The Ladies’ Memorial Association of Brooks county, aided by those who feel an interest in tho cause for which they arc laboi ing, will give a Festival at Quit man on Friday evening, the 3d of October, in Hilliard's Hull, over the store of Mr. H. H. Kayton. Everything to eat, from the most sub stantial to the Holiest and daintiest dell* 01101™ will be prepared in every variety, and sold at reasonable prices, the con sumer paying only for what is colled for. The object of the undertaking by the Memorial Association is to raise funds for the completion of the work they hove now under headway upon the cemetery in Quit man, in inclosing and beautifying this sacred resting-place of our dead, and more especially the graves of our fallen heroes. Admission to the Festival—Adult*, 25 cents; children, 15 cents. Mies. Randolph Avaka. President L. M. A. B. C. We favor most heartily any laudable en terprise that has for its object the im provement of our town, and especially the enclosing of the oeifietery, and beautifying the resting-places of the dead, to perpetu ate their memory. And especially do we approve, and most cheerfully will we con tribute our little mite to beautify and pro tect from the ravages of tho beast the graves of our fallen heroes. But while we are in favor of any and every legitimate plan by which means can be Obtained for the purpose of inclosing the cemetery find beautifying it, we think, in all candor, the enterprise should be properly named. The purchasing of additional grounds, the inclosing the old nud the new, we do not think belongs to Memorial Associa tions. Tho old grounds now contain hun dreds of citizens, white and black; the new grounds arc to be used for future burials. Now, the question is, what is the declared object of the Memorial Associa tion ? Isn’t it to perpetuate the memory of tlie fallen heroes by inclosing and beau tifying their resting places. And if the As sociation l>e incorporated for that purpose, and that alone, have they the right to use means collected for that purpose to enclose acres of the graves of citizens dead, and provide burial grounds for citi zens now living? The few soldiers that sleep there were strangers here, their liv ing friends are far away; they cannot at twilight visit their graves, but they can go with their flowers and their tears to the graves of our loved ones that sleep near them. They have everywhere inclosed them, they have every where made them a special object of commemoration; they meet once a year to commemorate them and decorate their silent homes, believing that tfieir loved ones are eared for in other cotftitries. The dead in our little neg lected cemetery have their living friends here, and they are able, and it is love’s sweetest duty, to inclose and adorn tlie little silent city, and then visit and remem ber them. Then, ns citizens, let ns lmild our cemetery and beautify it., and within the general iitelosuro let the friends of the dead inclose them according to their means, tastes and affections. And let the Ladies’ Memorial Association observe strictly the object of their organization, ami inclose and ornament and make attrac tive. tlie little square assigned to the dead soldiers of the lost cause. We arc glad, even at this late hour, that the ladies re member that we have a few soldiers buried in our midst, and although they have long been neglected and seemingly forgotten, they have finally determined to care for them in the future. Nino years have passed, and they are not inclosed; seven years had passed, and there was nothing to mark their resting-place except graves sunken below the level of the ground, mid but once had flowers been dropped upon them. More than two years ago a stran ger came, a wounded soldier, who had not forgotten the privations of a soldier’s life; soon the sunken graves were filled, and little fresh mounds sprang up, and they have been kept so ex*er since, and to-day they look os fresh as when the sol diers first became their tenants, and the strangor’s (wounded soldier’s) money is all that has ever been expended to perpetuate their memory. Now, we are willing to do all we can to improve the cemetery; and then all we can do to aid the Memorial Association will be done in a spirit of the greatest liberality. But