There is no reason why we should send
abroad for a pound of sugar, though our
home pro-1 action was last year but ten per
cent, of the consumption, when Louisiana
alone has suitable lands of sufficient area
to supply the present wants of the eoun •
try. Your fruits in wonderful variety, in
cluding those of the tropics, the products
of which tigure largely in our imports,
should annually add millions of dollars to
the wealth of the country. Scores of new
and useful plants should he added to the
list of those already in cultivation. lam
yearly adding many, through the Depart
ment of Agriculture, among the most
promising of which, the present season,
are the core horns (or jute) and the cin
chona which y ields the quinine. I .shall
continue these experiments of acclimatiza
tion, hoping to render you material aid in
your efforts in diversifying your agricultu
ral industry. Iu close connection with
this idea of variety of production, permit
me to present my third item of counsel.
wanipactibk voukows cotton.
If England, by tlie magic of labor, can
make a dollar s worth of your cotton pro
duce two dollars, and if France, by still
more delicate manipulation, can make it
yield three, why should not your people,
with willing hands to work, and abundant
water and fuel for power, manufacture a
large portion of your crops at least into
yarn- and coarse fabrics? and thus add to
the annual value of your industries a hun
dn-d millions more. Thus you may save
freight, storage, commissions, the profit of
manufacture, arid build up local markets
to consume more of the edible products of
your agriculture.
Here in Augusta you .have famished a
n; table illustration of the feasibility and
profit of manufacturing, in an enterprise cf
magnificent pi >: ' rtlona, two-thirds of the
capital of which his oorne from its own
net earnings. You have already ot.ier
siniila ;• w rks, and should establish them
in every direction, enlarging them from
(1,,-ir own profits until a large share of
your cotton shall be manufactured within
your own borders. .
Maauf.oturo is allied to Agriculture,
while commerce js id expensive dod-t rc _
duetive go-between. There are lew inter-
Cf.is of agriculture which do not involve
manufacture. In dairy farming, mi l; is
sold with no aid of manufacture, except as
it ig “extended” by aid ol the. pump, but
elites': and butter are the products of roan
ufaelur *, which last year yielded the value
of two hundred uud lorty six millions of
dollars, Flax and hemp can only reach
the market through certain processes of
manufacture *, wheat must be thresi ed,
corn shelled, liops cart fully kiln dried; so
with many other crops ; indeed the farmer
must necessarily Ire a manufacturer. High
farming’s always anil on'y found in con
nection with manufacturing skill iu extend
ing the raw products of agriculture; and
no purely agneultural nation can expect to
attain wealth, a high state of civilisation or
gicat poliiical power. These are facts
which should he carefully pondered, and
promptly acted upon.
Why is not the South to-day the great
manufacturing soction of the country ? It
is far better adapted to such an industry
than any other srerion. The answer may
b found in a paragraph from a former
official statement emanating from the Do
partment of Agriculture relating to this
section :
“The path of progress has been equally
open to all ; laws supposed to favor a
diversified industry have beeu applicable
to all States alike ; the best water power
and cheapest coal are in States that make
no extensive use of either ; milder di
nettes, and superior facilities for cheap
transportation have furnished advantages
that have not been transmuted into net
profits ; and yet such communities, daily
inflicting irreparable injury upon them
selves, by neglecting the gifts of God and
spurning the labor of man, arc wont to
deem themselves injured by the prosperity
flowing from superior industry, and a
practical political economy.”
Asa closing suggestion—one in which
the whole future prosperity of your States
is involved in an eminent degree— permit
me to implore you—
<llVK PROFITABLE LABOR TO ALL YOUR
PEOPLE.
Depend not upon the coolies of China,
or the people of Europe, until all your
people, of whatever color, condition or
capacity, have full employment for mind
and muscle in developing the wonderful
capabilities under your control.
The practical question of the day is not
where shall wo procure moro labor, but,
rather, how einwc utilize and profitably
employ the varied capacities, tastes and
inventive powers of every individual of our
present i opulation ? What can caeli a> i
complish with the best results? Wha*
eau be done lor the employment of men
practised in no skilltul employment?
