In attendance at a Bankrupt examination
held here on Monday, we noticed Isaac Beck
ett, Esq., Register iu Bankruptcy, and Capt.
Robert Falligaut of Savannah, Hon. 0. C.
Kibbee of Hawkiusville, and C.C. Smith, Esq.,
Major D. F. Mcßae, J. F. Mcßae, A. H. Mc-
Rae, D. L. Mcßae, F. J. Durden, Uriah Sears,
A. P. Smith and L. D. McMillan, of Telfair
county.
It will be remembered by our readers that
iu the latter put of March last, the store of
Mr. W. P, Burt at Chauncey, was broken into
and a lot of money, canned goods, cigars, etc.,
stolen,but the miscreant, Jack Pines, ajnegro,
escaped at the time, although the greater part
of the goods were recovered. On Monday the
15th inst., Mr,. H. S. Hill, deputy Sheriff,
heard of him in Montgomery county, started
after him and brought him to this place, where,
Thursday last, he Lad a hearing before Wm.
Mcßae, Esq., who had him committed to the
Macon jail, in default of bond of_slooo to ap
pear at the next term of our Superior Court.
Closing* Exercises of the Spring
Term of Dublin Academy.
It was our privilege to attend the closing
exercises of the Spriug Term of the Dublin
Academy on Thursday last. The examination,
which consumed the entire day, was conduct
ed iu the main by Col. W. S. Ramsay, princi
pal of the school. Trof. R H. Ramsay of
Midway, who is one of the oldest and most
experienced erucators in Georgia, was in at
tendance and did not let an opportunity
pass without testing the skill and thoroughness
of each class. We do not remember if any
others took an active part in examining the
classes, though many present were frequently
urged to do so by the principal. The house
was pretty well filled during the day by the
parents and friends of the school, as well as
visitors from a distance. Nearly all the neigh
boring counties were represented on this occa
sion. The examination was quite thorough;
indeed, as much so as was possible for one
Guy s work, and it is due to the school to say
that all acquitted themselves iu a creditable,
and many of them In a most praiseworthy
manner; and the teacher though having devo
ted nearly his whole time to teaching since
his own school* boy days—he having graduated
at the age of about 18 years—and many oft
repeated examination, we doubt if his experi
ence, faithfulness aud ability has evei had a
more meritorious compliment than was mani
fested on this occasion, all things considered,
a large propoition of the school being youn
and comparative beginners.
The exhibition at night Was quite a success,
and Consisted of speeches, declamations, com
positions, charades, dialogues, music, etc., etc.
The house at night was crowded, the windows
were filk and, and quite a number were forced to
remain outside. The weather was oppressive,
and but for the considerate principal in provi
ding an abundance of iced lemonade, it would
have been unbearable iu that densely packed
house. Some of the compositions read by the
young ladies, and some of the speeches deliv
ered by the boys, would have graced the more
pretentious rostrums of our college commence
ments. The exercises were interspersed with
music elegantly rendered by Miss Zoey Black
shear aud Messrs, B. F. and E. J. Blackshear.
This was a very interesting and entertaining
pert of the programme, and much credit is
due to this trio for its successful execution.
The whole was pronounced a grand success
by all who witnessed these exercises, reflecting
credit alike upon teacher and pupils. We
think the day is not far distant when this
school, with its excellent teacher, wil) receive
liberally of the patronage they so justly merit.
We wish them a bright and prosperous future.
We had a pleasant call ou Monday from
our old friend and school mate Mr. Allred
Smith of Telfair county. He is from the sec
tion of tho new railroad constructed under the
supervision of Hon, A. G. P. Dodge, and re
ports very heavy transactions in the lumber
business along its liue by the Georgia Land &
Lumber Company.

