OSSENGER. PIER, Editor. i'I'K.GA. Ai'kii. 14. 1"!. third* of the peach crop of i i Georgia, is said to be a total loss. A shrewd South Carolina lawyer hnß printed on his letter paper: To , Colonel : Dear Colonel : Miss Gluddia Homan, of Maple ton, 111., suicided by poison be cause her brother would not allow her to sleep late in the morning. Mrs Robitißon, of Boston has applied for admission to the bar, and is the first Masschusetts wo man to claim the right to practice law. A Georgia boy who wrote to ( Santa Cl us fora pony, was wise enough to add : “Postcript It he , is a mule, Plrse ty his behine legs.” , They know what a mule is in j Georgia. *— Miss Lou Ramey, of Rome, Ga., 1 thoughtlessly swallowed a small sprig of cedar, some weeks ago, 1 and it is feared she will die from 1 its effects. It found lodgmert in the lungs, causing inflammation,!* which has resulted in two severe 1 hemorrhages. Courier-Journal says: —“The Chi- ( nese wall we contemplated build- t ing between Kentucky and Ten- | nessee will not be needed, ’' etude, | after having herself grave doubts ( on the subject, bus succeeded by a scratch in showing that she is an honest woman who pri:;e3 her virt ue and pays her debt.” Col. Torn Crutchfield sold Arn nicola, his beatiful farm near this city, to A. J. Wisdom and Lewis Owen yesterday for 332,000 cash. The farm is situated five miles east of the city, near Rovce Station, embracing between 1100 and 1200 acres, 360 of which are bottom lands. — Chattanooga Times. Harvey Daniel, a colored man who keeps a story at the upper end of Broad street, informs us that his store was broken into Thursday night and robbed of 82-13.75. Sev eral weeks ago, ho lost tlio key to his iron safe (old style Herring), and he thinks some one who had heard of the lost key, found it, and entered the store. — Rome ('mirier. Covington Star: “Three vocks were thrown into the accomodation train on last Thursday evening as it was coming down under full headway, about half way between Hamilton’s crossing and Yellow river, one of them breaking a win dow glass of the smoking car, and the other breaking two of the win dows in the ladies’ car, and throw ing the broken glass over a lady passenger. The rocks were thrown by two men at the side of the road, who were plainly seen by the con ductor and train hands. t Sunbury, Penn., April 8. —This afternoon this community was shocked to hear of the shooting of Lottie Hover, aged seventeen years by her brother George, aged only fourteen years, which took place about three mi'es from here, on the road leading to Shamokin. The boy came late to dinner, and a disturbance arose between him and his sister. J'e left the table and went into an out room, remarking ‘‘l'll fix you,” and got a shot gun, came around and entered the front door, and, on stepping in, shot Lot tie. She fell, and never spoke.

Yours truly, Petek Bowen An Editor’s Escape. Office Industrial Era, ) Albia, la., May, 1880. j 1o Whom it may Concern: I take great pleasure in making j the following statement: I have been oflLcted with a disease of the kidneys for the past two years, and | have tried numerous remedies j with only partial and temporary relief. Warners’e Safe Kidney and Liver Cure was recommended to, me, and after taking it the pain and distress left me, and lam to- 1 day feeling itrong and well. I ntn perfectly satisfied that Warner's Safe Kidney a. d Liver Cure is the medicine needed, and can cheer fully recommend it to others. G. W. G A MM. FEorn rorsTv. Rome. — At the risk of being *u pcrfluotts. for I see you have quit a plethora of Roman correspondent. I will take up n y thrtirj where I ceased winding last. First of all for a little correction: 1 told you | that the loss by the flood was only about 130,000. This, as the sad I sequel has shown, was a'> error, hut I don’t know ns I should say the flood, hut rather the recee'Mng waters, revealed more loss than the water at its height. The fact is, it washed away a bank in the lower part of the city, which ?50,000 can ! hardly repair. All the “rocks’’ j contributed by our business men and carried to the bank to keep it j on a solid foundation, it appears, were no better than salt, for all were washed away and the whole superstructure was exposed to view immediately after the flood re ceded. I have not yet heard of i any steps being taken to give evi dence of sympathy for the gentle man who built the bunk, but con siderable sorrow lias been expressed by individuals, over the sad calam ity nevertheless. Rome will put on her best looks next May, when the philosophers of the tripod shall come to enjoy her hospitality; and unless signs j have no value, the occasion will ho i one calculated to give mutual j pleasure and benefit. The Ml.-.