—Gen. Ilußcse defended the negro

rior court last week, and saved his
neck.
—The wind blew a gale? all day last
Monday, and the dust flew in bliuding
clouds; and to add to all this it was
quite a warm day.
Rev Mr.. George and wife 'returned
here Tuesday from Madison, aud wo
are glad to know, will make their fu
ture home in our town.
—ln front of the Methodist church
the street has been run in sufficiently
for a few vehicles to stand without
blocking up the street.
—The smallest telegraph operator
we have ever known was here this
week, temporarily filling the place
of our regular operator.
—We have been shown quite an an
tiquated sheet which was published in
this place in 1817. It is about 12x17
inches, and uses fs for s’s.
—Married in Danburg, Sunday
morning the 9th. Mr. John W. Sal
mons and Miss Mattie \V. Sessions,
Rev. J. H. Fortson cffleiatlng.

his back yard is such a rendezvous for

—A gentleman who boards at the
Washington hotel and puts peoples
pianos in first-class order, went to
Danburg Monday with an alpaca coat
on. He returned Wednesday, but tie
didn't-come mith a fan in bis band
by any means. ,
—The fair held by our Catholic
friends In Stumraers hall Tuesday
and Wednesday night, was a fine suc
cess. The arrangement of the fancy
articles was very beautiful and attrac
tive, and the good things with which
the tallies were weighted were de
licious.
—Tlie.e is a negro man in this place
who was born the day Fort Sumpter
fell in 1801, and named Sumpter In
honor of that fort. Otherwise than in
destroying a large quantity of what the
Good Templars have put their ban
upon, lie lias never added notoriety
to the name.
—Since the trees have put out tiieir
leaves the main street of the town
looks more beautiful than ever before.
Wben the trees will have attained
tbeir growth this street will be as
pretty as any in this state. The won
der is that these trees were never
planted out before.
—There are four farmers in th s
county who will make twelve thous
and bushels of oats each, and perhaps
there are others who will make as
much. At the average price of 66
cents this would bring to each one of
those farmers SB,OOO. This year bids
fair to be a fine year for small grain
and Wilkes county has had the good
fortune to strike the season amidships.
—We ari sorry to know that a
limb|fell on Mr. Alex Smith’s head oe
Wednesday, and caused a bad wound.
He was cutting down a tree at the
time the accident occurred
and saw the limb failing, but
in looking after his chil
dren who were near by, failed to get
out of the way in time. The wound
bled very profusely, but is not a very
serious one
—At the Magruder mines in the
edge of this county a real bonanza has
been found. Bonanza is a Spanish
word and literally translated ;meins
rich silver vein, and that is just
what is now interesting them most
at the above named mines. Ths vein
Just found is four and a half feet wide,
and assays $150.00 la silver to the ton,
besides other baser metals. The crude
ore is being shipped off in large quan
tities to be smelted.
—The young darkies about
here had their usual Easter Monday
picnic last Monday; and also the usual
free fight at the same time and plane.
'As a consequence there are six or
eight youag negro men who are now
missing. It Is not supposed that they
have been killed and thrown In the
river; but the trouble is they are new
hiding out from the law. Nelthery
party of the combatants is willing to
risk its case before the courts, and we
suppose one side is as guilty as the
other.
—Sam Davis, who was sent to the
penitentiary last year for stealing
Judge Wingfield’s cattle, writes backs
from Cedartowu that he is well and
doing welt. Heseuds his love to many
people at home, and he evidently
thinks it is valuable; tor he says,“give
my love to Mr. Hubbard and tell him
to send me some money: give my love
to Mr. Adams and tell him to send me
some money: give my love to Mars
Charles (Judge Wingfield) and tell
him to be show to Eend me some
money too.”
—There were many people from the
country at the dedication laet Sunday.
Maj. Bulbus and his friends came out
strong: and so fur as we have yet
heard, every man of them was invited
to dinner. It seemed that a special
committee had been appointed for this
hospitality; for the Major himself re
ceived seventeen invitations, lie ac
cepted ten of these right straight along
without showing a sign of breaking
down, but at the eleventh, he said he
could staud no further piling Ossa
upon Pelion—the agony was too great.
Death of Alims Sara Smith.
This estimable lady died at the resid
ence of Mr. Lorenzo Smith in this
place, last Monday, after a long illness
from paralysis. She was remarkable
for her gentle Christian spirit, and
has now gone to reap the reward cj
the righteouj.
la Afcmoriam.
Died at his home, in Washington
on the evening of the S;h inst, or par
alysis, Hon. Samuel W. Wynn, in
the 67th year of his age. He was
barn in Wilkes county, where he ev
er lived, an honored aud useful citi
zen. The greator part of his life was
spent at “Waverly,” his country seat,
near the home ef his childhood, on
Broad river. For the past twelve .years
lie lias resided in Washington.
His happy traits of personal charac
ter, made him as irreslstable, as the
magnet to the needle. To know the
man was truly te love him. Public
spirited, was deeply Interested in and
gave liberally to all enterprises for the
good ot town or county. Charitable,
the poor bad in him a friend in deed,
of superior judgment, and thoroughly
practical, was eminently successful in
all bis varied undertakings. Kind,
thoughtful, generous, he endeared
himself to all of every condition with
whom l>e came in contact, and not a
few thers be, who will sigh.
••Ob; for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still.”
Language fails to convey a proper
appreciation of such a man.
‘•Hallowed the spot where the good man sleeps;
Hallowed the tears which affection weeps:
Hallowed the life in its influence sweet;
Hallowed the death which believers meet;
Hallowed the man we all zdoro;
Hallowed his spirit forever more.”
His memory needs no monument.

