Shocking Accident.
We clip the following article from the
Covington Enterprise of June 6th. It relates
a sad and fatal accident which befell the little
son of Col. H. D. Capers. COL Capers is
well and favorably known to many of our
readers here and elsewhere, and we publish
it as a matter of sad interest:
On Wednesdaj- morning last this communi
ty was startled by the announcement that lit
tle Cahrlie Memmingee, son of Col. H. D.
Capebs, of Oxford, had been accidentally shot
through the head, with a pocket pistol, and
was in a very critical condition. Col. Capebs,
who was in Covington at the time the acc.i-%
dent occurred, hastened home with all possi
ble speed, but only reached there to find his
darling boy in the agonies of death, but a
few minutes before his angel-spirit took its
flight from earth. He was between four and
five years of age, and died in about two hours
after receiving the fatal shot. It seems he
had gotten hold of a small pocket pistol be
longing to his elder brother, and, in his child
ish glee, said he “was going to fight the
Modocs,”and not knokwingitto be loaded,
was snapping it. when,in an unlucky moment,
it fired—the ball taking effect in the right
side of his head, causing death in about two
hours. He was a most intelligent and re
markably bright boy for his age, and the pride
and i dol of his father’s heart. That he should
be thus suddenly snatched away from his de
voted parents, is a most crushing affliction ;
and we extend to them our earnest, heart
felt sympathy, in this their sad bereavement
And just here we would remind parents of
fearful responsibility of allowing fire-arms in
the house where children may possibly get
hold of them. It is too late to take warning
after your child may have paid the penalty
of your negligence with its precious young
life. The funeral of little Charlie took place
in Oxford, yesterday' morning at 10 o’clock.
We take pleasure in directing the atten
tion of our readers this week to the card of
of the Eastman Atlanta Business College,
under Messrs. Detwiler & Magee. These
gentlemen are thorough in their business at
tainments, and are gentlemen. They were
formerly instructors in the Eastman Business
College in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. We know
Prof. Afagee personally, and we believe that
in Penmanship he cannot be surpassed in
America. During our recent visit to Atlanta,
we went through the College, and from our
observation we feel assured that it is a worthy
institution, and we take pleasure in recom
mending it to parents who have soup to whom
they would like to give a business education.
Those who wish to become proficient in
the ■‘tart preservative of all arts” cannot do
better than to receive instructions from Prof,
Magee. Those who wish to receive instruc
tion in the theory and practice of business
can do so under Prof. Detwiler of the Theo
ry and Actual Business Department ef the
College.
It is particularly interesting io visit the
College and see the young men there busy at
their desks, as if they were in real counting
rooms and stores of their own, and it is this
that makes the college duties so entertaining,
while it is at the same time instructive, to
the young men. Another very entertaining
feature to the visitor there, is to observe the
many fine pictures hung round the wall,
which were executed by Prof. Magee, entirely
with a steel pen, and they certainly evince
an artistic skill and taste, which cannot be
surpassed anywhere. The most noticeable
among these is a very large picture in an
elegant frame. At the top in beautiful gild
ed letters, are the words “Eastman Business
College.” On the left center, as you face tiie
picture, is a likness of Gen. Geo. Washing
ton, and on the left is his farewell address in
very’ elegant and fine handwriting. On the
right center is a splendid likeness of Gen.
R. E. Lee, with his farewell address to his
army, on the right. Juat beneath the picture
of Washington is a piece of poetry dedicated
to the “Father of his Country” and just
under the picture of Gen. Lee is a piece
■of poetry inscribed to the “Hero of the Lost
Cause.” . In the eenter of the ground is the
08th District, )
Washington County, Ga., June 3, ”13. f
Editors Herald: There was a grand gaily of
