I aged 19, and in a few brief hours the Mr. Editor:—Judge Benjamin H. Big- remains were met here by the stricken ham, of LaGrange, came up last week and heart-broken father and other and organized a Masonic Lodge at this members of the family. The young place. The Lodge opens out with j man's death was caused by the acci- twenty-two members, and the Judge j dental discharge of a pistol in the hands says “with as fine prospects as any j of an intimate associate and room-mate, Lodge he ever visited.” Dr. Taylor j the ball entering the head and passing and John H. Williams, of Luthersville, ; through the brain, producing instant were on hand and assisted in organizing ! death. The affair is deeply regret- the body. j ted here, and the afflicted family The R. D. Cole Manufacturing Com- j have the sympathies of the en- pany hare contracted to build the j tire community. A letter from the church here, and no doubt we’ll have a mother of the young man who was the handsome building in appearance, and a substantial one. Rev. Elim Culpepper, of Senoia, filled his regular and last appointment at White Oak church Sunday. Rev. Mr. Garner, from Sunny Side, has been called to the pastorate of that church, and will be on hand at the regular ap pointments hereafter. Mrs. John W. White, of Grantville, and Miss Jessie Albright, of Luthers ville, visited Mr. H. A. Martin’s family this week. Miss Jimmie Lou Thompson, of New nan, visited Miss Glenn Camp this week. Miss Kate Barnett has returned from a very pleasant .visit to friends in La- Grange. 4 Mrs. H. W. Camp, who has been dan gerously ill this week, is now thought to be improving. Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Kellogg have moved from their country home to At lanta. We regret to lose them from our community, but wish them success and contentment in their new home. The most enjoyable social event of the season occurred last Tuesday night at Mr. E. C. Cureton’s hospitable resi lience. A small company of friends gathered and passed the hours so pleas antly that they seemed but minutes. Among the young ladies present were Miss Furlow Wadsworth, of Birming ham, Ala., Miss Mary Wells, of New berry, S. C., and Miss Jimmie Lou Thompson, of Newnan. The music furnished by Messrs. Cureton and Hen drix was splendid and en joyed immense ly; but the vocal music by Miss Thomp son could not have been surpassed. Messrs. T. E. Banks and II. S. Bradley, Jr., from Grantville, represented their town admirably. Mrs. Boyd, from Hogansville, has been spending a fev. ; days with her sis ter, Mrs. H. W. Camp, this week. Mr. J. E. Thornton, of Carrollton, has a flourishing writing school at the Academy. Mr. A. W. Bingham’s residence is nearing completion, which adds very much to the appearance of our commu nity. ZUBETUS.

Wagons, Carriages, and an endless variety of Toys to please the little folks. Just received—the largest and best selected lot of Fancy Candy and Crystalized Fruits of any house in town. E. E. SUMMERS. Sharpsburg. Mr. Editor:—Mr. R. A. North, who has been so sick for several days past, is improving. Misses Prudie and Myrtie Gay, of Fayette county, visited relatives and friends here last week. Messrs. L. M. Farmer, H. A. Hall and P. S. Willcoxon, of your city, were here at Court last Saturday. Master Alvau Goodwyn, a son of Hon. J. B. Goodwyn, who was so badly hurt last week by being thrown from a mule, is much better. Misses Cleo Camp and Odessa Jones, of Jonesboro, are on a visit to their grandfather, ’Squire Jones, much to the delight of our young people. Mrs. Lula Neely is very ill. Prof. Joe Cole, of Hampton, stopped here last Saturday on business. Mr. Bee Bohannon is acting as sales man for Messrs. Brown & North. Mr. Tom North, who has been spend ing several months in Southern Florida, is at home again. He says he likes the “Land of Flowers.” Rev. V. A. Ham went down to Grif fin yesterday to see his children. Rev. E. J. Beadles, of Kedron, was circulating among his friends here to day. Little Rexie, the youngest child of Dr. and Mrs. D. H. Brown, and La mar. the youngest child of Mrs. Sallie Smith, have been very sick. Mr. L. L. North has moved out to his farm, near Sharpsburg. Mr. Wm. Sharp will occupy the house thus made vacant. Mr. “Dock” Johnson had a horse to die last week. The musical entertainment given at the residence of Mrs. A. Lumpkin last Tuesday evening tfas a very enjoyable