THE CUTHBERT APPEAL Home Allhirs. Og3T “Spike trains’' are becoming the order of the day hereabouts. Cuthbert “closed up” ycster day, and much “praying,”in way of hunting, fishing, &c., was done. We know a man in this town that’s everlastingly and eternally “bragging” on his bravery, and yet, strange to say (in a horn) he's never “ killed his man ” —if his hair ain’t Wack. That man that said “John the Barber” understood his business, Certainly knew what he was talking about. If you want to be “did up” all right, call and see “him.” Os account of the unprecedented rush of business in Fort Gaines, this Week, our friend Camming, the “ pictur ” man, failed to come to time; but a private note from him assures us he will be here next Week. w eare informed that a per son in Cuthbert has been most ear nestly solicited by two niggers and a small knotty nosed white boy to start another paper here. lie says that if he can only find some man that will sell his cotton crap to buy the material, he considers the in* ducements sufficient, and will em bark at once. ffi®,We went, and we drank, eat and then smoked at the expense of the proprietor of the Brooks House hist Wednesday, and can with truth V that the whole thing was “did ’ in first-class style and order. 3rooks keeps a good house, and ifords us pleasure to say his do- Jg, as lie deserves, a good business. fep' While wo were quietly retiring from public worship on Sunday night week, we were sur prised to find so many suffering from prevailing “ colds.” From the coiKjliinc) we heard, we would suggest that the sufferers use imme diately a box of Bronchial troches. ( fuel at 25 <■. I , box, at fit a t ol ..ur popuhu drag stores. Our baker, one George Ad hms, on last Sunday night “ took With a leaving,” for the reason, we tire told, that he couldn’t meet his obligations. Whither lie went de ponent sayeth not, but suppose he’s gone to a climate where fuel costs less and cakes, bread etc., can be cooked at smaller expense. We have since learned that he is now in Amerieus, and that our friend, W. L. Baldw in, is after him. Dr. Wc itmoland’s profession al card appears in this isue. lie is too well and favorbly known in this section for u3 to say a word. Ilis work is of the best, and his “plugs’’ stick. If you are “ailing'” in his line, call and see him. Bill Dixson has just received a large shipment of Nathan Bro.’s old Rye, North Carolina Corn, and several other standard and popular brands of whiskey, which never tail to go down well. Call on him and try his new stock. tf A few days since one of our young (old) bachelor friends visited Enfaula, when the report was pret ty generally circulated that he vveut in quest of the absent rib. At night several of his asso ciates met at the train to con gratulate him upon his escape from further depredations by fleas, bugs, mice and such other vatmints as in* fest the (old) bachelor’s abode, and impatiently awaited the arrival of the train —each preparing his mouth to say something sentimental as well apropos. Our readers may imagine the disappointment of all preseat, when, upon the train com ing to a halt, Ben was seen sallying forth with a 35 cent frying pan un der his arm, and declaring he could in the future “ flip his slapjacks and hoe cake in a stylo that would make most young girls feel their need of devoting more of their precious time to the study of the lost arts If Ben ever does find “ her,” and forgets the printer, we will tell the balance. According to close count, there have been in Cuthbert, during the past two months, just exactly 1,191 “ Drummers ” of business houses that don’t advertise ! On day before yesterday the wri ter was c< armed ” on one side by a Sewing Machine and on the other by an Insurance Agent at one and the same time. Pretty heavy, but we have survived it. Eldndge Jackson, (Colored) con victed of wife murder, is to be hung on the Bth of January. One more of Mr. White-ley’s pets gone to Ins long home. Amen. The mules belonging to the Ma- C'u street, railroad have been levied ii in consequence of the company not being able to pay their board. Powell’s llall Bast Night— The Wallace's. —lhese talented artists appeared last evening at Powell’s Hail fer the first time to a most, appreciative and fashionable attendance. Their entertainment gave the greatest satisfaction, being of the drawing room type —that is parlor sketches of diversified char acters —a concert and monologue changes. The W a Hack Troupe is quaintly called by themselves a “ Fripolotfue," being three in num ber. Fannie Waback, a lady gf fine