Henry county has 37,307 acres in cotton and 21,480 in corn. —Thoraasville dubs itself the At lanta of Southern Georgia. —A majority of the farmers in Early county are making crops under the same thing as no fence, and when the time comes when the whole county must be fenced anew, a no fence law will become more popular than now. -The Savannah Avne* says: Presi dent Wadley and Suin rintendent Ro gers are expected home to-day, and a conference with the merchants' com mittee in regard to the Savannah & Charleston Kail road will at otice be held. -—The Gainesville ICn<jh\ speaking of Mount Airy, says: Considerable attention is paid to tobacco culture in this neighborhood, and several are beginning to raise it on a large scale. This is the true money crop of North ern Georgia above the cotton belt, and our fanners who will give good attention to grain and grasses can make from s‘2uo to to th<* hand clear money on tobacco besides. —Says the Monroe .tdvurlixrr: About live hundred barrels of dried fruit have been shipped from Forsyth to the Northern market s during the present season, putting about SIO,OOO into the pockets of the sellers. )Ve think, if the cloudy days will give way to the sunshine, t hat as much more will be dried and sold, Unis put ting the large sum of £2 ),0t)0 into cir culation. —The Fort Valley Mirror ha- this to say of Macon merchants: Occa sionally we notice in our exchanges some pretty heavy licks at the Savan nah merchants for tin* want of busi ness energy and enterprise. Macon merchants sell goods almost at the very portals of t in* Forest City. The main secret os their success is that they are the most liberal advertisers of any set of merchants in Georgia. Printers’ ink, like good blood, will tell. The Gumming Clarion says: Mr. Hob Hood is cultivating three acres in corn on uue of the tributaries of P.ig Creek, which Mr. W. H. Busk in torins us will make 100 bushels per acre. The land belongs to Mr. John Garrett; the soil is vegetable mold and alluvial deposit on a black miry quay which rests on perfectly white sand. The rows of (torn are three feet apart, and there is more than a stalk of . Ora for every square foot. —The Rome Courier says : We arc informed that a nejfro was killed near Kingston on Saturday night, near Mr. ltouer’s place. The negro and a son of Mr. Roper were walking along the road when a man on horseback rode up between t he two and shot tli" negro. The man then took the white boy up behind him and carried him home. It is not known whothc white man was. It seems to us that mur der is the order of the day in this sec tion. Cannot the laws be enforced and thus prevent these frequent mur ders that are disgracing this section of the country? Bop* SFounn ox Mount The body of Joiiu Blackford, an American, has recently been found in a large ice block in the neighbor hood of Mount Blanc, after several days of thaw. The unfortunate tourist tried, three years ago, to as cend Mont Blanc without a guide, and was never heard of. His features and clothes are said to be perfectly preserved. THE DAILY TIMES. WISH MOIUAUTY. Miss Morlarty was young. She was barely eighteen years of age. it was an indisputable article of faith in the barony of Irumhogue, that not the finest lady in the finest mansion or castle in the county of Kerry could hold a caudle to Miss Moriurly for beauty. She was not a fine lady, and she did not live in either mansion or cas tle. if you chanced to drop into a certain picturesque corner of the iin cieut barony any fine summer's morning an hour or two after sun rise, you would, doubtless, be aston ished at the picturesqueness of a little farm house, under the situ low of one of those many-tinted mountains which attract tourists Kerrywards from all parts. It had no special architectural pre tensions. Its only materials were stone and mud : luit it was bountifully whitewashed outside, and was sepa rated from the farm-yard by a neat, green railing, which acted as border to a small patch of flower-garden. Nestled in the snug corner, the white smoke of the turf fire curling fantas tically in the air, it always looked particularly cosy and inviting, amid tile ruggeuuess of the surrounding scenery. This was the home of the Mori artys. Lift the latch, open tliv door, and walk in. You are quite welcome. That young woman with the brown j hair hanging to her waist, darting j inisehievious glances nil round, her ' face wreathed in smiles, her line form bent over the rude churn, her