Mrs. Aiumie McCulloch, nee Miss Am
in ie Torry, formorly of this city, died in
Columbus, Miss., on tho 2d just. Many
hero will remombor her as a very* swoot
and interesting young lady. At tho timo
of her death she was some twenty-throe
years of age. llor mother was well known
for distinguished ability in drawing nn<T
painting. Sho prepared the well known
Columbus Guards ling, presented to the
company at Brunswick in 1801.
The Mayor of Atlanta.
We heard a distinguished delegate to
the Agricultural Convention say, yester
day, that Gen. Bob Toombs predicts that
Kimball will bo tho Mayor of Atlanta in
two years. Already, as a reward for rob
bery, Kiiuball is assigned to the bridal
chamber in tho H. 1. K. House. What
makes tho difference, provided tho pile
you take is largo enough to make the
transaction respectable i*
What IFe Know About Farming.
Tho reporter in tho last few days has
heard so much about farming, that ho
can tell any man how to do it. Upon
oxygen, hydrogen and phosphoric acid ho
is perfect, and you can’t fool him on any
of the nitrates, citrates, superphosphates,
bisulphates, or any of tho hi dal dingoes,
lie can tell farmers tho only way to bo
independent is to make plantations self-
sustaining, for those who do not grow
poorer.
Adjournment of the Convention.
The Agricultural Convention has ad
journed to meet next August at Stone
Mountain. As a rule, tho convention has
been au able body, though disturbed at
times by long harruugues from not well
informed men. Persistent gas bags should
be closed out at every meeting. Some
valuable papers were read and suggestions
made that will rodouud to tho interest of
Georgia agriculture and the advancement
of the State. Able men controlled the
deliberations.
The Ides of March.
The Ides of March whs an eventful
period iu Roman history, and fraught
with fate to great Julius Cmsar, and in
tho future to his nephew, Octavius, sub
sequently the Emperor Augustus; and
the Ides of the coming mouth of March,
or rather tho 31st day of that mouth, will
be freighted with fortune to many in our
own great republic. Ou that day will bo
the grand drawing of the grandest Gift
Coucert over announced—that of the Fub-
Ue Library of Kentucky—when 12,000gifts
will be distributed. With such prizes as
*0,000, $100,000, Ac., which are to be
distributed, it i s not at all wonderful that
the demand tor tickets is unparalleled.

STATE
AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. |
PROCEEDINGS—THIRD DAT.
OEN. A. H. COLQUITT, PRESIDENT.
MORNING SESSION.
The Convention was called to order by
tho President Prayer by tho Rev. J. B.
McGeheo. Minutes read.
It was Mr. I?. C. Yancoy who seconded
tho resolutions, offered the day before, in
relation to Dr. R. A. Moore, deceased.
Mr. Carmichaol, of Coweta, moved to
reconsider so much of tho minutes as ac
cepted tho invitation to ride ou the North
A South Railroad. Ho thought, as tho
Legislature and Congress “was a settin,”
thoso bodies would pay attention to tho
suggestions of this Convention, and ho
thought they had bettor remain at work.
Borne gentleman from upper Georgia
suggested that his section was greatly in
terested in tho subject of narrow-gauge
railroad «, and delegates desired to see one
practically operated.
Tho motion to reconsider wus lost by a
heavy majority.
Gen. Harrison, of Savannah, movod
that three delegates from this Convention
be appointed to the National Agricultural
Convention, to bu held in Atlanta next
May.
By Dr. E. Hillyor, of Floyd—
Resolved, That this Convention ap
prove the policy of the bill now boforo
the Legislature providing for a complete
and thorough geological survey of tho
State, and wo earnestly petition that tho
Legislature pnvs this law and authorize
the work lo be commenced as soon us
poasiblo.
Ho a ided a few remarks iu favor of tho
resolution.
Gen. Browne, of Clarke, strongly en
dorsed the measure. It was important
that the resourced of our land and its min/
oruls should bo made in an authoritative
form. Such facts would tend to attract
immigrants and tend to prevent our own
citizens from leaving.
The resolution was unanimously ad
opted.
