W. W. Chisholm, one of the liveliest
trail most reliable commission met chants
on Bay Street, Savannah, solicits the pat
ronage of the people of this section
through his card to be found in another
column of this paper. We have known
him personally foi some time, and as he
gives his individual attention to the sale
of cotton and other produce consigned to
him, we take pleasure iu recommending
him to our readers.
McConnell's Ei kopean House, Su
vannah, is still in full blast and Mr. A.
Fernandez, the new paeprietor, is still
keeping up the good mime anil reputa
tion established for it by its founder.
His charges are 82 per day, and lie keeps
an excellent table. The house is suppli
ed with every convenience for the com
fort of guests, and our friends will find
the proprietor to he an accommodating
host and agreeable gentleman. Sec nd
”_C. one of the clever
est%nd most agreeable gentlemen that
we met in the ‘ Forest City” last week,
signifies li is desire to sell Flour and
Grain—in which he is exclusive dealer—
to our people, by inserting Iris card in
the columns of the Reporter. He is
the only Exclusive denier in flour that
we know of in Savannah, and we take
pleasure in recommending him to our
renders as a gentleman worthy of their
confidence and patronage.
County Court.
Yesterday was quite ail interesting day
in our Comity Court, it being the day
set apart, for the trial of Charles Mcln
tosh, an old darkey convicted of hog
stealing and sentenced to six months in
the chain gang in the County Court in
January last, llis case was carried up
to tlie Superior Court, nu 1 the jmlg
meut of Judge H irdeu reversed and tin*
case remanded to his court. The coun
sel for the prisoner then demanded a
jury, and yesterday the. case was argued
again—the jury bringing in a verdict of
“guilty,” whereupon Judge Harden sen
tenced the prisoner to hreloe mtmths la
bor in the chain yang, without alternative.
Wm. If. Stark &
The attention of our readers is invited
to the advertisement of this old and ex
tensive commission and grocery house of
'Savannah, to lie found elsewhere in this
paper. Having been so long established
their facilities are such that they can
compete successfully with any similar
establishment in the State when it comes
to Selling groceries ; and tlieir prompt
ness and reliability as cotton factors and
commission merchants has become al
most proverbial throughout Southern
Georgia and Middle Florida.
Stabbing All'ray.
M uses Thompson, a negro man employ
ed on the plantation of Mr. J. W. McAl
lister, was brought under arrest and de
livered to the Sheriff last Tuesday night,
for stabbing one Wm. Madison, a color
til convict hired out by the county to
Mr. McAllister. The difficulty took
place out iu the field, and seems to have
originated from an int maey
supposed by Moses Thompson to exist
between bis wife and Win. Madison.
The latter was cut in three places, the
wounds inflicted being painful but not
considered to be dangerous.
The Reporter does not contain its
usual amount of local and editorial mat
ter this week, but we. have done the very
could. Our foreman left us on
* short notice lust Tuesday morning; our
pressman and best compositor has been
confined to his bed for several days with
billions fever, contracted during his re
cent protracted visit to Middle Georgia,
and tbe editor lias liad to take his posi
tion at the “case” and “set up” his own
eloquence. Having set out to make an
excuse, we suppose we had as well get up
tile best, oue we can, so we will add that
in addition to the regular work to lie
(limn on the Reporter this week we have
had to get out the Brooks Count!/ (/can.
yesterday being its day of publication.
Levied on His Own Mule.— John
Thrasher, our efficient and good natured
Sheriff, is noted for being a keen horse
trader, but he made a mule trade the
other day which will, in all probability,
bring him out about oue hundred and
fifty dollars behind. He traded with a
man for a mule, and the very next day
oue of our lawyers handed him an execu
tion against the very same animal, telling
him to look him up and make the levy- at
once. John grinned around awhile, and
after vainly endeavoring to convince
himself that his mule was not the out
pointed out in the execution, he quietly
repaired to his stable and levied on his
own property. lie discharged his duty as
nn official without a murmur, but the man
lie traded animals with lias swapped
again, and now John’s mule is non est.
