Mr. James Rutherford of Pulaski county
died Friday morninig last with congestive chill
He was about sixty-five years of age, and said
to be a very upright citizen.
Judge Rozar, Ordinary, let the jail contract

John DeGroat is the lucky man, and was al
lowed some little time iff which to make the
bond.
Miss Goolz of Macon is visiting our town.
She is the guest of Mrs. Armstrong.
Also, Mrs. Henman and Miss Mooney of
Savannah have been here several days as the

See law card of Capt. Rolliri A, Stanley of
Dublin, which appears in this issue. Capt. S.

entire section, both as a lawyer and a high
toned Christian gentleman.
Mr. J. R. Locke of Laurens county called
on us Tuesday. He reports good rains in his
section which were greatly needed. The
branches were nearly all dried up and stock
were beginning to suffer for water.
Mr. E. E. Wilkins, our excellent railroad
agent is off down the road oh a few days’ fur
lough. We wish him a pleasant trip. Char
lie Armstrong is .acting agent, and Y&a. A.
Morgan as telegraph operator, during iris ab
sence.
We learn that bur clever young friend, Wil
bur F. Moss, has accepted a situation at Te

go instructed was not known by our informant,
J. E. Woottea of Montgomery county, an
old friend asid pupil of ours, but more recent
ly from Eihory College, called on us yesterday.
We were indeed pleased to shake his hand,
and look into his genial face once more.—
We learu through him that Montgomery coun
ty selected Iloii. John Mcßae, Hon. D. J, Mc-
Rae, Hon. Jas. D. Clements and Angus Me-
Cr.nnnan, to cast the vote of Montgomery
county at the approaching Congressional con
vention. They go uniustructed.

