FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Turin.
Mr. Editor:—On Sunday night last,
about 11 o’clock, tho barn of Mrs. Dr.
Pago was burned. Tho barn, a lino
horse, ono nude, a young cow, and
about two hundred bushels of corn
were destroyed. Tho loss amounts to
$800. The lire was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary, who deserves
tho severest punishment that the law
inflicts for such offenses. Just one
wook previous to this burning the
dwelling of Mrs. Susan Hunter was de
stroyed by tire, and thus two of our
aged ladies have suffered, losses that
they are ill able to bear. Ilad it not
been for the timely waking of Miss
Npra Page, and tho haste with which
flip readied the scene of conflagration,
other valuable stock would have per
ished in the flames, and but for tho
timely assistance of neighbors tl
common occurrence among this race for
parents to abandon their childron.

Mr. Editor:—New Year’s gift, to ye
Editor, staff and renders. I wish you
all a happy, prosperous new year. The
old year has just passed out and gone
forever. Now let each of us renew our
vows and pray God to help us keep
them; to do more for His enuso and
kingdom on earth; to lovo cadi other
hotter and God supremely through tho
ent ire year, those of us who profess to
know Him in the free pardon of sin.
Eot us work wit h an eye single to suc
cess in llis kingdom. Let us,, by our
walk, conversation and general doport-
ment before men, so act thill those
around us may say of us, “Truly, t ruly,
these are working disciples;” and that
t hoso less fortunate may be constrained
to glorify Him whom we love and glor-
dwelling would have been destroyed I Eot onch and nil forgive and far-
also. Such villainy must be suppressed, tho pnst—so far, especially, as dif-
elso liolploss women will be at t he nun*
cy of tho midnight destroyer. Tho
wyltor believes that tho time is coming
when vigilance committees will be nood-
ediin nearly every neighborhood, as the
onijf effective means of preventing such
acta of deviltry.

Mr. Editor: -On Sunday morning lust
our community was startled at. the
news that two little boys in the neigh
borhood had been bitten by a rabid
dog. About daylight on the above
morning Mr. W. W. Garni teal's little
son, Wultor, aged 10 years, was outsid
tho yard, when he was suddenly at
tacked by a dog. Tho dog seized his
arm near tho wrist, making a frightful
gash, and then bit him in the face, hip,
and calf of the leg. Mr. Curmleal car
ried ttyo child at once to Dr. Tldwoll, at
Pairburn, who applied tho famous mud
stone to tho wounds, and, wo under
stand, with good effect. The dog, up
on loavfng Mr. Ciirndcnl’s, nmdo its
way ncross to Mr. Isaac It. Sowell’s and
jumping into tho verandah where h
little son, Homer, and another of tho
children wore at play, sprung upon lit
tie Homer and fastened its tooth in his
cheek, just under tho right oyo, making
a dreadful wound. Mr. David Sowell,
an older brother, happened to bo near
at baud and run to the assistance of his
little brother. IIo succeeded Anally in
knocking tho infuriated bruto down,
though notjioforo it had made despor-
ato efforts to bite him, also. It wont
in the direction of Mr, E. S. Daniel’s,
where I learn it bit ono of his dogs. At
last accounts the animal was still at
largo.
Mr. Sowell took his little son to Fair-
burn^also, but Mr. (,'arrnical having al
ready arrivod and engaged the uso of
tho mudstone ho returned to Newnan
for the purpose of consulting Mrs. Dan
iel Walker, .who was roportod to bo in
possession of a mudstone. Wo liavo not
learned whether ids mission here
successful or not.
Doth families have the sympathies of
the entire community.
Mr. John Duke, of this district, had a
line mule bitten by a rabid dog four or
live weeks ago. During the holidays
tho mule was seized with convulsions
and would bit© at everything that enmo
within roach. It exhibited unmistaka
ble symptoms of rabies and died a hor
rible death. To prevent the spread of
the disease by dogs attacking the dead
carcass Mr. Duke had the mule crema
ted.
1 feel it my duty, as a faithful corres
pondent, to put the public upon notice
concerning those casualties, and would
advise that every dog found running at
large bo summarily despatched.
Mr. A. F. Carmical authorizes mo to
say that he will pay a reward of $10 for
the arrest of one Ed Dowell, colored,
who eloped with Wesley Hints’ wife
(also colored) on the 24th of December.
Hints’ wife left four small children.
Powell deserted his wife and five help
less children. Powell is about 20 years
of age, 5 feet 3 inches in height, weighs
185 pounds, very black, with a scalded
place on the top of his head. The wo
man is gingercakc color, about 5 feet
10 inches height, and weighs 180
pounds. The/are supposed to bo in
Carroll, Douglas or Paulding counties,
or at Tallapoosa, Home or Chattanoog a.
Sims, the deserted husband, offers an
additional reward of $5 for the arrest of
the guilty pair. Powell is a desperado
and has numerous scars on his body
produced by knife cuts, and one gun
shot wound. It is getting to be a vevy
fereneosof opinion are concerned; and
socially, politically and religiously,
work for onch other’s interest. Lot all
broken ties bo wielded, all hard feel
ing be buried, all disappointments bo
forgotten, and establish within our
hearts the fundamental principles of
t ho golden rule, and practice tho sumo.
Do theso things and next. Christmas
will And the living roaders of Till’.
Hmiiald and Advf.utimf.u a happy,
satisliod, prosperous pooplo—including'
ye Editor and stfiff. Wit h kindest feel
ings for all, I am fratornully,
Huadlky.
1*. S.—Charlie Addy, colored, living
at. Mr. D. E. Smith’s, happened to a so
vero accident, last Sunday night. In
removing a gun from tho rack, it slipped
from his hands, the hununor striking a
bench and exploding. Tho content
passed through his arm throo inches
above the wrist, breaking both bones
and tearing tho flesh frightfully. Dr
McCrary and Hogg were sent for, and
It was thought at llrst, that amputatioi
would be necessary. After a tliorougl
examination, however, tho doctors de
cided that tho baud could bo saved.
Act ing upon this decision thoy stitched
and dressed t he wound, and the patient
is resting very well at this writing.
Though a young man, Charlie has none
of tho worthless traits that char
izu liis race, but is a good hand, a good
boy, and every one, both white and
black, sympathize with him in his mis
fortune, R,

