—We do not wish to make a tyradc
upon postmasters at large, but there
are many country postmasters who neg
lcct to attend to their dutiek, either
from ignorance or laziness—probably
both. Their negligence causes pub¬

them when subscribers order papers
discontinued. The post office depart¬
ment furnishes post masters with blank
cards, to be used for this purpose dnly,
and Upon their failure to notify pub¬
lishers when a patron moves away, or
refuses to take his paper from the
ofliee, said p. ms. should be reported
to the proper authorities and bounced

Dr. Kansoni Again.
Two or three weeks ago a colored
man, hailing from Macon,callingiiim
self “Dr. Henry Ransom, the eelebra
ted Indian physician,” appeared in
Eastman, and at once made himself
quite conspicuous by his “gift of gab.”
The Doctor (?) repaired to a wine
I’Ooin and proceeded lo “celebrate” in
the usual way, and was soon drunk as
a lord, and after considerable bolster

in the hands of sheriff Rawlins, will,
instructions to execute; hut Ransom,
learning of the existence of such a pa¬
per, skipped the country, and returned
to Maeon.

Rawlins went t«> Maeon, arrested Ran- 1

Obituary.
The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Sadie
M. Woodard, was born Aug. 18,1858,
ant ^ l bed Sept. 21,1887 making her,
at Hme of her ctealh, 29 years, 1
mouth and 3 days old. She joined the
Missionary llaptistchurch in 1873; wav
baptized by Her. J. A. Harper, and
has since lived a pious, consistent life,
At the time of her death her member
ship was at Oak Grove church, and
here her accustomed place in the house
of worship and in the community,
will be bard to fill. Her cheerful
spirit, her kind heart, her sweet, for
giving temper, had strongly endeared J
her to all who knew her. The devo- J
tod hu.-band and little children will, j
however, suffer most deeply this sad
bereavement, for tliefc was never a
more faithful and dutiful wife nor a
more fond, indulgent mother. But
while death brought her helpful and
beautiful life to an end while its sun
was just crossing the meridian line,
we rejoice in the realization that all
the journey up the eastern slope was
overshadowed by the bright effulgence
of her Maker. The deceased never
shrank from a (Jhris.ian duty,hut with
abiding faith in the God and Friend
of the widow and orphan, she reso¬
lutely addressed herself to the tasks
required, and right gloriously lias she
succeeded. During her last sickness,
which was of about three weeks’ du
ra>io:i, Mrs. Woodard was patient and
submissive, and met death as a Chris
tian—perfectly resigned to go—met it
as one who had “adorned the doctrines
of God her Savior” in walk and con
versa, ion, until at last the world was
made poorer, her church weaker, and
a home desolate, as she heard and
heeded the call of Divine compassion,
and laying her wearied form upon
the death couch, quietly folded her
hands and sAveetly passed away.
The deceased was laid to rest in
Woodlawn cemetery, followed thither
«ilv« hv a large concourse of sorrowing rel
and ........I > .
S>uv<‘ Reaves t’aptnrcd.
Dave Reaves, the colored man who
was sent up from Dodge superior court
for nine years, lor manslaughter, and
who escaped from Gross’ convict
camp three or four weeks ago, was
captured in Pond Town, (his old
home) on Wednesday morning, 21st
inst.
The particulars of his capture, as
wc learn them, are about as follows:
After Reaves’ escape from the con¬
vict camps, he made his way back to
his old haunts, and secreted himself
in a dense swamp—one almost im
penetrable by men or dogs. From
this place be was fed by another col¬
ored man in the neighborhood, who
would approach the edge of the
swamp in the early morn and whistle,
that the harbored culprit might
know of his presence, and come out
and gel hi-, daily rations. These early
walks and whistle were “caught on”
to by a young white gentleman ot the
same neighborhood. Mr. J. II. Crutch¬
field, and he at once was convinced
that he had Reaves spotted, and ac¬
cordingly shouldered his trusty old
“double barrel’’ and also sallied forth
io the meeting place of the escaped
convict and his triend, but just an
hour or so before him.
Mr. Crutchfield secreted himself in
the corner of a fence, and began the
whistling act. lie had to whistle and ,
wait only a few minutes, when Reaves
walked up, and Mr. C. aro.ie and lev¬
eling the gun upon him, told him to
throw no his hands, which he did,
with the exclamation, “Boss, you’ve
got me ”
31r. Crutchfield brought his prison
er on to Eastman, and thence carried
l ‘"" 'vhc.c he was again

wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thou¬

When these arc clogged and choked

Mr. Hughes is a heavy dealer in
lumber, and promises to come down
as often as possible to see us.
The residence of Mr. J. \V. High¬
tower, the general manager, is nearing

would be an ornament lo any city.—
Mr. Robert Murray is the architect,
and the building does him credit.
The offices ot the company are also
nearly finished, and are commodious |
and comfortable as could be wished.
i)r. J. B. Carroll is about to erect
at Frazier, near the depot, three neat
and substantial cottages torrent; also
cue store-house, which when comple¬
