Two Men Seriously Hurt.
ONE NOT EXPECTED TO
LITE.
FULL PARTICULARS.
On last Wednesday evening, about
sunset, William Smith, and Dick Thomp
son, a colored man, were engaged in
blasting a well on the premises of Hon.
U. O. Tate, about a mile below town.—
Mr. Smith is a one-armed man, having
lost his right arm by a former unlucky
explosion, and Dick Thompson, his as
sistant, a well-behaved negro.
CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION.
They were digging the well by contract
and were anxious to finish the same, as
soon as possible; so determined to make
one more blast before night, they placed
down the powder, without a sufficient
quantity of paper, and began tamping,
trusting to luck. There was plenty of
paper to be had for the asking ; but men
ongage \ in such a business, often be
come very careless.
A LUCKY ESCAPE.
A few moments before the terrible ex
plosion, Mr. Tate had stepped out of the
house, and had gone to the well, to in
quire how they were progressing with
the blast, and if they needed anything,
or some question of that nature. Find
ing that they wanted nothing, he return
ed to the house, which was only a short
jdistance from tho welU He had
ly stepped in the house, when the terri
ble catastrophe occurred. Had he ling
ered there, only a few moments longer,
he might have been blown to atoms.
THE EXPLOSION.
Hardly had they begun the tamping pro
cess, than the powder ignited, and with a
tremendous crash, the men were hurled
against the sides of the well, surrounded
with a perfect shower of rock, gravel,
and tools.
EFFECFB OF THE EXPLOSION.
Mr. Tate, with several of his hands to
assist him, ran to the brink of the well,
and soon had a tub at the bottom. In
a short time Dick was drawn to the top
more dead than alive.
Mr. Smith would make no effort to
leave, until Dick had first been drawn
out. He helped him into the tub, watch
ed him safely to the top, and warned him
not to fall out. Not being able to get
into the tub, he told them to make a
running noose in the rope, and let it
down to him. This was done, and
and though he had but one arm, and that
badly shattered, he succeeded in getting
the rope over his head, and so fastened it
about his body, as to be drawn up with
out further injury.
THE EXTENT OF THE WOUNDS.
Upon examination of a physician, soon
in attendance, Mr. Smith was found to
have one leg, the left one shattered, and
broken from the thigh down, the worst
wound being near the foot. One of the
bones below the knee, protruded through
his boot. His left arm was bruised and
mangled, but no bones broken. His
face was so blackenened and disfigured,
that it was impossible to ascertain
whether the sight was gone from his
eyes or not.
Dick Thompson, had one arm broken,
I dan eye gone. He also has a fearful
cut in the abdomen, that may prove se
rious.
The wounded men were taken care of
by Mr. Tate. Dick was brought to El
berton, in a day or two after the sad oc
currence.
THE KINDNESS OF MR. TATE.
After the explosion, Mr. Tate had Mr.
Smith taken to a comfortable room in his
house, and rendered all the aid possible.
The unfortunate man wants for nothing,
in the power of man to furnish, but
what he has it through the kindness of
Mr. Tate; indeed, he treats him with all
the kindness and attention, that he would
one of his family.
Mr. Smith, has been at the house of
Mr. Tate’s, ever since the accident. He
is still in a precarious condition, but re
markably cool and cheerful. He refuses
to have his leg amputated, and vows
that he get will well. The attending phy
sician remarked on Sunday last, that he
had lived longer than he had expected.
If he does recover, it will be almost a
miracle.
The colored boy, Dick Thompson, is
doing as well as might be expected, con
sidering the circumstances, and in all
probability, will recover.
It is a very sad affair, but we hope for
the best.
BOOKS^BOOZs!
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton, succes
sors to D. Quinn, publish their card this
week. This is a reliable house, and we
have no hesitancy in recommending them
to the patronage of the reading'public.
Those desiring choice literature, Albums,
Bibles, and Stationery of every descrip
tion, will do well to send their orders to
Quinn and Pendleton Booksellers, Sta
tioners, Music and Periodical dealers,
183 Broad Street, Augusta Ga. We call
especial attention to their advertisement
in another column.
The Mountain Boys.
On last Thursday morning, a party of
gentlemen left this city, for the monn
tains. Being tired of city-life, the con
tinual hub-bub and excitement connected
always with such a life, they sighed and
longed for the solitude of the moun
tains and valleys. For some weeks pre
vious to their departure, we think every
one of them dreamed of the beauties of
falling Tallulah, by night, and thought
of the mountains by day. We do not
think it amiss to say that each individu
al male man, of that honorable party,
had a small mountain on his brain, for
several days before they left. But we
hope, as they have probably reached
their destination, that they may enjoy
the sweets of the mountain-air to the
fullest extent, and feast [with their
eyes] on the beauties of mountain scen
ery, with the same pleasure we imagine
we would, were we there. But we have to
lament that instead of its being our hap
py lot to have the pleasure of
“Decking our hair with roses rare,
That grows on the montain side,”
we hafe the position of the editor to
fill. Kind reader, we ask for your sym
pathy. But this is not all. Were it all,
we might survive; the position of the
“devil,” is forced upon us, and it has
been so long since we acted in this c&-
pacity, that it seems almost impossible
for us to get into harness again. So
we are editor-in-chief, printer, and “dev
il.” Do you pity our fate, dear reader?
If you do, you can revive our drooping
spirits by sending in your melons, and
“sich like.”
Home Again.
We are glad to see the Hon. Robe t*
Hester, at home again. He has enjoyed
good heath during his absence, and
looks greatly improved. We think he must
have accidentally found a good boarding
house in the Gate City. Senator Hester
has been absent for several week, he be
ing a member of the committee to as
certain the indebtedness of Foster Blod
gett, to the State.
Death of an Aged Servant of God.
The Rev. Johnny Wade, died at his
home, in this county, last Saturday ev
ening, July 26. Father Wade had been
a minister of the gospel, for a great
number of years, and was well-known
throughout the county, and liked by all
who knew him. He was buried at
Stinchcombe church, last Sabbath. We
intend giving a more elaborate account
of the old gentleman’s life, in our next is
sue.
To The Public. .
All those wishing to furnish their tar
bles with the best meat, can do so by
making arrangements with Mr. James S.
Hammond, our present market-man. He
kills fine beef, and is very accommoda
ting. Mr. Hammond is an excellent
butcher, and if you buy from him, you
will be pleased. He furnishes this mar
ket with beef, mutton etc. His market
mornings, are Tuesdays and Saturdays,
Speak beforehand, come early, or else
you may leave empty-handed.
Personal.
We were honored one day last week, in
our office, with a visit from our young
friend, J. S. Jones, who is in the house
of Dozier & Walton. Jim has been un
well for some time, but we are glad to
announce is speedily regaining his usual
health and before long we hope, will be
“himself again.”
Hack Line to Franklin Springs.
Mr. J. E. Campbell, announces that he
is prepared with, a comfortable convey
ance to accommodate those wishing to
visit Franklin Springs. Trips made
from Elberton to the Springs on Mon
days, returning Tuesdays.
Oftener if desired. See advertisement