Brother Burch complains that the Georgian
has failed to reach him for the last two weeks
and would know the reason. We can only re
ply, we don’t know; nor neither can we tell
why we failed to receive the Times or Dispatch
this week. In short, Michael, there are many
little things connected with postal regulations
that we can’t exactly solve. — South Georgian.
Neither we, brother Burton,
Mr. F. R. Stanley, of Dublin, called on us
Tuesday morning. He says that Mrs. Jack
Perry and Mrs. Rawls Perry are yet iu Laurens
county jail, and that several members of the
Dublin bar, together with Judge Duncan, Or
dinary, and Dennis McLendon, Sheriff, left
Dubiiu on Monday for Hawkinsville to attend
the hearing of the habeas corpus before Judge
Pate on Tuesday. This Perry case seems to
be creating considerable excitement in Laurens.
In looking over our exchanges we are con
stantly reminded that we did not mention the
eclipse last week. Well, the truth of the mat
ter is that we failed to make any new discov
eries, notwithstanding we, too, had our appli
ances—smoked glass —and took observations
as best we could. The sun was obscured by
clouds nearly the whole time, and if the moon,
or any other planet or sattelite, came over it,
we failed to observe it, hence did not speak ot
1L
During the past week we have had quite a
uumber of good rains. We think enough has
1 alien to be called a “season.” Indeed, our
opinion is that this favorite expression might
have been applied to the rain that fell Sunday
afternoon and continuing until after nightfall;
and we think upon this j’ou would have agreed
with us if you had, iu company with your
better half and sever il little responsibilities,
been caught at a neighbor’s house spending a
pleasant afternoon with friends, and had been
forced to return home that night.
DWELLING HOUSE BURNED.
W. W. Harrell Sustains Another
Heavy Loss by Fire-Incendi
arism.
On Sunday night last between 11 and 12
o’clock, the fine residence of Mr. W. W. Har
rell on his river plantation was entirely con
sumed by fire. The flames wefe making such
headway before it was discovered as to render
it absolutely impossible to do anything towards
saving the building. The gentleman whom
Mr. Harrell has living there was absent, spend
ing the night with one of his neighbors, aud
the fire was first discovered by Mrs. Forte
who liyes near there, and who gave the alarm.
The house was comparatively new, having
been built in 1871 at a cost of about $7,300.
It was a large two-story wooden building, all
nicely plastered inside, and was considered
one of the nicest and most comfortable houses
in this Whole Section.
Fortunately Mr, H. bail all his furniture
here in town where he is living, so he lost
nothing but his dwelling in this instance,
which, however, was quite heavy, especially
when supplemented by the $3,000 loss, so re
cently sustained by the burning of his stables,
horses, etc.
His dwelling was insured in two companies
tor $1,500 in each, making $3,000 insurance.
Another policy for $1,500 in a third company,
had expired only a tew weeks before the burn
ing.
Mr. Harrell is thoroughly satisfied that this
is the work of an incendiary.
The loss in this instance is estimated at
$4,000 over and above the insurance.
Mr. M. J. Guyton, formerly of Laurens
county but now of Marianiia, Florida, who
had been on a visit to his old home, took the
train here on Monday last on his return to
Florida. His mother, Mrs. M. A. Guyton,
of Laurens county, took the same train for
Marietta, Ga., for the double purpose of visit
ing her other sen, Mr. Charles Guyton, and
at the sanle time hopiug to realize beneficial
results to her much impaired health irom the
pure mountain air. May her expectations be
realized in tht fullest, and may the travelers
safely reach their destination, is the wish of
their many friends.
Arrest and Escape.
We are reliably informed that George Rey
nolds. sheriff of Telfair county, last week ar
rested A. L. Hatton, the defaulting tax collec
tor of Telfair county, under a warrart against
him for embezzlement of public funds. Hat
ton requested the sheriff to let him return to
his house to get his clothes. They went to the
house, the sheriff and his deputy Ed Mcßae
waiting at the gate. Hatton staying longer
than was necessary, the sheriff sent the deputy
around the house, where Hatton was discov
ered leaving with a gun. The deputy called
to the sheriff, and as he did so Polk and Mark,
brothers of A. L. Hatton, rose up with their
double-barreled guns, and warned the officers
not to pursue him. The sheriff and his depu
ty retired, and Hatton made good his escape.
We understand that warrants have been issued
against Polk and Mark Hatton for obstructing
legal process, and that the sheriff will gather
a posse comitatus aud will make another effort
to capture the fugitive and his brothers.
Laurens County Do^ts.
/
A friend from Laurens county writes us:—
Quite a revival has been goin;? on at Donal
sou’s Sohool House, conducted by Rev. J. T.
Kincheon, sr. Eight were baptized on Sun
day last.
Also, another at Mt. Carmel* Church, con
ducted by the pastor, Rev. C, B. Smith Five
have been added up Jto this this time. This
meeting will probably continue the remainder
of the w eek.
Sheriff’s Sale.
Sheriff’s Sale on Tuesday last was rather
thinly attended, but the aVererage price paid
for laud being a little more than s4l per lot
for tax titles with all the privileges of redemp
tion, etc,, we think speaks well for those who
did attend.
The following were the lots sold, making in
all tweuty-one: numbers 203, 209, 2G4, 285,
288, 298, 314 in the 13th district; numbers 93,
125, 127, 184 in the 11th district; numbers 61,
92, 96, 105, 108, 317, 319 in the 15th district;
number 108 in the 19th district; numbers 54,
77 iu the 20th district. The total amount of
the Wild Land sales was $863.25.
Hon. W. T. McArthurjbought ten of these
lots; Ur. J. M. Buchan, seven; W. W. Ash
burn, three; and T. J. Dempsey, one.
Proceedings of the Union Quar
terly Singing Convention
Held at Mt. Church, Laurens county, July
27th, 1878.
The convention was called to order by the
President, and on motion a committee consist

J. I. D. Miller, was appointed and reported
the names of George Witherington, J. Wither
ington and T. F. Thompson as leaders to con
duct the musical exercises at this meeting of
the convention.
A committee of five, consisting of W. E.
Duncan, C. C. Hosford, A. L. Hobbs, D. J,
Dorsey and T. F. Thompson, was appointed
to draft a constitution for the government ot
this convention, who, after retiring a short
time, submitted a report, which, alter some
discussion, was unanimously l adopted.
Proceeded to elect officers under the new
constitution just adopted, which resulted iu
the re-election of Rev. J.W. Green, President,
and W. E. Duncan, Secretary.
A committee consisting of W. E. Duncan,

14 on the Macon and Brunswick railroad, shall
be the dividing line between the two districts;

