Justice’s Mill.
On Monday morning last, Justice
Fryer’s court was in session and tried
three important cases. The time con

three cases only amounted to seven

As Mr. Butler Hudson, Clerk of our
Superior Court, was returning to his

hours of eight and nine, his liie was

Iu an interview with Mr. Hudson,
we learn, that just as he was nearing
his home in West Griffin, a negro ap
proached him suddenly’, and, placeing
a pistol to his side, fired it. The haste
of the would he assassin and the dark
ness of the night saved Mr. Hudson’s
life, as the ball only passed through
his overcoat, the only damage being a
burnt hole.
After firing, the negro made off so
rapidly that lie evaded a hurried shot
fiom Mr. Hudson, leaving no clue to
his identity.
Society Anniversary.
On Friday evening next the Barnes
ville Literary Association celebrates
its tenth anniversary at Literary Hall.
The public are cordially invited to he
present.
The exercises for the evening will
he interesting aud entertaining. There
will he the regular debate. The ques
tion selected for the occasion is,
Resolved “That the Bland Silver
Bill become a law.”
The disputants are S. K. Cook
and Jno. W. White for the affirmative
and It. J. Powell and Dr. G. M.
McDowell for the negative.
The anniversary address will be de
livered by Mr. H. C’ Hanson. Col.
W* It. Taylor was appointed alternate
to Mr Hanson.
The subject selected for debate is one
of the most important that could
have been selected, and the disputants
are among the ablest in the society’.
We feel safe therefore in assuring the
public that they will be entertained,
if they attend. The,Society is one of the
beneficial institutions of Barnesville,
and should he encouraged. We will
therefore expect a large attendance.
As it is probable there may be some to
attend, who never read the full text of
the hill we give it as follows;
An act to authorize the free coinage
of the silver dollar, and to restore its
legal tender character.
Be it enacted by the senate and
nouse of representatives of the United
ted States of America in congress as
sembled, That there shall be coined
at the several mints of the United
otates, silver dollars of the weight of
four hundred and twelve and a half
grains troy of standard silver as pro
vided in the act of January
eighteen hundred and thirty-seven,
on which shall be the devices and su
perscriptions provided by said act :
which eoius, together with all silver
dollars heretofore coined by the Uni
ted States of like weight and nominal
value, for all debts aud dues, public
and private, except where otherwise
provided by contract; aud the owner
of silver bullion may deposit the same
at any United States coinage mint or
assay office, to be coined into such dob
bins for his benefit, upon the same con
dition and terms as gold bullion is de
posited for coinage under existing |
laws,
See. 2. All acts and parts of acts
inconsistent with the provisions of
this act are hereby appealed.
The bill has already passed the
House by a large vote, 183 to 34 ami

as follows. After the word “con
tracts in the bill read :

than four million jollars per month,
aud cause the same to be coined into
such dollars; aud any seigniorage aris
ing from this coinage shall be accoun

ry provided under existing laws rela
tive to the subsidiary coiuage;provided
that the amount of money at any one
time invested in such silver bullion,

I'hc TEiomastou Fair.
W liiie in Thomaston last week we
had the pleasure of attending the Fair
held in the Academy on the Ist. and
2nd. insts. for the benefit of the Thom
aston High School. The special ob
ject we learn, being toequip the rooms
witli anew outfit of furniture, aud to
provide for other needed improve
ments. We were pleased to note the
liberality of those who contributed to
the enterprise, and made of it a hand
some success. A number of mer
chants iu distant cities responded
most liberally to the solictation for
contributions, and their handsome
gifts added greatly’ to the appearance
of the array presented to the eyes of
visitors. We venture to assert that
never before have the farmers iu the
surrounding country, aided more ma
terially in the success of any enter
prise, many of their contributions be
ing valuable productions from their
own lands. The liberality in giving
was equaled only by the freedom with
which they expended their money for
the different wares exhibited for sale.
Every one seemed to have some mon
ey ami we drew from the fact a happy
augury for the future. Hard times
seemed to he giving away before the
advance of a more prosperous day for
the farmer, and therefore for all.
The skillful hands of the ladies of
Thomaston aud vicinity,with additions
of numerous gifts from ladies of other
places, supplied the fancy articles. A
round the Flower Stand was constantly
found a throng of smiling beaux, who
appeared to buy happiness as they’
purchased their button-hole boquets
from the fair dealers iu this dainty
merchandise. Perhaps the most ap
preciable, and really’ soul-cheering
spots were found where the comforts
of the inner man were supplied, and
these departments were presided over
by true geniuses of the houselield or
der. The richest custards and most
delightful sillabub and cake yvere dealt
out from one stand, by those who were
equal to the constant demand. Then
came the Oyster Saloon from which
the savory odor was continually’ arising
anil making full men hungry’, and
drawing them as a “thread of beauty”
could not.
Each department was under the
charge of a committee of ladies, aud
managed with the ability ol’experts.
Near the door one was greeted with
the cry of “Confectioneries !” and
right before him was the stand beau
tifuliy arranged and supplied with ev
erything in this liue one could de
sire. Here a pause was made and ex
change of a few cents for sweet tilings
from the fair hands of the gay braders.
Next came the Post-office which was
iu able hands, and where every one
was sure to find a letter, full of inter
est, from the policy document of the
hungry office-seeker to the popular
Senator, down to the tender billet doux
addressed to some blushing belle.
The chief attraction of the occasion to
the juvenile portion of the crowd
seemed to be the Fish Pond, anil each
little fellow was delighted with the re
-ult of his nickle baiting.
The Art Gallery was an exhaustless
source of amusement, and it was
a noticeable fact that old men, who
had never before been known to feel
an interest in Art, were known to vis
it this department more frequently
ilian any other, and with more enjoy
ment - The auction proceeded briskly,
and the result of this and other sales
amounted to a handsome sum. There
was considerable-electioneering and vo
tingou hand, and any number of can
didates. A handsome picture present
ed by a lady of Thomaston was raffled
the Fair was a happy success and the
total amount of the money realized
was about §BOO.

