A ilad Choice.
A certain young man of this city
found himself in a very embarrassing
and disagreeable predicament a few
nights ago.
The young man in Question is very
fond of chewing tobacco, in fact the
mastication of the weed is one of his
favorite indulgences. He attended a
social gathering inthis city, and as
the hours sped away, and the cream
of enjoyment was fast passing, he
decided to retire to the silent secl^i
sion of the front veranda and enjoy
a good, wholesome chew of Grave-
ly’s best. When he had gotten under
full headway, something transpired
on the inside that attracted his at¬
tention, and he entered the room
with the tobacco still in his mouth.
In a few minutes expectoration be¬
came necessary, and wishing to hide
the fact of his indulgence of the weed,
he made a break for the front door
just as one of tlie yonng ladies called
upon him to remain. He paid no
heed to the summons, and the young
lady, thinking he was running from
her, gave chase. She caught him
just before he reached the door, turn¬
ed him face-about, and demanded
his return. Tie looked at her a mo¬
ment, smiled, and—down it went!
It is needless to say that lie begged
to be excused pretty soon, and now
wishes he had made a full breast of
ft, even if Bhe was hisbest girl.

The suit was for a horse killed in a
stop gap of the railroad, and the
jury seemed to be of the opinion that
the horse choked itself.

Blanton et. al. was begun and the

A !)fsper«te io Thief i*t
Csniuk
about 8 o’clock, Mr. A. 8 . Rogers,
who sleeps in his store at this place,
discovered a burglar in his place of
business, Helving no weapon he left
hisstore and went to the depot and
got the night operator, Mr. John
Chapman, a young man about twen¬
ty years old anti, Mr. W. B, Verdery,
the conductor ontheM. & A. railroad
and Mr. James Boatwright, engineer
on the same road, to assist him in
capturing the burglar.
They surrounded the store, Mr.
Rogers going to the side door. The
burglar hearing them on the outside,
attempted to go out at the front
door, but was prevented. He then
went out at the side where Mr. Rog¬
ers was. Mr.. Rogers shot at him as
he came out. The burglar returned
the fire, striking Mr. Rogers between
the tenth and eleventh ribs, on the
right side. The ball a 38 calibre
from a double action Smith & Wes¬
son, lodged at the point of the twelfth
rib on the left side.
The burglar then fled, pursued by
Messrs. Chapman and Verdery. Mrs
Chapman overtook him after a short
chase, and, after getting hold of him,
the burglar—a burly negro, weighing
about, one hundred and ninety
pounds, well made and a perfect ath¬
lete, shot at Mr. Chapman,-the ball
passing over his head. The negro
having emptied his pistol threw it
uway.
He gave Mr. Chapman a very severe
blow in the right eye with his fist and
drew his knife, a murderous looking
weapon,Blade three and a half inches
long, which Mr. Chapman, who
weighs about 180 pounds, succeeded
in taking from him and held him
until Mr. Verdery came to his assist¬
ance, when the negro gave up.
Mr. Rogers is probably mortally
hurt. He was taken to the hotel and
medical aid summoned from Warren-
ton. The bullet, was taken from the
wounded man this morning, and he
is resting quietly under the influence
of opiates. The doctors are iu hopes
that the ball in its passage missed
the liver and stomach, although they
have not yet made known what they
think the final result will be. The
negro was sent to Warrenton to jail
this morning.
Some talk of lynching was indulg¬
ed in but better counsel prevailed.
COL MACHEN*
He la not Letting the Grass Grow Un¬
do* .HU H’ttiit.
The Augusta Chronicle pays this
tribute to Col Mnchen:
“Georgia may feel assured that
CoI.E. C. Machen will not lot the
gruss grow under his feet. He is
probably the only living man that
ever recovered his road out of the
hunds of a receiver and completed
it without the loss of a dollar to any
creditor.”
The Chronicle makes the above
utterance in connection with a long
article on the certainty of Col. Machen
building his new road, for which
iron, ties and cars are constantly
being shipped through Macon. The
Chronicle, among other things, suys:
“The Middle Georgia and Atlantic
will be built.”
“At the last session of the Georgia
Legislature Col. Machen, who built
the Covington end Macon road,
from Macon to AtheTfs, qnietly secur¬
ed a charter for the Middle Georgia
and Atlantic, to run from Atlanta to
the < oast. Very soon after the ad¬
journment of the Legislature a large
forv of hands commenced to grade
that portion of the line between
Machen and Eatonton, a distance of
about fifteen miles. That work is
nearly> completed, and when it is
finished the grading will be continued
either from Machen toward Atlanta
or from Eatonton toward deep wa¬
ter.
“The whole line will be finished
without delay.
And It means nn independent
road from Atlanta to the sea. The
mortgage to secure the bondholders
is now being recorded in the different
counties through which the road will
run. It was filed for record in
Waynesboro last week, and will be
recorded in Screven and other coun¬
ties this week.
“The towns through which it runs
ure Machen, Eatonton, Sparta,
Waynesboro and Sylvania.
“Savannah or Port Royal is to be
the termius on the coast. The road
will come within twenty-five miles of
Augusta and, in connection with the
Augusta and West Florida, the West will give
a the competing sea.” line to ana to
The backers of Col. Machen are
mostly Northern men, They say:
“We oan and will furnish you nil the
money you need. We wish the road
finished to Port Royal by 1891.”

Vity.
The following sound
Albany News and Advertiser is of
general application and bears most
iorcibly Upon Griffin's case: *
If one or two important foot successfully enterpris¬
es can be ret on in
Albany every year, this would be¬
come a great industrial section. The
Nows and" Advertiser has done its
utmost to awaken and encourage a
spirit of industrial progress in our
people, believing as we do that it
will ultimate in a very soKd and
steady progress. Let our business
men determine that each year one or"
two important enterprises must be
successfully inaugurated, and if that
purpose is put into practical effect,
Albany’s growth will be most grati¬
fying. Every industry in the com¬
munity seems to be prospering, and
ak these enterprises multiply, import¬ our
views will enlarge and more
ant projects will be taken hold of
with confidence and eagerness by our
businessmen. It is altogether a mis¬
take to suppose that capitalists into
alone successful can execution project and plans carry inau¬
or
gurate important enterprises. The
men of small means in a city really
have more at stake than the money¬
ed men. Capitalists have an in¬
surance of employing their capital
profitably by putting it out at in¬
terest, and really do not feel the need
of creating more business for the
community. The small business
man, whose profits and success de¬
pend upon the volume of trade the
city enjoys, to be divided up among
its tradesmen, are they who are
mostly directly benefitted,and really
who are most concerned in new en¬
terprises. If a merchant, instead of
increasing his business by the addi¬
tion of aS his annual profits to his*
buisness capital, should combine
with his merchant-neighbors and in¬
vest half of his profits in industrial
enterprises each year, he would be
creating business for himself, and
not retire his capital invested from
his business, as banks would always
gladly advance money on the stock
of a paying enterprise, Let our
business men scrutinize the list of
possible industries and take steps
to introduce such as would be adapt¬
ed to this locality.
Death of Mr. J. t. Moore.
Mrs. Carrie Moore, wife of Dr. J. L.
Moore, of this city, died yesterday
afternoon at half past two. From
what we hear of her peaceful pass¬
ing away it could scarcely be called
death, but like a tired child going to
sleep, and her life only carries out
the comparison, for we know that
she will awake bright and refreshed
to enjoy that eternal day, which she
lived only to prepare for, in full com¬
munion with the glorified saints of
the God that she worshipped, and
their Savior.
