Outragious Affair In Macon

Moore was iu Macon Saturday afternoon
loitering around the passenger depot. On
the 4:20 train from Savannah arrived a
young lady who gavo her name as JIami e
Little, who having been left an orphan
came to Macon in search of relations. Moore
was introduced to the lady by a casual ac¬
quaintance aud under the pretense of tak¬
ing her t« a boarding house carried her to
v house of ill-repute where she was outrag¬
eously treated by this scoundrel. ’Ihe girl
was rescued by the police and placed iu the
hands of a farmer near Macon who agreed
to give her a Lome, Moore has been arrest¬
ed an t lodged in jail and wili have his case
fully investigated when the Superior Court
convenes. Excitement ran so high in .Ma¬
con during Monday and Tuesday that an
extra force of officers had to bo detailed and
stationed at the jail to prevent the lynching

Moore was formerly a polieomaniu Macon

mals.
—By reference to the official proceedings

ordered for Friday, September 3rd, to select

■—During the Mexican War a company of
troops was raised in Lumpkin and took a

whistling for its lost mate.
— The Executive Committe of the Twelfth
Senatorial District, which embraces the

Lumpkin as the place. According to the
rotation system it is now Quit man’s turn to
select the candidate and in case she cannot
produce a suitable mau in her own territo¬
ry will have the privoiege of making a selec¬
tion from the eutiro District.
A Business mau can have no better friend
than a please d cm.tomr. A fair number
of Iheui provides him with his bread aud
butter. A host ot them builds him up a
fortune. The secret of success iu trade is
to inducee a purchaser to come
again, aud finally to think of no other store
but,his when iu woutof anything iu his line.
This is the principle we arc building on,
uud know every buyer will appreciate it
aiter he has once made our acquaintance.
Our aim is to get your trade, not to make
all the money we can out of you at the first
picking Wo ask an early call to convince
you tliat these are facts.

Railroad Meeting In Americus.
Amekicus, Ga., Aug. 11, 1886.
Etuioits Independent.— At a large and
enthusiastic meeting of citizens to-day at
the couH house, Hon. C F Crisp delivered
one of liis characteristic addresses iu favor
of a railroad to the East. At the conclusion
Hon. It F Watts, of Stewart,was vociferous
ly called for and although the speaker stated
lie was very unwell it was ilot long before
he held his audience spell boiiud.-filiich last
ed to the oud.
“Dooly and Wilcox cotinties,” salt! (lie
speaker, “have about raibcd their fifty-fiVo
thousand dollars of subscriptions. Won’t
Sumter present a pretty sight to go to these
stock and sheep raising farmers and say life
know you have raised your amount selling
sheep, chickens and eggs; we admire your
patriotism but Sumter can’t rai.su her forty
thousand dollars- she has got too many
rich men (cheers.) Fellow citizens, if this
money is ever raised it must bo done by the
public-spirited poor people. God bless
them. Let the rich men alone. God Al¬
mighty lets the rich men alone and why not
we? (loudcheers.)
When Lumpkin and Stewart County were
trembling in the balance; when it seemed
that our people had done all they
could, but still lacked teu thousand dollars,
we had our rich men as you have who would
do nothing. Well we called a public meet¬
ing and Dr. Gregory seemed to rise up like
as though inspired aud proposed that all of
us who had g.veu would double up aud thus
ten thousand dollars was raised aiul.the A
P & L directors said it was the sweetest
ever had.
S H Hawkins is the right man in the right
place. Some of you are trying to say that
Hawkins’ pluck, energy aud perscrverunce
will put the read through; you say lie has
the money of his own to put it through, I
don’t believe he has, (laughter.) While he
has energy,pluck and nerve a plenty, he also
has a little sense, (renewed applause.) Stop
your bickering, open your hearts and save
Americus.”
To say t! a' the address was well received dot s
but poorly express it. It was grand, appro¬
priate and witty. In Hon. It F Watts our
people recognize a patriot, a fiuc law j er and
polished orator. May his voice yet rever¬
berate in the halls of. Congress, not on'y iu
behalf of the people of Stewart, but for the
people of Georgia. No man in the district
would be truer to every trust imposed.
Immediately after the address he hurried
to the train Ur Ilawkinsville to attend the
Congressional Convention, and thus we
were unable to procure from him a copy of
his magnificent speech. Ethel. ,

Lumjikui is distinguished for the refine¬
ment of its citizenship, for its natural health¬
fulness atid fibsohite freedom from induce¬
ments to Vice and extravagance.
The School Building is creditable to the
town and County.
The Discipline of the School will be ra
lional, yet firm as adamant. No type of Ed¬
ucation is worth the possession which does
not make its recipient a success in life.. This
kind of Education can be acquired by close
application uifou the part of pnpii; with tin
remitting effort and untiring energy upon
the teacher’s parti The alliance of parent,
pupil Each’copartner and teacher is supremely sacred.
in this great business must
do his pari. Therefore:—it is demanded ol
the conscientious parent that he visit tba
school-room, at least occasionally, at any
hour during school worki that his children
be kept in school regularly: that any and all
amusements', which tend to distract the pu¬
pil’s mind from his studies, be entirely ig¬
nored; finally, that parents co-operate hon¬
estly and earnestly with the efforts of teach¬
ers and pupils in the grandest, noblest work
to which the human mind ever addressed
itself. The patronage of parents and guar¬
dians who endorse the abovo statements is
earnestly solicited. The patronage of those
who disapprove them is nqt desired.
jp&'Competcnt assistants in Literary De¬
partment w;ll be ioi engaged and when necessary
Arrangements Music Drawing wilt
