Those who owe us on old accounts,before
the war, need not be surprised if waited
upon for settlement by our Agent. You
all know these accounts should be paid up,
for the older an account gets to be, the
less likely it is to be settled at all—and
we hare waited long enough in all con
science. Some men will neglect an ac
count so long that they cease to regard it
as a debt. Others think about paying it.
but continue to neglect it until forgotten
entirely—then when reminded of it. believe
and say they have paid it. In our case,
friends, don't dispute the account, but if
you think it is wrong come to us without
delay, and if wrong you shall not pay .it.
This is fair.
tST’By reference to his card it will be
seen that Capt.C. C. Richardson, formerly
Agent of the Freedman’s Bureau at this
pTace, has returned to Thomasville and
located for the purpose of practising l a w.
He was admitted to the Bar in Loundes

E.4RI.V BEETS.
Alts. M. C. Smith, of Thomasville, sent
to our .sanctum on .Monday a Beet of the
scarlet turnip order, weighing three pounds’
and three quarters. This beet was grown
during, the present season, and is very
large for the brief period it- lias required
to produce it.

While we go to press the young people
of Thomasville are having a gay lime in
the forms and ceremonies of a Sunday
School celebration. Business forbids our
constant presence, and we cannot therefore
extend our remarks ‘ but perhaps the Man
agers will favor us next week with a pro
gramme of the proceedings.
Ktl.l. ARP’S HOOK.
Bill Arp’s Book is n m before the public,
and we acknowledge the receipt of a copy
from the publishing house of the Metro
politan Record, 424 Broome st., New York.
The work has been executed with great
dispatch, and reflects credit upon the pub
lishers. The copy before us is bound in
cloth, well printed and illustrated, having
also a beautiful steel engraving of the au
thor. The publisher announces that while
the price for copies with richer binding
and guilt edges will be §l.-75, the price of
copies not guilt, but bound in plain cloth,
will be $ 1.1)0. This places it within the
reach of all, and we doubt not that the
popularity of the work will find for it abun
dant sale.
e have heretofore stated that Messrs,
Bevill & Bragg, of Thomasville, are tak
ing subscriptions for the book, and our
readers will find them prompt in the trans
act ion of business.
AAOTIIF.It AEH STORE.
Mes rs. McQueen & Mitchell, are now
receiving and opening in the new brick
More on the corner of the Bryan block, a
new and splendid assortment of dry goeds
and groceries, designed to be sold extreme
ly low for cash. They are aware that goods
of all kinds have come down, and have set
their prices accordingly. We saw there
the cheapest pocket knives in this market,
and many other articles so reduced iu price
that we could scarcely believe it. Wc be
eiu to believe what we lately saw in the
Northern papers about the great reduction
in the priec of goods, and if McQueen &
Mitchell go there again soon we shall find
out all about it.
Don't ask what they have in their store—
rather ask what they have not. Almost
anything you wish under the two heads
above written, to which, perhaps, we should
add confectionaries, can be purchased at
their counters.
The proprietors are both well known
citizens of high standing in the community,
and need no encomiums from us. But, we
will mention that wc saw our old friend
“ Boji ” behind the counter, and his face
is good for a large bill at any time.
FREEI)TIi:.\ S CELKBBATIO.X.
We had no room last week to notice the
Freedmen's celebration, which took place
on the preceding Monday. They celebra
ted the anniversary of their freedom by a
full turn out of their benevolent society,
organized in . this place, and marched to
the tap of the drum, in full dress, badges.
&c., &c., to.the grove near the Primitive
Baptist Church, where the more opulent
among them had prepared a feast for the
occasion. As we were not present we know
nothing of the. arrangements there, but the
orator of the day. (Mack Davies,) we un
derstand, gave the assembly some very
wholesome advice, and elicited great ap
plause from his audience. This speech,
we learn, is undergoing correction for the
press, and as it contains about the best ad
vice the orator could give, we will publish
it hereafter for the benefit of the race.
Upon the whole, they behaved remarka
bly well. On the streets they were more
polite than we had ever seen them before—
all owing to Mack's good advice. Although
the town was filled with them during the
day. only one created any disturbance, and
lie was promptly jugged by the police.
This fellow had violated his pledge to the
society and became intoxicated, but the
society repudiated him and he is conse
quently left out in the cold.
They exhibited no disposition for mis
chief or insolence: buts eemed fgreatly
impressed by the forms and ceremonies of
their society, and appeared to have the
most unbounded confidence ia the dignity
of their organization and the ability of
their chosen leaders. Tbese things demon
strate to us one fact we should not lose
sight of: They are apt and ready scholars
at imitation. Their faults are, perhaps,
more the result of ignorance and habit
than inclination, and good examples, sea
soned with a little wholesome advice, will
correct many of them in their intercourse
with both races. The influential among
them go tq the white people for informa
ion on all subjects, and these communicate
it to their fellows. Now that no danger
ous leadership should be established among
them, and no mischievous influence gained
over them by Northern emissaries, our own
people should become their teachers and
instructors in religion, education poli
tics. Many of the most inteiligent among
the colored people hold this view, and
would be delighted to see us become inter
ested in the matter. If the Southern peo
ple do not educate them, the Northern
people will do it to our sorrow. Let every
man look at this matter in the proper light.
They are here among us. and our own in
terests demand that we shall educate them
to think, if possible, as we do.
VALDOSTA.
We visited this flourishing little town
yesterday, and had the pleasure of meet
ing many of our old friends and acquain
tances. We rejoice to find, that notwith
standing the calamities of war. they are in
good spirits, and industriously engaged in
recuperating their broken fortunes. The
Superior Court of Loundes was in session,
.having commenced on Monday, and we
learned that Judge Ilansell was rapidly
disposing of the numerous cases on docket.
Eustace Studstill was to be arraigned to
day on the charge of murder. This case
will probably require several days, and the
Court will net adjourn until Saturday next.
In attendance at the Bar we recognized
the following legal gentlemen:—Of Val
dosta, Col. S. Vi. Baker, J. W. O’Neal,
Bessant, R. A. Peeples, E. C. Morgan,
W. 11. Dasher. Os Thomasville, Hon. J.
L. Seward, Hon. P. E. Love, Col. A. T.
Mclntyre. Col. J. R. Alexander, Col. A. P.
Wright and Sam. B. Spencer, Solicitor Gen
eral. Os Savannah, Mr. Lovell, of the firm
of Law & Lovell. Os Perry, Gen'l Eli
Warren. We were delighted to meet this
old veteran of the Bar, and find him in
such general good health. His honest face
carried us back in memory to the time of
American principles, when Liberty was not
ashamed to lift up her head, and when ty
ranny and despotism dared not show them
selves to the American people. Our young
friend and fellow townsman, Capt. Edwin
T. Davis, arrived at Valdosta on Tuesday,
as a candidate for admission to the Bar.
Ilis examination takes place to-day. We
are sorry we could not be present, but our
knowledge of his ability for the profession
he has chosen, renders it easy to believe
he will acquit himself with honor, and take
a high stand among the young men at this
Bar.

