The Journ al stated last week that
the festival to be given on Friday eV
ening by the ladies of the Baptist
Church, would be a gntfid success.
Such was the result. A large crowd
was in attendance, am>ns the quill
driver stepped upder the gaslight of
the elegant Uplands’ dining hall, he
confronted a host of beautiful gir.s,
and was most cordially invited to a
seat, at an elegantly arranged table,
which was attended to by Misses Sal
lie Bacon, Stella Carr and Eugenia
Bohannon. There was a “three story V 1
mound ot the loveliest flowers of
spring in the center of the tabic, (dis¬
playing the exquisite taste of the ;
young fragrance ladies mentioned,) and as their j
lent loveliness to the occa¬
sion tlie reporter was giving—-no not
giving—was paying—no not paying—
(that is altogether out of order) was
devoting his time to the rich viands
before him. This table seemed to be
the centre of attraction, and “took in”
$16.30,—doubling, wc believe, any
other table in the hall.
Mrs. Bacon, Mrs. Stewart and other
ladies, were until ing in (heir efforts to
make the affair a success, while Dr.
Bacon lent his aid and dignify to the
occasion throughout.
Tne affair was a complete success,
footing up about $65.
To Mr. and Mrs. Ashbnrn, and
their lovely daughters, the thanks of
all are due.

'The reports from the farmers in all
sections arc really encouraging. Most
of them are ploughing out their corn,
and many of them arc planting cotton.
Indeed, it is a busy season with ail of
them, and from thc present outlook
the harvest will he plenteous.
The spring oats arc looking finely ;
in many fields they are from twelve to
eighteen inches high, and are prepar¬
ing to head.
Thc home of the South Georgia
farmer is at this season indeed a pleas¬
ant one—surrounded by all that makes
life happy; fields of emerald pastur¬
age, upon which the sleek cattie are
grazing; acres of fallow soil, upon
which the future crop is now grow¬
ing ; thc balmy spi ing breezes redolent
with the perfumes from many forest
flowers, all tend to make a home on
a farm in South Georgia a desirable
place.

*«»T, THE BIGAMIST.
loot ed not Widely but
' Throe Well,
Diu Thursday last a young lady,
•cffcganlly attired, stepped from the
^outh-bound train at this place, and
|’or the Hotel DoLiclch. A
pbrtffr’o’f the house stood in readiness, 1
and she was promptly conducted
thereto.
Being unattended, without bag¬
gage, band-box or bundle, but possess¬
ing a face and form of rare beauty, it
goes without saying tlicit the strange
young lady naturally attracted the
attention ot the vast multitude around
the depbf.
Upon entering the parlor of the
hotel above named, the unattended
ladv at once inquired for the clerk.—
Mr. Pendleton, the gcfitui gentleman
who fills this position, promptly re¬
sponded. The young lady, i n nervous
tones, Elated to the polite clerk that
*>he was here to meet a “friend,” and
asked him if any strange gentleman
had recently registered. Reference to i
the register revealed the fact that her
“friend” had not yet arrived. “She
would not tell her grief,” but her
anxious movements showed that one
so young and pure could sutler pangs !
that would rend a heart of sterner
years. Despite the loquacious man- j
nor of Mr. Pendleton, his beautiful
guest would not be comforted, but
continued her gaze from tlie front
window—a gaze that also betokened
trouble, and now deep-sealed sorrow
is depicted in every lineament of her
sweet, young face.
Time drew slowly by with ourclov
er clerk, but he, in the meanwhile,
was “Inking notes,” to quote common
newspaper parlance.
Mrs. Lietch, proprietress of the
hotel, appears upon the scene of
semi-embarrassment, but no tragic
views lire apparent
Dinner is announced, and through
the urgent persuasion of Mr. Pen¬
dleton the sad voting lady enters the
dining hall; she had scarcely lasted
food, when her “friend” steps in; she
arises, meets and greets him with a
salutation that nobler men, but with
iio purer woman, have died to win.
Thc strange couple at once repair
to the parlor, and are soon joined by
Messrs, Morgan, Fendlcton, and other
inmates of the house.
A smile of beauty and the hue of
the western peach again mantle her
checks, and she converses In even sen
tSlices. The “friend” sits hard by.
wearing, at intervals, a smile that
beggared that of a deeply-dyed vil- |
lain.
To cut Ihc play short, the curtain
now rises—suspicion is aroused—an
attorney’s advice is sought—thc wires
are touched, and the answer from !
Gol. force, Wyllev, of the Macon police j
was to thc effect—“hold your {
man—he is ( has. Frost, the bigamist,”
The mystery is solved. Air. Frost
asked to step down to thc parlor.—
He responds to the call, and Messrs,
Pendleton and Morgan quietly arrests j
the would-be Morman. and at once I
introduces him to .Sheriff’ Itawlins.—
I'pon thc authority of Air. Wylly,
“Capt. Tom” soon put Mr. Frost
M where few mourners go to weep.”
Thc beautiful young wife left for
Macon on Friday’s early train, and
will live to learn thrtt “ frost” is ever
blighting to the bloom and beauty of j
tender virginity.
Charles Frost, as will be sccn
herein, is a noted bigamist, having
now the third wife. In February last
he met and married in Macon, a young
lady upon whose brow scarcely eigh¬
teen summers had shown, and her
visit here was simply an act of fidelity
—an act characteristic of all good
wives. Lieutenant Woods, of the
Macon police force, came down for
the bigamist, and bo is now peeping
through the bars of the Bibb county
jail. Mr. Frost is from the Canadian
province of Nova Scotia; is near, if
frot quite, to thc meridian ot life;
not prepossessing in attire, and his
countenance gives him away on sight.
We would not pass sentence upon
this black-hearted scoundrel, but
tvould suggest that if some one would
give him more lead and less liquor
it would be a blessing to the Country,
The letters below’ cxwlgiu thcm
selves:
Macon, Ga., February 26.—This ev¬
ening your correspondent called at
No. 59 Fourth street, where Mrs.
Frost is stopping and obtained (topics
of the letters received from Selma,
Ala., and Yandolia, Alo., reference to
which was made in recent dispatches.
The first reads as follows:

