A. mass meeting of the citizens of
Coryllc county was held in the court
house, at the town of Gatesville, on
Saturday, the 2d day of October, 1875,
for the purpose of devising means, if
possible, to prevent the comission of
crime, and to bring the guilty to pun-ishinent.
J. F. Brickhouse was appointed
chairman, and W. O. Campbell, Secre-tary.
A committee, consisting of J.C.
Hcarne, W. IT. Belcher, S. Fields, B.
Hood. F. M. Monk, A. S. Jarnigan,
J. W. Friend, J. H. Chrisman and H.
A. Walker, was appointed to dralt
resolutions, 'the commitree reported
the following preamble and resolu-lions:
WiiRKKAs, Many good citizens of our
county have recently fallen ^by the
hand of the cowardly Assassin, and-to
such'an extent have bad men con-spired
and contrived against, the
good, law-abiding men of our com-munity
that none feel secure in his
life, and
Whereas, It is the duty of all good
cit.zensto aid in maintaining and ex-editing
the law and in bringing to
justice the perpetrators and abettors
of said crimes, therefore
Resolved, That, we, the citizen of
Cory idle county, 'look wiili Sorrow and
indignation Upon the spirit qf lawless-ness
at present, existing in our count}’,
and Id ruby pledge oniwlvia by our sa-cred
honor Ilia! wv v. iil -co-op© rale with
and aid, assist and sustain by all the
means in our power the constituted au-thorities
in ferreting out and punish-ing
according to law the instigators,
abettors and perpetrators of all offenses
again.si the lives of our citizens.
Resolved, That we, as law-abiding
citizens, will use our host endeavors to
brine’ about a reconciliation of . the
feud now existing in our midst, and
suggest that a comniiitcc of six be
appointed to wait upon both parties,
and try, as far as in their power to rec-oncile
them.
The following named gentlemen were ■
appointed a committee, according to
the suggestion of the last resolution:
J. C. Ilearne, W. II. Belcher, S. Fields,
J. Iv. Saunders, JR. J. Perry and L B.
Hardy. ^
The Secretary was instructed to pre-pare
a copy of the resolutions and pro

California Honey.
The Los Angelos Herald says: ‘ ‘Bee
culture is spreading rapidly. At the
present rate of increase it is estimated
that there will be in four years one
million stands of bees in this and the
two adjoining counties, which will
produce annually 100,000,000 pounds
of honey, worth $20,000,000, which is
more than the value of the sugar and
molasses crop of Louisiana, Texas and
Florida combined.”
Tli©..Canvass of 18*76.
According to the New York World,
the issues for the canvass of 1876 are
as follows:
1. The finances, in opposition lo the
legal tender financiers of ti e Republi
can party.
2. The tariff as between free trade
and prolection, (meaning a revenue
tariff against prole.;! i n.)
3. Bribery and corruption against
the fifteen years’ wrongs j>f the Repub-lican
parly.
A Cruel Disappointment.
From the Detroit Free Press.
On the Lake Shore road the other
day, an old lady, seated opposite a
sharp-looking gentleman, kept her eyes
on him a long time, and finally she re
marked:.
“Mister, are you a pick-pocket?”
‘‘Why, no, madam—I’m a business
man of Cleveland,” lie answered.
“Is that so?” she sighed. “Well, I
am awfully disappointed; I wanted to
try and see if 1 couldn't reform you.”
Fit'll ting' Joe Hooker’s idea.
Gen. Hooker talks like a statesman
and a» patriot when he says: “Il seems
to me that our people should have
learned long since that prosperity can
not return to us so long as the bad
feeling and dissension created by the
war of the rebellion continue to divide
us. I firmly believe that, the true and
honest soldiers of the Republic have
never lent their influence to the ene.our-agement
and continuance of the bad
blood engendered by the war, and that
t hey never will.”

