The Hunter* and Thankagl vlng Hunt.
They left town Thursday morning to
kill,cook and cat Thanksgiving dinners
did not make a success, yet they claim
to have had a jolly time. They went
to Mr. Oartledgo’s farm, six miles east
of here. On their way they met sixty-
four vehicles coming to Columbus, and
on inquiry it was ascertained that most
of them wore carrying visitors to the
circus. On the return one of the party
ran his buggy into an ox cart, which
resulted in a bill of repairs. On the
hunting ground the party was divided
into two squads. The two doctors and
the hunter being one, and our senior
taking the balance into his squad. It
was agreed that all should return to the
farm house at 12 o'clock m., whore the
game was to bo proparod and barbecued.
Squad No. 2 returned promptly, with
one rabbit and a wood-poeker. The
bird was killed by a Bank man who in
sisted that it was a yellow hammer,
but ho could’nt deceive his fellow hun
ters. Not having sufficient game for a
decent barbecue, the squad waited un
til 1:60 r. m., for squad No. 1 to appear,
hoping they would make a bettor
showing ; but having waited in vain,
they decided to lunch and in doing so,
eat up all the viands except a few
pieces of bread. They then went forth
again, and at 6 i\ m., returned und
found that squad No. 1. had come in
and were making a dinner on Worces
tershire sauce, boiled eggs and light
bread. This party brought in twenty-
four birds of all varieties from the tiny
sparrow to the majestic owl. Disgust-
od with hunting, tho party returned to
the city and invested their spare
change In circus tickets. The weather
was cold and windy, and tho birds
would’nt light on the trees, are tho rea
sons, as given, for not making a suc
cess of the Thanksgiving hunt.

Cotton Thieve*.
Wednesday night, about 11 o’clock,
some unknown persons stole Judge
McElvy’s yoke of oxen, hitched them
to his wagon containing throe bales of
cotton and startod for Columbus. The
colored people in that community,
(about ten miles southeast of HiIh place,
in Chattahoochee ^county) were having
services that night near Judge Mc
Elvy’s, which had just broken up, and
the colored minister, hearing the wagon
rolling across a Held near the above
named gentleman’s house, informed
some one on the premises of tho fact,
as it was an unusual hour for such
an occurrence. Immediately every
body was moused and wont ill quest of
the thieves. They soon overtook the
team, but those in possession hearing
them coming made their escape. The
cotton was placed on tho wagon Wed
nesday preparatory to coming to this
market Thursday, which intention was
carried out, notwithstanding the futile
attempt at stealing.
Watches and Clocks repaired by ex
perienced workmen. School and Soci
ety badges; also, llair Jewelry made
to order. Diamonds re-sot, and En

Tli*nk*ihlni Day.
It was wretchedly cold, and the winds
seemed fresh and strong from tho ice
Helds. The streets were crowded with
people while the circus procession was
passing. The steam calliope and the
band stirred up the natives. That circus
took off ^1,500 from Columbus and spent
little.
Religious services wore held at the
Episcopal ami implUt churches. At
the latter the Presbyterian and Method
ist congregations united and Rev. Dr.
A. B. Campbell preached.
'Pile banks closed as nearly as thoy
could. Post office and telegraph offices
observed Sunday hours.
Tho day was equal to Christmas if one
judged from the number of drunken
men on the streets. We seen at least a
dozen drunk on Broad street before 12
o’clock. They wore generally quiet
drunks.
There were several minor skirmishes
near the circus among the negroos, but
none save the “shooting match,” which
we publish to-day. of any impor

There was considerable excitement
yesterday afternoon in front of J.
Joseph’s store, because a certain person
said, “Take it back.” Wo had no idea
what was said by the other “one'
cause any wrangle, nor do we know
yet. There is one thing, however, that
we are fully advised about, and that is
tho driver said to his horses, “take it
back,” or back, meaning that the
animals should back their load up to
the sidewalk. Now as tho noble animals
were obeying, the white or gray one
caught her underlip in the breast chain.
This was painful to her mid she began
to rear back. Well, it demonstrated
the well known fact (we might say
adage! that when persons have too
much “lip,” they have to “go hack on”
it or “take it hack," and that was
ths trouble with the horse.
He arrived about 4 o’clock Thursday
morning, in company with two
friends, and had been fifteen hours
coming. He was a tall, bony fellow*,
with his pants stuck in a pair of red-
tep boots, and was first seen on the
Georgia Home corner smoking a
cheroot. Meeting some city acquaint
ance, he drank his health In old rye ;
and tho trouble was, he met too many
whoso health had to be drank. At
noon he was happy as a lord, and at
dark he began to feel drowsy. All du
ring the day he would ejaculate:
“Come boys, let’s take something—
come seventy-five miles to see the
show and am bound to have some
fun.” About six o’clock his friends
advised him to go and get shaved before
going to the circus, which he concluded
to do. He entered, and after being
seated said, “Shave mo quick fur we
(hie) going to the show.” The barber
finished tho job, but while the shaving
was going on Morpheus had wound liis
arms about him and ho could not bo
awakened. They succeeded in getting
him in another chair, and about mid
night he was aroused and insisted that
lie must see the show, and not until he
visited the grounds would he believe
that they had gone. “Cum seventy-five
miles to see the show and then not see
it. Well, durn my buttons if I don’t
see that ere show if it takes my whole
crop.” The last seen of him he was on
an old grey mule crossing tho lower
bridge.

