RICHARDSVILLE.
I'riilay last, in company with a
Inrgo delegation from town, we spent
n delightful day in the western por
tion of our eniinty. At RiehartU
ville we were nu t hy Messrs. JDavid
sun, Down.-, Sullivan, Geo. >md As
berry Boyd, Grier and Robt Liviug
stou, .lames Bieharils, Dr. Gibson and
several otfier substantial citizens of
that neighborhood, and a hearty, gen
erous welcome was extended to all
the visitors. At I p. m. the large and
well furnished re-idenco of Mrs. A ii
Jlavidson was opened and all iuvited
to prepare for dinner. Mrs. David-
son was absent at Salt Springs, but
other members of her interesting faiu
j ily made ns feel “welcome guests at
home." The thoughtful neighbors
I had arrauged that a hot dtpner be
served in the dining room here so that
i everything could he served in the best
l of style, it was nqt a lunch, but a
regular “before the war” toast which
can only now be found in a prosper
ous country neighborhood. Abopt 25
took dinner here and i*. was our good
fortune to be at the “first table.” Ed
itor Anderson, of the Star, invoked
the Divine blessing in appropriate and
impressive language, quite a num
ber went with friends to dine, and all
were loud in their praise of the open
handed hospitality extended to them.
In the afternoon the people caine from
all directions to witness the second
game of base ball between Covington
and Richardsville. Many ladies gra
i eed the occasion with their charming
presence. Among the number we no
ticed Mrs. L. F. and Mrs. Walter
Livingston, Mrs. Dr. Gibson, Mrs.
•I. 11. Richards, Mrs. J. W. King,
Mrs. ('apt. Dodge and other noble,
I gentle ladies, who make this life bet
ter and this world brighter by their
kind and generous deeds. We also
tipped our hat to a trio of bewitching
beauties from Rocky Plains district,
besides glancing shyly at a bevy of
belles from Richardsville and Cora.
About .'i p. m. the game of ball was
called with that “old reliable, fair
and impartial pioneer of base ball,”
W. 1! Lee, as umpire. Covington
went to bat firs?, and it was evident
that her splendid team was never in
belter trim. The Richardsville nine
was composed and confident. With
out further comment we wifi give the
score bv innings:
Covington, 3 1 1 8 3 2 (5 5 0-29.
Richardsville 1 2 0 0 0 4 0 1 4-12.
The nines now stand one and one and
the third game will bo played in town
Thursday afternoon, at 24 or 3 p. m.
At 5 p. m. good-byes were said and
the town delegation wended their way
homeward with thanks on their lips
and gratitude in their hearts for die
kind and courteous treatment they
had received at the hands of these
hospitable and generous people.
S N A PPING SH<)’LS BARBECUE.
On Thursday a pleasant neighbor
'll <1 Barbecue came off at Snapping
Shoals. Invitations had been extend
ed to all parts of this and other coun
ties and there were several hundred
persons present. Covington was well
and ably represented. A general good
time was had by everybody. Hon. L.
L. Middlebrook was called oh for a
speech and responded in happy style.
There v.as an over abundance of bar
becue pig, lamb, kid, beef and chick
en, besides other eatables suitable for
the occasion. The good people around
the Shoals did all in their power to
make the day oue of enjoyment and
pleasure. Wo are told that the town
delegation arc under obligations to
Messrs. C. S. Jarboe, Jno, C. Aikin,
Jno. 11. Thompson and others forex
tra kindnesses and courtesies. May
our friends continue in prosperity and
ever be willing and fully able to con
tinue to bold their annual barbecues
and have all their acquaintances with
them for many years to come.
MARRIAGES.
At the residence of the bride’s pa
: rents, in Brick Store district, Thurs
day.’last, Mr. Jeff. Cook was united
in marriage to Mi ss Dollio Speer. —
Elder Win. Adams officiated. Many
friends of the happy couple were pres
ent to witness the interesting and im
pressive ceremony. The bride is a
| daughter of Hon. T. J. Speer, our
representative in the Legislature, and
is a young lady of grace, beauty and
| culture. The groom is a young man
of ljonor and integrity—a farmer by
profession and a gentlemnp by nature.
He is a son of the late VVm. Cook,
and hiim-elf and bride will occupy the
residence where his father recently
died. May health and happiness,
peace and plenty, bless these “two
souls with hut a single thought” these
“two hearts that beat a? one.” Long

DEATH’S SAD ROLL.
The people and press of Georgia
deeply sympathize with Editor John
Temple Graves in the death of his
beloved wife, which event transpired
in li nne several days ago.
We drop a tear to the memory of
Lewis Arnheim, of Dougherty coun
ty, who departed this life in Atlanta
•Sunday. The State loses an able leg
islator and a faithful adopted gpn.
He was true to his convictions and
leaves a clean and honest record-
Lcnee he to the memory of Hop.
Arnheim.

