Shaw, There will bo a very peculiar trial to take place not far from Americus somo day next week It Is a church trial, and the church is located just live miles above Anderson ville. The man to be tried is accused of in, terfering with the will of God. The church is of the Hardshell Bap 1st denomination, and the accused is well-to-do and well kno *n gentleman living at Andersonvllle. The charge preferred against him is putting lightning rods on his house, thus seeking to interfere, as they construe it, with the will of God. Tho gentleman in question is Mr. J. J. Dukes, who lias scores of friends in Americus and all this section. He is man of ability and has made quite a suc cess in farming. Not long since he had a neat homo built, and had it fitted up in a nice and comfortable manner. As is usual, lie had hardly completed his building beforo tho irrepressible light ning rod agent put in liis appearance, and with suave manner and smooth lan guage brought forth the countless reas ons why protection should he sought from tbo electrical elemont. Mr. Dukes finally decided to accept the offer, and soon had tho little steel points reaching out from the tin use Ho lias for yoars been a member in good standing of the Hardshell church just north of his place, and after having the work dono eontlnued to faithfully attend services and perform his duties as a member. His co-workers in tho church, however, viewed with groat concern the heretical performance above mentioned, and many of tho good sis ters and brethren argued with him to have the rods romovod. Tho watchful pastor talked and prayed with the wan derer from his Hock, but all to no pur pose. Mr. Dukes couldn’t sec the harm and tho rods remained, Finally the matter had gone as far as the church, as a body could permit, and a meeting was held to discuss it. They sent committee after committee to the wayward brother, but all to no purposo, and then it was decided to make a test case of the matter. A committee was sent to him a short time since, to inform him that early in May he would be tried by the church for going contrary to tbo doctrine ho professed. That is how the caso stands now. Tho Haidsltells liavo a doctrine of their own, which is different in a great many particulars from that held by other denominations. In this case they bold that the wilt of God lias been interfered with, and thus the brother has done an action for which he must answer to the church. The trial comes up next week, and will doubtless bo interesting. Mr. Dukes is very popular here and is recognized ss a good citizen and man. His many friends will watch the proceedings care fully.

Lott Warre: What's In » Name? On next Tuesday the board of direc tors of the Manufacturing and Improve ment Company will proceed to select by vote a name for the new hotel, which heretofore, for want of a name, has been called the “Semaramis,” the ‘‘Sumter,’ tho “Hotel Americus,” the new hotel, etc., just as the fancy of tho person sug gested. But as the handsome structure con tinues to take Bliapc, and is now nearly a year old, it becomes more apparent that unless a proper namo is authorita tively given it, Bomcbody wilt name it anyhow. Hence tho conclusion of tho board to act on tho matter at an early day. Of coarse it is not the province of the outside public to undertake to tell the hoard what to name it, but it might not be amiss for everybody to have their say in the way of a suggestion, which the board will or will not adopt, just as it happens to strike tbeir fancy. The hotel will be tho pride of the city, and everybody wants it to have the best and the prettiest name that can be de vised, and under the pica that “in tho multitude of counsellor* there is safety" The Timks-Rkcobdxk takes the liberty of suggesting to all who may feel so inclined and especially the ladies, that names for the consideration of the Board might not bo out of order, es pecially as these very amiable gentlemen will not consider it officious, but merely an expression of publio taste, without the purpose to unduly influence them in their seleotlon. There aro scores of ap propriate names; so many in fact, that somo very good ones might bo over looked unless everybody tried tbeir hand at suggesting, and thus place before those gentlemen every sort of namo from which to seleet By making use of these columns, everybody can get their suggestions be foro the eyes of the gentlemen who have to wrestle with the same -problem that confronts tlio ladle* who have babifli .t^ name;-and IfndnS of-*tha'suggested names aro adopted there is no harm dono at least, and everybody will have had the chance to beoom* the successful name giver, If their suggestion should fit the ideas of the Board. Let’s hear from the ladles especially, whose tasto in such matters is un doubted. Americus officers did some neat work yesterday morning, and captured a negro thief who has been wanted for over two years. He goes under tho name of Ozborn Smith, and has the reputation of being a very slick negro. His depredations have been in the country, and many smoke houses in this section have been entered by him iu the past two or three years. He has often been spotted, and several times nearly captured, but eacii time managed to get away. Once an officer returned with his coat, vest and shirt, but tbe negro had slipped out. Yesterday morning the officers found six country hams and a lot of sldo meat at Ilarnott'8 store on Church street. Barnett said he had bought them from a negro that morning. Suspicion was arousod, and Barnett was told to let the officers know if the negro returned, and not to sell tlte goods. Officers Smith and Duncan, with Lieutenant Wheeler, begnn looking out and making invest! gations. They were sure that there must have been stealing done, and just before noon were made sure of the fact. They found an old negro, Randall Glover, who had just come to town in a big hurry and great excitement. Ho stated that while in a field plow Ing, somebody bad gone to his smoke house and cut off the hinges with an axe. The thief then make off with six hams and a lot of side meat. The officers then began hunting for their man, and soon had him located back at Barnett's store. The negro hail escaped so often be fore that they were careful to make sure of him this time. They got Jailor Face, who was in citizen clothes to go straight on down the road. Lieutenant Wheeler and Officers Smith nnd Barrow then went the back way, and closed la on their man. He could show no resistance to such odds, and it didn't take long to have him behind the bars. It was a good capture, neatly done, and rids the surrounding country of great pest IN Catarrh, neuralgia, rheumatism and most diseases originate from impure blood.

Tbo readers of Tub Tihes-Kecubder will remember the account in a recent issue, of tbe burning of Acord's mill, near Helona. The passenger train was due at tho station just at the time the fire was tho hottest, and the burning mill was quite close to the track. Engineer George Nix aaw the fire as the train approached the staUon, and realizing that should he stop, the train would bo In danger, and if be slowed up the cars would bo so blistered as to re quire a fresh coat of paint, he went by at a fast rate. It was a good action on bis part and saved the S., A. ft M. much expense. Even at a fast rate tbe fire was felt, and the baggage-master who stuck out hla head, received a bad blister. A Card.
