Suddtui Death.
In Smithville, on Thursdy night,
Capt .Joeßennet, died very suddenly.
Capt. B. was a son-in-law of Mr. John

sick for some time; hut it was not ex
pected that he was so near his end-

We call attention to the card of Mr.
J. W. Mize announcing his candidacy
for the sheriffalty of Sumter, with Mr.
W. 11. Cobb for Deputy. These offi

J udging from the display of 1 umber,
and from corroborating statements,
it is no violation of prudence to say,
that the diagonal corner from the Re
publican oflice, will soon labor no
more under the disagreeable qualify
ing prefix of vacant lot. Judge Mont
gomery has begun to till up the vac
uum on his realty over the way, and
there is no prophesying when he will
stop. Besides, moreover, neverthe
less, other people seeing how much
better a vacant lot looks, with a house
on it, will be moved by his good
works to do likewise. So the build
ing boom will still go on through 1883.

Lee Court.
The Superior Court of Lee county,
is in session this week. We were not
present at its organization, for the
first time in a number of courts, owing
to personal affliction. But we have
every assurance, both from our ac
quaintance with the man, as well as
information from' members of the
bar who were present, that the youth
ful judge was fully equal to the draft
upon him as well in regard to the
charge to the Grand Jury, as also in
the manner and ease exhibited in
organizing his first court. Judgo Fort
will be found a liberal and courteous,
presiding officer, while looking well
to the interest of the country as the
purity of the ermine. Solicitor Gen
eral Hudson was present, ready and
qualified to represent all the interests
of the State.

“BOIL IT DOWN.”
Whatever you have to say-, my friend,
Whether witty or grave or gay,
Condense it as much as ever you can,
And say it the readiest way;
And whether you write of rural affairs
Or matters and things in town.
Just take a word of friendly advice —
Boil it down.
For if you go spluttering over a page,
When a couple of lines would do,
Tour butter is spread so much, you see
That the bread looks plainly through-
So, when you have a story to tell
And would like a little renown,
To make quite sure of your wish, my friend

The Big Show
On Tuesday according to the pro
gramme, Sells Brothers’ Cyclopean
exhibition arrived in Amcricus, and
notwithstanding the scowling look of
the heavens and the wintry tinge in
the atmosphere, large crowds of coun
try people were here by ten o’clock
to give them a hearty welcome.
About nine o’clock old Sol’s beaming
face darted from behind the clouds
and the remainder of the day was
beautiful. At noon the grand proces
sion took place and this, ofitself, was
worth the admission price to the
show. The largest, as well the small
est elephant ever in our city, was
there, and if nine of these mammoths
in a herd is not a sight worth viewing,
with a herd of camels, and the other
sights, we are at a loss to know what
would be. The Sells Brothers are no
frauds. They have what they adver
tise, give a show that will always at
tract, and one that ranks with any
that travels, if it is not far ahead.
The riding is just the best that has
over been in our city, and we heard
many expressions of delight at nearly
every act. There was hardly one
part of the exhibition that did not
meet the approbation of the visitors,
and if the Sells Brothers could drop
into our city again, with their grand
exhibition about Christmas week,
their huge pavillions could not hold
the crowds that would gather here.

IN MEMORIAM.
“Forth of our ways and woes, forth of the
winds and snows,
A white soul soaring goes, winged like a
dove;
So sweet, so pure, so clear, so heavenly tem
pered here,
Love scarce need hope or fear her changed
above.”
Thus on the 26th of October, 1882,
the pure spirit of Mrs. Bessie Leon
ard Sims passed from earth into
heaven.
Forth from the breaking heart of
the aged mother, forth from the cling
ing affection of an oft afflicted sister,
forth from the strong lovo of an idol
izing husband, far away from tho an
guish of a hopelessly desolated home,
into the bosom of tho Father.
Seldom is it our opportunity to
know a truer, nobler woman, than
was Mrs. Sims. She was naturally
reserved and modest, and few pene
trated the depths of her nature. She
was my friend! Mine was the privi
lege of reading, page after page, her
character as it unfolded to the touch
of time. A happy-hearted girl—sad
memory brings again her joyous laugh
among her young companions of the
village school, recalls her glad songs
as she flitted among her flowers, and
in and out the house, making joy and
gladness in old “sunshine home,” and
gilds even more tenderly the panora
ma of the past, as she reveals the
light-hearted maiden, transformed by
sorrow into a brave, Christian woman,
who without a murmur yields htfr
dearest treasure—her only sister—for
the service of the Master, in a heathen
land. Next, the bridal wreath rests
on the young brow, and lastly, when
memory withdraws the scenes of tho
past, the pure light of Faith shows
the loved one, sweetly resting in tho
bosom of the Father.
Her short mission on earth is accom
plished. In every relation of life “she
hath done what she could.”
To the desolated hearts in tlio dark
ened home, we extend tenderest sym
pathy. May He, who has taken her
unto Himself, give to them the power
to say “Thy will he done.”
"Another golden link is broken.
Hearts are veiled in bitter gloom,
God, the mighty King lias spoken,
To his daughter, called her home.
When we meet in Church to praise Him,
And we raise Ilis name in song,
Catch the echo, loved one, waft it
To the happy, blood-washed throng.
Tell Him,sweet friend, when you meet Him
In that bright eternal land,
How you yearned so long to see Him,
Kiss Ilis precious bleeding hands.
Farewell! if it must he spoken—
Sister, daughter, wife, good-bye,
God tiie golden link has broken,
God will mend it by-aiul-by.”

