Mr. M. W. Rhodes was over from Louisville
visiting friends a few days ago.
A very severe wind and rain storm passed
k ovbr our town yesterday aftornoon.
Lrhe .musical and literary club will hold Its
Txt meeting at Mrs. J, F. Schaffner’s.
(The election on the fence question for this
I>unty takes place July 3d. Give us fence.
C. E. Schaffrier, one of our energetic young
rmere, has the finest corn crop we have seen.
[There is a bug which is proving very disastrous
[the growing melon vines of this community.
—Our farmers are busy laying-by corn.
—We regret to learn that Miss Jennie Palmer
is dangerously ill.
—Mr. T. J. Burton, and daughter, of Alexan
der, was in town last week.
—The children will have a party at the Acad
emy next Wednesday night.
—Prof. J. H. Roberts school will close with an
exhibition next Friday night.
—Mr. Thos. Tant, we understand, will move
his family to Sandersvllle this fall.
! —We take pleasure in acknowledging a nice
serenade from the Utah club last night.
—Mr. J. Howard Carpenter and bis sister, Miss
Sarah, of Oakland Farm, were in town Sunday
—Mrs. Wm. E. Jones left for the Sand Hills,
near Augusta, last Wednesday, to recuperate
her own and her baby’s health.
—Stepping into Dr. J. A. Polhill’s yesterday
evening, we saw an invoice of 500 pounds of tur
nip seed, comprising every standard variety-
enough it looked to us to plant Burke county and
half the world besides.
—Judge Jethro Thomas is having the store
house lately occupied by W. H. Hargraves as a
tin shop -epaired, the front of which was torn
off in a storm a few weeks ago. He is also hav
ing a fence placed on the front side of his lumber
yard on Peace street.
—We heard of men being divorced from wo
men, and women from men, but never heard of
one man wishing to get a divorce from another
until a few days ago. The plaintiff says lie will
join the matrimonial insurance as soon as he
secures the coveted papers.
—Col.John D. Munnerlyn,formerly of Savannah
and now of Waynesboro, a brother of James K.
Munnerlyn, of this city, has donated thirty acres
of land for the Fair Association.—Savannah
New*.
Yes. for about seven hundred dollars.
—Prof. Rrdgers will close the spring t«rm of
his school next Thursday. Prof. R. deserves
araise for the flourishing school he has built up
in our town, and our citizens should give him a
hearty support at the re-opening of his Septem-
bei term. The Professor expects to leave on
an extensive visit to the North after the closing
of his school.
-The attention of our readers is called to the
advertisement of Dr. W. F. Holleyman to be
found in another column to-day. Dr. H. has
just received a large stock of fine turnip and
cabbage seed. He has all the fine varieties, and
if anybody Is minus a turnip patch next winter,
it will surely not be his fault. Be certain and
read his advertisement.
—During the rain last Saturday evening a
peach tree, standing in the corner of the fence,
on Mr. F. F. Cates plantation, was struck by
lightning, which killed at least one fourth of an
acre of cotton. Strange to say, where the elec
tric current struck the ground, the land being
marshy, it knocked the mud up w tk such force
as to strip the tree entirely of leaves.
—Old man Redd, living near the Scrlven line,
aged about 60 years, going to mill last week, met
a Mr. Griffin in the road, who asked him how lie
liked his son’s crop, which he had just passed.
Old man RCdd replied that he liked it very well,
but that young Griffin had a new mode of culti
vation—he worked his crop and rested his land
at the same time, as it was rounded while the
middles were grassy and full of weeds, old
man Griffin told his son what had been said, and
young Griffin waylaid old man Redd on ids way
from mill and “went for him” with a pole. Old
man Redd used ins knife freely and cut young
Griffin in seventeen places. He is not expected
to live.
—In another column will be found the adver
tisement of Dr. J. A. Polhill. We have several
times called attention to the Dootor’s stock.
Sometimes we have done so in noticing his ad
vertisement,, aud sometimes because he deserved
commendation for both the quality and quantity
of his goods. Physiolans from the coun ry can
*-ave railroad fare and freights by buying from
Dr. P., and experience has learned us that his
drugs are always fresh and good, and may be
relied upon. A good drug store is of greater
importance than a good grocery store, for while
one can live awhile on poor groceries, bad drugs
help to kill the patient. When vou want pure
drugs, go to Polnill’s.

