Fresh meat at the market Friday and Saturday nerxt. The track layers are several mile* be yond Jackson. ! Miss Katie Lyons ha* returned from a visit to Griffin, much to the pleasure of her numerous friends. A. B. Doyal, has been sentenced to hang on the 29th day of June, for the nwsrder of Hancock, at Griffin. Fresh beef few days a't ’the. market. Nfiss Ida ElTfis, one of Griffins’ most charming and accomplished young Ift lndics, is spending several days in our city, visiting her friend Miss Lyons. Col. M. V. McKibben, and Mr Bar ifield have returned from a business trip to the central city. The Benton House table is ladened ■with wk'e fresh vegitables, each day, foriTitiner. Mrs. B. has our thanks •for a nil* treat. Mr. W. R. Thalton, has our thanks i for a nice treat in tne way of raw Irish potatoes amd beets. They were fine. Mr. Tisdell says he has the finest garden in “Georgia.” Those lettuce were nice. Wanted—at the beef market, two or three fat beeves, on foot. The ensli will be paid at the market price. Small pox is still raging in Atlanta. Private communications tell us that new cases are daily, developing, and siothing like the truth, in regard to it, is told in the city papers. It is reported that certain physicians are either advising ot practicing inoe culation with small pox virus in pref erence to submitting to vaccination, whereupon the Post Appeal publishes a section from the code as a warning. Col. McKibben is attending United States court at Macon. No one enjoys a more extensive and lucrative prac tice in all the courts than the Colonel. Judge James Hnrkness has some friends who express a desire that he represent Butts county in the next leg islature. The Judge is one of our oldest citizens, and doubtless understands the needs and wants of our people. The Benton House still keeps up to a good standard, and is being renovated and furnished with some nice furni ture and fixtures. Everythingis kept as neat as a pin, all of which is due to the industry of Mrs. Benton and her charming daughters. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Cloud’s kill of a hundred thousand brick have proven to be a failure. The failure is said to he due to defects in the clay of which they are made. He is on the lookout for better and more suitable, dirt, and will soon have another hundred thousand ready for the torch. We wish him better suc cess nex time. A Grand Pic-Xle. We take this occasion to return our thanks to Dr. E. O. Huson, and Josi *h Bosworth and others of the commit tee, for an invitation to attend a hip; pic-nic at Snapping Shoals, Newton county, on next Saturday, the 13th in stant, which will be our pleasure to at tend if we can arrange to do so. JFe are requested, by the committee, to especially invite all, through the News to join in the festivities of the day, and we hope Butts will send a good delegation in response to the invi tation. Rockdale Henry, and Newton counties will be largely represented. There will be speaking by Col. Bry an of McDonough, Col. Livingston, of Newton. Col. Y. A. Wright, of Jack son, is also invited to deliver an oration on that day, who informs us that be expects to try and arrange to be there. We would also like to hear C-01. E. I Catching on that occasion, and cordi ally invite him to participate. Speaking dancin fishing eating and smoking will he the order of the day. A larje crowd will be present. Mr. Editor : lam not accustomed j to'writing for public gaxetts, and from '’inexperience in this, can not hope to •eritertain the readers to youripaper . 'yet, I feel constrained to ask space of you to make mention 'of the Sabbath School celebration heltimt the BapiMt church on last Saturday. IPrefUcing this with the remark that Jackson nev er does things by halves, and by saying “Jackson," I mean and include its sur rounding community, for we are link ed together’by those social ties which 4how that (Jackson strickly, and the tgood people around are one and the same. According to announcement, the bell tolled at ten o’clock a. mi. and ere this, a large crowd'ofsparetits, chil dren giddy and gay, had assenibled at the church and grove arobnli. Singing hy the choir, of some very select music, led by that talented and accomplished lady, Mrs. ‘L. 