the Methodist church Sunday and
Sunday night. On entering the
church building on Sunday morning,
the reverend gentleman received a
rising salutation from an immense
congregation—one of the largest
church assemblages, perhaps, seen
here in a long time. The house was
literally packed, and the remarks of
the aged minister Commanded the
most earnest attention.
After the conclusion of the sermon,
a member of the congregation pro
posed a collection, and a sUtn of
about fifty-five dollars was raised.

To say that a shooting affray
would startle Hawkinsyide would be
father a wild assejtiouf fo| it would
be but the awakening of old memo
ries—* kind of reminiscence. Satur
day artefitoon last, However, bur
town came near being the scene of a
tragedy. The difficulty was between
Messrs. James E. Laidler and War
ren S. Partin, both young men of this
place. Rapid pistol reports and the
whizzing cf balls along Commerce
street gave warning of danger and
impending bloodshed. A couple of
gentlemen sitting on the north side
of Commerce street shifted their
seats in no little haste when a ball
whistled over their heads and struck
a plank above. The trouble was in
Partin’s bar, in the old Taylor hotel
building, and in a few minutes Par
tin and Laidler were seen grasping
each other and struggling in the
doorway. Major John H. Pate, who
had been an uncomfortable listener
to the shooting, and who was sitting
o.utside upon the steps making a cal
culation, jumped up and called for
help to part the combatants.
The young men were soon separa
ted, and it was found that Mr. Laid
ler was wounded in two places. One
ball bad entered his arm, and anoth
er had entered his chest and shoul
der. A ball also grazed his face, in
flicting a slight bruise.
Mr. Laidler was accompanied to
the office of Dr. Smith, who made an
examination of the wounds and
dressed them. It was found that they
were not serious.
Mr. Laidler was unarmed, and
lied upon his muscle to overcome his
antagonist. He was enveloped in
smoke, and the strangest part of the
affair is that, being so near, he was
not killed in the fight.
Mr. Partin was ndt hiirt. It is
said that he did toe shooting, act
ing, as he thought, in self-defence,
having expected trouble with his an
tagonist for some time.
Bloody Rows—Cutting, Shooting, Beat
ing and Other Sport—One Man Dead.
Last Saturday was what Aleck
Stephens might call “a field day” in
this section. Several bloody rows
occurred in the surrounding country,
the participants being mostly colored
people. Henry Dison was assassin-,
ated on Bob Brown’s plantation, on
the “county line road.” Perry Brown
did the work with a shot gun. His
object was to kill another man, but
he made a mistake in his victim, an.l
waylaid and shot an innocent-man.
Dison lived until Monday morning.
Brown fled from the scene of his
crime, and is yet at large.
Two more colored men “fell out”
on Clay Brown’s plantation, in the
Third District of Dooly, and one was
terribly gashed with a knife in the
hands of his antagonist. Still living.
Another colored man was reported
badly beateh in the lower part of
Dooly. He had broken into a white
man’s house, and the owner, armed'
with a heavy stick, felled the negro,
and continued belaboring him until
his body was considerably bnused.
The above are the casualties as far
as received. Full returns are not in.

ARREST OF A MURDERER.

