Sudden Death.
Mr. Ezekiel Norris, an old and honored
citizen of Anderson County, S. C., died
after a brief illness of two or three days,
on the 28th of February, aged about Hfi
years. He was well known to many of
subscribers on both sides of the Sa
vannah. lie leaves a large circle of rela
tives and a host of friends to mourn his
absence. He was a consistent member of
•.the Presbyterian Church.
Accidentally Shot.
Joseph Gloer and R. T. Tucker, two
young men, students of the Hartwell High
Kchool, on last Saturday, went out to ex
.ereise their skill in pistol shooting. While
r Mr. Gloer was reloading his pistol, it was
accidentally discharged, wounding him
slightly on the little finger of the left hand,
the ball burying itself in the instep of his
left foot. He left for his home on Sunday
evening, and at last aecounts was doing
very well. We hope to sec him back at
school in a few days. There seems to be
a kind of fatality about that pistol, as an
other gentleman wounded his hand with it
before. Throw away your pistols, young
men. and get some pop-guns—-they make a
vtl v pretty noise.
Dvmlli of Prominent Athenian*.
M t . Talmadgc, an old and widely es
teemed merchant of Athens, died suddenly
on Wednesday February 21st. He was
a man of worth and integrity. He leaves a
! wife and several children.
j Col. A. H. Christy, editor and proprie
j tor of the Southern Watchman, died at his
home in the city of Athens, on the 20th of
February, after a short but painful illness,
from injuries received on the Northeastern
Railroad, whereby he had his foot terribly
crushed. But a few days elapsed after the
accident, when mortification set in, which
resulted fatally. Col. Christy entered life
as a journalist at the early age of nineteen,
There are but few men in America who
have discharged the duties of an editor so
ably and successfully as he, or presented
truer perceptions of truth and right, or
done more for State and local interests.
He had a well-deserved national reputation
for truth, honesty and fidelity to his coun
try. In his death wc have sustained the
loss of a good, honest man; an upright,
worthy citizen; an able, conscientious,
experienced and faithful journalist. We
deplore the loss of one whose sagacity aud
political foresight has been of such ines
timable worth to our State and beloved
South. Colonel Christy leaves behind to
mourn his loss, a wife and a large family
of children. To them, we extend our
deepest sympathies.
Local Brevities.
Rev. J. W. Baker will preach in the
Methodist Church next Sunday.
Some festive citizens of Washington,
Wilkes County, spend Sunday in cock
fighting.
Yesterday there were a large number of
people iu town. It was a quiet Salesday—
no sales—except drinks.
Fifteen hundred bales of cotton were
shipped down the river to Augusta this
season from Parks’ Ferry. We will give
a tabular statement of the number of bales
shipped from all points in the County in a
short time.
Columbus is excited over the exhibi
tion of a white robin killed by a lad near
that city. The breast of the bird was
slightly red and the head black, the body
pure white. This is a parallel case with
the white crow that was killed in our
County some time ago. Speaking of white
icrows, Waites J’roffit brought another
white Crow into our office the other day.
In former days the ravens shared food with
the prophet, but in these latter days the
Crow and the Proffit sip out of the same
bottle.

PcrWOHNt.
Rev. W. T. Norman dropped into our
sanctum yesterday. We were glad to see
him looking so well, notwithstanding his
removal from so healthy a clime ns ours.
We had the pleasure of a friendly call
from Dr. .1. 11. Parker, of Parker's Store.
He is a very genial gentleman, and shows
his appreciation of home institutions by
subscribing to his County paper.
Messrs. Baldwin and Holland, the less,
arrived in town last night. They go to
Carnesville this morning, but will remain
over in Hartwell Sunday. W. V. Holland
represents J. W. Goldsmith, Grocer and
Commission Merchant, and the Meador
Bros., Wholesale Dealers in Tobacco and
Cigars. The visits of these gentlemen are
as sweet as hduey on pound-cake.
A Live ItiiMincsN Man.
Tt would seem from the advertising col
umns of the Elberton Gazette , that Dr.
Edmunds intends running a town within
himself. Being a physician, he can admin
ister the pills; feed you at his hotel; sup
ply your wants in family groceries ; clothe
you in his tailoring establishment; repair
your leaking tinware ; sell you drugs ; take
your picture; keeps a livery stable, and
can shoe your horse at his blacksmith shop,
lie only needs a couple of lawyers, a
preacher and a bar-room to complete a
one-horse town. The Doctor has done
more to improve and build up Elberton
than any man in it. He says anything you
want that he hasn’t got he will make it for
you. All right. Doctor—make us a little
advertisment. It would he mutually ben
eficial. “ A word to the wise. &o.”
A Mistake.
Last week, we received a postal card
asking us to announce the marriage of Mr.
George Brown and Miss Nannie Holbrook,
signed " the friends.” After publication,
we received another card, with no signa
ture, stating that the marriage was a fiction.
We would advise the person to be more
careful in the future, as the parties inter
ested could bring a heavy lawsuit against
him. Hereafter, the full signature must
accompany communications to insure pub
lication. This is for a guarantee of good
faith. We are very sorry that the mistake
was made, but wc were not to blame.
The Sow Town Ball nt Ayer.
This elegant structure is now complete.
In beauty of design it surpasses anything
of its kind in the State. Constructed of
brick and dark marble it is as permanent
as it is charming. The English architects
have adorned it in subdued colors, which
please without tiring the eye. Dr. J. C.
Ayer built and gave it to the town in ac
knowledgment of the distinction they con
ferred upon him in taking his name. Al
though it is a generous gift, still the hearty
good wishes of a whole people are of greater
value, and the generous donor has doubt
less secured them .-Groton (Mass.) Journal.

such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Boschee’s German Syrup for
severe Goughs, Colds settled on the breast.
