THE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL,
Great Inducements Offered To All Who Will
Attend—To Oomo Off Friday Night.
On Monday last a fair and handsomo
delegation of the Sewing Club came to
thia office aim asked us to announce
that the ladies of their Society had de
cided to have a Strawberry Festival on
next Friday night. With pleasure wo
call the attention of the public to the
time for the feast, and bespeak for the
enterprising Club a large attendance.
The end that tins organization hats in
view, and is endeavoring to advance is
too well known and commendable to re
quire comment from ns at this time, and
we feel certain that the town and vicini
ty will exhibit their appreciation of the
efforts of the ladies by being present at
the entertainment on next Friday night.
The festival will be had at the hall now
occupied by Madame Louis, the dancing
teacher, just one door above The Ga
rETTE office. Everybody remember Fri

Lev. J. H. Grogan, at the residence of
the bride’s father, on Wednesday even
ing. May 15th.
The wedding was largely, attended,
and was a brilliant affair. May their
walk through life and they be made to
realize the following:
“There's a bliss beyond all that the minstrel has
told,
When two, that are link’d in one heavenly
tie.
With heart never changing, and brow never
cold,
Love on thro’ all ills, and love gii till they
die, ,
One hour of a passion so sacred is worth
Whole ages or heartless and wandering bliss;
And Oh ! if there be an Elysium on earth,
It is this—it is this 1

SUICIDE!
A LADY TAKES HER LIFE WHILE HER
HUSBAND IS AT CHUEOH.
An Entire Community Thrown into Mourning.
When we are called upon to chronicle
an event like that which occurred in our
county on Sunday last, our pen falters
in its task, and our thoughts, through
deep sympathy for a mourning house
hold and a distressed neighborhood, re
fuse to be arranged in systematic form.
Although hardly a week passes without
heralding a case of self-destruction else
where, we have never before in uur ex
perience here as a journalist been called
upon to record a case in Elbert, and it
is therefore the more sad and shocking.
The day, too—the holy Sabbath—God’s
day—when all nature should be at peace
—a day especially on which sinful mftn
should, with mind clothed in serene con
tent, look from nature up to nature’s
God—when all was clad in the most en
chanting habiliments of smiling spring,
a season which presents all attractions
to woo the soul to life and love and
hope, to win us to noblest impulse gen
erous minds can feel. The day, we say,
when all should study the commands a
wise Jehovah has laid upon his creatures,
instead of ushering our souls, without a
call from Him into lii3 holy presence.
All these considerations inspire awe and
cause reflection upon man’s imperfec
tions and the holy attributes of his Cre
at or.
On Sunday last Mr. James G. Eber
hart, a n was his custom, attended morn
ing service at Antioch church, accompa
nied by his daughter. As his wife was
in bad health he had objected to going,
but she insisted he should go, and he
felt less hesitation than he otherwise
would from the fact that a gentleman
who was stopping there temporarily was
going to remain while Mr. Eberhart was
absent. This gentleman says that soon
after the husband left Mrs. Eberhart
went up stairs and remained nearly two
hours, when she came down and went
through the room whoro he was sitting, j
which was the last he ever saw of her in •
life. The remainder of the tragedy we !
gather from the appearance of things in !
the locality where it occurred. Procur
ing a rope, she went to the smoke-house,
where she with evident coolness prepar
ed for the fatal deod. Shj# unfastend the
collar around her neck and pinned it to
a meal sack suspended on the wall, then
with the aid of a ladder she ascended to
and seated herself upon one of the joists.
Hero she adjusted the rope around her
neck, fastened the other end to a rafter
and then let herself easily down. When
found life had ebbed away. The hands
were tightly clenched, the ueck was not
broken, but little strain about the eyes,
and the tongue but slig .tly protruding.
Returning home from church, with
thoughts perhaps intent upon the word
of God, the husband’s and daughter’s
shook when the dreadful death was
discovered may, by some stretch of fan
cy, be imagined, but not by puny pen
described. The body was taken down
and every effort made at recuscitation,
but without avail —the casket was rob
bed of its j H.vel—the soul had gone to
its homo.
Mrs. Eberhart had been in bad health
for several years, and of late, it is said,
has been subject to spells of mental ab
erration, under one of which attacks it
is supposed she was laboring when she
committed the deed wo have recorded.
Sue was a daughter of the late Henry
P. Brawner. and bad large family con
nections in the county. She leaves two
children —daughters : the elder the wife
of John G. Doadwyler, of Madison coun
ty, and one about nineteen years of age,
unmarried.
Mr. Eberhart is well known through
out the county as one of our most intel
ligent and substantial citizens, and our
readers with one accord will sympathise
with him in this terrible affliction. To
attempt the offer of consolation would be
little less than mockery, but our feelings
for him are sincere, as our acquaintance
with him has but increased our respect,
for him with the growth of years.

