Cull for n Convention*
A Convention of the Democratic Party of
Brooks County in hereby culled to assemble
nt the Court House in Quitman on Tuesday,
the Bth day of December, 1874, for the pur
pose of nominating candidates for County
Offices, to be elected in January next. Tin
members of Executive Committee are earn
estly requested to call meet ings in their re
spective Districts to appoint delegates to
represent them in this Convention.
J. B. (’BEECH,
Chairman Executive Committee.
Quitman, (la., Nov 17tli, 1874.
40-3 t
To Our l’atrous.
We do not mean to dun anybody
in advance, nor do we desire to
■‘choke oft"’ a single subscriber to the
Repoiitek, but we mean wlmt we say
when we write that after the
first day of January next, no wan can
gel thi s paper without paying for it in
advance. The postal law requiring
publishers to pay postage on their pa
pers in advance goes into effect at the
timo above mentioned, and we will be
compelled, in self defence, to require
the pre-payment of subscriptions. We
are willing to send the paper, post
paid, to every paying subscriber at
our old rates, B'VK) a year, bi t we
will be obliged to adopt the cash sys
tem. We give this notice in time, in
order that all who desire to take, i’ue
paper next year may send us the
amount of siibrcriptiou before Janu
ary, for we will most positively strike
every one from our list who has not
paid up to that time. Money is
just as plentiful now as it is likely to
be this time next year, and conse
quently it is as convenient for our
■friends to pay for their paper now as
it will be then; and our rule will ap
ply to all aSike.

My reference to anoticeof the.Chair
#nm of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Brooks county, which we pub.
.iiall elsewhere in this issue, it will be
seen that a convention of the party has
been called to .assemble at Quit
man on the Bth of December
next to nominate candidates for coun
ty o.lions, to bo el ate l in Jsau ay,
ISTo. It is the desire of tli • Ciuirm ui
that the other members of the Com
mittee call meetings in their several
Districts, an 1 elect delegates to the
convention, in order that each por
tion of tin* county may be fairly rep
resented. Ample notice is given to
every one, and we trust that for the
preservation of harmony in the ranks
of the party, each candidate for of
fice will announce himself through
the papers in due time before the
meeting of the convention; and then
after his name has gone before that
body, let him abide by its action.
Resolutions of Social Base Ball (Hub.
It will be seen by reference to our
new advertisements that the “Socials,”
of Quitman, are agrieved at their
treatment at the Thomasville Fair taut
week, and publish resolutions de
nouncing the conduct of other base
ballists as unfair, and protesting
against the action of the committee
in awarding the first premium offer
ed by the Association to the Wide
Awakes, of Valdosta. We exceeding
ly regret that any misunderstanding
or unpleasant contention should have
arisen between any of the clubs, but
with the present lights before us, we
cannot condemn the proceedings of
the Socials at their meeting on Satur
day night. They have done but one
tiling)- indeed, for which we censure
them, and that is, for playing the
second game with the Wide Awakes on
Thursday, after having fairly beaten
them by a score of 13 to 10 the after
noon before.
We did not attend the Fair, and
consequently saw nothing that was
done, but the appointment of a com
mittee of arbitration to decide wheth
er a game has been completed or fair
ly or unfairly won, when it had been
duly umpired, is something new to us
lu all base ball regulations which we
have ever seen in print, and is certain
ly at variance with those adopted by
the National Base Ball Association
for 1874.
The charges preferred by the “So
cials” in their resolutions are not the
mildest wo over saw, and will doubt
less lay rather heavily where they
properly belong, but “the boys” whose
names are attached to them assure us
that they are responsible for what
they say.
Attention, Cavalry.
The Brooks county Guards are re
quested to meet at Quitman, duly
mounted, oil Saturday next, the 21st
inst.
By order of the Captain,
W. T. Golding, O. S.
—“Sugar bilins’ ” are in full blast
in those parts just now.

Brooks to Miss Kvpik E. Bryan.
We did not have time or space to
notice this happy event in our last
issue, which came out the morning
after it took place,but as Johnny is one
j of our cleverest friends, we feel like it
jis not yet too late. The invited
guests numbered some twenty-live or
| thirty, and we have never seen a more
j pleasant gathering in Quitman. The
! supper was excellent, and gave evi
dence of much taste and skill by Mrs.
Bryan and those who assisted in its
preparation. The Quitman Cornet
Band, of which the groom is a mem
|l>er, was in attendance, and dis
coursed some of its sweetest strains.
! Miss Katie lias the thanks, of our
i good lady for a plate of the nuptial
cake, and we are joined in wishing
her, together with him whom she lias
j covenanted to "love,cherish,honor and
! obey,” the full realization of their
j most happy anticipations.