Wnat for iudigent women, ana pven
children, dependent upon their own ex
ertions for subsistence, for an education
and advanced social positions? The
Miate that furnishes employment for
every son and daughter, tabor suited to
.very capacity and taste, heavy toil
for the unskilled and plodding, dexterous
and delicate manipulation tor the artistic,
effort with soul in it, for the intellectual,
will become instinct with lite, energy, pro
gress,.wealth and contentment. Then labor
will lie cheerful, toil a pleasure, and its
beniliocut results enhanced beyond the
highest expectation, Such results can
never follow the’praelioo of a few rude in
dustries.
It is only a truism to say that the
wealth of a country is the aggregate of'
its labor bovond its requirements for
subsistence. Yet the truth of the saying
is not sufficiently realized. The largest
results in accumulation can, therefore,
only be obtained by securing the best and
most effective efforts of every individual.
All must unite, then, and with heart and
will, iuind and muselo, contribute to the
great end ot enriching, beautifying and
blessing turn glorious land.
I am satisfied that anew era is dawning,
that the rule of ono idea is weakening,
a.:d that the diversification of production
has already oommenced, opening a career
of activity and a vista ot beauty unwit.
iicused iu the brightest days of this nation.

Y esterday was the fifth and last day of
the Cotton States Fair. The great body
of the visitors, who were in the city in
attendance at tho fair, left for their homes
on Friday night and on Saturday morning,
and the crowd yesterday was composed
mostly of citizens, though a good many
strangers were also present. The weather,
which has been warm, dusty and disagreea
ble during the whole of the week, was un
usually warm, dusty and disagreeable on
yesterday and detracted materially from
the pleasure of the occasion. After the
show of stock the first thing on hand, and
the most interesting to exhibitors, es
pecially lady exhibitors, of whom a large
number was present, was the
AWARDING OF THE PREMIUMS,
which commenced in front of the grand
stand at half-past eleven o’clock. A small
stand, erected in front of the main build
ing, was occupied by the officers of the
Association, and on it were placed the
large hampers ol’ solid silver ware, which
constituted the premiums. The awards ol
the judges were read by the managers
who had charge of the different depart
ments, and as each successful persons
name was called the prizes were ready for
reception. Owing to the confused condi
tion of the lists we are unable to publish
many of them this morning, but wi.l do so

Owing to the crowded state of the
columns of the Chronicle & Sentinel
yesterday morning we were uualle to pub
lish our report of the address delivered in
front of the grand stand on Friday last by
Hon. James Lyons, of Virginia. We
give it to our readers below :
SPEECH OF nON. JAMES LYON, OF VIR
GINIA.
He said his apology for speaking unpre
pared, was sickness, absence from home,
and want of time.
Two great orators of ancient and modern
times, said: “It was no eomplimeut to
the audience to speak without prepara
tion.” Ho could not'decline to appear be
fore a Southern audience, although there
were so many better quaiiified to do so than
himself—even if it were only to acknowl
edge the honor and apologize as he did,
much less could he decline to speak to a
Georgia audience, when lie remembered
that Georgia had sent her eons to aid Vir
ginia.
The speaker here referred in com
plimentary terms to the fair now in pro
gress and commended the enterpiiseofthe
members of the Fair Awociation as il
lustrated ou every hand in their spacious
grounds.
He thought agriculture a noble themet
No man ever followed the plow as it turned
the fresh furrow without thinking of His
maker and feeling his absolute dependence
on Him.
The practice of husbandry makes men
strong and bold, enabling them to defend
their country; and what science is there
more agreeable to a studious man, for he
finds in it every thing he can have occa
sion for. There was no science to his
mind more delightful than this if a man
has a convenient substance to set him to
work ; nor any business more profitable to
a man, if he has skill and industry. Again :
the ground may teach men justice if they
have discretion enough to observe it, for it
rewards those very liberally who take care
of it, and assist it. The science of hus
bandry also brings men to good discipline,
and prepares them to go war when there is
occasion. He was surely a wise man who
said that husbandry was the mother and
nurse of all sciences, for if husbandry flour
ish, all other sciences and faculties fare the
better. But whenever the ground lies un
cultivated, and brings no cron, all other
sciences are at a loss, both by land and
sea.” Again he says, “My opinion is tha;
the good management of the house is as
great a science as either masonry or
physic, or any other.” Henee we may in
fer that it is a distinct business or duty
belonging to aa economist or housekeeper,
as well as to any science whatever. A
farmer, cr a master ot a family, ought to
be a good judge of every particular which
relates to bis farm or house.
