Last Saturday morning the little village of Finchersville, Butts county, near the line of Henry, was the scene of a very sad and distressing accident. While out at target practice with several friends, Mr. W T alter Welch, a most exemplary young man, accidental ly shot himself with a Smith & Wes son pistol, 38 caliber. The ball en tered the left breast just under the nipple. Medical assistance was imme diatel called in, but it was soon dis covered that lie was beyond the aid of human agencies, aud death ensued the night following. Mr. Welch was only twenty-four years of age ; was held in high esteem by all with whom he came in contact. He leaves a young wife to mourn his untimely death.

If you want to borrow mon ey call to see me before you make any arrangements. G. G. Weems, McDonough, Ga. Oct. 12th 92. Bitten By a Supposed Mad Dog. Mr. Uel McGarrity, a prosperous farmer living five or six miles east of McDonough, on last Saturday eveuing after fiuishirig supper, went out to the well to get his pipe preparatory to tak ing a smoke before retiring for the night. On starting to re-enter the house he was badly frightened, and justly so, by feeling a powerful dog grasp him by the leg, sinking his gleaming fangs deep into the quivering flesh. He at once reached down and grasped the dog by the throat endeavoring to choke him off, and at the same time crying out for a negro that lived on the place to come to his assistauce. The negro failing to hear, or, hearing, failing to respond to the call, Airs. AlcGarricy, having arrived upon the scene, grasped the stock of an old gun aud struck the dog with all her might, knocking him aloose from her husband and felling him to the ground, lut before the finishing blows could be administered the dog sprang up and away in the darkness. Fearing the dog might have been suffering from hydrophobia, Air. Alc- Garrity came immediately to town and had his wounds dressed. On Sunday he left for Fairburn to test the wonder ful virtues of the mad stone possessed by Dr. Tidwell, of that place. When applied, we have been informed, the stone adhered to the wounds for sev ! eral hours. | Although Air. AlcGarrity’s family and friends are somewhat uneasy, still the idea is entertained by them that the dog was not suffering from the rabbies. Where the dog came from or to whom he belonged is not known. Christmas Chimney. The committees appointed from the different Sunday Schools to consult to gether aud arrange for a union enter tainment, have decided to hold on Christmas eve night at Institute I Hall, and as an innovation propose that, instead of the conventional Christmas tree, they have a “Christmas Chim ney,” each brick of which will contain dainty confections aud tid-bits so dear to the hearts and palatable to the tastes of the children. Every scholar who has I had his or her name on the roll the present year will receive one brick. No presents will be received for dis ! tribution. Besides this, other new and entertaining features that have Dot yet been made public will lie introduced, making it an interesting an enjoyable occasion to both old and young.

N o clip the following complimentary notice of Henry's able representative from at* article in last Monday's Con stitution. 11 ague of the county of Henry, is j vice chairman of the committee on rail roads and with the many railroad bills that have come up in the present house ! it is not difficult to see that he has had a conspicuous place in the committee service. Those big bills of Major bacon's which have just passed the house and gone to the senate for actiou, have brought out all the effort and ability of members of the committee in their consideration and adjustment. Reagan is one of the shrewdest young members of the house and while he never rushes into the debates with any haste, yet when be is or.ee there he makes the minutes couut. The welfare of Henry county is in safe hands. A Deserved Compliment. ihe Thomaston Times, speaking of the advantages of the school at that place, pays this deserved compliment to the talented wife of geuial Jim Coch rane, who is well known to quite a number of our readers : “Mrs. Coch rane, nee Miss Annie Sanford, makes a specialty of the piano and violin, though she teaches on numerous other instruments. She begau to compose music at 12 years of age, and has a number of pieces out, some of which have been through throe editions. Though only 22 years old she has al ready had a request for her biography from the author of “1,000 Celebiatud Women.” .Mrs Cochrane modestly declined to have her life so rccer.tlv begun placed by the lives of women, some of whom have been celebrated longer than she bus lived. The Lam hert Institution, which receives noth iug hut talent of the highest order, gladly opened its doors to this south ern genius, and she was offered apo sition to play in concerts before she had been in New York three weeks. Critics will say that such talent in a town is a “fairy story.” It is a love story, for Mr. Cochrane chooses to do business in Thomaston, and if he chose a job in central Africa, she would go there and serenade the wdd birds and him.” To be Mai .led.
