We publish on our outside of this issue “The Conquered Buimer,” with a reply to it by Sir Francis 11, of England. We publish it because it is a gem worthy of perpetuation in every Southern household. It thrills the paLiots heart in every nation; and from the traiw-Atlantic shore the echo returns, “treat it gently, for ’tis holy.” We would suggest to our reader, to cut it out and put it in a scrap book. All have doubtless seen it but few have preserved it,, _o Great attractions fur the ladies at Batons, Jelks A Co’s. o A few fine Ladies Hats at 8. Shandal’s. r>- Tbe Crops. The reports for the last week from relia able sources are exceeding unfavorable in reference to tho cotton crops. Until with in the last three weeks there has never been, within the memory of the oldest citi zens, prospects so favorable, and promis ing so large a yield, as the present crop. But the destroyer came, and prospects are 1 flighted. Planters that were bouyant with hope are now despondent. Fields but a few day/ago clothed with luxuriant foli age and fruit, are now fields of leafless and withering stems, retaining only the bottom crop and the most advanced portion of the middle crop. o Japanese Silks and Linens, at reduced price* Baioos, Jelks, A Go’s.

We had the pleasure tor several weeks past of daily, and almost hourly, social in tercourse with our friend, B. F. Wardlaw, of Madison, Fla., who has been on a visit to his friends and relatives of this place. He is gone now,' and we miss him. We would gladly have kept him, but we could not restrain him; the attractions at home were too great—our inducements too lim ited. We hope while we are regretting his absence others qre rejoicing in his pres ence; While to us his merry laugh is i hushed, we hope hit) genial smile will be as I refreshing to some sad heart as the kiss of the dews of evening are to the drooping plant. We think we speak the sentiments of the whole community when we express the hope that his visits may be more frequent in the future than thay have been in the past We havn’t bad a good, soul-stirring laugh since Tuesday; nwr have we heard one, and if the question was asked, “why not?” the response would be from many, “Ben is gooe.” ~ - Dr. J. X. K. Snow. We call attention to the cart! and also the advertisement of Dr. Snow, in this issue. The Doctor's communication shows his intentions in reference to his locating in our town, and how ho has been misrep resented with regard to his removal; but we think he deals rather gently with one who issuffieiently contemptible to originate such a report, The Doctor is a genial gen tleman, practices his profession, with which he is certainly familiar, upon the principles of professional honor, soaring above eontemptibilities, not doubting his ability to contend with honorable competi tors, conscious of his professional capacity to render complete satisfaction to his patrons. He has been engaged in his pro fession for thirteen years, a time sufficient, with the constant practice he has always enjoyed, to render him competent. With the people where lie is known he stands high in his profession. Tho Doctor was a faithful soldier from the beginning to the end of the late war; undto all such we, and we believe our readers are, warmly at tached, and feel inclined to patronize. As a dental surgeon we take pleasure in re commending the Doctor to our patrons, and hope they will call on him. o Silk Bops, Blaok Silks, Ac., at reduced prices, at Bilious, Jelks A Co’s. o Satin striped and plain Poplins, at reduced prices, at Brioos, Jei.kh A Co’s. o ,Wv Call Attention To the cold of Mr. C. M. Brown, in another column, with Weillcr A Bro., of Baltimore. Mr. Brown is well known in this town, and enjoys the confidence of those with whom he has done business. He was raised in the South, and was one of the first to enter the Confederate army, and one of the last to lay down his arms when the cause was lost. He is now doing business for a Southern house that offers equal, if not superior inducements to any Northern house. Then why is it, with one of our own boys representing a South ern house, a firm in every respect identi fied with Southern institutions und South ern interest, that our merchants try to deal with the cold blooded Northerner, that feels no interest in our welfare except to pluck us of our little guins ? Why not deal among ourselves and help and encour age each other to build up and to advance the interest of our own section ? We hope Mr. Brow n w ill receive many calls from our merchant readers o Genuine Durham Smoking Tobacco, manufac tured by Z. I. Lyon A Cos., at 8. Shandal a.

