An ugly altercation occurred here on last

which resulted in the stubbing of Welch in
four or five places Tbe wounds are con
sidered serious, hut not dangerous. This is
the third cutting frolic in which lie has been
engaged during the last five years. He is a
hard working, industrious man, but is cursed
with a most ungovernable temper.
T'hehr is much concern manifested
throughout this section over the extension of
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad. The
Bdl having been confirmitl in the Senate with
the House amend nents has now become a
law, and only uwaits the Governor’s indorse
ment. Various surmises are made us to the
probable route. Of course the direct exten
sion will go somewhere through the central
portion of our county. This distance is
estimated at from seventy-five to eighty
miles, which gives us some hope to think
that the road will not miss us very lar. Our
people are delighted even at the prospect ol
the new road, and no one questions its util
ity, both local and general. With a railroad
running centrally through our county, it
would become one of the best and most
prosperous sections in the State.
A Cyclopedia for SIO.OO.
Perhaps the most remarkable literary en
terpri.-e of the time is the publication of the
Library ol Universal Knowledge, in 20 vol
umes ol nearly 1.000 pages each, handsomely
bound, for 50 cents per volume, or $lO 00
for the set. It is a reprint entire of tbe last
(1879) Edinburgh and London edition of
Chambers’ Encyclopedia : A Dictionary of
Universal Knowledge for tbe People, with
very large additions upon topics of special
interest to A merican readers. The amount
of matter will somewhat exceed that of the
Cyclopedias of Appleton or Johnson, though
the price is but a tract ion of their cost Vol
ume one is to be ready early in September,
and the others will follow at very short in
tervals. The ri markable low prices ure ac
counted for by the method of sale, to the
subscribers direct, saving them the large
commission, often 50 or 60 per cent., paid
to agents or dealers; also, by the recent
great reduction in the cost of making books,
and oy making large sales. This certainly
is a work that tbe millions will appreciate.
Special inducements are offered to early sub
scribers and to clubs
The same publishers have recently issued
editions of Chambers’ Cvclopedia of English
Liturature, 4 vols., $2 00. formerly sold in
2 vols, for $9 00; also, Rollins’ Ancient
History and Josephus’ Works, large type
editions, for $2.25, and Smith’s Bible Dic
tionary, 81.00.
They also publish, in August and Septem
ber, tbe Ancient Library of Biography, 12
vole, and the Acme Library of Modern
Classics, 9 vols, tbe former at 35 cents and
the latter at 50 cents per vol. In these *e
rieg are presented such authors as Carlyle,
Macnulay, Gibbon. Goldsmith, Lamartine.
