FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1875.
There used to be an interest
ing correspondence in the papers, ev
ery month, between Joe Brown and
the State treasurer, in relation to the
payment of $26,000 into the treasury
by the State Hoad lessees. But that
thing has stopped now, and we can
but wonder if the payments have also
stopped.

Who is Jle?—Gov. Smith offers
a reward of SSOO for the person or
persons who lately fired the gin
house of Jefferson Edwards, in Ran
dolph county. As innumerable gin
houses have been burnt in Georgia
by incendiaries, without eliciting any
offer of rewards, we rise to ask,
Who it Jefferson Ed wards, that he
should receive such distinction?
A Useful Man.—W. I). Smith,
■whose card appears in this issue, is a
useful colored man and good, indus
trious citizen. Besides being a good
house and sign painter, as somo of
the best work in Columbus attests,
he can fix your old umbrellas and
parasols a* good as ever. Ilis terms
are quite reasonable. If you want
any painting done, or have any old
umbrellas or parasols to mend, go
and see Bill about it. Ilis shop is
opposite the market-house.

himself hired a boy to do the deed.

Three Questions.
Valley Plains, Ga., )
June 6, 1875. j
En. Visitor.—T send you the fol
lowing three questions, which I ask
myself every day. Perhaps they
may be of some benefit to your read
ers
Ist. What am I? I run one of
God’s creatures, endowed with supe
rior faculties to those possessed by
the fishes of the sea, the beasts on
the earth and the birds in the air.
Those faculties are given me f<>r the
glory of God, and for the good of my
fellow creatures. I have a body,
which, I know wil\ in a little time,
moulder in the, dust from which if
sprung, and I have a soul which will j
live forever in happiness or misery.
2d. Where am I? In a world
wherein there is much sin and sorrow,
in which God has placed me for a
short time. This world is passing
away; my days are short; I mu-t
soon die; I know not when.
3d. Whither am I going? I am
going to happiness or to misery; to
heaven, or to hell. If lam trending
the way of evil and sin, and scorning
the promises < f Jesus, I shall perish.
If I am taught of God to sue for par
don and grace—if I have the gift of
faith to cling to the cross of the Re
deemer, and depend on Him, and
Him only, I shall live forever.
W bat a glorious thought to know’
that when I leave this w icked world,
I am going to an eternal home of
happiness and joy. If I at.: living in
sin, I am going to that of misery and
woe; If I live to Christ, I am going
to heaven. That is whither I am
going.
I think it wad! to ask these three
questions. What am I? Where am
I? Whither am I going? M.
Did’nt, Get Him.
F.d. Visitor: —Tlio incident I am
about to relate occurred somewhere
between here and Waverly Hall. A
bailiff went out from town lo arrest a
party who had just been turned out
of jail, lie went down to Waverly
Hall to got the warrant, which had
been left there, and on his return met
the party, when tlio following dia
logue took place:
Bailiff—“ Sir, consider yourself ar
rested, and you will have to go back
to town with mo.”
Party—“No, sir.” At the same
time presenting a shot-gun, and point
ing to two new and shining caps,
ho continued: “Do you see these?
If you attempt to get out of that
buggy, i will cause you to tumble
out faster than you like.”
Another gentleman, who was ac
companying the bailiff ns a “posse
comitates ,” had by this time realized
the situation, and suggested to the
party that he (tlio posse comitatus)
had nothing to do with the matter.
Wherenpon the party observed that
ho had better sit still himself, which
they both did, snvo a little shaking
they could riot help.
This was all unexpected to the bai
liff. ]fo knew’ not w hat to do, till
the party ordered him to drive
around, which lio did; and then ho
further ordered him to drive on to
town, which he did very submissively,
nil the way musing to himsolf that
the life of a bailiff was an eventful
one.
It may bo interesting to stato that
neither bailiff nor party has been
seen since.
