The negro that was supposed to
have chased Miss Eula Hill from
near her fathers home to Sycamore
yesterday, was brought in from
Ruby bj the Sycamore Regulators,
last evening about sundown. The
negro insisted on being taken be¬
fore Mis 3 Hill at once, and we have
not learned what was done with
Sambo afterwards. We can’t help
but think the negro is innocent of
any intention to molest the young
lady, from the fact of its being al¬
most in the heart of our little town
and on a highway where people are
continually passing. In case he is
guilty Id. the fed penalty of justice
that would be demanded by an out-
r-i:'( i! community, be meted oat to
him ; we are in favor of thi«. On
the other hand, if he is innocent—
it doesn't matter how vilianuu-; he
may appear—let him go unmolest-
ed and unharmed; wo, are also, in
favor of this.

Our School.
Sycamore is destined (and that,
in the near future) to be the educa¬
tional center of all Southern Geor¬
gia ; there is evidence of this asser¬
tion cropping up every day.
Ninety-four students now answer
to the roll-call of this important
factor in Sycamore’s history, and
yet, new names are added to the
list every week.
Parents wishing to educate their
children are just wakeing up to the
advantages to be derived, by send¬
ing them to the Sycamore Institute.
And knowing that her facilities
cannot be surpassed, as a prepara¬
tory school, wo cheerfully and uu-
hesitateingly invite those living at
a distance, as well as those nearer
home, to send your children to
Sycamore Academy.
All of the advantages that the
most zealous and solicitous parents
could provide for their children at
home is found right here.
Sycamore's location iu good, her
climate is healthful, water pure,
church facilities the best, socif-iy
intelligent and refined, all of which
tend to make it the best and most
desirable educational centre in
South-west Georgia.
Board can bs obtained with good
families cheap, and the best of care

WRITTEN FOIi THE NEWS.]
From Lonisanna.
Hammond, La., Feb. 12, 1S93.
Editor Irwin Co., News :
At the request of my many frien¬
ds of dear old Sycamore and the
good old county ot Irwin, and a,-*
cording to promise. I ask the favor
of the News to allow space for my
correspondence. I’ll not attempt
to soar into the beautiful garden of
language oric, and pluck flowers garlands, of .Rhet¬
to wreathe into ffr
comment, but merely express thy
trip in simple, plain language th t
the old and yout g may able
*
understand.
Well, I left with a heavy heard
leaving our old country, endeared
by many friends among whom I'd
spent many a pleasant hour; leav¬
ing all I’d ever worked for, all I ev¬
er knew and all friendship and kin¬
dred 2 § dear to me, and launch for
a home unknown, unseen .and fin-
heard of. Now I can look backpat
old Irwin and say “So near, ye;-so
far.” In passing over the G. S. <fe
F. and B. & W., and S. W. lid’s,, it
was night, and nothing happened
to break the monotony tiil we arri-
ved at the city of Moutgome.-v.
Nothing transpired there exeunt we
had to transfer to the L & N. Svs-
tern, with only ten minutes to get
ready for a journey through Ala-
barna and Mississippi. On through
Ala., for one hundred miles.we pass-
ed through most fertile ever wit-
nessed. The entire country was un-
der culti vation and every plow .was
drawn cither by two mules or two
ox-;’ , one, 1 suppose, to lean again-
st the other to hold their “equipoi-
se mr tne mud wa 3 some feet deep
All roads turnpiked and planked or
other wise,the axles of wagons would
drag the ground.
All of a sudden we merged into
diversified country—one moment
gliau.g through a tunnel and the
next overlooking a stupendous prec-
ipice. Fo- fifty miies we found this
broken country with rocis aud oli-
fl'g, angling nnd bisecting with r.B
"uieli pitcision ia Geometrical
squares u,1( 1 inteilines, as it put
therewith hands of skill, yet, on
the very peaks of those little moun¬
tains we could see little rude huts,
aud the old gentleman plowing his
ox —•>- mule could not cleave to the
side of the mountain.
On into Mobile, which we found
to be a nice city whose streets were
so close''tid the trr,ius running down
centre of streets till passengers can
sit in the car and purchase f rom the
store?. The noble buildings on eitb
ftr fi |de Icing so high and grand un-
til it seemed that you were passing
through a mammoth bride. We had
to leave this city without time for
lurch, and from there to New Or¬
leans—a distance of 175 miles—the
sights were so great and the scene¬
ry so grand until the “Georgia
Cracker” would stand in perfect
amazement, the entire distance bor¬
dering the Gulf of Mexico. On the
banks of the Gulf we would had a
town established for miles as a
summer resort for Northern pleas¬
ure seekers and suffice it to say, ev¬
erything was perfectly lovely ; then
again lightening we would bo gliding, almost
at above speed across waters,
just its surface, with boats
and ships sailing above and below
the train; on for miles, until the
lands behind you would disappear
in the iar distant, then no lend is
visible, and about the time von be¬
gin to fee! ticklish, and wonder what
the foundation of a railroad could
be built out. of, he can see in the
other horizon, a skirt of land which
strengthens his hope of landing sale
again. On we went, without stop¬
ping to eat, for twenty-four hour ,
and 6 o’clock Wednesday eve, we
landed in the commercial metrop¬
olis of the South, New Orleans.
And right here, I will state, is a
cits' of which the whole South (eels
proud day and well it does. We spent
one on street cars,electric cars
and Dummy lines’ viewing this
mammoth city. We could go eight
miles in every direction. Just think
a city of 250,000 inhabitants—one
town as large as the second diet, of
Irwin county, a population equal
to all the cities of Georgia. The
wealth of one block equal to one
city in Georgia, and the wealth ol
one building could buy the whole
of Ashburn and Sycamore. A wh.rl
live miles long, with one hundred
boats, from a skiff to a mammoth
ship, sailing from point to point,
trying to unload her cargo. The
Mississippi—the father of waters—
neing one mile wide ii3re at this
point is kept in an uproar ail the
time with boats plowing her sur¬
face with loads of exports and im¬
port* ; also, two large—very large—
Wqt» are kept busy transfer ing
whole trams from one side of the
riv >r to the other, this sight I had
the pleasure to see.
Now I will leave this mammoth
city and let. cur readers draw on
their imaginations as to its great-
ae?s. Up the Iliinoise Central, one
of the greatest roads in the U. S.,
we go. J. D. McKenzie.

