,infricos is th.) oonnty seat of Sumter
‘tv Georgia, situated on the Soutli-
;“ ;.Vn railroad, 71 miles southWJ.t of
u w oa, and about 80 miles north of the
Klnii la liue. It is situated in the finest
Loan ot Georgia, raising a greater van-
ie„f agricultural and horticultural pro-
duels than any other part of the South,
combining all the trnits. gram and vege-
tnhipsof ihe temperate and semi-tropical
conea—wheal, com, rye, oals, rice, Irish
mil sweet potatoes, peanuts, chufas,
cotton peas, sugar eanc, apples, pears,
peaches! grapes, plums and other (mils.
The climate is mild and equable, and one
of the most healthy in the world, the mr
being pure and dry and most beneficial lor
lung and throat diseases. All kiuels of
outdoor work can be performed witbont
inconvenience from summer heat or
winter cold. Americus has a population
of 6 OOO, is beautifully situated on high
sn.frolling ground and toasts of some of
ihe handsomest business blocks in the
Smith The city has fine publio schools;
coocl churches; a large public library;
one daily, one semi-weekly and two
weekly newspapers; a new opera house,
completely furnished wiU scenery and
capable of sealing 1.000 persons ; a well
organised fire department, including
two tine steamers; the streets are well
paved, sewered ami lighted; there arc
two flooring nailln, a cottonseed oil mill,
rlacing mill and variety works, carriage
factory, and a number of minor uinnfaclo-
ries; about two hundred firms are engaged
in mercantile business; three banks with
an abundance of capital; two good
hotels furnish good accommodation.
Americus is tho centre of trade for six
comities comprising the richest agricul
tural section in Georgia, the average an
nual cotton receipts being 30,000 bales,
which will be largely increased by the
completion of the l’reston and Lumpkin
railroad now in process of construction.
It is the largest city in Southwest Geor
gia, and has been appropriately named
the "Commercial Capital” of that sec
tion. and it is rapidly growing in popu
lation and wealth. As a place of bit-i
ncus residence it presents attractions
mu ded by few cities in the houtb.
Property of all kinds is comparatively
cheap, although rapidly advancing in
value; tho inhabitants of both city and
conn try are cultivated, courteous and
hospitable, with a cordial welcome to im
migrants. To enterprfsiog tradesmen, ju
dicious capitalists and industrious farm
ers this section of Georgia offers tine op-
poriunities. Any information in regard

Blakely, J*n. 13—About dark
yesterday evening a terrible trag
edy was enacted in this place. A
dispute arose between Judg. J. B.
Jones, ordinary of Early county,
and Mr. R. W. Davis, who clerk*
for Colonel B. H. Robinson, which
finally resulted in Davis shooting
Jones.
All agree that Jones was th.
agressor and was approaching
Davis with an open knife in his
hand. He was warned not to ap
proach on Davis, but he paid no
attention to the warning until
Davis fired two shots in the air,
which stopped him for a minute.
He remarked to Davis that he
(Davis) was a very poor shot, and
again commenced to close in on
Davis, who look better aim and
fired, the ball entering his breast.
Jones advasced a step or so for
ward and fell to tbe ground and
expired.
The coroner’s jury br.ught in a
verdict of justifiable homicide.

President Schuyler Colfax dropped
■lead at 10:35 this afternoon at the
Omaha depot in this city. He ar
rived on the Milwaukee and St.
Paul railroad from the East at 10
a. m., and walked to the Omn.a
depot, a distance of three-fourths
of a mile, with tbe thermometer 30
degrees below zero. After arriving
at the depot, he lived about five
minutes. It is supposed that tbe
extreme cold, the subsequent heat
and over exertion caused a stop
page of the flow of blood to the
heart. The remains were taken in
charge by tbe Odd Fellows, and
now lie in state at Dr. Harrington’s
residence. Word has been sent
the family o( tbe doceased, and
the President has also been notified,
and orders are now awaited.

Gen. Grant's downward career
began when be, the military idol of
his fellowcitizens, entered tbe par
tisan service of the Republicans,
and gave up to the party what was
meant for mankind. As the Exec
utive of tho nation be became tbe
violim of tbe most unscrupulous
baud of political scundrel who
ever fastened tbomselvcs upon an
American administration. Daring
the eight years be presided in the
White House there waa scarcely a
mouth which did not disclose some
deed of rascality on the part of
those whom he called to fill some
of the most important officers in
his gift. One of his private se-
cretaries, now dead, barely escaped
expulsion from tbe army and a cell
in the penitentiary. One cf bis
Cabinet officers was accused of
high crimes amt misdemeanors and
summoned to tbe bar af tbe highest
court known to tbe law. The
name of another one ha* become
the aynonym of all that is bad and
corrupt In a bad and corrupt age.
Even Gen. Grant's own relatives
do not hesitate, in their greed for
money, to bring disgrace and dis
honor to hie name. Grant’s second
administration will live In our his
tory as the most corrupt we ever
had.
