Two of Gov. Crown" sons, Charlie and Elisha, are now at their fathe.’s excellent farm in this county, making practical observations in agriculture, mid are likely to choose that as a call ing. They are industrious young men, and success is a certainty with them in whatever they undertake. It will bese n n by advertisement else where tint Mersrs L. Hills & Cos., of Resaca, are wanting logs, for which they propose to pay cash. Those who are handy to their mill and have logs to dispose of will do well to carry them there at once. These gentlemen also announce that they are read} to supply the public with lumber, shingles, lat hes, etc. The publication of Bridges Smith’s Paper has been moved from Atlanta to Macon. Bridges has used zealous ex ertions to make his little enterprise a fixture and a success, and the sparkling humor pressed into its columns is last giving it an introduction to a large class of readers, and we only trust that the change in its location will give it a better backkone financially, the best requisite to journalistic prosperity. Messrs. B. M. & C. C, Harlan are before our readers again this week with their clever announcements that they are still on hand with bargains for the public. Their store will continue to be the popular institution it is so long as customers can secure goods at such rea sonable figures as those at which those gentlemen are soiling their stock. In their establishment goods are always neatly displayed, and their stock at all times embraces the latest novelties, and 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# ive and the advantages to be gained in making purchases of them will bear a fair test at any time. These gentles men, since the opening of their store, have certainly displayed enterprise and a business judgment in meeting the wants of this section that entitles them lullv to the success they will surely at tain iu due time. We ask the public when wanting superior goods at the very lowest prices they can be afforded, to c;dl (,n tlu Messrs UaCun, and we guarantee: fairness and satisfaction.

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.

He left home on his mule at sun-up saying, “mother, I will be b >ck soon,” and rode off to a neighbor’s about a mile away. Before he got there it is supposed he fell from his mule in a fit, for Mr. Dodd found him shortly after wards dead in the road, with his mule standing over his dead body. Those who witnessed the sight said the mule looked like he was guarding over his master and keeping watch until help could come.

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 easy case this time that he did not j speak. He will yet nish the na j fives He is saving his be t licks to !■ hurl at those fellows who got the ■ cheese. Respectfully, Moses. TISE COASTITI TIOSAL CON VEX 1 IO A. 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. - This world appears very beautiful when you are wei! ; to remain well, healthy and strong, take Dr, J.

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.
