Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. The proprietor of the Early County News, Mr. W. W. Fleming, has turn ed over the News, -“editorially and financially,” to his sons, Alvin J. and Will W. Fleming. “They say” —that is, Joe Howard says —that the New York Herald has cleared SBOO,OOO the last year, and the Times $215,000, In the meantime the San is said to have paid ten divi dends of ten per cent. each. Women’s rights are making progress in Kansas. Mary Isabella Martin, having been duly convicted of a horrid murder, and being pronounced sane by numerous experts, is going to be hang ed after a year of solitary confinement in the Kansas penitentiary. The au thorities hold that a woman has equal rights with a man in a case of this kind. The February number of the North American Hevieto is to contain an article on “The Experiment of Univer sal Suffrage,” by Prof. Alexander Winchell; a discussion of “The Revis ion of Creeds,” by clergymen represent ing six evangelical denominations; a paper entitled “The Decay of Protes tantism,” by Bishop McQuaid; aud a defense of Standard Oil monopoly, by Senator Camden. Elected President, The newly-elected Board of Directors of the Central Railroad and Banking Company met at the banking house Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock, and organized by calling J. J. Gresham, of Macon, to the chair. Captain W. G. Raoul was elected by the Board as Pres ident of the company for the ensuing year, and anew Finance Committee was appointed. General Alexander was present, and briefly addressed the Board on matters of interest pertaining to the company. Governor Stephens has issued an executive order giving Secretary War ren complete and absolute control over the matter of the purchase of stationery of all kinds for the executive offices,and the purchase of postage stamps. Major Warren is to supply all the other clerks in the executive office as well as the heads of departments with such amounts of stationery and stamps as they may require in the discharge of their official duties, and they are to ac count to him for all they receive. All clerks and officials are prohibited from the use of the public stationery and stamps in their private correspondence. The question as to who pays for the bagging and ties on cotton bales seems to puzzle many people. Some farmers seem to think that because they pay less for bagging and ties than they re ceive per pound for cotton, that the difference is clear gain to them. But the fact is that consumers consider the value of the old bagging and ties on the bale to them before they establish the price of cotton. In other words, the_spinners consider the bagging and ties as almost worthless, and deduct their weight as so much tare when they buy. This indirectly causes the planter to lose almost the entire cost of the bagging and ties. The total immigration into the United States last year was 735,000, enough to people more than a dozen States as populous as one of the pres ent family of States. The total immi gration at all ports for 1881, was a lit tle over 719.000, showing an increase of about 16,000 in the past year. The countries from which the immigrants came and the number contributed by each were as follows: Germany, 232,- 000; England and. Wales, 81,000; Ire land, 70,000; Scotland, 17,000; Swee den, 59,000; Norway, 37,000; Canada, 89,000; all other countries, 160,000. The arrivals in the last three months show a decided falling off, those of De cember showing a decline of about twenty per cent. Choice Songs and Ballads. The musical success of the season, is the publication of “Popular Songs and Bajlads,” a collection containing the words and music of over one hundred melodies, some of which have made the fortune of more than one Minstrel and Jubilee Troupe. It has more pleasing melodies than any collection we know of for the price. We name a few of the titles: “Dar’s one mo’ Ribber tor to Cross.” “Dar de ol’ Sarpint is a Crawlin’,” “Brighter am de hebenly gloricß” or atneng the niQre sentimen tal will be found “Bring pretty Blos soms to Strew on Mother’s Grave,” “In the Golden Eventide,” “Robin, they tell me you are going,” “Heart that is Beating for Thee,” &c. The Patten Publishing Cos., 49 Barclay Street, New York wili.forward this book to anyone who scuds them the price, 25 cents. Frank Leslie’s Sunday Magazine. The February number is promptly on our table, with its usual manifold attractions—l’terary and artistic. Among the prominent articles are: “Whisperers,”.by the Editor Rev. T.

Boston, January B.—A Journal spe cial gives the details of a dastardly crime that has put all northern Ver mont under arms in search of the black villan who has stolen a beautiful girl, the young daughter of a prosperous farmer in Rochester. Kitty Marsh, the child of Charles Marsh, is 13 years old. Yesterday morning she started for school near her house, and that was the last seen of her by her family. Her schoolmates say that late in the fore noon, as they were playing near the school house, a fine turn-out, driven by a negro named John Edwards, stop ped near them, and the driver aßked Kitty if she did not want a ride. The girl eagerly assented, jumped into the sleigh, and the span of bays went off at a canter. When Kitty’s absence was noticed in the afternoon Mr. Marsh made inquiries, and learned the above facts. There was but one inference, and the father was terribly overcome bp the blow. The neighborhood was quickly alarmed, and pursuing parties were organized and started in all direc tions. The officers and citizens got as fa.t as Middlebury and Crown Point last night without success in their search. At Vergennes to-day it was learned that the negro and the girl spent the night at the Stevens House and started north again early this morn ing. No subsequent trace of them has been gained. Edwards, the abductor, is a brown biead negro, about 30 years old. He has been employed as a farm hand in the neighborhood of Rochester all his life. At one time recently he was em ployed by Mr, Marsh. At the time of his disappearance he was working for Crosby Martin, a farmer in the neigh borhood. The valuable team with which he escaped with his victim is the property of Mr, Martin. Edwards has served one term in the house of correction for petty larceny. Kitty Marsh is rather large for her age, a bright school girl and a general favorite. She had long known Edwards in a friendly way, but there is no indi cation that he induced the child to elope with him. It is believed that she was coerced into making the trip with him after having started for the ride. She was rather thinly clad, and must have suffered severely from exposure in to-day’s bitter cold. It is probable that they have by this time reached Canada, but the pursuit will be vigor ously prosecuted. In the present state of public temper it would not be safe for the nogro to be captured near his home. Front Convent to Altar—Marriage of Miss McDonald, a Sister of Charity. Baltimore, Md.. Jan. s.—On Sun day last an unusual wedding ceremony was solemnized at the residence of Rev. Father Devine, the bride being Miss Lizzie McDonald, who for eleven years had beeu a Sister of Charity, and the groom Mr Patrick Moor, of Washing ton. Mis McDonald entered the order at the age of eighteen, and was subse quently engaged in teaching at Mobile, slilwaukee, Chicago, Mt. DeSales, in Baltimore county, and several other places. About five years ago she was attacked with a severe illness and as she was supposed to be at the point of death, her father obtained permission from the church authorities to remove her to his home. After a long and se rious illness she recovered and would doubtless have returned to the sister hood, but at this juncture her father was taken ill and she remained at home and nursed him till he recovered. Af ter his recovery Miss McDonald paid a visit to a friend in Washington, and during her sojourn at the capital made the acquaintance of Mr, Moor, at a party. The acquaintance ripened into warm friendship, and upon Miss Mc- Donald’s return home a correspondence was begun between the lovers, and con tinued tor sometime. The lady finally decided not to return to the sisterhood, received a dispensation to that effect, and a wedding quietly followed. vegetables and beautiful flowers cannot be grown from inferior Seeds.

