Dr, A. A. Smith.
We call the attention of the citi
zens of Hawkinsvlllc and vicinity
to the card of Dr. A. A. Smith, late
of Telfair, who has moved into our
midst and located for the purpose of
practicing his profession. Dr. Smith
is a young man, but not without ex
perience. He is a graduate of the
Savannah Medical College, and at
its last session was awarded the
Highest honors won by any of the
graduates, the prize being a case of
instruments. We remember at the
time making a note of the fact in the
Dispatch. Dr. Smith was for sever
al months employed in the City
Hospital of Savannah, and had ex
cellent facilities for acquiring a
knowledge of the various disease.
Besides these advantages, Dr. Smith
is sober, upright, intelligent, and
of an excellent family. He comes
amongst us to pursue his profession,
and as a worthy gentleman, we hope
to see him win his way, which he
can certainly do on his own merits.
His office is at the law office of Gen.

A Dooly County Negro Con
victed of Forgery.
Joe Woodward, a freedman in the
employ of Mr. Lcory D. Gammage,
ofßooly county, was arretted last
week on a charge of forgery, and
carried before Judge Henry of the
County Court of Pulaski. The evi
dence showed that on the 16th of
March iast Joe appeared at the store
of J. S. Willis, in Hawkinsvillc, and
presented an order for goods. There
was no name signed to the order, but
Joo affirmed that Mr. Gammage
wrote the order. Upon this state
ment Mr. Willis let Joo have goods
to the amount of $8.35. Nothing
transpired to prove that anything
As wrong until lash week, when Mr.
Gammage came to town and was
told of the matter. 110 accordingly
had Judge Henry to issue a warrant
for tle-negro and he was arrested
and' brought to trial on Saturday.

and costs or twelve months in the
chain gang. At present writing he

iHow the Express Cos. Makes
' &*. up itsLosses* |
The Southern Express Company
has a novel mode of making good its
losses through the negligence or
criminality of any of its employees.
Let us mention a case illustrative of
this great Company’s superior busi
ness tact and management. In the
year 1872 a package of money sent
per Express from Savannah to Ilawk
iusville lost on the way one hundred
and fifty-five dollars. With all the
characteristic shrewdness of the-Com
pany and its detectives, the real and
only guilty party could never be
detected. Therefore the Company
determined to make up the loss by
collecting pro rata from each of the
agents through whose hands the
money passed. There were five of
these agents, and the amount levied
on each was thirty-one dollars. Four
of the parlies paid their pro rata, but
Mr. Thos. Heniy, agent at Ilawkins
villc, refused to pay a cent of it, and
has persistently adhered to inis de
termination since in 1872. A few
days ago he was removed from the
agency of the Southern Express
Company, and another gentleman
appointed in his stead. Mr. Heniy,
however, will continue to discharge
the duties of agent for the Macon
and Brunswick in whose
employ he has been for many years.
Hawkinsville is the largest shipping
point on the road, and Mr. Hdnly
has always given satisfaction. We
presume the Express Company has
adopted the plan of the African
King, who, whenever he became
sick, imagined that one of his wives
bad “ tricked” him by some evil
means, and had prepared a cup of
poison and made all drink alike.
Mr. Heniy is too well known to
1 this community as an honorable, up
right gentleman to submit to such
unjust exactions ot any company.

Lively Timeß in the Mayor’s
Court.
There was a lively session of
Mayor Martin’s Court on Tuesday.
Two “yaller sassy niggers,” Lige
Whitehead and George Bennifleld,
were up for fighting before church.
One was fined $25 and the other S2O.
Jim .Cowart and wife, colored,
were up for not living together as
man and wife should lire. The fact
is, Jim’s wife wanted to wear the
breeches, and because Jim objected,
she proceeded to give him a genteel
flogging. Mayor Marlin thought
that seven dollars from Jim and
seventeen from his wife would be
sufficient to appease the outraged
laws of the city.
Our city is building up rapidly.
Now is the lime to invest in city

