WimJo, of Quitman, lim gone lo cuter the Naval School at. Annapolis, lie lias tho assurance of tho Secretary of tho Navy, that tho first vacancy that ho has to dispose of will bo given to him. Beauregard is a bright and studious boy, and wo doubt not will fully come up to a' 1 that could be expected of him. 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. 1?

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 S.

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. ‘ I. :.:e.- M. Smith j‘ui-: De m.."M Gentuxni.u- his 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. * I ’ Dissolution. .iNj OTB’! i; 1m iv!iv given that the firm of, l.• >v I* i\ McC ,11 li i.;, I>y mutual consent, ( ; this dav b. i .i dissolved.
