The writer, having changed his base from
the orange groves and limpid lakes of
Florida and her soa-washed coasts, to the
red old hills of Georgia again invites the
reader to accompany him in his rambles,
pausing from time to time at some of the
innumerable towns and hamlets that dot
the lines of railroad which cross and recross
.our grand commonwealth in every direc
tion. And this time having dropped down
the Central railroad from Macon to Tennille
md thence proceeded to Sandersville, let
us halt for a night at that pretty town
We found the people enthused and
txcited over the great event of
the year, the commencement of their
High School. This has been going on for
several days and was drawing to a close
Having already been anticipated in the
local prints, of course we shall not go over
the same ground again. Bui; in passing, it
may not be too much to say that all the ex
excises were highly creditable, and the pro
gramme of the exhibition which the writer
was privileged to attend was both varied
and attractive. The small boys’ drill,
“Lighthearts’ Pilgrimuge,” ' The Train to
Mauro,” the military evolutions of the girls,
the singing, dialogues, etc., were all weli
rendered und “cheered to the echo."
Prof. Lawson, an old veteran of the First
Georgia Regiment, showed by the way he
handled these juvenile soldiers of both sexes
that the lessons of the war had by no means
been forgotten. He is deservedly considered
one of the best educators in the State. The
average attendance of pupils at the High
School during the past year was 185.
THE HEW AUGUSTA RAILROAD
has benefited or injured Sandersville. The
latter view seems to prevail, as much cotton
is diverted over that road to Augusta
which was formerly marketed there. It is
hoped that Col. Alexander will make kuch
reductions in to Savannah as will
cjjieck this loss to the Central, which
threatens to become quite serious.
Col. Gilmore and his excellent lady con
tinue to be largely patronized, and their
house is the favorite resort of the dis
criminating traveler. His splendid milch
cows and blooded stock are the admiration
of all who behold them, and afford an
abundance of the richest Jersey butter and
milk for the guests of the hotel.
TENNILLE.
Business was rather quiet in this thriving
town, but the merchants are Veil content
with the outlook and are expecting an un
precedented trade the ensuing fall. They
are full of energy and enterprise, and the
progress of the place is simply wonderful.
Such magnificent crops of corn and cotton
have not been seen at this stage of the sea
son during the last decade. The former has
been “laid by," and recent copious rains will
assure a generous harvest. The cotton
stands are uniformly good, the fields neatly
cultivated and the weed for the most part
well grown and fruiting finely. Verily, the
time” so long waited for seems to be
near at hand. Bo mote it be.
THE TENNILLE HOTEL,
formerly known as the Franklin House, has
been repaired and nicety furnished, and is
now r admirably kept by* Mr. H. S. Hatch.
The rooms are pleasant and fare excellent.
It is the popular hostel of the place.
Branching off at this point, your corre
spondent traversed the entire length of the
Wrightaville and Tennille and Dublin and
Wrightsville railroads, and was surprised to
pote the improvements that have teen made
within a single year. Fifteen sawWnillsand
four turpentine distilleries are in operation,
and an average of thirty loaded cars pass
over the line daily. The road
HAS MADE MONEY,
but it has been wisely expended in “better
ments” such as the lowering of grades, the
filling up of trestles and the purchase of
rolling stock. It will soon pay generous
dividends. To that clever gentleman and
man of all work, Mr. W. C. Matthews, of
Tennille, the writer is indebted for this in
formation and many courtesies.
DU ELLIN.
This ancient town is greatly elated over
its crop and railroad prospects. We were
agreeably disappointed to find trade quite
active. Every merchant Reemed to be doing
something, and one of them, Mr. J. T.
Smith, had his store crowded with customers.
This gentleman handles most of the wool
brought here. The clip will not exceed an
average the present year, but commands
full prices.
There was more money in sight than in
any inland town we have seen. This is due
to the monthly disbursement of wages to
the multitude of lumber, turpentine and
raft hands in the vicinity, and the sales of
these two leading staples in the market, to
say nothing of the wool yield. When the
projected railroad to Savannah. Macon and
Binningham. has been completed, as it cer
tainly will be in the not distant future,
Dublin will "be one of the most important
trade centres in the interior of Ueorgia. The
great want is a
COMMODIOUS HOTEL,
With all the modern appliances. The fare
and beds of the “Troup House," and the
attentions of Mr. G. S. Hooks, its genial
proprietor, leave nothing unsupplied that
the reasonable guest could desire, but he has
not half room enough.
Dublin met with a serious loss in the re
cent sinking, by contact with a raft, on the
Oconee, of her only steamboat. But meas
ures have boon promptly taken for tho pur
chase of another steamer to take its place.
In the moamvhile, the accumulation of
freight on the river banka awaiting transjtor
tation is very heavy. Upon the arrival and
departure of every train on the railroad.
Mr. T. M. Hightower, with a neat omnibus
and strong team, is ready to take all passhii
gers to and from tho hotels.
The writer tenders y* thanks for courte
sies received from the press gang of Dublin.
Me spent anight at
WRIGHTSVILLE,
the county site of Johnson, and found trade
dull, hut the.merchants in good spirits and
rejoicing at the prospect of abundant har
vests. The town is pleasantly located lte ;l
rolling pine region, and must bo quite tree
from malarial exhalations. But the com
munity has been scourged of lata wan
measles, succeeded bv virulent dysentery.
One citizen in the vicinity buried his wife
ami threokhUdren in a single month, and
another lost four children from this terrible
complication of diseases. An interment nt
a child 7 years old took place on the after
noon of our visit. The visitation of measles
seems to have been general all over the
Btate the past spring, and tho mortality
Among adults especially oxooeds all prece
dent. It is a disease not to lie trifled with,
as the-after effects are even more to be
feared than the acute attack.
A NEW HOTEL
Messrs. L. Davis & Brother having pur
chased tho “Arlinq. House" and premises,
will hrect forthwith anew and elegant hotel
with twenty-four rooms, and all the modern
conveniences. The contract has already
tX‘n given out und the lumlier purchased
anil .paid for. These gentlemen ore au