B. Gordon. E. H. Hill, l! >bt. Toombs
ami Dr. Alexander Moans, heartily
endorse the enterprise, and promise
ito favor its columns with occasional
contributions. We have examined
the copy before us with a good deal
of pride and pleasure, and not only
have we found it to be very inten 1
i ing. but failed to find in its forty
lengthy coin unis of reading matter
tlie least tiling objeetiounl to the par
ticular parent who is careful about
bringing modern publications of a lit
erary character into the family circle.
This being Hie only exclusive and
complete literary journal published
in the South, we think it ought, and
trust it will lie properly appreciated,
and receive the liberal patronage
which it justly deserves. We will
take great pleasure in exhibiting our
copy to any one who will call at our
office, and we hope that a long list of
subscribers will be sent from Quit
man.
Wade’s Marshal Arrests a Darkey.
On last Saturday night Deputy F.
S. Marshal Smith, who has been loaf
ing around Quitman ever since the
late election, after “bruising around”
town until a late hour—until all the
groceries had closed up—started for
his little. bed out at the residence of
E. C. Wade, a distance of half a mile
from town. When he had proceeded
about half way he became tired, or, in
other words, he “lingered by the way
side” to relieve himself of divers
“punches,” “cock-tails,” “a little
whiskey and sugar,” and other com
modities of a burdensome character,
when mixed; and just as he was in
the last singes of this little perform
ance, along came Maud Jeffers, a
darkey residing on Wade’s place. The
whole at mosphere in the vicinity of
that wood must have been filled with
a kind of malaria or offensive gas
arising from the uplieavings of our
hero, which met the nostrils of Maud,
and very naturally produced a lialf
gagged hawking, followed by a signifi
cant spit. ’This aroused Smith’s in
dignation, and drawing bis little gov
ernment pistol, he ordered the color
ed suffrage slinger to halt and re
trace his steps towards Wade’s—that
he was going to have liim tried for
attempted Ku-Kluxing. Maud re
monstrated, but in vain, and he was
marched back to headquarters and
remained a prisoner “in the name of
the government" until King Edward
was aroused, who took in the situation
at a glance, and sent him on his way
rejoicing.
Ilmnoridc Death of a Citizen of Ouit
in *in.
On Monday last a telegram was re-;
ceived by the family of Mr. W. H. ;
Mims, of Quitman, conveying the sad
intelligence that he had been killed by j
Edward Lee, at Lcesburgh, Lee coun
ty, Go., whither he had gone to at
tend the Superior Court then in ses
sion. It seems that Mr. Mims and j
the father of Edward Lee were on-1
gaged in a lawsuit, which brought
about the difficulty. We learn that j
Lee gave himself up to the Sheriff, |
and that public opinion is vary much
in his favor. Mr. Mims had been a cit- j
izen of Quitman only a short time, j
having moved here in the early part j
of the year,
F. S. Commissioner's Court.
Mention was made in our issue of
last week of the arrest of Win. and
l
Peter Hughes, of Thomas county, on
j a charge of “intimidation,” upon the
i affidavit of a vagrant vagabond
* named Fisher. The facts in the ease
jure briefly as follows: Sometime in
| the latter part of October there was n
! warrant issued from the County
| Court of*Thoinas comity for the ar
rest of Fisher, upon a charge of va
| graney. The arrest was made by the
j Hughes boys, who reside in the
j neighborhood w here Fisher was
| known to be, and who were author
ized under the laws of (ieorgia to cx
' cente the warrant which they knew
had been issued. And it was for this
that Win. and Peter Hughes were ar
rested and brought before U. S. Coni- j
! luissioner E. C. Wilde, at Quitman, i
| and tried for “intimidation" Fisher J
| claiming to be a Whitcley man, and !
that by his arrest he had been de-
I nied the free exercise of his political
liglils and pri\ ileges.
The trial was had on Tuesday even- j
| ing, Captains W. M. Hammond, ofj
j Thomasville, and S. T. Kuigsberry,
jof Quitman, representing the. defen- i
] dnnts; and on yesterday morning the
j Commissioner rendered his decision,
very properly dismissing the charge.
Another Curiosity,
Our neighboring little town of Bos- 1
ton is getting to be quite prolific, ofj
I curiosities. In the summer we rc
j reived from a superanuated, but clev-!
er old bachelor of that place a twin j
j flower, or a rose within a rose; and
now someone sends us a potato vine
—evidently the original one planted—
with two entirely different kinds of
potatoes growing on it. The vine is
about six inches in length, and is the
mother of about a dozen little pota
toes which hang indiscriminately
from one end to the other. The most i
wonderful tiling to be observed about
this strailge little family is that while
they are of one and the same paren- j
tage, some of them are red and some i
are white. We can account for the j
I digression or "lapsus ualuri ” in but I
one wav: There are several kinds of i
potatoes which have blooms, and to j
account for this anomaly, according j
to our theory, each of the varieties
on the vino before us must be of the!
blooming species Then two blooms
of different origin might be thrown j
into close proximity, and by inter-,
change or mixture of their flowery
! D . ... ' I
pollen, effect the vine of either; and|
one of these, if cut near the location |
of the bloom and planted, might pro
duce the two varieties of roots.

