QUITMAN:
THURSDAY. MAY 18, 187(i.
Public Debate,
The Quitman Debating Society will
Imre a public debate in the Council
Chamber to-morrow (Friday) night.
Subject: "Is the mind of man superi
or to the mind of woman ?" The pub
lic generally, and tho ladies especial
ly, are invited to attend.
Keep Us Posted.
We make a special request of the
planters to write to us from every sec
tion—giro us your ideas of the grow
ing crops, and such othor news as
will be of interest to the public. We
expect to devote a good deal of our
time and attention to tho planting in
terest whon we get fully installed, and
under good headway.
Vine Vegetables.
We were the appreciative recipient
of a general assortment of such favor
ite vegetables as cabbages, squashes,
Irish potatoes, onions, etc., from our
esteemed fellow-townsman and re
vered old school teacher, Mr. O. W.
Stevens, last Tuesday morning. Ta
ken all together, they were the finest
collection of vegetables we have ever
seen outside of a horticultural fair,
and we prize them not only for their |
superior quality, but in high appre
elation of the kiud friend who scut i
them.
New Pastor.
The Baptist Church of Quitman has
finally agreed upon and called a pas
tor—the Rev. N. A. Bailey of Talla
dega, Alabama—to succeed Rev. C.
D. Campbell, who left this church to
go to Athens, Ga., some two months
ago. We learu that tho call has boon
accepted by Mr. Baily, and that he is
expected to occupy his new pulpit
the second Sundy in next month.
He is represented as being a model
Christian, a finished scholar, and an
excellent speaker- A hearty welcome
by not only his own church, but by
our entire community, awaits him.
The Crops.
We took a drive through the west
ern'portion of the county one day
last week, and took particular notice
of*£lfe th-tijJs that lay on our route.
Cotton and corn seem to be a little
liehiu 1 the season, but both have a
appearance, r.TT.f we think
would grow off rapidly if favored with
n good rain. The out crop is gener
ally rather Jpodr, though we saw two
'Or three patches that were well head
ed and looked very fine. One thing.
Hve were shTi't * se, atid that was,
that along our road there were two
acres planted ir ’Cotton to one in corn.
SefWfts Cutting Affray.
We learn that on Wednesday mor
ning of last week John and Hill Hen
derson, sons of Mr. Samuel T. Hen
derson, of Madison county, 11a., had
a difficulty in which the former seri
ously, and probably fatally, cut his
brother with his knife. Hill Hender
son kVs with his father, and John s
place is a mile or two away. It seems
that on Wednesday morning the lat
ter went to his father’s place to do
some grinding on bis mill, and learn
ing that Hill had the mill key, he went
out into tho field where ho was at
work to get it Here the two broth
ers engaged in a dispute, which finally
came to blows, and terminating as
above stated. When we last heard
from the wounded man he was thought
,to be in a very critical condition.
John Henderson lied to Georgia.
Hob. Jno. IS. James.
Tins distinguished Georgiau and
candidate fur Governor was in our
town'last Tuesday, and called at our j
office- He is on a tour through this |
section of the State for the purpose of
making the acquaintance of the peo
ple, and expresses himself as highly
pleased with the cordiality with which
he has been received, and much en
couraged with his prospects for the
nomination.
Mr. James is different in one re
spect from the other candidates for
Governor. He comes out squarely
and says that he wants the office—
that he wants it not for the sake of
t bo pay, but for the honor of the posi
tion. The others are working as
hard for the nomination as he is, but
none of them are candid enough to
acknowledge it.
So far as the Reporter is concern
ed, it has no express preference for
either of the prominent trio of candi
dates in the field—we expect to sup
port the Democratic nominee, and do
not presume to dictate to the people
of the State who their standard-bear
er shall be—but we must confess that
if the office is to be sought by the man,
we like Mr. James’ candid style of
electioneering the best,
Some of our farmers have com
menced to cut their oats. We have
noticed several wagon loads of the
new crop on our streets this week,
REPORTEKISMS.