arms bared above the elbows, and | her sweet, plaintive voice singing snatches from "The Pretty Girl milk- I ing Iter Cow,” or similiar ditty of the country, is Miss Mortality. Having i been baptized as Margaret, the peo pie of Innisliogue call her Peggy. If you are polite, and complain of thirst, she will give you a basin of fresh buttermilk, aboiit us refreshing a liquid as tile gods themselves could desire for their Olympian feasts. Even at Iter morning’s work Miss Morloritv looked lovely. It was Thackeray who observed in his anything but complimentary Irish Sketch-Hook, that even Irish peasant girls walked with the carriage of a princess, and Miss Moriarlty was certainly no exception to the rule. But to have a full sense of her grace and lovliuess, and winsome ways, she should be seen ill the evening, when the day’s work was done, and site sat by the turf tiro on the hearth, queen of her little domain and of all around her; for father, brothers, cousins, and neighbors loved and ad mired Peggy Moriarlty: but none so well and devotedly and hopelessly us Cornelius Sullivan. (Corney they called him in lunishogue.) Corney was the son of a neighbor ing funner, and us tine a young fel low as you might meet in a day's walk. He was the best hurlor in the barony, or indeed in any barony for miles around; and his dancing, as exhibited at the bam at the cross roads every Sunday uftern ion to the I music of poor, blind Ban Kearney’s' pipes, set tlie hearts of all the maids \ lof Innisliogue palpitating. He might ! have had any maiden in the barony, 1 I but, with the usual contrariness of , lovers, he sighed for the only girl ■ whose hand there was no chance of | his obtaining. j Already he ha i won Miss Moriar ly’s heart it. Imd been his for a ' twelvemonth and more, when, a few i years ago, one Winter’s evening, Miss Moriurly sat by the cabin lire, looking a great deal more pensive and melancholy titan befitted the proverbial merriment of the time. She was thinking of Corney, and pondering on something her father, who sat opposite, had just addressed toher. Mr. Moriurly was fond of his daughter, but lit- had no liking for the Sullivans, • ft so happened that, about twenty years before, Sul livan senior had east longing eyes on the neat little farm-house under the mountain, and that he made an offer for the lease. Tills was looked onus an unfriendly proceeding, and the two men had never since exchanged a word. Neither would walk on the same side of the road wit h the other. "Peggy, darlin’," said Mr. Morinri ty, “what's all 1 his t lie people of the barony do be Hayin' about you and Corney Sullivan?” The people Imd been simply saying j that young Corney Sullivan and Miss Moriarty would make as line a couple I as ever graced a cabin. Miss Moriarty blushed, for she I knew what had been said ; but, with I | a consciousness that she was commit ting the tiniest of fibs, replied, "Faith, I dunno, father. People will ! be talkin, and gossipin’about me, I | dare say, as well as anyone else." "Well, then, Peggy, they say that you and Coruev do be colloguin' and courtin’ up iti the chapel-loft and in | the danein’-barn on Sundays; and they talk as if you wor goin’ to bo I married at once ” replied the father. | "Is there anything between ye, Peg ! gy?” This was a plain question, requir ing a direct answer, and placed poor Miss Moriarty in an unexpected diffi culty. She might have answered by a direct negative; but that would have been an untruth, and Peggy could not do what she had never done before tell her father a direct lie. She had no mother to fly to, poor girl, for sympathy and advice. Putting her arms around her fath er's neck, she kiss" i him, and in a whisper, broken with sobs, said, “1 daresay it’s wrong, father, but- lint I'm fond of Corney : and Corney say s that that lie loves me!" The old man . -tiTer-d her totting him again, but lie made no response to iier embrace. ~ brow grew black and his chest i. •aved with excite ment, us lie placed her gently hack in her seat, lighted his pipe, leant ids hen I on Ids hands, find after a few moments’ silent cogitation, assumed an air of stolid severity which almost frightened poor Miss Moriarty out of her wits. “Well, then, Peggy, my child,” said he, “don’t let me hear any more about that! I’d rather see a child of mine in the churchyard beynnt the moun tain there, than be the wife of one of the Sullivans!” Peggy’s heart seemed suddenly to cease beating; she felt cold as a stone and