Visit to the Misses Bohannan of this counly,
Miss Mattie liolzendorf returned ou Monday
last, looking considerably improved,
J. F. DeLncy and D. M. Roberts, Esqs.,
are absent this week attending Telfair Superior
Court. Also, Mr. J. C. Rawlins, Cleik of
Dodge Superior Court went down to Mcßae
On Tuesday.
The editor and proprietor of this paper left
yesterday morning with his wife on a short
visit to Dublin, their old home. Mfs. Burch
will perhaps remain several weeks with rela
tives and friends.
Messrs. J. H. Lee ahd R. F. De Lamar of
Howkinsville were in town several days last
week. Mr. Lee is the father of Master Willie,
our clever little clerk at the post-office, and
Mr. DeLamar is a nephew of Dr. Buchan.
Win. Mcßae, Esq., left on Tuesday for Tel
lair court. We also had the pleasure of shaking
the hands ol Col. Kibbee and Gen. Horne of
Hawkinsville the same day, who were aboard
the train and also en route for Telfair.
Miss Bertha Gardner of Savannah and a
sister of Mrs. H. Coleman of our town, arrived
here on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Coleman’s
little sou continues quite sick, and it was on
this account that Miss Gardner was telegraph
ed lor.
Mr. Ktono, general agent of the Singer Man
ufacturing Cos. for the Macon district, office at
Macon, called on us Tuesday. He has a pleas
ant face, a frank, open countenance, and im
pressed us as being a thorough gentleman, and
in every way as a worthy representative of that
old reliable company.
That beautiful Japanese lily elicited much
comment, and was greatly admired by many
in Sabbath School last Sunday morning. It
was from Miss Eastman’s flower garden and
the first of the kind that has ever bloomed in
our town, and, perhaps, in this whole section.
It was much appreciated by Mrs. Burch, to
whom it was sent by Miss Eastman.
We have it from reliable information that
on Tuesday last a woman and several children
on the plantation of Mr. James Lancaster,who
resides just over the lino in Pulaski county,
weie hunting eggs, when they came upon a
guinea’s nest containing six dozen eggs. The
nest was in Dodge county, and is but another
evidence of the productiveness of our section.
Milton Edwards of Tatnall county' left for
his homo ou Saturday night last. Mit has
been a student in Prof. Harrison’s school here
a year or more, and by his sober, quiet and
manly course, though a boy, be has won the
confidence and admiration of not only his
teacher and companions, but of all who know
him. He leaves many friends, and when chance
favors hitu with an occasional visit to our town,
As we hope it may, he will find a cordial wel
come. May you be useful in this world aud
happy in the next, Mit. is the parting wish of
your friend .
News of a riot on Sunday morning a few
miles down the M. &. B. railroad reached us
Monday morning. One Jack Mcßoy, colored,
bbtained a warrant against several parties, all
negroes, charging them with assault with in.
tent to murder. Jack says they treated him
very badly by beating him With fence rails, cut
ting at him with knives, and last of all using a
club ax on him. And this all, too, says Jack, be
cause he wanted to get his wife, his bosom
companion, to accompany him homeward aud
not go with that otiiur fellow,
“Why not advertise aud let your neighbor
know what yen have to sell? A visitor on
Tuesday informed us that it happened in his
line to make inquiries of a dealer here in our
town as to the side of a certain line of goods,
w hen he was informed that there was no sale
here now for said goods. Being at another
store just a few minutes later, he heard the
merchant say he would have to send to Macon
for some of these very articles as they were no 1
kept in town. This is only one instance, ami
yet merchants won’t advertise and let people
know what they have to Sell.
We are indebted to our fellow-townsman,
Mr. James M. Arthur, for a mess of sweet po
tatoes. They are of the St. Domingo variety,
and very early. Mr. Arthur says his vines are
quite rack, but he was surprised a few days ago
when walking over his patch, to find the ridges
greatly cracked, and, upon examining, found
good steed eating potatoes. He soon gathered
some, and finding that he had enough for two
messes he sent us one. This vos kind and
we appreciate it.
