SEWS GAT II EH ED uy special con a esp o\i>ex ts. Wayne* boro Jen S.—The Kay term of the Superior Court, that haa been in action here for Iho put two weeka and a half, adjourned Jut Wednesday, after accomplishing unusual amount of woik. It will recon vene July 3rd, and all remaining cases vill then be tried. BolHtor-General Boy kin Wright, succeeded in securing a num ber of convictions for tbe State. Candidate* for the next Legislature are becoming quite numerous. Many names, , comprising able and efficient men, have been suggeafed. I may mention Judge H. E. W. Palmer, Col. Jesse Wimberly, Phil. P. Johnson, T. D. Oliver, Esq., and two of tbe present incumbents, Dr. E. A. Perkins and Cnpt 8. J. He ;th. Thero prevails a quantity of available material, nod there ta no reason w by Burke should not send a i»**.ong delegation. Any of the abova named gentlemen would represent her faithfully and ably. That wearsto have a county fair next fall is novnt* yond the shadow of a doubt. Tbo association to which previous reference has been made, ie oomposed of able, ener getic men, who are alive to their interests, and who will not let the good work lag. They are already driving arrangement* to a successful completion In the midst of tha intense Interest man ifested in the above subject, the artesian well boom temporarily suffers neglect. >> e ' aid not allow thfa enterprise tuevapo- ; a well of rare. living water would bo greatly conducive to health in this climate, and there ia no reason why Wayueabc.ro should not havo ono of there modem ne oeseitie*. Bicy cling still prevails extensively. Be aides, we have bore a young pedestrian who bids fair to rival Howell, Leiry or any other champion of the belt. He is modes', and for that reason, I wiil net give his name at present; but he to a grocery clerk in* prominent house,and con make it around our track in 4;45. Dr. J. W. Cooler, the gen : al dentist from Louisville, ia smiling benignly upon our community. It to said that the Doctor is becoming gently aesthetic; be haa even beon beard to marmor something about tha sil ly being “Too quits excessively beyond.” It to rumored that the extent of his trans gression 1ms even led him to venture ar. occasional pun. It to indeed too utterly awful! In the midst of fair associations, art' ll sian walls, etc., it is tnid that a young at torney of our bar still finds time to indulge in pastoral amui-ements. Since the ml jonrumtnt of court hi* dally experiences prove the moat charming of idyls. Upon a toft couch be takes bis strata, and in the dreams that float through bia mind, tbe culture of ducks forma conspicuous por tion. If yon will excuse a alight digref sion, I Will incidentally remark that th i facetious scribe who build'jokes for the funny de partment of the Citizn. has at last risen to explain that shot-gun business. He say s, in effect, that his artillery is to be exchanged for a calf, provided the Iguruairtf's correspondent at tbia place ran be had for a shotgun. Ho wants something to amuse him during the cummer campaign. Hie explanation is ingenious, but I fail to see bow a calf can prove a source of amursmeut to a donkey. What affinity or bond of association (here can possibly be between a cow and a mule, that the one can amuse the other, is in explicable, except on tha prinoiple, "small minds are easily amused.” It hit mule- ■hip. tha Citizen, ie preparing recreation for the summer months by collecting a zoological museum, ho need not derertTits sanctum to find curiosities in the beast line. J. 8. K. BorasYlito. June lb—The Demi <cretio executive con- mittee met bare on last Saturday Tha Congressional and Sec it oriel conventions Le faceted by primaries. It also recom mends that a eanoidate for the Legislature be nominated at the lame time, in the same way.

It will pasa through one of tbe finest sections of southwest Georgia, and wiil throw an immense amount of freight to the Macon nud Brunswick.

She can afford to let Gov ernor Colquitt attend nil tho Sunday- school conventions, if she can con vino© tho Democrats of Georgia that Mr. Stephens is not untitled t) tbe nomination at their hands for governor. Wo do not want to vote for a man that the Radical party that both the Coopor boys had which proved to bo true. Mr. Joe Coonei was brought across the river and attended by Dr. Strother. He was shot through the fleshy part of the thigh; the ball passed di rectly through and lodged under tho skin, and was easily extracted. John was at tended by Dr. Iiiltoraan, who pronounced bis wound a dangerous one. The ball passed through his stomach, from ono hip to the other, and lodged under the skin, and at this writing there is little no hope for his recovery. Johnson did all tho shooting. The origin of the difficulty was about tha privilege to sell soda water on the grouuds at a negro barbecue. Tho statements given by tho Coopers and by Johnson and bis friends are so very different, that we will not at tempt to give eitber. Johnson has not been arrested, but we ienrn will come in nnd give himself up to morrow. He belongs to oue of tho most respected families of East Dougherty, and keeps a country store. Tho Cooper brothers nra merchants of East Albany, and are very quiet boys, en joying a good reputation. This is one case that didn’t occur about whisky, bat sods water.

Whi'e in new* ton we noticed a flno field of oats belong* ingtothe Williams Bros., or rather the stubbs where It seemed to us fine oats were cut only a day or two before. When asked the yield per acre, we were told by Mr. Bill Williams that it could not be ascertained; thnt the onto wore so heavy and the straw so large that thero was not horse power enough ia tho vicinity to turn a thresh to thresh them oat. Why. he says, just be fore they ripened, the boys around town would come up here nnd shoot At black snakes crawling arrows the field On top of theoat*,tM-iugnnabloto penetrate them,nnd he says “if yon will walk down town, I'll show you a set of old fashioned negro quills insdo from thof stubbs, Uko those when we were boy*, that wo used to sit for hours and listen to down in thf negro quarters on Saturday nights, the recollec tion of which briugf st&uaai to stony A heart.” We wilted and then he off-***«« provo it.
