* Read this everybody i
k narrative or military operators
DIRECTED BY OEN. JOSEPH K. JOHNSTON
DURING THE LATE WAR
This book, written by General Johnston,
t now offered to the public, and will
doubtless prove one of the most tlirilliugly
intereating works ever offered to the
Routlreru public, and particularly to the
Southern soldiers that was under his com
mand. Though concisely written, it em
braces every material fact in regard to his
operations. To his soldier boys it will
awaken many sad as well as pleasing
reminiscences. It will turn back the pages
of memory and present vividly to the
recollection the many battlefields, the
many comrades and co-sufferers that fell
and is no more", tlte many hard conflicts,
the weary marches throngh rain and
shine, oold and heat; and the croakers
behind the army and out of danger should
carefully read his truthful statement, and
in it behold the imbecility of their criti- i
cisrns and their wanton and unjustifiable
persecutions of this great commander.
This book is now offered by Mr. O. T.
Terry, our townsman and fellow citizen, ■
the agent for the publishers, who will sell
it at publishers prices.
We take pleasure in recommending it to ;
our readers ns a correct history of the war,
as to the operations conducted by the I
■author. It will prove an interesting and
valuable history and one that will sell j
rapidly. Call at once and see Mr. Terry,
and examine the prospectus and subscribe i
at once.
Mr. Terry can lie found at all times at
the jewelry store of Mr. W. E. Barnes.
Th. Dltflnl Turnip.
Marion county, Fla., claims the bine
ribbon on a turnip weighing thirteen nnd ■
n half pounds, so says the Savannah
Morning Heirs. This claim, we think, is
too general, uud not sufficiently definite to ]
entitle it to much credit. If true, as to 1
the size of the turnip, we think the pro- I
ducer's name ought to be given, so that we i
would all know who performed this won
derful horticultural font.
Now we propose to give the weight of a
similar root, grown in Hamilton county,
Fla., and we will give the name of the
producer. Mr. J. 11. Perry, who is a '
hatchelor either hy accident or choice, put
it in, worked it, and pulled this remarkable
root out, weighing eleven pounds aud a
half.
This is pretty heavy for a hatchelor.
but it is nevertheless true. We would
suggest to our bachelor friend that he
plant hi* “root” in virgin soil, and work
it well, and we will insure seed to come
from it equal to that promised to Abraham
aud numbered only by the sands of the
sea. His marriage iu the future will be
an accident no longer.
A Sad and Fatal A* cl ient.
On Thursday, the stli instant, near
Hickory Head in this county, Alice Wat
son, a little girl thirteen years of age,
daughter of Mr. Samuel Watson, a poor
Kara, but clever aud industrious citizen,
while attempting to cook dinner in the
absence of all the family, her dress caught
fire, and being alone sho was unable to
extinguish it, until her clothes were con
sumed and her body left in a fearfully
mutilated condition. When the family
returned they found her suffering in
tensely, but able to tell them the circum
stances of the aoeideut. She said when
her clothes caught fire that she tried to
extinguish tho flames hy rolling over on
the ground. Her clothes all being cotton
they burned rapidly in the open air, so
the little thing hid to suffer alone, hut
death came to relieve her of her horrible
sufferings iu a few hours.

Editor Independent:
Allow me space in your columns to ex
press my gratitude to the good citizens of
Quitman and surrounding community for
their encouragement to me in my efforts to
advance the educational interest of the
town. Being determined to build up a
school equal to any in the State, with
every fucihty that can be obtained in any
high school or academy, I now appeal to
the liboral-miuded on the subject of edu
cation for such encouragement and patron
age as will enablo me to succeed in this
enterprise.
These interests are reciprocal, anil may
prove mutually beneficial both to the
school, town and county.
Thanking you for the manly effort
you have made til rough your paper to eu
lrance the educational interests of the
town and county,
I remain, yours, etc.,

Comfort* at the Depot.
The Railroad Company are now fitting
np a comfortable room in the Depot for
the accommodation of those who wish to
take the night trains. The room will be
neat and well furnished, so that persons
from the country can remain comfortably
until the arrival of the train. We are glad
to see this, nnd it speaks well for the com
pany. The arrivals here are unseasonable
and inconvenient, and it is but- right theso
preparations for the comfort of the pas
sengers should be made.
Fresh goods just received, which were bought
at panic prices, and will he sold the same wav.
Call early and secure the cheapest goods yet sold..