We heartily endorse every word in Dr. Jackson’s card, and would add other epi thets, and apply them just as he does, but it is unnecessary. The. three long-raved asses, w ith their jennet to copy, did this, ns they do all other acts, surreptitiously. If they will but act honorably one time in their life, and publish what they have to say over tin l'r ow n signatures, even though it be ot a personal nature, wo will subor dinate the rules of propriety for the pur pose of discussing private character, not through The Independent, lmt in eircu lar form. We will give the history of one of them, from his birth in a dirty lane iu the city of New York, down to his present disputable status. Wow ill give the his tory of another one’s acts here in our own country, that will mortify his relatives and would make the ashes of his aged lather iu the cold grave Dinah with shame for the apostasy of liis son. For his relatives’ sake we would gladly avoid it. o A few more of those beautiful trimmed Ladies Hats. Prices reduced, very low. Call at tbe store of Brioos, Jelks A Cos. A Card. Quitman, Ga., August 22, 1873. Editor Independent: Permit me, through the medium ot your paper, to say a few words in reference to the anonymous letter sent me with the re quest that I hand it to you or Mr. Brown. Why the base and contemptible poltroons sought to make me a medium through which to convey his or their low-flung billingsgate I know not, unless it was be cause I was your friend, and therefore wanted to offend me and have me guess who the cowardly villains are. It is evi dently one or all of the parties you have referred to in your recent withering ex pose of Villains, as none others could feel, or would be willing to take any interest in the matter. I handed you the letter after consulting two or three of your warm friends in reference to the propriety of so doing, all of whom agreed that you would know how to deal with it. Of course, your judgment, like all right-thinking men, is that the parties who wrote it, or arc capable of such an act, are capable of all other acts of cowardice, such as assas sination, burglary, arson, theft, extortion, perjury, and everything within the cata logue of crimes. I have noticed carefully all of your articles, and not in a single in stance have you stooped to the cowardly business of attacking private characters through your paper, but you have confined yourself to official and political acts, gener ously tendering the columns of your pa per to those whose public acts you had criticised to make explanations. They have never availed themselves of your of fer, nor have they attempted it through any other medium, to my knowledge, ex cept by their contemptible letter directed | to me, as above stated, in which they pro ! pound questions to you and Mr. Brown, in reference to your past history The cowardly author of the letter to you and the note to myself, if ever satisfactorily discovered by me, may rest fully assured that I will cowhide him on tho streets. I was fully apprised on the night previous to the receipt of the letter that it was dropped and ready for me. lam fully aware that when I presented the letter to you, and while we were commenting upon it, that we were evesdropped. I am, sir, your friend, Chas. T. Jackson. The fluster Cot toil. Mr. J. D. Wade, of this county, brought us a limb of cotton of the Dixon Cluster variety, with eighteen forms; some were bolls, almost matured. With reference to this particular variety of cotton we have this to say, not with the view to its dis paragement, but that planters may not be deceived in purchasing the seed w ith the hope of raising the cluster variety exclu sively, and we give Mr. Wade’s experi ence, and vouch for his reliability. He obtained from Mr. John Tilmau, Mr. Dixon’s agent for the sale of the cluster seed, two stalks that had been sent, to him as an advertisement of that particular va riety. Mr. Wade planted tho seeds en tirely to themselves, removed from contact with any other variety, and from the en tire number of seeds there are but two stalks of the original variety, all the other stalks resembling iu every particular the ordinary varieties. AVlty this is so is a problem we leave for practical farmers to solvo. O'- A Curd. Quitman, Ga, August 22. Editor Independent: Sir —Allow me through the columns of your widely extended paper to state that when I came to Quitman it was for the purpose of locating permanently to prac tice my profession. Dttviug my absence in May and June it was reported, and cur rently circulated, that, it was my intention to remove from this place. I am incapa We of impugning the motives of any pier son; tint I am unable to determine how, with pure motives, such a report originat ed; for I had never intimated such an in tention to any one. I now state that lam pleased with the citizens, delighted with the situation, and highly encouraged with my prospects, and am as fully determined now to remain, as I was to remove to this place, and will bo happiy to meet my friends and all who desire, or have need for my profession, in my office, in Finch’s block, corner Scriven and Mabbett streets, where they may rest assured that all den tal operations will be performed with the highest skill of the profession at the most reasonable prices. Respectfully, J. S. N. Snow. o Grans Cloth, at reduced prices, at Batons, Jei.ks A Co's, [communicated. J Help Each Other, Quitman, Ga., August —, 1873, Editor Independent: Deep down in tho human heart there lives a natural idea which every man should foster, until, from the germ, will spiring into life a noble instinct, that God will bless; and this noblest of all attrib utes is, “lielpi each other. ” It should be written on every heart, and stamped on every memory by actual deeds of “helping each other.” It should be the golden rule, piraotioed not in every home, but throughout the world. O! how many thorns might wo remove from the path way of each other! How much anxiety of mind could we alleviate! and wliut a tluilling sense of pleasure our own hearts would feel, if wo would only exercise the innate germ of sometimes doing “each other” a deed of kindness! if it be only n pleasant smile, or an encouraging word. Neither can be a loss to you; yet what in estimable sweetness of appreciation it con veys to the heart, surcharged, perhaps, with pent-up grief. How soothing, when perplexed with some weighty task, does the cheerful voice of encouragement sound as it truth felly whispers: “Do not be dis couraged. I see you are troubled. Let mo help you.” O! how quickly the “troub led waters” are stilled. How like the dews bofore the sunshine disappear the, hitherto seemingly insurmountable obstacles; and how buoyantly does hope spring, like a blessing in the heart, fresh from tho hands of Him who created us! But draw the contrast between “helping each other” and that most despicable of habits of ‘'Dooming tho heart with rare oppressed, To glanders darkest, vilest curse.’’ What is necessarily tho verdict? It would be no unfit comparison to say: The first is Heaven’s dictates; the last, the “vilest, darkest curse” of hell—the first a sure pro totype of the nobleness of man—the lat ter a certain delineation of those charac teristics that arise from a heart whose de pravity the angels of darkness would blush to own. A morally brave man never dooms another to unheard judgment. He never whispers mean and malicious inuen does behind his back. No, it is left for the vile and depraved to commit the act of overt oppression that in after years will be visited on his own ignoble life. Then, me thinks, our contrast is amply proven, and would to God I could write it on each hu man heart in letters of undying stability— “help each other!” Would that it lay in my power to blot from every soul the “vilest, darkest curse” of slander. Then let us, by our encouragement and good example, try to strengthen tho weak and oppressed. Let us try and lift the burden of care from tbe weary, that life’s journey may be one of pleasure; that the fountain of bitterness may be dried up, and iu its stead there may burst forth ovei our land a fountain of sweets, whose deli cious waters will “heal the heart op pressed;” and man’s “good word'’ to his fellow man will receive the “well done” of Him “whose willing hand is ever ready to aid us, and who will reward our hum ble endeavors, and every good deed be as bread cast upon the waters to return after many days, ”if not to us, to those we love. Crush in your hearts every vile insinuation against your fellow-man. Let the devil-born, and devif-nursed vitu perations you would cast on an inoffensive human creature be turned in to other words of more gentle meaning, and soon our world will bloofti with fresh flowers of happiness, nursed by the never failing in centive of “help each other,” and from each hill top will echo the refrain, until its reverberating sound will reach Heaven’s shore, and God’s angels will sing alould: “Help each other.” LirriNCorr. How to Cure a Cold.—lf a cold settles on the outer coverings of the lungs it be comes pneumonia, inflammation of the lungs or lung fever, and ill many oases carries off the strongest man to the grave within a week. If oold falls on the inner covering of the lungs it is pleurisy, with its kuife-like pains and its slow, very slow re coveries. If a cold settles in the joints there is rheumatism of the heart, which, in an instant, sometimes, snaps asunder the cords of life with no friendly warning. It is of the utmost practical importance, then, in the wintry weather, to know not so much, how to cure a cold as to avoid it. Cold always comes from one cause some part of the body being colder than natural for a time. If a person will keep his feet warm always, and never allow himself or herself to be chiled, ho or she will never bike aeold ill a life-time; and this can only be accomplished by due care in warm clothing and avoidance of drafts and exposure. While multitudes of colds come from cold feot piorhaps tho majority arise from cooling off too quickly after be coming a little warmer than is natural, from exercise or work, or from confinement to a warm apartment. New York city is making a very poor showing under Mayor Havemeyer and the reform government. The aldermen and heads of departments are at logger-heads, and the Mayor has made several very dis creditable appointments. Again there are many of the old allies of Tammany holding offices in the various bureaus, and these are secretly at work to make the present regime a failure. It is surmised that. Boss Tweed still exerts a great influence in New York polities. ———* A minister of the ancient order of Ited Nocks, outin Barnstable, last Sunday night. ge tea sermon upon the text: ‘ ‘Suffer litile children to come unto me.” When he went home, he found a basket of twins hanging to his front door knob.
