Negeo Shot.— Dr. Mitchell in
forms us that on last Thursday night,
about 10 o’clock, the negro Ander
son Kimbrough, who lay in our jail
last year for six months for stealing
corn, was shot with large shot near
his own house door, on the premi
ses of Judge Spence, near Whites
ville, in this county.
The alarm was given, and Judge
Spence and family were aroused, and
repaired to the scene. They found
Anderson lying on the ground, to
all appearances, dead—with many
shot in the bowels, legs, breast, arms
anteue in the corner of his left eye.
ThaUbck of his gun was shot very
badly—showing that he had his gun
in a flSboting position. His gun was
found to be empty —freshly dis
charged.;, The shoatist is unknown
to any one—suppled to be a negro
man. w
A physican was in Friday
morning, who pronounced his case as
hopeless. Death seemed inevitable.
The families, both white and black,
waited patiently for him to die until
Monday morning, when Dr. Mitchell
was called in, and, after nmdbhard
work and attention, the negroW in a
fair way- recover—in fact, the
ehances seem altogether in bis favor.
His whole rightei<4 is paralyzed
from the shot in the head.
Tableaux and Concert.—Not
withstanding the unfavorable weather,
s4l .80 were realized. We were glad
to learn that every one who atteuded
was delighted, and felt that they had
received the value of their money.
The participants return thanks to
Prof. Chase, and are at all times ready
to testify to their appreciation of his
services. They also feel truly grate
ful to Miss Bettie Bedell. Every one
was delighted with the sweet mel
lowness of her voice. The Enquirer
spoke truthfully when it said, “She
warbled with all the sweetness of a
mocking-bird.”
The ‘song of the old maids’ pleased
every one so much that it w'as re
peated the second time.
Miss Ida Ilunley rendered the
song, “He’s got the money, too,”
beautifully.
Julius was a fraud.
Quiet and Doll.—Everything ev
erywhere is exceedingly quiet and
dull. Farmers to the point
where their crops'do not need 'much
attention. Merchants stand at their
doors casting sly glances at all who
pass, hoping that perhaps they may
have a nickle to spend. Lawyers
start every time they hear any one
speak louder than lisual, hoping a dif
ficulty may arise, of that a difference
of opinion may-grow strong enough
to be settled in the courts.
Clerks are'the only oi.es who look
pleased. They stand round the dodrs
adorning their faces with broad grins,
and only look sour when they sec
someone coming—say Mrs. A., or
Mrs. B.—who look, but never buy.
B3F“ The closing exercises of Mrs,
Mary K, Stevens’ school came off last
Wednesday. We could not be pres
ent in the morning, but learned from
those who were that all the classes
passed a very creditable examination.
Some beautiful compositions were
read—among them one by Miss Fan
nie Mitchell, on music, and one by
Miss Amelia Robinson, —“ Every man
is the architect of his own fortune.”
We were pleased with the speeches
of the little boys, which reflected much
credit upon their teacher for the ex
cellent manner in which they were
delivered.
The exercises closed by some ap
propriate remarks from Capt. Stan
ford and Col. Mobley.
t®“That “pretty straight re
port” that the Columbus Enquirer
got of Maj. Howard’s death, must
have been a ichisky straight.
The Masonic Festival at Kivilen
Lodge, Harris County.
■Editor Hamilton Visitor:
On Saturday morning, the 27th, at
an early hour, the rattling of wheels
and the smack of the whip amid the
sighing of the tall pines, indicated
that “ there is life in the old land
yet;” and in a showtime \large and
respectable crowd dissembled in the
lodge room, church and grove.
We noticed ftbout* a dozen gentle
men from Columbus—Maj. A. R. Cal
houn, Col. Henry Harrison, Messrs,
C. C. McGee,Nathan Crown, Joseph,
jrnd others. ■
After working in the lodge till 12
o’clock, we were called to refresh
ment, andjmrticipated in one of those
dinners that the good
ladies know so well
how It was indeed a feast
for tnWnner man, and if- you doubt
it, cajkkn Maj. Calhoun, and he will
SS J^H C every word as the truth.
B>vcr, the crowd repaired to
Vi and were addressed in a
manner by Capt. L.
Ltanford, Maj. A. R. Calhoun, Dr.
Brewster, Prof. Reeves, and others—
after which the lodge was called on,
and passed Messrs. J, K. Shippy and
James Wadkins.
For social enjoyment and pleasure,
the day will be long remembered.
May we have many such days. They
are inddfed flowers strewn along the
pathway of life to refresh and allure
us from the busy scenes of real ac
tion. g, ,
A Mistake. —The Columbus En
quirer was mistaken in stating that
Mr. Edwards, who lately had his leg
broken in this place, was taken home
by Mr. H. W. Pitts. Mr. S. R. Mur- '
phey was the man that sent him home,
free of charge. Not but what our
friend Pitts would have done as well,
had he been present, for ho has a
large heart.
Must be Paid fob. —No commu
nications recommending parties for
office will be inserted, unless paid for
as advertisements. It would be as
reasonable for a candidate to expect
his merchant to give- him a suit of
clothes, as for him to advocate his
claims through the press without
paying for it. Let all bear this in
mind.
ly A correspondent from Wis
dom’s Store writes us that he killed
a rat, on the 26th measuring sixteen
teen inches in length, notwithstand
ing about two inches of his tail was
gone. We presume the writer thinks
his story will be doubted, as he fails
to sign his name to the communica
tion.
In the list of articles placed
in the cornerstone of the College, as
published in the Columbus Enquirer,
wo find two which were not in our
list. Proceedings of the Grand
Royal Arch Chapter by D. H. Hunt,
High Priest of Schley Chapter, and
a United States coin by Wm. Meling.
Hamilton Ciceronian Society
meets this evening at 7:30.
Subject, Should Georgia engage in
a general system of internal improve
ments?
Blount and Jenkins to lead in the
affirmative; Mobley and Cameron in
the negative. .
Caterpillars. —Some one signing
himself “H. C.”—that’s what we
make out the letters to be—writes
us from Cataula that his cotton crop
is good, with plenty of blooms, and
that he found a stalk, the other day,
that had been eaten up by the cater
pillars.
Several persons have passed
through Hamilton, within the past
few days, on their way to the Warm
Springs —among them, Mr. Epping,
Mrs. Hansard, Miss Hortense Sauls
berry, and Mr. John King.
jsgp’ Mr. John Thornton and Miss
Jennie Oliver were married in Harris
county on the 23d ult.—by whom,
we did not learn.
We acknowledge the receipt of a
portion of the cake.
First btooMS. — The first cotton
bloom we have seen this year was
brought us last Monday by Mr. B.
H. Williams: Mr. J. M. Kimbrough
was on hand with one an hour or
two later.
The Comet. —It is said that the
comet can now be scon with the
naked eye, in the neighborhood of
the North Star. It is difficult to find
when the moon is shining.
Doing Well.— We are glad to
learn from Dr. Mitchell that Mr. Ed
wards is getting along very well, and
that he fully believes bis leg will be
saved.
Goon Rains- —We bad a fine rain
about noon last Sunday, and another
at night, and again on Monday.