IN MEMORIAM.
On Saturday morning, November
4th, the sad news was borne from c-ar
to ear that Walter Rylaxder was
nomore. After a brief illness of a few
days he died, and his gentle spirit
took its flight unto the God that gave
it. lie was cut down in the bloom of
his youth, when the light of young
manhood had just begun to dawn; the
star of hope hast just risen on the hori
zon of his life, and was casting its
brightest rays o’er his pathway.—
Sober-minded, full of energy, and en
dowed with unusual business qualifi
cations, already he had won for him
self a reputation. Kind hearted and
gentle in disposition, he was beloved
by his associates, while many admir
ed the noble attachment which he
bore for his mother; also the growing
attachment which he evinced for the
Sunday School evidenced that within
his breast there was the best of all
feelings, love to God. He had no
enemies, but when the sad news burst
forth all hearts moutned, for verily
“His life was like a summer rose
That opens to the morning sky;
And ere the shade of eveningdo.se,
Is seatteredon the ground to die.”
While our hearts are deeply sadden
ed, and we mourn the loss of Walter,
yet when we lift our thoughts heaven
ward, and realize that it is the work
of our Heavenly Father, “He who
doeth all things well,” submissively
we bow to his dispensation and say:
“Thy willbedone.” Though we shall
miss him in our Sunday School, yet
whenever our eyes shall turn in vain
to his vacant seat and we behold not
his familiar face, we shall trust that
he is even then gathered with the re
deemed in the Heavenly Temple sing
ing praises unto our God. Since it
hath pleased Him who “ruleth the
universe” to take him away, therefore
be it
Resolved Ist, That in the death of
Walter RYLANDEuthe community
has lost one of its brightest young
men, and our Sunday School one of
its scholars, whose presence we shall
sadly miss.
Resolved 2nd, That wo do deeply
mourn his loss, though not without
hope, and extend to the bereaved and
sorrowing family our most heartfelt
sympathies in this, their dark hour of
affliction and would kindly point
them unto Him “who tempereth the
wind to the shorn lamb” for comfort
and peace.
Resolved 3rd, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to his family in
token of our sympathy, and that they
also be published as a small tribute
to the memory of our deceased friend.

