C. 13. Murrell steps to the front this week
with a very attractive advertisement. He
thanks his friends and customers for past ta
vors, and) with hit in hand, makes his best
bow and asks a coutiummce of their patronage,
aiid begs to inform them that he is determined
to sell goods as low down as they can be re
tailed in any market. He has a fine stock of
new goods just received.
W. W. Asliburn is out in an advertisement
this week and tells you that he has extended
his business, and has now and proposes to
keep constantly on hand a well selected stock
of staple dry goods, together with shoes—from
a brogrm to a lady’s fine cloth gaiter—and hits,
in addition to his large stock of Family Gro
ceries. 31r. Ashburn is also one of our lar
gest cotton buyers, having already bought
about 75 bales this season.
Milton Edwards returned to Eastman last
week and is now, not a student at the East

our clever young friend, John Hamilton, be
came so impaired from constant confinement
as clerk in Mi. Coleman's store, that it was
absolutely necessary for him to give up his
position, and John’s place could not be more
worthily filled than it is in Milt.
We learn that tho Twiggs Superior Court
adjourned after a session of only two days, on
accouut of sickness. Also, that tho Grand
Jury Of that county passed resolutions endors
ing Solioito-General Tom Eason, and, like
our own and other counties in the Circuit,
u.ged his re-election. ’This is very compli
mentary to our friend Eason, and we thiiik
will prove a telling argument before the Legis
lature next November in favor of his election.
Shooting Affray at Cliauncey.
News reaches us of a difficulty that occurred
at our sister town Cliauncey, on Saturday hist,
which came very near terminating seriously,
between Ephriam Evans and Lewwis Curry,
in which Evans was shot in the breast, and
also severely cut in the thigh. Curry sus
tained no injury whatever. It is supposed
that the wound on Evans’ thigh Was inflicted
by himself, while trying to open bis knife.
His wounds are not considered dangerous,
though we learu he is suffering greatly. This
was no doubt quite a shock to Ckauncey, as it
is one of the most peaceable and quiet stat'ons

Dodge couuty, arrived in Hawldnsville this
(Wednesday) morning with Jeff Johnson, col
ored, who acknowledges that he fired the shot
into the house of Ah. Geo. P. Woods on the
night of the 4th ult It seems that about a
week after the shooting, Jeff ascertained that
there was a rev ard offered for the perpetrator,
and decided that it would be safer for him to
leave these parts. He went over iuto Dodge
A nd hired himself to 3lr. Hargrove as a cotton
picker. On Tuesday Jeff and other hands on
Mr. Hargrove’s place were relating some of
their “wonderful exploits,” when Jeff related
the circumstance of shooting into 3lr. Woods'

Agricultural Club Meeting.

of this county. These meetings are open aud

Fatal Accident.
We learn from Allen Evers that a little boy
of John Horn, of Pulaski councy, had his
head crushed and was instantly killed on Fri
day last, by the falling of a cart body upon
him. The cart body was standing upon one
end and resting slightly against the fence,
when the weight of the child, who was about
six years of age, in attempting to climb the
body, overturned it, and it fell, striking the
little fellow on the head with the above re
sults.
The Social Reading Club.
Owing to the excessive rain on Friday even
jug last, there was no meeting of the club.
W e are requested to say that the clnb will
meet to-morrow evening at the residence of
W. N. Leitch.
Is it possible that Dodge county is have
no candidates? They are popping up thick
.and fastin other counties, but Nte have beard
of none iu this. Wo.suppose our people are
too modest to be blowing it around even if
they have made up their minds to become can
didates, and we suppose correct enough, too.
Now, if you will just intimate to us what office
you want, we will save you the trouble aud
tell the people about it. Just a V will keep
your name prominently before tho voters of
Dodge till the election is oYer . Remember it
must be Cash in advance.
When in Macon last week, we stopped at
the National Hotel, as is our custom, and
found that it had lost none of its popularity.
This hotel was absolutely thronged with guests
and vet everything moved on with the smooth
ness of the best regulated machinery. There
were over two hundred arrivals on Tuesday of
last week. Col. Corbett knows exactly how to
feed and take care of his guests, and he spares
neither pains nor expense in doing it. When
you visit Macon be sure to stop at the National.
Communicated.
Mr. Edi tor— l regret very much the neces
sity of replying to the communication iu your
last issue from W. B. Thomas. Ido not pro
pose to go into a discussion of the meeting iu
question, but desire to set myself right.
He says, “The chairman very justly decided
that the citizens of Dodge and Montgomery
counties had no right to vote in that meeting;”
and again that, “we called most lustily for the
question;” and again, “besides a delegation
from Dodge and Montgomery counties as
leaders. ”
Now, C. F. Bussey and myself were the
only nien from Montgomery,- county. I went
there on other business, and to see and look
oh,and did not take any part in the proceedings
of the meeting.
I am prepared to say, and I defy anybody
to come and tell me to the contrary, that I
did not vote at that meeting ; that I did not
call for the question at all, and that I was not
a delegate from Montgomery county.
Instead of his giving an exact account of the
meeting, as he set out to do, it is a misrepre
sentation all the wry through.
The first meeting clid not elect any dele
gates, and anybody who knows anything about
parliamentary usage will agree with me.
He says, “some had heard him on the ques
tion before.” Perhaps they did, up at Channcey.
When he says that “Col. Kibbee would belt
Gen. Cook seven to one in Telfaii,” I am not
surprised at his exaggerated statements gen
erally. Yours truly,
A. C. McLennan.

acteristics of the different races, having devo
