—George Woods forgot the impor¬
tant feature to laugh when he told the

A
A gloom w«« cast over our little city
on Friday afternoon last, 13th inst., by
the announcement that Miss Alicia
Crawley was no more. She breathed
her last at 8hi p. m., surrounded by
devoted lady friends and a kind, at¬
tentive physician—J. D. Uerrmau.
Miss Crawley was fiom Cincinnati,
Ohio, and reached this place, on her
return home, after spending several
months in Jacksonville, Fla., oil the
11th of March last. She was in thelast
stages of consumption, ami her stop¬
over here gave her a longer lease on
life. She placed herself under the
medical attentionof Dr. Hcrrmnn,and
through his skillful treatment the un¬
fortunate young lady improved rap¬
idly ; but alas l the tell destroyer, con¬
sumption, had too nearly quenched
the spark ot this young life, and to re¬
kindle it was beyond medical skill.—
She bore her sufferings while among
us with fortitude commensurate with
her convictions of a Christian’s life,
and met death with a calm, sweet res¬
ignation—perfectly willing to go. Oh,
that life could thus end with us all I
Miss Mary Crawley, a sister of the
deceased, arrived here about the 23d
ult., and remained until the sad event
transpired. Sho was a most kind,
amiable lady, perfectly devoted to her
afflicted sister, and her grief knew no
bounds when that pure spirit took its
flight.
The deceased received every atten¬
tion possible, during hot* sojourn here,
from the ladies of the town. Mrs.
Lietch, proprietress of the Hotel Do
Lietch (at which house the departed
one was stopping) deserves praise for
the attentive manner in which she
cared for the unfortunate lady, while
the untiring attentions of Dr. Herr¬
in an and Mr. W. W. Pendleton, the
polite clerk of the house, were magnan¬
imous in the extreme.
The deceased was a copyist in the
office of the C. II. & I). It. It., at Cin¬
cinnati, and Col. C. M. Itathbun, the
southern traveling agent of said road,
came down and carried the remains
home lor intennent—loaving here on
Saturday’s early north-bound train.
Thus passed away a beautiful young
life, and the pure spirit has joined the
hymning myriads whose song is
Louder than the thunder’s roar,
Or the fullness of the sea
W hen it breaks upon the shore.
Men Who Make and Fnmnlce
Towns.
Every growing and ambitious city
is composed of three elements: Those
who work patriotically, vigorously and
intelligently for its advancement;
those w ho arc in a state of apathy or
indifference, and those who take a
curious delight in discouraging the
efforts of others by ridicule, by a per¬
sistent denial that any progress can
or has been accomplished, and by
boasting their of every other city besides
own. The last class arc called
croakers, but really they are some¬
thing worse, for their opposition does
not arise simply from despondency,
but from that unenviable spirit which
will neither act itself nor suffer others
to act.
Please Shell Over.
From the tardiness with which some
of our friends comply with promises,
wc tear they imagine us to be running
the Journal on the credit subscription
plan. If such be your understanding*
friends, you arc laboring under an
hallucination. AYc arc trying to make
the Journal worth the price of sub¬
scription, and not foolishly trust¬
ing to make a success ot our business
on mere promises in payment for our
honest toil.
For U*Harity'» Make.
Let’s create a few more offices.—
Some of our friends arc getting noth¬
ing from the public crib, and a life of
inactivity, if indulged in to excess,
might eventually unfit one mentally
for the responsible duties of public
trust when their country can no long¬
er do without their services.
As a last resort, if nothing belter
can be devised, for the reason above
given, we second the motion to ap¬
point a board of county commission¬
ers. It will at least be an exhibition
of charity, if accepted in the proper
light, while it will alike show a dispo¬
sition on our part not to let our tal¬
ent rust and decay.
Briag Yonr Wool to Easlman.
