—Gentlemen of the grand jury, it is
your sworn duty to present every case

—The Intervening tall trees and
undergrowth between Eastman and
West End will soon be cleared away,

Mr. W. N. Lietch is, we learn, the chief

dence of the bride’s parents, on Sun¬
day last, 1st inst., Mr. J. W. Lee and
Miss Mary Lou Dean. Rev. T. M.
Christian officiating. All of Dedge
county.
Mr. Lee is one of our rising young
inen, enjoying the friendship of all,
while his bonny bride is a young lady
of rare personal beauty, and endowed
with many noble traits of both head
and heart. To the young couple the
Journal extends its hearty congratu¬
lations, trusting that as they tread the
pathway of life, through its varied
meandering*, they may be blessed with
that happiness and prosperity which
they so justly merit.
The attendants on this happy occa¬
sion were: W. W. Thomas with Miss
Lizzie Dean; J. W. Harrell with Miss
Etta Dean; B. L. Harrell with Miss
Alt ha O’Kelley.
The ceremony over, tho bridal party
repaired to the city, and enjoyed an
elegant and bountiful supper at the
residence of the groom's brother, Mr.
YY. L. Lee, on Railroad avenue, where
the happy pair are boarding for the
present.
Almost a C'onllastation.
We ’earn through Mr. YY. W. Thom¬
as, of Lumber City, who was here on
Sunday last, that our merchant friend,
John II. Barrett, of that place, came
near being burned out on Friday night
last. The flames of a suspended elec¬
tric lain]) ran too high, setting the
ceiling on fire, and but for the timely
discovery a general conflagration
might have ensued. The flames were
immediately extinguished, and order
again prevailed.
Mr. Barrett carries the largest and
best selected stock of goods (compris¬
ing almost everything to eat and wear)
of any house in that entire section. Y\ T e
know whereof wc speak, and parties
trading at his store will find in him a
clever, genial gentleman-—one disposed
to “live and let live. Y\ r e are truly
glad that his store and stock were not
destroyed, and trust that the establish¬
ment may long flourish.

her limits man can raise almost every
article necessary to his sustenance
and comfort. Here wc find the salu¬
brious climate of the semi-tropics;
the bracing balsamic breezes that char¬
acterize pine plains—presenting ever
a picture bevond discription That
man who cannot find a home here, is
hard indeed to please. Our lands arc
naturally fertile; the water pure as
that of pearl)’ fountains ; the bloom of
health on the checks of all, and taking
all these into consideration, it is a lit¬
tle strange to say the least, that our
capitalists—the monied men of East¬
man and vicinity do not catch the in¬
centive —take time by the forelock
and put out their hoarded wealth
more liberally towards building up our
town. As a single item in tills direc¬
tion, two new railroads propose to
touch us in the near future if our
people will only co-operate with the
projectors in a substantial way. Now
is the accepted time, and let us act.

