About to Expire.
It is a matter of congratulation on
the part of the good citizens of Amer
icus that the licenses of the hucksters
on the county ground are about to
expire and will probably not be re
newed.
Fair Weather.
That old and venerable institution,
“The weather,” came out on Tues
day morning, the 23rd, in a fine suit
of sunshine and Farenheit tempera
ture, all satisfactory, and farmers will
take a gee haw notice and govern
themselves accordingly.
Why he Didn't Bring It.
A juror was asked why he didn’t
bring a load of wood Monday morn
ing. He replied, if I had it would
have brought upon me a valuable
whipping—referring to the.fines im
posed on absentees. The roads are
.bad and I would have been delayed
Tn getting here, and delay in this case
would have proved dangerous.
Gardening,
Horticulture is now in order. The
seed are here in quantities, and of as
good quality as can be found on this
Continent. No reason or excuse can
hold good where the head of a family
has a quarter of an acre in which to
plant his seed, that he does not have
a garden full of vegetables to mix
with his bought edibles to keep all
the household in good health during
the summer and fall.
In New Quarters.
Mr. J. E. Mathis has taken his
stock of groceries, fruits, confection
aries, etc., to the late stand of I. N.
Hart <fc|Co., on"the north side of the
public square, where he invites the
public to call on him for anything
needed in his line. He intends to keep
one of the most complete grocery
houses in the city, with a full line of
fine liquors, tobaccoes, cigars, &c., al
ways on hand. Try him and you’ll
find that he is far cheaper, in price of
goods, than you’ve found it else
where.
Going to Brunswick.
We learn that a number of gentle
men of Lee county will soon go on an
excursion to Cumberland Island, via.
Brunswick. Among the number will
be the great Georgia wit, Kit War
ren, who has an extended reputation
as author of "Army Straggler,” “Ups
and Downs of Wife Hunting,” Ac*
Now the good people of Brunswick
should capture Kit and get him to de
liver his “Baby lecture.” If they
love something rich, witty and real
good they’ll post their sentinels and
keep every avenue guarded so that
Kit Warren may not escape from
their city before he delivers that lec
ture. It is the very thing that Brun
swick needs, and they must have it.
Superior Court.
The adjourned term of Sumter Su
perior court was organized at 10 a. m.
Monday by Judge Fort, Solicitor
General Hudson present. There
were but few members of the bar
from other points present. Among
them we notice the graceful and
manly form of Col. Warwick, of
Smithville. Jurors generally respon
ded. Those absent and not accoun
ted for werp allowed the patriotic
privilege of aiding the county treasu
ry five dollars each. This consider
ation and the jury per diem of two
dollars make up the nicelittle Induce
ment of seven dollars per day, which
in these “piping times” of impecuni
osity, is enough to make the average
juryman prompt and responsive.
The following cases were disposed
of on Monday:

Dead as Hell.
Last Wednesday night after the
Katie Putnam performance, one of
the actors was attacked with a fit and
fell on the floor. A call was made for
a physician. A gentleman from a
neighboring town was present, who
was a good practitioner and quite suc
cessful, but was then inspired with
too free a use of red juice. He went
to the prostrate man, felt around for
his arm and succeeded in getting his
fingers around the leg of a chair. Af
ter holding it a few seconds he mutter
ed: “Epilepsy; Epilepsy, by G—d.
No pulse at all. Why the man is
dead. Dead as hell, by G —d! If he
aint too dead pour a little whiskey

Ellaville. Ga., January 24th, 1883,
John S. Allen is quite ill with ty
phoid pneumonia.
The young people had quite a nice
party at Capt. C. L. Peacock’s last
night.
The Ellaville merchants complain
of trade being quite slow. Adver
tise gentlemen.
We doubt that there were over two
hundred acres sown in wheat last
fall in Schley county.
The blue and the red birds are
among us again, but we think they
are a little “previous.”
In some sections the negroes are
not done taking Christmas yet, and
farm work has not begun in those
sections.
Our public roads are in the worst
condition that we have seen them
for many years. Overseers should
be up and doing as soon as possible.
With cotton now at eight cents and
the probability of it being no better
this fall, use but little guano and more
leaf mold, and plant cotton only as a
surplus crop.
One negro in the nine hundred and
sixty-first district accused another of
stealing a chicken, whereupon the ac
cused party has begun a suit in a Jus
tice court for slander and fifty dollars
damages.
Farmers, remember what bad
weather you had and the difficulty
in getting your cotton picked when
your notes fell due last fall, and avoid
the future trouble by making but few
notes and them payable at a later
date.
On account of rains and the late
gathering of the cotton crop last fall,
our farmfers did not sow many oats,
and we have had such inclement
weather since Christmas that it has
been difficult to sow any since then,
and we fear that there will not be the
area sown that there was even last
year. Fertilize well aud keep sow
ing until the last of February, for it
will never do to miss this crop.
We are informed that when Depu
ty United States Marshals Brown and
Cash came into Schley county last
Friday morning to dispossess and ar
rest Amos Wiggins, et al ., that upon
arriving at Wiggins’ house Mrs. W.
informed them that her husband was
not at home, but instead of
giving her time to move her house
furniture they ordered her and her
infant out of doors into the rain and
tumbled the house furniture out be
hind them, breaking it up shamefully.
Schley’s citizens are gentlemen, and
if the United States cannot have gen
tlemen of better civilization, if not
sociability, for officers to execute
their laws humanely, she had better
hide her face in barbarism.

A Sister Rescued By Her Brothers
from Inhuman Foster Parents--
A Terrible Story.
Oswego,N. Y.,Jan. 20.— John Hick
ey, a well to do farmer, and Mary Jane,
his wife, were held for SI,OOO bail yes
terday, on the charge of cruglty to Osee
Everett, a girl now 19 years of age,
whom Hickey took from her poor pa
rents eight years ago, promising to
bring her up. When they first obtain
ed possession of her she was a healthy
child, but she is now maimed and mu
tilated, being hardly more than a skele
ton, weighing only sixty-seven pounds.
The discovery of her horrible condition
was made about a week ago by her
brothers. They immediately had her
torturers arrested, when she was re
moved from the pen in which the Hick
eys had kept her. She presented a
frightful appearance. On her head
were a score of long and deep gashes,
and her arms, legs and body were simi
larly disfigured. Her face bears hardly
any semblance to humanity. The clothes
she wore when recovered stuck to her
body and her stockings had to be cut
from her gashed feet and limbs. She
accounts tor every bruise and gash, and
can tell when they were inflicted. She
can neither count, spell nor read, and
can scarcely talk intelligibly. She says
she was kept in a cold, open shed in
winter. At night Mrs. Hickey would
throw cold water over her so that it
froze in her hair, froze her toes so that
large portions of them fell off. The tes
timony of her neighbors and her own
simple statement combined made the
case a most horrible one. It can’t prop
erly be described in print. In addition
to criminal proceedings against Hickey,
civil action will also be brought against
him for SIO,OOO in the name of the girl’s
brothers to Becure partial remuneration
for her sufferings.
