•and one hundred and fifty bales of cotton
have Wen shipped from Hawkliisville dur
ing the season jn»t ending, and there is
sufficient number of bales in the srare-
hotiaes to run the shipments up to about
twenty thousand bales. The guano receipts

dollars.
—Tin- Gainesville Kagle nays that sonic
days ago Mr. Pollard Kelley and the tw*
lawless boy*, of Dawson county, struck a
small bonanza on the Spike Hill mine, about
two miles east of l>aw*onville. In one af-
tern«M»n they took out 245dpta.of gold and
the next day something over 60 dwt*. more.
The tain* has been worked at intervals for
a number of years, but this is probably one
x»f the richest strikes that has been made.
The lAgle learns that there is universal ac
tivity in mining circles in Hall county, sev
eral valuable discoveries having been made
recently.
—The Cutlihcrt True Southron notes an
increased average throughout the county in

have been sown, while more attention than
heretofore has been |*Id to manuring.
Itye is Incoming an important adjunct to
the corn crib. Vetch ami tmrley for stock
feed are also gaining favor with the farmers.
All this is reform in the right direction.
The planting interest can never become
successful until proper rotation of ciofts is
observed, and more stress laid oa economic
nteihml* of conducting the farm. The first
consideration of the farmer shouhl he to
live at home, and to this end should liis
efforts lie directed.
—•A gentleman of the new 20th district,
of Sumter county, informs the American
Republican that on Saturday, an he was ri
ding through the country, he witnessed the
nmst novel sight of his life. It was nothing
more nor less than a white lady plowing,

—Colonel T. J. Smith, tell-knwe hnwn
Georgia granger, comes forward with a hint
that in of decided interest to our farmers. The
price of cotton having advanced since the
crop lias gone out of the hands of the pro
ducer, which is no often the case, to a price

ti«»n. it Incomes now the duly of the pro
ducers to consider seriously the situation.
Many farmers and planters have conscien
tious scruplaa in buying and selling future*
in cotton, ami charge it as gambling. Col
onel Smith does not pro|M*se to tai»|ier with
their finer sensibilities, hut he desires to
state f.»r the benefit of the planting interest
that the crop to lie grown this year can now
l»e sold for next fall delivery at a price that
will net over ten cents at the nearest depot
of the producer. Colonel Smith has no ad-
vire to advance to the farmers, for cotton
may rule lower or higher, but he says they

The memorial exercises on Saturday were
tl»c OM«t remarkable in acujie and feeling
ever known in Atlanta. Tl*e people turned
«u;t witii a unanimity never before known,
■nd there was an unusual heartiness in the
ceremonies, ft to true that rnneb of tliis
*uay be ascribed to the distinguished char-
•cter of tbe orator of the day, and the fine
military display had much to do with the
heavy crowd; hut there ia no room to doubt
that the 2Gth of April, as a day of reverent
and |>atriotic celebration, is steadily grow
ing iu favor and gradually supplanting the
4th of July. In our opinion the day will
become more and more important year after
year and finally fix itaelf in our system as
•lay of daya This is as it should be.
There is nothing in the spirit of tbe ob
servance of the day that the most critical
observer could object to. The general gov
ernment that can be injured or threatened
*y the feelings engendered over the graves
of the confederate dead is an oppression,
and weak of its own weakness. The mem
ories buried in tbe graves are pure ones, and
naught but good cau come of their indul
gence.
As to the details of yesterday's work, they
c all Hint could be desired. The occasion
was a g'jod one, and tha oration was worthy
of ibe occasion. The military display was
beyond criticism, and altogether the day
may be ranked with a while stone.

which is not usual, and he feds that they

tion. Many producers an; not aware that
they could sell less t^an one hundred hale*

or more hundred bales. Being a planter
and fading a deep interest in liis brethren
of the plow, he throws out this hint for
their consideration.