* The Uerlral
As stated in our last issue, a reviv¬
al, was In progress, conducted by the
pastor, assisted by Prof. M. J. Max¬
well, “the sweet singer of the west.”
Mr. Christian, the pastor in charge
of the church, has proved himself
equal to thecmergcucy, and the good
work is still unabated. IIis sermons
at eacli service have been full of pure
gospel truth, earnestly and feelingly
delivered to the large congregations
present.
Never in the history of Eastman
has the people been so fully aroused to
the importance of the hour, or the
(Julies which devolve upon them in
the work for the Master. During
these meetings it is gratifying to note
the zeal and earnestness with which
the good ladies of the town and
vicinity have entered into the work,
and the unity which has characteri¬
zed their action even from the start.
All praise to our noble pastor, and
may a rich reward await him.
Mr. Maxwell has added greatly' to
this revival. The songs which he so
pathetically' rendered, at each service,
had their effect upon the audience;
they were listened to with a deep de¬
gree of interest, and have been as a
balm to the awakened soul. Ilis good
work hero i9 appreciated by all.
The glorious revival still goes on,
as we have before stated, and up to
the time of going to press (Tuesday)
noon) 15 have been added to the church
and the work seems just begun.
Among these are some of our old
solid business men, who, before, have
never took ttme to seek Christ. Oh,
what a glorious work ! The prospect
is bright for a rich harvest of souls*
and God grant the good men in
charge of the meeting may bo enabled
to continue the work until this eiul is
reached.
Tire! Tire! !
These ever alarming accents fell in
doleful tones upon tho cars of our cit¬
izens about noon on Friday last, caus¬
ing a surcease in business and a gen¬
eral ru di to the scene of conflagra
l ion,
The alarm came from (he direction
of County Road, and it was soon dis¬
covered that the old store-house ot Mr.
L. M. Peacock (now’ of Railroad uvc.)
w’as on fire, and as a high wind was
prevailing at the time, a clean sweep
of that portion of the town was immi¬
nent—the houses all being wood and
forming an almost solid block.
The situation w’as at once taken in,
and as we are without an engine, the
bucket brigade, headed by marshal
Skelton, responded promptly, and af¬
ter a few minutes of water throwing
that would have done credit to a fire
engine, the flames were extinguished.
The building was damaged but very
little by the fire,but it was almost to*
tally unroofed by the firemen (?) dur¬
ing the moments of excitement.
Robl. Beasley, col., occupied the
house as a sleeping apartment, hut all
of his effects were promptly removed
to a place of safety at the first alarm.
The fire was first discovered upon tlie
roof, and is supposed to have origi¬
nated from a spark from some adja¬
cent flue or chimney. Loss light.
Our town is surely blessed in the
absence of burnings of much conse¬
quence, hut at the least alarm of the
fiery fiend, the colored men turn out
in force, ready to lend a helping hand,
and llieir action on Friday last was no
exception to the rule. They always
work nobly, and this can be placed to
ihcir credit.
In this connection wc would state
that some of our white young men put
in some fine work. Sol Ilcrrman, Lon
Skelton, Christian Eauton, arc hard
to keep off of a house on lire. The
latter is simply immense, and the man¬
ner in which he can make shingles fly,
is a sight.
There was another alarm of fire on
the night of the dav above mentioned,
but the flames were immediately ex¬
tinguished. and no damage was done.
Arrested aud 41 ailed.
Aaron McLeod, col., who our read¬
ers will remember as being charged
with an attempted assault upou the
wife of Mr. YVillis Mullis, of our coun¬
ty, about eighteen months ago, was
arrested in Macon by policeman C. M.
YYoods Tuesday night last, and a tele¬
gram was sent to our town to that
effect. Upon receint of the informa¬
tion, Mr. II. A. Peacock went up to
Macon and brought and lodged Mc¬
Leod in our jail, where he now rests,
awaiting a hearing from the courts.
It may he mete and proper to await
a verdict of a jury properly chosen to
investigate before advancing an opin¬
ion, but no serious harm can come out
ot the assertion that many, in a posi¬
tion to know, outspokenly pronounce
him guilty of the charge.

Amoskcag Appendix,
The general manager is off on a
business trip to Macon.
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Moore are on a