The reading of the report on diroct trade
with Europe was re.iumoJ. The great ad
vantages wo>*o detailed at too great length
for reprodu :tion hero. Tho ouhanoed
pneo of cotton, avoiding middle meu,
making closer relations with the plantor
and the manufacturer, enables tho farmer
to hold his cotton, borrow money at live
per cent., and pay the stockholders of a
company. The report was read by Col.
D. S. .Johnston.
Tho report was adopted, and ordered
published on tho miuutos.
The following, offered by Dr. Janes, of
Groouo, was adopted:
“Whereas, Tho interests of production
and transportation are co-ordinate
branches of industry, and whon properly
understood not antagonistic, but mutual
ly’ independent; and wheroas tho com-
rnittoo appreciates tho policy of tho rail
road companies of the State in the effort
to promote tho interests of production by
cheap transportation of fertilizers, aud by
extending facilities for such mootings as
promote agriculture ;
“Resolved, That tho thanks of this
Convention bo tendered to tho several
railroads for their courtesies to this body.
“Resolved, As tho sense of this Con
vention, tho prosperity of tho agricultural
interest and that of transportation are
perfectly compatible with each other, and
that a mutual good understanding bo-
tweou thorn should be studiously rnaiu-
tainod.
“ liosolvod, That so far as any vested
rights have been oonforrod by past legis
lation on tho railroad companies of tho
Stale, it is not the sentiment of the Con
vention that thoy should bo disturbed, but
that good faith should bo observed by the
State iu those as in all otlior obligations
based upon public faith.
By M. S. Radon, of Chorokoe :
“Whereas, the agricultural interest of
our couutry demand a cheaper rate of in
terest, aud wo tliink tho views of our
Worthy Senator, John B. Gordon, ftH ox-
pressed in a recent speech delivered iu
the Senate on tho financial question will
accomplish tho desired end ; therefore,
Resolved, That this Convention memo
rialize our Legislature to ask Congress to
pass such luw.i as will effectually embody
and curry out the views of our worthy
Sonator.
2. That the President of this Conven
tion be instructed to appoint a committee
to draft aud forward such memorial.
Adopted.
By Captain Winu—
“ liosolvod, That this Convention in
vito Colonel David S. Johnston, of Mor
gan county, to prepare and doliver an ad
dress nt our next inoetiug (iu August)
upcu the necessities, plaus and operations
of direct trade, and tho importance of
liberal co-operation among plant ora.”
Adopted.
Mr. White, of Pike, introduced long
preambles and resolutions, tho purport of
which was that tho Convention urge on
the Legislature tho establishment of a
Bureau of Agriculture as a department of
tho State Government. Adopted.
Mr. llopkius, of Gwinnett—
“ Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Convention that it would bo a wise aud
generous course for all manufacturers of
and dealers iu fertilizers to either sell for
cash, or if the furmcr must buy ou timo,
ho should not be required to pay before
the first day of December. Adopted.
["Notes are made payable ou Nov. lst.J
Gen. Guerry called attention to a cotton
screw, invented by Mr. Goorge Golden,
aud manufactured by the Columbus Irou
Works, ouo of tho largest manufacturing
establishments in the South. It was or
dered placed on tho right of the Speaker,
to he examined by members at their
leisure.
A resolution in regard to life mombor-
ship, by Dr. Janes, was pronounced un
constitutional.
A letter was received from President
W. Leroy Browne, of the State Agricul
tural College, stating that the total ex
penses of a student at the University for
a session of ten mouths was only two
huudred dollars, aud that it would be pro
ductive of great good if each Agricultural
Society iu tho State would offer au award
of a scholarship to tho most worthy aud
meritorious studont.
Mr. Paine, of Cobb, the Secretary,
urged the claims of the Direct Trade com
pany on the convention. It has been
recommended by the State Granges. The
capital stock was ton dollars a share, and
he hoped every plantor present would
take one or more shares. The object was
to advance money to planters who desired
to ship their cotton from Southern ports
to Europe, and thus save the expense of
middle men and the charges of intermedi
ate shipments at New York. He gave
some data on this point, showing that
Northern ports wore being fed at the ex-
expense of the South. It was expected
tho company would commence next
month. The eventual capital had been
placed at one million dollars. Six thou
sand bales of cotton for shipment were
assured tho company. A President and
twelve Directors are yet to bo chosen.