the Planters of this District on the 26th of
last month, at Hebron, counseling together
and looking after their peculiar interest—
After consultation they resolved upon uni
ting themselves and their fortunes with the
order known as the Patrons of Husbandry,
believing it to be the only organization of
Planters that promises to secure to them
their legitimate rights and proper position
among mankind.
The drooping spirits of Planters, caused
by repeated disappointment in crops or pri
ces, and also by the formidable array of spec
ulators, makes it necessary that some active
movement should be made to rescue this un
fortunate class of our people, and adopt some
means of fostering their interests. Hence
they are seizing thd formidable and favorable
odportnnity of uniting themselves together
under the banner of the Patrons of Husband
ry, nnd yesterday were organized into a
Grange, to be known as Hebron Grange, with
the following officers:
E. W. Jordan, Master.
W. H. Armstrong, Overseer.
F. J. Peason, Lecturer.
S. M. Gilmore, Steward.
J. T. Smith, Assistant Steward.
J. C. Pace, Chaplain.
H. P. Barksdale, Treasurer.
S. Prince, Secretary.
W. A. Smith, Gate Keeper.
Mrs. F. J. Pearson, Ceres..
“ J. T. Smith, Pomona.
“ J. C. Whitaker, jr., Flora.
“ H. P. Barksdale, Assistant Lady
Steward. •
Intending to do their part in fostering that
grand and gigantic movement, our people
will find it necessary to establish these
Granges in different parts of the county—
Warthen’s Store, No. 12J and No. 14, C. R.
R. —that their orders for supplies, etc., may
recieve the impress of the seal that accompa
nies all Granges and is respected by Pat
rons throughout the United States.
This grand movement of the Planters is
the only one that ever promised a successful
combination of their interests, and if they
w ill but be true to thej aselvespts fruits will be
enjoyed by every tiller of the soil. And a
success to the husbandman makes glad not
only himself hut every class of our people.
In addition to this grand and progressive
advance made at Hebron, the occasion waS
made doubly interesting to our people by
the polite, and gentlemanly Agent of the
Buck Eye Bee Hive, who discoursed on boos,
honey, and his Hive, much to the gratifica
tion and edification of our people. After
which he transferred a swarm of bees from
the ordinary and old style hive to the Buck
Eye, which was very interesting as well as
very instructive to all of us. The fruits of
this visit of the aforesaid Agent to Hebron
will be seen at our July Fair, if successful,
by tbe exhibition of the samples of the hon
ey as also the hive; and it may be, if suffi
cient inducement is offered by the Fair As
sociation, a hive with bees and honey too
may be exhibited.
The Agricultural Society have determin
ed by a unanimous vote to compete at the
State Fair in Macon, beginning on tbe 27th
of October next, for one of those handsome
prizes of $1,000, $500, $300 and $200. Now
to compete successfully it will require the
full and earnest co-operation of every inter
est in the county. So let us unite as broth
ers in this laudable effort* determining if
defeated to fail with our faces to the front—
In this enterprise tie '98th promises to do
her duty. What District in the county will
not do theirs ? Du answer, the last one will,
and the result will T>o Washington will be
crowned with an honor worthy of her name.
Do not let her sacred name be tarnished
with defeat. We call upon those Planters
that produced such fine cotton to be certain
to be on hand. Those five and one hundred
dollar chances have never before been offer
ed to our people, and do not let this op
portunity go unimproved. Who will repre
sent the horse, cattle, sheep and swine de
partments? Who the poultry, who field
. Public Sleeting.
Editors Herald: By a notice posted at the
Court-house door, we observe that the Ordi
nary has ordered an election for Represen
tative to be held in this county on the 7th
day of July. In view of this then,, we think
it would be proper to,have a County Conven
tion, so we could have the voice of the peo
ple, and learn their will with regard to the
selection of a suitable man. We are not pre
disposed in favor of/any particular in an—
several good citizens have been mentioned for
the position—but we think it would be more
