Tomlinson, with the assistance •f his two little boys, aged 8 and 11 respec tively, picked out a bale of cotton in five days recently. W hen we remember that Mr. I'omlinson has hot one hand, the disad vantages he labored under will De readily •ten and appreciated. A man, named Joe Hardy, residing near Stack, was arrested, tried and convicted in Butts Superior Court last weA for horning Mr. Sam Btrber’s gin- honse, and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. If all such offenders were as summarily dealt with, gin house burnings would be less frequent. B. W. Dorsktt takes possession of hie •tore (Glaser’* old stand) to.day, and will commence at once to unpack his immense stock of goods, which has in most part arrived.

Mr. W. P. Nash m*t with a serious accident one day last week. He was at work at Turnipsecd’s gin, about three miles from town, and in trying to adjust some part of the machinery that had gotten out of order, his foot slipped ooder the gin, was esnght by the rapidly whirling saws and the flesh literally torn from his leg. laying the bone bare for scvernl inches. Br. Peebles thinks it will be two or three months before he is able to walk. J. T. Bright has leased the *toie at pres ent occupied by H. P. Mclntosh, and on Monday next will open a If st-class boot and shoe store. His stock, winch has already arrived, is quite large, and will embrace everything kept in that line, including leather, shoe findings, and many articles that we haven’t space here to mention. A special feature of the business will be a sad dlery and harness department, and we have no doubt it will prove remanerative. We wish the gentlrman much success. A vest distressing accident occurred out two miles from towfi, on the Locust Grove road, last Friday afternoon. Mrs 8 H. Griffin, in company with a little son, was returning from a visit to a neighbor, wheo the horre they were driving became fright ened and tan away, throwing her to the ground and inflicting serious injuries. In addition to a terrible gash in the cheek, she received serious internal injuries, Irom which it i* feared she will not recover. Her con dition is quite critical, with but small hope of improvement. Mr. Job Hem., a worthy farmer residing near New Salem Church, Spalding county, bad bis band and arm terribly crushed by the machinery of J. H. Elder’s steam gin last Wednesday. He was standing near one of the pulleys, which was going at full speed, when by some awkward movement or mischance his sleeve got canght in the running gear and was.drawn, with bis baud and arm, be tween the belt and wheel, inflicting the irjories described above. Dr. Peebles was sent for immediately, who, after a careful examination, 4 found it necessary to ampn- , tate the limb, which he did successfully. ! The wounded mao was doing very well at j last accounts. It was our privilege and pleasure to bb in attendance on tlie annual singing conven tion at I'iriah last Sunday,- and ore -do not remember to hove ever 'spent' a day more pleasantly."

Mrs. Levi Cloud was severely attacked on last Monday morning with laryngetis, and came near suffocating, but by the prompt attention of Br. L. M. Tye was soon re lieved. On last Thursday morning, near Worth ville, a negro man by the name of Fsrtb Jones was killed by Felix Stnrghlll, colored. From the facte, as we learn them, it appears that a dispute arose between them while they were at work in a field, when B'nrgliill threw a rock at Jones, striking him on the head, from the efleets of which he died tn a few hours. Sturghill has fled the country. Os last Sunday, about 10 o'clock r. u., a man by the name of Benjamin Wiggins was shot and killed by Wm. Parr, of this county, about eight miles north of McDonough. The evidence opon the coroner’s inquest discloses that Wiggins was following Parr at the timp, brandishing bis knife and threatening to cut him Parr had retreated frem the road into his yard, and while attempting to fasten bis gats wss attacked by Wiggins, who threw the gate partially open and made a blow at him with the knife. Just at the moment of assault Parr fired the fatal shot, the ball entering the left breast and killing Wiggins instantly. The coroner, Mr. John Boatner, was promptly notified, and repair ing to the spot held ao inquest over the body. A jury composed of some of our best citizens, with Judge T. H.