Death of James F. Robinson.
The death of Hon. James F. Robinson of
Laurens county, which occurred at his resi
dence ou Monday morning the 15th iust., cast
a gloom over the entire community. His
death, though sudden, was not perhaps so
much a surprise as it was a shock, as he had
been suffering from severe and sudden attacks
of apoplexy for about two years. He was in
usual health on Sunday, and was thought to
be unusually cheerful having spent the day
with relatives. He was attacked, however,
about 3 o’clock Monday morning and survived
only about six hour, breathing his last about
9 o’clock. His life was one of activity and
usefulness, never turning a deaf ear to the
cries of the needy and suffering. Asa friend
he was firm and faithtul; as a brother, son,
father and husband, he was untiring, tender
and devoted. He had served his county
faithfully for several years as one of the Justi
ces of the Inferior Court, as well as having
filled other important trusts tot the Confeder*
ate Government, and since the war for the
United States. In 1872 he was elected to the
Senate from the 16th Senatorial district, and
served his four years in that capacity with
credit to himself, and to the satisfaction of his
constituency, He was the son of Hon. Rob’t,
Robinson, who for many vears represented
Laurens county in the General Assembly, and
died about eight years ago. Mr, Robinson
leaves a wife aud three children, a mother and
several sisters, aud a host of other relatives
and friends, to mourn his premature death.
They have our deepest sympathies.
The Sunday School prize was awarded to
M.ss Carrie Bishop on Sunday last for having
brought into the school the greatest number
ot new scholars. She had brought in thirteen;
other little girls, also, had brought iu quite a
number. The prize awarded was a Bible, and
was presented by Rev. F. C. Waite, former
Superintendent, with a few very appropriate
remarks.

