friends and change the unsubstantial
for the tangible, “my children grow
lean on promises.”
Very Considerate.
The cows on Brown street in con

Going to Farm.
Our young and handsome friend,
Rufus Joiner, proposes to drop assa
foetida and take up guano for a while.
His place is filled by young Mr. Al

father, he’ll make a good one.

Tuesday and continue during the re
mainingschool days of the week. The

ly 3uch as feel a lively interest in the

Well Done.
Mr. Phil Jackson had a mule to tear
the flesh on his shoulder in a fearful
manner with some part of a swingle
tree. This occurred on the 13th, and
on the 14th Mr. S. M. Lester was call
ed in, who skillfully adjusted the
parts, and with ten stitches fixed it to
get well.
Which is Right?
A gentleman who has had bills of
expenses rendered by several ware
houses, finds himself charged twenty
five cents in some cases and five cents
in others, for re-weighing when ship
ped. Which is right? Is there any
statuary limit or is it arbitrary with
the warehousemen?
Notice.
Mr. Henry Johnson, our efficient
collector says that he has in his pos
session several notes given for Twin
Spring matrasses and due to Dr. J. N.
Cheney, this therefore is to give the
parties opportunity to settle them,
otherwise they will be put in suit on
the first day of January 1883.
Lumpkin Mail.
The Lumpkin mail has for an indefi
nite period been irregular and defec
tive. It is a pleasure to learn that it
made a through trip on Monday. Mr.
Samuel Everett, contractor, of Lump
kin, will be the carrier. This will be
quite a convenience to all parties at
both ends, ns well as the middle of the
line.
Examination.
An applicant from Knoxville was
examined to test qualification to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resig
nation of Prof. J. E. Mathis. The
result was unfavorable to the appli
cant, and it is understood the position
will be tendered to Prof. R. V. Forres
ter, once principal of the Female Col
lege in Americus.
Oats.
Mr. James Parker, of 29th district
of Sumter county, desires to notify
Carter that he -will set him back this
year in the excellence of one acre of
oats. Pile on Jim, hut remember
there are others who raise oats in
Sumter besides Carter. The emula
tion between neighbors in raising food
crops is both useful and laudible.
Fair for the Library.
Quite an interest is developing to
make the Fair not only a “thing of
beauty but a joy forever.” The fact
that some amusement is absolutely
essential to the peace and good of
society, especially about Chritsmas,
it was a happy idea on the part of the
Library directors to inaugurate the
Fair enterprise. Now to make this a
complete success let the ladies come
up with all their beauty and lovely
persuasiveness and this Directory will
have an easy time and the fair will
be a success.

Municipal Election.
The election on Wednesday passed
off in the most quiet orderly style,
not the slightest disturbance, except
the utterance of a few qualifying ad
jectives on the part of the uninitiated
at the closing of the saloons. The
registry footed up two hundred and
sixty names, white and colored, of
which number only one hundred and
thirty-five availed themselves of the
franchise. There was no opposition
to the nominee for Mayor, and only
two new aspirants for Aldermanic
honors announced the day before the
election. The returns show,

Crocker & Tullis.
The partnership heretofore existing
between Crocker & Tullis is desolved,
by the purchase from Mr. Crocker of
his interest by B. H. Jossey, and the
firm will be known hereafter as Tullis
& Jossey. What disposition Charlie
will make of his time does not appear.
Mr. Jossey the new partner has been
a prominent clerk in the house of
Bosworth & Jossey, and is further
known as a hotel man in the late Perry
House and manager for his mother
while proprietress of the same house
previously. This gives Mr. Jossey
quite a host of acquaintances and
friends which will add to the popu
larity of the firm no little. Good luck
to ye getlemen.
NEW GOODS.
We have just received a very large,
and elegant assortment of new goods,
especially suited for presents, and we
cordially invite all to drop in and ex
amine the new styles.
James Fricker, & Beo.
Good Croping.
John and Bob Eason of Schley
county, whose ages respectively are
seventeen ana eighteen, have this
year made with two mules twenty
bales of cotton, and corn enough to
feed and run the place during 1883.
The addenda of an abundance of peas,
potatoes and syrup detracts nothing
from the statement. Hurrah for
Georgia boys.
Another case, Morris More has this
year on the place of Perry Peacock,
with one mule made twelve bales of
cotton, four hundred bushels of corn,
other side crops good and all harvest
ed. Southwest Georgia will soon be
self sustaining with such results.
Candidates for Sheriff in Sohley.
Among the Schley county announce
ments, it will be seen that the friends
of Mr. T. B. Myers have suggested his
name for re-election to the office of
Sheriff. It can be truthfully said of
Tom that he is an honest, faithful
man wherever you find him. He has
made a competent and good officer,
and his many friends desire to keep
him in that office.
For the same office Mr.H. W. Cock
rell announces himself a candidate.
He is a most excellent gentleman and
will make a good officer if elected.
Professional Card,
Attention is called to the card of
Hon. Charles F. Crisp, Congressman
elect, in this issue. The Judge offers
his professional services to the public.
He will be able to attend the Courts
until next December, at the opening
of the 48th Congress. Judge Crisp is
one of the best judges of law, as well
as one of the most competent in the
State. Those who have cases involv
ing intricate points will do well to
avail themselves of his leisure time
and employ him. His address will
be as heretofore, Americus, Ga.

