GEORGIA GLIMPSES.
Ten Lagrangers recently visited Atlanta*
and were so splendidly entertained at the
Kimball House that they make the following
card in the Reporter :
We, the undersigned citizens of La*.
Grange, Ga., having visited Atlanta on the
28d Inst, and stopped at the H. 1. Kimball
House, take great pleasure in testifying to
the merits of that house. The manner iu
which it is kept proves conclusively that Col.
Hicholls is an adept in the art in which so
few are proficient—namely: keeping a hotel,
while bis assistants Messrs. Lee and Jen
nings are unrivaled lor the efficiency they
display in their respective departments.—
Having stopped at some of the best hotels in
the Unitad States, we have no hesitation in
aaying that the H. L Kimball House will
compare favorably with any of them, in alt
its departments; and we moat cordially re
commend it to the traveling public as every
way wortey of patronage. We deem it prop-'
er to farther state that this card is not only
unsolicited by Col Nioholls. bul b published
without his knowledge, as a token of onr
appreciation of the elegant manner in whieh
we were entertained by him/*
Hawkinsville is now the murder center for
all Southern Georgia. The Dispatch of the
36th chronicles two homioides and a pistoll
ing affair in a corn field. John Dozier
atrociously murdered L C. Coleman, at Ab
beville, Wilcox county, ou the . night of the
ICth.
Daniel Delamar shot and killed Bristow
Delemar, in his own yard, ou the 25tb.—
Joe Sanders and a negro named Tom Col
Her, while plowing had some words because
the negro did not want to plow as many rows
as Sanders. Collier drew his pblol which
was discharged, whereupon Senders fired
upon him inflicting a flesh wound. “i*ve
got yon have I,** was Collier’s only remark,
and drove on as if nothing bad happened.
Three of the negroes who robbed Gov
Shorter’s residence, in Enfaula, on Friday
night the 20th, were discovered prowling
about Cuthbcrt the following evening, and
by the aid of John Ellington, an iudustrious
colored man, were enticed into the city where
two of them were arrested—the third escap
ing under fire. The Appeal says.* “They
were well equipped for the business ot bur
glary—having a brace and several bits, a
hatchet, chisel, several keys, etc., besides
small pocket pbtols, and large knives.
The Sheriff carried them to Eufaula*
where they were identified, and lodged in
jail.
The Appeal publishes the last of a series
of letters by Herbert Fielder, on the condi
tion of Southwestern Georgia. This con
cluding letter begins as follows:
“If those who have read the previous let*
ters agree with me, thoy are of the opinion
that:
Reduction of our population, by immigra
tion from the country, without a correspond
ing accession cf people to it, will decrease
iroduclions, throw nnoccupied and * un-
ghi property on the market, reduce (he
price to ruinons rates, and cause a general
decline in material resources and power
that will be felt in its effects on the body, the
mind and the morals of onr people.
Self-evident propositions.
The Georgia Forester details the purlieu*
lars of a “free fight,** at Alapaha. on Saturn
day, the 21st. Henry Gray and Isaac Fort,
oitixenb of Berrien, popular and industrious
men, had a land dispute, and assembled their
clansmen for a regular old fashioned fisti
cuff arbitrament. Jnst as the battle was
white-beat, the court ordered its baliff, Mo.
ses Tucker to separate the combatants and
restore peace. Wnen he took hold of Gzwy,
who had the best of it, Flem Gray, a kins*
man, ran up and gave Tucker a severe cut
jnst below the hips. The Magistrate at
once issued a warrant and Flem Gray was ar.
rested, and ordered to jail, or to give bond
in $1,000. Tnoker wss carried home on a
poll car,' and the prisoner wss carrie^ to
C&pt. Lake’s house, where he was guarded
that night, and returned by his friends* early
Sunday morning The cutting was -uncalled
fer and very properly excites the indignation
of every, good citilzen.
The Early County News of the 20th, chrou
ioles the death of Col. Thomas F. Jones, of
Bluffton, Clay county, on the 14th fast.
The “Early Guards,” “Cuthhert Guards,”
and the “Fort Gaines Guards,” will meet at
Fort Gaines on the 1st day of May next, to
organize a battalion of Infantry.
The great rain storm played havoc with
the mill dams in Early,—every one in the
county being swept away except the one oli
the May plantation. Roads and bridges and
plowed lands all suffered beyond precedent.
The Columbus Enquirer gives river data
as follows :
The distance from this place to Apalachi
cola is reckoned at 400 miles, in round uum
bers, and the bed of the river here to Le 216
feet above the level of (bo bey. This gives a
fall of half a foot to the mile. Water rnns
easily in a fall of three inches to the mile.
