Paiuful Accident.
Friday morning while a number of
workmen, who were employed on Ed
Littleton’s house, a mile from town,
were just getting to work, the scaffold
fell, carrying down three or four
hands with it. Bob Gresham, white,
a son of Thos. Gresham, section mas
ter of the Southwestern Railroad, had
his left thigh broken, and George
Pinkham, colored, had a hand mash
ped and a nail driven through it. Drs.
Tom. E. Smith and J. B. Hinkle
were called in to attend the sufferers.
Nerve.
Wednesday eveninga horse bitched
to a buggy dashed madly up Lamar
itreet towards the public square. Two
adies were in the buggy, and al
though the street was lined with men
they were too awe-stricken to move.
%!rs. E. Barlow exhibited great pres
ence of mind and nerve, and kept a
tight told on the reins. She did not
become frightened, shriek and faint,
as customary with ladies, but bracing
herself she drew on the reins and
brought the animal to a halt near the
Artesian Well. Such coolness in
times of peril is very commendable.
That Pe Mon.
During the week a petition was cir
culated, and we are iii.nrmed, signed
by most of the citizens of Americus,
asking the Legislature not to pass an
act authorizing the Mayor and Coun
cil to levy one-fourth of one per cent,
tax for the purpose of erecting gas
and water works, and also requesting
that the compulsory vaccination act
he not passed. We hope that our
Representatives will act upon this
petition at once, and set it before
their body, as the people now feel
that the time has not yet come for the
erection of the works proposed. Of
course they would he of immense
benefit, but taxes are already too
heavy, and the people do not care to
add any more to the burden they
have to bear in this respect, and they
have gotten up this petition and
signed it almost to a man, so we have
heard.
Negro Knocked down by the Train.
A little smart negro boy, son of
Henry Hooks, a colored section hand
living at the shanties, four or five
miles from Americus on Capt. W.
VV. Poole’s place, in trying to cross
the railroad in front ofthe Thursday
evening’s Macon bound train, was
knocked down the hill of eternity,
with a cracked skull by the engine.
These smart boys nearly always get
caught on the fly, while showing off.
A Good Business.
Messrs. Oliver & Oliver, carriage,
buggy and wagon manufacturers, are
doing a splendid business. They are
building as good vehicles as you can
buy of northern manufacturers, and
doing it much cheaper, with a twelve
months guarantee. They have now
on hand something like twenty-five
of the famous Dexter Queen Buggies,
already finished up, that are sold,
waiting for delivery, and about as
many more in process of construction
—most of them ordered.
This firm is well prepared to do all
work in their line, havii g on hand
about thirty thousand feet of well
seasoned lumber, consisting of oak,
ash, hickory and poplar, a large
amount of leather for trimming, hair,
moss and excelsior, and some ofthe
best workmen to be found. Being
steady and industrious they areal
ways oh hand to give personal atten
tion to all business intrusted to them.
Their buggies and wagons stand the
test and give entire satisfaction. Ad
vertisement prepared fur this issue
will appear in our next.

You Won’t Go To-Niaht.
The division of Bethesda colored
church, has divided up families as
much as cruel masters did in times
of slavery. Husbands, wives and
children are arrayed against one an
other, and if the work goes on, may
result in bloodshed. Tuesday night
a wife of a Bethel member, said she
was going to the Bethesda church.
Her husband promptly responded,
“You will not go to-night.” She
said nothing, but proceeded to make
her arrangements. The husband eyed
every movement but kept silent.—
The old lady crawled over the pail
ings into a neighbor’s yard to pass
through the gate and escape her old
man, hut he met heronthesidewalk,
caught hold of her dress and held on,
while the irate old woman pounded
him in the face and over the head,
saying “I want to go to church.” His
only reply was, “not to-night.” He
held her thereuntil the meeting was
over ami then both went peaceably
home as if nothing had happened.

LETTER FROM MARION.
C hubchHill, Ga., July 12,1583
Editor Republican: It is possible
that not another place or section of
our country has been so much incon
venienced as to mail facilities as we
people of Church Hill, until recently;
but now through the efforts of a few
of our citizens we have a regular Uni
ted States mail, therefore I write you
this note informing you of the tact
and asking you to change the address
of my paper from Preston, Ga., to
Church Hill Ga.
We are needing rain to make our
corn crop a full one. Our prospects
for a crop is very good if we get rain
in a few days.
Of course, in common with every
body else we expect the rail road to
come by our place; and then no more
horse-hack or buggy mails, but on
the Iron Horse, not weekly or tri
weekly, but every da.'/.
I do not remember ever seeing you
at our place, and perhaps as I am
writing to you on business, it may
not be amiss to give you a description j
of our town.
