A scuffle 4milled in which the tmmp was shot, but not serious ly, as he made his escape. An Alex Ktlicrlilge Case. These are good reasons for believing that the notorious outlaw and escaped con vict, Perry Vinson, has returnod to his old haunts in this region. If he is ever caught again those who have suffered by his depre dations will no doubt take the law into their own hands, since it seems to be im possible to keep him in the penitentiary.— Albany News. A Pair of Compliments. Will somebody come to the front and show us a newsier, cleaner or abler edited paper than the Macon Tzlcobjxph?—Fort Gaines Advertiser. “Telegraph By-Play," in last Sunday's Telegraph, is worth a year's subscription to that paper. There are few better writ ers in Georgia than the force on the Tele- onAPH.—Baxley Banner. A Cool Proceeding. A drummer from Waynesboro says that at the late fair in that town about twenty thieves and sharpers were arrested. The citizens took the law into their own hands and after stripping off ail the clothes from the gang turned them loose to mako their way up North the best they conld. Tho fellows begged some old clothes from negroes and organized themselves into a hand of tramps.—Albany Medium. He Was Found Guilty.

Sandeksville, November 27.—Pharaoh Smith was shot and mortally wounded by Dave Hicks in Walker's bar-room about 8:30 o’clock last night—both negroes. Hicks was tender at Walker’s negro bar, and in fooling with the pistol nn accidental discharge occurred, with the above result. Hicks lied and his victim is still living, but his chances for recovery are very slim, the ball having entered the skull just above the inner corner of the left eye. catching Guinn between him and the ground, and crashing him so badly that he was rendered unconscious, and so re mained until his death, which occurred about twelve hours after the accident. Young Lawson was one of the best and most studious boys in the town, and his parents have the sincere sympathy of tlie entire community in this hour of deep dis tress. .

Will Mako Ills Future Visits Short One of our young gentlemen, who had been in the habit of staying rather late when he called on his girl, was surprised the other night. He went out in the hall for a stiek of wood to reernit the fire, when he discovered a pack age in tho wood box, and taking it into the yonng lady, was greatly astonished by her telling him that it was a lunch prepared for his benefit, as ho stayed so late every night he called, that she knew he got hnn- grybefore he left.—Fort Gaines Adver tiser. uln bed fellow fast asleep. — Stillwater, Irwin county, correspondence Hnwkinaville News. A Couple of Failures. J. U. Brawner & Son, merchants at Ca- taulo, Harris county, have failed. The amount of their liabilities and assets could not he obtained. Most of the indebtedness is to firms in this city. The failure is not a heavy one.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Yesterday morning Harris A James turn ed over their stock of groceries and provis ions to the People's National Dank to satis fy a claim the bunk bail against them. The bank officials immediately sold the stock to Messrs. A. C. Dell snd A. J. Buchanan, and the goods were put on the market at onco. It was impossible to find out what the as sets and liabilities of the firm were, os they did not know whnt they were themselves.— Americns Recorder. Cnnght Just In Time. Colonel B. T. Thompson got off the train at the depot lost Friday with his little Bon Charles, ubout 6 years of age. He put Charles down on the east side of the cars and bade him run home, while he crossed over Hie steps and proceeded up town. It so happened that Charles did not do os bidden, but determined to follow his pa up town.- It was no concern to him that the train of cars was in the way. He was in the act of passing under the nearest coach, between the ponderous wheels, when some one standing near happily saw the danger and snatched him back just in time to clear the track for the train which had already started forward.—Newnan Herald. Journalistic Note. After a throe months' trial tho publication of tho Americns Daily Republican, wil cease and return to the semi-weekly edition. Want of patronage is given as the causa. It was started merely as an experiment. A Foot Caniikt In nOln. A Mr. Sinkfleld happened to a most painful accident several Jays since at J. W. Brooks’s gin in this connty.

