Ella Bennett and CatlierincPollock,
two duskj’ dames, living upon the
Amoskeag mill grounds; engaged in a
R*co fight on Thursday last, in which
the former vigorously used a razor
with most horrible effect. Fhe first
indicted tlpon licr antagonist a deep,
long gasli across the left breast, laying
bare the bones, from which wound
the blood flop, co in copious streams. It
seems that Cathrinc was unarmed,
and after the first stroke of the keen
weapon, the combatants embraced
each other, and again the woman with
the tazoi got in her bloody work. Tlie
ahead., .ouifully Wounded woman
was then cat from the right car clear
aiound the back of the neck to the
left ear, the sharp instrument severing
the arteries anil touching the bones
in its course causing the head of the
now almost lifeless wo man to fall upon
her breast. She also received other
wounds, and would doubtless have
been killed upon the spot, had not
parties interferred at this juncture of
the affray and stayed the hand of the
infuriated woman.
Dr. C. T. Latimer attended the
unfortunate woman, and done all in
his power to alleviate her sufferings.
At this writing (Tuesday noon) she
is still alive, with but little hopes of
her recovery.
YY r e learn that the “green-eyed mon¬
ster” jealousy was at the bottom of
this bloody tragedy—Ella thinking
that Catherine was overly demon¬
strative in her actions towards her
(Ella**) husband.
Ella was arrested on Monday by
sheriff Rawlins and lodged in jail.—
She had a preliminary trial Tuesday
at 10 o'clock a. m., bet ore Judge Jas.
Arthur, and an array of evidence was
produced, all in favor of the defend¬
ant. The court held that the evidence
adduced was not sufficient to bind the
accused woman over, and she was re¬
leased from custody.
The case will yet, doubtless, under¬
dence go thorough investigation, and evi¬
produced showing that some
one did commit a murderous assault
upon tiie said Catharine.

In Brief, ami to the Point.

done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that tncy

The third anniversary of Inglewood
Sunday school, which was celebrated
in that pleasant village, on the Ocmul
gee, last Wednesday, was the acme of
successes. The programme was in¬
deed interesting, and properly carried
out. Exercises were opened by pray
or, after which the worthy superin
tcudent, Judge Jas. Bishop, Sr., made
a speech, in which he clearly and
forcibly showed up the premises to
the satisfaction and delight of all.
Recitations from the school, inter
sper.sed with splendid music l>v the
Inglewood chor?.' fiext followed. The
rehearsal of little Charlie YVishart
deserves special mention. Col. B. R.
Caihoun, principal orator of the day, f
was heie intioduccd, and in a pleas
ant manner delivered an appropriate
address in which he heartily eonobor
ated what Judge Bishop had said rel¬
ative to Sunday schools and their
work. Gentry, Doughiry, Bryant,
Jessup, ct. ah responded to calls from
the anxious crowd (anxious for din¬
ner) in commendable manners. In
conclusion, Air. Jessup made his abili
ty as a rhymester known by reading
several verses of poetry composed by
himself uudcrtitlc “Inglewood Girls.”
j[ c began thus:
If I were a poet
To-«lay 1 wuuUUhow ij.
a»d he might have addeu,
JV" it.
However, his i iiyme was full of orig
inality of thought and individuality
of expression ; it contained the voice
ot In . ()p]lC( . v ana th(J me i 0(ly ot - pcr .
fret music; it exactly expressed the
sentiment of all present; it said much
fol . ws subject ; it left a great deal
more unsaid. Loud cheers from the
crowd helped to show their appreeia
llolI . 1( 1C dinner was at Inglewood,
and nothing more worthy could be
said of it. The afternoon was spent
juAt as participants desired, and Prov¬
idence never smiled on a happier
crew. Lemonade and ice water were
scrve ,, from nicc waUor , j„ )al . gc alll ,
well filled glasses throughout the day,
and nothing mcntioiiablc could have
added to the enjoyment of visitors.
Col. YVisliart aud Torn Pete YVilcox,
Esq., seemed unusually anxious that
all should have a good time, and no
effort failed.
Inglewood should now rest upon its
laurels, for nothing can be gained by
trying to improve on its third anni
versarv. Alav those generous, kind
and good people continue to enjoy thc
blessing which they always have, and
may the faithful old colored people,
who helped make YYednesday pleas¬
ant, be able either to “cross or go
’round Jordan” when the “great day
conies,” and rest “wliar de good dar¬
key goes.”