Though absurd it may seem, yet
nevertheless true it is, that the mer¬
chants of Eastman are prepared to
pay for wool, spot cash —better prices
than any home market, and as good
as Savannah or Brunswick. To
those in a position to know, it is un¬
necessary is mainly to explain that this thusness
the result of the good stand¬
ing by abroad of our businessmen, where¬
they are enabled to com maud all
the money required. Bring your wool
to Eastman and get the veiy top of the
market in cash therefor.
E<ecture Friday Night.
Rev. J. D. Anthony, Presiding Elder
of the Brunswick District, will deliver
a lecture next Friday night at the
Methodist church for the benefit of
the Woman’s Foreigu Missionary So¬
ciety of the Eastman Methodist
Church. Subject of lecture, “The
Funny Past, Ihe Amusing Present,
The Hopeful and Delightful Future.”
All who fail to hear this eloquent
man will miss a rare treat of fun and
solid sense. Let all come.

k Vaii Fader the Wheels of e Moving
Tniiii.
Mr. Sam. J. Smith, a young farmer,
living in the western portion of this
county, about five miles of Eastman,
happened to, perhaps, a fatal accident
on Friday afternoon last. Mr. Smith
boarded the train on the tram road of
the Amoskeag Lumber Company,
which ruus near his place, to come to
Eastman, where he arrived safely. He
purchased a number of small bundles
and returning to the starting point of
the train above named, again boarded
it, to return home. The train was
“backing” out, Mr. S. sitting upon the
advance (flat) car, and wheu the en¬
gineer neared the home of the injured
man, he “slacked up” to allow him to
step off. Instead of getting off at the
side of the slowly moving train, Smith
jumped oft’at the eild, and, losing his
step, fell under the pondrous wheels,
which crushed both his arms, split
the right foot open, and crushed in his
rig-lit side. He also received severe
injuries on the head, while some sharp
sliver penetrated his neck to the cav¬
ity, causing a ghastly wound. A more
mangled man was never seen ali\ r e.
Dr. J. M. Buchan was at once sum-*
moned, carrying with him Drs. Har¬
ris Fisher and C. T. Latimer. They
done everything in their power to alle¬
viate the sufferings of the poor fellow,
but, that amputation of the right arm,
at the shoulder joint, would be essen¬
tial, was obvious, and placing Mr. S.
under the influence of opiates, this
precarious operation was performed by
the attending physicians. We learn
through Dr. B. that the left arm of
the unfortunate man will also have
to be amputated, if he survives the
operation just performed, and suffi¬
ciently recovers strength to stand it.
As we go to press Mr. Smith is still
alive, but his recovery will be almost
a mvracle.
We will here state that the A. L. C.
Road is in no wise responsible for the
accident, and no one regrets it more
than engineer Stilson.
Mr. Smith is a hard-working young
farmer, has a wife and children, and
any charity extended them will be
worthily bestowed.
BeatU of Mr. W. I». Hurt.
It is indeed with a pang of regret
that we record the demise of tins es¬
timable gentleman, which occurred at
his home in Chaunccy, Ga., on Wed¬
nesday night last, after a brief Illness
of peritonitis.
Mr. Burt had about passed the mer¬
idian of life, and tor tho past ten or
fifteen years had been a resident of
the place above named, moving
among us from North Carolana. lie
was one of the most energetic euter
prlsiniiig men of the town, and the
vacancy will be hard to fill.
His counsel was guidance, and his
quiet business deportment was exem¬
plary to younger men. Mr, B. had
never united himself with any relig¬
ious denomination, but his meekly
walk through life, and his perfect
resignation to go, constrains us to be¬
lieve that “all is well” with him.
He leaves a young wife, and to her
and her relatives, the heartfelt sympa¬
thies of our entire people go out in
tears. The deceased was interred in
the cemetery at Chaunccy on Thurs¬
day last, the burial obsequies being
conducted by Rev. I*. A. Jessup, of
our town.