married for wealth,
By Harman lleatii.
“Eva why did you treat Harry Ar
lington so distantly this morning?’’
“Valuda, why did you ask that ques
lion? Did you observe auy change in
my treatment of Harry? Admit that I
did treat him with reserve, are you my
guardian that you should have an eye
to all of my actions,” replied Eva rath
er petutantly.
“No sister, I am not your guardian,
nor do I desire to keep an undue watch
upon your actions, or give unjust re
proof, but I think it my duty as a sister
to admonish you when I discover that
you are in error. Have you forgotten
how devotedly Ilarry Arlington has
loyed you, and that you are at this
time his betrothed wife ?”
“Indeed you must think I am very
forgetful. Most assuredly I have very
good reasons for believing that Harry
loves me; and he has thought up to
this time, that within six months I
would ue his bride, but the engage
ment has become irksome and I have
broken it off I will never be the wife
of a poor man, even if he be intelligent
and educated,” replied Eva with a
sneer.
“What! have you really broken oft'
your engagement with Harry? exclaim
ed Yaluda in astonishment. Have you
no compunction of conscience in break
ing your promises? lam utterly sur
prised that a girl of your sense wouid
act iu that manner. You seem to find
no fault iu Harry, only that he is poor,
which he does not deny, he makes no
pretensions whatever to riches, he is a
hard student, and an upright gentle
man. I much fear you will some day
rue your bargain, if Arthur Fleetwood
is now your choice. I should prefer
Ilarry Arlington with his poverty to
Arthur Fleetwood with his hundreds of
thousands. And, Eva, I am afraid it
you make wealth your criterion you will
fall far short of the mark, for often un
der a rough exterior we find all those
ennobling qualities that constitute the
true man.”
“What you, proferr or what you
would do can have no effect upon me.
I for one, prefer wealth with a medioc
racy of intellect, to poverty with the
mental faculties of an Isaac Newtou or
of a Walter Scott. Arthur Fleetwood
and I are to be married just six months
from to-day.’’
Eva, if you seem so determined in
your course, it is useless to multiply
words; but take care that these beauti
ful lines:
“Of all the words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, “It might have been,”
do not come to you with full import in
the distant future when in anguish of
heart you sincerely lepent this rash
step.”
The two young ladies between whom
the above conversation were sisters.
Valuta and Eva Wharton. The
daughters of Richard Wharton a lead
ing merchant of one of our Southern
cities. They were both considered
beautiful in every sense of that word!
and while some admire the thougliful
countenance and gentle expression
beaming from the large, lustrous blue
eyes of Valuda, others admired the
dark haired hazed-ey 7 ed Eva, even if
she did not possess that decisivness—if
it may be so termed—in expression of
force that characterized her more sedate
sister. In exquisite mold and loveliness
of form feiv equaled and none surpassed
them.
Harry Arlington was a young man
possesed of fine intellectual faculties and
was reared in one of our country dis
tricts , He struggled against poverty in
many shapes and forms having been
left an orphan at a very tender age.
Harry was taken in charge by a well
to-do farmer and from a drudgery boy
he steadily rose step by step until at
the age of seventeen he was placed in
charge of a well improved and lucrative
farm, the results of assiduous applica
tion and observation To his Other ac
quirements a well stored mind was add
ed. The farm was a compass too con
tracted for his fast developing genius.
Ambition was his lodestar, the dizzy
heights of Fame towered above him,
He longed to reach, and place
upon his brow the well merited lauiel
wreath. For the accomplishment of
this great object, the legal profession
offered the most iuvitting field. Here
aired to the city iu which lived Richard
Wharton, and at once entered upon the ,
study of law. In a short time, the
student became the barrister; slowiy
hut surely he was wending his way up
ward and at no distant day bid fair to
be a leader iu his profession. Ilarry
Arlington had met the beautiful Eva
W barton while visiting friends in the
country, had wood aud won her heart
in hand, and for many months had been
her acknowledged siutor.
Arthur Eleetword was a dashing
gay young man, the son of a millionaire,
and could be rightfully considered as
belonging to that class of young meu.
generally termed pleasure seekers, that
throng our cities, lie prided more up
on a liue turn-out or costly dress than
upon any useful acquirements. His
name was almost a synonym for flattery,
and many were the victims of his heart
less flirtalins. He had long euvied
Harry Arlington his place iu the affect
ions of the queenly Eva Wharton, and
