Shooting and Cutting Affray.—
On last Saturday afternoon an affray
occurred at Alapaha, Berrien county
between Mr. I. L. Griffin and John
I). Luke, in which both were seri
ously and probably fatally injured.
From the best information we can get,
it appears that Luke was under ihe
influence of liquor, and f reed the dif
ficulty on Gvifiin. The later was shot
in two places, but succeeded after re
ceiving the first wound, in cutting his
assailant dangerously with his pocket
knife. Both parties have largo fami
ly connections, and the difficulty cre
ated considerable excitement. I. L.
Griffin is a brother of our clever Fost-
Iktaster at Quitman, Mr. H. M. On. m,
who returned from Alapaha yesit *n;.
and reported his brother m hoy. a,
condition.
A Brilliant Wccddins la AUnai >.
At 8 o’clock last night Mr. A. I’-
■Woodward, Business Manager of tin
llekald, was married to Mi" Nate
H. Howell, daughter of Hon. Clark
Howell, of this county.
The ceremony was performed at
Emovv Place, th< c : ! ‘ •
of Cob Howell, Elder T. M. Harris, of
the Christian Church, otr, s: i • n:
handsome parlors were, filled with
guests, who, despite the wind and
rain, had ridden to Fmory Place to
pay their respects r> t.c ;,*-• rnf
bridegroom and bride. In the baci.
parlor tho liap.py couple fronted the
preacher.
Six couples of gallant gentlemen
and radiant maidens stood in atten
dance upon the bridal. The hot is as
follows : . .
Mr. Charles Howell, Miss Lizzie
Woodward, Mr. Jack John, on, r
liix.zio Overby, Mr. John E. Wood
ward, Miss E'!a Howell, Mr. On rioy
Harmon, Miss Li/r/r’e Cavtrell, sir.
Jas. C. Howell, Mini Estelle Leyden,
Mr. John Daniel, alias Annie Hook.
The gentiumn, of course, were in
full dress, and the ladies in while.
The ceremony passed oil beautifully,
and was quite impressive.
THE GUESTS.
Among the gnosis, besides tho two
families themselves and host and at
tendants, we noticed Senator Kibbce,
Dr. F. H. Orme, Hon. Mr. M* ''fee,
Mr. W. A. Hemphill, E. X. Calhoun,
Mr. Henry Hillyer, Senator Geo
Black, Mr. E. V. Clarke, Dr.
man Baird.
THE SUTTER.
After the newly-wedded couple had
received the congratulations of then
friends, tho door at tho rear of the
parlors was thrown open and the
company invited into the spacious
dining hall of this goodly old man
sion.
Tho supper (hat was spread for (he
delectation of tho guests cannot, be
described. Such a feast has never
burdened board silice old Wardi 1
the Pickwick Club, and linger de
<loverly (blessed bo his memory'
coaxed the legs of the r.eg 1 gen
try beneath his hospitable mahoe om
it was an old-fashioned, soul-stirring,
all-sufficient feast, and tho company
did the charming hostess infnr to hon
or by their appreciation of her house
wifery. “That your bride may make
as good a housewife as her mother
has proved horse]l to oc. tins Dip v.
was the most substantial congratula
tory wish bestowed upon the happy
groom.
BACK TO THE CITY.
At about two o’clock the carriages
of tho guests wero brought to tlie
door, and in a few moments, ibey
were speeding back to the city, leav
ing the old house in peace ; seudi ig
back blessings upon all its inmates ;
upon the young folks in their rap
ture, and upon the old folks whose
hearts were mellowed by a sadness,
that was almost a joy- a hallowed
feeling of sadness, that resembled sor
row only “as the mist resembles the
rain.”
As for ns, our heart proos out to the
groom and his bride. That their life
may he all that hope paints it to them
to-night, is our prayer. — Herald.
We give (lie foregoing a place in
oar columns, as the parties engaged
in the brilliant affair arc not altogeth
er unknown in Brooks. Col. Evan
r. Howell, a member of the Georgia
Senate, is a brother of tho bride, and
was in our town a short time ago.
His accomplished wife, with four
children, is here on a visit for a few
months to relatives in Quitman, and
sending to school at our academy.
Senator H. will soon bo iu our midst
again. We too, wish the happy cou
ple long life, with happiness, pros
perity and blessings all the way
through.