is quite an cxicn-i ve wool market, and many

LOUISVILLE.
This erstwhile capital of the State which
is reached by a branch road from Wadley,
was in a ferment of excitement on the day
ot our arrival. Five thousand people, we
are ashamed to say many of them decent
looking white females, with, a few young
maidens, had come from long distances to
witness the lugubrious spectacle. There
had not been a hanging here since the exe
cution of three negroes for the murder of
tneir master before the war, and Jefferson,
Glascock, Washington and Burke counties
were numerously represented at the gal
lows. fhe darkies surrounded the jail and
kept up a constant parley with the prisoner
inside. One woman yelled out:
Whll, Fred, don’t you know me!”
“Oh, yes,” was the reply, “you is Sally
“How do you feel to-day, Fred!’’
‘Fust rate,” was the rejoinder.
Another solemn looking old fellow asked
the criminal “ef he didn’t pray none.”
“\ es,” he said, “I prays all de time.”
The final scenes at the gibbet have already
been given to the reader by telegraph. No
stronger argument against public execu
tions could be afforded. Many regarded
the perpetrator of one of the most diabolical
murders on record in the light of a martyr,
and sonorous amens and- expressions of sym
pathy were to be heard during the utter
ances of criminal and clergy from the scaf
fold. At the same time there is little doubt
that a reprieve from the Governor would
have been the greatest possible disappoint
ment to a majority of the negroes present.
Such scenes serve but to whet the appetite
for blood and imbrute the senses of the un
tutored masses. While the multitude were
witnessing this sickening tragedy from tree
top, hillside and every description of vehicle,
the mercury stood
ONE AND THREE DEGREES
in the shade and the sun's rays might have
cooked an egg.
Louisville boasts a capital boarding house,
the Central Hotel, kept by Mr. H. Fay and
wife. The latter is a host within herself
and is almost übiquitous in the effort to
please her guests. On the day of the “hang
ing” she performed prodigies. It is an “ill
wind that blows nobody any good,” and
from sun to sun the merchants reaped a
steady harvest of dimes and nickles from the
ebony crowd. ‘An agreeable change from
the excruciating dullness of the preceding
days. The crops in Jefferson county are
superb.
In Wadley the writer spent the night at
the Doha van House which it is always a
real pleasure to visit. It is regarded by the
drummers as one of their pet stopping
places. Trade w r a.s very quiet, but the
people are serenely quaffing their delicious
artesian and patiently awaiting the opening
of the cotton season.
BARTOW.
We drove over in a buggy from Wadley
to this thriving place, which will be incor
porated when the Legislature meets. The
leading spirit and richest capitalist is John
A. McMillan, Esq., who owns tho larger
portion of the real estate in and arpund the
village, and does an immense mercantile
business. Among the recent improvements
is the handsome new store of Speir &
Brown, which is crowded with goods in
great variety. Mr. W. C. Smith has also
largelv increased his stock of merchandise.
W. J. Evans is the gentlemanly railroad
agent and Notary Public, and Mr. George
T. Palmer continues to perform the duties
of Southern Express agent to the satisfac
tion of every one. Two artesiau wells dis
pense their pluvial blessings to the commu
nity, and their waters are declared to be
highly beneficial in all complaints of tho
stomach and kidneys.
When the town has been regularly laid
out and incorporated, its onward progress
will receive a great impetus. The Morning
News Is the favorite journal here.
swainsboro,
the seat of justice for Emanuel county, is
situated eighteen miles from the, Central
railroad, in an elevated and beautiful {line
region, with tho clay cropping out to the
surface, showing a kind ojid pro

can be made, by judicious fer
tilizing and tillage, to produce the most
surprising results. And this was clearly
manifested by the immense fields of luxuri

When the concern is incorporated, however,
Maj. Wallace and his associates may have a
word to sav in the premises.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Recently the train when nearing Swains

barolv gotten across when the bank caved,
earning with it several arches of the bridge.
This was from the lack of braces. They

