GENERAL NEWS.
A negro named Scott Brainier i
shot and killed another, named Ike
Hcesman, in Oglethorpe county
near Crawford, a few days ago.
•• CT
The difficulty grew out of a quar
rel between their wives.
1 wo negroes, Jack Hamiter and
Lewis Robison, near Eufaula, Ala.,
fought with knives on the 14th, at
night. They had been in the city
dur ng the day and had drank free
ly. Hamiter had been accused of
illicit intimacy with Robisons
wife, they qua’uellcd and Hamiter
twitted Robinson on his wife’s un
faithfulness, whereupon Robinson
stabbed him two or three times,
and he stabbed Robinson in the
neck severing the carotid artery.
Robinson walked off a ftw steps
and fell dea I. Hamiter was car
ried to jail and died next morning
of his wounds. A crowd of terri
fied women held torches while the
desperate tragedy was enacted.
A notorious negro thief, of many
names to wit, Sidney Jones, alias
Brown, alias Ya r boro, alias Arbo,
alias Wm. Sego, was captured in
Rome a few days ago,. tried and
convicted in five cases made against
him. His method of operation, as
iclated by the Courrier, may serve
to put the unwary an guard against
the wiles of such scamps. The
Conn i r says-
This muchly named villian has
been on the grand steal through this
section for the past two years. He
worked his game almost exclusive
ly. He would go to a man’s house
and tell the women folks that
some neighbors liad sent him hur
riedly for them, and when the ’wo
men would leave he would send
the Jiildr'en off after something
and during their absence -ob the
house. He successfully practiced
this game in numerous instances.
On the sth Inst one Dock Jack
son, a negro guard employed at
Locket’s convict camp near the
Chattahoochee, shot and killed F.
M. Falkner, a wbi f e convict. 16
convicts, guarded by Jackson and
another, went to the river with
buckets to emjfly the camp refuse.
Falkner, who it appears was in
irons, jumped or fell into the river
and Johnson, without a word rais
ed his gun and fired, killing him in
stantly. An inquest was field and
the Jury found the killing justifi
able, as it was made to appear that
it was done to prevent the convicts
escape. Last week Capt. Nelms,
Principal Keeper of the Peniten
tiary, went before an officer and
obtained a warrant charging Jack
son with murder, and it is said that
evidence of a startling character
has been discovered indicating that
the killing was wanton and brutal
and without a shadow of legal ex
cuse.
Near Howell’s cross roads, Ala.,
on Wednesday night, Oct. Bth.
Thus. Davenport, colored, was mur
dered in cold bloo 1. The Rome
Courier gives the following partic
ulars:
“Just before retiring Wednesday
night, Thomas Davenport, a color
ed man living near Cross Roads,
heard a noise in his horse stable,
and went out to see if anything
was goin g wrong. As he approach
ed the stable, Davenport saw a man
come out and dodge around tho
corner. Fearing that an effort was
being made to steal his horse, Dav
enport called to his wife, who was
in the house, to bring his gun, and
he started towards the house, tc
meet her. But he had only taken
a few steps when the. sharp report
of a pistol was heard, and Daven
port fell. The bullet took effect
in the hollow a little to the right of
the spinal column.
The murderer, one Pete Ander
son colored, after shooting down
Davenport, coolly led his horse
from the stable, mounted the ani
mal and rode off. Davenport liv
ed until 10 o’clock yesterday morn
ing. But before dying he said
that while lying on the ground,
mortally wounded, he could plain
ly see the man in the stable, a few
yards from him, and asserted that
Pete Anderton was his murderer.
The horse which Anderson stole
and rode off was found at the river
yesterday morning, which showed
that the theif and murderer was
making for the Georgia line.

