docket again to-morro t.
The following resolutions were
presented by Judge Pllsbury and
unanimously adopted.
“The members of tbe bar of
Amerlcus feel that in the manner
Judge W. F. Jennings has pre
sided over Sumter Superior court
the present week, that the univer
sal commendations from all sources
are of such a nature that they deem
it right and proper as an able, capa
ble and dignified Judge to give
some public expression of their
views.
“Therefore, be it resolved, That
in Judge W. F. Jenkins, tbe Oc-
mulgee circuit has one whom tbe
judicial ermine well and truly be
comes.
“Resolved, That his courtesy, his
wise, clear rulings have our ad
miration, and In whom we feel that
the Superior court's of bis circuit
have one that they should be proud
of, and who so eminently Alls the
position of judge.
“Resolved, That his dispatch
of business have received our hear
ty admiration, aud bis easy, Arm
and pleasant manner lias endear
ed him to this bar and people.
‘Resolved, That In the absence
of Judge i'ort, we thank bim in
devoting his time In holding our
Superior court tbe present week,
and wish him a bright future and a
lmppy return to his people.”

Yesterday the officers received
knowledge of a number of negroes
being engaged in gambling at Tom
Mitchell’s, nearly opposite tbe Al
len House.
Messrs. Feagau, Ray and Martin
Immediately repaired to the place,
and made a raid upon ths den. Six
or seven were found engaged in
playing, but on the appearance of
the officers, all ran and escaped
but two, Ranee Turner, an old of
fender, and Alien West.
West was tried before Judge
Pllsbury, and bound over under a
hundred dollar bond, or s-nteueed
to 12 months in chali: gang. .
The others are known, aud will
doubtless be esugbt soon.
The Biro Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon just before
six tbe Are bell rung out In loud
peals, and the people turned out
for the scene of conflagration. But
only a few reached ft.
Tbe Are was out at Leeton, one
of J. E. Bivins’ out houses burning
to the ground. It was occupied by
the family of Mr. Bivins’ cook.
The P. C. Clegg hose company,
composed of young boys, was the
first on tbo grounds and did good
work, but tbe Are bad too much
headway to be stayed. The boys
did excellent work iu getting out,
and Amerlcus is proud of her boy
company.

A Big Advertisement.
It Is hardly necessary to call at
tention to the big advertisement of
John R. Shaw, for yon could not
well pass it by. Its chief merit,
however, ie not in Its size, bnt In
the foot that it contains facts of
Importance to every reader. It la a
truthful presentation of plain facts,
and those who study It well will
And it to their profit. Mr. Shaw Is
a successful business man, and he
knowe that it does not pay to ad
vertise imposslbilltlss or attempt
to deceive his customers. He there*
fore plainly says what he will do,
and then does It.
Little Mardre will open the finest

A few days since Thb Recorder
mentioned a party who left for
Bolling Qreeu, Ky., to inspect
some of the Georgia Hedge and
Wire Fenoe company’s work. In the
party were Messrs. H. H. Single
tary, LaCrosse; A. 8. Perry, Ameri
cas; J. C. Carter, Amerlcus; I. N.
Mott, LsCrosse; J. F. Usry, Ameri-
cus; S. R. Christie, Dawson.
These gentlemen returned yester
day, and speak iu the highest terms
of the work done. Tbe excursion
to Bolling Greeu was gotten up by
Dr. W. G. Patrick, agent for the
Comptuy, and all the expeuses ot
the parly were paid by him for the
Company.
Dr. Patrick during his stay in
Amerlcus has made many friends
and is a gentleman whom ail like.
He does his work well, and has
met with great success in this sec
tion.
Here is a card offered by those
who took tbe trip:
We, oitizens aud farmers of
Schley, Terrell and Sumter coun
ties, having been invited' by tbe
Georgia Hedge and Wire Fence
Company, through their agent, W.
G. Patrick, to iuspeut the hedge
fence grown and completed by said
company, under their patent sys
tem, near Bolling Green, Ky , have
made a careful inspection of the
same and unhesitatingly pronounce
them to be good fences. They are
ptrougand so compact, if properly
set and cared for, as to protect
against all classes of stock, both
large and small.
By tills system of dwarfing tbe
plant tbe lateral roots are cut and
crops grow as luxuriantly near tbe
fence as any where in the Held, as
they do not spread or sap the soil.
We inspected several miles of
fence set iu 1864, now 0 or 7 years
old, aud while some of us were not
very friendly to the Hedge fence
system, we can but say we found
nothlug to condemn. From the
best information obtainable tbe
cost of priming aud keeping the
fence In good condition is very tri
vial, and wo were told that a mile
could be trimmed with ease in a
day by one man.
Owners of fences inspected by us
speak of them in tbe highest terms.

