The uews of the death of Mr. R.
H. Brumby, manager of ihe Daily
Times, was received here yesterday
noon. His death, whic‘> was unex
pected, took place at the home of
his father-in-law, Major Smith,
(“Bill Arp 1 ’) in Carte.sville. Mr.
Brumby came to this city about, six
months ago and assumed the edito
rial ““d busiuess management of
the Times. Being ambitious to
make a success of his work, lie
worked early and late until he be
came worn out by over-exertion.
He then visited Cartersviile for the
puiposeof taking a needed rest,
when he was stricken with fever,
which, in his weak physical condi
tloji, he was unable to resist. As a
writer, Mr. Brumby was terse ami
positive and presented his views
clearly and concisely; as a business
manager, he was ever on the alert
to proyide his patrons with the
latest uews in the mo9t presentable
shape. While nis residence in this
city was short, ho made many
friends who will mourn with his
wife and children in his sudden re
moval from the scenes of an active
and useful life.

J. B. Felder,

Roxey, Ga., July 21.—I thought
that perhaps you would like to have
a few dots from this place aud I
concluded to give you a small ac
count of a reunion of H. J. Dupree's
family, whioh took place,at his son
I. B. Dupree’s laBt Friday. Well,
some of their neighbors joined in
with them and they had a picnic of
It. They had several carcasses
barbecued besides the baskets full
that were carried there. They had
a fine dinner aud all enjoyed them
selves right. There were present on
the occasion about one hundred and
ten or twelve. Among those that
were present I will mention
H. J. Dupree aud lady (who have
been living together as husband aud
wife over fifty years, and on the
same lot of|laud); then comes their
eldest daughter, Mrs. 8. M. Wynn
(widow of the late J, H. Wynn,
one aiyned soldier), aud her three
children, aud her ntne grandchil
dren; then Larkin Dupree and lady
and their eight children, aud their
grandchild; then John II. Dupree
and lady and one child; then O. II
Holley (son-in-law of H. J. Dupree)
and his wife and five children
then J. B. Dupree anti lady aud
their seven children; then John
Tison (son-in-law of H. J. Dupree)
and his wife aud their six children
and then James J. Dupree and lady
and their four children; which
sums up as follows: II. J. Dupree
and lady’s children, seven; four
daughters-in-law; two .ons-in-law
twograuil-sons-in-law; one grand
daughter-iu law; thirty-four grand
children; ten great-grnud-children
total 62. All were present but the
grand-duughter-ln-law and oue
great-grand-child.
As I am giving you dots I inform
you that Judge Williams united all
their children in the holy state of
matrimony, and also three of their
grand-children, aifd one of their
children twice (as one ot their sons
lost his wife and married the second
time.)
‘Well, another little circum
stance happens. H. J. Dupree aud
his lady and A. J. Williams and
bis lady, that is both families, live
on the same lot of laud, No. 101, in
the 25th district, aud A. J. Wil
liams and bis lady have been liv
ing together as husband aud wife
over fiftv-four years. You can give
the above a place iu your valuablo

The other day Sam Epps, colored,
was bathing in Flint river near Al
bany, when he saw a large negro, a
member of tbe railroad bridge gang,
drowning, and being carried down
by tbe eurreut. He plunged in to
save him, when tbe drowning man
grasped him convulsively with
both arms around the neck. Then
commenced a struggle for life on
the part of Epps, who felt that he
would be carried with the drown
ing negro to a watery, grave. For
tunate he managed to grasp a rock
which projected out into the
water, aud,with a Herculean effort,
and by dint of extreme exertion,
managed to retain his hold upon it
and keep bis head above water un
til he »ould be drawn out together
with the half drowued negro, who
was still clinging arouud his neck
with a death like grasp.
Our city is growing rapidly, labor
is iu demand aud well rewarded,aud
our merchants have an increasing
aud profitable business.
We have much to be thankful for,
aud it is proposed that we have a
harvest home thanksgiving in
Amerlcus some time in August, to
which the whole world shall be in
vited, that they may see’the evi
dences of our progress aud prosper
ity and rejoice with us iu the bless
ings which we enjoy.
About that time the corner Btones
of our big hotel and the Alliance
cotton bagging factory will be ready
to be laid, and those ceremonies
might be made a part of the pro
gramme of the day.
Mayor Felder, who Is the origina
tor of this scheme, proposes that a
big barbecue be given at Leeton
Park, aud that the piece de resist
ance be the largest ox whioh can
be procured in the Northwest.
The idea is a capital one, aud all
to whom It was mentioned yester
day were heartily in favor it.
Now let us have a meeting of our
citizens, appoint necessary com
mittees and put the idea Into lmme-
diate execution.