- j SLNGF.i: will be represented f course? Don’t get proud ,i... u J ! tel! you that yotir paper does you | honor, and if it is not appreciated by about 6,000 subscribers before j the year is up, it will not be because j you don’t deserve it. Owing to tbo continued cool j and unseasonable weather, things ! about here are rather backward j compared with former seasons. Tn fact 'we are having northern I weather, and | eople are taken by , surprisoby this climatieal phenome non. Where it is to end time alone ; can demonstrate. Cotton conies in slowly, owing no j doubt to the fact that farmers are busy at home; but our receipts of 110,000 bales will nevertheless he realized before the new crop ma tures. The self-sacrificing character of one of the managers of the Rome Bank is, if reports he true, very commendable. II is made to say by one of our papers, that he wi.l give up all his pri' 'te property to make good the lossrs to depositors. This is only equaled by one case in history, where the great Arterous 1 Ward, to save the Union, was will ing to eacrific all his wife’s relatives, and even the coat off his brother’s back. We will seo what we will see. Yours, A. T. Random. Rome. —Last Monday as one of the Coosa river steamers came up from Gadsden, n colored man be longing to the crew, discovered about three miles below this city, in a mass of driftwood, what he supposed to be the body of a dead man. When the boat arrived here the rumor gained circulation on the street anil parties went down in batteaux to the place indicated. When they reach there they found the body to be that of Dick Griffith who so mysteriously disappeared five weeks ago. He lacked only a a day of remaining under the water four weeks. His remains were brought to the city in tho afternoon and that night, after holding and inqust, the coroner re turned a verdict of accidental drowning, as no marks of violence were found on his peison to justify the suspicion of foul play. On Tuesday he was taken to Rock mart, the home of his father. My only comment, dissipation— death. Wednesday morning at 1 o’clock the fire alarm was sounded, and it was soon discovered tha :he First Baptist Church (col.) wes burning. It had gained such hrnu.vay that, when assistance came, it was too late, ft was entirely destroyed'. It is a rather remarkable fact Mint the been burned in this county during the past two months, all belonging to the Baptists. The burning of | this v. as accidental. A good crowd was at tho Opera i House Thursday to witness the | performance of “Uncle Tom’s Cab- j in.” It is strange that a play which j would not be seen by a Southern j j audience a few years ago, can now j | touch the tenderest placet of the most strong-hearted, ns was ilius- 1 trated on Thursday night. It was ; better than looked for. Last Thursday J. Wyatt sold his ■ liquor business to J. J. Baldwin & j Co., of Atlanta, who w ill continue 1 tm. .raffle at the same stand.

Bkdford. —As I am a native <>t j your state, ami love my old home, | I would like to say a few words to j the boys along the beautiful valley j of Duck Creek. Dear schoolmates, I left you last ; September. 1 came to Texnr ir. | search of the honey pan and fritter j tree, but I have not found the ob jects ot my search. My money ! gave out, and my pony broke down j and 1 turned him out on the range. I will have to walk the rest of the way, and do not know how I will make it through the sand. I do rot think a truthful man ) could stay here one month, and say he had no sand in his gizzard. If he c.hould do so, he would never part his lips. A man in Texas without a string to his hat is out of luck. The health of this section of country is generally good. I Laborers on the farm get from I fourteen to twenty dollers a month, j I Land here is worth from four to 1 ten dollars per acre. Wood und water are senree. I There are good things in this ■ part of the world, but many bad things are mingled with the good. I have traveled most of the time since I came here. I have seen a little of Texas, and if I was in Georgia I would stay there. I am not capable of advising any one, and will say come ahead, boys, j or stay in Georgia, just as you like. | If you come, tell your pa I would like <o rent some wheat land. I am stopping with an old Tennes seean. He lives in the east cross timbers, and says that “Texas is Texas any way you fix it, and brandy is brandy anyway you mix it.” People who have good homes in j Georgia had better remain with them. Ido not know the feelings j of others, but I had rather live , '< where there is good society, schools, , j and health, than to live in this part of the world. I There is plenty of good and cheap land here, but still it is not a desir- I able place to live. I will tell you how I was initiated when I came here. One fellow gave me n drink, | and two others roped and saddled -a pony about the size of a sheep; when I came to myself I was feel ing of my shirt to see how much of : filling was left in it. If you come : here, boys, eall on tne. You will find me on Little Boar Creek, where ! there k no bad things, but plenty j of peace and hominy, and good i fatty bread.
