B Johxson A Co., 1009 Main St., GRIFFIN GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY D 1H8» Cutting Affray. At Molina, this county, on Satur day night last was witnessed one of those heartrending scenes, that few few men like to see. The shot gun and the knife were the weapons hau died by men filled with madness. As we get the facts,a difficulty occurred, at Molina Saturday night last be tween Mr. J. W. Gordv and Mr, John Parks. Both parties armed themselves with |their shot guns and were proceeding to do quick work, which was ayeried by the prompt intervention of several par ties. Being disarmed of their guns, they resorted to the pocket knife. Mr. Parks received tWogashes in the back and one in ’he oreast. Mr. Gordy receive J a. cut on the hand. Dr. Steadman, in attempting to part them receive a severe cut on the hand. Mr, John Howard, also had his hand badly cut. Mr. Gordy’s little thirteen year old son, received a painful gash in the shoulder. Our informant thinks that no one was mortally wounded. We have not been aide to learn the cause of the trouble.—[Barnesvlle Gazette.

Watcross, Ga., Fob. 14. The Griffin delegation to the Geor gin State Agricultural Convention left Griffin on the 8:20 train yeeter v*ay morning and arrived at Alba ny, Ga., about 2:30 o’clock p. in. On investigation after our arrival there wo found we would have to wait over there until 11 o’clock last night to get a train to bring us to Waycross. So your humble Bervant and various others that bad fallen in with ns concluded to stay over in Albany and get a night’s sleep and take the morning train that left there at five o’clock this morning. We did so and then got there in time this morning. I will say just here for the information *f your many readers that farmers on the road from Macon down seem to be well up with ibeir work. A great rnasy oats have been sown and are up and looking well, especially from Smitbville to Albany. I saw them plant ng corn in Dougherty county. I saw some oats today that was sown last fall six inches high and some rye that was three feet high. And now for the convention . It is unnsnally large ! y attended. I sup poso there are 350 in attendance The citizens of Wsycrcss are going to entertain the eutire crowd free of expenses during our 6tay here. The Savannah & Jacksonville Rail road has offered the entire conven tion a free excursion over the road to Jacksonville, Fla., und return. There is one of the grandest expo sitiou going on thero of tropical fruits of Florida, the Bahama Islands aod other places that have been ex hibited perhaps on this coalinsnt* I think nearly or quite all of the mem bers of the convention will go. We aro hurrying up business, trying to get through by tomorrow night, and go down (o Jacksonville T. Of day morning. I cannot write all the news even up to this time thit 1 want to write—it would make the communication too long. I will say just here that I was instrumental in having you made an honorary mem ber of our society in Spalding, and you have never attended one of our meetings. If you had, you might have been delegated to this conven tion and been assigned some promi nent position. I see by the pro gramme your brother from Ameri cus is invited to address the conven tion on the subject of “Economy in Farm Labor.” You may look for something rich and racy in my next.

