your incomparable paper that giinvii-g
the names of sofne of the blooded doge In
your issue of the 15th inst, a good many
of our most esteemed citizens had been
omitted. Will you oblige us by giving
space in your paper for the following no
tice, compiled with care and by refer
ence to best authorities. While in re
gard to pedigree they may not compare
with their more favored friends of Sun
day's issue, still their lives as public
citizens have endeared them to all of ua,
and we I'eel that common justice demands
a suitable recognition of thrfr merits at
our hands:

his attempts towards maintaining his own
dignity and the public peace. It is need
less to s.iy hero that the friends of Mr.

the public is largely in favor of allowing
them a meeting.

I In Sunday night a week ago, W. A. P.
Beeil, who lives on Tugalo ri7er near
Poplar Springs church, was shot on his
way from night meeting. lie was on
horseback and alone, and when in a quar
ter of his home, the ruffian who was
concealed on the road side fired upon
him. The bullet entered his left side,
passed rround the vitaloegans and come
ort on his back.
The mule Mr. Reed was riding jump-
kd when the weapon was discharged,
and ' he was either thrown to the
ground, or fell from the effects of the
shot. It was with great ditficu ty that
he reached home, sometimes walking
and somotimes crawling. It was thought
that he was shot with a rille. The wound
is serious hut net necessarily fatal, and
he will probably recover. We under
stand that Mr. Reed says he saw and re-
eognini/.ed assassin by the flash of
the gun. A vigorous effort ought to be
made by the people living in that part of
the county, to arrest the offender and
bring him to justiae.
THE OLD CEMETERY.
t. X. Timmons Undertakes to Forge a Mat
on rowaU k Davenport.
On Thuraday Mr. W. H. Booth, of
Watkinoville, gave the sheriff of Oconee
county a check, which he had taken op
.he day before from J. M. Timmons, a
former convict of Powell A Davenport,
or $30, and about which ha wax a little
suspicions. The check was on Reaves
& Nicholson and signed by Powell &
Davenport. This check was carried im
mediately to Mr. Powell, in order to gee
if it was alt O. K. It was found to be a
foiged note, and Mr. Overby instantly
started in pursuit of Timmons. It was
ascertained that he had gone from Wat-
kinsvillc to Greensboro, and to this point
Mr. O. went Upon arriving ho found
that Timmons had been there not a great
while before, playing billiards with a
gentleman of the town. This gentleman
was sought for, and when found stated
that he had gone to a broker’s office to
get a chock cashed. Here he had passed
•another check for $50 on the same par
ties. Mr. 0. Then went to the depot
and found that Timmons had bought
ticket and taken the train for Atlanta
He was followed on the next train by the
sheriff, who, upon arriving in Atlanta,
reported to the police headquarters, and
incompany with one or two policemen,
startod in pursuit of Timmons.
A flora long search it was supposed that
he had frequented a house of ill fame,
and inquiring at this place, found that
only one man had been there during that
day, and he was from the country, Mr
0. pretended that this was not the man
he was looking for, and in this way got
out of them a description of the person
which accorded in every respect to Tim
mons. It was found that he had gone
out for an oveuing’s ride, and would
shortly return. It was not long before
he drqye up, when he was arrested by
r. 0. He tried to pass another check
in Atlanta under the name of J. It.
Helms, but could not get any ono to
dentify him—the banks refusin;
cash it without identity. Whsn arrest
ed, he had in his possession a draft hook
with any number of checks written out
and- signed up for different amounts.
The signature which was on each check
that Timmons wrote had great similar!
ty to those written by Messrs. Powell A
Davenport, hut, strange to say, in each
case the name of Mr. Heaves was spelled
wiong. Timmons has been in this con
vict camp before, under tho charge of
arceny, and whille there had learned to
write the name of Powell A Davenport
ss near like the original as possible. He
is now in Oconee county jail, lying in al
most an insensible condition, being the
result of alcoholic poison. When first
placed in jail he was perfectly conscious!
and asked for a razor with which to cut
his threat, as he wished to take his de
parture from this world. Tiinmons is
24 years old, and a native of Greenville

