Collector Johnson comes to the front and calls in a loud voice, “I’m tired living on promises,” come forward friends and change the unsubstantial for the tangible, “my children grow lean on promises.” Very Considerate. The cows on Brown street in con sideration of the stringency of the times and the proximity of the festive season of Christmas, have all had calves and gone into the dairy service. If Santa claus and the hens will com bine the fun may be perfect on Brown. 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 len, son of Capt. Tom Allen. If the latter understands business like his father, he’ll make a good one. Close of Fall Term. The examination of the classes in the Public Schools will begin on next Tuesday and continue during the re mainingschool days of the week. The public are solicited to attend, especial ly 3uch as feel a lively interest in the progress of education among the young. 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. At a meeting of the Board of Direc tors held on Friday afternoon, the fol lowing committees were appointed: Committee on General Arrangements: Thornton Wheatley, John Neely. Committee on Contributions: Dr. E. J. Eldridge, Dr. J. B. Hinkle, Mrs. E. Barlow, Mrs. W. A. Maxwell, Mrs. C. W. Hancock, Mrs. R. J.

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, FOR MAYOR. J. B.

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.

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. County Court Calendar.

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. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

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.

Miss Ellen MeKennie, a young lady residing in Dooly county, weighs three hundred and sixty-five pounds. Absent mindedness is a poor excuse for a man to make when he walks off with a better hat than his own. A wise man will not complain at the weather. When it rains he will keep his umbrella open and his mouth shut. The big umbrella hats look well enough on the street on rainy days, but they do not look well at a theatre when it does not rain. We hope every one into whose hands this paper may fall, will read the admirable sermon of Dr. Talmage on “Whisperers.” It should be read by every man, woman and child in the land. The outside of a woman’s bonnet and the inside of a man’s hat are the richest in ornamentation. Periiaps the same may be truly said of the out side and inside of the heads of the two sexes respectively—and perhaps not. A young lawyer recently said that he had settled in a certain town to try and make an honest living, when a bystander facetiously remarked that he ought to succeed, as there was not much competition in his profession. If you want a first class steam en gine for ginning and threshing, call on Harrold, Johnson & Cos. and ex amine their large stock of “Eclipse Engine” at their engine yard, Cotton Avenue. Engines on hand ready for use. Avoid delay. The editor is in receipt of a large box containing oranges, lemons, ba nannas and shaddocks, sent him from his friend, Dr. A. D.

A letter from the Manager of the Herndon Company, that was to have appeared in this city next week, was received by Mr. Glover, saying that they would not be able to fili their en gagements hero, on account of sick ness and death in the troupe. When the world is cold, and gloom spreads like a black pall o’er our life, when all tilings seem vain, and we feel too weak to do aught; when we would fain court deatli to ease our pain—all, then, a few words, kind and 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. Two or three of the most desirable dwelling houses in the city, within five minutes walk of the square, all in perfect order, will be rented low to a good tenant. Rent 812 50 to 820 00 per month. Apply to 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. Leading Daily Papers for sale every day and Sunday too. Agnes Aycock. PERSONAL.

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. ,sa_ Chi istmas Announcement! i* or the rest of this month we have marked down our entire stock of Clothing to prices never before known in the city.
