Messrs. B. M. & C. C, Harlan are

as nothing is ever misrepresented there
is no danger of ever having an inferior
or shoddy article palmed oft as first-class.
Their spring stock is unusually attract#

We take pleasure in directing the
reader’s attention to the advertisement
of the Atlanta Constitution. The Co
nstitution, always able, vigorous and re
liable, is a paper which no well regula
ted family can afford to be witho it.
Published at the Capital and the only
daily Atlanta now has, containing a
complete compendium of the news as it
transpires acd a full discussion of all
public questions of interest, it has a
claim upon every Geo-gian that, no oth
er daily can boast of. Under its present
management the Constitution is a bet
ter paper than ever, and every depart
ment is managed with an eye to satisfy
the reading public. Its editorials are
always unexceptional, and with Harris
to do the State in his read}*, terse and
entertaining style, the fullness of the
telegraphic dispatches, and its new ag*
ricultural department by Malcolm John
son, Esq., what more could be asked for
by those who are in search of a good
uuilv paper ?
Another startling tragedy has ju t
been enacted in this county. Oa last
Wednesday “Bud” Powell went to
Yarbrough’s mi'l on Pine Log creek,
and inquired for Mr. James Watts, one
of his neighbors, who he had. learned
had that morning gone there to have
some grinding done. On learning that
he had left bis grain and had gone
down the road a few miles, he awaited
his return. Mr. Yarbrough knowing
of nothing between them, but suspic
ious of his manner, asked what he
wished with the old gentleman. He re
plied “lie wanted to take him down.”
Mr. Watts presently returned and as
Powell immediately gave no signs of
demonstration, Mr. Yarbrough forgot
for an instant his late remark, and
shouldered a sack of grain and started
to carry it to the upper story. Mr.
Watts also stooped down for a sack.
Yarbrough heard something fall behind
him, and looked around, when to his
horror and consternation Watts lay up
; on the floor—his head a ghastly spec.
; facie of blood, and Powell stood over
him with a wagon sipgletree in his
hand, with which he had struck the
old roan, choosing his most favorable
opportunity. Powell at once made his
escape. Watts lingered until Thurs
day evening, when, we have since
learned he died. To the people of the
neighborhood the cause of Powell’s ra-h
act is merely surmise and it is generally
pronounced a bold act of murder with
out a just cause. It is kno vn, however,
that there had been some transactions
between Powell’s father and Mr. Watts
which led to a little law-suit, and Watts
having a judgment against Mr. Powell,
who took advantage of the homestead,
he garni dreed Young Powell, whe was
owing his father. Misunderstandings
which may have grown out of these lit
tle financial differences is the only cause
which can be assigned for the act.
Powell, it is reported, has been seen
since the deed was done in the western
part of the county, with three pistols
belted to him, and was supposed to be
making his way to eastern Alabama,
where his father in-law is living.

RES.nCA RIPPLES.
Resaca, Ga., March 29, 1877.
Dear Times :
The jumping elub is still exercising,
and the excitement ran high last Sat
urday. Several of ihe boys came into
town with their minds made up to beat
our champion, and so they did, and he
shelled down the corn on the standing
jump—much to the satisfaction of most
of the members present. 1 hev thought
they had him hacked badly, but when
it came to a running jump he came out
ahead by about twelve inches. Try it
again, boys, for “Bob” claims the cham
pionship of the club yet, he had rather
jump than to sell goods these hard
times.
A certain Resaca man now believes
in the Hardshell doctrine—that what is
to be will be, if it never come 9. He
says it was intended tint he should try
the depth of the Oostanaula. He does
not stand on a raft and cut the lou
loose that he is standing on any more.
He was like the man who cut the limb
off between himself and the tree, and
great was the fall.
What Resaca man was it went to
Calhoun sometime ago and beat Ligb.
tower out of his hotel bill ? Coum,
that won’t do Rr Resaca.
Master Sara Barnett should-red his
gun one morning last, week, and went
to the turkey woods—was gone hut a
short time —when he came back with a
large wild turk y, saying he had killed
it at one shoot, but there was
three shots heard that morning, and a
report from over the river says that he
paid Seventy-five cents for the bird.—
Sam, get Jerry in better training next
time.
Young men of Resaca, why not or
ganic a debating society here, and not
go so far. Have pu die debates. Our
citizens will turn out. especially the
young ladies, for they have a Star to
go by and a Fink to carry with them.