The Enquirer publishes Mr. Hill’s great
speech before the Historical Society, and. in
its comments, says:
••This address is exceedingly interesting,
not only because of its eloquence and vigor
of style, bnt even more wo on account of Mr.
Hill’s statements of important facts connect
ed with our late Confederate history and
straggle. The close personal and party re
l&tiona between himself and President Davis
made him cognizant of facts and influences
not revealed to the great mass of the people,
and we may therefore regard him as speak
ing with a full knowledge of what lie affirms.
It is true that one or two of the statements
made by Mr. Hill have stirred up controversy,
bnt they could have hardly been more au«*
thoritativety made by any one else except the
persons immediately concerned as actors,
and until denied by them we must consider
them well supported.
The Thom aston Herald reports ninety-eight
homesteads in Upson connty.
The Talbolton Standard reports crop pre
parations most favorable. Farmers are in
good spirits, driving ahead, and are planting
full 25 per cent, more corn than heretofore.
Oat and wheat crops arc flourishing, and
promise abundant yield. Great falliug off in
the guano importation, and the s gns are
hopeful.
Hon. M. Van Estes denies that he has
Congressional aspirations, and declares pos
itively that “he don’t want any office of any
kind, and would not conseut to accept any
if it were tendered him by the people.” This
is refreshing from an up-country Georgian
and can only be accounted for on the ground
that Brother Estes has a good thing in a good
newspaper, and prefers to soar with the Eegle
rather than grovel with the groundlines.
The Local of the Eagle waxblesthe spring-
budding tbnaly .*
Spring has burst upon us, and comes upon
the soul like a new existence: The bud on
the tree, tbe blossom on the bongb, the bird
gnshing forth its sweet melody, the perfume
of sweet flowers, and the youngster pressing
his naked sole to terra firma, arc among a few
of those reviving features that indicate the
approach of the season of “ethereal mildness.”
Corn is selling at 80@-85 cents, chickens
at 20 cents, and eggs at 12| in Gainesville.
The wheat crop in North-east Georgia is
looking well.
The Valdosta Times claims {that that vilb?
age shall be consulted in tbe selection of the
next Democratic candidate ior Congress in
the 2d District. The editor insists that she
has the man, but modesty forbids the naming
of him.
Dr Folks, editor of tke Way cross depart
ment of tbe Valdosta Times, was recently
called to see a patient in the conntry,-and
while there was called upou hy't .e woman to
prevent a fight between Dick and. Tom, and
be thus relates his adventure. We italicize
for convenience to the reader : “We lo>t no
time bnt jumped the fence, run with all onr
might and was sooa at the scene of action
On arriving we fouud the belligerents horx
du combat, with clinched fists and teeth looking
daggers at each other. We interposed, and
said, ••Gentlemen, we come to you with the
oliv* brunch of peace, ayd wc are commission
ed by tbe ladies, and in tbeir behalf wccpuie
to beseach you to stop this civil warfare and
stay tbe effusion of blood.” Tom said he
would stop and was ashamed.”
The Reporter supposes that Col. Tom Har
deman will at once pat himself in training
for the gubernatorial race in 1S76. If be
does, he will be hard—very hard—to heat.
A Good Point.—The Hamilton Visitor says:
“Gov. Smith was out examining the North
and South road last Sunday. Wc did not
learn the object of his inspection By the
way, couldn’t the Governor haye made the
trip as well on a weex day ?”
This is a good point, and well taken. We
should be sorry to think ‘the Governor is la
busy that be lias to work on Sunday.
- LaGrange. Reporter. '
Besides, it used to be a suspicious circum
stance for a Georgia Governor to be junket
ing, and wining and dining with Railroad
men who wanted bonds signed.
The LaGrange Reporter has no special ob
jection to our list of Gubernatorial candi
dates, but is waiting for tbe proper time to
come out in favor of the movement of*the
American Sardine Company, for boneless
sardines. Brother Waterman evidently faiK
ed to discover that “the other Smith” was
also a Roman.
The Carrollton Times learns that the Board
of Director** of tbe Griffin and North Alabama"
Railroad, have accepted a proposition from
tho Central Railroad Company to furnish iron
to complete the road to that place, and that
the work will be speedily resumed.
The Blackgbear Georgian is no more- Tbe
owners of the material say they remove-to
Jesup, where they will publish the “JeBnp
Weekly Georgian.” Reasons —the* proprie
tors “couldn't publish an interesting pape^
where tbe-people manifested so little interest
in its success, and another paper might have
been started at Jesup.” Good enough rea«
sons for some publishers, and good enongb
to have justified a hiding place in the Alfa-
maha swamp just below Jesnp.
