—We do not wish to make a tyrade
upofi postmasters at large, but there
arO many country postmasters who neg¬
lect to attend to their duties, either
from ignorance or laziness—^probably
both. Their negligence causes pub¬
lishers to lose money by not notifying
them when subscribers order papers
discontinued. The postoffice depart¬
ment. furnishes postmasters with blank
cards, to be used for this purpose only,
and updn their failure to notify pub¬
lishers when a patron moves away, or
refuses to take his paper from the
office, said p. ms. should be reported
to the proper authorities and bounced
from the office. If oui* brethren of the
press all over the country would con¬
demn this negligence of postmasters,
they would save money thereby.
B. It. Folsom, our leather and
harness dealer, has moved into his
new quarters in the rear of II Paris >
dry goods store, where lie is fully pre¬
pared to furnish everything in the
harness line. IIis work is all war¬
ranted—hand-sewed, and his prices
are as low as those of any city dealer.
When in need of anything in the
harness lino, call on Mr. Folsom. Ilis
goods are far superior to any shoddy
machine-sowed work, which you find
outside of firstclass harness shops.—
Mr. Folsom also repairs harness on
short notice, and in the best work¬
manlike manner.
—Wc leai'n that ten or twelve par¬
ties were arrested in HawKinsvillo on
Saturday lust, charged with illegally
selling spirituous liquors. The arrest¬
ed parties were released under a bond
of one hundred dollars each, and will
havo a trial one day next week. The
affair created considerable excitement,
so wo learn, and there is more or less
conjecture as to how it will terminate.
That the law has been violated, there
is no doubt, it seems, and if such is
the case, some one will have to suffer
the consequences.
—Our popular merchant and clover
fellow-townsman, Mr. II. E. Newman,
has just had some neat improvements
made on his already comfortable resi¬
dence. Another room has been added
thereto, and a large bay window made
to the parlor, which adds much to the
beauty of the building. Mr. N’s fine
taste is again displayed in the style
of his front fqncc, which is the nob¬
biest in the town. Taken altogether
Mr. Newman has a lovely home, and
evrrything Is kept in admirable style.
—Mr. A. W. ftlvifMv, who has been
teaching near Chauncey for the past
lew months, closed his school on Fri¬
day last, with the usual exercises. Mr.
S. is a most excellent teacher, and lias
given universal satisfaction during the
term just closed. He leaves this week
for his old home at White Plains, Ga.,
where he will remain several weeks,
before entering Oxford College. He
will graduate from this college some
time next year.
—Passenger trains are now making
regular trips to Abbeville, and the
people of that little town and vicinity,
are jubilant over the fact. We learn,
however, that there is a movement on
foot to move the county seat from
Abbeville to Boschelle, ten miles near¬
er the centre of the county, and also
upon the new line of railroad. This
rumor retards the prosperity of Abbe¬
ville, the future of which for some
time has been so bright.
—The Sandersville “Progress,” in a
recent issue, pays Dr. Hcrrman, of our
town, the following compliment=
“We regret to learn that Mr. Sam. Ba
shiuski, of Tennille, is quite sick from
the effects of a carbuncle. Mr. II. is
loud in his praises of Dr. Jeff Herr
man, of Eastman, who was called in
consultation with Dr. Hatch, the treat¬
ment suggested by Dr. llerrmau af¬
fording great relief.”
—There came near being a serious
runaway on County Road street Fri¬
day last—the mules of Mr* Andy Cad
well becoming frightened and mak¬
ing a bold break, just as Mr. C. was
getting into tlie wagon. The mules
van but a short distance, however,
when Mr. W. A. Cooper caught them,
greatly endangering his life thereby.
—We regret to state that Dr. J. C.
Montgomery, o! CUaunccy, has been
sick for the past two weeks—indeed
ho has been confined to his bed dur¬
ing this time. As soon as the doctor
sufficiently recovers to travel, he will
go to Atlanta and place himself under
treatment. Dr. M’s many friends join
us iu wishing tor him a speedy and
final recovery.
—To the Journal’s corps of able
contributors we aro pleased to say
that space is no longer an object with
us, while our appreciation of their fa¬
vors has not one whit abated. Contin¬
ue to send us the news, friends, from
your respective localities, though they
should be hurriedly gotten up, and,
with your permission, wc will place
them in shape.
—If the individual who sent us
through the postoffice for publication
charges as to our merchants’ unfair
weights and measures, will only have
the mauliuess to furnish his name, to¬
gether with some reason for the falla¬
cy that so moves him, we may con¬
sider and perhaps think about it.
—Mr. 11 D. Harper, who has been
connected with the Amoskcag Lum¬
ber Company, at thU place, for a long
while, in tho capacity of sawyer, has
severed his couuectioir with said com¬
pany, and accepted a position with the
Empire Lumber Company at Frazier.
Mr. H. is a most excellent young gen¬
tleman, and his many friends hero ro
gret to lose him.
—Some thief entered the chicken
houso of Col. Roberta last Saturday
night and stole six line fowls/
—Mrs. Mary Hamilton and Mrs. De