Cutting Affray Among Negroes.
On Tuesday evening last Richmond
Dowdell and another negro man were
going from the city to the house of
Dowdell in the country, several miles
from the city they met Randall Haw
kins who was walking. A hard feel
ing existed between Dowdell and
Hawkins, and some words passed be
tween the men. Dowdell sprang from
his buggy, followed Hawkins up and
a fight commenced, both parties hav
ing their knives in use. The negro
in the buggy kept crying out to Dow
dell to shoot him. Dowdell tried to
draw his pistol but Hawkins caught
his arm and a struggle commenced in
which the pistol fell to the ground.
Both parties hunted in the darkness
for it, and Hawkins thinking that
Dowdell had found it fled. He came
into the city and gave himself up and
is now in jail. He is cut on the breast
and arm, and his clothes pretty well
slashed. Dowdell has several cuts on
his person, the worst of which is on
his neck. A jealousy exists between
the darkies because of the wife of
Hawkins, he accusing Dowdell of im
proper intimacy, and also that Dow
dell had garnisheed him for five dol
lars.

A nice lot of Hair Brushes, Combs,

Taken for a Watch Mender.
Johnnie Hardy, clerk at the house
of John R. Shaw, on Forsyth Street,
was sitting behind the door, which is
panneled with glass, looking into the
inwards of a sewing machine. A man
passing outside took him for a watch
repairer, stepped in, watch in hand,
and addressed Johnnie, holding his
bullseye in his hand: “What’l yer
charge to set my watch er goin’ and
make it keep good time.” Johnnie
looked up from his work, saw the old
piece of jewelry, and with a mirthful
twinkle replied: “Some charge about
half the value; but I shall charge all
the thing is worth.” The man pock
eted his ancient repeater and walked
out. He’ll try again when he makes
another crop.
Mew Building.
Mrs. Raines’ new building on the
Southwest corner of the intersecting
streets Church and Jackson, begins to
show its bright proportions. This
improvement will fill up a formida
ble hiatus and add much to the ap
pearance of that corner and both
streets.
Other new edifices are in contem
plation, which will be a pleasure for
us to note.
Bugg Chapman's Cali.
It would be very improper to inti
mate that Bugg has but one calf, but
he certainly has one. It has a hoof on
one foot parted twice, making three
hoofs, by way of compensation
one foot has no division in the hoof,
it is like a mules, and the two hind
legs are shorter than the front ones.
A striped tent on the vacant lot just
below the candy manufactory holds
the calf, call and see the lusus.

Friday.
The streets in the business portions
of the city, exhibited quite a gather
ing of the clans on yesterday. White
and colored jostled on the pavements
and in the stores. The merchants
will have but little reason to com
plain, if such a state of things con
tinue, until, and during the holidays.
We predict an improvement in trade
if circuses will keep off.

Absent mindedness is a poor excuse

A wise man will not complain at the

When the world is cold, and gloom
spreads like a black pall o’er our life,
when all tilings seem vain, and we

true, come like dew to the buds, and
bid us raise our head, while our heart
drinks in the draught which makes us
strong and brave once more.

Harrold, Johnson & Cos.
Never forsake a friend. When ene
mies gather around, when sickness
falls on the heart, when the world is
dark and cheerless, is the time to try
true friendship. They who turn from
the scene of distress betray their hy
pocrisy, and proves that interest only
moves them. If you have a friend
who loves you—who has studied your
interest and happiness—be sure to sus
tain him in adversity. Let him feel
that his former kindness is appreci
ated, and that his love was not thrown
away. Real fidelity may be rare, but
it exists—in the heart. They only
deny its worth and power who have
never loved a friend or labored to
make one happy.

The Pardon of Captain Cox---
Brief History of His Crime—
His Trial and Conviction,
Atlanta, Doc. 11.—la response to
numerous petitions from members of
the General Assembly and prominent
citizens in all parts of the State, as well
as from doubts existing in tho minds of
eminent lawyers and jurists as to the
grade of the offense, and as tho Gov
ernor’s views of the caso agree with
those of the petitioners in tho main,
Governor Stephens to-day pardoned
Captain Edward S, Cox ami ordered his
discharge.
Capt. Edward S. Cox killed Colonel
Alston, on the 11th of March 1879, by
shooting him in tho State Treasurer’s
office at the capitol, in Atlanta. Both
Cox and the deceased were neighbors,
from DeKalb comity, and were bosom
friends up to less than an hour before
the killing took place. Cox came to
Atlanta on an invitation from Colonel
Alston’s law partner, to meet Alston
and others for consultation relative to
the sale of General Gordon’s interest in
one of tho convict lease companies, in
which Cox had a sub-contract for eight
years.
Colonel Alston met Cox at the At
lanta dept on Monday, and continued
to be on friendly terms until about noon
the next nay. The negotiations con
nected with the proposed sale led to an
estrangement, which was first exhibited
in a saloon, where Cox notified Alston
to arm himself and meet him in ten
minutes. Both parties did arm, and
Cox returned immediately, but Alston
not only did return at all, lint sent word
that he had changed his mind and
would not come. Cox then went to
the capitol, and there the fatal difficulty
occurred. Alston fired five times and
Cox twice, and it was the second shot
from the pistol of the latter which
struck Alston in the forehead and in
flicted a mortal wound. Cox was shot
in the hand and in the mouth, hut An
ally recovered and was placed on trial
The case was set for hearing in the
Fulton Superior Court on the 28th ot
the following April, but was continued
and a jury impannclled on the 30th.
The defendant was represented by thir
teen able counsel, and the State by
-olicitor General Hill and Judge
Twiggs and Hopkins. On the tenth
day the jury returned a verdict of guilty,
with the recommendation that tho pun
ishment be confinement in the peniten
tiary for life. The trial of the case ex
cited unusual interest throughout the
State at the time, and it was in many
respects the most remarkable one that
has ever taken place in Georgia.
