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-*

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.

The people hero seem to be' 'much

If the people in this section do not
make enough corn to do them this

The loafer’s club of this villa seems

The war between “Countryman”

between Russia and Turkey. - Charlie

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

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.

We direct attention to the adver
tisement of Mr. H. 11. Tift, Tifton,
Ga., which will bo found iu another
column of to-days paper. This house
has on hand a full supply of general
merchandise, consisting of everything
needed by the farmers', aud which he
proposes to sell at low figures. Mr.
Tilt proposes to make it to the interest
of the farmers to bring him their wool
as .lie is prepared to pay them the
highest market price, either iu cash
or trade. From the very liberal in
ducements offered, we bespeak for this
house an extensive trade. Mr. Tift
is a through business man, liberal
just and upright in his dealings. 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.
The .unfortunate iuaa was carried
home in au iusesible condition, and
on Thursday he was so paralyzed
that he did not move. At J o’clock
our informant left and said he was
dying. Mr. Hendley was a good,
honest clever citizen and leaves a
large dependent family to mourn his
irreparable loss.. 1