Church Hill proper is about one
mile square, embracing in its extent
about two dozen families, ten of
whites and the balance freedmen,
amounting to about two hundred in
habitants. We have also fourchurch
es, three for the w hites and one for
the negroes, as follows for the whites:
one Baptist, one Methodist and one
Presbyterian, for the negroes, one
Methodist. We have a tine school
taught by Prof. S. R. Stevens, which
is now on a boom, numbering near
forty students. We have too one
house of merchandise in which is
kept for sale nearly anything the
country needs, at aland the same pri
ces of A mericus, except heavy gro
ceries; and now, having the Post Of
fice, we begin to feel quite indepen
dent.
Yesterday the people of the village
and surrounding country met and
hart a general cleaning up of church
yards and cemeteries with a view to
coming protracted meetings.
Respectfully, • Observer.
TRIP TO DAWSON.
Dear Republican:
I have been requested by our zeal
ous Vice-President, Mrs. Dr. Hard
wick, to ask permission of you, the
privilege of writing through the kind
ly medium of your columns, an ac
count of our recent trip to Dawson,
our daily attendance in the services
ofthe District Meeting and expeeial
l.v the interesting features of the ses
sion of Friday uf.ernoon, the larger
portion of which was devoted to the
interest of the Womans Foreign Mis
sionary Society. This is not fhtended
as a letter for the public, for abler pens
than mine, doubtless will render this
pleasure. But our object is to reach
the eyes and hearts ot the members
ot our Society, all of whom we trust,
a re subscribers to your valuable paper.
Oil! that they all could have been
present, and seen and heard as we
did, then indeed their hearts would
have burned within them for glad
ness and gratitude, but I must hasten.
On Thursday, 12th inst, incompaiiy
with Mrs. 0. W. Hancock, and .Mrs.
G. H. Tominey, we hade adieu fora
few days to home, and loved ones,
and boarded the train fur Dawsou.
Our hearts were buoyant with hope
and pleasure, mingled with gratitude
at the delightful privilege of going to
a District Meeting. Soon the ears
moved off, and in looking around to
see who were our fellow passengers,
we were gladdened at the sight of the
well known faces of Rev. J. O. A.
Cook,, Major. M. Speer and Mr. J. R.
Perry, all hound for the same desti
nation. On we went, passing fields of
waving corn, and sickly looking cot
ton, until the train moved into the
depot, and the city of Dawson
was reached. Quite a crowd at
the depot. Our dear Pa-tor took
charge of us, soon bringing up Rev.
G. C. Johnston, Pastor of Dawson M.
E. Church, who after a cordial greet
ing, assigned us to our respective
homes. According to special invita
tion we three ladies were sent to the
residence of Capt. T. 11. Pickett,
whose faithful wile we had known
and loved in girlhood days. The mo
ment we crossed her threshold, we
felt assured of our earnest welcome
that disfipated any feeling ofstrange
ness w e might have felt surrounded
by evidences of thrift and blessed
with an interesting family, consisting
of five boys and one bright little
daughter, these,our hospitable friends
are living ii quiet and happiness. We
found that the meeting had com
menced. All the ministers of the
District were present, beside a num
ber of distinguished visitors. Serv
ices were held at night, and the bus
iness session in the early morning.
Preaching at 11 o’clock. It was our
delightful privilege to bear Dr. W. 11.
Potter, of Macon, and what a grand,
good man he is.
Pleasant were the meetings with
friends and acquaintances, among
whom was Rev. P. S. Twitty, once
an Americus boy, now an earnest,
faithful, “Soldier ofthe Cross,” stead
ily advancing and progressing on to
that perfect rest, which awaits the
faithful, through the untiring exer
tions of our vigilant Vice-President,
the Conference gave Friday afternoon
to the Woman’s Foreign Missionary
Society. How fortunate were we in
securing such a place among such a
body of learned ministers and dele
gates. To the members of our Society
we would say, be no longer despair
ing or doubtful, for encouraged as w e
have been by these our brethren, who
have taken us by the hand, and wel
comed us as co-workers with them in
working for Jesus, we bid you take
heart and attend with us our regular
monthly meetings. The missionary
meeting was presided over by Rev.
J. M. Austin, to whom we desire to
return many thanks for his kindly
W'ords of cheer, and for needed assist
ance rendered us.
There were represented eight soci
eties of the District, each by a dele
gate, with a report of the status of her
Society. These reports were ail very
encouraging, showing that woman’s
work was on the increase, and much
good was being accomplished. The
Societies with delegates were as fol
lows: Oglethorpe, Mrs. J. B. Ward
law; Ellaville, Mis. C. H. Smith;
Americus, Mrs. S. S. Sullivan; Daw
son, Miss Annie Cheatham; Ward’s,
Mrs. H A. Crittenden; Cuthbert,
Mrs. Kiddon; Lumpkin, Mrs. Dr.
Barnutn; Providence, Miss Emma
Bryan.
