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.

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. McBeau Peucilings. August 9, 1882. Thomas M. Berrien, Esq., was on a visit td his plantation near this place Sunday. we hope will mitigate the prevailing sickness of this community. —Mr. Charlie Weigle. of the A ugun- ta News, paid us a pleasant visit, ibis (.Saturday) morning.

Mr. W. will spend several d.iyn in Burke, :;nd we wish him a g«.od time. 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.

We congratulate, and extend i 4ood time aid that muel 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.” ■IM1 i< —Our postoffic has lately been male a money order office. This is 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, busimss V' uni men and for a lo u.' 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 an ad- ! o{ M 8 neighborhood ; well says he, “we t . . | have what de doctor cal de diptatera.”— 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. $ mm cs g c £ % A w a 3 <1 ^ 2 f~> r -1 o 72 ^ P o Li Q> j 7^ < c u u >, >.
