Last year Virginia realized S2s0,OOO. Dc

ginia which would give Missouri Sf,l44,OOO,

There seems to be u strong likelihood now
that many Of the misguided negroes who
have recently omigreted from the South viii
sooner or later retrace their steps. or such q
them at least as nave the means TO do so.
The more intelligent among them have not
been slow to see, that whstevor their real or

Louisiana and Mississippi; tho change has
heen in the nature Of leap from the frying

ltims Of a gross deception, for which some
body should be held severely responsible
AT any rate, 1t is not probable that the eKO-

satisfactory results OF tho LABOR Conveptlon

there is carried out, as there Is no doubt il
will be, in honest, practical efforts TO anchor

improve the system of labor at the South, the

THE SANDY SPRINGS CAM
MEETING.
Excursion Trains.
Comments Of the Press.

From the Abbcylle Press and Banner
Last Sunday the GccenviIc and Colum-
ba R,ilroad ran excursion trains from
Grcenville, Walhalla, Abhcville, and Co
lumbio, ond intermediate stations, to the
camp meeting which was being held at
Sandy Springs, ten miles above Anderson
Court House. About one hundred tickets
were sold ut Abbevilic. At Hodges the
Abtcville train was met by the Columbia
train, which was crowded, and the numbers
wcro increased at every station until the
destination was reached. The trai q from
this end of tho road when it reached the
camp ground consisted Of eleven coaches,
which were filled to a jam. The day had
little the appearance of being the Sabbath.
AS q soldier during the war, and rs citi-
zen during the campaign Of 1876, We have
seen somc pretty rongh crowds, but we
think the crowd on Sunday was equal to
anything that we have ever seen. A num-
bcr of the oxcursiopists had procured bot
ties Of whiskcy for tho occasion, and Us the
liquor hogan to have the expected effect
the Legitimate results followed Desiring
to sec some relatives at Honca Path, we got
off the train at that point, but we learn that
the conduct of some Of the parties on the
camp ground was reprehcnsible in tho high
est degree. Along the route as the trujn
neared Sandy Springs it became noisy.
Although ladies were on the cars tho LAM
guags indulged in by some of the men was
profane and obscene, and their conduct was
otherwise disgusting. 1t is snid that somo
one on the traia shot at some negroes stand
ing by the road Us the train passed All
sense of propricty and decency was offended
by the IMPROPER treatment the negro women
received 90 the train, while the very ali
was polluted with tobacco, whiskcy and
coarse language. On the grounds Hithin Il
short distance of tho stand much disorder
loud talk, firing Of pistols, &c, aro reported
to have taken place At the railroad where
the train was unoadcd is crossing for
vehicles. A large crowd waiting for the
departure of the train were standing there
Gus boys stopped pnsscrs by, cutting the
haruess Of their horses, taking hpld o.
buggy wheels, or making other Interrupt
tioDs. Degro man with white vito said
to be from Elbert County. Georgia, was
thore. The boys took hold of them
knocked their heads together, cuffcd aue
beat the negro until he was promo on tbt
ground. Afterwards regaiDing his feet hi
ran off, and was shot at as he went. Ii
the above we refer to the conduct of oon-
psratively few persons. The great major
ity of those present were quiet, decent unt
we'll behaved, but there were enough o
uncomfortable spirits to desecrate the day
and to bring reproach upon tho crowd.

Dogs VS.. Sheep.

Sheep killing dogs are again be-
coming plenty, and are nightly on
the rampage in the neighborhood
of Aspen Hill, where they have been
playing sad havoc with the feecy
docks the farmers have been i'm
proving by valuable crosses. Under
the protection which has been de-
MED to the sheep, the dogs have
been growing in strength and mum
bers, the plantations are becoming
noisy with the yelps of worthless
ours, and the lovers of fine sheep
may make up their minds TO yield
this source of profit and pleasure,
Popular clamor has pronounced
against their protection by law,
and the voice of the voter must be
obeyed.
But in this poverty stricken age,
it is hard on the farmer whose
profits are hardly earned, and whose
labor scarcely yields him and his
little ones a needed support. He
needs every help, as indeed every
form of rural husbandry in our
State needs every encouragement
it can get. The man whose only
capital is his muscle has an interest
in promoting the general prosperity
and is profited by whatever secures
cheap food and cheap clothing, by
whatever, indeed, adds to the profits
of honest labor; and surely preju
dice which dooms so important and
valuable branch of husbandry &c
destruction should be sacrificed fol
the public good, and honest repre-
sentatives VINO can rise above purely
personal considerations ought to 6t
in demand.

