On Monday night of last week Mr. D.
M. Coggin of this county was called
out of his house, by someone dressed
in female attire. liis wife appeared at
the door in answer to the call, but was
notified that Mr. Coggin was desired.
He then walked o£ and as he ap
proached the gate™ person in female
dress bursted a cap and the gun ceased
to fire. In an instant Hiejgun fired, but
Mr. Coggin happened not to be in its
range and was mlt touched. The cow
ardly, would be assassin. at once fled,
I doubtless believing he had accomplish
ed his desired work.
One of the best results of the election
last Wednesday was the resolution of
about one hundred colored men to align
themselves with the democratic party
with a view to voting and working with
it hereafter. AVelook on this move as
a most favorable one of the times. The
Gazette editorial called forth by Mr.
Barrett’s asking if the nominees desir
ed the colored vote caused the think
ing colored voters of this district to
consider the of all the coloied
people
T. u
The Fun A'ote.
The election in this county last week
was alxmt as stale as the canvass had
been. At this precinct the vote of
colored men were so solidly Democratic
that the excitement usuallv attending
the State election, failed to put in its
appearance. The independent support
was on the ground, but a minutes,
to be convinced that there was but lit
le following. At Zebulon Mr. Barrett
oncentrated iiis colored support and
.lade a desperate charge. But his ma
ority there was vanquished when the
.osts ol Barnesville and Milner, poured
1 ill on them. As will be seen from the
I returns, Barrett obtained a majority of
the votes cast west of Potato Creek.
Without further comment we give the

was paW. As to the other N. P’s. and
J. P’s. of the County, we would recom
mend that they be made to appear be

tlie next April term to show cause, why
they should not be held amenably to

prisoners recently. We would
fore recommend that our County GH§||
missioners at as early a day as
cable, have a good, secure Jail

We find the improvements on the
Poor farm in bad repairs, requiring an
immediate outlay of no small amount
to render it what it should be. We teal
that the benefits derived are not
mensurate with the amount
in said Farm, and would
ommend that it be sold and the
ceeds applied to the building of anew

tions, that portion of the road leading
from Mrs. Hales to Birch Creek in

We find the roacWeading from Zebu

many plaßes.
We learn also that the roads leadinjy
from Mary Gibson’s to Mrs.

We desire to call attention to the
lowing bridges. The bridge acre®

this question of the happy relationship
of husband and wife. In fact I consid

Bue healing is what you want. You
iliould not have carried it to any other
friend not even to your mother. Her
heart no doubt would bleed for you,
and it might have been
sweet to you to have heard her words
of sympathetic sorrow, but they would
have brought you no nearer to your
husband’s heart, No, my sister, if you
cannot go to your husband and freely
speak of this or any other trouble to
him, there is a want of confidence be
tween you that will ever prove a draw
back to your married happiness if you
should livt together until your heads
are hoary with age. Your first busi
ness must he to get rid of this want oi
confidence. AA'henyou show to your
husband that you have*i<?#tlier inter
est in life but his, and that it is the
chief object of your life to be happy
as his wife and the mother of liis
children, he is very apt to show his
appreciation by his consideration of
your feelings unless indeed he is a very
bear, such as only occasionally are seen
in a civilized country.
I must say I think “Beatrice No. 1.”
in her advice last week was somewhat
sarcastic, not to say facetious. There
was a hint of a daring spirit in her sug
gestions that might have a
little more plainly expressed if Be had
said ‘W. dare any man to mope around
me!” One can imagine that her hus
band is somewhat in haste to remove
his hat with most conciliating courtesy
and to to her with alacrity. I sus
pect thaUniggestion of Lis about the
spider in the dumpling” was made
with the expression of countenance
that I have heard bad boys call “the
dry grins.”
There may be a few men angelic
enough to keep silent two or three days
whejfcthem wives are “embarassing
them finJmllv,” but like the bears
they arelearce. and I am dubious about
that being the trouble with the hus
band under discussion. As for the road
down his throat being the possible one
to his heart, it may be so, for a well
prepared spread of favorite dishes is
tinighty comforting” to a man and a
Woman too; but my observation has
been that moping men don’t eat much.

