"Taataxia in Lincoln county will be

• Colton fieri, “owing to the court house
debt having been paid off.”
The Milton Democrat states that “there

Tbs Albsny Medium learns‘‘tbst a num
ber of citizens are dissatisfied with the
present plan of selecting municipal offi
cers. and desire that they be nominated

Tbls plan, it is claimed, wUl give batter
satisfaction.
Ban the Greenesboro Rome Journal:
“There is .till talk In this vicinity about
tasking tbe Uconte river navigable, and a
company has been formed for that pur-
pote. The steam-whistle may soon disturb
tbs renose of tbe worthy citizens on its
besutiful banks"
TuaBrnnswlck artesian well has reached
a deptn of sixty-two feet. Says the Adver
tiser and Appeal: “The first 34 feet was
through sand, next came bine clay, and
at 63 feet he struck a bard substance
which proved to be a strata of sand and
shtil. Wbat Is beyond, we cannot tell.”
Carroll County Timet: “No enterpilse
would pay mote handsomely or be mote
ot more benefit to our city, than a good

al bank, like LaGrange did the first of the

Caekoll county is in a bad war, politi
cally. tiiisba Long a negro, has announc
ed bis independent candidacy for tbe
Legislature, and fears are entertained
that tbe white vote will be so divided, that
bis election will be not only possible but
E robabie. We hope Elisha will not be
instated.
DeKalb Neva: Qalte a sensation has
been caused around Redan by various
mysterious noises that are frequently
heard in tbe house and yard of Mr
Martin, who lives near that place. It
sounds very much like a continued digging
far nnder' the surface of the ground.
Who knows but (hat this may prove a
matter ot interest to spiritualists?
Newt and Advertiser: All the four colored
men who were arrested last week upon
warrants implicating them in tbe wrecking
of tbe special train on the Bouthweftern
railroad near this city on tho night of the
24th uit, are now out on bond, tbe last of

day evening. The bonds were fixed at

Tiik Fort Gaines Tribune says: “The
turpentine farm on what is known as tbe
“od Stamper place," on the Blakely road,
was burutd last Monday. We passed
through the farm whi'e it was on fire, the
flames being on both sides of the road. It
was a weird scene indeed to see the flames
reaching a huntin'I feet in Gie air and
trees failing on all aides. Tho smoke was
•o dense and black that it could be seen
ten miles or more."
“There is a probability," says tbe Bain-
bridge Democrat, "that all of tho candid-
ttos in the field for the office of Represen
tative will meet in liulnbridga next Satur
day, and choose a hoard of arbitration, tbe
duty of which will be to select two from
the fl*xk to run tho race, and withdrawing
the others. A majority of the candidates,
we learn at this writing, favor suck an ar
rangement, and the others are being com-
mtinicatcd with in the hope of inducing
them to agree to the same. •

Thk Pike County Newt, under the head
log “A New Enterprise." publishes tbe
following; "Mr. Mitt Williams, living near
Go/guri.iville, brought us a vial of syrup
that resembled in color and taste a good
extract of ribl>on cane. Mr. Williams said
his wife made a pint of it from three smalt
watermelons. This will probably be a new
enterprise for the South. A few acr« - of
melons will turn out several hundred gal
lons of syrup. We once knew a distiller
several years who tried making whisky
from the watermelon and failed, but Mr-.
Williams has made a wonderful success in
syrup making for the first trial."

Oglethorpe Echo: We have oFen heard of
second crop peacbo*, but never saw any
until this week. We have a tree la our
garden that bore not very early In the sum
mer «full crop of fruit which we gathered.
The firsr crop was not of a very good qual
ity. but tbis week ten or twelve of tbe se v
ond crop were found, wh ; cb were large,
’tender and s*eet. A peculiarity about
th'yu was the absence ef seed.
Tub Barnesville Gazette notes the fact
that joint discus-ions between candidates
for political honors "have become a thing
of the past." The Gazette very accurately
estimates the reason. It says: "We ap
prehend that one great cause of discussion
being dispensed with is tbe fact that well
defined principles of government and dis
tinct views on questions of policy are not
to be found with tbe candidates. We ap
prehend tbat the abandoning of joint dis
cussion in our political campaigns sinks
our political methods more than any mod
ern change. This is evident, when each
oandidata is allowed to go around and
make his s atements, which seems very
plausible till the other side comes along
and makes the other side appear to the
better aavantage. I ns ten 1 of our political
canvassers drifting Into lie manufactories,
let us have some whetting of mind—some
trial of skill, some analysis of principle,
some shifting of character and conduct,
some proving of ugly reports that the real
facta may be known. This much the peo
ple have a right to demand."

A Compliment for Which We Return
Thanks.
Cartemillc Free Press.
We ere still of the opinion that the
Macon Teleobapii is one of the soundest
and ablest Democratic papers in the South.
If it has “Republican proclivities" our
mind is too obtuse to discover the slightest
indication ot its defection from true De
mocracy. It is bold and independent
enough to express oourageously its own
convictions.

