ANNIVERSARY.
Twelve months have conic and gone
•since our first appearance in journal
ism. On the 11th day of October
last—one year ago to-morrow—we is
sued our first paper. The circumstan
ces that then surrounded us is wjcll
known to many of our readers, and to
recount their anxieties, perplexities
and embarrassments is not specially
our purpose-hero, hut more particular
ly to glance at the brighter side o( the
pictnro.
Wc had but ajsmall subscription list
to begin with ; this, however, v/as
largely supplemented by enrolling
thereon the names of many friends
whom we felt assured would welcome
our paper to their homes and firesides.
Time has proved that we made few if any
mistakes in so doing, for many of these
have already paid us the subscription
price, and otherwise aided and en
couraged us in our new enterprise ;
others, no doubt, will do so when time
and opportunity will allow us to cal]
on them—quite a number of whom
we have not seen within the time.
Our circulation hasjtQw more than
quadrupled itself, since the first month
or two, and about doubled itself with
in tho last six months —the dullest sea
son of the year.
We have worked earnestly and faith
fully to build up iu our young and
growing town a paper commensurate
with the wants and necessities of this
section. llow far we have succeeded,
wo leave for bur friends and a gener
ous public to answer,
Tho press lias been uniformly kind
and courteous, and we thank them for
the many encouraging words and
cheering sentiments they have from
lime to time seen fit to bestow upon
our efforts.
It lias been our purpose thus far, and
shall continue to be, to present in a
fair way the various political issues
agitating the country, but more espe
cially to enhance the material growth
and prosperity of our section, and to
keep our readers posted in the general
and local events of the day.
During tho fall and winter we hope
to largely increase our circulation,
and would ask our friends everywhere
to aid us in this work, and thereby
increase our facilities for making the
Times strictly a first-class weekly.
OUR PROGRESS.
An examination of the tax digests of
the county of Dodge shows the follow
ing aggregates of our taxable proper
ty for the years named :
AGGREGATE VALUE OF WHOLE PROPERTY.
1871 $310,941
18T2 213,729
J 873 536,202
1874 504,119
1875 584,403
1816 ' 617,372
1817 617,610
1878 701,981
From the foregoing it will be seen
that our wealth has doubled itself in
six years, and that within the last year
there is an increase of nearly one hun
dred thousand dollais. It is cause for
granulation to see such evidence of
our prosperity. By a natural course
of reasoning we are led to expect that
in a lew years we will overtake our
more favored sister counties on tho
inarch of progress. A natural inquiry
will be, to what is it attributable? In
answer we say, to the development of
our resources as a “wire grass” coun
ty. A large importation of fine stock,
sheep and cattle for which the range
is unsurpassed, an increase ofourpoo
ulation and consequent increase of our
arable land, our timber and naval
stores, all unite in making us the first
ot the wire grass counties in point of
progress, health, climate, soil, range,
energy and enterprise. To the immi
grant no fairer field invites him than
ours ; a splendid combination of ad
vantages, natural and social, surround
us, and all that is needed to secure suc
cess is indus* y.
To the invalid we offer a balmy, de*
licious and wholesome air—a climate
which has been denominated “The Ita
ly of the South;’' most excellent hotel
accommo lations and a cultivated son
ciety.
Can anything be more auspicious for
us? With the experience of the past
before us, wo ought to profit by our
advantages. Let us be up and doing*
and all uuite in an earnest effort to
promote our cause. Let our county
go onward in her prosperous career,
propelled by an enlightened and pro
gressive administration of our county
affairs.
Our Relations with Mexico.
During the celebration of Mexican
independence day in the National The
atre in the City of Mexico, September
15, an orator made discourteous re
marks aboct the United States, which
part of the audience applauded. A
sensational report got abroad that
United States Minist *r Foster, who
was present, would demand Jis pass
ports, which was absurd. The leading
newspapers co idemned tho speech as
foolish. The reception of Sen or Zam
acona, Mexican Minister to AVashing
ton, in Ins tour in the Western States,
lias made a most favorable impression
and Mexican merchants are enthusiast*
lically in favor of entering into closer
relations with the United States.
The Massachusetts Republican State
Committee have addressed the follow
ing circular to clergymen throughout
the State :
“In order to enable us to distribute
documents effectively, will you kindly
furnish us immediately with a list of
the male members of your church and
parish, and with such other names as
you may deem expedient. By so doing
you will aid us in saving the honor of
our commonwealth.’*
Most people will agree with the
Bridgeport Farmer that further com
ment than that the Republicans seem
desirous of degrading the clerical pro
fession, is superfluous.

BILL ARP’S SUNDAY CHAT.
He Goes to iv Luster Barbecue.
From Tho Constitution.
