Sweat, died Bl her home near Fayetteville on Tuesday last, after a short illness. Her remains were -interred at Prospeet on -the following day. We are deeply parned to announce the •death of Miss .Lula Wilson, which occurred at Devereaux.Ga., on Monday last. She •tad many friends in Hampton, who will be ■greatly shocked to hear of her death. The cold chain of life preeseth heavily upon some poor weary souls, and the sins of uritrue hearts clog up the air passages of the world ; but there’ll be just as much suffering all the same, as long as the green apple sea 6ob lasts.' Mr. Dorsktt, b piominrnt merchant ol Fairburn, has bought the brick building now occupied by A. Glaser as a store, and will cnjnmenae business here early in the Fall.

A. J. Henderson. The Atlanta Dispatch notices the death in that city, art Sunday evening last, of Rev Alexander Clarke, D D.. a noted divine of Pittsburg, Pa., and editor of the Methodist Protestant. Dr. Clarke assisted in dedient- I ing the M P. Church at this place lust i summer, mid made quite a favorable impres sion upon our people during his stay. We have resumed our labors, after a week's recreation, and feel so much improved that nothing less than a twenty-five pound watermelon could entice us horn our duties. (We might stop long enough to collect two dollars from a delinquent subscriber, pio vided lie was accompanied by a basket of peaches. The peaches would have to be goal, though ) Rev R. F. Buchanan, of Jonesboro, has agreed to preach at Hampton on the second Sabbath in each month, and was to make his first visit on next Tabb.th, but.we have been nquested to announce that he cannot fill his appointment on that day, owing to providential causes. This will be a serious disappointment to our Baptist friends, and we trust nothing may recur to prevent him | from keeping his engagements in future. Pink Drove Lodor No 177. F. A.

We regret to learn of the illness of Rev. R. W. Rogers, at the residence of his father in Upson county,. Mr. E O. Ham opened the Fall session of his school on lasi Monday, with a fine at tendance of pupils. The adjourned term of Butts Superior Coart suspended on last Tuesday for non-at tendance of the legal fraternity.

The burning of ibe Panola Mills, owned by Col. Robert Clarke, oo the northern boundary of the county, will be a serious loss to that community and the hands who have been thrown out of employment. On last Snnday morning a week ago the stables and out-houses of Mr. John Maxwell were discovered to be oo fire. He succeeded in saving his stock, but the buildings were completely destroyed. The fire was sup posed to be the lesult of cardcasucsa in ling matches by some of the work hands or children on the place. Several days ago, in the eastern part of the county, a most dastardly attempt to perpetrate un outrage upon the person of a young white woman was made by a black fiend named Dreer. Being foiled in his hell ish designs by the courageous defense of th woman, and fearing detection and capture, lie hastily tied to parts unknown. We hope the infamous scoundrel will soon be caught up with ui.d full justice meted out to him A most distressing occurrence happened about oue-half mile east of this place on Wednesday of last week. Mr. Robert Dor ton, an old resident of this county, was the prime actor in the unfortunate affiir. He bad been laboring under mental aberration for some time, but not to such an extent as to alarm his friends. Rising from the break fast table on the morning of the day stated above, he informed his wife that it was the last meal lie would eat with her, and gearing up his mule went to the field to plow. About 10 o clock his son, who was workiog near by, mi-sed him, and upon investigation found that he had entered a very thick swamp at the lower part of the field. Making his way through the briers and underbrush in the direction his lather weut, he had almost des poiled finding him, when, upon turning into the darkest aud densest portion of the thicket, he came suddenly upon the body of hif hither hanging from a willow sapling It seems that he hud taken his plow-line, and climbing up into the tree, carefully ad justed the noose and deliberately hung him- | self. The coroner was immediately notified, a jury empanneled, arid a verdict rendered in accordance with the above facts. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss. His remains were interred at Locust Drove on the iollowing day. Hxcessiye Heat and improper lood at this season of the vear may speedily carry you to the grave.
