pleasant aequfli' tanee in the person
of Mr. Wni, Chandler, of the 64th
district.* Though the frost of time
had touched the head of Mr. Chan
dler. and left some “silver threads,”
Jto declared he did not feel over 21
year.s old. The fact is, he docs not
ihiyk it is “good for man to live
; lobe,” arid i« looking out for some
“sweet sixteen” to share the abund
ance with which Providence has
blessed him, and if any of our young
ladies prefers to be “he an old man’s
dar'ing” instead of “a young man’s
slave;” a note to Girard will meet
with prompt attention, Mr, C. an
nounces himself a positive candidate
for matrimony, nnd the young lady
who deGres to be mistress of the finest
plantation in Burke county, would do
well t'> let it he known-immediately.
Land is lio object, as he has plenty
imd to spare, yet a good Scruggs
p'aniation would not be rejected.

ANOTHER DEED OF BLOOD. j
The colored peope of Burke county j
seetn determined to keep up their repu
tation as a people of blood. Another
attocious and shookin murder was com
mitted on the plantation ot Mr. T. P.
Branch, in this county, on Thursday,
the particulars of which, as far as we
have been able to gather them, about as
follows: Moses Owens and David
Collins, both colored, had had a falling
out about a woman, when Collins hap
pened to pass the field on Thursday ia
which Owens was at work, and went
towards him, evidently with the inten
tion of haying a diffidulty. When Ow
ens saw Collins approaching he picked
up a piece of fence rail to defend him
self, but Collins, with open knife, rush
ed upop him with such terrible impetu
osity that Owens had not time to strike,
a;,d receiving a ghastly wound in his
breast, dropped the rail and fled. Col
lins pur.-ued him, cutting him at every
step, Owens begging for mercy, until he
fell and expired at the feet of his slay
er. Collins was promptly arrested and
carried before S. Wyatt, N. P., who
committed him, and on Friday he was
brought here by Constable James Wha
ley, and lodged in jail to await his trial
at the N ovember terra of the Superior
Court. It is one of the most malicious,
coldblooded murders that has ever
come under our observation, and the
gallows is sure of its victim.

—Mr. Charlie Weigle. of the A ugun-

Our friend Wm. Gay, of the firm of Gay &
Miller, lias formed a new partnership by taking
unto himself, matrimonially, one of Augusta’s
fair daughters. We ha^not yet had the plea
sure of meeting the happy pair, but they say
•‘they ar 5 Gay and pretty too. They both look! ray, Col. S. J. Bell nnd Mr. W. iL.

to them our warmest friendship, wishing them a
long life and many—many blessings,
We understand Miss S. E. Evans 1 as arrived in
the neighborhood, and was gladly welcomed
back by friends, patrons and pup is. We learn
she is on business pertaining to her school—the
evection of a new school house proposed by her
patrons and friends. Miss E. is a thorough going
educator. The deportment of the young chil
dren, morally, or otherwise, so conspicuously
noticed within the two short terms, bespeaks
for her sufficient praise. We attended the cios"
ing exercises of her last term sometime since at
Palmer’s Mill, but wid not comment on recita
tions, etc., for fear of exposing our dulness. Our
attention was attracted by the neat naraphana-
lia of some poor, fatherless children, without
means; upon inquiry I found out from others
that the Christian, charitable Miss F. bad taken
the money from her own pockets to procure
them. Another instance came to our personal
knowledge where she went to an indignant
father and mother ta try and induce thorn to
send their children to school, which is a public
one. They plead poverty. She offered to give
them a change of clothing and two meals per
day ’ree of charge ; but they seemed to soorn-
fully spurn the idea. It reminded me of an old
stage drivers remark, who drove on the middle
ground road in aute R. R. times. One dav wldlo
dining with a near relation of mine, who asked
him how he liked Georgia- ‘".Veil,” says he,
“Judge I like Georgy mighty well, but tlmr is
more d—n poor, proud people iu Georgy an auy
State in the Uuiuu.”

