Taken By Violence.
On Wednesday last when we were busily
engaged in our sanctum it was unceremoni
ously entered by Mr. John M. Dickinson,
a native of Kentucky, now a citizen of
Morristown, Tennessee. Upon his en
trance the pen fell from our hand, we
gave onr little self np, and to him we sur
rendered, and assured him that dur
ing his stay we were ready to do his biding
He was our acquaintance and friend of
long ago. We knew him in his native
State and partook of his hospitalities at
his home. He was our co-laborer and
co-sufferer in all of our Confederate trials.
He was exiled from his lovely homo,
driven with his family to an adjoining
State, away from their friends, to sojourn
among strangers until the great war issue
should be determined. He sacrificed all
for the cause, and the cause was lost. But
with his honesty of purpose and energy of
character, he soon commenced to build
up. And now on account of the loveliness
of this climate, he seriously contemplates
becoming a citizen of Southern Georgia.
We hope if he should decide to locate
here that he will never regret his decision,
we can assure the citizens that he and his
family will be valuable accession* to so
ciety. Mr. Dickinson’s life long business has
been that of hotel keeping, and we say in
a word that he possesses ever characteristic
that qualifies a man for the position.
He will follow that business if
he locates in Georgia, We have two
houses well kept, no complaint to make
against them; but should a change be made,
it would be gratifying to us to see Mr.
Dickinson the successor to the retiring
one.
Spring and Summer goods at lowest prices now

Juh to Salt the Timet,
and to meet the wants of the people, the
senior Mabbett, of the firm of Briggs,
Jelks 4 Cos., sliped off without telling any j
■one, not even his wife, where he was going, !
or what he was going for; and the first ev
idence we hod of his wliereubonts, was
boxes of all sizes and shapes, hogsheads,
barrels, crates, etc., etc., marked Briggs,
Jelks 4 Cos., rolling in every morning nnd
the stentorian voice of the indefatigable
Ben, the drayman, announcing tho arrival
of more goods for Briggs, Jelks & Cos. Hear
ing these sounds and seeing these sights,
we concluded to go iu and see for ourselves,
and sure enough the drawerswero filled,the
shelves jamed, the counters loaded with
bolts of domestics and prints, tables im
provised groaning under the weight and
burthen of the mighty piles of bolts of
furnishing goods. Their stock of ladies hats,
like all other seasons are large and of the
latest and most fashionable styles. Theii
goods are bought for cash and at tho very
lowest figures, and they can afford to sell
at lees prices than evi r offered in the mar
ket, for cash or produce at market prices.
The reflecting citizen must know that the
wholesale merchant wlioselln on time in
cludes the interest, the expenses of trav
eling agents to collect, and then adds a
large per cent, to cover probable losses.
It is just a ? clear that the retail merchant
who buys on time and promises to pay
time prices, and sells on time, must regu
late his sales by the prices paid or prom
ised to be paid, and must add a large per
cent, to cover probable losses and ex
penses of collection. So the merchants
favor to the planter in the spring is the
planters ruin in the fall. We would sug
gest to the planters to purchase just what
he can pay for and purchase where they
can afford to sell it cheapest.
Fresh goods Just received, which were bought,
at panic prices, and will he sold the same way
Call early and secure the cheapest goods yet sold.
No humbug. At

The Hi'lonlan Tableaux of Paradise [sat
as exhibited by Mr. Smith, on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, given for the ben
efit of the Methodist Church at Quitman,
was well attended. Many of the scenes
are beautiful and impressive, while they
are the fruits of a strained imagination
and wrought in the highest artistic skill,
they aio nevertheless solemnly impressive.
Such exhibitions are highly entertaining
and instructive and should be patronized.
We think all that attended were pleased.
Fleas are numerous in Quitman, and very
well developed, at night they are thin, ac
tive and voratious, in the morning they
are roue ler, less energetic, looking like
topers which have been sipping of that
which givetk its color in tho cup.

