ALB AS Y CENTRAL CITY.
It appears that Col. Styles and Ru spell, of the Cen

about it; .
Albany, Ga„ August 52, 1874. j
t believe it my duty to tae citizens of this city and
the readers of the Albany Central City to 6tate that on
yesterday evening a violent attack was made upon
me. accompanied witn all manuer of abuse, by the
editor of the Albany News. Ho made threats to take
my life, if I published certain articles, relative to him
and charges -he had undo against me. He made an
face, when I made the best de
fence in my power.
I have not sought a difficulty with the editor of the
News, but have always studiously avoided it, and will
continue to do so'.
The attack was altogether unprovoked.
I hereby notify the editor of the News and all other
persons that I shall always discharge my editorial
duties as I believe to be right, regardless of threats
or attempts at intimidation of any character. I ma y
lose my life in the endeavor to carry out this resolve;
I shall do it nevertheless.
Should any serious consequences result from law
essness on the part of the editor of the News, the
responsibility will be upon him alone.
I make this statement in vindication of myself.
“My rights are few, I shall maintain them; my per
son is sacred, it shall not be violated; my dnty is
plain, I will discharge it.” ▲. M. 0. Bussell.

ROCKDALE REGISTER.
The Begister publishes the following concerning an
Atlanta boy. Who is he?
Ou Sunday last a little incident occcurred at the Sa
lem Methodist Camp Meeting, which convulsed every
witness with laughter.
A dandyish specimen of Young Amorica, said to hail
from Atlanta, was sitting on tho edge of the worship
ping crowd,entertaining his sweetheart,when a buxom
lady, evidently from the country, attempted to pr.Bs
him. Onr Atlanta friend coucluded that this was a
fiue opportunity for a display of wit, and called out
after the ladj :
“Good bye, if you call that gone.!;”
The effect of Atlanta wit is magical. It was so in
this case. The lady paused in her rapid career, glar
ed at the young dandy for a moment, and then
swooped down upon him like a hawk. She took that
young man by the collar and shook him. She
grabbed that gentleman from Atlanta, and nabbed
him.
And the way she worried him,
And the way rhe flurried him,
And the way she went for him,
Wasn’t worth a cent to him!
And then she administered a dUnified rebuke.
“You impudent little rascal,” said she, “I’ll teach
you how to speak to women l ”
Then Bhe left him, and the young man took a seat
on the grass and told his eweetheartithat he admJredL.

LUMPKIN INDEPENDENT.
The Independent says the problem of the hour
down there is “something to eat.” Bacon and lard
have ballooned out ci sight, garden “truck” ard po
tatoes have been ruined by the drouth, and digging for
ground hogs seems the only resource. The editor of
the Independent proposes to m*ke up a party for that
purpose.
On Friday eight last Col. E. T. Beall’s plantation
was visited by one of the heaviest storms ever wit
nessed in that section of tho country. The mule
shelter was blovn down, killing two choice mulos and
crippling two others, one of them will nit recover.
The fences were ail blown down and the fodder re
cently pulled scattered to the four winds. Mr. Joe
Griffin, living on the place, says he never experienced
anything so fearful before in his life, and for awhile
thought the dwelling would be blown down upon the
beads of himself and family.
Two negroes liviDg on Colonel Sheperd’s plantation
were drowned in the Chattahoochee river, near Flor
ence, one day last week. '1 hey were attempting to
raise a fish basket, when the bateau which they were
in capsized and they, being unable to swim, were
drowned. The bodies were recovered on Saturday.
Both of them leave families.
The drouth has well nigh doubled the length of the
faces of cmr farmer frieads, and the universal cry is
that it has affected the crop more disastrously than
the cater pillar would have done. In some places
where the cotton was manured It has shed nearly all
its leaves, and the bolls are opening rapidly. AH
prospects for a “top crop” have disappeared, and what
will be made, will be made and gathered before half
the winter is aver. The pea and potato crops have
proved a’most failures, and altogether the prospects
are very discouraging.