Union Point, Aug. 17.—At a mooting
of the board of director* of the Union
Point and White Plains railroad com
pany, held at Union Point yesterday,
upon motion of Cap*. John Hart, Mr
Harry Hill, of Fulton county, was elect
ed, conditionally, President of the com
pany, and A. B. Tappan Secretary and
Treasurer. This election is to be rati
fied upon the giving of a bond and secu
rity by Mr. Hill within the next ten
days for tho indemnification of the stock
holders upon failure of Mr. Hill to build
the road. Should Mr. Hill fail to give
this bond and security the offices are to
be declared by the board vacant, and the
election null and void. Mr. Hill passed
through here to-day on his way to At
lanta from Augusta. Your correspon
dent learns that Vie has given out the
contract to build the road to Mr. AM J
Twiggs and Mr. , of Augusta: It
specifies that the road shall be com
pleted in sixty days. A force of hands
■and the necessary implements will b
brought up from Augusta to-morrow
and work will at once commence.
Pelitics is the • all-absorbing topic.
There are now two candidates in the
field for senator and four for representa
tives—Mr. W. P. McWhorter and Mr.
W. W. Lewis for the former, and Messrs.
Jas. B. Parks, W. A. Adams, W. H. Sto
vall and A. H. Smith for the latter.
They are all popular gentlemen, and the
race is destined to become a very heated
one.

Visit to tho Spot After th* Haadt Bad Left.
We yesterdey morning strolled around
to th* old cemetery, to see what steps
had been taken to obliterate the vandal
work that had already been done. The
gap is still left in the fence, while the
side-ditch of the street is filled with red
earth, with little black patches of grave
dust, to form a road for the lumber wag
ons to pass over. A few,wheelbarrows of
dirt have been thrown on the promiscuous
pile of bones in that sunken grave, cov
ering them from sight. The long red
trenches excavated for the foundation
are still open, with lines of graves in
them. Some of their shapes arc as per
fectly preserved as if just from the
hands of tho digger. Some are deeper
than others, while only the corner of a
few were touched, and they were exes,
vated out like a cave. Among the rc
rlay you can readily detect the little
patches of dark mould, formed of de
caying human bodies, tut we saw no
hones, save a fow little fragments. These
trenches should be retilled at once b;
the street force; and all evidence of this
unpleasant undertaking abolished. The
yawning sec* nd-ha ml graves, with ashes
of the dead carelessly thrown out, is not
a very pleasing sight in a Christian and
civilised city.
WINTERVILLE ITEMS.
1.11. A J. T. 1 ittard’s granite store has
been completed, and they commenced
yesterday moving in. It is » handsome
structure and will be a credit to the vil
lage.
The lumber for the Baptist church ia
being sawed and other preparations go

(Sunday's rain passed around us and
we are still dry.
Mowing grass and pulling fodder is
the order of the day.
A large crowd was at Beaverdam
church last Sunday. It was the annual
meeting and foot washing time.
The Methodists of Wintervillo will
soon tear down their old church and
bud I anew one with all the modern im
provements, which will be an ornament
to our town. Six hundred dollars, we
hsrn, hove been subscribed.
A meeting of considerable interest has
keen ) n progress during the past week

THE WORKING WORLD.
It is announced that tho Working
World has passed out of the hands of
Mr. G. K. Woodward, and is now inure
diately in the control and management
of the district assembly of the Knights o
Labor, and will hereafter be distinctively
tbe organ of that order.
Judge W. B. Thomas tells us that as
soon as a snitablelotcan be bought work
will commence on our new opera house.
The parties who own lots ask such ex
orbitant prices for their property that it
will prove a serious drawback. Some
lots are priced at $100 a front foot.
Yesterday D-. G. W. Rush, of the firm
of Rush A Arnold, went over to Wat-

iness in person. Oconee promises the
new enterprise a generous support. Wat-
kinaville ia now on a boom, and the new
railroad will bring oot the placu won
derfully. It is destined to be as impor
tant trading point as Harmony Grove.
MARRIAGE OP TROT. EDWARDS.

