In your issue of the 27th ult., was an
article written by someone, I know not
who. captioned “ Put on the Brakes,” and
with the signature “.John.” As I said be
fore. I do not know who John is* there arc
so many Johns. Well, John seems to have
some idea about hell, and says, “ What a
vast domain ! tio no further back than
the Christian era.” I would suppose from
that expression that John is a predestinu
rian. knowing thnt a great many of them
have no use Cor the old Scriptures, though
Paul said the Scriptures were profitable,
Vc. John puts two interrogatories; the
first is, “ Where is hell?” and the next is,
“ What is hell?” I have waited to see
whether any one would try fo give John
nn answer, and as none have. I will try.
If John is nn honest seeker after truth and
wishes to know the origin of the word and
where the place is located, if he will get a
small book entitled ” Elliot's Doctrines of
Christianity,” and turn to page 141 and
read the discourse commencing on that
page on future retribution (the text can he
found in 1 Cor., 13 c., 50, 57, 58 vs.), he
will be instructed. If lie can't find the
l>ook. if he will come and see me, I can ac
commodate him. It is much nearer to the
place than a great many imagine, and if he
will try he can go to it in his lifetime and
see for himself, provided lie should live a
a few years. Wm. T. O. Cook.

Southern Watchman.
On Tuesday evening last about dark, our
usually very quiet city was thrown into
considerable excitement by the report that
Mr. Lafayette Maupin had shot himself,
in the nieghborhoou of the Ferro-Lithic
spring. We proceeded to the plaee in com
pany with some friends, and found his
body, surrounded by several policemen
and other citizens, in a little skirt of pine
woods around the cotton field of Mr. E. 11.
Ware, near the Northeastern Railroad de
pot.
A negro man who was ploughing in Mr.
Ware’s corn-field near by, heard the re
port of the pistol, ami knowing it was an
unusual thing for anyone to be shooting
there, went to investigate the matter, and
found Mr. M. lying on the ground in a
pool of blood, with a bullet hole in his
head, just above the right ear. Supposing
him to he dead, he immediately gave the
alarm, and l)rs. Gerdine and W. A. Carl
ton repaired to the spot and found the un
fortunate young man still alive. They
did all they could for him, but in a short
time his spirit took its Hight.
Owing to the absence of coronor W. F.
Hood, Judge S. M. Herrington acted as
Coroner pro tern., and had the body re
moved to the residence of Mr. Walseinan,
where the deceased had been boarding,
and summoned a jury of inquest, with Mr.
(J. S. Swilling as foreman. After hearing
the statements of the physicians and all
the evidence that could be elicited, the
jury returned as their verdict that the de
ceased had come to his death from the ef
fects of a pistol-ball wound in the head, in
dicted by his own hand, while laboring un
der a fit of temporary insanity or mental
depression.
Sir. Maupin came to this city about ten
years since, and was employed by Messrs.
M. G. & J. Cohen as a clerk for a number
of years. Latterty, however, he had been
in business on his own account, and was
doing very well. On Monday night last
his entire stock of goods was consumed by
tire—he having saved nothing but his iron
safe, which contained about &KM> in cash,
llis stock was insured, and on Thursday
he applied for the insurance, we under
stand. was told by the agent that the pay
ment of the loss would be resisted by the
company. It is said that from that time
until his tragic death, he seemed to be labor
ing under mental gloom and despondency,
which must have culminated in temporary
aberration of mind and led to the terrible
deed.
Mr. Maupin was well known in this
community, and was highly esteemed by
all who knew him. He leaves an interest
ing young wife, to whom he had only been
married a few months, and his tragic death
has cast a deep gloom over our entire com
munity.
How to Mniuige n Jury.
Virginia OUy Chronicle.
Presently the stillness of the court-room
•was interrupted by the entrance of a man,
who catne in with a situ 111 in g, uneasy step,
and with his lint in his hand. He halted
and leaned against the railing. Nobody
took the slightest notice of him, however.
At last he took courage and spoke :
“Is the judge in ?”
The clerk immediately awoke his Honor.
“ Well, what do you want?”
“I’m looking for a job, your Honor.
I’ve been looking for work over a month.”
“There’s nothing for you here,”
“ I thought yc occasionally gave jury
men a job. I don’t read newspapers any.
and bein' a stranger in town I haven’t got
any prejudices agin anybody. A pard of
mine tvrotc down to me at Reno, last week,
and said that the jury "business up here
was brisk an’ it would pay to come up.
As I’m a stranger to you and a little hard
up, I’ll start in and serve for a case or two
for naif price an’ you kin see what I kin
do.”
“ What arc your main qualifications?”
“ My strong suit is makin’ a jury agree.
No juries ever get hung if I'm on ’em. I
jest lay low till they take the first ballot,
then jine the majority and argue the rest
into it. I can discount any lawyer talking.
I can show ’em up points they never tum
bled to before. Sometimes I have to use
force, but seldom. Once, down at Truc
kee. in a murder case, there were a couple
of fellers standin’ out agin hangin’, and
after arguin’ with ’em as smooth and gen
tlemanly as I could for over a quarter of
an hour, I went for ’em with chairs, and
by the time I’d busted half a dozen pieces
of furniture over 'em they was glad to
come in with a verdict of 1 Murder in the
first degree,’ and the feller was hung not
long afterward. In these justice courts 1
can get on the jury, and if you’ll give me
a wink as how you want the easo'to'go I'll
guarantee to fetch in the verdict you want,
or not take a cent.”
The man was told to drop around again
in a day or so and they would try and
make a vacancy for him. In order to do it,
however, some’ regular juryman will prob
ably have to be discharged.

The first bale of new Georgia cotton was
roceived from the plantation of Colonel P.
W. Jones, Albany Ga., Aug 3d. It sold
for seventeen and a half cents, and was im
mediately forwarded by express to Flan
j ders ltrothers. of Macon.
Colonel Jones is one of t he most thorough
and successful farmers in the State, and
lias produced and sold the first hale of cot
ton every year since the war, witli one ex

is heavy competition among the farmers of
southern and southwest Georgia for the
prize.
Mr. James Hone, nn old and respected
citizen of this place, died on Saturday last,
and was buried Sunday. He had been in

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock —with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
ellicacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, anti the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnisli convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
