think it would be cruel, after they have
worked off thirty-three numbers of The
Independent, often requiring nineteen
of the twenty-four hours to accomplish
the work,to require them to work through
the holidays. We have not forgotten how
faithfully our little troop has worked, oft
until the noon of night, all done for us and
Our patrons. And now, dear patrons, won’t
yon with us agree to excuse the boys next
week with half a sheet. We will make it
ns interesting as possible and will deliver
it on Wednesday moruing. We are grate
ful to our little troop for their past labors,
and we will be very grateful to our patrons
if they will excuse the boys with a half
sheet next week.

We are determined now to make some changes
in our firm, amt in order todo ho we will Mel] i.tcr

towns, at New York cost prices. This proposi
tion mav he relied upon, as no higher prices tviil

Tile Ticket is Static Up.
The election is near nt hand for Mayor
and town Couneilmen, and we are informed
tlud, the ticket is made tip —the ticket that
the people wants elected—and here it is:
fok mayor:
S. T. KIXOSBEBRY.
for corNon.MEN:
E. A. Jelks, ,T. B. Creech,
T. A. Ham,, B. H. Gandy.
This ticket to ns is unexceptionable,
from the fact that they are all property
holders and are interested in the prosperity
of the town; and, while wo have no ob
jection to urge against any other ticket
or nny other citizen, we have what we
conceive to l>e a good reason for favoring
the election of the above-named gentle
men. They are not seeking the position.
They will accept the position reluctantly,
but will, nevertheless, discharge their
duties faithfully. A better ticket cannot
be selected, and we are willing and anxious
to support it. as the office in this instance
is seeking the men; we urge the men to till
the office. We have no doubt that this
ticket will be acceptable to uJI, and hope
there will be no opposition.
The goods being all marked down cheap, if you
want to pay high prices for vour supplit s, don't
call at Kayton'k New York Stoke.

Tbe Trustees of the Quitmnu Hi'.'L
Sahool having aroused from their lether
gic sleep, have determined that the educa
tional interest of our town shall be neg
lected no longer, and w ith an energy high
ly commendable, have secured the services
of It. V. Forrester who is thoroughly
qualified for the position,and will no doubt
be properly encouraged by the Trustees
and citizens of the town to build up an ex
cellent school,one creditable to him.self cud
the town; and in order to encourage this
enterprise we hope the citizens will open
their houses and board pupils from a dis
tance at such prices as to induce parents
to send their children here. High board
ing is a great draw-back to a school in a
country town. We hope all w ill offer in
ducements and give every encouragement
to this important enterprise. At present
Quitman offers no educational facilities to
the surrounding cynntrg, and with its ca
pacious school building and healthful lo
cality we think it should he spoken with
shame, that there is no school iu Quitman
at which even a thorough English educa
tion can be obtained. We have no doubt
that Quitman will in the future offer as
great educational inducements as any other
interior town.

**What Arr They Doing Herr I" is the Still
Unanswered Inquiry*
We have become perfectly familiar with
the faces of some men that we see on our
streets, and have seen from time to time.
Their departure is scarcely announced ’ere
their arrival is made known, like bees
going to and returning from tiro flowers
where they gather tlicir honey. But, we
can’t learn what flowers they are sucking.
If they are asked if they are dramming tor
some house, they pompously reply, “wo
don’t want to sell our goods.’’ We ask
them “what’s the tggttcr with Hannah ?”
and they reply, “Wa come to Quitman
for our health;” but they don’t stay twenty
four hours until they are gone, and they
ore not gone loDg enough to change and
wash their shirts, until they are back
again at Quitman “for their health.”
We don’t see, although some of these men
wear long, slick hats, and short-tailed
coats, that they have any legitimate busi
ness. We don’t see any visible means of
support. Sometimes they are cheerful,
and sometimes they are sad; sometimes
they aro in groups, like they were con
spiring to do some dreadful deed, or hold
ing a council of war; then we find them
alone, moping around like a jilted lover;
and, altogether, we don’t know what to
make of them. They shun the Ixde-
I'ENDENT; they don’t wuntit to see them,nor
do they care to see it. We have heretofore
thought that we had a very vigilant county
Judge and vigilant town officers, yet these
men, without any visible means of sup
port or any legitimate business, is per
mitted to go at large. Look out officials,
some mischief may result from those oft
repeated visits. If it does, we will tell
on you.

A Snd Arrlitiut.
On Wednesday of last week the only son
of Mr. Wm. McCauley, of this county,
was killed near Bosemnu’s Mill. His
father had left him sitting in the wagon,
to which was attached a yoke of oxen,
while he went into the mill. The oxen
took fright from some cause or other, and
ran away, turning the wagon over, which
fell on the little boy, severely crushing
him. Medical aid was summoned, but
I proved of Do avail, as he died from his
injuries on the following day.