'D. Wat son, assembled the crowd in the church, which had been beautifully decorated by the -good ladies of 'the Sabbath School. Prayer Was offered by Judge James F. 'Carmichael, "suitable to the occasion, imploring (Him who pre sides over the destinies of nations to smile upon the festivities of the day which was most assuredly answered ns 'the-squill told. The oretor of'the'day, Col. E. P. Catching*, was then conducted down the aisle to the speaker’s stand and introduced to the waiting audi ence. He, while we are proud to claim a citizen, is comparitively a stranger, having just come into oar midst. Many eyes turned anxiously to him, and many soon saw from the coo!'defiber- R’te ’manner of address' that (he was at himself, and truly he was. Fie dwelt upon theorigen of Mayday celebration, tiie < hanges in its observance, the uni versality of the same among a'fl na tions,the present time <tc., eu&ng with peroation teeming with beaufifSa lan guage, unequeled in sentiment, and 'made impressive by the oritortcivl pow ers of the speaker. His audience sat ill breathless silence and were loth to let him leave the statifi. After some appropriate remarks by the efficient Superintendent, he Who has so long thrown into our Sunday Sdliool his whole sottl, and to 'tv'h’O'm its .present progress ft'ftd standing is so largely due, Col. M. V. McKibben, the audience repaired to the grove where many tables were ladcned with sub stantial* and delicacies, (the prepara tion of which is unkown to the culina ry art of “ bachelors ”) and all eat and drank to hearts content. Then the children surrounded their Supcr intenent, and Jack-a-Mcßingold, Mol ly Bright, “ Chick-anift-CranyOrow,”. and many other plaj% to their 'com plete enjoyiwet, irot'e indulged in, af ter which a line of mnnefe was com menced for the new railroad, t’he’build ing of which was new to both old and young. So emted a •day tong to be re membered. Silence. Towaliga. It is is said that Mr. Vine McElha ney lias a field of the finest wheat in Towaliga district. It Is thought that Judge Hammond ‘ would make us a good representative. Age is not without its claim*. It is said that Rev. Mr. Quigg, of Conyers, will preach at Fellowship church, the fifth Sunday in July. We will be wishing for a “ lift i ” in each month. Mrs. P. A. Ilamil, who has been on the Sand Mountain, since October, has returned home. She reports hard times and thinks the people here are well to do. One of our Sabbath School classes, which was composed of married and unmarried persons, being too large a division was proposed. We were nti first puzzled as to how to divide ; but one of the members being more thoughtful than others, suggested that the married persons compose one class, and the unmarried, another. Instead of numbering these classes, I think they ought to be known as the mar ried and the unmarried class; but the unmarried would be continually trying to get into the married class. Prof. Woodward and Miss McElhe ney, have suspended their schools, and we learn that Miss Bennett will soon suspend hers. Our schools are run to suit the re quirements of the farm. Vacation is given at times when labor is in great demand JFe suppose this is done to enable the pupils to defray their own expenses. Under this system, I don.t see why any boy-, who is not large enough to make a regular plow hand, should not be allowed to go to school six months in the year. One drawback, is, the poor, uncomfortable school houses, which are, ns a rule, unfit to hold school in during the winter. There are two seasons during the year, in which country schools must give way to “King Cotton,” and if the far mer boy misses the winter months, his schooling is cut short. So let us have good school houses, and the boys, in winter, instead of wanting to go to town or hunting, will be going to school. Buy Carmichaels Horse Powders. Buy your Drugs nt Carmichaels.

