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.

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.

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.

IjOi * *«»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.

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.