There are two usual ways of doing what Nature sometimes does incomle'ely. namely, to relieve the liowels. One is to swallow a drastic abruptly purgative and with which pain, evacuates the other profusely, to take is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not violent, but sufficient thorough, and which dees not gripe the inte tines. If the first is selected, the pe son employing it need not expeet permanent benefit, and he cannot hope to escape *he dfebilhaing reac¬ tion which leaves the organs a« bad or worse off than before. If, on the other hand, he resorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon the restoration of a regular habir of body, conse quent upon a renewal of healtbfu! tone in intestinal canal. Besides healthfully relax ing the howrls, the Bitters arouses a liver, imparts a beneficial impetus to ;he tion of the kidneys, and counteracts the lv twinge of rheumatism, a tendency gont, and malaria in all its forms. COURT PROCEEDINGS. Tl»e Court Runs Across Some Aberra¬ tions of the Moon on Its Calendar, j The vase of S. E. Iverson vs. Francis Johnson was at last conclud ed yesterday, the plaintiff recovering a verdict lor $90. The criminal docket was then tak en up, and Dan Stallings was found guilty of stealing a white man's corn. gf The case of the State vs. L Aaron Fambro was taken «p. Aaron is an ebony lined darky who was caught by Officer Cunning bam about a month ago while point ing a pistol at a passenger train, but on the approach of the policeman he concealed the weapon in his pocket, and the present charge was that of carrying concealed weapons. The defense was managed by Co!. Thur man and the somewhat novel use ot the pica of temporary insanity gave a spice to the trial and proved sue cessfui with the able and intelligent jury. All ol Aaron’s relatives came forward and swore that from his youth up he was given to fits every lime the moon changed, at which time he was given pistols and othc harmless toys to amuse himself with. Tite moon having changed a night or so befote the amusing occur rence which the officer so ruthlessly iutenupted, Aaron fished his pistol out of the bureau drawer and proceed •J forth to cool his fevered mind—or rather the vacuum where his mind had been, but which which was now filled with moonshine—with a little innocent fun. Colonel J hurrnan made it appear on cro-s examinatun that the minions of the law bad acted in a very dreadful manner by setting a trap to catch the fitified young man in the midst of his childlike diver sions. Another witness testified that Aaron was simply bringing the pis tol to him to make him a little pres ent, or to get a little change while the moon was on the change. Such a clear flood of moonshine was thrown upon the case by these witnesses of dark of the moon countenances that the jnry immediately went out and brought in a verdict of not gnil ty. So that it may hereafter be deemed lawful to carry concealed weapons when the uioon is iu the right phase, and policemen must car ry almanacs to know when to nmt persons on such a charge, And people who have fits by the light of the moon should a s > carry almanacs. For the moon changed three or four days ago. when the prisoner! a been in jail just four weeks, sd 1 the poor and oppressed darkey, not being able to see the fa ded and In././. <d pptotance < f fir Luna aftei the dissipations precud ing Lent, and being deprived of the privileges of an almanac by the cru elty of Sheriff Connell, failed to have his usual fit. It m»y be ar gued that it was no use to have a fit, as there was no pistol und no passeDger iraiu ut which to po;nt it Yet this unexpected and unusual punishment inflicted bv the law would justify Aaron in bringing suit for damage s against the Stale, as it thus deprives him of a great deal of amusement with which bis young life was il ’ed. The it cord once broken, be may never b v tv more fits. What can be more disagreeable, '.vi’h more disgusting, than to sit iu a room a person who is troubled with catarrh, aud lind to keep coughing and clearing his or her throa ol the mucus which drops into it?

The New Tariff Measire to Command General Support. Wahinoton, Feb. 16. [Special. J — An arlent revenue reformer com plained today to Mr. Scott, of tbe Ways and Means Committee, that he thought it strange that it took so long for the Democrats on the com rnittee to prepare the tariff bill. Mr. Scott replied; “Well, I admit that it does seem a long time, but there is reason for it. 1 have been a hard woiking man all my lib-, but I as sun yon that I have done more bard woik in tbe last month than ever be fore. No one Las any idea how much woik ;.s required to perfect a tariff bill. There has not been three nights iu three weeks, that we have not worked until long after midnight, It was 2 o'clock this morning before we got through. What are we do ing. you ask? Why, going over schedule after schedule, comprising page after page. Tbe tariff duties aro tedious, complicated aud im mense. It looks sometimes like we would never get through with the job. What wo are trying to do is to bring iu a bill that will command the cordial support of the country, it is easy enough to make a tariff bill, but tbe thing is to make a tariff bill so fair and just that it will be strong enough of itself, on its own merits b!e provisions, to go through the Boose and Senile and become a law. We are gettiog np a good bii) f aud I tbink it will command the sup part and vote of every Democrat on the floor, if uot a number of Republi cine. There are a number of mem bers scheming to prolong discussion on the tariff until tbe House ie dis heartened, and then rush through a substitute taking only tbe tux off su gar and tobucco. I think these mem bers will be fooled in their object, for I Iu lit vc t'.e bill now being pra pa*ed by the Ways and Means Com mi: o will be eo just and equitable, lb. , all fa:r men will see the ty rut itb passage at. cl give it their eo- 1 support.” * - llooj’* sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself nnd superior to all other preporatkn* strength - ! coinomy, and medicinal merit. f2) •‘ilen’s A-llopm’.” YIm te is in Kentucky an incbiiate r; sy In in where everything (be patient e •* < r .Irt.ks is seas ined with whisky lies Blot!' , it thought, would inspire such disgust for liquor that th© patient, when discharged, would be on’y ;u ■ giad tu drink u;.i ,!!nltd sp: ng water.
