Mr. Editor:—For two weeks we have
had no time to write, and even now
are somewhat out of fix for writing,
having a severe cold, but will try and
take advantage of a little leisure and
pen a few lines.
Cotton continues to come in at a live
ly rate, and our merchants are all busy.
We hope everybody is trying to pay
their debts and begin the year 1SS9
even.
Although the cotton season opened
two weeks later than last year, the
shipments at this point are in excess of
same date last year, showing, we think,
a less disposition to hold the crop,
which, from our long- observation, we
regard as a very safe plan.
It is our sad duty to note the very
sudden and unexpected death of Dr. W.
Bartlett Couch. He was taken ill
about 1 o’clock last Saturday morning.
Medical aid was summoned and such
means used as to revive him, and he was
thought to be getting on comfortably.
About 3 o’clock A. M. he had another at
tack, which terminated fatally in a few
minutes. His disease was pronounced
paralysis by the attending physicians.
The funeral was preached by Rev. H.
S. Rees on Sabbath morning at II
o’clock, at the Baptist church. A large
congregation was present and followed
his remains to the cemetery, where
they were deposited beside those of his
wife, who preceded him some months
ago. He died in the 55th year of his age,
and leaves one son and two daughters,
with many relatives and friends, who
mourn his untimely death.
Mrs. Maggie Goldsmith has been ad
judged insane, and been sent to the
asylum at Milledgeville. We hope her
malady is only temporary and that she
may soon be restored to health, and re
turn to her family and friends.
News reaches us of the killing yester
day, near Sullivan’s mill, in Meriwether
county, of Mr. John Wilson by Mr.
Will Sullivan. We hear they were en
gaged in tracing a land line and got in
to a dispute about it. Sullivan was car
rying an axe. Wilson drew a pistol anti
ordered Sullivan to put the axe down,
which he refused to do, when Wilson
snapped the pistol at Sullivan three
times. Sullivan then threw the axe
down, drew his pistol and shot Wilson.
We learn nothing as to the real cause,
and only give the substance of current
reports.
It is sometimes our misfortune to
have to witness scenes of a most revolt
ing nature. Such an one we saw a few
days ago. There was, on the early pas
senger train from Griffin, a blind man,
who was put off at this place, and to
say that lie was beastly drunk would
be putting it mildly. All reason and
consciousness was gone, he being utter
ly unable to exercise physical motion.
A poor blind man drunk ! Who (fid it ?
Evidently it was the work of the ac
cursed whisky dealers in Griffin, and
that of itself is evidence that any man
who sells liquor as a beverage is devoid
of any scruples of conscience and whol
ly oblivious to the conditions of men, or
resulting consequences. It does seem
that if there are a class of men whose
unmitigated crimes could call down
the fiery indignation and wrath of a
sin-avenging God, it is the liquor deal
er. And, to add further to the igno
miny of this case, the person (Rev. Mr.
Bussey) carried his ministerial creden
tials. Churches could possibly be more
careful who they set apart for the min
istry, and be spared the shame of hav
ing their work published before the
world in such a style. We know that
imposters will crop out, and churches
are liable to be imposed upon, yet a
long acquaintance would be some guar
antee against such impositions.
Mrs. C. F. Sasser, after spending sev
eral weeks with her sister, Mrs. Mallory,
at Guyton, Ga., has returned.
Mrs. Jason Addy and Miss Addy are
visiting relatives and friends in South
west Georgia.
Dr. W. F. Culpepper is on a visit to
Atlanta.
Mr. M. II. Couch and Col. J. F.
Methvin visited Xewnan to-day.
Mrs. T. X. Yining, after spending
some days in Birmingham, returned last
Saturday.
Mrs. W. S. Travis, of Argyle, Fla., af
ter spending some time with parents
and friends here, left for her Florida
home this morning, accompanied by
her brother, Mr. L. F. Yining.
Our spouse has put us on notice that
she is going to invest in ? rough and
ready torpedo. The thing will be load

going to overtake u* at last. We invoke
the sympathy of our many more fortu
nate friends. Y invent.

