TIiq Georgia Mail Manager in Trouble.
Eight or ten days ago a colored wo
man in the city, (who was acquainted
with General; Manager Roberts, of the
“Georgia Mail,” a Weekly paper pub
lished by colored men, also in the city,)
gave him eight dollars in silver to ex
change for greenbacks, as the paper
would he the most convenient money to
keep. Two or three days afterwards the
woman asked the Manager of the Geor
gia Mail for the return of her money,
but some excuse was made for not re
turning it, and these excuses were kept
up until Monday evening last, when-tor-
Abearance ceased to he a virtu re. and the
Geii’1 Manager of the Georgia. Mail .was
arrested and spent the night in jail.
Yesterday he was tried before Justice
Sweat for larceny after trust, and outside
parties are his bond anil securitv. Gen-
iiral Manager Roberts, of the Georgia '
Mail, says this is an attempt to black-
mail him, by a daughter of the female
prosecutor, who brings the suit in re
venge for, his having slighted her
daughter, • . .
We regret to learn that our neighbor
and contemporary is in trouble.
It Jnst Occurred to Her.
Something bad occurred to her.
“Oh, John,” she called to her
husband, as be started d,.\vn the street
“did you mail that letter I gave you
three days ago?”
“Certainly, my dear,” lie respond
ed, promptly.
“Where?"
“Let me see,” he said. “Oh, yes;
I dropped it in the first box below
here, so I’d be sure not to forget.
Why?”
“Because I thought I found it in
the pocket of the coat you left with
me this- morning to repair, and I
wanted to know certainly whether I
bad or not. Now run along to your
ofiice, and don’t worry. I gave it to
the postman.” And John ran along
to his ofiice, leaving his good wife
with a smile on her face.

An old fanner of Sumpter eonnt^

of what caused the recent panic and
in doing so snows that he knows at
least something about what he says.-
This is the way he puts its:

counties, but not so in Sumpter.”
■The trouble is we buy more tbau

bacon and flour shipped here every
year. The tilings we ought to make

“We let our timber rot and buy
ouv plow stocks, singietrees, ax han
dles, hoe handles gnd fencing,”
“We throw away our ashes and
buy soap and axle grease,”
! ‘We give away our beef hides and
buy.liamc strings and shoe strings.”
. “We let our manure go to wasts
and buy guano.”
“We buy garden seed in the spring
aud cabbage in the winter.”
“We let our lands* grow up iu
weeds arid buy our brooms.”
“We let the wax out of our piue
aud gum trees go to wos’te and buy
chewing gum for our children.”
“We build school houses and hire
teachers and send our children off to
lie educated."
“We land a five cent fishwith a $4
fisliingrod."
“We send a fifteen cent hoy out
with a $20 gun and $4 dog to kill
birds.”
“We raise dogs and buy wool.”
“And about the only thing in this
country there is an over production
of is politics and dog tics.”
“Now this will not apply to every
farmer in our county. We have
few who are farming and raising
what they did ten or fifteen years
ago, and they are doing just as well
as then.”

was singular on account of the low rate
of mortality which had prevailed, and

We scarcely know how to interpret
Surgeon Wyman’s smile. The death
rate at Brunswick, considered from past
experience, and the large proportion of
colored sick, is not so encouraging. It
is feared that the end will give less cause
for presumtion. We regrdPthat Surgeon

A Sad Episode of the Brunswick Epi

Mrs. Annie O’Conner, wife of Mr. Tom
O’Conner late of Brunswick, died at
Rochelle, Ga., night before last. The
circumstances surrounding her death are
pathetic in the extreme. Shortly after!
the yellow fever was declared epidemic
in Brunswick, Mr. O’Conner refugeed

A Slight Mistake.
The Atlanta Journal of the 20th, inst,
says “the Waycross Herald nominates
Henry G« Turner for Governor.” The
Journal makes a slight mistake. The
Herald has the name of H; G. Turner
at its masthead for Senator. Mr.
Turner is not a candidate for Governor,
bnt is more than likely to be one of the
next Senators from Georgia.

himself here Thursday night.
He came to Atlanta several days ago
to visit friends. Evidently lie compro
mised himself in some way while under
the influence of liquor. Thursday night
he was taken to the Kimball bouse and
a friend and policeman accompanied him
to a room. Ciiivbt was on the-verge of
delirium tremens. He tried to cut his
throat with a razor, but it was taken
from him.. Later he made a dash for a
window and was half way out when he
was caught and pulled in. A close
watch is being kept on him. The par
ties who were with him absolutely re

one of the saddest cases, traceable
to the terrible epidemic. Would she
have remained at home the probability
that she would be living to-day.
Annie O’Conner was formerly Annie
McCrary, and in the days of her child
hood the writer knew her well. She
was one of the sweetest children we ever
met, and in her womanhood ,she was
less lovely. §he was our litte friend
7n girlhoods halcyon days. We loved
the child and our sympathy goes out to
the bereaved ones to-day. We mourn
with them who mourn the loss of their
loved one.
I)r. Frank H. Harris Accidently Shoots
Himself on St. Simons—The
Wound Considered Very
Dangerous.
Col. Frank II. Harris of Brunswick,
accidently shot himself this a. m. on St.
Simon*. Just us he was going to get aboard
the steamer at Ocean Pier his pistol fell
from his pocket and was accidently dis
charged. The ball entering the right
check, breaking the cheek bone—sever
ed'artery in temple and lodging in top of
his head. The doctors consider it a
ery dangerous wound.
Farmer and Newspaper Man.
Many men think that newspaper men
arc presistent dunners. By way of com
parison* let us suppose that a farmer
raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a vearj and
sells this to 1,000 persons in all parts of
the country, a great portion of them say
ing, “I will hand you a dollar in a short
time.” The farmer does not want, to be
small and says: “All right.” Soon the
1,000 bushels are gone but he has noth"
ing to show for it, "and he then realizes
that be has fooled away his whole crop
and its value to him is due him in a
thousand little driblets, consequently he
is seriously embarrased in his business,
because the debtors, each owing him $1,
treat it as a small matter and think it
would, not help much. Continue this
kind of business year in and year out as
the publisher does, how long would he
stand it ? A moment’s thought will con
vince anyone that a publisher has
cause for presistent dunning. -
Another Accident on St. Simon*?.
Rev. H. E. Lucos, Episcopal Rector
of ?t. Marks church, at Brunswick, was
thrown from a -carriage on St. Simons
yesterday and slightly injured.
Columbus Outdone.
Columbus Outdone, is the title of a
well illustrated book of 200 pages, just

tures of Capt William A. Andrews, In
his trip across the ocean in a boat 14|
feet long, and aptly cailed.tke “Supolio”
because she “'scoured the seas!” The
preface claims that “the example of in
telligent daring is never lost on the
woild,” and’ that “four-fifths of the so-
called dangers of life are trifles if met
with courage, resolution and common
sense.”
