ONEIDA STAKE.
DOings at the Recent Quarterly
Conference.

To the Editor OF THE HERALD
On Saturday and Sunday, the 2Sth
and Goth of April. the Quarterly Con-
ference of Oneida Stake of Zion was
held at Franklin. On the stand were
the Presidency of the Stake, namely,
George G. Parkinson, Solomon H. Hale
and Matthias F. Cowley also, Patriarch
Milo Andrus, and good many bishops
of the various wards, with presidents
of the different quorums. The morn
ing meeting was occupied by the bishops
giving their reports; also part of the
afternoon was occupied the same way,
after which We had very interesting
discourse from George Baker, returned
missionary from the south. The meet
ing adjourned until Sunday morning.
On Sunday morning the house was
filled long before meeting time. Bishop
Durham, of New Mexico, was intro
duced to the congregation. He said
that he was surprised to be called to
address the congregation. He realized,
in some degree, the situation of the
people in this land, and he wondered if
we appreciated the blessings that sur
round US. Though many have suffered
persecution, we still are blessed. He
gave US excellent instructions concern
ing our duties, and prayed the Lord to
| bless all.
President Solomon II. Hale was the
next speaker. He said that it was with
a degree of JOY and pleasure that he
met with the Latter-day Saints in this
Conference. and under such favorable
circumstances. We ought to be thank
full that we are permitted to meet to-
gether, with no one to modest US. We
ought to ask God to bless those that
address us. He was pleased to find, by
the reports of the bishops, that the peo-
pie in Oneida Stake were improving.
and some are falling by the way side.
| have Ioiled and labored in the cause of
truth for years fall away, but on the
other hand, we have cause to rejoice
when we see men and women live faith
full through all tribulations, and die in
the faith. Though we shed tears at
their parting, he said we ought not to
mourn for the departure of the faithful,
but mourn for ourselves, for our Wav-
wardness, our follies and errors. He
said we ought to look after the poor,
and see that enough was gathered
through the fast donations for their
support, so that there would be no oc-
casion to call for help from the tithing.
etc. He also spoke on the subjects Of
repentance and forgiveness, and ex-
horted the people to be charitable, to
live their religion, and if they do so,
the Lord will bless them.
The next speaker was Milo Hendricks,
grandson of Patriarch Milo Andrus,
who gave US brief history of his
travels in the Southern States. He had
just returned from mis- mission. He is
the young man that was shot in the
leg by the mob in Virginia. He gave
US quite an interesting sketch of bis
labors. He spoke of the sayings of
some of the young men, that when
they finished sowing their wild oats and
get older then they would commence to
improve, but he advised them to not
SOW any wild oats, for as sure as we
SOW, so we shall reap. He could see

A RETRACTION.
In Connection With a Brigham
City Joke.

An insane person is one possessing
the form of goodness, but bereft of tn,
power thereof; and has a brain which
works as harmoniously as conglomer.
ated mass of heterogeneous incon
gruity.
A dude is defined as q thingless
thing-I was about to say without body
parts or passions, but will not, as he
has passion-for gorgeous display
without brain and minus every re-
deeming quality which ordinary men
possess, unless you favorably consider
his only commendable attributes-the
lordly strut and patent legs, the latter
reminding one of the two sugar cane
stlaks out on a spree; they are very
unmanageable.
l mention the above to bring to mind
two articles which recently appeared in
The HERALD; the last doomed up in
to days issue. From the above defini-
lions OF an insane person and dude,
will not every unbiased reader agree
with me that the insane epithet is
preferable? It at least balances the
scales, if it does not over weigh the
other. Granting this, will proceed
without any fear of being arrested for
label the day this article is published.
There are several statements in to-
days brief, which really sound ludi-
crous to any who are acquainted with
the particulars; but will pass them
silently by, as ventilation of the same
might bring on black snakes, slug shots
or stuffed clubs.
The dude" as they choose to term
me, obtained all his Information rela-
tive to this mere jest. which is now gain
ing some degree of notoriety. from the
most reliable source, and but few
hours after its preparation. Morris
has msnfully stood off several similar
attacks OF late, and from some of the
very persons whom my article referred
to, and, OF course, thought this too
good thing to smother; SO he told

This smart Aleck" deemed it little
too clever thing to confne to Brig

nounclng the article and the author.
There must have been a slight mis-
representation, and l gladly yield to
the decision of 1.-TWO of our most prom
inent citizens" asking pardon. But,
gentlemen, do not imagine this retrac
ton is made because one of the mis-
represented is the Largest shareholder

comparison to a mistatement. and

PINE STRAW BAGGING.