jtmc3 If
crops iu Telfair and Collfcc.
'lhe <ollowingic regard to crops is
fioin tlit pen of an intelligent farm
er:
The cotton crop in this and the
adjoining counties is the 4k>st prom
ising known for a great many years,
and the farmors arc vieing with each
other for the palm—almost every one
claiming to have the best cotton,
and all seeming to be satisfied with
the prospect. The stands obtained
in the spring were excellent, and the
propitious weather since planting
has developed a fine weed which is
generally well laden with bolls and
forms. The late dry weather is
causing some of the cotton to com
mence shedding its leaves and forms,
but nothing serious thus far.
I saw Mr. Elijah Pickren, of
Coffee county, an old and excellent
farmer, a short time ago, and he as
sured me that he had the best cotton
he ever had at this season. Should
no disaster befall the crop in this
sectiou this year a large crop will
be made, comparatively, as there
is much more planted.
The corn crop is looking tolerably
well, though the stalk is smaller than
usual, but bids fair to yield a fine ear
except in some localities which have
suffered and are yet suffering for
want of rain.
Sweet potatoes are promising, as
will be seen from the fact that the
writer has already tasted the delicate
ly flavored “nigger-killer” of this
year’s growth.
Sugar cane is looking well, what
little is planted, “jack fro9t” having
nipped the farmers’ seed last fall,
leaving but few of them with any
seed to plant this spring.
Pine Level Academy Examina
tion.
PineLevxl Academy, ]
Pulaski Cos., July 3, 1875. j
Editor Dispatch:
AVc witnessed with much pleasure
the exercises attending the examina
tion of the scholars of the above
named school, under the supervision
of Miss Hcnnie Jessup, a very excel
lent and accomplished teacher. We
were astonished to hear little six and
seven years old scholars go through
Webster’s spelling book without
scarcely missing a word, who had
been to school only this term, and
commenced with their lettei-3. Too
much cannot be said in praise of her
school.
The morning exercises consisted
of the examination of the classes in
English, Grammar, reading and
Arithmetic. Each and every scholar
acquitted themselves with honor to
themselves and credit to their es
teemed teacher. An Intermission of
one hour was given, during which
time the ladies prepared and spread
before the whole school, and the
large crowd in attendance, one of the
best dinners we have had the pleas
ure of attending.
But, Mr. Editor, we signally failed
on this occasion. We ate all we
could possibly hold ; yet, there were
anough left to feed the samo crowd
again.
Dinner being over, Miss Hennie
proceeded with the exercises. Arith
metic was resumed with the class in
Sandford’s, which class acquitted
themselves with much honor; after
which there was a spelling bee, in
which all hands joined except the
writer, who had to hold the babe.
One man failed to spell biscuit, an
other spelled sugar to the delight of
the whole house ; the • next was a
speech from master Willie Overby ;
subject: “Girl with a calico dress,”
followed by several others, all of
which acquitted themselves with
many honors and much ctedit to
their teacher. A prodigy by master
Arns Green, followed by a dialogue,
“That Better June,” by master Sher
man Crumply and Miss Polly Pow
ell, followed by an essay by Miss
Martha Coley; subject: “How
blessings brighten as they take their
flight,” followed by a dialogue, “The
Quack,” by Miss Mollie Green and
masters Jarret Green and Marion
Partin. Then a speech from master
Hampton Overby, followed by an
essay by Miss Lizzie Partin; sub
ject: “What Paddy thinks of me
now after one year’s marriage,” fol
lowed by a speech from master Jar
ret Qreen; subject: “Reieszie’s ad
dress to the Romans.”
The exercises ended with a song,
“City of Light,” which was sung by
the whole school, joined by their
teacher. Would that wo wore gifted
with the pen Qf a re&dy writer that
we could do full justice to this part
of the excrcism, but, Mr. Editor, it
was beyond ottr description. Suffice
to say their musical voices seemed
to lend enchantment to Fine Level
Academy, with which we were loth
to part. The school will continue for
another term under the immediate
supervision of Miss Jessup. All
honor and success to the school.
Yours respectfully,
Ploughshare.
Complimentary.
Wo find the following complimen