Cricaoo, April *jri—A dispatch to the
Time*, from llouMott, Texas, says that a
ibast ivccurmt in that city yesterday which
has been the mo»t destructive of any in the
history of that city. The water mse twelve
inches from 2 a m. to $ a.m..and continued
rising all day. The old cemetery
was almost * entirely inundated,
and many railings around graves were
lurn away and carried down the stream.
Many bowlings were submerged and rest
dents driven out. On Texas avenm
the water rose from four t<
ten inches in dwellings and many
booses were floated away and o’hers were
in danger. The long bridge acne* tbe
bayou on Preston street is momentarily ex
pected to succumb to the pre-sure o» ac
cumulated drift. The m*Tthou*ca.
dries, stores, etc., are flooded. AH build
ings on the south side, from the corner
of Main and t’ommerce streets to Travis
•reel, have their rear ends and cellars
The great crowd which had been throng
ing the streets all day began by two o'clock
to center about the capitol, iu froul of
which Die procession was to be formed.
Captain John Milledge, the marshal of the
day, had arranged all the preparations with
great care and exactness, so that there was
confusion or delay. At 12:40 the Koine
Light Guards a rived and were quartered at
the Kimball bouse. At 2 o’clock they were
inarched down by Lieut. Priutup and were
rted by the Gate City Guards to tbe
place where the processiou was to be form
ed. All the Richmond Huxsars, the Edge-
field and Burke county cavalry remained to
join in the ceremonies, and they added a
new feature to the occasion. The Atlanta
military certainly did itself credit. It was
out in stronger numbers and in better ad
vantage than we have seen in some time
lawn. \e»ierday waa a sort of renewal of
inturesi in military matters in Atlanta.
At half-past one o'clock the ladies of the
memorial association met at the residence
S Dr. Johnson, on Marietta street, where a
rich supply of flowers in natural and arti
ficial anangement were ready for the sacred
service to which they were soon to bo dedi
cated.
By half-past two o'clock the procession
ns ready tor the march. It was one of the
ost imposing ever seen in Atlanta,
and thousands watched its first solemn
stepping towards the city of the dead. The
long line, commanded by Capt. Milledge,
moved in splendid order. First came the
Mi|«rl> fifth artillery baud wbofl music
was admired by all who heard iu After
the band came the Richmond Hussars, the
Edgefield anil Burke county cavalry, all in
liue order under Captain John Clark. Then
came a tine array of Knights Templar in
their splendid regalia, giving a fine appear-
to the head of the procession.
came the Butler Guards of Green
ville, 8. C., in a neat grey uniform very
much like that of our own Governor’s
Guards. They were followed by (lie Spar-
lam Rifles in uniform of tbe same style.
Then came the
ATLANTA BATTALION
looking its best. Capt. Heyward com
manded the Governor’s Guards with a tine
array to sustain him. The Cadets looked as
handsome as usual with Capt. McCandless
at their head. The Gate City Guards
came so numerously that they were
divided into two companies. The first was
commanded by Captain J. F. Burke, and
the second by Lieutenant John Butler. In
all, this company numbered about fifty-
nine men. After them came tbe Rome
band playing the solemn dead march from
’•Haul” and other airs equally impressive.
The Knights of Pythias, in an elegant ar
ray, acted a* a guard for the ladies of the
Memorial association, who rode in carriages
and stretched the procession into great
length.
Ahead of the wliole procession, except
the liand, rode in elegant stylo GenenU
Fitzlmgh Lee, tbe orator of the dav, accorn-
l»anied by General C. A. Evans, Mayor W.
L. Calhoun and Captain John Milledge, the
marshal of the occasion. Through all the
crowded streets this great procession moved
to the cemetery. The great crowd had been
going out on special trains by the Georgia
road and the street-cars, while thousands
walked and many went in vehicles.
The line of march was from Marietta
>wn Broad (o Alabama, down Alabama to
Whitehall, down Whiteliall to Hunter,
down Hunter to tlie cemetery.
Entering the cemetery, tbe procession
marched down the main drive, filing to the
left below the confederate monument un

