Important Improvement. The Brooks County Manufacturing As sociation have secured the services of a northeru manufacturer, who has a life time experience in the weaving of wool en goods, and is thoroughly versed in all the latest improvements used in manip ulating cotton aud wool. The company now propose to add more machinery to their woolen department, and they will then he prepared to compete with any factory in the South. We are glad to Bee such a progressive spirit on the part of this important local enterprise, aud hope that the results will be such that it will induce others to do likewise. * The man who had the Okefenokfee bear on exhibition at the Thomasville Fair drove into Quitman on Tuesday morning, and announced that there would be a fight between his bear and two dogs in a certain portiou of town, at 2 o’clock, which could bo witnessed for the small sum of twenty-five cents. He had five hundred tickets printed at the Repobteu office , aud was getting ready to spread his tent, when some ouo suggested that it might be well enough for him to call on the Mayor before pro ceeding further. Upou enquiry he found that the town and county tax for his ex hibition would cost him just fifty dollars, and that he would be subject to arrest for disturbing the peace and dignity of the town besides, when he quietly pull ed up his stakes and left.

Incendiarism. On Monday night of last week the torch of the incendiary was applied to the cotton house of Mr. Timothy Alder man, completely destroying that build ing and the corn crib, fodder and oat house, stock shed and wagon shelter, which were all arranged in a row togeth er. The cotton house contained about j seven bales aud a half of seed cotton, the corn crib four hundred bushels of corn, and the fodder aud oat house was well filled with these two very important com modities. The flames spread rapidly, and when discovered the buildings were all ablaze, so that the heat was so intense it was with difficulty that any ouo could get near enough to open a place in the lot for the stock to escape. Nothing that was in any of the buildings was stay ed, though about a hale and a half Of cotton was found to ho uninjured in tljp smouldering heap where the cotton lumse stood. Mr. Alderman is a disabled ti dier, having lost a leg in the late war; and this is to him a heavy and serious loss. The fieudish villain who applied the torch was tracked some distance from the premises, hut, as yet, no clue has been found that is likely to lead to his apprehension.

Thrasher, is again convalescent. * —Col. James Atkins, attorney for Nio Thompson and Ben Jordan, arrived on the 3 o’clock traiu this morning. —Mr. E. M. Blake, the lute convert of the Reporter office, will preach in the Methodist church next Sunday night. —Thero was no business of importance transacted by the Town Council at its regular meeting on Monday night. —AVe would bo glad to hear from onr correspondents “8” aud “Ex-Seuten tia” beforo our next. —AA T e were glad to meet on the streets again yesterday our esteemed follow townsman, Mr. J. 8. Harris, who has been confined to his bed for the past week by a severe spell of sickness. —The indications at this writing are that the present term of the Superior Court will not adjourn before some time next week, and jurors aud others inter ested will do well to govern themselves accordingly. —We will have anew Post Master for the next two weeks. Mr. Walter Allen, from A’aldosta, has come to take charge of the office during the absence of Mr. Griffiu, who expects to attend the TJ. S. Court to bo held iu Savannah next week. * —AA r e notice that onr Post Master, Mr. Griffin, lias had his office furniture changed about, which gives a better ap pearance to the office, and makes more room iu front of the delivery apart ment. * —Jim Simmons was the only man on the list of jurors drawn for the present term of the Superior Court who succeed ed iu getting excused without pleading "sickuess in the family." Jim put on a pair of green goggles aud plead “sore eyes” on Judge Wright. —Judge G. J. AVriglit, of the Albany Circuit, presided for Judge Hansell in our Superior Court on Monday and Tues day—the latter haviug been employed, before his appointment, iu some cases that were to he tried at this term of the Court. —Among the visiting members of the Bar iu attendance upou tho Superior Court this week we notice Col. It. G. Mitchell, the Solicitor, Col. AV. B. Ren net, Judge J. It. Alexander, Col. A. T. Mclntyre, Capt. IF. M. Hammond and Col. J. L. Seward, of Thomasville, and Col. G. T. Hammond, of A r a!dosta. —Mr. AV. F. Hooker, formerly a citi zen of Quitman, but now a resident of Guinsville, Ga., has been iu town for the past week. 11c has not finished gather ing up the scattered ends of his fortune here yet, and generally drops down this way about the time “cotton money” be gins to change hands. —The picker machine in the Quitman factory took fire last Thursday morning, but tho prompt action of the operatives prevented any serious damage. A match in the cotton is supposed to have been the cause of the fire. —We learned yesterday from a gen tleman from Tallokas that an attempt was made by some unknown incendiary to fire the corn crib of Air. R. D. Brown in that neighborhood on last Tuesday night. The villain was fortunately dis covered before he accomplished his hell ish design, hut very unfortunately lie made his escape without being identified. —Our Jeweler, Mr. W. E. Baines, was awarded a diploma for the finest watch at the Thomasville Fair. His premium watch is a perfect beauty, and the finest ever brought to South-West Georgia. It cost $200.00 iu gold in Switzerland.

