“Tell It All.”
We have, at last, examined a’ copy of
that most extraordinary work—of which
upwards of .thirty thousand copies have
been sold to the present time, and which
has excited no nutch genuine interest aud
attention in all sections of the county. We
allude to Mrs, T. B, H StenhoUse's new
book, entitled, “Tell It All.” It is with
great pleasure, that we hail this remarka
ble work—the genuine history of a real
Mormon woman. Two years ago the Au
thor published a little pamphlet on Po
lygamy, which attracted considerable at
tention, and created quito a sensation
among the Saints. The Mormon papers
took up the subject, and alluding derisive
ly to the delicate reticence, so natural to a
sensitive woman, displayed by the Author,
spitefully invited her to “Tell It All.”
Men and women of position, in all parts
of the country, who had visited her in
Salt Lake City, urged her to seize the op
portunity, “write a book,” and lay the
whole truth before the world. Mrs. Har
riet Beacher Stowe, whose earnest intro
duction to this volume is a guarantee of
the delicacy, as well as purity of the work,
personally added her persuasions. Mrs.
Stenhouse ultimately consented, and chose
for the title of her new volume, the words
of derision used by her Mormon oppo
nents--“ Tell UAH.”
In this way, this singular work was in
troduced to the world. It is a book utter
ly unlike any other work on the subject
ever penned before. And, although we
would not spoil our readers’ pleasure by
felling Mrs. Steuhouse’s fascinating story
second-hand, we will state that it is just
what it-professes to be—the history of a
life iu Mormonism, written by a lady of
education and refinement, who, through
the influence of religious sympathy, mis
directed. became the victim and slave of
one of the most extraordinary superstitions
which the world has ever seen. In her
own fascinating style, she tells all that can
be told of that strange system, not as a
visitor to Utah might relate it, but with
flie thrilling eloquence and pathos of one
whose wholelife has been darkened by its
deadly sliadJW. Real men and women—
the story of real lives—the sayings, the
doings, the events of to-day, among a class
of our own countrymen and women, much
talked of, but little known, are painted be
fore us by this talented woman, with
touching fidelity; and when the reader
lavs down the volume, his only regret is,
that be has arrived at the last page. The
book possesses all the vivacity und thrill
ing interest of the finest works of fiction.
In point of mechanical skill, it could not
be surpassed. TVie binding is elegant and
substantial;the illustrations, on wood and
H'eel, are costly, and finely executed; and
altogether it is one of those subscription
books, which one so rarely meets, which
give the rur -Infer full value for his mon-
This work will be sold' only to those
who order of the / gent, who will soon in ■
troJuce it to- cur eitiaens. We bespeak
for it a most cordial reception —for it is
worthy of it.

Jesup, Apr® Sth. 187i>
Kditoe Jesup Georgian:
Will you grant me space for a short
communication. I have done all that
could be expected from an euergetic man
to get a marriage report for your paper,
but the times ate very unfavorable, and
have caused a cessation of hostilities for a
while. There are several couples, howev
er, that must marry or move to some oth
er locality very soon, and I do not wish
to be bothered about them any more. I
shall report progress as fast as possible.
I have traveled down the Brunswick road
on foot as far as No. 3, right through the
timber region, where a few months ago
you could hardly hear of anything but
timber, and now the questions are, have
you got through planting, is your old field
fenced, and how large a crop do you ex
pect to make. They evidently intend
planting a considerable amount of corn
this year, and it is conceded bv all, that
tbe death of timber has proved the salva
tion of this country. I will now call your
attention to the roads in that section.
There is an old Darien road from Barring
ton Ferry to Doetortowu, which is kept
up by the road hands, and from Alex Creek
to Doetortown, it is no more than an
abandoned settlement road. There is a
new road Lorn the ford of Alex Creek to
Thomas H. Hookers' place, that is almost
universally traveled, and with the number
of hands that work the old road to no pur
pose, the commissioners might make the
new route a good one, saving a distance
of some three miles. And with a little en
ergy a good bridge could be built across
I’enhollowuv creek, which would give the
public easy access to Jesup during fresh
ets, and save a large settlement at least
two hours travel at nil times. Please
give this a place in your highly esteemed
paper, and look out .for an article on ed
ucation very shortly, as I did not get niv
share when I was a school boy. Church
es, School Houses and roads w ill greatly
improve communities. Observer.