Mr, G, W. Walker of this county will please
accept our thanks for the largest cabbage we
have seen. It was weighed by Dr. Buehan,
and weighed 9* pounds. These all but tend
to confirm the many evidences I liat outs is the.
best section in the world, all things considered,
and another that our citizens are waking up
and beginning to fully appreciate the signs ot
the times, particularly in the matter of enter*
prise aud energy.
We made a short trip to Macon on Monday
afternoon, spending only two hours in the city.
Visited the large retail establishment of Messrs.
W. A. Julian & Cos., took tea at the Nationul
Hotel, where we found our old friend Col. Cor
bett, the courteous proprietor, still untiring in
his efforts to administer to the various wants
of the numerous guests of his popular house.
Here, too, we met Hon. A. C. Pate and G P.
Woods, of Hawkinsville, and C. C. Smith,
Esq., aud Dr. Kea, of McYiHe, all of whose
company, together with that of Col. Simmons’,
we enjoyed ou our homeward trip down the
road on Monday night Judge Pate was on
his way to Telfair to hold the called court for
the trial of several prisoners charged with
sheep stealing, poisoning, and perhaps others.
The court convened on Tuesday morning.
Preaching Saturday and Sunday
Next by I>r. A. J. Battle.
Our citizens, and the community generally,
will greet with pleasure the announcement that
Rev. Dr. A. J. Battle, Presidei t of Mercer
University, will pteaeh here oa Saturday and
Sabbath next. It is earnestly desired that all
attend these services both days. Dr. Battle is
too well and favorably known as an eminent
scholar and divine, to need any words of com
mendation from us. Services on Satur.lay
will commence promptly at 11 o’clock, a. m.

Half Sheets.
Owing to a considerable increase in our sub
scription list after running off the outside of
our paper last week, we were forced to send
out half sheets to a number of our exchanges.
W r e cannot say that we regret this either, lor
we were very glad, indeed, to get the increase
to our list) and of course we could not let our
subscribers suffer. Our brethren of the Press
will Understand.
Shooting Affray in Laurens Cos.
NVe learn from our Dublin exchanges of the
horrible murder ot one Mr. W. C. Chester
by a Mr. A. D. Moye at Corley’s store in
Laurens county on Saturday, the Gth inst. A
negro was also dangerously cut the same day.
It seems that there was a gathering of uegroes
on that occasion at this store, where was a sup
ply of that poisonous stuff, which, when quaff
ed, makes brutes and devils of men, and causes
them so oftentimes to see the very life blood of
their nearest and bast friends flow, their own
hands haviug inflicted the dastardly wounds.
Such it seems was the case on this occasion.
These parties, it is said, were friends, and cas
uallly met at this store on the day of the ne
gro frolic, and joined in the social glass, one
after another perhaps, until after nightfall.
When the last one was taken, the two friends
walked out of (he house and, according to the
evidence, not a word was spoken, when this
man, A. D. Moye, took from his packet a pistol
and shot his friend W, C. Chester, who alter
walking a few steps remarked, "I am a dead
man, ” aud in a moment was a corpse, leaving
a poor woman with six children to scuffle for
as best she can. What a sad commentary up
on man’s boasted intelligence and refinement.
Oh, mighty demon ! thou that destroyest in
man all the nobler sensibilities that elevate
him above the brute creation, when, oh when,
will thy insatiable thirst le gratified? i
Another Runaway.
The Rev. John Brown, colored, aud Mr. F.
C. Materne’s bay horse have done their share
in the way of furnishing matter for our local
columns for some time past, and the runaway
on Thursday last happened just a little too late
lor lest week’s issue. John sajs in jumping
out of the wagon at the depot he shuck the
“funny-bone” of bis elbow ou the wheel, which
deadened his arm, and the horse taking flight
at the noise proceeded at once to get away from
there. It took him but a few second to reach
Dr. Fisher's residence, a distance of about 250
or 300 yards up sth avenue, running nearly
into the piazza and throwing the wagon body
against the balustrade with a tremendous
crash, knocking out nearly all the balusters,
striking the corner of the piasz a with the wag
on, tearing up a portion of the flooring, aud
giving Mrs. Fisher, who was iuside the house,
a terrible shock. She heard the horse coining,
but did not see him until the wagon was
thrown against the piazza. The wagon was
left near the corner of the house aud garden,
but the horse kept on his wild race some three
or four miles into the country. John says
much as he hates it he will have to give him
up.