Newton County Rea! Estate
AND BUSINESS AGENCY.
The gentlemen who place this notice be
fore our citizens under the foregoing head
ing have concluded that the time has fully
arrived for something to be done in the di
rection of bringing to the knowledge of the
people at large the merits and attractive
features of Newton County, as a county for
residence, business, manufacturing and
farming. It was felt that, while every resi
dent and business man is personally inter
ested in this and desires that attention
should be called to the advantages of our
county and no organized body or appoint
ed officials had taken any steps to accom
plish it, someone or some few individuals,
y. ith only the good and advancement of
our .LOCAL interests to incite them, must
start stcji an enterprise. This we now
propose to dp—wondering as every lover
of home and patriot does, that it had never
bean done before.
The first and immediate oljjoet of this
agency will be to fu rpn.iv a suitable adver
tising pamphlet, copies of which are tc be
placed at the coining fairs and expositions
to he held iudhis state and elsewhere, in
order that the visiting popples pf the sputh
cast, west and north and even from foreign
countries, may know something of our
county and see the inducements they have
to buy, live and do business among us- —
Th e pamphlet will contain notices of every
lot or piece of laud for sale, or that may
at any time be for sale, farms for sale, resi
dences and business houses for sale, and
any other fixed property for sale; and in
addition notices or cards of advertisement
of every establishment, hugiuess, institu
tion, enterprise, profession, and all advan
tages and facilities and openings, natural
gnd otherwise, that are among our public
and private interests.
Such a comprehensive display in print
will touch every one of us in some special
way and the entire citizenship on one side,
namely—the building up of Newton county.
But to carry out this purpose, the effort
must be recognized and supported by our
people. Parties with lands or houses or
other properly to advertise should furnish
descriptions,—localities, qualities, condi
tions and any items to draw special atten
tion to them
If men have property to sell they need
not he told that to dispose of it to the best
advantage, it should be known to the wid
est public. What is here proposed will se
cure that most effectually. And the special
cause tor giving the most widespread no
tice to any salable property here will he
that the entire county as a section ami lo
cality is advertised along with it. Thus
then will be a double advertising, the prop
erty itself and its surroundings
There is moreover not a business man,
bo merchant, no mechanic, no machinist,
no miller no other manufacturer, no school
nor educational institution, no profession,
no corporation doing business that shall not
be directly effected beneficially by the re
sults of the published catalogue which we
propose to circulate.
This is a labor oi' love and duty, not gain.
Newton county is as good one with all its
advantages and facilities considered as any
in the state. Let us unite in one pnhtica
tion to tell the world so. Send us descrip
tions snd notice.

WHO IS THE CRIMINAL.
A ragged, shivering little boy was
brought before a magistrate -for steal
ing a loaf of bread from a grocer’s
window The grocer himself was the
informer. The judge was about to
poos sentence on the little wretch,
when a kipd lawyer offered the fol
lowing considerations iu mitigntiou of
his offence :
“The child, said he, “is the eldest |
of a miserable group. Their mother I
is an incorrigible sot; their father
lies low in a drunkard’s grave. This j
morning, when the act was commit
tod, tlie mother lay drunk upon the j
floor, and her children were crying 1
around her for bread. The .elder boy, |
unable to bear such misery any lon
ger, rushed from the Jiovel, resolved
to obey that paramount law of nature
which teaches us the principle of self
preservation, even iu disregard of the
law of the land. He seized the penny
loaf from the grocer’s window, and
returned to that wretched home, and
spread the unexpected morsel before
his hungry brothers, bidding them to
“eat and live.” He did not cat him
self. No. Consciousness of his crime
and fears of detection, furnished a
more engrossing feeling than that of
hunger. The last morsel was scarcely
swallowed before the officer of justice
entered the door. The little thief
I was pointed out hy the grocer, and
| lie was conducted before the public
| tribunal. In the midst of such mis
| ery as this, with the motive of this
i little criminal before us, there issome
| thing to soften the heart of a man,
I though I deny not that the act is a
penal offense.
But the tale is by no menus told.
I This little circle, now utterly fallen
j and forlorn, is the wretch of a family
I once prosperous, temperate, frugal,
| industrious and happy. The father,
| strange as it nmy appear, was ouce a
professor of religion. The very first
\ drop of that accursed tincture of de
j structiou which conducted him thro’
] the path of corruption to the grave,
was handed to him by this very gro
cer, who now pursues the starving
child of his former victim for stealing
a penny loaf of bread. The fnrm be
came encumbered ; the community
turned its back upon the miserable
victim of intemperance ; tbe church
expelled him from the communion;
the wife sought in the same tremen
dous remedy for all distracting care,
an oblivion of her domestic misery.
Home became a hell, whose only out
let was the grave.
All this aggregate of human wretch
edness was produced by this very gro
cer. He has murdered the father, lie
has brutalized tbe mother, he has beg
gered the children, lie has taken pos
session of the farm, and now prose- 1
cutes the child for stealing a loaf to
keep his brothers from starving.
But all this is lawful and right:
that is, according to law. He has
stood upon his license. The theft of
a penny loaf by a starving boy, where
his father laid down his last farthing
for rum, is a penal offense!—Ex.