I feel better. Eve been down to Sil
ver creek to the great democratic ju
bilee, and Eve heard Gen. Gordon aud
Luster and Akin and Col. Herndon of
Mobile, and old Father Rambo, and I
have talked to the boys and eat sheep
meat, and chicken, aud pies, and jell}’,
and baked apples with the ladies, and
I feel like lean live a year ar two lon
ger, and I want to tell you its all right
—Luster is elected shore. There aint
no doubt about, and you can bet just
as many hats as you please. Eil put
up ten bushels of gourd seed corn with
any body and I daro cm to take the
bet.
You see I was a gittin sorter lones
some in my digging, politically lone
some. My nabors is clever and civil
and obliging, and all that, but when I
hint politics to cm they dont seem to
know that Luster is a running. I didnt
understand it for a long time, but it
leaked out lately that most of era have
put in claims against Sherman fortak
in their truck, and they think the par
son has mighty nigh got his paws on
the money. That's what the matter,
and its r.o use talkin Luster to em now.
But they are all clever, and when I
axed cm over to my Luster corushuek
iu they promised to come, and Airs.
Arp has been a cooking tor em all day'
and we are goin to have a ivhule dead
pig and a bushel of tateis aud a bush
el of biskits and some fried pies and
coffee And all sich, and the old time
darkeys are goiu to sing aud tote me
round the corn pile like they used to
do, aud then Urn gwine make cm a lit
tle Luster speech and talk kindly and
hurt no feelings, and tlm next week
old Pecker wood is to have a Felton
shuckin and a Felton speech) and no
body is to git macf, for the old man
says it is mighty wrong to let politics
break up the peace of a neighborhood.
All thats very good, and I wish every
body was as clever as Pecker wood,
but you See no one hollers hurrah lor
Luster around me, and the other day
a b:g man with blue clothes on come
dashing down the hill drivin a mule
and the male stopped suddenly in my
branch to drink and liked to have put
him over the dashboard, and he larrup
ed him with a thrash pole and hollered
out, “git a\yay from here you durned
old sen of a gun, I tried to get you to
drink back yonder at Felton's branch
and you wouldn't, and now you shant
drink any of Bill Arp's water, you
darned old Luster cuss—git away from
here I sa}'/' and he whaled him all the
way up the hill, and the licks sounded
like claps of young thunder. The like
of this was a preyin on my feelins and
so when I heard ot the big jubilee at
Silver creek I picked up and went and
I feel like anew man and Fve assoom
ed a fitting attitude* and if another man
comes along and wont let a Luster
mule drink water out of my branch I
will attack him headforemost on the
highway and I’ll rock with rotten ap
ples, and if he gets out of his buggy
I*ll set two Luster dogs on him. See
if I don't. I have heard Gen. Gordon
tell all about the rottenness and mean
ness of these independent candidates
and their radical allies, and Pm not
goiu to take nothin more from none ot
cm—would you ? You see the supreme
court has decided that the road over
my laud is my road, and the public have
the right to pass over if, aud nothing
more, and they must do it in a civil and
peaceable maimer, and not stop to in
sult anybody. I had rather be a Lus
ter mule than some Felton men I kuow
anyhow—-wouldn’t you ?
Well, we bad a galoricms time at
Silver creek; I tell you everybody was
happy. People was there from FI >yd
and Polk, and Ufartow and Gordon and
Chatooga, and Newt Tumlin was there
too. I axed him how many people was
on the ground; he sed he had counted
upjjto 7,912, and quit before lie was
half done, and they kept a comm in a
long time afterwards. Newt is relia
ble in figers, you know, and Pm satis
fied myself there was something uu ler
20,000. All the Felton men turned
over in a body, and come and shook
bands with Gordon and Lester, except
three and they bad claims agin the
government.
Oh, I tell you we had a lovefeast in
that beautiful grove, for we were on
consecrated ground. Bright waters
flowed gently around a horse-shoe bend
—gushing springs came from rock
banks A venerable chapel stood near
by that wasn't kept closed for want of
a preacher. Abounding shade shelter
ed us from the burning sun and the
yeomanry of the land flocked in from
the hills and the valleys to drink in
wisdom and truth, as ft fell from the
eloquent lips of great and good men.
Men, women and children gathered
around our battle-marked veterans and
fed their hearts on words of honey and
looks of sugar, like the Episcopalians
do their bishops when they come to
see them. Oh, I wish I was a bishop—
nothin to do but travel round on a free
pass and be worshipped by every flock
he comes to, and live on chicken, and
turkey, and jelly, and jam, and peach
preserves, and all of them good things
thats been put away on tbe shelf a
waiting for him ; no bank notes to
meet, uor sick mules, nor rotten corn,
nor weevily wheat—no nothin to both
er a man, except now aud then an un
rooly quire that sings when a fit takes
era, and wont when it dont.