Such, my friends, was the loving language ut
tered in the confederate congreaa, upon Bar
tow’s death by Thomas K. R. Cobb.
On the ISth of December. 1SG2, not quite one
year and four months after thin beautiful eulogy
upon his departed friend. Cobb has. to use his
own chaste expressions, realized "th© bright
hope of a glorious meeting in an unending eter
nity,” and when clasped again iu Bartow’s
friendly embrace, he "basks forevcver in
the suusbine of the love of God.” The p«*st
of honor, which is alwavs aiwignsd to the brave,
waa at the battle of I redcricksbuig given to
Cobb's brigade, of McLaw’s division.
Upon the crest of the famous Mary’s
hill, was stationed the celebrated Wash
ington Artillery, of New Orleans, and at the stooe
wall at the foot, like a stonewall, whose fixedness
It resembled, Cobb’s brigade protected the guns.

eport of that battle, rays, "did the enemy, not-

time* that number, and hoping to
be attacked again; the man ol Ghan-
cellonville, whom I recall ia May, 1963, when the
great Jackson fell, as raying to a messenger,
"Tell General Jackson to make baste and get
sell; he has lost his left arm, but I have lost my
right arm," and later, when he heard of the seri
ous character of Stonewall’* wound, sent again to
say:j"Tell him I wrestled for him last night in
prayer, us 1 never prayed I believe for myself. I
could have chosen for the good of the country to
have beqn disabled in hi* stead." Don’t you re
cognize the true sublimity of his character
as he spoke to gallant Cadmus Wilcox,
on the 3d of July, 1863, when he saw his shattered
column returning from its unsuccessful assault
upon the strongly entrenched position of the fed
eral*—when the semi-circle of Round Top nearly
trembled with the fiery diadem of our victory—
when under the sulphurous canopy formed by
tbe dense pall of smoke of three hundred cannon,
herald: "All this is my fault. It Is I who have
lost this fight.” While to a foreign officer of rank,
who had come to witness the battle, be said:
"This has been a sad day for us, colonel, hat we
can’t expect always to gain victories.”
Do any of yon Georgians recall him in May,
1864, at Spottsylvanta Court House.after the brave
and courteous Hancock had broken the lines and
the late of the army seemed to tremble in the bal
ance. as he rode to the front of the colors of the
a9th Virginia regiment, one of the regiments o
the charging column formed to retake our lines or
die, aud, removing his hat, started to lead them
into the jaws of death? Can't you almost hear the
re-echo of the shouts of the armv for him to

talents were devoted to the defence of their native
State, 1 would point to a soldier, distinguished as
an author, brave in spirit, gifted in mind, ere he
united Ills fortunes to those af Georgia. Serving
as captain of dragoons in Mexico, his company
was the first upon the American side to engage

his little band to cut his way through the Mexican
ranks, he was taken prisoner. He was afterwards
exchanged and was conspicuous in all the battle*

In the battle of life we can emulate those qual
ities of character that have made the lives of these
heroes memorable—their deaths glorious. Many
of us, I know, have had a hard struggle since the
war. Our children have nob as was the law in
ancient Athens, been honored with seats in high
places. Our people may have been too slowly
accorded the common rights of a common country,
but it will not erase a past that in thought aud
mental culture our own south ha* rivalled the
land of Homer and Aristotle, the home of Virgil
and of Cicero. While in the talent, and wisdom,
and heroism, and courage, and devotion of our
soldiers, history shows no nation a&superior; aye,
though the finger of her pride be pointed to tbe
dwelling places of Alexander, of Csesar, of Han
nibal. of Marlborough, of Gustavus Adolphus, of
Napoleon and Wellington. I know our misfor
tunes have been many and our burdens
grievous to bear, but II they have been let
loose upon us in all directions, can we not
find, as in the box of Pandora, hop* at the bot
tom. It is our duty to look upon the bright side,
for it i* tl»e right side. The flower gathers its
beauty from the sunshine, not from the clouds.
All things cannot be as we would order. The sea
would indeed be dull if its surface remained
forever undisturbed, and "spring would be hut
gloomy weather if we had nothing else but
spring.” True it Is we mourn for loved and lost
ones. Vacant chairs stand mute in their woe at
the family hearth. The voice* of mothers, sisters,
wives ana children, when thrown upon the wind,
appeal often to the spirits only. Tender looks
cannot be cast upon, nor fond embrace clasp
the household looL Victory’s chaplets are ab
sent from the foreheads of our reuowucd and
glorious heroes, but grandly in their stead the
wreaths of honor twine.
The land has not rejoiced, but when memory
touches tbe mystic chords of a long ago, solemn
rapture cannot be restrained. The river of our
joy docs not flow out, because suece* has not
mingled with its sunshiny stream, but better
still, interlaced amid the wails of lofty woe.
wrapped up in tbe"blood-stained sheaves of life,”
brightening the bones that bleach upon the fiields