Mercer University.
We have received a well arranged and neatly
printed catalogue of Mercer University for
1877 and ’7Bv We regret to note the fact that
out of the long list of names therein recorded,
so few appear from our immediate section of
the State. Mercer ranks as one of the first
institutions of learning iu Georgia, and perhaps
in the South. The Faculty, composed as it
is of men of great literary and scientific re
search and experienced educators, gives to this
an advantage that very many of our equally
pretentious colleges and universities do not en
joy. Mercer offers in many respects very su
perior inducements to those having boys to
educate, and we should be pleased to have our
section represented there ou the first Wednes
day in October next, by at least a score of our
wire grass boys.
Most of the road between this place aud
Dublin has been recently worked, and portions
ol it, we are glad to say, is unusually well
done. Overseer James Bass did a portion of
bis work better than any road working we
have seen in many a day,whence we vote him
the blue ribbon. We are glad to note these
improvements in the road, but we object to
poles being thrown acioss the road aud cover
ed over with dirt, making a huge ridge; and
equally objectionable is the plan of digging
ditches across the road to prevent washing.
By ditching farther up the hill ou each side of
the road, and raising the middle, there will be
no necessity for makitg ridges or ditches
across the road.
Services Saturday and Sunday
by Rev. A. J. Battle, D. D.
Our church goiug people were greatly edi
fied by the services ou Saturday and Sabbath
last conducted by Rev. A. J. Battle, D. I).
As an eminent scholar and divine, Dr. Battle
occupies a high and enviable position. He is
a native Georgian, born in Hancock county,
though perhaps the greater portion of his life
has been spent in Alabama. Six years ago he
was elected President of Mercer University,
which brought him back to his native State.
He has held this position ever since, and filled
it with great credit to himself and to the en
tire satisfaction of all true lovers, throughout
the State and elsewhere, of this grand old in
stitution of learning.
On Saturday the congregation, though small
was appreciative and attentive. Ou Sabbath
at 11 o’clock the house was well filled, and a
good audience at night.
The most striking features iu the delivery
of these sermons, were, perhaps, the earnest
ness and pathos, together with a marked fa.
miliarity with his subjects in all their bearings,
as was evinced by every word and sentence
uttered during their delivery. Ho at once ad
dressed himself to his hearers and riveted their
attention, then led them gently along whither
soever he would, the interest manifested never
fagging for an instant His language was
eloquent in its simplicity, eveu the most un
learned found no difficulty iu comprehending
his ideas.
We would not detract from these excellent
sermons by an attempt at summarizing, but
will leave them with those who heard them
with all their tine impressions, and in the
hands of Him who doeth all things well, and
who is abundantly able to sanctify them to
the good of immortal souls and to his own
glory, with the hope Jthat much good may re.
suit,
This w’as the doctor’s first visit to our place,
and our people were very much pleased with
him, as he was also with our town and people.
We have his promise to again visit U 9, and
hope that it may be at no very distant* day.
We learn through a private letter of the
death of Col. A. E. Vickers, a prominent citi
zen ar.d extensive planter of Laurens county,
which occurred at his residence at 9£ o’clock
last Sunday morning. We are not advised as
to the character of his illness, but it was cer
tainly very brief. He will be greatly missed.
Telfair Superior Court.
After a busy week, Telfair Superior Court
adjourned Saturday evening at six o’clock.
The cases for which this special term was
called, were all tried and disposed of. In the
case of the State against David Wells, charged
with attempt to commit murder by poisoniug
the well of John D. Wynne iu Telfair county,
the jury returned a verdict ot guilty, and the
Judge sentenced him the full limit of the law,
seven years iu the penitentiary. A motion in
arrest of judgment and a motion for anew
trial were filed, and will be heard in Eastman
on the 31st iust.
Iu the case of the State against Harrison
Webb (colored), charged with obstructing the
Macon and Brunswick railroad, the jury re
turned a verdict of guilty, and he was sentenc
ed to serve eight years in the penitentiary.
Judge Pate very feelingly admonished the
young criminals of the enormity of their
crimes, and urged repentance as the surest
way to a future life of usefulness.
The cause celebre of the Court was the case
of the State against 'P. F. A. Webb, William
aud John Walker, charged with the offense of
larceny iu taking and carrying away forty
head of scock sheep, Jthe property of Mrs.
Eliza Clements. The evidence disclosed the
fact that the sheep were stolen and sold to
Jesse Bennett of Coffee county, but the theory
of the defeuse was that the witnesses for the
State committed the offense instead of the de
fendants. After a thorough investigation,
elaborate arguments by counsel, and the
charge of the court, the jury retired and iu a
short time returned a verdict of not guilty.
The verdict was well received.
Thus ended the first special term of the
court eve! held iu Telfair. We hope the peo
ple of that couuty will uot find it necessary to
call another, since the expense is very great.
The opinion oi tho people seemed to be that
holdiug the court would have a wholesome
and beneficial effect. We hope so, and we
hope to see this staunch old county in her on
ward career, rid herself of all reproach by
speedily condemning all crime, and attempts
at crime, and that criminals will receive their
just rewards at her hands.
>Ve took time while in Dublin last week to
visit the offices of the Dublin Post aud Gazette.
At the office of the Post we found Bro. Hicks,
the editor and proprietor, busy at his desk.
Ou our approach, however, he arose, gave us
a cordial welcome, and showed us through
his well fitted up office. His press and type
all new, just from the foundry, enables him
to get out one of the neatest papers, in me
chanical execution, iu Georgia, His manage
ment of the Post is excellent, and we predict
for him eminent success. Iu the office of the
Gazette we only met with a typo, the associate
editor, Ira Stanley, being absent. We wish
Mr. Stanley abundant success in his promotion
from typo to associate editor.
-
W e have thermometers in our town of course,
and the mercury here has been dancing to the
tune of 98° aud 100°, now and then. We
make these simple statements in order to keep
ourselves alongside of the world in matters of
absorbing attention. We might modestly state
that this is not the first time our thermometers
have done so creditably. One would think
from way the certain places, notably, St. Louis
Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and others
—were puffing and talking that Old Sol had
never before honored them with so much of
his glory and power. Why, we are quite fa
miliar with his glorious majesty. To be sure
his presence and the recent manifestations of
his power have impressed us most forcibly;
but no one here has been prostrated by them.
Improvements in Dublin.
W e noticed while in Dublin last week seve
ral recent improvements in the town, promi
nent among which is J. M. Graham's new
dwelling and grounds; W. J. Scarborough’s
dwelling, which is rapidly approaching com
pletion; and ibe store house formerly occupied
by Col. E. C Corbett but now belonging to W
B. Jones & Cos., is undergoing thorough re
pairs and having another story added. These
buildings present a handsome appearance,
and are evidences of the thrift and enterprise
that seems to permeate the town. The streets
and sidewalks, also, are evidences of a wide
awake town. We noticed anew roof on Mr.
Benton’s house, aud other improvements. We
congratulate you. neighbors, and wish you ev
ery success iu building up your town.
The Social Rending Club.
Mb. Editoe:—Tbe interesting meetings of
this club have been reported through your
columns so often that your reach rs naturallv
t xi>ect in each issue of the Times an accourt
of the previous meeting.
The meeting on last Friday evening at the
residence of Mr. H. J. Sapp, was one long to
be remembered by those who had the good
fortune to attend. All the appointees for con
ducting the different exorcises of the evening,
performed their duties faithfully and well.
The Weakly Chronicle, the select readings,
and the amusements, were liighly enjoyable.
And then the bounteous hospitality and un
limited kindness of tmr host and hostess, de
manded and received at the hands of the club
sentiments of the highest gratification aud ap
preciation. Notwithstanding the club has
given notice that they do not expect refresh
ments to be furnished at their meetings, yet on
this occasion they were provided in abundance.
Delicious cake, iced lemonade, fruits and
melons, were furnished in such quantities that
the club, though partaking to their full ca
pacity, could not cousume the half of them.
Before the club adjourned, they nnanimous
passed a vote of thanks to Mr. aud Mrs. Sapp
for the kind aud hospitable manner in which
they had been entertained.
This club is one of the institutions of our
town that has survived the apprehensions of
those who doubted its stability, and its mem
bers and friends are gratified at its uniformly
harmonious and interesting meetings. First
suggested by a lady of our town in an article
published in the Times, it soon perfected a
permanent organization, and has never missed
holding a meeting, no matter what the weath
er and other difficulties have been. Long may
it flourish, and may its members always find
pleasure and profit in its meetings. M.
Eastman, Ga., July 2“2d, 1878.
First Open Cotton.
The first boll of open cotton that has been
exhibited in our town was thrown upou our
table yesterday by H. J. Sapp. Mr. Sapp says
he noticed several bolls open in his patch.
He has some very fine cotton, but says this
dry weather is telling upon it rapidly.
From .Laurens Hill.
[We are indebted to a friend in Lamens

