EL'.fEUKST.—An ISAT* £IuTHSK-I»-
Liw Pursues the Flkii.no Couple, but
Arbivbi tk> Lit*.— Sun-Enquirer: From
(line iajD3oiMiil there have bean runa
way niatoae-. Too young folks must fall in
love sod are engaged, the parents protest,
a marriage away from home is the resnlt.
To illustrate the snaosBS of anch oontrot-
ing parties it is said, "love laughs at
bolts and bvrV’ and sash is the_ case.
Yesterday we h*d a very romantic wed
ding in onr oily. The young lady was an
employe of the Eagle and Phenix Fac
tory, and yesteiday morning left herbnsl-
nessfortheparpoie of meeting her in
tended hciband. They met, went to the
residence of a minister and were married.
They then called on friends in the lower
ponton of t&e city, and wonld have
doubtless spent the day happily, bnt for
the enactment of something not in (he
programme. In explanation it is necessary
to state the mother of the bride waa not
like Barkis, witting; and, when told of the
manner in wbion sue bad bson ontwitted,
started in search of the pair. A harried
step up the front steps, and load knock-
iag at the door announced the arrival of
tbefrato mother-in-law. Not a moment
stopped nor stayed they, bnt wiibont re
gard for gracefulness, jumped from a
window and beat a baaty retreat. The
aggrieved parent rapidly pursued them,
and a lively race was witnessed by the
neigblo.-s. The young people were fleet
of foot, and coon pissed several blocks
between themselves and the old laiy.
Some of the boys say they went as far as
the hospital, and remained in their hid
ing-place in the river bank until dusk,
when they wended their way homeward.
A happy reconciliation will be tbo result,
as thousands of similar affairs have ter
minated.
The Sun Inquirer recommends a grand
and universal celebration ot the 4*.h of
Joly. We do not object. The South has
an equal int-rest in the natal day of the
country with the North. Let us not dis
honor onr ancestors by refusing to cele
brate thier valor which won independ
ence and liberty for Ibe oppressed colo
nies of Albion.
Fibs in Columbus.—Columbus Times:
Immediately after midnight the cry of
Are resounded through the streets, and
despite the lato boar, oar vigilant com
panies were soon driving at fall speed to
the scene of the coni! igr.itten.
The fire broke out m the stables of
the Colombns Transfer Company (Metar\
Henry Bassey acd O. Gunby Jordan;
and oonsumed them, tbo adjoining stable
of Dr. N. J. Bassey and two small frame
cottages. Ovmgto tbo strenuous exer
tions of the firemen another cottage in
process of erection was caved. Besides
the buildings mentioned, mnoh proven
der, a lot of hogs, some cows, a boggy
and oarriage were bnrned. The loss is
estimated ut between four and five thon-
sand dollars, which is in a great measure
covered by insurance in various compan
ies. The males, twenty-two in number,
were all liberated, bnt several of them
were badly scorched. Oao of the mules
fell into the w.*U located in the etable lot,
and it was believed that he wonld die be
fore bo conld be extrioated.
Dividend.—The Eagle and Phenix Man
ufacturing Company will pay its usual

Tax Tyz Tbial.—This case ia now up
for trial in Atlanta. So far eight jurors
have been chosen. Mr. Tye seems calm
and confident.
A Tubtle Story.—Brother Woods of
the Hawkiosville Dispatch (cuff said; no
body ban beat him) affirms that the
Brunswick band recently shipped to their
brethren of the Hawkinsville band a
monster sea turtle that weighed three
hnndred and seventy-nine pounds, and
had its back all covered over with sea
moss. Dr. Sanl butchered the old sea
veteran, carving ent an abundance of
jnicy steaks and relieving her of over a
half bushel of tnrtlo eggs. This true tale
of the hero of Pine Level almost eclipses
his gonrd story. Bat onr genial friend
cannot be biaten either in fiction or fact.
He always cornea grandly to the sur
face.
Chatham Artilleuy.—ThU histori
cal military As*osiation,we learn from the
Srvannah News, haa accepted the invita
tion of the Borne military to join the en
campment at that beautiful river and
hill city,to take place early in Jaly. The
Jfewseays:
The company will leavs here with their
fall battery cn the 21 of July, and will
probably take witn them their two new
caissons which are expected to arrive be
fore that date They will reach Bomo on
the evening of the 3 J, and will go at ones
into camp. The expectation is that they
will remain focror five days, and will not
return before the 9:h or 10;h. The
Chathams have laid ont a plan for a good
time, and it requires no prophet to pre
dict that they will have it. We wish
them in advance all the pleasure acd jol
lity they will assuredly have.
Gone to Look Aftbb the Nkw Pur
chase—Savannah News: Last evening
Colonel William M. Wadlsy, President
of the Central Bailroad, with the board
of direotora of the company,' left for Eu-
faula to be piosent at the ceremonies of
the formal inauguration ot the Mont
gomery and Eufauia Bailroad, lately
purchased by Colonel Wodley, under the
new regime, and to inspect the property,
etc. The occasion it is inferred will be
marked with agreeable and enjoyable in
cidents.

