AYho can beat this?— Covington Enterprise.

A colored woman, named Lucy Red, was arrested on Wednesday, at Union Point, and carried to Sharon to undergo an examination for larceny. In May, 1876, Mr. Edward Croak’s store at Sharon was robbed, the guilty parties managing to elude detection until a week or two ago, when Airs. Croak dis covered a sash ribbon, known to have been a part of the stolen goods, eneir cling the waste of a colored woman who was promptly arrested, but proved that she obtained the ribbon from the dainty Lucy.

George AVright, bailiff, and handed over to the sheriff for safe until Judge Pottle shall have an opportunity to interview them upon the subject. I M u ii tlie Boarding the 2:22 o'clock train on Thursday evening, we were soon on our way down the road sweltering with heat and nearly suffocated with the dust and the smoke from the engine. The crops along the road we consider poor, and do not believe more than a two-thirds vield can be realized. trim Arriving at Thomson we left the to exchange greetings and shake the hands of the many friends we met there. Things around Thomson, have a look of leisure, the chief employment seeming to be the exciting game of drafts many champions players of which reside in that burg. Spending i b the evening h and night b among our friends, we boarded the tiam on Friday and made the balance of the trip to Augusta. Here we found dullness almost tangible ; like the darkness of Egypt f it it could , * > be felt. f ]t How ir<uv the the deni- deni zens of that city can bear the excessive heat, intensefled bv brick walls and pave ments.isa problem we did not take time to try to solve, but suppose there must be a ^ ^^he salamander m their compost lU ' At Augusta we met several of our old , friends and patrons, among whom we must not fail to mention Mr. Peter Keenan, whose generous heart beams in every lineaments of his genial counte nance. W e spent a pleasant hour in the sanctum of the Chronicle A Constitution olist, and found the editors, Messrs, ^right and Randall the same genial gentlemen as ever, but too hot to do nuu ‘ h labor- Spending two days amid the heat, and dust and dullness of the cit > > we were glad to get away, and re turn to our own bright little burg, where the perfumed ludened breeze cools the heated brow, and not envying the people of Augusta their brick walls and clouds of dust. Hail Road Accident. A negro hoy, named Colliding, son of Ilitta Thomson, got on the train at the depot on Friday evening, and when just out of the cut and near the crossing ho¬ low the depot, attempted to jump off, the train then being in full motion, and was struck by the platform of tho cars which threw his head violently against a a cross-tic taking off a quantity of wool and tearing up the scalp, the shock also throwing his feet under the train which ran over and crushed his left foot and aidde so as to render amputation at the middle third of the ^ necessary I ho operation was most skillfully performed at 5 o’clock oil Saturday evening by Dr. Dick. Farmer assisted by Dr. A. G. Beazley, Dr. J. W. Kent and Dr. It. J. Ried. The patient is doing well. This accident is the result of a very common habit the boys here (both white and black) have of jumping on and off the ears while they arc In motion. We have called attention to this habit before, but no heed was paid to it, and now comes this dreadful accident. If parents will take no more control over their boys than wc have noticed they have heretofore done in this (dace, they may expect ter¬ rible accidents to happen to them, and they have no one to blame but themselves when some of their darlings are brought home mangled and bleeding. Control your boys, or take the consequences.

R. U. This place Is a first class eetton market, several thousand haled of which, are imrchased here mutually, by the on terpri.sing merchants, and by them trans ported to Union Point, a distance of twelve miles. The town was incorpora by legislative enactment of 1857, since which time the sale of ardent spirits has been prohibited within tlie uicorporut ion. The soil of the place and surrounding country is while, but not sterile, and easy of Cull n at ion. There are here three 1 hurehes, two of which are Baptist, the other Methodist. Of the two Baptist churches, one is white, the other colore,d—the latter living the only colored church within the incorpo rate limits. The edifices of (lie two white churches arc perhaps the haud somesl in the country outside of the cities. It is also the seat of Dawson Institute, named for lion. Win. G. Dawson, and as an institution of learn ing, has been long and favorably known. In addition to the High School just tho colored people have, within the last few years, organized and sustained witli full ranks, a school for the education of their children.
