Acquainted With a Ghost.
A young man with more nerve than
brains was passing along the street
about twelve o’clock, one night, when
he saw a ghostly object stealing along
in a gentleman’s yard. He did not
believe in ghosts and had a desire to
meet one, so he stealthily let himself
over the fence slipped up close to the
white ghostly object and was about to
catch hold of it when a heavy stick
whacked him on the head and the
owner of the premises demanded.
“Who the devil are you, and what
are you doing on my place this time
of night?” The young fellow turned
and fled as fast as his legs would take
him from the ghost. He says now
he is certain that there are such things
for he has got acquainted with one.
Having a Good Time.
A man by the name of Johnson,
hailing from Webster county was in
town on Tuesday on a lark. lie had
a dog following him, which he traded
to Si Hawkins, jr., and Bugg Chap
man for three dollars and three
drinks of stagger juice. The police
found him waltzing around on the
streets and conveyed him to the
guard house, and were to turn
him out as 'soon as sober. Johnson
was a hallelujah man and kept the
neighborhood of the guardhouse live
ly with his noise, for an hour or two,
when everything became very silent.
When the city marshall went to re
lease him he found his cell empty and
a large hole thro gh the back door.
Johnson had his good time, got three
dollars beside the whisky and carried
the dog off with him.

Sumter Superior Court.
This week has been one of some ex
citement and interest of rather higher
order than usually attends our Superi
or Courts. First we had anew Judge
who had to run the guantlet of many
critical and watchful eyes. Judge J.
A. Ansley went through the organiza
tion of the Court in good order.
Monday and Tuesday were occu
pied in disposing of twenty or more
civil cases. On Wednesday the great
case which was in everybody’s mind
and mouth was sounded—the libel for
divorce of Dr. E. J. Eldridge. Very
able counsel were engaged on both
sides, and every one was eager to hear
these big guns on this great case.
Judge Willis A. Hawkins, Col. N. A.
Smith and Hon. Allen Fort repre
sented the prosecution. These were
of the local bar. Hon. Dupont Guerry,
local bar, lion. Clifford Anderson and
Col. L. N. Whittle, of the Macon bar,
were for the defense. It was a war
of giants and the struggle was con
ducted on the most approved rules of
legal conflict. Each man stood upon
his high and delicate obligations to
his clients, and the very highest order
of stategetic skill and forensic elo
quence was called forth. The Court
house was jammed and eager atten
tion was given from the beginning to
the close. The case occupied two
days and part of the second night.
After a full charge by the Court the
jury retired to their room, where it
still was at last accounts.
The embarrassed condition of the
county, and the great expense attend
ing this trial, make it a matter of
serious importance that a verdict
should be reached and that n> mistrial
be made.
The Grand inquest has worked with
earnest diligence in finding bills to
clear the jail, and attending to other
important business, which had topass
that body. The great desideratum
being to do all the business this week
in order to obviate the necessity for
another grand jury next week and
save the expense. The jury fully com
prehending the terrible expense to
which the county has been subjected
by the late disastrous flood and storm
in the ruin of bridges and public
roads.
Hard Eggs.
Thos. Hewett, a J ustice of the Peace
of Sumter county, tells the following
story: His wife gave him three and a
half dozen eggs to bring to town to
sell for her, in a basket. While load
ing the wagon with cotton, the basket
of eggs was put on the ground near the
wagon. A negro man, whose weight
was about one hundred and forty
pounds, was on the wagon lifting the
cotton bales into a secure position; in
doing so he fell from the wagon, both
feet going into the basket of eggs.
Hewett says that he heard the eggs
crush as the darkey’s feet smashed
into them, but on examination there
was not a single egg broken. He
brought them to the city and sold
them to Jere Bolton for a good price.
He states that he will take an affidavit
to the truth of this statement if any
one disbelieves it.

