A Valuable Horse Dead.
Mr. Jas. McGarrah, of Friendship,
lost $200. in a valuable mare in the
city Monday. His wife and sister
came into town, driving the ma
a buggy, she was attacked with colic
and died in about ten hours. Mr.
McGarrah raises some very flno
horses and the loss of this one will
be severe.
Good Work.
This issue of the Republican

published, by only two hands, Mr.
W. A. Rranscomb and Oscar Hare,

Basket Picnic.
There will be a basket picnic at
Watt’s Mill, formerly tho Stevens
Mill, on Sweetwater creek next F
day tho 29th Inst., every body is
vited to attend and bring a basket
well filled along with them. The
committeo will arrange tho grounds
and oroct a platform for thoso that
dance.
The Anniversary.
Saturday last will be a time of
blessed memory to tho community
around Concord church and to the
Sunday School workers of our county
Association. The day was bad and
part of the time it rained, but did
not prevent the gathering of the peo
ple. Tho house was filled eo that
scores must needs hang around the
doors and windows. Neither was it
a day vainly spent. The neighborly
exchange and the fraternal greetings
of such occasions always repay for
the trouble they coet, but the richest
return is found in tho holy inspira
tion gathered in tho better resolu
tions we form and in tho noble im
pulses to do some good In onr day
and time. The work and scope of
the Association in the short twelve
month of its existence, was indeed
revelation to all. Like everything
some have not rightly inter
preted its method and aim; but the
unfolding of its plan and the great ac
tual good it is doing, conquered the
love of ail that vast audience,
there not some good that I can do in
>wn home or toward my fellow-
.” was the uppermost thought in
the heart of each.
The next meeting is at Bottsford,
the fourth Friday, instead of Satur
day, in August.
Song Service
Our Fast Americas friends aided
by others from the city, will hold
musical service at their church o
Sunday evening next, at 4 o’clock.
The hour Is put late, that all may es
cape the heat of the son. It is desir
ed at the close of the singing to effect
a temporary, if not a permanent re
organization of the Sunday School.
The occasion is an auspicious
and should be embraced by
the city to form pleasant acquain
tances and cement the friendship of
those who, though our close neigh
bors for years, are in fact, strangers.
Tho Sunday School Association will
provide books for all. The Sunday
Schools,all Christian workers and the
general public are invited. Let every
body go.
A Bloodies* Dual
On Monday afternoon a quarrel
sued between the coroner of Sumter
county and the Solicitor of the
ty court. The Solicitor, who thought
himself aggrieved, and who is
brave as mortal can be, got a pistol
and asked the coroner to arm him
self and fight it out; but that worthy
thought “You only want me to draw
a pistol, so that you can prosecute
me for carrying a concealed weapon, 1
and he wisely refrained. The Solici
tor probably had this idea: “You
ly want me killed, so that yon
get to hold an inquest over
body.” We are told they received
slight injuries in the neck, and they
were shot out of some bottles at Jake
Israels, by friends of both parties,
bnt this we think a mistake,
Solicitor seldom indulges.
Lost in London
Jake Siesei, who travels for Wolff
Bros., & Co., of Macon, when last

drumming vigorously for his house.
For two days he plied tho merchants
of that city, proposing to sell them
goods in Macon, cheaper than they
could get it anywhere under tho sun.
Hurrah for Macon!
Arrested for ‘Murder.
We learn that Joel Mason was ar
rested, on the plantation of Jas.
Owens, in Macon county, Monday
night, for killing his wife. There
were already three warrants out, and
a small reward, for his arrest, before
he killed his wife. He had been
heard to threaten the life of his wife
and it seems succeeded In carring out
his hellish designs. He will proba

Went Fishing.
Two gay Lotharios of the Avenue,
wanting relaxation, selected fishing
as the most desirable way of recrea
tion after tho wear and confinement
of a winter’s work. They did not
like to take so much pleasure with
out sharing It with favorites, so they
each engaged a sweet young lady
a companion and made for tho near
est point of Muckalee, which was the
Deli. When they reached the fish
ing grounds, the girls called, the
on Walter for tho rod and line. He
turned to Harper and asked where
tackle and bait were; Harper
so engrossed with his girl that
wouldn’t answer. It is to be
hoped tho girls got hnpoons so firmly
planted, as to require the skill of a
D. D. to treat their cases.

