—The Banner- Watchman, of Ath
ens, printed this: “Capt. Oliver says
the day he visited Toon Powell's
tamotis Greene comity farm he had
twenty-four two-horse plows at work
and was laying off cotton rows seven
feet wide. This is one of the largest
grain farms in the South, and the
proprietors arc now devoting their
attention to stock raising, having
about dfiy brood mares.”
—Dublin Gazette: “Across Ihe
line of Laurens and Wilkinson coun
ties, last Friday, while Douglas
Stanly and Simon DuPiee were lust-
ling for the possession of a shot gun,
the latter was shot through l lie abdo
men, cau-ing death in about six
hours. No witness was present, and
Stanley claims that the wrangle was
in fun, and the gun was accidently
discharged. In the agonies of dying,
DuPree would say that it was not ac
cidental and in another breath say
that it was accidental. No arrest has
been made.’’
—This is the way the Gainesville
Southron sees it: “There are quite
a number of negro preachers about
the city who are very active in the
city election, and it is said (and we
believe il) t that their activity is bought
with money while their flocks are
paid off with peanuts and candy.
These creatures have the same inter
est in our city government that a hog
does in a potato patch, and no more..
Our taxpayers should see to it that
these hired vagabonds do not con
trol by their votes.and pretended re
ligious influence the city government,
to whose support they do not con
tribute one cent, not even street tax.”
—The Athens Banner-Watchman
says: Mr. A. S. Dorsey, one of our
best farmers, informed us yesterday
that he raised on three measured
acres of land this year 4,013 pounds
of lint cotton. This would make
each acre produce three hales, weigh
ing 445 pounds apiece. Now if any
body can beat this in a dry year let
them stand up. The cotton is of the
Ozier variety, and the lint is very
tine and brought the highest market
price. If Mr. Dorsey can keep this
up and get one good year out of every
ten he is bound to make a fortune.
There is no mistake about Ibis yield,
and it shows what the old fields of
Clarko will do under scientific liltage.
We will, in a future issue, give Mr.
Dorsey's plan of cultivation for the
benefit of our agricultural readers.
—The Athens Banner- Watchman
has been setting traps for a plagarbl
ing contemporary, and appears to
‘ have caught it out It says: “The
Atlanta Journal every day copies
Athens news from the Banner-
Watchman, heads it “Special,” and
signs, “Fulton.” It is bad enough to
copy items from a paper without due
credit, and much worse to try and
palm them off on the public as tele
graphic dispatches fo warded by a
special reporter, fher^is no mis
taking the fact of the 'J+irnal being
guilty of plagiarism, as we have set
several traps for that paper and
caught it—inserting bogus locals in
only the copy we forwarded to the
Journal office, that appeared next
day under the “Special” caption.’*

The great Vanderbilt ball, in New
York, on last Tuesday nigt, is said to
have been the grandest affair of the
kind ever witne-sed ill this country'.
The amount of capital represented was
something like $500,000,000, and the
line of carriages extended six blocks.
The ball dresses were remarkable tor
their costliness and the display of dia
monds was very fine. In fact, money
was out in force and government
bonds were well represented. At one
o’clock the German began. The sup
per was something quite beyond the
efforts of any other ball given in New
York. Mr. Vanderbilt has denied that
he said the ball would be “a snorter.”
Still i! was a fine ball, for all that.