honorable, and the candidate would be moie-
honored, by tbe whole people coming i^eth
er and selecting some good, upright man, to
“stand for us” as a Representative in the
next session of the Legislature. Let us hon-'
or'our Representatives that they may reflect'
honor upon us.
With this view of the matter then, we take
the liberty to suggest that a Convention of
the oitizens of tbe county be held os the first
Tuesday in July, and let one good and true
man be nominated as the candidate. As it
is a busy season of the year, we propose-this
day because it is probable that a good many
will be in town on that day any way, and it
will be more convenient for them to hold a
convention then.
With our best wishes for the interests of
the people, we respectfully submit the above
suggestions. v Yours, Truly, .
Citizens.
Hon. R. R. Strange.
Editors Herald:. While the merits of several
citizens of our county, are being placed
before the public as suitable men to
represent us in the. Legislature, please- al
low us space to say u few words. We have
been unfortunate in the loss of a Representa
tive. This loss is to be replaced, and we
claim;—and justly, we think—that our sec
tion is intitled to name the candidate. It.is
only to fill an nnexpired term that we ask.—
Our section had not been represented for a
number of years, until the Delegates thought
proper to bestow that'honor upon ns by se
lecting Hon. W. G. MeBride. But we have
lost him, and we only want to fill out his
time with a man that will not only do credit
to his own section, but to the whole county.
One whom none can object to. A gjan of un
exceptionable character; - a man of true moral
worth, and a man that does not fear - to- con
tend for his rights.' ■ We do not say that he
is better qualified for the position than oth
er gentlemen who have been suggested, but
we do say that none could fill' the position
| better than Judge R. B. Steange. We write
this without his knowledge or authority, but
we know that if his friends elect him he will
not refuse to serve. Then let all center npon
the man at once, and do away with so much
office seeking. Oconee.
June 10, 1873.
Died, in Washington county on the 26th of
May, Chabi.es Edwabd Bbown, only son of
Jasper and Charity Brown, aged .1 year, 8
months and 26 days. He suffered three days
with dysentery, and three weeks with whoop
ing-cough. Death could not have placed his
cold arms around any gem of earth purer
than little Charlie. He could not have boro
his afflictions better had he lived to an old
age. His pure spirit has taken its flight to
a better world; gone to join the chorus of the
skies, which his sister Clara had joined near
three years beiore. Little Charlie could sing
some very sweet tunes on earth, hut still
sweeter is his tune now. The last tune he
sang was “Hosanna.” Little Charlie’s tongue
lisping “Hosanna, to nam ov dod,” (Hosan
na to the lamb of God) will long be remem
bered by those who heard him singing. Not
only could he sing the words hut hi? could
also carry the tune. Music too sweet for
earth; *twas needed in higher dimes. Look
up, fond parents, and strive to meet your
darling babe in the skies. Heavenly Father
bless all the bereaved parents in the land,
and help all to say with one voice, “Thy will
he done.” One who loved little Chaelie.
It is usual to eulogise the departed, dwell
upon their virtues and ignore all that is not
faultless. Mabt E. Cabb was born May 19,
1850, married to Stephen M. Gilmore Janu
ary 18, 1872, and died May 10, 1873.
In this short connubial life, Mollie endear
ed herself to every member of the family of
her tender and beloved husband, as she was
to her own family. If she was not fast to
win friends, she held them fast when won;
for she had no faults that would wean their
affection. If she made no display of her vir
tues, yet they were felt by all who were inti
mately acquainted with her, by her silent,
easy, yet anxious desire to please and not
wound.
The anxiety and tender attention of her
neighbors during her last illness, show how
highly she was esteemed, and have won the
lasting gratitude of her husband and their
connection. The void cannot he filled, and
her husband and friends have only the Chris
tian hope and consolation. I. h. g.

