THE GEORGIA GRANGE.
LaFayette Clipper says: Our attention has
been directed to this subject by a gentleman of
this county, Mr. J. S. Sorrells, who has been
for some years engaged in the business. We
tested a sample of his syrup, and it is certainly
g oo d_f ar superior to anything that could be
mkde from the sorghum. With rich bottom
land, manured with eighty bushels of cotton
seed to the acre, a most abundant and profita
ble crop could be made. It is not absolutely
necessary that it should be bottom land, but it
must be very rich. At a cost of fifty dollars
(two cents a stalk) an acre can be planted ; or,
a cheaper way, plant one-sixth of an acre at a
cost of $8 33J, and saving all you make you
will have enough to plant an acre the follow
ing year. Mr. S. measured a space eighteen
yards long and six wide, from which he made
twelve gallons of really fine syrup. A simple
calculation shows that an acre will yield five
hundred and thirty-seven and seven-ninths
gallons. This gives a margin for a handsome
profit. We hope that our farmers will con
sider this subject.
Retribution —Capture and Death of
a Notorious Desperado.—The Eufaula
News, of the 12th, gives the following thrilling
recital of the capture and death of the notori
ous outlaw, Jim Bivens. The News says:
Jim Bivens, the monster, and most auda
cious negro that ever figured in Barbour
county, was shot and killed on Wednesday
afternoon last, about four o’clock, near Coch
ran’s Station, on the Montgomery and Eufaula
railroad, six or seven miles northwest of this
city. He had been seen early in the morning
of that day, to run out of a fodder house on
what is known as the Cato plantation, and
make for the swamp of the Chewalla creek.
Immediately his presence in the neighbor
hood was made known, and Sheriff Hart and
his deputy, Mr. Hol. Harrold, with a large
posse of whites and blacks from the surround
ing country, gave the villian chase. He, how
ever, succeeded for several hours in eluding
his pursuers, and a number of those who
started out in the chase abandoned it and went
home, thinking that Jim, as usual, had again
escaped. Colonel H. J. Irby’s dogs were called
into requisition, and that gentleman, after din
ner, started out to assist in the hunt. While
riding along the public road he espied a
negro’s head just above a little mound some
one or two hundred yards off, and thinking
that it was Jim, laying in wait for an oppor
tunity to cross the road, Colonel Irby stopped
and sent for his dogs. As soon as they came
up, he approached the spot where he had seen
the negro’s head, and just as he arrived at it,
he saw the negro making off down the slope
toward the creek bottom. The dogs were put
upon the warm trail, and they kept it during
the chase, frequently bringing Jim to bay in
the swamp; but he being armed with a large
knife, the dogs were afraid to tackle him. And
thus the chase continued, until Jim was driven
through and out of the swamp into a large
open field, where he was almost surrounded,
and in which fifteen or twenty shots were fired
at him —one from Deputy Sheriff Harro’.d
taking effect in the small of the back, and
which prevented Jim from running fast. He
fought his way, however, out of the field, and
again got into the swamp, and for a short
while was out of sight of his pursuers ; but in
attempting to re-cross the creek, at a certain
point, he was met by Colonel Irby and his son
Charles.
Colonel I. was unarmed, but about the time
he got sight of Bivens, a negro came up with
a double barrel gun, one barrel only of which
was loaded with large squirrel shot, and the
Colonel took it from the negro and told Jim,
who was then about twenty paces off, and
across the creek, that it was useless for him to
try to escape longer, to surrender and he should
not be hurt, but if he did not do so he would
certainly be killed. While this was taking
place, the pursuers and dogs were rapidly ap
proaching behind Jim, and he saw that he
must cross the creek to escape, and, telling
Colonel Irby, with an oath, that he would not
surrender, and brandishing his knife and call
ing to Charles Irby, who was partially in front
of his father, to stand aside, that he was com
ing, he started forward, determined to die
rather than be taken alive. Colonel Irby then
fired, the load of shot t .king effect in the vil
lain’s face and head, and producing death in
two or three minutes.
The body was then put on a hand car on
the railroad and brought to this city, and taken
hence on the evening train to Clayton. The
death of this monstrous villain, who spared
neirher age, nor sex, nor color, in the accom
plishment of his vile purposes, was hailed
with delight in this city, and by none so much
as by the colored women, who dreaded him
with feelings of terror. White and colored
men alike vied with each other in the exciting
chase, and all who assisted in cringing the
villain to bay, and his just deserts, are deserv
ing of the thanks of the community.
Indicted. —Colonel 11. J. Irby an d a negro
named Paris Baker were indicted by the grand
jury of the Circuit Court of Barbour for the
killing of Jim Bivens. The trial took place
on Wednesday, the 24th.