wo cannot beliex-e that it is right to obtain money, as a Memorial Association, to lie applied to another and a different purpose, to wit : purcha.sliiug the ground and building a town cemetery. It does not come within tlie perview of the original design of memorial organizations. We think the Memorial Association,com posed of ladies, is a most lovely and com mendable organization; but to purchase land and build cemeteries, we think, ought to be done by an organization of men. There is too much labor and res ponsibility for ladies to assume. This, we are satisfied, is an unpopular position to take, but if it is true wo are willing to en dure whatever odium may attach. In dis cussing this question we do not feel that we have a right to seek the popular side of a question, right.or wrong, but to seek for truth, and express it. We are in favor of festivals, fairs, or anything else the ladies may adopt to obtain funds to en large tlie cemetery and inclose it; but ob jections are very obvious to raising money for that purpose under the sacred name of Memorial Association. The benevolence and beauty of the organization is lost when the purposes are changed. The stranger may conic, and Memorial Festival may attract him, and liberally may he give for that object. Then is it rightto tute it to ornament tlie graves of our own dead, or buy laud to bury those that are still living ? We know that the object of the ladies is pure, but they, too, may err in blending tw o enterprises of a dif ferent character under tlie one most popu lar name. If to commemorate the fallen heroes we obtain money, let us use it for that purpose and none other. A Brutal Outrage. On Wednesday evening last about Bp. in., Miss Mery Pattman, an estima ble and industrious lady, living on her little farm some two miles from Quitman, was brutally assaulted und beaten in her owu house liy a negro man, who approached and struck her with a bludgeon or billet of wood as she stepped to tho door to hang something on the outside, repeating his blows, inflicting various wounds of a most ghastly character upon the head, and oue upon the right shoulder, and others upon the hands, and then the villain left her alone, supposed to be dead. She luy where lie left her, mangled and bleeding, until the following morning, when she was found in a helpless condition. Dr. E. A. Jelks was immediately summoned, and every attention shown her. Here is Dr. Jclks’ statement: “Miss Mary Pattman received seven wounds upon sculp, from two to four in ches in length, down to skull; sculp torn up in several (daces; contused wound upon both hands, and one upon right shoulder; wonmls of a very serious nature.” We hope the blnek demon may be nr rested and justice fully meted out to him. We have not been able to learn, ns yet, who is suspected, but have learned that the party is known to the much injured lady. Since writing the above the supposed guilty party Ims been arrested and lodged in jail, but says he is able to prove an alibi. l>r. Jelks has some hopes of Miss Futtman’s recovery. o - JVheu you want good goods at low prices call at Kavton’s New York Store. Public Meeting. Quitman, Brooks Cos., Ga., ( September 24, 1873. ) Editor Indepen dent: A meeting of the citizens of this county was organized by electing Gapt. T. J. Liv ingston to tlie chair, and S. T. Kingsbcrry Secretary. The object of tho meeting xvus then ex plained by Col. W. B. Bennett, in a few appropriate remarks, to lie for the purpose of receiving Col. 1\ H.

Raiford was then introduced, who proceeded to explain the projected route, its advantages, costs, etc. At the conclu sion of Col. Raiford's remarks, a Commit tee of six gentlemen, consisting of A. J. Rountree, Dr. E. A. Jelks, D. R. Creech, J. O. Morton, Juo. Tilrnan and J. B. Finch, were appointed to confer with the Central Committee at Savannah, for the advancement of this enterprise.

Mr. Cullen Hester assures us that his losses, including his gin-house and screw, with his crops of cotton and corn, aside from the immense destruction of his timber, will not fall short of $2,500. Mr. Hester is an energetic man, and will soon regain his losses. Many others suf fered greatly, but none, that we have heard of to the extent of Mr. Hester. o A few fine Ladies Hats at 8.