was transacted, si-vera ; inteio^'in*:
documents were read. Dr. Thos. ]\
Janes, of Greene counts, shvh that
the crops are spffndid from C-iuuu.i
to Mexico and GautamaR'a.
—Mr. I. H. Levy, ore of our be^i,

time a clerk at S. Schwarweiss, Ins
taken a position with tnat st uue.'i
and reliable obi clothing house if A.
Asher, of Augusta, and will leave
shortly for that city. Mr. L'*vy lms
many friends in old Burke who wid
r gret his departure.
Subscriptions are positively oakm.
—Mr. S. Schwarzweisa is having his
saloon handsomely repainted, and will
put in a new set of fine bar furniture
and a largD stock of pure liquors. Tbefli
will Storzer’s friends be able to ‘ smile”
from a new stand point.
Mr. S. V. Bell now handles the
yard stick at W. MeCathern’s, where
he will be pleased to see his friends
and give them good bargains. Sam
is one of the cleverest young men in
town and we wish him success.
—W® hear that Mr. Charlie Hajles,
of Louisville, Jefferson county, died on
Wednesday, and his brother Robert
Hajles was thought to be dying on
Thursday morning. It is also said that
the younger brother, John, is iu a criti-,
cal condition.
Mr. W. F. Holleyman, druggist,
showed us a day or two ago, a uew
pair of scales which he had lately
purchased for weighing medicines.—
They are gold plated, and will break
on the hundredth part of a grain.
They are indeed beautiful.
—On Wednesday last we were sur
prised and pleaded by a visit from our
good friend, Charlie Bergstrom, of
Crawfordvillo, Ga. Charlie is one of
those big-hearted, generous fellows,
who has done more kind acts and re •
lieved mofe real distress than any man
in the State. He reports crqps in Tal-
liaferro as just splendid. We heartily
wish our old friendS up theie a good
harvest and much prosperity. Come
again, Charli'e, yqu are welcome.
While in company the other day one
individual inquired of another as to tile

vantage to our business meu. \\ by IS it , A more enlightened brother sitting by remarkou:
that Waynesboro cannot have a Sunday I “ IU> w haint ycu mint dat ar wurd.” Some
mail 1 ? As it now stands, Waynes
boro is completely isolated from the
rest of the world from 3 o’clock Satur
day evening till 11 o’clock Monday—no
matter how great the emergency. In a
short conversation with Mr. James W.
Grubbs, our polite postmaster, upon
this subject, he informed us that he was
not only willing to do the extra Sunday
work, but would endeavoi to induce the
department to give us a Sunday mail,
provided private boxes now kept for
mailing letters on the train were stopped.
This is, we think, a fair proposition, and
one which ought to be oherfuly complied
with. Let those who keep these private
boxes, which lessens *he legitimate prof
its of the postmaster, and does nobody
any good, be stopped, and let us have
the Sunday mail,
—Dr, J. A. Polbill, our clever drug
gist, and who is always doing something
pro bonopublico, has »t Lst procured
the champion leyer and ague cure.—
This medicine is endorsed by the best
physicians, and is said to perfect a cure
in every instance. • if this be true, and
we have no light to doubt it, it will
prove a gr. at blessing to the p ople of
our county. We are trying a bottle of
it, i nd advise our people to do so. Let
us havo the result of the trial, and we
will take pleasure in publishing it.
—Another boarder was to-day con
signed to hotel de (Jrubbs, by the name
of k^iellman, col., for appropriating a
gold ring to his own use and behoof
which was the property of Matlie Thom
as. It seems hard to stop a fellow’s
liborty just because he wauts to wear a
little jewelry.
still more wise broke out in laughter. We
.groaned for poor old Webster, and thought if he
could have been there how quickly perhaps
would ho have turned on his heels, hastened to
our enlightened, general Congress, and what a
speech would h ive been made in behalf of
Southern Illiteracy. We thought, too, of the
millions of ignorant blacks among us. Of tho
earnest eloquence of our Augustus J. Orr before
our Northern kinsfolk. Of Joseph E. Brown
and other grand efforts for appropriations by
Congress. We thought too of hastening home
ourself and making a strong petition; but wo
felt as we inunagino onr la ely ousted Congress
men did—that “there was no use knocklrg at
the window; upon coming quiet to find ourself
humming, or rather whistling some national air,
but it was not “I wish I lived iu Dixie"—either.
Notwbn.
—Our young friend, Mr, J S. Rod
gers, returned home on Tucsdy. We
were glud to see him, and to note the
improved appearame in health that his
trip Nojth has given him. We aro only
sorry of his return because it colses his
series of interesting letters to The Cit
izen, which have added real interest
to our columns. As a correspondent
we have found Mr, Rodgers a gentle
man of broad, liberal views, shrew ob
servation, and master of a facile pen.—
Wo have already predicted an honorable
place for him in tho world of letters.
—Wc have passed over some of the
roads in our county lately, and pro
nounce them in a bad condition, while
wo learn from reliablo information that
the roads in many parts of tho county
are in an almost or quito impassable
condition in the 63d district. Home of
the roads have not been w> rked in two
years. This is a deplorable state of
affairs, and one which calls on the grand
jury to do if a duty, and present every
officer who fails to do his duty.