A NARRATIVE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS
DIRECTED BY PEN. TOSFI’H E. JOHNSTON
DURING THE tAfK WAR.
This book, written by General Johustmi,
is now offered to tho public, and will
doubtless prove one of the most tbrillingly
interesting works over offered to the
Southern public, and particularly to the
Southern soldiers that was under his com
mand. Though concisely written, it em
braces every material fitr.t in regard to his
operations. To his soldier boys it will
nwaken many sad as well as pleasing
reminiscences. It will turn back the pagos
of memory and present vividly to the
recollection the many battlefields, the
many comrades and co-sufferers that fell
and is no more; the many hard conflicts,
the weary marches through min and
shine, cold and heat; and the croakers
behind the army and out of danger should
carefully read his truthful statement, and
iu it behold the imbecility of their criti
cisms and their wanton and unjustifiable
persecutions of this great commander.
This book is now offered by Mr. O. T.
Terry, onr townsman and fellow citizen,
tho agent for the publishers, who will sell
it at publishers prices.
We take pleasure in recommending it to
onr readers as a correct history of the war,
as to tho operations conducted by the
author. It will prove an interesting nnd
valuable history nnd one that will fa'll
rapidly. Call at once nnd see Mr. Terry,
and examine tho prospectus and subscribe
at once.
Mr. Terry can be found at all times at
the jewelry store of Mr. W. E. Burnes.