Before tbe fragranoe and tba bloom
Of firlbood /ears bad paeeeJ atrby
Whlie yet without One spat of gloom
Llfe*i sunshines o i her pathway lay;
Ere h1 a bad atalnedor eorrow could blight
‘fhe br'gbt love beaming from those
brown eyes ,
There came an angel In tbe night
And bore her spirit to the skies.
Dead: Tbla word ao abort and plain
*But O, the anguish it does contain,
From ear to ear tbe meaaage darts
To pierce with gr»ef each loving heart.
We wept and prayed through all the night
And prayed for help, for hope and light,
Forour poor hearts clung to that clay
Ho dear, so bright, soon to be laid away.
O melancholy and sad Is the thought,
Horrow. mingled with ttie sun’s bright
It waa the emblem of her life so pure, so
brief,
Whlqji brings into reulity such great grief
But the crown of sovereign beauty
Henceforth We bid tbe wear
a one of Ufe’a trials and troubles to bear.
A Jewel, loo bright tor earth, to Heaven
was taken;
Transplanted, we are aure we are not
iLiuUken;
For she tbla confession did make,
That Jesus to Hoaveu h»r aoul would
take.
It *’i:l not be long before we hope to meet
her,
An 1 with embraces she will greet us,
For she Is waiting for us over there.
Then let ns work aud prey with most dil
igent care.
Wherefore when death bad taken
All that we possessed of her,
And IIeav*n'claimed her soul forever
To be n shining augel there;
From off the stein ot a ssreet flower
Her lover bad plucked a tiny spray,
And on her bosom saw It gently laid,
A token of bis pure love on her dying
day.
Iu Ihose giaccful Angers so pure
Another tiny token, aud the much prized
ring,’
That ho had given to make the promise
sure.
And thus their happiness was blighted
Jiy death’* unsparing Land.
In that cold silent tomb wo laid her
With the dust to mingle in darkness and
decay,
But we will meet our loved one in the
eternal day.

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record refutes the suggestion made
iu some quarters that town building
in the South has gone as far as it
can with safety. Take Georgia
With 58,000 square miles, popula
tion of 1,834,366, and population per
square mile 31.63; South Carolina
has 31,000 square miles, 1,147,161
people, and an average of 33.47.
But Massachusetts has a popula
tion of 286 per square mile, New
York 157, and Rhode Island 204,
The population of Pennsylvania la
6,24S,574, wliieli gives a density of
114 persons to each square mile. If
each Southern state was peopled
us densely ax Pennsylvania, the
South would 'have eighty-eight
million people. Georgia would
have six million. Iu tne past ten
pears Georgia has increased about
800,000 people. The Manufactur
ers’ Record compares Georgia with
Illinois. Illinois has 3,818,536 peo
ple and 55,414 iduare miles. Upon
this basis of density Georgia should
have a population of nearly four
million. So far as natural resourc
es are concerned there Is no com
parison between the possibilities of
the two states, for while Illinois
yields but little agricultural pro
ducts, Georgia has boundless min
eral resources with which to supple
ment her plantations and forests.
Georgia has within her own bor
ders all that Is required to auitain
industries like those of Illinois.
The population of Augusts, Savan
nah, Macon, Atlanta and Colum
bus might be doubled or trebled,
and made to equal Chicago, Spring-
field, Joliet, Roekford and Pfeorls,
and yet leave them modest citlaa
like them might be built without
presuming upon the resources of
our State.

Iler sweet mu.in no more on esrth we'll

The organ that responded so willingly

Seems rooed In the same gloomy sad nets.
For death has hushed that voice of glad

And veiled that sweet, smiling fsce
Which leaves nothing but silence snd an
empty space
Whose dear presence filled Its home with
light
With a soul whose beauty made the future
bright.
We kissed our darling's cold fee.
And held her In a last embrace;
Down In her low and narrow bed
She sleep, among the quiet dead.
The spot where now out darling lies
Is very dear to our snd her loved onee
eyes.