EXHIBIT A.
Gegrgia Carroll County:—To
the Grand Jury, October Term
Carroll Superior Court, 18S4.
We the undersigned Committee, j
appointed by the Grand Jury at'
the April Term 1884, of Carroll !
Superiot Court, to examine the i
books of the Tax-receiver, Tax
collector, School Pommissioner,
Treasurer, Sheriff, Clerk Superior
Court and Ordinary, and to report
the results of our investigations to
your Honorable Body, beg leave to
submit the following report:
We have carefully examined the
Tax Receiver’s books and find them
quite neatly and legibly made out.
The T; x Collector’s return', as
evidenced by various receipts, show
that he has properly paid over all
moneys that have come into his
hands.
The County Treasurer's i>ooks
and vouchers correspond with each
other. His books are neat and
kept according to law. We find
from his books and othei sources
that the indebtedness of the count)
amounts to about $4,000.
We find the Sheriff's books prop
erly kept and all necessary entries
made. His State Docket entries
being the same as that kept by the
Clerk.
We have examined the various
dockets and records of the Clerk
of the Superior Court and find
them very neatly and correctly
kept. We heartily approve of his
new system of double indexing
records, recording true hills, etc.
We have carefully examined the j
books of the Ordinary and find ’
them well kept. We strongly en
dorse the Ordinary’s system of us
ing forms printed in Books for re
cording etc. We also find much
improvement in the chirography in
all the present books.
We can cheerfully say for all
these officers that in our opinion,
they have well and faithfully dis
charged their duties, and are an
honor to themselves and a credit to
their county. Their work will com
pare favorably with any in the
State.
We, have made as thorough an
examination as we could of the
County School Commissioner’s
books, papers etc, and find after
some corrections that they show a
balance of $328,52-100 on hand
April 25th 1884. This is in sub

RIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 24. 1884.
Short Talks with the Eoys.
BY M. QUAD.
“it being a rainy morning, with
■ the prospects of a drizzling, tedious
day, let's get the tools out and
hunt around the house for odd
jobs. Here's a pane of glass bro
ken in the kitchen window, and
♦he putty is so old and hard that it
wiL be a slow job to dig it out. If
we had thought of it last night and
applied ke-osetw oil the putty
would come away easy enough,
but as we didn't, let's fry another
plan. Heat that iron poker red
hot and it over the putty a'
few times. Now take that inch
chisel and you spring it away in
pieces two inches long. When the
new pane has been fitted in drive
in—”
“Three or four tacks.”
“Ah! you botch; you want zinc
points.”
“But 1 haven’t any.”
“Ah, well. Take down those
tinners’ shearsand find an old oys
ter can. The tin isn’t heavy
enough, but ve’ll drive in eight
points instead of four and make
’em do. Hold the pane tight as
yon drive 'em in, for if left any
play 7 it will throw the putty off.
Where's tbe putty?”
“Here it is, but it’s as hard ns
a rock."
“Well, soften it.
“How—with water?”
“Just like you! Pour a few
drops of linseed oil on the ball and
break it up and work it in your
hands until ther are no lumps
left. AV hen ready to use, begin
at one cornet of the pane, and if
the putty won't smooth down easi
ly wet the blade of your putty
knife now and then. You may
never be a glazier, but a boy 16
years of age who can't make a pas-,
able job of replacing a broken
pane after one or two trials has a
poor head on his shoulders.'’
“What next? Well, that knob
on the cellar door is loose. The
little screw which held one of the
knobs to the iron shank passing
through the door worked loose and
is lost. Carry the knob and shank
to the locksmith and he will make
a new screw, but we are to do our
own work. Cut that lead fish-line
sinker in two and then place it on
the anvil and pound it out until it
is about the size of a lead pencil.
Now cut it to half an inch in length,
sh? rpen the point a bit, and drive
it in where the screw should go.
When it is “home” a few taps of
the hammer will make a head, and
the job is done. It is rather botchy,
but as this knob is on the cellar
aide of the door it will pass.
Here's one of the lower rounds
out of the kitchen fliair. Bring
the glue-pot, and while the con
tents are heating let's scrape the
end of the round with a knife, ta
king all the old glue off and mak
ing a new surface. If it fits loose
ly into the leg, wind a bit of cot
ton around it. Half a teaspoonful
of hot glue and a few taps will
make that place hold until the chair
is worn out.
Here’s a castor off the refriger
ator, and to make the box stand
solid the cook had propped it up
with a piece of board. Remove
the contents and lay the box on its
back and you will see that a sud
den wrench tore one of the screws
our of the wood and the others
soon worked loose. The plate of
the castor has three holes for
screws. The old holes being torn
out all you have to do is to give the
plate a half turn and make new
ones with your gimlet. Don’t
bore too deep, but plan to force
two thirds of the screw in with the
screw driver. Five minutes’ time
will replace the castor in a solid
manner and eave a call from a car
penter and a bill of fifty-cents.
Let the matter go and the castor
is kicked about and lost and some
day the box takes a lurch and mix
es milk, butter, meat, sauce nnd
other articles into hash.
Here in this corner of tlm room,
the paper hanger, who was work
ing by the roll, played a very com
mon trick. His last lap came with
!in six-iuchts of the corner. In
i stead of cutting the next length
six inches wide, he matches with a
full width piece and lets it pass
the corner and continue on the
i text wall. He knew that inside
of a year the paper would draw
! away from the corner and pucker
1 all out of shape, but it was the efi-
i skst and quickest way. Here it is, I
! full of wrinkles standing out from
' • ° < I
the wall an inch or mote. If your
knife is sharp begin at the ceiling
and cut the paper all the way to
the baseboard. A cup of flour
will make the paste, and you must
add a little glue tc he sure that it
will stick. Run your paste brush
. along the wall first, and tl.?n turn
! the loose paper back and put on ,
your, paste. A common biush
broom should l e used to smoothe 1
the paper to the wall. If you 1
take fifteen minutes for the job yon
can make a neat thing of it.
Here's a door which sticks and <
bothers when you open it. The
trouble is at the top. The door
opened easily enough ar one time, '
but this portion has settled a trifle
and the top easing binds the door, i
It isn't sixty seconds 'work to drive j
out the bolts in the patent hinges
and take off the door. Your smooth- .
ing plain will take off plenty
enough to remedy the difficulty, 1
and in ten minutess from your I
first move the door is back in its ]
place, and there may Leno fmther f
trouble for a dozen years* ]
Now let’s see what we can do
with eight cents’ worth of plaster (
of pa ria. Get an old bowl to mix t
in, and be careful to mix only what f
you w ant at the time, as it hardens (
very rapidly. Here are three or
four litrles in the white wall where
nails have been driven or pulled '
out. Every jar is shaking out a
little fine plaster on the carpet. 1
We can fill them in no time with j
this preparation, and it dries bard 1
and smooth. The marble slab on
the back of the washstand is 1
loose. Scrape it with a knife to '
clear away any old plaster, and I
coat the edge w’th new. Hold ]
the slab firmly down with one |
hand and strengthen your work by
filling the crevice between the tw*o ‘
pieces on the back side. Five min- 1
utes’ time and two cents’ worth of <
material will make a job as solid f
as a rock. This same plaster of j
paris can be used to cement broken
flower pots, fill n til holes overlook
ed by the painter, joints about the 1
mantel, cracks in marble or stone *
hearths, and if the plaster is crack- t
ed any where along the baselmnrrla (
you can fill the places and make a
neat job of it.— Detroit Free
Press.

It is astonishing how much time *
people lose for want of “system.”
A girl rises, dawdles about dressing,
gets late for breakfast, and then
the best part of the day is done.
A young fellow has finished 1 is
work, be idles about with a few
friends and before he knows it, it ,
]
is past nine o’clock, and the even- '
ing is practically wasted*
Any quantity of work can be
crammed into a lifetime if there is
only organization and applica
tion.
No matron or maid, sitting
down for instance, to make a knit
ted counterpane, could do the
whole at one sitting; but a quarter
of an hour’s work everyday would
accomplish the whole task, long as
it is, in the course of a few
weeks.
The minutes, too, have an odd
trick of slipping away so swiftly
that if they are not caught, and
applied to a good purpose, they
are wasted in a manner which
leaves the years practally a
blank.—Cheerful Hours.

