The establishment of a Ih tormatory
Institution connected with the peniten

time to become an attractive and in
teresting issue with the Georgia peo
ple. Sue.'* .in cmi should meet with a
hearty endorsement from tho Glim
tain world, but the means is a matter
of a different .question/ {? !-•• * ivapp;,
indivibual who finds his work or call
ing. It is the most desirable and *ot
tunate society that does not go beyond
tho hints of its field of action; and its
subject! arc happy in having such lin
ers. About the best thing for the
society or state is to dispose of as
many criminals as is possible and
let justice follow assuredly and
quickly. Uc f oiming criminals is poor
business for o state to tin lertake. It
will have its insinuating sounds to
those who have never been able to
draw the line of distinction between the
work of tho Church and State. If we
would have a society of the highest
standard of excellence, it must be by
training the heart and mind in the
earlist days ofyonth, an ! to that end
let the good work ot society and
clut.cn he concentrated.
The scientists of Cincinnati were
greatcly interested one moroing last
week when it was announced that a
shower of fish had jnst fallen within
the city limits, They battened to
the spot and found tho leport to he
true. Quite a number of minnows
wero picked up in the street iust al
ter the rain, and the aforesaid scien
tists began to cnvofvc theories to ac
count for the phenomena. Just as
they had decided that tho minnows
bad been carried up by a water spout
and dropped there, an old womau
broke them nil up with the statement
that her ten year old boy had thrown
them out ot a basin, which he bad
used as an r.quaiiinrt, becanse he
thought they woe dying. A good,

The Mormon church did a very

ANOTHER FARM EH,
The law of suggestion lias been
clearly demonstrated in the articles on
Sunday Shools, ‘Lawyers’ 'Farmers’
&c., for the past Several issues of the
Timks. The points that have attracted
my attention anu caused me to intrude
upon the columns of the Times are
those raised by our esteemed Farmer,
of and the two “fnil
i lodged”, young Lawyers, of Trenton.
In their at (ides so many issues have
I neon raised that It would be too much
ol an intrusion to ask or expect space
to express myself with necessary sat
isfaction on them all. To draw n
distinct and dearly perceptible, line
between the moral character and act
ual worth o! the farmer and lawyer
is a matter that demands a mind of
greater talent and more Varied infor
mation than your humble communi
cant, But wheu those dashing young
lawyers at Tienton opens up their
well trained mental and verbage cali
bre in drawing a line that so contrasts
the peaceful status and fair ones of
Morganvillc and Trenton so much in'
favoi of the latter, I cannot resist
partially smashing their own glass
house with a lew light stones of facts.
Peaceful and hatmonious Trenton!
But the least said about it the better
for that place. In their religious
matters ihe fires of many things that
ilesh is heir to burns so strongly and
is so prominent that it seems to be en
tirely beyond the influence and control
of due tolerance and charity. Peaceful
Trenton, the only district or corpor
ate town in the county that permits or
licenes the sale of whiskey! No wonder
our first Lawyer would give the order
of Teniperacc an effeminating reputa
tion! What is Trenton’s reputation
for harmony in school matters? All
right at present —yes, reformed! Mind,
though that it is not like the young
man that joins tho “meeting-house’
temperance lodge to catch his girl.
But I cannot «top here. 'l’here i--
Brad Tatum and the editor that at
timo3 have a regular “pitched battle”
over dieir distinguishing religious
tenets. Both of them ought to be sent
to preach to the heathen, but not
together, Ben Brock can tell more
about ’‘disguised’’ and “prejudiced”
C Ps. at Trenton well the Omni
scient ought to call hiiy to testify as
tc their “evil ways” at the final day.
The old iSythiau king well understood
the principal and power of unity when
he called his seven sons together and
requested them to break the bundle of
sticks he laid before them, and after
they had attempted it and tailed, he
takes the bundle, separating tho sticks,
easily bmakes them. But this illus
tration has its limits. All history
and experience teaches ns that there
are instances when the .seocration *»f a
neopie or societies would give each and
all control of more effective power in
ameliorating both llieir own ills and
mankind m general—better for all.
Such will more than well apply to the
people of Trenton.
Our first Lawyer seems to be fully
aware as to who are living n the fear
and service of the Lord. I do not
doubt this. A person who is this well
acquaint with the sins and evil doings
of his neighbors is about as near the
embodiment of all tire wiles anu
, workings of the majesty as
is possible fov a mortal being to possess
Our la\/fer#&ro well informed as to
the wickodncss of heart and selfish
desires of the rest ot the woild, and it
is, therefore, good policy not fo pifi>-
iio’y expose their own wickedness anu
duplic.y.
Our second Lawyer, I scarcely know
what to say or how to answer jam. 1
have hunted and killed a many
equii rels; an<i it is surprising how easi 1
ly otic who has experience in such sport
can tell a young one almost at sign/
or by its maneuvers. If i had never
personally known every lawyer in
Trenton, i would have detected our
Another Lawi'er as one just merging
into manhood and the profession But
5 do not wish to discourage him and
chill bis high aspirations, tlicrefoie
will only advise him to inform his
older brother in the profession as to
t’ne diflfeionco between a corn sucker
and corn-shoot. It came over the
breezes today taut one of the Solons o'
the law in Trenton jmlled off the shoots
of his young corn lor suckers
Deception! Well, our first lawyer hi
refering to temperance societies deals
upon it considerably. Our second'
“ociipses the world” and every idea of
deception that the human mind has yet
conceived. Wants to be let alone till
alter ISopt. court!—Las so much pro
fessional business that ho has not time
to spare to enter into a discussion and
make a successful defense. It is a
common occurrence tor young men i<>
be deceptions as to their worth in teal
property; but never before of a young
professional having his business pub
lished as extensive, then sending a
marked copy to his sweetheart. But.
strangest of all, Ido not see the ne
cessity oi eonsistaney in this when he
stylos and put.: himself out as such a
“smasher”.
As to tiie pretty gilds of Motganvile
and Trenton 1 have but. liale or noth
ing to say only, would like to know
the “reason why” young men of
Trenton have to, or at least do, go
out of their own distant, and Stale