October 4, 1875. )
Ed. Examiner:
Knowing that your take a lively
interest in the material progress of
our count} I drop yon.a few locals.
The Grove is steadily improving.
Mr. Ben Worley is now erect ing a
first-class steam mill here; his saw
and grist mills are now running; in
a few days bis gin will he running,
■and by the last of this month his
flouring mill will be in operation.
Iiis engine is thirty horse .power,
all his machinery is first-class, and
11is buildings 30x40 feet are being
put up in the most substantial man-ner.
lie will be able to compete
with the best mills of the South, he
having secured the services of Mr.
Homan, an experienced and scienti-fie
miller, to superintend the flour
ing department. There will be at-tached
a.turning lathe to the mill,
where chairs, wheels, Ac., will be
turned out in the neatest style. We
have now two full stores, two doe-tors,
blacksmith and wood shop,
shoe and boot shop, and a saddler
and harness maker; also, a stone
cutter who makes beautiful tomb-stones
and other ornamental work
out of the native roc-k. We need
now a tanner; we have the best site
in the count y for one, abundant ma-terial
to tan with, near. We have a
live, wide-awake Grange and .Ma
sonic Lodge in ourfinenew hall, the
best.edifice of the kind in the conn-ty.
Our school is now in charge of
Mr. Kannaman, from the University
of Georgia, a thorough scholar and
disciplinarian, which gives an earn-est,
of present, and future usefulness
to our neighborhood.
The footprints of the Grange are.
visible in all departments, infusing
industry and economy among all
classes.
Farmers are now busy gathering
cotton, which will yield a half bale
per acre on an average. They
gathered 25 bushels of corn to the
acre, which is now selling at Ifoni
50 to 75 cents per bushel. The
wheat yield was about fifteen bush-els,
now selling at one dollar per
bushel. Provisions are abundant
forborne consumption, and some to
spare the immigrant, whose cam})
fires are beginning to be seen over
tlm country. There will be nearly a
thousand acres of new land put in
cultivation this fall. Peace and
harmony prevail. Yours, M.

Geu Sherman’s Meinoirs stirred up a
great buzz among military .men, but
bis brother officers have hitherto been
chary of committing themselves to
formal replies. Geu. 4. II. Wilson of
cavalry fame has at last, however,
thrown down the gauntlet. Two arti-cles
in recent numbers of one of the
magazines (the Galaxy) are from his
pen. They review Sherman candidly,
but not kindly, -declare of him that he
cannot be assigned the highest rank
among the great captains of the world,
or even of opr own country; that neith-er
liis judgment nor his courage is of
the. highest order, ami that they arc
not in harmonious equilibrium. Gen.
Wilson further contends that Sherman
is not the equal of Grant in judgment
or courage, though he excels him in
brilliauoy; that he is inferior to Thom-as
in steadiness and resolution, far sur
passed by Sheridan in courage, and ex-celled
by Upton as a tactician and gen-end
student of the military art. Fin-ally,
the critic concludes that the Me-inoirs
will cause their author to be as-signed
a lower place than might other-wise
have fallen to his lot.

TIi© Farmer’s Friend.
“Wliat’s this man doing to keep
otd of the worktts?” inquired his
Honor, as George Dyers drifted up
to tlie mark.
“Sell mowing machines and forty
tooth harrows,” growled the pris-oner;
“and if I did leave signs on
the sidewalk, I loft ’em there as a
warning to farmers not to buy else-where
without examining goods and
prices.”
“Young man,” said his Honor, “I
love you. You are the friend of
the fanner, the noble tiller of the
alluvial. You may go.”—Sherman

The Laclede st ill maintains its strong hold
upon tlie traveling public as the favorite ho--

is a prince of a “Mine Host,” and his clerks
not of the “stuck-up” sort. Guests are
treated with the utmost civility, and are
made to feel that the Laclede, for the time,
is their home. Of course, under such a
management, the table and also the rooms

increased demand, and no arrivals of
country flour. Bacon is high, and
quoted in St. Louis at U% to 14% for
clear sides. Hides dull; sell here at
