He has been running a plantation in Lee county some years for Colonel Max- well, and Tuesday of last week came up on a visit to his parents, after which he left for Snow, in Dooly county, where ho expected to make arrangements to run a plantation for bimeeif. He hod hardly arrived there before lie was taken seriously ill, and before cither of his parents could get there he died. He was a most estimable young*^ao, highly respeoted and muoU-thoughk df, and hia death ia much regretted. He was buried at Snow, Dooly county, Friday last, Railroad Talk. Mr. Perkins, one of the contrac tors on the A. P. & L. road, waa in the KzconDEn office a few daya ago and gave us a few point* about the progress of the road,. The work at this end will be finished by next week, when'sll bands will Join at the other end and .begin -Aha wind up. When the work is completed here twenty-five miles will be grad ed and ready fo? lie*. Mr. Per kins says there will be no' trouble in gett'ng the road ironed and equipped, as tbe greatest difficulty in road building waa getting tbe grading, bridge building and cross tie work done. Ho expects tbo road to bo in operation next spring. 12Jtb* standard Orsnolnted^Snijor $1.00 A Bis Advertisement. On the first pago will be found a large-sized announcement of Mr. S. W. Dickson, proprietor of tbe now clothing honse in Barlow Block. He ia a gentleman of business, and talks business in a business way, as you will see by reading his ad vertisement. He deals in no bom bast, but dishes up the cold facts in a way that cannot fail to give the pubiio confidence in what he says. We know he means what he says, and therefore adviae our read ers to read hie announcement and then give him a call. Fresh Grits 25lbs*$l.OO. H. D. Watts, Major Speer waa bne of the orig inal incorporators of tbe Board of Education, and baa-been an earnest and zealous advocate ol every measure taken by the Board for the advancement of the educational interest of onr oity. Dr. Eldridge has also been a member of the Board of Education ever since and before tbe inaugu ration of onr public school, and has invariably acted in harmony with the Board. They have been regular in attending the meetings and in promptly and cheerfully per forming every duty assigned litem. Mr. Qlover has not been on actual citizen for a long time, but his in- terests have been here; lie has shown himself to be enterprising find publio-spirited. He is also au enthusiastic supporter of public schools. Not one of tho threo gentlemen announced himself as a candidate for the office, and not one of them would consent -to serve until solic lted. Not one of them will enter into any active canvass to secure his election, nor will one of them treat or pay money for vote*. If, however, they are elected, they will discharge conscientiously all the duties of the office. One Who Knows. December 13,1881. Lex and Unwritten Lex. Ma. Editor: It is true Ahat a law authorizing our public - schools was passed in 1875, and • doubtless a system of schools would then have breu in augurated but for the fact that the City Cbuncil was en|oiued by a number of citizens, prominent among whom was Captain C. W. Felder, who was then, and we un derstand now, opposed to public schools. If we do not mistake the identi ty of Lex, at tiiat time lie was city attorney. Why tlid hi not answer the bill and let public education be had in tbe’prosperous city of Americus ? Felder and Cults were both may or of Americus ditriDg the existence of tbo law before it went into oper- ation. During that period neitner administration of Outta or Felder put them in operation. Public schools are now fixtures of Americus, as much so as the earth upon which the oity Is built. Why were not tho voices of the three public benefactors whom Lex” seems to champion, heard, when pnblio schools were ‘innocent embryos,” straggling tor the sun light of truth, where civilization and free government properly placed them. “Lex’s” three champions ruth to tho scene of battle, where the flag of triumph floats amid air. Upon it waves in glowing letters, Public schools a success.” No war now; they como to tbe front I Who doubts that J. C. Roney, . C. Bell and A. T. Oliver, men of honor, charity and intelligence, were at the commencement and ending of the battle, contending for pnblio schools in the city of Americus?

KVMtMU vuuszy. A Lucky Man. Saturday Mr. C. O. Clay won the fine hammerless breech loading shot gun which was raffled off at Chapman’s bar. He bought a throw of forty-five for $25, and when that was tied by Mr. A. T. Oliver he purchased his chance for $10. By winning a few side wagers he ie- duced the cost of tbe gun to $20, which is what it cost him. The gun is worth about $125. Christmas Candy. Mat.