friends would favor us with items of news and
interest from their neighborhoods. —Ed.]
The prospects for rain are very discouraging

There are a greet many chills and levers,
and of a very flagrant nature.
The peach and watermelon crops are better

There was a seining in ltocky Creek and a
fish fry under the large oaks near Rocky Creek

Mi ss Carrie Stubbs is visiting relatives in
Laurens. Miss Carrie adds greatly to the en
joyment of the neighborhood.
Mr. S. V. Sauls has a fine piece of corn
near Rocky Creek church, upon which the
fodder is nearly ready for pulling.
Or Fr'day last, Thomas Burke of Telfair
county carried to mill a sack of corn from this

Liver is King:.
The Liver Is the imperial organ ot the whole
human system, as it controls the life, health
and happiness of man. When it is disturbed
in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are
tbe natural result. The digestion of food, the
movements of the heart and blood, the act on
of the brain and nervous system, are all im
mediately connected with the workings of the
Liver. It has been successfully proved that
Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing
all persons afflicted with Dyspepsia or Liver
Complaint, and all the numerous symptoms
that result from an unhealthy condition of the
Liver and Stomach. Sample bottle to try, 10
cents. Positively sold in all towns on the
\\ esteru Continent. Three doses will prove
that it is just what you want.
Finest Wheat in the World.