A great Athenian had spoken of cereals.
Carthage and the East poured out their
manufactured treasures of dyes, perfumery
and precious metals, but cotton was un
known to them. Five hundred and twenty
five years before the birth of Christ, it
grew in small quantities odlv, and of in
ferior quality, in the East Indies!
God gave it to the people of the South
to make them rich and powerful, but it de
| stroyed them, as the power granted to
| Midas of old destroyed him. May He, in
llis power and wisdom and me. ey, make
it the means of restoring the South and
her people once more to wealth and power,
aud make them a wiser people: that the
cotton planters of the South will hereafter
make use of cotton, and not peimit it to
use aud destroy them as it has done.
Never again proclaim it king, lest, like
: its own predecessor and the unfortunate
third Napoleon, it shall now be found to
be a crownless, captive king, whom no
gallantry, no self-sacrificiDg devotion can
rescue from captivity or preserve his de
voted subjects from starvation-
YV’e were at peace and happy while our
cotton was engrossing the markets of the
world and the South becoming daily richer,
when Y'ankee ambition and cupidity de
termined to place our profits into their
pockets by unequal, unjust, unconstitu
tional legislation, called a tariff to protect
American manufactures, and it should have
been added, to destroy Southern cotton
fields and American commerce ; and here,
in reality, commenced that war which has
lately ended in the desolation and slavery
of the South, leaving it the subjugated
province of the worst government, prac
tically, in the world.
Our distinguished citizen, Mr. Ste
phens, in hit very interesting and instruc
tive took on the causes of the war said
that it originated in a contest between the
North and South about the power of the
Federal Government. With great respect
he submitted that it was as much a misno
mer or missuse of terms as it would be to
say that a conflict wuha highwayman who
attempted to rob and murder you, was a
controversy about the relative rights under
tbe constitution of the tobber and the
owner of the purse and life which he as
sailed.
The ariff was broken down, and Mr.
Clay, when he introduced the compromise
bill, said it was to be reduced to a revenue
standard not exceeding twenty-five per
cent, as tbe manufacturers had protection
er-ugh. Here the war began really. Sew
ard, the worst man since Caesar Borgia,
said to a Southern Senator, “You have
broken down tbe tariff and so touched us
in a tender point, now we will touch you
on slavery,” and the agitation in conse
qusnee commenced. John Quincy Adams
and Rillott ot Alabama said, “Let millions
be bathed in blood.”
Seward followed it up. His hastility to
the annexation of Texas His message to
the Legislature of 'lew York proposing to
dissolve the Union, showed what his feel
ings were on the subject. His remark to
the speaker in Richmond ; his Rochester
speech; hi? bloody manifesto all proved
his intentions. He alluded to Mr.
Stephens’ faith in Lincoln, and thought
that it was not at all deserved. Lincoln,
in a speech, said that the country could’nt
be half free and haif slave. Yet neither
of these men (Seward or Lincoln), was
actuated by any regard for the slave, or
even hostility to slavery.
He spoke of Lincoln's letter *o Stephens,
and said that tbe effort to holdup slavery
wa3 no more the cause of the war than the
heart is the cause of the shot which
pierces it.
Speaking of the late conflict he alluded
to the inhuman disregard ot the rules of
war. He said he would not speak of it
except to denounce its atrocities—Grant
and Sheridan, and the valley fight of
the latter near his bouse, and to show
that it was continued and conducted in
the love of plunder in which it commenced.
Ali the Northern soldiers wanted lands,
spoons, jewelry, &c., &c.. He said Sher
man had no love for the Union or the
Constitution. He spoke of reconstruction
in Virginia. Military rule was now over,
but would we ever have a constitutional
government again? Chase, Marshall,
Burt, bad shown the evils of centralization
—the horrors of it, but Congress is to
possess the powers now claimed for it.
why keep up the State governments at all?
He alluded to the influence of woman
and wife, and paid a tribute to tbe de
votion of noble Confederate women.
