WHEATLEY
In last Friday’s Issue of The Times-
Recobder mention was made of the
shooting scrape indulged in near Mr.
Nell Raj’s plantation at Stewart’s Cross
ing by negroes, resulting in the wound
ing of one of the participants. The
wounded man died Wednesday morning.
From all that can be learned it seems
that John Fulton and Freeman Partee,
while playing cards last Thursday, be
came involved in a difficulty, which was
soon settled amicably, and they separa
ted with apparent good-will towards
each other. Rut a woman, who has con
trol over Partee, and who probably had
some private spite against Fulton, per
suaded the former that he had not
been treated fairly and that
should take revenge. Partee foolishly
allowing himself to he influenced by
the designing woman, went to Fulton’s
house about 8 o'clock in the evening,
and calling him to his door, shot him.
The pistol used was a 38-calibre and in
dicted a a terrible wound. Fulton lin
gered until yesterday morning and thon
died from the effects of his hurt.
Partee was arrested immediately after
the shooting and lodged in jail in this
city, where he now awaits the action of
the grand jury in his case.
The coroner’s jury, after an inquest
held over the body yesterday afternoon,
returned a verdict of “willful murder.

Closing Rapidly the Gap Between A inert
leu* and Montgomery.
Only six miles more of track to be
laid and the Savannah, Americus
Montgomery road will be complete.
The intervening trestles, consisting of
six openings are all that delays the work,
and there being almost no timber in that
country the company were compelled to
wait until the track was laid across the
Chattahoochee river before going ahead
with them.
Capt. Hardaway, the contractor, has
two crews of hands and keeps his pile
drivers going night and day, and with
ordinary good luck hopes to drive the
last spike in jthirty days.
Already there are hundreds of bales of
cotton both at Enoch and Paradise

shipment to Americus.
Approved the Bill.
Gov. Xorthen yesterday approved the
legislative bill providing for the incor
poration of the Merchants’ and Farmers’
Bank of this city.
The banking facilities of Americas are
unsurpassed by any city in Georgia.
Already there are four institutions with
in its limits doing a general banking
business, all upon the soundest financial
basis, as is shown by their periodical
statements and the rarity of transfer of
any of the stocks, and with the two re
cently chartered by the past legislature
there will bo almost call for the estab
lishing of a clearing-house.

Little, but Lively.
Little grain* of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.”
And dropping into prose, wc would
say, that Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets
are mild, but protnpt in relieving consti
pation, sick headache, bilious attacks,
pain in region of kidneys, torpid liver,
and in restoring a healthy, natural ac
tion to the stomach and bowels. 25
cents a vial. One Pellet a dose. Little,
but lively. The use of the old style,
drastic pills is an outrage on the human
system.

Death of Mr. •!. T. Person*.
Last Tuesday morning at 2 o’clock, at
Drancvillc, death relieved the sulferings
of Mr. J. T. Persons, who has for the
last three months endured the most ex
cruciating agonies from scrofula and
paralysis, being paralyzed from bis hips
down. All medical aid was of no avail.
Mr. Persons leaves a devoted wife and
soven children to mourn tbeir loss.
The great Dr. Boerbaave left tbree
directions tor preserving the
health—keep the feet warm, the head
cool, and the bowels open. Had he
practiced in our day he might have
added: and purify the blood with Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, for he certainly would con
sider It the best.
The well that is being bored at Wheel
ing, W. Va., in the interests of science
has reached tl-.o depth of three-fourtbs