CUKE FOR PILES.
Piles are frequently preceded by
sense of weight in the back, loins an .

of indigestion are present, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A

Larceny.
On Tuesday morning, Columbus
Harrell, prosecuted Malinda Oxford,
both colored, for larceny from the
house. Columbus accused Malinda
of stealing a few grains of coffee and
half box matches, and tried to prove
that his house was broken Into. Jus
tice Stubbs presided, J. W. Brady,
defended and W. B. Guerry prosecu
tor in tho case. The defendant
acquitted, and the prosecutor left the
Court room, with much chagrin that
another defeat was served against
him.
True Even Unto Death.
That was a touching story told by
Mr. Gladestone when announcing the
death of the Princess Alice In Parlia
ment. She had been cautioned by
tho physician not to inhale the breath
of her little boy who was ill with
diphtheria. The little fellow

fever. The Princess stood by the
side of her child and laid her hand
hia brow and began to caress him.
The touch cooled hia fevered brain
and brought the soul back from its
wild delirium to nestle for a moment
in the lap of a mother’s love. Then
throwing his arms atound her neck
he whispered, “Mamma, kiss me. 1
The instinct of a mother’s love wa
stronger than science and she pressed
her lips to those of her child. And

d Republican. the
Death of Frederick Lehman.
Albany, Ga., May 24,1885.
Editor Republican:—^This morn
ing onr city was astounded to hear of
the death of Frederick Lehman, by
his own act, having taken fifteen
grains of morphine. For several days
he had been making preparation by
getting his tools and effects together
and openly declaring his intention
to destroy himself. Wo have been
working fn tho same shop for some
months. Yesterday he settled with
his omployer (Mr. Acuff,) and on re
ceiving tho amount due him he ex
pressed his thanks and informed him
of his solemn intention. He then
to the writer and shook hands
expressing his affection and repeated
his determination to end his life. As
men who are determined on self des
truction never speak of it, we thought
but little of his threat. Mr. Lehman
for many years has been an excessive
drinkef, and lately has been contin
ually under tho influence of liquor
which ended in the terrible deed.
O! what a fearful warning! You who
read this, pause and reflect!
Lehman was a firm believer in the
doctrine of Bob Ingereol. We will
speak kindly of the dead. Fred was
known as a big hearted man, and a
man possessing more than ordinary
intelligence, a good blacksmith and
all through life a very useful man.
He was bom in Zoflngen, Canton
Argo vie, Switzerland, Oct., 16, 1822.
He leaves a wetland grown-up fami
ly with a nice property. Infilicitti-
tmu, may express the closing act of a
long and useful life, like a troubled
wave breaking on a silent shore. He
came to this county when quite
young.

There lives in north Atlanta a
charming young lady of eighteen sum
mers, whose name for obviona reaeons
is not given. She occupies a room
with her little girl eonsia, who ia only
eleven years old. The other night np-
on retiring, she hung her dress aa us
ual upon a hasp, near a window and
left the lamp aa ia her custom, burning
brightly on a center table. On this
table also was a beantifnl bouquet
which the had received from an admir-
The bowl and pitcher were in their
astomed place on the waahatand.
After securely fastening the window
on the inside and locking the door, the
young lady aaid her prayers and retir-
ei, and was soon sleeping soundly. The
little child slept in a tingle bed only a
few feet from the large bed in which the
young lady reposed. Neither awoke
daring the night, and neither hat
been known to walk in aleep. Y
they awoke in the mori
the young lady was astonished to
find her dress neatly folded and lying
on her trunk, the lamp, which she had
left turned np, burning low oa the edge
of the wasbstand, the pitcher ehtiag
■in the middle of she floor, and the flow-
era, which had been on the eenter-ta-
ble, lying under the bed. She west tt
the door. It was still locked on the
ineide and the key in it as she had left
on retiring.She examined the windows,
they were still securely fastened oa the
inside as on the night before. It was
clear that no one had entered the room
daring the night. Neither of the sleep
ers had gotten up daring the night.
The things had nnqne«|ionably been
moved about. Who did it? The
young lady is perfectly trnthfnl and
not anperetitions, bnt these strange
happenings have so worked upon her
mind that she has given up the room
and vows that she will never sleep in
it again.