—Senator D. M- Roberts spent list
Sdturday aud a portion of Sunday at

—Mrs. Synthia Clark, of Chauncey,
visited her son, Mr. M. Clark, in this
place, last Week. She is, perhaps, the
oldest lady in this section, being now
near 80 years of age.
—Messrs. L. O. Peacock and Jimmie
Bohannon, of our tow n, spent Sunday
last in Iiawkinsville. It is said that
there is a feminine attraction in our
sister town for these young genls.
-‘In addition to enlarging the
Journal, we arc putting in a hand¬
some line ot job type and stationery,
which will enable us to compete with
any job office in style of work and
prices therefor. Send in your orders.
—Read the advertisement of Witi
sliip & Callaway,the leading clothiers
of Macon, and when in the city call
• n them and get “suited.” The firm
needs no commendation at our hands.
Our people all know them.
—Mr. E. L. Pound, the junior pro¬
prietor of the Macon Evening News,
died ill that city on the 18th inst. He
was unpromising young man, and his
premature death is regretted by all.—
He was well known in Eastman, hav¬
ing at one time been employed in the
Journal office. Peace to his ashes.
—Head the card of llev. It, D. Gen¬
try in this issue. He represents some
of the oldest and best insurance com¬
panies in America and Europe, and
parties desiring to insure'’ either life
or property should w rite or consult
him.
—Mr. J. C. Ryals, of Copeland, was
in Eastman on Saturday last, and
gave us a pleasant call. He informs
us that the new railroad from Abbe¬
ville to McVille will run directly
through his lot aiul wiihin a few feet
of his store door. Mr. It. is rejoiced
at this fact, ami speaks encouragingly
of the future prospects of his section.
—The new residence of Mr. W- F.
Harrell is nearing completion, and
will be a model of neatness and com¬
fort. Messrs. Julian & Richards are
the contractors, aud their work on this
building shows them to be excellent
carpenters. We wish for Mr. Harrell
and his estimable young wife much
happiness in their new home. (
—The Christian church building iu
this place is going lip at a rapid rate,
and will be ready foroccupaiicy within
two or three weeks. When finished
this will be the handsomest church
edifice in tli ; s entire section, reflecting
great credit upon the contractor, Mr.
J. W. Worsham. The Christian church
is rapidly growing in popularity in
this section, as the speedy erection of
their neat house of worship attests.
—The Kennesaw Restaurant, J.
Valentino, agent, has an advertise¬
ment in the Journal. Don’t fail to
call in at the “Old Reliable” Kennc
saw when you visit Macon and have
your wants supplied. They are pre¬
pared with everything of the verv
best and polite and attentive clerks
and Waiters to serve you.
— A colored man named Brantley,
fell pl’ostrate on County Hoad street
Saturday morning last, aud was
thought for a while to be in a critical
condition. lie was carried to his
room and recovered in a few hours,
lie said he had been imbibing too
freely in “domestic” wines for several
days, causing him to have a swim¬
ming in the head.
—The Methodist festival on Friday
evening last, was quite a success
in every way. There was a large
crowd present, and we learn that the
proceeds of the evening amouuted to
about $30. When the ladies of the M.
E. Church enter into an atlair of this
kind they always succeed.
—Eastman is now tho “dinner
house” for the day passenger trains
on tho E. T. V. & G. railway. The
two trains meet here at nochi, and am¬
ple time is given for the passengers
to dine. This a good tiiliig for the
hotel DcLietch, where eiegant meals
are always spread.
The Macon Telegraph now flings
itself to the breeze under a new or¬
der ot things, having changed entire
ownership and the business and ed¬
itorial management passing from the
hands of Major Hanson and Col. La¬
mar to those of Messrs.- Jas. Camp¬
bell and Harry S. Edwards. As to
the resul's of this change we prefer
to make no prediction. We can only
trust it will not prove for the worse,
while it will be anticipating much to
expect an improvement.
—October 27th, at the State Fair, will*
be “Drummers’ Day,” and this date
promises to be a most interesting occa¬
sion. Drummers and merchants frolu
all over tire States of Georgia, Florida,
North and South Carolina, Alabama
and Mississippi will be preseut aud
participate iu the grand reunion and
jollification. The Eastman Cornet
Band has been engaged by the “drum¬
mers” to furnish music on this occa¬
sion, aud their excellent taste and
judgment is well displayed in thia se¬
lection, for there is no better company
of young men in Georgia than those
composing the Eastman Cornet Baud.