Our Council would do well to pas a
law to stop those bad boys from meet
ing at the Presbyterian church on Sun
days to play ball, throw rocks and dis.
turb the citizens who live near the
church, or is it the dut. of the school
teacher ? for lam told it is hoys who
are going to school to him. Someone
should attend to aud have this meeting
place broken up. It is very wrong.
The-e is a young fellow who cannot
take au active part in the marble elub
this summer, for he is studying law,
or has been, he had his first case last
Wednesday, before Judge Barnett’s
Court. He says Resaca has loug need
ed a 'awyer, and now he is ready to
practice, but he would not make the
opening speech in his first case, be
cause he had to fight Calhoun’s best at
torney. lie will soon get over that.—
He is young and bashful now. It might
have been that "Tie thought he an

Views of Col. J A \V. Johnson—
Why He Favors a ConVe tion
Some of the Changes Necessary
in our Laws..
Learning on Tuesday that Col. J. A
W. Johnson, of Whitfield, was in our
town, and knowing that the people are
anxious to hear discussions upon the
Convention question, ami that his
views upon public matters are always
of importance, we hunted him up for
the purpose of getting Lis ideas. The
Colonel seemed at first reluctant to give
us much sa.isfactiori upon the subject
but we finally succeeded in drawing him
into a conversation.
Well, Col., said we, what do the peo
ple think of a Convention in Whitfield
county ?
Col. J.—l have been rfc home only of
Sundays for four or five weeks, and hav
ing heard but little said on the sub
ject, I am unable to answer your ques
tion ?
Do you favor a Convention ?
Col. J.—l am decidedly in favor of a
Convention. Until within the last
eighteen months I was opposed to a
Convention, believing that the Legisla
ture would make all necessary amend,
uients and at less cost than a Conven
tion. The cry all over the State for
several vears has been Retrenchment
and Deform. At the opening of the
Legislature for several sessions back,
retrenchment has been the motto ot
four-filths of our Representatives. But
what has been accomplished iu this di
rection ? Literally nothing. Yes, l
believe the last Legislature did succeed
in making a slight reduction of J. P.’s
and L. O.’s costs, aud in a few counties
reduced the per diem of jurors. Alt
ready, more money has been spent in
failures to amend the Constitution by
legislative enactments than a Conven
tion will cost. This will be repeated
annually until a Convention is held, and
anew Constitution framed. I believe
a majority of the people of Georgia are j
irreconcilably opposed to the present
Constitution as a whole, more on ac
count of how and who made it than its
provisions. Hence, when an effort is
made to make a needful amendment, it
is voted down This lenient of oppo
sition, added to another element, that
wishes no change, will- always defeat
an amendment Hence, my original
opposition to a Convention has given
way, and feeling that there are many
changes necessary to be unde, and that
a Convention is the only h pe to get
t e desired amendments, I am now
stronger iu favor of a Convention than
I was originally opposed to it.
Are we not pecuniarily in a poor con
dition to foot the expense of a Conven
tion? Do \ou n, t think that tne ex
p- nse will cause many to oppose the
Con vent ion ?
Col. J.— There is not a well informed
man in the State that will vote against
the Convention on account of the ex
pense of holding it There will be
men in every county, who are oprosed
to the Convention, who will use the ex*
pense argument on the uninformed. —
There is not a well informed voter in
the State, but knows any convent; on of
average men Will be a great saving to
the State. This i*. really an opportune
time to hold a Convention ; money is
exceedingly scarce —the whole people
feel the scarcity of money, and feel
deeply the necessity of retrenchment
and reform. Our delegates will go to
the Convention deeply impre-sed with
the solemn duty, in framing our funda
mental law, to see to it, that retrench
ment and reform shall be a marked
feature of the new Constitution. There
is no good reason why a Convention
should cost more than 820,000 or §25,-
000, at most. Though I have heard of
two men in my county, who say ’t will
cost at least $200,000, and likely reach
$500,000, These two men are opposed
to a Convention, and their reasons a r e
well understood, and known to be sel
fish. These men know better, but will
likelv mislead some honest men to yote
against a Convention.
Ycu speak of amendments to the
Constitution, will you favor us with
some at h ast of the amendments you
think ought to be mode?
Col. J—l hard'y have time to fully
ans er this question, but l will give a
few of the leading changes, which now
occur to me. One *>f the first is, in my :
opinion there is m> necessity fix annual !
sessions—once in wo years will an !
