SK,"*) forgotten that it was <r ‘tines day and does not ■tappreciate the joke— tLin"s d is to j oke about. A few weeks ago an old stable upon ilis. Orr’s lot. in oflr village after battling with the storms of sixty years, tumbled down. It had a history. In the early settlement of the town, when these old fields tnat have supported a generation ftnd been turned out as worthless, were covered with magnificent groves of stately oaks, graceful elms and giant hickories, with on ly a path here and there made by the dusky Cherokees as they came here to market their peltry and buy fire water for their braves and tinsel for ilieit black-ey ed maidens, this eld structure built of rude logs, nicely hewn down and notched, for a mercan tile establishment. In one end the proprietor, James McClure, carri ed on a harness shop and in -the other he sold goods. It was one of the first, if uot the finest store houses built in the town Here the old fathers who sleep in the Cemetery were accustomed togath er at eventide to hear the v llage news, or listen to the huntsmans story,. Here the Indian wnriors, from over the Chattahoochee, smoked the pipe of peace with the pale face, while they exchanged maise and peltry for saddles, bri dies, acannition anti whiskey But the Cherokees have been driven by the white man beyond the Western hills, and perhaps the last one of their tall athletes and handsome maidens, have pais ed over to the happy hunting ground, while the greedy white man who coveted their lovely val leys and fertile fields has depart ed too. And this old landmark by whose door many of its builders have passed to the Cemetery, for gotten, in the changing scenes of sixty years no longer marks the spot its early triumph. Falls by the Assassin's Bullet. On Thursday night last one of the most horrible murders was per petrate«< in Hartwell that it lias ever been our duty to record, the victim being William Dooley, the Marshal. It was Salesday, and a large assembtago of people were in town during the day. Late in the evening the Marshal had ar rested Winston Adams and was at tempting to carry him to the eala boose,"when several parties attempt ed to resist the Marshal in his ef fort among the uumbe Lindsay B Adams, who, during the altered tiotr received a blow over the head from the Marshal. Soon after dark o«e of the parties who had been engaged in the affair was car ri&fi I**fora the Board of Commies ioners und fined but Lindsay Ad aius was uot arrested. The trial was ended about eight o’clock rtf night. Marshal Dooley remained f bout the square until about nine o’clock, ki3 attention was attracted to the Herring (now Allen) bar room, and in company with Mr. 11. N. Ayers lie walked over there from Mr. Gully’s confectionary store. The front door of the bar room was closed, and they went around to the door in the rear end and entered. Soon after entering they were, standing with their backs to the fire, looking on at Some parties engaged in a friend ly scuttle. 'Suddenly a pistol was fired in the door they had entered and Marshal Dooley fell, only ex claimed : “BOYS, HELP ME —I AM KILLED !” And instantly died. Immediately after the inquest was held the Coroner issued a war rant for the arrest of Lindsay B. Adams and Moses M. ltuoker They were accordingly brought be fore Justices H. S. (loss and Jas F. White on Thursday last, and after an exhaustive trial were com mitted to Jail to awuii trial for the murder.— Sin. Think of paper rails for rail roads! The New York Herald says steel manufacturers are aux iously awaiting the result of a tri al of paper rails to be made on a prominent Western road. Car wheels of this material have long been in use. aud are reported to give satisfaction. The rails are said to be made wholly of paper pulp, subjected to a pressure which renders it as solid as metal. It is claimed that the paper rails are not affected by amospberic ebang es, that they are more durable than steel, and that they can be mauufactnreij ° De third less east than those of steel. On Thursday night last, in Car tei’s saloon at Dallas, Paulding county, an altercation took place between 3 S Moore and Pass Jones, during which botn drew their pistols and commenced fir iag. Moore succeeded in catch ing hold of Jone’s pistol in his left hand and began firing on bis antagonist, shooting him four times Jones.died on Saturday. He had the reputation of being a desperate character His father was killed seme five or six years ago in a similar way.