'Last Friday and Saturdhy will ’long 'be remembered by the peoplcofthis section, as a time of rejoicing brought about by the completion of the new road to this point, and the sight of the first train at Jackson. Since the cars crossed Towaliga river, several days ago, large crowd of people, earth day, come from a distance to witness, to them, the novelty of’track laying as 'it progresses ath-he 'rate of one mile to a mile and a quarter'per day, Last Sa turday the track Was 'finished, leaving Jackson one mile in the ‘rear; and from early dawn ’till late in thedlay, people, both black and white, young and old, male and female, rich and podr, Were coming and going to see the cars, would require too much space to en ter into elaborate details of the occa sion, and express the appreciation and inthusiasm manifested by our people, at the thoughts of having commu nication with the outside world, by means of electricity and a “great trunk railway”extending from themountains of the North-West to the Seaboard. The ~track laying machine” is very simple ; it is simply a contrivance for rappidly unloading the iron and ties. A number of flat cars are used with an enjine attached to the rear ; the first three cars in front, where the track is being laid, are loaded with spikes and iron ; the other cars with cross ‘tiles which are unloaded onto a number‘of pullies or rolers in frames, projecting from the cars and extending from the rear of the train, with a downward el evation to the front of the train, where the ties, as fast as they roll down to the end, are taken oft'by a number of hands and placed in position on the roadbed. The iron is conveyed in like manne'r'Oii'the uposite side of the train. This is done as fast as two or'three hands to the car can keep a continuous train of ties moving on these rolers. The iron is spiked down as fast as the ties are laid, and the’train is shoved up a car-length every dor 4 minutes with out Tnterfereing With the progress of the work. Fhe work is done entirely with Convicts, and they are so thor oughly drilled, that everything moves along like clock work. A sidetrack has been put in and the camps moved to this place. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. King, Superintendent of track construction, but he is spoken of hy our citizens, as being a cleaver, social and accommo dating gentleman. We learn that he said there would be Tro Tegular trains, wf any kind, put on the road from Ma con to Indian Springs, or to any other point TVn’til the road is fin inshed. Mr. King was anxious for a photograph of the construction train and convicts; as it was the first. und only railroad laid entirely with convicts and a ‘‘ma chine,” he said a good photograph would be appreciated and purchased by those engaged in building the road. Mr. Ileuderson, our artist-, repaired to where the work Was progressing, on Saturday, with his instrument, With the assurance that work Would he sus pended a few Seconds, to allow him to make a view of the entire train and convicts. But to his surprise the in human “nincompoop” in charge of the convicts, who, it is said, by no means has won an enviable reputation, among the people of Butts, ashi gentleman of urbane manners, refused to allow the poor shackled,, hardworking prisoners to stop 5 or 10 seconds to have the pic ture taken ; his ungentlemnnly and in sulting language to some of ourTjti zens of the county, because they come to see the railroad, judging from what we have heard, did not take very well, and he had better “go slow” during his sojourn on Butts county soil. How ever, regardless of this “ King of the convict camp,” otir artist succeeded in making “on the wing” two very good views of the train and the convicts. The sub-“boss<ee” looked vicious like a sheep, hut to no avail, and if it had oc curred to him, lie doubtless would have fairly danced a jig to have spoiled his picture in the scene. The long trestle was finished across Yellow JFnter crock hist Sunday, and track laying wits resumbed bright and early on Monday morning. There is nothing to prevent them from moving right along to McDonough, which place they will reach, if the weather contin ues favorable, in a few days. In the afternoon, Saturday last, the darkies gathered on the square and celebrated the occasion with comic songs, banjo solos and a regular plan tation walk around and clog dancing. They seemed much enthused and ela ted with the idea that “ negroes and mule built the railroad.” U r e learn that track laying has been commenced al Atlanta, on tbe Exten sion, coming this way.

