attention, grows no better. His leg was
badly shattered iu the accident, and tue at
tending physician suggested amputation,but
the pate nt protested, hoping to save his
I limb. Since that time he has gradually

small.

to the people of Sharon their wrath knew
no bounds, and Edwards worth
went to U'arrenton. An indignation meet
ing was held Tuesday night. After the
meeting Edwards and Duckworth were
burned in effigy. The new post naster has
r.ot yet put in appearance aud the old one
is still iu charge. If Duckworth does take
hold the people will boycott the office en
tirely.
A Carrcllton special to the Rome Tribune
ssys: A romantic marriage occurred here
Tuesday night, which, when made known
Wednesday morning, created a decided sen
sation, the high contracting parties being
Alex Akerman, aged 19, and Miss Minnie
Edwards, aged 17. They had been engaged
for a short time only, but, as iu most case),
the first love was the strongest. The
match was agreeable to both families, who
thought that both parties were too young
at present to take upon themselves a double
life. Tuesday evening the young lover
called to see his betrothed as usual, aud
for a while the conversation was pleas
ant, sweet aud serene, until he was in
formed that she had taken a part in a little
dramatic play to be given there soon, at
which he was not at all pleased, and gave
vent to his feelings in the matter. So, to
make matters straight and have a good
excuse for the young lady not taking the
part, they decided to get married at once.
A marriage license and a preacher were
hurriedly secured, and at 10 o’clock p. m.
they walked into the parlor of Mr. and
Mrs. W. C. Edwards, the bride’s parents,
and surrounded by a few friends were
married.
The people of AthensVare thoroughly
aroused over the appointment of anew
postmaster for that place, and are unani
mous in their opposition to the appointment
of a negro. Postmaster-General Waua
maker seems to have set his head on ap
pointing Mat Davis. The citizens are de
termined to use every effort to keep the
negro out, and anew plan of action has
been adopted. A few days since the Athens
Banner editorial y urged every merchant
and eitizea to use the boycott against any
establisnmeut run by John Wanamaker,
and the editorial is indorsed by the mer
chants of the place. One of the
leading merchants of the city has
written Mr. Wanamaker a Jettor, iu which
lie tells him the community will not submit
to the appointment of a negro postmaster
without disapproval, and will boycott all
of his establishments and urge every mer
chan iu that section of tho state to do the
same. He tells him that the people will
draw to their assistance every newspaper of
Northeast Georgia to denounce his action
and further the boycott. This firm has
ordered largely of one of Wanamaker’*
houses, and it will withdraw its order and
its patronage if he persists In putting in a
negro postmaster. Other merchants in the
city feel exactly the same way.
The vicinity of the Folsom bridge, on
Little river, five miles west of Cecil, was
the scone of what was almost a tragedy.
George T. Rountree had been visiting his
sister, Mrs. Joyce, in Brooks county, since
Saturday night. Returning, be had crossed
the bridge and entered a deep slough on
the Lowndes side. Suddenly, aud without
a sign of warning, he was struck from be
hind. Wheeling around he found two men
on the back of his buggy and at least three
others on the ground. He threw up
his hand and jumped from his buggy. As
lie did so, the report of a pistol rang out,
and the bullet took effect in Mr. Rounlroj’g
right leg, ranging downward. In tho mean
time Mr. Rountree had drawn his own pis
tol and fired at the ruffians, but, unfortun
ately, his pistol refused to revolvo after tho
first shot. The one shot served to frighten
off the gang, however, and they escaped
under cover of tho darkness. The moon
was shining brightly, and Mr. Rountree
was enabled to see that two of the men
were white, and the others black. His
horse escaped during tho melee and he was
compelled to walk nearly tho whole dis
tance to his father’s, whero he resides. He
was treated by Dr. Peers, of Cecil, and
was found to be painfully, though not dan
gerously, wounded. Mr. Rountree has not
yet talkod much about it, and whether or
not he knows any of the ruffians is not
yet known to others.

Orlando Ilecord: A missionary who has
just returned from Africa tells an exceed
ingly interesting incident that happened to
one of his fellow-workers in the “Dark
Continent,” which, we believe, has never
appeared in print before. It seams that
this missionary, being desirous of going in
bathiug, one day, went down to the river
bank, and, laying bis hunting knife and
gun aside, stripped himself of his clothes
and went into the river. While bathing a
crocodile crept up and swallowed the
man’s clothes, and then laid down on the
river bank, a short distance off, to bask in
the sun. The missionary happened to see
the bulgarious action of Mr. Crocolile, and,
coming out of the river, picked up his gun,
whicu, fortuuatelv, had not been touched,
and, aiming at the gator, eye, fired and
killed him. He then took his hunting
knife, aud, ripping open the crocodile,
triumphantly recovered Li* lost suit of
clothes, donned them, and went back to bis
station.
Pensacola Neves: Several years after the
war a lady came to Pensacola ands eight
out some of her former slaves who were
then living at Warrington, on the naval
reservation. To Wai riugton, accompanied
by another lady, she went, and, in a neat
little cabin, found the parties she was seek
ing. The colored people wore highly de
lighted with meeting their old “Missus,”
a>. and the head of the house, a man of more
than ordinary inte.ligence, was polite to
the i.ast degree. He remarked that the hour
was Ist® and asked the ladies if there might
not boa dinner prepared for them in his
h( use, there being no hotel in the
place, and they might feel the need of nour
l bment before they could return to
Pensacola. The ladies assented to
the proposition and the man ret red. While
they were awaiting the meai the accom
panying lady expressed the fear that the
colored family might join them at table,
but the other only remarked, “Wait and
see.” In a short time they were ushered
into a smaller apartment, where stood a
table covered with a clean white cloth, on
w hich was spread a nice lunch. The dishes,
knives and forks were clean, and there,
holding a chair in which to seat his old
mistress, with a fly brush in one hand and a
white apron covering his person from
throat to knees, stood the head of the house;
and, sir, concluded the narrator, that man
man at th>t time was a member of the leg
islature of Florida.