Among the cotton received a,
Charleston was one lot of fifteen
bales from Cheraw, S. c., which was
covered in bagging made from pine
straw The entire lot was quickly
disposed of and readily accepted by
the exporters. This practically
solves the bagging puzzle, and puts
a quietus on the hopes of the jute
bagging trust. The chamber of
commerce of Charleston some. weeks
ago subjected the pine fibre bagging
to a severe test, and at once pro-
nounced it Understandable. The fif-
teen bales were shipped to Liver
pool. The adaptability of the bag
ging to the covering of cotton will
result in a wonderful revolution in
the south. 1t is made of the need
les or leaves of the pine, which is
the natural growth Of the southern
forests. These needles can be made
into cotton bagging at cost which
is bound to run jute bagging out of
the United States. The green
needles, it is claimed, yield oil
enough to pay the entire cost of
their treatment. 1t is probable that
by next spring over 100 factories for
the manufactureof pine straw bag
ging and mating will be in opera
ton between Raleigh, N. c. and
New Orleans, La.

THE SOUTH is SOLID.
AND THE BONDS OF HER RAIL.
ROADS SELL AT PAR.
The Marietta and North Georgia Places
Bonds in London.

A New York special to the Con.
stitution says: While Wall street is
devoting much of its attention to
live southern enterprises, London
is likewise looking to that field and
English investors are showing sub
stantial faith in good railroad prop
critics of the new south. A large
bond sale, just perfected by the Ma
rietta and North Georgia Railway
company in London, is the latest
evidence of this fact.
Mr.. George r. Eager, general
manager of the Marietta and North
Georgia, received q cablegram this
morning informing him that the
foreign financial agents of his COM
pany, namely, Messrs. L. j. Ham
bro & Sons, London bankers had
succeeded in placing all the bonds
which he recently put in their hands
for sale.
The bonds sold by Hambro & Sons
We're all that remained to be sold of
the entire amount necessary to CON-
plete the road between Atlanta and
Knoxville, and insures the finishing
of the through line with all possible
dispatch.
The price at which the London
bankers sold the bonds was par.
The success of this negotiation
has made considerable talk in Wall
street to-day, and will no doubt di.
rect new attention to the property
that may soon make it factor in
the big deals now pending in south
ern railroads. James w. jackson
vice-president of the road, was seer
to-day, and when asked about tn,
London deal, reiterated all that Mr.
Eager had said, and spoke wit
great enthusiasm of the prospects O
the road.

WATER WORKS.

EDITORS JoURNAL-In the discus
sion Of proposed water supply for
Marietta one phase of the question
seems to have been ignored, i. e. "a
system of sewage to make water
works available. Without this free
water would be doubtful blessing.
and might prove a positive curse.
Before the city is committed to pay
an extravagant sum for mere street
use Of water and gas (for Of. course.
all private or public consumers will
pay in addition the rates fixed by
controlling company for household,
church, manufacturing, or other
purposes) is it not best to count the
cost Of necessary sewers? If Ma
rietta dwellings we're built in COM
pact blocks, or if wells did not furn-
ish a fine natural supply, some sort
ofpublic water works would be in
dispensable. To be bonded for an
outlay for this purpose now, is like
a ten year old boy going into debt
for mems clothes that he would not
need till grown up The citizens Of
Marietta have sufficient enterprise
"a q q v
to initiate movement for gas and
water supply If needed. To accept
proposals from one outside party,
who offers no clearly defined plan
or Specifications, without seeking
competing bids, would seem rather
an unbusiness like way Of obtaining
a thing, even if very much desired.

WHAT HE WILL DO.