One Cau-e of Tight Times. There is now stored in tho warehouses in HawkinsviDe about two t .ouaand bales of cotton, owned by fanners mostly, and wait ing for better pncin. Pntting the jmee at $PI a bale, it is safe to say that if the cotton now on hand was sold, there would be put into circulation over $75,000. A Singular Coincidence. It is rather significant that in the town of Florence, where there are only five wells of water, and two of them ore owned by barkeepers, that the other three should have dried up immediately after the elec tion, in sympathy no doubt, witli the move ment that is now sweeping the country. A gentleman from here lind occasion to visit Florence a few days ago, and on ask ing for water, he was told that he would have to drink beer, as the water hod “played" out since prohibition begau.— Lumpkin Independent. llutti County's Terror. The Jackson New-i contains a lengthy ac- connt of a strange animal seen by many reputable gentlemen disporting on tbe banks of Towaliga river, and in tbe water in tbe neighborhood of Flat shoals. It is described as being ahont tbe size of an av erage male, and with all the characteristics of a seal. It travels best in the water. Numbers of citizens have been frightened by it, and on Saturday a posse of men went in search of it Some seem to think that it is a seal that has escaped from some travel ing uioungeric. A Singular Accident* Clem Johnson, colored, went out to pick cotton last Saturday morning, accompanied by bis little three-year-old boy and it being rather cold, Clem set fire to a stuipp, and after a while the child lay down by the fire and went to sleep, and while in that condi tion the stump fell on him. fracturing hie skull and breaking his thigh and bruising him otherwise, considerably. Drs. Starr snd Jackson set the fractured limb, but the unfortunate little fellow died from tho wounds Monday.—Newnan Herald. A« Good i He Sent. A few days ngo two men were in Smith’s barbershop."

An important meeting of prominent citi- zena of Thomson with the town council waa held on Monday night of last week. for the purpose of consulting, and if possible, devising means to enforce the prohibitory Uw in Thomson. While there are no pub lic bar rooms in the town, it is stated that there are at least five United States retail licenses held here, and it is well known that the prohibitonr Uw U constantly vioUted or evaded. No definite action was taken. Thomson Journal. A Notorious Rascal. Judge Lumpkin gave Sheriff Stewart an order, we learn, to turn over the notorious Ike Ethridge to the sheriff of Bibb county, on application. He will probably be sent back to the asylum by the Bibb county au thorities, will escape again and return to his burglarious calling in Hancock county. It Un’t too much tossy, just here, that if lbs authorities are powerless or indisposed to protect the good people of Hancock from tbU notorious rascal, who U said to be crazy with meanness only, then relief will be sought in some other way.—Sparta Ishmaeute. [Ethridge escaped lrom the asylum at MilledgeviUe. ] Maliomet Goes to the Mountain. About two years ago a young man came to this county from his home in Texas to visit relatives, and while here met a young ladv with whom he immediately fell in love, anil before be returned to tho Lone Star State she had promised to become his bride. Two long years hiul passed, during which time a regular correspondence was kept up, until at last both grew tired of waiting. He wrote that it was impossible for him to come, and urged her to go to him, he providing the means. To this she consent ed and on last Monday night Miss E. R. Brock boarded the cars at this place for her long journey to her lover, Mr. It. B. Taylor, whose homo is at Thrifty, Coleman county, Texas, and by the time this reaches our readers we suppose the linppy couple have been united and are drifting peacefully on the quiet sea of matrimonial bliss.—Cal houn Times. Cultlviitlon oi in,. Cork Oak. Twenty-five years ago Hon. N. R. Holli day, of this conhty, received from the Rep resentative in Congress from this district several acorns from the cork oak of Franco, which he took pains to plant very carefully. He has now three beautiful trees from them standing in the yard of his residence, which are bearing yearly. A few days ego he gave the Independent office several acorns from these trees, They are veritable cuiioMties of a beautiful mahogony color. Their shape is nn extremely elongated prolate spheroid, measuring five inches in circum ference the long and two aDd a half inches around the centre. Thu bark on these tre< s (which are now a foot in diameter) is suffi ciently thick to make excellent corks for viols and bottles. It is s practical demon stration that cork oak will thrive and do well in this climate and latitude.—Lump kin Independent. Getting Itlil or a Witness. Some three weeks ago a negro named Win. Hankeraon, in the CCth district, mys teriously disappeared. He was on impor tant witness against a negro named William Garvin in a case of hog stealing. This fact, coupled with other circumstances caused the arrest and confinement of Garvin,nnder the charge of murder. No trace of the body could be discovered, and some began to doubt that he was killed. Yesterday, how ever, the body of Hankersin, chained and weighted, with a sack tied over the head, was fonnd in tbe Savannah river. Tbe signs on tbe body showed that he hod been murdered, and now no one doubts but that Garvin killed him to get clear of his evi dence on the hog stealing caae. Garvin's case was continued and it is hoped that atn- ilo evidence will come to light to convict ■im at the next term of the Superior Conrt -Waynesboro Citizen. A Tissue or Uc«. In the Macon Teleorapb of yesterday, which came to hand just as we go to press, wu notice an extract from a letter purjiort- ing to have been written by Miss Libbie 1). Kelsey, a Yankee school-marm of Macon, Ga., to the Ohio State Journal So far as tbe letter refera to tbe action of the citizens of Quitman, on the night of the burning of tbe negro collcgv, it is simply a tissue of lies from begimring to end. Mr. Parr, whom she calls Prof. Ayrea, and the four women were waited upon as soon as passi ble by a party of gentlemen, consisting of t e mayor, Aldermen Dukes snd Roundtree, I)r. Snow and the editor of this paper. They were invited at Irest two private houses and were finally escorted by the mayor and aldermen to the Commercial Hotel, where quarters were furnished them. Flits Kelsey's letter will receive further at tention next week from the mayor of Quit- man.—Quitman Free Press. What Cured lllm of Drinking. About a month ago a Bollock county man, who never knew what it was to go over a day without several drinks, happened to take one too much. He went out where no one could see him snd bowed his head low to do the awful sea sick act. An old ram, as mischevioua as wicked, saw the poor fel low, and regarding it as an invitation to play batting, took a running start and then there waa a crash similar to that of two Tcry locomotives coming together on the same track. The man wee picked up, end for a week lie shuddered at even the thought of mutton. He swears that he will alwayz v.iy> the prohibition ticket no^, A Sad «% evident.

