Tea berry Newberry. Balance all!
The tombstone over a lady'* grave In
Dawaon was levied on la*t week. That
in wbat may be called running the law
into the ground.
Tha Washington branch doea not now
eonneet witb the faat train on the Geor
gia railroad.
An Irwinton negro, who wua senteno
ed to aix yi are in the |>euileiiti*ry, got
■o aorry about it that lie went crazy.
A Terrel ooHnty darkey, who careieae
ly allowed hi* mule to get crippled, wan
hiuirelf hitched to the cotton planter by
hia employer and had to atop along pret
ty lively (or the Iml a nee of the day.
A atrange woman carrying a child in
hfer arm* asked lodging of a resident o'
Gordon lost week, and daring the night
absconded, leaving the iufaut to the
merey of strangers.
It is stated that Kiokee Baptist cbnrch
in Terrell county, has 1,200 members,
and an enthnsioatlo editor points to a
colored church in Lee county which has
between 8,000 ami 4,000 members.
There is something in a name, after
all. The Sheriff of Clarke county has
lost hia religion trying to caloh a colored
inhabitant named Andrew Jackson, who
is charged witb illegal votting. Ho ar
rested five of that name before he got the
right one.
On Saturday last Mr. Henry Little, of
Sandersville, while examining a cotton
planter, was painfully wounded in the
shoulder by a stray rifle ball. No sound
of a gun was heard, but Little would
give a good deal to know where that bul
let oama from.
Judge Green Brmitley, aged 80 years,
and Miss Bessie King, aged 14 years,
both of Washington county, were mar
ried lust week. December and May are
laid in the shade. Georgia oomrs to the
front with the happy union of Christmas
and New Year.
A Washington correspondent, who pro
fesses to know wherof ho speaks, says
that os noon as tile Departments are
properly systematized, the President will
proceed to overhaul the office-holders in
the South, and predicts that nearly a
clean sweep of the present incumbents
will be the result.
At ■ reoent term of tho Superior Court
•t Perry, this State, a negro plead klep
tomania ss a defence under a charge of
burglary. This is the first instance of
the kind on reoord, aud its novelty and
the mi liguant type of the diaeoao so im
preaaed the oourt and jury that the
prisoner was given twenty-four years in
the penitentiary to get well.
Paraaida Morria, a colored sohoot
marm, of Bulls county, has been arrest
ed for charging the oounty for twelve
more pupils thau attended her school.
This oveY-sight of Paraaida may have
•roused the indignation mentioned, but
in our opiuiou her name is the principal
cause of her troubles.
News oonoeruiug the threatened war
between Great Britain aud Russia is very
unsatisfuolory. Both nations are ostens
ibly anxious for peaoo, but those who
are well versed in the arts and decep
tions of European diplomacy assert that
tho present lull is only the oslrn that
pieoeeds the storm. In the meautime
both governments are making the most
active aud extensive preparations. A
few more days will doubtless decide the
quasticn, and another week may usher
iu one of the meat gigantic and disas
trous conflicts of modem times.
A Taylor oounty farmer reoently
plowed up a brass button wbieh bad up
on it the date 1781, Mrs. Turner, of
Butts county, offsets this ancient relie
by producing a pair of scissors which
have been in the Turner family for more
than a hundred years. The bludes,
originally seven inches in longth, have
been worn down to less thau three iu
ebea. But Mr. Reckuer. of Dalton,
eolipaes both of these antiquated relies
with a coin 786 years old. The unesrth
iug of these remarkable inataueea of
longevity allow tho reckless enterprise
of Georgia editara.
Friday last was iu truth n Black Fri
day for malefactors, no le6a than seven
having that day forfeited their lives for
murder in different States of the Uuiou.
Maine furnished two. New Hampshire 1,

Our correspondent from “Between the
Ditches" informs the Journal of a very
aad accident which occurred on the plan
tation of Mr. R. H. Chappelear, in Jef
feison county, on the 31st ultimo. Mrs.
Win. Taylor, while dipping cow food
from a boiling pot, had her clothing to
take fire, aud was terribly burned. She
lived until the 14th instant, when she
died. Mrs. Taylor had been mum cl
ouly about one year, aud leaves a young
husband and one little oliitl, together
with mauy relatives aud friends to
luourn her sad death.
The greatest surprise of tho week is
the euuoHooemi-Bt vbat the condition of
Gen. Graut is much improved, aud that
strong hopes arc uow entertained of his
ultimate restoration to health. His dis
ease, which the learned doctors have all
the while pronounced cancer of the
mouth, has turned out to be merely ol
ivixlel Miie throat, winch is expected to
j yield to medical treatment in a abort
; time. A visit to California and a summer
jaunt to the mountains have already
been arranged for the distinguished
j patient. Iu the meantime those eoter
j prising journalists, who bad already pre
| pared lengthy obituaries of the ex-Pres
ident, witb detailed accounts of his
doth and burial, are busy distributing
type and swearing at their bad luck.