Grand Jury Presentments.—The Horn
tny News saya: The Superior Court
opened yesterday, and after a session of
fifteen minutes adjourned. Cause—law
yers not ready to go on with their cases,
and there are only three hundred now on
the docket.
Diabolical Incendiarism.—Thomas-
villa Enterprise: On Saturday night some
one burned np the bridge over the Little
Ooklookonee river, a short distance above
theHendy Mill. A slough near by, that
had been filled np with shavings, timbers,
etc., was also eet on fire, evidently for
the purpose of burning oat the filling
and rendering the slough impassable.
The bridge had just been rebuilt eince
the late rains, aud wa3 in first rate order
We hope the guilry party will be found
ont.
Is That J. B. G.’e Wore ?—A rather
romantic affair will take place at Talbot-
ton next falL A young lady of that
place will wed a gentleman of Idaho
whom she has never seen. He is reported

Perhaps J. B. G. will himself be the
hero of that romance. Bachelors some
times grew desperate.

Quick Sale. — Borne Courier: The
Postmaster in this city received ten
thousand dollars ot ten dollar United
States refunding certificates Tuesday
forenoon, and they were all ecld by noon
yesterday, without notice or advertise
ment of their coming or sale. This is
pretty good evidence that we have some
money amongst ns.
Wool.—Twenty-five thousand pounds
of this commodity have been sold in
Eastman up to the present time at full
prices. :• • -■
Ably Managed.—The Evening Newt says:
When a faotury gets so far anead that it
has enough cotton bought at bottom prices
—say about 8 oents, when the markst is
about 13 oents—to last till September,
and 123 is asked for its stock, free bids
being made at 117}, it may be said to be
in a bosltny condition, and when the Pro
sident of the Langley Manufacturing
Company (for this ts the factory referred
to) eays that not a dollar of its stock is
pledged In bank, and enoagb money al
ready on hand to pay the Joly dividend,
it may be celled wonderful. The manage
ment of Langley Factory by President
W. C. Sibley, to make such a showing,
mast be of the best and elearsst beaded,
and tbo stockholders have every reason
to congcatnlate themselves that their
stock and property is m snob good hands.
Dbt Weatheb in Southwest Geor
gia.—Dawson Journal: Thus early a
drought is upon us, aud from what we can
learn, crops of all kind?, save cotton, are
suffering. In some parts of this county
no rain nss fallen tn over five weeks.
The corn crop is twisting and mining
very fast. In many instances it is tassel-
ing ont two and three feet high. We
beard a prominent farmer say yesterday
that his corn wonld not make a third of a
crop. Here in Dawson the gardens have
about "given up the ghost.’' They are
aimoat ruined. We have not had a good
rain in a month.
The Telfair Will.—Jastica Bradley,
sitting with Judge Erskine, in the U. S.
District Court at Savannah, has made an
elaborate decision,covering three columns
in the Savannah News, confirming and
establishing the anthority and validity of
the will of the late Miss Telfair, whose
property exceeded six hundred thousmd
del are. The lacyrirmaiuci<■-
day of her death,snd made liberal b squeals
as follows: To the Independent Presbyte
rian Church, the Georgia Historical Socles
ty, the Union Society ot Savannah, thirty
thousard dollars to the Presbyterian
Church ot Angnsta, a large amount to
fonnd & hospital for indigent females,
and various enma to other charities.
The Judge examined and discussed the
will with great care and elaboration, and
then decided as follows:
In onr judgment the giife of the will
most be sustained. We should not have
thought it necessary to go so much into
detail in examining the objections that
have been raised, but for the ability, and
earnestness with which the eaveral points
were presented.
The bill must be dismissed with ooats.