Enterprise—Pluek.
Few men of this day have exhibited
as much pluck and enterprise in busi
ness as Dr. Tutt, of Now York, tho pro
prietor of Tutt’s Liver Pills. In a few
yours he lias built up a business of vftHt
proportions, and made his name a
household word all over the land. Ad
vertising agents say that he has paid
tho press this year over one hundred
thousand dollars, and that the demand
for his medicines is enormous, both in
foreign countries and at home. The
New York papers report the shipment
from that port in one day of a “ton of
Tutt’s Pills.” Think of it; two thou-
sand pounds of Pills ! From this great
success our merchants and manufac
turers may learn a useful lesson. If
thoy have an article of true merit—no
humbug—let everybody know it
through the medium of printer’s ink,
and success Is sure. It is true it re
quires pluck, but “none hut tho brave
deserve the fair.” More Dr. Tutts and
hard times will disappear us rapidly as
disease vanishes before his most ex
cellent medicine.

On Thursday afternoon about live
o’clock, and just after tho circus per
formance was over, two of tho Colum
bus policemen became involved in a
difficulty and used their pistols without
any apparent cause. Many rumors
were afloat as to the cause. and result
of tlie difficulty, and after laboring
hard the better part of yestarday our
reporter thinks he lias it about right.
We will give as near as possible tlie
statement of tlie parties involved, and
tlie only witness wc could hear that
saw it. Tlie reporter first called on
Mr. John L. Jackson, at his home on
upper Broad street. Mr. J. is a gentle
man about thirty-five yoars of age and
has a wife and two or three interesting
children. He talked with remarkable
ease for a wounded man.
POLICEMAN J. L. JACKSON’S STATEMENT.
Hackney and ho had always been tlie
best of friends; bad no grudge or any
thing whatever against H., and sup
posed H. had none against him; was
walking witli H. between the horse
tent and jnil fenco, when H. commenced
cursing iiim, Buying, “I'll whip you,”
when lie replied, “I want no difficulty,
but no inan can do that." H. said,“I’ll
show you,” (still cursing); threw his
club down and drew a pistol, cocking
it and pointing toward J. J. said, “this
is nonsense; I’ve nothing against you,
and want no difficulty; if you are
going to shoot mo, do it.” H. then put
up his pistol, laughing as he did it,
whereupon J. walked back with him to
pick up club. After picking up tlie
club, H. began cursing him again. J.
said that ho was not afraid of him, but
wanted no difficulty—tills being about
the sixtli time that he had said this.
H. then struck him in the face with
pistol and club in right hand; J.
jumped I lack out of his reach; then 11.
ahot him in the aide, and cocked
ilia pistol and snapped, but the
pistol did not lire, cooked and
shot, when J. shot—these last
being nearly simultaneous. 11. shot
again, but missed. During this time J.
wus attempting to cock liis pistol, but
on account of soino defect, it would
not rovolve until H. had shot three
times and snapped once, then J. shot
and walked away. During tlio shoot
ing tlie men connocted witli the circu;
told Jackson to run, us his pistol would
not revolve. Mr. Comer, the jailer,
walked to Simons’ corner with him
where they met Mr. Jno. Bowen, who
nsked "what’s the matter?" Mr. C. re
plied. “Jackson lias killed Hackney
and was justified in doing so.” IIo
then began to fool weak and asked to
be held up, gave liis pistol to Bowen
and was carried to Mr, Gager’s room,
where ho roinaiued until tills morning,
wlion lie was carried to ills home. Said
if H. hud not boon drinking the diffi
culty would not have occurred. He
said they hud no words or any unploos-
ant feelings towards each other before
tho difficulty, but were tlie best of
friends.
JACKSON’S WOUNDS.
Mr. J. received two wounds, one in
the right side and the other near the
right shoulder, from which he has suf
fered a great doal.
Tlie reporter mot
MR. FRANK COMER
at tlie court house and obtained his
statement, which is us follows:
Did not see the parties more than
twenty or thirty seconds before tlie fir
ing commenced; my attention was
called to it by some boys, who came to
mo and snitl two policemen are quar
relling, then walked towards thorn;
thoy were walking betwen the jail
fence and the horse tent of the circus
with their arms locked; knew they
woro talking, but couldn’t hear what
was said; H. suddenly pulled away and
said something, J. replied ; II. put liis
club in loft hand and drew a pistol, then
put club and pistol in right hand; II.
made an assertion, J. disputed it, when
H. struck Him with club and pistol
(both in right hand) on the head; J.
jumped hack, H. aimed pistol at him;
J. said, “Don’t shoot;” tlie pistol failed
to tire, when ho cocked it again and
shot; J. drewa pistol and shot II. They
were then getting on a lino with Mr.
C., and lie retreated behind tlie cornor.
Ho thinks there were live shots fired,
all told.
F0L1CEMAN HENRY HACKNEV
was called upon and told the reportor
the following: "One of the showmen
was abusing tlio policemen and mo
especially, mid wo were quarreling,
when J. intorferred and tlie shooting
commenced ; don’t know who struck
first: botli of us had been drinking ;
ltad no grudge against J. at all, and
considered him my friend, was tlie
host friend J. had in Columbus.”
X\ r o woro reliably informed that a
member of Cole's circus knocked H.
down and stamped his Iieud. Mr. II.
informed tlie reporter that ho was
knocked down by one of them, after
being shot, and that tlio fellow stamp-
pod him.
hackney's wound.
Mr. Hackney has a wife and four
children in the lower portion of tlie
oity, where he now is. Ho received
two wounds from n pistol, onojust
below tlie breast bone, which, however,
is only a flesh wound and of vory lltlle
consequence; the other is a mere
“track” of a bullet across tlie tomple.
Tltesc are ills only wuunds, which are
not dangerous and he will doubtless be
out in a weok or two.
From all we can gather they were
botli under tlie influence of whiskey
which was tlie prime cause of the dlffl
culty.
the influence of whiskey it 1* better for
; them to practice on each other. It Is
i useless to say the act is denounced by
all, that the city government is not In
the least responsible or to be blamed,
and that a judicial investigation will
follow as soon as the parties are well
enough.