He said that he esteemed a wife to be a
good and necessary companion for the
master of a house, odc who ought to bear
the next share of government under the
master of the house. There is only a
little more power in the husband than in
the wife. The substance of the estate is
generally increased by the labor of the
man, the wife, for the most part, has the
care upon her to distribute and order those
things which are brought into the bouse ;
:ind if, therefore, tbe husband and wife
agree in their management, the houses and
e states improve, but where there is not
this harmony they must necessarily decay.
And dow he would, with grateful thanks,
thnkc his seat; but one word was duo to
friendship and to fame, to goodness and
greatness, to the tomb and tne memory of
him who led our glorious army in so many
fields to victory—who lived like Bayard
and died like Socrates.
Robert E. Lee is dead! He was an
extraordinary man, and, if he understood
what constitutes greatness; be was a
great man ! The first element of great
ness is perfect self-command, for no man
who cannot command himself can com
mand others. The next is unqalified de
votion to duty, and with these must be
combined, the courage and capacity to
execute. One may be great in the law in
politics, or in military affairs, and yet not
a great man. From the time when he
was a lieutenant, when his acqaintance
with him commenced to the moment of
his death. General Lse combined these
qualities, though not in so high a degree
as he did in the latter part of his life- This
capacity always rose by study and practice
to the occasion which called for its ex
ercise. Thus, in the war with Mexioo, he
was. by an accident, placed upon the
staff ol General Scott as Colonel Smith,
the chief of a Virginia corps told him at
Fortress Monroe. He told him that when
in consultation with him General Scott
made out his list of staff officers he had
omitted the name of Lee, and he told
Scott, “You have omitted the man of all
others that you should havp, which is
Robert E. Lee.” General Scott imme
diately assented and placed him upon the
staff. How he performed his duty there,
thecouDtry kuows. When the war was
over General Scott thought him the first
mania the armv, and said to him, “That
man. Robert E. Lee, ought to be com
mander-in-chiei of the army.” He said,
“I suppose you moan after you retire.
General.” Scott said, “No sir 1 No sir !
Now ! Now !” General Persifer Smith
told him the man who left the army of
Mexico with the greenest reputation was
Robert E. Lee.
To extol the coutage of Robert E. Lee
in any studied form would make a speaker
ridiculous, and yet he might be pardoned
for saying that he had seen him at bath
battles of Cold Harbor act in a manner that
made his perfect self possession and capacity
for command a marvel. Like the famous
Bayard he professed no contempt for
death, nor ever exposed himself when he
did not consider it his duty to do so, and
he believed he never experienced the emo
tion of fear nor thought of death with
terror. He was remarkably reticent and
singularly modest. No man ever heard
him extol any act of his own or place him
self in the foreground in any description ol’
a battle. It was difficult, for instance, to
obtain from him a description of his pas
sage of the Pcdrigal, which he once had
from him, and which General Scott told
him he bilieved it was the bravest aot
any man ever performed. For, with all
its danger, it was done it the night and
darkness, with no stimulant but his sense
of duty and his courage. That sense of
duty also brought him to the Confederate
cause, without one selfish or ambitious
thought. His tenderness for the feelings
of others was remarkuble. The speaker
had never heard him speak unkindly of
any man but twice ; once was iu describing
his last retreat, when he spoke of those
who did not perform their duty, and said,
“that if they had done it, Grant would
still have been repelled and the retreat
made good.” “But,” he added, poor fel
lows, they were starving ” The other was
when he spoke of a politician, now a Sen
ator, who wished him so couDtenanc him
in cheating Indians. When the speaker
contemplate General Lee’s death —that
slow and gradual expiration of the taper
of a life which had been devoted to his
country, he was reminded of Socrates, who
said to his lamenting friends, “know you not
that hitherto I have yielded to no man
that he hath lived more uprightly, or even
more pleasurably than myself. Possessed
as I was of that well grounded self-appro
bation arising from the consciousness
of having done my duty both to the Gods
and men ; my friends also bearing their
testimony to the integrity of my conversa
tion. Doth it then appear marvelous,
that the Gods should think this the very
best time for me to die ?”
Ho gave bis life to his country. His
soul to his God.
He lived like Biyard—above all re
proach, and he died like Socrates —un-
complaining in the consciousness that he
had done his duty. Os him it may be
truly said that
“He was good without noise,
And without pretension great.”
