We bail tbe restoration of Democratic micas a return i.o honest government, and economy in the administration. For over twenty years tbe Republican party,by false promistsund broken pledges, deceived tbe American people, and particularly the colored voters of the Southern States, in stigating antagonism between tbe white and colored citizens, when, in fact and truth, tbe whites and colored are voters and citizens ol tbe same genial clime and identi fied by tbe same interests and in dustries, and except as deceived and interfered with by designing politicians and pretended friends, have enjoyed a common peace and prosperity unknown under any sim ilar circumstances. The while and colored democrats of Hie South do not desire to dis turb tbe enfranchised condition ol tlie colored voter, but guarantee in tbo election of Cleveland and lien- dricks prosperity, happiness, ami peace to all white and colored, with full and free equality before tbe law for all, without restrictions or loss of any rights now enjoyed un der tbe constitutions of the United States and Georgia. Wherefore, let ua all rejoice. W. A. Hawkins, II. R. Johnson, C. F. Crisp, J.W. Wheatley, John A. Cobb, Joe. C. Roney, Phil Cook, A. J. Buchanan, E. J. Eld ridge, W. C. Tinsley, S. Montgomery, J. J.

Glover, Late Saturday evening tbe news reached tbe city that * Deputy Sheriff Cobb bad been seriously in jured while arresting a negro, and that Will Fcngin bad shot the negro dead. Nothing definite could be learned until Sunday morning, when the negro, Si Tooke, died in tbe county jail from the effects of bis wounds. Coroner Ouerry im mediately impaneled a Jury, who, after bearing the testimony ol Sheriff Mize and Deputy Ragan, returned the following verdict: “We, the jury, find that the de ceased came to his death from a pistol shot in the hands of W. H. Cobb, deputy sheriff, it being justi- fiiablc homicide.” W. C. Godwin, Foreman. Monday morning a Recorded man visited Mr. Cobb to get tbe circumstances as detailed by him. He was sitting up, with b.s left arm bandaged with splinters. It bad been broken below the elbow by the second btow from tbe negro's gun. He was feeling cheerful, but was suffering severe pain. In answer to our question, be gave tbe following account: “Tooke lived on Bagley's place, at Stewart’s crossiug, and was the tsrror ot the neighborhood. Two warrants were out against him for assault witii intent to murder, one issued last year, and another at the last term of Superior Court for shooting a negro on Neil Ray place.” “Last Saturday afternoon Sheriff Mizr, Ragan, Fagin and myself went out to arrest him. Mize and Ragan went to the front door ot h e home and Fagan and myself toward the back door. He came nut of the back door as Mize op preached tbe fiont, and was watch ing Mize and did not sec us going toward him until ve were within fifty lect ot him, when I ordered him to surrender. lie answered that he would diu before he would be taken. 1 then yelled for all of us to rush on him; that he could not get one o! 11s before we woul get him, and I rushed for him my self and got within six feet of him when I asked bint again to surren dcr. lie said, ‘God d—n you, 1 will kill you,’ and struck at me with bis gun, the blow just grszing my bead as I jumped back, commenced backing from him, and he advanced on mu, raising bisgun and striking again, this time break ing my left arm. I bad a pistol in each band, and fired with the one in my left, trying to disable him. He came again at me with bis gun raised, and I fired with tbe pistol in my right bind, nnd calling lor Fagin to shoot, which lie did. Fa- gin wanted to shoot before, but I told him not to three or tour times as 1 thought wo could get him without. When lie struck me the second time, I knew it wus either him or me. If Ragan or Mize bad fired, there would have been danger of hitting Fagin or mysel 1 '.” “The negro’s ides, as he told his wifo afterwnrds, was to run away from Mize and R igan until he saw us,nnd then he determined to kill us and run. This made the third lime that I had been alter him.” U. B. llarrold, C. H. Wooten, 8 11. Hawkins, Thos. M. Cobb, O. W. Felder, J. 11. Felder, J. B. llinklc, Lott Warren, W. P.

Council’s residence, 5 miles southeast of town. The cotton was cn route for Americus, and the boy, who was aent along to look after the wheels, etc., stiuck a ma'cb «i h which to light iiis pipe,and the fiio was communicated to tbc 1 tail of cotton, and up to 5 o'clic't tbo bands bad bgcn unable to quench the flames. The cotton will prob ably be a total loss. So much for carelessness. Tbe Fair. Of late, on account of the many other means of excitement, nothing has been said abont the Fair. Notwithstanding this fact, tho committee have been working and I should judge from the number of handsome donations reported that they had done their work well, and when displayed in their mag nificent armory during the week beginning on Monday, November 23d, surely it wi 1 win the admir ation of. all, for I could report donations that I know of, had I timo and space, that are sufficient to liken it unto a palace. Next week, however, there will he a full and complete list of all donations published both from abroad and at home, and by the way, I bid in formed that the local committee wi'l begin their work on Monday next, and I certainly hope tb.'our merchants and the public generally will give the Light Infantry their liberal support. Nothing will be lelt undone, I am satisfied, that would tend in any particular to make the week one of perfect en joyment to all who attend. Prof. Cutros’ band will be in attendance during tbe entire week. On tile opening night the Broom Brigade, uniform, wid nresent to the Light Infantry the handsomest fiag in Southwest Georgia. Im mediately thereafter there will be a ball, to which the friends of tbe company will receive nn invitation through the columns of this paper, and every night thereafter during the week dancing will be indulged in from eleven to twelve o’clock.
