BRUNSWICK, - GEORGIA:
SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY ai„ll
cle of
Col. Win. H. Sparks, on ancle
Col. Thomas Hardeman, died very
recently.
A stock company is forming in De
troit to buy tko body of Guiteau, om-
balm it and exhibit it throughout the
country. •,
It is rumored that one of the Gui
teau jury will contend that he is in
sane, and thus bang the jury instead
of Guiteau.
1,22ft murders committed in the
United Stutes during 18S1. Of that
number ninety were hung, leaving'
1,136 deliberate murders without
cause.
Guiteau declares that ho would not
trust tbo best man in America to close
his case, so mado the closing speech
in writing and says ho wants “every
man, womnn and child to rend it.”
The Florida Southern railroad pro
jects an extension to Perry, Ga.,
which will pass through one of the
richest undeveloped sections of the
State. The company is composed of
boston capitalists, said to represent
$40,000,000. A heavy force is at work
on the Georgia line.
The boston University Mothodist
College has recently come into pos
session of n $2,000,000 estate, be
queathed to tho institution ton years
ago, bv Isaac Rich, of boston, Moss.
The faculty and students held a jubi
lee over this accession to the wealth
of the collcgo.
In Washington they still continue
to mix up Guiteau’s ease and the
President’s doctors. Col. Reed, re
cently, in his speech for Guiteau, de
clared that tho opinions of experts
woro of littlo value anyway, and re
ferred for proof to the bulletins of tbe
expert doctors during Gurfield’s ill
ness.
One dny last week in Sumter couu-
ty a cow was noticed to act very cu
riously, and, upon examination, it
was found that tho poor brute's tougue
had been cut out. We wero of the
impression thnt ours was a civilized
country, but that savors of barbarism,
aud tho heartless wretch that com
mitted so vile an act should bo tarrod
and feathered.
The following States will oloct Gov
ernors this year: Alabama, Arkansns,
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Del
aware, Georgiu, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire,New
York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas. Of theso, twelve
States have Republican Governors
aud eight Democratic Governors.
A dispatch from Washington to tho
western pross association, represents
Senator Brown as saying, “I shall
uot be tho Mahouo of Georgia. I shall
uot head the so-callod independent
movement. One reason why the re
port referred to is not true is thnt I
shall vote the Democrrtic ticket from
uow until 1884, at least. I am not an
Independent, but a liberal Democrat.”
We notice among our exchanges tho
horrible death of a bridal party that
occurred last week in a New York
railroad accident. Mr. Park Valen-
•u*>• <ii.i Miss Mary Louise Gaylord,
of N i' ii Adams, Mass., were married
on tli. ix'tu ins!., ai.o bad started on
their brutal tour to Jacksonville,where
they intended spending the winter.
Tbo train was wrecked aud Mr. Val
entine was caught in the debris. The
PUBLIC SCHOOLS,
By reference to our Congressional
notes it will bo seen that Mr. Wheel
er, of Alabama, has introduced a bill
in Congress calling for an appropria
tion of $106,000,000, to be divided
ont over a space of ten years, for pub
lic school purposes, $16,000,000 to be
expended the first year, $14,000,000
tho second, and so on. This money
is to be applied to the public schools
of and as a supplement to the indi
vidual efforts of the respective States,
thereby encouraging each to its full
duty.
We trust this bill will pass and be
come a law, and that our own State
will appreciate this effort of the Gen- 1
oral Government to buiid up our
school interest. Wo are aware that
a strong feeling prevails throughout
the South against the public school
system, many contending that it is
wrong to compel ono man to pay for
tho education of the children of an
other, and also that to educate tho la
boring men of the South is but to dis
qualify them for the duties of the farm.
This may havo proven true in indi
vidual instances—many a colored man
may havo becomo intoxicated by his
attainments and “put on airs,” but
this is but the first effect of the new
order of things. Educate all alike,
and our judgment is that each will
find his level, and in the courso of a
few years we will hove a hotter class
of labor all over our land.
Wo need more skilled labor. This
is being provon overy day. How is it
possible for tho South to take advan
tage of the lessons taught by tho re
cent Cotton Exposition without a bet
tor class of labor than we now have.
We need manufactories, a better sys
tem of farming, etc. To arci-inplish
theso we must have intelligii • labor,
and where is it to come from ’ .gain,
wo neod that our laws be !>.i car
ried out, and to do this w. u,..., havo
a higher grade of public sontimont—
more intelligence and less ignorance.
This can only be reached by a highor
system of education, and the sooner
wo lay asido our narrow ideas and
strike out for broador views, tho
bettor.
Wo say wo hope this moasnre will
be carried through and a new impe
tus given to the school interost of our
whole State, and that local boards,
botli State and couuty, will catch the
inspiration and put forth groutor
efforts.
On our travels last week wo found
tho following amusing advertisement
posted at Johnson’s Stntion, (4J) S.,
F. Si W. Railwny. The writer is cer
tainly an oddity, at loast wo should
so judge front tho way his tongue
waggod as he entertained us with an
enumeration of tho virtues of his no
ble steeds, which, by the way, are all
right.
REMOLD THE RUSH !
G. W. Sullivan with his two noble
ponies Tom Brown and Robbie Jack
is ready, willing and waiting to cou-
voy nny person or persons through
and around or across tho country at
any speed from common time to dou-