Manual of Georgia.
Prof, Janes, State Commissioner of Agricul
ture, has sent forth another of his valuable
productions with the two-fold object of invit
ing the capitalist aud immigrant. It is a care
fully prepared aud well arranged pamphlet of
119 pages, and can be hatl on application to
Thos. P. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga. Any person enclosing a 3-cent
stamp will receive a copy.
When we consider the extent of country em
bracing these United States, and the numer
ous letters of Inquiry received at the Depart
ment of Agriculture from parties North, East
and West, seeking homes in. par sunny clime,
we are led to ask if the information prepared
aud arranged is not exaggeration. A careful
perusal of this Manual of Georgia justifies us
in saying that the information of which it
treats is as correct as it is possible for the de
partment to give. We believe the county sta
tistics to be found iu this volume are correct,
and will undertake to speak for two, our own
and our sister county of Laurens, and in order
that our readers may know tho truth whereof
we speak we copy what the book says.

The Social Reading Club.
The meeting of this club was held at the
residence of Major Armstrong on Friday even
ing and w’ith unabated interest. The attend
ance was good. The Weekly Chronicle was
ably conducted by W . W. Humphreys, Esq.,
and Miss Bertha Mooney. The selection were
good and well read. The presence of four
attractive and fascinating young lady visitors
to our towui, w’as an additional charm to this
evening’s entertainment. Miss Materne fa
vored the dub with several pieces of music
during the evening. Mrs. Armstrong had
provided a fine lot of fruit, such as watermel
ons, musk melons, figs, grapes and peaches,
of which all partook and enjoyed to their ut
most capacity. The young people (that means
all of us) enjoyed the social games suggested
by the committee on amusements.
The meeting to-morrow evening will be held
at Mrs. Herrman’s, commencing at the usual
hour'
Horse Thief Captured.
We learu through Mr. Harlow Clark that
one Ben Harrelson stole a horse from Mrs.
Keen of Laurens county on the night ot the
31st ult. He was pursued by C. M. Clark and
Mr. Kincheon, and captured in \Vortk county
with the horse on Sunday morning last. They
were brought back and the young thief will
doubtless find his way to some convict camps.
Great credit is due to .Messrs. Clark aud Kin
cheon for their persistency in ferreting out
and capturing this thief.
Darling-, Listen to my Story.
Certainly, she will, if it is the “Old, Old

named above, and thus gracefully hint your
intentions. There never w'as a prettier song
written and singers are wild over it. Over 3000
copies sold iu one week. For Piano or Organ

FROM LAIIIENS COUNTV.
Rain Crops Fodder Pulling,
Etc.— More About tlie Horse
Theft.
We are in receipt of a private letter from
the lower edge of Laurens county, which says:
“We had splendid rains in this section on
Sunday night—the first in some time. Fall
crops were suffering badly. Cotton seriously
damaged by rust and drouth. Some of us are
through with fodder pulling. John Burch
with three bands, housed 6,000 pounds
of fodder, with 1200 or 1500 pounds pulled
down and hanging on the stalks, killed 14
opossums, one alligator, caught quantities of
fish, and this all done from Monday morning
till Friday night. How is this for high?”
Our correspondent then concludes his letter
with an account of the horse theft which we
have mentioned elsewhere, and winds up by
saying: “C. M. Clark and Everett Kincheon
returned last night with Ben Harrelson, the
h rrse thief. They caught him with the mare
about lorty miles below Abbeville. I saw the
prisoner Monday night; he says himself he is
good for the chain gang, and tells all about
how he managed to get the mare fiom Mrs.
Keen’s lot, and the bridle from A. L. Burch's.
He wall be carried to Dublin jail to-day (Tues
day) to await his trial.”
Another Literary Club.
Mr. Editor:—We, of the unpretendiug vil
lage of Chauncey, are trying to keep step with
the world in the grand march of civilization.
We claim originality in but. few things, but we
are not slow to appreciate the good and useful
wherever we find it and appropriate it to our
own progress. We established the first per
manent telephonic line in our State, but we
made no boast of it. We are not behind in
industries and manufactures. We have two
churches and a flourishing school. And re
cently having heard that the pleasant sociali
ties and general culture of other communities
have been enhanced by literary clubs, we re
selved to organize one for our pleasure and
profit— and we didjt!
In response to a suggestion of Miss Eliza
Harrison, quite a number of our citizens- met
at the home of Mr. A. Curry on last Friday
evening for the purpose ot organizing a litera
ry or reading club. Rev. Mr. Whiting was
requested to occupy the chair pro tern. In the
constitution of the club, we followed the mod
els of others that Lave been successful. East
man will feel secretly gratified (though she
will deny it), to learn that we adopted every 7
feature ot her Social Reading Club. We will
have a paper, named, for the pres> at. “The
Chauncey Seutmel.” So, then, Dodg<. county
supports a “Chronicle and Sentinel.” (Augus
ta need not put on airs—we had no reference
to her ancient journal.) We will meet weekly
at the homes of our citizens. The officers of
the club are elected quarterly—Dr. J. W. Tucker
is first President, and Mr. Geo. P. .Bussey 7 ,
Secretary 7 . The members, though conscious
of inability 7 to do great things, yet seem dis
posed to do their best. We had this fairly
"ted at oui first meeting. Eight were ap
led to participate in the exercises of the
. ( meeting, and not one declined or sought
We saw certain cheeks red
■ rflier signs of embarrassment. At
J Fusion ot the business, a young lady
C Wpcstod to sing a little song. An cm-
negative was the impulsive response.
Being reminded that such must not be the
spirit of the sang the piece with
the assistance of others. This meeting A the
club was most delightful. Every one was
gratified at the number out, and the spirit
manifested. We meet next week at the home
of Mr. W. K. Bussey. W. M. E,
Chauncey, Ga., July 28, 1878.