Mr. Editor:—lln\)])y Now Yoar to
Tins JIkham) and Advjsutihkh and
its readers! Even though old 1888, in
rotiring, took all hissuiishino with him.
wo will not huliavo that kind Nature
holds none in atom for I ho year she
ushered in with tears and clouded
skies.
Tho beautiful weather of Christ mas
week gave opportunity for Hie fullest
enjoyment, of the season. Family re
unions, friendly interchange of visits,
and joyous social gatherings, furnished
onjoymont long to linger in tho mom
orios of I,lie happy participants.
At Mr. McMichael’s, wo learn, a par
ly of pleasure-loving young folks mot
on Christmas night.
Wednesday evening was made me
orahlo to a goodly number by u delight
ful gathering in the spacious and hos
pitable mansion of lion. J. H. (lood-
wyn. Luscious fruits, elegant cake,
and dainty confections added to the en
joyment of tho occasion. r j’ho candies
were specially enjoyed, as being mostly
manufactured by the skillful hands of
the lovely hostess.
Thursday evening found the young
folks, all-deflant of the frosl-laden
night air, hieing to t he home of Mr.
Ham Walker, where varied enjoyments
combined to while the merry hours
away. Conspicuously interesting
among the gay company were a bridal
pair, both of whom wero formerly
members of that community, and who,
blending their destinies, have roturned
to make their new homo among old
friends. Mr. John Wright and Miss
Lilia Carmichael were married at tho
home of the bride’s parents in Atlanta
on Christmas day. The groom’s well
established reputation for industry,
steadiness and many good qualities of
head and heart gives assurance that, he
will act well his part towards making
their mutual happiness, while t he fair
young girl who has entrusted her fu
ture to his keeping contributes tho
bright presence, tho dainty taste, the
skill and industry so necessary to tho
making of a home. May the beams of
love and pence from tho Christmas star
under whose auspices their union wa
consummated, brighten for them life'
pathway forever!

first Monday in January. Present
prospects encourage the hope of a good
attendance. Subbchibkb.

