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. Address, Dr. L. F. W. Andrews, Macon, Ga. 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 Mews 2'/. 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— S. Q. Lent. Sacresufiil Shooting.

[Written for the Independent.] 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. —— -:o: —- More Mules.

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. :o:—i—i—. 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 Tli.-ing instructed by the Comptroller- General. I hereby give notice that I will proceed at once to collect all taxes due on wild lands returned in Brooks County.

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.