had resolved either by fair or dishon
est means to fail him. liow he suc
ceeded the following short note will
show:
Mr. Arlington,— Dear Sir : “For
sometime past I have been pondering
over the engagement existing between
us; and after much worrying I have de
cided that I cannot be the wife of a
man in your condition pecuniarily, I
have been reared—as it were—iu the
lap of luxury and cannot consent to
enter upon the life consequent upon
my marrying you. I trust the decision
may meet your approval. Enclosed
please find engagement ring* With
my bet swishes for your success, lam
Your friend, Eva Wharton.
Harry Arlington could hardly believe
his own eyes; he read and re-read, he
could not doubt the genuineness of the
signature, it was evidently the chiro
graphy of Eva. He remained in utte r
bewilderment for some time. At length
he muttered to himself. “To think
that Eva AVliarton the one being in
whom I have placed unbounded confi
dence; that she, whom, for these long
years I have loved should object to my
condition pecuniarily aud play me
false. Farewell, fair false woman, 1
am henceforth wedded to my books,’’
and he turned off to his usual business.
Though he held his troubles concealed
in his own breast, one could perceive
that a saddened look had settled over
his noble features, and months elapsed
bofore he seemed his former self again.
The time for the marriage of Arthur
Fleetwood aud Eva AVharton rolled
around, the nuptials were celebrated
with all the pomp and splendor that
wealth could command. Arthur Fleet
wood and his beautiful bride embarked
on a maguificent steam ship aud over
the briny deep they sped to spend a
bridal tour in Europe. They spent
some time in visiting various places of
historical interest and ' sight-seeing in
England; thence to the Centinent, and
through Germany and France to Italias
sunny clime; thence homeward. The
newly wedded couple took possession
of a beautiful mansion, and provided
with all that heart should wish fairly
set sail upon the journey of life.
Years have flown, old Times chariot
has sped at a swift rate, stamping
change upon the world at each revolu
tion of the glowing wheels. Harry Ar
lington the once poor farmers boy, the
ouce young aspirring barister, becomes
Hon. Ilarry Arlington, Senator iu the
National Legislature, to which place he
arose by gradual ascent. The pearls of
his eloquence vibrate through those
classic halls in vindication of the right;
his stupendous intellect has won for
him the leadership of his section, and
he stands the peer of that venerable
body.
Several years again, whirl by in quick
succession; the raven locks of Senator
Arlington have become slightly sprink
led with the frosts of thirty-eight win
ters. Business has called him to a dis
tant city. In deep thoughts he rambles
through the narrow streets lined with
the lowly cottages of the working class;
he suddenly stops. There floats upon
the balmy air in a beautiful yet sad
strain the following:
“Hearts are breaking’, souls are sinking
Neath the heavy burden they bear.
Yet live Christians never thinking
What our many sorrows are.
While we work, work away,
By night and by day,
While we work, work away,
With scarce time to pray.”
All the happy thoughts of other years
crowed in troops through his brain,
lie had heard that voice before, though
somewhat jarring and sad it was the
same. Some uncontrollable impulse
drove him on, he entered the small gate
and advanciug to the door, he gave a
gent'e rap, the singer arose and met
him. With much emotion he exclaimed
“Eva, Eva, we meet again.’,
O, Harry, Harry, is it possible—
Hush, hush, he replied in much agi
tation, and with an arm thrown around
her slender waist, he pressed her to his
bosom aud as of old imprinted a kiss up
on her rosy lips.
K “Forgive me Harry I”
“You are forgiven dearest.’’
1 hus had the noble Senator Arling
ton found the love of his early years,
lie had remained) unmarried till this
time, no other of the fair sex had been
able to capture his heart since Eva had
played him false.
Eva Fleetwood formerly Wharton—
though the wreck of her former self was
still possessed iu part of her youthful
beauty.
The story of her marrie I life is soon
told. Arthur Fleetwood had squon
dered in a few years his immense es
tates, ami after a few brief years of hap
piness, Eva found herself the wife of a
drunken, and brutal husband, from
whom death soon happily relieved her.
Then it was toil, toil away for daily
bread. Too proud to call upon the
friends of her prosperity she was wear
ing her life away with ceasless toiling.
Ere another week rolled around she
was the wife of him whom she deserted
to marry tor wealth fifteen years be
fore. Their cup of bliss being now full
to overflowing they 7 settle down to enjoy
the reoiaiudei' of their liyes iu peaes and
prosperity.
A VALUABLE WORK.
The Pictorial History of the United