Closing’ Exercises of East man
Academy.
The Spring Term of our Academy closed on
Wednesday, 10th inst., with a public examina*
tion in the afternoon, including rehearsals,
compositions, etc., together with an excellent
address from our townsman D. M. Roberts,
Esq. These supplemented by a continuance
at night of rehearsals, the reading of composi
tions, etc., interspersed here and there with
some excellent music led by Mrs. Moss at the
organ, with Misses Viuing and Herrman and
Messrs Moss and Sutton to aid in the singing,
made up a most interesting entertaiumeut. The
exercises were well attended by tin patrons
aud friends of the school, and gave entire sat*
tsfaction. Prof. G. A. Harrison continues to
be the worthy Prineip and of this school, and our
tow u and community are to be congratulated
upon having so good aud worthy a man at the
head of our educational interests. He is a
profound scholar and thorough Christian gen
tlemau. The school is made up chiefly of
children, and many of them small, haviug but
few if any grown up students in attendance’
but they acquitted themselves most creditablv
many ot them showing signs of marked im’
provemeut, and all reflecting credit upon them,
selves and their excellent teacher. Mr. Rob
erts, we are told, delivered his address in one
of his pleasant and happy styles, The delivery
as well as the address was highly compliment*
ed. There was a nice supper prepared in the
school room after the exercises were over, and
it is needless to add that here again the littlt
fellows did ample justice to the occasion.

The Social Reading Club.
* ,
At “Snnnyeide," the Harrison’s home, two
miles from Eastman down the railroad, was a
pleasant gathering on Friday evening last—
the meeting of the above named club. The
Weekly Chionicle was well ably conducted by
by Rev. Mr. Whiting aud Mrs. G. F. Harri*
son. The selections of Miss Fannie Harrison
aud Mr. C. B. M urrell—the latter being read
by 31 iss Fannie Herrman—were also excellent.
The committee on amusement consisting of
3liss Eliza Harrison and Mr.. Win. A. 3lor
gau, also performed faithfully their part, as
was fully attested by the many peals of laugh
ter that came forth from the participants, in
cluding all iu attendance, while carrying out
this part of the programme. The short time
devoted to these iuuoeent amusements, after
the literary exercises, is always an attractive
feature at these social evening gatherings.
About ten o'clock the urbane t'rof. G. A. Hal.
rison iuvited all out into the back yard, and
there in the hright, lovely moonlight was a
long table covered with large, fine watermelons.
The sight was a sufficient hint, and a jolly
good time was had in demolishing them. This
was anew aud much appreciated feature in
these exercises. The meeting to-morrow even
ing will be held at the residence of Mr. H. J.
Sapp, commencing at o’clock.
Our Cochran Department.
WILBUR F. KELSEY, Editor.
C|>chran is sadly in need of a fire depart
ment, and we wish to oall the attention of the
business men of the town to this lamentable
fact. The town is built entirely of wood, aud
should a fire break out there is no telling where
it would end, not,”at least, until many times
the cost of an engine, in all probability, will
have been consumed. The town is iu constant
danger, aud the outlay of a few hundred dol.
lars for an engine might save many thousands
of dollars and perhaps much distress and suf
fering. Besides, if there was a fire department
iu town, insurance would be a great deal cheap
er, and the engine would soefn pay for itself iu
that way. We urge a consideration of this
matter seriously upon the merchrnts and prop
erty owners of the town. Would it not at least
be Well for them to call a meeting to discuss
the matter?
There is a stranger at Capt. Truuuell’s; but
we won’t tell bis name yet awhile.
Mr. Geo. F. Hendricks living a few miles
north of Cochran, brings in three fine bolls of
open cotton.