her eyes filled witli tears as her father uttered these words. He could hardly look at his daughter the while. “Father, dear,"shesobbed out, half hysterically, “futher, dear! but what has poor Corney to do with the enmi ty between you and MistlierSullivan? Ob, don’t separate us that, loves one the other so!” “It must be so, Peggy, I tell ye! He never ’dressed ye before in yer life, and he mustn’t now! Peggy,, there’ll lie no more coortin’ in that chapel loft, nor in that, cross-road barn neither, utter to-nightl” And so saying lie got up and went out in the moonlight, leaving Miss Moriarty to weep over the sudden dashing of COLUMBUS, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1875. tlie eup of bliss from her maiden lips. I Miss Moriarty sat still by tlie lire I for an hour or more, sobbing without a tear, now burying her fair face in j her hands, now staring cogitutingly at the embers on the hearth. The golden dreams of her maidenhood all chased one another feverishly through her bruin during that short i hour; and when it was over, and she | stood up to do, she did not know what, about the house, sho looked, I for the moment nt least, ten years ! older in life than she really was. That very night she was going to vespers at Ihe chapel across the mountains. She might, meet Corney Sullivan on the way. At all events, sho must see him in tlie clmpol loft, which served as a choir for the hum ble place of worship. It was there that, the happiest days of her short life had been spent. It was there a flow life, full of all the deli eioueuess of newly-formed love, had been opened to her, for it was thero siie first met Corney, and learned to love him. Corney and Miss Moriarlty were the only singers in the little chapel, and regularly every Sunday it was their business to take the choral part Of the service. Their voices blended together in hymn of praise and in penitential psalm, according to the season of tlie year; and broken-heart ed ns she was, she thought that their voices must mingle, probably for the last time, that very night. The very thought that all her little dreams of bliss were to come to so sudden an end. drove her to distinc tion; and with heavy heart and oj>- ] pressed spirits sho sat, until within jan hour before vesper time. Mean while, Miss Moriurty’s Mother had come home—a strong man of about t hirty-two who looked as though he i had already settled into an irretriev able condition of old bachelorhood ami Mr. Moriarty bad already brought j out the horse for their journey to the \ mountain chapel. The way lay over j some live miles of mountain roads, | through valleys stirrounbed by pic turesque steeps, .lust now the ground was white, ami the mountains capped with the freshly-fallen snow, erystalized by the frost, and shining like a pavement, of gems in tlie moon light. Ordinarily the old man would have mounted the horse, taking his daughter up behind him; but after t he scene of the evening, he was in no mood for conversation with any one. “Maurice," said he, addressing his son, “ye’ll take the horse to-night, and have Peggy along wid you. I’ll walk and carry tlie light,” And so it was arranged. Maurice moulded tlie shaggy beast, and Miss Moriarlty clad in her cloak and hood of blue woollen stuff, took her seat behind him, keeping herself steady by clasping her brother round his waist;. The old man, bear ing a flaming torch, walked moodily and meditatively beside them. As they began the useeut of the moun [ tain road, they met other parties of | their neighbors, each led by tlie i light of a torch, hardly necessary I except when a passing cloud obscur j ed the light of tlie moon, and many were the kindly wishes exchanged i before a mile of t he picturesque jour j ney was ended. I About two miles from the chapel, ; up out of a ravine, came amitlier party. It, was composed of the Buf liva.n family. Thero was no inter change of greetings between them and the Moriurt vs, but Corney stole a glance at Miss Moriarty, and Peg gy’s eyes reddened as they passed. Slio was thinking oT tlie scene she must go through in a very little while. The eliapel of innisliogue is a very unpretentious building; four square walls of gray stone and mortar un plastered walls, without u single at tempt, at architectural adornment . Its floor is of the earth on which the edifice is built, and a few forms scattered about supply the only ac commodation fertile worshippers. In order to ascend to the choir-loft, it was necessary