I>r. Itaimom Attain.
Two or three weeks ago a colored
man, hailing from Macon, calling him¬
self “Dr. Henry Ransom, the celebra¬
ted Indian physician,” appeared in
Eastman, and at once made himself
quite conspicuous by his “gift of gab.”
The Doctor (?) repaired to a wine
room and proceeded to “celebrate” in
the usual way, atid was soon drunk as
a lord, and after considerable boister¬
ous talk and uneven walking, he was
locked up, under a charge of d. d.—
Before the mayor’s court he pleaded
guilty to the charge, was fined $2.50
and set at liberty.
The “celebrated Indian Doctor” then
retired to the country, it seems, and
commenced the practice of his “ pro¬
fession”—giving root medicines, “lav
ing on of the hands,” and other antics
unknown to the medical fraternity.—
lie succeeded iu creating quite a sen¬
sation among the country darkies,
some of the more ignorant claiming
that wonderful cures had been effect¬
ed upon them. During the Doctor’s
career in Hie rural districts, some one
swore out a warrant against him,
charging him with “practicing with¬
out license.” Said warrant was placed
in the hands of sheriff Itawlins, with
instructions to execute; but Ransom,
learning of the existence of such a pa¬
per, skipped the country, and returned
to Macon.
Learning of his whereabouts, Mr.
Rawlins went to Macon, arrested Ran¬
som, brought him to Eastman and
lodged him in jail. lie had a trial on
Tuesday afternoon before Justice Jas.
Arthur, Col. Hull appearing for (he
defense and Col. Calhoun as prosecu¬
tor. After hearing the testimony of
quite an array of witnesses, pro. and
con. and li.-tcning to a considerable
display of legal talent, the court ruled
that there was no ease against Ran¬
som, and he was discharged. The
court then adjourned, while the bar
and sheriff hummed the old familiar
song, “Return ye Ransom sinner
home.”
Baris’ Vi.sit to llie 8(atc Fair.
Some of our contemporaries of the
South Carolina press arc rather harsh
in their criticisms upon the people of
Macon for inviting, ami cx-Fresidcnt
Davis for accepting an invitation to
be present at the State Fair.
The Abbeville l*re>s amt Banner
and the Charleston News and Courier
have seen fit to deliver themselves of
editorials condemning the move, and
in doing so assign therefor nothing
but the most ridiculous and far-fetch¬
ed reasons. The Charleston Dispatch
and the Sumpter Watchman have
both come promptly to the front and
in no unmeaning terms, denounce
with becoming boldness these unjust
attacks made upon our citizens in
seeking to do honor to one of the
grandest old men that ever lived—a
veteran soldier and a Statesman, who
is held dear in the hearts of all true
Southerners and whose fidelity to the
cause subject he of espoused mi ration will bv ever Hie unpreju¬ bo the

Change in flic KesriM ration
Law for Tcifitir County.
Hon. Duncan W. Cameron, mem¬
ber of Hie House of Representatives
from Telfair county, informed us on
Monday last that his bill amending
the registration law of that county
had been passed by the legislature.
The bill amending Hie act require*
the tax collector to regisfer the voters,
and allows him seventy-five dollars
for the service. The registration ot
voters and tax payers is a timely and
excellent law, and especially in coun¬