Frogress of the Railroad,
The work of gx - ading on the i - ailroad

entire work will probably be finished in

about $4 will be saved by this plan to all
who hire hands or substitutes when the
time for working comes.

Foil Dead.
A lady by the name of Brown, aged
82, fell dead in Franklin county last Eri
day. She lived in the locality known as
Gum Log Law Ground. In apparently
good health, she walked out in the yard
and, without a cry or groan, fell to the
ground, and in a few moments life was
totally extinct.

To be called on at a large gathering

was the old man up stairs, screaming
at the top of his voice, “Young man, I
don’t care how much you talk to my
daughter, but if you break them hinges
it will cost you seventy-five cents.” But
the boy had the stamps and kept on
swinging.

this probably the great picnic of the

LYNCH LAW Ilf LffiDUFFIE COUNTY.
On Wednesday night last unknown
persons, said by the victims to be three
in number, went to a cabin occupied by
some negroes, on the plantation of Capt.
Thos. A. Hamilton, and, as the negroes
report, under pretense of desiring their
asistance in fixing a broken down wa
gon, induced then to come out of the
house, when one of the party presented
a gun at the captives, remarking, “We’ve
got you now,” and ordered them (a man
and woman, the latter in a critical con
dition) to fallow them. Taking them
some distance they halted, and, after
striking a few blows, released
him, with the threat that if he did not
leave the plantation before Saturday
night he would be killed. The negro
woman, notwithstanding her condition,
did not fare s® well, for her arms and
shoulders present evidence of severe
treatment. The facts having been made
known to Gapt. Hamilton, bo concluded,
as the cabin occupied by these negroes
was at a remote distance from his main
settlement, for their better protection, to
move them to his quarter. Owing to
their treatment and threats made against
them, it was with reluctance they con
sented to remain on the plantation, even
with the promise of protection. The
parties who committed the dead pulled
down the fence and went across Capt
H.’s field, and their course, going and
returning, was traced by the tracks of
of their horses

disaster. Mr. Leonhardt, his wife and
little daughter were on board the illfated
vessel. Mr. Loonhardt is a well known
citizen of Augusta, and a member of the

The mortality of American cities fo
1874, as reported by the Massachusetts
Beard of Health, occasions -considerable
comment in the journals. The lowest
average on the listjis St. Louis, 16.27 per
1,000 of the population ; then following
Buffalo, 18.46; Milwaukee, 12.00; Phil;
adolphia, 29.54; Washington, D. C.,
19.72; Providence, 10.86; Chicago
20,31; Baltimore, 21.14 ; Detroit, 21 69 ;
Boston, 23.00 ; Brooklyn, 24.46 ; Pitts
burg, 24.69 ; New' York, 21.61; Newark,
29.16. In commenting upon this tho
St. Louis Democrat calls attention to
the remarkable differences caused by
more ample accommodations in Philadel
phia and to the contrast between that
city and New York- But it seems that
the average number of persons to a
dwelling is higher there than in some
other cities, namely; Cleveland, 5.5;
Detroit, 5.4; Washington, 5.6; San
Francisco, 5.7 ; New Orleans, 5.7 ; Phil
delpbia, 6. Tho highest averages are;
New York, 14.7; Cincinnati, 8.8; Brook
lyn, 8.6 ; Boston, 8.4 ; St. Lonis, 7.8 ;
Providence, 7.4; Newark, 7.3. Our
western cities are exempte from the evils
of the foreign influx, while they get all
the benefits of it; the soaboard cities
have to cope with these burdens, and
their statistics show the results. Other
wise tha Atlantic cities are remarkably
I healthy.
THE OCEAN HORROR.
The worst intelligence which first
camo 'to ns of the wreck of the stc*m
stiip Schiller has been fully confirmed.
One of the most magnificent vessels in
the passenger service has been totally
destroyed and nearly, if not quite, three
hundred lives lost. It is difficult to ful
ly realize horrors of such a calamity; it
is difficult to realize that such whole
sale homicide is possible in this day of
advanced knowledge end science. So
far as the reports received show thi-ro is
no reson to believe that the Captain of
the ill fated vessed was to blame or that
it was possible for human skill to have
prevented the disaster or to have averted
its tragical results. The Captain was
unable to get his reckoning, the thick
fog prevented the danger from being
seen, a 'panic possessed the passeger
and crew and the heavy sea mads ovary
escape from the wreck a miracle.
