QUITMAN:
THURSDAY. MAY 25, 1870.
Postponed.
The entertainment by the Quitman
Amateur Minstrels, which has been
advertised for to-morrow night, has
been postponed until Friday, Juno
2nd. This is done on account of sev
eral of the principal actors belonging
to the Brass Bntifl, which has prom
ised to go to Thomasvillo to-morrow,
and in order not to conflict with the
Floral Fair. Itomeuiber the enter
tainment will come off on Friday
night of next week.
Our Taxes.
Wo have had a good many inqui
ries of late ns to what the Stnto and
County Tuxes for the present year
will bo, and for the information of all
interested we will state that the Stato
tax will be just fifty cents, and the
County tax thirty-two and a half
cents on the hundred dollars, making
nn nggregato of eighty-two and a half
cents on the hundred, or eight dol
lars and twenty-five cents on the
thousand dollars.
Tnrpentine Farming.
We are glad to see that an increas
ed interest is being maifested among
the land owners in this vicinity in the
turpentine business. We notice the
crude coming in to market every day,
and it is bought and paid for in cash
by Mr. Cyrus McNeill, who is now
kept busy distilling all the time. We
have some ac fine itimber lands with
in a few miles of Quitman as can be
found anywhere, and as we have no
market for' the timber, this turpen
tine business, which is, as yet, anew
thing in this section, promises to re
ceive nolittle attention.
Another Fire.
"The fire fiend broke out in tbe barn
yard buildings of Mr. R. B. Wooten,
two miles west of Quitman, last Mon
day afternoon. When first discover
ed tbe fire was in the corn crib, and
there being a good deal of fodder and
other coiftfeHstiifole matter in the bnild
ing, the lames soon spread beyond
control. Mr. Wooten and his hands
were off infiiae field at work, and Miss
Wooten was the only person about
the place, and she was unable to do
anything without assistance. The
corn crfb, fodder *<S eat house and
bugarv shed, tegrffcer with abowi twcn
ty-five bushels of corn, throe or four
hundred .pounds of fodder and ten
wagon.loads of new oats, were entire
ly consumed. Five bread of hogs,
which were under the crib, and a bug
gy under the shod were also destroyed.
We learn that Mr. Wooten estimates
his loss at about four hundred dollars.
The origin of the fire cannot bo ac
counted for.
Spurious Butter.
We have never before heard such
complaint among our grocers and
housekeepers as is bow being made
nbout spaefians butter. It is a shame
ful fact that more than one half of tbe
country butter now brought to town
is so rancid and adulterated with tal
low that it is unfit for use. House
keepers have been, swindled in such
butter until they are getting so tboy
will not buy it out of the stores with
out first ascertaining who made it,
and this may explain to some of the
people who bring batter to town why
they sometimes find it difficult to dis
pose of it. Those who are known to
giakcgood butter can always find
ready sale for it atfair prices, and we
coaf4 aanse ladies whose butter is ea
gerly fi&kion at to ten eents
per pound in advance of tlie market
price, just because the parties buying
it know they are getting something
clean and fresh.
The Public Debate drew quite a
respectable crowd of ladies and gen
tlemen last Friday night, evidencing
the fact that our citizens feel inter
ested iu the progress of our young
Debating Society. The discussion
of the question, “Is the mind of man
superior to the mind of woman?
proved quite interesting to the audi
ence, especially the ladies, as was
clearly demonstrated by one of the
speakers maintaining the negative
having a beautiful boquet of flowers
thrown at his feet by one of our most
intellectual and handsome young la
dies, whilst he was giving ye local par
ticular blazes for contending, iu his
timid, feeble' way, that the mind of
man ipffs superior to that of woman,
fjeamon (he’s the mau that got the
blossoms.) has worn a smile ever since
that night, and when he goes to sleep
he dreams eloquent dreams, and is
o*ten heard making such gallant, pa
thetic exclamations as “Woman, oh,
woman ! what would this world be
without thee!"

Fire.
On last Tuesday afternoon about 2
o’clock the principle business portion
of our town was thrown ino a state of
great excitement by the alarm of fire,
which came fi om the residence of Mr.