We clip the following from the
Pulaski correspondence of the Nash.
vile Banner. We can't imagine
though who that handsome widow
and widower are;
The air is rite hereabouts with
rumors of matrimonial alliance be-
tween a handsome widow and an
equally handsome widower. The
editor of the Banner is well ac-
quaInted with the widower. Said
widower has met Macbeth in his
life who said, "Throw Physic to the
dogs; I'll none of it." When the
facts are fully known the wise ones
will step back and admit that the
old Esculapian stole a march on
them.

wall of sorrow is never sounded that

revealed him to me not only as a
model Christian gentleman and one
of the most genial, charitable and
hospitable men alive, but learned
to bow in profoundest wonder and
admiration at the shrine of the
greatest inventive genius of the CEN
fury. This 1 verify believe and
time will shortly demonstrate it.
Not only fame awaits him, but I'm
mense fortunes will follow in his
wake and fall to men who secure in
terests in his inventions. Mr..
Cayce's work shops present an
opening for men of capital more
certain and rich than the Nevada
Bonanzas, and it is now just at the
time of revealment, when fame will
crown his genius and fortune food
his Golfer. No man will more richly
deserve it or more charitably dis
pense it. l feel it to be a privilege
to be an instrument in his praise,
and l deem 1t duty you and 1 and
his people owe him and his fellows
to assist him in his great work for
the world. L. D. NJ.

Bunker Hill.

Brother r. w. Officer met with
the congregation of disciples at
Bunker Hill on Wednesday night
of 18th inst; preached to them on
the great necessity OF Christian I'M
ion. On Thursday night the neces-
sity of obeying God in all things,
and the danger of exalting one com
mand above another. Friday, the
necessity of penitent believers obey
ing in baptism. Friday night, the
power of the word of God, and the
all sufficiency in order to perfect
the man of God. Saturday, bap-
tism of the Holy Spirit; witness, of
fee, fruits and comforts of the Holy
Spirit, etc. We think that Bros.
Officer and Dixon will perhaps
preach for us next year. We are
making an effort to build a church
at or near this place. With the
start that we have made and the
assistance promised us from our
neighbors we will be amply able to
build a good house this fall.

From Lawrenceburg.

Yesterday afternoon the many
friends and acquaintance of Mrs.
Joseph Parks assembled to pay the
last sad tribute to her remains. Sell
dom is circle of bereaved friends
called to mourn the loss of so many
ennobling traits and endearing vir-
tues as those that marked her char
acter. The longest procession that
was ever seen in Lawrenceburg fol-
lowed her remains to the Cemetery,
and as the beautiful casket, which
seemed by its elegance to seek to
rob even the grave of its horrors,
was tenderly lifted from the hearse
1 noticed handsome floral cross,
wreath and bouquet decorated it.
These mute offerings and elegant
decorations spoke volumes of the
affectionate regard which she was
held by the multitude of friends
and relations, When the Rev. Mr..
True of the M. +. Church appeared
to officiate in the last act, the hard
est heart was moved and every
voice was hushed. He began the
solemn services by reading from
the 18th chapter of LIST Corinthians,
where we find the most comforting
teachings of Christianity and the
resurrection of the dead. In the
beautiful and significant symbolism
Of st. Paul it is lIkened to a grain
of wheat. He tells US, "That which
thou sowest is not quickened, ex-
cept it die" With Christians like
Mrs. Parks death means not annihi-
lation, but change from this to a
better world. AS life implies death,
death implies resurrection. What
is the coming of spring but nature
bursting the bondage of the gravei
The beautiful flowers that decora-
ted her casket, what are they if not
types of the resurrection? The
beast of the forest may have crushed
the seed in the earth, but the Cloud
and the sunshine, the dew of heaven
and the whispering breezes were its
nurses, and we behold the miracle
of nature, the second life, the flower
blooming upon the stalk. Mrs. p.
was the mother of Mr.. VIM. Parks
of this place and Joe and Leonard
Parks of Nashville, three of the
most excellent gentlemen IN the
State. She was the grandmother
of Mrs. w. A. Gilmore Of Pulaski.
Since the election everything has
auieted down. The opponents of
the 5O4 are happy, and we who adj
vocated the measure feel like the
little fellow that the calf run over.
We have no harsh words Of rebuke
or censure for those who come un
der the former head, although we
think they have "set us bach" a
little further under that dark and
frowning cloud of Reputation, from
the yawnfng depths of which their
leaders, with all their wisdom, fail
to show us any way of escape.
We are all looking forward and
hoping that we may soon have a
railroad. Mr. Henry Nixon, the
Secretary, tells me that he has
money enough already subscribed
in Maury to build it from Columbia
to the county line, and should il
ever run to this place the people
have only one man TO thank, fol
without his energy and laborioui
exertions there would be road laiC
and the cars running to the moor