John L. Laramore.
This gentleman, well-known by rea
son of a long residence in Sumter and
Lee counties, dropped dead on Mon
day morning in Leesburg, where lie
had gone to attend Court. He was
apparently in as firm health as usual;
but from some unknown cause he died
suddenly. His florid and robust
health leads to the belief that it was
apoplexy which carried him off. The
deatli will strike many with astonish
ment, for the promise of long life
and health was plainly printed in his
general vigor and movement. He
was about sixty-two years of age, and
leaves a large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. We ex
tend condolence to the near circle,
who feel most tho sore bereavement.
The remains of John L. Laramoro
readied Americus by the afternoon
passenger train, and were met at the
depot by a large number of gentlemen
friends of tho deceased, and escorted
to the Cemetery.
STATE NEWS:
LAWT.ENeßvit.us, November 17.—A
few days ago a man calling himself
Garland came to the house of Mr. Wal
ters’, who lives near Luwerenccville,
and asked for board for two or three
days. He give no account of himself
and seemed to desire to be very quiet.
It was noticed hv some ofthe neighbors
that he had a largo amount of gold
about his person estimated by some at
half a hat full. Suspicions were arous
ed as to his being a refugee from justice,
and at length, through means that can
not now be made public, it was dis
covered that lie had probably been con
nected with the robbery of Mr. Brand
enburg, which occurred in Meriwether
connty on the night of the 6th. The
particulars of the robbery were pub
lished at the time. About 8 o’clock
on the night in question two masked
men went to Mr. Brandenburg’s house
and set his crib on fire. When he
went out to extinguish the fire they
entered his house and shot at his wife
and niece, and seized his trunk, con
taining one thousand dollars in money,
and bonds to the amount of $5,000.
The bonds are described as follows:
One United States 4 per cent, of 1907,
No. 55,805, SI,OOO. One Georgia 7
per cent, first mortgage bond, W. and
A. railroad, payable in 1800, and No.
109 for SI,OOO. One Georgia railroad
bond C per cent , No. 1709, and due
in 1910, issued January Ist, 1881, sl,-
000. One Georgia railroad bond ii per
cent,, No. 772, issued July 2d, 1867,
due 1890, SI,OOO. The man was ar
rested last night and brought to jail.
After making several contradictory
statements he said that if Sheriff Pat
terson would furnish him with some
morphine he would tell him all ho knew
about the robbery. When the sheriff
returned with tho morphine he stated
that if he would take him into the
woods where he bad hid the gold he
would give him S2OO if he would take
his shackles off and release him. Of
course Mr. Patterson refused this. A
dispatch was sent to the police in Grif
fin, and they rereplied. “Hold J. L.
Furguson,” the prisoner having stated
that his name was J. T. Furguson.
Through letters and dispatches that
cannot be made public, it is thought
that his accomplices are spotted and
will he arrested. 1 will wire you further
particulars as they develop.

The Comptroller General’s report
shows an actual cash balance in the
treasury of $310,017,-11. The amount
of insolvent general tax is exceedingly
small, and the increase in the value of
taxable property amounts to $16,255,-
150. The amount of the educational
fund for last year reached $277,009.36.

Macon is about to take the lead in

Rome Daily Courier: “Last Sun
day evening at the supper table at the
Central Hotel, the following little epi
sode transpired: When most of the
guests were seated at the table, a very
nice looking little gentleman stepped in
and was shown to a seat opposite to a
lady of Forepangh’s circus. Intense
staring was exchanged between these
two, and soon each rushed towards the
other, and ‘my brother,’ ‘my sister,’
were the only words spoken, but they
embraced each other most affectionats
lv. After explanation shows that
Frank Browne ran away from Brighton,
England, when ten years old. Cosmo
politan since that time and recently
from the City of Mexico, most of the
time with circus troupes, ho had heard
that his sister, now Mrs. Purvis, was
with the Forepangh circus, and tvould
be here, so he determined to meet her.
It had been fourteen years since their
last meeting. The recognition was
mutual, and their meeting very happy.”