Each stockholder will have tho right to
vote for them. Southern tlohr is the best
to export to South America. All goes to
New York, shipped to the ports of that
country, aud Rio coffee received in ex
change is carried back to Now York, and
thence returned to the South.
Stone Mountain was selected as the
place for the meeting of the Convention
in August, on motion of Mr. Ragsdale,
supported hy Mr. Carmichael, Col. Mob
ley, and others.
At Stone Mountain the first agricul
tural association was organized.
Col. Mobley, of Harris, stated that, in
looking over his papers a short time since,
he had come across a poem delivered on
July 4th by Gen. Bailey, formorly of Co
lumbus. The compo^tion was grand.
Sion*- Mountain was a place of grand his
toric iulorost, and would create fresh and
noble impulses.
Dr. Newton, of Clark, introduced reso
lutions looking to a small supply of fer
tilizers at cash prices, to bo used more in
the production of coru than cotton.
Adopted.
Gun. Wm. M. Browne was elected Vice
President, as recommended by tho dele
gates of the Ninth District, to fill tho va
cancy caused by the death of Dr. It. D.
Moore, cf Athens.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Gen. A. II. ColquiU read the semi-an
nual report. Our present condition is an
anomalous and puinful one. Farmers
don’t raise their own bread, and no com
munity cau exist that does not furnish its
own supplies. All are convinced of this
fact, but each one hopes that his neigh
bor is so convinced ns to plaut plenty of
coru, that he may grow an abundance of
cotton. Farmers are out of tho safe
track. Abundant supplies will relieve all
from want, make independence, increase
onorgy and healthful activity. One man
with twelve acres of ground can support a
family of ton with au ample abundance,
and raise somo cotton to sell. (He made
this plain by demonstration.; Admitted
to bo right by all. Tho debtor is tho ser
vant of tho lender. Tho cause of indebt
edness is the borrowing of money at a
high rate of interest to raise cotton, aud
then to pay debts more cotton must be
raisod.
Labor is tho primary object to be con
sidered. To avoid work every scheme of
gain is rosorted to—such as gambling in
futures, Ac.
To thoso iu debt tho committee say get
out aud keep out. There is no royul road
out, but tho royal road in is crodit. Tho
trucks of tho fox were all to the lion’s
den. Thoro wore none outwards. Make
all you cau and speud as little as you can.
Tho groat difficulty is all attempt to live
up to tho scale which was justified before
tho war. Like the man shrunken by
fevor, au attempt by puffing to blow
themselves to proportions to fit their
former clothes. So now, to fill antebel
lum clothes, which were chariots, Ac.,
farmers go iu debt to furnish horses.
EXPENDITURES •
Are roprosentod as follows :
Receipts past year $118,357.12
Balance fromproceding year.2,072.53
Disbursed past year 10,235.52
Leaving balance of 1,701.21
Tho Association receives un annual
appropriation from the State of twenty-
live hundred dollars.
Tho Committee bus experienced serious
embarrassments iu holding Fairs, from a
waut of wonoy, aud hence has been com
pelled to contract with cities. The idea
in the future is to hold Fairs of several
weeks’ duration. The last. Fair was a
grand success, and tended to advance the
staudard of agriculture aud euhauce the
rivalry between individual companies.
During the past year Samuel Barnett,
owing to ill health, was compelled to re
sign, aud tho committee as reluctantly ac
cepted his resignation, and elected Mr.
Malcolm Johnston, un able and efficient
officer, to succeed him.
The report was receivod and approved.
Mr. Barnett, of Wilkes, enforced cer
tain views contained in the report of the
Executive Coioiuittoe regarding the credit
system, but advanced nothing which the
report did not contain.
Mr. Carmichael inflicted ou the con
vention nnother of his long speeches re
garding usury, as if a man would lend
money uuloss there was competition, at a
leas interest thau now. Such talk is mere
bosh.