The good of all nations revere and la
ment him. They offer incense to his mem
ory, aud garland his grave with flowers.
Bad men of our own country only sneer at
his fame and throw nottles on his grave.
After the delivery of the premiums,
which lasted for several hours, the races
for the day commenced. The first race

the
CONCLUSION
of the first fair of the Cotton States Me
chanics’ and Agricultural Fair Associa
tion. That it has been a complete suc
cess in nearly every particular, there can
be no doubt. The visitors came not only
from Georgia and the Southern gtates,
but from every part of tbe conntry and
their number was faliy as large as could
have been either expected or desired. Ma
ny of the exhibitors also came from abroad,
and in every department, save one, the
number of beautiful and useful articles on
exhibition was larger than at aDy similar
exhibition given in tbe South since the
surrender. The live stock department
was the only one in which the entries
were not as numerous as could havo been
desired ; hut among the animals entered
was some of the finest stock in the coun
try. The grounds and buildings de
servedly attracted much attention, and
gentlemen who had traveled North and
West pronounced them superior to any
in the South and equal to any in the coun
try- The first exhibition having proven
so groat a success the association is now on
a firm aud solid basis and every succeed
ing fair will be an improvement on those
which have preceeded it.
Agricultural Implements, &c.— By
far the most interesting department to
visiting farmers at our Fair was that of
Mechanics, where the most profuse display
of agricultural and horticultural imple
ments was made.
Mr. Samuel A. Echols, who has recent
ly established a depot for agricultural im
plements in this city, had on exhibition an
almost endless variety of articles. We
noted a portable thresher and separator—
run by horse, water or steam power—
threshes at least 400 bushels wheat per
day ; a victor eane mill, in use in twenty
five States, has taken forty-three pre
miums ; very simple, and not liable to
become disordered ; a sugar evaporator
that is labor-saving, and not at all com
plicated.
The archimedian stump puller,an useful,
cheap and desirable machine. Brigfora
& Huffman’s grain drill distributes, fault
lessly, cereals and fertilizers with astonish
ing certainty and regularity. Wood’s self
rake reaper is. portable and must commend
itself for utility. Burch’s wheel rake ap
pears to be just the machine which the
economical farmer needs. The hand lawn
mower, excelsior, is a novel and apprecia
ble machine. Geddes’ folding harrow, the
pulverizing harrow, and the Rotary har
row each have their excellences easily
noted by the practical agriculturist. The
oider press, greatly improved, telegraph
forage cutter and horse power corn shelier,
deserve something more than the passing
notice we are forced to give. New and
improved horticultural implements, strong
trucks, clothes horses or racks, have each
their peculiar merits. The eagle cotton
press, five feet lever, claimed to be equal,
if not superior, to the best. We close with
Echols, at whose establishment here and
in Atlanta, the above and other articles
may be found.
cotton freshes.
The Utley Cotton Press, by Glenn &
Wright, Atlanta, said to possess power
without friction; is simple, expeditious and
labor-saving—may be set in the lint room,
disneubing with the use of baskets. It is
said to approach more nearly to hydraulic
power than any other. The stump-puller,
by same firm, has its excellencies.
We looked at a number of presses, for
each of which the inventor or exhibitor
claims especial merit, such as economy,
simplicity, perfect accordance with scientific
principles,!etc., etc.,jfjviz : Smith’s steel
ratchet cotton and hay press, manufac
tured in Augusta at Forest City Foundry;
Tar Heel Cotton Press, by C. J. Beasley,
Petersburg, Va.; Virginia ootton and hay
press, Tappey, Lurasden & Cos, Petersburg,
Va;; Georgia lever and hay press, by
Pendleton & Boardman, Augusta, Ga.;
Armstrong cotton press, manufactured in
Augusta, Ga., by Mr. Phil. Malone. Wo
give the address that planters may com
municate with the gentlemen named, and
obtain circulars giving tho specialities of
each press.
Among cotton seed distributors and
cotton seed and guano distributors, we
noted the following: Foster’s simple and
under first head; Brook’s, White’s com
bination. Messrs. Moore & Cos., of this
city, are agents for Brook’s. Mr. White’s
address is Miiledgeville. Accuracy in
distributing seed and guano seemed to be
the chief points in each maohine.