I —Lots of weather.
—-Dry and dusty.
—Sec notico of Tax Collector in rc
i gard to special taxes.
—A good selection of reading mat
ter on our first page this week.
—Go to the Sunday School picnic
to-day, and don’t forgot your basket.
—The gardens are suffering great
ly for rain.
—The übiquitous and indefatigable
Gentry, of the Morning News, was at
the Grangers' picnic last Saturday.
—Remember the performance by
the Amntenr Minstrels will come off
on Friday night, the ‘26th inst. The
proceeds will be appropriated to the
building of the proposed Band Stand
on the Court House square, and every
citizen of the town should attend.
—All the Sunday Schools will meet
at the Methodist Church at 8 o’clock
this morning, and after tho speeches
of Mr. Cooke and Capt. McCall, and
singing by the children, a procession
will be formed to march to the picnic
grounds.
■—Judge Joseph Tillman, the new
proprietor of the Reporter, has traded
his plantation in Madison county,
Fla., for the town property of Mr. T.
A. Hall and his place eight miles in
the country. They will exchange res
idences about the first of June.
—On our way to the picnic at Elam
church last Saturday—thirteen miles
from town—we saw an average of
three “yaller dorgs” to the mile. Que
ry; Where there are three big curs to
the mile to bo seen along the public
road , how many is it reasonable to
suppose are scattered around in the
country, nnd how many sheep will
they kill, on an average, per year ?
—Our Washington letter is neces
sarily omitted this week, from the
fact that there was not a printer in
the office who could read it. Our cor
respondent, "Dem,” must certainly
have been under the influence of some
of the “crooked whiskey” that has
been tho cause of so much excitement
in Wash ington for several mouths
past.
—Brother Davieß, of tho Thomas
ville Enterprise, came down to our
fireman's parade and ball last Thurs
day. He trotted right square through
the programme at the bait, and fell ir
revocably in love with one of our Quit
mau belles. Willie has a good deal
of Wit ( t) about him already, but can
not exactly see bis way through a
happy life now without about a hun
dred and twenty-five pounds more.
—Brother Davies, of the Tbomos
ville Eiitr.rprisr, prefaces his well
written account of our fireman’s pa
rade and ball last week with tho fol
lowing remarks upon the general ap
pearance of our town: “A little after
3 o’clock found us in the town of Quit
man, where we were soon made to
feel at home. We must admit that
we’were considerably surprised, and
most agreeably so, not having sfien
the town in several years except from
the depot. We were not prepared to
see such a decided change for the bet
ter as greeted our view. The town
has fully doubled itself since the war,
and now with its many beautiful res
idences, all of which bear evidence of
the care of their owners, give it cer
tainly, in our opinion, tho right to
consider itself one of the prettiest of
South Georgia towns. One thing
prominent to our eye was the atten
tion which seems to have been given
to beautifying the streets with shade
trees. There is scarcely one that is
not now bordered almost the whole
length with rows of beautiful live
oaks. The Court House Square is
destined, with a very little expense, to
be one of the prettiest spots in the
State. The whole has been enclose 1
with a neat and substantial railing
and is now dotted with several hun
dred oaks, which in a few more years
will completely shade the whole
! ground. With the addition of a few
! seats, Quitman could bojist of a very
pretty park.”
Go to the Fair.
By reference to our advertising j
columns it will be seen that the regti
lar annual Horticultural and Floral
Fair of the South Georgia Agricul- ■
tural and Mechanical Association
will be held at the Association grounds
in Thomasville, on Friday, tho UOtli
iust. The Board of Directors have
spared neither trouble nor expense
in arranging everything to suit the
convenience of visitors and patrons
of the exhibition, and a grand display
of the vegetable and floral products
of Southern Georgia is expected. We
trust that the people of Brooks will
extend to the exhibition that liberal
patronage it has ever received from
them heretofore. Let our county not
only be represented by visitors, but
leu our fertile and beautiful vegeta
bles and flower gardens be represent
ed by the best collections of products
that cau be made.
