BUSINESS 7.V WAYNESBORO.
Augusta News.
Mr. W. E. Jones i- up frctn Waynes-
hr.ro, -on a sh rt visit to his family on
t,hr> Hill. He reports a heavy opening
business in Waynesboro and prosperity
in old Burke Over 300 bales of cotton
wp received in that town Saturday,
and these flam's are moving close up
to Augusta’s daily receipts, and give a
sp endid idea of the conunerqial im
portance of the boro. Indeed, it is
true that no town or ci.y of its size in
Georgia does t he business of W aynes
boro. Tin leading firms among a num
ber of prosperous merchants, are W.
A. Wilkins <fc Co., and S. A. Gray,
arid they do as 1 rge a business in cot
ton and yeneral merchandise as any
of the leading factors and merchants of
Augusta. Maj. Wilkins also owns the
fine new hotel, the Arlington, recently
eompteled. and Mr. Jones, his son-in-
law. has charge of this handsome build
ing, which is now adding to the at ra>
tio s of the little cry, and sur ly in
creasing the business and style of the
place.
Waynesboro has a number of elegant
residences arou- d its roomy stores and
business centre, and altogether is one
of ihe live.st, young cit es in Georgia.—

BVl.'OLABY AND BLOOD.
Augusta Chronicle.
On ’of** Saturday morn ng. about t
o’c.Mcf, pul cemau, .joe,.Thomas, while
walking his heat on Reynolds street,
near Washington, accosted a negro
whose suspicious demeanor led him to
believe that he was up to some hidden
enterprise. The negro told Mr. Thom
us that he was going for Ur. Harrison
Foster to attend a patient, but when
commanded to halt, broke away. Mr,
J homas pursued him up the street,
when ibe negro ran into Mr. H.
Brooks’ yard, and slamed the »ate be
hind h in. 'Ihe policeman leaped .the
t'-nee, followed into (lie-yard, and cor
nered bis man in the piazza, where he
had hid. Unluckily Mr. 'Thomas, who
was in the dark, stiu -k a match, when
the negro gave him a feaiful swipe
across the face wuh his knife, evidently
aiming at bis throat. Before he had
recovered frdm the shock, he received
it blow from a small wagon in ihe piazza
which stunned Mr. Thomas for an in-
* ant, and the boy escaped. The noise
of the scuffle awoke Mr, Brooks and
l r. Foster, who lives nest door, and,
these gentlemen found Mr. Thomas
b eeding profusely from hift wounds, but
bent upon finding the negro, whom he
believed to be concealed on the premi
ses He rapped vigorously with his
t lub, and would not leave his beat until
satisfied that the negro had made off,
and until he had summoned another po-
'jiceman to look after the case. Mr.
Thomas acted with commenoable en
ergy and puck, and although weak
iioiii the 'oss of blood and exhausted
from the blow, saw the ground thor
oughly oovered before he would give
himself up to the physicians, and have
his wounds attended.
From the description of the boy,
hergeant, Fie viiug who had been a'-
me ed t.o the s >ofc by the rapping, ar
rested one Owen (.’ox, in his room biick
< f Dr. Dennis’ store, on Broad street,
and when taken before' Mr. Thomas
v.as identified as the man whom he had
pursued. He was locked up forthwith.
Nearly the state time in th" morning
Niliceman Bayne saw a man walking
down the alley between the express
>ud telegraph offices. Believing him
to be a sergeant of police, Mr. Payne
hailed him, and as soot as he did
the man darted into a side alley and
< isappeared. Examination proved that
the hack door of L. \V. Walton & Co.
l ad been broken open, and that several
hrkins of butter had been set out in
the yard preparatory to removal. The
thief probably escaped through the
f ront cellar door, The men thus seen
were evidently working in concert, and
wore preparing to have a soft corner on
butter in Saturday’s market.
fox'is an old often ler in the local
four s, and has felt, before, we learn,
the arm of the law. Mr, Thomas, the
wounded officer, was doiug very tvell
yesterday, no withstanding his shock
and loss of blood.
[Joe. Thomas is a Burko county boy,
and his many friends in the county will
ve ret to hear of his mishap. There is
« ne thing c-q^taiu, Joe will fearle sly do
his duty at If hazards in whatever po-
si ion he may be placed.—I£d, Cit.]

Pike county, Ga., News: A some
what remarkable case has been argued
pro and con before Judge Prout this
week. It seems that a negro woman
attempted to steal a chicken from a
gentleman, but by some means did not
succeed. She was seen to pull the tail
feathers out of the chicken, and these
were brought into Court. The case be
gan some time Wednesday evening, and
an adjournment resulted, when the case
was resumed. During the trial on
Thursday a street fight occurred near
the court room and where witnesses
cou'd see the combat They, one and
all left the court room, followed by at
torneys. prosecutor and defendant, leav-
ing judge Prout alone in his majesty.—
After recovering from the shock of be
ing left so suddenly alone, the judge, in
all solemnity, said : “The court will
now take a recess.” The case was
called again on Thursday evening,
when a' 3 o’clock the court pronounced
the prisoner not guilty. The time
spent on this insignificant case, if prop
erly utilized, would purchase fifty
times the worth of the chicken.
Americus Recorder : About eighteen
months ago, Walter Rylander, while
fishing and hunting on Wells’ pond,
near Snntbville, lost a double barreled
shot gun by its dropping in the pond.
He used grapples and dived for it at
the time, but could not find it. The
other day the mill cam broke, and a
negro found the gun at the bottom of
the pond, as bright and clean as when
it was lost, as soon as the air struck it,
it begau to rust, but the negro oiled it,
and it is now as good as e ’er, with the
exception of the * lock being slightly
inju ed.
T et us give Hon. A. H. Stephens
an old fashioned Georgia majority.