is the only way In which many men

The large delegation of Masons from
Eastman, who attended the meeting of
Macon Lodge last Friday night, must
have enjoyed their visit iirmrciTsely,
judging from the following, written
from our town to the Telegraph, un¬
der date of the 25th inst.*:
“A large here, delegation from the Ma¬
sonic Lodge visited Macon Lodge
No. 5, on Friday uight last, where
they were aocovded a royal welcome.
Not only were they shown someof the
beauties of Ancient Craft Masonry,
but they were the recipients of a gen¬
erous hospitality for which the Macon
Lodge is noted. The occasion will be
long reirtombercd by the brethren from
Eastman*.”
Obituary.
The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Sa’lie
M. Woodard, was born Aug. 18, 1858,
aud died Sept. 21, 1887—making her,
at the time of her death, 2J years; 1
month aud 3 days old. She Joined the
Missionary Baptist church in 1873; was
baptized by Rev. J. A. Harper, and
has since lived a pious, consistent life.
At the time of her death her niember
ship was at Oak Grove church, aud
here her accustomed place in the house
of worship and in the community,
will be hard to fill. Her cheerful
spirit, her kind heart, her sweet, for¬
giving temper, had strongly endeared
her to all who knew her. The devo¬
ted husband and little children will,
however, suffer most deeply this sad
bereavement, for tliefe was never a
more faithful aud 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 tine,
we rejoice in the realization that ail
the journey up the eastern slope was
overshadowed by the bright effulgence
of her Maker. The deceased never
shrank from a Christian duty,but 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.ion, 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 sweetly passed away.
The deceased was laid to rest in
Woodlawn cemetery, followed thither
by a large concourse of sorrowing rel¬
atives and friends. *
Bare Reaves Captured.
Dave Reaves, (ho colored man who
was scut up from Dodge superior court
for nine years, for manslaughter, and
who escaped from Gross’ convict
camp three or four weeks ago, was
captured in Pond Town, (his cld
home) on Wednesday morning, 21st
inst.
The particulars of his capture, as
we learn them, are about as follows :
After Reaves’ escape from llie 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 lie was fed by another col¬
ored man in the neighborhood, who
would approach I lie edge of the
swamp in the early morn and whistle,
so that the harbored culprit might
know of his presence, find come out
and get his daily rations. These early
walks and whistle were “oaught on”
to by a young white gentleman ot the
same neighborhood. Mr. J. II. Crutch¬
field, and lie at onee was convinced
that lie had Reaves spotted, and ac¬
cordingly shouldered his trusty old
“double barrel” and also sallied forth
»o the meeting place of the escaped
convict and his friend, but just an
hour or so before him.
Mr. Crutchfield secreted himself iu
the corner of a fence, and began the
whistling act. He had to whistle and
wait only a few minutes, when Reaves
walked up, and Mr. C. arose and lev¬
eling the gun upon him, told him to
throw un his hands, which he did,
with the exclamation, “Boss, you’ve
got me ”
Mr. Crutchfield brought his prison¬
er on to Eastman, and thence carried
him to Gresston, where he was again
shackled and put at hard labor.
A reward of $50 had previously
been offered by Mr. Gress for the ar¬
rest of Reaves, and this reward was
promptly paid over to Mr. C.
We learn that Mr. John W. Coffee,
of Pond To vVii, had also offered a re¬
ward of $100 for Reaves, and this
was also paid over to the same gen¬
tleman.
W6 would here remark that the
prisoner in question Was accused of
burning the property of Mr. Coffee,
at different times, and tor this
reason Mr. C. was anxious to get him
out of the frcighborh'ootf.
Mr. Crutchfield deserves much
praise for the shrewdness he exhibit¬
ed in capturing this bad man, and
should receive the thanks of the en¬
tire section.

Frazier, in«;, Ga., Sept. 27.— On WedilCs
day. 21st illo new mill of the
EUipirc Lumber Company, at this
place, was started, and lias run regu¬
larly each day since. The irial has;
so fat-, been very satisfaetdry; and if
nothing serious happens wb Will be
turning out lumber at the rate of 130,
000 to 80,000 feet daily in a vbry short
time.
Mr. J. C. Aildctson and wife, of
Chattanooga, accompanied by Mr. D:
W. Hughes, also of Chattanooga, Was
down on a few days’ visit last week.
Mr. Anderson is President of the
Empire Lumber Company, and is one
of the most unassuming and cleverest
ot men.
Mr. Hughes is a heavy dealer lit
lumber; and promises to come down
as often as possible to sec us.
The residence of Mr. J. W. High¬
tower, the general manager, is nearing
completion, and is indeed a handsome
and substantial struct lift}; which
would bb an ornament to any city.—
Mr. Robert Murray is tile dPchitcct,
and the building does him credit.
The offices ot the company are also
nearly finished, and are commodious
and comfortable as could be wished.
Dr. J. B. Carroll is about to erect
at Frazier, near the depot, three neat
and substantial cottages for rent; also
one store-house, which yvhen comple¬
ted will add much to the looks of the
place.
The dry kilns are being built at the
mcklc-platc mill, and the work is be¬
ing rapidly poshed forward under the
able supervision of Mr. L. Moore,who
has probably built more dry kilns
within the last five years than any
other man in the South.