A Romantic EpUode In the Lire* of
Two .Lovera.
Coalton, I*a., December 10.—A
romantic episode in the lives of two
lovers is at present exciting great
interest in this vicinity. William
Craig, a young farmer, and Mary
Barker, Ihe eightcen-year-oid daugh
ter of William Barker, also a farmer,
were to have been married ou
Christmas Day, 1683. On the even
ing of the 7ili of December, iu the
above named year, there was asocial
parly at Farmer Barker’s house, and
among the guests was a young man
from this village. Miss Barker
danced w th him twice iu succession,
and young Craig reproved her for
such marked attention to &m>ther,
and fold her that he did not wish,
her lo dance again with the young
man in question. This aroused the
spirit of the young lady*, and she re
plied that she would dance with
him or any one else she chose and as
many times as she liked. Craig iheu
informed her that*she might do so,
but slid wouldn’t see him again for
twenty years. To this shetauuting-
ly replied lhat “be couldn’t stay
away from her twenty hoars if he
tried ever so hard.’*' Craig went
home, and the next day he was miss
ing. He lived with his parents, who
were unable to find any trace of
him. Miss Barker vowed she never
would go into or receive company
again until he returned. As yean*
passed by and no traces of the miss
ing sou were received, his parents
came to look upon him as dead.
Miss Barker, however, had a singu
lar faith th it he would come back
some day. She kept her vow as to
living a secluded life, aid few peo
ple ever saw her after tne night she
bad quarreled with her lover.
Last Friday evening, which was
the 7tu in-*f, a stranger knocked at
the door of old Mr. Barker’s house
and asked to see Miss Barker, lie
was a huge, fine-looking tnan about
forty years ol age. He was admitted,
and when Miss Barker appeared he

Mrs. Reynolds, a so-called spiritual

published in a Philadelphia paper de

championing her cause, alleging that
he has been enabled to see and con

died about a year ago. It is evident
that Parsons and his wife were de

Rl'M AND TEMPERANCE.
A IfliiilMter’rt Idea ol How the Press
Should Treat the Comlas laeue.
Philadelphia, December 12.—At
the convention of the Philadelphia
Conference Temperance Society to
day Rev. 1). C. Babcok, Secretary of
ihe National Teu perauce - Society,
read a paper on “TIm* Pres* and Tem
perance.*’ He said lhat there are
more than 200,001) wholesale and re
tail liquor dea'ers in this country.
Against these “agents and instru
ments of evil’’ ihe church numbers
87,717 ministers and 115,610 churches.
The entire con-ributions of the
churches during 1S82, including pas
toral support, were less than $50,000,-
000, while the internal revenue taxes
collided on liquors for the fiscal year
ending June 30,1883, were 91,279,371.
Was iiwt ibis, lie as .ed, rn unequal
warfare? Docs our government make
it ea-y lo do right and difficult to do
viong? The daily press records
give some idea of ilie banefull influ
ence of the liquor system on home,
school, church, state and society. The
baneful influence of the liquor sys
tem is further seen, he thought, in
the treatment it receives from the
laily press. There was not one of
the great city daily newspapers, he
said, which tries to prejudice the
public aganst the real causes of the
vices and crime they reveal to pnblic
inspection, or which denounces thq
drinking customs of society and the
traffic that supports and perpetuates
these customs. The managers of these
papers evidently regarded public sen
timent as in favor of these causes of
vice and crime, whatever may flow
from them, and he was not sure that
they were in error on that point.
This much was plain, the moral senti
ment of the nation must be more
thoroughly aroused and organized
against the liquor system before it
can be overthrown. The great need
of our time, the miuister thought,
was a free press, a press that would
deal with the great questions of the
day as tne interests of society require,
a press that would put the welfare
of the people above the interests of
party. The paper was followed by
discussion in which many of the
members participated.
WOMEN AT THE BAR.
Pennsylvania Ja dees Refute an Ap
plication for Admlaslon to Prac
tice.
Philadelphia, Dec. 15.—Common
Pleas Court No. 2 to-day, with
Judges Hare, Mitchell and Fell on
the bench, refused the application for
admission to practice in that court
of Mrs. Carrie B. Kilgore, the wife
of Damon Y. Kilgore. Mrs. Kil
gore bad previously been admitted
to practice in the Orphans’ Court.
She passed a satisfactory examina
tion before the proper boards, bnt
Judge flare in refusing the applica
tion, said that the uniform rule and
practice of the courts of Pennsylva
nia was against the admission of wo
men lawyers, and he was not dispos
al to Mke upon himself the responsi
bility of introducing an innovation.
If the people of the State deshed
that women should be admitted it
would be an easy matter to have a
law to that effect passed by the Leg
islature. Moreover, he consideied
that there were special objections to
the admission of married women un
der the existing laws of the State
which permitted them to carry on
unpunished the mo*t glaring frauds.
If the Legislature passed an act ad
mitting them to the bar he apprehend
ed that the statute would be accom
panied by «tlie provision that they
should be liable to the same extent
as men. He did not attach import
ance to the certificate of the Or
phans’ Court because each court was
the sole judge of its own rule. Un
less required by the Legislature
Court No. 2 would not admit women
even on a certificate from the Su
preme Court. An application for
the admission of Mrs. Kilgore will
be made to the Supreme Court early
next mouth.
Baltimore, December 11.—A sen