f Mr. Bollard, of &k Coauty,
Arrested in Hawkinsville—Fol
lowed by a Sharp De
tective.
Probably some of the readers of
the Dispatch remember the particu
lars of the atrocious murder of Mr.
Ballard, a farmer of Pike county,
while returning home in his wagon
from Bartlesville. The crime was
committed about two months ago,
and the evidence pointed to two
negroes, one of whom was soon af
terward arrested In Atlanta. Th*e
other one eluded arrest, and fled to
Houston county, thence to Pulaski
and Dodge.
The people of Pike county were
greatly excited over the murder of
Mr. Ballard, and every effort was set
on foot to capture the authors of the
foul deed. Mr. Ballard had sold his
cotton that day iu Barnesville, and
while returning home in the early
part of the night, passed two negro
men on the road. They asked for
permission to ride, and Mr. Ballard
allowed them to take seats in his
wagon.
Their preconcerted plan of murder
was then carried into effect, by one
of the men approaching Mr. Ballard
and shooting him through the head
with a derringer pistol. Mr. Ballard
sprang from the Wagon, and at the
same time made a loud scream for
help. The negroes, under fear ofde
tection, fled from the scene without
robbing their vLtiffi of his money,
as they intended to have done.
When Mr. Ballard was found he was
dead, but his money was safe upon
his body.
A reward of two hundred and fifty
dollars was offered by Governor Col
quitt for the murderers, and Mr. W.
P. Bussey, of Pike county, undertook
the task of making the arrest.
Several days before the late elec
tion, Mr. Bussey arrived in Hawkins
ville, but very shrewdly kept his real
business to kimseif. He represented
himself as a stock dealer, and en
gaged pork to some of our citizens.
Tiie impression also was made in the
commdillty that he was here to influ
ence votes in favor of Atlanta for the
capital —Mr. Bussey allowing this
impression to prevail in order to be
come as familiar as possible with cer
tain colored people, believing that
he could more easily accomplish his
purpose. Things grew a little warm
on election day, and Mr. Bussey not
only voted for Milledgeville, but ap
peared a little anxious to let the
white people know his proper stand
ing. Everything then progressed
satisfactorily.
Mr. Bussey kept a lookout for Ed
Dumas, and discovered that he wa
woiking in a livery stable- in Coch
ran. Ed soon left there and made
his way down among the turpentine
distilleries between Cochran and
Eastman, but his pursuer was still on
the track.
On Saturday Ed was followed to
Hawkinsville and “spotted.” On
Sunday morning he Was run down
and captured, Mr. James B. McDuffie
assisting Mr. Bussey in the arrest.
Mr. Bussey could have Captured
Ed at Cochran, but it might have
cost Ed bis life. Ed did not know
Mr. Bussey, while the latter knew
Ed, and thus had the advantage cf
him.
Ed says he is not the man who did
the shooting, but that his comrade
did it. He also expressed a doubt as
to whether he would ever be allowed
a trial in court. But his fears are
probably without foundation, as he
Will no doubt have a fair trial, even
if it results in the breaking of his
neck by the halter. It is reported
that he has been engaged in two or
three. other murders in the State
since the war.
Mr. Bussry has shown much tact
and fine detective skill in the pursuit
and final capture of the author of so
foul a crime. He requested us to
return his thanks to the citizens of
Hawkinsvilie for the aid extended
him.
Alnpaha Ont of Meat Again.
Will not somebody down in Irwin
or Worth please carry a few pounds
of bacon to Alapaha station ? The
citizens are all out of meat, though
whisky is plentiful. Brother Turner,
the editor of the Berrien News, is in
great trouble about the matter. Ho
makes the following lamentation:
“If the citizens of this town (Alap
aha) were dependent upon it for
meat, there would certainly be a lot
of hungry people, for there has not
been a pound of bacon in this market
in three weeks.”