occasion. Master Jemmie Cole is visiting his uncle at Griffln this week. Mr. R. E. Applewhite spent last week in Atlanta, whither he went to work on the Air-Line road. He has re turned. Rev. E. Culpepper has resigned his charge here, much to the regret of the community. B. C. Dec. 6th. unfortunate cause of the accident brought consolation to the distressed family, and went far towards alleviating their sorrow. The remains were quiet ly laid to rest in the cemetery at Beth el church on Sunday last. “How swift we flee, Like ships on the sea. Or eagles that haste to their prey; As stars shoot at night. Our years take their flight— We fall as the 'eaves that decay." A few days ago the broad wings of death were folded in the humble home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cannon, taking therefrom their darling babe, and showing of a truth that— “Life is a span—a fleeting hour; How soon the vapor flies; Man Is a tender, transient flower, That e’en in blooming dies.’’ And when our Heavenly Father, in His love and mercy, sees fit to take from us those tender ties, let us bow submis sively and say— “God forbids their longer stay— He but recalls the precious loan. And hath taken away From our bosom His own;— Surely, what He wills is hest, And In His will we’ll rest.” Rev. W, H. Prichard, of Brooks Sta tion, preached an able and instructive sermon to the Baptist brethren at Sharpsburg on Sunday last, from tlie text—“Other foundation no man can lay.” The sermon was well adapted to the occasion and made a fine impres sion upon all who heard it. Rev. Mr. Prichard is a gentleman of decidedly scholarly attainments, which, coupled with a naturally bright mind and deep piety, give him a power for good that is equaled by few ministers of our ac quaintance. In the last issue of The Herald and Advertiser I am made to say that Hon. J. B. Goodwyn was thrown by a mule, etc. It was his son, and not the father. The honorable gentleman would be hard to hurt now, for he is too happy over the arrival of a little miss at his house to care for the co quetry of a Georgia mule. Mr. Judson Harris reports another voter at his house. Mr. J. M. Arnall, of Starr’s mill, vis ited friends in these parts a few days since. Mr. A. was born and reared in our midst and it may be said of him that no pqrer or more upright man lives in the State. In the church he is conservative; as a deacon, faithful in the discharge of his duties; as a farmer and business manager, none succeed better. Yerily, the meek and righteous shall inherit the earth. Mr. Ed Bridges has moved to the res idence lately bought of Mr. Ingram, and is now one of the most thoroughly contented men in the district. Mr. George Camp and family hoard ed the train at this point a few days ago for their new home in Tallapoosa. There are ten widows in the town of Sharpsburg. Mr. Flem Arnall moved on "Wednes day last to the city of Senoia. Mr. El bert Hix, of Fayette, has moved into the house vacated by Mr. Arnall. Dec. 6th. R. A. T. Turin. Mr. Editor:—A telegram from King ston. Ga., brought to Mr. James feelings worth having. I feel like 1 am almost there. I know I will have the support of The Herald and Ad vertiser in my efforts to reach Wash ington, and whatever The Herald and Advertiser undertakes never fails. It may he some time before 1 get to Congress, hut daresay I shall suc ceed in doing so about as soon the Con stitution's correspondent manages to elect himself to the Legislature on the Independent Whig ticket. I would saj more, but dark horses, you know, run fastest standing still. The other boys can tell you about their feelings. I understand that Elder Dodson, of Red Oak, will have pastoral charge of Liberty church next year. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to Brother Snead and family in their sad afiliction. Mr. Devaney is thought to be some what better. We saw a counterfeit silver dollar the other day. It looked like a genuine silver coin, but the metal was so soft it could be indented with the finger nail. We had a nice quail dinner last Sab bath. Hens are laying 25c. eggs now. Grandma Jones breathed her last at 7 o’clock this morning. She was st daughter of John Neely, one of the he roes of the Revolution. While quite young she married Wiley P. Jones, who died on the 2d day of June, 1859, leav ing Her with seven children. She was a faithful companion, a kind mother, and a consistent member of