“Why is this thus, and if so, why can’t
j go for that third man, although i know
him to ho an innocent purchaser,” is
what our sheriff' and horse trader would
now like to know.
Rear Hunt on Cherry I.nke.
Torn Cason, a colored man of this
neighborhood, made it known, on last
Tuesday morning, that a bear hud been
in hie field the night before. Charley
Mclntosh, Mr. Cochran and Tommie
Cole proceeded to the place, and put
hounds on his trail, Mr. Cochran taking
a stand oh his horse. The bear ran by
him at a rapid gait, giving him a splen
did shot. We believe Mr. C's reason
for not killing him was, he, us well as
“his horse, been me very much frighten
ed.” Tlio excitement increased. The
report of the gun, the whoops of the
hunters with the bark of the bounds at
tracted a considerable crowd of negroes,
who rushed to the scene with shot guns
loaded with bird shot. The place in
which bruin thought to make his escape
was a hammock about a mile long and a
quarter wide, at intervals covered by
dense undergrowth. Almost throuirh
| out its entire extent is covered with mud
over six feet deep, which was so rare
that it could be penetrated to the depth
of five feet by a man’s body almost as
easily as water itself; but at intervals of a
few feet turfs of grass grew, which would
support a man's weight, many of which
were unreliable. Bruin, after having
i been chased up and down the hammock
] for about two hours, came to the conclu
sion that it was altogether too close a
I pi ice for him, and made his w ay across a
j cotton field, running among a crowd of
j women and met) picking cotton. They
screamed, which caused him to turn and
go back into the hammock. Oue boy,
who was “fleet on foot,” seeing the bear
| very much exhausted, went for liim, and
j was in the act of taking hold of him when
they got to the swamp. After a chase of
[ an hour longer, it was perceived that the
bear was making slow speed, and at
times come to buy. The question now
was, “who will attempt togo in and shoot
him?” About half a dozen started in,
|at different points. Charley Mclntosh
was ahum; lie sunk once in the mud to
! his shoulders, and it was with great diffi
culty that he extricated himself. He nev
! erth less got. to the bear first; found him
in a thick clump of bushes, got up within
j six feet of him, leveled his rifle, pulled
j trigger; the gun failed to fire; and the
I bear retained his position. Charley told a
lfcgro, who was a short distance behind
to bring his shot gun, with which he
shot him, but the shots were so small
tl at bruin scampered off with them.
About *2 o'clock Mr. Blalock and Mr.
Dickson came tq the place of excitement.
The former posted a boy off for large
shot, but before lie returned it was decid
ed that the crowd should goTu, and try
their guns again. Th|i started. When
they came near the dogs and bear, they
saw, in order to get to them, that they
would have to cross a very bad muddy
place, but they were determined on go
ing. They bogged almost to tlieir necks
sometimes, but by catching hold of
bushes and pulling one another out they
managed to accomplish tlieir purpose.
When bruin began to bo aroused, and
excited to action, at the sight of so many
euemiys, the negroes, most of them,
“took a tree.”lu order to get a shot with-
I out killing a dog, it was necessary to get
| very close. Mr. Blalock was in a tight
j place at one time. He was bogged to
his waist, ill the mud within six feet of
the bear. The dogs were making attack
on the opposite from Mr. B. The bear
was grad ini ly receding from them and
coming fearfully near Mr. B. Tile rest
of the w hite men were in the mud also,
and could give him lio assistance, but
two darkies, who were braver than the
rest, managed to get to him in time to
prevent him and bruin from having a
scramble. Mr. Dickson gave the bear n
shot, from a rifle, wounding him badly,
Mr. Blalock and Charley Mclntosh gave
him one a piece from shot guns. The
latter after shooting him, gave him sev
eral blows on ihe head with his gun.
They finally killed him. It is customa
ry, we believe, with bear hunters, that
whoever kills the bear is entitled to his
hide; more for the honor than for its in
trinsic value. In this ease, it was not
known positively who killed him; indeed
no oue man did it, therefore, they agreed ,
that the one who exerted himself most
and encountered the most danger should
be honored with the hide. It was agreed
| upon unanimously that it belonged to
■ Charley Mclntosh.