J. B. Creech. The fire was discover
ed to be between the ceiling and roof
of the building, and had it not boon
for the promptness with which it was
worked upon by thoso who reached
it in time the entire house would have
been enveloped iu flames in a very
few minutes. The fire originated just
behind the mantle piece in a wooden
bar in the chimney, .from which the
flames ascended the woatherboard
ing, and made its way above tho ceil
ing, At one time it was thought im
possible to arrest its progress, but all
fears were soon dispelled when a hole
was made and a few buckets of water
were thrown in from the roof. No
great damage was done to the build
ing, but it will take Mrs. Creech a
week to get her house cleaned up and
domestic affairs regulated again.
The Madison News stole its two
leading locals out of the colunas of the
Hemetse last week.
EHIBITION AT GKOOVEHYILLE.
Trip to Groovervillo l'lcnlc on the
Way,
[Special for the Rspobteu. ]
On last Friday morning, in compa
ny with a friend, wo left Quitman for
Groovorville, to attend, by invitation,
nn exhibition, consisting of charades,
tableaux, etc., to be given by the
young people of Groovervillo and- vi
cinity.
Wo had learned of a picnic to be
held the same day at the place gener
ally known as Brooks’ Bridge, being
immediately on our route. Being in
vited to be on hand, wo accordingly
struck camp upon our arrival thero,
and though the crowd was small in
numbers, yet it was a thoroughty on
jo.vilblo one,and when the table was
spread with its choice eatables we
thanked our stars that our lot was
cast on that occnsiou with that little
band of good people. By way of ex
planation to the party, for the vora
cious eating of our friend, wo will
state that having overslept himself
that morning no opportunity was of
fered him to breakfast, until the hour
for dinner.
About 3 o’clock wo resumed our
journey, and in due time arrived in
Groovervillo, where active prepara
tions were in progress for the coining
event. Upon being allowed a visit lo
the hall we beheld with surprise a
large and tastefully arranged stage,
which would havo done credit to a
more extensive and permanent com
pany. The hall was large and com
modious; seats being provided for
all.
This company, under the efficient
management and direction of Rev. C.
S. Rockwell, of the Groover
ville Academy, has been for some time
preparing and rehearsing the various
pieces, until they had perfected them
selves in memory, with the view of
making it the best they have ever
held, and rendering the exercises es
pecially attractive and appreciative to
their audience. At 3J o'clock a largo
assemblage was in readiness awaiting
the rise of the curtain. With Mrs.
Rockwell, an excellent musician, at
the piano, at the sound of the “sigual
march” the actors in double file ap -
peared at the doer, and moving in
beautiful procession to the left en
trance of the stage, disappeared be
hind the seenes. Immediately the
tinkling of a bell announced the ex
hibition had bogun, and when the cur
tain again rose, the attention of all
was riveted upon the stage and.its oc
cupants.
Wo .'.juwnu. 1 with lwief comments
the order of exercises, which opened
with the charade “Independent,” a
spirited piece in two seines, followed
by music. When the curtain was
again lifted a sight beautiful and
touching greeted the eyos of the au
dience, a tableau, “The kindona of the
fairy queen,” a large throne erected
in the centre of the stage upon which
in royal splendor sat the queen, sur
rounded by a host of lovely attend
ants so nicely arranged and impress
ive as to elicit numerous ejaculations
of surprise and admiration.
This wa3 succeeded by thte laugha
ble charade, “All's well that ends
well," in wich Dr. Ivillorcuro (Dr.
Joinei') dispensed his medicines and
directions in a manner well partaking
of his name. The character of Mrs.
Fluniiagin (Miss Lula Joiner) was
well sustained, and rendered attract
ive by the successful imitation of tbe
Irish brogue and actions. The inter
mission was filled by music, accompa
nied by a song, “Maid of Athens,” by
Misses Rockwell and Joiner. A tab
leau next,in which we expected anoth
er delightful surprise similar to the
former, but when the curtain rose,
horrors! before us was depicted vivid
ly the old story of “Blue Beard and |
his wives.”. Hung upon tho walls
were the heads of those he had sacri
ficed, and beneath his clutch, with
upraised sword, was another fair
tun.
