sharp boys. A lad of ten years, whose
father lives four miles from town, was
overtaken by his sire, last week, and se
verely punished for tunning a distillery.
Lite father had frequently noticed his
boy being under the inlluence of strong
drink. One morning lie watched him to
see where he went to get iiis whiskey,
and to his astonishment, found him en
gaged in distilling. He had ingenuity
enough to construct a small and novel
distillery, having several tar kegs lot
beer stands, and an elder stalk lor the
worm, and an old coffee boiler for his
still. He had been engaged in the busi
ness b.r some time, making lour gallons
f whiskey per week. —Cookeville He ho.

peared upon the scene, who succeeded in
gaining the affections of this heretofore

RISING FAWN, DADE COUNTY, GA.. THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1870.
“Faithful to the Right, Fearless Against the Wrong.”
WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, D. April 11, 1870.
That was an important decision of the
Democratic House caucus on Wednes
day, that hereafter the House should not
longer adjourn over from Saturday to
Tuesday, the day on which under the
rules, hills may he introduced. The de
cision means no less than that, if the
House can have its way, there shall he
general legislation at this session. At
the same time, there is no reason to be
lieve that any financial measures calcu
lated to disturb business will he passed.
On the contrary, I think there is here a
growing conviction that something may
he done that will not only he ~beneficial
to the people in general but also to the
business interests of the countrv.
Mr. Hendricks is not a man who needs
introduction to the readers of any Dem
ocratic paper. He is, and deservedly so,
one of the most generally respected men
in the paijy. There is, therefore, im
portance in what he is just now reported
as having said as to the probable issues
of the next Presidential campaign. Mr.
Hendricks says he will not again he sec
ond on the ticket, no matter who is first.
He declines to sav anything for or
against Mr Tilden as a candidate. lie
believes that the prominent subject of
the next campaign will not he financial,
hut that of conti ilazation as against the
constitutional rights of the States, and
that Democrats everywhere will he thor
oughly united on the side of the consti
tional rights of the States, but not as
opposed to the full constitutional rights
of t l, e general government. He does
not think Mr Haves would he justified
in vetoing the proposed legislation of
Congress on the subject of free elections
and fair juries.

To the Local Preachers.
Do not become any ways discouraged
by anything that you may have seen or
heard concerning local prtnehers, hut let
us put on the armor and tight of fiith,
that we may win the prize, and after glo
ry run; and when we get through with
the improvement of our one talent, Heav
en will he as bright to us as it will to the
brother that has five talents. The same
will he said to the humble local preach
ers, afld to the humblest saint of God
that has discharged his duty, that will
be said to the most refined and finished
of earth. It will just be said to each and
every one that are so fortunate as to get
to that happy place, “Well done thou
good and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over a few things, 1 will
make thee ruler over many things; enter
thou into the joys of thy Lord.” This
will he enough for any poor worm of
earth. Then let us he faithful Every man
can know for himself whether the Lord
has called him to preach or not, and if
you feed that he has called you to the
work, just preach on and God will bless
the effort and save souls through your in
strumentality.
It is true that we as local preachers,
can not do a bishop’s work, neither do
we want to undertake it. We are willing
to take a more humble place in the church,
and wort: there for the Master, and do
all that we can for his cause, and say
that we are unprofitable servants, that
we have only done that which was our
duty. As.it was in the days of the apos
tles, so it is now; there were different
grades for them to work in, and mav
O 7 V
God help us all to work in the calling
wherewith we are called, and not try to
keep others from saving sinners in the
name of Christ.
The Lord has said to cry aloud and
spare not ti> lift up our voices like a trump-
A*
i*t and w•> ii hi; people of their sin*; and
if we neglect and smooth the r<>adft
nal misery, and the lost, his
blood will he required at our hands.
We are in favor of education. Some
of the old local preachers used to throw
iu to help build in order
that the children might get an education.
Some of the older Acs had what educa
tion was allowed to get through
as best they could. They could not go
back to boyliooAand acquire an educa
tion. Let every yAng man get all the ed
ucation that he possibly can; we are in
favor of that; ami let them have the
grace of Hod in their hearts, and if God
calls them to preach he will qualify them
for their task. May God help us all to
discharge our duty as preachers, and may
he bring us to His saint’s rest when done
with the trials of earth.
Kill!a Town.
The following rules for killing a town
we commend to the prayerful considera
tion of more than one man in our midst:
1. Put up no more buildings than you
can occupy yourself.
*2. If you should have an empty buil
ding to rent, demand three times its val-
O 7
ue.
o. Look sorrowful, he little, and in
sult every new comer; give the cold
shoulder to, and underrate every median
ic and professional man who desires to
come among you.
4. Go abroad fer your goods and
wares. By no means pm chase from
your own merchants and manufacturers,
eve t at the same price or less.
Finally, put. a thorough finish to your
work by working against your local pa
per; bemoan every one connected with it;
refuse to subscribe to or advertise in it;
so that persons at a distance will not
know that any business is being done in
your town, or they may want to come
and settle among you, or buy something
from y ;u, and that would give some
trouble.

