House Breaking.—The Confectionery o
Mr. William Gullaher was broken into on
Monday night, an entrance being effeclel
through a back window. The objest of the
thief or thieves was evidently to get money,
as nothing was taken save a little change left
in the drawer and some fruit. Tortunately
hut little cash was left in the store.
O
Smash Up.—On Saturday last, while the
Hack was standing at the Methodist Parson
age gate, the driver having gone into the
house to get a trunk, the horses ran off.^ In
flight the Hack collided with a wagon driv
en by Green Chester, freedman, demolish
ing the wagon, and running over him. The
horse attached to the wagon of course took
flight and ran off with the front portion of
the wagon—the only part that was in a trav
eling condition. TL»o Hack was suddc-nlj
brought to a halt by coming in contact with
a tree in front of the Baptist churcn, upset,
the tongue breaking, but otherwise not seri
ously damaged. Fortunately there was no
one in the. Hack at the time of the accident.
The driver, Henry Eubanks, is so very care
ful, generally, that we are certain no blame
can be attached to him.
Hambies in the Country.
Sandersville, Ga., Jan. 13th, 1874.
Editors Herald Allow me a short space to
give a brief account of a few days ramble in
.he eastern portion of our country. In com
pany with three young friends, we left our
town on Thursday evening to attend a party
at Mr. E. B. Dudley’s. It was one of the
most pleasant occasions of the kind that your
correspondent has attended in manv Tears
We arrived at Mr. Dudley’s a little after dark,
and the dancing had already commenced, but
we were not long in forming the acquaintance
of several young ladies, and we were soon
enraptured with the merriment of the eve-
ning.
About 9 o’clock the music stopped, and the
whole party were invited in to supper. I
will not attempt to give a description of the
table, for it would be impossible. There was
everything for which the most fastidious could
wish, from a roast pig to the finest of pastry.
Judging by the way the party disposed of the
substnntials of life, yVar correspondent would
say that all enjoyed the feast to their fullest
capacity.
After supper, the dance was resumed and
it was kept up till the. next morning. All
who would, were invited to remain to break
fast. and of course I remained, for I am not
a man to allow a good opportunity at a warm
breakfast pass by unimproved. Just here al
low me to return thanks to Mr. Dudley and
his excellent wife for the kind and hospitable
manner in which they treated our little par
ty. Your correspondent can assure them
that he will long remember the first day of
•January, 1874. Allow me also to return our
thanks to Mr. Zach Brantley, and others, for
favors shown us.
:• 1 ring Mr. Dudley’s we went to Da-
,boro. where we met that “Prince of Good
; t-llov.-s. ' Mr. Abe Henman ; he vs engaged
t, veiiandizing-ftt that place, and is doing
u uu: business. If you should ever have the
good luck to fall into his care, you will neyer
regret it.
After leaving Davisboro we went to Eiddle-
viile. and from there we rode over to Mr. Wm.
Francis, where we passed a night. Here your
correspon lent desires to say that lie found
one of the finest farms he has seen in the
county. There seems to be a place for eve
rything, and everything is in its place. Mr.
F. is what we would call a first class farmer.
There are but few, if any, better.
After par taking of a good breakfast we
turned our steeds in the direction of home,
and after having been gone three days, we
arrived at home again, safely an d soundly,
and to express the sentiments of our little
crowd, we never spent a more pleasant time.
Dear Herald, it would make you feel proud
if you could only see how eager the planters
in that section are to get your paper. I hap
pened to be at the Tost Office when it arrived,
and to judge from the earnest manner in
which they scanned its columns, it is certain
ly a very popular paper in that section.
Hoping you will pardon me for being so
lengthy, I will close by saying, more anon.
Respectfully,
Rambler.

Gen. J. E. Johnston’s Book.—We received a
call on Tuesday last from Mr. Joseph H. Wil
son, Agent for the counties of "Washington,.
Jefferson and Bibb, for tbe sale of Gen. Jo
seph E. Johnston’s great book, “Narrative of
Military Operations,” during tbe late war.
This is a book that should be in every libra
ry, especially at tbe South. It is the only
authentic and reliable history of the opera
tions of the arms of the North and South that
lvas, or probably ever will be published. It
is handsomely illustrated w ith steel engrav
ings of distinguished officers of both amies,
beautifully printed and substantially bound.
Price, $5, $6, $7.50, according to style of
binding. Mr. Wilson will be in tbe .county
in a few weeks, for tbe purpose of receiving
subscriptions. Remember, this book cannot
be bought at a book-store, hence, all who
desire it would do well to subscribe) for it
when Mr. Wilson comes round. Subscrip
tions will also be received at the Herald Of
fice. The book will be out about the first of
February.
O
Bear in mind that in ordering tbe Herald
some cash must accompany the order. We
know that times are very hard, and we in
tend to be as accommodating as our circum
stances will permit. Fifty cents will pay for
the paper for throe months, one dollar for six
months, and two dollars for one year. The
same amount of good reading matter cannot
be bought in any other form for that sum of
money. We give, during the year, at least
450 columns of good family reading matter,
carefully selected, to say nothing of editorials
communications, news items trom ail over
the worl 1. marriages, deaths, advertisements,
marke's, e!c., all for the pitiful sum of two
dollars. An.l by the help of a higher power,
w - shall strive to make the Herald for 1874
just as good as it can be. Its circulation has
already reached over 2,000 copies weekly,
„nd we hope to make it 3,000 before the year
closes.
O
Mr. Richard Tanner has our thanks for a
sample of very superior ribbon cane svrnp,
made upon his farm. From the product ol
one-fourth ot an acre, Mr. Tanner made 120
gallons of svrnp of excellent quality. Vari
ous experiments have proved this to be one
of the most profitable crops that can be
"rown upon our soil; and yet, strange to say,
but few of our people plant it. What folly
to pay out money for an article of every day
consumption, when the same—and of better
quality—can be produced at home' with less
expense. But then, you know, ’taint cotton.
O
An entertainment or exhibition will be
given at the Christian church in this city on
next Thursday night, for the benefit of the
church. A small sum will be charged for
admission and we hope there may be a full
attendance. A pittance from each one will
not affect any person as a loss, yet the aggre
gate may do much good for the church and
the canse of religion and morality. Come
one, come all!
O
We are glad to know that Mr. James T.
Tapper, one of the best Blacksmiths in Geor
gia, has removed to Sandersville, and will
open a shop in this city. We want just as
many good mechanics here as are disposed
to come. ’Tis this class of people who build
up villages, towns and cities. One good me
chanic is worth fifty loafers,
o—
William Laseteb, colored, a brick mason
working upon the Academy building, fell the
other day, while engaged in his work, re
ceiving painful (at the time) but not serious
injuries. He is improving, so Mr. Swan in
forms ns, and will be able to resume work in
a few days.
