The past week has been quite lively in
the mule market of this city. The prices
received were about the same as those of
last week. Heggie Bros, sold eighty four

credit on Mr. Markwalter and all the work
men in his employ.
The contract for a Confederate soldiers
monument at Waynesboro, Ga., was award

AN UNFORTUNATE SHOT.
A Mother Mortally Wounded by Her
Own Child.
One of the most painfully heart rending
accidents occurred Friday night, near AiKen,
South Carolina, which we have been called
upon to chronicle for a long time. Mrs. T.
W. Cowart, wife of a good citizen of Aiken
county, was in her room, standing before a
bureau-glass, dressing her hair before leav
ing for a party, when her little daughter,
who was standing near her, pulled a pistol
from the drawer and began handling it,
when it was accidentally discharged, the
ball entering near the top of the hip-bone of
the mother, inflicting a supposed mortal
wound.
Death of Mr. A. J. Hulsey.
We are exceedingly pained to announce
the death, by consumption, of this gentle
man, which occurred in this city yesterday
morning at 4 o’clock, at the residence of
his kinsman, Mr. W. C. Sanders. Mr. Hul
sey was a citizen of Atlanta aud had been
in a precarious state of health for a long
time, and his death was not altogether un
expected. He was the brother of Col. W.
H. Hulsey, who has been in the city several
days, and carried the remains to Atlanta by
last night’s train. Mr. Hulsey,leaves a young
wife, but no children.
In former years the writer was associated
with the deceased in a most pleasant busi
ness relation and can truly say he never
saw aught to condemn in the character of
his friend. He was true, honorable and
worthy, and his loss will be felt within the
large circle of friends and relations which
surrounded him in life.
—
Robberies.
On Thursday night, the residence of Mrs.
Freeman on Greene street, between Lincoln
and Houston streets was broken into and
nearly all the provisions in the house stole n
On the same night, Mr. T. O. Browns
house on Ellis street, below Centre, was en
tered aud a large amount of his provisions
taken.
It is very evident that both these rob
beries were committed by the same person,
from the fact that a bottle of wine, which
traa identified ao the property of AXro. Free
man, was foundjon the floor of Mr. Brown’s
pantry, which the thief in his hurry to
escape undoubtedly forgot to take with
him. No clure to the thief has as yet been
obtained.
—
Payson’s English Opera.
The press, wherever, this splendid troupe
has performed, speak in very high terms of
it. The Macon Telegraph, of last Wednes
day says of the opera of “Martha” “that it
had never been so well performed before on
the Macon stage. The voices are all first
class, and in first-class tune as well. The
costumes were really excellent, and the
stage effects, while not extravagant, were
within keeping of admirable management,
and were all that could be wished for in a
perfect representation of Flotow’s choicest
work.”
This company opens an engagement at
the Augusta Opera House next Wednesday
evening and remains throe nights, and at
Saturday matinee.
Personal.
Mr. W. A. Shorter, one of the prominent
lawyers of Atlanta, and au alternate elec
tor on the Tilden ticket in the late election,
spent the day in the city yesterday. He is
wonderfully pleased with Augusta and its
surroundings—especially the Sand Hill.
Our friend and contemporary, Mr. John
L. Maxwell, of the O. and 8. , left a few
days ago for a trip North and West.
The Augusta Shoe House,
Have just received at 233 Broad street, op
posite Masonic Hall a large and carefully
selected stock of gentlemen, ladies and
misses shoes, which they offer at Bottom
prices.
Lecture in Aiken.
We make our acknowledgements for an
invitation to attend a lecture to be delivered
in Aiken next Wednesday evening, at the
Presbyterian church, by Captain Oscar
Coles, for the benefit of the Baptist church
of that place.
Capt. Coles has achieved quite an envia
ble reputation in that line nnd the citizens
and visitors in that delightful village are
indebted to him for several pleasant even
ing. The ladies of Aiken are doing all in
their power to rebuild the beautiful church
so ruthlessly destroyed last year by incen
diaries.
That Ten Cents Convict.
Several days since our reporter gave an
account of the sentence, in the County
Court, of a negro named McGebee to twelve
months at the brick yard, for stealing ten
cents. The negro was guilty of the theft,
but it was not that offence for which he
received sentence. He was charged with
being a vagrant and a common thief, to
both ot which charges he plead guilty;
hence the sentence. This is the third time
the same boy has been sent out from this
Court for larceny. He is one of the worst
negroes in the county.
Hon. Henry Hillyer, of Fulton.
No member of our present Legislature has
made more solid reputation than Henry
Hillyer. He is not only dauntless and saga
cious in the emergencies of practical poli
tics, but his honor is without stain, and in
Atlanta his name is almost a synonymn for
loyalty to truth, and to a wise and conscien
tious discharge of duty.
Mr. Hillyer is now serving his first term
in the Legislature, and has already laid for
himself the ground work for future prefer
ment in politics.
The best and cheapest in the world.

