R. E. LaMance, Brunswick, Ga. Welch's Statement. Conductor Welch says that the par ty he shot at Willacoochee last week with his associates was stealing a ride on the rear ot his train. He discovered them and compelled them to pay their fare. When the train reached Williacoochee they got off and began to curse him. He leaned over the railing to see who it was cursing when he discovered what he supposed to be a pistol point ed at his head. He drew his revolver and fired at the one he thought was about to shoot him and young Moore caught the bullet in his leg. LOST.

Editor Breeze: Prof. McGown of Van Wort, 0., a young man of brilliant intellect, and a teacher of great experience and un surpassed success, and whose manly and moral example is such as to make him a pattern for all with whom he may associate, is coming south to cast his lot with the southern educators. He will open school at this place the first Monday in March. We hope that the peop’e of this place will avail them selves of this opportunity of' sending their children to such a teacher. Subscriber. In the debate on the money questiou last week in the house, Mr. Turner was chosen from the entire congress to close the argument for sound ntonoy. Mr. Crisp had just preceded him in favor of froe silver. The arguments of the latter were completely annihilated, and as the free silverites arose to in timid ite Turner in his speech,he swept them off their feet one by one and sent them to their seats with the house and galleries laughing at them. Those who think that that he is in his dotage should take warning lest they fall under his massive strength.