The attack by “Anti-Jobber” upon the
Mayor and city council, in yesterday’s
Banner-Watchman, created quite a sen
sation in Athens, and the article was
generally discussed in our stores and on
the street corners. A Banner-Watch
man reporter started on the rounds to
feel the pnblic pulse. He found a gen
eral condemnation of tlfe letter, and but
one man openly indorsed it, and he only
paid poll tax. The idea of the gentle
men connected with our city administra
tion being guilty cf jobbery or us
ing their offices for personal gain,
was ridiculous. Mayor Reaves
is one of our wealthiest citizens,
and it was only after an urgent request
from a large number of our businesa
men, that he consented to allow the use
of his name for Mayor. Alderman H
C. White, another member attacked, is a
professor in the University and also
State Chemist; Mr. M. B. McGinty is a
large property owner in the city and a
wealthy contractor; Mr. E. I. Smith is a
prominent merchant, and Mr. T L. Gantt,
editor of the Banner-Watchman,comprise
the Citizens’ ticket. Less than $2,000 is
nvolved in the entire sum at issue.
The idea of these gentlemen conspir-
ng together to misappropriate this mon
ey by acts of jobbery is farsical.
Our reporter interviewed several mem
bers of the city council, and they are
naturally and justly indignant at being
thus insulted, and at the proper time wc
presume will take suitable action. Since
our editorial in reply to “Anti-Jobber”
was written we have gained some addi
tional facts hearing on the subject:
In regard to the sale of the free school
bonds, the city made $5,500 by accept
ing Mr. J. U. Rucker’s bid. The next
otter was G per cent., and the bomis were
for thirty years. Mayor Reaves and
Chairman White, of the Finance com
mittee, did write to different parties to
get these securities placed, hut they had
no offer as good as that made by Mr.
R. He finally had to sell the bonds for
99 cents as purchasers considered 5
per cent, too low a rate of interest for a
place as small as Athens.
CapL W. W. Thomas says the city did
advertise for bids on plans and specifica
tions for the public school buildings, but
none were presented but his. We know
as a fact that Capt. Thomas saved the
city over $3,0U0 on these buildings, after
the first set of bids by contractors were
opened. He has richly earned his
money, if he had nothing else to do.
But he will have a general supervision
over the buildings for a year to come,
which is worth considerable to th* city.
There has not been a meeting of coun-
c’l lately bat what the city attorney was
called before that body, for in the rail-
read trades and other important business
pending this was a most necessary pre
caution.
Tbe city officials do aot deny but that
they made a mistake when they located
the school for whites in the old ceme
tery, hut they at once called another
meeting and rectified the same. $30
will pay for all the work done on this lot.

THE TECHNOLOGICAL SCHOOL.
The energy and enterprise of Athens'
was never more cloaily demonstrated
than in its determination than in its de
termination to issne $35,000 in bonds to
secure the Technological school. There
were but few scattering votes against it
in the election held last Saturday, and
the measure receiving more than the
necessary two-thirds votes vote of the
city, the settlement of the school in
Athens becomes practically a certainty.

THE CUTTING CASE.
Bayard Hu Ssat a Special lavsstlsator ta
Mexico to Report.
Washington, Aug. 14.—It can
now be authoritively stated that
General A. G. Sedge wick, of New
' ork, goes to Paso del Norte'and
Chihuahua by request of Secretary
Bayard in connection with the Cut
ring case. The mission is in no
sense of a diplomatic nature, but
simply to secure the department
fuller information in regard to the
case. The records of the Mexican
courts are not published like those
of this country, and the usual diplo
matic channels through which they
would naturally be sought are slow,
owing to the distance between the
scene of the trial and the capital.
General Sedgewick, in addition to
securing the records, will look up
all facts in the case and study it*
legal features, repotting fully and
early to the secretary.
No further steps' are contemplat
ed by the department until his re
tern. His journey may bo extend
ed to the City of Mexico.
