SHHMI !*■ m Some hard feeliDgg Wefo cnteitaiued towards the Judges at the Sparta Tour* nameut on last Wednesday, by some of the spectators. Mr. Julian West made eighteen points and was entitled to the first prize. An unknown knight then accepted Lis challenge, and by the de- cbion of lico of the judges tied Mr. West; but according to the testimony of all the knights and the by-stander3, failed by one point to equal him. They then tilt ed Again with the same results and the same decision. Finally the prize was adjudged to the uoknown by one point. No difficulty ensued, but only a cry of partiality was by some raised against the judges. All tbe knights acquiesced in the de- cision, and professed themselves much delighted with the sport. A refreshing shower fell yesterday af. ternoon. It was much needed in town, as the streets were disagreeably dusty. Wo are requested to announce that there will be a meeting of the Fire Com pany to-night—business of importance is to be transacted. A full attendance is desired. A New Depot.—The Central Road is building another Depot at Midway, about a mile from this place, on the site of the former one that was burned by Slier- With pain we announce that Mrs. Samuel E. Whitaker breathed her last on yesterday abont one o’clock. The whole community sympathises deeply with the family in their affliction. We understand that the new store brick building of Mr. Walker’s will be only one story high instead of two, as at first contemplated. Tbe brick work is nearly finished; the entire will be done in a few weeks. We have received from Messrs. Dev lin & Co., of New York, a Directory and Map of that city. All who go to the metropolis should furnish themselves with the book, as it costs nothing but the trouble of sending for it. Another game of Base Ball came off on Tuesday afternoon, which resulted in the defeat of the “Old Capitol” by a score of 21 to 31, in a game of seven inn nings- The “Scrubs” acquitted them selves handsomely and did not faint from excessive joy. In consequence of the extreme illness of a teacher of one of the Sunday Schools, the pic-nic in contemplation for the scholars on to-morrow, has been postponed until another week. Timely notice will be given when the managers a-e ready to have the festival. OBITUARY. THE LOVED AND LOST. "While Time’s Chariot, all tinted with the varying hues of spring clouds and golden sunsets, rolls swifily by, regardless of the thousand flowers crushed* in its course, or the sweet birdling notes hushed by its flight, thoughts of one bright flower so recently crushed beneath its heavy old wheels, one sweet voice so lately hushed by a sudden whir', rises before me. The shadows of the twilight have fallen, but deeper shadows than those of a May day twilight are gathering about me. As I sit in the silence, dreaming of the “long ago,” and listening to the sad witching of the heart’s deep recesses, old memories like ghosts, leau out of the dark and beckon to me with their shadowy fingers, to wander■ wish them through the dim halls of the past, and with a noiseless step, I go back. Girlhood’s hours of bliss ul dreamings, tree from sorrow and care, g'ide before me, again I live over the bright happy moments of my school days, again 1 drink at the fountains of pleas ure, again I climb the shining peaks of hope, again I rest myself upon the sunny little is lands, that stretch out in life’s stormy sea, and wait awhile for the coming of my friend. But ah ! she has faltered by the wayside— she could go no farther, and the angels took A large advertisement is generally a ! her to their bright, beautiful home on high. . . .. ... , , . There are emotions, that sometimes swell sign that the bouse is doing a got'd busi ness, and intends to continue so doing. It shows that something good is to be had ; and the public is informed where it is. Tbe curiosity of all can be satisfied, by calling on Thomas & Sanford, where sack a fine and cheap Stock of Goods was never exhibited before. Head their advertisement and: call on them. Now is the time to secure the best bargains ever offered the public. The politeness and affability of these gentlemen are such, that no one who has ever traded with them, will ever forget them, or their No. 1 Goods. The young people in the ■vicinity of Deverenx Station had on Saturday a fishing excursion, followed by a regular break-down that night, which was pro tracted nntil some of the more thoughts ful suggested that the party was violat ing the fourth commandment. The prize story that has besn running through or columns for several weeks is concluded in this issue, and is to be fol lowed by another of thrilling interest— “Claude Arlington; or, the Secret Mars riage. A tale of the late War. By Alice Arnold.” Now is