On Tnesd ty there was a large attend
anoeat the meeting of the Agricultural
Association of Burke. The report of
here will be services iu the Baptist church the Committee, that they had bought
and paid for the grounds heretofore used
os a trotting park, was received an<J
adopted. The constitution and by-laws
were also repor ed and adopted. The
constitation declares that the object, of
the Association is the development of
the agricultural, mechanical and mine
ral resources of this section. One of
the by laws declares, that while speed
shall be encouraged by liheral premi
ums, lor pacing, trotting and running,
no betting will be allowed on the
grounds Tho punishment for betting
is a fine of double the amount wagered,
and on refusiog or failing to pay
the fine, the member shall be ex
pelled from the Association. Many of
i he members increased their subscrip
tions from $20 to $500. Ihe 6th, 7th
and 8th of December were designa ed
as the time for the first exposition of the
Association The President announced

'the country should not be disturbed bv rOinui
_Tg political canvass. The crop outlook is
pxeoediugly flattering, and. an abundant yield is

Pref Such a plan is not an acknowledgement
|iut organization is not best. By no means,
it that in Burke at this time it will ho hotter to
Ivo a go-as-you-please raco. We believe it will
ffeure ns a bettor representation. It will surely
Jay excitement.. A little policy when no prln-
Jlfplo Is sacrificed is tho true rule of success.
The Independent feeling in this section is fast
dying out, let us he careful and not revive it
We need a good representation iu the Legisla

