HON. A . H . 8 TBPHBNS,
OF TALIAFERRO.
FOR CONGRESSMAN AT LA ROB
HON. THOS. HARDEMAN,
OF BIBB.
LET THEM EXPLAIN AND DEFEND.
If there he anything which should
he held sacred, it is a solemn trust
committed to our hands by those
who confide in our honor, integrity
and good faith. And particularly is
this so in political affairs. When
the people appoint agents to execute
their will, and those agents delibe
rately betray the trust confided to
their keeping and guardianship,
surely they should he held to u strict
and rigid accountability. The De
mocracy of Burke, assembled in mas*
meeting, after reflection, and an al
most unanimous vote, instructed
their delegates to the late gubernato
rial convention to vote for Stephens
and the two~thirds rule. They did
Vote for Stephens, but did not vote
h r the two-thirds rule an sent and
instructed to do. Whether thfa rule
be wise or unwise is not the question.
The Democracy of Burke declared in
its favor, and commissioned these
gentlemen to express their con trie-
tions and wishes on the subject.—
These delegates betrayed their trust,
and outraged the confidence reposed
in them. What have they to say in
vindication? Will the head of that
delegation tell us the particulars of
bis conference with Gov. Colquitt on
the subject, ami how he influenced
hi» associates by telling them he
would take the responsibility, and
make it all right with the Democracy
of Burke ? Shall this new departure
be tolerated by Democrats, and a
precedent be established which will
leave the party at the mercy of pre
sumptuous and reckless agents ?
"We heartily endorse the remarks of
onr brother of the Herald on this
subject, at least.
WB DEO YOUR INDULGENCE.
It is with the utmost chagrin that
we offer onr readers a mere apology for
a paper this week; but the hand of afflic
tion has been very heavy upon us for
more than a week, and the work which
required the united efforts of three good
hands was left for one hand to do—and
he enfeebled by a severe attack of fe
ver. This Las been the situation, and
for this we beg your indulgence, and we
eannot believe that a single one of our
readers will censure ub when he knows
these facts. We not only do not intend
that The Citizen shall fall oft' in in
terest, but are perfecting our arrange
ments to make it a complete expositor
of the local news of the county. Al
ready have wc, under the greatest diffi
culties and unfair opposition, accom
plished much, The Citizen is fast be
coming a necessity to the people of
Burke county, and those who attempt
to stop its onward movement must
get out of the way, or he run over—
that’s all. Thanks to the powers of
quinine and Dr. Polhill’s eyewater, we
are all convalescing, and hope to he
able next week to resume our usual
form and filling.

—Mrs- J. O'Bryns spent Thursday
in Augusta.

summer at Indian Springs

a few days ago.
—Miss Ruth Hardwick, in company
with her sister and brother-in-law, Mrs.

—The first o’possum of the season

—Mr. C. N. McCroan does the
catering for Burke’s prisoners at the
jail in the absence of our Jailor, Mr.
John A. Grubbs, who with his family

sheep in the district, except McCath-
em’s old lamb, and be only failed to

that he couldn’t see tho dog, and the
dog couldn’t sec the sheep.
—What two Waynesboro blood*
was it that lost their hats while re
turning from Perkin’s Junction last
Sunday night! We understand oue
of them was selling ice to imaginary
customers in his dreams, while the
other fellow drove the horse in sil
ence humming, “Are you tired of me
d-a-r-l-isn-g.” We sympathize.
—We have seen several complaint* of
gnat sin our exchanges, which brings us to
notice that in town and country, field or
brake, there are swarms and myriads of
them in tlii* section, which have become
a terrible plague. It is really amusing
to see two citizens meet and pause for
a few minutes conversation, when off
comes each hat. not in aesthetic polite
ness, but as a weapon of self defense,
when a regular brushing match takes
place. Oh, the gnats J the terrible
gnats !
—A warrant was issued on the 23d
inst., for Hood Williams, Lee Mims
and Madison Jackson, all colored, for
breaking into the house of Wm.
Weaver also colored, near Lawtonville.
Madison Jackson was arre-ted and
committed to jail. The other two
are still at large. Weaver had been
selling watermelons, and had a small
amount of money, for which the
burglars were searching, hut after
breaking open Lis trunk they got
nothing.