Elias Herrman, Esq., formerly of Eastman
but now of Macou, was iu our town a short
while last week. Come agaiu, ’Lias, and stay
longer next time.
Mr. Wm. A. Morgan of Eastman and a bro
ther to our fellow-townsman Dr. Morgan, has
been ifi town several days attending Prof. Da
vis’ dancing lessons.
A.*
There has been another one 'of those pleas
ant soirees at Raitord’s Hall last week, but on
account of business engagements, it was not
our good fortune to be present,
+-40*
Mr. W. N. Ryle of this place brought down
ou Friday last from his garden a watermelon
that weighed forty-four pounds. lie has an
other that when ripe he is certain will weigh
full fifty pounds if the seasons hold out.
Dr. Jordan, who was thought to be improv
ing last week, instead, is considered to be
worse, and is now lying quite low. We trust
that a kind Providence will yet restore him to
health and vigor.
We notice in Mr. G. T. McVey’s warehouse
foui teen bales of eotton belonging to and being
a part of last year’s crop of Major J. M. White,
one of our largest planters, and best and influ
ential citizens. The Major doesn't seem to
feel the heavy loss.
Mr. Jacob Maas, one of Cochran’s largest
merchants, will leave in .a few days for New
York City, where he will lay in an extraordi
nary heavy stock of first class goods to supply
his Fall trade. Mr. Maas will make a tour of
the Western States before be returns, visiting
Cincinnati, St. Louis, and others of tbe largest
aud most important Western cities.
We learn with pleasure that Prof. Davis has
concluded to move his family from New Or
leans to Cochran, and make his home for the
future in our town. The Professor Ins made
many Triends in this community; is an intelli
gent, polished gentleman, and even from our
limited acquaintance with him we hesitate not
in Staying that he and his family may te con
sidered an acquisition to any community,
Cols. Robeft Wayne and A. E. Tickets of
Laurens county were in town on Friday last.
These gentlemen are among the largest planters
in this section of country, aud are doing most
of their trading in Cochran, inasmuch as they
can do as well or better than in Macon.
Mr. Thos. R. Hendricks of this place has a
pair of extraordinary pigs, made a present to
him by Col. Robert Wayne of Laurens county,
that are only three months old and will weigh
at least forty pounds. They aye of the Berk
shire slock, and will make very fine hogs. If
our farmers and stock raisers Would Secure
this kind oi breed of hogs, they could very
easily raise enough meat to supply the loc;d
demand.
We note on our streets a great many far'
mers whose bright and beaming countenances
clearly depict that in ward satisfaction of the
better times which will be realized after gath
ering the present crop. From our conversation
with a larger portion of these, we learn that as
a general thing they have the best crops that
they have had since the wai. Especially so is
the grain crop, which is now past the least
possible chance of being injured by drought.
♦
It is a pity that more attention is not given
by the people of this section to fruit-growing.
This climate and soil are extraordinarily well
adapted to thfe growing of almost every kind
of fruit, and it might be made a source of con
siderable revenue. What fruit there is in this
section is very fine, but the quantity is limited.
Fruit can be easily raised in almost any quan
tity, and could be made to pay both by ship
ping to Northern markets aud by drying and
preservnig for winter use.
Quite a ludicrous scene was witnessed last
Thursday evening on Beach street. A couple
of darkies after making their purchases and on
trying to start home, found their horned hor
ses unmanageable, whereupon one of the dar
kies got in trout of them and having the lines
secured to his hands, or his hands unfortu
nately secured by the liues, the yoke of oxeu
made a break for home, and he had to outrun
them or be run over. The oxen ran aud the
darkey ran, until the yoke having beoome de
tached, the wagon was left behind and the oxen
posted past the frightened and nimble darkey
who bet a few moments before was in such a
fly'ubj aud perilous situation.
