bland. Judge Wilev Howard, of Jefferson,
brought his beard and genial smile up to court.
He has to come up to Gainesville once in a

the Jefferson folks how it will sound when
the new railroad comes.”

Jack Gilleland was heard to bemourn the
fact that he had lost two valuable days at
tending the sale, and had only bought six old
hens.
Judging from the anxiety of the crowd to
buy feather beds, we are of the opinion that
everybody In Jackson county wants one and
but few have them.

young roan mule for “ Coon” Daniel to plow

Letter from Maysville.
Mr. Editor: —From some cause, we have
failed to notice any communications from
this part of Jackson county for quite a long
time. Your correspondents from this locali
ty have certainty been very busily engaged.
We trust, however, that as the busy season
is gradually passing off, they will have more
time to devote in detailing the news.
Our village is rapidly improving. New
buildings arc going up in all directions, which
very forcibly illustrates the thrift and enter
prise of this community. I know of noplace
presenting more favorable inducements to
those desiring to obtain school advantages
for their children, healthy climate, or railroad
conveniences.
We have here the manufacturing interests
represented as follows: Leather of all de
scriptions made by Atkins, Carr & Cos. Col
lars, saddles and harness by Atkins & Dead
wyler. Boots and shoes by G. W. Brown.
Wagons of all kind by J. M. Howard & Cos.
Plows and farming utensils by Wallace &
Howard. All such institutions speak well
for a place, an 1 though they may be consid
ered only in their infancy at present, they
will increase and become more fully devel
oped as the wants of the people demand.
We also have a here unsur
passed by any for morality. This was proven
by being among the first to banish the sale
of ardent spirits within the District limits.
We are proud to see that other parts of the
county are doing likewise. And at this point
it may be appropriate to mention the praise
bestowed upon our worthy Ordinary for the
strong position he has taken in favor of the
tempeKince movement, which bids fair to
accomplish so much good in our count3 r .

The engineer corps is now surveying the
route of the Jng Tavern and Gainesville
Railroad. At this writing (Monday the 28th,)
they are encamped at Mr. Brazelton’s, six
miles from the junction of the Gainesville and
Jefferson Railroad. They expect to get to
the Tavern by Wednesday, at which time
there will be a meeting of the stockholders.
Cols, Candler and Redwine are with them,
looking after the interest of the road. The
prospect for the building of the road is good
and the outlook quite favorable. “So let

Grateful Women.
None receive so much benefit, and none
are so profoundly grateful and show such an
interest in recommending Hop Bitters as
women. It is the only remedy peculiarly
adapted to the many ills the sex is almost
universally subject to. Chills and fever, in
digestion or deranged liver, constant or peri
odical sick headaches, weakness in the back
or kidneys, pain in the shoulders and dilfer
ent parts of the body, a feeling of lassitude
aud despondency, arc all readily removed by
these Bitters. — Courant,
The Situation in Washington.
We extract the following from the special
Washington correspondence of the Atlanta
Constitution. It gives a good and succinct
account of what our wise Senators are doing
and the reason why they dou’t get through
and come home.
“ The senate is sullenly sitting day after
day in a deadlock, both sides determined, to
all appearance, not to yield. There have been
some interesting scenes. The public is enter
tained. Even standing room in the galleries
is precious.
The democrats hold much the stronger
position. They conceded the committees to
the republicans without a struggle because
the committes are necessary to the progress
of business. This done they said that it was
proper to proceed with the business for which
the session was called and they made various
efforts to do so. But the republican greed
of office was dominant over all other mo
tives. Nothing would do J>ut to turn out a
few democratic office holders and put in the
list arranged in the Mahonc trade. No
change is necessary, none was ever made in
an executive session. But here for days the
republicans have refused to allow the senate
to proceed with its business because the
democrats will not agree to change the offi
cers without reason and at a very unusual
time. One hundred names lie on the desk
for action. Nominations are sent in every
day. There are vacant positions of all grades,
some of which ought to have been filled a
month ago. Motion after motion to do the
proper business is defeated by the stubborn
republican 37, with their 1 confederate
brigadier and their vice president in the chair.
Yet in the face of these facts old Hoar had
the cheek to get up and declare that the demo
crats were obstructing the business of the
senate and thereby holding to a doctrine which
was the essence of treason. Senator Brown
made Iloar sick of the proposition, showing
that if it were correct the saintly senator
from Massachusetts would be an arch
traitor, for it was he and his party who
clogged the wheels of the senate’s progress.
Mr. Iloar had to explain and explain, again,
but he couldn ot explain away the impres
sion that he had exhibited himself in a
ridiculous attitude.”

