Deat>i of I>r. Wm. ii. ]?5cBride.
Again is Washington county called upon
to mourn the loss of a beloved and honored
citizen. Dr. William ,Q. McBride, one of
the Representatives of this county in the
Legislature, died in Cincinnati on the 16th
inst., in the 59th year of his age.
For a long while Dr. McBride had been a
great sufferer from a cancer on his back.—
Latterly it had assumed immense proportions,
the inflamaticn extending from the edge of
his hair down the spine several inches and
around under the arms. Some months ago
he placed himself under: treatment in Atlan
ta. Failing of relief, he finally went to .Cin
cinnati to try the skill of an eminent Physi
cian of that city. For a time the hope was
strongly entertained that he wouid be cured.
But just as the main cancer appeared about
to yield to treatment, two others made their
appearance. The climate, too, was Unfavor-
ble to him. On the 12th inst. he fell a prey
to pneumonia. His constitution was too far
gone to withstand the ravages off this feariul
disease. He lingered until Friday when he
sank sweetly to rest, trusting with unbound- •
ed faith in the God whom he had served for
years, and with the full assurance of a happy
reception beyond the river.
The brethren of the Masonic Fraternity
and of the Christian church gathered around
him and did all that brotherly love and Chris
tian affection could do to stay the grim mon
ster, and when hope failed, stood by his dy- 1

A Sad Dispensation.
Died, in Nashville, Berrin county, Geo.,
May 3rd, 1873. JIacsie Morgan,'-youngest
child of Rev. M. F. Morgan, age one year,
• one month and sixteen-days.
Rev. M. F. Morgan has-- for upwards of six
years been a citizen of this county, during
which time he has been devotedly engaged in
thg discharge of his ministerial duties. The
circumstances attending the death of his
youngest son, are heart rending, and of the
most serious nature. - ‘ _
W,e beg leave to make.brief statem^nt^ for
the benefit of his numerous friends, and re
latives. ilfr. and M rs. Morgan were both ab
sent, the latter being by the bed-side of Mrs.
Tally who is recovering from a long and
severe illness, during which she has had no
better friend and nurse than Mrs. Morgan.
The town was thrown into confusion by the
announcement of the sudden Meath of
“Mackie.' 1 . There was hurrying to the scene,
an J. every effort made to bring the little child
to life, but all attempts were vain, as its
spirit was doubtless in another world where
sorrow and trouble are not known. j Mrs.
Morgan was in the mean time gone for; by
a prudent friend, who without giving any
definite information, hastily drove through
town, giving no time for a reply to the ques-
tkftis of Mrs. Morgan in attempting to gain
information concerni ig the excitement. She
had by this time become highly excited, and
ing couch soothing his last moments, and f must have known that there was something
lighting up the pathway through the dark !•
valley by the.knowledge that though dying in j
a strange land, he was surrounded by breth
ren. And not here did they stop. Every j
assistance possible was frendeked the discon- f
solate widow (Mrs. McBride accompanied t
her husband to Cincinnati,) in getting the |
remains home,and seeing that she kicked for j
nothtng on the long, sad journey.
The remains were buried with -Masonic [

she was not, nor could she be- prepared for
the awful announcement awaiting her. It
was thus she reached the door to find her en

had been brought to his untimely end, by
being drowned in a tub; the water in which
was not exceeding three inches in depth.

That “Augusta Tiger,” Captured-
Editors Herald :—The Augustians need fear
no longer, for the Varmint is capturecL. That
they may feel sure of the fact, and sleep un
disturbed-henceforth, I will give particulars.
This ferocious beast is supposed to have
been wandering Southward, seeking his na
tive atmosphere on the torrid shores of Flori
da, when, about two weeks since, he espied
a body of colored laborers, near the creek
swamp, only a few miles above this place.
They met on the Central Railroad, where a
terrible conflict ensued. “The colored troops
fought nobly,” hut after a long and, bloody
struggle, they became convinced that a vic
tory was unattainable, in such a combat
against “tooth and toenail,” and conclude;!
to withdraw, which they did, without tue
loss of a single man. Excitement spread,
and darkies all were afraid to venture through
swamps and-dark places, lest they should
come upon this ravenous beast, and be de
voured.
The negroes of this vicinity have recently
had built a handsome and capacious church,
in this place, on a creek, near a millpond,
and, as anyone may suppose, who is familiar
with their religions peculiarities, great num
bers of them flock to it, to hear the Divine
-word expounded.
A “big meeting” had been announced to
be held at this church on last Saturday night,
and before nightfall on that day, the darkies
had-poured in from every direction to attend
it. Some talked of one thing, and some of
another, but the chief topic of conversation
was “the bloody fight with the Augusta Tiger"
a few night before, up the creek. A • cause
for increased excitement arose ; for the tiger,
the night before, had been in the “Boro,” had
knawed through the palings of a garden just
opposite the church, and had tom up tho
ground, in search of some decayed flesh
which had been placed there for manure. He
left his large track plainly imprinted on tho
soft ground, therefore there was no doubt but
that it was “the Augusta Tiger.” The “Big
meeting” was broken np, the congregation