Says tho Albauy Newt y We learn
by the Underground Telegraph that
Co'. Carey W. Styles has bought the
Atlanta Commonwealth, and will take
charge some time next week. Wo did

long enougli to mst, aud we shall

THE FIREMEN.
Amiun I Parade of the “Stouewalls.”
Grand Hull.
Last Thursday tho third annual
parade, since the permanent organi
zation of Stonewall Fire Company,
look placo, nnd it was by far the most
creditable display ever made within
the history of the organization.
At 5 o’clock tho Company formed
at their engine house, nnd, following
tho
CORNET RAND,
marched to their engine on tho South
side of the Court House Square,
where it had been turned over to a
volunteer committee of young ladies
for decoration with flowers.
THE LINE OF MARCH
was around tho Hquaro to Stephens
street, and up to West Broad, thence !
down Screven to tho South front of j
the Court House, where the Company i
halted with their engine for inspec-!
tion by the Mayor and Aldermen. S
After inspection his Honor, Dr. J. T. j
Davis, in a few appropriate remarks, 1
congratulated the firemen upon the!
material improvement that had been
made by them as an organization j
within tho last year, and paid them
a just compliment for their gallant;
and efficient service in conquering the
fire-fiend on the occasion of the last
conflagration that occurred in the
town. The remarks of the Mayor
were responded to by the President;
of the Company, Mr. Nathan Gazan,j
in a brief but chaste and fitting I
speech, after which the engine was
stripped of its beautiful suit of flow
ers, and with the "boys” at the brakes,
was soon throwing a stream from the j
cistern opposite the Council Chamber.
| This concluded the parade, and the
firemen then adjourned to the Coun
cil Chamber, with tlie Mayor and Al
dermen and Cornet Baud as guests,
to partake of
A LUNCH,
consisting of ham sandwiches, lager
beer, lemonade, etc. Three hearty
cheers were given for the Mayor and
Aldermen and the Band, and then all
present were cordially invited to
“eat, drink and be merry.” The beer
flowed freely and soon developed
such wit and eloquence as was never
known to come from under the red
jackets there assembled before. Half
an hour was spent, iu eating, drink
ing, exchanging toasts, anecdotes,
etc., after which the happy crowd ad
journed to prepare for
THE HOl
at tho Court House that night. This
was decidedly the most enjoyable part
of the day’s programme. By 8
o’clock a very respectable representa
tion of the beauty and elite of the
town had assembled, and soon a
march by the baud called about twen
ty couples upon the floor. Every
thing went on as "merrily as a mar
riage bell,” and all present seemed to
surrender themselves to the mirth and
enjoyment of the occasion.
THE SUPPER,
which was prepared by our experi
enced nnd popular confectioner, Mr.
E. Ives, at his residence near the
Court House, was nicely gotten up,
and reflected credit upon the taste of
the caterer. Sweetmeats, and all the
most palatable refreshments that
could be called for were not only
served in the best style, but the more
substantial commodities were therein
abundance, prepared to suit the
taste of even the most fastidious. Af
ter partaking of this bountiful repast,
the happy throng returned to the hall
and resumed dancing, which was
kept up until a late hour. Nothing un
pleasant occurred to maF the pleas
ures of the occasion, and all went
home highly delighted with the even
ing’s enjoyment. The occasion was
a happy, joyous one, and places an
other feather in the cups of the gallant
“Stonewalls.”

county, and to this end the Agricultu
ral Society will bend every effort.
Fuller particulars nnd the progress

The Grangers’ Picnic.
A\ e attended the second annual
picnic given by the Grangers ofGroo
vervillc neighborhood, at Elam
church, one mile beyond the village
of Grooverville, last Saturday. A fair
er, lovlior day never dawned than was
ushered in by that morning’s sun, and
by 9 o’clock the natives began to as
semble, and soon the woods around
wers echoing and reverberating with j
t he dulcet strains of tho Quitman Cor
net B nd.
