Appointed Postmaster.
The axe of Max. has made its
tracks in Burke. Its first whacks
were at Girth, but it only filled a
resignation not enforced. Col. Frank
BrinsoD, not desiring to monopolize
the amount of the enormous salary
brought through this office, resigned.
Mrs Laura A. Herrington has been
appointed, and she will give full
satisfaction to the patrons of the
office.
Wants a Consulate.
Augusta News, April 4th: Dr.
Geo. Patterson, of the Lincolnton
Neics, is iu town to-day, and secur
ing signatures of his friends to the
president for a foreign consulate.
Dr. Patteroon was a former citizen
of Augusta, and some years ago lost
his right arm in a railroad accident.
He is a dentist by profession and
this accident of course prevents the
practice of his profession.
Memorial Exercises.
The ladies are determined to
make memorial day a most inter
esting occasion. Mr. Wm. R. Calla
way, will deliver the address. The
Burke Light Infantry has accepted
the invitation to participate, and
the schools will he closed. The mer
chants should also close their doors
and allow their employees who are
members of the military to take
part with their command.
The AVaynesboro Postottice Applicants.
Mr. J no. W. Reynolds is another
applicant for the Waynesboro post
office, and a petition in his interest
is now being circulated. The peti
tion of Miss Lula Garlick has been
forwarded. The commission of
Postmaster Hall does not expire
until January, 1894. The salary of
the office is about $1,200 a year, out
ot which an assistant and the other
expenses of the office must be paid.
Exchange of Courtesies.
The Ordinary of Burke, Judge P.
D. Cox, went to Richmond county
this week and presided in a matter
before the ordinary’s court, which
disqualified Judge Walton, the or
dinary, on account of relationship.
At the same time Judge Walton
came to Burke and presided tor
Judge Cox in a similar matter of
disqualification by relationship.
Each of these cases were heard on
the first Monday in this month.
Negro Shot.
A npgro boy, liviug on Mr. Geo.
P. Kilpatrick’s place, near Keys-
ville, was very seriously shot by a
playmate Thursday. The boy went
to a colored school house near by at
the dinner recess hour to play. He
took his pet pistol along in his hip
pocket. One of the school boys
slipped it out, and while handling
it accidentally caused it to fire, hit
ting the owner of the pistol in the
center of the back. Dr. Torbett at
tended the wounded boy, and says
he may live but the chance3 are
doubtful for his recovery.
The City Dog Tax.
The city council have delayed en
forcing the dog ordinance for seve
ral days, owing to failure to receive
the collars in time. Official notice
is made of this in another place.
We learn that a petition will be
presented to the council at its next
meeting to reduce the tax on dogs.
We fail to see any reason for a re
duction, and would prefer to see it
raised to $2 50. If a man owns a
fiue dog he certainly will not object
to paying the small tax now assess
ed for the privilege, as the main ob
ject of the tax is to prevent the
hungry, yelping, marauding, hy
drophobia infected cur, hound and
fice from over running the town.
We are against reducing the tax,
and hope the council will strictly
adhere to the good democratic doc
trine of taxing the luxuries of life.
Dr. Fraser, of Augusta, is Assisting Our
Pastor in the Services.
There is now
meetings in progress at the Method
ist church. • These meetings have
been under way since last Sabbath.
Rev. B. F. Fraser, of Augusta, is
helping the pastor. Mr. Fraser is a
very earnest, impressive preacher.
He is a tall handsome man, with a
fine physique, and a fine voice. His
delivery is pleasant and his pulpit
manners easy and natural. He
talks to the people like a man who
has a message from God to them,
and they must hear him. His word
pictures are fine, and bis descriptive
powers are of a rare order. The
growing congregations are delight
ed and many are seriously impress
ed with his preachiug. Interest in
the meetings has deepened through
the entire week. And it is hoped
that these meetings will eventuate
in a wide spread revival of religion
in our city. Rev. Mr. Fraser is ex
pected to remain with the pastor
and assist him through the meeting.
All are earnestly urged to attend
these services. Preaching at 10 a.
m., and 7:30 p. m., each day. The
ladies also have a prayermeeting
each afternoon at 4 o’clock. The
meeting will be continued through
next week. Other ministerial help
is expected.