Not True.
Several days ago the Recorder
copied from n Macon paper an ac
count of a cuttiug affray which was
said to hare occurred between Mr.
J. M. Bird, of this county, and his
brother of Jones county, in which
J. M. Bird was said to have been so
severely cut iu the side as to pro
duce paralysis. Mr. Bird was iu
the city yesterday and explained
that he bad been on a visit to his
father’s in Jones county, and was
taken with bilious fever. There A'as
no quarrel between him and his
brother and consequently no cut
ting done. The report arose from a
difficulty which occurred between
two of his nephews, but was not so
serious as was reported. Mr. Bird’s
mauy friends in this section will be
pleased to learn thattbe report was
without foundation, and that be
has almost entirely recovered from
his illness.
Sad Death.
Airs. P. L. Mackey, wife of Mr. P.
L. Mackey, supervisor of the west
ern division of the S. A. M. rail
road, died at the residence of Mr.
M. J. Snyder, on Jackson street in
this city, at half past four o’clock
yesterday afternoon, aged 22 years.
The death of Mrs. Mackey is a
peculiarly sad oue. She was a most
excellent lady, a young wife, pos
sessed with the charms to render
herself and devoted husband com-
pletly happy through the voyage
of life, which they had just begun,
and the provldeuce which takeB her
from him is Indeed hard to recon
cile.
l he only child was taken from
Mr. and Mrs. Mackey last Thurs
day, and much sympathy now goes
out to tlie stricken husband.
Mrs. Mackey came from May-
field, Ky., to join her busbnml here,
and had bean living iu Amerlcus
only two months.
Dead.
Mrs. W. D. Chapman, of Pine
Bluff, Ark., died ot the residence of
her sister, Mrs. J. \V. Colson, in
this city, at ten o’clock last night,
after a lingering Illness since last
December. Mrs. Chapman was
formerly Miss Nora Cotney, having
been married seven years ago, when
she went to Arkansas. She leaves
a husband and a large number of
relatives to mourn her loss.

They Had Met Before.
Chicago Tribuno.
“Now, sir," began the attorney
for the defense, knitting bis brows,
aud preparing to annihilate the
witness whom he Wes about to
cross-examine, “You say your
name is Williams. Can you prove
that to he your real name? Is thero
anybody in tbe court room who can
swear that you haven’t assumed It
for purposes of fraud and deceit?”
“I think you cau Identify me
yourself,” answered the witness.
I? Where did I ever see you
before, my friend?”
I put that scar over your right
eye twenty-live years ago, when
you were stealing peaches out of
my father’s orchard. I’m the same
Williams.” r

A Visit to the Wreck.
Abbeville Times.
Last Wednesday morning a crowd
of ladies and gentlemen accompa
nied Messrs. Carswell & Stubbs to
tbelr mill, near Wishart, to wit
ness tbe debris caused by the ex
plosion of the boiler there last Mon
day week.
It was a sight—broken Umbers,
plauks, irons, saws, tools—a mass
of rulued machinery, the engine
and shingle-mill having been com
pletely deuiolised. T’ie boiler was
not among these ruins, but caused
them by shootlug though them. It
was some distance from the mill,
having halted by coming In contact
with a large pine,which was consid
erably bruised and almost brought
to tho ground by the lick.
As we looked at the boiler and
what It had done, we concluded
that It must have ouce been a thing
of life and power, though now dead
aqd helpless and alone.
To tbe west of where the boiler
waB stationed, tbe grass, logs, etc.,
looked as if a swoleu stream had
swept aloug that way. We noticed
one tree about six iuebes Jn dlame
ter, perhaps fifty yards from tbe
mill, cut to tbe center by a piece of
flying iron.
To see the place 1( seems strange
that any one near It escaped alive.
Those, however, eu the sides did es
cape, though considerably brulBed
and scalded. Tbe gentleman, Mr.
E. A. Russell, who was killed, was
In the track of the boiler. It burst-
ed in the end, and at either end the
effect of the explosion was destruc
tive. Had the boiler bursted on
top, perhaps, everybody aroUDd it
would have been killed.
