We are grieved to announce the death of Mr. R. H. Springer, an old and high ly esteemed citizen of Whitesburg, which occurred at his home in that town on Sunday last, at the advanced age of 60 years. Deceased was born and raised in Carroll county, and was an enterprising, thorough-going citizen, whose loss to the community cannot be estimated. The remains were interred in the family burving-ground last Mon day, with Masonic honors. The an nouncement of his death was received with profound sorrow in Newnan, where he was very highly esteemed. We extend sincere condolence to the bereaved family. A Murderer Caught. Tom Davis alias Tom Johnson, is now behind the bars of Franklin jail. He lias been identified as the wife mur derer who created such a sensation among the negroes near Daniel’s mill, in this county, in tlie year 1875. He carried his wife from home under the pretense of going to see relatives. Tlie woman did not return, and the people growing suspicious of foul play, institu ted a search and found her decomposed body in a gully near New River. Toni had fled. Nothing could be learned of his whereabouts until a short while since, when it was learned that he was living on tlie Plant place in Coweta un der an assumed name. Sheriff Lips comb, ever alert to official duty, took him in Wednesday, and he will now atone the crime of twelve years ago.— Franklin Neics. are to report at my office to register : their names, when I will inform them : the plan arfd hour of meeting. »e , ought to have a rousing crowd, and ! must meet to keep up the organization : and make arrangements to meet next ; year and collect funds to enable me to publish the roll. Please notify all of Company A, by card or publication. Harry Krouse, See’y. Capt. Swint is especially desirous that every survivor be present on the occasion referred to, and we have no doubt there will be a general response from Coweta county. It has already been decided that the 1st Georgia Regiment and 12th Georgia Battalion will be invited to meet with us in Newnan next year, and it is hoped they will accept. We are fully pre pared to entertain them, and shall be disappointed if they do not come. Return Day. Return day for the September term of Coweta Superior Court was out last Tuesday, up to which time tlie follow ing cases had been docketed: Com mon law, 9; divorce, 8; appeal, 14; claim, 1; garnishment, 2; certiorari, 1; application for charter, 3; total 38. The most important cases returned, perhaps, are those of the families of the victims of the late railroad disaster, against the Atlanta and West Point Rail road. Sarah George, widow of Green George, sues for $20,000. Luster Cald well, widow of Earnest Caldwell, sues for $20,000. Amanda Israel, widow* of Daniel Israel, sues for $20,000. W. H. Upshaw sues for $10,000. Messrs. P. F. Smith and P. S. Whatley have been re tained by plaintiffs to conduct the suits against the railroad company. The cases will come up for trial at the spring term of Coweta Superior Court. Deaths. It becomes our painful duty to chron icle the death of Mrs. J. A. Camp, which occurred at Puckett Station yes terday afternoon, after a lingering ill ness. Deceased was a most estimable and worthy lady, and has hosts of friends in Newnan to whom the news thus conveyed will be both sorrow'ful and shocking. The remains will be brought to Newnan for interment, the funeral taking place this afternoon at 3 o’clock. Mrs. J. E. Luckie, whose critical ill ness w T as mentioned in The Herald and Advertiser last week, died yes terday afternoon at her home in the Hurricane district. She had been an invalid for several months, and, while her death was not wholly unexpected, yet the sad event has cast a gloom over the entire community. She was a great sufferer, but that sublime Christian faith which characterized her early re ligious experience sustained her most admirably in the last sad hour of afflic tion and death. Her patience, fortitude and absolute resignation furnish addi tional evidence of the potency of the Christian religion as a means of grace. Her death was peaceful, tranquil and happy—illustrating in a most pleasing manner the virtues and excellencies of a life that ended all too soon. The re mains will be interred at 3 o’clock this afternoon, at Emory Chapel, the funer al services being conducted by Dr. Stacy, of this city. Attention, Survivors! Tlie annual reunion of the 1st Geor gia Regiment and 12th Georgia Battal ion, which was appointed to take place in Sandersrille on the 4th inst., did not come off, owing to the stress of weath er and general uncertainty of railroad connections at that time. It has been decided, however, to hold the reunion during the first week of the Piedmont Exposition, on the grounds, and the occa sion will be one of the most interesting events of the week. The survivors of these gallant regiments are scattered all over the country, but they will be attracted to the Exposition, no doubt, and the meeting promises to be the largest and most important ever held. Mr. Harry Krouse, of Atlanta, is the Secretary, who writes as follows to Capt. Tom Swint, of this city. Atlanta, Ga, Aus. 10th, 1887. Capt. Thos. Swint, Newnan, Ga. Dear Sir:—After consulting a number of the