We find the jail in safe condition, and as cleanly kept as circumstances admit. The pauper farm we find in good con dition, except the roof of two of the houses, these are in need of some re pairs.

Sacxnehs. “Don't worry boss,” [said the fellow, “I kuow every one of them niggers, they are honest, and I tell you that the money will be returned just as soon as one of them finds he has it.” Sure enough, a letter came next day from J. W. Bussell, of Americus, one of the par ties, stating that in counting his money he bad discovered that he was ten dol lars ahead and asking Mr. Greer if he had not made a mistake in counting. The Ordinary explained that he had and sent an addressed envelope for its re turn. Tuesday the envelope returned with the money in it. Those who believe that there is no honor in the colored race simply don’t know them all and judge the entire race by the worst characters among them. The editor of the Citizen while driv ing through Schley county, not long ago, lost his pocket book containing papers and money. After searching in vain for it we finally gave it up as gone. Charley Powell, a negro boy about 18 years of age, son of Tom Powell, who lives four miles east of Kllavillo, passing along the same road found the pocket book and without any display or ado, hunted us up and returned the book and money. # Of course there aie hundreds of ne groes who are not so scrupulous about how they obtain money, yet are there many others who aro as honest as the two mentioned.—Macon County Citizen ATTEMPTED gUICIDK.

J. C. Roney, Postmaster. Americus, Ga., Oct 28, 1891. A Little Hoy Badly Hurt. The little son of Mr. J. W. McClean of Richland happened to a serious acci dent on Tuesday which may cost the lit tle fellow his life. While playing he fell in some unknown way from a window and is now lying unconscious with little hopes of recov ery. The fond parents have the sym pathy of many friends who wish that the little boy may yet pull through and be the joy of the household once more. DO NOT SUFFER ANY LONGER.

Winchester was summoned to the bedside of Peter West, colored, who had A short time before arrived at home and been stricken with peculiar symp toms. the muscles of his body were en tirely relaxed, and an examination by I)r. Winchester revealed the symptoms of a narcotic poisoning. West’s wife told the doctor that her husband had been drinking, and that ho was only under the influence of whis key, but recognizing immediately that something unusual ailed his patient, he used a stomach pump. But after using the pump he could detect no trace or odor of whiskey, though West, wdiom the doctor speedily restored, insisted ’.hat he had only been drunk. Dr. Winchester quickly succeeded in bringing his patient around, and from his examination is confident that West attempted suicide and neither his wife or himself wished the fact known. Two New Boarders, Sheriff Troy Holder is at his same old tricks. He got in a good piece of work yesterday and brought over two new boarders for the Americus jail last night. About a year since three negroes Walter Glen, Tom and Mary Thornton, were convicted and sent to Clegg & Coney’s brick yard in Dooly county, where they were to servo one year. At the expiration of the sentence they were each to spend three months in jail. Glen complied with the law and is now in the Lumpkin jail. Tom and Mary Thornton made their escape last December, and though every effort was made to capture them, Sheriff Holder searching all through Florida in March last, they managed to stay clear of him. The negroes it seemed were only waiting for their time in the chain gang to expire and their idea was to re turn, serve the three months in jail and then go their way rejoicing. But the law dont work that way, so upon their arrival home, Sheriff Holder introduced them to the cold facts in the case. They are now in the Americus jail, and it is probable they will go to brick making again. “Counting Chicken*,” Ac. The S., A. & M. will soon run trains into the city and with it will come the forming of business relations with a sec tion of country heretofore not reached by rail. The trade of that section will come to Montgomery and bo cordially welcomed.—Montgomery Advertiser. From the above it would seem that Montgomery is banking upon hopes that will never be realized. The “forming of business relations” will no doubt occur, but it will take place somewhere in the neighborhood of ninety miles cast of Alabama’s capital city, and it is a pity that she has hugged to her breast the de lusive idea that “the section of country heretofore not reached by rail” will do its business w ith her, for therein lies bitter disappointment for Montgomery. The aforesaid section of country is ab solutely certain to come eastward to es tablish Its business relations and Ameri cus is the point at which they will be established. Sorry for Montgomery, but facts are facts. CARPETS! RUGS! MATTINGS!

Hinkle will be more than glad to learn that both are improving rapidly from the recent severe illness to which they have been subjected and that com plete recovery is only a matter of short time. I)r. Hinkle’s case was one of blood- poison, anti contracted from a ‘too close examination of a patient after a surgical operation. This is a busy time with him and last uight he was compelled to trans fer a telegraphic call from another place ou account of not yet having sufficiently recovered to attend to professional du ties.
