(tyiiHnuni licportcr. qititm a. iv: THURSDAY SEPT. 2, 1875. itfcfiiuiocs.—We liave boon requested to ninnmucu tlmt tbe Rev. Oeo. Thompson, of Valdosta, will fill tbe pul pit of Rev. Mr. Lewis, in the Metho dist Church in Quitman, next Sabbath morning and evening. As Oppobtintty.—A young man not less than sixteen years of age, of good moral character and possessing a fair knowledge of arithmetic, English grain mar and geography, can obtain a free schollarship iu the University of Geor gia by making application to Judge S' earer. Ordinary of Brooks county. 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. Ex-Sententia. 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. Read the new advertisements iu to day’s Reporter. 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.

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.