—A darkey came to town last week
to buy 15 cents worth of meat. The
polite clerk took the colored ge’man’s
decimal currency, and wrapping up
the Western staple slipped it in the
customer’s vest pocket. Starting to go,
he asked for his colla.rd greaser, and
was greatly surprise when told he had
it, and declared he had hot seen it.—
He was directed to look in his ve t
pocket, and he drew forth the tit-bit
with a hearty yaw-haw, taking it as a
good joke. And now they tell us meat
has taken another rise.

•The Savannah Times, of the 27th
inst,, notices the arrival at the Screven
House in that city of the following
citizens of Waynesboro : R. A. Nee
ley, P. W. Cornwall, 1. L. Tulcher, S.
Schwinzwess and U. F, Shiundke. Of
course the Times means R. C. Neely,
P. W. Carswell, J. L. Fulcher, S.
ScIiKarzweiss and C. F. Shewmake.—
The Savannah News makes almost as
bad a mess of their names in noticing
their departure ou the Gate City, if
the Times is usually us correct as he is
in this instance his records are valuable
and ought to he preserved. Tho boys
wore straight when they left here, and
<vo know every no of them wri e a good
hand ; hut thev must have been badly
off, > r everybody in the Times office
had t k ii tie rn mixed. However,
our brother f the Times should at cue
il
ed ho could not open them, later in the
day, howeyer, he was seen standing at
the gratings gazing out upon the world,
now to him, “banned and barred, for
bidden free.” I)r. Johnson being call
ed irqcould detect no symptom of disease.
Friday morning after picking his nose
until it bled, he earefully preserved
every drop of the saguinary fluid by
wiping it on his «leovo, and when the
jailor entered he found the jajhawker
stretched on his pallet industriously
chewing a corner of his blanket, while
every fey minutes he would have an ar
tificial convulsion. Dr, Duncan waa
called to see him, but again failed to
discover any sign of disease. The doc
tor, however, concluded to apply the
fire test, which he did by touching the
“rooster” up with the lighted end of his
cigar, and it would have done you good
to have seen “terrapin crawl.” He
would immediately resume his convul
sive state and pose, and so continues.—
In our opinin it is a case which “plant
ation hitters” would effect a speedy
cure, and we advise its vigorous impli
cation.
— Mr. Thomas Cross while return
ing from a fishing party, near Mid-
ville, with his mother and two of her
children in a buggy was crossing a
bridge composed of slabs and pieces
of refuse plank, his horse stepped
upon a piece of plank in such a
manner as to cause it to fly up and
stick some seven or eight inches
into the horse’s abdomen. The horse
maddened with pain, began to kick
terribly, and while kicking struck
his little sister, Fannie, a tremendu-
ou* blow over the eye with his heels,
crushing in the skull so badly that
the child’s brains ran down over her
face and in her mothers lap while
being carried home. She was alive
on Monday and recognized and talk
ed with our Marshal, Mr. Wells, who
called to see her. Sh'ris not expected
to live. Mrs. Cross was also slightly
injured, and the buggy kicked to
pecies. The horse died on Monday
from the effects of hiB wound.

Y or Blood Purifier
For working out of the system the
malarial ji usion that is causing so
much sickness, aud will cause much
more unless the system is cleansed.
Rev. Henry Walker, the colored
preacher, having authority given him
in the Gospel, Luke 9:1, cured and
prevented a large amount of sickness
and saved expenses in his churches
with it until he was stopped, THE
TRUE CITIZEN says it acts like a
ch tm, but is obliged to send to
Aucusta for it. Juno9, 82.too
