The convention of the ordinaries of the state which will be held in At lanta July 12 wiU be a notable one In many reflects and the ^personnel of the convention, aside ftom its objects and aims K will be an interesting one. Under the code ot Georgia, and in nearly aU of the states of the union, the ordinary is clothed with veiy great power, and by reason ot bis official poeition, is one ot tho most prominent men in the county. He must be a man of ability and charact er, and moreover, conversant with all the attain of the county. He is en trusted by the law with the custody and execution ot papers which de mand a peculiar talent and hence when an ordinary has shown himself to be. the right man he is usuaUy al lowed to retain the office for quite a number of years; an example of which is the present encumbent of Chatham oounty, J udge Hampton L. Ferrill. Most of the ordinaries have their offices well regulated, and whenever an application is made to them they can refer to the files without the least difficulty. In some of the counties, however, iu the southern or wiregrass portion of the state, it is said there is a painful lack ot system ou the part of mauy of the officials, aud much complaint and trouble baa been the result. A particular object ol the conven tion which will be held iu Atlanta next week, is to establish a uniformity, as far as possible, iu the management of the court ol ordinary throughout the state, and to consider other mat ters of importance connected with the position. The convention wuf probably be iu session lor nvo or three days.—News. W e understand that Judge Merrill will intend the imtii g. lie can give pointers to many of bis oil- leagues.

The Negro Shot by Henry Spen cer Died Sunday, Mose Green, colored, who waa shot by his brother-ip-law, Henry Spencer, several days ago, in (be upper part of the county, died last Sunday. The circumstances surrounding the shooting of Green dates some time back. Green’s wife is Spencer’q sis ter, and they have a daughter about grown. Some weeks ago Green accused Spencer of being too intimate with this daughter, whereupon the Utter became very wrathy and made some threats which frightened Green eo badly that he came to town and swore out a peace warrant before Justice Martin. The* officers went out to arrest Spence on the 28 tK of last month, bnt failed to find him. The same flight Spencer went to Green’s house and shot him in the head with a Win chester rifle. Th6 wound was a very dangerous one, but Green got along very well until Sunday, when'he was taken suddenly worse aud died. Since the shooting Spencer has kept out of the way, but it ie said never left the neighborhood. Sheriff Dose, Deputy She* iff Sia- ;ietary and Constable Kottrr.au went out yeslerdny after him, but up to our hour lor going to- press they bad not returned. Spencer is a very bail and danger- ur negro, aud tho officers went armed with Winchesters, prepaid to bring him back at ail hazards if he could «*e found. He has been in many ugly fights and is considered thoroughly desperate. More than one term be L:*s served Notes From Over the River. Editor Times-Enterprise: According to previous arrangements the children and graodchidren of Mr. T. C. Benton gave him a birth-day dinner on the river on the 30th of June. All of his children was present but two, one being sick and the other could cot reach the place. Nine children and fifteen grand children were present besides their wives and husbandi, and a liost of frienda. At half past twelve the announcement was made that dinner was ready and a better dinner was never set before a king. It is needless to say that all did justice to the elegant repost. Mr. Benton was born in this, couo'y two miles northvof Thomasvilie on the 30th of Jane, 1834. and has resided in the county ever since, with the ex ception jol three years in Liberty county and the time he spent in the war. He went into the confederate army in 1861 and served through the whole war. He was a prisoner i 1 months in Camp Douglas, Chicago. He was a member of company C.,29th Ga., volunteers. This neighborhood has been terror ized by an outlaw recently. -Off June the 26th Mose Green, colored, was shot in the head with a 44 Winchester rifie said to be in the hands of one Henry Spencer, also colored. The neighborhood would be glad if the officers would capture him as he is a dangerous character. Crops are a littie below an average in the forks this year.

W. Everyone can aid the authorities in keeping the town in a good sani tary condition by thoroughly e’eaning up their own premises. A clean town is very tssential at this time of the year. Sometimes the New' York, mail reaches here at 6:30 p. m„ the second day, sometimes at 6:30 a. m. and occasionally at 1 p. m. the third day after leaving New York. Why is this thuely? What’s the matter with the Thom asvilie boys making another date for a gan e with the Little River Club? It would draw a big crowd. The Little River boys play good u straight, honest ball, and do not indulge in any suptnfluous kicking. Notwithstanding the depressed financial condition of the country and the fact that the cigar and tobacco business is always dull at this season of the year, the cigars manufactured in Thomasvilie find a ready sale, and all our factories are running on full time and with fuil forces. An Amuiing Game, game of ba*e bail played on the grounds back of Paradise Park Friday afternoon vw one of the most amusing and thoroughly en joyable ones that. has bceu played here this seasoD.

TRIED TO WRECK IT. * A Passenger Train Ha* A Nar The night pasaenger tain leaving here for Savannah at 7:25 ererj day had a very narrow escape from being wrecked on.

When the engine drew nearer the engineer saw whal it west and hia heart jumped into hit month, as he expected the whole train wooid be thrown down the atesp tmbuk- ment and dashed to piaoea. Two cross-ties had been placed in an ep* right position between the tiea of the trestle by some murderous mhereeat, who had hoped doubtless to thos wreck the train. The engine struck the ties aud tho whole train passed over the trestle before it was brought to a stand-still, When the engineer went back to see what had been done ho found tho two upright ties broken and split into kindling wood, and several oi the large timber! of the treatle broken in- two. The timbers were very rotten, which proved the salvation of the train. If they had been solid, there is no telling wind the result would have been. The-rail* road people have no idea who could have pieced the ties on the track. From now on Thomasvilie should be kept iu as clean condition as pos* Bible.

Why, "Under such unsettled con ii tions, are wc getting along as well as we are? What influence is holding things together aud causing ail factions to wait with confidence the fiual set tlement ol the trouble? It iy the faith of the people in President Cleveland. If a weak, vacillating man were in the chair in whom the people did not have faith there would have been by this time instead of stringency and occa sional failures here and there the wild est state of panic this country ' ever saw. It is the faith of the people in the man at the helm that has ena bled the ship of state to ride so easily on the crest or the waves.—Augusta Chronicle. , Pilcock’i Finances. Somxktille, N.