J. M G. and Sarah A. Mecltook.m the 1th
year of his age, Jodie was one of the dear
est little fellows that God ever gave to bless
a parent's i)eart. And O, how we loved him !
For twelve long und weary weeks he suffered
intensely from whooping-cough. And not
withstanding we saw the light fading day by
day and felt in our hearts that he would soon
leave us .when the bit w fell it was none the less
hard. How could ice give him up ? When his
little sister went some weeks before, we took
Jodie to our hearts as the baby again, placed
him where she slept, and tried to make of
him what we made of both before. But the
Lord had need cf our darling and took him
to Himself. Blessed be the name of the
Lord. The little fellow was permitted to re
tain his speech and reasoning faculties almost
to the last moment. Seeing the family weep
ing around him he asked of each the cause.
Just before he died, near 9 o’clock, p. m.,

in the trees around the house and began to
sing as they had not doue before and have

little fellow exclaimed, ‘T hear tho birds

Shocking Child Murder—A white girl,
four years old, was murdered in the wood s
near Lynchburg. Va., by a colored boy seven
years old. The girl was found with her head
beaten in and a bloody clubby her side. The
boy confessed that he killed her because she
refused to give him a white marble.
Cincinnati, May 16.—Wm. McDonald, a
young man, while walking through the ma
rine railway in tb? upper part of this city,
late this afternoon, missed his footing, and
fell across a 24-inch circular saw, operating
at full speed. The saw took off the left arm
and heel, ana sawed into the body, cutting
the heart half in two. No help was near, but
the man extricated himself, ran fifty yards,
and fell dead.