Mr. Hopkins, of Gwinnott, urged home
manures, use a limited quantity of fertil
izers. A tou of fertilizers cost more than
n ton of meal. Ho advised the cultiva
tion of barley. Two acres of barley will
feed a horse a year. Plant in September,
cut when greeu, then when ripe have
beard sifted ofi, grind in a mill, aud wet
and feed to stock. Sow it broad-cast. It
will make 40 to 50 bushels per acre.
Then one farmer arose and gave statis
tics that it would uot pay to raise corn.
Such farmers have ruined our couutry by
such reasoning and ruiniug facts.
Mr. Ragsdale, of DeKalb county, said
the chief complaint from the colored belt
in tho State,where labor is too expensive,
and too much money is employed, and
where too few whites work.
It was developed in discussion that an
acre of corn required five to seven days
of work in a year. Somo couteuded it
| did not take three days. Acting Presi-
I dent Fannin, then presiding, stated that
I one mule ought to cultivate sixty acres.
Iu the fall put half iu small cereals; iu
' the spring 7 to 10 acres in corn, planting
from February 15th, to March 1st, and
1 oats before hand.
Mr. C. A. Redd hero stated ho had a The Fete to tho Convention—Largo and
painful duty to perform. He bad assured |
the Convention that the hotels in Colum- I
Brilliant Party.
Last evening closed the session of the
bus would chargo only $2 and tbe private Agricultural Convention. Columbus, in
houses $1 per day board for delegates.
He bad made this arrangement himself.
He bad understood some members were
charged over that amount. If the names
of such wore left with the Secretary, he
would, if possible, Bee that the overcharge
was returned.
Mr. Carmichael stated that the Planters'
Hotel had charged only $1.2.“, per day.
Mr. , of , introduced tbe
following:
liesolved, That tbe thanks of the Con
vention be tendered Mr. C. A. Redd and
his brother delegates from Muscogee
county, for their efforts to entertain the
Convention, nnd we exonerate him from
any blame iu the overcharge made by the
hotels.

DELEGATES AT LARGE.
General A. H. Colquitt.
Dr. A. Means.
8ecrelary Johnson stated the minutes,
including Prof. White’s, and Dr. Pendle
ton's lectures and Col. Hardeman's speech
would be sunt out as Boon as he could
bavo them printed.
Mr. Carmichael claimed he could drain
low lands to perfection. His model has
been stutod on tbe train. lie exhibited
oue on paper. It was a little examined.
A telegram wok received from the Na
tional Grange, at 8t. Louis, Mis
souri, asking if the Convention had
anything to ft.sk, and stating that an
address had been prepared to the Cotton
StateB. Tho National Grange Convention
asked that Hcuthern farmers plant moro
provisions. It was signed byT. J. Smith,
Master of the Georgia State Grange.
Col. G. W. Adams moved that the Con-
voutiou adopt the report. Ke alluded to
the fact that the West was the great grain
producing country, and in urging South
ern planters to produco such crops the
fact was shown that tho Grange was not
influoncod by sections.
Tbe resolution was adopted, aud with
cheers.
The usual thanks were returned to citi
zens, railroads, the press, tbe President
and Secrotnry.
President Colquitt, in returning thanks,
alluded to tbe able papers wbioh had boon
offered to tho Convention. Such a col
lection of farmers did good to Georgia
and her agricultural interests. The law
yers, doctors, churches, Ac., had their
annual gatherings. Why not farmers?
On motion, the Convention, at 2 p. m.,
adjourned to meet next August at Stouo
Mountain.
NUMBER OF DELEGATES.
In answer to questions. Secretary John
son stated the attondnuco on tho last
three sessions had varied from 175 to
228 delegates.
Iu the romarkB of Mr. liagsdale the
other day he stated that DeKalb couDty
alone had paid $5,000 in commissions to
agents fur fertilizers, and the county had
determined to buy direct for oash from
manufacturers.
A TO BE REMEMBERED FACT.
Of the many members who addressed
the convention it is to be noted ouly
those who made abundant provision crops
admitted to makiog any money. The ex
perience of their neighburs had been the
same. Those who had paid out of debt
hiuoe tho war told the same story. Every
planter should protit by this concurrent
testimony.
^Carriage In High Li/',.
