Twenty-one years ago Dublin was re
markably sickly. Since that time it 1ms
been remarkably healthy till the present
time. Many fear a return of tlic times of
’57.
The Post is decidedly tlic most popular
paper that ever found its way intp Laurens
and Johnson counties. Parties wishing to
advertise in these two counties should bear
this in mind.
Wlmt has become of the engineer who
wns to commence work on our river three
weeks ago? Can’t Col. Probed or some
one else rise and explain. Our people and
merchants are beginning to chafe.
There is to be a mass meeting of the cit
izens in the Court House on the’lust Satur

The “Post” Beyond The Seas.
BIr. T. P. Sarchett handed us last week
a copy of the Guernsey (England) Mail &
Telegraph, containing clippings from the
Dublin (Georgia) Post.
We stuted in last issue that 3Irs. Blary
McLendon returned to Eastman with Miss
Herman on the 1st tost. This was a mis
take. We are glad to learn that she will
remain in Dublin for a week or two yet,
The Barbecue and Basket Dinner com.
mittees met last Saturday in the Court
House, The reports were “booming” with
encouragement. Every one expects a grand
success, and a good time, is anticipated all
rouna.
Don’t fail to read BIr. Tillery’s big
advertisement. His store is being rapidly
filled up with a magnificent Fall 8tock,
and is altogether an exceedingly interesting
place for parties to want of almost anything
kept to a first-class store.,
Our clever and accommodating fellow
townsman, BIr. W. A. Sims, contemplates
building a store-house on the the comer of
his lot next to the Court House and going
into merchandising. He is a man of the fi
nest business talent, and, wc feel wire,
could build up a good business.
Judge Wolfe received one of Schofield’s
little engines last week by steamer, which
is now iu operation, furnishing the niotiye
power for Ills gin. The engiue is an im
provement on anything of the sort that
lias been brought to Dublin, nud is much
admired by all who have seen it.

The Macon Grocery Depot.
We direct attention to tlio large adver
tisement on tlio four 111 page of this Blrnn-
mouth Grocery Store. J. B. Jones & Co.
have been dealiug with this house for a
long t ime—which is the best recommenda
tion we could give it in Laurens and John
son counties.
A Sad Accident.
Oh Inst Saturday Ynoming, Mrs. Eveline
R. BIcLoou was going up the gin-house
steps on BIr. Hughes’Whitehead place six
miles West of town, when, about half way
up, her foot slipped and she fell forward,
striking her left side across a step, from the
effects of which fall she died almost in
stantly.
Blaster Ashley Jones went out a few
mornings ago to look for his calf. He found
calfic hound hard and fast and unable to
rise. It eftmo about on thiswise: His
calfsbip had by some means got some of
Mr. Johnson’s turpentine smeared over bis
leg which lind hardened while said C. was
asleep with his leg folded under him, and
he awoke to find himself helpless.
Pay-Day Has Come!
We earnestly hope that every man in
Laurens county who is in nrrenrs to the
Post, will come to Court tlic 2nd Monday
in October, or before, prepared to pay up.
We started our paper in June—a time
when it is idle to talk to most men of
money; lienee wc agreed to wait with a
large number of subscribcrs'till they could
sell their cotton; hut wc never entertained
the remotest idea of running the Post on a
credit. It was only the season that almost
compelled us to start on a credit, but wc
intend to bring everything to a cash basis
at the earliest possible time. Pay-day has
come. It is needless to explain or apologize
for our position. Every one knows that a
paper cannot be conducted successfully,
paying as it goes, and collecting as it can.
An UnparcHfigwl Outragp,
A HARMLESS OLD GENTLE.VA?? OF BBVKNi
TY AND ONE OF IIIS GRAND-CHI l.JlHKN SHOT
BY MASKED VILLAINS,
On last Friday night seven masked men
rode up to the bouse of Mr. Willard Gray,
living two miles East of town, and hailed.
As lie stepped out on the porch, they fired
several shots at 1dm and riddled the house
with bullets. A rifle ball aud four small
shot struck the old man in the leg, and one
or two small shot struck one of his grand
children who was inside the house, in (lie
luck, There Is .no clue to the perpetrators
of this shameless horror. But this matter
should he looked into, and the villains
should every one ho made to .pull hemp.
BIr. Gray is a harmless old man of about
seventy years of age. The only thing that
can be said against him is that he has two
or three disreputable daughters.
Dublin, Ga., Seft. 0th, 1878.
Ed. Post:
In my late snd'domestic afflictions', when
every member of my family, myself in
cluded, was prostrate with fever, when in
this hopeless condition pur babe was taken
from us, when in the midst of strangers we
knew not where to look or wlmt to do, an
unseen hand of charity supplied our ma
terial wants, and we were otherwise com
forted by the noble-hearted people of Dub
lin.
I desire, through your paper, to tender
these Good Samaritans my heart-felt grat
itude—especially those—as I cannot thank
them in person—who have seen proper to
do their alms in secret. I slmll bold iu
grateful remembrance their disinterested
kindness as long os life shall last, and hope
they will reap their reward In the. land be
yond the stars where such noble deeds will
shine luminous when time slmll cease to
be. * Jefferson T. Flanders
In consequence of tlic great amount of
sickness prcvullirij in the community, and
the distress among the families of the pat
rons of the Dublin Academy, the opening
exercises will be postponed for one week,
from Sept, 10th to Sept. 23d. The pros
pects of the school were novor more flatter
ing, and wc bespeak for it a liberal patron

We hope our excellent post master, BIr,
Keen, when absent,.will have a deputy in
the post office who is more competent titan
Jim Wright. This week makes the sec
ond time his ignorance or criminal cajclcs-
ness, has come near doing serious injury
to the Post.
Two or three weeks ago after the Wrights
ville mail arrived \ye went to the office and
asked Wright for our mail. He said there
was nothing for us. We replied that we
felt sure we bad something—and asked hint
to let us sec the mail hag. On looking in
the bag, wo found four letters tor the Post.
On last Monday evening there occurred a
similar blunder. Wc are about as tired of
bis being post master as the public is of his
lielng murslinl.