The Sloikholiten Alerting.
The meeting of the stockholders of the
A. & G. R. R. came off on Wednesday
list, and all the South Georgia world and
the rest of mankind (whiok means women
and editors) have had their ride, been to
the Forest City and seen the elephant,
and have all, or nearly all, returned per
fectly satisfied that the A. & G. li. R. is a
elever gentleman, or some other valuable
institution.
The meeting, we understand, was har
monious—no serious objection to anything
that Ims been done, is doing, or likely to
lie done, except Col. Seward's objection to
the abuse of the privilege of the annual
1 gratuitous ride of the stockholders. We
think if this is on abuse that thore is one
reason why it should lie indulged. The
owners of stock paid ouo huudrod dollars
per share. They have never received any
thing in return except the convenience
and enhancement of their property.
These profits and conveniences have been
and are being enjoyed by nil non-stock
holders of the country to an equal extent
with them. Once a year they can rent
out their stock for a small amount, which
pays, at least, a part of tho interest on
their investment, and has a tendency to
advance the value of stock in tho road, |
I and the cost to the road is comparatively
nothing.
We think if the company would give to j
cash stockholders one free ride the full
length of the road, for every share, every
year, to be taken at pleasure, that
A. A G. It. It, stock would be
greatly enhanced in value, and the road
not injured in the least.
The president’s report shows the rood
in much better condition than was gene
rally believed, and shows clearly that it |
has been judiciously and economically
managed, and from his figures the fact is j
apparent that the proposed extension of |
the road to Pollard would make it a paying
institution.

will be sold cheaper than such mules have
ever been offered in tho market.
Former customers are invited to call and
examine our stock for themselves.

We have examined the lot of mules just
received by Messrs. Cecil & Thrasher
They aro certainly the best lot of mules
we have seen here, and we nre assured by
Mr. John Thrasher that extra bargains will
bo given.
The advantages that this firm possesses
over other stock traders enables them to
supply the country with stock on better
terms than they can possibly be sold by
other parties.
Mr. Cecil is a wealthy man and an ex
tensive stock raiser in the State of Ken
tucky. His pnrehiunei are always at. UIP
lowest figures, and the -stock is always
sound and healthy.
Mr. Thrasher aud his son, John, is well
known iu this country as honest men and
fair dealers, and that, wo think, is enough
to say for them.
Ariotln r Fire,
Kayton has just returned with a large
additional stock of goods, which he is now
offering very cheap. Kayton is a brick
and is always in time for a fire, and has
no fear of panics.
Whether the fires make any difference
in Kayton’s purchases or not, is a matter
of no consequence to his customers. He
is certainly offering goods very low.
Among other things he has a splendid as
sortment of hats.
Give Kayton a call. He is willing, and
not afraid, to show his goods.
A Sftffl IlourdJng Mmol

music. Those desiring to board elsewhere
can do so, but their boarding in the house
is preferable, as a more rigid discipline
can be enforced, unremitting vigilance
will be kept over pupils entrusted to her
care, and the most rigid rules of propriety
and decorum will have to be observed.
The price of tuition, which will be
moderate, must be paid quarterly; board