No more delicate sentiment could have been

A Want Supplied.
The American mind is active. It has given us
books of fiction for the sentimentalist, learned
books for the scholar and professional student,
but few books for the people. A book for the
people must relate to a subject of universal in
terest, Such a subject is the physical man, and
such a book “The People’s Common Sense
Medical Adviser,” a copy of which has been re
cently laid on our table. The high professional
attainments of the author. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. Y., aud the advantages derived by
him from an extensive practice, would alone in
sure for his work a cordial reception. But these
are not the merits for which it claims our atten
tion. The author Is a man of the people. He
sympathises with them in all their afflictions,
efforts and attainments. He perceives their
want—a knowledge of themselves—and believ
ing that all truth should be made as universal as
God’s own sunlight, from his fund of learning
and experience, he has produced a work in which
he gives them the benefits of his labors. In it
he considers man in every phase of his exis
tence, from the moment he emerges “from a
rayless atom, too diminutive for the sight, until
he gradually evolves to the maturity of those
conscious powers, the exercise of which furnish
es subjective evidence of our immortality.”
Proceeding upon the theory that every fact of
mind has a physical antecedent, he has given an
admirable treatise on Cerebral Physiology, and
shown the bearings of the facts thus established
upon individual and social welfare. The author
believes with Spencer, that “as vigorous health
and its accompanying high spirits are larger ele
ments of happiness than any other things what
ever, the teaching how to maintain them is a
teaching that yields to no other whatever,” and
accordingly has introduced an extenaive discus
sion of the* methods by which we may preserve
the integrity of the system and oft times prevent
the onset of disease. Domestic remedies—their
preparation, uses and effects—form a prominent
feature of the work. The hygienic treatment,
nursing of the sick, is an important subject, and
receives attention commensurate with its impor
tance. Nearly all diseases “to which flesh is
heir” are described, their symptoms and causes
explained, and proper domestic treatment sug
gested. To reciprocate the many favors be
stowed upon him by a generous public, the au
thor offers his book at a price ($1 50) little ex
ceeding the cost of publication. Our readers
can obtain this pratical and valuable work by
addressing the anther.
The Best Protection.
”he best safeguards against epidemic disease
are thorough digestion and firm nerves. It is
because they assure the regular performance of
the digestive process, and invigorate the nervous
system, that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters are
such a sovereign protective against the influences
which beget intermittent maladies, and those
which directly affect the stomach and bowels.
If the nerves are healthfully tranquil, the as
similation of food perfect, as they are sure to be
under the influence of this standard tonic and
nervine, malaria may be defied, and if, in the
absence of the most reliable of medical safe
gi ar Is, the system has fallen a prey to disease
of an intermittent or remittent type, the Bitters
will, if persisted in, eradicate every vestige of
the malady. Biliousness, constipation and dys
pepsia yield with equal certainty to the operation
of this potent vegetable alterative.

C. P. Knight, Agent Bradley’s Patent Enamel Paint:
Dear Sir —I desire to express to you my great
satisfaction with the Liquid Enamel Paint,
(Bradley’s Patent) purchased from you last
spring. It spreads even and smooth, and leaves
a fine glossy surface, and, with the colors used,
has really given a wonderful change to the ap
pearance of my dwelling. It is more economi
cal than the paints made of lead and linseed oil,
and being already mixed, is much safer in the
hands of such painters as we have in the
country. Indeed, I feel warranted in saying
that it has all the excellent qualities you claim
for it, and I should be glad to see it introduced
into general use. Very respecfully yours,
ROBERT HESTER.

Mr. C. P. Knight— Dear Sir: We have for
several months past been using your Bradley’s
Patent Enamel Paint on our College Building,
and are well pleased with it; though it was ap
plied by one having no experience in such work,
yet we have a good job. We shall continue to
use it, believing that, in point of economy, dur
ability, and facility of application, it is superior
to any other pigments offered in the market.

A. C. Ladd, Esq.— Dear Sir : In reply to your
request to know about the success of your Alka
line Fertilizer, would say that it has done splen
didly on my plan tat icn this year. I especially
recommend it as superior to any Fertilizer that
I I know of for composting with cotton seed. Out
j of nearly forty tons of different kinds of Ferti
lizers used on my plantation this year. I am bet
ter pleased with yours, price considered, than
any other.
The cotton on which your Fertilizer was used
is better than any other, except that on which
Merryman's Dissolved Bone was used, and is
nearly equal to that. I cannot tell yet how the
fruiting will turn out, but it has every indication
of a heavy yield. Mr. McCord, my overseer, who
is an excellent farmer, agrees with me m this
estimate of your Fertilizer.

Oyster Shell Lime!
THE BEST AND CHEAPEST FERTILI-
ZER IN USE IN GEORGIA.
Y’ OTHING in the way of a I'ertilizer and
Renovator of old soil-, has been found
equal to
Pure OYSTER SHELL LIME.
It is not only for one year, but its good effects
are seen, and continues for eight to ten years.
Lime is greatly beneficial to all grain crops, ap
plied as a top dressing, and also to Potatoes and
all root crops, and should be applied in quan
tities not less than twenty-five to thirty bushels
per acre. For compost heaps it is invaluable,
and to the planters of Georgia this plan of using
Lime is specially recommended, to bring up our
State to the front rank in agricultural matters.
The cheapness of our Oyster Shell
I-ime will recommend it to every farmer who
has used fertilizers largely for the past few
years. Its value is greatly enhanced by its long
years of service acting as it does for years after
its application has been forgotten.
In soils abounding in vegetable substances
the manurial quality of Lime is more fully rec
ognized. Nitrogen abounds in all soils of com
mon fertility, but little of it is available—Lime