England imports yearly an average of from 400,000,000 to 500,000,000 eggs. A Mississippi farmer named Fifth who lives near Sardis has not bought a barrel of meat within forty years. Christmas week 100,000 fish and 360 barrels of oysters were shipped from Cedar Keys Florida. Noxubee County, Miss ~ claims as its greatest living curiosity is a pig with well developed horns The horns are similar to those of a cow, though not so large. Delaware makes a remarkably good showing. Her receipts for the year have been a little over $140,000, and expenses a little over $90,000. Delaware, be it noted, is a democratic state and prac tices what she preaches—the simplici ty of Jefferson. The repudiationistMahone, threatens to make mischief unless the Republi can Senators elect him presiding officer, ivhen David Davis, steps down and out. He even hints that he might vote against the caucus nominee of the Re publicans, thereby securing the election of a Democrat for that position. The Cincinnati News says: If Hon. S. S. Cox had “about a foot more anat omy he would be a powerful candidate for Speaker,” and the Cleveland Plain Dealer says: Sam Cox once told us that if he had Fernando Wood’s height and Tom Florence’s stomache he would have been President of the United States long ago.^ At a spirits rapping the other night one of the most earnest and energetic messages was from a fellow who sent word to pay the printer. Said he, “I am inan electric light fire mixiug unmelted flint and diamonds foi home consump tion, and the old boy ivon’t let up on me until I have got my newspaper ac counts squared up. DeLong and Collins both laid down in their last long sleep amid the snows of the far off North, where ice peaks pointed heavenward for their monu ments, and the aurora' borealis illu minated their graves through the deso late Arctic night. In life they may have been divided, but in death they were united, and there is nothing now to be gained by recalling their quarrels or reviving their bitternesses. There is a negro woman among the state convicts who has been in the pen itentiary for eighteen years. Her iden tity has been entirely lost sight of. It is said she was sent up from Dougherty county, but the records give no account of her. The woman herself does not know upon what charge she was con victed. Gov. Stephens has announced his purpose to pardon her unless some information is obtained to change his mind. We think such clemency would be right. Americus is on a boom more than ever. We asked the reason of this the other day, and the reply of a well informed citizen of Albany explained the prosperity of Americus as duo to its public school system and to its banks. All our county, our merchants as well as farmers, will be more pros perous when the latter quit the credit system of purchasing supplies. Better go to the bank and pay a moderate in terest for the money .and pay down the cash for your bacon.— South Georgia Clarrion. A hundred volumes of sermons could not be more pregnant with an impress ive moral than Gambetta’s sad fate; it hangs out‘ as it were, storm signals to the wayfarer in life, and says: If this magnificent career, this matchless genius could be wrecked, by an illicit connection, how much greater caution need the ordinary men, unprotected by home or station, not employ to avoid similar pitfalls? One such mistake will blast the happiest life; onlv is needed. The New York World says: Nobody, actually nobody, who has used his head for any other purpose than to carry his hat, has ever doubted that the original trial and conviction of Porter were gov erned by military consideration but by political considerations. The real liti gants were Pope and McClellan, be tween whom Porter fared like Pickwick between the rival editions. Pope, being a man essentially base, and taking Mc- Clellan to be of his quality, really, no doubt believed that McClellan was capable of wishing to see Pope as his successor “come to grief ” It was hut a step from this to assure that sympa thized with McClellan, hence came Porter’s arrest, trial, condemnation and sentence. Confessing Three Murders. Mt. Vernon, Ohio, Jan. I.—Mrs. Stillwell, wife of Jay V. Stillwell, em ployed on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad, has made a confession on her death-bed of three murders. She is at the house of relatives in Knox county. The first was Benjamin Swi gart, her first husband, whom she says she killed in Maryville, Mo., in March, 1877, with the aid of her mother and brother. The second was a stranger, whom the same parties killed for his money while stopping at a boarding house. The third was her own daugh ter, aged fourteen years, whom she strangled in the presence of her mother at Rulo, Neb., in May, 1880. She also confessed that she attempted to kill her husband three times to obtain his life insurance. These confessions were first made to her husband, and since to others. She is dying of consumption.
