month, was found dead in bed at the
house of its mother (Mary Morgan)
on Divinity Hill last Friday. The

ed to be broken when its mother went
to awake it, and life Was extinct. A

ter a careful investigation of the case,
a verdict was rendered to the effect
that the infant came to its death from
natural causes—the arm, very proba¬
bly, being broken by striking it (dur¬
ing the night) against the bedstead
post, or by some one in bed with the
child accidentally turning over
the outstretched limb.

Eastman, G a., Sept. 14.
Mr.Editor 1 lease allow me space
in jour columns to return our heart
felt thanks to Mr. J. T. Colcord, man
agerof the Amoskeag Lumber Works,
loi hi* kindness towards our kins
man, Mr. A. L Boud, during his last
hours ot life. Being snatched sudden¬
ly from a life of devotion to his wife
and family (five children) and one of
usefulness and promise, Mr. C. comes
to their aid with a most bountiful
hand and a magnanimous heart—-de¬
fraying all funeral expenses and plac¬
ing the destitute family upon the pay¬
roll of the mill works. For this action
on the part of Mr. Colcord, the under¬
signed would respectfully return their
sincere thanks, assuring him that his
kindness in this direction shall nevtT
be forgotten.
To the citizens of Amoskcag, who
have so generously contributed to the
distressed lamily (in the amount of
about .foO) we would also return otir
grateful acknowledgements, and trust
that the bright star of happiness may
ever throw an effulgence of prosperity
athwart their thresholds.
Again, to the first-named gentleman
we would return thanks, and reassure
him that we will always prize him as a
generous, genial gentleman—one that
“though weighed iu the balance was
never found wanting.”

of overcoats, this house is unexcelled.
To further elaborate upon the cx
cellcncics of this cheap and obliging
firm, wc would state they keep every
thing usually found in a first-class
grocery house. This department is
always full and fresh, and our farm
era wishing provisions and plantation
supplies would do well to call. A full

this establishment. Call on Hcrrman

**A IIori*il>le Accident.**
“Atlanta, September 12.—Atom
hie accident is reported from En>luiau.
Miss McArthur, of Eastman was
gaged tube married to Mr. Pierson,
one of the most prominent young men
of that section. The families of both
arc wealthy and prominent, and the
wedding which was to take place in a
few days at the residence of Col. Tub
Holt* of Macon, was looked on as one
of the society events of the season,
Pierson’s father had built an elegant
home for the young people. On vc«
terday they were driving ont to in
spect the new home when tlieii horse
became frightened, and, overturning
the buggy, threw both violently to
the ground. Miss McArthur was in
stantly killed. Mr. Pierson was bad
ly injured, and at last advices had not
regained consciousness.”
The above story is one of the many
that go the rounds of the daily press,
copied by the weeklies, and thereby
gain a widespread circulation. There
is no foundation whatever to the
above; no such named parties live in
this section; no such accident has
ever occurred here or in iliis immedi¬
ate vicinity, and wo cannot hesitate to
denounce tho whole story as a fabri¬
cation from beginning to ond--onc of
the many base tales that arc sent to
the daily presses from rural towns bv
correspondents who have not the fear
of Clod or man in view. This fab
rieation appeared first, wo believe,
in one of the Savannah dailies, and
from there took a start, and has been
i Pretty generally circulated. We
won Id suggest that these sensational
contributors confine themselves to the
truth in their productions, and not
give notoriety where it is not due,

all his dealings with strangers, ac
quainlauce* or relatives, he was scru
puously honest,and thus taught others
to l»e honest, and it any of his ac
quaintanccs leave tins world with the ;
stain ot dishonesty on their charac
ters, they cannot trace it to any in-
11 lienee that he wielded on them.
He was sober and temperate. Though
living in a county and town where
file demon o( intemperance has ruin
cd and debauched its hundreds, he
was clear of their blood ; his influence
ivas against all forms ot sin. He was
an honored member of the Metlndist
Episcopal Church, South for many
\ eai ",and as a Church member,ho was
beautifully consistent. lie loved her
gland 1 lea\cu-born doctrines, and his
i'l.u e in ilie church was never vacant
when he could bo there. The grand
principles of reformatory grace were
imbedded in his heart and left their
impress on all the toils and labors
his long life. A sweet savor o( life
unto life flows from the character he
lortned.
How beautifully appropriate are the
inspired words of Apocalypse, “and I
heard a voice from Heaven saving
unto me, right blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from hence¬
forth, yea, saith the spirit, that they
may rest from their labors and their
works do follow them.” Rev. 14th
chapter, l.’Uh verse.
His pure spirit has ascended beyond
the farthest glimmering star that
shines in the arch above where there
is a world of truth and love which
earth's vile passions never mar.
Adieu, dear brother and friend, we
hope to meet you again on the golden
strand. R. D. GENTRY.

A Vicious Itul!.
Mr. A\ . J. Defour,oftliiseounty, had
a narrow escape from death a few days
ago, by coming in contact with a vi
mons hull, which he found strolling
through his premise **.
ri 1 „ lie particulars . of the tragic
encoun
ter, as we have heard them, are about
as follows:
Mr. Defoor had a number of mileli
cows running at large, and mounting
his saddle horse he wont in search of
them, accompanied by his faithful
“Towscr.” This canine seems to pos¬
sess the admirable qualities of histor¬
ic old “Tray”—proving faithful in the
hour of need.
Mr. D. found his cattle. among a
large drove, in an open, level field, and
lie finally succeeded ill separating
them from the same, w hen the mad
bovine charged furiously upon him
from the rear, striking the horse and
setting him backward upon his
luiunehc *>. From the sudden assault
the rider was throw n over the horse's
head, alighting upon his face and chest
—subjecting him to the mercy of the
enraged bull and the now frantic
rolling and stamping of the riderless
horse. At this juncture-of affairs the
dog put in his best bites, seizing the
bull by the hind quarters, and swing¬
ing on to him with a death grip.
This furious action on the part of
the dog surely saved Mr. Defoor’s life,
as the now infuriated hull was coining
down Upon him in a most maddened
manner. The hull then turned Upon
the dog, and the same relinquishing
his hold ran away, closely followed by
j the bull. During the chase Mr. D. re
