The cold weather is the cause of

country and not be signally wrong.
One man said “if there are ten thous

nine thousand are dead.”

Our annual contribution to the
friends and patrons of tho Sumter
Republican, in the form of an al

of binding, not yet completed, but will
be by the 20th instant.
ITS CONTENTS.
Beside the Almanac feature, giving
the days of the week and month and
movement of the planets, it will con
tain the Court Calendars of the Su
preme Court of Georgia and of the
Superior Court of the Southwestern
Circuit, and the United States District
Courts for the State of Georgia. Also
an epitomic history of Americus; the
names of the city officials. Also those
of the county officials, their dates of
holding courts; the time of opening
and closing the tax books for Receiver
and Collector. Also the names of th 6
Board of Education, the dates of their
meetings. Also the days of meeting
of the Masonic Lodge and other se
cret orders. Also many goodsugges
tions to gardeners and farmers for
every month in the year. Also fifty
ornamental illustrations which of
themselves make it desirable in every
family.
There will be five thousand copies
puhlislied and bound for gratuitous
distribution among the friends and
patrons of the Sumter Republican.
We beg leave to say that it is not a
money or selfish consideration that
moves in this matter; but simply to
make more pleasant the relations with
subscribers and patr'ons. As however
it will be in the nature of a standing
household directory for every family
who gets one, and a good advertising
medium, we have offered a few
leaves for advertisements. If our
merchants see lit to utilize them at
the cost of setting up the type, they
can do so, if not, they will neverthe
less go forth on their mission of use
fulness and good will, and no feelings
wounded or chagrin felt.

Esmeralda.
The Opera House was the scene of
a brilliant triumph, on Thursday
night. The reserved seats were all
full without an exception, and our
people were rewarded with a capital
performance. Esmeralda won all
hearts, and fully sustained the glow
ing eulogies of the press from all parts
of the country. The night was in
tensely cold for this section, yet there
was no going out to “steam up” by
the male attendants, so wrapt were
they by spirit of the play. Tho Opera
House has never presented a gayer,
happier and more interesting troupe,
and from the very outset they captur
ed the attention and admiration of
the auditory, and held it enchained
to the end. Such performances are
worth double the admission feein the
lessons they teach, and should always
be encouraged by the best citizens of
every city in the country. We hope
this troupe will give Americus anoth
er call before the season is over.

December term, Judge Pilsbury

Some important cases were continued
by reason of the absence of leading
counsels at the Macon Superior Court
at Oglethorpe. The only criminal
case was that of the State vs B n
Davis, larceny from the house. Found
not guilty.
The State vs John Patterson, sim
ple larceny. The charge was stealing

Committed. Demand for trial Janu
ary term County Court, 1883, entered.
Friday the Court was engaged
in the distribution of money. Late
in the day the controversy between
the lawyers had not ended and the
question was still pending. Court re
marked, “I will stay until midnight
or get rid of the matter. ’ ’ Judge Pils
bury understands himself as well as
the lawyers.
Smoked Glasses.
The sixth was a cloudy morning
and the time for the transit had passed
by half before the smoked glass
brigade could bring their optics to
play on the sun’s disk. About one,
however, the clouds broke into racks
and a general observation was had.
Some said they had no interest in
that Venus, the observations general
ly eminated from widowers. A dar
key made the shrewd remark that
“white folks always claimed that
Venus was white; but he was satisfied
she was black now, as she so appeared
through the glass.” As it was very
probable that no glasses would avail
to see the next similar event which
would occur in Madam Venus’ his
tory, we took a peep and found a
black spot about the size of a small
apple on the lower section of Phebus
disk, which was the morning and
evening star then lustreless and black.

Plantations for Sale.
We call attention to the advertise
ment of Mr. T. M. Booker, of Lees
burg. Mr. Booker offers unusual bar
gains, and all who want productive
land in a good state of tillage, would
do well to look over these places be
fore purchasing anywhere. The con
venience of the lands to the railroad,
their elevation and drainage, make
them compare well with other places
in Southwest Georgia. A practical
judgment will quickly determine their
superiority. Ye land buyers for per
sonal use or for speculation had better
visit these places, one mile or a mile
and a half on the west side of the
Southwestern railroad, at Adams
station.

Buena Vista High School.
At a meeting of the Board of Trus
tees, of the Buena Vista High School,
Prof. J. E. Mathis, of Americus, was
unanimously elected Principal. He
conies well recommended and we
predict for him much success.
The above statement will show why
Prof. Mathis will leave Americus.
The obligations he owes his family
and himself to accept legitimate pro
motion, and not from any disaffection
towards our city or the methods of
the Public School here, furnish the
motive. Prof. J. E. Mathis will leave
Americus on or about the 23rd inst.,
for his future home in Buena Vista,
and take control of the flourishing
High School of that place. No man
could have been selected to the high
trust who would have been better
adapted to the position and whose
mastership of the situation would
have been more complete. The
schools of Americus give him up with
great reluctance. We commend him
to the kindly regards of the Buena
Vista society, and congratulate our
sister city on securing the services of
so competent a teacher and a man so
trustworthy.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
At a meeting of the Normal Class
held the 6th day of December, 1882,
the following resolutions were unani
mously adopted.
Whereas, By a decree of Provi
dence, Dr. Geo. F. Cooper, late Presi
dent of the Board of Education of the
city of Americus has departed this life,
Resolved, That in the demise of
Dr. Geo. F. Cooper the teachers of
Americus have lost one of their truest
friends. Distinguished and peculiar
in his admiration of the Public School
system, his time, even to the injury
of his private business, was devoted
to its advancement. Kind-hearted
and benevolent, there was no griev
ance, complaint or distress of teacher,
parent or pupil, to which he did not
lend a ready ear.
His sympathetic nature was easily
aroused, and his energies could al
ways be relied upon in the interest of
those who needed and deserved assis
tance. He was a man of remarkable
firmness of character and integrity of
purpose. Pure as to motive himself,
he was unsuspicious of others. His
noble, generous and social qualities
were the means of surrounding him
with numerous, true and valued
friends. Proud of the conscientious
performance of every detail of his
duty, neither motive of self-interest
nor call of friendship could swerve
him one hairs breadth from the strict
execution of his official responsibility.
Resolved, That his memory as a
faithful, staunch and devoted friend
will forever live in our hearts; his
labor as a leader in the cause of edu
cation—a labor performed devotedly
and efficiently—nave placed him fore
most in the ranks of the cause of edu
cation, and that his noble efforts in
this cause had gained for him the
esteem and love of all the teachers and
pupils of the Public Schools, who to
day, rise up and call him blessed.
Resolved, That our heartfelt sym
pathies are extended to the bereaved
family in their sad affliction.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to the family of de
ceased, and that they be published in
the city papers.