Interspersing these reports, that
grand old hymn, “From Greenland’s
Icy Mountains” was sung, and every
voice joined in to swell the rapture
of cacti heart, as it silently re-conse
crated itself anew to the work of aid
ing in sending thegos|*-lofour“risen
and accepted Lord,” to the heathen
in the uttermost parts of the earth.”
It was an inspiring hour, for Dr. Pot
ter had preached on the subject of
“Woman's Work” in the morning,
and such a sermon on this subject it
was never our good fortune to listen
to before. Oh, that it could be pub
lished that every Methodist home in
Georgia might read bis words of truth
and encouragement. He is thorough
ly ingratiated heart and soul, with us
in our work, and as far as lies in his
power ever speaks a word of hope to
or for 11s.
At the close of the reports, we were
favored with an address from our
own dear pastor, which filled every
heart as his words of eloquence and
truth fell from his lips, inspired as
they ever are as he proclaims to dy
ing men the riches of the grace be
queathed us by a crucified Saviour.
Following this, Dr. Potter again ad
dressed the people in behalf of our
dear little paper “ The Woman's Mis
sionary Advocute, ’’ which, if it enter
ed every home where mother, wife
or daughter reigns, would be as an
“angel of light,” yielding precious in
fluences for purity and good Twen
ty-four subscribers was the result of
this endeavor, which though it did
not reach the number called for, still
for which we were grateful. Every
missionary woman in this land ought
to know Dr. Potter, for he indeed is
their champion and friend, using
alike the strength of his giant intel
lect with his prayers in defending wo
men frqfii censure and ridicule. I
think every heart in the church du
ring that sacred hour received a bap
tism fresh from the courts of Heaven,
for beaming faces, and eyes wet witli
tears, attested the fact, it was good to
have been there. We came away
with hearts strengthened and sus
tained by the results of that little
meeting, determined to work, more,
and to live less for self, and \pure for
the glory of our father.
Sunday at 11 o’clock Dr. Potter
preached in the Methodist, and Rev.
P. S. Twitty in the Baptist church.
Monday dawned, and with this fact,
came the knowledge that afier such
a pleasant session, the district meet
ing was over to meet again next year
in Americus. This we are proud of,
and in the name of Americus, and
our missionary society we extend a
cordial greeting to come one and all,
and we will try to return Dawson’s
lavish hospitality by opening to her
kind people our hearts and homes,
bidding them welcome that we may
again enjoy together the success
which we trust will he ours after the
passing away of another year. It be
cnmesjus as a.society toextend to these
our sisters ofthe same district, presid
ed over by our own Vice-President,
to mingle more with each other, and
consult and study together our plans
and purposes,!hat we may more fully
abound in grace and good works in
our mission. I have tried to render
you a faithful account of the part as
signed us in the district meeting,
trusting that each and every member
on our roll, will do what she can in
assisting us in our work. You will he
henefitted, and your duties will not
prove onerous hut profitable. It
would he so ungrateful in me to con
clude without returning our thanks
and deep gratitude to those dear
friends who contributed so much to
our happiness and comfort whilein
Dawson. All were kind, yet we feel
compelled to make special mention
of our worthy host and hostess, Capt.
T. 11. Pickett and wife, who render
ed our home so pleasant and com
fortable. May their life he a success,
and their little “olive plants” as joys
forever to them. Then to our kind
friends, Mr. and Mrs. John Perry,who
lavished such princely hospitalities
on us, and at whose home we spent
so many pleasant hours, we beg leave
to assure them, that we pray heav
en’s choicest blessings ever for them
and theirs, and that thechiling winds
of adversity may never wither or
blight the peace that surrounds their
home. Here we found Mrs. Annie
Bird Lee, who contributed so largely
to our comfort and pleasure w hile
there. May her happiness remain as
a solid rock while she lives, and
moves in this life. Again were we
indebted for pleasant hours of social
converse to Dr. Paschal and his love
ly wife (in whom we were so fortun
ate as to meet a kinswoman.) The
delightful evening spent with them
in their beautiful home, surrounded
by- all that can make home so cheerful
and bright, we shall never forget,
and beg leave to assure these, our
friends, that Dawson and her hospit
able people, will ever have a warm
place in the hearts of the delegates
from Americus, who attended the
district meeting of July 1883.

Has swept over our people, and like those
in the larger cities of the country, they are
at last appreciating the advantages of trad
ing with stores earning special lines of
goods, where everything modern is pre
sented.
No man ar boy in tlio habit of wearing
first ciuss, nobby goods now thinks of limit
ing in haidwaie, grocery or dry goods stores
for a nice, late style suit of clothing, nor for
any article of we l-niade underwear. The
male population are having their own spe
cial stocks to select from, and no better evi
dence ot it is seen than by the elegant and
complete stock of CLOTHING, HATS and
GENTS’and BOYS’FURNISHINGUOODB

lie the times, go when >ou will, Gyles’ Store
is full ot purchasers, and the best of it is
that lie satisfies everybody His old cus
tomers stick to him, and new ones are daily