Desirable.
Every family will find it desirable to
keep Magic Arnica Liniment on hand.
It is composed of Extract of Arnica,
Chlorodyno aud rare essential oils, chemi
cally combined, and is always ready, never
becoming solid or rancid. It is beyond
question the most powerfully penetrating
liniment made, and one bottie is worth a
gallon of any other kind.
BEAD THE TESTIMONY.
luka, Miss., July 26, 1869.
Messrs. Mansfield 16 Higher., Memphis, Tenn:
Gentlemen.' The following are vol
untary statements. I make them alone
for the gopd of the suffering. When I
was in your city you recommended to me
and advised me to buy tho Magic Arnica
Liniment. My reply was, I had no con
fidence in patent nostrums. I told you
of a hurt I received eleven years since,
that hail not been relieved, but was in
creasing with age, You then presented
me with a bottle of this Liniment, I
took it through courtesy to you. A week
after I got home I concluded to use it. I
applied it twice each day for two weeks.
Wince that time I have felt no pain, but
feel as well as I did twenty years ago.
The bottle of Liniment has been worth
more to me than the bottle filled with
gold would have been. I recommend the
Liniment to all who I find suffering with
pain from strains, bruises, rheumatism,
or any other cause whatever. It recom
mends itself wherever sold.
I am, dear sir, yours, Ac.,

The Oldest Fort on tiir Continent.—
The Spanish fori of San Jiian do l’iuos,
now called Fort Marion, at St. Augustine,
j Florida, is tho oldest fortification on the
I western continent still used as a place of
defence. It covers about an acre of
ground, and would accommodate a garri
son of one thousand men, with one hun
dred guns. It was begun in 1620 and
completed in 175fi, the Indians being com
pelled to do tho labor of building. Over
the entrance is the Spanish coat of Arms
and the name of the then Governor, the
chief engineer of the works, and tho date
of tho completion of the fort. In 1836 a
dungeon was discovered by the caving of
a wall from above, and in it were two iron
cases just largo enough to admit tho body
of a man, and each contained a human
skeleton. Who tho victims were there is
no tradition to tell. In one of the dun-
I geons Osceola was chained, previous to his
j removal to Fort Moultrie, The fort is now
garrisoned by an old sergeaut.
Is the Planet Maks a Desert ?—Can it
bo credible that, while every drop of wa
ter on our earth is prepled with millions,
another world is a desert ? Owing to tho
eccentricity of itsorbit.tho amount of light
and heat received by Mars from tho sun
must vary considerably. Farther, wo may
add that, while the earth is 92,000,1X10 of
miles from our source of light, the dis
tance between that luminary and Mars is
is fully 141,000,000 miles. From this dif
ference, and the relative sizes of the two
planets, wo can determine the amount of
heat, transmitt ed to Mars as compared with
the quantity reaching to the earth; ami
the average daily supply is found to be as
two to five. More nearly, when Mars is
closest to the aUn, he receives somewhat
more than half as much heat as the earth;
when furthest, his supply falls to a litfie
over one-third of our sphere. The sun
would appear, to a person on his surface,
to be. about one-third tho size that it does
to us.
Dr. Jones’s wife was awakened by a
noise in her room the other night,, and
when she sat up in tho bad she saw the
doctor standing over the arm chair in the !
room. He had a towl tied around one of j
the legs of tho chair, and w ith a handsaw
lie was cutting it in half. Mrs. Jones ex- (
claimed:
“Henry, what in the name of common
sense are you doing ?”
“H-s-s-h,” replied the doctor, “you'll
wake the patient. You hold the ohloro- j
form to his nose while I take his leg off. j
I’m about half through the bone now. ”
Then Mrs Jones got out of bed and
shook him, and pinched him until ho woke.
Then lie exclaimed:
"How ’s the patient ?”
Mis. Jones merely said: “come to bed,
you idiot, and stop hacking up the fur
niture.”
“Gracious, Maria,” said tho doctor ns
[he collected his scattered senses, “do you
know I thought I was iu the hospital saw
ing off a leg that had acompound fracture!
There’s a fifty dollar fee gone.”
And Jones wont to bed feeling us if he
was an injured man at having lost that
money. —Mur A deter.