Again I come to the front to contrib
ute a few items to the noble old Jol'R
nat,. Home time has elapsed since my
last contribution, and I fear I have al
most forgotten the knack of writing; but,
by wav of preface, I will remind our
readers of that time-honored maxim,
' '‘Blessed are they who expect nothing,
i for ttiey shall not be disappointed.”
Trickara is on a business boom, and
! her live merchant, Mr. J. W. Thomp
son, is making things lively witb his
hard-limes prices.
Several of oar farmers have invested
in new cotton planters, and, from pres
ent indications, large crops will bo pat
in.
My advice to Bro. "Keener” is to be
moae careful next time, or "she” may
get drowned.
There have lieen mere April fools this
year than ever before. It seems like the
people are nearly ail fools.
Ben Reese lias a bad attack of nup
tial fever and wants to attend Woodlawu
Academy, under the impression that that
is a medical institution or hospital. He
thinks that there is at least "one” there
who is skilful in curing such amphibi
ous complaints as bis.
One of tha most extensive fires I have
ever witnessed occurred in this section
last Saturday. About 200 acres of land
were burnt over, and much timber aud
fencing destroyed.
Cotton (flouting is the occupation of
our peuplo during the day aud fishing at
night.
Mosena may boost of her eloquent edi
tor aud talk of her fine babies, bnt, upon
investigation, we fiud that her editor is
not such a great man after all, for lie
has to get another editor to do his pres
sing.
Mr. Lum Langford received nn April
fool which changed his name to "Lune.”
Wonder what ull this means.
We would have dearly liked to have
been one of that fortuuat* party who
formed the company of the “Kuto
Curtis” on her voyage to the Laud of
Flowers. Of oourse wo will expect full
iicconntH of her departure from Thorn
sou on Monday, amt all of her move
ments and adventures, in our own paper,

Small grain iu this eeotion is looking
well, and, if nothing nnfore-een pre
vents, a larger crop than was expected.
Fair Hill has been changed to "Swin

We would bo glad to bear from Miss
"A." ofleuer. Wo hope she will not lay
aside her editorial pou so soon,
Bro. Frank McCarty is attending Prof.
Stone’s High Soliool at Brinkley Acade
my, and expects to become a minister
ufter his education is finished. May
God crowu his labors with success is our
prayer.
, Our Sunday School at this plaoe is
uot as flourishing as it should be. We
hope everybody will realize ite impor
tance and will corns and briug the little
ones, ami aid us witb their presence aud
their pooketbooks. Our Superintendent
says chat, to oarry on a Sunday School
successfully, requires three large “G's” :

Cotton planting is the order of the
day, and farmers are driving ahead with
their business.
Crows and bud- worms are destroying
much of tho young ooru iu this section.
Mr. G. W. Howurd, whoso illness I
have heretofore announced, is still quite
siok.
Mr. W. J. Norton will soon have hia
new Btore house ready for use.
Misbehavior at ohuroli and disrespeot
for God's sanctuary should be übhored
by every well-bred young lady and gen
tleman iu the oouutry. Several Sundays
ago a young mau who attended the
Baptist church in this place, so far for

of the beuolies by smeariug blood upou
it.

The adjourn*! term of Warren Superior

Another day should have boen fixed, or the

It is stated that the Grand Jury for the
adjourned term was revised because (lie
J udge and Solicitor wauled to see if they
could possibly get a belter to*,king jury in
the county. But I think it is doubtful.
Messrs. T. O. Newton aud M. \V. Arnold

I have a littte daughter seven year* old.
who for the last four year* has been afflict
ed with a peculiar akin eruption on the
face and one hand. I have tried Heven or

Fortunately, 1 saw a statement in a St.
Paul, Minn., paper, of a cure of a disease
similar to that of my child. It was affected
by Swift’s Hpecific. I eecured six bottles
and commenced giving to my liitle girl. Iu

which had baffled all the known remedies
within reach, began to disappear. Hhe has
