Green King, a v»ry worthy citizen, liv
ing in the 10th District of Dooly -county,
was abot and killed by a jonng man of
the same neighborhood, named Jackson
Gilbert, on Saturday last. It seems that
an old fend existed between the father-
in-law of King and Gilbert, and that the
former became some way involved in the
matter, which brought about an ill feel
irg between the parties. On the day
above mentioned Jackson Gilbert went
to the residence of Green King, armed
with a shot gun and met him (King) com
ing out of his yard, gnn in hand, for the
purpose of going bird-hunting. Gilbert
immediately raised his gnn and fired,
twelve buck shot taking effect in the ab
domen of King, who after recovering a
little from the shock, raised his gnn and
fired both barrels, covering Gilbert’s
body with small shot. Kiog, after walk
ing back to, and through, his bouse, re
turned to his room, fell upon his bed and
expired in u few boors.
A warrant for the arrest of Gilbert was
issued, and he was soon under arrest
While under guard he attempted to es
cape, bat failed on account of a shot in
the leg from the gun of one of the guard.
The prisoner was taken to Vienna and
lodged in jail on Monday.
Col. W. A. Hawkins of this city has

Col. Sam. Hall of Macon, Gen. Warren

Remember This.—The ladies of
Americas should remember that the 26th
day of April is rapidly approaching, and
arrangements should be made at once
for the proper observance of the day.
A speaker should be selected and he
should have time to pieparo himself for
the occasion. Arrangements havo already
been made in other parts of the State for
its observance,and able men have been re
lected a* orators. The day hereafter will
be observed as a holiday tbronghout the
State, by au act of the Legislature, and
it is to be hoped that oar citizens will
properly observe it. We snggest that the
ladies of the Memorial Society of Ameri
cas take the matter-in hand, call a meet
ing forthwith and make the necessary
arrangements for the proper observance
of the day.

Flag Presentation.—We suggest to
(hose having the matter in charge, the
26th day of April os a suitable time for
the presentation of the beautiful flag to
be given to the Sumter Light Guards.
Heavy Rains.—There seems to be no
abatement of -the waters in this section.
Thursday, about midnight, it com
menced raining, and continued doting
the entire day of Friday, and np to this
writing, 8 p. m., it is atill pouring down.
Fine Cigars.—At the Drug Store of
t)r. W. J. Reese, next door to Sheffield
k Co.’s Hardware store, can be found
several brands of very superior cigars.
Call and try a few of them.
A Smash Up.—A chimney of the build
ing on the north-east corner of the
square, known as tho negro Brown Ho
tel, and one of tlie oldest buildings ii
the city, fell down during a slight breeze
on Saturday last. It fell on the back
part of the store house occupied by Mr.
Fred Glover, smashing it literally to
pieces. Mr. Glover Darrowly escaped
with his^ife, pieces of the fallen timbers
having passed in close proximity to bis
head. He had just left the back part of
the building and was returning to the front
part when tho accident happened. Mr.
Glover’s loss in goods is about one lion
dred dollars. Both of the buildings
were the property of Mrs Roxy Ann
McCrea, a widow lady.

that we are no weather prophet.
The Weather.—Sunday and Monday
was quite a decided improvement on the
preceding days, in' point of sunshine
and pleasant weather. The citizen*
seemed to appreciate the golden sunlight,
which caused large congregations at the

Plenty of grapes but no win* to drink;

No corn for your horses but plsnty of land;
Plenty of horses but none fit to ride;
Plenty of poverty plenty of pride;
Plenty of cattle, but no butter or milk,
No dress for tbs dairy but plenty of silk;
Plenty of hides but no leather that’s tanned.
The scrubby mosquits encumber the land.
The finest of soil but rarely a peach;
Plenty of things though seldom in reach;
Plenty of rain, when it comes down at all,
Enough and to spare, should it come at your

Plenty of drouih, though hardly a tank;
Plenty of thorns, rugged and rank;
Plenty of borders, though hardly a hedge;
Plenty of hogs, though thin as a wedge;
Plenty of bacon, year bofore last;
Plenty of game when there’s plenty of mast;
Plenty of stone the cistern to wall,
’t find time to do it at all;
Plenty of time, but great lack of leisure;
Plenty of young folks too laxy for pleasure;
Plenty of mud—no drawback in that—
And talking of stock, plenty of that;
Plenty of stories, half of them lies,
With braggart and idlers they do not sur
Oh, land of great promise*, never fulfilled;
What a country you might be if people so
willed!
All teaming with beauty, pleasure and
wealth, ju
Every requisite here for comfort and health;
But of corn bread and bacon men bar*
enough,
And women get happy o’er a bottle of snuff.
This “gushing melody” was published

his parents, who reside near this city.

