From the glorious land of souls. Dentil’s cold gloom now parts asnnder, lx*, the folding shades are gone ! Mourner, upward! yonder, yonder, God’s bright day will come ere long.” The writer tenders his deepest sym pathy to the afflicted family. Airs. Lyons has been critically ill, hut I am glad to know that her friends are now morehopeful of her case. Airs. Fox, her only daughter, is attending her in her sickness. The presiding elder visited Turin on Saturday evening last. Spring-like days, and T hear of a few Mr. Editor:—It. always saddens us to i - - - , , _ make an announcement of death, but! feel peculiarly sad in we teel peculiarly sad m announcing the death of Col. W. W. Hardy. He died at 6 P. M., on Saturday last. While not wholly unexpected, the event has j cast a gloom over the entire community, j Fie was one of us and he has left many j mourning friends. It is doubly sad to j be cut down in the prime and vigor of j manhood. We have known him for i fifteen years, and looked upon him as a j high-toned Christian gentleman. He | was an honor to his parents, to himself! and to his kind. The funeral sermon ! was preached by Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt on Monday afternoon, at the Methodist 1 church, and the building could not con tain the large number of friends assem bled there to pay the last, sad tribute of respect to his lifeless remains. We were too unwell to attend the services, hut as we sat by our window and be held so many of his young friends, male and female, pass by in ’that long, sad procession, our mind reverted back only a few months ago, when he was the yerv picture of health. Now, he is borne to t,he grave. How soon may- loving hearts and tender hands be per forming the same sad otlice for some one or more of them? He was buried in the cemetery here with Masonic honors. Our deepest sympathies are. extended to the bereaved family, pray- : ing that this sad dispensation may not be without some gracious fruit. The golden wedding of Rev. and Airs. D. Nolan was saddened by the death and burial of the infant of their son, Mr. J. Y. Nolan. , . Air. Pinckney Nolan and family, of Atlanta, visited his parents here last wcuk. For some days past we have been un der the weather, so to speak. Guess there was cause for it; probably several causes. We went to Griffin last week and was taken soon after we came back. Then, “Farmer” may have idven ns a tilt under our fifth rio, (not, Joab like.) At any rate, we were sick; but for a day or so we have gotten back came into our old habit of making regular dining-room visits. So, we hope, our danger period lias passed. The mumps are asserting their su premacy rather promiscuously, they are no respecter of persons. If either gender is exempt, it is the neutei gen der. We do not know if our bomb proof is impervious or not. Can tell How many readers of The Herald and Advertiser keep a scrap-book. They are a good thing to have. Often times in reading we come across some piece we would like to preserve. How convenient then would it be to ha,ve a scrap-book, so it could be pasted in for future reference? In the course ol time a volume could be formed of the most choice and interesting reading matter, at a very small cost. Mr. M. 11. Couch has purchased the store-house in Haralson, recently built by Air. G. I>- Floyd, and will estab lish a branch of his business there. Mr. W. B. Edwards, Jr., will be in charge. As it is a matter of general interest we purpose, as far as possible, getting an estimate of the acreage sown in small grain, its present prospect, and also comparative acreage of cotton and corn, for your next issue. The peach crop is killed, save possi bly some few trees that have bloomed since the freeze. The apple blooms were not far enough advanced to be in jured. We hear of a few r cases but none serious. . . Another addition to the infantry at George Couch’s. It is a bo£ April 4th. Saturday nights are being made rath er boisterous by drunken negroes, and the cause should be looked into. April 4th. R. A. T. J. A. PARKS. THE NEWNAN CARRIAGE AND BUGGY WORKS. Puckett Station. Mr. Editor:—Mr. Ben Fry went to Senoia not long since to see his cousin!,?) Afore rain—more rest. Mow hay next summer. Airs. T. O. Dunn is visiting lier moth er, Mrs. Weaver, in Atlanta. Mr. T. J. Young was so unfortunate as to have a fine young mule to die this week. It. has only been eleven months since he lost a fine mule. Air. James L. Cruse had a fine milch cow to die t his week. Walter Bingham is much improved, though he is in an alarming state now, if what he says be true; he says he “feeis like three little boys are on the inside of his head beating out peas, but he reckoned he would be all right when they finished.” The church building is progressing finely, under the management of Air. Bill McWilliams, R. D. Cole & Co.’s foreman. Mrs. L. C. Reynolds has returned to her home at Esom Hill, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. W. A. Brannon, aiid children, who will spend some time over there. 1 have heard some of our citizens ex press themselves as w anting the name of our little town changed. I don’t think there could be a more suitable name started than “Fuckett,” for sev eral reasons. It is the only place in the State of that name; it doesn’t end with a “ville;” the railroad likes the name, and it is w r ell enough not to wor ry the railroad too much if we want a depot. No doubt the name could be changed to something else, but this can become as large a town, as good a town and as pretty a town by the name of Fuckett as anything else. . Alisses Lou Camp and Almnie Moore v ame up from LaGrange last Friday eve, accompanied bylalarge Newfound land dog. The dog belonged to 1 rof. Cox, of LaGrange. His master was soon notified of his whereabouts and came up for him on Sunday. Directly the train left here, after the young la dies got off, the dog got lost from them and ran alter the train for some dis tance; he soon decided that hecouldn t keep up with the “cannonball, and ran at large until Sunday morning when lie was captured by a pretty young lady. It was thought a little strange that the dog wouldn’t follow a man, but, he is excusable. It was the way he had been trained. Mr. W. C. Galloway, from Dallas, Texas, is visiting relatives in the corn- inunity. ]NIr. (rcillowcty is 11 nfort u- iiate man, having lost his eyesight by an explosion during the war. The remains of little Dan, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John Rollins, of New- nan. were brought down on the ‘can non ball” last Monday morning tor in terment in the church cemeterj lieie. The services were conducted by Rev. W. G. ARNOLD Mr. J. W.Reese, proprietor of Reese s Ferry, on the Chattahoochee river, in forms the public that if the road ing to his ferry is not worked he will be forced to discontinue the ferry, and will not be responsible for persons cross ing at that point. Wednesday morning.—Our section was visited tli s morning by the heaviest j rain and hail storm that has fallen ( here for years. Some of the hail-stones were as large as partridge and guinea i eggs. Land was badly washed. No j wind to damage anything, that I have heard of. Lightning was almost in-' cessant. , , Since writing the above I am delight-, ed to learn that Airs. E. S. Daniel s, condition is very much improved. Vegetation is putting forth very rap- i idlv, and soon the woods will be green. Col. F. F. Smith requests me to say ! that he is no candidate, nor does lie i want to be; that he loves everybody j and wishes them well.