L AIDES TRIMMED Hats at Cost to

We enjoyed an interesting inter
view with a friend the other day,
brought about by his most excellent
wife. She had told him there could
be no Republication sentiment or
practice permitted in her household,
and that unless he paid for the CIT
IzEN speedily she knew the time
was out he would have to hunt an
other boarding house. He was as
meek as a lamb and out of breath
when we saw him a few minutes
later, and paid US the lastIdollar he
had in the world. He couldn't af
ford to dlsplease her. If 1t had
been blackberry time he might have
been more independent 1t is beau
tiful to behold such devotion as his,
but it is not at all surprising, for
like Mrs. Bill Arp she's got sense
as is sense. She takes such good
care of him and is so tender and
careful, and makes such good hash,
which latter makes him SO stalwart
and muscular and enables him sc
ably to I'LL the position he holds Of

all the beaux are smiling. No one
who ever met her can be insensible
to the great charm OF her loneliness,
and hers is not oaly statuesque
beauty, for she has added mental
qualities and accomplishments that
make aer at once the most genial
and fascinating lady ever met. In
fact, she is one of the worlds orna-
ments. When 1 said all the beaux
are smiling, 1 forgot that Madam

got years; Dave Crawford stole a

Six weeks at Cayce's did not pre-

Six weeks at Cayce's did not pre-
pare as for the affectionate EN-
braces of welcome lavished upon us
at our return. We hoped to get so
fat that our friends couldn't hug
around us one at a time, but they
took it in platoons and joined hands
and had grand walk around. We
tried to reoccupy the editorial chair,
but couldn't squeeze in, and we
write now sitting on a W box.
What kind of water is Cayce's?
Bless you, friend, come and look at
US. We left here looking like a
drummer for hash house that fed
on lightning rods, and now our jaws
hang down like stuffed saddle bags
and our bosom heaves with extra
ordinary size and groanings that
cannot be uttered, and we look
as if we were carrying out a
feather bed to sun. Our appetite
is a yawning, gasping, Unsuitable
gulf, and we have to employ a ne
gro with a wheelbarrow to load us
up. If you don't believe this, go
ask DIR. Keeling, who looks like the
gable end of two story lard stand;
or Capt. Arrowsmith, who puffs and
wheezes and blows through his fat
jaws like the wind soughing under
a barn door; or Mr.. Osborn, who
looks as if he could break the
Grand Union at Saratoga with his
appetite; or Ed Flautt, who wore
his teeth off even and had to be car
ried from the table three times a
day on a stretcher; or any of the
several ladies who ate as if they
thought Mr.. Cayce was awful rich.
Seriously, Cayce's is the most de-
ligntfui place we ever visited, and
thai is the universal opinion. Its
natural advantages are so great that
with the Improvements now in con-
temptation for next year Cayce's
will be the resort of Middle Tennes
see. We have seen no one return
without benefit who stayed any
length of time, and we saw none
leave there to hunt for pleasure.
1t fills the measure of our wants
exactly. Mr.. Cayce is as good a
man as lives, affable to a fault, and
obliging to a degree that forgets
self and makes his guests love him.
He placed us under obligations
that cannot be forgotten in life
time.
