Horticultural Exhibition,
There will be given at the Fair Grounds
nt Thomasville, on the 2Sth of May next,
a Horticultural and Floral Exhibition.
Encouraging premiums are offered, to be
paid in gold, for almost everything that is
included in the terms above used. There
will be no eutrance fees charged—nothing
but admittance or gate fees, which is, as
to amount, insignificant, and only intended
to raise the amount given as premiums.
There is nothing selfish In this matter.
Not confined to Thomasville or Thomas
county, but all of South Georgia is in
vited to participate in this interesting
exhibition of early products. This notice
is given in time that all may go to work
in earnest and dress their gardens and en
courage the growth of their cabbages,
potatoes, and every Other vegetable, in
cluding that species of vegetable pro
duced by the Florida batchelor. Trim
your shrubbery and keep your flowers
fresh and blooming for the Coming tinufc
and have them combined in the most ar
tistic manner, and claim for Brooks county
some of the valuable premiums. While
We would avoid discouraging the ladies of
this or any other county in South Georgia,
we would notify them that in the skillful
arrangement ami tasteful combination of
flowers, it is next to impossible to excell
the ladies of Thomasville. The exhibition
last May excelled anything of the kind
we ever saw, and now, as the notice is
longer and there is much more time to
make preparations, we may confidently
expect that to be excelled this year.
Accommodation trains will be provided
at a reduced fare, for all who wish to at
tend. No freight charges for articles to
be exhibited; so, much may be enjoyed at
little cost. Yon have nearly two months
to provide for that day of pleasure, and we
hope to see such a multitude on that oc
casion that these exhibitions will be a
fixed certainty every year.
MfMcnKir of IHe Covenant.
Wo Imw received the January and Feb
ruary numbers of this Christian magazine, <
edited by Iter. L. F. W. Andrews, devoted
to the Universe! Church and to tin; doc
trines of Universal salvation. We take
pleasure in stating that I >r, Andrews is n
Writer of much experience, of much native
ns well ns acquired ability, as none will
eontradict who will carefully read his
magazine. In his discussions ho observes
the highest degree of courtesy to the num
bers of the press, and makes no war upon
any other Christian denomination. If the
doctrines of Universalism is in conflict
with the Bible, they ought to be read and
understood, so that they may be con
demned successfully. All eliristians should
make sin conspicuous, and point out every
danger; but to bo able to doso they should
first understand in what the sin consists
and where the danger lies. Universalism
must be understood before it can bo suc
cessfully refuted, and if it is pernicious
and dangerous, the sooner it is understood
the more easily avoided. Therefore, we
recommend onr readers to subscribe fur
the Messenger of the Covenant, which will
cost but two dollars per annum.

A Terrible AfTlictior ■
It is our painful duty to announce this
morning the death of .Tames Taylor, eld
est son of Capt. Jeff. W. Taylor, foreman of
the Morning Mews composing rooms. The
deceased was out on Haturday attending
to his usual business, and returned home
in the afternoon complaining of feeling
chilly. His indisposition increased, com
pelling him to go to bed, and last evening
about six o’clock he died. The deceased
was about fifteen years of age and was a
very promising youth, respected and es
teemed by all who knew him. In this
sudden and terrible affliction the family
have our heartfelt sympathies. —Savannah

The bereaved family in this, their sore
nffliction, have the sympathy of thjs of
fice.
Major Gallaher, editor of the Indepen
dent at Quitman, Ga., has alarmed the
natives of the Sandwich Islands, and
evoked the righteous indignation of the
citizens of his town and county by writing
an erudite essay on that palatable esculent
denominated the turnip. —Fort Valley
Mirror.
Thank you, Brother Mirror, for the
word esculent. When we speak of them
things in the future, for the sake of our
readers we will use an up-country phrase—

Sacresufiil Shooting.
JnmesWilson, son of Mr. Jerry Wilson
of this county, on Thursday morning last,
killed at one shot, four wild turkeys. V. u
hope we will come in for a share of the
next shot; strange that we were not re
membered this time. Jerry is a good citi
zen and knows how to appreciate gentle 1
hints.
Fresh goods just received, which were bought
at panic prices, and will be sold the same way.
Call early and secure the cheapest goods yet sold.

