Runaway at Magnolia Springs.
• On Sunday last, as Prof. G.M. Pat-
Tcrson, with his wife and little son,
were riding down the long hill, near
Magnolia Springs, in a buggy drawn
by a mule, the mule started kicking
and running down the bill. They
were all thrown out, Captain Patter
son falling on his back and shoulders
was severely bruised and jarred, Mrs.
Patterson was unhurt. The little boy
had a severe cut on the head back of
one ear, and some bad bruises. Dr.
A. J. Logan attended the sufferers.
It was quite a miraculous escape as
several other buggies were on the
hill, which is a long and steep one,
at the time.

An Attempt to Assassinate.
Last Saturday night as Mr. Bill
Ratler was on his way to sit up with
a sick child of Sid Hayes, lie was sa
luted by a pistol shot from behind
him, the hall passing through his hat.
Ho first ran twenty or thirty steps,
while he was pursued by the party in
ambush, who continued firing until
live shots were inaccurately aimed at
him. By this time Ratler recovered
presence of mind, turned on Ids
enemy, who ran, as ho (Ratler) fired
ids pistol four times at him.
We learn that Mr. Ratler is at a loss
to know the intention of the would
be assassin, as lie lias been and is on

Mad Dog Killed.
Sunday morning Dr. Thomas E.
Smith, found ids favorite dog suf
fering, as ha thought, from poison or
a snake bite. Soon after the discov
ery lie was called off, and in a little
while his wife went to see her mother,
leaving Miss Nellie Bass, a young
white girl alone. At noon she gave
the dog something to eat, and he tried
to bite her. Noticing that his eyes
were green and that lie was frothing
at the mouth and snapping at every
thing in reach, she took a double bar
roll shot gun and gave him two doses.
This did not kill him and she procur
ed a revolver and put six balls into
his body and his spirit quietly left
for the happy dog country across the
styx.

The sale of tho first hale of cotton

afternoon at the Board of Trade. The

Railroad Meeting.
The citizens of Marion are to hold a
mass meeting at Buena Vista, on
Thursday, the 23d inst., in the interest
of railroad facilities for their section.
They give a grand barbecue on the
occasion, and invite all who feel so
inclined to come and partake. We
are creditably informed that at least
three routes are spoken of—one from
Buena Vista via Bostwick, on the
Muscogee railroadjone via Oglethorpe,
and the other via Americus. Each
route has its advocates, hut upon one
thing all are agreed—they must have
railroad communication, and arc will
ing to contribute of their means to
secure this. What will Americus do
in tho matter? Will she lie quiet and
let slip her golden opportunity? Will
not some of her wide-awake citizens
take steps to have her represented at
that meeting? Nay, more, will they
not seo to it that those who may rep
resent her there are authorized to
make definite propositions looking
towards bringing the road here? We
hope someone may take interest in
tho matter, and that such action may
be had as will promote her welfare.
Who will take the initiatory?

TO THE PUBLIC.
The proprietor takes pleasure in
announcing to the patrons of the Re
publican that I’rof. It. V. Forrester,
a gentleman well known throughout
this section of the State, who for
years past lias been connected with
various institutions of learning, lias
accepted the position of associate city
editor on this paper, and general
agent in the collection ofall accounts
due this office. Prof. Forrester is a
gentleman of fine ability, and wields
a strong and vigorous pen, and though
he has had no experience as an edito
rial writer, yet we feel assured that
he will make the local department of
the Republican a faithful mirror of
the city’s daily doings, and advance
particularly the interests of tho city,
omitting no opportunity to advocate
any measure which lias that tendency.
With such an able coadjutor the pro
prietor feels that ho will be enabled
to render the Republican even more
deserving of that liberal support and
patronage that has been extended it
for the past thirty years.
We therefore take great pleasure in
introducing Prof. Forrester to the
readers of the Republican as a gen
tleman in every respect worthy of
their utmost confidence. lie will
call on our business men occasionally
with a view of advancing the interests
of the paper and gathering up such
information of a local character that
will be of interest to the public
generally. All accounts due the Re
publican will lie placed in his hands
for collection, and we earnestly hope
that lie will meet with a warm and
cordial reception from all upon whom
he may call.
The above notice explains itself. In
entering upon the discharge of our
duties in this entirely new line of
business, we are conscious of our poor
ability, and ask of a generous public
that degree of allowance which is
due to the novice in ail professions.
We fear our shortcomings will be
many, as we know there must ho
some, hut we promise our best efforts
and hope that they may not be void
of profit to tho Republican and in
terest to the public. Wo ask our
friends, both in the city and surround
ing country to aid us by giving us ev
erything which may partake of the
nature of news, or can possibly be of
interest to any one, so that we may
be able to give as much variety as
possible, and cater to the tastes of
the greatest number.
To those who arc indebted to tho
otiice, either for subscription or oth
erwise, we would sag: We hope to
find you prepared to give us mate
rial assistance when wo call around
which will ho in tho early fu
ture, and in return the Republican
will continue to “do you good.”
Hoping our intercourse may he alto
gether pleasant,
Respectfully, etc.,
B. V. Forrester.
A Perfect Remedy in 20 Diseases.
Ashi-teld, Mass.
I am verging on eighty years, and
deem it my duty to suffering human
ity to say that my long life is due to
BBANDEETH’S PILLS, which
have been my sole medicine for half
a century. I know the last forty
three years of my life is owing solely
to their use. Your PI LLS saved me
many times -after the host medical
skill in several States had given mo
up as hopeless, r have had many
converts to purgation with BRAN
DBETH’S PILLS, and have seen
them perform almost miracles of
cure. For children, a few doses have
cured measles, scarlet fever, and
whooping cough. In all female trou
bles and weakness I have never
known them to fail. In adult males
I have known them to cure the worst
cases of dyspepsia, dysentery and di
arrhoea; even dropsy, paralysis, and
apoplexy have yeilded to the persis
tent course of BItANDRETH’S
PILLS. In fact T have found them
the true Life Elixir. They act as
continual preventives against the ef
fects of time, disease and labor.
