A Humorous Candidate.
Mr. Ilenry L. McGehee is a cnndi
date for tho Legislature from Marion
county, and the manner in which lie
tells it is humorous to say the least
of it. There is probably more bon*
esly in it, however, than in the way
candidates are usually brought out
It is seldom that we find a candidate
who is not over-persuaded by the
“dear people" to make the “sacrifice”
and one who will confess that his in
clinations lead him to the race. We
copy this from the announcement of
Mr. McGehee in the Buena Vista
Argus'
“Fellow-citizens, I want the office.
I have waited patiently for fifteen
years for the office to hunt the man
and I itave despaired, lam now go
ing for the office, and lam free to
acknowledge that my friends are not
at all urging me to this step. I
think I have many friends in the
country and I am sure that a num
ber of them will vote for me, but if
ever one has asked mo to be a can
didate it has escaped my memory.
In conversation with friends I have
gtiggested name after name, hoping
that someone would suggest mine,
but “nary time ” I have, therefore,
come to the conclusion that if a man
wants political preferment, the best
plan is to come boldly to the front
and ask for it. What impropriety
can there be in a man’s asking for
office, especially when we all know
that nineteen twentieths of the office
holders, who pretend to have been
brought forward by their friends,
bring about their own nomination
and election. Do not sotno of our
best men ask for office at the Lands
of the people?
My fellow citizens, I am in earnest
about this matter. I want to go to
the Legislature, and have wanted to
go for a long time. It is an honor
able position, and who is there that,
does not desire to fill such a position.
I ask it of you liec-ause T t-hinl I mt.
it it, and if you will hear me speak I
think I can convince you that I do,”
I cannot give you my views in this
card iu full. lam in favor of •‘re
form and retrenchments." I shall
vote for tho adoption of the new
Constitution and to remove tiie Capi
tal back to llilledgcville,
Meet me Saturday at the court
house and I will tell you all I know,
lean talk better than I can write. I
am the (ample's candidate and not
the candidate of a few friends.
A Man Kiixkd. —The Buena Vis
ta Argus reports a bloody affray bo r
tween a negro man and Mr. Majors, in
Webster county, in which the negro
was killed. Mr. Majors sold the no
gro a pair of pants, with the under
standing that he would not wear
them until lie paid for them. On
Wednesday the 17th iust. the day
the netrro was killed, Mr. Speck
Majors with one or two brothers, a
negro boy and the deceased, were at
the gin of Mr. David Majors, where
Speck and Aaron got in a dispute
relative to the pants. It seems that
the negro wore the pants on the
Sunday before, contrary to the con
tract, and when Speck demanded
pay, words passed between them,
and the negro called Mr. Majors “a
d —d liar.” Blows was resorted to,
and the negro picked up a mattock,
and rushed towards Majors, when
he (the negro) was either tripped, by
one of the boys, or stumbled and fell,
and in falling struck Majors on the
shoulder or arm with the handle of
the mattock. The opposite end be
ing so much heavier, it fell from the
negro’s hand, and Majors picked it
up, and as the negro rose and rushed
towards him he struck the negro
centerly in the forehead, with the
end of the mattock, scattaring his
brains on the ground in every direc
tion.
We have been unable to learn
whether or not Mr. Majors has been
arrested.

HAMILTON, HARRIS C 0„ GA„ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 187?
A Tramp’s Terrible Rido.
A tramp who arrived here a few
days ago from tho West gives his
experience in dead-heading It over
Union Pncifie from Cheyenne to
Green river, on the Jsrrett A Pal
mer train, by climbling upon tho
roof oi a coaclt. Ho says that from
Cheyenne to Sherman he rather en
joyed the ride, but that between
Sherman and Green river hisexper.
tence was one never to be forgotten.
The rapid movement of the train and
the rocking of the coaclt forced him
to wind his arms and legs around a
stove pipe and hang on for dear life.
His fiat flew off early in the ordeal,
and after the train left this city ho
was discovered by the engineer, who
began throwing a heavy shower of
cindets, but so rapid was the move
ment of the train that the heaviest
one merely cut through his clothes,
like bullets, while the lighter sparks
passed above him. Ilis coat-'ails
flapped so hard that he realized that
he must part with them, hut he dar
ed not loosen a hand to tuck them
under him, and they were soon torn
off to blow away. Although he
managed to keep his face behind the
pipe nearly all the time, he was fre
quently struck in the face by living
cinders, so that u hen lie reached
Green river his face and hcck Were
badly cut :.d scratched. So great
was tbe poor tramp’s fear of being
thrown off and killed, that this, added
to the terrible strain of hanging to
the pipe by main strength for so
long a distance, nltd the intense suf
fering from tbe wounds inflicted by
the cinders, caused his lmir to turn
gray, and when he climbed down at
Green river he looked like a man
"bo find seen fifty instead of twenty
two summers.
A H erd to the Unemployed.
Our attenfmn has been called to a
now uU nitil, ieouui'tj tn vent*
ed, which makes baking a pleasure
instead of a dreaded necessity, the
inventor of which has confered an
everlasting blessing upon every
house-keeper. We refer to the Puti
ent Centennial Cake and Break Pan
with which by simply raising a hook,
you can remove the sides of the pah
from the cake instantly, without
breaking or injuring it in the least
thus enabling you to ice and frost it
while warm. To remove the tube
in the center, insert a knife in the
slot in the top of the tube, and only
giving it a half turn, and it will drop
out. It is also provided with slide
on the bottom, so that when you re
move the tube, you can close the
hole, making a pan with plain bot
tom, £or baking jelly and plain cakes,
pudding, bread, etc., thus practically
giving you two pans for the price of
one.
The Centennial Cake Pan is highly
recommended by the ladies as being
the best ami most convenient pan
ever introduced. Tli-y are made of
Russia iron, are more durable, and
will hake your cakes more evenly
and a much nicer brown than you
can bake them in the old-fashioned
tin cake pans. These goods are sold
exclusively through agents to fami
lies, and every house-keeper should
by all means have them. A splendid
opportunity is offered to some relia
ble lady or gentleman canvasser of
this county to secure the agency for
a pleasant and profitable business.
For terms, territory, etc., write to
L. E. Brown & Cos., Nos, 214 and
216 Elm Street, Cincinnati!, Ohio.