A BrlgHam-YoungHc In Brooks County.
We clip the following from the Savan- \
nnh AVo-s;
"We have a private letter from Air.
Jacob Duckworth, residing on Little river,
ten miles north of Quitman, Brooks |
county, in which he requests us to state j
he will pay a reward of fift; dollars for the
apprehension of one Scott, or S. S. Smith, j
Said Smith is a regular Mormon, and oe- j
oupies his time in traveling from one j
county to another, remaining only long i
enough to deceive and marry some inno-!
cent country girl. It is known he hr. -
four wives in Middle Florida and two in
Georgia, one of the latter being the
daughter of Air. Duckworth, whom he
deserted after living with her two weeks.
Several of his abandoned wives are hunt-1
ing for him now. Smith is supposed to ;
he in Decatur county at present, and is;

We visited Savannah the early part of 1
the week and ns no one had spasms tilt ae
count of onr arrival and no one having ■
committed suicide on account of our leav
ing, we don’t feel that there is much to re
port. But there is one thing we call tell
the people now of a truth that Af. Fit-gcr- i
aid of Savannah makes pure and luuidulte ••-
uted candy. We sat down and watched
him make it and we know whereof we
speak, and we would suggest to our read- :
era in purchasing candy for their children
to buy that manufactured by Fitzgerald,for
all cheaper candies are mixed with cheap i
properties and consequently injurious to
health. We are c rtaiuly under many ob
ligations to Alias Alary, for the nice box of |
select candy she gave us—none but very j
precious one can abate it with us. Air.
F. can’t afford to sell his candy as cheap ns
those who manufacture bogus articles. We
think it in criminal in retailers to buy an
adulterated article because it is cheap, and
sell it for a price that they could afford to
sell Air. l'itzgi raid’s for and make a reas
onable profit.

What Ho Vo • Think of This!
Perhaps rio more forcible evidence from
a Well-known source can be given of the
great power of Mansfield & Higbeo’s Magic
Arnica Liniment than is contained in the
annexed letter from Air. 'l'. F. Brinly, the
celebrated plow manufacturer:
Louisvtlde, Ivy., Jan. 2, 1871.
Messrs. Muosjudil {• llir/bee:
Gentlemen— Whilst I was attending
the Agricultural Fair nt Alemphis, I was
suffering very much from rheumatism in
my right hg. 1 was stopping with my
friend. Dr. Peters; he kindly tendered me
some Magic Arnica Liniment. On going;
to bed I rubbed my leg with the liniment; j
the. next morning I felt much better, so i
much so that I could attend to my bind-'
ness all the next day, with very little pain.
The Doctor then insisted that I should
take it along with me, and it was very for
tunate that I did, for T got a very severe
fall at the Kimball, in Atlanta, that bruised j
me up very much. I went to my room j
and applied the Magic Arnica Liniment,
and was entirely relieved, being the next
morning free from pain, and was able to
attend the plowing match. Please send
me half a dozen bottles of the Magic
Arnica Liniment by Express, 0.0. D. I
consider it the best liniment I ever saw.
T. E. Brinly,
Of Brinly, Aides & Hardy, Louisville, Ky.
P. H. I will give you more evidence of |
the value of Alagic Arnica Liniment. Sev
eral days ago we were unloading two large
grindstones for onr factory; one of tlie 1
stones fell, breaking into two pieces, one j
of which struck a young man in my employ
knocking him down, as we thought, killed, j
We picked him up; as soon as conscious,;
lie said his side was injured. I sent to my I
house for the Magic Arnica Liniment,
nibbed him well with it and sent him home; j
that night I had him well rubbed again
with the same liniment, and the next;
morning he was able to coma to the shop,
and the second day he resumed work, j
His name is Edward Hume; he will give j
you a certificate if you wish. You are tit i
liberty to use this; don’t fail to send lue
the liniment.

Arrest of the Bender Family.
Spartan hero, S. 0., December 13. A
real sensation was produced in Spartan
burg-, lu.m week, by the arrest of the Ben
der family, licensed of murders, at Biv
ingsvitle, a small manufacturing village in
this county, about five miles from the town.
Every one will remember the great excite
ment produced not long since by the ili -
oovery rf the wholesale murders committed
by the Bender family in Kansas, and the
’ xhtiming of the dead bodies of their vic
tims found buried on t.lie premises around
their dwelling, and that the Bender fam
ily made good their escape before their
crimes were detected. By vigilant efforts
the murderers were traced, and an officer
with a posse cam,' over from Union county
and arrested an old man nearly seventy
years of age. nt Bivingsville, bv the name
of Thomas Webb, as the veritable old man

Joshua Bernier, mid liis wife, v ho are liv
ing in North Carolina, near Hickory Sta
tion, oil the Western North Carolina lhiil-
rosd. Wo leant that this man Thomas
Webb, a shoemaker, by trade, formerly
lived near Bivingsville, and moved West
i with his family. About seventeen years
I ago the name of Bender must liavo been
assumed by them when they moved West
;or when they commenced the life of rob