DELAYED OLIUPSE8.
The New nan Herald is responsible for put
ting three colored nags ou tbe Gubernatorial,
track for 1876*
Mr, 8. P. Shurman, a good citizen, died in
Newnan on the lOlb. Mr. John E Rob nson,
also a citizen of Newnan, aged seventy years,
died in that place on the 12th.
The Herald received a visit from Col. Fit
of tbe Griffin Star, and found out tbaL “hi
is the Dio Lewtt of the Temperance Crusade
for Georgia, and ia now marshaling his female
forces fur a raid. He is also reported as a
Granger, and engaged in. “making valuable
practical experiments in grafting the potato
bird to tbe turnip tree”
The Rome Commeroial, of the iSth. Chron
icles a rumor of the death of Mrs. Maggie E.
Ward, one of tho beat and most useful wo
men of that city.
Tbb Chisolm Cask.—Judge Cowai t of the
City Conrt, refused to bail Gaines Chisolm
and the Herald publishes his reason 03 fol
lows:
My opinion on the question of bail is tha 1
in all cases, tbe circumstances of each case
should be considered; and expediency in
some cases make it both desirable and prop
er; where a defendant is in bad health, and
his life might be endangered by imprison
ment ; or where a jail" was unsafe; or the
meeting of the court where he. would be tried
is distant; or other like circumstances may
make it proper to grant bail even in the
strongest cases. But in Ibis' case none of
these reasons exist. Tbe jail is secure; de
fendant is in good health, he is near his
friends and counsel have ready access, and
above all the Superior Court will meet here
in nineteen or twenty daye; if no trial can
be bad application can be again made for
bail ; and ia view of all these facts I have
determined to refuse bail in the case.
Does Faemixo Pat.—The following from
the Georgia Forester.
Facts fob those wno Believe to the Con
tkaht.
Adel Bebriex Coitbtt, March 2d, 1874
Mr. Editor:—Thinking as yon are publish -
ing a public journal in onr connty, and per-;
haps would like to know w! at some of onr
Berrien Farmers arc doing, I send you the
following. If worthy of a place in your pa
per publish. Mr. 11. J. Parish run three
plows last year and made 26 bales of cotton
avei aging over 500 pounds per bale, no fer
tilizers used only home-made. Also made
550 bushels of corn and 300 bushels of that
was made on 10 acres. About COO bushels
sweet potatoes and seven barrels os syrup.
•He had planted 44 acres in coMon and O
bales were produced on 10 acres. At some
future time perhaps you will get his mode of
farming. Pixkt Woods.
The Editor of the Forester was on the
train that run off the track, just below Jes’
up, on the M. & B R. R. and furnishes a
graphic description of the crash/the wreck,
and the incidents. Not being nui t himself,
he failed to restrain his perception for the
ludicrous, and h&d &'little fun amid the
wailing of the bruised and maimed. He says:
Whilst a serious feeling prevailed the
scene, there were {.arts played which did
not fait to draw laughter trorn us.—we who
had so narrowly escaped serious or perhaps
fatal injury. For instance: passing through
the wreck, wc see the form of a man doubled
up be! wtea the seats, and supposing him to
be seriously hurt approached . him thus.
“Mister, arc you hurt?’ '“Goto ” said
he,—We told him the cars were off (he track.
Said he, ‘Let her run, J dont care n d—n.”
The poor individual was so soundly spleep-
ing under the influence of alcohol that he
knew nothing whatever of the accident till
two hours after his car had turned bottom
upwards. Another:—An old uegro man, io.
his prayer, said: . ‘O, Lord, you hah ben
good ter roe, hut you hab went back on me
dis mornin’.” An 1 nuother:—“Open de
door and let me swim out.” said a young
moke. There was no water within a hun
dred yards of the car.
Fast Time.—The train wlilch carried Col.
Wadley and party to Macon, the other day,
over the Southwestern Railroad, ran to Fort
Valley, distant 71 railco, in 1 hour and 46
minutes. It slopped six limes—once long
enough to send and receive a dispatch ;
.second time, to fakethree-quart ere of:si cord
of wood ; and a third lime, to lake a sideling
and allow a train to pass. Mr. Jale Camp
was conductor- lie mounted the engine aud
made this unprecedented lime. .
[Columbia Sun, 15th.
