The Turkish minister received the
following telegram from the Grand
Vizier: In the presence of the unani

Khan has been dethroned to day, and
his majesty Sultan Murad, heir pre

Effendi proclaimed sultan.
The dethroned sultan is kept under
guard in a kiosque at extremity of the
seraglio. The ministers informed Mu

The Pic-Nic.
One of the gala occasions of the sea
son was the picnic last Saturday at the
Paragon mills.
The proprietor, Mr. P. S. F. Bruce,
kindly consented for the young people
to while away the tedious hours around
his beautiful mill, and Mr. J. W. Hayne,
the gentlemanly miller, placed the whole
buildings and grounds at their disposal.
The crowd in attendance was not as
large as at previous assemblages of this
nature, but included many of the elite of
Elberton and vicinity.
Paragon mills are about a mile from
our little village on a beautiful fall fa
miliar to our school-boy remembrance
under the name of “The Shoals.”
Two winding rivulets blend their rip
pling streams immediately above the
mill, and within a short distance anoth
er laughing brook joins with running
laughter the current that “winds about,
and in and out, to join the brimming
river.”
The last stream is shaded by many an
o’er-hanging beach, beneath whose urn
brageous folds are found rustic seats,
whose very appearance invites the utter*
ance of the silly nothings—so simple
and yet so sweet, and which go to make
up the total of happiness to the hero of
an incipient mustache, and the miss in
her teens.
These shady retreats were extensively
frequented, and doubtless many vows of
eternal fidelity were pledged, “sub teg
minia patulse fagi.”
But as warm as the day was the Terp
sichorean art engaged the attention of
a large proportion of the assembled
party.
Under the bewitching strains of the
Elberton band merry forms glided to
and fro keeping time with tiny teet to
the ravishing music, and dancing thrill
ing pains through the gallant beaux
present.
The dance whether right or wrong, is
at least healthful pastime, and if it be
morally wrong, is of that kind of impro
priety described as “naughty but nice.”
The dancing was W'ell executed and
the participants wore countenances ra
diant with joy, while the woods around
rang with their merry laughter.
But the merriment was soon dispers
ed, and upon the faces of those before
so jubilant could be seen depicted doubt
but determination, as they beheld the
dinner table piled with all the delicacies
and substantial the country afforded.
But though dubious of the result every
one appeared to do their best towards
exterminating and destroying the food
so temptingly spread before them.
The conflict was close and long, but
the dinner conquered at a tremendous
cost, for much the larger portion was
consumed, and a quantity badly lacera
ted, torn and wounded.
After dinner the sports of the morning
were resumed, and continued until the
shades of evening began to grow near,
when with sighing regrets we separated.
This was indeed as pleasant a pic-nic
as one could wish, and we think we echo
the sentiment of every one present when
we return thanks to the originators, the
generous proprietor, the courteous mil
ler, and every other person who contrib
uted in the slightest to the days’ festiv
ities.
The Good Templars.
Last Friday night the I. O. G. T.
order in this place gave a meeting in
their hall which was full of interest and
well attended.
During the day the young ladies of
the female school with the assistance of
the young men about town procured
evergreens and flowers, and wove into
wreathes and festoons with which they
decorated the hall in a most beautiful
style.
At an early hour the assembly began
to gather, and the meeting was opened
by Mr. J. P. Shannon, acting in the
capacity of Worthy Chief, which position
is now filled by Mr. G. W. Haslett. Af
ter prayer by the Chaplain, Itev. G. R
Loehr, and song, the oratory of the oc
casion commenced.
Mr. J. T. Osborn, was the first speak
er, and he handled the subject in his own
inimitable style.

eloquent manner delivered an appro
priate address.
Mr. R. A. Bromberg, made a speech
in which he related a narrative that he
thought apropos. He is zealous in the
cause.
The speakers were listened to with
marked attention, and when the com
pany dispersed no one felt the worse for
having attended.

A Brace of Veterans.
Capt. Gaines Thompson a soldier of
the war of 1812, was in Elberton on
Monday, as lively as a bird, and ap
parently little thinking of death. He
entered the war at the beginning as a
Ist lieutenant, and arose to the rank of
captain, and, with the exception of about
four months, was in the field during the
entire war. He is 89 years of age, and
is in comparatively good health.
This calls attention to another of our
old citizens, Mr. Harmon Lovinggood,
who says he was five years old at the
Declaration of Independence, which
makes him 105 years old. His health
is also quite good, but he never goes
away from home. The old gentleman
has never taken a chew of tobacco or
smoked a pipe, and is said to be as merry
as a cricket when he talks of “Auld lang
syne.”

A Suspicious Character in Madison County.
A man w'ho gives his name as George
Reeves crossed into Madison county one
day last week by Daniel’s ferry and ob
tained lodging at Mr. Daniel’s house for
the night. The negro ferryman was
called up during the night, and he was
asked by Reeves to say, if any one in
quired for him, that he had passed on the
evening before, promising the negro $5
if he complied with his request. Several
other suspicious circumstances occurred
during the night, all of which failed to
be brought to Mr. Daniel’s attention un
til the guest had taken his departure the
next morning. As soon as he learned
of the strange doings of the lodger, Mr.
D, securing the assistance of several of
his neighbors, went in pursuit of the
man, and they followed him into Jackson
county before coming up with him.
Through the entire pursuit the actions
of Reeves were as suspicious as they
were at Daniel’s house. He would in
quire the road in a certain direction, and
when he got out of sight of the person
from whom he obtained information, he
would ride very fast and go in a differ
ent direction from that he was inquiring
about, leaving room to suppose he was
in fear of pursuit. When arrested he
was carried to Danielsvilleand lodged in
jail. The only account he would give of
himself was that he was from Edgefield,
S. C, where he had killed two of the
negroes engaged in the Harmon murder.
He said he was raised about Lexington,
Ga, but could give replies to but few
inquiries respecting citizens in that
locality. He was lodged in jail last
Friday, where he now is. He has been
visited by many people, but he will not
answer their many questions, stating
that he had already told enough to hurt
himself.
Reeves, as he calls himself, is about five
feet eight inches high, dark complexion,
black hair, head slightly bald, heavy light
brown moustache and imperial, blue
eyes, supposed to weigh about one hun
dred and thirty live or forty pounds, two
small lumps on the back of right-hand,
two scars on the right wrist. He rode
a chestnut sorrel stallion, with blaze face,
heavy flax mane and tail, and supposed
to be from 8 to 12 years old, on tho pony
order.
Reeves is said to be quite intelligent.
The people believe he is in some way
mixed up in the Harmon murder, about
which he has had a great deal to pay, and
carries with him last week’s Press and
Banner which gives a full account of
that fearful tragedy. It is said that a
white man was in some way connected
with the murder, and who knows but
this may be the man.

