WEATHER AND FARM NoTEs We
have but little variation to note in the
weather, the past week being repeti-
tion of the prevailing seasons of month
past. We had a pretty heavy rain on
last Sunday, followed BY cool weather
with light frosts on Monday aud Tues
day mornings, aud rain again on We'd
nesday. The interruption to farm work
was but slight, and many planters con-
tinued breaking land after the showers.
Corn planting has been general, and we
do not think that the weather has been
cold enough to injare the seed in the
ground. Ii the seasons continue favo-
rable, cotton will be planted early also,
aud If the year continues propItious we
confidently expect large crops in ST.
Landry in the fall. The present year
is hard one, and will take the most
rigid economy to pass through it, yet
its severe experiences may prove Of ul-
innate benefit to all classes of our citi.
Gems.

EPIDEMIC AMONG cATrLE-From all

EPIDEMIC AMONG CATTLE.-From all
portions of the prairies of our parish
come reports Of great mortality among
horned cattle. It cannot be that they
die from starvation, because milch cows
that have been well fed all winter are
equally subject to the scourge, and die
in few hours after they are attacked
by the disease The Hon. E. I. Lewis,
near town, has lost about a dozen fine
mich cows Mr. Aiphonse Lastrapes,
has lost seven or eight head, and Capt:
Blanks has lost fifteen or twenty These
were all gentle stock aud were we'll fed
all winter. Further out in the prairies
the death rate has been greater, yet
even among the unfed range stock,
there is no apparent reason for this
great fatality, because there has been
some green grass all winter.
This Is great misfortune to our peo-
pie, because horned cattle have already
become very scarce, and when the
young grass of spring comes out, we
may expect to lose great many more
of them from "scours" caused by eating
this grass, and from the enfeebled con-
dition of the animals resulting from the
wintry weather and the want of good,
nourishing food.

KIND WORDS.

Mr.. EDIToR-I have been a reader of your
paper some weeks, and am constrained by
a sense of justice to congratulate Marietta
on having such neatly printed, well edited
and morally clean paper. 1t is refreshing
in these fast days to find paper that ex-
cludes from its columns the scandals that
are spread broad cast by the daily papers.
When there is so much that is eleyating and
interesting suitable for publication, it is sur
prlsing that some newspapers will select that
which is reeking with filth as a detachable
feast to spread before their readers. A pub
lie gazette should be as decent in matter as
as a gentleman should be decent in man
ner and neither should be admitted to the
family circle if deficient in this par
tcular. In this respect we find the jour
NAL pure in tone and elevated in character.
As a local paper it fills its place as efficient
ly as any paper within my knowledge. l
am sure Marietta should feel proud of such
a paper and give it liberal support
A VISITOR.
We feel grateful for the above encourag-
ing words. Our aim shall be to make the
paper deserving of the good opinion of all
Gifts readers.

PREPARING For OUR GUESTS.

The County Association Committee which
convened at DR.. G. Tennent's residence on
the third Saturday in April, appointed
committee of arrangements, consisting of
one member from each club, to deter
mine on a plan for entertaining the dele

j. II. Murray.W r. Power
s. r. McCleskey, Esq, was called to the
chair A statement was made by Mr.. Pow
er in behalf of the council and city of Mari
eta, that the city was able and willing to
entertain the whole convention, if necessary.
That the city regarded the expected dele
gates as their guests and were bound to ex-
tend their hospitality, fully and freely, and
demanded an equal share with the country
in looking to their welfare. That the coun-
ty clubs could of course entertain as many
as they liked, but they need put themselves
to no unnecessary trouble to do this, as the
city pledged itself to all that was necessary.
Mr. Powers remarks were received with
was determined that each District club
should be carefully canvassed by its officers
to determine how many delegates it would
house and entertain, and Messrs. Powers
and Murray were requested to canvass the
city, street by street and announce by COM

County Society at its June meeting, precise

THE MEMMLER-KERR CASE.

The important Injunction case and con
test over the appointment of permanent
receiver in suit of R. c. and Eliza Kerr VS..
f. VIM. Memmler and j. W. Pritchett was
heard in Canton before Judge Brown on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week. The coAplainants were represented
by Col. John A. Wimpy, of Atlanta, Gener-
al VIM. Phillips, of Marietta, George r..
Brown, Esq of Canton and Judge DAILY, of
Brooklyn, N. Y. The respondents Memm-
Ter and Pritchett were represented by Messrs.
Will j. VIM, Clay & Blair, and R. n. Hol-
land, of Marietta, and E. d. Graham, of
Gainesville The bill Of compliments con
tanned some twenty eight or thirty distinct
allegations. This was met by an answer of
fifty pages from respondents. Respondents
then supported their answer by a large
amount oftestimony from disinterested par
ties tending to prove that there was no ne
cessity for appointing receiver After a
fierce contest, principally over the appoint
ment Of a receiver, which lasted three days,
the case was finally left in the hands OF
Judge Brown who at once passed an order
in which he declined to appoint perma-
nent receiver and discharged the temporary
receiver, Mr. Halves An inventory is to
be taken of all the personal property belong
ing to Kerr and Memmler and filed in the
Clerks office. DR. Mcmmler is still to have
charge of the place, but is restrained from
disposing Of any effects except such as may
be necessary for carrying on existing con-
tracts and paying the farm and his family
expenses. DR. Memmler holds titles to half
of the farm &c, and has lease of 20 years
for the balance The commences ofhis title
is to be passed upon by jury.

GLASS HOUSES.
"They Who Live in Glass Houses Should Mind
How They Cast Stones.

THE wicked feeth when no man pursueth."
1t is amusing to see how tender-footed
certain blood remedy propretors have be-
come Of late They make much ado about
apes and imitators' when none are in sight.
The proprietors of B. B. B. would say
most emphatically that.their remedy stands
upon its own merit Should we attempt to
initiate, it would not be those who do not
understand the modus operand of that
which they offer. Our own long experience
in the profession precludes such an idea.
The field for blood remedies is large and
broad, affordng ample room for all present
aspirants. We do not desire to close the
door against others, neither shall it be clos
ed against us. B. B. b. is the quickest rem
edy, does not contain mineral or vegetable
poison, does not initiate and is in the field
as an honorable competitor for public favor,
and its success is without a parallel.

AN HONEST MAN.

Messrs. Editors: | have just read very
pleasant account of an honest man in the
last issue of the JOURNAL, by the name of
Holman and it would seem as though it was
looked upon as rare case; but is it really
rare case? If so, then what becomes of
the thousands, yea tens OF thousands of pro-
fessors of Christianity in the United States ?
for all must be as honest as Holman, if they
expect to get to heaven
Mr. Editor thunder such truths in our
ears increasingly, until such case will no
longer be looked upon as a rarity. B.