IN MEMORIAL,
Of James I. Clements, who Died
February 6tli, 1893.
Death has come and taken from us
One that we for years have known,
And our hearts are bowed in sadn’ss
Knowing he’s forever gone.
Gone from this world of trial,
Where life’s frail craft he steered,
Gone from his loving family
To whom he was endeared,
Gone from his fond acquaintances,
With whom life’s joys he shared
Gone from the busy marts of trade,
Where he could ill be spared.
Gone from his loved companion
And left her here to tnouin,
For his Supreme Grand Master
Had summoned bioi to come.
To come and leave his family,
That he so fondly loved,
To join with the Fraternity
Iu the Grand Lodge above,

THE FIUE PIES US CARNIVAL.
At Mbley (la., February 8th, 188:5.
BY I,. S. MIX.
I To com? 8 , he comes; the lire fiend comes
On high he rolls with glee,
Nor reeks he ought of man’s distress
For a merciless Head is he.
ile stalks about iu the mirk midnight,
And lavuvus the chilly sdr,
The sleeper wakes, and starts with dread
To hear the cry of “Fire!”
’Tis sal to see the work of years
O’er tnnied in i n hour's Lime,
To see blows wasted we have struck,
Een, in our manhoods’s prime.
To see our labor turn to dust,
From whieli at first it came,
And (eel in the eve of tile’s decline
We must strike those blows again.
As each reverse a lesson brings,
By this one we may glean
That, too much care cannot be used,
To defeat the loui “Fire Fiend.”
i
And though through many weary years
We plod along life’s way,
May we never see such w anton waste,
As tile “Fire Fiend” wrought to-day.
The Printer’s Consolation.
Tell me, ye winged winds,
That ’round my pathway lay,
Is there no place on earth
Where whispering printers get their pay?
The breeze went by—
With accents filled wi'h woe
A voice borne on the sorrowing air
In sadness answered, “No.”
Tell me, yo flowing streams,
That smoothly glide along,
Is there one cherished place
Where printers meet no wrong?
The gentle brook replied,
In murmers soft and low,
And winding on its verdant way,
It meekly answered, “No.”
Tell me, ye mnrksy clouds,
Now rising in the west,.
Is there upon the globe
One spot by printers blest?
The 11 lihis g cloud? .ruAspoke
With an indignant glow,
A voice that filled the earth with awe
In thundei? answered, “No.”
Tell me, bard-boated man,
Withholding day by day,
Is there no honor in thy breast
The printer’s bid so pay?
Unanewering turns he round —
How plain his actions show ;
An uttered oath-capped sound is
beard
His actions answered, “No.”
Tell me, ye gentle nymphs,
Who bless life’s hours through,
Is there one sacred shrine
Where printers her get their due?
Amantli’g blush cheeks diffus’d
Did ten fold grace impart,
A soft responsive sigh replied,
"Tie found in woman’s heart.”'
Tell me, angelic hosts,
Ye messengers of love,
Shall suitering printers here below
Have no redress above?
The angel band replied :
“To us, is knowledge given—
Delinquents on the printer’s books,
Can never enter Heaven 1”