by. So I hope “Sympathizer” will not
be offended if I say], do not think her
words were worth much as advice. She
gave usa very charming 1 little picture
of her happy life, and it is very envia
ble and all that, but it did make me
smile to read about “domestic bliss”
after sixteen years of married life. Of
course a great many married people are
happy and contented after twice that
many years have passed but bliss —well,
you know that sounds so much like a
school girls idea of love, or-Heaven.
And a “heart-felt embrace’ 4 every time

For The Household. -
Amiable Sisters: *
I was just waiting my turn to have a
long talk with you in which I would
have eiWfcivored to answer a few ques
tions , and discuss a few more, when in
stepped our sister from the “country”
us with
“1 think you are a man, is it true?”
Now, as I have nejur assumed to be
anything more than what I really am,
it would nit be pleasant at any time to
be thus aewsted, but at this particular
time when our Doctors and Preachers
and all the other men of th© country
except our ‘ ‘Old Bachelor,” luwe their
heads and hearts, and hands 3 full of
politics that they are running over one
another for office for themselves, and
wrangling with each other for votes
for their “nominees’’and their “indepen
dents” and their “prohibitionists” just
like savages, and we of the Household
can t even take up a newspaper to while
it way a few leisure minutes from all
the rough work that our once “soft
white hands” now forced to per
form, withoutmaving our faces burn,
our hearts grieved our souls pained, and
our bodies sickened by the exposition
fcf the conflict of man. It is more than
fry woman of spirit can bear in si-
Hnc e.
w If you must think me a man, do let it
be when all men are cool, and sober,
and in their proper places, endeavoring
to build up, and -‘light up” their homes
churches and country, instead of play
ing the inebriate in their exertions to
pull down a government that cost so
much precious blood,just for the few pal
try dollars in its walls. Let it be when all
when all men everywhere are so hon
est and upright that there is not a sin
gle cause for a single blush of shame to
mantle a single cheek, and avhen all wo
men can hold np their heads with beam
ing faces reflecting all the light of those
reigning over them and proudly claim
for their fathers, brothers, husbands,
sons and rulers, men—men with brains
enough to make them honorable. Yes
if you must think me a man, let it be
■w hen our “Household” and Temper
ance Departments are regarded with
the consideration due them as sanctua
ries and all of the powers of man both
mental and physical are exerted to the
utmost, by all men, for the promotion of
“AVisdom, Justice and Moderation.”
“The chiefest action ol a man of spirit
Is never to be out of action; we should think
The soul was never to be put into the body
Which has so many rare and curious pieces
Of mathematical motion to staid still.”
We should think, too, that the soul
was never to be put into the body of
man to move it to evil; and the soul
that does move to evil should never be
in the body of man—better in the body
of anything else—from the fact that
man was made to rule; and as man was
made in the image of God, it is evident
that he was made to rule in a Godlike
manner. There is so little manifesta
tion of a Godlike spirit in the men at
present that I would not have you think
me one of them for the world, I would
rather have you think me a plain talker
just what I am than have you think me
the governor of a state,or the president
of these once United States, unless you
and I and every one else knew him fc
be a Godlike man.
Xow, as I have never held a “caucus’’
uin for an office, bought, sold nor cast
a vote > uor Put on any other “manish
air” since I entered this Household, I
fan’t imagine whatever led the sister
to tlii nk me a man, unless I have expos-

If so, nurse him well, and have all of
the patience possible with him until lie
recovers: and while you are making
yourself agreeable, your home bright
and pleasant, and lighting up your ta
ble with all the “nice things to eat” that
you can prepare, endeavor to imp e;s
upon his mind the fact that you through
love for litru, have honored him so high
ly as to elect him to three offices of
more importance than any that the
votes of men can give. Help him to
see that with one vote, you have made
him, lirst the Ruler of a Household, the
highest office in the reach of man; sec
ond, the Household of a woman, the first
offieeever held by man; third the FaVier
of living souls, the most responsible
office that man ever held.
Now, “we should think” that these
three Joffices, Ruler, Husband, and
Father would be enough to satisfy any
one man. They are more than any
man lias ever been known to fill. Our
father Adam failed in all, for he neit ti
er ruled his household, protected his
wife, nor controlled his children.
Washington filled the office of presi
dent it is true, but then we must re
member that he did not hold the office
M Father and had no living souls to
Bed, clothe, educate for usefulness, and
%ain for heaven. As to |ofc he filled
the office of Euler of household it is
impossible for us to know unless Ae
wad been membersjthe rich “widow”™
marjjgd may have reigned supreme over
both, it and him; nojtfier can we tell

