Athens, (Aa. April 9.—Never a day
dawns, but what something novel, or new,
dawns upon humanity. The aphorism
that things new are no more is defeated
every day, and it doesn’t take a blind man
nor a superficial observer to see it. Great
physical forces are brought to light—as
wed a i weird, novel and romantic things.
On yesterday your correspondent wired
the singular fact that near here an aged
divine preached his own Aineral sermon.
The scene of this romance (I may call it)
was at Stevens’ Oak, about six miles east
of Athens. Fully 2000 people witnessed
these services, besides fifteen reporters,
who toriiay flashed the same to most every
corner of the south. A New York journal
had a special reporter present. This old
man never had but nine months’ schooling,
was born in North Carolina and moved
to Georgia when auite a youth. Hia early
life was uneventful, having been a farmer,
a carrier of government mail, and uniting
himself with the Campbellite church.
This action is certainly weird for an old
man whose tottering footsteps are fast ap-
K hinr the grave: bnt pausing at its
to retrospect his by-gone years, he
thinks he can do that best which might
be indifferently done by others. With
this determination, he made himself a
coffin of old pine, bad his grave dug, and
yesterday preached his own fuueral. He
took his text from the second chapter of
Corinthians, eighth verse: “Which none
of the prinoes of this world knew; for had
they known it, they would not have cruci-
fieu the Lord of glory.** After singing
“Shall we gladly meet,” and “Wav should
we fear to die,” he began by saying that
“in his day and time there were no Sunday
schools, but theological societies instead.”
He said “be total]y disbelieved the theory
that the earth was made out of nothing.’’
His reasons for preaching his own funeral
were “that it would alleviate the grief and
distress of family and friends by not mak
ing any pretensions at his death.” He
said “the word funeral was not to be found
anywhere in the Bible; that he believed it
to mean nothing but a ‘Fig time; that the
priests and worshippers of idolatry insti
gated it and would be punished accord
ingly in the hereafter. He also said
that the word purgatory was
not to be found in the bfble; that people
■use to go to heaven by water, but now
there was so many of them they went by
railroad, and that he believed purgatory
was no place but a station on this road,
where transits could stop to sleep and
recreate.” Such phraseology character
ized his whole sermon throughout. There
can be no doubt that he is an idiot, and is
doing this to create a sensation. His im
mortality (if an;
world, for he w
mortality (if any he’ll ever have) is in this
vill never have any except
newspaper notoriety. We understand that
the old man ate a hearty meal after finish
ing his sermon, and said that he intended
preaching another sermon of a similar
character. We cannot account for the ac
tion of such men. We can only present
the facts, and leave him to the judgment
of the world
A Leader About to be Lost.
Ty-Ty, Ga., April 7.—Mayor James
O’Conner has sold out his entire interest
here, having sold his mercantile interest
to his partner, Mr. Thomas A. Davis, and
the very neat house he was building he
sold to Mr. W. B. Parks. I hear it reported
that Mr. O'Conner will soon leave our
town. In case he does, it will leave the
town without a mayor, as he is filling that
office. At the present time he is also our
railroad and express agent and telegraph
operator. So it will be seen at once that
he is an important man to the town.
Int«renUng Canes In Court.
Carrollton, April 9.—Our superior court
has been in session now* a week. Judge S'
W. Harris presiding. The judge’s health
is very much improved, and gives promise
of many years or usefulness.
So far the court has afforded nothing of
interest, if we may except one among
several divorce cases. Tne plaintiff in
this case testified that one Sunday morn
ing, about two years or more past, by the
gentle suasion of a shot-gun and pistol,
witn the aid of the bride’s father and the
brother as first groomsman and a con
venient magistrate, he was declared
wedded. He further stated that since the
date of marriage, he had continued his
lonely life, and whether irksome or not,
he asked release from the bonds. It is
needless to say that the court released
him.
During the present week a case is to be
tried which will keep the court house
packed.
It is said that a man named Boswell had
mistreated his wife, and a half dozen
knlght-errants undertook her vindication.
Some time last summer, when Boewell was
asleep, suddenly the young knights ap
peared, took the offender out of hu house,
and administered a severe beating. There
will be a criminal suit for riot, and a fur
ther suit for damages.
Work on the Chattanooga Rome and
Columbus railroad, since the good weather
has set in, has progressed rapidly.
Death of Mr. Sherman.
Thomaston, Ga.. April 8.—Hon. Owen
C. Sherman died this morning at 6 o’clock,
having been confined to his bed about two
weeks. He was born in Wilkes county in
the year 1812. He was a resident of Upson
county for about fifty years, and served
the people for several terms as sheriff and
two terms as representative in the legisla
ture. He was a truthful, honest, Industri
ous man, kind to the poor and trae to his
friends. His funeral will be preached at 9
a. m. to-morrow at the Baptist church,
and the burial will take place at the
Bethesda burying ground, two miles
north of Thomaston.
Sumter** New Court Houae.
Americus, Ga., April 9.—Our beautiful
new court house was formally turned over
to the county at 10 o’clock this morning,
in the presence of a large assembly of In
terested spectators, composed of our citi
zens. both old and young, ladies and gen
tlemen. The exercises opened with music
by the Wide Awake band, followed by
prayer by Rev. A. B. Campbell. It was
then presented to the Hou. Allen Fort,
judge of this circuit, with an appropriate
address by Col. B. P. Hollis, or the local
bar. and accepted by Judge Fort in behalf
of the county. At the conclusion of Judge
Fort’s reply, prayer by Rev. Mr. Dye con
cluded the ceremonies, when the April
term of Sumter superior court was organ
ized.

