&dvtt[tmr and T. (}. STACY, Editor anil Proprietor. 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- blo quick at reasonable rates, be is 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 been acquitte lie might never have CONGRESSIONAL NOTES. Washington, January 16.—Repre sentative Black, of Georgia, intro duced in the Houso to-day a bill granting the right of way for a steam boat and barge canal to the Atlantio and Mexican Gulf Canal Company, of Georgia, from St. Marys river, Go., to the Mississippi river. 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. Macon, Ga., 1880. 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.

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. A boy dropped a live coal down the back of a school fellow for fun,at Wore, Mass., and the burned youth’s father thinks tho joker’s father ought to pay $1,000 dumoges. Alappaha needs a “church bouse,” aud brother Lostinger is willing to do his level best in helping out. A uow paper has been started out in Elkhart, ludiaua, which annouces that its aim will be to “restore to the republic its wonted grnndour aud prosperity.” It ought not to be very- difficult for an editor to do a littlo thiug like that, even if tho paper should not ho published more than a week.—Sacannuh Times.
