of the disaster—for disaster it is—and
we respectfully call their attention to
the matter. The flowers and shrub

the devotion of oar people to departed

them as well as to the good order of
the town that some more effective

Another Robbery nt Whltesbarg.
The safe-blowers appear to be opera
ting in this section of the State now.
Last 'Wednesday night they entered
tbe store of Messrs. E. S. Roberts &
Ce. at Whitesburg, blew open tbe safe,
rifled it of all the money it contained
(about $100,) burned the firm’s books,
assisted themselves to various delica
cies iu the shape of canned goods,
cigars, etc., set fire to the house and
escaped unobserved. Dr. Wallace, of
Whitesburg,. happened to pass the
store about daybreak aud discovered
the fire in time to extinguish It before
much damage was done. Their mode
of operation was similar in every re
spect to that employed in the Brooks
Station robbery a few weeks ago, and
it is believed to be the same gang.
Our vigilant police officials are keep
ing a close watch on all suspicious
characters, and with such effect that
so far no burglarious enterprises have
been attempted in Newnan.
A Singular Accident.
Dr. F. H. Daniel was the victim of a
singular accident last Saturday, and
only escaped serious injury by a mira
cle. Every dentist’s office is furnished
with an apparatus or appliance known
as a vulcanizer. There is a receptacle
for water, which is heated by mearib
of a spirit lamp placed underneath,
and when the water becomes suffi
ciently warm is used for softening the
rubber employed in making dental
plates. Dr. Daniel had occasion to
use his vulcanizer last Saturday, but
his lamp being out of order he placed
it in tbe grate and built a fire under
it. The extreme heat produced by
the blaze soon made the water boiling
hot and steam commenced generating
so rapidly that he attempted to take
it off. Just as he was in the act of
removing it, however, the vessel
exploded, and in an instant he was
euveloped from head to foot with the
scalding steam. He was completely
blinded, and for a time it was feared
that his eyesight had been permanent
ly injured, but we are pleased to know
is now rapidly recovering. It was a
narrow escape.

First Pic-Nlc of the Seaton.
Last Saturday morning Col. A. R.
Burdett secured four or five two-horse
wagons, gathered up about threescore
little boys, collected a few worms,
tackle, etc., and carried tbe entire
party ont to Sewell’s mill for a day’s
fishing. The little fellows were In
high spirits from the time they left
until their return, and a j oilier, happier
crowd we never Baw. The day was
spent most delightfully in fishing and
frollicking, and Col. Burdett looked af
ter the young marooners with such true
parental solicitude that the day passed
without a single accident or mishap—
a remarkable circumstance, consider
ing the number of boys under his es
pionage. There were fifty-five in the
party, though the names of the follow
ing only could be obtained:
Emmett Snead, Edgar Snead, Eu
gene Fell, Steve Nall, Ernest Scrog
gins. Fred Barnes, Ernest Powel,
Will Powel, Henry Amall, Alton Ar-
nall, Joe Arnall, Hugh Arnall, J. R.
Cates, Meriwether Hackney, P. H.
Brewster, Ralph Ramey, Court Harts-
fleld, Robbie Barnes, Awbry Fuller,
John Hyde, Jesse Havis, Alvin Argo,
Fred Hornsby, Ralph Powell, A. C.
Broom, Roy Askew, Will Askew,
Gordon Fouse, Claude Lewis, Jim
Askew, Felix McWilliams, Mack
Manly, R. B. Hunter, Will Gearreld,
Fred Maunt, A. M. Dent, S. A. Ar
nold, Jed Walker, Calhoun Caldwell,
Wiley Hill, Norwood Clark, Orrln
Clark, Harvey Fell, Luther Fuller.
It was the first pic-nicof the season,
and Col. Burdett is not only entitled
to tbe honor of getting it pp, but also
to the thanks of the little fellows for
the day of enjoyment which his gen
erosity provided. It is now iu order
for him to pic-nio the little girls, and
we feel sure he will if they will only
suggest it.