Ripples Around tiie Springs. IBY F. 8. H. Our town : is'on -arregiular ;painting boom. A large crowd is expeCte'd-soon at all ’the hotels. Everv'hOtehin the place has ordered new furniture. Our town needs a'hteet market worse than ui>y town of Its size* hr the State. Indian Springs can soon 'boast of four new, luTge and beautiful'bridges, which itre’very much needed. Mrs. Judge Stocks, ’of Greensboro, Gn., is at the Varner House. Miss Laura Doughtry, of our’town has returned home from a three months visit among friends and rela tives at Blackshear and Albany, Ga. The Elder House begins to shine now—the paint brush having been ap plied. The county surveyor, better known as “Singing Jifn Maddox,” was in town on Thursday liiSt, 'With his instrument and chain. He is to survey the town. ’The MTntish house -is undergoing thorough repair. "Dr. HamVion and lady, of Athens, Ga., and Mr. Haley and family, of Eu faula, Ala., kre numbered among the guest of the Elda House. Mrs. J. Ml. Johnson, of Macon, anti her sister, Miss Dora Huguenin, one of “Central City's” blonde types of beau ty nnd guests of the Mclntosh, left for home oh FiSflay last, over the new ’road. The garden's 'Kfid ’(Tops around the ■Spring are looking fine and are in a flourishing condition. “Dido” did right in saying what he or she said about Joe Brown, the car riage &o. I told our people something would be said nhohtbti’r having to send to your trtWn for a vehicle. •Itts(lndian tipriug's time to send 'ft Wan'to the legislature, ami while many names'have been suggested, ami good ones to, we propose the name of Judge John W. Gibson of’hofr'toNvn. A bet ter one can’t be found in the land of Butts. If Joe Brown ever comes to the Springs I intend to get Miles Turner’s ox cart and a young bull yearling and send to the depot for him. ‘ Dido” shall not have another chance to boast of our sending to Jackson for a fine timieut. You beftlj Our grass and clover Is fresh and green, But no cow drover On the str.et Is seen. Stock law the cause. Col. M. V. McKibben, of yourtown, passed through the Springs on Thurs day last, looking as if he was very hungry for a good mess of fish. We 'think he was on the hunt for Geo. Nutt Ami Cook McCord. Doyal’s Statement. We coppy from the Griffin News, the statement of Doyal, the murderer of Hftndcock, whose trial was had in the Superior Court of Spalding county, last week : On the Saturday night preceding the difficulty, I and Tom Davis and oth ers were drinking and going around to billiard rooms Ac., and Davis and I finally went to his house and went to bed. About 8 o’clock Sunday mor ning we got up and went down togeth er lo get a drink. We got one and that was all, and walked up Hill street, and while Davis went down an alley, I walked to the stair case leading up over Ilesselkus & Pattriek’s and lean ing up in the entrance waiting forhim. He did not come quick enough, and I started behind McKee’s harness shop after him. Mark Hancock, Chas. Ison and someone else were standing in front of Lower’s shop talking. Just as I went to turn the corner, Hancock walked up in an abrupt way and said, “You get off these streets, or I will put you in the guard house.” and he jerk ed me along. I never resisted, but he called Charlie Ison, and we past on down the alley between Morris and Clark’s storo. I asked why they had picked me up. Hancock raised his club and said. “You d—n scoundrel, you have been tantalizing me for some time.” I said, “You will not hit me." This was at 9 o’clock in the morning, he locked me in the guard house—and never give me water. A gentleman, Ben. Lutrall, stepped into the engine house next door, and I asked him for some water and he passed it to me. I asked him to see Charlie Doe and Mr. White, to have them get me out, which was done. I Went up street and never said anything to Hancock. I was mad, though I never told anybody that I would kill Hancock. I went on up town and joined a crowd, and stayed and got a drink or two, lnit never said anything to anybody about the matter. Next morning a gentleman told me to watch outfur Hancock. I asked him the reason, and he said he was a bad man ; but! never said anything about it to anybody. I was about town dur -1 ing tbe week and met Hancock sever al times. Invoke to him politely and he gave ms a severe rebuke, which confirmed ray idea that he would kill me. I neva- said anything to any body about it. Friday night I left on business dotfn in Pike county. I came back the next day and Hancock was off duty. 1 knocked about on Hill street in tbe afternoon and never saw him until 4 o’clock. A gentleman sent me with a note for a pistol; I could not get R and told him that I would borrow one. I went down to Dock Json’i and across to the Globe RaldOO. I tnsrm the weapou was thorn because I lhft ; it there. I walked out and stepped down Ott the 1 platform in front, walking towards Goddard’s, go ‘ irfg diagonally across, with "my head down. The first 1 saw of Hancock hre accosted mo with, “You 'have been talking'about me, G—d d —n you, long enough'” ; T stepped back slotidy and 'toldhim 1 to'Stop. He put his hand tip •here (indicaiing'his rear hip-pocket). 