Cherry Lake, Aug. 28, 1875.
Kirksey & Scott.
Our readers will not fail to notice the
advertisement of this old and reliable
commission house, which appears so
prominently' among the number of en
terprising business houses of Savannah
represented in this week’s Reporter.
These gentlemen arc now introducing
throngho it the cotton growing States
“Scott’s Improved Cotton Tie,” invent- !
ed and recently patented by Col. Geo.
W. Seott, the junior member of the firm.
It is one of the strongest, simplest and
most easily adjuster cotton ties we have
ever seen, and in our opinion it is des
tined to take the lead of all others yet in
troduced.
Mr. S. S. Strickland, formerly of Quit
man, is sti 11 with Messrs. Rirksey .fc Seott,
and will continue to do the square thing
with those of his friends in this section
who favor his house with their patron
age.
M. Y. Henderson. —The advertise
ment of this gentleman appears iu an
other column of this week’s Reporter,
and we bespeak for him a liberal almre
of the patronage of the people of iliis
section. He deals extensively iu wool,
tallow, beeswax, hides, Ac., in addition
to the cotton commission business, and
parties having articles for sale or desir
ing to ship tlieir cotton cannot do better
elsewhere than with Mr. Henderson.

Letter From a *‘ Country Boy, ”
Editor Quitman Reporter.
Dear Sir: Having seen nn article in
a late issue of your valuable paper, bend
ed “ Country Courting, ” I trust you are
ready to bear a reply to tbe same; which
reply will be written by one who courts
iu the country, and when ho courts, lays
his brawny arms around the stout and
well developed form of his lady friend,
and when he feels like giving hern
“ smack ” docs so, right iu the month.
But to begin with my reply, I propose
to say something about city courting. I
will first mention tbe city swell. Sup
pose he is a clerk in some dry goods es
tablishment, (lie generally is,) and a
Wonderful polite fellow of course. This
queer Specimen of humanity is well sup
plied with self-ooufldenoe, check, fine
clothes, cigars and occasionally with
“ bust head whiskey." At 8 o’clock he
finds himself in his room, where ho is
surrounded with a variety of empty hair
oil bottles, old collar boxes, combs,
brushes, cigar stumps, old run down
boots, Ao. Ho places his watch on the
table, and when the hands of said watch
stand at 9:30, he has just put the finish
ing stroke to his muchly oiled hair.
He then takes his fine heaver, gives it a
few quick strokes with a brush, aud with
much precision places it on his head,
surveys himself with tlio strictest scruti
ny, lights another cigar and is off'for the
uiansiou iu which his fair one resides.
On his arrival ho is showu into the par
lor, as the you: g huh is not yet ready to
see liim, having only had two hours to
doun lu r finery. Finally at 10:15, she
makes her appearance in the parlor, aud
one to sco the couduct of tlio young
gent ou her arrival, would think he was
non compos meatus. A bright burning
lamp is placed on the table, and the
young couple places theniselve on a so
fa, with a space of thirty inches between
them. There they talk of Byron, Burns,
Scott, Shakespeare, Thomas William
Robetson, and finally hack to Mozart and
poor old Bcthovcn, w hereupon the young
gent becomes much concerned and the
suggestion naturally offers itself: “Miss
Addie, play the last new piece you learn
ed at A-——.” “With pleasure,” the
fair one exclaims, taking her position at
the piano. When she has crossed hands
and made several master strides with her
lingers from the black notes to the white
ones, the piece has been finished.
“Oil, how delightful 1” exclaimcs our
hero in an ectaoy. By Ihe time she has
played another piece it is 12 o’clock.
Our hero now rgjires with many unnec
essary gestures, and thinks lie’s been
courting. Fie upon such coin ting. I
concur with “Ball" every time when she
says “women were not made just to look
at,” and glory in her pluck
Very Respectfully,
Country Roy.
