Special to the News. '
Thom ASTON, Ga., Jan. 17__There
was a serious accident on the Upson
County Railroad (better known as
the Thomaston Branch) Iasi night,
which only by a miracle escaped in
voicing a serious loss of life. About
half pasi five o'clock ihe train had
reached within lour miles of Thomas
ton when a rail broke, caused by the
giving away of a rot ton cross tie.
The engine kept on the track, but
the two coaches ran across the ties
for some fifty feet, when the rear
coach broke away and rolled down a
fifteen loot embankment, the other
car stopping where it was. ^1’he
lights were extinguished in the upset
car and for once the deadly car stove
failed to get in its work, for though
red hot the stove door staid shut and
no fire was communicated. The pas
sengers consisted of Col, F. D Dis
muke, John F. Stilweli and David
H. Johnson, of Griffin, Sol. Gen. E.
Womack, o' Covington, Col. R. W.
Patterson, of Macon, and two or three
negroes. The most serious injury
was to Mr. Johnson, who had his
collar bone broken and is now laid
up in Thomaston. Col. Patterson
was pinned down by the coal box,
which had a number of extra coup
lers in it, and was quite bruised up,
but left for home this morning. Col,
Dismuke and Mr. Stilweli fell on
top of each other and escaped serious
injury, leaving for Griffin this morn
ing. The negroes were not hurt.
The train carried off passengers in
a box car this morning.

3d, 1825, and mar/ied December
23d, 1841. At the time of her death
she was sixty three and a half years
of age and tho mother of fourteen
children, nine of which are now liy
ing and were present at the funeral
The funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. W. Goddard from John xiv
chapter, 1st, 2d and 3d verses. The
fuueral was attended by a large con
gregation.

General Order No. 1,
The Grantland Club, although it
makes no pretenses that way, is very
literary and very refining in its in¬
fluences, as one instancy will signal
ly prove.
It has always been known that it
was an aristocratic institution, never
having a servant of less rank than a
general to wait on I he colonels who
love to congregate there. Its first
boy was General G. Washington,
called G. Wash for short; but he
failed to improve with time, and re
cenlly he has been supplanted by a
double combination of General
Bragg *at»d General Washington,
calling himself Bragg Washington.
Gen, Bragg’s first procedure was to
put up in a conspicuous place in
each room the tollowing gene -, al or
der:

It is needless to say that this order
is strictly observed.

a woman feels worth little if disease has

the complaint and builds up the system.

A New Leaf.
Know, boys, it is well on to the
new year, so kum all hands and the
cook and let’s turn a new leaf this
year: make new resolutions and car
ry them out better than wc did last
year; retrench expenses and live
cheaper and go in debt less than we
did in ’87. It will be krap-time now
and if we dont mind we will be be
hind as usual in getieg our lands
ready. Let’s buy less Joano this
time and make a li'tle mo’compos
and see if we dont’ have mo money
at crismas—if we dont 1 make quite
as many bales cotton as nabur Jones.
Nearly all the cross road propbits
am a figurin on the old twlvc days
to see if they cant figer out a krap
that way but dont think that rule
will work—not half so well as figu
rin up the dirt with a good sharp
plow from the time “old Sol” shows
his bomy visage in the morning ’till
he withdraws his last rays in the
evening. A little less gwine to
town, to the country store, and to
kourt and a little closer attention at
home and I think we will show up
better results next fall So I say kura
along boys and gel about it in red
eyed earnest. Josh,