ANOTHER SWINDLE DEVELOPED.
Hovr Postal Contract* arc Made.
It appears that the Post Offioo Depart
ment needs overhauling as well us some of
tho other departments of the government,
for permitting a most outrageous swindle
to be perpetrated on tho postal service.
The St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatch prints some
astounding facts relative to the contracts
on postid routes iu the West, held by C.
O. Huntley. Tho Dispatch claims that, at
the outset, Huntley, by the aid of some
Washington confederates, filched from tho
fi ! es some old petitions from Montana, out
off the names and attached them to a peti
tion for a postal rotito from Missoula,
Mi li‘aim, toWul’u Walla, Washington Ter
ritory, four hundred and fifty miles,
through a wilderness without settlers, ami
g<t the contract at $20,744 per annum,
which was subsequently increased to $62,-
432 per annum.
Huntley immediately sublet the ooutri ct
at $14,900, and pocketed $50,000 a year
for six year, tho mail matter sent
over the route not exceeding eight letters
and pprse: oh m til. Ho next obtained
route 41,181, trom lieltou, Utah, to the
Dallas, W. TANARUS., 750 miles, daily trips, at
$224,000 per annum. His last operation
was getting route 42,101, from Boise City
to Winnenjuccft, Nev., 580 milos, at $77,-
000, of which SOB, (KM) is clear profit.
Huntloy’s account With tho government
stands tlius;
Route 43,127 $ 248,928
Route 42,101 308, 000
Route 31,131 .... 896,000
Total receipts $1,462,928
actual oo err.
Route 43.127 $ 56,000
Route 42,101 60,000
Route 41,131 240, IKK)
Total cost $356,000
In four years’time Huntley has pock
eted $1,090,628 from these routes, and now
lias other routes under way. In view of
such facts as these, it is little less than ap
palling to consider the fact that Mr. Ram
sey not long since introduced a bill to es
tablish post routes, and when interrogated
as to the necessity for them, confessed he
didn't know anything about it. Mt.
Huntley’s operations may also kolp to ac
count for the fact that the expenses of the
Postal Department increased from $15,-
000,000, iu 1866, to $37,000,000, in 1873.
A Dissolving Party.
Men in such a crisis as the present are
nothing save os indexes of a system. It is
not General Butler, nor Mr. Casey,
nor Mr. Bimmoys, nor Mr. Sanborn, but j
the policy of which they are tho represen
tatives. This policy is the burden that is
breaking the back of tlio Republican
party. The Credit Mobilier was the first
blunder, because it put the whole party
on the defensive, and weakened public
confidence in many of the leaders of both
sides. Then came the dangerous practice |
of making appointments only to please
Congressmen and Senators, in utter defiance
of the public will. Service not for the
party, but for a politician, flattery of
power, not competency for office,
were the word to ollico. Experienced
men were driven to retirement by
jobbers and speculators. Corrupt Legis
latures in tho States and dishonest local
governments, illustrated by tho sudden
wealth of the worst characters, led to a finnl
consolidation of the officeholders and their
dependents against the great body of tho
people everywhere. It is vain to denounce
men as long as the system is allowed to re
main. Massachusetts feels the burden and
i resolves to throw it off. Ponsylvania Ims
j borne it for years, nnd every independent
! Republican in the State has protested
against it; but so far in vain. There is
not a Republican paper in Philadelphia to
day that has not denounced it. But the
present power of the combination is greater
than it has ever been; m vr hostile general
danger been so imminent; and yet, as if to
prove this statement, never lias tho sub
mission to this despotism been so com
plete. The chains are drawn so tight nnd
riveted so close that the victims are afraid
to groan, and so purchase relief by praises
of their oppressors. President Grant docs
not hesitate to denounce the reckless men
who are bankrupting the South. Senator
Carpenter declares against the wretched
administration of Louisiana, and Mr.
Dawes points to the decreasing revenues
and increasing debt of the general govern
ment, — Philadelphia Press.
A New Idea About Comet*,
A paper was read before tho Hackney
Scientific Association oh January Ist by
Mr. Koovor, advancing an entirely new
theory with regard to comets; and by the
use of diagrams, lie showed that the part
of the comet termed the tail, being always
in a direction from the sun and therefore
as often in advance as behind the nucleus,
is not really a tail. That as comets are
transparent, and all matter is known to be
either solid, liquid or gaseous, comets
must be the latter, lor solids and liquids
are opaque. That the only known power
by which this gaseous matter can be held
together Is gravity, which must necessari
ly have a center, and, every part of the
body being free to move, resolves itself
into a sphere, the center of which is in
many cases exceedingly dense, gradually
attenuating toward the circumference.
That the rays of the sun are refracted in
their passage through the spherical comet,
thus luminating the position beyond the
center or nnclueus, which illumination
forms the tail. He then explained all the
various and peculiar phenomena of com
ets, such as their shapes, colors, horns,
nuclei, as well as their being with and
without tails, etc.; and that they are en
tirely in accordance with the universal laws
of nature.
Cedar.
There are but few of our readers, ont
side of Tampa, aware of the fact that the
manufactories of cedar pencils in Germany
and other European countries are in
debted to the Florida coast for the supply
of most of their material; yot such is un
doubtedly the fact. The cedar is gotten
out and hauled to Tampa in the shape of
nicely hewn logs, some ten feet in length,
worth on an average 50 cents per square
foot. This timber is then Shipped to New
York, sawed into small slips, cedar pencil
length, thence sent to Europe. In the
ante helium days there was a large mill at
Cedar Keys m active operation sawing
this cedar, but the proprietor dying, the
work was suspended. At this moment the
cedar mill there is doing nothing, for the
reason that the man to whom it is leased
awaits suitable machinery from the north.
There are a number of boxes packed with
sawn cedar lying out in the weatuer near
the mill, some of which are broken open
and the contents scattered to rot. The
cedar logs as hauled in by the farmers,
are in piles about the town and in heaps
along the river. The cedar forests up the
river are almost inexaustible, though in
the swampy hammocks causeways have to
be built to facilitate the getting out of the
cedar.

There is an old story that St. Potor,

and though it didn’t sound exactly like a
prayer, she had the main words in. And
then she gently stroked tho hair of that
erring whisky dealer with a dray pin, nnd
cracked his bottles, and beat in iiis casks.
Such, O woman, is the efficacy of prayer.