We have received a large and elegant assortment of Spring Clothing, comprising sunlight storming rains. en a fresh start this week and are fast preparing their lands for planting the lleecy staple. Contractor Lawlaw, of Hogansville, has begun the construction of Mr. John I Miller’s dwelling house in Corinth. We had the benefit of hearing Rev. Wood, the regular pastor of the Meth odist church at this place, deliver one of his forcible sermons Sunday, it was a beautiful day aud the church had a full attendance. . Mrs. N.

Turin Mr. Editor:—Below I give the order of the ordination services at White Oak Grove church, on .Saturday last- The ordination sermon was pi.cached by Dr. J. H.

Richard Hearn is down this week looking after his farming interests. April 5th. Zubetus. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—The sick I spoke of last week are all better now. But we have other sick ones to report: Mrs. Ed. Daniel is quite low, I learn; Mrs. Ben jamin Leigh is sick; Mr Thorny Smith 19 on the sick list, and Mr. J. W. M lll- coxon has two very sick children. I am almost sick yvith a bad cold, which 1 have had ever since I took it. Road working is in order, and 1 did a hard day's work for the public last Monday. The local road law of this county is a very unwise law, as well as unjust. I yvorked the public* roads from the time I was 16 years old until I became 50 years old, and thought at that age I would be road free; but our mule, which is old enough to make ti tles to land, is subject to road duty or a fine of three dollars per day, or is lia ble to be imprisoned in the county jail fora term of not less than 30 nor longer than 60 days if she fails to work, and to keen her from being- disgraced I shouldered niv hoe and did a hard day s work. It hint all mules, horses, oxen and wagons that have armed at the ige of fifteen year^ ought, to be put on die retired list, and I am not going to vote for any man to go to the Legisla te who is not in favor of exempting all *uch stock and wagons, and allowing them to draw a yearly pension.

I wonder if steers have any remorse of conscience? It seems not; at least such is the case with one in Corinth. It was only a lew days ago that he, after a performance, looked as solemn as a judge, “while liis driver looked more ways than one.” The young man who drove this one has our pity, though he thinks the way he slided off that cider ke ir , in a “south”-yvard direction m the mud on the back of his neck, aru» waded out of Potato creek, “is noth ing to nobody.” Resident. April 3d. The Will-o'-the-wisp not Yet Ex plained. Mr. Editor:—it seems from the state ments of “Zubetus” and his brother rabbit hunters, that they were not on the railroad ilie night on which the mysterious light was seen by Air. T. -N. Bingham and others near Mr. Bing ham’s house; nor were they, according to their own statements, in the orchard of Air. Bingham on this night; nor were they near his orchard, according to their own statements. That “Zubetus can imagine his light could be seen on the railroad and in the orchard when he admits that neither he nor his broth er rabbit hunters were at either place, nor anywhere near either place, is al most as strange as the light.
