A Milk-Giving Calf.
Wright Brady has come to the front
with a fourteen months calfthatgives
milk. He thinks he has the coming
cow, that will produce milk enough
to float a gun boat, and he intends
tiiat she shall be the prize cow of the
State. Half a dozen men, who have
seen the calf milked, think there is a
mystery about it, but acknowledge it
is pure, unadulterated, sweet milk.
First Bale From Lee.
On Tuesday evening, the 7th inst.,
Capt. C. W. Felder received the first
bale of new cotton from Lee county,
it was from the plantation of Mrs.
G. W. Barrow, classed as good mid
dling, weighed 381 lbs., and was ship
ped to J. S. Woods & Bro., of Savan
nah, witii instructions to sell for 15
cents per pound.

Federal Grave* to be Deoorated Wed
nesday.
Mr. Frank W. Smith, of Toledo,
Ohio, is in the city, on a mission of
respect to the memory ot those who
“sleep the sleep that hnows no wak
ing” at Andersonville, of the Federal
Army. He, we learn, was once a
prisoner at that place. He, of course,
should have a tender sympathy for
those who suffered with him there,
and who died there. We can respect
this sympathy, for there was suffering
of Southern men in Northern prisons.
The war is ended, peace brings its
blessings to the survivors, and the
dead of both sides, should be sacred
to the whole Union. On Wednesday
next Mr. Smith will decorate the
fourteen thousand graves at Ander
sonville, with Federal flags. We
suppose there are many people in
Americus who would like to be pres
ent on the occasion, and an effort will
be made to get transportation over
the rail road to carry all who wish to
go. Speeches etc. will be made, and
a sermon, we believe, will be deliver
ed. Notice wili be given in one of
the churches of this city, and a pro
gramme made out for the occasion.
Religion in a Corn Field.
An old negro man was plowing in
a field belonging to Capt. O. A. Crit
tenden, near Ward’s Station, one hot
day recently, when he gave a yell of
mortal agony that awoke the people
who were in hearing fora mile around.
As the shouting and yelling contin
ued, white and black people hurried
out into the hot sunshine to see what
ailed him. A worthy Hibernian was
one of the first to reach the nigger,
who was yelling “The grace of God!”
all the time and jumping up and
down as if covered with hornets.
The Irishman turned to the others,
saying: “He sthruk wid sun stroke,
be Jasus. Sind for the dhoctor; be
asiy and quick!” and turning to the
darkey tried to get him in the shade,
saying: “Come now, ’Lisha, and be
after keeping cool for a little.” Three
or four negroes were employed in
bringing water in buckets with which
he was doused, but still the pAncing
and shouting continued. Mrs. Crit
tenden reached them and the darkey
yelled: “The Grace of God, Miss
Julia,” and she said, “He’s got reli
gion.” The negro said, “Yes,” and
the disgusted Irishman turned away
muttering: “The damn fool for hol
lowing like the divil was holt of him,
and fooling a gossoon a half mile in
this hot sun! Aught to be kilt, in
thirely.”
Sad Death.
Mrs. Jennie Hill Warwick,
wife of Col. G. W. Warwick, of
Smithville, died at their residence on
Friday morning, of Typhoid fever
and heart disease, aged about twen
ty-one years. She was the daughter
of Mrs. S. M. Hill, of Macon. Her
remains were carried to that city on
the afternoon train of Friday. She
leaves an infant child of scarce twelve
months age, and a sorrowing hus
band, to mourn her untimely death.
A Good Time.
On Wednesday Miss Cora Prince
invited an equal number of young
ladies and gentlemen to an entertain
ment at Magnolia Springs, given by
herself. She furnished transportation
to and from the Springs; and, as we
learn, the party had a royal time.
Miss Cora, as a Princess, made the
occasion one of the most pleasant that
ever was enjoyed under the green
boughs that shadow the vale of Mag
nolia Springs, and the entire party
bless and praise the little fairy for the
pleasure she gave them.
Off for Texas.
Robert Sullivan and Colwin Spear,
two as clever boys as every breathed,
quit Americus last Wednesday to
make their home in Texas. These
boys are possessed of the right sort of
pluck, and we make the prediction
that in a few years they will be num
bered among the rising young busi
ness men of Fort Worth, which city
they expect to make their future
home. Many friends wish them bon
voyage, and a happy and prosperous
future.

