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.

A HERMIT. Pliant Inland Whits Plains Railroad- - Amy of Candidates for tho Sonata and Lealslatum. 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.

How It Was Received tip the Citizens of Athens—But On* Han Endorsee It. 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.

The lumber for the Baptist church ia being sawed and other preparations go ing on for this structure. It will be 3GxG6, having a vestibule, recess, and spite fit* feet high. (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 st the Methodist church here. 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- kinsville for the purpose of establishing a drug store in that village. The Lind say Durham building has been rented and Dr. Arnold will superintend the bus 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. Invitations are out for the marriage of Professor T. R. Edwards, of Atlanta, and Miss Minnie J. Williams, of Thomas- ville, at the latter place, Wednesday morning, August 25th, at half past eight o'clock. Miss Williams is the daughter of Mr. S. M. Williams, and is loved by all who know her for her beautiful traits of character. Professor Edwards is’an es timable young gentleman, and has many friends throughout the state.’ He occu pies a responsible position in the Means Academy of Atlanta, and is a graduate of the State University, class of ’83.— Constitution.

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 CITIZENS MEET. The citizens held a secret meeting yesterday at 12 o’clock, at the Li brary. They are making strenuous President Cleveland's Appointment. President Cleveland has appoint ed Capt. William T. Newman, o Atlanta, judge of the United States court tor the northern district of Georgia, vice Judge A. K McCay deceased. The appointment of CapL Newman is a source of pleas ure to his many friends in the Gate City and elsewhere in the state. He was a gallant Confederate soldier, and his empty sleeve bears testimo ny to his valiant service. He is classed among the younger mem bers of the Atlanta bar, but in the last few years has made commenda ble strides in his profession, and to Judge Hopkins, with whom he read law, is ascribed the assertion that he is the best corporation lawyer in Atlanta. He is . a ahrewd, clear- neaded man, of fine common sense, and with along the roaa are good and bad.

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.