Thus passes away a genial compan¬
ion, a friend to all, and as the last
clod fell on the coffin lid, they but
echoed the sentiment:
“None knew you but to love yon,
None named you but to prai>e;
Green be the turf above thee.
Friend of our earlier days.”
Nuake In a Store.
On Friday morning last as Mr. S. D.
Eason was aq|0rhiug among some rub¬
bish under one of his counters he found
a vicious looking snake, which, upon
being molested, prepared for combat.
The reptile was immediately killed,
and measured 2 feet 4 inches in length.
The species of his snakeship was un¬
known, but it was thought to be a
“rattlesnake pilot.” Of course Mr. E.
was considerably startled at the pres¬
ence of his unexpected visitor, and
would like to know just how and when
it got into the store. This is the strange
feature of the case, and puzzles all.
Complimentary.
Wc clip the following complimenta¬
ry' mention of our fellow-townsmen
(named therein) from the Atlanta
Weekly News of the 7th inst. :
“Mr. P. O. Gibson has returned to

sojourn at Eastman, Ga. He reports
having enrolled an hundred and ninety

BOG-CiOVK!
A Mad Cur Creates a Sunday Sensation.
About 3 p. m. cn Sabbath last the
usual quietude of the holy day was
disturbed by the sharp report of a pis¬
tol. A mad dog was the target and
officer Skelton was doing the eanouade
act. The cur was discovered In the
yard of Rov. R. D. Gentry, cavorting,
frothing and foaming at the mouth,
and endeavoring to bite a hog ou the
premises. Mr. G. would not discharge
a firearm on the Sabbath, and step¬
ping out he noil fled officer S., who
at once appeared upon the spot, and
fired one or two shots at the rabbied
dog, but without success. The dog
jumped the fence, and ran in the di¬
rection of the “land office,” where he
halted. Mr. S. closely pursued him,
and at this point again fired, the ball
taking effect in one of his legs, but the
animal continued his race, cutting his
frantic capers as he went. Pursuit
by the officer was also continued, and
when the dog reached the thick shrub¬
bery just beyond the residence of Mr.
A. L. Ilobb?, he again halted. The*
man with the pistol advanced, and
the mad dog showed no disposition to
vacate, but to the contrary would have
attacked him, if not for the well di¬
rected shots then put in. The dog died
hard, and the manner In which lie bit
and broke the bushes around him,
showed that lie was suffering from
the rabies.
The aflair was something altogether
new—out of the regular routine of
Sunday life in Eastman, and created
considerable excitement. We would
here state that the dog in question was
not the properly of Mr. Gentry, but
that ot some unknown party.
'lT»c Early €'io»iu&' Movement.
With the coming of summer’s lo»g
sultry days, a desire springs up in the
breasts of the toilers in mercantile
houses to be oil' at an earlier hour, that
they may spend the evenings at some
pleasant or profitable pastime, thus
affording relaxation from the business
cares of each day. Whgt say the mer¬
chants of Eastman to closing their
stores at the hour of 6 p. m., during
the heated term, and all hands, pio
prietors and clerks take a recreation ?
They will feel fresher and brighter in
the morning, and there is but little
trading done after 6 o’clock, except on
Saturday evenings. The fact of early
closing would soon be known through
the community, and the inconvenience
to any one would be but slight.
—By a business transaction consum¬
mated on ‘Monday afternoon last,
the brick store housc known as the
City Drng Store, changed ownership.
Mr. W. N. Lieteli being the purchas¬
er. Mr. Lietch is one of our largest
property holders, this, making the
fourth brick building, besides the
handsome hotel and other property on
which lie pays city tax.
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee’s German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in curing Consump¬
tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three dos¬
es will relieve any 2ase, and wc con¬
sider it the duty of all druggists io re¬
commend it to the poor, dying con¬
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
80,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such a medicine as
the German Syrup cannot be too wide¬
ly known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try, sold at ten
cents. Regular size, 75 cents. Sold by
cd all druggists and dealers hi the Uni
States and C anada.