the rate of about ten feet a day.
The Proof of the Pudding.
Have you humors causing blotches?
Does your blood run thick and sluggish?
Are you drowsy, dull and languid?
Is u hnu litste In your mouth, aud
Is your tongue nil furred and coated?
Is your sleep with bail dreams broken?
I)o you feel downhearted, dismal.
Dreading something, what, you know not
Then be ,ery sure you’re bilious—
That you have a torpid ilvor.
and what you need is something to rouse
It and make it active enough to throw off
the impurities that clog it; something to
invigorate the debilitated system, and
help all tlie organs to perform the duties
expected of thorn, promptly and energet
ically. That “somotliing” is Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, the great
Blood Purifier, which its proprietors
have such faitli in that they guarantee it
to euro. If it docs not, your money will
bo refunded. But it will. Buy it, try
it, and bo convinced of its wonderful
power. If the proof of tho pudding is in
tlie eating, the proof of tills remedy is in
the taking.
If every man would try to reform him
self less effort would be required in re
forming others.
Ayer’s Pills, beiug convenient, effica
cious, and safe, are tlio host cathartic,
whether on land or sea, in city or coun
try. For constipation, sick headache,
Indigestion and torpid liver they never
fail. Try a box of them.
Capt. T. D. Johnson.
To all whom it may concern: I take
great pleasure in testifying to the effica
cious qualities of tlie popular remedy
for eruptions of tlie skin, known as P. P.
1’. 1 suffered for several years witii an
unsightly and disagreeable eruption on
my faco, and tried various remedies to
remove it, nono of which accomplished
tlio object until this valualdo prepara
tion was resorted to. After taking three
bottlos in accordance witii directions I
am now entirely cured.
J. D. Johnston,
Of tlio liim of Johnson & Douglass,
oct.20,d2t,w2t Savannah, Ga,
Ati.anta, October 21 —The governor
has decided tlie fate of tlie school bill.
lie vetoed it this morning, and the
veto sets out his reasons, they being that
tlie law would cripplo tlie public schools
in its present shape.
This leaves the present public school
law in force.
Tho Whitfield Insurance bill is a law,
made so to-day by the governor putting
Ids name to it.
This disposes of tlie two matters
which have been hanging tire for some
time.
Tlie bill to put tlie express and tele
graph companies under tlie railroad com
mission is still under advisement. At
torney-General Little lias the bill and
will this afternoon give the governor an
opinion as to its constitutionality.
An order was passed closing tlio exec
utive and other state departments dur
ing the unveiling of the Grady monu
ment.
This being tiie last day for the gov
ernor to sign hills, ho will be engaged
until midnight in the task of examining
them.
Those bills not signed by midnight
will be vetoed by operation of law, the
live days allowed tlie governor to sign
bills having expired.
Interesting Relics.
Mr. J. J. Brown of Schley county has
in his possession a coin interesting to
antiquarians by reason of its great age.
It is a Spanisli dollar and bears upon its
face tho date 1773, and the bust of
Charles III. Tlie piece of monoy was
coined about the period of Spain’s com
mencement of decline from her high
and powerful position among tlie nations
of the world, and even then, while not
in the zenith of her strength, as in the
days of Columbus and Hernando Cortez,
she wielded a vast iniluence throughout
civilization and governed an immense
territory. Slow and gradual, but none
the less sure, has been the decline of
the once proud and arrogant Castilian
kingdom, until to-day, through internal
strife and a series of bad monarclis, it
has fallen to an insignitiesnt place
among tho world’s great nations.
Mr. Brown has also another relic of
oven more absorbing interest to the
American patriot, an old riHe that was
carried by ids grandfather, Mr. Thos.
Parker, during tne war of 1812, and
used by him at the celebrated battle of
Now Orleans in January, 1815.
A person wounded must die within a
year and a day to make the person in
dicting tlie wound guilty of murder.
P. P. P. Saves Life.
SAYS WILL LIVE FOREVER.
A prominent Savannahiar, formerly
superintendent of a railroad says: “I
was crippled in my foot anJ arms so
that I could not walk without crutches,
nor eat without having a servant to feed
me. I tried physicians everywhere, but
to no purpose, and Anally wont to New
York, where my doctors, nt ono time,
decided to amputate my arm, but found
that course impracticable on account of
a wound I had received during the war.
I returned to Savannah a complete
wreck, and my case seemingly liopoiess.
As a forlorn hope I began to take P. P.
P., and am rejoiced to say that after
using three bottles my limbs began to
straighten out, my appetite aod health
soon returned, and I now feel like a new
man; really, as if I had been made over
again, and as if I could live forevor—so
long as i can got I’. P. P.”
This gentleman will not give his name
for publication, but authorizes us to
refer anpbody to him for a verification
of these facts, who will apply to us.