iiiaN. and lively injects !! To appear
oil tlie MtreetM of Tlioniasville, next
Sunday, between tlie hour* of lO A. !
JI. and I E*. .VI.
On this occasion will be witnessed the
unheard of astromical phenomenon of sun
down at noon ! Oh ! wonder of wonders !!
Barnum's “ grand Giasticutus ” ain’t a cir
cumstance compared with this scene.
“ The stars will twinkle (wo by two,” and
rainbows will glide along the side walks,
independent of Mr. Spray !
A sailor will be seen going to Church
over a tcvter-fall! A feat the more remark
able, from the fact, that no water will be
seen—unless it rains, in which event it will
be performed under an umbrella, or more
remarkable still, in a carriage! !!
Rats and mice may be seen eoyly peeping
from beneath the wings of lovely butterflies ;
and other butterflies will be seen affection
ately clinging to the throats of fashionable
young gentlemen, whose breath smells of
caraway seed.’ Kids of divers colors and
various sizes will be seen sporting gaily on
every side, while dhjnified goatees , of every
hue. may be seen quietly reposing beneath
gentlemen’s noses! !
“ Bachelor's die, to improve the appear
ance of moustaches”! ! will be announced
by Charlie, to the astonishment of the very
young gentleman who stands on the hotel
piazza, stroking his downy upper lip, and
trying to look fierce, as the bells go ringing
by, with cross -bows, aping graceful atti
tudes.
Gipsies will be seen triumphantly cling
ing to the back hair of unconscious mar
ried ladies; and if a sudden- rain should
fall, you may look out for “ y’alter ”-gaiters
on the side walk; and strangely enough,
somebody's clock-work will get slightuallg
muddy.
“ Tresses’ raven ” will be seen floating
gloomily along, bitterly jealous of the gold
en locks carried on the heads of the youug
ladies across the way!
Apollo, Adonis. Calypso and the Graces
will, on this glorious occasion, deign to
visit this mundane sphere ; and your clas
sical friend will astound you with the ex
clamation, “ Circe is a belle,” (Sir see Isa
bel” . as that “divine creature ” flits by,
trying to look unconscious, but without
a—veil; how can she ?
It is too late in the season for Aubia to
be represented, but other African provinces
will be, such as Look-mad-al-while-fokes. and
Tay - call -the- side -tc auk , both very long
names, but each being as much a province
oi Atricans as To-luk-blak. Not the least
entertaining part of the exhibition will be

in company with a few small
smoking ten cent cigars, and spitting in
style.

HORRIBLE .VIERDER AMD BOR
IS ERV.
I
| On Babbath rooming last a fisher
roan on his way to his basket discover
ed the body of Master Riley Martin,
near the cemetery of this city, lying
covered with blood, in a dying condi
tion, and insensible. On examination,
it was discovered that some villain had
shot him in two places—first on the
back of the head, and then in the right
temple. He then dragged him about
thirty feet, to the foot of a live oak,
whre he rifled his pocketrs ,securing
the key of the store of 31 r. J. 0. 3lar
tix, the uncle of the youth, for whom
he was clerking, which was, doubtless,
the only object of the assassin for thus
i murdering in cold blood, his unsuspect
ing victim. The murderer then re
turned to the store of Mr. Martin
and robbed it of about eight hundred
dollars.
Suspicion was soon directed to one
r>r. Andrew F. Hancock, a sojourn
er in our midst, who had himself writ
ten out a notice, offering a reward of
five hundred dollars for the apprehen
sion of the murderer of young 3IAR’
tin, and was, in an excited manner,
procuring signatures to this notice
from oui principal citizens ! After his
arrest, seven hundred and sixty dol
lars were found in his boot leg; the
coat he had worn the previous night,
after a search, was found in the bot
tom of his trunk with blood upon it;
liis pistol, also, wgs hid under his mat
rass with two barreis discharged, and
the pistol itself stained with gore,—
3luch other evidence, equally strong,
was adduced before Judge Crawford,
of the County Court, and Judge Av
-IRETT, of the Inferior Court, before
whom the trial of Hancock for com
mitment, on the charge of murder, was
brought. After a patient investiga
tion the prisoner was committed for
the crime alleged, and was forthwith
sent to the jail in Albany, for safe
keeping, to await his trial at our next
Superior Court, which sits the second
3londay in July prox.