Desperate Afifray in Berrien County,
We learn from parties who returned
to the city on Friday, that a desper
ate shooting affray .occurred at Tifton,
Berrien County Ga., on the 11th, inst.
in which Green B. Mayo, formerly a
sheriff of Lee county, and Mart. Har
rell, were both mortally wounded,
and since then Mr. Mayo has died.
We get the following from the Al
bany Mews and Advertiser on the sub
ect:
Between forty and fifty shots were
fired, and both principals were mor
tally wounded. When the train left
Tifton yesterday afternoon, neither of
them expected to live until this m ont
ing, in which belief the attending
physician fully concurred. A man
named Jordan, a friend of Harrelt,
was killed instantly, and a Mr. Vick
ers, Harrel’s book-keeper, was seri
ously shot. Another man named
Lawrence was slightly wounded in
the hand. Others may have been,
and our informant thought doubtless
were, wounded in the affray; but he
could not give their names.
A Story.
It is whispered that a certain young
local has set the joy-bells of love ring

and that ere the Magnolia perfume
shall fade from, our summer breezes
the beautiful south birds wing will
be bound by the silken ties so strong
ly that death alone- can sever the
bonds. We’ve tasted all the pleasures
of “love’s young dream” and can
wish for our brother all the happiness
that life, beauty and love may con
tain.

A PLEASANT EVENING.
The wedding on College hill that has
caused many suppositions and more
enquiries, has at last been consum
mated. At the residence of Mr. John
R. Leamon, on Thursday evening
October 12th, was celebrated the silver
wedding of Mr. .and Mrs. Leamon,
and was an evening long to be remem
bered by quite a large number of the
elite of our city.
The Arion Club discoursed sweet
music for the evening and all seemed
as merry as a marriage bell. The par
lors were beautifully decorated with
the choicest flowers of the season,
while the many handsome presents
threw their silvery shine among the
admiring guests-. The bride and groom
of the occasion looked as young and
as beautiful as of yore, and did their
part as host and hostess with all the
grace the occasion required.
The supper room was beautifully
arranged and the tables were well
filled with everything nice and good.
All ate and enjoyed the repast, and
will long remember with delight the
charming occasion of the silver wed
ding on College hill.
The number of presents were thirty
or more, and the contributors as fol
lows: Handsome pair cake baskets
from Arion Club; elaborate berry
stand, Mr. and Mrs. U. B. Harrold,
and silver pitcher from Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Fricker; Miss Maria Harrold,
elegant card receiver; Mr. and Mrs. C.
M. Wheatley, spoon stand; Mr. and
Mrs. S. P. Boone, pickle stand; and
the most highly prized among all the
gifts was the not-looked-for gift from
the absent brother, not seen in twenty
weary years, a set of beautiful knives
and forks, Mr. Win. Leamon, Wil
mington, Del.; handsome cake basket,
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hawkins; Mr. and
Mrs. Prince, butter knife; Dr. and
Mrs. Cooper, napkin-rings and knife
rest, and last but not least the gift
from little Mary Davenport, with the
following lines attached:
A thimble for you, of silverware,
For lingers nimble, soft and fair,
When twenty-five years have polled,
If you have it then, will turn to gold;
And little Nary who gave it to-day,
May then have passed her wedding-day,

