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.

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

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.

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

Emor ’ Speer has been appoint
ed District Attorney for tho Nor
thern District of Georgia. 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

Oapt Howell, managing editor

troversy 1 ist summer was rath*

burry the hatchet. This is all very

be buried as soon ns a convenient