The Quitman Reporter saysdbe farmers of
^hat section have gone hack on gnano, aud
sdds: “Corn,-peas, potatoes and other arti
cles for home consumption and stock-raising
will be more extensively made iu our county
this season.than any previous year since the
war, ami tor this- reason we think we can
safely predict a better condiliuu for our
planting friends at harvest time than has
prevailed in this section fpr a number of
years.”

GRAND LOTTERY
FOR
Warned—A .Wan, lo Bury.
From tbe AdvertUer-Reputilkon.]
That frequently t hero should appear in
the columns of a daily newspaper, under its
proper heading, “WanlcfJ a Man,’’ is not sur
prising. The demands of the opposite sex
were qnite sufficient- to keep this announce
ment to the public standing all tno' while.
Men are wanted evrry day and in every de
partment of life. Tlry ate wanted to marry,
10 fake charge o r the most complicated busi
ness affairs j 1 they are wanted to engage in
every-department of agricultural and me
chanical labor. In tact, it.would puzzle the
brain of iiic wisest of us to say when'and
where a man, aYeal,’ itv* wan is not wanted
all the time,' The ^politicians • n^ver insert
an advertisement for a man, for the reason
that.they think .they are all men, great men :
while the fact stands tuot in support of Mr.
Mill's pretensions in the Ninth district) that
the great need and demand of the country is
a man—a statesman. But recently the coun
try has been advertised from one end to the
other (gratuitously at that) for a man, and
what is more surprising still, for a dead man.
"To the comprehension of common people,
this thing is utterly inexplicable. Human
philosophy and experiment have failed to
find any use for a dead mau, save to bury
him in the first instance, aud .in the second,
to dissect him for the benefit of science. In
tact it bas # become to be considered iu every
department of .life, from that of the trainer
of prize fighters down to the sexton,- that a
’.cad man is the deadest thing that a live-
inn can have on his hands. Then what can
my one want with a dead man ? The conun
drum, though deep, is not difficult to people
who will stop to think. To bury him of
.course is the natural reply, and is this in
stance the correct one. There is a live man
advertising for a dead man, and the only use
he is going to put him to, is to burry him.
The Cation Kingsley, the great English schol
ar and divine, who has been lecturing North
ern literary societies, and praying for Con
gress in a drawling monotone, wants a man.
Iir fact, he is exceedingly anxious for a man,
a «*ead man, an* American. He desires .to
bury him in Westminster Abbey, alongside
of kings, princes, peers, poets, scholars and
novelists. America lias a pretty fair stock
of dead men on band and^ could easily supply
the demand of oup. visiting cousin, but he
don't want a mummy, an old corpse. He
yearns for a fresh one. And with a liberali
ty characteristic of our people, the American
public and the* American press have respond
ed to his demand with the promptest and
.most unlimited generosity. Massachusetts,
always in front, tenders Butler and Caleb
Cushing; New York is willing to be bereaved
cf Coukling; Virginia, all wrapped about
with xnonrning weeds, would part with
Fayette McMbll in.
Alabama offers a willing sacrifice any man
of the dominant* parly within her borders.
Kentucky, with that great hearted liberality
which characterizes her people, lias de
clared, that though it sundered her heart
strings,'she would give to the grave Blanton
Duncan, “the~ Straighest of the Straights.”
Some irreverent blackguard has arisen and
suggested George Francis Train as the fittest
corpse for the coming funeral. A valetudi
narian, whose stomach has known nothing
but boiled onions for many years, desires
;lbe early interment of Josh Billings. And.
one of the “innocents abroad” has offered
a premium to any one who will consign “Mark
Twain” to an untimely grave. Borne invet
erate toper of “Simmons’ Li*er Inrigorator”
has offered to assassinate the ••Danbury
News man.” and the report comes lo us from
a most reliable source in Atlanta, that there
is a man there, a relict of Wheat’s battalion
of zouaves, who openly declares that he will
knife Colonel Frobel of the great inter-con
tinental Canal for a three dollar and a half
pair of shoes; Bids have been received and
rejected for the taking off of Woodhull and
Claflin. and the detective f«»rce of New York
and Brooklyn is now en the alter for the
wretch who proposed for a passage to Cali**
fornin, to put a pot of nitro-glycerine under
Beecher's pulpit. With pain and mortifies.,
tion beyond expression, we have been brought
face to face with the fact, that a bloody
chourineur. an escaped communist, now out
of practice,'and eager for sport, has proposed
for a trifling remuneration, a mere pittance
of a l patede fois gras,* and a bottle of claret
daily, to retire the late Georgia Legislature
finally.
