PALMETTO, FEBBUARYI tli, 1873.
1 of Crime.
We are of the opinion that at no pe
riod in the history of our country, has
the amount of crime been bo great as
e-t lire present day. There is scarcely
H day pastes, but that yon hear of
some man being robbed or some body’s
house entered and tilings stolen there,
from, or someone being shot or cut to
paces. Our newspaper columns from
ull sections are crowded with details
of horrible crimes—surely the world
each day becomes more corrupt and
wicked and a great reform is needed.
Our couutry which was so complete
ly demoralized by the recent war, in
stead of trying to improve in point of
morals have been retrograding in a
degree which has become almost
alarming. A man can not leave his
chopping a? at his wood pile, without
danger of losing it.
Our laws are too light on rogues to
relieve our country you must make the
law, a terror to evil doers, unless their
stealing is checked, a man’s crop will
be unsafe in the field. If he has a few
dollars in his pocket his life will be in
danger.
A barber in Titusville, while cutting
the hair (fa rural customer, ran his
shears against some hard substance,
which proved to be a whetstone. The
old farmer said he had “missed that
whetstone ever since baying time last
July, and looked all over a teu
acre lot for it, but now remembered
sticking it up over his car.”
Treatment of Broken Legs.— They
have anew way of treating the bro
ken legs of horses which ought to be
generally known. A valuable horse
in Hartford, Conn., had his leg broken
a short time since. The leg was care
fully set by an experienced surgeon,
and was cove red thickly with plaster.
When the plaster “set/* or hardened,
it kept the limb as immovable as if it
bad been made < f iron Thus treated,
a broken leg, it is asserted, will knit
together in a brief time, and become
as good as ever.
The man who can’t be happy un
less his mother-in-law lives in the
game house with him, isn’t a resident
of New York. He lives in Jersey
City. He says she’s the only woman
who can tackle his wife successfuily.

The brusque Dr. Albernethy, when
rushing along a London street in great
bapte, was attacked by a garrulous old
lady patient. She began her plaint.
There was but one chance of escape.
“Just close your eyes and open your
month, madam,” said the desperate
Rian. There she stood and stood, eyes
phut torgue protruded, waiting for his
verdict, while he darted past and left
|ier to the tender mercies of a rapidly
jncrea ing crowd.
A negro witness, ou a horse trial in
New Jersey court, was asked to ex
plain the difference between a box
ptall and a common stall. St Lighten
ing himself up, he pointed to the
pquare inelosure in which the judge
was seated, and paid, “Dat ar’s what
l cal! a box stall, dere whai dat old
b'l33 is sitting !” It took a good many
l aps of the judge’s gavel to restore
(>rdcr in that court.
Up re for Bone Felon —The follow
}ng is said to be a good remedy for
this cause of suffering : Take common
fork sal , 6ueh as is used fur sailing
down pmk or beef ; dry it in an oven ;
then pound it fine, pud mix with spirits
if turpentine in equal parts. Put it
jn a rag and wrap it around the part
affected, and as it get- dry put on more,
find in twenty four hours you are cured
: —t|ie felon is dead.