feKev. Mr. Trotter has charge of “a cliurck

Cat serenades are now fashonable. Young

Gov. Kemper says the annual value of all
the oyster fisheries of Virginia is $20,000,-

connivance of Schneider, is only trying to
stuff us.
The editor of the Baltimore Gazette a-n
nounces, without fear of contradiction, that
“there are more beautiful women in Balti
more than in any other locality upon the
face of the habitable globe.” That’s the
kind of women we have in Augusta, sir.
An object of profound admiration is the
Patient Female who languidly stands in a
prominent place in a public audience, till
some gentleman gives her his own good
seat and himself retires to the back of the
room. Such self-forgetfulness on her part
is separated by a narrow line trom b—ld—
z—g.
This is the Western style of managing
the Enoch Arden business: Henry M.
Stevens parted from his wife to go to the
Kansas State prison, to serve out a sentence
of five years. She vowed fidelity; but, on
1 hearing a false report that he was dead, she
married John Steinman. Stevens returned
home from prison to find his wife happy
with another; but he did not go so quietly
away and leave them to their happiness.
He shot Steinman, killing him instantly,
1 and brutally whipped the woman.
i
It is said that in one of ths committee
rooms of the Georgia Legislature, three gas
jets were burning. “Retrenchment and
Reform!” cried Mr. Fry; “bring in a lamp
and turn out the gas; the State can’t stand
this expense.” “Reform and Retrench
ment!” shrieked Mr. Turner, “bring in a
caudle; this lamp is too expensive.” “Hold!’’
retorted Senator Reese; “just look at the
moon; blow out the caudle.” Hence it ap
pears that in the final analysis retrench
ment and reform simmer down into cheap
moonshine.

The Valentine Business.
Mb. Editor : In yesterday’s paper you
mention that a Reynoids str -et Clerk whip
ped another boy for sending his sweetheart
an impertinent valentine. This is wrong
and does one party such injustice, that I
deem it a duty, being acquainted with the
facts, to say in the first place, the accused
had no connection whatever with ‘‘the val
entine question” and that the item “whip
ped” is unjust, as the tioys were separated
and arrested befoie the fight was decided.
All who know the second party in this af
fair, especially his antagonist, will take
pleasure in endorsing this explanation, and
acknowledging that he is a most thorough
and brave little gentleman, as proven by his
conduct ou yesterday. Justice.
[We desire to state in addition to the
above note, that the little item in yester
day’s paper was only intended as a bit of
pleasantry, incident to the occasion, and no
intention to even wound the feelings of
either of the young gentleman was our ob
ject. Indeed, we did not learn, and neither
do we now know, the names of either of
the parties.]
Improvements.
Supt Morrison and his active force were
yesterday engaged in grading the beautiful
drive along East Boundary street.
The new ice house, for the Augusta Ice
Company, on Eilis street, just below Jack

Good Advice.—Now is the time of year
for Pneumonia, Lung Fever, Ac. Every
family should have a bottle of Bosehee’s
German Syrup. Dou’t allow for one mo
ment that cough to take hold of your
child, your family or vourself. Consump
tion, Asthma, Pneumonia. Croup, Hem
orrhages and other fatal diseases may set
in. Although it is true German Syrup is
curing thousands of these dreadful dis
eases, yet It is much better to have it at
hand when three doses will cure you. One
bottle will last your whole family a winter,
and keep you safe from danger. If you
are consumptive, do not rest until you
have tried this remedy. Sample bottles 10
cents. Regular size 75 oenta. Sold by your
druggists, Barbs v A Land. febl4oowtf