Our Mi. Rodgers is off up to Atlanta with
the other big men of the country, and will
have so much to talk about (write abont, per
haps we should say,) next week, that there
will scarcely be room for it.
These Governors and Editors are having a
grand time no donbt. We see by the papers
that the occasion was uoure.d in by the firing
of cannon, streaming banners, and. strains
of martial music. And well it might be. The
building of the Great Western Canal £is the
grandest move of the day. But when Rodgers
comes back he will tell us all about it.
The Guinnett Herald then came in with it3 j”
Peepl.e(s), and we dare say that the Guin- j*
nett Herald believes in the constitutional j
rights of its own Peeples, as well as of all i
other peoples on earth. The Quitman Ban- j
ner then came before the Association with 1
its elegant Files. As th^ Files of the Banner
seemed to have been kept in very nice order,
it was admitted as a member of the Associa
tion. Then came the Thomnsville Times,
which, it may seem strange to say, presented
the only Christian.in the Convention. The
Eastman Times then furnished the Conven
tion with a Him, which was sufficient to give
the Convention a feast of humor and tun.
We dont know what would have becouffe of
the Eastman Times, if it had not been sup
ported in its most trying hour -by the San-
dersviHe Herald and Monroe Advertiser. Its
Ham would probably have been “euchred
if it had not held to these, its right and left
bower. The Convention adjourned on Fri
day morning to meet in Atlanta, on Tuesday,
in accordance with an invitation to the Con-_
vention from Gov. Smith, to meet in Con
vention with the. Governors’ Convention, in
behalf of the Great Western Cana! On . the
second day of the session, the Waynesboro
Expositor made its appearance before the
ConVention, and from this we may say that
we had a rather late Frost. ' R.
We clip the following from the Savannah
News: Last Friday evening a fatal diflieulty
oecurred in Montgomery county at the resi
dence of Mr. Ira Browning, which resulted
in the death of his son. It appears that Silas
Browning and his nephew, John L. Brown
ing, bad Ik quarrel on their way from the rail
road station, and on arriving at Ira Brown
ing’s house, it was renewed, but the latter
prevented them fiom fighting for some time.
Finally, however, the parties came together
and Silas stabbed John L. ip the neck, cut
ting his jugular vein, from which he bled to
death in a short time. Warrants have been
issued for the arrest of the killer.
Last Week’s Cotton Figures.—The Finan
cial and Commercial Chronicle reports re
ceipts at all ihe ports for the seven days end
ing last Friday night 16th instant, at 41,031
bales against 43,770 bales last week, 48,046
bales the previous week and 46,373 bales three
weeks since, making total receipts 6ince the
first of September, 1872, 3.342,974 bales
against 2,615,595 bales for the same period 6f
1871-72, showing an increase since Septem
ber 1, 1872, of 727,379 bales.
The receipts at the interior ports for the
week were 8,527bales, against 4^243 last year.
The shipments were 13,940 against 5,929, and
the stocks on hand Friday night aggregated
73.042 bales against 36,438 last year.
The Chronicle’s table of visible supply foots
up 2,554,980 bales, against 2,450,571—show
ing an increase of 104,409 bales.
The weather reports speak of rains univer
sally—in the Southwest and Montgomery
and Selma of too much rain, and generally of
two to three days’ of rain throughout the cot-
tou region. The cotton stand is said to he
pretty good generally, but the accounts are
somewhat conflicting.
The continued heavy reeiepts of cotton—al
most a hundred per cent, in excess-of last
y ear __has put us all at fault, and set us afloat
on a sea of speculation. We have last ThufoJ
day 3,34,974 bales so far received. More than
three months yet to elapse in the cotton year,
and the croji still coming forward at the rate
of forty thousand bales a week. The crop of
1872 3, therefore, trill probably be between
thirty-seven and thirty-eight hundred thous
and hales.
California Sms.—Ban Francisco, May 15.—
The Annual meeting of the Silk Assocation
of America was held yesterday. Rqports were
read containing interesting information re
garding the progress of the silk industry, the
inaccuracies of the census statistics and the
great prospect of the trade- The reports
showed that the Association is firmly estab
lished and in a flourishing condition.
Greensboro, Redfield, Crawfordville, Bairds-
fown, Woodville and Antioch. .
Ample preparation had been made, by the
Union Point School, and tho good people
round about, in the beautiful dense grove in
front of the large Methodist Church, (the
outer wall of which had been handsomely
decorated by the gentle hands of the ladies
with sweet odored flowers, and evergreens
for the occasion) for the comfortable seating
and entertainment of the large number of
visitors that were expected. Quite an exten
sive platform, too, was erected which was to
serve as a Stage, where the different schools
were expected to entertain the public with
singing and music on the Organs, a couple
being provided. '
Then, as for arrangements, about 7 cf clock
on Saturday morning the schools began to
arrive, the one from Greensboro being first,
the others coining in directly, the grove round
about the Depot here was soon made to re
sound with the merry voices of many sweet,
little, happy boys and girls. The last school
having arrived, they were all joined b}’ the
Union Point School, and marched in proces
sion about a quarter of mile to the church
where all would unite to promote the inter
est of the Sabbath school causo.
By actual count I learn that the procession
numbered over 1000, while not rnoro than
half in attendance were in the procession.
Each scholar being comfortably seated to its
elf, printed programmes for the day were
now distributed freely among the schools
and visitors, and the Union Point School
proceeded to occupy the Stage and burst
forth in a song of welcome, which was follow
ed by an appropriate greeting address, from
Mr. J. F. Heart, in behalf of the Union
Point School and its friends. All tho schools
then united in a select song or two which
being accompanied by the Organ, was sweet
beyond discription. I so much wish the
Sandersville School had been here, and all
persons else who love the Sabbath School
cause.
The other schools now in turn occupied
the Stage and each made a happy entertain
ment of the large, and handsome audience
by similar exercises to these through, which
the first school had gone.
The brave little, youthful Orators acquitod
themselves well? I assure yon, which was
evidenced by the hearty cheers bestowed up
on them from time to time by the audience,
and the number of bouquets dashed upon
their heads and at their feet at the termina
tion of their truly entartaining omtioss.
Thus passed the morning. Then came the
refreshments which, I will simply state, were
delicious in the superlative degree,
No people, than these hereabout, know
better, I wiil venture to say, how to fix up a
good dinner for an occasion like this.
The afternoon public exercises were mis
cellaneous, into which speech making by
those of. riper years, and' singing by the
Penfield school, entered promiscouly.
Thus passed, at Union Point, Saturday,
the tenth day of May, 1873, whichjis indelli-
bly stamped upon the memory of hundreds
of dear little children of both sexs, and
hundreds more of grown up men and women.
Our hearts are happier for its coming and the
Sabbath School cause is made more glorious.
Respectfully,

No. 13, C. R. R., May 18th, 1873.
Editors Herald:—During the past week it
has been my fortune to see much of the crops
having traveled the Central Railroad from
Savannah to Augusta, Macon and Eatonton.
There is a good prospect for large crops, more
especially cotton, which looks finely. The
most of it is being chopped and plowed. Un
fortunately hut little corn seems to have been
plauted again this year, hut what the writer
observed looked especially well.
At Eatonton on Thursday last, there was
a very heavy hail storm accompanied with
severe wind and followed by a beatin
doing considerable damage to crops, and
playing havoc with the gardens.
Will write yon again sometimes,