This was followed by charade—
“ Politician” —an excellent hit on pres
ent government, succeed by music
and song, “I’ll remember you love in
ray prayers,” well rendered. The next
charade was good. Scene Ist., man;
Scene 2nd., age; Scene 3rd., manage,
succeeded by the concluding piece, a
tableau, “camp scene,” accompanied
by a song, “Camping on the old bat
tle ground.” It was a striking rep
resentation of old times to those
whose past experience was in con
formity, and enlisted breathless at
tention and admiration while on the
stage. This couoluded the exhibition
at 11 o’clock.
The whole was a complete success,
and gave evidenco of training and
study to a marked degree.
We beg to bo pardoned for ft few
personalities, and would not detract
from tho merits of any, for all done
their part well. Miss Lula Joiner in
deportment and grace of action on the
stage was uu-oscelled. She also sus
tained the oharaeter of Mrs. Flanua
gin with marked success. Conspicu
ous among the liveliest was Miss
Hannah Rockwell and sisters, whoso
untiring efforts and assistance con
tributed greatly to the success of the
entire programs o.
Misses Lee, Livingston and Ram
sey well sustained their characters.
Among tho gontloinon wo noto Messrs.
Williams, Kemp, Lee and Ramsey.
Tho names of others who deserve
mention wo were unable to learn. The
audience was orderly and attentive,
and we think' well pleased with the
efforts to entertain them.
Saturday morning we had the ex
quisite pleasure of a gatno of croquet
with several young ladies and gents
iu tho grove at Elam church, which
we enjoyed hugely.
Our thanks to Misses Ramsey,
Rockwell aud Joiner for kindness and
courtisies extended. Wo returned
homo in tho afternoon, highly [(leas
ed gratified with our visit, hoping
that at no distant day wo maybe per
mitted the pleasure of joining them
again in their amusements, so pro
ductive of happy hours.

The Brooks County Agricultural
Society proposes to have a geucral
meeting of farmers in Quitman on
July l.st next. Gov. Smith and Hon.
A. T. Mclntyre are to be invited to
address the meeting.
They expect to havo a good time as
there will be a basket dinner on the
grounds. Now, Gentlemen, get up a
prize for tho best watermelons and
the most of ’em and ask us down—
won’t you ? TkomaaviUe, Enterprise.
No, sir-ree, brother Davies, we
can’t do it. “They expect to have a
good time,” but, for this very reason,
politicians and newspaper men have
been expressly left out of the pro
gramme.
That Traveling; Store.
From the AVayeross Headlight.
Mn Editor: I notice in tho Quit
man Reporter, of last week, a com
plaint filed by a merchant, who says
that the paymaster of the Atlantic and
Gulf railroad is furnished free trans
portation and carries with him a trav
eling store, in which he pays off em
ployees of the road with his goods
and wares, and not .the due bills of
tho road issued by the company, to
the detriment of merchants along the
line of said road.
Asa former employee of the road,
perhaps I can throw some light on this
question that will, in part at least,
satisfy the Quitman merchant. In the
first place, it is optional with em
ployees of the road whether they buy
goods of the paymaster or not. They
I can if they choose exact the hills, and
; they are promptly paid and no fur
; ther questions asked. That has been
my experience. The paymaster lias
been induced to supply employees
with necessaries for their families, who j
1 arc so renmtn from tqivns or cuuntn; !
! stores thaf it would be inPonveilTent
for them to visit audpurchase articles
at any time they might need them;
and, secondly, if employees had the
time, or were to undertake to attend
in person local stores, however in- 1
convenient it might be, they have not j
always the cash to pay for what they j
need, and would be refused in many i
instances credit by the merchants, be-1
sides paying a dearer rate than if \
bought in the way now practiced, j
The plan now pursued has boen car- ■
tried on for- several years—Jjas gained j
general satisfaction—has been an ab
solute necessity and convenience, and j
lias always been attended with fair j
dealing.