; his wife moved buck to the county a short
j time since and settled iu the same lioigh
! borhood in which they formerly lived

A Cruzy Cf-ytaia Turns Ilia Vccscl at Gea.
This evening-, November 27, the mate
and ten of the crew of the River Eden
were landed here, having been brought
I from Baida in the Lusitania. The River
1 Eden, a Liverpool vessel of 500 tons regit
; ter, left Loudon for Valparaiso with a
cargo including 250 tons of gunpowder.
W hen in lut. 17 28. (dpt. Bowden was
seized with a violent fit of insanity, and
declared he would blow up the ship. The
mate and crew of fifteen men and a boy
were dreadfully terrified when they saw
1 him deliberately set fire to the cabin, near
to which tlve gunpowder was placed, and
tried every means to extinguish the (lames.
' Captain Bowden’s violence increased, and
I with a revolver he fired on the eri w. with
out, however, inflicting any mortal injury.
The second mate was shot in the eye as he
tried to force his way into the burning
I cabin, aiul one of the crew was stubbed in
Ihcshouhler. Fortunately they were able
to secure the madman, and to phu t* him in
i irons.
For some time the crew managed to
I subdue the fire by pouring water and ashes
upon it, but the flames broke out afresh.
, There was no alternative but for them to
lake to the boats. .Shortly after they left
the ship she blew up with tremendous
; force, but happily all lives were raved.
I After being at sea for several hours w ith
j out food, they were picked up by the, Ju
niata, and afterwards transferred to the
Aurora and conveyed to Bahia. They
were in a greatly distressed shite, having
! lost everything on board the River Eden;
hut the officers of the Juniata ami Aurora
kindly attended to their necessities, and
furnished them with all the wearing ap
parel they could , pare. Capt Bowden, in
Lis fury, (lied to stave iu the boat, and,
; sad to relate, after they had been on board
i the Aurora for four days ho eluded the
; watch, and manacled as he was, jumped
j overboard. Efforts were made to save his
i life, but all was unavailing,- London Tel

The Cmr i) Wife of a Massachusetts
Divine.— From the Springfield (Mints.)
Union it is learned that the most interest
in;; case tried before the police court of
Chicopee for some time was that of Dr. I’.
V. Itoudiez vs. Rev. 11. A Wildridge, late
pastor of the defunct Tabernacle Baptist
Church, which was investigated last week.
Mr. Wildridgo, after having boarded some
time in the family of Dr. itoudiez, and
having induced the Doctor’s 13 year-old
daughter to be baptised and to join his
church, proposed marriage to the girl and
got her father’s consent iu writing. Ho
then persuaded the town clerk to sign
a blank marriage license, which was
afterwards filled out by himself stating the
girl’s age to bo 18. After the marriage
which took place in that city, Mr. Wild
ridge and his child wife returned to her fa
ther’s house, and all went on happily until
the reverend Benedict asked his father-in
law to repay certain money which he (Dr.
Itoudiez) had borro wd. Dr, Itoudiez re
fused; and, on being threatened with legal
suasion got out a writ against his son-in
law, Mr. Wildridgo, for “false representa
tion in procuring a marriage license,” and
Mr. Wildridge was arrested, but was re
leased on bail. When brought before
Judge Carter a few days ago he pleaded
not guilty, but was fined 81 and costs,
amounting
he appealed to the Superior Court.
Ben. Perley Poore writes to the Boston
Journal: “I have to-day been shown a
letter written by u prominent British poli
tician, iu which he expresses deep regret
that Great Britain has not long since fully
acknowledged the republic of Spain.
There would not then have been insur
rections or Carlist demonstrations, and
slavery would have been abolished iu
Cuba os it was in Porto lUco. ”

Steadfastly devoted to the Tenets and great in
terests of the Baptist Denomination, this paper,
which for nearly a half century, lias been Hie or
gan and favorite of the Baptists of Georgia, and
for the past seven years, hearing the same inti
mate relation to the brotherhood of Alabama and
portions of Tennessee, South Carolina. Florida
and Mississippi—will, in the future, merit, by the
excellency of its character, their highest appre
ciation. The reader will find that, besides the
large quantity of Moral and Religious Truth with-,
which it is freighted weekly, a chaste selection
of miscellaneous reading, and a complete sum
mary of reliable intelligence—both domestic and
foreign—will render them independent of other
papers. Correctly printed Market Reports of the
principal cities will make the paper invaluable to
all classes of our people. As an advertising me
dium, possessing, sis it does, a constituency ol
over 250,000 intelligent substantial Christian peo
plc—it is unequalled by any other publication in
the South. The Index clubs with all the leading
papers and periodicals in the United States. The
interests of the friends remitting us will bo care
fully protected.
