Affair.—We are pained to learn thnt on last Wednesday or Thurs day Mr. Manly £. Sparks, a clever and respected citizen, residing in tho Eastern part of thoconnty, was shot and painful ly wounded by a negro fellow, whose name we did not get. Tho facta, ns we get them, are ab:,ut these : It seems on the evening previous to the shooting Mr. Sparks had some sharp words with the negro nlxint watering his stock, but this passed off. The next morning Mr. Sparks observed that the t>oy had not gone to liis labor, and, at a late hour in the morning, went to the ne gro's house to ascertain the cause. Words produced words until the negro drew a pistol and fired at Sparks, the ball taking effect in the bone of his hips and ranging downward. Mr. Sparks fell and as he lay upon the ground the negro fired again at him, the bail striking in the gronnd by bis side. By this time a ne gro woman on the place had got to Mr. Sparks. She assisted him up and , aided him to his house. Before they had reach ed the door the negro fired upon them again, with a double-barreled gun, load ed with small shot. But ono of the shot took effect on Mr. Sparks, while six or eight struck the woman, however, with bnt little injuiy. They hurried on and as they entered the door of Mr. Sparks’ house, the negro again fired with the gun, and the ball with which it was load ed, entered the door by the side of them. The negro seemed bent on taking the life of Mr. S. and no doubt would have needed had it not been for tho woman. The negro made his escape and has not yet been captured.

When thev are Tho various clergymen of Macon have decidetl to have a temperance re vival in that city. They have agreed up on delivering a scries of tempenufee lec tures, the first of which is to be delivered by Rev. Dr. Wills, on Tuesday evening next. Cannot the clergymen of Americas do something similar to this.* There is an alarming amount of drunkenness ( in this city, and we think tho clergymen owe it as a duty to their sacrod calling not only to take a firm, decided and pnblic stand against intoxication, bnt also against everything that can lead to intoxication. WJiat do our clergymen say in the mat- Wc should like to hear from them. The Goon Templars may now be re garded as fixed facts in Southwestern Georgia, and have even this early pro duced fruits worthy an older organiza tion. Lodges are now established in t places and order following: Magnolia Temple No. 10, Americas. Price Lodge No. 14, Americas. Beulah Lodge No.19, Weston, Webster. Walton Lodge No. 23, Macon. Samaritan Lodge No.24, Hawkinsville. Brunswick Lodge No. 25, Brunswick. Moran Lodgo No. 20, Pleasant Grove. Albany Lodge No. 27, Albany. Banner Lodge No. 28, Dawson. Reese Lodge No. 30, Marshalvilie. Cuthbert, (no return.) The aggregate membership of tho above Lodges is about 500. It will thus be seen that the Order has taken firm hold in our part of the country, and that the prospects for a glorious temperance cam paign are bright indeed. Activity in the noble work and perseverance unto the end are all that is necessary to ensure success. Let us work without ceasing, then, and show that the obligation we have taken is but the invincible deter mination of our hearts. W K T&‘ w Wfpper CWW the rage throughout the State, it is oar candid opinion that Americua is justly entitled to one. Every youth who has been the recipient of a “kick” from the opposite sex, is eligible to membership, and the greater the number of “kicks” the higher the estimation in which the recipient is to be held by his fellows, and he is entitled to the presidency thereof. Each member must place at the disposal of the club all love letters, rings, memen toes, locks of hair, etc., which may have been exchanged between him and his fe male admirers, and must also give a des cription of the interesting scenes, parting and all other little episodes of interest. Excellent material can be found here, and we hope these interested will meet and organize. Application for a charter must be made to the Grand Slipper Club of Co lumbus. The members take an oath of secresy on a fair maiden’s slipper, kept for that purpose. The following are among the rules and regulations. 1. No one can become a member unless he can produce satisfactory evidence that, after making all honorable efforts, he has lioen rejected by at least one un appreciative young lady. 2. That no member shall be eligible to office unless he lias been rejected by sev en feminines. 3 and 4 provides for the reception of little tokens of affection, letters, etc. 5. In case several members should present photographs and letters of the same lady, all hereby obligate themselves to entertain no unkind feelings toward each other because some epistles are more gushing, or some photographs pre sent a sweeter smile, the members look ing with great condescension upon the natural frailties ol women. 8. In future, at all entertainments, members are required to maintain a dig nified silence regarding Love towards all ladies who have been reported to the organization. 12. Any member suspected of sleeping with a piece of wedding cake under his head in hopes of dreaming of his future spouse, shall be ignominiously expelled.

Yon must not let your angry passions rise bro. Smith, but keep as cool as the circumstances of the case, and the annoyance of those sandflies you have to contend against, will allow yon. Sally Laban, colored, reports that Martin Cox, colored, formerly belonging to Dr. Hardwick, of this city, three months ago left with her to be nursed and cared for a very bright mulatto male child, with a promise to provide for its maintenance. This will be remembered as the miscegenation case, of which we took notice at the time. The police, in stead of promptly arresting the negro and his guilty white paramour, let the matter alone, and now the festive Cox, feeling secure in parts unknown, fails to fulfil his promise. Sallie, feeling that she has “got her foot in it,” applies to the Ordinary for help. We wonld sug gest that the unnatural and heartless mother be hunted up, and compelled to take care of her offspring. BSL It is absurd for a man who has goods to sell to settle himself and stock in a house and then wait for customers to drop in at their leisure to buy, without advertising. Such people are not ener getic enough to keep a new stock on hand, and are always complaining of dull times. Montgomery & Shaw will verify this as 1 sertion, for they are continually receiv ing new articles of merchandise, and their friends are immediately mode aware of it by their advertisements they seldom keep articles longer than ten days. Now, ladies, ye who have charge of the catiug department at home, when ever you want something nice for your table send word to our energetic young friend, John Shaw, and if he has it not, give him a little time and he will certain ly gfct it. Try him once, and you will be much pleased, that yon will ever after buy your Groceries of Montgomery & Shaw.

[“Gazette,** Inde pendence, Mo. ■ Qcrr It.—On leaving the Methodist Church last Sabbath morning after divine service, onr attention was called by a lady to a mass of filth on the steps deposit ed there by some young men who it seems assembles at the church every Sabbath morning and evening smoking their cigars aud chewing tobacco. They take their position on the steps and puff their cigars in the very face of the ladies as they enter the church, and spit their nasty filth on the ste^p in great pools, so much so, that it is impossible for the ladies to pass up aud down the steps without getting their dresses soiled. In behalf of the ladies we call upon the of ficial members of that church to take such steps in the matter as will prevent such conduct in the future. Let some officer take his position on the steps and remain there until the services in the chnrch commences, and if lie sees any smoking or spitting on the steps, make him leave. Such conduct should not be tolerated. If men are obliged to smoke and chew tobacco before entering the House of God, let them do-it elsewhere, but in tho name of all that is sacred don’t in either, in the vestibule or on the steps of the chnrch. % The Last Cotton Crop.
