' 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.

Sunny Sidk, Jan. 17.—We are surely sorry to announce the death of Mrs. W. M. Smith, who breathed her last on Friday morning last, at half past eleven o’clock. Her funer al took place on Sunday morning in Hampton, at the Primitive Baptist church, of which she was a member. She was a true and devoted wife and mother, loved and respected by all who knew her. She was born July 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.

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.

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 Fresh Groceries! Shrimps.

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.
