colored church was before Judge Pils
bury, Wednesday,charged with seduc

dred dollars for appearance before

Court.
Too Much Egg,
J. W. Jordan, Sr., of Lee, we are
informed had rather a queer egg bro
ken, the other day, in preparing a
dish for dinner. The first shell was
broken and found to contain the white
of an egg and another egg in it. The
second egg also contained a smaller
one in it, thus making three eggs.
How did these eggs get inside of one
another?
Burglars About.
Jim Guerry says that on Thursday
night he heard someone trying to get
in at a window of his house. He
went and looked out, saw a negro,
reached for his pistol and the negro
ran. He fired, but as the negro was
some distance, it is supposed that he
missed his mark. Jim Jackson also
fired at a man who was prowling
around his mother’s place, investiga
ting the windows and doors the same
night.
Death of an Infant.
We learn that an infant child about
three months old, of Mr. and Mrs.
Jno. Murphy, died at their home in
Waycross on the morning of the 10th.
Mrs. Murphy was a daughter of Mr.
B. R. Folsom, formerly a citizen of
this place. The blow was a sad one
to the parents, and leaves a void in
their hearts no earthly thing can fill.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies
to the bereaved parents.
Leg Broken.
We learn that Archie Goss, a young
man living a few miles from Preston,
was thrown by a mule last Sunday
week and had a thigh broken. It was
set by local physicians, but mortifi
cation set in from the foot up to the
knee, and Mr. Goss suffered very
much. On Wednesday of this week,
he sent for Dr. J. B. Hinkle, of this
city, who amputated the leg below
the knee. At last accounts Mr. Goss
was resting much easier, but the doc
tor says thero is little hope he will
ever recover.
Did Bhe Die?
“No; she lingered and suffered
“along* pining away all the time for
“years, the doctors doing her no good
“and at last was cured by this Hop
“Bitters the papers say so much
“about. Indeed! indeed! how thank
“ful we should be for that medicine.”
A Bashful Man.
A friend tells us of a young man
down near the river who was to be
married on a certain night. He had
seen and loved the girl, and was too
bashful to do his courting, so it had
been done by proxy. The day had
arrived, the guests assembled, the
license procured, the parson on hand
and the bride ready, but the youthful
groom did not turn up. The friend
who had done the courting went out
and after looking around found him
sitting or lying in a horse trough.
On asking why he did not go to the
house to be married he said: “O, I
can’t go thar and stand before them
folks.” “Oh, yes, you can; every
body in there is married but your
girl. Come on.” “Get her to come
out doors, and we’ll marry under the
shed, but let the old folks stay in the
house.” The friend went back, got
the girl and parson out without exci
ting suspicion, and they were mar
ried. The company waited two or
three hours, and on being invited to
supper were introduced to the bride
and groom. They became so indig
nant that all left without partaking of
the supper.
Election of School Principal.
At a meeting of the Board of Pub
lic Education of the city of Americus
on Friday afternoon, G. J. Orr, Jr.,
of Atlanta, was elected Principal of
the High School. At a previous meet
ing the following teachers were elect
ed: Mrs. G. H. DeJarnette, Assistant
High School; Mrs. Julia A. Pickett,
Grammar School; Mrs. I). T. Wilson,
Intermediate; Miss R. B. Cowles, Ist
Primary: Miss Ruth Brown, 2nd Pri
mary; Miss Sallie Wheeler, 3d Pri
mary.
Shooting Affray.
We are informed that a young man
by the name of Joseph Murphy, for
mally of Alabama, while returning
from Americus last Saturday stopped
at a negro picnic near Dr. J. A. Parks,
when a dispute arose between him
and a negio boy named Henry Bais
den about whiskey or money (re
ports conflict) when Murphy drew a
pistol and shot at Henry, some say
two, some three, and some four times.
Henry was not hit, but one ball made
a slight wound on the side of another
boy who was near. Murphy had not
been arrested up to last reports, and
as we have heard a dozen different,
reports about the above, cannot
say that a word of the above is true,
only that somebody was slightly shot.
The Fence Election.
Friday the fight between the
“Fence” and “No Fence” men, took
place. The skirmish in town contin
ued all day. At three o’clock the
Fence party had polled 315, the oppo
sition 111. The news from the 15th
district gave the vote as solid for the
fence. We can’t say that this is reli
able. Some of the knowing ones
think that fence will be carried in the
county by ten to one.
LATER.
The whole number of votes polled
in Americus 538. For Fence, 414; No
Fence, 124. Fence Majority, 290.
Fire.
On Wednesday evening about sev
en and a half o’clock, a fire occurred
on Jackson street, destroying the
dwelling occupied by Mrs. Henrietta
Marcus, kitchen and servant room,
with most of the furniture, clothing
and provisions. The house belonged
to Ilarrold, Johnson & Cos., and was
insured in the Continental Insurance
Cos., of New York for $1,050. The
loss was about $750, or thereabouts.
The fire companies were all out in
force, and though they could not
save the burning buildings, they kept
the adjoining dwellings from burn
ing, and thus did much good.