ening to kill Frank J.- Helleu, of

The lady, it is said, promised to

There is a clergyman in Tennessee
called the “satisfying preacher.” If
a congregation is diicon’ented he is
sent for, and so atroci .osly bad is he
that after hearing him once or twice
the congregation is entirely satisfied
to keep Ihe pastor it has. The Chris
tian Advocate tells this story, and
adds that when the great Robert Hill
was recovering from mental aberra
tion he took a whim that he would
not preach. Several clergymen filled
his pulpit. At last he heard one so
poor that he said to him—so the tra
dition is: “Sir. you have produced a
gre*i,effect by your sermon to-day.
If the people must hear yon or me,
my duty is clear-

the western station, where he swore
out a warrant for Hammond’s ar
rest, {charging him, as stated, with
threatening his lire. Hammond be
ing close at hand w$s capture^ by
Ihe police; and, alter seeing him
locked np, Ilellen and Miss Zimer-
mail drove away and were married.
Mr. Hammond, upon being arrested,
acted like an insane man, and had to
be constantly watched. In the after
noon Mr. Ilellen appeared at the po
lice station and changed the charge
from threatening to kill to threaten
ing to assault, whereupon Mr. Ham
mond was released under a $300 bond

rival he rushed at him, but was held
back by the police. Uu threatens

The friends of the two pien, who
are highly connected, arc trying to
keep them apart, for fear of violence,
while much laughter is occasioned by
Helieti'8 ingenuity. Still much sym
pathy is felt for the other man; and
Miss Zimmerman's action is univer
sally condemned. Her family are
deeply mortified. She gives as an
excuse lhat she bad lo lake the first