lost cow, in another column.
The Absent Editor.
Along with the “mountain party,’”
went the editor of the Gazette. We are
glad he’s gone, not because we were tir
ed of him, far from it; but we are glad, be
cause he, with the rest of that party had
a “mountain on his brain,” and we want
ed him to get rid of it. We have only
to add, that we are sadly in need of his
services, and hope as soon as he gets
the “mountain” removed he will come
home. We are so tired of being the ed
itor.
The Ohickenzoodoodledum-ty.
This disease has been making sad hav
oc among the chickens of this county, we
regret to say. We are more partial to
these vegetables, than any other of the
numerous vegetable raised in the gar
dens, [for they’ll raise themselves there,
if you don’t keep their wings cropped.]
Therefore, we advise the people about
town, to be careful about purchasing
these fowls, as the disease may be con
tagious, and we imagine that you would
feel rather queer, if you had the ehicken
zoodoodledum.
Honey, Vinegar, etc.
Mr. Alfred Adams, begs leave to an
nounce that he has the Family Rights,
or receipts for making honey, vinegar,
&c., and will be plesed to serve the pub
lic generally. Look for him.
WILSON’S HERALD OF HEALTH.
We are in receipt of No 2 of this new
quarterly, devoted to the diffusion of
health-preserving knowledge among the
people, and to true science and progress.
The editor has entered upon a broad
field; and if he gives the proper direction
to the work, with energy the publication
will prove successful. The publisher,
Jno. Stainback Wilson, M. D., has our
best wishes. This is another Atlanta
publication.

Finest Apples of the Season.
We are indebted to our former “devil”
for some very luscious apples for which
he will accept our thanks. We sincerely
trust that he may ever be blest with ap
ples as fine, and we hope also that he
may ever retain the spirit that he now
has, an “appreciative” regard and thought
fulness for the printer.
Weather, Crops, etc.
For the last few weeks the season has
been very favorable for cropa The rain
that has fallen, some think insufficient to
benefit the crops materially, but we speak
only from the observation of the expres
sion on the farmer’s countenance, and
that says we Ijjive had enough to make
us feel better, and we consider this a
good criterion.
“The Burial of God."
We publish a poem this week, under
the above caption, which we think will
bear careful perusal.