On Wednesday morning a Mr. Johnson, who lives near Richland in this county, was engaged in picking cotton and several mem bers of bis family assisting him. As the morning was an exceedingly cold one fires were built in the field so thnt the children could warm themselves occasionally. In the field stood a dead pino treo, ahont fifty feet In height, which was fired near the bot tom. During the morning tho eight-year- old daughter of Mr. Johnson approached the burning tree to warm her hands. An older sister looking up saw that the tree had burned nearly through and was ready to full. She called to her Mister to ran, who, misunderstanding the direction given, ran directly tho way tho tree was falling and be fore sho had gotten beyond its reach the tree fell upon the fleeing child and instantly killed her. Her terrible death, surrounded by the horror stricken family who were un able to render her any assistance, is one of tho saddest accidents* that ever ocourred in Stewart count)’. Georgia Opinion.

AN UNCERTAIN FATE. Alex Ethridge, tl.o Notorious Thief, lias u Midnight Call. Sparta, November 2G.—A party of ahont twenty-fivo well nrrned meQ surrounded the honse of Sheriff Stewart at 12 o’clock last night and compelled him to go with them to the jail and deliver to them the notorious burglar, Alex Ethridge, alias Ike Watson, who was recently rccnptnred in Baldwin county. It will be remembered that this man committed a number of bold burglaries about Linton, in this connty, more than a year ago. During a Baptist convention near that place, he entered the house of Mr. Ivey W. Duggan and stole among other valuables, three gold watches. After tliiB performance he was captured in Macou for tomo similar deed, hut in the trial he feigned lunacy so sne- ccssfnUy that tho jury sent him to the asylum. From that institution he escaped in a short time, and was captured recently and turned over to the authorities here. An effort was made to hare him brought to trial here, but Jndgo Lumpkin ordered the ahoriff to turn him over to the officers from Bibb county to he tried again there. The- fear that Etheridge would again succeed in his lunacy scheme and thus evade punish ment and carry on his burglarizing seems to have prompted this bold action by the men who took him from jail. No news has yet reached ns as to tbe fate of Etheridge. A TRAGEDY IN DOOLY. llrrams to b« Accounted For. Last fall Dr. Easom, a clever and reliable S entleman, well known in Americus, hail a ream that he visited the residence of Dr. D. B. Searcy, in Monroe county, and when ho entered the reception roam found thet Dr. Searcy was not there. In a few days he received a notice by mail that on the day preceding the night of his dream the doctor died. Last Friday night he dreamed that he entered tbe eame room and Mrs. Searcy was not there. Tbe dream awoke him, and recalling bu former experience, he awoke his wife end told her thet his cousin, Can,il ia Searcy, was dead. On Monday laat he received a letter etaring that Firs. Camilla Searcy died on the day preceding hia dream. Dr. Searcy and Dr. hosom were consuls, snd the letter has long been familiar with them at their home. This is another phe nomenon to he accounted for by scientists. —Americus Republican. A wily Bigamist. There came here about two weeks ago one Alex Cheney, from Appling county, bring ing with him two wives end a cart he hail stolen. Yesterday an officer, in company with the gentleman who he bail taken the cart from, came with a warrant to arrest him and carry him back when be had committed the theft, a distance of about ninety miles. They came to Mr. William Fletcher's awhile before night.