survivors, I have called a meet ing of the 1st Georgia Regiment and 13th Georgia Battalion for October 18th, at Atlanta^ on the Exposition afpqqds. The members are to wear badges and “Ripples'* Replies. Mr. Editor:—In the last issue of The Herald and Advertiser there ap peared a card from one who signed himself “Boyles’ Neighbors.” In writing he uses the personal pronoun but signs with the plural pro noun “Boyles’ Neighbors.” He is evi dently some nondescript with a private spleen, who is too deficient in courage to sign his oWn name to the article, but masquerades behind the convenient and altogether insignificant nom de plume, “Bo> les’ Neighbors.” “Boyles’Neigh bors” may have prompted the phillip- pic, or they may have not; but the pre sumption is reasonable that it origi nated with the writer. If the first suj>- position is correct, some explanation may be due from me; if the latter, then it is unworthy of notice. I will state, however, in justice to myself, that my informants are highly respected citizens of Carroll county, who stand ready to give the sources of their information. If I was wrongly in formed, so were they. If an injustice has been done the party implicated by the report, no one would be more ready than I to repair the wrong by a prompt and candid retraction. I did not origi nate the report, and the writer was aware of this when he indited liis Card.” The writer himself admits that he has “nothing against ‘Ripples,’ and nothing special for Boyles.” But anyone can see from the vituperative tone of his letter that he is more preju diced against me than outraged on his “neighbor’s” account. Why? Simply because I am engaged in teaching mu sic and employ a different book from that used by him. I novel* did the writer (whose name is knowu to me,) any harm in my life, and why he should turn loose such a sluice of anathemas against me is more than I can under stand, unless the theory that I have given is correct. He affirms that “he would not say one word to disparage the name and character of the late Mrs. Boyles;” yet in the next breath remarks that “she was a very turbulent woman, completely destroying the peace of one of tlie best fancies in the county.” He speaks more disrespect fully of the dead than I have spoken of the firing, and yet has the effrontery to charge me with slandering and villify- ing the good name of his “neighbor!” In my capacity as newspaper cor respondent, I may from time to time reveal unpleasant truths concerning the living, but I have never yet slandered the dead and never will. In this par ticular I am undeniably more reputable than Boyles’ neighbor; for he has slan dered both tlie dead and the living. He is evidently more glad of a pre text to abuse “Ripples” than sorrow ful at the disclosure involvingthe “good name” of his friend Boyles; but he should understand that this is a free country, and in exercising my calling as an instructor of music in Can-oil or any other county I stand upon my lights as a citizen of Georgia. Nor have I the slightest fear of being “booted out of the county” so long as I am supported and encouraged by the class of people with whom I associate, and at whose solicitation I am now in Can-oil county exercising my calling* By the way, it may lie pertinent to inquire of “Boyles’ Neighbors” if they have any proof going to show that Mrs. Boyles did not make the statement at tributed to- her on her death-bed ? She was the only competent witness, and her ante-mortem statement, if uttered at all,, will be hard to disprove. Bring on the evidence. Ripples. Aug, 17th. The from Farmers’ Alliance - Card Grand Organizer Wilkes. Mr. Editor:—Please allow me a small space in your paper to call the attention of the farmers of this county to the or ganization now spreading rapidly over all the Southern and Northwestern States, known as the Farmers’ Alliance and Co-operative’Union of America. The grand State of Texas, the mother of the order, now has over three hun dred thousand members, and Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia are falling into fine to stay the oppressing hands of the monopo lists who are to-day organized to make slaves of us. Can’t you all see that the towns and cities are prospering, while the laboring classes are getting poor er? Look at the enormous per cent, we are taxed to pay on goods to keep up the commercial drummers who are flooding the county! Who has them to feed ? It is you, brother farmer. Let us organize and protect our homes and our children from the yoke of op pression that is pressing down upon us. Who does the supporting? Who is it that turns the mil to make the substan tial of life? It is famine.-. / I lyfll be in your county as soon as : get Carroll organized. Look to your ! interest lu-fore it is too late. Do not ! suffer yourselves imposed upon an> ; longer. Come together and we will have a division of the high rates and ' big per cent, and be free men. J. B. Wilkes, Organizer Farmers’ Alliance. A Good Investment —300 to 1—Read. Quitman, Ga., May 16th, 1837.—M. A. Briggs—Dear .Sir: My stej>-son, 16 years old, has been sick for 9 years, suf- ■ fering with sallow complexion, thin blood, loss of appetite, great weakness and swelling ot feet, legs and stomach.