appearance with a most pleas ing manner, a highly trained voice of sweetness and power. Watty Wallaek is a comedian of great ver satility and comic humor. Mr. Ri der sings comic songs and enacts every line of character. The programme last evening was most elaborately and judiciously chosen. It commenced with a sparkling original comedy, entitled the comical Countess—in which Fannie Wallaek impersonated three characters most bewitchingly, ably supported by Messrs. Wallaek and Rider. A concert in various cos tumes followed. Mr. Rider’s Hun gry Army being much applauded, aud Mr. Wallaek's songs and duets also pleased, but the gem of the musical olio was Fannie Wallaek’s Italian song, from the opera, of the Barber of Seville, which elicited warm approval. The performance terminated with the comic after piece, “ A Si'ent Woman,” which sent all home in good humor and well pleased with an excellent en tertainment. To night will be an entire change, and the prices of admission are ju diciously reduced to 75 cents all over the hall —no extra charge for reserving seats, and the plan of the room will be open all day at Dr. Powell's Diug store, where tickets can be purchased and seats seemed. For programme, see advertisement. B*s%= In perambulating ’round a few days ago, we dropped into the drug store of our friends J. T. Kid doo & Cos. The polite clerks, Messrs. “ Willie” Russell and “Nick” M. )b wi-.'l ns around, and ju>l lec iV <: ■. A- g . meruit' other tilings ue saw that especially attracted our attention were a most excellent and superb lot of toilet setts, that were “ splendiferous,” and any young lady that wouldn’t be pleased with one as a Christmas present wouldn’t have the apprecia tion she ought to have. Moreover their stock of drugs, etc., is fresh, full and complete, and just a call to look at “ Willie” and “Nick” will amply repay the visit, for their pleasant “ smiles ” will make you feel “just as happy as a big sun flow'd',” etc. &ST" Up to the time of the ap* pearance of last week’s notice in the Early County News of the Junior hereof, he had flattered himself that he was at least a part of a gentle man, but he’s now doubting, and that capitally, lie would most em phatically state that he didn’t want, need nor desire a favorable notice at his hands. If there ever was a mean, contemptible, p usilauimous, hell deserving, hell receiving pUp in tliis broad land, the villain who pre tends to be editor and proprietor of the Early County News is the meanest of the mean. lie is, or ought to be, too well known for any man of anything like decent ideas to have a word to say about. Yet in order td let those who do not know him, become acquaint ed with him, we’ll state Firstly—That he is a scoundrel of the fir&t water. Secondly—That he’s a “ thing”— nothing more. Thirdly—That he knows not the first principles of a gentleman. Fourthly—That he's too low down for any one to give him the respect due to a sheep killing dog, of the “ cur ” kind. Fifthly—That he’s a Pennsylva nia Dutch Yankee, the hollow of whose foot makes a hole in the ground. Sixthly—That if he wants his ped igree written, we feel that we are well enough posted with it to do so. Seventhly—That Ids name is Wal lop Wiggletail Flemming, whoso New York creditors know him to the tune of Upwards of §20,000. With these few remarks we will close this, and, in the language of Brownlow, we’ll say that iV. W- Flemming is most emphatically “ the butt cut of original sin, and the upper crust of all nastiness v— and he knows where our office is. This town has three nigger gro ceries, and one of doubtful color, and somebody in the shape of a would-be -Representative is happy. Oh, ho w we little apples do swim. To his editorial brethren through out the State—with two exceptions —the Junior returns many, many thanks for their most favorable no tices of his connection with the Ap peal, and only hopes that he may come up to £very word of praise said of him. FORT GAINES DEPARTMENT J. L. SAUNDERS, : : : Editor. Abmlt eleven o’clock, A. M., last Sunday, some of the occupants of the jail .were heard crying out very earnestly, “ the jail is on fire —come take us out,” etc. The alarm spread very rapidly, aud soon numbers of the citizens were gather ed at the jail, and found the smoke issuing through the grating of one of the windows in such quantitc-s as showed that the apprehensions of the frightened inmates, who were continuously begging to be released, were not without foundation. As the jailor had the key3 with him in another part of town, and us flames, as well as “ time and tide wait for no one,” an entrance was forced, the prisoners were taken out and removed to a place of safety, and buckets of water having been in the meantime procured, the tire, which had made but little progress, was soon extinguished. The fire originated in a cell in which there were three negroes.