Normal Association.
The last issue of tho Munroe Dem
ocrat, a paper published at Sweet
water Tenn., gives an account of a
county normal association at, that
place. They hold meetings quarter
ly and rotate from ono section of the
county to tho other. Tite object, of
tbe Association is for the dimension
of all questions appertaining to the
cause of “teaching tho Voting idea
howto shoot" and everything con
neeted in the lines of school teaching
Each Professor, before lie attends
the the association, is aware of what
subject lie will be called upon to dis
cuss, and is prepared for the oc
casion. For instance, one will dis„
cuss “How to teach children;” an
other, “Duties of public School direc
tors;” and another “Uniformity of
text books." etc., There aro various
other questions which could be dis
cussed by tbe profesors with much
interest to themselves, and advan
tage to those whom they educate.
We do not speak of this so much
as a matter of news, but to suggest
the idea to all tho school teachers in
Harris county that such an associa
tion could bo made profitable to
themselves. Should they fed inter
ested in it, for furlheiing the
cause, we will open our columns to
any communication on the subject,
and will insert an advertisement tree
of charge. Let us hear from our
teachers on tho subject.
Tilts State Fair. —The Monroe
Advertiser says it must have been
very gratifying to Col Thomas Hard
ematt) president of tho State agricul
tural society, to have the first state
fair under his administration such a
complete success. It was conceded
by all the witnesses that it was moro
largely attended than any previous
exhibition by the society; thus putting
the success of the final feature be
yond peradventure. The display of
fiin Iwvccoo nMln (tno lart/wo.
goats, sheep, etc. was magnificent.
The greater poHiofi of this stock was
Georgia raised, and is a splendid tes
timonial of tbe great good brought
about by the society and the annual
faps. The specimens of farm crops
were very fine, but wore not as abun
dant in quantity as could have been
desired; but what was lacking in
quantity was made up in quality.—
The display in the fine art depart
ment and by the merchants was mea
gre, This dis-day is more ornamen
tal than Useful, and tho want of
really detracted nothing from the
value of the exhibition as an agricul
tural ia : r.
Unoiutkful —Some men are nev
er satisfied, no matter how much is
done for them, A man in Mortli
ampton, Massachusetts, went to a
druggist and had a prescription put
up that contained a little opium.—
The apothecary being a generous
sort of a person gave him ten times
the amount of morphine required.—
Just as tho man began to feel pretty
sleepy and like, the druggist remem
bered the poctuar properties of tho
drug, aufT havilig hastily collected
four doctors lie interviewed the som
nolent individual, and, after bailing
him out and kicking and shaking him
for ten hours. Tho man concluded
reluctantly to .ako an interest in
worldly matters mco more. But how
ungrateful is maikmd, especially in
Massachusetts ! After all tho troub
le that druggist took with this dosed
party, such, is Ills ungratefulness that
he nas sued the d-uggist for the triv
al mistake he made, The drug deal
er thinks the worrt mistake he made
was getting the man around again.

an alleged horse thief was brought
up for trial at Waco, Texas. The
evidence against him was very strong
wtien his wife a mere child, with tear

Mr. Ed JVlumford has been con

nothing like being thrown by a mule

more aggravating than to go “item

tho “piney woods’’ with saddle,
minus tho mule? Such was the case
with this denoudent not long since.