pairs on the dry kiln.
We are glad to be able to state that
little Eddie Bacon is much better—the
fever from which he is suffering being
of a mild type. Wc hope soon to see
our little favorite around again.
Friday last was quite an exciting
day. During the high winds that pre¬
vailed, a slianty caught fire and burn¬
ed down. It was a building occupied
by a number of men, and dubbed “The
I piands,” by r the colored fraternity'.
They lost everything they possessed,
amounting to something over $400.—
One poor fellow lost a fine new hat,
which had been given to liim as a
Christmas present by thogeneral man
ager. Said lie, earnestly,: “I don’t
care nuffiu for de clothes, but dat hat!
Why', boss, I 'spected to keep dat hat
as long as I Jibbed—’cause de ole man
gib ’em to me.
The big mill caught fire in several
places, but prompt action and watch¬
fulness prevented any disaster from
the flames.
The cylinder-head of the steam feed
at the big mill burst Monday morn¬
ing which necessitates shutting down
until it can be lcpaired. In the mean¬
while the boys can go fishing, or
courting, which to judge by the cou¬
ples meandering around in the moon¬
light alone, is the most popular thing.
We may look out for more weddings
soon if the meetings amlj moonlight
continue. Oh, “there is nothing half
so sweet in life as love’s young dream,’
and one can easily' stroll a mile or so
with the adorable “she,” unconscious
of time and space.
“As softly falls loud the moonlight from above,
Speaks that glance of friendship or of
love ?
It is not love, ah! friendship then is
sweet.”
and if this is thus, it will not be long
crc those concerned can comprehend
the “Oneness of the Two.”
Lucile.
Am to Our Town.
About a year ago a business boom
struck the State of Georgia, and many
towns and cities organized manufac¬
turing associations, for the purpose of
inducing manufacturers to locate their
works in these respective places.—
Atlanta went at (he work with a vim,
aud the association organized there
lias caused to be invested in that city,
during the time above named, over
one hundred thousand dollars in dif¬
ferent kinds of manufacturing estab¬
lishments.
Macon and other cities are doing the
same thing, and it is time that small
towns like Eastman and other places
with local advantages were inaugu¬
rating such enterprises. Strictly com¬
mercial points arc bound sooner or
later to go under, where more enter¬
prising places will catch on to the
boom and follow along with the grand
procession of progress and prosperity.
Go to any commercial town in Geor¬
gia, and you will find a number of
men who are rich (in our southern
acceptation of the word) and they
have, in part, if not wholly, made
their fortunes, in various ways, off of
the earnings ot the wealth-producers
of the country; and now, in the pos¬
session of this hoarded wealth, when
a business, building boom strikes their
towns, the)’ arc skeptical of any talk
011 the subject, and will not take hold
of that which would help those who
helped them in the pas.t. Such is the
history of some towns, but docs not
apply to ouis.
Eastman is a young town, hut she
has tier monied men, and they ought
to display more energy in advancing
tier interests. Our town is too small;
she ought to have one or two more
railroads; there ought to be more
houses, more people, more shops, more
everything. We ask the gentlemen of
our town, who own property here, in
all candor anil frankness, if they have
no higher aspiration than to see their
town never rise above the dignity of a
railroad station? Sell your town lots
cheaper, encourage people to come and
settle down with us, and inaugurate
manufacturing enterprises, Gentlc
men, if wc ever have a larger, livelier
town than at present, we have got to
get up and go to work.

The appointment of Major J. F. Han¬
son, of Macon, to speak here ou the
lltli inst., upon the national subject of
“Protective Tariff,” lias been postponed
to Saturday, 14th inst. This postpone¬
ment was occasioned by the fact that
the State military drill comes off in
Macon on the lltli and 12th iusts., and
Major IL. is a member of the citizens’
committee for this grand time, render¬
ing his presence there very essential.
Saturday is always somewhat of a

He is a fine orator, and the subject he

to our people, but one of which they

The New York Sun has boon dis
cussing the country editor and his
trials and tribulations. It talks like
it had ••been there,” and its words
seem to proceed from the storehouse of
experience. It says;
“ If county newspaper proprietors
were to publish tiie names of the sub
scribcrs who take, read and enioy and
are gratified by, yet refuse to pay for
their home paper, the reputation of
most communities for moral honesty
would depreciate twenty per cent.—
An editor’s labors arc seldom esteem
cd or compensated. A lawyer will
give you five minutes’ advice on one
topic and charge von five dollars for
it. A 11 editor will give you advice on
a hundred topics and charge you five
cents a copy for his paper. And very
often five cents given to an
would save five dollars given to a
lawyer. In fact no other
men are so universally robbed and
swindled out of their labor and
tal as the county newspaper editor.”
