No Cobb county farmer would
think il very curious thing if a
lawyer or a doctor who did not
study failed to succeed; yet the i'm
mense majority of farmers do not
study. They give as reason why
they do not take some paper deyo-
ted TO their profession, that they
have no time to read, They should
take time to read, and would find
time so spent to be most judiciously
invested.

Death of Mrs. Emma Frazier.

At conference of the Baptist
Church at Powder Springs on the
18th inst, Mr.. A. G. Mcintosh in
troduced the following preamble and
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted by the church +:
Since our last conference the an
gel of death has not been unmindful
of his mission. Our worthy and
much beloved sister, Emma Frazier
has been called from the hardships
and troubles Of earth, as we humbly
hope and trust, to the glories of
heaven. A good and true compan-
ion; a kind, affectionate and loving
mother has passed away. Her
earthly record is closed, and her &c.
count is now with her God. Let us
as Christian church drop a tear to
her memory and commend her sur
viving family to the care of the God
of all mercy and Oliver of all good.
So one by one like leaves in autumn
the virtuous and the good pass
away.
We shall forever hereafter misc
her familiar face in our meetings.
We shall receive the cordial grasp
of her friendly hand no more. Soon
we too will pass away; soon, ah +!
how soon shall the places which
know us now, know us no more for
ever. Then how important it is, to
each and all Of us that we should
heed the admonition and be pre-
pared for that great change, when
all the pleasures of this world shall
cease to delight, and the happy re-
Election, consequent upon a well
spent life, shall yield the only com
fort and consolation. This sister
died on the llth inst, at s o'clock,
A. NJ, aged "a years.
Resolved, That the above pre&m-
bic be recorded upon the church
book, and copy sent to the bereav~
ed family also one to the Marietta
Journal for publication.

Among the events of the past week that which in
financial and commercial circles is perhaps regarded
as of greatest importance has been the unusually
sharp advance in the premium ON gold. sui there
has never been time probably since gold has COM
manded premium. when It's rate was OF so HttIe
commercial Importance or consequence as the pres

nnortance hut the causes which lead TO its advance
or decline We notice in certain quarters dispo-

prIce of gold 10 q clique manipulation which has
heen aided by fortutOus circumstances. But 1t
wonld hardly be safe to attribute the movement
altogether to the action of the gold clique.
Having believed that there were good and sufficient
natural causes TO which attention has too often
been called in this journal to require repetition for
an advance the premium. IS does not seem neces-
sary to examine the artificial speculative causes.
which may make fluctuations IN the market but DO
not control its actual tendency. 1t must be reason
ably PLAN 70 every rejecting mind that under our
present system, or lack Of system. OF finance and
currency gold IL simply article of merchandise
like wheat cotton, corn pork, petroleum. or any OF
our many articles Of production and export; and 1t
40 happens lust at this time that II is
the one article which Is most wanted abroad
80 that us prce has as little effect upon the
prices OF other commodities as does the price of
iron. The idea has been quite generaHy expressed
that higher gold would necessarily stimulate botn
the prices and foreign shipments OF produce and
gr,in and 10 il undoubtedly would were those ar
tice, really wanted abroad but Just now 1t Is gold