I Death of a Former Citizen.
Adam L. Alexander breathed his last
at his home in Augusta, last Sunday
moruing, being in the eightieth year
of his age; and all that was mortal of
this noble man was brought here aad
buried in the family burying ground
last Monday afternoon.
He-liyed in Washington nearly all
his life, haying meved to Augusta not
many years ago. His character was
•f the highest order known among
men aord in all points beautiful aud
symetneal. A mau of rare interlect
ualability, he weiled a beneficent in
fluence in our community that will
outlast the marble shaft that markes
his last resting place. He lived to
honor and to bless, and the ennobling
characteristics that so marked the
lives of himself and the family he
reared in our midst, have given great
distinction to the town. His remark
able mind was in fall vigor up to the
hour of his death.
His sons are General E. P. Alexan
der late of Augusta, but now ef Louis
ville. Ky.;Major W. F. Alexander aud
Mr. J. H. Alexander, of Augusta, and
Mr. Chas. Alexander, of Washington,
Ga. and his daughters are Mrs. Gen. A.
C. HaskelofCelumbia;Mrs. Gen. A. R.
Lawton, Mrs. Gen. J. F. Gilmer and
Mrs. Cumming, of Savanuah; Mrs.
Geo. G. Hull, of New York, formerly
of Augusta,and Mrs. Dr. W. E. Boggs
of Altanta.all ef whom surrounded
his dying bed, and followed his re
mains to the grave.
Dedication.
The dedication of the new Methedist
church took place last Sunday in the
presence of a large congregation that
completely filled the building. Bishop
Pierce preached a magnificent sermon
that made its impress on almost every
heart. It was a great occasion, and
will long be remembered.
‘‘The Leader of Low Frl.cz."
Mr. James A. Benson is truly that
man. Why, we walked in his store
yesterday morning for a big advertise
ment, and he was so beseiged with
drummers that he only had time
to write the few significant words
which you will flrd in another col
umn. He does such a fine business
and sells such a tremendous amount
of goods that the large wnelesale
houses all over the United States vie
with ench other in selling to him.
His tiade being so sought after of
course he has every advantage in pur
chasing. Thus is our genial friend
and enterprising merchant enabled lo
become a leader of low prices. We
are proud of the standing of our Wash
ington merchants in all the public
marts of the land, anil no mail has
done more toward keeping up the rec
ord than Mr. Benson. Long may he
live to honor the town and the mer
cantile business.
Let ft Be Known.
The three great requisites to success
in business are keeping the best goods,
putting the prices at reasonable fig
ures and letting these tilings be
known to the public. Under these
circumstances a man could never fail
to succeed; and if there is a man in
Georgia who complies strictly with
these rules it is G. O. Robinson, of
Augusta. Asa consequenco be Is
eminently successful, having won the
golden opinions of the thousands of
people all over the South to whom be
has sold his magnificent musical in
struments. He makes his business
thesludy of his life, and no man
kt.ows more about instruments than
he does. Long established he delights
in the permanancy of a trade that is
built upon the highest esteem ot the
people for liis fair dealing, and all
who buy from him have the full as
surance that they are getting the best
instruments tlie money will buy.
The Old Reliable.
One or the most delightful places to
buy dry goods of every description in
the fine old city of Augusta, is the old
reliable house of James Miller. Many
of the choicest goods brought to that
market, ornament his shelves and
counters. For eaiisfacty dealing he
can not be surpassed in this or any
other state. Every one who buys from
him feels perfectly assured that all
goods are exactly what they are ex
pected to be, und this is ou of the
many things that always attract peo
ple to his store. Being thoroughly
versed iu his business lie is enabled to
buy goods to great udvantuge, and he
sells them correspondingly low. With
reliable goods ut low figures, und the
most courteous attention, buyers can
not find a more desirable pUca for flue
dry goods in all ibis country, than
James Miller’s, in Augusta. See his
advertisement.