Brandy Peaches.
Mr. W. Hughes Barlow, of Long
wood, Fla., was in Americus a few
days ago and purchased five or six
barrels of fine peaches. These he put
up in brandy, and shipped to his home
in Florida, where he proposes to sell
them. Here is another industry our
fruit growers can make profitable.
We think it could be made a paying
business, as brandy peaches are never
at a discount with peach brandy lov
ers.

A Bold Bad Burglar.
Thursday night a young married
man of this city was awakened by his
wife who was in'a state of mortal terror
and informed him that a burglar was
trying to saw his way into the house,
and requesting him to get up and in
vestigate. About forty thousand lit
tle chills passed through his body as
he reluctantly obeyed, and the terror
of the pair was very much increased
as the rasping noise of the saw seem
ed to grow louder. The young mar,
ried man’s heart was thumping like
hail-stones on a board roof as he cau
tiously approached the window from
which the noise seemed to proceed.
Furtively peering into the darkness,
he could see no burglar, but at that
juncture plainly recognized the noise
as the gutteral croak of a tree frog on
an adjacent tree. The young man
again sought his couch muttering
something about women being so
easily frightened, but a deliciously
sweet feeling of assurance stole over
him nevertheless.

The Runt of the Family.
Ben. Wheeler says, he and Berry
Lingo once went to Augusta together,
and while sitting in front of the
Globe, were approached by a neatly
dressed, dyspeptic looking gentleman
who asked: “Where you from gen
tlemen?” “Southwest Georgia,” re
plied Ben. “What! from that sickly
section? I’ve got a son down there,
and I’m afraid lie’ll die, if ho stays
there, so I am going to make him
come home. People all sickly and
die soon down there, don’t they?”
Ben who weighs about 210 pounds
replied: “My mother had nine chil
dren, and I’m the runt of the family;
never was sick in my life.” The Au
gusta man got up looked over Ben.
and Berry, heaved a sigh that sound
ed like .the wail of a lost hope and
turning on his heel vanished.

water and other fluids.”
The “Children’s Guild” of Calvary
Episcopal Churcli will give an ice
cream festival on Tuesday next, the
14th inst, at the lawn in front of Mr.
Dibble’s residence, commencing at
5:30 p. m. The ladies are anxious to
raise money sufficient to purchase a
library for the Sabbath School. We
know from the parties who have the
matter in charge that a good time
may be expected by those who attend.
An eminent writer thus speaks of
the old maid: “Her days arc days of
pleasantness, and her nights are
nights of peace. She goes to bed when
she pleases and does not leave one
ear uncovered to listen for uncertain
steps and wavering night-key of a
late coming husband. Neither does
she turn restlessly on her pillow be
side a sober, snoring spouse, and
wonder, and wonder, where the chil
dren’s school-books or the family
flannels are to come from; but she
drops into peaceful slumber to dream
of her old love, and wakes to wonder
whether married life with her could
ever become the sordid, meager affair
which it is to so many husbands and
wives.”

Miss Less Windsor, Miss Lou Adams,

families. Miss Lou Adams didn’t
attend, from satisfactory reasons.
. At about lialf-past eightsupperwas
announced. We went to the dining
room and found a most magnificent
one—one that would suffice to satisfy
the appetites of the most fastidious.
After supper we were highly enter
tained in social conversation and with
violin and harp music by Messrs.
Poole & Womack, and piano by the
young ladies. Miss Irene Toole was
as gay as a butterfly, and did all she
could for the comfort and enjoyment
.of all present, while Clyde, in his
good old familiar way, made us all
feel like we had met at home one
more time to have a good old jubilee.
Many thanks to Clyde and his little
sis for their courtesy; and, I hope the
time may not be far distant when
another similar occasion will present
itself. Respectfully, Rickety.