Jiiiuwii Groton Junction, on the great
thoroughfare of the Nor hern Lines to

SUMUBRViU.E (J A., F. b. Ist, 1873.
Mr. Editor : Thinking perhaps a
communication from the ruouuta is
might be interesting to your numerous
readers, I bi g spac- • in your valuable
columns for a few lines. I am now
slopping at Summerville, the county
site id Ci.attooga. This village is lo
cated in the center of a valley, of l icit
and fertile lands, drained by the Chat
tooga river, which empties into the
Coosa, about twenty miles South of
this place, and is siirronndi and y moun
tains which presents some picturesque
scenery, and vividly reminds us of the
days of y'ore. When, lin unconscious
infancy, and uiithoughtful childhood
was surrounded by kindred and friends,
many of whom, have moved to the dis
tant West, to amend their bro en for
tunes, and alas ! many have gone to
that bourne from whence no trouble re
turns. Summerville lias ouce boasted
of a newspaper , (The Challooga Adver
tiser) which is now suspended, some
say defunct, but may perhaps be re-
vived soon. There is a Masonic Lodge
also a Good Templar’s Hall here, both
are in a Burnishing condition. The
village boasts of three churches, re
-8; ectfully, Baptist, Methodist and Pres
byterian ; and two veiy good schools,
four or five dry goods stores, and one
or too groceries, and a hotel, and al
together seems to be in a fi lurishiug
condition. Tiiou Factory, the property
of A. T. Allgoo' l , & Cos. is situated
about five miles North of this place,
where an extensive business is carried
( n. They have, I learn about four hun
dred employees ;ad a pretty good
market is there opened for cotton,
which is the staple production ef this
alluvial soil. The farmers of this sec
tion have sown rather small crops of
wheat, and oats, and are making ar
rangements for a heavy crop, of cot
ton. Provisions seem to be abundant,
and can be procured at reasonable
rates Dry goods and groceries, are
rather higher than in your section, ow
ing to the remote distance from Rail
road faiilities ; Rome Ga. 25 miles be
ing the most accessible point. There
is a Railroad in progress through this
country ; contracts having been let
out on both the Northern and South
ern terminus, but for some cause the
work has beeu temporarily, as we hope
suspended ; which when completed
will traverse this entire valley, and
pass through Summerville. Triou Fac
tory, and La Fayette, Walker county,
on the W. & A. R. R , thus connecting
this village with Chattanooga and
Rome, making at the latter place
connection witu hi C li. &, G. lv an d
also the R. & D. S. R. R., and others
of importance. The c.tizens of North
Georgia have the same enterprise,
which characterizes the Georgian in
all other sections of the State, and'are
wide awake to the interest of the peo
pie.
Before closing, I will state, that the
medical profession is well represented
in this section in point of talent, but
not as numerically strung as in your
immediate vicinity.[ It has been a
long conceded fact, that the water of
Northern Ga. can not be excelled for
its invigorating propeities, and it is
useless for us to comment upon its
many virtues. The health of the citi
zens is generally good, though the In
fluenza, vulgarly termed Epizootic has
been prevalent, with one or two, deaths.
The weather lias been quite severe,
and old residents say the most bitter
and loi gesl, cold ever experienced.
The clouds have all at last dispersed,
and old Sol seems to shed forth his long
draped rays with redoubled splendor
and refulgence, and to-day, Saturday
seems quite vernal : old nature seems
aroused, and an occasional warble of
birds greet our ears as vve pen this
scroll. I will close these lines by
wishing you well all the happiness
commensurate will, mundane existence.
Respectfully,
W. C. Bailv, M. D.

Carlotta widow of Max’milian is dead
A Son Shoots and Mortally Wounds
His Father. —Ou Saturday evening,
December 28th, a tragedj of the most
startling natuie was enacted in Fabius
township, four miles southwest of
West Grove, in this county. John
Horn, a boy about sixteen years old,
deliberately laid in wait lor, shot and
mortally wounded his father. It
seems, from what we can learn of the
affair, that old man Harn had been in
the habit of cruelly beating, and other
wise ill treating, his boy for every lit
tle offense, and the boy, who is said to
be a very hard oue, was not much
softeued by this kind of treatment.
Ou the morning mentioned above
Mr. H om came to Cloomfield to attend
to some busiiie-s, and, during his ab
sence, the boy used bis team. The
horses in some manner became fright
ened and ran off, smashing the wagon .
After the accident, the boy, being
afraid to face the old man, procured
his father’s revolver and, loading it,
laid out in (lie brush until even ng,
wate ring for Mr. Horu’s return. Mr.
Horn arrived home -bout eight o’clock
iu the evening, and after supper took
a seat close to the window (tud com.
menced reading a paper. It was while
in this position that the fearful deed,
which will probably cost him his life,
wa< committed. The boy, approach
ins: as close to the window as he could,
took deliberate aim aud fir and. The
ball from the pistol penetrated Mr.
Horu’s head just back of and under the
ear, and narrowly missed severing the
jugular-- vein. Mr Horn is attended
by Dr. Simpson, of Monterey, who we
understand, has pronounced the wound
mortal
The hoy was arrested bv some citi
zens of the neighborhood, and was to
be brought here for preliminary exam
nation.
We have heard that Mr. Horn takes
the mat er coolly, aud remarked to the
boy when brought into his presence,
that “he had made a pretty good shot
at the old man.”