First Impressions,
Of Quitman, of course, for here tile ears
i dropped us two weeks since, and here, for
tho present, wo aro sojourners. When
we left the land of frosts for tho land of
flowers, a mouth since, Florida was our
destination. The object of our pursuit i
was not pleasure, but health. Wo spent
tho last sctisou on the St. John’s, and
though finding the climate of E. Florida
good, wo found the country very mouoto- j
nons, nnd a single week sufficed to make !
us sick of its sands and unmitigated
flatness.
Whilst stopping in Savannah a few days
to recruit, after a stormy and perilous
voyage from New York, we came in con
tact with some individuals from this place
and its neighborhood, who gave us such
a favorable account of its hcalthfulnoss
that we at once began to talk of changing
our programme. Further inquiries went
to confirm first reports, and our “better
half” says, “Wo will go to Quitman,” and
here we arc at the McNeil House.
Since arriving here we havo looked
around somewhat, nnd kept our eyes and
; cars open to learn what wo could of the
place nnd people. Who had the planning
|of the place wo do not know, but this wo
do know: whoever they were, they were
j men of singular forethought and wisdom,
i For proof we point to its main street, of
j most magnificent width, end which in
time, when siiido trees have lined its
I sides nnd arched it ever, will bo sorae
| thing of which tho people may well be j
I proud. All tho streets running parallel!
with this, nnd those cutting it nt right!
I angles, aro also of good width, and tend to j
give tho place a roomy look, nnd years j
lienee will enhance its attractions a
hundredfold. We therefore congratulate
the good people of Quitman that their
streets are not contracted nnd crooked
cowpnths, ns is true of many if not of
■ most places more pretentions than theirs,
j and a granite column ns high as Hunker
i Hill monument might well bo erected to
I the memory of those whose wisdom ruled
j in this matter.
Many of the. houses also, though small,
| have a cosy nnd comfortable look, as all
| homes should—as a little attention and a
, very small outlay of labor and money are
I sufficient to give a bright and cheery look
;to any place. A yard, stocked with some !
! choice flowers, and watched over and
trimmed and trained by a mother's or
daughter’s hand, and a judicious use of a
little paint, give tiny place a marvelous
sweetness, and raise high in your estiinn- |
tiou the occupants thereof, though tneir
names be unknown to you.
The Court House is also finely located,
; and in an ample enclosure. This, twenty
years hence, will be a beautiful spot,
more so we think than most now imagine.
| As you approach the building from the !
south the view is exceedingly fine.
As it regards tho people of Quitman, |
our knowledge of them is necessarily
scanty; but this we will affirm: that, no
: well-disposed individual need bo afraid of
| them. There is a manifestation of kind
ness and cordiality that, if not remark
' able, is certainly most, commendable. If
j nil strangers nl’e treated as we have been
j (and they doubtless are) they will have no
; reason to complain. Their courteousnoss
j and hospitality are worthy of imitation.
; Wo would like to send some people that
i we “wot of” to school here, and see if
; their manners were eapablo of ituprove
■ ment.
j We havo asked ourselves the question
j many times. “Is there any whisky dj-nnk
in Quitman?” Of course there is. It
would be a marvel if there Was not; but
j during our short stay hero we have not
' seen an individual whom we thought hud
; been indulging freely in the use of ardent
i spirits, and from this we infer that in
! temperance is discountenanced here. It
1 speaks well for a community when a
i member thereof, if lie wishes to make a
beast of himself by intoxication, lias to do
it on the sly, and when its grog shops can
jbe found only in narrow lanes nnd the
■ most by-places.
j As it regards the hcalthfulness of Qnit
i man, we of oourso cannot say much from
{ our own experience, but from what we
; have seen, and from the balmy air wo
i have breathed since we came here, we
j should judge that the climate might bo
j equally as good as that of Florida, if not
| better, the ground being higher and the
i country more undulating. After a longer
stay here we shall be able to speak more
! intelligently on this subject.
Wo have said a few words of tho people
' of Quitman, simply expressing onr honest,
j opinion. Iu closing we will add what
! we know, Mr. Editor, you will not deny:
1 That if nil the people here and elsewhere
were as large-hearted and kind as is our
I host of the McNeil House,* all littleness
i and bitterness would die out of the world.
| We have traveled much ’’a on- own land
| and other lands, and a landlord more
i courteous and obliging we havo never met
i with.
7j. B. Burnt.
The writer of the above letter is a minis
j ter of the Gospel and a citizen of Gon
! necticnt. He speaks truthfully and im
! partially, and if all the men who have
; come South since the war had written and
, spoken honestly, as he does, the discord
j ant elements between the two sections
| would long since have been harmonized.
All snch men and women as Mr. and Mrs.
Burr will command the respect and receive
the kindness of our people. We wish
Connecticut would send us a thousand
Burr’s with their families, who would be
come permanent citizens of our county.