U. S. District Court—In Bankruptcy.
We copy the following from the Advertiser
and Republican of June 7. It may he of
some interest and benefit to some of our
readers who may he interested in cases in
Bankruptcy:
John F. Mills, bankrupt, vs. Reuben Mayo,
Sheriff of Washington county. Bill for in
junction to restrain the said Sheriff from sell
ing a certain tract of land levied on as the
property of the said bankrupt, the sale ad
vertised to come-off on the second day of
June.
The bill did not come - to hand until the
fourth day of June, therefore I decline to
entertain it for the purpose prayed for. A
writ of subpoena may issue, as of course, un
der the practice of the court, but no writ of
injunction will be awarded.
John Eusxine, U. S. Judge.
N.B.-Certificates of adjudication in volun
tary bankrupt cases must in all cases accom
pany the bill or petition asking for injunc
tion. The amount of the several executions
ought to be stated, as well as the respective
dates of tiie judgments. When real property
is levied on and an injuction is sought, the
language, used by the bankrput in his sched

bill of petition, that the Judge may see how
he returns it and by what title it is his prop

Gov. Grover, of Oregon, has requested that i
the captive Modocs be delivered to the civil
authorities of that State, to be tried for mur
der. The President, Secretary of the Inte
rior, and Gen. -Sherman, had a consultation,
and the question whether the Modocs shall
be tried by a military commission, or re
mitted to the civil authorities, was sub
mitted to the Attorney General for his opin
ion, which will govern the law in the case.
He gave a very lengthy opinion on the ques
tion and closes the opinion as follows :
My conclusion, therefore, is' that a mili
tary commission may be appointed to try
such of the Modoc Indians as are now in
custody, that are charged with offenses
against the recognized laws of war, and ' that
if. npon such trial any are found guilty they
may be subjected to. such punishment as
these laws may require or justify.
Capt Jack is confined and is very restless.
He is mad because Hooker Jim and Steam
boat Frank are permitted to ran at large and
carry arms. They have turned States evi
dence, and are helping to capture the rest of
the J/odocs. Dispatches <)f the 8th, state
the particulars of a most horrible murder of
the Modoc prisoners by some parties who,
it is supposed, were Oregon Volunteers.
Several of the Indians were killed, and
some wounded.
Gen. Davis, Captain Jack, and Sohonchin
had an interview, in which Capt Jack stated
that he was incited to his cruel warfare by
Allen Davis, chief of the Klamoths. He de

on his hoys.

Editors Herald: I send you a solution of
your Query. Negligence is the causeJ]of its
not making appearance before.
Suppose the three circles to be drawn tan
gent to one another, (the circles which the
sons owned) lines connecting their centers
will form the boundary of an equilateral tri
angle, which, by drawing lines to the points
of tangency, may be divided into four small
equal equilateral triangles. We will let X
denote the length of one of these sides.-
Having found area in terms of X of the small
equilateral triangles, and the sector of the
circle, we will have the segment equal to the
difference between them. Now the area of
one of these triangles, minus three times the
segment, is equal tp the father’s lot on which
he lived. Hence we find that the sons lived
15.74 chains apurt. The father had original
ly 96.21148 acres; each son had 19.4524 acres,
and lived 9.685 chains from their father.

ourselves, as it reflects some credit upon our
own city and county. Elder Harris is a na

Sallie, and they formerly lived in this city,
hence we think it is a matter in which we
may feel an honest and just pride. They
have a number of friends and relatives in
this comity who will be glad to learn of this
“brilliant “success” of Miss Sallie:

cation at Hope Institute, and bearing off the
first honor above all competitors. This was
no empty compliment, as out of the large
number of applicants only four were judged
by the learned Faculty to have attained the
graduating standard. We congratulate Miss
Sallie upon her honorable and brilliant suc

to her home in this city.

OBITUARY.
The Arkansas ..Radicals are discontented
because Gov. Baxter will not make his ap
pointments to suit them.
Martha Elizabeth Renfro*, daughter of
James F. and M. R. Northington, and wife
W. H. Renfroe, of Sanders ville, Ga, was
born October 10th, 1842, married June 14th,
1863, and died 14th May, 1873.
In her eleventh year she was happily con
verted to God, .and 23d September, at Bay
Spring, joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, under the pastorate of Rev.
Milton C. Smith. From that day of early
oon6ecration, her heart was fixed, and her
conduct in accord with the high claims of
Christianity. In the relations of danghter,
wife, mother, friend and neighbor, her ex
cellences of character shone forth full orbed;
and the manner and spirit in which she en
dured the trtals and performed the duties of
life ever distinguished her as a faithful dis
ciple of Jesus. The benediction of her pray
ers and pious example was a “savor of life”
unto her husband,—now, that she is gone, is
a priceless heritage to her orphaned little
ones. No marvel that her conflict closed in
triumph. Two hours before her death, while
in great physical pain, but with intellect un
clouded, she said to the writer: “I shall be
gone; but I feel God with me. Imperfect
and full of error as my life has been, I feel
that he . loves me. I trust in Him. His
grace supports and cheers me now.” Short
ly her spirit took its Highl and the smile of
peaceful triumph that lingered upon her
brow .witnessed to all. around bar peace of
soul in the expiring moment J" F. Mixon.
The Eastman Atlanta Busi
ness College.
This institution has achieved a success
which is unparalleled in the history of Com
mercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta, Ga.,
May 9th, 1871, with four students, it has al
ready sent out to the business world nearly
Three Hundred Students to attest its supe
rior merits. The secret of its wonderful suc
cess is, 1st, it is the only college in tbe South
that is conducted on the Actual Business
Plan. 2nd, it keeps up, to the letter of its
advertisements. 3d, it is conducted by men
who have had years of experience as practi
cal accountants, business men, and teachers.
The total cost for a full course, including
board, washing, tuition, books and station
ery, will not exceod $130. For specimens of