the time to subscribe so as to lose none of the first chapters. On Tuesday night last an attempt was made to bum the house of Col. L. H. Kenan, in the suburbs of this place. No one was in the house at the time, but fortunately the fire did not take hold upon the building, though a quantity of fodder and fat lightwood placed under the floor by the incendiary^ was consume ed. No traces of the rascal have up to this time been discovered. About 4 o’clock Wednesday evening an alarm of fire was sounded; the bells commenced ringing and all hastened to ward the scene of the supposed confla gration. The fire.company turned out, but could not get into the engine house, as one of the members present had the key in his pocket and did not know it. Finally the engine wa3 rolled out and adjusted, when it was announced that the fire was out. Determined to show their skill in spite of fate, Jhey proceeded to besprinkle the crowd, but only suceeed- qjj in half drowning two of their men by bad management. After these exploits they retired in good order. It is to be regretted that the citizens take so little interest iu their fire compa ny as to let it remain so badly prepared to be of service in time of danger. W*e call the attention of outsiders as well as members, to the fact that with the pres ent skill and promptness in managing tbe engine, half the town would burn up be fore any thing was dene to prevent. With a practice of two or three times a week, the company will soon be able to act efficiently in case of a fire. Fire.—The usual quietude of our city was considerably disturbed by the alarm of Fire on Friday night about 3 o’clock. Some negroes returning from a gather ing, discovered the roof of Callaway’s building on the South side of Haucock street, in ablaze. The town was speed ily aroused, and the fire extinguished, before it had gained any headway. If it had been seen only a few minutes later an extensive conflagration would have resulted, as that and several of the ad jacent buildings were of wood, and very old and dry. Aside from the loss entailed upon the occupants, it would have been a fortu nate ciicumstance if these dilapidated shanties had burned, as then, neater and more substantial bouses would have tak en their place. The fire, judging from circumstances, is believed to have been the work of an incendiary, as there bad been no fire in the house for soma time. While a wagon was unloading the other day in front of Wright & Son’s Store, the driver dropped a heavy keg or barrel upon a large box of matches which being ignited by the friction, blazed and popped in real Christmas style, much to the consternation of the driver, who doubtless considered the sul phurous fumes a foretaste—or rather a for e-smell—of what would titillate his nasal organ, provided he was blown up. Col. Snead, being unable to give bail, and, as we are informed, to bear the ex penses of himself and two guards, went to jail on Tuesday last. He is to all appearances a perfect gentlemen both by nature aul education, and if he be a vil lain, is certainly one of the most accom*. plished we ever saw. It is reported that Miss Myrick has become convinced of his guilt, and re fuses to have any communication with him.

Silver • “ 104 “ 106 the bosom, too big for utterance. There is a 6ense of utter loneliness, that under some cir cumstances, steals over the saddened spirit, and leaves it in mournful silence, without the capacity to attract by expression, the sympa thies of its fellows. There are bolts of sor row, that sometimes so stun the stricken heart, that it is, even itself incompetent to appreciate for the moment, the terrible havoc that marks the desolations of the stroke. We know that nothing, upon which we may fix our affections in Time can long withstand the waste of years. We know how brief Life’s own date—how frail its hold. We have too often experienced the touching truth, that those objects upon which our affections are more firmly fixed, are more apt to be ruthlessly torn from our enjoyment. Yet after all we are still prone to love that which is fleeting and transitory, and to anchor our hopes to that which fades and dies. How sweet and holy is the tender friend ship—the passionless love that we form in our school-girl days for those ol our youug class mates, in whose hearts we always find well- springs of purity and innocence, ever rising swelling, gushing and flowing with crystal tides of kindness and joy. How happy are we to find, that as years roll on, our confidence is increased, and our affections strengthened The college girl must soon become the wo man of sterner years. Active life and new duties, springing from new relationship, must develope ere long whether the heart that was kind, innocent and pure at “sweet six teen,” would in a decade of years be but the same, only developing more and more its sweetness and its beauty, like the tender bud that contains all the elements cf loveliness, yet needs time, genial showers, and rosy sun light to yield the full-blown glory of maturer proportions. To have had the privilege of associating with one that iu early life was pure and true, and then to have the sweet and tender ties that bound oar young hearts together, in creased in sweetue. ’ and tenderness as they lengthened with coming yeai3 is indeed a thing of beauty, and but for the fell destroyer might be “a joy forever.” Oh! how the soul writhes when looking back upon such holy associations, and feels that it must for one true heart, beat on for life without one r< spon- sive throb. But thauk Heaven for the hope of a reunion beyond the grave. Mrs. Amanda Thomas, daughter of Col. N. C. Barnett of Milledgeville Ga., was a grad uate of Wesleyan Female College. We ive: e classmates and friends. The friendship form ed between us in our girlhood lasted till u# parted at her grave. The lovely girl, the con stant friend, the noble Woman is dead ! No, Amanda is not dead. To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. She holds a place in the memory of all who knew her—even those who may not have loved her, were com pelled to acknowledge her worth and noble ness of soul—those of us who knew her best, loved her most. We are consoled that her per sonal worth, social and intellectual endow ments, were bi t the outer court of that tem ple of the heart, where thronged in love and light all the Christian graces. That our loved and lost one was a Christian no one can doubt. She died before she had reached middle life. “She was not made Through years aud moons the inner weight to bear, Which colder hearts endure till they are laid By age iu earth.” Hers was a golden nature which under the constant liictiou of use, attained an eternal and unalterable splendor of purity and beauty ere she had grown old. She leaves a faithful, devoted husband, a sweet little babe, a tender mother, an aged and affectionate lather, and a large circle of friends to weep her early fall. As a Methodist c.he loved the church of her choice, and was < pecially devoted to its Sab bath School in err -t. The silent organ in the Methodist Chi’ i, now stands a mute monu ment of her devotion to sacred song. Long will the influence of her sweet warbling be felt, though her lips are pale in death, and the hand that struck the notes of holy praise is motionless in the grave. Who can forget the heavenly charm that seemed to bind the Soul to the sweet singer, when she would roll from heart and organ in one mingled strain, those beautiful hymns—“Around the Throne of God,” and “Nearer my God to Thee ” “That silvery voice so soft, so clear, The listener held his breath to hear.” We hope to stand with our own loved one by the b..nk of the “Shining River to cull with her beautiful flowers from ihe Eden of GrJ ; to gather with her fruit from the tree of Life. We hope too, to listen to her again, not as she strikes the chords of Time, l ut as her fin gers run along the harps of Heaven, and her angel voice melts away in the music of the skies, Thomas I Sanford HAVE RECEIVED THEIR STOCK OF Spring and Summer Goods, And are pleased to inform the public generally that goods are Very much Cheaper this season than since the war.

Sheeting “While ev’ry leaf on Eden’s tree Shall tremblo with the minstrelsy.” S. E. H. Died.—On the afternoon of the 4th inst., at his residence in Milledgeville, Mr. Joseph Miller. The deceased was born in Germany, in the town of Immeiiried in the Kingdom of Wur- temburg on the 5th of March 1824. For 25 years he had resided in Milledgeville, where his quiet orderly deportment, diligent and successful attention to business, and unobtru sive worth, long since gave him a place among our best citizens. For several years his health had been giving way. Habitually felling that his departure would probably be sudden, 13 exhibited a marked calmness of feeling in view of the solemn event—a calmness whose explanation may be found in his avowed conviction that living faith in Christ was the true and only ground of hope for man, every where a sinner. On the afternoon of his death, having suf fered as he had often previously done, he fell into a peaceful slnmber. In a few moments, the watchful eye of affliction discovered that he had ceased to breath. The vital spark had fled. His family mourn the sudden departure of a loving affectionate husband and father. The Community lament the loss of a highly es teemed and valued citizen. A FRIEND. 5 to 121-2 cents per yard. 1 yard wide at 121-2 cents. Muslin from 20 to 40c., worth from 25 to 60 cents.