Murder Trial In Thoimnv 111c*
Tho supposed murderers of Juniper
Hall, Into of Thomas Comity, is now on
trial, a special term of the Superior
Court having been ordered for the pur
j pose of tho trial of said cases. Emanuel
Cormick, who claimed n severance, was
| put upon his trial on Monday last The
jury being made up on Monday evening
the investigation commenced on Tuesday
morning and ended tho snino evening;
the argument consumed tho whole of Wed
nesday, the jury receiving tho charge at a
late hour at night, llut a few minutes
sufficed for the jury to make up their ver-
dict, which was murder iu tho second de
gree. The defendant in this caso was
ably defended; his extreme poverty made
! it necessary for the Court to assign him
J counsel. Messrs. Hammond A Davis, Goode
A MeSwaiti, J. W. Kendrick, and O. G.
Guriy of llaiuhridge were appointed. The
defense was ably conducted, and argu
ments highly creditable to tho counsel for
the defense was made. Tho prosecution
was conducted by 11. G. Mitohell, Solici
! tor General, aided by J. 11. Alexander,
■ James L. Seward and A. T. Mclntyre, It
is needless to say tlmt tho prosecution was
conducted with ability. As our paper
circulates extensively in Thomas county
we will not venture an opinion ns to the
probable result. Wo have no disposition
to prejudice the public mind against the
defendants yet to be tried. Another jury
is mad > up, and Nimrod Bird and Charley
Ponder, are now on trial. They uro re
garded os the principal actors iu the
crime.
R* Interred*
The remains of the late Mr. M. ,T. Cul
pepper, one of thi! first settlers of Quit
man, mid one of its most prominent
business men, who died in Houston—his
nativo county—August 1872. In con
formity with his wish, expressed a short
time before his death, his body was ex
humed from tho grave in Houston, where
ho had been buried by his relatives, who
wished to retain his remains (though con
trary to his expressed wishes) in his native
county, but bis friends here, equally
anxious to have him near them and fully
determined to Carry out his wishes, ar
rived ott the nine o’clock train Thursday
night with his remains. Upon the arrival
it was thought by his friends necessary
that the interment should be immediate.
So, in the stilly hours of tho night, he
was taken from the cars to his last resting
place in the Quitman cemetery, attended
by all his friends who was informed of the
fact. The deceased,though not n riu ndierof
any church, left an enviable record for j
honesty and benevolence, and his many
deeds of kindness to the poor will live j
long in their memory, though his chari- j
ties have ceased.

A Commendable Improvement.
The Methodists of Quitman have deter
mined at last to make the Parsonage an
inviting homo for their Minister. Ample
means have been subscribed, and such re
pairs ns are needed to tho wood work will
be made, and tho entire, building, which
is commodious, will bo thoroughly and
elegantly painted. We aro glad to see
this; it speaks well for tho Methodists of
our town. If wo had been a member we
would long since have urged this improve
ment, and if able, would have contributed;
but wo Were an outsider, and nil effort or
proposition on our part might have been
regarded ns officiousness, and resulted in
more harm than good. We havo always
thought if a church owns property it
should preserve it as a religious economy,
and we do think if we have a preacher
(and it would boa sad thing to live with
out them) we should make his house at
tractive and comfortable and furnish him
all the necessaries of life, which will enable
him to devote his entire time to his high
calling.
To Ttt % * i

General. I hereby give notice that I will
proceed at once to collect all taxes due on
wild lands returned in Brooks County.
All pnrtic s who claim such lands, whether
lying iu Brooks or any other county, if
returned in Brooks, must pay tho tax at
once, or the same will be collected as the
law directs.
mai7-4t J. M. Sdeaheh, Ordinary,
For the benefit of the owners of wild
land, we give the Act of the Legislature,
passed at tho last session, upon which the
Comptroller if-sues his instructions;
“Provided, that for tho more safe nnd
speedy collection of the taxes on wild lands
under the Act of 1873, the ordinaries of the
several counties of the State are herebyro
quired forthwith to send to the Comptrol
ler General all money in their hands collec
ted under said Act with a statement of the
amount for each county, and the lot, or
lots, on which the same has been collected
by him, and upon failing so to do, the
Comptroller General is hereby required
to issue execution against the Ordinary so
defaulting, mid collect as in ease of defaul
ting tax collectors, and upon receiving
amounts from the Ordinary he shall give
credit to the respective counties, nnd give
notice thereof under the provision of this
Act.”

A NATURATTYE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS
DIEECTF.D BY GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON
DURING THE LATE WAR.
This book, written by General Johnston,
is now offered to the public, and will
doubtless prove one of tho most tinillingly
interesting works over offered to the
Southern public, and particularly to the
Southern soldiers that was under his com
mand. Though concisely written, it em
braces every material fact in l-ogard to his
operations. To his soldier boys it will
awaken many sad as well as pleasing
reminiscences. It will turn back the pages
of memory nnd present vividly to the
recollection tho many battlefields, the
many comrades and 00-sufferers that fell
and is no more; the many hard conflicts,
the weary marches through rain and
shine, cold and heat.; and the crockets
behind tho army and out of danger should
carefully read his truthful statement, and
in it behold the imbecility of their criti
cisms nnd their wanton and unjustifiable
persecutions of this great commander.
This book is now offered by Mr. O. T.
Terry, our townsman and fellow citizen,
tho agent for the publishers, who will sell
it at publishers prices.
We take pleasure in recommending it to