Mr. Jesse Metcalf, President of
one of the largest WOODEN mills in
Rhode Island, writes letter to the
Boston Herald denying the state
ment attributed to him by the Re-
publicans, that if the Mills bill we're
to pass he should expect to reduce
the wages of the operatives in his
mill. Mr.. Metcalf not only denies
ever having made statement Of
this kind, but points out in forci-
BILE and convincing manner that the
effect of the passage of the Mills bill.
placing wool on the free list, would
unquestionably lead to decided in
crease in the wages of the operatives
ia wooden and worsted mills, in con-
sequence of the greatly enlarged de-
mand for their services. He says
that the immediate result of such an
economic change would be the prep
aration on his part to erect new
mill, IN order to be able to take his
share in the tremendous enlarge
ment of production which would
inevitably follow.

ment as consul to one of the French
ports. His friends viii be grati6ed

of this mornings AGE that the Pres
ident has sent his name to the SEN
ate for confirmation as consul to
Cognac, France. The AGE joins
with his many friends in this city in
congratulating him upon his success.
But this is accompanied with the
regret that his friends may not see
him again for long, long time. OF
course Cleveland will be e-elected,
and in this case the consul to Cog
nae is likely to make his home in
France for tour or FIVE years to
come. H
DR.. Earle comes of one of the very
best families OF the South, and is by
rearing and education a model rep
resentative of the younger genera

TWO DAMAGE SUITS.
ONE CITIZEN sATs HE Was HORSE
WHIPPED,
And Another Eags that He was Arrested
sn and Slandered. i ~

Mr.. Gus Mayes lives about six miles
east of Marietta and is q wealthy farmer.
While he and others were absent from his
house, in the cotton field, some unknown
thief entered his residence, on Wednesday
of last week. broke open trunk and stole
$3.50 in money. q gold watch and other
valuables and then departed with his booty.
When Mr.. Mayes returned to the house he
discovered his loss and attempted to ferret
out the thief but his efforts proved futile.
The thief is supposed to be . negro man
who was seen lettering around in that
neighborhood and afterwards went in the
direction of Atlanta.
But in his efforts to find the thief, Mr..
Mayes while riding along in the road met.
Mr.. John Franklin whom he arrested and
at the point of pistol marched him to
town and had Sheriff Coryell to search him,
but finding no stolen money or watch he
was turned loose 1872 5f8@ ls0
While in the city ON the 18th and 10th,
Mr.. Mayes got in an angry dispute with one
of our citizens and also rode his horse on
the sidewalk Two city cases were made
against him. On Monday he entered a
plea of guilty and was fined $40 and cost
in each case. Mr. Mayes' troubles do not
end here. He is now confronted with two
damage suits.
Messrs. R. N. Holland and J. E. Motley
aft Co III L
lin and Thomas j. Moore have filed two
suits of $4,000 each for damages in Cobb
Superior Court against Mr.. NJ. A. Mayes.
Mr.. Franklin sues for false imprisonment
and SANDER. He alleges that on the 18th
of October he was overtaken on the public
highway by Mr.. Mayes and was arrested by
him without any authority of law or prob
able cause That Mr.. Mayes drew pis-
toll on him and forced him for the space Of
three hours to travel asong said highway
and in the presence of divers citizens, ours
ed him for a thief and rogue. That he
brought him to Marietta and had him
searched as a common thief and felon.
Plaintiff claims that his character and rep
utation have been wantonly injured and
asks for damages on this account as we'll
as for being deprived of his personal liber-
ty and for wounded feelings.
Mr.. Moore alleges that on the night of
October 10Th he was horse-whipped and
otherwise abused by Mr. Mayes, as plain
tiff was travelling peaceably along pub
lie highway, hurrying after physician for
his wife who was very i'll. That Mr. Mayes
cursed him and called him many SANDER
Gus names. He sues for the pair to body
and mind caused by the alleged humilia-
ton put upon him.
Mr.. Franklin lives in Marietta and is an
industrious laborer. Mr.. Moore is a SON
of Hon. Thomas II. Moore and respect
able farmer of this county.