A voice—“But how can you tell ‘shod dy’ people, Mr. Perkins?” This way, my friends. When a strange family arrives at our hotel you must watch them closely. Divinity puts up certain infallible signs to distinguish the ignorant and vulgar from the children of culture and virtue. First —If the lady comes into the parlor with a diamond ring on the outside of her glove, it is safe to ask her how much she gets a week. (“Hear, hear!” and several ladies put their hands under their pa niers.) Second—lf Providence erects a dveil mustache over the mouth of the man, it is to show that he is a gambler or a vulgari an. (Cheers, when two Americns Club men, a gambler, or four Plug-Uglies from Baltimore, put their hands over their mus taches. ) Third—lf when that new family enter or leave a room, the gentlemen rush ahead, leaving the ladies to follow, there is some thing “shoddy” somewhere. Fourth—lf the man presents the ladies to the gentlemen, instead of vice, versa, and they all shake hands on a first presen tation. then you may know thev hail from Oil City. Fifth—lf, when they go into dinner, they do nothing but loudly oruer the wuit- BTfrtH'pnud, and tnlk about the wine, you wmnake up your niiml that they are the first waiters they have ever had and the only wine they ever drank. If they pick t.lieir teeth at the table, or take out their false teeth und rinse them in tlie tumbler (a voice, “Shoot ’em on the spot”)—yes, my friends, I say that to their teeth. Sixth—lf, when the gentleman sits in the parlor talking to a lady, lie doesn't sit up straight, but sprawls all over the sofa, puts the soles of his boots on tho lady's dross, on the furniture, or wipes his shoes on his own white linen pantaloons, you'd better refuse an introduction to him. (Ap plause, when eight young fellows, who sat with their legs radiating like the wings of a wind-mfll, or sprawling one foot cross legged in the open air, whirled themselves right side up.) Seventh—lf the Indies in that party whitewash their faces, redden their lips, block their eyebrows or bronze or yellow their hair, just you think this is another sign which Providence puts up so you can shun them. Enamel mul dyed hair are social beacon-lights to enable you to keep off the rocks of Cyprift. Just you keep away from such people, for they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Voice from a young lady— “But wo want to look beautiful, Mr. Perkins.” But this will not make you beautiful, my children. Any sweetliesrt who is so shallow us to take whitewash for the hu man skin, or rouge for the rose cheeks of nature, is too much of a saji'it ad to make a good husband, and if he is smart enough to see through your deception, wliy ho will surely leave you iu disgust, (Applause by the gentlemen, while several ladies wiped their faces with their pocket-hand kerchiefs. ) Eighth—lf, when this family get into their carriage to ride to the lake, the young lukies appear in gaudy colors, throw ovbr their laps a bright yellow and red or blue afglian, nud the coachman wears a gold lint band and a sprawl-tailed yellow livery, with velvet collar, and liolds brass bespangled horses by white reins, you may know that the owner keeps a livery stable, and that this is his first carriage. (Voice —“Hit. ’em again, Eli.”) No, ray triends, I’ve said out. 1 — The sexton of St. Joseph’s Cathedral at Vienna,being a man of extraordinary nerve and boldness, was accustomed to stand on the pinnacle of the tower whenever the Emperor made grand entrance into the city, and wave a flag us the pageant passed by. When, however, Leopold, who had just been chosen Emperor of Frankfort, was about to enter the city, the loyal sex ton, still anxious to be true to the old cus toms, but finding that, years had told against liis nerve, declared that any one who would take liis place successfully should win his daughter. Gabriel Petcr slieim, who was disliked by the sexton but beloved of the daughter, at once accepted the offer, to the disgust of the sexton, who then arranged with two villains to close the trap door of the upper stairway while Gabriel was above, thinking that, as the Emperor was to enter toward evening no one need be the wiser, and tho lad must, certainly fall before morning. Tlie two accomplices did their foul work, and their intended victim, finding his way down again, was then confronted with the alter native of clinging to the slender spire through a cold winter night, with liis feet resting on a surface hardly ten inches in circumference, or of precipitating himself to the pavement at once, and thus ending the matter. Gabriel was of Arm will and hardy constitution. He clung to the cold column till morning. But the story goes that Ids curling locks were white as snow, and liis wonted rosy cheeks were yellow and wrinkled, and his eyes, before so bright, were now sunken and dim. One night of horror had placed him forty years nearer his grave. 4.*- Singular Breach of Promise Case.—A caße of breach of promise was brought to trial at Lincoln, England, the other day, in which the plaintiff was a man. Miss Jenkinson had promised to become Mrs. Smith, but according to the jilted Mr. Smith, it was she who made the proposal, and actually “engaged two young men to act as groomsmen. ” Mr, Justice Pollock hoped that “some arrangement might he made” which would save him from trying the case, especially as Miss Jenkinson said, when the writ was served, “I’ll marry him, if lie makes me, and when I’ve married, I’ll make him live like a toad under a bur row.” The judge, still anxious to pro mote the match, said to Mr. Smith: “If the toad had the proper spirit, it could get from under the harrow.” But tho plain tiff, at the last report, was implacable, and the case w*as still going on.