It is said to stand the longest droughts without ■suffering for rain in the least. We pro pose to give it a thorough trial and give the result to our readers. If it proves successful iu our section, it will be of great benefit to our corn raisers. * —There was considerable excitement iu town last Friday afternoon by the alarm of fire, coming from the residence of Dr. E. A. Jelks. The firemen aud citizens generally promptly responded to the alarm, but the fire, which was found to bo iu a closet in the house, was arrest ed beforo the crowd gathered. Tho build ing was not injured, but a good deal of the wearing apparel of Mrs. Jelks and children was destroyed. The origin of the fire is a mystery. —Ono of our Brooks county Grangers tolls us that lie has sold ono thousand bushels of corn this full, for which he has realized one dollar per bushel; aud ho still has about one hundred more to spare. In addition to the above he has made about four bales of cotton, aud raised Hogs, Potatoes, pinders, oats and cane in abundance. This is the product of a two horse farm, without any hired labor, his two younger brothers being his only assistance. He is a healthy, good-looking young man, about twenty four years of age, aud a candidate for matrimony. We think it a rare oppor : tuuity for some granger’s pretty daugh ter, and would like to give our readers his name, but as he is rather inclined to be bashful, we will withhold it for the present. Personal.— We were pleased to meet iu our sanctum yesterday Mr. W. H. Roberts, tho courteous and efficient trav eling agent of that old and popular Geor gia weekly, tho Milledgoville Lnion and Recorder. He visited Quitman in the in terest of his paper, and we were glad to learn that he added several names to his list of subscribers iu our town and county. SUPERIOR COURT. The (luscs of Nie Thompson ami Ben Jordan. Other Criminals. A. Vi nit to tho .Tail. Since tho commencement of tho pres ent session of tho Superior Court, the question “Wonder what they are going to do with Nio Thompson ?” has doubt less been asked of all the “kuowiug ones” in town, hut, ns yet, we have not heard of a single enquirer who has re ceived a “kuowiug” or satisfactory an swer. Thero are so many crooks and turns and technicalities of which criminals and skillful lawyers can take ndvantago iu our laws these days, that it is almost im possible for people iu ordinary stations in life to form anything like a coriect opinion of which ouo of tho "crooks” or “turns” will be taken when cases of this sort come to trial. A man may commit tho most heinous crime laid down iu all the criminal statute books of the coun try, hut when we jgo to surmise what kind of punishment will be meted out to him, or when it will be most likely to be administered, we must take into consid eration how much money he can com mand, and compare the lawyers that are to meet each other representing the two different sides of the question when the case' is laid before the tribunal by which the crime is to bo adjudicated. NIC THOMPSON, with whose case onr renders are all fo uiillinr, has been charged and convicted of tho crime of murder, but the “crooks and turns” have not all been taken yet, and although there has been throe ses sions of our Superior Court aud two sit tings of the Supreme Court of the State since the commission of the crime, the murderer is still unpunished, and is held at a heavy expense to the county. AVhen or whether his sentence ever will be executed or not God only knows, for the “knowing ones” in onr Judicial aud legal circles say they don’t. His case has been before the Supreme Court, aud the judgement of the lower court was affirmed, hut we learn from the prison er’s council that ANOTHER MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL will be made this week upon the grounds of newly discovered evidence. AVe have no idea that the defendant or his coun sel have any hopes that the motion will he granted, but it will he made for the purpose of taking exceptions to tho rul ing of the lower court and procrastinat ing the execution of the sentence of the law, by carrying the case np to the Su preme Court again. The present indi cations are that this will be the next “crook and turn” taken, aud Nic Thomp son will doubtless remain a guest of the county for at least a year to come. Ren