At eight Saturday the 10th
insl., 1 was ready to staM for Blue
water church, about six miles south¬
west of Dublin, and saw crops all in
good growing condition and very fine
too. I arrived at the church about
half past ten where I met a number of
my friends; also met several more,
among whom was Rev; James Smith,
of Dublin, their pastor. At eleven the
congregation was all assembled and
beard an able sermon from Rev.
James T. Smith, from Christ’s sermon
cn the Mount. They then had an in¬
termission of two .hours. Dinner was
tlien prepared and the congregation
Invited to com« forward and cat.
They were bountifully fed and pro¬
visions in abundance were left. At
three in the afternoon they were again
assembled in the house of God, and
heard a very interesting discourse
jrom Rev. Mr. Curry. The congrega¬
tion was llicit dismissed until Sunday
morning.
I then startod for Messrs. W. I». Ro¬
gers A: liro. Taking particular notice
of the crops all along I found them
in fine growing condition and as good
as could lie wished for, though they
are needing rain now to some extent.
I spent Saturday night very pleasant¬
ly indeed with Mr. and Mrs. YY'. B.
Rogers and brother, also met one of
Eastman’s fairest damsels,Miss Mattie
Clark. Miss Mattie is a persistent
young lady.
At eight o’clock Sunday morning I
aga J ri started for Biucwatcr. But I
must here extend to Mr. and Airs, po¬
gers and their brother thanks for the
kind manner in which I was treated
by them. In company with Mr. and
Atrs. W. B. Rogers, S. B. Rogers and
Alias Mattie Clark, wo arrived at our
destination about eleven o’clock. At
the usual time all who could obtain
seats wore seated, and were again very
much entertained by Rev. Mr. Smith,
lie preached a very interesting scr
nion from Mathew, 7th chapter, 2lst
verse. Thocongregation was then dis
missed until three in the afternoon,
Dinner j then prepared and all
were again invited to come and eat.
and everything that could be wished
for in the lino of refreshments was
set before them. There was an im¬
mense congregation present, but after
they were all filled of everything they
could ask for) I believe there was pro¬
visions enough left on the ground to
feed anothci such a congregation as
that. Sonic of the linast watermelons
I ever saw were then cut—they cer
tainlv were the finest I have .seen this
season. I must c.tlcnu to these kind
and generous people gratitude for the
courtesy I received during my short
stay with iliein. At three p. m. they
were again requested to go into tho
house of God, and they were again
very pleasantly entertained by Rev. J.
T. Smith for about an hour, which
closed the meeting.
I then had to make my way toward
home, which was about ten miles dis¬
tant. I did not enjoy tho ride home
so well after being in company two
days with so many accommodating
people. They deserve commendation
for the manner in which they con¬
ducted their protracted meeting. I
think all who are blessed with the op¬
portunity of attending their nerrt an¬
nual meeting, who atteuded this one,
will undoubtedly do so, for they
certainly used every effort to make
their visitors happy, to make them en¬
joy themselves while they stayed, and
to make them enjoy the meeting.
They are trying to complete their
church, and I hope they may receive
tho assistance of all who feel an in¬
terest in Christ. When tiicy get their
house fully completed they will have
a good church, a comfortable and
very neat house indeed.
With many wishes for tho success

Your correspondent made a flying

to gain affections, but didn’t pop thc

The salvation army took in Atlanta
last Saturday night. This army re¬
minds us ot the tail end of nothing
whittled down to a fine point.
The Legislature lias gone to Atlanta
to stay until ffost, it seems. They will
exhaust thc State treasury by that
time, amt will then adjourn. This
honorable body meets at 10 a. m., and
adjourns at 2 p. m. This is what is
now termed city style. They tlren ride
on thc street cars, attend the arrival
of alt passenger trains, take an occa
sional “smile” ot “nerve tonic,” smoke
the best cigars, Kimball play poker, stand
around the House and spit
tobacco juice ou the pavement, to be
swept up by the ladies’ diesses as they
pass by. In fact, the Legislature is
doing uothiug. Plow Boy.

