Col. Enoch Steadman having applied for the
benefit of the Bankrupt Law, it will lie necessary
■for his creditors to elect an Assignee to settle their
claims. It is very import n t that a competent and

the manner in which his duties aro performed.
Serious Accident.
On Sunday evening Mr. Charles Sanford and
Col. 11. D. Capers, were thrown from a buggy near
Covington Depot, in consequence of their horse
taking fright at a hogshead in tlie street. Colt
Capers was seriously hurt and for some minutes
appeared to havebeen killed, but. we are glad to
learn that he is recovering,and lliough lie was se
verely bruised, lie had no bones broken. Mr.
Sanford escaped with some pretty severe bruises.
The buggy was totally wrecked.
To Capitalists,
Those who have money to invest will do well
to carefully consider the advantages offered in the
card of the State Treasurer, as published in an.
other colun.n. Georgia bonds drawing 8. per cent,
payable semi-annually, areas profitable as any
equally secure investments in the market. It
would lie well it all the indebtedness of our Slate,
were due U* borne capitalists; and the bonds n .w
offered are certainly a very favorable class < f seen.

you” until the storm nnd struggle of life n-e
ended, and your faithfulness has been suffi
ciently proved, nnd that then the welcome
greeting from your Redeemer, “Ome up
higher,” will turn your sorrow into endless joys.
A Father’s arm will be underneath nod around
you: you are surrounded hv dear and proving

The Literary Club of. Covington

We stated last week that Color.cl
Acton, of die Atlanta Constitution, wnfs•
cleaned up at euchre in Covington. The
Colonel ruses his hands in horror and
sitting on his shanks howls (when he
gets in the Constitution office) thusly :
“I will state that 1 was beat one game,
hut that I was in a fair wav of cleaning
up things generally, when the game was
prudently jumped.’’ Here is the way
George Washington would have told it :
U I heat one game out of eight arid quit,
knowing 1 could not beat another.”
Wc learn that Jo. Braswell, who
murdered a negro boy in Walton county
about a month since, has been frequently
sr.cn in Harbin’s district, Gwinnett Cos.
He is said to be well armed and defies
any person to arrest him. lie threat
ens to kill one or two persons, and then
leave the county. So long as criminals
go unwliipped of justice just so lor.g will
crime continue on tho increase. This
boy should he arrested and brought to
the bar of justice immediately,
We attended, by special invita
tion. the T ableaux and Concert given h>
tiie Midway Sunday School for the pur
pose of obtaining a banner. The per
formance opened with a song, “The
Beautiful Days that are Past,” which
was very well sung. The first scene
was two young ladies representing ‘Night
and Morning,’ tins was indeed beautiful.
The ‘B lie of Centreville’ and ‘Sweet
Sixteen’ looked charming. ‘Open your
mouth and shut your eyes,’ then fare
well biscuit, was not as good as. some
other pieces on the programme. The
‘Lady of the Period’ was a ‘killing’ pic
ture which made our he rt turn around
in our bosom like a bumble-bee under a
glass goblet. But to be candid, the enr
tertainment was very good, considering
tjie hurried manner in which it was
gotten up, and more- than worth the
price of admission. We learn that an
other will be given soon. We will an
nounce the night in due time.
On Thursday evening a dispute
arose in Harrison Berry’s Cook Shop
between some men and a negro waiter.
Harrison came in to see what was the
matter when one of the party, a Mr.
Horton, drew his knife and attempted
to cut Harrison. Horton’s brother
attempted to stay the stroke by catching
the arm hat heir! the dangerous weapon.
But the force with which the knife was
wielded was too strong to thus be slop
ped. and the blade missing its mark by
this interferance, entered the crown of
the innocent brother's head cutting it to
the burr of his car, scraping the skull
bone all the way down. The wound was
immediately sewed up and dressed by'
Dr. E. 11. Yancey. We learn that the
unfortunate young man is improving,
Asa Roan, a cullud cuss formerly
of Covington, visited his old home ofi
Thursday fist. Putting a cargo of mb
eve-rye, as usual, under his shirt, he left
the city in high spirits to mingle once
more with congenial companions.around
some oi l ‘seven-up’ board- Rut this
child of Ham lost his way and his frail
barque drifted into a stranger’s camp.
The congratulations of the evening were
exchanged in an excited manner. Roan
left the camp in a hurry with a large
knife singing a death song close to his
coat-tail. When he returned to town he
remembered that the stranger had been
playing a solo game of mumble-peg be*
tween his shoulders. To prove this as
sertion he exhibited three or four knife
holes on his person. llis cuts were*
fixed tip in the latest European style -by-
Dr. Branh in. Roan then steamed him
self up again and started in a hop-and
go-fetch*it fox trot for his adopted home.-
A cutting affray-oectmed in So*
cial Circle on Saturday night, with se
rious results. A young man named
Whatley, who is said to be wild and
reckless, was rendering himself very in*
suiting in the store of Mr. Coleman F.‘
Mobley. Mr. Mobley escorted Whatlev
to the front door when the latter turned
and clinched Mobley, knife in hand, and*
cut him in five places. The most dan-*
gerou* was a stab in the abdomen. Mr.
Mobley is a peaceable young man and
highly respected by those who know him.
We are glad to record the fact that Mr.
Mobley bids fair to soon recover. What*
ley was arrested and sent to jyil on Mon
day last.