Solid Talk.
A reporter of the Republican cir
cled around three colored men last
Wednesday in front of Bosworth &
Jossey’s, and found tho elder of the
party giving the others about as solid
talk on economy as any one could
wish. The dissertation ran as follows:
“Well, I’ll tell you, boys, since you
axed me, dis thing of raisin’ nothing
but cotton won’t do. Ise been paying
pooty close ’teution to you two boys
disyear. You has been cornin’ to town
every Sat’day an’ buying meat at sev
enteen cents a pound; you has bought
meal to take home wid yer, an’ you
paid 81.75 a bushel for it. You is run
nin’ an ’count. Now, de ’count does
well ’nuff till yer has to pay it up an’
settle; it’s all easy runnin’ till dat
time. Den de ’count eats up de cotton
you lias picked an’ raised. What you
gwine to live on next year?”
Here dubious shakes of the head at
tested the dark outlook for the lectured
pair, when one broke the silence by
asking:
“Uncle Adam, how do you make
out so well? You allers has plenty.”
“Well,” replied Uncle Adam, “I
tell yer how I do. I plant everything
dat man or hog can eat—corn, peas,
taters, pinders, punkins, an’ leaves
cotton for de las’ thing. I raises my
hogs and allers has plenty of meat —
don’t have to pay seventeen cents a
pound for it; I has corn and fodder to
sell, also taters, an’ what little cotton
I raises is all clear money—don’t have
to go to pay ’counts you know.” And
Uncle Adam’s eyes twinkled as he
thought how well he was doing.
“Another thing, boys,” he said,
slapping one of them so energetically
on the knee that it raised the darkey
nearly to his feet, “another tiling is
dat arter I lays by my crops I makes
me a crop of manure. I hauls in my
muck, I cleans out my stable, my
chicken coop and hog pens, and I
mixes ’em up togedder and lets it lie
dar till I plant corn, and under decorn
it goes. My land brings me now
eighteen to twenty bushels to de acre,
whar it didn’t use to bringeight. Dats
de right principul to pursue. Try it
once or twice and you’ll allers try it.
Plant so as not to run any ’count,
make plenty for man fin’ beast, an’
make manure at odd times instead of
lying up in de house—an’ you’ll get
’long as I do. Heap ob de white
folks would do better if dey follered
in old Uncle Adam’s tracks, too. But
mos’ ob dem is like you boys—dey
can’t see it.” And here the old man
arose and left, not suspecting that his
solid lectu re would be reported.

Now is the time for farmers to arrange for
money to improve their farms, their homes,
and pay up all their debts, get improved
farming implements, and fix themselves to
make their crops next year on a cash basis.
This can be done by taking a mortgage loan
for three, four or five years. The loans only
bear 8 percent, per annum, and expenses
of negotiating are light. It is the cheapest

DIED.
Near Webberville,Tex., on August
13th, 1882, little Henry li. J. Wood,
son of T. J. and Susan A. Wood, aged
four years, of congestion and grief.
Grief inconsolable, for the dear little
brother who preceded him but a few
weeks to the tomb, and for whom he
pined, and plead incessantly to be per
mitted to go and see.
Our Father, in pity heard tho touch
ing petition of the tender suppliant
and almost without a moments warn
ing,lovingly bore the wounded little
spirit to his Heavenly home, where
little brother awaited to welcome him.
It is one of the saddest of all human
trials to have to bury out of sight for
ever the loved form of an angel child,
but when one with tho roses of health
blooming upon its cheek, and instinct
with life and joy, resisting all efforts
of medical skill, is suddenly snatched
away, it is more than sad—it Is heart
rending.
The development of the faculties
and intellect of little Henry was pre
ternatural. Bright visions of the spirit
land seemed ever flitting before the
infant eyes, and he seemed to attain,
even on the threshold of eternity, the
full measure and statue of a glorified
saint.
llow hard to realize the icy touch
and marble hue of death which trans
formed into beautiful statuary this
idolized one. To the bereaved pa
rents we would commend the follow
ing beautiful prayer:
“The way is dark my Father! cloud on cloud
Is gathering thickly o’er my head, and loud
The thunder roars above me. See, 1 stand
Like one bewildered; Father, take my hand
And through the gloom,
Lead safely home
Thy child!
And may their broken hearts re
ceive and find consolation in the sweet
reply:
“The way is dark, my child, hut leads to
light,
I would not always have thee walk by sight;
My dealings now thoucanst not understand;
X meant it so, but I will take thy hand,
And through the gloom,
Lead safely home,
My child!
