HKI’OHTKKISMS. ■—Fiftoon Qtiitman merchants are ab sent in New York. —The new looms for the Quitman Fac tory arrived last Tuesday. —There is anew baby in town that gets frightened and cries all over itself every time the clock strikes. —Tf any of our subscribers fail to get the ItEroiiTKn regularly they will confer a favor by reporting it to us, and wo will try to remedy it. —IVo linv6 a lengthy and very inter esting communication from an intelligent planter in Madison county, Fla., which will appear next week. —The venerable Rev. Dr. Jo% Baker lias been quite sick for several days past, but, we are glad to learn, is improving. He is uow in his eighty th year. —Seago Ben—we can’t spell the rest of It—is ont of a jol, and wants a situation. A place where plenty of 1 '.sheep eludings” are kept, is preferred. —Our merchants will tic receiving their new full goods in a few days, and the ad vertising columns of the Kr.poirri.n will inform purchasers where to get the best bargains. —We shall feel it our duty to make a few remarks on the condition of our street lamps and the way they are kept up, if they don’t receive a little attention soon. —The attention of onr readers is di rected to the advertisement of Air. W. S White, formerly of Virginia, who -ill open a school in Quitman on next Mon day, the 30th iust. —See notice of Mr. T. A. Groover, Tax Collector of Brooks county, who no tifies tax payers when he will be at the different precincts in the comity, for the collection of takes. —Mrs. Wooten, wife of our esteemed fellow-conntyman, Mr. It. 11. Wooten, died at her residence near Quitman last Tuesday morning. She leaves several little children and a large family connec tion to mourn her loss. —We are not afraid to announce in advance that. Mr. Berrien Yates has rais ed the champion mnskmelon in Brooks county this season. He sent ns one last Thursday that weight and forte jtaunds. It is useless to ask who can heat. it. —Tom White, n colored convict in the chain pang of Lowndes comity, made his escape last, week, but, unfortunately for him, ho crossed the river into Brooks ami fell into the hands of Sheriff Thrash er. lie was taken back to Valdosta by an officer from that plaee last Tuesday. - It is said that one of the Brooks county delegates to the State Agrienltn ild Convention recently held at Dalton, refused to dance with a cousin to George W ashingtmi, at a hop at Catoosa Springs, just hei-au.se she had red li dr. Now wasn’t he particular ? —We have heard it whispered around that some of tie- Madison bloods who ac companied the. “Amateurs" to Quitman last Thursday left, most of their “small change” up here when they left. Cause: they thought the “Amateurs” could beat the “Socials,” anti some of our boys thought they couldn't. —One of our rural subscribers has been telling us for more than a fortnight that he has a tremendous big pumpkin growing which ho intends.to bring us as soon as it is ripe. The last time we saw him lie said our pumpkin w as growing mighty fast —“It’s as big around right now as the end of a whiskey barrel,” said he. We do not dispute his statement, hut we do think that he had seen a whiskey barrel just before making his last report. —"I do believe that Sweat is going crazy,” said a friend to ns last Tuesday. “Why, what, on earth makes you think so ?’’ we asked in surprise. “'Cause lie’s grinning at me whenever and wliei ever I meet him, lie’s grinning at every body ho sees, and yonder he sits grin ning: at that street pump right now.” “Pshaw 1” we explained, “don't yon kuow that he bet on the “Socials” yes terday. —Messrs.

