We hear of tally a few cases of sickness, and those ire not of a malarial character. —Our gardeners are industriously gaged every fair day upon their rdens.

We learn that Thompson & Heindel, enterprising mill men of Emanuel enun ty, are going to extend to their railroad from Midville, where it joins the Cen tral, to Swainsboro, 17 miles, And so our sister town of Swainsboro is at ! ast to have railroad facilities. FOUND DEAD. A negro man who was at work upon Mrs. Godbee’s place, in the (58th dis trict, this county, was found dead one day last week in the woods His head was hurst to pieces, and his brains seat tered around upon the ground. The man had went in the woods to split rails, and when found be was in such a posi tion os to induce the opinion that he had been killed by the falling of a freshly cut free which lay nearby. THE ARTESIAN WELL. The derrick tor the artesian well, built as it is upon the highest point of land in town, and looming up with such huge proportions and to so great an al titude, is now the most conspicuous ob ject in town. The contractor is now engaged in building the foundation for the machinery, which will be placed upon large oak sills, and will be as firm ly fixed as the lock of Giberalter, The J?oringhas not yet commenced, and while we do not wish to hurry up matters too fast, we are anxious to sec the auger enter the ground. The cautions prep arations making give us full faith in its success, and we feel only anxious to see the previous liquid “spout.” THE CHINAMEN MUST 00. On Thursday night a party of men entered the store of Loo Chong & Bro , the Chinamen who opened a store in this place last Friday, and tied the Chi namen head, hands and heels, gaged them with rags, and administered a se vere whipping upon them with knotted ropes, and otherwise mal treated them. One of the Chinamen was taken off with threats of hanging, which, howev er, was not done. We give the above as rumors current this morning, not know ing the facts. The crime of the China men seem to be that they were selling goods too cheap. The Chinese this (Friday) morning are gone, and their place of business locked up. The oc currence is severely condemned by the community. For the reason that we understand that the affair is to undergo judicial investigation, we refrain from saying anything that will bias pub ic opinion. DIME PARTY AT THE ARLINGTON The dime party at the Arlington Fri day evening, was not only a success for the church, as, in spite of the very in clement weather about $80 were made for it, but was o#e of those neat social gatherings which mark Waynesboro society, and which is so much en joyed by our young people. The sacque for the most popular baby was awarded to the pretty baby-son of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Jones. Patience, the magnificent doll, was won by Mr. W. M. Fulcher, and the beautiful pound cake was won by Miss Ninna Wilkins. We saw one of our young friends this morning sporting a pansy blossom pen-wiper that he seems to value, not so much for the beauty of its design or its intrinsic value, but for the fuir ono who made it. Mrs. John D. Munnerlyn and Prof. Wallace made some splendid music during the evening, which was highly appreciated by our muric loving people. Among the young ladies present were many, of Waynes boro’s fair oucs, than whom no town in the State cau boast* f more beauti ful. The social gatherings are char acteristic of Waynesboro society, and have a softening influence upon the asperities of character of the young of the »terner sex. »u»d wo hope will be more frequent in their recurrence. Subscriptions are positively cash —There are but two prisoners in our jail at present. —We acknowledge with pleasure a visit to our sanctum <*f Mrs. A . W. Clark on Thursday evening, in com pany with Mr. Clark. Hor presence fell like a ray of light across the som bre confines of our sanctum. The ladies are ever Welcome. —Col P. B. Hall has rented Mr. Tom HamilPs store arid will put in a stock of goods in a few days. Thus does Hall boernethe proprietor of two stores, Chinamen or no China men. Well, Hall is a go ahead man, and is bound to succeed. —One of our young men, who proposes to take music lessons under the direction «»f Prof. Wallace, find ing his guitar out. of repair, sent, it I to a blacksmith shop to have it re- I paired. We ko-uv O’Byrnsis a go-.,! | -ne, but don’t think he cm manipu ! ate n line guitar. — Mr. S A. Gray and Pr. A. G ; Whitehead left Wednesday nighf to at- i tend the Mardi Gras exhibition in New | Orleans, for which it is said prepara tions have been made to excel any for mer exhibition in that famous city.— Mr. Gray may be absent, a month or six weeks, Dr. Whitehead will not re main so long —St. Valentine's Day is near at hand, and Dr. Polhiil has made prepa rations to meet it with a large stock of valentines. We think everybody can be suited, as the doctor has in his stock from the finest and most exquis ite valentines to the most ludicrous car icatures. Timid young men can thusly express their pheiinks. —On Tuesday, conductor Young blood had the misfortune to have one of the piston rods of the engine of his train to break at this place, and after tele graphing for another engine to Augus;a. conducted his train off with only one si le of his engine at work. Several small accidents of a similar character have happened to the trains on this road within the past few months. —Let our farmers prepare and plant for a dry summer. Every sign portends a hot, dry summer, and our farmei s should prepare against it by breaking their lands deep and well, and planting, corn e-pecially, just as early as possible Late corn, unless very late, we fear will not do well for the lack of rain. “Fore warned is forearmed,” and whether it is an abundant or scarce crop year, the advice is good anyway. COTTON ,S"T.t TEMENT. HOW TO PLANT RiCE. ! Our farmers seem to be taking some 1 — interest in rice culture,and last year J The followng is a statement, of the many of them-planted small “patches,” i cotton received at this depot for ih as an experiment, but we are afraio the ; weekending Friday, Feb. 2, 1888: —Several of or.r young married peo ple are going into the chicken-raising business with no protection for their gardens against the depredations of the fowls. They must choose between chick ens and a garden, the two won’t work together.