if he can help it, having a great dislike
for it.
It is strange how crowded two
young men will niako the largest parlor
seem on Sunday evening.
—The great big sticks of licorice that
used to sell for ten cents are now down
to fi ve, witli an increase of gravel stones
to sharpen teeth on.
P" Thursday cotton receipts were
570 bales, and shipments 38. AH the
receipts, oxcopt 48, wore by wagons.
—The circus ltad a horrid calliope—
steam organ—the poorest we ever
hep - d.
—Not all the powers of a colored
church government can keep brothers
and sisters from going to a circus, nor
white ones either, as for that matter.
A countryman coming through the
court house yard drew a pistol and
fired for amusement towards the walk.
It created somo little excitement, but
we don’t think lie was arrested.
Thursday was a very cold day. The
circus procession was seen bv thou
sands, and the attendance on tlie show
was good. Many ladies were present
at night, though the atmosphere was
freezing.
■As the Mobile and Girard train
was departing witli Cole’s circus a calf
concluded to cross the track in spite of
the engine, the pilot caught it and after
turning around several times it was
thrown fully ten feet without injury.
—Next Wednesday every man can
vote to liis heart'B content. He can
east his ballot for State Senator, for
members of the Legislature, for or
against tlio new Constitution, for At
lanta or Milledgevile for the State Cap
ital, and for the homestead of 1868 or

Mehrnek’s Mandrake Pills
Will be found to possess those qualities
necessary to the total eradication of all
bilious attacks, prompt to start the se
cretions of the liver, and give a healthy
tono to the ontlre system. Indeed, it
is no ordinary discovery in medical
science to have invented it remedy for
those stubborn complaints, which de
volop all the results produced by t
heretofore free use of calomel, a min
eral justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to be destructive in the
oxtremo to the human system. That
tlie properties of certrin vegetables
comprise all the virtues of calomel
without its injurious tendencies, is now
tin admitted fact, rendered indisputa-:
ble by scientific researches; and those
who use the Mandrake Fills will be
fully satisfied that the best medicines
aro tiiose provided by nature in the
common herbs and roots of the fields.
Those Pills open the bowels and cor
root all bilious dorangomeuts without
salivation or any of the injurious
effects of calomel or other poisons. The
secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, os will ho seen by the) altered
color of the stools, and disappearing of
tlie sallow complexion and cleansing of
the tongue.
Amnio directions for use accompany
