TRUVTI OF RESPECT.
Resolutions adopted by the Ses
sion, relative to Col. R. L. Hunter,
late Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian
church, Milledgevllle, Ga.
Forasmuch as It hath pleased Al-
mighty God in liia wise providence,
to take out of the world the soul of
the deceased, Therefore, Resolved
1st, That in ihe death of Col. Hun
ter we chronicle the taking away of
a brother beloved; one who for many
years was associated with affairs both
of Church and State; a gentleman
to the manor born," of wide and
varied information; a Christian of
quiet, unobtrusive piety, whose com
forting hope, was born ofjSa simple,
childlike faith In the all sufficiency of
4he blood of the everlasting Cove
nant.
Resolved 2nd. That while wo
mourn our sorrow is not as that of
those who mourn without hope,
since we find comfort in the conli
dence, that the aged pilgrim has
reached the realms of restfulness, the
enfranchised Spirit is forever with
the Lord, having left the “outworn
shell by life’s unresting Sea."
Resolved 3rd. That we teuder to the
family of the deceased iu this sorrow
of bereavement, our sincere condol
ence praying that the God of all con
solation may give unto them “beauty
for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning
the garments of praise for the spirit
of heaviness.”
Resolved 4th. That a copy of these
resolutions be furnished the family
of the deceased, published in the city
papers and the Southern Presbyter
ian, and that a page be set apart in
our book of records, ns a memorial
leaf sacred to his name.

Hon. D. B. Sanford, Preet. Board of
TrusteesDear Sir: I respectfully ask
that my resignation be accepted at once.
There seems to be no probability that I
will be able to resume my former duties.
I am much feebler than I was at Com
mencement. It Is not with mo a question
of health and sickness, but of life and
death,
The kindness of the Trustees and people
of Milledgevllle to myself and family will
he held in grateful remembrance so long
as life shall last. Yours truly,
d. h. Hill.
The following resolution was unanimous
ly adopted by the Trustees;
Resolved, That wo accept the resigna
tion of General Hill with deep regret, and
trust that a season of rest iu his native
State may restore bis strength and he
maybe spared rusny years to the people
of his beloved South-land, who honor his
achievements as a soldier and as a teacher.

shall House. We had to put our paper to

Gus Reaves Kills Henry Ssmplss.
The. negroes at a gathering over
the river at& church, last week, had a
two nights fuss. What it was about
is hard to tell. Anyhow it ended in
the killing on last Wednesday night
of Henry Samples, by Gus Reaves,
both colored. Coroner Scott held an
inquest over the deceased and the
jury returned a verdict of voluntary
manslaughter. Reaves was put in
jail, but released on bond.
The improvements being made in a
city or town have a beneficial effect
in other ways besides adding to the
taxable value of property, and en
riching stock companies. There are
many men willing to work if they
had something to do, aud who,
while idle, neither do themselves or
anybody else any good.- All such
liave a chance to got employment,
and thus benefit themselves and their
families, while improvements are go
ing on In a city or town. A building go
ing up here and there every few days,
puts the potto boiling, and puts meat
and greens in it to make a patient-
wife and hungry children happy.
Let the. ball of improvement keep
rolling.

Are you thinking of sowing a patch
or field of rye for the calves and milch
cows for winter? It would be well to
flush the land intended for it as soon
now as practicable. If fresh, red
clover seed is sown with the rye on
good land, a fine early summer past
ure can be secured. Brush the seed
in very lightly and roll if possible.
Tlie Burr clover is a famous plant
for winter and early spring pasture.
It would be well to start a small
space to get in seed of it. The same
may be suidof the Texas Blue Grass.
Good pasture and meadows are the