which he did not speak to his wife in a

ing the whole household that it was his
duty to light up with apery ray of

Mrs. 11. S. one of our most worthy
has to us for “help” in
preserving the Household Department
but I can’t see whajjpwe can do unless
our Editor, as Ruler, would exercise
“Vigilance” enough to keep of inva
ders; but Adamriike,wi)l let the serpent
in, drive the w<mien and children out
and as a comAuence, while the ser
pents as politicians are in the House
hold Department, some of the sisters
are in the political department, and
there is no telling where the rest are so
wake up Mr. Editor get to your post of
duty, and let your light so shine as to
guide us home again.

That Sin ful, Say-lNTothing, i#inlu
Husband!
Dear Household — The commnni
cation of Beatrice No. 2, in the Gazette
of week before last, filled me with in
dignation and pity. When 1 saw in
imagination poor Beatrice trying to
gain even so small a boon as the sim
ple notice of her husband K by,exerting
herself to her utmost abilityto inakeev
erything pleasant for him, while lie
was at borne; showering upon him ca
resses and kisses, with a thousand oth
er sweet expressions m her love for him,
and then he, like an ungrateful dog, re
fusing to reciprocate her love even to
the extent of speaking to her; I tell you
my old blood boiled with indignation
against him, and the tears of sympathy
almost stole out from under my old
specs.
But I have been tliAking about the
matter a great deal si* e. I read the
article from our kind sister Sympathi
ser in last week’s issue, and was pleas
ed with it. She has a wise head and a
good heart, and I’ll venture to say is a
splendid wife. I read the article from
Beatrice Xo. 1 and thought she had a
right to her nom de plume. There was
some comfort in both of these good sis
ters’ articles for poor Beatrice Xo. 2;
and I want to join them in good to her
But Beatrice, you must allow me to
talk plainly to you. I do not know who
you are, but feeling that you are sin
cere in your inquiry, and believing that
you will allow an old gray-haired wo
man, one who has been under the
frowns of adversity, as well as enjoying
the smiles of prosperity, to be very
candid with you, I propose giving you
a motherlv talk.
In the first place, dear daughter, you
say that while husband wont
speak to you someppes for several
days in succession, yrt he always gets
you what you want. The latter decla
shows that you have a generous, big
hearted husband. Providing well fora
family is one of the best characteristics
of a good husband. More, a man who
has that much soul is about what his
wife makes him. This is plain talk,
but don’t get out of humor with nfe, I
am trying to help yon find out why
your husband does not speak to you
sometimes. Dear child, you may be
just married—may be a selfish, self
willed, thoughtless wife. More, it is
possible that you are so disgusting him
with your failures as a true, womanly
wife, that you could not justly blame
him if he should never speak to you
again. My dear Beatrice, how much
are you doing to make your husband
happyyon doing
called for, unkind words have you spo
ken to him and about him in the last
six months? Stop and think, dear
child, how much of your husband’s af
fections, or even respect, you merit.
Are you really trying to help aril make
happy the husband who is so kindly
providing for you, or are you pulling
back, worrying him in ten thousand
silly ways? Ido not mean io put all
the blame on you, dear Beatrice, ijgHS
bly you are not to blame at all,
tell you seriously, 1 am afraid you are j
more to blame than he is. If you have j
been an unappreciative, impatient, pet-1
ulant wife in the past, giving your hus
band's heart ten thousand unnecessary
pangs, then repent before Godin sack
cloth and ashes, and beg for good sense
ami grace to enable you to be an exem
plary wife. If you feel conscious of no
sin ol omission or commission on your
part, then your lot is a sad one.
Hoping that this plain talk, given
you in love, may remove the cause that
shuts out the sunlight from the (nne
and hearts of yourself and husband. 1
am in great kindness, • *
Your affectionate, M