%nd with a year or two’s ex perienee, in our opiuion, they will learn that chicken-raising on a limited town lot is an expensive investment, as every chicken raised to be grown will cost them a dollar. This does not include the loss of a garden, either. —Mr. A. W, Clark, the picture man, is engaged in painting two of the ip<»st beautiful pictures we have seen in sometime, one “Youth in the Voyage of Life,” fr >m oi e of T. Cole’s pictures, and the other “Tinturn Abbey,” from an English picture. Mr. Clark Iud proven himself a skilled artist, and we say to those who wish a good picture to “make hav while the sunshines,” although Mr. Cl ark take pictures m cloudy as well as fair weather, Mr. C’s. stay among us is limited. - -Messrs. L H. and M. H, Routz- ahn design leaving for Florida on or about the 10th inst. These gentlemen will first go to Jacksonville, and from there they wil go to Ooalla, where they have lands located, and will there oi- thor make arrangements to have an or ange orohard set or buy one already in bearing. They also expect to visit Fort Mason, in Orange county. They will bo rather on a prospecting tour of the Slate, and will likely be absent several months. We wish them a pleasant trip through the Land of Flowers, and a safe return to the bo soms of their friends. —Wo extraot the following remedy foi chills from the Augusta News.— While we do not vouch for the curative powers of the remedy, it is simple, and if it doosi uo good it oan do no harm, and we think it surely worth a trial. “Col A, F. Pope says ho has discovered a sure remedy for chills, it has never fail ed in a case where ho has tos ed it. Take one-third part cream tartar and two-til itfls sulphur, mix well, and for n dose take about ten grains three times a day. lie has given this remedy t > the employees at Powell’s Mills who were nearly all down with the chills, and it perfectly eradicated tlio disease.” meager yield occasioned by the entirely wrong planting of the grain wil. have the effect to drive them off from its culture, and the fine rice lands of our county —and there is much land here as well adapted to rice culture as auy land on the globe, and for little else—wil! be given up to weeds and bushes. In our rambles through the county last sum mer we saw many “rice patches,” but not a single one which could possibly yield anything within the neighborhood of a crop. Rice, like sugar cane and the pea family, will not grow well when planted too thin. Being familiar wiih the p anting and cultivation of rice, we venture a few plain directions, which we guarantee, if followed, will, return a satisfactory resu t. Choose your land for planting, if possible, of j rich, light, loam soil, break up and pulverize well, then lay off shallow drills with a yery suiail “scooter,” two feet apart, eighteen inches is plenty of distance if you do not use the plow in its cultivation. !Sow your seed in the drills so that the grains will lie not more than a quarter to ha’f an inch apart—by no means thinner—and cover lightly with a rake. It wi l require ten or twelve days ' for the rice to come up, and the grass with it. It needs attention early, as the sooner it is worked the easier it can be done. Break out middles with a small “scooter,*’ letting it run just deep enough to take up the young "rass and weeds which will have made its appearance, taking the precaution to nail a board from the beam to the foot of the p'ow stock to protect the young plants. The drills must be cleaned with the hoe and fingers—the grass and weeds being picked out. The second working should be done inthe same man ner, and will still be a little tedious, but by no means as much so as the first. After the second working, rice is little trouble, as it only needs the middle to be shaved oyer with the hoe once or twice more. When grown, rice should cover the ground in a solid mass, and when ripe, which will be the latter part, of September, it must be cut with a cycle or reap hook. Rice is no lover of poor land, and in good land will produce 50 to 60 bushels of rough per acre. To Savannah 350 bales.

Mr. Breedlove were riding their velocipedes up and down on the pave ment in front of Mr. S. A. Grey’s store, little Gray, son of Mr. Quinney, some five or six years old, happened to a most tragic accident and miracu'ous escape from death, The little fellows were riding rapidly, when Gray passed the south corner of the store and ran be tween the fore and hind wheels of a dray heavily loaded with guano passing along the alley way between the store and the public square. The velocipede was knocked over, throwing the child flat on its face by the side of the veloc ipede. There was no 'imo to check the horses, and the dray wheel, rising upon the velocipede, rolled off on the child and passed diagonally entirely across his litt : e body from the left hip to the right shoulder. Mr. Lanier, one of Mr. Gray’s clerk, who was standing in a few feet of tho place when the acci dent occurred, pick tho little fellow up, and oarryinf him into the store laid him dertvu in an uneoncious state, fully im pressed with the idea that he was crushed to death. Drs. Ford and Ql- iver were called in, and the child soon revived. He was up Friday morning, showing no signs of injury except a skin ned place on his chin and one on his knee, and *as anxious to carry his ve locipede whioh the dray had made a perfect wreck, to the shop to have it ro paired. Nothing could have saved the child’s life except the vclocipodo, and it may he set down as a most mir lous escape. NOTICE. l)r. J. A.