Well, it dun me good to mix with mi
old fiiends, to feel the honest squeeze
of their hands, to hear the words o 1
cheer and coming victory ; to feel the
turkey bumps rise on my spinal col
umn as our heroes get eloquent aud
lifted our souls away up in the stars.
I dont cry as easy as I used to by a
good deal, but when my heart was
swellin up and sumthin kept risin up
in choke pipe, I looked over at Green
Foster and Gen. Black, and tears as
big as cotv peas was a rollin down their
sunburnt cheeks, and then you see I
collapsed. Well I love to weep senti
ments. Dont you? dont everybody ?
The tears that are hid away back
ought to aired occasionally—just to
keep the fountain from dry in up But
we are all right, and don't you let out
people worry, for neittffer Toombs nor
Wright, nor Stepheus nor any other
man can save the parson from General
Gordon’s sledge-hammer, I believe
if he had heard his own condemnation
fur t ryin to break up the party, he’d
have throw'd up his hand and retired
—and maybe he’d quit repeatiu them
slanders on our George. But Luster
says he wouldn't ; that he keeps at it,
and lias got a cheek that puts to shame
the button-cut of original sin. Yours,
Bill Arp.
E. S.—Gen Black told me that if I
wanted to get lid of the screech owls
to put the shovel in the fire when one
of them was a screech in and fie would
leave forthwith. The General said the
fire contracted with the oxide in the
iron and delaminated an odoriferous
that Was disagreeable to the delicate
oilfaetdries of the bird. Jesso! Well
I tided if- fiud it didn't leave worth a
cent. Judge Underwood laughed ut
the General and the General said—
“Nevermind, John, I’ll bet you've got
a buckeye in your right pocket now/
and share enough the Judge had
one. B. A.
N. B.—Consider my situation, I
respectfully ax, for the prayers of the
organized for me and rny folks and all
Luster males that want to drink at
my branch. B. A.
GRAPPLING A GRIZZLY.
Terrific Battle Between Man
a(l Beast.
Calaveras Chronicle,
On Thursday of last week, Mr. Na
than Rogers, who owns and lives upon
a ranphe in the mountain, about nine
miles above West Point, near the North
fork of the Moljelumne, bad the most
terrific encounter with a grizzly we ev
er heard or read of. The details of the
occurrence, as narrated to us, are as
follows :
Gray squirrels are quite plentiful in
that vicinity this season, and after din
ner, Thursday, Mr. Rogers went out
for an afternoon's sport shooting them.
He was armed with a light rifle, and
fortunately had upon his person a very
large knife, which he occasionally car
ries. Grizzlies are no strangers in the
vicinity, and Rogers had frequently
seen their trucks while hunting his
stock; but as it was yet too early for
ravenous beasts to be driven out of the
higher mountain ranges by the snow,
he felt no apprehension from that
source. Mr. Rogers proceeded leis
urely along, meeting with such good
success in gunning, that by 4 o’clock
his game sack was well filled, and he
was a couple of miles from home,
termined to retrace his steps. In leavN
ing the timbered ridge upon which lie
had been shooting, Rogers had to cross
a patch of comparatively open country
—the only growth it supported being
a species of furze and an occasional
bunch of cbapparal. lie had gone but
a short distance, when in descending
into a blind ravine, he came up
on a
HUGE GRIZZLY
feeding on the carcass of a sheep. It is
needless to add that he did not pro
ceed any further in that direction Tiie
bear was riot over twenty feet distant
—a space Rogers had not the remotest
idea to dimmish. Man and beast dis
covered each other's presence at the
same instant. Rogers is a bold, reso
lute man, a splendid marksman, and
well inured to the dangers and expe
riences of backwoods life ; but, as with
a full knowledge of the characteristics
of the ferocious animal facing him, ire
realized his situation, hope died away
in his breast. For a moment he stood
irresolute. His first impulse was to
run ; but bis better judgment told him
that if he did so, and should be pursued
by the grizzly, escape would be impos
sible, and that he would be taken at a
disadvantage in the struggle which
must inevitably follow. Dreadful as
was tbe alternative of boldly facing
his terrible enemy, it was his only hope
and Rogers firmly resolved to stand
his ground, and if the worst came to
the worst, to at least sell his life as
dearly as possible. There was a chance
that the grizzly might not attack him
if he retained a bold attitude, but
whatever hopes Rogers builded upon
that foundation were speedily dispelled
by the bear giving alow growl, drop
ping his mutton aud advancing toward
him.