'I kmwv'Hancock Wfts a violent man, having heard' ofit'in sevOral'ilmtances. [Witness'here gave an timber of instan ces.) I have also seen liim'Use his club. Hancock and me were never lit outs particularly. I prilicell (hr him and others. When I kr|it balking he kept coining and told me he was off dlit.v now and it would have to'be set tled lip. I says, "Mark, I Will hurt you." fie fihdlly said. "D—n yOh, you have drawn- it on me, and ydu will have jo use it.” His hand WSW up to ward his hip pocket, which Was the first thing that caused me to draw the, repeater. As I ffred Hancock turned to the right, and he threw his hands here (to his stomach). As I did it, I cocked repeater and kept moving back. As 1 saw he was not coming to me, I pulled the repeaterblow and shot it off. The crowd followed lire and I surren dered, after running'do'Wn the alley. Nobody was Ipresent when I wire'put in the guard house except Ison and H'ttilCodk. Hancock evidently intended Vio lence. I kept stepping back. I knew lie kept a 'pistol 'in his pocket. The State ‘introduced the following evidence in Tdbu'tltivl 'Of 'the prisoner’s statement : 'Col. Johnson, diroet —'Remember the occasion ; saw Doyal Yin Saturday evening pretty late on the street; about ten steps from the well. Doyal Ipassed me ; he was going fforft Clark’s corner to‘Ohal'lie Whitson's; ns he passed me says he, “I’ll get him did not appear lobe mud ; I walked in about five steps, 'heard a pistol and turned ; It was not more than two or three min utes between ; when I heard pistol I whirled around and saw a man turned from Doyal ; Doyal was holding a pis tol in his hand, fired second shot at ‘re treating man. This closed the Whole testimony in the case. The court adjourned nanttil 8 o,clock this Morning. Correspondent of the Mnoon Tele graph Messenger says ; Major Sam-. pie accofuparded us on the down tiip and Irom him we learned that the construction company will, unless prevented by a long 'chapter of acci dents, floods, etc, tut n over the rood to the owners about the latter part ot June. The progress has been s'ow. up to t'nis time, owing to the tael that we have just passed through a season ol heavy rains,whioh destroy in a sin gle night the Work of Weeks. Their labor force Iras not hern thoroughly organized until now. In the com mencement of the work they relied upon the average hand picked up anywhere, These men worked until they drew their wages, and then they wore off Thus for a long time they were dealing with new hands, and often only half a force. They now have a full force of con vic's whoeaunol conveniently leave whenever they want to, and who Lave now bee me good workmen, and the construction company are now able to lay, with the track lay ing about 6,000 feet of track a day. The gang of aervk.se men fol - low up the track layers and pack and seit'e the dirt. They also watch lor every caved-iu or washout, and are constantly employed at thia kind of duly. The toad will be completed to At lanta by the first ot June. It will then require the months of Jun* and July to arrange side-tracks, build de pots and prepare schedules. By Au gust regular trains will be running, and the river rout opened. Shipinei-tH of crossti>s h-rve already been made to A'lanta, and the yard tracks are now being laid. As to running a train to Indian Springs bef->-e the regular chediilt s ia pul on, Major Sample was imt cer tain that it could be done. Of one tiling e may be sure, if.it can be done the train will be put on each Sunday morning, and as it returns in the afternoon one can stay n week, gdng one Sunday and coming back, the next, New engines and cars are being purchased for the new road. The company now owns nearly 300 new Oil flat oars, a large number of freight boxes and several engines By Au gust the road will be fully equipped and reaily for frei hi and passengers. The track, as far as settled, is in fine condition. We rowled over it t the iHte of thirty miles an hour, and experienced not the slighte t jolt, Tbe trestles and * ridges have been built with extraordinary care, tbe bridge over Towaliga river being ns fine a truss tructure as one would care to gee. Along the inae,-lire {da ces near the river hank, cribbing in l ing done, which holds the imhak ment, and this will be strengthened by a liver wall. Along the line of the road are seen lai ge heaps of slone querried out of tti‘cuts. This stone will be crushed and used for ballas ing tbe track. From one end of the line to the olher gangs of workmen are aeen fill ing in, cribbing, repairing breaks etc. At the front the convict*, a* so many bees, and if there are no heavy set-backs, will makegood the prom ise to have the line through to At lanta by June.