Pie Nic and Fish Fry at Philemmy.
Avery pleasant time was had by
those who attended the Fish Fry at
Philemmy last Tuesday. It was giv
en by the young ladies of the neigh
borhood in honor of the following
visitihg friends: Misses Ada and
Lena Graham, of Dooly, Fannie
Mosely, of Lowndes and May Pryor
of Tennessee. The other young la
dies present were Misses Mamie
Gatewood, Annie AVilson, Callie and
Jennie Pryor and Lizzie Dozier of
neighborhood, Misses Rena Hardy,
Lena Haynes and Emma Dodson from
Americus, all under the charge and
care of the agreeable and pleasant
Mrs. Henry Glover. It is not neces
sary to say that there were also boys
along, for who ever heard of an occa
sion of this kind when the boys were
not on hand. Gus Willett was there
with part of a carload of Ice. There
was also Brice Adams, of the neigh
borhood who did every thing in his
power to make the time pass off pleas
antly. There never was a crowd that
enjoyed themselves more. The din
ner that was prepared by Mrs. Glov

ly splendid, and all did justice to it.

Tribute to Robert I’. Williamson.
F.Y A FRIEND.
Let memory roll back the screen of
a few short years, and we will see a
meteor of unusual splendor emerge
from the horizon of life. Cast among
others higher in ascent, it was not the
pleasure of the writer, to particular
ly mark the power of this new star,
’till it had well cleared the eastern
horizon of life, and had grown so
dazling and bright, that it had at
tracted the whole intellectual world
within its sphere. Wonder and sur
prise, hope and expectation, thrilled
the hearts of the admirers of what
promised to be the brightest light
that had ever shone in its sphere.
But now a gloom of the deepest
sorrow and regret prevails. That
brilliant light has been eclipsed by
death. Robert AVillamson, one of
the most promising intellects, of the
constellation of iiis age, has been ob
scured at this point where time and
eternity meet.
lie has gone to the undiscovered
country. Whether his journey was
one brief moment across the myster
ies that connect life with that invisi
ble shore we do not know.
Whether on that bright Sabbath
day, he was permitted to view a scene
of celestial splendor, or whether his
pathet dust lays dormant and still,
we do not know.
AVhether his strong and energetic
mind lias found vent in another
sphere where he strives to reacli the
pinnacle of a celestial fame, or wheth
er his mind was dissolved with his
parting breath, we do not know.
These questions eternity must an
swer.
Yet we are not left in blankdispair.
While we cannot explain the myster
ies of death, when viewed in the
light of reason and seience, we have
infinite hope and encouragement.
For everywhere in nature do we see
the reign of a benificent law.
Though our friend has crossed the
unfathomable stream, we call death,
his memory is loft us. Myriads of
school-mates and friends, who lived
with him through the changeful past,
in future years will often stray back
through memories halls, in sweet
memory of Robert Williamson,
as grand a young life as ever braved
the waves over life’s ocean foam.
AVe remember the times and places
we saw him last. The pleasant and
profitable hours spent with him, are
stamped indelibly on memories rec
ord. The after glow of all the virtues
of his short and well spent life, will
be radiant in the horizon of a thous
and years, and inspire noble youth to
seek the reward, that only virtue
gains. He has met the inevitable.
Friends could not avert the blow, that
at some time must end the life of all.
Yet his memory is our possession.
Posterity is better that he iias lived.
AVe are better and nobler that he has
been among us.
In sorrow we turn from this im
penetrable veil of death, but not
without hope.
For all along the various pathways
of our lives, nature lias profusely
strewn her rarest flowers, their blend
ing hues, and fragrant breath fill us
with joy. The warm sunshine, every
where beaming on the face of nature,
giving life and vigor to all its pro
ductions and inhabitants fills us with
awe admiration. AVhen the veil of
night is drawn over the day, not
darkness, but a more magnificent
light appears.
So over the barren hills, and wide
and verdant vallies of life we wend
our course toward tiie whence and
whither.