W. W. Montgomery and J. B. Bluesy
for complainants; W. S. Chisliclm, W.
Grayson Mann, and A. B. Lawton for de
fendants.
After delivering the above opinion his
Honor Judge Bradley Btated that noth
ing was said in it as to the competency
of the witnesses to the will, because that
was already decided by the Supreme
Court of Georgia. But-if it had not been
so decided by the Supreme Court of Gen-,
gia, this court would hold that the’'wit
nesses are competent.
Found Dead in the Street.—Savan
nah News : Dr. B. F. Sheftall, coroner
of Chatham county, about one o’clock
yesterday afternoon; received information
that tho body of a oolored woman had
been found on Gwinnett strut, below
the Atlantic and Golf railroad and Bilbo
Canal. Ho at onoc proceeded to tho
point designated,-and finding the body
there empanceled a jury and opened an
inquest. After^ diligent effort it was
fonnd impossible to procure any witnes
ses, or any one Who knew the deceased.
Even the party who reported the discov
ery to the Coroner knew nothing about
the woman, the time or manner of her
death. An examination of the body waa
made, bnt no marks of violenoe were
fonnd, and from the appearanoe the Cor
oner was forced to the conclusion that
death resulted from an apoplectie stroke,
when or under whst oironmstsnoes is a
mystery. Th* eyes were red and swol-
len, the tongne protruding, and the teeth
olenched upon it. A verdiot of death
from apoplexy was accordingly tendered.
The remains were sent to the colored*
cemetery, under the instructions from
the coroner not to be interred until fire
o’clock iu the afternoon, with the view, if
possible, of semiring an identification of
the same. Although the discovery of
the body and of tho inquest became gen
erally known in the vicinity, no one up
to dark htd appeared who knew aught of
the deceased. She appeared to he about
thirty years of age, five feet in height,
stoutly bnilt and evidently well condi
tioned. She was dressed in a neat calico
dress, with brown stripes; a dark calico
apron; white and blu3 plaid stockings,
red flannel underveat and white handker
chief around tho throat, black hat trim
med with brown ribbon. On the .third
finder of the right hand waa a silver ring,
and in her ears were plain gold rimmed
ear-rings. She also hid in her hand a
small red plaid shawl.
TheTy* Case.—Atlanta Constitution:
Tho entire da^was takes up with tho
business of aeouring a jury. The tales*
men summoned were principally from
citizen* of Atlanta who had read the evi
dence as published by the Constitution,
after the inquest, and upon it formed an
opinion. No leae than 118 persons wars
examined before the jury was obtained.
The names of the twelve, in the order in
which they were selected, are as follows:
I. E. Carlton, W. T. Dosier, M. V.
Riddling, W. B. Bass, A. F. Todd, John
G. Lowry, J. N. Landrum, N. O. Harris,
James D. Mansfield, Thomas K. Fuller,
L. XL Beck, James A. Mann.
Dbought.—The Cuthbert Appeal says:
Corn is suffering greatly for rain, and
shonid this dry spell continne many days
longer, it will be "burned up.”* We heard
one farmer say last Wednesday that his
corn was mined already, and didn’t
think rain would do any good.
Commencement Attractions.—Cuth
bert Appeal: We can unreservedly assure
onr readers that Professor Beards lee and
Mrs. E. B. Bussell will present a series
of entertainments during the commence
ment exercises of Andrew College never
before approximated in our town. The
music will be supeib, while the entire
programme has been arranged with a
view to pleaso and entertain the largo
audiences 6ure to greet them on these
oocasions. We shall speak more fully
of these entertainments in onr next.
BiSRor MoTxiebx will preach the
commencement sermon of ’’Emory Col
lege on the firet Sunday in next month.
Cuthbert ia determined to have a band.
That rising little city wants to How

