The new hotel, when completed, will be the handsomest building m town. Mr Skinner, the contractor, seems to kno"' exactly what he is about. The future outlook for Schley county was never brighter than to day. Her corn cribs and meat houses are full and her citizen nearer out of debt than at any t i, u e since the war. Mr. Jack Dinkins wears a broad smile an d walks as though he had suddenly become a millionaire. Its a ten pound boy at bis house. Dr. Sears says Mr. p was the happiest man in Christendom. Rev. Robert Adams, the Presbyterian m innister of Americus, preached at the Methodist, church Sunday. He is a per suasive and logical speaker and his ser mons were listened to with much inter est. Just think of it, Christmas with its tinhorns, fire-crackers, baked turkey and rolicking festivities is almost here. Only one short week and we will be in the midst of the biggest day of all the year. Jlr, Win. Walters and family moved to Columbus this week to make that their future home. Mr. Walters is a good citizen and we are sorry to see hmi l ave Schley county, but we guess that he will be moving back again ere long. With the Scovill House and Hornady House, two real nice pleasant boarding houses, as good as can be found any where in the South, and the new hotel now in course of erection, Ellaville will soon be ready to take care of the weary and hungry tourist in good shape. Rev. Milton B. Ferrell, a voung minis ter with a wife and one child, has been appointed to fill the Ellaville circuit. He will preach his initial sermon at the Methodist c urcli next Sunday week, Dec. 29t'n. All should turn out and give him a cheerful start oft' on his year's work. An Ellaville lady awoke a few nights since and found her baby verging onto croup and almost choking. She gave it D drops of Scarborough’s Cough Drops mid the effect was magical, relief wasal ln °"t instantaneous. We dont make a habit of puffing proprietary medicines for nothing, but so good a remedy for 'Hisdread disease, we think ought to be made known. •k'- Claude Dixon has about made up his mind to build a large brick store on bis lot adjoining Murray – Williams, bt is probable that be and Mr. Peacock "ill build together and erect a large hick block divided into two stores. Ibis will be a big addition to Ellaville. L lien our merchants begin to build brick stores, then our little citv will boom sure enough. ^ r ’ Cheney recieved an invitation, this from one of the handsomest maid (•’ns ’ n Alabama, to attend the dedicato b services of the firs Baptist Church of M °y Ala. next Sunday.

Mr. Eli Stewart, one of the thrifty farmers of the Northern portion of this county, was in town Monday on his way to Americus. He says that it takes his mail just two weeks to reach him from Ellaville, a distance of fourteen miles. This state of affairs ought to be changed.

Mr. F. M. Pilcher lost all of his corn and fodder last Wednesday night by fire He had just finished hauling in his crop and lost everything and had to go off next morning and get corn to feed his horses. It was with the utmost difficul ty that his residence and other buildings were saved. The fire occurred about bed-time and was undoubtedly, the work < f n incendiary. Suspicion joints strong ly to, Louisa Dixon, a colored woman. Her husband worked for Mr. Pilcher this year and in settling up gave Mr. P. his cotton to pay for supplies furnished during the year. Louisa, it seems was opposed to her husband’s paying the debt with the cotton and made threats to burn it rather than Mr. Pilcher should realize any benefit from it. The cotton had just been hauled up and was stand ing on a wagon near the barn, when it was fired. She was arrested and had a hearing Friday, before justice Womack, but his honor, it seems, did not think the evidence sufficiently strong to bind her over to court. Mr. Pilcher’s neighbors have shown their sympathy in a substan tial way. Already about half of his loss has been subscribed in corn and fodder. WEDDING BELLS. Tt seems that cupid has been busy of late hurling his mystic darts at the hearts of ouv young people, and the re sult is lots of wedding bells. A double wedding occured last night at the residence of Mr. J. T. Collins, Miss Julia Collins was married to Mr. W. R. Dupriest and Miss Joe Collins to Mr Les ter Stewart, Rev. W. W.Tidwell officiat ing. On Thursday morning at the residence of the brides mother Mrs. N. E. Dupriest Rev. W. W. Tidwell officiating Miss Mattie Dupriest was married to Mr. J. S. Hill. On Tuesday evening Miss Eva Rober son was married to Mr. W. G. Heath at the residence of the brides Mother Airs. Robinson, Rev Mr, Charles Walters offi dating. At the residence of the bride’s father, Jlr. Newton Glover, yesterday afternoon Miss Lillie Glover was married to Mr. Myrt Harvey, Rev. Mr. Flanders officiat ing. We learn that several other weddings are on the tapis, Tom Powell is one of the few black men who tries to art up to white princi pies and has brought up his children in the way they should go. Last week Tom’s son, Charley, a young man about grown found a pocket-book in the road , leading to County Line Church. Open ing it, he found it contained a five dol lar bill, a gold pen, some rail road passes, receipts and other pay ers. From the contents, he very easily discovered the in; me of tlmown- r. who was a stangerto him, hut he carefully wrapped up the pocket book, laid it away ail' I sent the loser word where lie could find it. This was exactly right and just what any liom st man would have done, but there are plenty men, white as well as black, wlm could not have resisted the tempta tion to keep the money and say nothing about finding the book. As it was, Charley recieved one dollar for his hon esty and is happy over the consciousness of having done right. SCHLEY COUNTY NEWS. The A. Gr.

Regarding a recent homicide in Wii cox county the Hawkinsv 1 e Dispatch on Ito of 25th ult., in Wilcox county, has been fully investigated and it turns out to be a case of purely justifiable homicide. Mr. Bush surrendered himself to the proper officers and demanded a prelimi nary trial, which resulted in his dis charge. Hughes was an impudent ne gro, ovdrbearing in disposition, and a bad citizen generally. Both the white an d colored people of the neighborhood exonerate Mr. Bush from all blame. aa Ja ftM m pen V ss .