— Matches were given them by some party outside, and they were at tempting to burn a hole in the floor and thus make their escape. To prevent being betrayed by the oc cupants of the other cells, they had carefully stopped the cracks of the door communicating with them with cotton and rags, so that the smoke would not pass: but it seems the smoke was blown past tiie win dow of another cell and noticed by those within and the alarm was giv en. But little damage was done by the fire, and that has been repaired. £33rHessrs. Walden and Clarke, Supervisors of S. W. R. 11, are in town yet, superintending the lepairs on the bridge across the river.— Some of the timbers of the piier on the eastern side are decaying ; they will be taken out and a good brick foundation put in and built up about six feet high. A colored Democratic Club was u g;iuiz and here last Saturday night, with thirty two members. The offi cers are as follows : Harrison Lib erty, President; Jesse Hanks, Ist Vice President ; Jack Jones, 2nd Vice President; Ilamp Key, 3d Vice President ; Orin Cornelius, Secretary, and Randolph Thomas, Doorkeeper. The Club will meet on the first Saturday in each month in the Court house. v— The young gentleman are talking of another party this week—a “so cial hop.” It is to be hoped they will remember the croak of the lit tle frog and not hop over him again, it may tickle him to death. The last one 'was quite enjoyable to those who participated, and those who did not dance sat and looked as though they liked—what Was be ing said to them. Such is the End or Man.— The Washington Chronicle says: “The grave of llurace Greeley is without a monument or any special mark oi care* or recognition. It seems that all the adulation and proposed hon or to his memory has resulted in nothing, and ‘he sleeps beneath the sod’ in an unmarked grave, neglect ed and forgotten.” Will our friends in the counties composing the Second District, please let us know how many white men in each county voted for Whiteley ; -also their names?—A/- bany News. We hope some of the knowing ones in Randolph will furnish the News with the names of those who sought to impose upon the whites social equality with the negro. We would suggest that the names of those who, swapped off during our county election, be forwarded also. Let the record made m these last days of Radical rule be perpetuated for future reference. The Democratic majorities in Georgia, at the recent Congression al election, aggregated 58,8333 ! It would have been over 59,000 had Randolph remained true to her for mer record. Still we say “Bully for Georgia.” We trust thq,t the first thing done by Hon. Julian Hartridge and W. E. Smith, the Democratic Congress men elect, after they get to Wash ington will be to lake some steps for the reconstruction of the stupid mail agents in their respective dis tricts.— Quitman Reporter . For fear some of our readers did not “ see it ” last week, we will re announce that “Hi ” Kimball, the big thief of Georgia, has returned to the Boston of the South —Atlan ta —and proposes to re-in vest in all sorts of rascality that he can possi bly get into. The Alabama papers say that it is no uncommon thing to find soiled paper collars, fine tooth combs and old carpet-bags, scattered promiscu ously along their road, since the re sult of the election became known. The tracks of the owners point to wards the North. Bald Mountain is shaking and rubling again. A few nights ago, says the Asheville Expositor, five terrible shocks were felt at the distance of six miles* They were equal to those of last winter. The Expositor surmises that the moun tain is about to burst at last., but the Knoxville Press and Herald be lieves it is only expressing its de light over the Democratic victories Rev. Dr. Dixon, formerly pastor of the Green-street Baptist church, Augusta, which charge he resigned a few weeks ago, has united with the Methodist church in Indiana. The proprietors of the Atlanta Constitution have postponed their lottery drawing until the Blst of December. The Alabama Legislature has convened in Mongomery and organ ized by electing a Den.ocrat Speak er, Clerk and Doorkeepsr- It is rumored that Beast Butler threatens to follow the example of Joe Brown, of Georgia, and become a Democrat.