W-e were in our beautiful little sister city
Hawkiusville, a short while on Tnursday best;
were sorry that we did not have more time to
look at the town, but as our visit was a busi
ness one, did not have time to see any but the
business portion of the town. Ilawkinsviileis
in a growing and prosperous condition, and is
very evidently a town filled with clever and in
telligent people. We are under obligations to
Judge Pate lor courtesies extended ns. It was
our pleasure to meet Mr. G. P. Woods of the
Dispatch , whom we were particularly impressed
with on account of his pleasant and genial
manners; also to meet Cols. Kibbee, Martin,
and others, both ot the legal aud other profes
sions, all of wnoni we found to be pleasant
and genial gentlemen. We were glad to learn
that Col. Kibbee would be a candidate for
Congress from this district. No abler or better
representative could be found iu the district.
The people of this portion of the distiiet know
Col. Kibbee’s worth and merit, and are deter
mined that if possible he shall be notrlnated.
lie is a man who as a representative would re
flect houor on this or any other Shite. We trust
that the nominating convention will bear in
mind the excellent and sagacious services ren
dered the State by Col. K., while in the Senate
of the Georgia Legislature. Before closing this
article we must say a word about the country
between here and Ilawkinsville. The crops
are the best we have seen anywhere since the
war, elegant fields of corn and rich fields of
cotton line the road on either side almost the
entire way, and is certainly tile mast beautiful
farming country we have ever seen,
[For the Eastman Times.
Phonographic.
And the phonograph is feminine gender be
cause she or it repeats? Well, now, it is very,
very evident that a man wrote that article. Of
course, it is an extract fronl a Western paper;
I hardly think a Southern exchange would be
guilty of such a waut of gallantry. It is as
tonishing to me how the so-called Lords Of
Creation should slander creatures before whom,
previous to marriage, they bow the knee and
worship, or seem to worship.
It repeats, does it? Well-a-day! Do men
never repeat? See congregated on our side'
walks groups of men earnestly engaged iu con
versation. Here comes a tiny little woman, a
dainty specimen of human nature. See the
blush mantle her cheek as she passes hesita
tingly by, because it takes all the courage she
cau muster to encounter such a group. She
feels intuitively that she is to be analyzed, and
is. Oh, the tongues of the sterner sex! How
they wig.wag! The same group is, perhaps,
iu the same position when a woman of inde
pendent air and bearing passes. She, too, is
analyzed, but iu a different way. “Oh, the
varity of Christian charity!” I have made up
my mind to one thing—if ever a specimen of
the genus homo passes by me just to give him
tits, (I wish I could spell it with a ph.)
Let a man exchange places for the time with
a woman; let hirnkee]} house iu these days of
household trials when faithful servants are
among the things that were, and see what wo
man’s sphere is. In imagination I see him
officiating iu the cuisine department. With
what grace and dignity he performs all the du
ties! Then, my dears, you would not taste all
the dainties set before you w ith such fastidious
appetites. Ah, me! And then you will not
fuss and fume because everything is not served
up to suit your epicurean taste. “Wad some
power tli’ giftie gie us, to see ourselves as ithers
see us.” ‘ Oh! the naughty, naughty men.”
And woman repeats does she? Let me whis
per a secret iu your ear. Bend down. If you
want your buttons sewed on, your soeks darn
ed, your household managed properly, the'll
you had best hold that unruly weapon which
lies between your teeth. “ The straight road
to a man’s heart is down his throat,” is a well*
worn expression. I hope, gentlemen, you will
not take offer,sej but remember one tiling, that
oue especial reason why men do not repeat is
that they tremble when they hear of bowie
knives, pistol , coffee, etc. Men are afraid to
repeat; they are mortally afraid of each other
though they attack one another through the
columns of the aud even then it fre
quently results in blows.
Women repeat do they? Listen a second.
Do you waut a gentle, tender hand to wipe the
moisture from your brow when disease preys
upon your physical frame? Do you wish love
and affection bestowed upon you? Do you
want a friend in weal or woe? Theu, never,
as you love your own personal comfort, never
say that woman, your solace, your comfort,
your joy, your tease, your torment, repeats.
Beware, or a committee of ladies, armed with
their favorite weapon—the broomstick, may
wait on vou. you abominable, naughty men.
Take the advice of Amicus.