Our accommodating postmaster,
Sam Griffin, has done the people oi l
Quitman a favor by writing to Wash-;
ington and obtaining instructions to j
send oft’ mail oil Sundays as on other i
days. He will also receive mails here
after from the Route Agents on the A. j
A G. R. R. going East, and West on |
Sunday nights, and they will be de-!
iivered on Monday mornings.
Seed Cane Damaged.
It has been customary with the
weather heretofore to rain a little,and
sometimes a good deal, before turn- 1
ing cold in this country, but it seems ■
to have frosted before it rained this
season, and as it came rather unex
pectedly to our farmers, most of them j
had their seed cane killed Me have
j heard a number of our prominent and
most succcseful farmers say that they ;
will have to “grind” all their cane,!
and depend on the roots for seed
next. year.

work needed in his line done with j
promptness.
We hear a great deal of com
plaint among housekeepers about the 1
scarcity of meal. They say that they
are not able to find it in town more
than half the time. We can see no
reason for this, for our Brooks county
planters made plenty of corn this!
year. Can’t some of our grocery!
merchants make arrangements to
keep a constant supply of meal and '
grits ?
• Our young friend A. B. Newsom I
has charge of the cotton wan house- iu
Quitman, which has been in operation
for about a month, and we are glad
to learn that the lesees, the Messrs.
Creech, have already found it to be a
safe and profitable institution. Al- 1
though the season is pretty well ad- j
vaneed, there is still considerable cot- j
ton in the country tributary to this j
market., and these igentlameu handle'
a good deal of it.
—lt will be gratifying to many to
know that the vagabond Fisher, who [
lias been an eye-sore around the!
postoffice for the past two weeks,
took his leave in charge of a special j
Bailiff yesterday morning for Thom-:
asvillo, where he stands convicted of!
vagrancy and will probably wear a
ball and chain in company with a
gang of that peculiar race of people
for whose special benefit the Fifteenth
Amendment was enacted, to protect
them from any maltreatment on ae
c mnt of “race, color or previous con
dition of servitude.” It was uuder j
this provission that Fisher sought j
the interposition of Federal author- j
ity.
We let out the contract to cut 1
up ten sticks of wood to the lowest j
bidder last week, and after receiving
bids from some half a dozen juvenile!
darkies, we gave the job to a sober i
• looking little fellow by the euphonious !
name of Tom, who had set his price
at the reasonable sum of fifteen cents.
He went to work early Saturday af
ternoon, and pressed bis younger
brother iri to carry the wood into our
office as fast as he would cut it. At
this writing (Wednesday morning)
the occasional drop of his axe.comes j
to our ears from out the back door, |
and from the best calculation we are
able to make, we think that when
: the job is finished, Tom will have i
1 made about three and three-quarter |
cents per day. That’s business.
—“ln grateful acknowledgment ofj
that Providence which lias rewarded
our labors with plenty and protected !
our homes from pestilence; and iu ;
reverent acknowledgment of the sig- j
ual favor of Almighty God, lately
vouchsafed to our entire country, in !
arresting the evil tendencies of the j
times, and assuring a speedy resto
ration of fraternity and good govern
ment,” the Governor of Georgia has
appointed to-day as a day of thanks
giving, and earnestly recommends
that all the people of tho State ab
stain from their usual avocations, and i
assemble at their places of worship to
gratefully acknowledge the Divine fa-!
vor in the past, and invoke a contin
uance of the same.
There will be religious services at
the Baptist church in Quitman at the
usual hour tins morning, and it is
earnestly hoped that there will be. a
general turning out of the people.
We trust that the business houses:
will be closed at least during the hours
of service, and that the day will be j
universally observed in our connnu- j
pity.

Hunter,the first Master of this Lodge,
and the Friend of Man.”
Ii ruin'd. That we sympathize with
the bereaved family of our lamented
brother, for we know our own anguish

minutes of this Lodge bo inscribed to
the virtues and memory of Daniel U.
