A personal inspection of their stork convinces ns that they speak truthfully in their advertisement, which may he found elsewhere in this paper, and to a careful reading of which we invite special attention. It is with a feeline ol sincere regret that we announce the death of Mies Florence Pound, which occurred on Monday last, at her home near Indian Springs, after a brief illness. She was a most lovable young lady, jast budding into womanhood, and the sad annosneement ol her death will send a paog of grief to many a loving heart. A band of gypsies pitched tents near town lait Tuesday, just outside the corporate limits, and are exciting considerable curiosity —several of onr c’tiaens having visited the camp for the purpose of inquiring into the occult mysteries of the future.

J. B. McDaniel k Go. Sept 27th, 1*79. While in Hampton this week we called on our old friend, James Bledsoe, at D. B Bivins' store. Jim is doing a fine business, and has a host of Butts county friends, who will always call on him when they want a good trade. Jim is a fine business man, and we congratulate those who may have the good fortune to deal with him.— Butte Co. Argue. It to currently reported that Thomas McNair, who killed a man named Hardy at Worthville last winter, and who has since that time been a fugitive from justice, was arrested last week near Macon and lodged in jail. If the report bo true, (and we hope it is) the gay and festive Me. will soon re tire to the shade* of prison life, where he can repent at leisure the murderous deed which has made him an outlaw, and make peace with his conscience on his own terms. Wr leain that Wm. Parr, the man who shot and killed Benjamin W iggins several days ago, gave himself into the custody of the officer* for an investigation. A large Dumber of the citiEena in that part of the county met at Peacbstone Sboals on last Tuesday, where it was announced a court of no disposition on the part of any one to prosecute the matter, and the court being satisfhd that there w.s not sufficient evi dence to authorise them to convict the de fendant, he was discharged from cut ody. M■. Jor Bmx. who was to terribly man gled at the stfnm gin of Mr. John Klder. in Spalding county, died on Saturday night last, in great agony. Our first, infermatlop was to the effect that he would probably rpcoe.r. We learned subsequently. however, that hia wounds were of a more character than we di-scrilwd, from the *ff-cts of which he died as above stated. Dr Bank*, of Griffin, assisted Dr. Preble* in amputating the wounded limb. We should have men timed this fnot lost week, but inadvertently omitted it. The deceased wo* highly es teemed in the community in which he lived, and his sad d- atb is deeply deplored by all. Our community wns shocked lasi week by the sad announcement of the death of Ben nie Spearman, eldest son of Mrs R. T. Harper, which occurred at Dawsoo, On , on the 17*h inst, of typhoid fever. Gifted, honorable and high-toned, be was possessed of nil the elements ol true manhood, and had lie lived, would have exemplified these traits in a career as bright ts it would hnve been useful. Though young, he had many friends among those of older growth, who fonnd much to admire in his genial nntnre and cultured manner, and his death will be uni versally icgictti-d. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family, and es pecially to the sorrowing, grief-stricken mother, and pray that the same Hand which smote will carry balm to their wound*d hearts. For the information of their friends, we append hereto a list of the sahsmen who have made business engagements in Hamp ton for the season, and by whom employed : WO.