Liver is King 1 .
The Liver is the imperial organ of the whole
human system, as it controls the life, health
and happiness of man. jj*-When it is disturbed
in its proper action, all kinds of ailments are
the natural result. The digestion of food, the
movements of the heart and blood, the act’on
ot the brain and nervous system, are all im
mediately connected with tire workings of the
Liver. It has been successfully proved that '
Green’s August Flower is unequalled in curing
all persons affiicted 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
Western Continent. Three doses will prove
that it is just what you want.
For Rent.

Our Coclu-an Department.
WILBUR F. KELSET> Editor,
Valedictory.
Five weeks ago to-day we saluted yon ns
editor of this department in the Times, to-day
we bid you adieu. Our relation with the
Times has been very pleasant indeed, and
would be continued were not the circumstances
su> h that we deem it not advisable to do so.
At the time this department was established,
there was no paper published in our town;
since then, Mr. Ed. T. Lying ton has com
menced the publication of the Cochran Obser
ver, and therefore we yield the local items to
him and 1:1s paper. It is, therefore, for this
reason alone that we have thought best to re
linquish this department in the Times. But
while w 7 e are no more editor, yet we hope oc
casionally to appear belore you as communi
cant, whenever we feel that there is anything
that we can say m that way which will be of
any good to the paper or its readers. We love
this paper and its readers, and while we are
glad, yet we are sorry that our pleasant con
nexion with this paper must cease. We have
the interest both of the country and the people
of this entire section at heart, ami whenever
we can say a word that is of good we shall do
so. We are proud of this section of country,
of its people, of its advantages, etc., and we
wish to induce all we can to come and c-ist
their lot iu our midst, and they shall not be
sorry, for surely this is the best country in the
world, the land of “milk and honey,’ the land
of plenty aud prosperity. Come one, come
all, see and believe. For ourself, and for the
people of Cochran, we tender our sincere
thanks to the proprietor the Times for help
ing us when c had no way of helping our
selves, for being so kind as to give us a de
partment in his paper when we had no paper
of our own, and we thank him for his univer
sal courtesy shown us while sub-editor. We
hope the people of this section will remember
this, and will continue to patronize the Times.
We heartily commend the Eastman Times to
all who desire a first-class w 7 etkly newspaper,
as one ot the best in the country. It is a pa
per which shoitld be had iu every family, as it
is truly a paper for tbe people. Now, in con
clusion, will say that we are a friend to the
Times, we ate a friend to its editor, and we
incerely wish both him and the Times the
most abundant good luck and prosperity.
Very respectfully,
WILBUR F. KELSEY.