Tbe Temperance Question.
Worth Star.
“The temperance question in this
county is engaging the interest and
attention of many uf oar best citi
zens.’’—Albany Ne-.vs a.vu Advee-
tiser, 9tll.
Of course it is, and lias been for
sometime You will fiud ‘the best
citizens” in every couutv ill Georgia
interested in liiis great qaeslioD.'
You will find a few newspapers, scat-
tered here anil there over the State,
tfiat are not airaid to staud squarely
on the side of temperance, which is
the side of morn sty. You will find a
few so-called leading citizens in
every community who are all things
to all men in the matter of temper
ance and every ottier question of pub
lic comment. You will also find a
few good men who tear that the pro
hibition of intoxicating drink is not
in keep ng with our boasted free
dom. Such tear lias a foundation of
sand upon which to rest. Tbe right
of self-government is one of the fuu-
daiuetital principles of our Federal
system. Ours is agovernment of the
people, bv the people and for the
people. This being the case, is It
not clear thut the people—I lie gov
ernment—have Ihe right to annul
any law the exercise of which has
proven injurious to them? Such is
unquestionably their preroga‘ive.
The next question to he decided is:
Has Ilie sale of intoxicating drink
benefitted the people? We answer:
It lias not. The reverse is true. It
has been a curse, aye, a withering
corse to this ciuulrv. It has sent
hundreds of thousands to untimely
graves; it has filled poor houses
with weeping women and ragged, or
phaned childred; it has made gam
blers and worse of a large per cent, of
our rising generation of young men,
and its victims are to be found in
all clssses, high and low
The people—the masses—are awak
ing to the enormity of this great evil.
In nineiy-oild counties in Georgia
they have said its sale shall cease.
The great centers of this traffic will
succumb next “the best citizens”
of those "centers” are beginning to
raise their potent voices against it,
and sooner or later it will have to go.
Inner*
The funniest thing we have heard of
lately, and at the same time the most
absurd, occurred in a New Jersey
village. It was nothing less—there
certainty could be nothing more—than
tarring and feathering an insignificant
churcb organ, for the reason that the
organist was unpopular. The organist
happened to be lady, and not even the
roughs of a religious body had the au
dacity to add to her angelic wings the
common feathers of the barn yard fowl
and attach them to a person with a vile
tar. If they had tarred and feathered
the organ because it incontinently
squeaked and because its reedy lungs
were always afflicted with asthma on a
Sunday morning, and hoarsely added
their noble voices in the songs of
praise, we could have commended their
conduct, for if there is one thing on
earth which we dispise and which seri
ously interferes with public worship it
is a cheap and blatant melodeon which
lifts its husky and impudent voice
above the general discord of congre-
getional singing and introduces a con
fusion worse confounded into the coil
founded confusion that already ex
ists. But to disgrace even a melodeon
for the sins of a lady player who only
occasionally strikes a wrong note is
evidence that religion has not got
very firm grip on that little New Jer
sey community.
Consrenmen and Others Sworn Off.
Washington Kepubllcmo.
Tho artist who dispenses bibulous
fluids at one of the up-town hotels
says that never since he first stood
behind a bar has business in bis line
been so doll. He had fondly hoped
that the convention of Congress
would help trade, but if anything it had
grown worse. “Why,” said he, ‘yon
have no idea of how many men who
used to take all the way from one to
a dozen nips a day have sworn off
completely, , and we never see their
faces at all any more. And they are
sticking to it, too, with no sneaking
in for a quiet cocktail.”
“Who are these hew additions to
the temperance movement?”
“All sorts of people. Senators,
members, merchants, clerks and
newspaper men. Why, would yon
believe it, even some of the ‘On n nels,’
‘Judges' and ‘Majahs’ are off their
liquor, and are giving their interiors
a series of snrprise parties.”
“What will be the result if this
goes on?”
‘Rain. sir. We’ll ail boon onrup
pers. I tell you, if the Christmas
holidays don’t make a lot of’em fail
through, we’ll have to pass the Jan-
nary dividend.”
Tbe Gall of tbe Season.
Harrodabarg,Ky., Special, Dee. 14.
Last night Charles Italie, a drum
mer traveling for a wholesale jewel
ry establishment in Philadelphia, ar
rived here, snd was recognized by
his appearance before he registered
at the hotel. He was decoyed by a
personal advertisement, purporting
io be from a Harrodsbnrg lady, print
ed in a Cincinnati paper. The cor
respondence had beeu kept np fur a
long time, and a place of meeting
had been appointed. Dressed in
( elaborate style, he set out from his
“hotel for the place of meeting, recog
nizing the spot by a diagram he had
received in the coarse of his corres
pondence, but, instead of meeting the
young lady, be fell into the hands ol
a dozen boys, who' took him to a
pond on ihe United Stales Govern
ment Asylum grounds. The day-
had been rather pleasant bnt the
night was raw and chilly. Hebeggcd,
but the boys had no* .compassior..
They divided into squads, and each
squad took its tnrn at ducking the
drummer in the pond. At midnight