Powell was shot and killed by John P. Clegg five miles below hore yesterday evening. The particulars of tbe affair, as gleaned from tbe oouricr who came for the sheriff, are substantially as follows: Powell had some land rented from Clegg, a portion of which wss planted in ground peas. Wednesday Powell came to Vienna to consult a lawyer in regard to Clegg, who he claimed was gathering the neas himself. Yesterday Powell snd his children were in the field digging the peas, as also was Clegg, the latter accused the former of talking ahont nbout him, I’oweU denied this, and Clegg drew his pistol and fired at I’oweU, missing him. Powell then stnrti-d towards home, telling C’tgg he would have him arrested. Cleg) continued firing and Powell turned am made at him with a hoe. One of Clq shots struck Powell in the breast am fell, striking and cutting Clegg with the hoo as he fell dead. Powell's little boy in the meantime ran up and cut Clegg slightly in the back.

Dawson, November 24.—It is reported on tbe streets today tlmt through some dis agreement between Prof. McClellan, presi dent of the Southwest Georgia Male and Female College, at this place, and Mrs. Mc Nulty, a member of tho faculty, in charge of the female department, the latter, with her daughter and sister, Miss Ellen Flartin, also teachers, have retired from the faculty snd have remove 1 their effects to Firs. McNulty's |residence. After tho rup ture all hpt seven of the etudenU followed Firs. McNulty, leaving the presi- ident with tho remaining seven. It is not known what the outcome will be, but it is hoped that a compromise satisfactory to all parties concerned may be effected, os the coUege is one of the institution* of this sec tion and all the parties are highly respected and beloved by both students and patrons. Our Superior Court convened yesterday morning at It) o'clock. Judge John T. Clark delivered a learned and well-timed charge to the grand jury. Several visiting members of the bar are attending court. Among whom we note Judge C. B. Wooten and Judge D. A. Vason from Albany, Col Wm. Guerry and Fir. Hinton from Americas, sndCoL G. W. Warwick from Smithville. We learu that Uo criminal cases of any magnitude will be tried, and it u presumed that the attention of tbe court will be principally directed civil matters. “.Stump)" Folsom, of the Americus I corder, is with us. We were also pleased to meet CoL Fladison Jones, of your city. The venerable Judge Clarke is assisted in his duties as clerk of tbe court, a position which he has ably filled for thirty years | ing 1, past, by Editor W. K. I’ilibury, of tbe Ap peal tho ground. Since tlicD the town 1ms beon in a stato of excitement, and various were the threats made by the negroes, to tlie ef fect that the town in ite entirety shonld be laid ia ashes. Every night guards litre posted throughout the td.vn, in order to irevent these threats from being executed, lilt our vigilance did not extend fur enough, for on Saturday night tho torch was applied to tlie cane mill and gin house of Jndgo J. (). Martin, and this valuable property, costing more than #3,000, was de stroyed. No insurance could bo lind, so it was a complete loss, This morning nt 11 I'clock, in accordance with an announce ment previously made, the citizens, white and black, assembled at the court house to discuss the Hinder and to endeavor io come to nn honorable settlement of the trouble. After the meeting had been called to order, speeches were mode by several gentlemen expressive of sorrow for the unfortunate event. A negro arose and stated, without nny evidence whatever that the house was burned by t*>e whiten, thnt unless the white people would give the as sociation ten acres of land, thoy, the ne groes, wonld not be satisfied. Iu short, the negroes turned dictators and tho whites were afraid to assert their manhood. Mr, Editor, it seems to the young, who have some truo blood in their veins, and who are yet to enter the political nrenn, that this meeting was ns disgusting and cowardly as it was hypocritical. Trusting that the papers of Georgia may look with less contempt on the cowardice shown by the older citizens of oar town than do the younger people of Brooks county, I am, very respectfully, X. THE QUESTION IN SAVANNAH. IIow It 1* Viewed by tlie l'roh!!