Hawkinsville January 6,1870
®y Denis W. D. Boully.
From our Extra,-UOtli ult.
Mt'RDKREI*. —Mr. ®BB. Lc«, *loil»g
business in Cochran, was killed in
that place last Saturday night. Ho
was behind his counter, selling goods,
•when some unknown person outside,
shot him through the open door,
lodging a load of buckshot in his
breast. He fell back, and died in
stantly. Mr. Lee was a clever man,
is not known to have had an enemy,
and no motive is assigned for the
deed; nor is there any clue to the
murderer. It was one of the most
cold-blooded crimes we ever heard of.
Mr. Lee was a good Mason, aud was
buried by the fraternity, in our ceme
tery, with Masonic honors.
A party just from Cochran informs
us that Mr. Raiford was shot at in
his house last Monday night. We
hope the Masons and the citizens of
Cochran will unite in offering a lib
•eral reward for the arrest of the
guilty party, that he may be brought
to. justice.
Drowned.— Mr. John Evans was
drowned in the river last Thursday
night. It is thought, that in attempt
ing to cross iiis horse and buggy in
the tint by himself, the rope threw
.him into the river. The flat was
gone on Friday morning, aud, when
■recovered, the horse and buggy were
there, but Mr. E. was missing. Some
think that he jumped out after the
flat got loose, intending to swim
ashore, and got drowned. A search
has been made for the body, but it
had not been recovered at the time of
this writing.
Ins Bio Circus is Cominu —A
•new .pictorial advertisement in our
paper will convey the information
■that the great circus of Stone & Mur
ray will exhibit in Hawkinsville on
Wednesday, Jan. 12th. This popular
.circus is one of the largest and most
•complete traveling exhibitions in the
world, aud has won a nationnl fame
for giving excellent performances.
The press of the South has, this win
ter, bestowed a very liberal amount
•of praise upon the artists of this cir
cus, and tlie general opinion is that
Stone & Murray have a company that
is above being excelled. The Atlanta
Constitution of Dec. Ist says:
It is a pleasure to record the fact
that Stone & Murray’s circus is, by
far, the finest that ever exhibited in
this city. The entertainments arc re
markable not only for their novelty,
luit for their great elegance, and the
■ exhibitions in Atlanta gave universal
; satisfaction.
jggT" Some fifty people, residents
•of this place and vicinity, left on the j
train, last Tuesday morning, bound
for Texas. It reminded us of war
times, to see the crowd congregated
at the depot to see them off. Capt.
McDutliic and family, and Mr. Arnold
and family, were of the number. IV e
wish them all success, but think some
of them will yet be glad to get back
to old Georgia.
Cotton Market. —As will be ob
served, by reference to our weekly
statement, the price of the Btaple has
inclined upwards, the past week.
Below will be found the shipments by
railroad and receipts at the ware
house for the last two weeks:
Shipments to date by railroad 409 bales
Receipts to date at warehouse 4.12 “
Total receipts .S4I
Turk* Dollars, —Finding that it
does not pay us to publish a paper at
So dollars a year, we have put it
ck to the old price—three dollars.
Wc regret not doing this at the start,
as wc found out last year, to our cost,
that a paper cannot now be published
at the same price that it was before
the war. Hereafter, no new names
trill be entered on our book on credit.
Agents. —We have discontinued
•the systetn<of furnishing papers free
On agents, as .wc find It ■ unprofitable.
Any one souding us six names and
the cash, will l>e entitled to a copy of
the paper one year; or any one send
ing u# six names with the money,
•who has already paid for his paper,
can have his money returned.
Left Oct. —Owing to the uncere
monious departure of our printer, and
the absence of our “ devil,” (He work
of three men has devolved upon our
shoulders. This necessitates us to
omit much interesting reading matter.
In fact, bad we not ourself been a
printer, we could not have got out a
paper at mil.
Pay Up The time of a majority .
of our subscribers expired with the J
last number. Those who intend to
continue the paper .(and we trust all
do), will oblige by handing in their
names and the umucy at once, as we
intend running a close cash schedule j
for the future. The papers of all #h<»
do not pay up within the next few
days will lie discontinued.
gCgjf A letter was received at a
certain post-office, bearing the follow
ing iuscription:

After a good deal of study, one of
the clerks managed to make out that
it was intended for A. Underhill, An
dover, Massachusetts.
fjsf m The Hawkinsville Dispatch
informs us that D. W. D. Boully, its
editor, wus the first editor who rode
over the Macon k Brunswick Rail
road.
Hurrah for Boully! You inusn’t
get proud, Brother Boully, and you
must still let your children play with
other children, as usual. —Rome Cou
rier.
Atlanta Express —We have re
ceived several copies of anew evening
paper hearing the above title, and
hailing from A tliuita. Though small,
it is both spirited and spicy, and we
wish it great success. It is mailed to
subscribers at the low price of four
dollars a year.
Cure for Corns It is said that
corns can be cured by bathing the
feet well in tepid water first; then
pare them ofT closely; then rub them
well with green peach-tree leaves;
when, after rubbing once or twice a
day, the corns will disappear.
JjgF" Grady’s circus was here yes
terday, and it was such an “old-fash
ioned ” concern that the proprietor
did not think it worth while to offer
us any complimentary tickets. Wc
hear that it was the poorest show that
has been here since the war.
The holidays passed off quietly
in Hawkinsville. The f dmen have
about all hired out. The weather was
cold and disagreeable for the greater
part of the time. It has since mod
erated, and is now quite pleasant.
IST Our printer, B. T. King, sud
denly and mysteriously left us last
Monday morning. After coming to
the office from breakfast, he stepped
but, since which time nothing has
been seen or heard of him.

Lost Cow. —One of our cows has strayed |
off. (She is a-.potted cow, live or six years
old, and marked wilh the mark of Mr. R.
T. Coley, of Dooly county. We think she i
now has u young calf. Any one bringing j
her to ns, or informing us of her where- I
ahonts, will lie suitably rewarded.
A Concert. — Won’t the voting la
die* and gentlemen of Hawkinsville;
go to work and get up a concert ?
Wc arc satisfied they will succeed, if
they will only try. Start the ball.
Re-elected —The old Mayor and
Commissioners were re-elected on last
Saturday. Wc arc glad of this, as
we do not think a better Board could
have been chosen.
