took no action on ths two-thirds rule and
gave to her delegates neither formal nor

was in the possession of the information
that I'ike's delegates were not instructed:
for in the ieiue of the same date appeared
a communicf lion from like, in which
these words were nsrd: "The delegation
is not instructed aa to anything.” Now,
why should the Conslttofton so misrepre

for the past week. The weather is im
pleasant, nnd tbe seasons fine. Crops
doing well, and our energetic farmers are
in fine spirits. Quite a number of ladies
and gentlemen have gone to day to a Sab-
bath-school picnio at Mountrille. Mrs. A.
*. West, of Atlanta, is visiting Col. H. M.
). Boozer’s family. Mis*, tola Voros 1 and
Mrs. L. llall, of Atlanta, are the guests of
Mrs. Dr. R. H. Jenkins. Col. Walter
Zachrr. of the firm of Goodwin * Zachry,
of McDonough, is spending a few weeks in
our citr. (,'ol. Edward Wilkinson and lady
of LaGrange, are visiting relatives here.
Tbe addresa made by our genial friend,
Mr. J. C. Boozer, before the Phi Delta
Theta Sosiety at Montgomery, has been
~iry highly complimented by th* papers.
"Crino” accidentally got a parasol broke
over hie "pericranium” by a young ladjr at a
oountry exhibition a few weeks ago, which
has caused this delay.
Uncle Tom Burney, yonr able agent,
paid our town n visit this week, and did
good work fro ihe T. and M. There is a
littlo magnet not far from our town that
has considerable attractions for tbe Colo
nel. and it is currently reported that he
will establish a branch office in the city of
Grantviile.
Gubernatorial politics is growing! live
ly, and we are glad old Troup is for Ba
oon, and sincerely hope that the little
"Skillet-toter” and hie followers will be
defeated, when all tbe votes of the grand
old State are marshnled together. And
the man of the Independents may then re
tire to the quiet borne awaiting him, sur
rounded by the nine "oolonels.”
There has been a stock company formed
recently, under the style and name of
“Tbe HogansviUe Cotton Improvement
Company,” oompoeed of onr best and most
scientific farmers, in oonneclion with a
number of Northern gentlemen, organized
on the Uth of June, with Mr. Edward At
kinson as president. The stock subscribed
here is $UJ)00, and In Bo«ton $20,COO. Tho
lands on which the buildings will be erect
ed have been purchased, and the work com
menced. Tho buildings will be similar to
the main building in the cotton exposition
grounds at Atlanta, in tbe shape of the let
ter "T,” and ooveringovor one acre. The
object of the company is, first, to improve
on the old mode of ginning and baliug
ootton, and the manipulation of the seed,
linting, hulling, grinding and crushing
them for stock food and manuring
purposes. There will also be connected
with this enterprise machinery for pressing
out the oil and a modem flour and oorn
mill. The seed ootton will be weighed, nut
into the ginneries and come out a packed
bale wilh superior lint, AU tho improve
ment* for cleaning the cotton will be at
tached. 1 he sole cause of this grand en
terprise was brought about by the untiring
efforts of Maj. J. F. Jones, the scientific
and successful farmer of Tronp county.

the matter, and henoe succor* was his
crowning achievement. Mr. Thomas Ivy

“Two haggard shades, in robes of mist,
For longer years than each can tell,
Joined by a stern gyve, wrist with wrist,
llavs roamed the courts of bell.
ThciT cold hearts hate this union drear;
Yet one poor ghost was Lancelot,
And one was Guinevere!"
Please tell me their author, and if they
are an extract from a poem of length. If
so, what is the title and where can it be
found ? Tennyson, in the “Idyls of the

And (or the power of mlnUtretlon In her.
And likewise for the high rank she hsd borne,
Was chosen Abbess; there, an Abbess, lived
For three brief yean; aud there, an Abbess,

ties lost each a member of tbe Legislature
by the apportionment act passed by the
last Legislature, bnt under the provisions
of that act, they are clearly entitled to rep

ia yet in force.
Section second of the new act above re-
ferred to read: “Be it farther enacted
that this act shall not take effect until the

of Representatives expire.”
The opportionmeot aet referred toean

It seems very dear that the counties