At a recent meeting of the patrons of
the Grantville High School the follow
ing gentlemen were elected trustees:
Messrs. Post, Zellars, Cottoi, Collins-
worth and Banks. The building is to
be painted and made comfortable at
an early day.
Some of the housekeepers are very
much inconvenienced by the protract
ed “cotton picking.” Most of the ne
groes will cook all summer, but they
hie them away to the cotton fields in
the fall.
Rev. G. W. Colquitt preached at the
Baptist church here on last Sunday,
from the text—“And whosoever shall
fall on this stone shall be broken, but
on whomsoever it shall fall, it will
grind him to powder.” P. A.

Mr. Editor:—"The time of my de
parture is at hand,” was the valedicto
ry of the great apostle, Paul, to young
Timothy just before he was to be offer
ed upon the altar of martyrdom. Paul,
no doubt, reflected over his past life
and mutely rehearsed some of his ex
periences. After summing it all up I
imagine he felt somewhat sad to bid
adieu to his acquaintances, but happy
to go to a better city than Rome. Your
humble correspondent (though situated
unlike Paul, of course,) takes this op
portunity to bid adieu to the many read
ers of The Herald and Advertiser
for a while.
Rev. Y. A. Ham has closed his school
for the term. He speaks of giving up
teaching and devoting his entire time
to the ministry. He is overworking
himself in the effort to teach a large
school and serve four churches at the
same time. He is an excellent teacher
and preacher.
Mr. Renzer Johnson, of Atlanta,
spent a few days in our village last
week. We are glad to know that he is
doing well in his new home.
Prof. J. R. Bohannon lias gone to
Xewnan, where he will take a course of
reading under Col. L. M. Farmer, with
a view to qualifying himself for the
practice of law. We hope lie will suc
ceed in his new profession.
The candidates are multiplying so
rapidly that it is hard to keep up with
them.
Mr. F. S. Atkinson left last week for
Xewnan, whither he goes to accept a
position with Arnold, Burdett & Co. as
shipping ch-i'k. lie is a most worthy
and capable young man and will give
satisfaction in the position, we feel as
sured.
Miss Xan Xeely killed a large rattle
snake last week. It was four feet and

Prof. A. S. Jones lias dismissed his

Rev. R. C. Rhodes, of Palmetto, lias

zer church, near Sharpsburg, for the en

Rev. .T. D. Xorris will leave in a few
days for Macon, Ga., where he will en
ter the theological department of Mer
cer University. Col. M. H. Xorris, of
Atlanta, will accompany him, and
enter the law department. These gen
tlemen desire to equip themselves more
thoroughly for the duties of their chos
en vocations, and will be absent several
months.
Mr. John O. Yance is studying medi
cine in dead earnest now. He will soon
be the sole occupant of the “Hermit
age,” and we trust he may be happy.
Rev. R. D. Mallory filled his appoint
ment here la*t Saturday and Sunday,
preaching to good congregations on
each occasion. He i* one of the lead
ing divines of the State, and we are
glad to know has accepted a call to
serve the church again next year.
Col. L. M. Fanner and sister, Miss
Alice, of your city, attended church
here last Sabbath.
Rev. J. D. Xorris bade his Sunday-
school and friends adieu last Sunday