The many friends of Mr. J. Frank
Mathews will be glad to hear that he was

nah Florida and Western railroad com
pany for damages resulting from the Hur
ricane river disaster. A few have been
settled, and the rest of themjwill be settled
without litigation. About fifty claims will
be presented. The Wllbnn and Goulds
will not make any demands for damages
It is understood. In the first place neither
of the parties need the money, being
wealthy, and in the second place Mr.
Wilbur and Mr. Gould are both railroad
men, and do not care to set the example
of claiming damages. Mr. Wilbur’s car
will be repaired by the railroad com
pany. It is now estimated that th9
disaster will cost the Savannah Florida
and Western fully #150,000.—Brunswick

The postmaster at Brunswick has ren

A sad sight has been daily witnessed by
the citizens of Athens for the past few
days. A little girl seven or eight years old
has had the misfortune to lose one of her
limbs and is compelled to use a wooden

ful face, and seems to be entirely unem
barrassed by her misfortune.

Mrs. B. N. Edwards of Clarke county, has
a St. Bernard dog that is a jewel in his
way. He is sent out to the pasture every
morning with the effttie and returns with
them safely every afternoon. In milking,
he keeps the calf off, and when it is
through carries the pail to the house. He
works the treadmill Dy which the butter
is churned, and is useful in the domestic
arrangements of the household in many
ways. But the faithful fellow is put to a
more remarkable use than this. Every
summer he is sheared, and his silken
wool spun into yarn. Mrs. Edwards showed
a correspondent a table cover four feet
square that was made entirely from
the hair of this dog. Six pounds of
wool were obtained in this manner
last year, and the shearing time is nearly
here again. Strange to say, the dog seems
to like the loss of his wool, and sports and
gambols like a six month’s pup when the
hair is shorn.

The republicans of the Seventh congres
sional district have called a convention to

Congress. It is thought that J. B. Hardy
of Calera will receive the nomination.
Jacksonville Republican: The old court
house is almost down to the ground. Peo
ple are beginning to show curiosity as to
what will be found under the corner stone.
It is rumored that a two gallon jug of fine

things, and this fact may account for some
of the curiosity. A drink of fifty year old
“spirits” would not be a bad thing to take.
Ashville ASgis: Thirty-one candidates
have announced for county offices in Cal
houn county. Tuscaloosa beats her by two,
the Gazette announcing thirty-three. Cal
houn has thirteen candidates for tax as
sessor; with such a record it is not strange
she notes St. Clair’s low pressure politics.
The fact is, this world is ruied by the saints
