The True Citizen. WAYNESBORO, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 88, 1882 Bntered at the post office at Waynesboro, Ua., 4t« uecond claws matter. “ The Survival of the. /•Went.' roit oovisiiNOK HON. A . H . 8 TBPHBNS, OF TALIAFERRO. FOR CONGRESSMAN AT LA ROB HON. THOS. HARDEMAN, OF BIBB. LET THEM EXPLAIN AND DEFEND. If there he anything which should he held sacred, it is a solemn trust committed to our hands by those who confide in our honor, integrity and good faith. And particularly is this so in political affairs. When the people appoint agents to execute their will, and those agents delibe rately betray the trust confided to their keeping and guardianship, surely they should he held to u strict and rigid accountability. The De mocracy of Burke, assembled in mas* meeting, after reflection, and an al most unanimous vote, instructed their delegates to the late gubernato rial convention to vote for Stephens and the two~thirds rule. They did Vote for Stephens, but did not vote h r the two-thirds rule an sent and instructed to do. Whether thfa rule be wise or unwise is not the question. The Democracy of Burke declared in its favor, and commissioned these gentlemen to express their con trie- tions and wishes on the subject.— These delegates betrayed their trust, and outraged the confidence reposed in them. What have they to say in vindication? Will the head of that delegation tell us the particulars of bis conference with Gov. Colquitt on the subject, ami how he influenced hi» associates by telling them he would take the responsibility, and make it all right with the Democracy of Burke ? Shall this new departure be tolerated by Democrats, and a precedent be established which will leave the party at the mercy of pre sumptuous and reckless agents ? "We heartily endorse the remarks of onr brother of the Herald on this subject, at least. WB DEO YOUR INDULGENCE. It is with the utmost chagrin that we offer onr readers a mere apology for a paper this week; but the hand of afflic tion has been very heavy upon us for more than a week, and the work which required the united efforts of three good hands was left for one hand to do—and he enfeebled by a severe attack of fe ver. This Las been the situation, and for this we beg your indulgence, and we eannot believe that a single one of our readers will censure ub when he knows these facts. We not only do not intend that The Citizen shall fall oft' in in terest, but are perfecting our arrange ments to make it a complete expositor of the local news of the county. Al ready have wc, under the greatest diffi culties and unfair opposition, accom plished much, The Citizen is fast be coming a necessity to the people of Burke county, and those who attempt to stop its onward movement must get out of the way, or he run over— that’s all. Thanks to the powers of quinine and Dr. Polhill’s eyewater, we are all convalescing, and hope to he able next week to resume our usual form and filling. Ucphzibah Dots. —Mrs- J.

We understand oue of them was selling ice to imaginary customers in his dreams, while the other fellow drove the horse in sil ence humming, “Are you tired of me d-a-r-l-isn-g.” We sympathize. —We have seen several complaint* of gnat sin our exchanges, which brings us to notice that in town and country, field or brake, there are swarms and myriads of them in tlii* section, which have become a terrible plague. It is really amusing to see two citizens meet and pause for a few minutes conversation, when off comes each hat. not in aesthetic polite ness, but as a weapon of self defense, when a regular brushing match takes place. Oh, the gnats J the terrible gnats ! —A warrant was issued on the 23d inst., for Hood Williams, Lee Mims and Madison Jackson, all colored, for breaking into the house of Wm. Weaver also colored, near Lawtonville. Madison Jackson was arre-ted and committed to jail. The other two are still at large. Weaver had been selling watermelons, and had a small amount of money, for which the burglars were searching, hut after breaking open Lis trunk they got nothing.

Johnson being call ed irqcould detect no symptom of disease. Friday morning after picking his nose until it bled, he earefully preserved every drop of the saguinary fluid by wiping it on his «leovo, and when the jailor entered he found the jajhawker stretched on his pallet industriously chewing a corner of his blanket, while every fey minutes he would have an ar tificial convulsion. Dr, Duncan waa called to see him, but again failed to discover any sign of disease. The doc tor, however, concluded to apply the fire test, which he did by touching the “rooster” up with the lighted end of his cigar, and it would have done you good to have seen “terrapin crawl.” He would immediately resume his convul sive state and pose, and so continues.— In our opinin it is a case which “plant ation hitters” would effect a speedy cure, and we advise its vigorous impli cation. — Mr. Thomas Cross while return ing from a fishing party, near Mid- ville, with his mother and two of her children in a buggy was crossing a bridge composed of slabs and pieces of refuse plank, his horse stepped upon a piece of plank in such a manner as to cause it to fly up and stick some seven or eight inches into the horse’s abdomen. The horse maddened with pain, began to kick terribly, and while kicking struck his little sister, Fannie, a tremendu- ou* blow over the eye with his heels, crushing in the skull so badly that the child’s brains ran down over her face and in her mothers lap while being carried home.