Ladies, of course, are interested in
knowing “what is worn” by the Grand
Dutchess Maria, the newly made wife of
the Duke of Edinburg. One of a number
of rich Parisian dresses which formed part
of her elegant trossean will servo as a
sample. It is of skv-hlue terry velvet,,
covered with a tunic of India muslin
draped in antique fashion Tho 'material
is so light mnl fine that tlio whole tunic
will ov-tly pass through a ring, Tho folds
of corsage nre held in place hy clasps of
| line pern’s, and the edge of the tunic is
trimmed with a fringe also made of fine
j pearls. The newly made Dncltess of Ed
: inliurg is a blonde, fair anil young, and
the dress must, be exquisitely adapted for
I her youth and royal state. Probably it is
literally “one of a thousand,” audit cost,
—a mi re trifle in royal expenditure—the
little sum of live thousand dollars in
gold.

A correspondent of the New York Her
ald, who lias been cruising around with
the Walmsh, is responsible for this: “An
idea may be formed of the pitiable statoof
decay into which our navy lias fallen,
when it is learned that the Wabash, one of
the largest, and swifest ships In the fleet
can only steam six knots per hour, while
consuming coal at the frightful rate of
forty tons per day. A Spanish iron-clad
could run her down, run around her,
run away from lier,out-manoeuvre her with
the greatest ease, so that she would he lit
tle better against such un antagonist than
an old floating battery. And yet, with
the exception of tho Tennessee, anew
ship just finished, the Wabash is among
the swiftest vessels of our fleet.
England has a fresh grievance against
Spain. On the night of the 7th of Jan
uary, the Spanish iron-clad Vittoria, ran
down the Ellen Constance near Cartagena.
The night was clear,and the Spaniard paid
|no attention to the English ship, hut
j “rammed” lier to tho bottom, and three
i English sailors were lost. The Spanish
! Admiral, not content with this, held on to
| the officers and crew, nineteen men in all,
i until forced by Admiral Yelverton to give
tjgnsrn up. Great Britain is “on the boil”
j over the audacity of the Spaniard. The
journals are irate, and addicted to hard
words and ungentle threats.
Tho Athenians who put a boy to death
| for killing a bird,because the act indicated
Ia cruel disposition, would have dealt more
| harshly with Patrick Naughton than did
! the Cincinnati Police Court, which sen
tenced him to six months’ imprisonment
for burning a dog. Nuughton, an engin
eer on the Little Miami railroad, was
standing idly by his engine fire when the
unoffending brute was thrown up to him
by somebody. Holding the dog in one
hand, lie opened the door with the other,
and tossed the animal into the fiarnes.
Then he closed the door. His excuse was
that he was absent minded on account of
the strike.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says: Joseph (Jr. Sypher, of
Cincinnati, Ohio, was fined 5520 in the po
lice court Thursday for carrying concealed
weapons. He had been hanging about tho
Executive mansion for several days desir
ing to have a “square talk with the Presi
dent on business affairs generally, he Said,
but his request was refused. Thursday
he mounted a horse and attempted to ride
into tlie main door. When he was arrested
the pistol was found on him. 'Ho will be

Wednesday morning,, the wife of Deputy
Sheriff Michael Daly, of 51 Marion street,
was awakened by the slamming of a door.
Fearing that someone had entered the
house, sho awoke tlio Deputy, who
laughed at her fears,and expressed warmly
as to a thief being hold enough to give him
an opportunity to take him to Miug Sing,
saying which the Deputy, in self-assurance
turned over and went to sleep. Fortu
nately for Michael Daly, his wife remained
watching, and a few minutes later was
startled by tho sudden appearance of a
man wearing a black mask, carrying a
dark lantern and revolver, who steathily ap
proached the bed. Drawing her husband’s
revolver from under his pillow, Mrs. Daly
aimed at the burglar and fired. He sprang
to the door and escaped. At that moment
Deputy Daly sprang from his bed arid
pursued the burglar, who jumped from a
second story window, closely followed by
the Sheriff, who, notwithstanding the
scantiness of his apparel, made good time
over the fences anil through alleyways.
The burglar escaped.

“We’ll look for it anyhow,” said one 'of