Jordan, the negro who is charged with striking Capt. Hunter with a stiok at the time he was killed by Nic Thompson, will be tried this week. He will be defended by Col. James Atkins, of Savannah, nnd AV. C. AlcCall, Esqr., of Quitman (who are also the attorneys of Nic Thompson) and it is expected that the case will he called to-day. The State will ho ably represented by Col. R. G. Mitchell, the Solicitor, Capt. H. G. Turner, Judge ,T. It. Alexander and others, and the trial will doubtless be a long and tedious one. OTHEII CRIMINALS. The list of criminals to be tried at this ' term of the court is longer than usual, I tho number now in jail (including Nio Thompson and Ren Jordan) being seven —all negroes. Tony Williams will be sent np for stealing-’ cotton; Hard Ileaty for beastiality; Richmond Alberta for hog stealing; aud Jssee Bryant and Wesley Williams for burglary iu the night time. We made A VISIT TO THE JAIL yesterday morning, and found the pris oners all in apparent good spirits, and, with the exception of Ben Jordan, very communicative and willing to answer our questions. He was rather reticent, and when we asked him if he was anxious to be tried and know his fate, be answered, “I don’t know; don’t know whether I ought to talk about it or not, nor what to say.” He and tho other prisoners, with the exception of Nic Thompson, who was in the dungeon, occupied the two front rooms on the North side of the jail. The door between tbo two rooms, and the one to Nie’s cell were both open, and the prisoners had free access to euch other’s quarters and plenty of room to walk about. Tho walls of the jail were nicely white-washed, and tho neat and cleanly appearance of the whole building inside speaks well for our worthy jail or. Important Notice.

Tile Report of His Intended Return to Georgia a Canard. Wiiat He Says of Certain Matters and Things. (From tho Atlanta Constitution.) Sometime sinco it was published in a “leading journal of tho South At | hmtio Slates,” that the dolectnblo in dividual whose name heads this arti cle was soon to return to this State and to Atlanta. Sinco that an nouncement the curious have kept ouo eye upon an occasional reconnoi sance for tho advent of the viliant I lieutenant of Bullock and twin Dro mio of “the great developer.” The result proves that Blodgett is wiser than some parties gave him tho cred it of being, and he displays no over weaning desire to thrust his devoted head into the yawning jaws of out raged public opinion. He still keeps himself out of reach of Georgia offi cials and can tell the exact number of inches between his heels and the Georgia State lino at any hour of the day. A gentleman from South Carolina reports having MET WITH BLODGETT in Columbia, South Carolina, and having a passing conversation with him. We cannot of course, essay to give tho exact words of the conversa tion, therefore, we generalize. Our informant remarked to Blodg ett that his return to this State was rumored. To which Blodgett replied that such a statement was gratuitous, as he had uo intention of returning to Georgia until the hate and dispo sition to persecute him by the people had so far subsided as to make liis re turn absolutely safe. He said he had been made the scape-goat for a num ber of other people’s sins—people who were able to help and befriend him, but who were afraid to have him back in Georgia with bis mouth so far unsettled as to make it possible for him to tell some things he knew with out criminating liiiuself. Ho said that he entertained NO DESIRE TO RETURN while the present regime obtained in Georgia, as persecution of him by en forcing the indictments against him would be at once commenced. He said he did not fear tlie charges made against him or his ability to prove them groundless, but he despaired of finding a jury in Georgia wholly able to do him justice iu any trial of them. He went on to abuse a number of prominent men iu Georgia, and to claim that their object in pursuing him was not to bring him to justice, but rather to keep him out of the way. AVhen asked upon what grounds he proposed to come back, if at all, he said that he would only return when the indictments against him were not pressed and be had the fullest assur auc of legal protection. Then, he said, he would be willing to TELL ANYTHING HE KNEW undera promise