have been in the city the present

them to our citizens as every way
worthy of their confidende and sup

BRIGHT JULY STARS.
A Few of the Planets Which May be
Seen this Month.
A stellor contributor says that it
will be an iuteresting study to note
the rising of the morning stars during
J uly, as they appear one after anoth
er above the horizon. Neptune is
the first of the five and rose on the
first at 1:30 a. m. On he 31st he rises
about 11:30 p. m. Mars is the morn
ing star and will be in conjunction
with Saturn on the morning of the
20th, both planets rising that morn
ing soon after la. m. Saturn is the
morning star, and will take on a more
splendid appearance at his coming
opposition than he has done for near
ly thirty years. His widely open
rings, his high northern declination
and his approaching perihelion form
specially favorably conditions for ob
servation. These conditions will cul
minate in 1885. Saturn rose on the
first at about 2:30 o’clock in the morn
ing; on the 31st he rises at 12:30
o’clock.
Venus is morning star. The in
teresting incidents in her progress
arc her near vicinity to Mercury in
the first part of the month, and her
near vicinity to Jupiter in the last
part of the month. Venus was in
conjunction with Mercury on the 3d
at 11 p. m., and on the Bth at 11 p. m.
She rose on the Ist a few’ minutes af
ter 3a. m., and rises on the 31st at
3:45 a. m. Mercury is morning star
until the 29th and evening star the
rest of the month, ending his career
as morning star at 0 p. m., in superior
conjunction with the sun. On the
20th, at 4a. m., Mercury is in con
junction with Jupiter. Mercury rose
on the Ist about a quarter after 3
o’clock in the morning; on the 31st
he sets at 7:30 o’clock in the evening.
Jupiter w’as evening star until the
sth, and morning star for the rest of
the month. The giant planet is a
busy member of the solar communi
ty during July, as a chief actor in
four of its principal incidents. He is
in conjunction with the sun, in con
junction with the moon, in conjunc
tion with Mercury, and in conjunc
tion with Venus. On the sth at 10
o’clock in the morning, he was in
conjunction with the sun, one of the
grandest epochs of his course. He
rose and went down with the sun,
was entirely hidden in his rays, pass
ing behind him, and, after conjunc
tion, appearing on his western side.
He then commenced his course as.
morning star, and before the month
closes will be visible in the northeast
shortly before sunrise. Jupiter went
down on the first, shortly after 7:30
o’clock in the evening on the 31st, he
rises not far from 3:30 o’clock in the
morning. Uranus is evening star.
Uranus went down on the first at 11
o’clock in the evening: on the 31st he
sets soon after 9 o’clock.

This bright and lovely July morn
ing, as a gay party of young people
were starting off for a good time in
Cusseta, my friend and self started out
in the same pursuit; that of pleasure—
though, unlike them, we found pleasant
companionship within ourselves, inde
pendent of a party of the sterner sex.
Our way lay up hill and down; over
roads rough and stony .through delight
fully cool strips of swamp land, and
we lingered on the turn-pike enjoying
to the utmost, the grand scenery, the
huge forest trees, draped with graceful
vines and long grey moss, made a pic
ture beautiful for the eye to rest upon.
Well, we chatted as we drove along;
it is needless to say of what, any lady
of maturer years can tell you, of the
weather, the crops, the “late meeting”
and S. S. Convention, and of onr own
affairs and that of our neighbors in
general, and soon we come to our jour
neys end, the dwelling of Mr. Willis
Little. Fonr.d his wife had just gone
to a neighbor’s to spend the day, and
rather than recall her, we wended onr
way thitherward to the home of Mr.
Wesley Saulter, and fully were we re
paid for the extra drive, for although
tons they were strangers, never had we
a warmer welcome, or a more pleast
ant day. The courteous host and
hostess and the pretty bride, youug
Mrs. S., treated us more like expected
guests than intruders. We also met
there Mrs. Threld Reid; a sister of the
late Dr. Brewer of “Lung Balsam”
fame; who, judging from appearances,
must he worth her weight in gold,
which is saying uo little. Crops, in
this portion, and everything looks neat
and thrifty. Mr. Saulter owns the old
home of Dr. Kaigler, who went hence
to Texas. I wonder if his thoughts
do not often revert to that place, and
if‘he does not wish himself back again
on good old Georgia soil. Returning
to Mr. Little’s pretty home we fini. li
ed our visit, well satisfied with our
drive, and with a strong desire to re
peat it some day in the near future.
Ellaville, July 10th. D.
There was a telegram received here
from Smithville yesterday stating
that there was a colored boy arrested
on suspicion for having on his person
one hundred and fifty dollars. Now
is the chance for that unfortunate gen
tleman who some weeks ago lost that
amount.
The above is a paragraph clipped
from the Ameiicus Recorder of Fri
day 13th. I desire to express my
contempt for a man or men who would
deliberately publish a contemptible,
malicious falsehood—as some would
express it a d—m lie. No such tele
gram has ever been received in Amer
icus by any one. It was intended to
cast odium or ridicule upon me, and
I hereby put the parties who are re
sponsible on their metal. I pronounce
it a lie, and denounce a paper which
will make itself a tool to give pub
licity to the ill will of any man, who
is too much of a coward to shoulder
the expression of his dislike. To any
man or men that is not satisfied with
the d—m lie lam responsible.

ing with stores carrying special lines of
goods, where everything modern is pre
sented.
No man or boy in the habit of wearing
first class, nobby goods now thinks of hunt
ing in haidware, grocery or dry goods stores
for a nice, late style suit of clothing, nor for
any article of well-made underwear. The
male population are having their own spe
cial stocks to select from, and no better evi
dence of it is seen than by the elegant and
complete stock of CLOTHING, HATS and
GENTS’ and BOYS’ FURNISHINGGOODS
kept by Gyles, the Clothier. Dull as may
be the times, go when you will, Gyles’ Store
is full of purchasers, and the best of it is
that he satisfies everybody His old cus
tomers stick to him, and new ones are daily
and hourly added to his already long list.
For the rest of the season his prices of
clothing are very much reduced to close out
the remainder of his spring stock. Call
early and get a bargain.