We never give out the paper to such parties as we suspect of getting their news in this way, and we would be under many obligations to onr subscribers if they would assist us iu finding them out. —lf the news' column genius of the Savannah Advertiser don’t hasten to cor rect an unpardonable blunder that he made in his last Saturday’s effusions he may look out for a challenge to mortal combat with a dangerous foe—Social Base Ball Club, of Quitman. In men tioning the game between the "Wild cats,” of Williamsburg, Fla., And the So cials, he gets the cart before the horse and makes it appear that, the latter were defeated. It w ill take just half a column, double leaded, to save you, brother Nich ols. HANK HALL ! Four Match Caines, ami the “Socials” not “turned down” yet I Off the “Bagged Edge”! Madison Obliterated IS to 10! ( HClon Badly Spanked ill to 17! The Best (Janie Ever rinyedjin Southwest Ororgia! Our Banner Furled for the Season ! Since tlio Br.l-oitTF.it last greeted its readers, our crack club, the Socials, have been tackled by the Amateurs, of Madi son, I-’la., and the Planters, of Clifton, Fla., and, as usual this season, came off victorious in both games, heating the Madison laddies by a score of 18 to 10, and the Clifton boys by a score of 31 to 17. SOCIALS VS. AMATEURS. On Thursday morning tho Madison club made its appearance, and, from ob servations dropped by the way, wo were led to believe that onr boys had an up hill busines before them; hut the keenest scrutiny failed to detect a single symp tom of j “ unhappiness ” on the side of the brave and defiant Quitman Vinll-tossers. Some little contention arose in the morn ing, owing to the fact that the Madison boys wished to play Mr. Caraway Smith, a member of the Jefferson Club, of Mon ticello. It was settled, however, by the Amateurs consenting to play ns the 1 ‘.l m atenrs, assisted by Mr. Caraway Smith, of tlie Jefferson Base Ball Club,” and the game was called at 3 o’clock, with Air B-no Kay ton, of Savanunh, Umpire. THE GAME. Captain Ives lost the “toss,” and the Socials went to the bat. They succeed ed iti getting in two scores, when the Amateurs skipped in and remained un til they made three. The second inning tire Quitman boys held on bravely until no less than five good live runs were gained, but the Madison laddies were forced ont with oply one run to show for it. The third inning gave the Socials two, will n they walked ont into the field and deliberately, arid with aforethought, “whitewashed” their opponents, and continued to do so for three consecutive innings. At the close of the eighth in ning the score stood 13 to 10 in favor of the Socials, and then came the "tug of war.” Determination could plainly be detected in eacli player’s face, and when the Quitman boys went to the bat tlicj pranced around until five runs were scored. Tho Amateurs then swung the bat with a will, but it was not lo be, Johnny Finlayson’s hot balls were too much for them and they were handsome ly “C'hieagoi-d. ” The Socials, ns a.clul, did the best playing they have ever done; but, if a distinction should be made, it certainly would give 'Finluyson and Mabl ett the palm. The former did the finest pitching we oversaw, putting in his “lightning eh; - sevs” w ith the utmost precision, and du ring the entire game only three “balls ’ were called on him, and not a base did he give a wav. Mabbett., on the first base, played excellently, and four-fifths of the “outs” were on the first base. IV iliie Harris, behind the bat, played well, but not up to bis usual standard. Ives held the second base manfully, and Densler, on third,' was fully up to snuff. The two Irvines, in the right and loft field, play ed np to the notch, though they had but little “fielding” to do. Ed Ive,s, in cen tre field, though no “flys” were sent him, did well liy the admirable way in which he backed up second baseman. Will Carroll, as short stop, was guilty of his usual fine playing, and when any better short stop is wanted he will not be found hereabouts. On tho part of tho Amaleitrs, Smith and Thomas did the finest playing, though Dickinson and Lipscomb were uot, far behind. This was, as the score reveals, the best game ever played in Southwest Georgia, and we think the Socials can now well claim the name of champions. Eight “whitewashes” in one game is remarka bly good for amateurs. Below will be found the score: Socials. Amateurs.

The game was called at three o’clock, and lasted about three hours, with Mr. Kny ton as Umpire. Th e Planter boys play ed well, and up to the eighth inning the game was quite close; but, as usual, Fiu liyson’s pitching did tho work, and the Socials were victorious by a scoro_ of 31 to 17.

Being one of om-oldestand best citizens, ho lms many friends in Quitman who will regret to see him remove from their midst. Col. Bonnet graduated with distinct ion at. Mercer University, and taught school when a young man, during which time lie read law and was admitted to the Bar. He moved to Brooks county in 1859, and soon distinguished himself ns a lawyer nndcommanded a largo practice. The Colonel is one of tjieso peculiar kind of men that attend to their own business, and let other people’s affairs severely alone, and being the natural possessor of a very happy disposition, he has made numerous friends and no enemies. About eighteen months ago Col. Ben net, at the request of the Baptist church at tins place, was regularly ordained a Minister of the Gospel, since which time lie has frequently expressed his desire to abandon the practice of law, nnd wo sup pose it is mainly with a view of carrying out this wish that ho has consented to accept the professorship in Young Fe nialo Gollege. It has been but a few months since Col Bennet retired from the senior edit orship of this paper, nnd timing the time j that the writer was associated with him in that capacity, 1 isjgentlemauly hearing ! and personal kindness endeared him to us in the strongest lies of friendship. \Yc shall not only miss the genial, Chris tian gentlemau, but the fatherly counsel ' of one in whoso mental ability and purity 1 of heart have unbounded eoni'd "oe.

The clever and jocular Tom Lake was tho conductor of the train, aud when he 1 entered the passenger coach, as a matter of course, Gentry was the first man to jump up and shake hands with him. Lie went oft’in his accustomed style, ala Chesterfield— “Ah, good morning, friend Lake; glad to see you; hope I find you in the full enjoyment of your usual amount of good health—give us a chew of tobacco.” “I’m just ont, Colonel,” said Tom in broken and almost uuinterpretable lan guage as he rolled a cud of something, that he seemed to bo enjoying intensely, from one side of his mouth to tho other, “but,” be continued, running his linger between his ivory teeth and pulling ont a great long string, “I’ve got some as good rotum as you ever stuck yer tushes into. ” Gentry begged to be excused, folded himself into a Vj on the nearest seat, and said he was sleepy.
