Connell & Goodman, Proprietors. VOL. 11. I.— 1,„ , ' CONN ELL & GGO DlilAN, I ’rop’rs A. H. TURNER, - - - 'Editor ALAPAITA, GEORGIA. MAT 19, 1877. Another change in the A. & G. R. R. The Emperor aud Empress of Brazil are iu Paris. The vicinity of Irwinton, -iu Wilkorson county, has been visited by myriads ot birds which are doing con siderable damage to the wheat. Somebody else appreciates the Thomasvilie Times. We judge from the weeks we fail-to get, and when we do, of its haying the appearance of being well read or badly abused. ' Typus seurvey aud other diseases are prevailing to' uu alarming extent in the Turkish army. Three thous-* and troops are sick in Mostar alone. The army is also iu great want of sup plies. Thomas county is organizing a cavalry Company, and Triplett is want ing an artillery company started. Now the next thing we hear of, lie will be wanting the Capitol carried to Thomasvilie. . A terrible battle was fought around Batoum on the morning of the 11th. The Russian forces made a furious attnet upon the heights, which were defended hy Bashi Razonks, and were repulsed by a terrible lire of cannon and musketry, and the ground was covered with the dead and dying. llis Frandulency, iu an interview with au Ohio editor, says the Re publicans will lose Ohio this fall, and in two years they will gain South Carolina, with Wade Hampton as the Republican candidate for Governor. These are the words of Hayes, not the language of inspiration. To those who are so unfortunate as to become preiflaturely gray, or whose hair exhibits a tendency to fall off, we recommend a t ied of Hall’s Ilair Re newer. We do so with the utmost confidence because it is eveywhere received *with marked favor, ;uid has built upon its own merits such a sure foundation that it is known and used in all civilized countries. — Addison (N. Y.) Advertiser. Some editors in Georgia have a supreme contempt for facts. Ope of them lives down about Baiobridge, and is trying to bulldoze the people into voting against a Convention by declaring that it will cost one hundred thousand dolllars, and wants to know : “Can we afford to pay fifteen dollars a barrel for flour, and pay a Convention tax besides?” That settles it. — Telegraph & Messenger. Must Go Fuhi ter. —“Send a thief to catch a thief.” Hayes is a thief, and he caught the other thieves that made him President and kicked them ' out for doing,so. This may be un grateful, but it is honest. The cause ot all Hayes’ repentance is now plain to ns. himself is a rogue. He is a rogue because ho assented to stealing President Tildeu’s place, and now he is coerced by the “putrid reminiscence” into throttling tha men who made him a de facto President. We will coerce him further gentle men.—Elgin {111.) limes. Detroit Free Press : The man who invented the Gatling gun, has now brought out a still better 6liiivg. It is a* caottvh which shoots off 1,000 balls per minute aud the faster a soldier dodges the move times lie will be hit and knocked into the middle of next j week. ! ALA,PAHA, GEORGIA. SATIRIST. MIY 19, 1877. NASHVILLE_DEPAItTNENT. . BY REPORTER. The people hero seem to be' 'much dissatisfied with the nomination. If the people in this section do not make enough corn to do them this year, it will be for want of suitable seasons. The loafer’s club of this villa seems ** . to be a thing of the past. It3 dis organization followed close upon the heels of the last election, siuce which time, there seems to be no hope of its revival. . A m,an that we once thought had good sense,. asked us the other day if we could give him a Stfty dollar bill forborne change, like as if he thought a man fn this country could have a whole fifty dollar bill these times ! The war between “Countryman” and “Troup” is progressing finally, [t remind u very forcibly <>f the war between Russia and Turkey. - Charlie was included “Countryman's” last attack, which indicates another great power is to be involved iu Europe. Ere this shall meet the eyes of the priuter T. D. Futeh, sr. will have taken, as 1 is wif'e'Miss Sallie Haynes. Snead is already in possession of the license, aud is engage to perform tho ceremony Thursday eveniug. He has us employed to help him keep the secret, 1 Col. ri. T. Pecples is employed by G J.

He w ill deliver his address in Nash ville at the closs of our school first of July. We arc frank to admit the charge prefered by “Stonewall,” the Adel Reporter, aud maintain that we have just cause for our inclinations, aud from our limited acquaintance about Adel, we are of the opinion that if we should live over there long we would, iu the language of ono. of our old citizens, “be down with the same disease.” The Comity Board of Education "convened in the. Court House on Wednesday and adopted some im portant measures iu behalf of both patrons aud teachers. The Local Act passed by the General Assembly, has beej pronounced by the State School Commissioner, and most every body else, to be “inoperative and unless an appeal is made to the State Board, the local law will be treated as a nulity. From what we hear we judge that the propersition of the Berrien county Agricultural society, to establish a permanent fair ground with suitable huildiugß thereon at Nat' ville, will meet with much favor and substantial support; as for instance we heard a a man say a few days ago, that it they, make a joint stock company of it, he would subscribe twenty-five dollars, which we thought was very liberal for a man ot limited meaus; especially as lie was not a member of the so ciety—never hud- been, " aud very probably never would be —but pro posed to make the advance as he be lieved it would be a paying invest ment. We hope the . mover will be pushed forward, as it is one in the right direction anil will add material ly to the wellfare, prosperity and ■ godil name of the county generally.

Call on him and test the proof of our us ertiou. Sad Death. —Mr. John Hendley, living in this county 14 miles south east of this place, was killed last Wednesday by a falling tree. The particulars from his nearest neighbor are these: On Wednesday evening last Mr. Ileudly, in. company with one of lirs neighbors, went out a short distanceriroin his house to cut a bee-tree. The tree in falling caught against a suppling which i carried so’";-; distance. Making a turn the sapling was detached and rebounded with such force that it broke off and went several yards beyoud the root of the free cut down, and iu its decent it struck the deceased o'n the side of the head terribly fracturing his skull.