The grounds where the picnic was
held is densely shaded by the heavy ]
foliage of large oak and hickory trees, '
which are now and then looked down !
upon by the evergreen branches of
towering pines, making one of the
most benutiful groves and romantic
rambling places we have ever seen,
the rocky hillsides of North Georgia
| not excepted.
, The good people of Grooyorville
! neighborhood have lor years borne j
j the reputation of having more good j
I things to eat than the generality of
| South Georgia farmers, and owing to
| this fact wo expected to see a greater
| number of picnicers than were there
I last Saturday: AVe were gratimd to
notice that the gathering was free of
j drones and dead beats and composed
i entirely of respectable, well-to-do
farmers and their invited gneßts.
| The crowd numbered, we suppose,
I about three hundred, nod we must
! say that it was never our pleasure to j
; be among a more sociable and hospi
! table people.
i Of all the picnics we have ever at
tended in Brooks county, or else
where, we never saw a better or more
bonutiful dinner than was spread b< -
fore ns on this occasion. Hamper bas
kets full of such good things as can j
come alone from a well regulated and 1
prosperous farm were brought in from
every' direction, and, when consolidat
ed, would have made three days’ ra
tions for a hungry regiment.
If there is ever a time when a coun
try editor will have an eye to busi
ness it is when there is something
good to eat on hand, and, true to our
calling, when dinner was announced
we suffered ourself to he enticed down
to tho end of the table where such
commodities as smoking hot cabbages,
cold slaugli, Irish potato and chicken
salad, turkey, roast pig and sweet
meats to suit were apparently most
abundant. It was thou and there
that we met Mrs. Dr. Groover; then
and there that we concluded uuani
mously that we would not be afraid
to put that two dollars that Mr. Juo.
H. James, banker and candidate for .
Governor, paid us for a year’s sub- j
scription to the Reporter the other j
day, against the contents of a foreign j
mission church contribution box, that
that lady can stand a hand with any
Granger’s wife iu the couutry when it
comes to fixing up a variety of good
dishes. And then, moreover, she
knows just exactly how to curry down
a hungry man’s feelings when she un
dertakes to satiate his appetite. If it
is ever our good fortune to attend an
other picnic iu that neighborhood.
when dinner time comes we shall keep \
an eye on Mrs. Groover and the beau
tiful and amiable Miss Rockwell, who
made the dish of Irish potato salad
that we made look like—well, some
thing that had been struck by light
ning—before we got through with it.
The Quitman Cornet Band dis
coursed some of its best and liveliest
music during the day, and added
much to tho pleasantness of tho occa
sion. Its members were shown mark
ed attention by the hospitable people
of the neighborhood, and all returned
home well pleased with their trip.
Taken all together, the second an
nual picnic, ol Grooverville Grange,
would be hard to surpass, in this or
any other country, in puiut of socia
\ bility, good eating, and real, nn
• •■vamped enjoyment.

The People Want Proof.
There is no medicine prescribed by \
physicians, or sold by Druggists, that
carries such evidence of its success
aud superior virtue as Boschee’s Ger
man Stri p for severe Coughs, Colds J
settled on the Breast, Consumption, or i
any disease of the Throat and Lungs.
A proof of that fact is that any per
son afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle i
for 10 cents anil try its superior ef-i
fects before buying the regular size at ]
75 cents. It has lately been intro
duced in this country from Germany,
and its wonderful cures are astonish-1
ing to everyone that use it. Three j
doses will relieve any case. Try it.

There is no person living bnt what
billers more or less with Lung Diseas
es, Coughs, Colds or Consumption,
yet some would die rather than pay
75 cents for a bottle of medicine that
would cure them. Dit. A. Buschke's
i German' Sybuh has lately been intro
duced in this country from Germany,
nml its wouderous cures astonishes
every one that try it. If you doubt
what we say in print, cut this out and
take it to Kixyton, and get a sample
: buttle for 10 cents and try it. Two
doses will relievo you. Ilegu’.ir si/o