• A special dispatch from Sparta to the Au
gusta Evening Ncivs says the neighborhood
about five and a half miles from Sparta is
very much excited over a diabolical outrage
attempted by a j’oung negro of eighteen on
the person of a respectable white girl. On
Wednesday night about 9 o’clock, a party of
over twenty of the best people in the neigh

his neck, carried him out into the woods and
hanged him. Excitement on the subject Is
intense, ami the swift punishment of the crim

In the timber region especially, there is a
continual drain upon the finances of the coun

Horrible Crime.
A NEGRO BOY KILLS IIIS FATHER.
One of the most horrible acts known in tbe
catalogue of crime is patercide. In the olden
time it was punished with the most torturous
death. Even the cities of refuge would not
protect a man who had slain his father. lie
was looked upon as a.hideous monster, to be
gotten out of the way as any other raging
wild beast.
For the honor of our county be it said that
until this week her record has never been
blackened by such a.crime. While there has
beeli undutifnl sons.- in our midst, of both
races, none have ever been so far lost to hu
manity as to even seek the life of a parent.
Tuesday evening there was brought to Lex
ington a negro boy named John Haynes,
whose hands had,just been stained with tbe
life-blood of his father, Aaron Ilaynes.
The prisoner is a diminutive,, copper-col
ored boyq with a frank, open face, large, hon
est eyes, and bears not a stamp of tbe hideous
brute he is. A more, harmless, unoffending
face we never saw.
But those who know him say a more bipod
thirsty 3 T oung demon never existed. From
an infant he has been noted for his stubborn
and most cruel disposition. llis father, who
was an unoffending negro, working on the
place of Mrs. Hunter, near Bowling Green,
had often occasion to correct him, which was
resisted to the extent of the young fiend’s
power. The other hands on the farm, seeing
how John chafed under reproof, teased him
every time he was chastised, which served to
goard him to revenge.
On Tuesday last John’s father again had
occasion to chastise him for some miscon
duct, when he jerked up a rock, and hurling
it with great force at the old man, struck him
a stunning blow behind the ear, knocking
him senseless. It was then that the true
spirit of this young demon came out. With
a bestial cruelty he seized another large
stone, and going to the prostrate body of his
father, deliberately battered his head until
the last spark of life was extinct.
The murderer now awaits trial in our jail,
lie soems to have no conception of the enor
mity of his offense. lie is as placid and se
rene as a spring morning. That the sentence
of death will be passed upon him at April
Court we feel no doubt. Our people are every
day losing control over their minor children.
The modern youth of 16 feels himself more
of a man than one of twenty years ago who
had reached his majority. This applies to
both races.— Oglethorpe Echo.
Says the Walton County Videtle “ Within
the last few months before the first of Janu
ary of this year, about forty-five families left
this county to seek homes in Louisiana and
other States. Various conjectures have been
made as to the cause or causes of this stam
pede. Certainly it is not due to any objec
tion to our climate, which cannot be excelled,
nor yet to our soil, which is abundantly pro
ductive when properly cultivated. It has
been suggested to us by a farmer who has
been investigating the matter, that most of
these families left because they found that
they could not live here and pay such a high
rate of interest on money borrowed to pay
for their yearly supplies. It is probable that
our farmers find it difficult to borrow money