ys the Grsiiu agro> are neaceablo aud inoffensive.
There appears to be no doubt of the religi
ous persecution going on in the Turkish Em
pire. The ltev. Jas. Davis, Secretary of tho
British Evangelical Alliance, is informed that
thiee Assairyeh converts in Christianity, who
had been living peaceful and blameless lives
as Uachers in a Christian mission school in
Snia, were, in Septembor last, suddenly
Bei*ed, put in chains, and, after being denied
food and drink, marched to Jebili, and thence
to Damascus, where they were thrown into
prison, and otherwise cruelly treated—the
only reason assigned being that they were
renegades from the Mussel man faith, a return
to which Would insure them liberty and kind
treatment. No crime or offence whatever
against tho law has been brought against
them, nnd on their refusal to abjure the Chris
tian faitk, they have been enrolled in the
Turkish army, and refused tho exercise of
Christian worship. The Grand Vizier con
sented to give orders for the removal of these
Christian converts to Constantinople, hut this
promise, as well as the others, has cot been
fulfilled.

Looking out of the window the other morn

trim little establishment in excellent order. I
had never set eyes upon her before, I was sure
of that, though she looked np at the window
with a bright and cherry smile as though she
had known me all my days. Springing out
of the high wagon like a girl of sixteen,
though she was evidently three times that
age, she hitched her horse and blanketed it

ushered into the parlor. She had come to in- ’
quire about some lots upon our farm, and L
assure jou she talked business, it evidently;
being no new thing to her. I found she was'
from a neighboring town, five miles distant,
where her husband is a prosgyrons ~.rchiteclt
and ,milder. After'she had obtained' the in
formation for which she came, we fell into a
•onvers.tiou such as our sex will indulaq.iu,
"Have you much of a.family ?” ,1 inquired.
“Eleven children,” tsbe replied, X opened
my.ejca • exuectins to hear
the usual answer these days, “Three, two
boys and a girl,” or vice versa, “Have you
never lost any children?" said I. “None,”
she replied, “and none are married; they are
till living at home.’' “What a 'family to
look alter!" I exclaimed. ~. t “On, I
shouldn’t mind our ora family : at all,
but we have always boarded three pr four car
penters necessary iu my husband?! business!
Then we have a farm, and a good many cows
to see to and butter to make, and as my hus
band is always busy iu other ways, the over
sight ol the farm devolves mostly on ire.”
“I hope you are more fortunate thrfh thii
rest of us in having good domestics to help!
you with all this work,” said I. The good'
woman straightened herself up and gave
decisive reply. “X never.kaep any,” she said;
“They never suit me.” “Your children must
help you a good deal, then.” “Yes. but they
have their lessons to learn. Their eldest sis
ter, who has as good an education as mncy
could give her, teaches them entirely at home.
We have a room in our house fitted up espe
cially for that purpose. They’ are mere
thoroughly taught by her, with the deep in
terest she leels in them, than if they went to
school elsewhere; and being able to recite
their lessens in the early part of the day, they
spend fewer hours over books, which is bet
ter for their health, and this enables them
to give me more assistance than they could
otherwise do.” What a sensible woman,
thought I, for you know what a favorite idea
homo education is with mo, wheu it is at all
practicable. So I drew my chair up closer
0 her, and said, “You don't do your own
sewing do ycu?” “Never sent out a stitch in
my life, dresses or anythisg else, even when
we had not a sewing machine.” “Do you
make your husband's and your boy’s shirts?”
I asked. “Every one of them. My e’dest
son is something of a dandy, as youug men
will be. and he bought some shirts a while
ago. Oh, such a fit as they were. I spent
more time ripping and fixing them than
would have cut and made a good half-doz
en.”
“Do you ever have time to go outside your
house ?” I inquired.
“Oh, yes,” she*replied|wi.h a smile; “I am
here this morning, you see, to inquire abouti
the land, and day before yesterday I went \jk
the State fair with some butter, and
premium.”
“You must sit up very late nights,”

Newspaper Enterprise—' The mail train on the
West Point Road now runs a schedule which throws
the Atlanta papers 24 hours behind time. The Her

line shall have a morning paper, and have chartered
a train, which leaves Atlanta about daylight, and car
ries their mornibg edition out on that road. Such a
masterpiece of enterprise was never undertaken in
this country, outside of New York, that we know of,
and it is by ter the most advanced and progressive