Adel, Ga., Aug 30tli, 1875.
Planters Hotel.
This old aud popular Savannah house
of entertainment has recently been re
opened under the management of Mr. A.
E. Carr, formerly proprietor of the
“Magnolia House” at Darien, Ga, Mr.
Carr lias made considerable improvement
iu the arrangement of his house, making
it one of lie most coincident and desir
able stopping places for planters and
merchants from the country in the city.
He is a clever aud accommodating gen
tleman, and seems to study the happi
ness and comfort of Lis guests. His ta
bles are supplied with the best the mar
ket affords, aud his charges are reasona
ble. We take pleasure ip recommend
ing him aud his house to our friends iu
this section. See advertisement.
Not “ Cakes, ” hut Base Balls.
It seems that tlio “Amateurs,” of
Madison, take tlieir recent defeat by the
“Socials,” of Quitman, very much to
heart, and they have been challenging
our hoys for another contest ever since.
Having decided to play no more this sea
son, the “Socials” have declined to ac
cept the ‘pressing invitation;” and one
of ourcitizens, who was in Madison last
week, was approached thnsly by some of
the “Amateurs:"
“What the deuce is the matter with
the “Socials—why is it that they won’t
play ns another game ? Is Cnpt. Ives
so busy peddling cakes that lie can't get
off to come down ?”
No, boys, that’s not “what’s the milt- ,
ter.” Captives has not gone to ped
dling cakes yet, but the “Socials” have
applied for license to peddle off’ the base 1
balls won from the boys “acuiss ’the
line.”
K. M. Oi'ENUEiMKii.—This gentleman,
a commission lunch nut of Savannah, so
licits the patronage of the people of
Southwest Georgia and Middle Florida,
as wi 1 be seen by his card elsewhere in
to-day’s Reporter. Out young friend,
Henry D. Stevens, who is well anil fa
vorably known in Quitman, has recently
accepted a situation with Mr. Openliei
mer, and we have no doubt that he will
receive a liberal share of the patronage
of our people. Henry holds an impor
tant position in the business, and those
of our friends who know him will have
no fears in trusting tlieir business in his
hands. All consignments made to tnis
house will receive prompt attention.
The attention of those desiring the
services of a competent lady teacher is
directed to the advertisement of “Miss
It. R.,” to be found in another column.
Some of our merchants have returned
from tlieir annual trips North to lay in
tlieir fall supplies of goods, and others
are expected home the 'alter part of this
or the first of next week.
Eggs are unusually scarce in Quitman
just now. We would suggest to our
country friends that they give the hens
parched corn and pepper. It is said that
this makes them, fruit amazingly.
Jos. A. Polhil, formerly “oue of the
j Uoysof our town,” is now, ns he has been
I for the past three yenrs, engaged in the
| Drug business in Savannah, lie keeps
i constantly on baud n fall stock of drugs,
j medicines, fancy articles, toilet goods,
Sc., and sells at w holesale and retail. It
jis couceded by all his “follows” that
! Joe is one of tlio cleverest boys that
[ Quitman ever put a head on and sent
! adrift; and now that lie hns anchored in
business nearby, nnd sells ns cheap as
they can he purchased elsewhere, we
think lie is justly entitled to tlio orders
of our people for all goods in his line.
See his advertisement nnd give him a

Morbid Condition of the Blood.
These are the fruitful source of many dis
eases, such as scrofula, white swelling, gout,
rheumatism, erysipelas, ulcers, chronic sore
eyes, swelled neck, salt rheuina ringworm,
boils, carbuncles, pimples, blotches, and
eruptions of all kinds.
For the cure of these various affections,
which are merely symptoms of a morbid
state of the Blood , medical skill and science
have not yet discovered a BboA Furijur
equal to Dr. Pemberton’s
Compound Extract of Stillin*£ia.
This great Health Restorer and Blood
elensing cordial thoroughly eradicates every
kind of humor and bad taint, and restores
the entire system to a healthy and perfectly
puro condition.