Editor Herald; A great many friends request ed me to write them when I got to my new home. To write to each individually, would consume no little time. Hence, with your permission, I will write them thro’ your valuable columns. Our party consisted of W J Mint r. Win Yar brough my wife an d four childreu. We left home on the morning ot the 27th nit, airiving at Macon Sunday morniDg at 5 o’clock, and. at 9 a. m , were off for Savannah, arriving at that place at 4 p. in. remaining there until 11 p m. Thence to Jacksonville, i distance of 190 irlies. No incidents along ' this tout. January 30th, at 1 o’clock, ]i. m., we transferred our selves to the steamer H. P. I’lunt. vhich plys the river St Johns, from Jacksonville to Sanford, a d'stauce of 211 miles. The seen cry on t! o river is grand—,ts pranduro is beyond description. The s’ght of the magnificent or ange groves alone aie worth the trip, After so many thousands of fruit being gathered from the trees there is still thousands left. To appreciate this delicious gol den frtit you should gather it for yourself. Yet fruit growing is not the only industry in which these people engage. We arrived at Orlando, the county site of this county, January 31st. It is a pros porous town of 1200 inhabitants. Three years ago Juue next, this town consisted of a court house and three or four dwellings. The people are well to do. We met some old friends fiom Coviugton, Ga., who are doing a splendid bnsi iuesa. My present location is 15 miles west of Orlanda on Lake Apopka. Thi* lake is several miles larger than Lake George on the St Johns. This lake legion is r» ceiving a great deal of attention at this time. A canal is being cut from Lake Apopka to Lake Dora to connect this rich region with Oclawalia steamers. The dredge boats like only three quarters of a rule of being through, '1 here is a branch rail road to cross tho ca mil from the Peninsular rail road. When this is completed we will (hen Lave all the transportation we need. In a distance of eight miles along the lake there is some 40 orange groves, with from 10 to 150 acres in each. Of this num her 15 or bearing groves. A great many vegetables are being raised hereon the lake Some nearly ready for market now. Those g ird nets realize from two to four bun dred dollars per acre. The way these vegetables grow is amazing. Why, the oilier day I heard them grumbling for more room to grow. We are grabbling swe/rt potatoes fresh from under the green viues. Fruits vegetable, and Lowers all the year round. Just imagine if you can this delightful clime, mer cury 82 to 8G degrees at. 12 :n., 7G at sun set. and GG at pun rise. We hive fine fi-hiug—fish for breakfast, fish for dinner and fish for supper. We caught a soft shelled turtle this in truing weigh iug 12 pounds, so come down to morrow and diuewPh us on turtle soup. J. H. C. M. Full of Mol at ses. A robbery committed under pe culiar and ludicrous circumstances was yesterday evening explained to the central office authorities. — The story told bv the friends of the victim is that on Friday after noon a well dressed stranger en tered the grocery store at West Eleventh and Washington streets, and asked JoLn II Von Dohlen, the proprietor, who was t hen ho hi nl the counter, to change a ten dollar bill. The grocei vinau took a roll of bills from Ins p teket and gave his visitor two five dollar bills. There was in nil abouts3oo in t he bundle of greenbacks which Von Dohlen foolishly displayed. A short time afterward two men neatly dressed walked into the store. They appeared qu : te mer ry and laughed loudly. One of them said to Von Dohlen that they had made a rather odd bet and wanted him to settle it. Von Doh len asked the nature of the bet, whereupon he was told that they desired to know which of their hats would hold the most moines es. The grocery man laughed, but when one of the strangers gave him his hat and said lie would pay for the molasses used, Von Dohlen began filling it with the syrup. When the hat had been filled to the brim Von Dohlen gave it to the stranger. A second afterward one of the men grabbed the *tore keeper about the arms, while his comrade placed the hat filled with molasses on his head. Then they rifled his pockets and relieved him of his roll of greenbacks. After securing the money the men ran out of the store, and Von Dohlen, although nearly smothered, start ed in pursuit, but after running several blocks gave up the chase. As the trick is new the police are desirous of discovering the ingeni ous young meu.—We u> York 11< r- Sam RunduH of Ponnoyltania and Representative Carlisle of 'Kentucky r.ro the Democratic con test ante for tho speakership in the next congress. Randall is prob ably the most skillful parliaments riuns in Congress and u capital party manager, hut ho is a high tariff man and hencs will meet with bitter opposition from south ern and western men who disagree with him on the tariff.

His name was sent into the Sonata far confirmation last week by the Pies ideut. We presume he will be con firmed without trouble, and after tlio fourth of March will make hie homo in Atlanta. The district attorney’s office is a profitable one, and is not usually thrown away as a mire matter of favor. Lis expected that the naan who holds it shall bo a leader and efficient worker in the party. Tho administration must have strong hopes of accomplishing much for tho party, to induct if tO (urn out a faithful and long tried Iltpubli | can aad give the succession to one who has heretofore indignantly do j nied that he was in sympathy with Radicalism. “We will ses what we shall seo." Judge Bigby wau lifted out of back door of the District At tor ney’s office iu the fallowing quaint stylo by the Altornjfy t’»nvi’«l. W AEHiKoroN, D. C., February 11 1883. —Jehu S Bigby, Atlanta, Georgia* lam directed by the President to say to von that your resignation of the office of Unite ! States Attorney for the Northern district of Georgia has been ac cepted, to take effect npc n tho qualification of your successor. Benjamin H. Brewster, Attorney General. Oapt Howell, managing editor of the Constitution, and Emory Speer made friends last week in Washington. Their newspaper con troversy 1 ist summer was rath* er bitter, and Bince that time their personal relations have not been friendly. They have agreed to burry the hatchet. This is all very well. Political quarrels usually originate in nothing, and should be buried as soon ns a convenient opportunity offers. The Government proposes to ro establish the barracks in Atlanta. thinks there is n» point in the South so suitable for ; permanent barracks, both on ac count of its healthfulness and its easy access to all p*in;s along tho South Atlantic aud Gulf coast.— The committee recommended tho appropriation of $75.01)0 to pur chase suitable grounds for the pur pose. The corner stone of tho new court house in Walton county wa» laid last Monday, with imposing ceremonies by the Masons. Let teri were r ad from Senators Col quitt and Brown, Gen Gordon, Chief Justice Jackson and others. The address wasjdelivered by Rev G A Nunnally. This is the fourth Court house built in that county. The first was a log one, built in 1820 Judge F.Btes lins abolished the practice of kisssing the Bible when taking an oath. He says it is a merely meaningless form which takes up timo te no purpose, and that the oath is just r.s binding “either with or without laying hands on the holy evangalist of Almighty God" as with it. There certainly is nothing in the statue that requires the kissing of tho book. Kate Baker, Savannah, says: Brown’s Iren B'tters lias kept u*y I'biltTtu iu robust LoalUj-’ N. W.