that nothing he said should be used ever as against him. He claims to be getting along all right, and to have such a host of able and influential friends in South Caro lina, as to deter the governor from giving him up to the people of Geor gia. Indeed, Foster is said to have spo ken eloquently, and to have said that he loved all the people of America. But, enough! Certain it is that our eyes shall not soon he set upou Fos ter's manly form. Alas! Chili Mclntosh. (Greenville Vindicator.) The death of Chili Mclntosh, an Indian chieftaiu, is announced. His father, Geneaal William Mclntosh, was a lialf-breed, and born at Coweta, an Indian village, from which the county of Coweta takes its name. General Mclntosh made a treaty with the whites at Indian Springs, Butts county, on the 12th of February 1825, by which the lands between the Ock inulgee and Chattahoochee rivers was ceded to Georgia. From this territory Troup and afterwards Mer riwether county was formed. A por tion of the chiefs being displeased with the treaty Mclntosh had made with the Georgians, determined to make him answer for his treachery with the forfeiture of his life. A par ty of 170 warriors commanded by a chief who had fought against General Jackson, surrounded the house of Mclntosh, which was situated upon one of his reservations on the banks of the Cnattahoochee iu Coweta county. Hearing tho approach of the Indians Chili Mclntosh sprang from his bed, jumped out of a window and, as he ran off was fired at by tho whole party. Reaching the river he dived and swam across, and thus escaped. His fathor and brother-in-law, Haw kins, were slain. Chili Mclntosh removed to the Indian Territory with his tribe, with whom be afterwards possessed great influence, became a Baptist minister, effected much good for his people and died recently at a good old age. He was a cousin of Gov. George Mclntosh Troup, who came near having a con fiict’ with the United States govern ment on account of tho treaty for which General Mclntosh sacrificed liis life.

Oct., 1875. 35-4 t Daniel Webster’s Friend. Detroit Free Press. ] Ho wasn’t such an old man, lmt bis face was very sad, his hair was long and he was bent over. He entered a store on Jefferson avenue Saturday, and after warming his bands at the stovo he inquired of tho proprietors ; “'Will you give me a little advice?” “I gtioss so ; what is it ?” was the cheerful reply. Tho stranger backed up to the stove, wiped liis nose on his hand, and after a momeut continued : “If you wauted to die would you jump into tho river or take pi zen V” “Well, I don’t know about that. I guess I’d rather live on than do ei ther one. Why, do you feel like dy ing ?” “I do, mister !” said the man in a deep-toned voice. “Yes, I’ve stayed around long enough.” “What’s the matter—why do you want to die?” questioned tho mer chant. “What’s thero to live for?” de tnanded the sad man. “Thero hain’t uo such times as there used to be— no such men as there once was.” “AVell, the times are a little hard, hut there’s lots of good men left, I guess.” “Furty good, maybe,” said tho old man, as be felt of the stove-piper “but I can’t ’sociate with ’em! Afte, a man has knocked around with Dan iel Webster and Henry Clay ho can’t conic down on a level with these ev eryday plugs and feel good.” “Did you associate with those men?” “Did I ? I’ve shaken hands with Clay, Calhoun and Patrick Henry more times than you’ve got hairs on your head !” “You have, eh?” “And I knew Gineral Lafayette and all those fellers, and now to have to come down on a par with these no accounts is killing me bv inches. I don’t care if I die to night.” “I guess you could get along if you tried h;ird,” said the sarcastic mer chant. “You’re a brazen imago 1” exclaim ed, tho old n an, spitting on tho stove with great vigor. “I am as far above such sunflower men as you are as the eagle is above the chip munk.” “You get out of here!” said the merchant. You are an ignorant old drunkard!” “I am eh !” shouted tho old man, and he backed the merchant over a box of palm leaf fans. The clerks hauled him out doors, aud as tho po lice took him, the old man said : “I’m ready to die! Daniel AYeb ster is up there with the angels, and I heard him calling me to get out o’ this one-horse crowd.” COMMERCIAL. o QUITMAN RETAIL PRICES CURRENT CORRECTED EVERY WEEK.
