window saw a man with a stick about ti feet
long, to thq end of which was
attached a doth which lie was
bolding just above her husband’s
face. Her screams aroused tier father, F.
J>. Scarlett, v ho came quickiv to tiie room,
anil together they soon ar -used the stupe
fied man to consciousness. The intruder
made his escape, but dropped his stick. The
cl til was a lady's linen handkerchief com
pletely saturated with chloroform. This is
the first instance of this kind ever occuring
in Brunswick. The object was doubtless
robbery, and the room lieing on the ground
•floor, mad* tile drugging i rocess possible at

perous career.

tery Epitaphs.
Gen. Lafayette McLaws read a paper
before the Georgia Historical Society last
night on “The Maryland Campaign of 1862, ’

After the address the Historical Society
held its regular April meeting. There was
very little business of interest transacted
other than receiving the report of the com
mittee appointed in January to devise a
plan for collating and preserving the epi
taphs on the tombstones in the old South
Broad street cemetery.
Mr. W. S. Bogart, chairman of the com
mittee. submitted the report, and with it a
list of over 700 epitaphs which were copied
from the tombstones and monuments by
Mi-ses Addle Wilson and Georgia Wey
mouth.
Misses Wilson and Weymouth are en
gaged upon their new book, "Pic
turesque and Historic Savannah,”
and they tendered the committee
their services in collating the epitaphs.
The work was begun over a month ago, and
was necessarily very slow. It was done
very carefully, however, and as a result the
committee has a complete list of something
over two hundred epitaphs which were ob
tained with very little difficulty, the in
scriptions being clear and distinct. The
list is accompanied by a plat of the
cemetery showing the location of the
tombs. Besides this list there is another of
something over 500 inscriptions, less dis
tinct than the first, and which in some in
stances it was almost impossible to decipher
owing to effjceiuents and the breaking and
crumbling away of the stones.
The oldest date recorded in the cemetery
is 1 1762 and the latest date
is 1861 covering just a century.
From the number of epitaphs in 1830 that ap
pears to have been ■ the most fatal year in
the century, and October of that year was
the most fatal month of any year.
The committee recommended that the in
scriptions be bound together as a volume of
e* itnphs, and that they be filed among the
archives of the society. It also referred
to the willing and valuable services of
Misses Wilson and Weymouth in making
tbeir collection, and, in recognition of their
work, it recommended that they be tendered
a vote of thauks, and also that they be
given the free use of the Historical Society
library and the Telfair Academy in the
prosecution of their literary and art work.
The report was unanimously adopted, and
a resolution by Col. Olmstead indorsing the
efforts of the young ladies in the prepara
tion of their forthcoming book on Savan
nah was also adopted. Misses Wilson and
Weymouth have much of the material for
their book collected and it will pro 1 ably be
ready for the publishers early in the fall.

Dear Bro. Meek, Editor the Central Meth

I see in the last Central that you want a
sick headache remedy. I suffered from
sick headache almost from infancy, and
tried every remedy I could get, but never
found anything to do me good until I used
Simmons Liver Ijpgulator. I feel for any
one that suffers with that terrible disease,
and I hope you will give it atrial. C. S.