The Elberton Express.
We notice that our energetic towns
man, Dr. H. C. Edmunds, who has the
contract for carrying the mail to Wash
ington, Abbeville, and Hartwell, has had
a very neat little mail wagon made for
the purpose, which is the neatest vehicle
of the kind we have ever seen in a coun
try town. It is neatly lettered, bearing
the -words “U. S. Mail, Elberton Express.’’

Mb. Editor : In the absence of a bet
ter correspondent, allow me a few words
relative to the celebration at Flatwoods
Academy, on the 24th instant.
That excellent neighborhood, has late
ly organized a Lodge of Good Tem
plars, No. 228, and the festivities of the
day, were under the auspices of the mem
bers thereof.
This is a portion of old Elbert, unex
celled by any part of the habitable Globe,
in point of intelligence, sobriety, good
order, and good cheer for the outer or
inner man.
The programme of the day, as an
nounced by the courteous young gentle
man, Mr. Joe Worley, was first, an ad
dress by the Rev. J. A. Parker.
Mr. Parker illustrated scientifically,
the necessity of temperance in all things,
of body, mind and souL The absolute
requirement, that we should be temper
ate in the use of alcoholic and.spirituous
liquors, and use them lawfully as we
would any other medicine. He beauti-
"V \
fully animadverted to the prevalence of
intemperance, and pointed to the blessed
religion of the Bible, as the only sure
cure and preventive.
His speech was well prepared, elo
quently and earnestly delivered, and full
of pathos, and illustrative metaphor.
The Rev. A G. Worley, next address
ed the audience in his inimitable style.
He impressed upon those present, the
prevalence of the hydra-headed monster,
intemperance, and the many reasons why
it should be suppressed, and the manner
of putting it down. His speech like all of
his efforts was “hard to be equalled, im
possible to be excelled.”
The humor in it at one time, convulsed
with laughter, and in the next, his elo
quent pathos moved to tears.
In the next act your reporter played a
conspicuous part; i. e: the dinner. We
must say we have never seen more or
better edibles at any public festival, and
we might add we have never seen said
edibles better attended to.
The crowd in attendance was not very
large, but an interested one.
After dinner, quite a pleasant hour or
so was spent lounging around with the
boys, chatting with the girls and listen
ing to the older persons.
An overhanging cloud, threatened
rain, and the crowd disbanded early,
much to the displeasure of the younger
persons, who were loth to leave a spe t
where so much pleasure was to be
found.
The festival was in every sense a gala
occasion, and one long to be remember
ed ; but who expected any tiling else ?
The Flatwoods were never known to
fail in any undertaking, and could not
fail, when actuated by the glorious cause
of Temperance. Success to the Lodge,
happiness to the neighborhood.
The crops are generally good, always
so, where they have been worked. Cot
ton is fine, but com is rather in the
“dumps.”
The crop of small grain, turned out
tolerably well.
Fanners are paying more attention to
smgH grain than formerly. We heard of
onq Rev. Mr. "Worley who raised more
than seven hundred bushels of oats.
We heard many inquiries about R. R.
prospects, but not having seen our friend
from Atlanta, were not able to tell them
the “glad tidings of great joy,” that
small roads can be bought at three hun
dred dollars per mile.
But enough. Tours