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
HOW TO AVOID THE PITFALLS OF
* LEAP YEAR. *
Stand Your Ground and Form Protect¬
ive Alliances and Insurance
Companies.
The Detroit Free Press offers the
following advice to its unmarried
nn.’e readers, and as it does not seem
to be copyrighted we commend tho
article to the careful consideration of
the sain3 class here. Let your mot
to be
Remember the fate of Geo. B. White,
The first who fell in the cruel fight,
and prepare for tho twelve mouths
vraf.
The Free Press says it is very gen
orally admitted that this is leap year.
The authorities are not at variance
on this point, and if they were, the
fact could be prove! to tho satisfac
tioa of any reasonable mind by re
ferring to aDy respectable calender
or by tho simple method of dividing
the figures 1888 by tour and show
ing that there is no remainder.
When tbe planets are right in their
courses and tho division mentioned
leaves no remainder, the year is al
most invariably leap year. This be
iDg the fact, tho young man must £6
rionsly face the question, what is he
going to do about it? Tho young
man is undoubtedly in a position of
extreme delicacy. Custoq has ruled
that daring leap year i> young lady
may reverse the natural order of
things, and ask the blushiDg young
trniu for his hand and heart. Of
coarse he may refuse, as young ladies
themselves have been known to do
during the other three years, but the
trouble is that bis refusal, unlike_
hers, carties with it a penalty. He
must present to tbe rejected fair one
a Bilk dress. Thi3 desperate alterna
tive is, in fact, the foundation of the
mathematical method by which leap
year is determined. The young mnD,
like the year, is divided betweeu tbe
choice of two evils, and in either
case there is no remainder in his
pocketbook.
What, thou, is the best thing to
be done under the circumstances?
Some men take to the tall timber on
the first day of January and live a
hermit’s life uuti! the dawning of a
better year. This plan undoubtedly
has its merits. Yet there tue disad
vantages that the prudent young
man won!! do well to weigh. There
is a certain air of cowardice about it
that is re ongriant- to the feelings of
the average young man. And then
again it has its dangers. Supposing
the detcrml' *'! young woman fol
lows him! Ho then finds himself on
protected in the wilderness. There
is no help for him. Tho resour.es
of civilization are not there. In the
city if he is tun down he cun at least
call a policeman. He may have the
assistance of his fellowmen, and if
he canpot that, he at least has their
sympathy. So, taking it all in all,
it is better to betr tho evi's that we
have, than liy to others that w<- know
not of
Tbe be*, ter plan seems to be that
the young man should s'and his
ground. 1? disaster is to come, it is
better lo meet it bravely than to run
away from it. A young tnt.i a .^uid
be very careful ol the company he
keeps du ing the present year. Al
though be may miss much harmless
enjoyment by doing so, it is Lest to
refuse all invitations to go out riding*
or to the opera, or to parties, unless
he has a chaperone with him. It is
well to seek the company o? young
men and avoid being found alone.
Statistics show ns that the young wo
mau rarely proposes to a young man
udIcss she happeus to find him
alone. The census of 1880 gives
such cases as only one and a half
per ceDt, of the marriageable portion
of the young meu of this country-
This percentage is so small that it re

deell-ita
dttce3 the risk to a point that is hard
ly worth considering as a real dan
ger. Tho plan we suggest ts this:
Let two or three young men band
together and resolve never lo let one
of the number be fonud alone and nn
protected. Let thu union be adhered
to throughout the year, care being
taken not to relax the vigilance a
the first days of 1889 approach. Tho
real danger comes when all danger
appears to be over. Recurring once
more to the useful aud complete cen
sus of 1880, it is shown that moie
unfortunate young men are loped in
on Ihe 31st day of December in leap
years than on all tho other days of
those years put together. This
shows the great evil of jubilant over
confidence that a danger is past,
when it is really present in its most
virulent form.
The plan adopted in some of the
larger cities of a Leap Year Insur
ance club (mutual) is uot a bad one.
This is formed to meet and grapple
with tho silk dress difficulty alone.
Thete is a president and secretary,
and the usual number of officers and
committees. There are small week
ly assessments, which form a fund,
and from this fund is drawn tbe ex
penso of tbe silk dress when any of
the members fail a vie im. It is trne
that in Chicago glaring frauds oc
currod last leap year (sen govern
ment insurance lepert for 1884, page
173), by which unscrupulous mem
bers rang in silk dresses for most
of their female relatives. Still, such
frauds will be guarded against as
much as possible by the iuvestigat
ing committees. At the beginning
of the next year tho club has a big
dinner out of what is left of the fund?,
and they then dissolve for
years.
Thoro is no doubt but the govern
ment ought to provide , dome protec
,. tion for . during , • , leap