The committee on Premiums were Re
quested to report as booh us possible te
tho Bound of Direo ors. aud we learn
that the list will be printed and ciicula-
ted at an early day. A new street is
being opened from the town to tho ex
position grounds. A good lenee and
substantial buildings are soon to be
erected, and that everything will be in
readme s by 'he 6th of December next
we have not the slightest doubt Wo
lenru further from the management that
they will have little troub’e in raising
nil the money neodebut that it is
their earnes desire that every main in
the county shall he a stockholder—then
they will not fail to feel a proper jutor-
o t in the enterprse. This ’ is thought
spirit, and we sincerely hope the w*sb-
may boo msurumated. The object of the
Association is tho development *nd im-
provement,j).$our grand old ooanty, the
A TERRIBLE HOMICIDE.
Another terrible deed of blood has
been perpetrated in our county—an
other bloody page has been added to
the history of crime of the colored
people of Burke. On last Saturday
evening, about 6 o’clock, Jim Jones
stabbed Alfred Cooper, both colored,
so terribly that he died in five min
utes. The circumstances, as develop.-,
ed by the testimony on the commit
ment trial are about as follows: Some
two weeks ago, Clara, the wife of Jones,
sold Cooper a puppy for a chicken,
which Cooper failed to pay at the
time the contract for the puppy was
made. On Wednesday of last week,
Clara approached Cooper, and dunned
him for the chicken. A dispute or
brawl occurred in which Cooper
knocked or shoved the woman down.
Her husband, Jim Jones, who was
present, picked up a hoe which was j
near, and struck Cooper a terrible
Mow on the head, inflicting a con
siderable scalp wound. The men were
separated, that difficulty ended there.
During the next two days Cooper
made more than one attempt to get
satisfaction for the blow on his head,
but Jim kept out of his way. On
Saturday evening Jones and Cooper
were in town, and met about the
middle of Mr. W. McCathern’* store,
when Cooper struck at Jones with a
loaded hickory stick. Jones dodged
the stick, and drawing a very com
mon pocket knife, delivered several
terrible blows in rapid succession, one
taking effect in Cooper’s right breast
just ! elow the nipple, making a
ghastly wound, aud another cutting
Cooper’s jaw open from bis ear to his
chin. Cooper fell to the floor, but
arose and walked out of the frout door
of the store, and some six or eight
feet up the pavement, where he fell
again and expired in five minutes.
Jones ran out of the store, but was
captured by Deputy Marshal McCroan
and lodged iB jail. The preliminary
trial came on for a hearing before
Ji^tice W. S. Godbee on Wednesday,
occupying the whole day in taking
the testimony, and was argued Thurs
day morning. The Slate was repre
sented by T. D. Oliver, Esq , who did
his whole duty ablv and well, while
the prisoner was defended by Col. J.
J. Jones and Hon. H. H. Perry with
their well-known skill in the law.
After a day and a half’s patient hear
ing Justice Godbee bound the de
fendant over to the next term of the
Superior Court, fixing the bond at
$100 lor the crime of voluntary man
slaughter. Jones has, we learn, given
the bond and been released from jail.
T V nttornoys on both sides did their
du x skillfully and well, while Justice
Godb-o deserves commendation for
his path xt hearing, close attention an I
careful ru \ng during this long and
intricate in ’estimation.
we inquired for our friends of the first
one we met. To our satisfaction we
found Mr. Gay in his store near by, (by-
the-way, he is a handsome young baeh-
lor, and on the lookout for a better
half,) and making ourself known was
taken charge of by\him and made to
feel at home, and displayed that hospi
tality which is so natural with the Geor
gia bachelor. After a sumptuous
breakfast Mr. Gay and ourself set out
on a morning’s stroll of a couple of
miles to Palmer’s mill, where the din
ner was to occur. Arriving there, we
found the pit smoking hot and cover
ed with fat carcases, and Mr. Attaway
with mop in hand basting ihe savory
meat- and bossing the cooks, the result
later in the day proving him to be an
adept in the art of barbecuing. Here
we met Mr. Palmer, who instituted a
new series of kindnesses, and although a
perfect, stranger, we soon felt t hat we
had fallen into good hands. Soon the
company began to arrive, the crowd in
creasing until it was just large enough
to give every one a chance to be social.
The arrival of the band caused a glow to
spread oyer the faces of the young peo
ple, and taking possession of an unocc u
pied store-house, they were soon en
gaged in threading the mazy figures of
the dizzy cotilion to the strains of “mu.,
sic by the band,” while the old folks
looked on pleased to see the young peo- j
pie so happy. The day wore on, and at
aooutl o’clock dinner was announced,
and all repaired to the table under a
treat old wateroak, which groaned with
its load of luxuries ; there was enough
and to spare, though many tarried long
at the board. Dinner over, the young
pmple returned to their devotions at the
shrine of Terpsichore, while the old
men sought the shade, and lighting their
pipes discussed the political situation.
The ^ay ended, and the company dis
persed to their home feeling that they
had spent a happy day. As to our
self, we are under obligations to our
new friends for one of the most pleasant
days of our life, and shall long remem
ber the barbecue at McBean. We
made many pleasant acquaintances, la
dies as well as gentlemen, maidens as
well as matro' a, and we will be sure to
go again when the opportunity offers.

Fll E BARBECUE.
Through the kmdnesH of Messrs. Wm.
Gay, E. Newton T timer and others, we
received an invitation to attend a
friendly neighborhood barbecue at Mi-
Bean last Friday. Adopting the invi
tation as promp’ly as it was cordially
given, we escaped from the’hot confines
of our office and the drudgeM of edito-
rial work, and boarding the jj’t-before-
duy train, on Friday looming, vk roll-
,ed off for that place. Arriving r< Mo*

—On Monday morning after a ramble
through town, wo returned to our office
to find a treat there awaiting us in the
shape of a quantity of very fine vegeta
bles, from Mrs. J. A. Polhill, consisting
of snap beans, roastingcars, squash
and onions. They were not only fine,
but very tine. Again, on Wednesday,
Mrs. W. A. Wilkins sent us a present of
vegetables not to be equaled, let alone
the idea of excelling them. Beats,
weighing 41 pounds, cabbage, 41 pounds,
onions, squash, oubumbers, etc. Maj.
Wilkins b;i^ u garden ooveriug some
two or three acres, with all tho applian
ces for artificial irrigation, and all the
year round—wet or dry—he ha8 on hie
tablo the finest varieties of vegetables of
the season. Mrs. S. J. Bell will also
accept our thanks for nice vegetables;
Mrs. McCathorn, MrB. Routzahn and
Mrs. W. F. Holleyman have put us un
der obligations from time to time for
favors from their gardens. To all
these ladies wo roiurn our thauks—and