Tribute of Reftpeet by Lumber City Ledges
N0.T89 F. A. M., to Duncan McArthur.
The committee appointed at the
last meeting of this Lodge to report
resolutions commemorative ot Bro.
Duncan McArthur submit tile follow
ing report:
The hand of death, which lias re
cently stricken the name of Brother
Duncan McArthur from the roll of
the living, leaves not upon our.re
coids a more perfect model of a pure
and upright citizen, an earnest, self
sacrificing patriot, a great hearted,
true man, whose life was spent in the
practice of virtue and in the service
of his fellow man.
In his demise we are reminded that
change and deeav are written upon
every living thing beneath the sun,
tliat the most spotless character, the
loftiest intellect, a heart moved by
the kindest and noblest impulses of
our nature, are alike subject to tile
changes and mutatiors that are writ
ten by the hand of Destiny upon our
race.
In the grave we have buried from
our sight the form in which once ex
isted all the facilities of mind and
emotions of heart, and graces of man
ner which once endeared the living
to our hearts, and there remains to
us only their memory and this soon
passes -with us into receding shadows
of the past; yet while we live the
memory of our departed brother lin
gers with us. It is a sad and melan
choly pleasure to pause beside the
tomb and with surviving friends com
mune in sorrow at the loss we hare
sustained. His body sleeps until the
resurrection morn, yet to us who
moved upon the stage of existence
with him, his good deeds, his spotless
character, his noble example will
shed a gentle influence, falling like
the unseen dew of the skies, bringing
joy and refreshment to our souls as
we journey over the arid waste of
life.
Asa neighbor, as a friend, as a
member of our fraternity, he stood
ever ready lo perform his whole du
ty to his fellow man.
But his life of usefulness would
have been incomplete -had it been
limited alone to the kind offices per
formed in behalf of his fellow crea
tures. lie was not unmindful of his
duty to his S'ate, or that at the call
of his fellow citizens, he owed a ser
vice that be could not disregard.
It would not be expected that in a
brief tribute, such as is offered here,
we should trace his public career
through ttie various prominent and
useful public positions that the con
fidence of the people conferred upon
him. He filled them all worthily and
well, and left them without distrust
of his capacity or suspicion of his in
tegrity.
A man of marked modesty and dif
fidence, but a cleai intellect, an hon
est heart and spotless life, few men in
his county exercised a wider influ
ence! None commanded more justty
or more worthily the universal con
fidence of all who knew him at his
death.
But while he responded promptly
at the call of his lellow citizens, lie
was not unmindful of the fact that
there is a large portion of life due to
family and friends, to the kindnesses
and amenities of social and domestic
life. Here it was that his best and
happiest influences were felt and ap
preciated. Around him here clus
tered wife and children, to him the
richest treasure of life. But into this
bereaved and sacred circle of afflic
tion we forbear to intrude. Iu the
home seclusion of their it reparable
loss, we can say there is only one
source of consolation, a fountain that
never fails, lo which he, as husband
and father, for so maty years pointed
them and led the way.
Probably ho citizen of his county
was ever honored or trusted more
with public confidence than our de
ceased brother.
Brother Duncan McArthur was
born January 16, 1806, and died Oc
tober 17, 1877, aged 71 years, 9
months and 1 day. He joined the
Methodist church in 1830 ; was mar-'
ried to Miss Elizabeth McLaucklin
February 22, 1827.
Ae our brother had passed his
three score and ten, ripe with years,
ready and willing to yield to the
stroke of the all-devouring sickle of
time, we bow submissively to the
Divine will, feeling though that the
loss of such a man at any time is an
irreparable loss to the Masonic fra
ternity and to the entire community.
Yet his life of piety and fidelity to
duty is an assurance to bereaved
hearts that he has passed into the
climes of eternal bliss. Be it, there
fore,
Resolved, That in the death of
Bro. Duncan Mi Arthur -e have lost
an honored member of our fraternity,
the State an active, useful and patri
otic citizen, the church of which he
was a member a zealous, pure-hearted
Christian, society one of its most
highly cherished ornaments, and his
family a husband and father whose
loss they alone truly appreciate in all
its results.
Resolved, That wesympathizeand
lament with his familv and surviving
friends the loss of our brother in this
their sad bereavement, and that a
copy of the foregoing report be fur
nished the family of our deceased
brother, witli the seal of the Lodge
attached thereto, and be entered on
the m'nutes of the Lodge and pub
lished in the Hawkinsvilie Dispatch.

A Gentle Hint.
in our style of climate, with its
sudden . cliaiges Of temperature,—
rain, wind and sunshine often inter
mingled in a single d*ty;—it is no
wonder that our children, friends
and relatives are so frequently taken
from us by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting directly from this
CrUise. A bottle of Boschee’s Ger
man Syrup kept about your home
for immediate use will prevent sert
our sickness, a large doctor’s bill,
and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing
Consumption, Hemorrhages, Pneu
monia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any
disease of the Throat or Lungs, its
success is simply wounderful, as
your druggist Will iell you. Ger
man Syrup Is now sold in eVery

Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who
has used Boschfees German Syrup to
letits wonderful qualities be huown to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any ease, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bot
tle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where it
failed was reported. Such a medi

too widely known. Ask your Drug