to pass through the vestry, and here Miss Moriarty and Forney found Father O’Donovan rolling for the coming ceremonial. ! Tile venerable old man at once saw j that Miss Moriurly was in trouble; so when Corney hud passed up to tlie choir-loft, lie took her by tiie hand, and looking at her as tenderly us if I she hud been a child of his own. ! “Peggy, my child,” said he, “what’s | troubling you to-night? You havo ; been crying, colleen, and you look j wretched now!” And then Peggy, nothing loth to have someone to look to for sympu-1 thy, told her tale of the conversation with her father, and revealed all her broken-heartedness to the good hearted priest, lie patted her on the head, and said, chcoriugly, “Don’t, despair, my girl, don’t despair. Maybe it will come right before the morning. It’s bad to have ill blood between neigh bors at tliis season and I’ll speak to i Corney myself. You have been a I good child, colleen, all yer life.” Miss Moriarty went up-stairs to the choir with a heart unburdened, and she felt quite her old self again, when, at t he most solemn purl of the j survive, she and Corney Sullivan | again blended their voices in the hymn of Adoration,their tones sound ing above the instruments -a flute, a clurionent, and a violin by which they were accompanied. There was hope in Father O’Dono* van’s words, she thought; but whut did he really mean? How did he in tend to put a stop to tho “ill blood ! between neighbors?’’ Father O’Douovau’s short and familiarly-phrased sermen soon set tled her doubts. Taking for Ids text “Peace on earth and good will among men,” he pointed out tlie unchristian character of 111 blood among neigh bors. “Ye are all singing these words every time yo cotno to chapel,” suid he; “but are there none of ye who refuse to have peace among men? Answer that question to yersolves, j Mist her Moriarty and Sullivan. Yej have boon very goood parishioners of mine, but for twenty long years yej have been enemies, an, all about nothing. It’s no uso yo coining to chapel and pruyin’ and goin’ to yer duty while ye baor malice in yer hearts. I tell ye what it is.” said ids reverence, emphatically, if yo be not friends, yo commit sacrilege every time ye coine to your duty, and are only pavin’ the way for yer own condemnation.” Botli men winced as the priest made these somewhat trenchant al- ] lusions, and the congregation started j at tlie unusual proceeding of Father Donovan: but stared approvingly, when, with rude eloquence, he called up all the sacred associations of this place, and drew from them.the moral of peace and good will. 1 Miss Moriarty secretly blessed Fa- j ther Donovan, for she knew her father’s deeply religious feelings,and felt that lie could not resist tho; priest’s pointed appeal. ! As tho congregation came out from | vespers they gathered in groups, discussing the sermoil. Sir. Moriar ty stood aioof, waiting for his daugh ter. He was surprised to soe Mr. j Sullivan, in company with Maurice, approach him. •'Well, neighbor,” said Sullivan, holding out his hand to his foo or twenty years, “will yo let tho dead rest?” After a moment’s pause, Mr. Mori arty stretched out his hand. Ho was thinking of tho misery ho had been about lo bring to his daughter, and lalteringlvlansweied, “Faith, 1 will, Sullivan : and I pray forgiveness for keenin’ it iipso long!” "Amen!" responded Maurice, and half-a-dozen voices of those who stood around. The two men shook hands, and the reconciliation was complete. Miss Moriarty and Cor noy stood at the chapel door, wit nesses ot the scene, and Corney at once flew to tlie vestry to tell Father O’Ddnovan the strango news. The venerable priest came forth and joined tlie groups outside. “Well, neighbors/’ said he, “may blessing rest, on this night’s work!” and pusbiug to the reconciled ene mies, shook each cordially by the baud. In a little time the long line of wayfarers, bearing the torches, lit up th<i mountains, us the worshippers wended homewards. Mr. Moriarty and his friend Sullivan walked to gether, anil Corney walked by the side of his beloved, with lightened heart and joyous hope. There is no Miss Moriarty lunlsho gue now. Ere another year came round she had been transformed into Mrs. Corney Buliivan; and to this very day the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Suliiavan may be heard any Sunday or holiday in the year sounding from tlie humble choir loft of the parish chapel of I unishoguo. -♦ • Tlie Houston (aunty US-rnvrnutloii Case.

