ATLANTA, Sept Z, 1872.
We are having dry, warm weather. We are
at this time hearing rumors of short cotton
crops, and of the army worm and boil worm,
and many who anticipated. heavy crops of cot
ton are now talking the other way. Indeed the
state of the New York markets gives some
foundation for the rumors, the prices ruling
high. We hope for the best. Our corn has pro-
duced bountifully and many will sell this year.
Our local markets are fairly active. Wheat
and corn are held less firmly. Oats are not in
much demand. Meats are in demand at full
prices. In the line of light produce We notice
butter in good demand. Eggs very scarce.
| Onions in demand with no stock. Potatoes have
been sent in floods from Nashville at prices
| which pay no profit to the shipper. Our de-
mand for tallow is such that we are ordering
| from New York. Apples are getting scarce.
Dried fruits are not in much demand. Prices
ruling low. Chickens in good order meet with
ready sale at fair prices.

DISTURBING PUBLIC WoRsHIP.--Ihis Is
a very grave offence and subject to severe
punishment. Under section l5ll, Statutes
of Tennessee, 1871. IAN justices of the
peace, sherifs, %coroners, and c~onstaDles,
are required to arrest Immediately any
person, in their knowledge or observation,
disturbing Il congregation assembled ior
public worship, or violating any rule or
regulation adopted by such denomination
for their W government or the pr%eserva-
ton of good order" In view OF TINS ilct
we think that fear of the law if not the
fear of God and public opinion, hould
prevent anNqisturbancc of public worship
And yet, we are requested to allude to the
disturbances of late at the Methodist
Church in Our town. Persons coligregate
in the veStibule and talk and act so rs to
disturb the congregation. The Pastor
may not be disturbed, but those at the en-
trance of the room will be, and 1t Is an
offence which demands investigation.
The fact is, people are too careless inside
Ol Illc llOusc VI pou' 1hSy SLu'y Nt'H"S''N
outside of the church in order to pass al
rat with young ladies, and rice UerSa, but
it is time we begin to study church ell
quctte. a young man. green IN matters
oflove, goes to church with his sweetheart
as green US he. Both are tangled in the
maZes of first love, childishness, or coquet-
ry, whichever you please and both are
beside themselves" They are very par
ticular to preserve personal etiquette, and
each is afraid the other may say some
thing which will not be heard. And so
at church, they whisper, and whisper st
audibly that the whole congregation Is
disturbed. One person looks around
another follows suit, and SO ON, and then
no wonder the preachers sermon is dull
and unintercsting! Now, five had room
in our paper this week, we would preach
a sermon ourself upon church etiquette
and say to every young man, or young
lady, that he or she who does not respect
the House Of God will not respect the
martial relationship, and the sooner you
give up ideas OF such relationship the bet
ter. If Il young man goes to church witt
a young lady he is bound, and she i bound
to pay strict attention. TO disturb the
congregation By any unnecessary action
or talk is not only in bad taste but is posi-
lively wrong and disreputable. Better,
far better, to not attend church at all, fol-
then you will not insult God in his own
house.
And as to boys standing at the door and
disturbing the congregational is an Of
fence provided for by law. And this Of
fence has been committed so often Of late
at the Methodist Church that steps arc
now being taken, to bring any future
transgrcssOr to punishment. We do hope
for the sake of Winchester, that there may
be no occasion. Parents, watch your boys

August LIST, 1872.

VEGErABLEs.-But for the kindness OF
our Circuit Court Clerk, 7. j.. Jackson,
who has furnished us with a lot of toma-
toes. we should have no report to make in
regard to gardening or farming, No one
has sent us n watermelon or cantelope,
nor a bushel or half bushel of good peach
es. Ten to one it was not known we were
in existence, or that the Home Journal was
published weekly, in Winchester, at the
rate OF 81 per annum, 81 for six months,
or 80 cents for Il quarter.
But Mr.. Jackson's tomatoes are the
finest we ever saw They are all neat,
Just as he is in his busir ess either private
ly or publicly, and just as he keeps hi-
books, and certainly they evidence how
rich his garden is and how carefully ne
has cultivated them. They are of the vel
low kind-the sweetest, best tomato of all
in our opinion.

CAMP-MEETING CLosED.-On last Satur-
day evening the protracted meeting at
Goshen, three miles from Winchester, was
terminated, and certainly the results are
such as must produce general satisfaction.
1t began on the 10th, as we have hereto
fore announced, and during its continu-
ance there was an interest and decorum
manifested by all present which must be
truly gratifying. About fifty conversions
there were, which testify that great good
emenates from this manner of spreading
the "Glad tidings," aside from the fact
that it reflects greatly to the credit ofthat
section of our county-a section, by the
way, which merits the praise bestowed
upon its people, They are all sober, in
dustriOus, God-tearing, and-prosperous.
There is no part of our county where the
people, as a whole, are more trustworthy
and responsible in all that makes respon-
sibility desirable. The enviable charac-
ter the people have made for themselves
their hospitality and their bountiful sup
plies ofthe comforts Of life, without money
and without price, to all who come with
in the "length of their cable-tier"-their
ability to do what they essay to 90. and
the libcrality with which they do it--all
combine to make them especially 8 fortu
nate" in spreading the Wcrd upon which
hang our hopes of immortality. Upon the
occasion referred to there was an average
attendance of about $50 or 500 people daily,
and if there was any trouble we have not
heard of it. OF the 30 conversions we
understand that 25 joined the Goshen
church, which is now, perhaps, the largest
one in the Cumberland Presbyterian
branch OF christianity. 1t numbers about
300 members, and claims an existence OF
sixty years. Yet it is a country church,
and in proportion to the number of i'll
habitants embraced within its periphery
is certainly the most successful one. Rev.
w. b. Watterson is the Pastor in charge,
and on this occasion was assisted by
Revds. Mr.. Templeton. Murfreesboro; ),
L.Payne, T%ullahoma; James Campbell,
Winchester; and visiting brethren oil
other denominations, among whom was
Rev. Henry Hainsworth, of the NJ. e
Church in this place.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen OF
Murfreesboro have passed Il hog law IN
thing like the one we voted to not have in
Winchester, and the editor of the News
thinks (and sensibly, too. that the city
authorities have made a mistake. He
says:
"Instead of running at large of hogs.
the law should have embraced dogs and
cattle. The hogs act as Il scavenger force
(about the only one We have now.) and are
n great help as street cleaners III this time
of watermelon rinds and filth, while the
dogs. to the number OF something less than
a million worthless ours, are of no manner
account, and the cattle on the streets are a
nuisance. and the owners should be re-
quired to take care Of and house and shell
ter them. and keep them of the streets"

From COWan.

Our good friend. A. j. H., Of Cowan, has
manifested the proper spirit. He sends u
Il briet synopsiSof news about Cowan, but
his letter comes to hand just one day too
late. ("Jack," You must observe better
time hereafter. Let Il: hear from yolon
Mondays.) The principal item OF news
he gives is the case of an old negro man
named Laborn Keith, living upon Mr..
JeM Miller's plantation, and who was bit
ten several times last Sunday by his own
dog. The dog was mad, and it is to be
feared that the bites of tIc dog will result
seriously.