binding up the wounds of the mounilur heart,
comforting the almost comfortless, is the life-
renewing thought that though the plume which
floated above the storm may have been buried,
honor was written upon each of its dancing
feathers. That though no marble monument or
lofty obelisk may mark our soldiers' graves, the
heart of his comrade enshrines his memory for
ever with admiration and love, though the proud
banner was taken down, because

were all executed at the same time and place. As
they left their prison they began a song of praise
to the Supreme Ruler above them. As they jour
neyed to the place of execution, their solemn re

THE TOURNAMENT.
Scenes at tbe Park Lost Friday.
The visiting companies had frequently
met each other in friendly tilts before
Friday. At Augusta, Columbia, Waynes
boro, Edgefield and elsewhere they had tried
each other’s mettle, and gradually worked
their style up to perfection. The old Rich
mond Hussars, when Joe Thayer, Ed. Hack,
Frank D'Antygnac and Jo© Twiggs used to
ride.-were said to be the best in the south,
and it is not sure that they have dete
riorated now. The Edgefield boys, however,
have beaten them in one or two contests,
and the Burke riders are skillful and dar
ing. All the best incn of all the compa
nies were out on yesterday. There were some
five or six who seemed to be accorded the
first place. The tilter with the best reputa
tion, perha]>s, was Joe Thayer, who had
won nine out of thirteen first prizes, and
who held, the two medals and the white
plume of the Richmond Hussars when he
resigned a year or twoago. After him prob
ably came Walker, of tlie Edgefield Hus
sars, a cool, strong-handed, .clear-eyed
rider, who nolds the plume of his
oinpany. Lieutenant Fleming, of the Rich
monds, who holds the plume at present
and Lieutenant Mays, of the Edgefield*,
and Lieutenant Jones, of the Burkes, were
ihe favorites with many. There were many
beta made that Trooper Jule Fleming, of
the Richmonds, would take the first prize,
while Atkiiis, of the Edge fields, and Wim
berly, of the Burkes, had strong backers.
The honors of the day, it was esteemed cer
tain, would fall within this list, with Thay
er, Walker, and Jule Fleming probably
holding the places of favorites.
THE OPENING OP -TUK TILT.
The first work of the tourney was the try
ing of the horses by putting them over the
course at regulation speed, which, by the
way, was little less than lightning. This
exercise wound the spectators up. and gave
them zest for the fun that was to follow.
After the men had tightened their stirrups,
tried their swords and settled themselves in
their seats, tbe work began. At the call of
the bugle a trooper wolild dart from out ihe
clump of horsemen at the foot of the lists
and dash at the heads and rings as if the
wind were at his heels. It was stirring fun
to watch them as they whirled past. Finer
riding was never done anywhere. The men
sat their horses like Centaurs They turned,
•nd cut, and slashed and thrust, but all as
easily and regularly as if they were on terra
firma. They rode as only south
erners can ride. Captain Clark
opened the riding by a dashing tilt that
won eighty in horsemanship and exercise,
while it did not make much in "points.”
There was little variation in the work to
the general eye. Thayer won the heartiest
cheering. Jule Fleming come the near
est to making all the points, barely missing
the ninety-three. Buhler’s horse swerved
and got him on the wrong side of the last
head, but he pluckily reached out for it
over his shoulder. Henry Ortes made a
gallant effort on his little nag, having to
"work his passage” through. Lieutenant
Fleming got the only perfect score on
horsemanship on the first round. Zim
merman was the first man that dislocated
everything, although he did not make all
the points, and Walker closed the first
round with the highest score, having made
15\i out of a possible 18.
The two succeeding rounds were void of
accident, or indeed of ranch variation from
the first round. The men went through on
time and in good style, winning here and
there a lusty cheer, and always keeping the
crowd interested.
By request the full score is not published.
The prizes were won rs follows: First prize
by Lieutenant Mays, of Edgefield Hussars;
second by Fulcher, of Edgefield Hus
sars; third by Walker, Eagefield Hus
sars; fourth by C. A. Fleming, Richmond
Hussars; fifth, John W. Clark, Richmond
Hussars.
AS TO THE TILT.
The tournament was a success. Sabre-
tilting is a manly and exciting diversion
and is destined to a very wide popularity.
The appearance of the Hussars was all that
uld be desired, and the riding was be
yond criticism The large crowd that at
tended was more than pleased with the en
tertainment offered aim are grateful to the
hard riders of the low-country for the treat
famished at the park Friday. There is
do doubt shat the effurt of vesterday’s work
will be to organize a cavalry coni (tan v in
Atlanta within the next month, in which
event our visitors of yesterday may ex
ia*ct to be called back to the gate city on
business before very long.
The Rome Delegation.
The noon passenger train of the Western
and Atlantic railroad that reached Atlanta
Sat irday about half past twelve o’clock had
on board tbe Rome Light Guards and the
Rome comet band, who ca me to Atlanta
for the purpose of participating in the cele
bration of memorial day. Owing to various
causes which could not be avoided the en
tire company did not com© with full ranks.
There were sixteen men. in the delegation,
which was commanded by Lieut. M. M.
Pepper and Lieut. J. J. Printup. The men
presented a very fine appearance and their
neat bnt handsome uniforms were much
admired by all who saw them.
The Rome comet band, consisting of
members, under the leadership of Mr. Ju
lios Croed, was in uniform ana made good
appearance. As we liave already published
in The Constitution the names of those
who bad arranged to come, it is unneces
sary to give them agaiu. The two organiza
tions were met at the depot by tbe military
of Atlanta, and were escorted to the Kim
ball, where they were .provided for in the
best of manner. The Rome comet band
rendered some fine music yesterday in the
parade and won many laurels, while the
Rome Light Guards won much praise for
the care with which they executed the or
ders during the display.

