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 •'The most troublesome oompauiu a person can have while being away from home, is a cough, and I would advise everybody Syrnp to before to procure starting," Dr. Drum¬ Bull's Gough mer.

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. “Mid pleasures ami j alacea though we may roam bo it ever eo bumble, •’ there’s no specific for paiu like Halva tion Oil.

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. The worst featuro about catarrh is its dan¬ gerous tendency to consuptian. Hood’s Sar sapafiilla cures catarrh by purifying th# blood. 3. An exchange tells of a Bchoolma’am wlin has introduced a novel system of spelling in her school. When one of tbe girls misses a word the boy who spells it correctly is per¬ mitted to kiss the girl. The boys are im¬ proving, but it is feared the girls will soon forget how to spell their own names.