Tribute to W, W. Singleton.
The following beautiful tribute to
Mr. Singleton, oi Marion, was deliver
ed by Mr. Dupree, of Macon county:
Mr. Speaker: In discharging the
duties devolved upon this occasion I
shall attempt to be brief, for words like
“sunbeams, the more they' are consider
ed, the deeper they bum.” Indeed,
that grief is most appropriately express
ed, when the tongue is silent and the
lips are mute. The human mind nat
urally shrinks hack at the contempla
tion of death, but when the “king of
terrors’ lays its “icy cold” fingers
where the manly form of the young, the
hopeful, and promising, ere the sun of
life had lighted aurora’s tints and dis
solved to dews of night, while yet it
was morn, then, indeed, is death pecu
liarly sad, and erring mortals are
brought face to face with the stern real
ization, “in the midst of life we are in
death. In this hall there ia one va
cant chair, in the call of the clerk there
is one name unsounded upon our roll;
it. is the name of the Hon. Will W.
Singleton, late member elect to the
house of representatives from the comi
ty of Marion. It was my fortune to
know him well and am assured I enjoy
ed his friendship and esteem. Well,
do I remember, when first we met. It
was on a lovely autumn day in 1880,
when the forest of nature was clad in
the sear and yellow leaf, by the grave
of a fond relative, whose gentle spirit
had recently entered the “dark shad
ows,” as lie was upon his way to this
city, seeking a clerkship in the house
of representatives of the legislature of
1880-81, and I in the act of leaving
my home to become a member of that
body, to which 1 had been returned by
a confiding people. He asked me to
aid him in securing him a posffion upon
our clerical force. He was successful
in his efforts, and doubtless the records
of that house, now within the walls of
this capitol building, abundantly testi
fy as to his fidelity to duty, and his de
votion tjj trust. \\ hile here in the
capacity of legislative clerk, it was told
him that someone had remarked, “his
position as clerk did not become him as
an editor,” his prompt and' earnest re
ply was, “I shall go to my home, and
when I return here, it sluili not be as a
clerk, but as a member of the house of
representatives from the county of
Marion.” Sure enough he was the re
cipient of his party’s nomination in a
heated contest over an older and distin
guished competitor, and upon tho ides
of October, as belay upon a bed of lan
guishing ami of death, he was the voting
and gallant chieftain of a proud and
victorious democracy. But he was not
permitted to enjoy the fruits of his tri
umph. Disease laid its ruthless hands
upon him and claimed him as its vic
tim, and soon he was spirited away, to
the “dark and rayless chambers of its
tomb.” Had lie been permitted to take
liis seat, he would have been the young
est member upon the floor of this house,
lint, alas, fur human greatness! Young
Singleton was no favored child of for
tune, but, like those men’ who have
made their names immortal, ho entered
the battle of lite with no friends but a
p’ourl spirit, and no fortune save his
talents. While a mere stripling, he
was placed as a type setter in the office
ot the Buena A ista Argus, a paper pub
lished in the county of Marion. Soon
he was its local editor, and then its
able editor and proprietor. As the
youngest journalist, doubtless, ia Geor
gia, as he would have been the young
est legislator, he labored to preserve a
dignity of tone in that calling he hon
ored, and for the maintenance of a heal
thy public sentiment in even upholding
the . right and despising the wrong.
Amid the pressing cares of an active,
but brilliant and useful life, he neglect
ed not the cause of his Master. He
was an exemplary member of the Metho
dist church, and his faith in the teach
ings of a “risen Saviour,” was as firm
and unshaken as the earth in which he
“sleeps his last sleep.” Mr. Speaker,
and fellow members, I am confident, I
use no extravagance of language, and
give expressions to no fulsome praise,
when 1 assert in this presence that
Georgia, the brightest star that twin
kles its midnight splendor in the coro
net oi states, with her glorious moun
tains libbed with gold and silver, carry
ing winter upon their heads, spring
upon their shoulders, while summer
sleeps at their feet, rich in all tho ele
ments of material wealth, renowned in
thechivalry o( her sons and the beautv
of her daughters, but grander still in
the eve; lasting memories of hercherish
ed dead, can ill afford to spare such men
as was Will W. Singleton. Therefore,
do I think it a fitting tribute for the
representative of a great state to pause
in their deliberations for a brief period
of time to shed the tear of sympathy
over the bier of tho “early dead.” In
the grand cycles of time, as they move
on in unceasing revolutions, tho gar
lands oi princes will fade, diadems of
royalty will wither and scepters will
decay, but among a people who knew
him best and loved him most, those
shining qualities that illustrated his
dignity of character and nobility of
manhood, like the “crushed myrtle aad
the bruised rose,’’with fresher fragrance
and greener verdure,will linger in fade
less colors upon the “eye of memory.”
Though tho illustrious dead answers
not to our roll call, let us, my hearers,
indulge in the earnest hope that he is
to-day a member of that legislature
presided by the great Jehovah himself,
where rulings are perfect, while his
manly form lies resting in that sweet
south land,
“Which lias a grave in each spot,
And names in the gravecan ne’er be forgot
Where each single wreck in the war path
of might
Shall yet become a rock in the temple of
right.”

FORSYTH STREET, m
Americus, - - - Georgia,
A PRAISWORTHY OBJECT.
No merchant was ever so deter
mined to give people the worth of
their money than Gyles. Now here
lie is with a $12.00 wool suit, and a
50 cent undershirt, (both warranted
good honest work.) Who would have
believed it? But its so! and Gyles says
lie is determined to keep reliable and
fashionable goods only, and none else.
He sticks to it, that our people will
appreciate first-class material and buy
it in preference to the cheap shoddy
Clothingso long sold in our town, and
tilings look like what he says is true,
for his store is crowded day after day
with the very best trade in our coun
try, who find that they cannot get the
quality of Clothing they want from
mixed stocks. tf