the Chris tian church. Truly, a mother in Israel has fallen. Who can take her place? She bore her afflictions with Christian resignation and left most comforting evidence of her acceptance with God. She was 79 years of age. The remains will be inteired at Liberty cemetery, where she had so often met the chil dren of God in sweet communion when in life. To the bereaved relatives we tender our sincere condolence. I notice that it is very common nov for Commercial Notaries to issue sum mons of garnishment, foreclose mort gages, etc. This is undoubtedly an in fringement upon the official authority of Justices of the Peace and N. P. ancl ex-officio J. P.’s, and seems to be in con flict with section 4, paragraph 1, of the Constitution of Georgia, which reads as follows: “Laws of a general nature shall have uniform operation through out the State, ancl no special law shall he enacted in any case for which pro vision has been made by an existing general law.” The law authorizing Justices of the Peace to foreclose mort gages and issue summons of garnish meat has been m general operation for over fifty years. There never was, and never will be, a set of officers more im posed upon than Justices of the Peace are. The Solicitor General and higher Court officials contrive to gobble up all the costs arising from fines ancl forfeit ures. Ripples. Dec. 6th. Fourth District. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—It rained ancl then'quit. The weather is sometimes clear, 'and then cloudy. The farmers are about through gathering their crops. Some are satisfied with the yield of the earth, and some are not. You doubtless know, from experience, that it is well-nigli 1 impossible to please everybody. Some men would grumble if they had to he hung. I guess you have heard about Mr. D. P. Power and familymoving into our community. We welcome them. About that letter in the Constitution of the 1st inst., concerning Col. Free man, Col. Smith, Judge Leigh and their chances for the Congressional nomination, and about my being a high protective tariff - Democrat and a “dark horse” in the coming race for Congress, and how loud I would talk in the halls of Congress, and how my influence would be felt throughout the M-orld. Such kind things as were suggested in that letter would make a fellow feel like shaking hands with everybody, and kissing all the babies, and telling the women what clever men their hus bands were;—why, I just felt like I loved everybody and wanted them to vote for me. And then I thought of the shiues and didos Mrs. “Ripples” and the little “Rippleses” would cut up in the City of Washington, and how the ladies would crowd the galleries when it was known that “Ripples, from Panther Creek district, State of Georgia, would speak. Now; these are Mr. Editor:—El ini church, atherreg- ular time for calling a pastor, called Rev. F. J. Amis for two Sundays in each month. Bethel church, Heard county, also made choice of him as pas tor for the ensuing year; but he declin ed, for the reason that he had accept ed Elim’s call. Bethel was insistent, and through a committee requested Elim, at her last meeting, to release him from his extra appointment. After some deliberation the church consent ed to do so—not because she felt tha; she did not need him, but hoping that his usefulness might he enhanced b\ his services at Bethel. The ordination of two deacons ai Pleasant Hill is set for Saturday befor* the third Sunday in this month. Rev. F. J. Amis visited the Sabbath- school at Midway last Sundav and gave an interesting lecture on the subject of Sabbath-schools to a large and ap preciative audience. We hope he will visit us oftener, for we are always glad to see him with us. The hogs in this section are dying with cholera, or some other disease. [Try North’s Cholera Cure.—Editor. ! Mr. John Stephens has moved from Heard county back to his place in this settlement. Mh W. D. Meriwether, who was ar ranging to go to Florida a»d had adver tised a sale for the 6th inst., has de clined going, and called in the sale. ITis son Leonce, from Brunswick, came up on a visit and dissuaded the famih from going. Uncle Joe Copeland and family, ol Panther Creek district, are visiting their many relatives and friends here. I forgot to state in my last that? Mr. M. D. Millians, who went to Birming ham a short time ago, has returned. Dec. Gth. Vanpelt. Alwayn at* the Front. Dr. .T. T.