For the Gazette.]
Somewhere, July 17th, 1873.
Mh. Editob—Deab Sib : Did you ever
ride on the hack from Elberton to Lex
ington? If you never did, there is a
depth of misery which you have never
reached and of which you can form but
a faint conception. I believe the Good
Book asks the question, Who can add
one cubit to his stature? A ride on that
htck will certainly take away an inch or
two from that stature. If lam correct
ly informed, you have nothing to spare
from your heighth, and if you do not
wish to become a second edition of Tom
Thumb, I would advise you not to ride
frequently on that line.
Aleck is a clever, accommodating, good
fellow, but he has “a mighty poor” thing
for a hack. Such were my reflections
while being jostled and jolted up and
down, from side to side, plunged forward,
jerked backwards, and generally usedup
and down and on both sides. Further
reflection has convinced me that the hack
was not so bad after all, but that the
roads were in a terrible condition, and
that the slumbers of our driver of the
African de scent were much disturbed
by the aforesaid inequalities, ditches,
gullies, &c. f in the road.
We have found examinations, exhibi
tions, commencements, and such like, the
order of the day every where. Cheney
was in full blast at Lexington Depot,
Lyle aspreading himself at Bairdstown,
Sanford at Penfield, someone else at
Woodstock, another man at Crawfords
ville, and so on, and so on. The negroes
have caught the fever, and such blazes
of eloquence have gone up all over the
land and country, I fear the moisture in
the atmosphere has been consumed by
the flames to such an extent, that we will
be afflicted with a terrible drouth.
The crops along the line of the rail
road appear to have been worked out,
and they looked tolerably clean; but,
the cotton was very small. Away from
the line of the road I found them no so
clean, and in some places, it was difficult
to tell whether a crop of hay or cotton
was being produced. It seemed to me
the hay would certainly be the more pro
fitable of the two. The upland com,
where it has been worked, looks very fine
indeed.
I have conversed with farmers from
Oglethorpe, Green, Taliafero, Putnam,
and other counties, and they all represent
the prospect for a cotton crop as worse
than any year since the close of the
war.
What is to become of the country?
The farmers say they are sinking money
every year ; the merchant says he has sold
his goods on time and that he is ruined;
the lawyer is starving; the physician has
ridden his horse till he is too poor to
make a shadow; and no one has any mon
ey and no one expects to have any.
We are not then in a condition to
adopt as our motto, a couplet, which I
heard a gentleman quote a few days ago
as the subject for a speech. He says he
found in Shakespeare, Milton, or some
other great poet, he could not tell where
exactly, but he certainly had seen it
somewhere.
The couplet reads somehow thus—
“ What shall Betsy and I do, I’ll tell you what
we’ll do
We’ll paddle our own canoe, and when we can,
save a dollar or two.”
I do not know that we need be alarm
ed. The cry of “hard times and worse
coming” has been heard ever since I
can remember and I presume will con
tinue to be heal'd to the end of time, and
yet I have never known any one starved
to death, and do not remember a time
when people did not wear fine clothes, if
they could get them.
Mi*. Editor I think I have done well to
write this much, with the thermometer
at 95 and the flies almost as numerous
as when sent as a plague upon Egypt.

vey of the route down the Savannah liv

Watermelons are becoming so plenti
ful about here, that we expect to hear of
somebody’s son being “pisoned” soon.

PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER
HAS been tested in every variety of climate,
and by almost every nation known to Ameri
cans. It is the constant companion and inesti
mable friend ot the missionary and the traveler,
on the sea or land, and no one should travel on
our lakes or rivers without it.
Since the PAIN KILLER was first introduced,
and met with such extensive sale, many Lini
ments, Reliefs , Panaceas , and other Remedies have
been offered to the public, but not one of them
has attained the truly enviable standing of the
PAIN KILLER.
Whv is This So P
It is because Davis’ Pain Killer is what it
claims to be—a reliever of pain. ITS MERITS
ARE UNSURPASSED.
If you are suffering from Internal Pain, 20 to
30 drops in a little water will almost instantly
cure you. • There is nothing to equal U for
Colic, Cramps, Spasms, Heart-burn, Diarrhea,
Dysentery, Flux, Wind in the Bowels, Sour
Stomach, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache,&c.
In sections of the country were Fever and
Ague prevails there is no remedy held in great
er esteem. Persons traveling should keep it by
them. A few drops in water will prevent sick
ness or bowel troubles from change of water.
From foreign countriesthecallsforPAiN Kill
er are great. It is found to cure CHOLERA
when all other remedies fail.
When used EXTERNALLY, as a Liniment,
nothing gives quicker ease in Burns, Cuts, Brui
ses, Sprains. Stings from Insects,[and Scalds. It
removes the fire, and the wound heals like ordi
nary sores. Those suffering from RHEUMAT
ISM, GOUT, or NEURALGIA, if not a positive
cure, they find the Pain Killer gives them relief
when no other remedy will. It gives instant re
lief from ACHING TEETH.
Every Housekeeper should keep it on hand,
and apply it on the first attack of any pain- II
will give satisfactory relief, and save hours of
suffering.
Do not trifle with yourselves by testing un
tried remedies. Be sure you call for and get the
genuine Pain Killer, as many worthless nos
trums are attempted to be sold on the great rep
utation of this valuable medicine.

Every year increases the populari
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring Gray
or Faded Hair to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff and, by its tonic prop
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
frows thicker and stronger. In
aldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create anew growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,
State Assay er of Massachusetts, says,
“The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the Best Prepa