OBITUARY.
Edgar C. Stallings was born Novem
ber 20th, 1801, and died December'20th,
1888, having barely reached tho 27th
milestone in tho journey of life. In his
sudden and unexpected death wo have
a forcible illustration of tho truth that
“tho King of Shadows loves a shining
mark.” 4| o • .
While the deceased* waiffibt without
Ida faults, yet his many noble traits of
character far outweighed all tho fail
ings and imperfections of which he may
have been possessed. Nature, with lav
ish hand, had bestowed upon himnmiry
of her most precious gift s ITo was in
tellectual. cultured and roflnod. lie
had a high appreciation of tho standard
works of literat ure and art, which In*
studied diligently, with a view to his
mohtnl and moral Improvement. His
favorite authors wore hiH companions
luring his leisure I tours. Only a few
days before bis death, he road aloud in
tho writer’s hearing. .“The Loom of
Life,” “Tho Closing Scone,” “Charity,”
and several othor piecos of Hhiulav
character, and commented with >hu
t iisto and accuracy of a critic on tho
most, striking characteristics of each.
He was polished and re lined in man
ners. During mi intimate acquaintance
and a companionship extending
through many years, tho writer of this
heartfelt- tribute does not remember,
on any occiudon, to have heard him use
a vulgarism or a slang phrnso: but on
the contrary, handled attention 1o It
whenever he noticed such a breach oi
propriety in others.
He was independent in thought and
Hpoooh. He t raveled “u highway of Ids
own,” and never turned aside to play
Hie it/irt of a sycophant in order to in
gratiate himself in tho favor of the rich
and great.
IIe was ambitious, but his ambition
was tit attain to an honorable, useful
position in society. His ideal of life
was high, but,ho hoped and felt that,
by untiring perseverance, lie would he
able to scale tho rugged Iwdghts of ev
ery obstacle and reach the goal at, last.
In the early part of the present year
he was wedded to Miss Willie People*},
of Selina, Ala.; but before t he llrst an
niversary of their nuptials he was rude
ly torn from her embrace. During the
joyful occasion of tho Chlstmas festivi
ties, when all tho world was rejoicing
and making merry, he laid down forev
er life’s unlinisjietl task.
“IN tell 11mm aeon him lllwim untimely front
I'l’oii tho aweofoHt llowor of nil llio field.”
He died of paralysis. Tin had long
been a sulTercr Irom pulmonary troub
les. The best, physicians of the eoun-
i-v had assured him that his case was
h'M,. |, *«, vet lie hero tip with heroic
fort itinle to ihe last. Just before his
death, when suffering agonies of pain,
he f..irl to ids father. “I will be glad
wIumi I he end comes. He knew that
death, the end of his mortal existence,
would be the end of all tint disappoint
ments, of idl the sorrows, of all the
pain* and Ills of this life, tho dawn of a
brighter life beyond. “Unshrinkingly
lie passed beyond our horizon, beyond
: the twilight's purple hills, beyomf the
utmost reach of human hnrm or help, to
Hi it vast realm of silence or of joy,
where the innumerable dwell,” ami
now in anguish of spirit wo cry out-
"< I rent find t how could thy vcugcnticc llglit
Sol.lt ici ly on one no bright.
I low could tlm liiiml Hint gave such charms
Iilnsl Ilium again?"
He was n member of the Methodist
church. In speaking to his mother of
his spiritual condition he said that he
knew he had fallen short of his dut y in
many respects, yet upon the wholo he
bad done the best lie could under tbo
cimimst uncos, and didn't*believe that
God in His mercy would consign him ttf
eternal punishment.
Dear friend, wo trust that—
“ Death Iiiih colon

c blossoms front the free,

And we will trust hi (Jod to set. thoo yot

Card of Thanks.
Once more on Life’s boat, sailing in
health. AHor a protracted illness,
lasting throo long months, we are nil
once more enjoying the rich blessings
of health, for which we feel more than
thankful to those wii.o were so kind t;o
us, and especially to our God. We take
this method, therefore, of expressing
our grat itude and high appreciation for
tin? numerous kindnesses and favors
shown by friends, relatives, neighbors
and physicians, for what they so cheer
fully mid willingly did for us. Those
who visited and mingled with us in our
son'ows and troubles well know how
slonder was the throat) upon which the
lives of my dear ones hung—not in one
case only, but three, who were 'placed
in the ballances to be weighed at one
time, sustained only by tiie last hope of
life. It is easy to understand, then,
how one can appreciate the value of
health and the Kindness of frlondo, for
we did not suffer a day either for the
best medical aid or the kind attentions
of neighbors and friends. -Language is
inadequate to express Our gratitude to
those who came to our relief with such
sympathetic hearts and willing hands;
and we sincerely hope and implore the
great I Am that if it should be the sad
fate of any of those who ministered to
to our wants to be similarly afflicted,
(which we hopo will never, never bo.)
that the Heavenly Father will, through
His kind providence, so situate us as to
be able to render unto them assistance
and attention to tho full extent of their
needs and wants.
Respectfully and gratefully submit
ted to our friends in general.