This last bid is so general and uncertain
in ifs’ nature that it is beyond hope that
Canon Kingsley will accept it. But Georgia
must not suffer thereby. Though the young
est of the thirteen commonwealth?, who
gave lo (he world the orignal constitution of
American liberty, she has never shown stint
in blood or treasure when it came her turn to
support it. Aud it would be a blot on her
escuichenn if she were to falter now. The
demand has been made upon the country for
a dead man, and it. must be responded to,
11 comes from a foreign power rich in re
sources of men aud money, sufficient to en
force the demands by the sacrifice of heca
tombs if it be not responded to individually.
Up lo this present writing no Curtins has ap
peared clad nr glittering mail to save his itu*
j crillcd country by leaping into the grave.
But we know a man. who never steps back
from anv public demand A Georgian alive
to tbe honor of his Stale, aud realty at all
.times to be sacrificed for any and everything
wiih butable and contrite spirit. We tender
to t?anuon Kingsley for his empty scarcoph-
ngtis the Ilun.^Uerbert Fielder, of the county
of Kandolh.

engagement is broken, the parties must

Mode of Drawing:
There will be upon the stage two glass wheels, tbe
contents of which can be seen by all the spectators.—
A committee of two citizens, in no way connected with
the management, aui of undoubted integrity, having
first counted and examindd, wi!l place in the larger
wheel 12,000 tickets exactly alike, and having printed
numbers from one to 12,600, corresponding to all the
tickets sold. A similar committee having first court
ed and examined, will place in tubes precisely alike
the prizes which are placed in the smaller wheel.—
Both wheels will then be turned until their coutents
are’thoroughly mixed. A bqy under-fifteen years,
blindfolded, will then draw from the larger wheel one
of the 12,600 tickets, and holding it up iu full view of
the spectator* and auditors, its number will he called
by the crier appointed for this purpose, so that all
present may hear. This numi>cr will then l»e passed
to the committee of citizens, who will say whether the
number has been rightly called. It will then be pass
ed to a registrar, who will file it and record it upon a
book prepared for that purpose. A l>oy of similar age
will then draw from the smaller wheel one of the tubes
containing a prize, which will he opened and held up
to the view of the spectators and auditors. The value
of the real estate prize will then be calJed, and passed
to the committee, who, after impection. will give It to
another registrar to tile and record. The prize thus
drawn will belong to the ticket hearing the number
drawn immediately before it. -Thus this process will
continue, drawing first from the large wheel contain
ing the tickets, aud then from the small or prize wheel
until all the tubes containing the prizes are drawn
An accurate record of the above will he kept on file
certified to by the c'ommittec of disinterested citizens
officiating. *
'j ne Frizes below three hundred dollars in value are
approximations, and will be determined and pjd as
follows: The numbers of all the tickets sold being
considered in a circle, numerically termed, and having
the highest number, 12,600, and the lowest 1, brought
together, then whatever number in this circle may be
by lot determined to be entitled to the capital prize of
$25,000 will lie taken as a centre, on each side of wh.eh
the next three hundred numbers in numerical order
will be count ed for the ten dollar prizes, thus making
ou the two shies of the capital the six hundred near
est numbers, each of which will he entitled to a real
estate prize of ten dollars. All the tic kets drawing
larger prizes will he excluded, aud the circle extended
to include six hundred ot. both sides of the capital,
t»eing three hundred on each w«ie. it U-ing the purpose
of the management not to duplicate prizes.
MONEY.
A11 money received from sales of tickets will be de
posited iu lank immediately ou receipt of remittances.
TRANSFER OF TITLES.
Within ten days after the drawing, parties putting
real ot ate on tbe market under thL* t-clteuie, are re

The Only Known Medicine
THAT AT THB BAMS TIMS
Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens
the System.
DR. TUTT’S FILLS are composed of many ingre
dients. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry,ih> united as to act together; the one,
through its admixture with other substances, purify
ing and j-urging; while the other is strengthening the
system. Thus thtwe Pills are at the same time a tonic
and a cathartic, a desideratum long sought for by
medical men, hut never before considered. In other
words, they do the work of two medicines and do it
much lid for than auv two we know of, for they re
move Motliing from the system but impurities, so that
while tiu*r purge they aleo strengthen and hence they
cause m» dcinlity aud are followed by o*> reaction.
DR. TUTT’S PILLS have a wonderful influence on
tbe Mood. They not only purify without weakening
it, but they remote all noxious parti Jes from the
chyle U-toie it is o>u/erted Into fluid, sod thus make
iin|miic blond an utter impossibility. As there is uo
debilitation.»o there is no nausea or sickness attend