with a complete History of the Cen
tennial Exhibition. By Jas. D.
McCabe, Author of “ A Manual of
General History,” 41 The Great Re
public,” Etc.
It is a well-known fact that the
great mass of our people are compelled
to rely, for their knowledge of the
history of their couutry, unon the out
line woaks intended for the use of
schools, which by their very nature
are brief; designed for the comprehen
sion of children, and in every way un
suited to the adult mind. There has
long been felt a genuine want of a
History of the United State, covering
the whole period from the discovery
ofthe Continent to the present day,
and presenting in a succinct and com
prehensive form the history of our
country through its varoious periods,
from a higher and more thoughtful
standpoint thau would be proper in a
school history. This demand we are
happy to say is satisfactorily met in”
The Pictorial History of the United
States,” a work which is evidently de
stined to take rank as the Standard
History of our country. The author,
James D. McCabe, is an able and well

A VERY GOOD REASON.
The reason why only one sample bottle
of Morrell’s Heaptine for the Liver will be
sold to the same person, for ten cents, by
our Druggist, J. W. Hightower &Cos is
because of the enormous expense of im
porting the Hepatinc into this cuntry ;
but as there are fifty doses iu the large
size bottles, it seems two cents for dose
is cheap enough after all for a medicine
that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint.
All who have not had a sample bottle are
entitled to one for ten cts. at J. W. High
tower Drug store. Three doses relie vis
any case of dyspepsia, constipation, indi
gestion or liver complaint, in the world.
Regular size bottles, fifty doses, £I.OO.
NOW AND THEN .
It is only now and then that such men
as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov.
Smih and Ex-. Gov. Brown of Ga._ en
dorse a medicine for the throat and lungs,
and when they do it is pretty good evi
dence that the remedy must be good for
the cure of coughs, colds and lung affec
tions. They recommend the Globe Flower
Cough Syrup, and their testimonials are
to be seen round the ten cent sample bot
tles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale
by J. W. Hightower & Cos.
A sample bottle relieves the worst cough
and willeure sore throat. Regular size

A. Cioiit le Hint.
Inourttylecf Climate, with its su -
llen changes of temperature, rain, wind
and sunshine often intermingled in a sin
gle day, it is uo wonder that our children
friends anil relatives are so frequently ta
ken from up by neglected colds, half the
deaths resulting directly from this cause.
A bottle of Bosehee’s German Syrup
kept about your home for immediate use
will prevent serious sickness, a large doc
tor’s bill, and perhaps death, by the use
of three or four doses. For curing Com
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia,
Severe Coughs, Croup or any disease of
the Throat or Lungs, its suceess is simply
wonderful, as your druggist will tell you.
German Syrup is now sold in every town
ami village on this continent. Sample

REMAKABLE SUCCESS.
The success of the leading literary
paper of the West, The Chicago Led
ger, is truly remarkable. Ninee iis
introduction to the reading public, six
years ago, The Ledger has steadily i.d
vanced in favor, and is naw acknowl
edge second to no paper of the kind in
tlic country. Its circulation is nation
al, and has been obtained through the
efforts of its publishers to produce a
paper of high moral character, aud at
the same time sell it at a price consist
ent with the present hard times. That
they have succeeded, and well, too, the
thousands of readersof The Ledger
scattered from Maine to Texas and
from Oregon to Florida will bear testi
mony. The Chicago Ledger is a large
forty-eight column weekly paper, which
contains stories both complete and con
tinued, in each number, written by the
best authors of the day, and a great va
riety of informtion interesting to every
one. The subscription price of The Led •
ger is only §l, 50 per year, postage
paid, and it is equal in every particu
lar to other papers of the same character
which sell for £3 a year. Three copies
of this valuable paper will be sent to any
one who sends 10 cents anil their ad
dress to The Ledger, Chicago, 111.
