Every man who owes a cent will find his account with Messrs. Blance & King, and their instructions are to collect without delay. Gen tlemen, I will remain in town a short time, and the money most come. J. T. Gibson. August 24, 1877. A. G. West is foieman of the Grand Jury this wcok. The cry has been changed from “dust” to “mud.” Maj. Bunn’s father, who lives jn Twiggs county, is visiting him. Narrow gauge dresses upon broad gauge women do not look well.

BROKE JAIL! t I Christopher Columbus Turbeville on the Wing Again. Christopher Columbus TurbeviHo, who killed Cicero Surratt in this county nearly two years ago, and who was under sentence for 10 years in the chain gang, broke jail at this place last Tuesday night, and to use the language of a certain poetical attorney, is now “as free as the zephyrs which play around his mountain home.” The prisoner’s case had been car ried to the Supreme Court, aud the judgment of the Court below affirm ed, and he was to have been resen- tonced Wednesday morning. Thus it will be seen that his escape was in the very niche of time. The bird bus ilown, and the stern mandate of the law is in consequence indefinite ly postponed. 1IOW HE ESCAPED. Turbeville and Henry May occu pied the same room and slept on the same bed. From this room they had access to the hall. In one of the east rooms there was a hole iu the wall, through which a prisoner had made his escape on a former occasion. 13y some means, unknown to the jailer, Turbeville unlocked the door leading from the hall into that room, made a rope of blankets lorn up and plait ed together, crawled through the hole in the wall and by means of the rope descended to the ground. May says he does not know when Turbeville left, and on awaking Wednesday morning and finding him gone, ho at once informed the jailer. This is the whole story, and while wo do not in toto excuse Mr. Clem ents, we do not think that blame aU tache8 to him to the extent some are inclined to make it appear. This lesson will serve to mako him moro watchful in the future, and keep a strict watch over that clues of crimi nals. Up to this writing nothing has been heard of Turbeville, and vie opine he is wending his way toward^ the Block HiHerorthe borders of Mexico. Van Davis was sent out with a warrant to arrest Wiley Hogg, col ored, the other day. Finding Wiley, Van made known his business, aud iu company with his prisoner started back to town. When they had pro ceeded a little way, Wiley concluded he would go no farther, and without hesitation acquainted Van with his determination. Van insisted in a positivo sort of way, and taking hold of Wiley, endeavored to force him forward; whereupon Wiley tapped Van over aud retired in good order. Van returned to town a sadder and much more astonished man than wheu he left. He insists that Wiley treated him real Ilogg-ish. We think so too. vs^v^ V >!V, \ VV \ ^ ' 0 \Y\ 'J'S V’ O' O' The average colored citizen feels blue at the thought that the “watermillion season is drawing to a close. Quite a number of our county folks will attend tho Singing Con vention near Ladign, Ala., next Sat urday. Kellett came to the front with a supply of fresh beef this week, to the delight of the boarding house keepers. A protracted meeting will be commenced at the Potash Works, about four miles from town, to-night (Friday). We had a delightful fall of rain on Wednesday, which the farm ers say will prove of vast benefit to late corn. We received a call from Mr. Tom Ouyler, of Rome, yesterday.— He reported things “right side up” in the Mountain City. PISTOL PRACTICE. An Officer of the Law Defied by a Bold and Daring Criminal. •Sheriff Clements having heard re cently that Bill King, colored, an absconding criminal, was using in the vicinity of Mr. G. W. Lindsay’s, over in tho coaling, and being very desirous of arresting him, he placed the warrant in Mr. Lindsay’s hands, with instructions to keep a lookout, and if opportunity offered to arrest his black majesty. One night last week Mr. Lindsay walked in on William and demanded of him that he surrender. Instead of complying with the officer’s com mand, Bill arose from tho bed on which ho was lying with a pistol in his hand, and made some demonstra tions towards shooting. Mr. Lind say had a pistol, also, and when Bill cahie at him in that manner lie at once pulled down on him, the ball taking effect in Bill’s right hand.— Bill concluded that the officer meant business, and that ho had better take to his heels. Accordingly he lit out, but before lie was out of lango 6f the pistol Mr. Lindsay shot him again, the ball this time taking effect in tho fleshy part of one of his arms. But Bill did not stop. On the con trary lie continued to run, and for aught we know is running yet. Tho Sheriff, Mr. E. W. Clementp, desires us to say in this connection that he will pay a liberal reward for the apprehension and delivery of this troop, whose intention doubtless was to fight nobly, but whose ju-art failed him. He is a great rascal, aiid all good people, white and black, should do all in their power to assist the officers of the law in arresting and bringing him to justice. Cedartown can boast of the largest black-jack treo in the State. In Mr. Huntington’s grove on Mar ket street is one which measures ten feet and eight inches in oii;oum? ference two feet above the ground.— Its age is not known. The case of ‘‘The State vs. Perry Plane—Assuulc with intent to murder,” was taken up Wednesday morning last, and after a full and thorough investigation the jury re turned a verdict of guilty. Where upon his honor, Judge Underwood, sentenced Perry to the penitentiary for the term of seven years. . Messrs. Phms OTelmarT and Henry A. Pattillo, of CarterBville, passed through town oil Monday last. They were returning from a prolonged tour through Northern Alabuma. They were looking for land with a view to purchasing. Court convened on Monday, and without any unavoidable loss of time the charge was delivered to the Grand Jury. Tho business bus been disposed of as rapidly as possible, and the dockets havo been rid of nu merous cases. Two convicts had an altercas tion at the coaling yesterday, when one of them seized an axe and struck the other a fearful blow in the head with it. Tho wounded man is in a critical condition. Drs. Richardson and England were stmt for and ren dered tho proper assistance On the first page to-day will be found the Presentments of the Grand Jury for the first week of the present'term, together with the re ports of the county officers, which are very creditable to all ol them. Gen. Phillips has an order for all the criminals who are oeutenced at the present term of Uourt. Perry Plane will not bo far from home for awhile. Another colored convict made his * escape last Wednesday liight, bpt w»8 pursued by hounds and caughttiftor u chase of eight or ten miles.