A Forward Season.
An old negro named Sam Clark, who
counts a Griswold street lawyer among
his friends, called at his law shop yester
day with a very anxious face and said:
“Boss, Ize clean twisted up dis time,
an’ I want to ax a few quesouns.”
“Well, go ahead, Sam.”
“Wall, all de white folks tells me dat
de sezun am at leas’ a month ahead. I
h’ars ’em talkin’ ’bout it on de kyars an’
all ober.”
“Yes, this is a very forward spring. I
think we are at least a month ahead.”
“Well, if dat’s do case, will de Fo’tli
o’ July come on de fo’th o’ June, or
when, an’ hain’t -April fule day dun
gone an’ passed by two weeks?”
The lawyer tried to explain, but Sam
was moremixel than before. He scratch
ed his head and went slowly out, but in
half an hour he returned with a face
longer than ever.
“Got that through your head yet ?”
asked the lawyer. .
“FV de Lawd, hut Ize bin struck
agin!” whispered the African. “If we
am a month ahead now, dis ya’r will
either have thirteen months or only ’lcv
en! ’Splain dat now!”
But the lawyer couldn’t, and Sam
went out saying:
“Dese white folks am a werry curus
set, dey is. Dey go an’ git de sezun all
outer gear, an’ den a nigger can’t tell
whether to plant taters or dodge icicles!”

Doctor and l 9 atiirnt.
“Save me doctor, and I’ll give you a
thousand dollars!”
The doctor gave him a remedy that
eased him, and he called out:
“Keep at it, doctor, and I’ll give you
a check for five hundred dollars!”
In half an hour more he was abie to
sit up, and he calmly remarked :
“Doctor, I feel like giving you a fifty
dollar bill.”
When the doctor was ready to go the
sick man was up and dressed; he followed
the doctor to the door and said:
“Doctor, send in your hill the first of
the month.”
When six months had been gathered
to Time’s bosom, the doctor sent in a
bill amounting to five dollars. He was
pressed to cut it down to three,after so do
ing he sued to get it,got judgment,and the
patient put in a stay of execution.
The Love or Nome,
It is only shallow minded pretenders
who either make distinguished origin a
matter ot personal merit or obscure ori
gin a matter of reproach. Taunt and
scoffing at the humble condition of early
life affect nobody in this country but those
who arc foolish enough to indulge in
them, and they are generally sufficiently
punished by the republistad uuke. A
man who is not ashamed of himself need
not be ashamed of bis eaily condition.
It did not happen to me to be born in a
log cabin, but my elder brothers and sis
ters were born in a log cabin, raised
among the snow drifts of New Hamp
shire at a period so early that when the
smoke first rose fiom its rude chimney,
and curled over the frozen hill,there was
no similar evidence of a white man’s hab
itation between it an l the settlements on
the rivers of Canada. Its remains still
exist; I make it an annual visjt. I carry
my children to it to teach them the hard
ships endured by the generations which
have gone before them. 1 love to dwell
on the tender recollections, the kindred
tic*, the early affections, and the narra
tions and incidents which mingle with
all I know of this primative family abode.
I weep to think that none of those who
inhabited it are among the living; and
if ever I fail in affectionate veneration for
him who raised it and defended it against
savage violence and destrueti© i, cherish
ed all the domestic virtues beneath its
roof, and through the fire and blood of
seven years’ reactionary war. shrank
from no toil, no sacrifice to serve his
country, and to raise his children to a
condition better than his o.vn, may my
name and the name my posterity he blot
ted forever from the memory of mankind.