The Contest.
We have to congratulate our readers on
the happy termination of this memorable
contest between the opposing candidates
for the office of Tax Collector and Receiv
er. After an elaborate examination of the
case, as presented to his Excellency, the
Governor, he decided to overrule the con
test, and issue the commission to our pop
ular friend, Mr. John J. Clark. We do not
at present propose to indulge in any ex
tended remarks ou the improper conduct
of the contestants; suffice it to say that ns
much mischief has been w rought aH could
reasonably have been expected from the
nature, character, and grounds of the con
test. We trust in this a lesson has been
taught.
We are also glad to have to chronicle
the fact that Mr. John J. Pickeren, of Cof
fee county, has been commissioned lor the
office of Tax Receiver, by the Governor
This contest, so far as we can learn, is the
only one the Governor sustained.

Coffee County.
A recent trip through this county me
| bled us to see many signs of industry and
i mechanical skill, the former comprised of
! the clean fields, good fences, and well kept
! stock; the latter of the comfortable and
I neatly arranged houses for the protection
| and shelter of every animate thing on the
I different places. At our friend, Mr. E.
; I’ickereu’s, we saw every indication of en
! terprise and thrift He has planted large
] ly of corn. Cotton, rice, potatoes, cane, Ac.
May he reap a rich harvest Farther ou
i we catne to one of the most industrious
I farmers in Coffee county, J. Wilcox,
i where we found an abundance of every
-1 thing. Tom cultivates about thirty acres,
and cultivates it himself; and we venture
to say that he has now, and always has on
1 hand, as large a quantity of corn and fod
! der, and the fattest korsevt nDd bogs, and
the like, that can be found in the countv.
May his tribe increase, lint we cannot
speak of all the deserving men we met.
Of this wo are assured, that there are more
real, genuine formers in this county than
can be found in any county of the • like
population; and there is more substantial
happiness to be found in their midst than
in counties that boast of large timber in
terests, saw mills and turpentine farms: in
truth, they are happy, and we wish them
much joy in their quiet, unpretending pos
sesions.

Another Phoenix.
Mr. S. R. Jenkins, who owned the store
occupied by Mr. A. N. Smith which was
burned in the recent fire, has.commenced
to rebuild on the same lot.
Pire-
Ou last Saturday the kitchen of Mr. S.
R. Jenkins caught fire, aud had it not been
for prompt and vigorous efforts on the
part of the citizens his dwelliug would
certainly have been burnt, the day being
quite windy, and water hard to obtain.
As it was, however, the damage was slight,
being confined to only one side of his
kitchen.

Still at Large.
Calvin Fuller, tho negro who brutally
murdered bin wife last week, as was men
tioned in the last issue, has not yet been
caught, although several searches have
been made fur him. We hear that he is
hiding in this neighborhood, aud was seen
and chased for some distance a lew nights
since. The colored people are greatly
incensed against lnm, and have made
strenuous efforts to capture him.

Meeting of Presbytery.
The Semi-Annual meeting of the Savan
nah Presbytery closed on last Saturday
after an interesting session of three days.
The delegates were hospitably entertained
by our citizens and no doubt curried away
pleasant recollections of their short stay
in our midst. Rev. R. Q. Baker, of St.
Marys, was chosen Moderator. Religious
services were held morning and evening,
aud able discourses were delivered by Rev.
Messrs. McFarland, Bell, Gordon, McKee,
King, and by Rev. Dr. Axon, of Savannah.
Sunday School Meeting.
One of the most interesting features ' of
the late meeting of tho Savannah Presby
tery in our town was a union meeting of
the Presbyterian and Methodist Sabbath
Schools to hear an address from Rev. Dr.
I. S. K. Axon, bfPavannah. After sing
ing several beautiful hymns, led by Mrs.
Dr. Moore, the accomplished leader ul the
Presbyterian Choir, the schools were ad
dressed by Dr. Axon in a manner which at
once won the attention and, hearts of the
children. The address was only too short,
as we heard the children say, and if the
elders did not profit by it, it is because
they luck the simplicity and guilelessness
that should make them “become as little
children."
re-
Shot At.
We learn that our efficient Sheriff, Mr.
A. L. Dauvergue, while making a search
for Henry Williams, an escaped convict,
in company with Deputy Sheriff Cason, of
Ware county, was fired upon by some un
known party, probably Williams himself,
but fortunately was not hit.
This negro, Henry' Williams, was sen
tenced to the Penitentiary for ten years
at the September term of Pierce Court,
but succeeded in making his escape some
time early in this year. He is a desperate
negro, and has made threats of vengeance
upon sundry citizens of Blacksbear, and
we trust that it will not be long before he
is recaptured. A rownrd of fifty dollars
has been offered for his capture, and sev
eral parties have made unsuccessful at
tempts to take him.