Shaw’s cotton seed halier and grits
mill is represented by Mr. Jno. Jenkins,
of this city. Messrs. Moore & Cos., ex
hibited a ootton seed huller, by Peabody,
very simply arranged and easily worked.
The Eureka “-nut and separating ma
chine, from Howes, Babcock & Cos.,
(silver creek. Chautauqua Cos., N, Y., was
an object of interest.
COTTON GINS.
S. Z. Hall’s improved self-feeding gin;
YVinship & Bros., of Atlanta, fifty saws;
Gullett gin, manufactured at Mystic River
Conn; a gin by Mr. E. Morris, of Colum
bia, S. C.; Neblett & Goodrich’s Augusta
gin; that of Griswold, improved by Mas
sey, of Macon, Ga.; Daniel Pratt’s gin,
Prattville, Ala., YVheeless & Cos., agents,
Augusta; Carver’s horse-power gin, R.
Schley, agent, Augusta; Thos. Wynne’s,
Belair, Richmond county, Ga.; each and
all are possessed of very many special
points, prominent amongst which are
thoroughness in stripping the seed, power
for throwing the cotton a greater distance,
etc.
A simple and cheap cider press, which a
small boy can manage with ease, was ex
hibited by Messrs. Moore <& Go. , agents at
Augusta for the manufacturers, Sinclair &
Cos., of Baltimore.
Farmers had an opportunity of judging
of the exoellencie3 of the numberless plows
on the grounds.

A New and Healthful Article of
Food.— The Sea Moss Farine, manufac
tured from Irish Moss, by the Rand Sea
Moss Farine Cos., has been placed on our
table at different times, and proves to be
one of the best, most nutritious and easily
digested of all the farinas now in use. It is
palatable to the taste, is lighter and less
compaot than any other farina, and hence
better adapted to weak stomachs, to dys
peptics, to invalids, and all persons of frail
constitutions. In cases where tapioca,
sago, barley, corn starch, maizena and
similar articles are beneficial, the Sea Moss
Farine is not only a substitute, but has
advantages which neither of them possess,
because the main ingredient of the moss
has been considered by medical men lor
many years as having invaluabie remedial
properties. It is particularly recommended
for pectoral affections, scrofulous com
plaints. diarrhea, &e. Editor Hall's

PRESENTMENTS
OF THE
l /rand Jury of Oglethorpe County, at
October Term , .1870.
October 20, 1870.
We, the Grand Jurors drawn and sworn
to serve at the October Terra of the Supe
rior Court for said county, would most re
spectfully make the following general Pre
sentments :
We have examined, through appropriate
committees, the public buildiugs of the
county, and find them in good condition,
except that the Courthouse window blinds
need repairing and rehanging. We also
recommend that the garret windows be
repaired with new lights. We find the
Jail safe and in a very cleanly condition,
witli no occupant.
We have carefully examined the Books
of the Clerk of the Superior Court and
find them correctly and neatly kept, re
flecting ranch credit ou said officer.
We have examined such books belong
ing to tlie Ordinary’s office as have been
submitted to our inspection, and find them
neatly and correctly kept, as far as we are
able to judge, though we are not satisfied
with the investigation made; he having
failed to submit to our inspection a certain
Book in which the incidental and other ex
penses of the county are said to be regis
tered. The indebtedness of the county, as
far as we are able to ascertain from the
Ordinary, is as follows, to wit; Bonds
unpaid, twenty-five of SIOO each, with
coupons, for January Ist and July Ist,
1870, $2,500; for Paupers and Jail fees,
April term, $1,500. There is, besides, a
small amount, due for county line bridges
and other incidental expenses—how much
the Ordinary does not state, though he
says no large amounts.
We find the Books of the County Treas
urer neatly and correctly kept, with cash
on hand, $64 25.
The taxes of our comity being so oner
ous, we hereby protest against the action
of the Ordinary of this county in levying
one hundred aud fifty per cent, upon the
State tax for county purposes. The Legis
lature having passed an act authorizing the
Ordinary of this county to raise ten thou
sand dollars for the purpose of establishing
a Poor House, we hereby recommend the
Ordinary not to purchase or establish said
Poor House.