Onr Occasional CoiTcspctiflcßt
De.ui Hksxirtmr :- Wo aro apt to
! Joßpiso labor, anfi lclnctantiy subniit
i to it, as a curse that wo would gladly
i relieve ourselves of. A too common
conception of happiness is Iroo.lotti
' from Uto necessity of work. Mon ore
; coflt.innnlly fitrugi-di"" lo place tliom
nolvcs above the condition of tbo la- *
! borer. This fcclitip is wrong, and to
S correct if, wo litivo only to roe.d alien
lively the mighty epic, in which la
bor is writing its own praises on the
face of the earth. To-day the woods
man’s axe is heard in the forest ; the
tree firmly rooted by tho storms of
centuries is felled; to-morrow an
| architectural palace rises, as if by
magic, to give ease and comfort to its
i inmates, and adorn the land. Every
morning’s sun reveals anew rising
cottage in the wilds, within which is
a hearthstone, and around it fair
haired children are playing. Ta
bor lias robed the earth in a mantle
of beauty. Labor is contentment. It
is tbe noblest condition of man.
Without labor of the hand, tbe head
;or tho heart, there can be no true
manhood. Every man is born for a
'impose, and has a work to do, and in
file performance of his stern duties
lie will find happiness and coutent
; meet.
Cease then, man of toil, to murmur
i at thy fate ; strive and labor with a
j generous purpose. God works, lie
is filling the voids of space with beauty
| and grandeur. Let ns then be up and
j doing to purpose; so by diligence shall
;we do more, with less perplexity.
What signifies wishing and hoping for
| better times? AVe can make times
better if we better ourselves. “There
i is no gains without pains,” says one,
' nuil ho that hath n trade hath an es
] Into, anti lm i.liat. hath a calling hath
| an office of profit an honor, and what
maintains one vice will bring up two
| children. So much then for industry
i and attention to our own business.
| Learning is to tho studious, riches
ito the careful, as well is power to
ihe bold, and heaven to the good
and tho virtuous. Beyond the flood
| is the laud to which we are travel- •
j ing ; beyond the great ocean of life,
, upon whoso tido our barques are
| tossed and driven. When the gales
iof prosperity and the broad sun
-1 light falls around us, hope and joy
wait upon our footsteps ; but the gale
becomes a breeze, the sunlight dark
ens, tho black banners of adversity
unfurled and sometimes ’eve wo are
aware of it,3 approach, the storm in
all its fury burst upon our devoted
heads. Thus from childhood to old
age, now* light, now dark, wo pursue
our way over the sea to tho goodly
land beyond the flood—the unknown
realm of which wo have heard, but
but ivhore realities a v e yet unknown,
only bv faith. Oh, the little jottings'
and joltings by tbe way; hero we
found a friend, and there we lost one; i
here new links glittered ’ i tho chain
i that bound ns to tho lovely but sin
cursed ear'll; them a broken string
made sad discord in li'o’s harmony.
Yonder, saddest spot of all the rest,
our mother left, us; her barque out
sailod ours, and a lilt lo further on, in
| a never to bo forgotten spot on earth,
J when joy burst in upon our sorrow
stricken hearts, Jesus appeared as
i our Saviour and spoke peace to our
fainting sauls. Wo still loan upon
that strong arm that offered protec
tion, trusting t i tho love that has
vowed cherish, and so wo sail on, and
on to tho land beyond Hope some
times plumes her bright wing and
with beaming face points upward,
while she whispers in low and thril
ling tones —beyond tile flood

In answer to tho resolution, re
questing mo to furnish any iuforma-j
ticn that is in my possession, to the j
Gone* a! Assembly, in regard to the '
sale and disposition of the ? i .209,030 i
worth of bonds issued under and by ‘
virtue of the act approved February
10, 1.873, and, further, that the Gov- j
emor “be requested to apod ally state,
how said bonds were sold, and for
what amount they wwo sold,” I re
spectfully say that a snulinr request,
made bv the House of lieprescnat
iives at the last session of the Gener
al Assembly, I cam 1 a copy of said
' resolution to ho delivered to the:
Tr asuver aud he was requested to
furnish tho information asked therein.