Aow, when telegrams from every
point of the compass tell us of fervent
heat and frequent cases of sunstroke,
it Would worn not amiss to kbv some
things about the ways of disease and
the prevention thereof
It is a«t generally known that “comp
do solid;” or iojftatroket in Caused bv
the acton* heating of the body, astosted
by R lever thehnonietef to a point that
threatens the arrest of the vital func¬
tions. The natural temperature of a
healthy person without fcVOr or other
cause to elevate it above the normal
figure, is about |*8 and one-half de¬
grees. A fever or a pncutfiouia that
puts it above 104 for 24 hdiirs is of it¬
self an item fraught witli much dan¬
ger. A man (tying, with sunstroke
will register IK) degrees. Strictly
speaking, it is not the heat of the sun
or the surrounding air that so much
oppresses us.
YV beiicve i- * bn air about approach
es 98'/; we cease to get rid of our own
animal heat; simply because the equi¬
librium between our bodies and the
medium in which we live so nearly
established. That is, wc keep cool by
getting rid of our animal heat as fast
as it is made within iis, and keep
warm by a reverse operation—retain¬
ing it.
Y\ ha (ever lowers the vital forces
makes us more susceptible to Hun
stroke. Nothing promotes the tenden¬
cy td it more than the loss of sleep.
Model at ion in laborious exposure to
the sun and eight hours sleep at night
will exempt almost every one in this
climate.
Sanitary science, pr preventive med¬
icine, we might call it, U in its i„fan
nt the f.i resent tune, but certainly
from what we hear ami see in niedical
envies, it is a most vigorous bantling.
The tendency is emphatically to dis¬
cover and fasten upon the tangible
cause;- sickness. The germs of ty¬
phoid lever, pulmonary consumption,
malarial fever, cholera, and yellow fe¬
ver are so constantly found by the mi
cimcopist in (he secretions of the vio¬
lin’s. of these maladies,' and always
hearing peculiar marks in each disease,
that they are almost set down as the
essential causes of (hose diseases.
Y\ hat a flood of light these discov
cries tlirow upon the work of prevent¬
ing diseases f * If the causes of disease
are material, and visible by the aid of
a common microscope, mav be seen,
cultivated and reproduced, and placed
in a healthy organism making a simi¬
lar disease, lmw diligently should wo
bring to bear in our lives and habits
eve ry sensible measure looking to the
cstal'Iisbiuent of a blockade to the en
trance of these parasites into ou r
bodies. Here cleanliness, once said to
be “next to godliness,” promises much.
Nowhere is this so important as where
we mostly eat, drink and sleep. Cer¬
tainly, with most people,’ at home.
If medical science is worth a mo¬
ment s attention, there is nothing more
generally believed' in its circles than
that typhoid lever, said by an emi¬
nent physician to bo the fever of tho
I nited States, is generally imbibed
from the “old oaken bucket, the iron
bound bucket, tho moss-covered buck¬
et that hangs in thewelL” Thorough
investigation is generally Attributing
it s repetition year after year to the wa
tef Supply.
Unusual opportunities for verifying
these conclusions have occurred in tho
country within the last year or two.
Whole communities have been strick¬
en down ; lit one instance a thousand
cases in a town of seven or eight
thousand population, and physians
trom distant points have gone there to
study it.
It is said by distinguished sanitarians
that an ordinary well drains the adja¬
cent soil to a distance twice its depth*
Apply this fact to the status of an or
dinary lot in any of our Georgia towns
or villages.
We have in Eastman a good many
lots 75 or 80 by 100 or 150 feet. Tho
well, for convenience, is placed near
the residence. Tho wear and tear of
the human bodies within that homo
is thrown out, swept out or in sonio
way deposited upon, and year after
year contair'iirates the soil leeched by
the well. From the kitchen window,
is daily thrown, in many eases, vast
quantities of organic matter, which,
when bent added to moisture opera¬
tes upon it, fairly reeks with pesti¬
lence. YY'e have heard the expression,
l< thcre is death in the pot,” but as what¬
ever goes in the pot is intensely heat¬
ed/ and as heat IS death to the germs,'
the death comes from eating too much
of what comes otlt of the “pot ;” but
too truly there is danger in the long
tr-cd “dish-rag” which wipes the knife,
fork and plate next used' by you.
Water absorbs gasses, foul or other¬
wise, with great rapidity; yet how
often a feverish child is helped from a
pitcher which has stood over night in
a close bed room.'
It i« pretty sure, that at best, we arc
exposed continually to flic causes of
disease. Our systcrts*nv'alntain a war¬
fare against these Various odds for
and against, and with ever changing
results. Sometimes thc.V get thc bet¬
ter of us,'and then'Wc arc sick.
Finally, there is no tonic or preven¬
tive that helps us in this contest so'
mucli’ as a cheerful state of mind. Be
cheerful at all hazards* To bo other