. 1
swer every purp' -e of needful legisla.- ;
tion. This one item will save every al- i
ternate year three or four times the
cost of a Convention Hence, I assert,
a Convention will save multiplied thou
sands yearly to the State. f Fhe ses
sion? ought to be confined to 40 days,
and the per diem not more than §5.00
When the session is prolonged, let
there be no per diem f r the exlttrslon.
You will then see, that our members
will not tie there throwing away their j
time, and spending the people’s money
for two or thiet w r -eks before they get
i down to their Work Wc h ive too
much legislation. It di.n’t make so
much difference what Code of laws we
have, if the pe >p!e generally are satis
lit*J. and the c-de is lei 1 . ihe
! homestead and exemption are too large.
The rieh *uan don’t need it, the credit
!of the Door is destroyed by it. Yon
| can rarely find a uian who would have
a Constable’s pi see who can.give the
bond required ; the homestead atd ex
emption are the cause of it. Some
where from 8500 to 8/50 will be am
ple; permitting the applicant to claim
it all in land, all in personal property,
or mixed. This is all the poor ran
safely ask. and save a little credit. The
clerical expense ever since the war du
ring our legislative sessions has been ju
outrage on the tax payers of Georgia.
I can easily pick ten men, and do the
entire clerical work of both Houses,
with the additional outlay of cot more
than 8500 for extra help, during the
last, eight or ten days of a session For
forty days this would mak e 84.500 at
810 per day. Now add 8500 to the
man taking the contract, rnd you only
have 85.000, less than one-fourth the
clerical expense last wit ter. This cal'
culation i9 based on 810 per day to
each ofter clerks, when in point of
fact, any number of competent clerks
can be had at from 85 to 87 per day.
I feel confident a competent man can
Jake the contract at 85.000, and clear
not less than 81,500 in the forty days
The Constitution should pui a total
stop to this everlasting special and local
legislation. What, is a good jury law
and County Commissioner's law for
Gordon county, is a good law for Whit
field county. The Governor's patron
age should be abridged. This would
please none of our citizens more than
our Governors For one I am willing
to tnx.it the people —give them a fair
chance and they will do right It is
easier to influence one man, or a small
body of men, than the masses. I think
our Senators should be elected ever l
two ye.rs, as our Representatives are '
Let Senators and Representatives go :
fresh from the people. I think the I
terms of the Judges of the Superior |
Courts are too long. These are some of ’
the changes which now occur to me, '
that ought fo be made in our nda- j
mental law.
I have heard your nant • spoken of as !
a candidate for the Convention, is the I
report well founded ?
Col J. lam not a candidate, and ‘
don’t know that I will be. It is not a<
very desirable place. There is certain* j
!y no money in it There is no good |
reason whv the Convention should last
more than from 10 to 15 days. The
delegates will not vote theuisrives more
than the per diem fixed for members of j
the Legislature. I ceitaOily will rut
go into a scramble race for a seat in
the Convention. My opinion is, the
people ought to call out men capable to
frame fundamental laws, and elect
them. There is no politics in the can
vass— none but patriots should b call
ed on I have been solicited to become
a candidate by many of the leading cit
izens of three counties composing the
43d Senatorial District. Now, having
answered your questions frankly, I will
ask you one. Who will likely be a can
didate from Gordon county ?
The question has not been canvass
ed a great deal, but think Col, J. C
Fain will be a candidate, it he will
yield to the wishes of very many of the
best citizens of Gordon county. How
do you think he wdl run in Whitfield
and Murray counties?
Col. J—l am satisfied he is the
strongest man in Whit field and Murray
that Gordon can present. I predict, if
he runs, he will lead the entire delega
tion in the district.
As the 43d Senatorial District is en
titled to four delegites, and there are
but three counties, how do you think
the ‘'elegates should be apportion
ed?
Col. J.— One of the three counties
aight furnish all the delegates, but this
would not, and ought not, to give sat
isfaction Fbe census of 1870 ought
to be referred to, and as we have one
delegate uiop than counties, the largest
emnty should have two. and each of
the others one. Gy looking to the
census, you will see Whitfield cou itv
has between ten and eleven thousand
people : Gordon has between uiue and
ten thousand people, and Murray has
six thousand five hundred people.—
This gives Whitfield a superior claim
to the odd delegate, and l presume tin
other counties will concede this. Per
sonally, it is a matter of indifference to
me, so we get good men as delegates
rneu of ability and patriotism.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and the concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Intermittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or mineral, and those who take it are free
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that ithas gained the reputation of beiuginfal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derangc
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Ayeu’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents are
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Biver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