A WOMAN AT THE FORGE.
She Does the Work of a Blacksmith
as Well as Her Husband.
A dispatch from Beaver- Falls, Penn., to
the Philadelphia News says: A little wo
man, fair-haired and blue-eyed, with sleeves
above her elbow's, standing before an anvil
in a tumble-down blacksmith shop at the
outskirts of this town, sturdily striking
with a hammer a piece of red-hot iron held
by some person on the other side, has often
during the past five years attracted tho at
tention of passers by
“Some flighty thing making believe she is
developing ner* muscle,” has been the com
ment of careless observers. Those who
have taken pains to inquire have learned
the story of a woman whose devotion to her
husband and children under adverse cir
cumstances is worthy of record. In the
face of bitter want and privation, the fair
haired, blue-eyed little woman stands forth
a shining example in an humble way of
what woman can do when she will.
A BLACKSMITH.
Several years ago the family, consisting
of Mr. and Mrs. John Murray and five chil
dren, moved here from the East, rented a
small house and shop near by, and the hus
band began husiness as a blacksmith. Mr.
Murray was a good mechanic and soon he
hail all he coulddo in his calling. At times,
though, he showed signs of possessing an
education far above that of the common
run of mechanics, and people wondered that
one of his ability should engage in such an
occupation. The wife also showed signs of
superior intelligence and education.
It was not long, however, before Mr. Mur
ray began to neglect his w'ork. In a short
time his trade began to fall off and he was
reduced to the direst poverty. AA’ith a
family of little ones looking to her fdr help,
and w ith faith in her husband, Mrs. Murray
took her place alongside of him at the forge
as his helper, and by her constant presence
and cheerful voice, together with the skill
she evinced in handling the sledge, soon
weaned him from his intemperate habits.
hOrseshoer and farmer.
This has continued for several years now,
and the wife is almost ns good a mechanic
as the husband. Constant practice with the
heavy sledge has made the once fair arms
like those of an athlete, and the big museles
stand out like knotted whip cord. In the
use of the small hammer she is quite expert
also, and during her husband’s absence can
do almost any job requiring the skill of a
blacksmith. "She can forge a horse’s shoe,
fashion the nails also to fasten it to the
horse’s foot, and place it there with the skill
of a most expert farrier.
But this is not all. In addition to assist
ing her husband at the forge she has in high
state of cultivation about a half an acre of
garden truck in the patch which surrounds
the house. A large flock of chickens and
other domestic fowl grow big and fat in an
enclosure prepared for t,heni, and last, but
not least, tho five little children, the eldest
of w horn is but 12 years old, are comforta
bly dressed, well fed, and are being well
educated in tho common schools.
A CLASSMATE OF WILKES BOOTH.
Murray was born and reared in Baltimore,
is a graduate of one of its colleges, and was
a classmate of J. AVilkes Booth. After
leaving college he studied for the ministry
of the Catholic church. He abandoned that
calling before taking full orders to follow
tho profession of an actor, for which he
showed marked ability. From the stage
drifted to other things, and Anally landed
in Beaver Falls.
French Women as Gamblers.
Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
The Paris gambling hells are rather busy
just now, more particularly those in which
women play. A police inspector and his
men made two swoops yesterilay evening.
In one place in the Rue de la Terrassee fif
teen demi-moridairies were plaving with all
their might when the agents of the law en
tered the room and seized a sum of about
£250 which was on the table, as well as tfce
roulette and the dice. A loss important seiz
ure was effected in a house in the Rue de
Jaequemont, were fifteen females of the fash
ionable cocottc tyjxi W’cre at the tables. One
of them remarked to tho police that she
wished they had put in an appearance on the
night before, ns they miglyihuvo hindered
her from losing an iiiKigniT Vt matter of
£3OO or thereabout. In *. ‘nhtoo about

of the hells were arrested,”] .frillwrs being
allowed to go away. ThoFjmia for gam
bling in belli and on the racecourses which
hasTieen develop'd of late years among the
Paris courtesans from the mouavette or
troltuse of the streets to the dashing Aspa
sias of the boudoirs and the Bois, is, accord
ing to tho best social authorities, to be traced
part ly to the decline in their ignoble earn
mgs and jiartly to their desire to kill time,
which hangs heavily on their hands. IVe
are far from the dazzling demiinondaines
described by the younger Dumas in the
“Lady of the Canielias," who, like Anna
Deslions, literally flung their gold away to
show that they despised it, and who, when
playing, were absolutely indifferent to their
gains or lossee. Nowadays the frail denizens
of the Quartier Breda and the Quartior de
I’Europe plav methcslicallv and with a ven
geance. In the same way they gamble on
the turf, and it is even complained by their
admirers that they sink their passion for
dress and appeal', contrary to all the canons
of Parisian millinery, in slovenly water
proofs and ill-fitting boots on the Pelouse of
Longchamps or Chantilly, so absorbed are
they in their betting speculations.