Caution.—This Belt or Pad, like all articles of merit, is being imitated by parties who ary try ing to put up a worthless article, as there is not a living person, besides ourselves, that knows the ingredients iu it. We arc tho patentees, aud have our Belt protected by a Trade Mark. Bubk Cure.— ln another column will be found two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of Drs. Willson & Love’s Malarial Belts. The diffi culty in the way of usiug these belts is that they are so simple tliat few can believe that there is any virtue in them. When a patient is told to use one he is very much like Naamau when told that, to cure bis leprosy, he had only to bathe in tin- river Jordan. Hon. John E. Ward says that during his stay in China, as Minister, these belts were used with great as preventives of cholera. We know a case where a lady had been suffering with chills for more than a year, aud was finally induced to adopt one of these belts. She has not had a return of the chills Bince, aud she is fully persuaded that it 1h owing to tho belt. Dr. Willson’s terms are very fair—no cure, no pay. 4fcjrßead the ioliowing certificates: Atlanta, Ga., June 5, 1875. Messrs. Lovie A Willson: Gentlemen—ln April last I was taken sick with regular Fever aud Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had run on mo for two weeks, I was induced to try one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as directed, and my Ague became lighter each suc cessive time thereafter for some three or four times, when it lift mo entirely, with a goad appe tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever have a Chill or Agile, I would want one of your Pads, and no physic. Wisliiug everybody that may b ho unfortunate us to havo Chills and Fever may be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts, 1 am, respectfully, etc., W. J. Wilson. Atlanta, Ga., June 3, 1875, Dus. Love & Willson: On the first day of December last I was taken with Chills and Fever in Thomasville, Southwes tern Ga., and was treated for the same by three eminent physicians who were able to stop it only for a few da>B at a time. It made such inroads on my constitution that my physician pronoun ced me to be in the first stages of consumption, when I accidentally met up with Drs. Love & Will hou’h Anti-malarial Belt, which has entirely cured me. I havo bad but one chill since, and that was the first day after putting it on. lam now in as good health as 1 ever was iu my lile, and think this Belt a Gsd-send to the afflicted. J. M. Mathkws. Cannon House, Atlanta. Ga.. June 4.1876. Some nine years ago I contracted malaria iu Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at times, ever since, until 1 met up with Drs. Love A Willson’s Anti-malarial Belt some three months ago. I have worn it continually, and have had no chill since, aud find my general health, which has been poor, much imnroved. I wonld recom mend it to others suffering with malaria. R. A. Wallace. Macon, Ga., June 4, 1875.

Love k Willson, Atlanta, Ga:— Gnnti.k men—l have been a sufferer from cRUIs and fever for (19) nineteen years, and have UOTofall of tho popular remedies, but only had temporary relief until about three months since, I woe induced, by your agent. Captain W. R. White, to wear one of your "Anti-Marial Belts.” I have not had a chill since putting it on. It has enabled me Jo look alter my farming interest more closely, and ex pose myself to rain and sunshine more than for nineteen years. It has been worth to me, in feelings and absolute reunite, not less than five hundred dollar!. I cheerfully recommend it to all “shakers.” Respectfully, etc., JAMES McCBABY. Atlanta, Ga., Aitgust 7th, 1875. Dus. Love k Willson:— Dear Sirs—l have been having chills, caused from living in a malarious district, for seven years. During that timo I have taken ounces of Quinino, with which I have usually checked them for a while, but they havo invariably returned as soon as I would leave off the use of the medicine. Having taken Arse nic and Htrlchnlne, aud nearly every chill remedy I over heard of. I procured, a month since, ono of your “Anti-Malarial BeltB,” which I have worn, and during this time I have had only one chill, which was brought on by being exposed to night air aud getting wet. It lias done me more good than all the internal remedies put to gether which I have taken in tho past seven years. I am very gratefully and respectfully yours, WILLIAM CRENSHAW, Dentist. N.