Something About a Watoh.—G tinea-
rille Eagle: Last Thnreday morning as
Gen. Loogstreet was on his way from
his home to the city ho bad the misfor
tune to lose his gold watch and chain
Two or three cays afterward he learned
that it had been found by a woman named
Peeler, wuo said that she did not intend
to give it up. The General got Marshal
Hanie to go ont and arrest the woman and
bring her to town. The Marshal was
subjected to some most insulting language
at the hands of the woman and her sister,
bnt regardless of ell this proceeded to
land her in the jug. After epending a
night and part of the diy in tho look-up,
she concluded to give up the property,
and waa released.
The Atlanta Post seems to gather new
life from increased competition. Brother
Clarke is a wide awake journalist.
Cruel Sport—Je&up Sentinel: One
night last week an unknown person fired
a guu at a flock of goats in front of Sar-
renoy’s store, killing one and wounding
another. It was a cruel aot, and we can
not conasive what conld have prompted
it. The goats are the property of Mr,
Stew&tt.
Snake Bitten.—Brunswick Advertiser
We learn from Mr Bicbardson, oondcc
tor on the accommodation freight on the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad, that a
young man was bitten by a rattlesnake
on Thursday morning last^at No. G on said
road. It seems that be had gone into
the yard at early dawn to select some
lamber to bnild a coffin for his mother,
who had died daring tho night. As be
turned over a plank on the ground the
reptile struck him'. Dr. Thigpen was
promptly on hand and treated his case.
Ha is said to have dtank two quarts of
whiskey, mnoh of whtob, however, he
threw up. At last accounts ha was do
ing Will.
Governor Colquitt—LiGrange lie-
porler. There is one reepeet in which
Georgia is peculiarly fortunate in her
Governor. No one ever made such a
reputation abroad for his State, as Gov
ernor Colquitt haa made. When he was
made President of the international Sun
day School Convention, in Atlanta, last
year, a great honor was done to Georgia,
and likewise u great bsnefit. Romo of
the best men in the Union were in that
Convention, and also some of the ablest.
Tboy credited Georgia with something
that no other State has: A Governor fit
t# be at the head of the Sunday School
work of the Uoited States and Canada,
It is not pleasant, bnt it is true, that
few men are ever elected to so high an
office, who are at all eminent for piety.
There are plenty of statesmen, plenty of
patriots, who have been made Governors
of different States ; bnt it is rare enough
to be remarkable that a man combining
these qualities with the highest type of
piety snonld be made ohief magistrate of
a State. Say what they will, men gen
erally have the highest respect for
Christian, provided they b&licve his pro
fession to be gesuine. <
Therefore it io that in the best circl
all over the United States, Georgia
held in higher esteem, for having
Christian Governor, than she otherwise
would be.
Eafacity cf Hawks.—The LaGrargo
Reporter rotates the following interesting
mciurni : .
Very few people have an idea of the
enormous quantity that is required to
ecstain the hawks in this country, as
shown by tho following :
Monday last, President Mayson wont
ont hunting in the woods behind Mr. H.
W. Haralson’s, in this place. Ho dis
covered a hawk’s nest, and shot one of
the old hawks, and Cliff climbed tho tree
to see what was in the nest. He fonnd
four ycnog hawks, and noth ngtlie. Y<a
terday, two days afterward, Mr. Mayson
went ont again to the nest and shot the
other old hawk; Cliff dimed the tree
agatD, and found in the nest ten yonog
chickens, six little birds and a groond-
sqnfrrel, besides tho remains cf other
oatosseol All this had been accumuli-
ted in two days. The heads of the
chickens and birds had been torn off,
their- entrails taken ont, and all the
feathers plucked ont exeept the down.
The head of the.sqnlrxel had been ripped
open acd the brain extracted: That
hawk family will nover give sty more
trouble.
Cheap —Reporter: Last Saturday we
saw a gentleman have on a suit of clothes
the material of which cost lees than half
dollar. It wasmado of calico and
looked equally as well, if not better,
than a linen enit.
A Good Citizen Gone.—Alsey Fuller,
who has been in feeble health for some
time, diefi at his residence in the 11th
district last Monday, aged about 75.
Suicidal.—Buena Vista Argus: Many
expect to plant cotton on the land from
which wheat hue been taken as soon as
ire have rain. II i‘ *
Tzuc Anderson rille reporter of the
Argus says: The wheat crop of this sec
tion has about been harvested. Tho
yield is fair, Oats not ao good m last,
year. Corn good. Cotton growing finely.
A Chance fob the Boys.—Fort Valley
Mirror: There ip this town, proper, 35
widows, 29 marriageable young ladies,
and only 22 joong mea. If this is not
inducement enough for marrying men to
settle in ouk town we don’t know what to
offer. We might also add we have not
even one widower, and but very few that
want to be. ,
The First Case.—Southerner Jp Appeal:
An unfortunate yonngman, named Julias
Dapree, was brought before the County
Conrt last Monday, on a charge’of cheating
end swindling. Pleading guilty, he was
sentenced to the connty chain gang for
twelve months. He was the first white
man condemned to onr connty chain gang
since its institution. In prononnoing
sentence, Judge Little delivered ■ feel
ing lecture to the misguided young man.

Southerner end Appeal: There is to bo a

Lively stock Operations.
The current of recent events has given
great impetus to business in Wall street,
and many suooessful turns are reported
where immense profits are made in short
periods. The moat successful way that
we havo heard of yet for operating in
stocks is by the Combination Method of
Messrs. Lawrence Si Co., Bankers, New
York. By this system thousands of or
ders in varions sums are pooled into one
vast capital and operated under the most
experienced and skillful management,
thus securing to each shareholder supe
rior advantages and profits, not possible
in sny other way, Profits are paid at end
of'30 days. A gentleman in Boston
made $747.30 on an investment of 9100.
Many others are doing as well or better.
Capital in any amount from $}0 to 9100,-
000 can bo used with equal proportionate
success by this Combination or Co-oper
ative Method. $15 wonld mako $75, or
5 per cent, on the stock; $100 would re
tain $900, or 9 per cent, during the
month, and so ob, according to the mar
ket The new oircular contains "two
unerring rales for success” and fall infor
mation, so that any one can operate with
profit. Stocks and bond; wanted. De-