acquainted with almost everybody
and knows the way to their homes or
places of business, ho will make tbe
trip as enjoyable as any man could,
and if ho carries any person and fails
to mako them laugh heartily he gives
their passage free, unless the person
is dead or has thoir mother in law
along, give him a trial anyhow.
Jesse Williams, colored, was hung
in Savannah on Monday last for tbe
mnrder of Toby Clark, an old colored
watchman of thnt city. He expressed
himself resignod and willing to go,
said his sentence was just, and that
he was going straight to heaven.—
How thankful his friends ought to
be that he « convicted. Had he

sentative Black, of Georgia, intro
duced in the Houso to-day a bill

AID FOR FREE SCHOOLS.
Tho bill introduced in the Honse
to-day by Representative Wheeler, of
Alabama, to aid in the establishment
and temporary support of common
schools, proposes to appropriate $105,-
000,000 for this purpose daring the
next ten years—$16,000,000 the first
year, $14,000,000 the second year, and
thereafter a sum diminished by $1,-
000,000 annually, the money so ap
propriated to be expended to seenre
tho benefits of a common school edu
cation to all children living in the
United States. Tho bill is intended
to aid for tho time being in the devel
opment and maintenance of a school
systom established by the local power
in tho States and Territories, which
must eventually be wholly maintained
by the States and Territories.
M. & B. RAILROAD EXTENSION.
Monroe Advertiser.
Superintendent Edwards says tho
following stations will be established
along the lino of tho extension of the
Macon aud Brunswick Railroad from
Macon to Atlanta. The distance of
oach is given from Macon: Holston.
81, miles; Dame’s Ferry, 15; Iceberg
21; Towaliga, 25; Indian Springs, 36 j-
Jackson, 41J; Locust Grove, 61 h; Mc
Donough, 59J; Stockbridgo, 69J; car-
shed in Atlanta, 871. No donbt there
will be other stations croated but
theso are tho important ones. The
following streams will be crossed
Savage, Rattlesnake, Beaver Dam.
Towblor, Ponder’s Lick and Pate’s,
The rivers are Towaliga, Little Cot
ton, Indian and South. Bridges will
bo spanned over those streams. None
of them are at all dangerous. For the
most part they are small branches dig
nified by the name of creeks.
Mr. Castcllo, ono of the leading
contractors on tho line, thinks tho
road will bo completed by the first
day of June. Track-laying is going
on rupidly. Tho country to be opened
up by this road is equal to the best
in Georgia. Besides fine river lands,
immense water powers will bo made
convenient to transportation, and this
will insuro tho erection of cotton fac
tories, mills, etc.
Dr. Felton, Representative Speer,
Mareellus Thornton el id omne genus,
will soon find that they don't carry
tbe State of Georgia in their pock
ets, as they ore trying to make the
Stalwarts believe.—Chronicle.

Messrs. Lamar, Rankin & Lamar—
Gentlemen—You will remember my
going to you some time since and get
ting two bottles of Brewer’3 Lnng Re
storor for a friend who was down in
bed, hardly able to move, and I prom
ised to let you know its effects. I will
say that this gentleman who used it
was up in a week’s time, and looked
two hundred per cent better than he
had in months, and I hope will be en
tirely cured of tbe disease.
Yours respectfully, A. T. Abel.

Thomasvillo Enterprise: Col. H. S,
Haines spont last Friday in our town.
Ho had been to Baiubridgo to start
tbo surveyors to work on the lino bo-
tweou Baiubridgo aud Chattahoochoo,
which is to connect the S., F. & W.
with tho Atlantic & Pensacola R. R.
Col. H. S. Haines has about as much
on his shouldors as ono man ought to
have, but ho scorns to stand it all
without any great effort. He is Gou-
oral Manager of 425 milos of railway
in actual operation, and besides is
building two oxtensions, ono from
Live Oak to Rowlands Bluff and the
other from Baiubridgo to Chattahoo
chee, and in addition to these has
filed an application for a charter for a
road from Chattahoochee to Rio Gar-
rabclle, on James Island, in Florida.
With all this on hiB shoulders he yot
finds time to remember the interests
of Tbomasville, of which we think
our pcoplo will havo ample evidence
in the near future.