“AVhat are you doing now? I

“I'm only going to sew a button

“Why, you are not going out,

“O, no. I only like to get things
ready beforehand, that’s all.”
This little thing, that had been
persisted in by Grace Hammond

saved her more trouble than she
herself ever had any idea of; more,

Washed-Out Hair.
There is a sort of pallid, chalky
complexion which the novelists call
a “wash-out complexion.” It is
ghastly enongh, and no mistake.
AVashed-out. faded, discolored, or
parti colored hair is almost as re
pulsive and melancholy. Parker’s

The Little Graces of Kindess
*
It was a poor, rough-looking
couple on the train that day, with
shabby, time-worn garments and
trace* of poverty plainly marked
in their every look and action. He, *
with an old, faded brown suit,
without collar or cravat, dusty,
disheveled and neglecte I; she, old,
gray-haired and ctireworn, and
showing as well, the sane uncom
promising and unrelenting poverty.
They were evidently mother ami
son, and the family heritage of
sickness, suffering and disease were
alike expressed on each face. The
haggard look and sunken eyes of
the mother bore the unmistakable
impress of consumption in its last
stages, while the other showed that
i i
he too had already commenced the
fight with the same dread foe. Al
together they were a most pitiful I
looking couple, and seemed to
shrink from observation as they i
hovered in one corner of the crc wd
ed car, and looked so forlorn and l
neglected. The conductor told me !
afterwards that they had only sec
ond class tickets, but as their car
was already full he had per.nitted
the nto come into the other.—
Tlx y seemed to rcaliz? that they
weie allowed theie only on tolera
tion, and shrunk ft rd e b ck in'o
the little comer in their efforts to
monopolize as little room as possi
ble. But what drew my attention i
to them more pal ticularly, and ti
nally made them appear almost
beautiful in my sight, w.is the evi
dent and intense affection between
these two. The tender solicitude
of the son, and the genile affection
ate care he manifested for the
mother’s every want, was in itself
touching. He never seemed to
tire all through the long, hot day,
and every now and then would
tenderly draw her tired head down ,
Uli it rested on his shoulder, and J
smooth her poor wrinkled brow
with as tender a touch as a wo- ,
man’s. I thought as I watched
them with her gray hair resting so
confidingly on his dusty brown coat j
that even the dirt and the travel
and time soiled garments of both,
could not take all the beauty away '
from the little picture. As I sat
there idly dividing my attention
between the monotonous scenery 1
of fields and woods ever appear
ing and disappearing, and the ■
strangely assorted couple within, I
moralized a very little quietly to
myself. I thought how few there
are to whom politeness was an
every day action, and how seldom
it comes from a sincere and unsel
fish desire to make others happy.—
It is used so sparingly in some
home circles that one would imag
ine they were afraid of exhausting
the very small stock they had on
hand. Poor economy, my fiiends.
If any are to suffer from our small
supply of courtesy, kindness, etc.,
let it be your chance acquaintances,
those you meet and pass a word
with occasionally, and expend your
entire fortune, though small, a
round your own fireside. Polite
ness and all its kindred graces are
considered too often, well enough
to put on with our hat or gloves,
but thrown aside with these, when
Hie door closes on the eyes of the
world. AVcll enough for the young
man to use in the parlors of his
own fair friends, br.t far too troub
lesome a luxury for the next morn
ing's breakfast with only his mother
and sister. A’ery nice and correct
for the fair one, adding another to
her many charms and graces; but
the sweet little phrases of the eve
ning are sometimes turned off with
the gas, and not thrown away on
mother and father the next day.—
There may be no book on formal
etiquette to adorn the table, teach
ing tbe orthodox rules of so called
good manners, but let kindly cour
tesy and good natured politeness
spring from the heart, and this
overflowing will sweep all contro
versy and illfeeling out of the
charmed circle of home.
“We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometimes guest,
Yet oft for ‘our own,’
The bitter tone.
Though we love our own the best."
There are many in higher walks'
of life who could learn a lesson i
from the two poor sick passengers,
who unconsciously preached a lit
tle sermon on love to me, and duty
■ to those around you.
We can all cultivate the little
s graces of kindness in speaking and
• acting, and thus insensibly our
■ bright hours will be made brighter
and fairer, and the remembrance of
t thetse' will soften even the dark plac
j es of our pathway here.
