ErasT ZPOEsTTS. “O, where is my darling hoy lo-nighl?" Bings a poet In plaintive song. We're not qnite certain that we're right, And may be we might be wrong: But we truly believe that the boy is out lets Because he is swinging on somebody's gate. Somebody's gate—ah, well do we know What the joys of that pastime are ! We’ll never forget—'tis years ago Since we swung on that wooden bar; Nor did we euspeot that the hand of fate Was outstretched when swinging on somebody's gate. The old, old story, but over new— Her futber appeared on the scene, His looks were wet with the falling dew, He looked like a monster marine, And the hnll dog—oh, we can never re late Wbet happened when awingiug ou some body's gate. Don't worry about your boy to-night, Or sigh out your soullet in rhyme, For the chances are, if he isn't tight, He'll havo a jolly good time, For he won't go astray, though he staya out late, As long ns he's swinging on somebody's gate.

Conmiercinl vn. Flint. The Flint base ball club, of Oglethorpe, came down Thursday noon to play the Commercials the return game. Jack Cleyhorn is Cuptain of the club, and he is a lit game, and gave very impartial decisions. At 4 o'clock the game was called, the Commercials losing the loss and going to the bat, scoring six runs. They gave the Flints a goose egg, and them piled up five more. The rest of tbe innings wero of tho same character, the Flints occasion ally making one or two runs. The Bcorc at the end of eight innings was 32 to 8 iu favor of the home boys. In the fourth inning Capt. Storey was struck between the left eye and nose by a foul ball while batting which disabled him. The Flints withdrew one man, and tho game continued with eight men on each side. Hawkins did some fine catching and throwing, and the whole nino worked well. There is splendid material in the Commercial club, and considering the amount of practice, they have played well.

DEATH SENTENCE Prououuoeil upon the Negro Rapist la Terrell County. Dawson, August 2.—Tho special term of the Superior Court was held here on last Thursday for the trial of the negro George Jones on the charge of rape. The court was in session tho greater part of the afternoon, and adjourned about candle light. It was a most impar tial trial and the best counsel was granted the criminal. Hon. Ar thur Ueod and Capt. K. F. Sim rnons, two of the foremost lawyers of this section, defended the pris oner by order of the court. The Judge, John T. Clarke, in Ills charge to the grand jury, compli mented in happy words the people of Terrell county, who bad acted wisely, soberly and righteously in this matter, in evidencing their loyalty to good order by patiently waiting upon tbc action of their court. Tlie jury was out not moro than flvo minutes, bringing in verdict of “guilty,” and they could do no more than that, for the evi dence of the guilt of the prisoner was overwhelming. The negro, George Jones, was sentenced to be publicly hung on Monday, the 25th day of next August, between the hours of 10 o’clock, a. m. and -1 o’clock p. m. The Judge in sen fencing the prisoner showed f most kindly and Christian disposi tion and urged upon him tho ncces sity in these last moments of bis lifo to trust in tho Savior. Tho expenses oonnectcd with this trial, that hardly lasted over four hours, will reach at the lowest estimate two hundred and twenty-five dol lars. W. K. P. To tlicLudies.