at Cedar Creek, and by her death the
church has sustained an irreparable
loss, while her husband mourns a kind
and devoted wife, her children an af
fectionate mother, and her neighbors
an ever-obliging friend. To the mourn
ing friends and relativearwe tender our
sincere condolence.
I learn that a bloody rencontre occur
red in this district on Sunday last, near
Allen’s crossing, between Mr. Joe
Burks and a young man named Chas.
Moore. They were returning from
church at Mt. Lebanon when the dif
ficulty occurred. Buries, I learn, was
shot twice, one ball taking effect in the
left thigh, while another struck near
the left eye, glancing and making onl>
a slight wound. The wound in the
thigh is the most serious. Moore, I
understand, was badly bunged up with
a rock in the hands of Burks, who used
it freely after knocking his adversary
down. Both are young men of good
standing in the community, and the af
fair is deeply regretted by our citizens.
I am glad to learn that the unfortu
nate difficulty has since been amicably
settled, and that friendship has been
restored between the young men. Tire
foregoing circumstances are detailed as
reported to me.
The other day, while in Xewnan, I was
invited to dinner by one of your lead
ing citizens. When I was introduced
to the good lady of the house she re
marked that she had expected to see a
large, portly, good-looking man when
she saw “Ripples.” The husband re
lieved my embarrassment, however, by
explaining that I was just recovering
from a long spell of sickness, which ac
counted for my emaciated appear
ance.
If a poor, wayfaring, hungry mortal
wants to get a good square meal let
him call at Jim Reid’s restaurant in
Xewnan, and lam sure he will go away
feeling thankful that he lived in Jim’s
day. At any rate, that is the way 1
have been made to feel on divers occa
sions.
Married, at the residence of the
bride’s parents in thisdistrict, on Sun
day morning last, S. G. Allen, Esq., of
ficiating, Mr. John Cantrell and Miss
Zena Dyer.
There are six country stores in this
militia district. Mrs. B. P. Cook has a
store at .J udge Ben Leigh’s, and sells u
good many goods. Half a mile farther
up the road Mr. E. C. Palmer has a
family grocery and drives a good busi
ness in his line. One mile farther Mr.
John II. Hyde also has a store, which
yields him a comfortable living. At
Lodi the Alliance clubs have quite a
large establishment, carrying between
f< nr and five thousand dollars’ worth
of goods and doing a fine business. A*
Roscoe Dr. Starr keeps a full assort
ment of merchandise, and also sells
drugs. Mr. John Wester is doing a
good business in the mercantile line
near the line of Campbell. Mr. Geo.
Powell has a store at Powelville. The
colored people have a co-operative
store at Jones Hill, and speak of estab
lishing another near Powelville. These
stores are till making' money. This is
evident, else they would not continue,
and are a great convenience to the coun
try people. I don’t see, though, how the
people can support so many country
stores in addition to those of the neigh
boring towns and villages. There is
but one solution to the question, and
that is the farmer don’t raise his own
supplies. It costs between 15 and 20
cents to raise a bushel of corn, when, if
compelled to buy, Os many do,) it costs
from 80c to per bushel. Meat can
be raised at 3 or 4 cents, and yet it takes
10 or 12 cents to buy a pound. It is
high time the farmers were beginning
to appreciate these facts.
I will answer “Farmer” soon.

Mr. Editor:— Mr. Sam Hill, who has
been depot agent and telegraph opera
tor here for some time, has moved to
Montgomery. We learn that Mr. J.
R. Germany will fill the place made va

Mr. Editor:—Mrs. Ann Kelly, wife
of John W. Kelly, of whose illness men
tion was made in your last issue, died
at her home in the Seventh district on
Thursday, 18th inst. Deceased was a
sister of Mrs. J. W. Cook of this dis-
trict, and of J. A. Byrain of Cedar
Creek district. She was a consistent
member of the Primitive Baptist church
Burk’s Performing' Horses.
On Tuesday evening, November Gth,
Prof. J. K. Burk, the celebrated horse-
trainer, will give an exhibition at
Reese’s Opera House, the like of which
has never before been witnessed here.
He will have five horses on the stage at
one time, which have been trained tr>
perform feats that are really wonder
ful, concerning which the New Orleans
Times-Democrat of a recent date says:
The phenomenal degree of education
which can be inqjarted to horses was
never better illustrated than last night
by Prof. T. K. Burk’8 Eques-curriculum.
This troupe of performing horses, seve
ral in number, are of Arabian Mexican
breed, and aside from the wonder of
their performances, impress the specta
tor with the beauty of their physical
perfection. With almost human intel
ligence, these animals, in obedience to
! commands given in ordinary tones, and
, without any coaching from whip or
1 sign, do all kinds of imaginable things,
from distinguishing colors to picking
out any number indicated by the audi
ence, telling the days of the week, etc.
In marching single and double column.
| and by platoons, their evolutions are
j wonderfully accurate. Their trial scene,
wherein a wise-looking donkey officiate*
' as judge, is intensely amusing.