Effects of Civil' Right.*.—A few
evenings ago we overheard a couple of
darkies, living in the suburbs of the city,
lecturing one of their ebony colored, nat
ty-headed offshoots. Tho little “nig”
was ont in front of the shanty, in which
he resided with his affectionate parent*,
enjoying himself in a game of marbles
with two little whito boys. The father
of tho little 15th amendment made bis
appearance in tho door way and in
affectionate tone observed: “Come

broke ebory bone in yonr carcass Don’t
yon know I’so do bed of dis collection of

S&" Tho last Dawson Journal contain*
an account of the exercises of the Mis
sionary Society of the Methodist Sunday
School, which took place last Sunday
afternoon in Dawson. After referring
to the opening exercises, the Journal
says:
‘The president of the society then in
troduced to tbe audience that veteran
piooeer in the Methodist itinerancy, the
Rev. Samuel Anthony, of Americus.—
•Uncle Sam’ announced us bis theme a
line fn m the lant verse of the hymn that
bad just been sung: ‘The worfd is full
ol sighs.’ His' remarks were pointed,
pungent, and practical. He made a
beautiful application of his subject to
the cause of mission*, of the thousands
of benighted heathens, who were sigh
ing to behold the marvelous light and
liberty of the ‘Son of Peace.’
After another selected song by the
school, the orator < f the occasion, Mr.
J. R. McClcskey, of Americas, was pre
sented to the audience. This gentl man
stated that he had no regular address or
set speech to deliver; but that he would
rely solely upon the inspiration of the
hour to promp- and direct his words. —
He felt that the dnlcet strains of music
that had floated out on the evening air
while the school was singing, were
enough to inspire him; and (not to be
stow any fulsome complaints) that the
rare collection of beautiful ladies before
him. was sufficient to animate and in
spire. His speech was replete with
many sound truths and mwrim*. snd em
bellished with the ornaments of Bheto
rie and the flowers of Poetry. The
'burden of his song’ was the groat and
incalculable good (hat was accomplished
through the Sabbath school agency,
and the cause of* missions as ineillary
and corailary to that. Mr. MeGleskey
is a fine speaker, bos a commanding and
prepossessing mien, and a good delivery.
The Dawsonites, (and especially the
Methodist Sunday School) return him
many thanks for bis happy effort on last
Sabbath.

I have received your circulars, and in conse-
3 nonce of the distribution, I have sold about aix
ozen of the Globe Flower 8yrup in the last two
weeks. Tbe Globe Flower Byrup ia gaining
great celebrity. I recommended it in two cases
of consumption. One caae was bed-fast; bad
not laid on but one side for two years; hemor
rhages almost every day; much emaciated, and
expected to die. He has taken aix bottles ot
Globe Flower Byrup; hia troubles are all g ne,
tbe greatest medical disemeries of tbe nil

The Paiu-Killei*
derives much of its popularity from tbe si
plicity attending its use which gives it s |-ecn-'
bar value in a family. The various diseases
which may bo reached by it, and in their incipi
ent atagea eradicated, are among those which
are peculiarly Iktal if Buffered to run; bnt the
curative magie of this prepaiation at oncudie-
.mis tbcin of their terrors. In all respects it
falfiils the conditions of a popular medicine.

Dr. J. S. Pemberton, Atlanta, Ga: Deab 8m—
I bought from Red wine A Fox two bottles ol
your Globe Flower Cough Byrup, which has
cured me of a severe cough, aud bleeding from
the lungs—^which I had been afflicted with for
over twelve months. Ono of my friends, who
had been afflicted with a terrible weakening
cough and bleeding from the lungs for nearly
two years, was cured by the use of four bottles
of your Globe Flower 8yrup. I have taken all
lands of Cough and Lung Balaams or the day,
and consider yonr Globe Flower 8yrup the
beat—superior to all p operations. I have
recommended it to a great many * offerers, and
the same good effects have been experienced
bv all who have used it. The Globe Flowei
syrup is a great blessing to the world, God
speed you in the introduction of it.