We had the pleasure of a call last
evening from Judge A. C. Pate, of
the Oconee Circuit, who is at present
presiding in Chatlmm Superior
Court, in the absence of Judge Tomp
kins. As wiff be observed by otir re
port of the proceedings in the Court
yesterday, Judge though en
tirely jinfamiliar with the business
before the tribunal, managed to com
plete a good day’s work. His cour
teous manner, dignity, and thorough
practical mode of disposing of all le
gal questions, made a very favorable
impression upon the members of the
bar. We trust the J udge’s stay in
our city will be pleasant.
A negro man by the name of
Spence Robinson set fire to the resi
dence of Mr. Ichabod Harvey, of
Marion county, and fled to parts un
known. The fire consumed the
building and its contents, the iDmates
barely escaping in their night clothes.
Robinson was afterward arrested and
jailed.

Obituary. /
Died, on the 2d of June, after a
very brief illness, Mrs. B. F. Boon.
Her reserve and shrinking delicacy
threw a veil over her beautiful char
acter. She was little known beyond
her home, bat there she silently
spread around her that soft, pure
light the preciousnesa of which was
never fhlly understood until extin
guished. She died as she bad lived,
meekly submissive to the will of the
Father-Like a lamb led to the slaugh
ter, she murmured not. Though con
scious to tie last, and loth to leave
husband ahd 'dartfhg little " Children,
she seemed to foiget the dread mes
senger in the attempt to comfort the
loved ones surrounding her dying
bed, perfectly resigned—perfectly
willing. Yes, site is gone, but let us
not weep for her as those who hare
no hope.
When the Lord shall summon us,
Whom she has left behind,
May we untainted from the world
As sure a welcome find.
May each like her depart in peace
To be a glorious guest,
Where the wicked cease from troub
ling
And the weary arc at rest.

Obituary.
Departed this file in Dooly county, Ga.,
on Tuesday, 29th Jane, 1879, Mas. Axnik
E. OwaW, wife of the Rev. R. M. Owen,
and daughter of Thomas and Temperance
Feagan, after an illness of only a few
days. Sister Owen wss bom in Jones
county, Ga., on 21st dprll, 1820. Early ia
the year 1855, her father moved to Craw
ford county, where shs grew ”P and was
educated. She was married to (he Rev.
U. M. Owen 7 lie December, 1837, by Rev.
Z. H. Gordon. Sister Owen joined the
Baptist church at Knoxville, Crawford
county. In the year 1845, and was baptized
by Rev. Marlin Ansley. She has, for
thirty years, been an orderly and consist
ent follower of the blessed Savior. On
Monday morning before her death, when
she felt that it was the pleasure of the
Lord to cal! her lienee, she said to her
devoted husband, “I am now called upon
to wade through the cold waters of death ;
but, Jesus is my refuge, in him 1 put my
trust.” The writer has known sister
Owen from c'.iiitlhood, and it lias never
been our privilege to be acquainted with
a more valuable and estimable Indy in all
the relations of life. She was an affection
ate and agreeable wife, and to her children
she was a most loving and devoted moth
er, and ever charitable and kind to the
poor around her. At the time ot the
death of sister Owen, her younger daugh
,ter, Edna, was on a visit lo her sigter-Mrs.
Emma Zclncr, in Monroe county. They
were telegraphed to, and reached their
father’s on Wednesday evening in time
to see their mother's remains placed iu
tire cold and lonely grave. Sister Owen
lived to see all her cliildren, (three sons
and tw r o daughters,) raised and married,
except the younger daughter, whom she
has left with a devoted husband to mourn
her loss, llut they mourn not ns those
who have no hope. She lias gone to be
with Jesus. The separation from her be
loved husband will be short, as be will
soon follow her to that Heavenly Mansion
where parting will be no more.
May this dispensation of Divine Provi
dence (though afflictive) prove a blessing
to the family and friends of our deceased
sister who are left to plod their w*jr
through a world of sin and temptation.
Qod help the children of our sister to be
come followers of the blessed Jesus, and
make them useful in their day and gen
eration, that their end may be like hers.
S.ster Ann, farewell.
‘ Thou art gone to the grave—we no long
er behold thee,
Nor tread the rough patlia of the world
by thy aide;
But ti e wide arms of mercy arc spread to
enfold thee.
And sinners may hope, since the Savior
hath died.”