besides yoursclt. He came lo Selma,
I think, about three years a«'o—I “time am

As wo procure our supply direct from flic West in carload lots, we are prepared at
all times to furnish saw-mill and turpentine linns with first-class mules at the lowest

living. I am certain that he is the
same scoundrel. I inclose you ft
photograph of him, but request that
you will please return it to me. I
sent the same picture alt the way to
Missouri lo his first wife, and she
said he was the right man, and of¬
fered me a reward of $250 to capture
him and let her know, so that she
could have liim put in the peniten¬
tiary or hung. It ho is ever caught
and brought back here I think that
tic would be lynched.
The girl that lie married here was a
beautiful girl, about eighteen or
teen years old. Her address is Char
itv hospital, ward 52, New Orleans,
La. I had a letter from her a few
days ago requesting me lo write you
all about the villain. Sbe had also
sccn a " account of thc marriage of
Frost in the paper. Miss White was
an intimate friend of niv wife and a
member of the church. I am satisfied
that it is all a mistake about him be
ing drowned, for l don’t think that it
was ever intended that lie should die
such an easy death.
If you desire lo answer this letter,
my address is C. QuaiTermas, Lock
Box 215, Selma, Ala.
I will thank you to return me thc
photograph.
Respectfully,

Vaxdai.i Alo., Alarcb 3d, 188G.—
Mr. C. Quartermas—Dear Sir: Hav
Big bcccii shown a loiter which you
wrote the postmoster at this place, in
lT ”ard to one Frost, whom you state j |
left his wife in your town, I feel it my
duty to write you this letter, stating I
facts that may be of benefit to you in
capturing him.
Frost came to Ashley, Pike coun¬
ty, about 1873, and worked at painting.
On December 1, 1875, lie was mar¬
ried to AJiss. Alary E. Barnett, lived
with and supported her first in'one
towu and then in another, in a radius
ot "hen forty living miles until in Jonesboro, about July Alo., 1.1S82, he j
lclt not telling Ins Mile anything,
about it. On December following he
returned to her, repeating and prom¬
ising to do better, stayed until
Afay 29, 1883, when he left without
any provocation, whatever, taking
$200 from the man lie was living in
the house with at thc time. Not
missing thc money for several days,
gave Frost a good chance to escape.
The man who lost thc money was my
son and a nephew of his wife. At
that time he lived four miles front
Vandalia and pretended to be going
there that morning to work. Frost
claimed to be a native of Nova Scotia,
and served in the federal army dur¬
ing the war—mostly in the navy—
where he said lie lost his hearing. He
also’ claimed to be an Odd Fellow,
joined the Presbyterian church while
at Ashley, drank lots of w hiskey at
times, ami belonged to Sons of Tem¬
perance.at other times. He provided
for his family pretty w ell while with
them and they lived agreeable togeth- !

\Ye arc under obligations to Mr. A.
G. Williamson for a copy of the Co¬
lumbus, Times, published at Chmi
boiirn, X. and from it we clip that;
following communication. Both of
the gentlemen mentioned in the arti¬
cle below are well known hero, while
the bride of Mr. Coleman has rela¬
tives in our town. We learn that
“Quince” has grown rich, and having
doubled his fortune, he is surely a hap¬
py follow.
Mr. Godwin is also an excellent
gentleman—true man of the “Old
North State,” his bride being one of
tin* lovidicst ladies of Tattnall county.
Tbc communication speaks for itself:

Messrs. Morris and Henry Water¬
man, jr., after spending a day or two
in our town among friends, left yes¬
terday for ’Tellair. They have with
them a drove of choice mules and hor
ses, and will stop over in McRae
where, during the days of superior
court now in session, they hope to
meet their mill, turpentine and far
mcr friends from the country stir-,
rounding and supply their wants.

and being known and respected
throughout our entire section for their'
strictly honest dealings, justly control

rowly escaped death on Monday last;
They were on a professional trip, to
thc Baldwin & Co. settlement, and
while driving leisurely along a coun
try thoroughfare, a tall, enormous
tree came crashing, earth-bound;
(now, somebody lyili say that trees’
never fly upward, but such is the
fact) and barely brushed the vehicle
of the gentlemen nfimeri. The spir
Tted “black” of Dr. II. charged for¬
ward at the signal of danger, and Ids
leap for life doubtless saved those of
