From a gentleman who was in town this
week we learn that on Monday night last
the gin-house of Mr. S»m Barber, at Stark,
Butts county, was destroyed by fire, together
with a new gin and pres®. It was evidently
the work of an incendiary, and sospieion is
directed toward a certain party in the neigh
borhood as being the culprit, and it is hoped
that he may get a hearing before Judge
Speer, who is presiding this week in the
Superior Court of that county.
We shall have a word or two to say in

vantages arising from an extension of this
great highway throngh Henry coanty can
not now be properly appreciated. It will
open up a region of country hitherto desti
lute of railroad facilities, and will tbu® serve
to enrich the people along its line We feel
sure that a large raijority of our people
heartily indorse the action of the Legislature
in passing the bill.

A negro named Sara Adams, residing on
Mr. George Combs’ place, near Locust
Grove, came to bis death in a most horrible
manner last Saturday. He had been engaged
to do some blasting in a well or, the premises,
and about l o’clock on the day mentioned
started down wiih the intention of com
mencing work. When within fifteen or
twenty feet jtmlfc ~
current of foul air, and immediately cried |
out for help. A rope was lowered in a few
seconds, hot before it reached him he was
overcome by the noxious vapor, Rnd fell to
the bottom Fully half an hour elapsed
before his body was recovered, which was
finally accomplished by means of a grapnel,
attached to n rope. When brought to the
surface life was found to be extinct, and the
supposition is that he died almost instantly.
In order to test the matter thoroughly a
chicken was lowered into the well shortly
afterwards, and it died ir. less than a minute.
Hampton.
As the busy season approaches, our mer
chants and business men generally ore hnsily
engaged in preparing for it. This is evident
to the most casual observer, if be will but
glance at what has been done, nod is now
doing, in our little city.
Firstly. Hampton is far ahead ol any
town on the Macon and Western Rnilroad
in the way of improvements. These are seen
on every hand, nnd they are of sneh a char
acter as will result in solid benefit not only
to the immediate citizens of the place, but to
those who bring their prodnee and trade
here. It gi ves an air of solidity nnd per
manency, in a business view, which of itself
is an evidence that our town is steadily
growing in commercial importance.
Secondly. The 11.460 bales of cotton
received here last year speak more in onr
favor as a market than all that might be
written in these columns. Farmers soon
find out which is the best market, and there
they will go, even though it may be a little
out of the way. Hampton has conclusively
demonstrated that she can handle any
amount of the staple, and pay ns much (or
more.) ns any other town in Middle Georgia.
These two propositions are of themselves
sufficient to commend Hampton to the trad
ing public; but there are other claims,
which need only he alluded to. Her mer
chants are clever and accommodating, and
have gained a reputation for reliability and
honesty that will win for them the confidence
and respect of the people everywhere.
All we ask is a trial. Come to our town
and bring what you have to sell, and we are
sure prices will be satisfactory.
This much we say—and it is far front
enough—in favor of onr growing and enter
prising little city.