We find upon the record of the County
Treasurer that $475 have been paid out to
the officers of this county tor extra ser
vices, as we believe without authority of
law,
Having consulted the Solicitor General
pro tem., General Dußose, we find that the
Ordinary of this county has no right to
appoint a Special Bailiff for this Court,
when he can have the service of regularly
elected and bonded Bailiffs; and we here
by recommend that such Special Bailiff be
no longer paid out of the public funds of
the county.
We recommend that all dead trees in
dangerous proximity to the public roads of
this county be cut down by the overseers
when they work said roads.
Wo beg leave to present the following
roads as being in a bad condition and need
ing immediate attention and re-working,
to wit; The road from Lexington to
Bowling Green, near George H Lester’s
plantation, from the 2-mile to the 3-mile
post; the road from Mrs. Mary P. John
son’s to Oliver’s saw mill, on the railroad;
the road from Lexington to Danielsville
needs working from Coil’s gate to Beaver
Dam creek; the road leading from Wash
ington to Danielsville at Sanders’ Mill, on
Grove creek, needs immediate attention ;
the road from the fork; near Thorium
Smith’s, to Long creek, on the road lead
ing to Salem church; the road from the
cross, near Thomas P. Callaway's, to the
widow D. D. Johnsons; and we hereby
present the Commissioners of the District
through which the above cited roads pass
for neglect of duty ip pot having said
roads pat in proper order. And wo would
also recommeud the proper authorities to
have one of tho two gates removed from
the road near Hooea B. Mattox’s,
In taking leave of his Honor Judge
Andrews, we desire to tender our thanks
for the kindness and politeness shown by
him to our body during tho present term
of the Court; and to the Solicitor General,
J. M. Matthews, we desire to return our
thanks for the extremely little trouble and
information which he has given our body
during the present session of the Court,
and we would most respectfully request
the said Solicitor to resign his position, as
we consider him incompetent to dijeharge
the duties of his office.
We respectfully request that these gen
eral presentments be published in the
Chronicle & Sentinel of Augusta, and
the Constitution of Atlanta.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which
is at once agreeabL,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or qray
hair is soon restored
to' its original color
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick-
WHEAT.
cned, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit, but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long ou the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a gratetul perfume.

Science and Art,
HaVING purchased the BANNER OF
THE SOUTH, we propose to continue the
publication of this widely known Journal
under the above name, and entirely freed
from its sectarian character.
Cur object is to publish a paper which
will command the support of the iarge
number of intelligent gentlemen through
out the South engaged in the pursuits
which we make a leading feature ol our
enterprise.
Iu this day of steam and telegraphy—
of rapid progress and diffusion of knowl
edge, the Southern Agriculturists require
a more speedy medium of communica
tion with the world around tnein than
that afforded by the monthly Press. To
meet this great and growing want, wo
have determined to oiler the
WEEK t-Y
BANNER OF THE SOUTH
AND
PLANTERS’ JDURYAI.
In addition to its agricultural feature
we propose to give weekly an extensive
summary of the latest news both by mail
and telegraph. Asa general
NEWSPAPER,
We desire to make it a welcome visitor at
every fireside in the South. Market re
ports, general news—commercia., pmti
cal and financial—current literature
scientific discoveries will he carefully
collated and prepared by gentlemen of
skill and experience.
THE MEMORIES OF THE LOST CAUSE
Will continue a leading feature in the
management of the BANNER OF THE
SOUTH. We shall gather up and give to
our readers the great mass of material
lying now concealed iu the recollections
of those who were participants in the war,
in the shape of personal incidents,
OBITUARY NOTICES. SKETCHES OF CHAR
ACTER, RECOLLECTIONS OF THE CAMP, TH E
battle and the hospital, together with
brief reports of the principal battles
and skirmishes. We desire to make the
BANNER OF THE SOUTH
THE ORGAN OF THE OFFICERS AND SOL
DIERS OF THE CONFEDERATE ARM l ,
And its columns will be constantly open
to them as a vehicle of communication
with each other.
THE BANNER OF THE SOUTH AND
PLANTERS’ JOURNAL will afford a
fine advertising medium, and we solicit
the patronage of advertisers throughout
the country. We have now a circulation
of over FIVE THOUSAND BONA FIDE
