Wa)“We had two fights at Union Point one day last week, aud it was not a very good day for fights cither. Itg-The coffers of the Justice Court at Union Point yyero strengthened to the tune of twelve of fifteen dollars one day last week, by the Gypsies. Cause —S general melee among themselves. £feß“At the close of the meeting of the Grange, at Union Point, this week, Col. Hart invited a uurnber of gentlemen to look at his Ku-Klux corn. They were delighted with it, and pronounced it almost a prodigy in the way of a cereal. Col. 11. will gather it in eight or ten days, and would be glad to show it to all his friends before he does so. Our word for it, you will be interested if you see it. tar a negro girl tried last week to make Jim Hurt, a festive youth of the colored persuasion, father her little ginger-cake baby. But Jim couldn't see it that way, neither did Justice O'Neal. Hence she keeps her baby and Jim keeps on the even tenor of his way, and that way is dark and leads to some new temptation. If all such cases, among this class, are t,o be brought into the courts, they will be interminable, aij.d hold forever. Law officers wanting regular and constant busipess tyill please make a note. |®“Our colored friends seem to have the gift of continuance (.o an un reasonable degree in their religious meetings. It is a common practice for them to hold till twelve,one, and some times till two and three o’clock iu the morning. They disturb everybody liv ing near them, and on their line of inarch home, by tjieir boisterous talk ing and laughing, and an occasional pistol shot. The night was made for rest and recuperation, and not to be spent i.n revelry of any kind. They unfit themselv.ea for work by this nightly hurrah, and encourage had habits in vhe bargain. We think a law to put people to bed at a reasonable hour would be a good one. One at least, that would close all public meet ings at a proper hour. A Rood Place to Get a Wife. We have just footed up the number of marriageable ladies and gentlemen at Union Point, and find the count to stand : Ladfeg, 21; gentlemen, Is. Our ladies are handsome and intelli gent. Ctw make the beds, can make the biscuit, ean make a suit of clothes, and, upou a pinch can make a fuss. They set their faces resolutely against tie backs. Mtul have never been known to resort ,to them, except when tljeir sweethearts grew dull and fell asleep. Then they tied them back to the sofa or chair backs. tribute: yr unsi'ik iv At a meeting of Union Point Lodge, No- 319, I. O. G. TANARUS., the following preamble and resolutions were unani mously adopted : Whereas, It hath pleased God in His infinite wisdopt and power to take from our midst our feqloyed Sister, Mrs. L. A. Dilworth, in whose charac ter aod life were happily blended love, purity and true Christian piety,; whose example and influence was for good, shedding a halo of radiance upon all arcund lu re . therefore, be it Resolved, That while we bow in humblc.submission to His will, yet we feel that in the death of our Sister, this .lodge and community have sus tained an irreparable loss. Resolved, That we tender the be reaved family our most heartfelt sym pathies in this Hour of their great affliction. Resolved, That in respect to the memory of the deceased these proceed ings be spread upon the minutes of our Order, and that our regidi? be draped in mourning for the space of twenty days. Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the Greenesboro’ Herald and Home Journal, and that a copy be ,ent to the bereaved family. C. W. Medlin, W. E. Reynolds, S. J. Harwell, Mrs. E. E. Wilson, Miss Emma Hart, Miss M. P. McLaughlin, Committee. A Hard Thins to Do. This thing of direct personal acknowledgments to one whom we have aggrieved or injured, is perhaps one of the hardest things we ever have to do. It is contrary to our human na ture, and galling fo our pride. We feel that it is humiliating to our man hood, aud cowardly before the world. The very reverse is true, if we could only see it and feel it. It is manly to ask forgiveness when wo have injured any one, and manly to forgive when asked. But it is nearly always the casj that we try to justify ourselves in what we do, and in fryiug to do so, what do we do ? Do we not often, very oftep, evade the truth, pod put a color on opr actions 'hat does not be long to them? Do we Bt;ite the facts in the case fully, even to our oyvn consciences? Do we not even deceive ourselves many times? It iseowardly to be ashamed to acknowledge a wrong. This unwillingness fo acknowledge, makes more difficulties and keeps them alive more than any one thing, or all things put together. If we only had the manhood,when we 40 wrong to say so, we would save a world of trouble, and make a great deal of happiness to ourselves and fellow-men. It would make truth so easy to speak, and put such an air of simplicity and confidence between man and man. that it would he beautiful to behold. Then why not try to cultivatea disposition to acknowl edge when we do wrong? CLOSING OUT BY THE ASSIGNEES OF C. G. GOODRICH, AT AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