Easter exercises.
A Happy Easter Day at the Methodist
Church East Sunday.
Last Sunday the Methodist church
was beautifully decorated, and the
choir furnished the congregation
with very sweet and appropriate
music. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Do
mingos preached a fine sermon on
the resurrection of Christ. The ser
mon was followed by the sacrament
of the Lord’s supper.
At 7:30 p. m., there was a beauti
ful service by the Sabbath school
and missionary society. An invit
ing programme had been arranged;
and the children all rendered their
parts elegantly.
The responsive readings were well
selected. The appearances of the
Lord after the resurrection, arrang
ed by the superintendent, were well
recited by eleven little girls.
The recitation rendered by little
Miss Floyd Gresham, completely
captured the entire audience. The
meeting of the flowers, which was
recited by twelve pretty little girls,
was exquisite.
The beautiful recitation by MisS
Bessie Wiggins was well received
Taken altogether, it was a very
pleasing and profitable service.
this
couDty remember him as the effi
cient and brave commander of the
4Sth Georgia Regiment. Below we
give a short extract from the Neics,
of April 5th:
“Judge William Gibson died this
morning at Messena, Warren coun
ty, 42 miles from here up the Geor
gia road, where he has made his
home of late years. .
“He has been in bad health for the
last few years and for several weeks
his condition has been precarious
and the end was expected at any
moment.
“At one time there was no more
prominent figure in Georgia than
Judge Gibson w ho was conspicuous
in state politics, and held offices of
honor and trust. He was a native
of Warren county, where he was
born 73 years ago. He moved to
Augusta in 1856, and entered the
practice of law, iu which profession
he built up quite a reputation and
became renowned as a jurist of un
usual ability.”
There is near this city a landscape
relieved by a small, artificial body
of water, which is exceedingly pic
turesque.
In its green, mossy depths the
tad-pole wiggles his wanton tail and
the bull frog revels in great glee
when the twilight shades of evening
settles down over the world. The
perch grows hungry and reckless
when the genial rays of the warm,
spring sun raises the temperature
that gives new life to him. His
breast grows rosier as his appetite
increases. To the angler he offers
himself an easy prey when his din
ner is delayed by the wariness of
the cricket, who sings in the green
grass and stays close at home.
Married in Texas.
We copy below a notice of the
marriage in Calvert, Texas, of
Mr. Henry S. Branch, remembered
here as a hoy, and who went to
Texas to seek his fortune several
years ago:
“Mr. H. S. Branch,of this city, and
Miss Lillie Woodward, of Calvert,
were married in the latter city last
Tuesday, March 14th, at 10 o’clock,
a. m. After the ceremony the bri
dal couple took the train for Taylor,
where they will make their home.
Mr. Branch is the popular superin
tendent of the tin shop department
of Blaine & Prewitt’s hardware
store, is a superior* business man,
and is highly esteemed by every
body. The bride is the accomplish
ed and charming daughter of one of
Calvert’s most prominent and pros
perous citizens, is an only daughter,
and was a favorite in Calvert socie
ty. The Texan extends congratula
tions, and wishes for the happy
couple a long life of united happb
ness.— Taylor {Texas') Texan.

Attracted Attention.
The resolutions of our Brier Creek
Agricultural Club have attracted
attention abroad. Without repub
lishing the resolutions, which ap
peared at the proper time in our
columns, we give what the Lincoln
ton Neics says of them.
“The following ringing resolution
was passed by the Brier Creek Ag
ricultural Club of Burke county, if
the principles it advocates and pro
poses to practice, were practiced iu
every county in the state, and every
cotton state in the south, there
would be no danger of low prices
for cotton next fall.
“If the people cannot be aroused
to use the remedy for low prices
and better times, that lies mainly,
and we might say exclusively, in
their own hands, the wail for relief
and help, in our self-imposed help
less condition, will continue to he
heard in the land.”
Occasionally the fisherman comes
along with the angle-worm, and set
tles himself behind the low, scraggy
globe flower bushes beneath the
shade of the sweet gum trees, and,
while he reads “The Idyl of the
Brook,” holds over it the long pole
that has found its way from the
jungles of India to this land of the
free and Colonel Pod Dismukes.
It is almost always the figure of
Capt. Palmer Corker that rests so
dreamily under the romantic shad
ows we’ve alluded to.
A few days ago the warm, poetic
blood of the true sportsman began
to riot in his veins as the buds on
the forest trees were turning green
er and greener at each moment.
His restless feet took on the motion
of the fisherman and the spring de
sire for solid flakes of perch to
wrestle with his appetite.
On last Tuesday morning he found
himself unable to endure it longer.
He seized his things and in a short
while he had crossed the field, pass
ed the grove of pines and was down
under the shadows that have been
so gracefully described before. De
termined not to die with all his
music in him, he laid his guitar
across his knees, raised his eyes to
the verdant branches, and sang his
last ode to spring set to the fascinat
ing music of “Ta-ra-boom-de-ay.”
Then he laid it quietly down, and
while repeating—
“I come from haunts of coot and hern,
i make a sudden sally
And sparkle out among the fern
To bicker down a valley<fee..
he fixed the wriggling worm on the
hook and cast it into the glassy
lake.
What could be more romantic
than this mingled troubadour and
picturesque fisherman resting in
shadow by the side of the glassy
waters mirroriug the world in its
bosom, amidst the loveliness of
spring time and the song of birds!
Could even a serpent crawl out of
its long winter repose to mar the
scene? His pole rested on the globe
flower bushes and the earth, while a
jewelled left hand softly touched it
to discover the faintest nibble. The
other held his book while he con
tinued to repeat—
“Till fast by Pbilip’s farm I flow
To .join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.”

—Ex-Mayor R. G. Daniel, of Mil
len, Burke’s great seaport, was in
this place Thursday looking after
law business. He regretted the
necessity of traveling so far from
home, and loDgs for the new county
with Millen for the shire town.
Can we lose our seaport? and more
than all we cannot share our fellow
citizen R. G. Daniel, Esq.
There lay clinging to a branch
another deadly moc.
Bang!
It was divided in half. The tail
fell wriggling and squirming to the
earth. It gyrated here and there,
scattering its cold and clammy blood
on the turf of soft green. Then it
grew still.
The other half what of it?
This may be put down to the
wrong cause to which snake stories
are generally ascribed, but our great
pater patriae with his hatchet be
fore his eyes would mystify about fish
and snakes sooner than Captain P.
L. C., and we assert it that nothin
but cold water has passed his lins
for ever so long with the jug train
at his very door.
He looked up the tree. Now, this
is a true story, and what did he see ?
The other half crawling quietly up,
pausing just long enough at the
sixth limb to look back over its left
shoulder aud wink.
He sent back after his things, and
while he waited was heard to softly
quote—
“Here and there a foamy flake
On my bosom sail ins:.
Here and there a lusty trout.
And I ere and there a grayling