>Itlonl*U ancl Anti Prohibit loiii-t*. Several of the prominent prohibitionists of the eity were interviewed yesterday. They were all of the opinion that nn elec tion will be hold here beforo long. Augus- votes on the question in January, and the Chatham county tomperance folks wnnt wait until the Richmond county cam paign is over. Ex-Governor St. John, Bain, of Kon- tncky, Finch, and half a dozen other prom inent speakers and workers have volunteer ed to come to Savannah in February and assist in the campaign. A subscription is being raised in tlio North, it is said, to be nsed in the campaign. One New Yorker is said to hare subscribed $10,000. It suggested to several that Savannah is the strongest liquor town in the State! Not withstanding this, the temperance people express great confidence of carrying Chat ham. The conservatives and the liquor men said yesterday that a contest is to take place. The liquor men, to be sure, have good rea son and they mean to take time by the fore lock. They will act on the defensive, while the other side will mnko the attack. To counteract Rome of the force df the pro hibitionists, tho more prominent “antis” will try to got a high license for Savannah. The “antis” believe that a high license will conciliate hundreds of conservative •voters who, under the present law and in discriminate system, will support the drv movement The purpose of the higii license men, therefore, is rather shrewd, and strenuous efforts will, it is understood, be mndo to indneo the city council to fix the license nt n high figure. 'Atlanta was termed a high license city, the license them being $500. It is likely that the figure will be made considerable more than that here it the high license people can have have tbeir wav. The liqnor business Id Savannah is esti mated at over $2,000,000 annually, and by some as high as $3,000,000. From the jubilant oxpresaiona of the pro hibitionists, it may be reckoned as certain that within tho next few months Savannah will he the battle ground on which even a fiercer contest will be waged titan has been waged in Atlanta for the past six weeks. Recognizing the strength of tho liquor in terest in this city, all of the arailahlo tem perance force will be marshalled in the siege of tho citadel—Snvannah News.

Near Villa Rica, in Carroll county, lives the widow Green, whose husband died twenty years ago, leaving her without means and a large family of little children Her present home is thus described in the Campbell News: Instead of the log cabin left [her then, she lives in a handsome frame dwelling furnished with all themodern conveniences and snrronnded by a large yard that is it self os neat as a parlor. Hundreds of chickens are scattered nbout the piece; lordly turkeys strut around ready for the Christians holidays; a large pen wss filled with fat hogs that would now uversgo nearly 200 pounds each, and yet were onlv put up the day beforo, and so fur hsvo cost nearly noth- g in the comer of the barnyard ugo bam, its lower floor honor-combed with stalls and the upper oue filled with feed and looking more like a livery stable than a country bam. Fine young colts were racing each other; sleek, we iMed tie were quietly gathering as tho evening shades came on, looking as though they wonld never need nny of the corn that vas stacked to the shingles of an immense crib. Within a stone's throw is her gin honse, thresh and evaporator; good houses wlu-reiu are sheltered the buggy, carriage and farm ing tools, while back of tho dwell ing stretches sway throe hundred scree of land, all the cleared iiortion in the highest state of cultivation. No complaint there of hard times. All years arc good, all crops bountiful Erery where smiling peace, plenty and happiness. It looks like living when you go there, and they do live like kings. The sons raise the food, the dang' ten cook it and it is needless to say that is well done. They entertain a great deal of company and their fare blends the purity nnd sweetness of home victuals with tho variety of a hotel But this noble woman has done more than live well She does not owe n dollar, has money at interest, has raised all those children, taught them how to work, given them a good education and sent them into the world honored, nxefnl, prosperous «*— and women. One son is still at borne nnd looks after the faint.