From the reply of tho Treasurer made
February 25, LS7S, aud which was
[then transmitted to the House of
ilepresoutativcs, the following cx
; tract is taken: “In answer to a reso
-1 lution of the House of Rep reset! ta
: lives inquiring ns to the disposal of
I tho i11,200,000 eight percent, bonds
! issued under an act of the I'.lth of
I February, 1873, 1 have to say that
they wero disposed of by me at. par
during the j car lo7i! for cash in many
: i’isia'icKS, but a large portion in ox
-1 change for past due bonds and cou
! pouo according to the provisions of
l imt act. and that I charged myself
with that amount in my report of Ist
January, 187 J, and charged the State
and received a warrant for $8,414 00,
for expenses incured therein. No
positive information can bo given as
to tlm persons to whom they wero
j disposed of, as unlike registered
1 bonds being payable to bearer, and
not having l.ccu required by law, no
regular record have ever been kept of
the persons applying for exchange or
purchase.” Since the date of that re
ply no specific information in regard
to the disposition of said bonds have
i been received by mo, until about the
| time of lemoval of tho late Treasurer
from office. He then informed me
that ho had found in the vault of the
Treasury a book containing a partial
statement of the sales of said bonds.
Upon the receipt of the resolution to
which this is an answer, inquiry was
made of the Treasurer for said book,
but it could not be found. Learning
| that it was in tho possession of the
j late Treasurer, the Treasurer has re
quested its return to (ho treasury.
! 'DLi;; request was complied with, and
I examination of this record shows that
: of the 84,200,000 hoods issued, sl,-
089,250 sold to various persons, nod
1 850,000 was sent to tho Fourth Na
j t.ional Bak of New York. Of the re
maining' $00,750,00 the names of
• purchasers do not appear. The en
quiry for what. tin ;, were sob], can
he.sfbc answer . and by thm (-mowing ex
i tract from tlm . ml > ••port of the
TANARUS: insurer submitted to the Governor
January Ist, M'74:
Referring to the urde of bond-; Xu.ied
under authority of the act, approved
February 19, 1873, tho Treasurer
I said; ‘‘These bonds w ere advertised
! but, a few days when the demand for
: tl'cm came up from our own people,
and before they wore prepared for is
! sue the funds had been received and
j certificates issued for near $200,000,
and this a little over a month after
their advertisement. Holders of old
bonds of the State past due and un
paid, seeing the confidence with which
these bonds were taken at home, be
i gan to send in their bonds for ex
i change in terms of the advert'soincnt
and before the end of the summer full
two-thirds of tho new bonds li.-nl been
disposed of at par. The announce
ment of this fact, as well as the ac
knowledged excellence of the securi
ties, increased the demand at home
and elsewhere, aud I have now the
sincere pleasure to report and show to
your Excellency that they are all dis
posed of—that they have been sold at
par, and that the expense of their sale,
from tho otigravLig and printing of
the bonds to the postage and express
fees in negotiating and [lending them
away, have scarcely exceeded thros
fourfhs of o'io per cent. Tho bool
does not contain, and I have not been
| able to ascertain thorn any other
source tin' dates of the sale or ox- •
change of these bonds. The record \
is quite voluminous, but it has been
deposited in the 'Treasurer’s office,
and is subject to the order of the i
General Assembly.

year is not only ; great political cen
tennial, but it i-i the dramath vn
touniiil. In 1570, three hundred years
ago, the first theatre tor those who
spoke and rend tho English language |
was created in London by Juntos I
Burledgo, Esq. So popular was il
that in a few years twclvo theatres
wero built, one of which was the
celebrated Black friars, that had for j
mi actor a man known by tlioiihino of I
Willii: m Shakespeare. When the first
English theatre was put up, Shake- 1
spec re was twelve years old. The r, ai
author of tho drama was at the same
time tho contemporary of those who
first utilized it in public knowledge.
Our centennial year is therefore
marked in the progress of tho world by
tlireo events. It is one hundred years
ago sinco it was,declared that this
country should bo governed by those
who lived in it, and not by those who
did not. One hundred years before
that, in ]o7(i, it had been solved that
tho coming man of the United States
should be a white rather than a red
man. In 157(5, drama, in the persona
tion of a theatre, asserted its existence
in the English tongue. It is older!
than our country; it is older than
English or American liberty. It may f
live, and probably well, after the
latter is gone. —■ Cincinnati Enquirer.