Yesterday morning in the Presbyterian
Church waa married, hy ltev. J. H. Nall,
the fascinating Miss Kate De W. Willeox,
of this city, to Mr. Frank Lumpkin, of
Athens. The bride is tbe daughter of
Mr. D. F. Willeox, the well known insur
ance agont of Columbus. The groom is
the cashier of the National Hank in
Athons, and tbe son of Judge Lumpkin,
doceasod, for so long a period the distin
guished Judge of the Supremo Court of
Georgia.
The bridal procession in tho church
was headed by ushers S. S. Murdoch and
Cbas. Swift, and Will Ulunchard and Joe
Hill, succeeded hy MisseB Emma Hill aud
Theresa Griffiu, ami Misses Katie Down
ing nnd Maggie Cushman.
They were followod by the groom es
corting tho bride's mother, aud Mr. Will-
cox with his daughtor, tbe bride.
After the ceremony, an elegant recep
tion was given at the residence of Mr.
Willeox. Ou the afternoon train the
happy pair took their departure fur Ath
ens. ,A more beautiful bride and charm
ing attendants were never seen in Colum
bus.
The Excursion on tho yorth and South
Railroad,
honor of her guests, prepared • maguifl
cent banquet to her visitors. She tried
to make all welcome and contented, and
if success did not crown her efforts, it
cannot bo attributed to tbe lack of exer
tion on the part of her citizens. Tbe
festival at the Perry House last night was
a grand ovation. Tbe attendance waa very
large. The beanty of tbe city assembled
to do honor to our assembled visitors. We
have never seen more charming costumes,
nor can human vision hope to be enrap
tured by more enchanting luveliuess. If
the many members of the convention did
not, beneath sparkling glances, witching
grace, sweet toned words, and kind atten
tions, forget liens and worldly cares, and
especially fertilizers, corn and cotton,
nothing this sido of heaven can satisfy
them. Every enjoyment that heart could
wish was furnished.
The President, tbe noblest Itoman of
them all, the hero of Ocean Pond, and
tho handsome and able Secretary, were
completely captivated by the charms of
the fair oues. Music arose with volup
tuous swell; and light feet, to merry airs,
glided in the merry mazes of the danoe.
Even the geutleman from Coweta might
have forgo! ten his plan for draining low
lands, and that twenty-five bushels of corn
had been raised to the rod of land,
had ho participated in tbe intoxicating
gladness of the hours. Other rooms were
provided for conversation and social com
panionship. Among those who floated in
the airy movements of the dance were
two captivating maidens of Savannah.
Our own glorious beauties conquered
mauy a heart. The supper was a sump
tuous and bounteous .feast. It was pre
pared aud superintended by our first la
dies. Every detail waa perfection. The
ovening is long to be remembered as a
joyous oue in our history.

pauy, and embraced Geu. Colquitt, Col,
Fnanin, Dr. Moore. Dr. Lswtou, Mai-
com Johnson, tbe Secretary, aud many
other distinguished members of the Con
vention. The afternoon was delightful,
and the excursion car was brongbt into
requisition. The trip was a pleasant af
fair in every respect, and the participants
were eloquent in their praise of the sub
stantial character of the work aud the
delightful smoothness with which tho
train moved. The Howo truss bridge at
the Mulberry attracted flittering com
ment. Among others we noticed that
Gen. Colquitt grew enthusiastic over
what he saw of the narrow gauge system.
The run borne, a distance of twenty
miles, including two stops for wood and
water, was made in one hour and ten
minutes, and was enlivened by a bowl of
generous punch furnished by the atten
tive Committee on Entertainment. From
acknowledged merits of the production
and value of the information conveyed,
I do from this date establish the price at
50 cents per copy. Iu consideration of
this change, I do hereby agree to re
turn! tho money to any farmor who, after
reading the production, will certify to me
ho is not' fully satisfied with tho invest
ment. There is no slavery so hopeless
as that which compels a man to support a
family by the cultivatiou of poor land.
The problem to be solved by the South
beforo wo cau hope for agricultural recu
peration and prosperity, is cheap and re
liable manures. Tho Address solves that
problem. I defy the agricultural or sci
entific world to disprove one fact or posi
tion taken iu the Address.
