A Negro Riot.
Yesterday afternoon officer Cun
ningham arrested a drunken negro,
•od I arted to the station house with
him when another negro attempted
to assist tbe prisoner in making his
escape from the officer. About this
time officer Bowden interfered and
tried to put the other negro under
arrest. They both resisted arrest,
and it was not long before a very
large crowd was around the officers
and they seemed in eminent danger of
being overpowered and their prison
era taken away from them. Had it
not been for the prompt interference
of some of our citizens, serious
trouble might have followed. As it
was, however, the prisoners were
landed safely in the lockup. It was
eatimated that «t least 150 negroes
were present. Both officers display
ed considerable courage in making-
the arrest

Fresh grape Juice has recently been intro
dneed as a beverage in Now York, and
promises to become popular. Grape* are
very plentiful this year, and are offered in
New York as low »« three cents per pound.
The juice can be expressed and sold at five
cents per glass. It is not only very palat¬
able, but has remarkable medicinal proper¬
ties, regulates the system, purifies the
blood, counteracts feverish tendencies and
builds np the system and repairs waste. But
It will never become as popular as the grape
Juice that Mr Haseelkus keeps.
Gorton's Minstrels.
Gorton’s eelebrat.d New Orleans Min¬
strels, an ergunizatkm well and favorably
known throughout the entire country and
bearing an enviable reputation for refined ar
tiatic performances, will appear at Patter¬
son’s Hall on Wednesday evening, October
34th.
This company is an old and thorough.y es
tablishcd one. It was organized at New Or¬
leans, La., in 1867, and in 187(5 J, H. Haverly,
the famous Minstrel Manager, secured the
company on a five year* contract to tour the
country under his direction and in .January
1877 appeared in Griffin as “Haverly’g New
Orleans Minstrels." No doubt they will be
remembered by many who saw them at that
time. The company comes highly endorsed
by some of the best journals in the country
and we have every reason to believe them to
be first class in every particular. Wo take
the fellowing complimentary notice from
the Greensboro, N. C. v Daily Patriot, Sep¬
tember 30th :
“The performance of Gorton’sNewOrleans
M iustrels at Benbow Opera House last even
iug was unusually fine, and a very large and
appreciative audience filled the hall to on
joy the pleasant occasion to the utmost.
The roaring farce without vulgarity, and
the genial, wnolesome fun without offensive
coarseness, combined to form an evenings
bill of fare which the crowd received with
enthusiastic delight, and digested with un
bounded and unrestrained merriment. The
company deservedly rauks as first class iu its
special Hue of entertainment, and attract!
the favor of the better order of the popnla
tion in all the communities which it is now
visiting. A considerable percentage of the
auditory consisted of ladies.”
A Happy Marriage
Invitations have been extended
during last week to tbe marriage ot
two of Griffin’s most popular young
people, Judge II. T. Daniel and Miss
Rosa Beck, which will take place at
the residence ol the bride’s parents,
Col. and Mrs. K. \V. Beck, on East
Broadway,next Tuesday afternoon at
three o’clock. The ceremony will
be performed by Rev. F. M. Daniel
in the presence of about fifty invited
guests, particular friends of the bride
and groom and relatives; and im¬
mediately after its completion Mr.
and Mrs. R. T. Daniel will take the
train for Cincinnati and possibly
other points, being gone about a
week. Upon their return they will
take up their abode at the present
residence of Judge Daniel and his
parents, whore a suite of apartments
has been elegantly furnished by
the groom for their coming.
The interest taken by the many
friends of Judge Daniel and Miss
Beck warrants the giving of these
few particulars in advance of tbe
ceremony which is soon to make
them one; and this interest is well
and deeply founded upon the highest
regard. Miss Beck has reigned tho
undisputed belle ot Griffin, not only
because of her beauty, style and
taste, but because of her bright dispo
sition, tact and brilliant conversation.
Judge Daniel is not only a society
favorite, but a young man of solid
business attainments and of promi
nence aud promise in legal and poll
tical affairs. It will be a happy and
well balanced marriage and one to
which, for once, no objection can bo
found; aud the Nzws, as a mutual
friedd, exteuds now the sauction of
iis blessing.
THE SPELLING BEE.
The Great Amusement.Feature of the
Coming Week.
The great feature in the amusements
of the coming week will be the spelling
bee at Patterson’s Hall on Tuesday
night for the benefit of the Public Libra
ry. There will be fourteen carefully se
lected spellers ou each side, captained
by Col. E. W. Hammond, of Griffin, and
Col. Emmett Womack, of Covington,
the words to be given by that excellent
connoisseur of orthography, Judgo W.
C. Beeks. Webster’s blue back spell
ing book will bo the standard of author
ity, although soma latitude will be al
lowed where thero are two w ays of spell
ing a word. A hard and interesting con
test may be expected unless some of the
expected contestants arc scared out
when the times comes. Other iulerest
ing features of the evening will be cha
rades, recitations, etc., one of the cha
rades “Leap Year” conveying a deep
aud impressive moral to the unmarried
youug men of the community.
The object if next Tuesday’s enter
tainmsnt is a most worthy one, while
the credit of it belongs mainly to two of
Griffin’s most wido awake youug ladies,
Misses Emma _ Johnson , , and Molne Log T>
^ era, Miss JollnBon i8 the librarian and
for tbe past year has kept tbe library up
by ber own pluck ami enterprise, nuaid
ed by a board of directors that never bad
a meeting. Her salary is now in arrears
aud money is badly needed for new
books, coal aud other purposes, aud tbe
public should turn out largely next
Tuesday night and make up tbe deficit.
Admission only 25 cents for a dollar’s
worth of fun, not to mention the onoma
topceical instruction afforded.
There was a rather impromptu spell
ing match at Patterson's Hall ou Friday
uigbtfor tbe benefit of tbe Presbyterian
church that afforded considerable amuse
rnent. Tbe forces were marshaled by
Judge Beeks and Dr. Collier aud tbe
words propounded by Col. Hammond.
Bill Lawson was tbe first to go out, spell
ing “villain’‘ very villaiuonsly as *■ vil
ane. “ Others sat down ou setou, lose,
choosing, losing, syllabus, cylinder,
dactyl, sillabub aud syphon, when a pale,
common looking little Georgia “cym
bug” came along aud knocked all tbe re
maiuiug eoutestauts out of tbe riug, the
judge and tbe doctor fallingignominously
on top of tbe heap. Tbe referee called
a deadfall, pocketed all the prizes, put
bis spelliug book under bis arm aud
went home to prepare for Tuesday’s
logomachy.

Cutting at a Cotton Picking.
Flat Shoals, Ga., Oct. 20.—
[Special.]—Will Terrell had a cotton
picking on Friday night, at which
Bnd Lawrence and a negro fell out
and the negro cut Lawrence across
the back of the neck, inflicting a
wound about three fourths to an inch
deep and three or four inches long.
It is a bad cut and may prove fatal.