OUR WASHINGTON GETTER.
FROM OUB REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, D. C., May 29, 1876.
The proceedings in Congress Inst week were
not of great interest. The Senate discussed the
Belknap case all the week and will come to a
vote to-day. The Committee on appropriations
reported the bill to pay the salaries of the Leg
islative, Executive and Judicial officers. Over
one thousand amendments were made in the
House bill. All the salaries were put back to
the present figures, and all the reductions made
by the House were stricken out. The Republi
cans of the Senate are determined not to per
mit any retrenchment in expenses. They need
the money to run the present campaign. The
conference commit! e on the consular and diplo
matic bill could not agree and the House dis
charged it The prospects are that there will
be a dead lock on these bills, and that the first
ot July will arrive before any conclusion can be
reached. The Democrats in the House should
stand firm and refuse to give way one inch.
The country will sustain them in their honest ef
forts to reduce the expenses of the government,
and will administer a fitting rebuke to the Re
publicans in the November election.
General Banning called up his bill to re-or
ganize the army, on Saturday. It provides for
a saving cf millions annually, by reducing the
number of regiments and consequently of officers,
and does away with the distinction of white and
colored regiments, allowing entlistmcnts of
either color in any regiment. The Republicans
commenced filibustering and continued it until
the House adjourned.
To break the force of the corruption proven
in almost every department of the government,
a charge has been made that Mr. Speaker Kerr
some years ago received six hundred dollars for
securing the appointment of a man named Green
ta the position of lieutenant iu the army. Of
course there is not a word of truth in the
charge, tho only foundation for it, being that
Mr. Kerr recommended Green and President
Johnson appointed him.
The plot in favor of Conkling, by the terms
of which Don Cameron was made Secretary of
War has failed and the reaction has been so
great that Conkling is virtually out of the race.
It is said that Senator Morton was specially in
dignant, and had some sharp words with Presi
dent Grant on tue subject, reminding him of his
promise not to make any changes in the cabinet
with the view of helping any of the aspirants.
The change of ownership in the New York
World, and its very marked change in relation
to the candidates before the St. Louis conven
tion is the cause of much gossip. Both the
World and Express, the two leading Democratic
papers of New York, are now set down as advo
cating Senator Bayard. This opposition at
home weakens Tilden and he may well exclaim
“I have been slaughtered in the house of my
friends.”
The situation in Europe is alarming. England
refuses to accede to the terms agreed upon at
the imperial conference at Berlin, to settle the
Turkish question. To emphasise her refusal she
sends a powerful re-inforcement to her fleet in
the Mediterranean, and more troops to Malta
and Gibralter. France, Spain and Italy side
with her. In the meantime Austria is concen
trating troops on the lower Danube, and Russia
is putting her army i.. perfect order, while Ger
many launches new iron .clads and an infernal
machine in the wav of a torpedo boat that is
propelled by engines of a thousand horse power.
It would seem that northern and eastern Europe
is about to enter into war with southern and
western Europe, and try to force its way to the
“summer sea.” Should war ensue it Will be
the most gigantic the world ever saw, and would
necessarily benefit this country to a very great
extent. The strongest indication that war is
coming is in the condition of the money market
everywhere, in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin
and Petersburg there is a flutter among the
money kings and all kinds of European securi
ties are dropping. If this continues long im
mense sums of gold will seek investments
here and relieve the financial pressure. So that
some good would come from even so direful an
end as a general European war. Dbm.
The Struggles of Life, —From the cradle to
the grave life is full of struggles. Some strug
gle for riches, some for pleasure, some for hon
or, and others struggle to regain that gieatest
of all blessings—health—and in their efForts
they often resort to means which placesitfartlier
and farther out of their reach. They take drastic
compounds, which shock the system, or violent
minerals which poison by degress and thus the
vital energies are weakened and the very foun
tains oi life polluted. Nature provides remedies
for every disease, and it is from the vegetable
kingdom that Dr. Tutt’s Liver Pills derive their
ingredients and in their use there is the happy
certainty that if they do no good, they do no
harm. But of their efficacy, thousands who
have been cured of diseased liver, kidneys, spleen,
Stomach and bowels, live to-day to testify. 2t
Answers to Coruespoxdhnts. —ln answer to
“Alphabetical,” in your last issue, for a remedy

mend Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery,”
if taken according to directions, fot it has been
thoroughly tried in my family, and the results
were glorious. “Alphabetical” must not expect
one bottle to do the work—my wife took three
bottles before she could discover any change,
but after the third bottle every dose seemed to
strengthen the lungs, and now she is well and
hearty. If “Alphabletical” will write to me I
will get witnesses to the above.