' Beat aud Moat Economical.
Housekeepers are giving the cheap, adul
terated baking powder a “wide bertn,” and
why? Because experience has taught them
that an absolutely pure, full strength, full
weight article, such as Dooley’s Yeast Pow
der, which never fails to produce light,
wholesome, and nutritious biscuits, rolls,
muffins, waffles, and griddle cakes of all
kinds, is by far the cheapest and most
economical.
Perfection In Cookery.
The nearest approach to perfection in
articles designed for kitchen use is that of
Dooley’s Yeast Powder. With very little
experience the housewife or cook is always
sure of delicious biscuits, rolls, bread, cake,
etc., every time.

It is always a pleasure to notice thrift and
enterprise. We called in at the up town
dry goods store of Gay, McCleskey & Co.,
the other day and found them literally
running over with business. And ’tis no
wonder, for upon walking through their
large, fine store, we were astonished at the
piles of goods, and the taste with which
they were displayed. They have a most
beautiful stock, enough to tempt the most
fastidious. We have not the space to at
tempt a description of theii store and large
stock, but would advise our lady friends,
who have not already done so, to pay one
visit to the store of Gay, McCleskey & Co.
They will not need to be invited to make
the second. The clerks at this bouse are
very attentive and polite. In their milli
nery department, the clerks were crowded
with business, selling ribbons, artificial
flowe-s, hats and bonnets trimmed up in the
most elegant styles. Judging from the
amount of business doing in this depart
ment as well as throughout the house, they
must be selling very cheap. Be sure to call

An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of th© American peo
ple are to-day suffering from the effects of
Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result
of these diseases upon the mattes of intelli
gent and valuable people is most alarming,
making life actually a burden instead of a
pleasant existence of eujoyment and nseful-
ness as it ought to be. There ia no good
reason for this, if you will only throw aside
prejudice and skepticism, take the advice
of Druggists and friends and try one bottle
of Green’s August Flower. Your
relief is certain. Millions qf bottles
medicine have been given away to try its
dish 5c&10c. per .