be crept into the hotel dripping wet.
This morning he purchased new
clothing, and quii the town, begging
that the story should not be made
public. Charles Italie is said to be
the husband of one wife and the
father of two children.
Trenton (X. J.) Special, Dec. 11.
About 100 salvation soldiers sat on
the platform in the Chancery lane bar
racks in this city to-night. The lads
and lasses were all in uniform. Major
Moore, the head of the army in Ameri
ea, presided. The occasion ot the gath
ering was the hallelujah wedding of
Capt. Mary Ann JoUy. of Trenton, to
Capt. Samuel Rainey, of New York.
The Mayor and other city officials had
been invited, bnt did not come. Capt.
Jolty bad her salvation bonnet tied
down and trimmed with a red frill.
She wore a knot of flowers at her throat
and a continual blush on her attrac
tive face. Tne exercises began with
singing and prayer, with which con
tinual shouting was piingled. About
every five minutes somebody would
say, “Oh, what a jolly time we are
having.” Then everybody would
langh, and Capt. Jolly would biash
more than ever. Once in a while the
enthusiasm ran so high that the sol
diers had to stand on the benches. Af
ter an hoar and a half of singing and
shouting, the two Captains who were
candidates for matrimony stood up, one
on each side ofMvjor Moore. Aggay-
' haired lass with spectacles stood by
the bride. A little soldier whose chin
reached only to Capt. Romaliss’ shoul
der, hut whose enthusiasm touched the
ceiling, was groomsman. Two soldiers
waved salvatiou banners over the cou
ple. Maj. Moore read a long ritual,
which started off with a solemn prom
ise that neither married the other sole
ly for his or her own pleasure, but for
the help of the army. Then Capt.
Rainey promised to take this woman
to be his wife, to love and to cherish
in sicknes and health, and Capt. Jolty
took Capt. Rainey’s hand, and repeat
ed the same formula. Maj. Moore
produced a ring, and there were more
formulas. Finally the two were pro
nounced man and wife, and the enthus
iasm broke loose again.
DOCKING A DODD DBOnUBSlt
Decoying- a married Lothario by a
“Personal” and Ducking- Him In
“Unhappy marriages.”
Ill a recent lecture upon “Unhap
py Marriages” the Rev. Chauncey
Giles, of Philadelphia, said: “Hus
band and wife must strive to obtain
happiness by creating it for one
another, and at best they mast not
expect too much,” said he. Again,
in going into a detailed account of
the causes of marital troubles, Mr.
Giles thought that one of them lay in
the exaggerated notions prevalent of
the happiness of married life. “It is
the happiest state,’’ he said, “but it
must have its trials, regrets and dis
appointments, though conducive to
happiness that is not its direct pur
pose. Those married lives which
seem the hippiest—streams that flow
on without a ripple—are not the
highest by any meaus.’’ That men
and women expect too mnch of one
another was thought by the reverend
gentleman to be a common cause ot
infelicity. “Tbe mask most drop off,”
he said. “The selfishness and mean
ness of man’s nature will come out,
and then we are surprised. We ex
(tect that our partners should be al-
ways kind, always gentle, consider'
ale and tender. But do we apply the
same rule to ourselves?” Tolerance,
self-scrutiny, and self-control, tbe
striving lo make the other happy was
the one rule for husband and wife to
-attain happiness, according to the
lecturer. All this, however, related
to the earthly, in Mr. Giles’ mind, tbe
least portion of marriage. “AI1 msr
riages on earth,” he said,“is, owing to
the depraved nature of man, some
what unhappy.” What marriage
was in its entirety, Mr. Giles thought,
was the gradual union, beginning
with-birth and ending in eternity, of
the dual nature of mankind. “For
mankind,” he said, “is one thing with
two natures—oue male and the other
female.”
SOUTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE.
Wby a Rich Han is Like a Fat Hoc,
Boston Journil.
An old philosophic darkey was talk
ing one day about rich men who sqeez-
ed their money and held on to it dll
they died, and he remarked: “Boss,
dat rich man just like a fat hog in de
pen. He no connt till he die. When
fat hog die you sc:ill him and vfleau
him, den dar is spar rib and backbone,
and ham, and midlin’, and souse, and
sausage-meat, an lard and chitlins,
and liver, and sweetbread, and ever so
many good things, but while dat hog
is in de pen alie he ain’t worth nothiu’
to nobody. De rich man who won't let
oat his money is jes like de fat hog in
de pen, but he bound to die sometime
—he is dat—and den all liis kin-folds
cum in and harvest, and some get rib,
and some backbone, and some get ham,
but they all get sumthin’.”
Can It be Hmllnelnatlon;
Terra Haute Express.
The defense in the Emma Bond
trial as outlined in the dispatches is
to the effect that the young school
mistress of Taylorviile was not out
raged at ail. This is certainly a new
feature in this case, and a most as
tonishing one, when it is remembered
that the three men now standing trial
escaped mob banging through the
appeals of the father of the young
woman. It has been clearly shown
that the reported outrage of the school
mistress near Attica, in this State, a
few weeks ago was a case of halluci
nation. Can it be possible that the
frequency of these horrible crimes
have had such effect-opon the minds
of young women that such terrible
results follow?