Other men may grow cotton alone, for gain,
But give me fields of grass and grain;
Give me cribs, well lined with golden corn, ‘
Sheep, from whose backs the fleece is shorn;
Give me a smoke-house, well stocked with meat,
And bins running o'er with new thrashed wheat;
Give me oats to spare, after the stock is fed,
And milch cows chewing their cuds, under shed,
Peas and potatoes in patches well tilled.
And barn-lofts large, with fodder well tilled;
Give me plenty of hogs to he always in sight,
And ‘*lowlr.g herds, ’to care for at night;
Give me orchards rare, well stocked with fruit,
And honey bees buzzing in hives to suit,
I care not what price their cotton may bring.
I’ll have plenty to eat both winter and^pring.
What more would make the picture
First—a neat and tasty country seat,
Both roomy and convenient, not expensive or
vain,
Affording warmth and comfort, a shelter from
rain,
From ex tremes of heat and cold exempt,
Ihmof against disease or burglars attempt, A
for comfort, but not for prido,
\Y ith neatness and taste combined, on every
sfce,
pThen, water pure, both from well and spring
And plenty of it, would be just the thing.
Then, stables aud barns for stock and grain
Should raise their roofs above the plain,
With coops for poultry, of tasty design;
A vineyard of grapes, to yield its wine;
A lisli pond, well stockejj with perch and trout,
Where the geese and ducks might paddle about
Horses, fat and sleek, for saddle and drive,
And mules to plow the fields, aud thrive
On the barn’s rich store they helped to grow,
What else would you wish, I’d like to know?
THE ONE THING LACKING.
“There is one thing lacking In all your plan,
That last best gift, from God te man;
Without her, your picture is not complete,
Your farm, your house, your comfort,all a cheat;
But “hang her banner on the outer wall,”
Let her bonnet Gutter from Its hook in the ball,
And her voice ring in song through the house,
From the slumber of death ’twould almost arouse
The crusty old bachelor, and make him rejoice
In the musical tinkle of her fine sweet voice;
And if it belongs to the man of the mansion,
Is a part of himself, after God’s own fashion,
Flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone,
That dearer, “better half,” he can call his own.
Then, all is complete, or I am no true man,
|Tliis one things name is, woman, woman!
my honest yoeman,
la id not in fact, forget the woman,
But thought, in all things pure and good
Her presence always understood;
No is if she Is not there,
Her presence is needed everywhere !

Editor Gazette:
Please allow me space in your paper
in which I propose to show to the Re
publican party of Pike county that
Borneo Maxey has been the leader for
the party for the past several years. He
has lost his influence with the people
and they are afraid to go with him in
elections. The majority of the colored
people said to me the day of the ejec
tion they would vote with me if Maxey
was not on my side. Sol am under the
iir pression if a candidate wants to get
beat, let him come out and have Borneo
Maxey to start out to work for him and
he is as sure to get left as a man will
get drunk if he takes too much “peach”
The party do not want him for their
leader. He continues sticking himself
on the candidate to get all the sugar he
can and knowing too he is injurious to
the party. It is the duty of the party
to cut him down and let him go. For
everybody believes lie is working for
money and not for principle. It was a
rumor all over town that Maxey hud
got money for the purpose of aid
ing the election, and used it for him
self. If Maxey did do that f am sorry
for him. Poor fellow! he needed it and
will use more if he can get it between
them fingers of his, for everybody
knows he has been tried [and will net
do to trust.

Col. A. E. Lamar of the Telegraph <fc
Messenger, in answe# to Governor Col
quitt ’s vety ill-t imed and savage at t aek
at Americus, places the Governor at
quite a disadvantage. With a pen that
reminds us of Jnnius he declares that
if Governor Colquitt is correct, Lamar
has lied, and if he is correct, that the
Governor has lied and is infamous. As
the case now stands Lamar is on top.