Tne hunter's heart leaped to his
throat, as the threatening struggle be
came an unavoidable certainty, and
the agonizing thought that its result
might leave his wife a widow and his
children fatherless, nearly unmanned
him. The weakness was but momen
tary, aud with every muscle and nerve
in his body drawn to their utmost ten
sion, the man
AWAITED THE OXSET
of the beast with as much coolness as
though his life were not the stake in
the unequal contest. As the grizzly
slowly towards him and got within a
distance of about fifteen steps, Rogers
drew his rifle to his shoulder, and with
a steady aim planted a bullet in the
bear's breast, just inside the point of
the right shoulder. The animal was
hit hard, but no sixty-to-the-pound
bullet ever stopped a grizzly. With
a growl so ferocious that it resembled
a roar, the infuriated animal rushed to
the attack. Throwing aside the now
useless rifle, and drawing bis kuife,
Rogers braced himself for the death
struggle. As the shaggy monster rear
ed upon his haunches, its great black
convex head towering two leet above
Rogers, the latter involuntarily threw
up his left arm like a pugilist on guard.
The beat seized the a.m in its mouth,
aud throwing its great paws over the
shoulders of the hunter, hugged him
in an einbiaee so cruel that his eyes
seemed starting from their soi ke's,and
the blood pushed from Ids
Rogers' right arm was and he
drove the long, keen blade ot his knife
to the hilt in the side of the grizzly (
close to the shoulder. The blade reach
ed a vital point,inflicting a fatal wound,
but its immediate effect was only to
increase the grizzly's ferocity. It hug
ged Rogers tho its
LQNG, SHARP CLAWS
tearing gaping wounds in the unfortu
nate man's back, while with a sicken
ing sound, the bnnes of his left arm
were crunched and ground to powder
in the vise like jaws of Ins terrible an
tagonist. Wild with the agony of his
wounds, Rogers plied his knife with
the euergy of desperation, driving it
again and again into the very vitals of
the bear, literally carving it
while the latter with claws and teeth,
lacerated its human foe in the most
frightful manner. It was indeed a
struggle to death. Rogers, weak from
the loss of blood and half delirious with
pain, now fought more*from intuition
than anything else, having only a vague
consciousness that his life depended
upon putting an end to that of the ani
mal. The terrible wounds of the griz
zly were also commencing to tell upon
its vitality. Rogers' senses were not so
dulled but that be could distinguish
that the grizzly was gradually relaxing
bis hold, and the ray of hope the knowl
edge afforded stimulated him to re**
newed exertions with his knife. The
bear endeavored to support itself de
spite its cruel wounds, wavered for an
instant and then with a low moan, al
most human in its expression of pain
and despair, the huge monster toppled
over, dragging the man with it, the
latter falling partly underneath. Rog
ers plunged his knife into the abdomen
of the grizzly, the
IIOT LIFE BLOOD
and viscera spouting full in his face.—
The bear relinquished its hold and
Rogers, torn, lacerated and bleeding,
crawled far enough away to escape be
ing rent to pieces by the terrible death
struggle of the grizzly.
Although victorious, Rogers' condi
tion was critical in the extreme, lie
was a mile and a half from home, so
weak and faint lie could scarcely stand
and in danger of bleeding to death be
fore be could reach help. Ilis left arm
hung crushed and lifeless at his side,
his left scapula and clavicle were bro
ken, the blood trickled from the terri
ble wound in his and his legs
were literally furrowed by the crooked
claws of the bear’s hind feet. Con
scious that he must soon have help or
perish, he summoned all his resolution
and staggered along in the direction
of home, more dead than alive, a trail
of blood marking his footsteps. lie
managed to reach a spring in sight of
his house, when his endurance at last
gave away and he fell in a
DEAD FAINT
by the edgo. Fortunately he
was discovered soon after by his
a lad of some 12 years, who immedi
ately gave the alarm. lingers was
taken home and his wounds tempora
rily dressed, an express in the mean
time being sent for a physician.
The grizzly was the largest ever
known to have been killed in the coun
try. It measured nine feet in length
“over allj" and weight 1,400 pounds.
The left side of the bear was literally
cut to pieces, there being no less than
twenty-two knife wounds, nearly eve
ery one of which reach a vital point.
One of its fore paws has been sent us,
and some idea of its size can be ob
tained when we state that the foot just
covers the size of an ordinary dinner
plate.
At the present writing (Thursday)
Mr. Rogers is lying in an extremely
critical condition. In addition to his
horrible wounds the shock to his sys
tem was a terrible one. Ilis left arm
literally mangled and torn to shreds,
had been amputated at the shoulder.
Ilis left clavicle and capula were frac
tured and the three lower l ibs on the
right side broken. The flesh and mus
cles of his back are so torn and abrad
ed that the vertebrae are actually visi
ble in many places, while, as stated
before, his lower limbs are literally
seamed and furrowed. Despite his in
juries the attending physician is of the
opinion that Mr. Rogers may recover
if erysipelas does no