School 'll'anted.
I can recommend to any communi¬
ty in Dodge or adjoining counties, a
competent youn<r man, who desires a
three months public school.

visiting friends in Albany and will
stay some time at the Indian Springs,
before his return. Eddie accompan¬
ied him, and is rapidly gaining his
health and strength.
Mr. and Mrs. Weaver has just rc *
ccived a beautiful painting in oil, of
little Cora. It is a most beautiful and
life-like representation, Tho picture
is from the brush of a lady friend of
the famdy, Mrs. M. M. Weeks, of
. hchigan, and is a gem, showing tal
entaml tender feeling, as from the
canvas glows the life and soul of the
little one. 1 he expression beaming
from the eyes seems to bring a tender
message to those who loved her so
well and can but be a source of com
fort and joy to them.
Quite a serious accident occurred
on the the tram road Friday. A man
named S. J. Smith, in attempting to
jump from the train while in motion,
was caught by the break beam and
dragged some distance, fearfully nian
gling him, and there is but little
hope of his surviving. No blame is
attached to the engineer, Mr. C. F.
Stilson, who is, of all men, most cau¬
tious. It is a terrible warning to the
reckless disregard of danger shown
by most people.
Mr. J. W. Rogers happened to quite
an accident Monday. He was al work
on the roof of the hall, and trying to
raise a piece of scantling from below,
and fearing that it was about to fall
upon the heads of those working be¬
neath, by some means stepped on a
plank-which broko in twain precipi¬
tating liim on the sills below. lie
sprained his ankle and was badly
shaken up but was not seriously hurt.
“Wesley” him says that one thing consoled
when ho fell, that all the pretty ,
girls around came flying like minis
tering angels to his relief. He thinks
some of the boys would have taken
his fall to have been so favored, and
with the poet can truly say :
“Oh, Uncertain, woman! in the hours of ease,
coy, and hard to please,
And variable as the shade,
By AY hen the pain li^ht and quivering anguish aspen wring made:
A ministering the brow,
angel thou.”

Mil Editou •—A good many of your
readers will wonder where this place
is situated. Well, 1 do not know the
exact latitude and longitude, but wo
arc situated between the forks of the
Oconee river and Okec-Walkee creek,
in as good a pincy woods country as
can bo found anywhere. This place
was called after that irrepressible
drummer, Mr. James Landsborg, who
) is to build us a church, the commence¬
ment of which we all look anxiously
for.
The extensive naval stores business
of Mr. John Grady is situated at this
place, a sketch ot which wo will give
you ' at some future period,
I We have not much news to clironi
c lo from this place at present, and
| w hat wc have is of a rather sad na
j lure* The illness of Mrs. Iledmond,
wife of Mr. M. Y. Redmond, the
obliging store keeper at this place.
Mrs. ltedirond has just returned from
from Atlanta, where she has been un¬
der the treatment of Dr. Calhoun.
We trust she will ere long be restored
to health and strength again.
Mr. D. C. Pearce had tho misfor¬
tune to lose a fine boy last week. The
mourning family has tho deepest sym¬
pathy of the neighborhood.
Tho county iail at Mt. Vernon was
burned to the ground on Monday
night last. A colored prisoner tried
to effect his escape by burning loose
the hinges from the door, He man
aged to get one loose and was work¬
ing on the other, when the fire got
away from him and consumed tho
whole building, The prisoner was
released with some difficulty, and
with but slight damages. There was
only one prisoner in the jail at the
time, which speaks well for the couu
ty.
Wc intend to drop you a few dots
occasionlly from this place, and wo
i0 l )U our 110x1 communication will be
of a more cheerful nature,
P. S. I am Just after seeing tho
Rev, D. J. Mathews, who says your
paper is the best local paper lie knows
of. This, coming from such a source,
I consider quite a compliment to you.
Yours truly,
J. O. E.
