We aro now face to face with the coming summer, with its long period of heat and quiet and dearth of business; but also its cool nights, its luscious an<l cooling fruits and melons, nod with the hone we keep alive in ns. that the antumn shall come again with its brac ing air nnd new life, nnd the harvests that now promise so much; with also the bnstlo and stir of business. And eo we go on and eh«U go on through varying expert- euoea and varying seasons to other and possibly higher plsnes of of life. “For wo know that through tho ages one In- rrcoulng purpose runs. And the thoughts ot i process of the suns.” gamut—. May 31.—Our quiet littlo city was en livened, on the 29th Inst., by a tin wedding at tho residence of Mr. A. W. Cruiluhauks. At fin early hour tho elite ot the city as sembled, loaded down with presette of every conceivable shape and pattern, from the oruatnoutnl to the artful; from tho cap of ten cents to the flower stand of twenty dollars; from the unique to the grotesque, the latter causing much merri ment with the company. About ten o'clock the hostess, n charming tody, and unexcelled as a caterer, announced supper. Then we found the tables groaning under tho weight of sobatantisli and all the deli cacies of the season, with ice cream in four |>atterns—lemon, vanilla, pineapple, and banana. A higher compliment could not have been paid thecuirine than the zest with which it waa enjoyed by tho as saulting party. Miss M-ymour. of your city, added much to the occasion, by her sweet tinging and dotightful music, assisted by Miss Read, of this place. About two o'cloek tha guosto reluctantly withdrew, after such a dotightful season. To-day a fishing party of young todies and gcutlemen go to tha river armed with fishing tn ride, and well filled baskets in the •vent they are unsuccessful in capturing tae little ttohes. A trip through the country a day or two ago aetoutohed me as to the amount of grain sown nnd now beyond doubt ready for the reaper, as an iostanoe, Captain S. R. Brown lit• one hundred aud fifty acres in oats that will make from twenty to sev enty-five bushels per acre. He has oats sown tost fall under gresn trees (thanks to thene-fenoe law) which will yield sixty bushels per acre. Betides he has ono hun- drod acres in as fine corn ns I wish to seo, and three hundred scree iu ootton. choppod out and growing finely. Other farmers are doing equally aa well. GapL Adair has much wheat sown, and will make an aver age of twenty bushels per sere. If the seasons are propitious no more Western corn at $1.30 for Henry oounty. Our ladies are wide awake, and their yards are tilled with spring chiekens ready for the luuvesL L. A. F. • Jouesboro. Mat 30.—We thought we had a case ot ■mall pox in town Saturday, but upon in vestigation it proved to be only a good “take" of vaocination. Perry Aroher cones in sith the first cot ton tonaru.