The Law a Remedy for Every Conceivable
Evil.
Atlanta Journal.
The law is the axis upon which social as
well as commercial relations should re
volve. As a Ja«t resort—and as such it
should always be regarded—it a fiords a
remedy for every conceivable evil, and the
man who, pasiionately or otherwise, delib
erately ignores its supremacy and assumes
tbe responsibility of adjusting his own con
cerns, is no less a violator of tbe law than
the one by whom be feels himself ag
grieved.
8uch is the Life of the Average Editor.
Augusta Evening News.
£ It is strange how ciosely people read the
papers. We never say anything that any
body don't like but what we soon hear of
it and everybody tells us about it. But
if once in a while we happt n to say a good
thing we never bear that—nobody seem*
to notice that. We may pay some man a
hundred compliments and give him a
dozen puffs, and he takes it as a tribute to
his greatness, and never thinks it does
him any good. 'But if we happen to say
something he doesn't like, or something
that he imagine* reflects on him or his
character, see how quick he flies up o*
gets mad about iL All our evil is duly
charged to u*. but we never, apparently,
get any credit for what good we do. Such
is the life of a newspaper man.
How Love Laughs at Locksmiths Bolts.
Rome Courier.
Gadsden, Ala., enjoyed quite* sensa
tional elopement the other day. Nearly
ever>body in Rome who has visited Gads
den have seen a pretty and attractive little
lady at the Kittrell House. Sbe waa tbe
daughter of P. J. Smith, proprietor of the
bote), and who advertises himself as the
"meanest man in America." Miss Smith
was one o( the moat popular young ladies
In the city, and among the many who sued
for her hand and heart waa a young Dr.
Kdwards, of Atlanta, whom the old folks
at home looked on with disfavor because
of his youth. The Doctor was only 18
years old. The voung people were devoted
to each other, although the young man
had been forbidden to see bis lady love.
Tbe sequel brings out the same old story
of how "love laughs at locksmiths' bolts/'
Last Saturday the young lady disappeared,
and her aUrn father, scenting au elope
ment in the wind, instituted a search for
his willful though pretty little daughter;
but the young people had skipped for parts
unknown.
Mr. Smith received a telegram from
Jacksonville Monday morning, announc
ing that Miss Khnnie Smith and Dr. Ed
ward* had been married in that place, vn
Tuesday afternoon tbe youthful groom
and •till more youthful brida returned to
Gadsden, where father and mother re
ceived them with open arms.

In Favor of the Ante Bellum Academy!

We may be called an old fogy, bat we
yearn for theoM field school and ante-bel

ing, with their patient work and solid
foundations. Let them be derided as much
as they may, but they produced a scholar
ship that has flooded our time with a deli
cat* cultur \ a pure literary trade, a high
order of true statesmanship and a solid
basis of business iaieni ami aUuucM.
An Idle Brain the Devil's Workshop.
Augusta Evening News.
There ia a pressing necessity for the rigid
enforcement of the vagrant laws of the
State. The devil always finds something
for Idle hinds to do, and as there is an
immense amount of idleness there is a
large amount of devilment going on over
the country just now. Thers are too many
loafers In every community for its peace,
and too many tramps and vagabonds going
through tbe country with no visible means
of support Let the Legislature make
stricter the laws of vagrancy, and let every
grand jury strictly and faithfully enforce
them.
A Deaoerata 8tuggle With a Dark Sub"
feet in a Dork Room.
Marietta Journal.
Mr. W. G. Haggard and family live in a
neat house on their farm in sight of Mr.
Timothy Stephens’ on Canton road, about
two miles from Marietta. On Wednesday
night of last week he retired, but about
fifteen minutes after nine be got up and
passed into the dining room, and while
there noticed one of the windows up.
This was unusual, and he called to his wife
to know if she had left it up, and receiving
a negative reply hia suspicions be
came aroused tbat all was not
right. He. passed back into his own
room, picked up the lamp and lit it, and to
hi* astonishment there crouched at the
foot of his bed was a big black negro. Mr.
Iluggard turned round to reach the bureau
to get his pistol, when the negro perceiv
ing his action sprang upon hUu. knocking
the lamp out of his hand, breaking it and
extinguishing the light Then a desperate
hand-to-hand straggle ensued in the dark
room. The negro sometimes would have
MLHifpmwvioa tbs floor boating
him, and then Mr. Huggard would reverse
the order of the combat and have tbe
n<-gro on tbe floor. The fighters tumbled,
knocked and floundered about on the floor,
finally reaching the dining room where the
dining table was turned over and glass
ware broken. Tbe negro regained bis feet
a:i<1 attempted to jump through the hoist
ed widow when the sash fell on bis foot,
but he managed to eacape, leaving Mr.
H ; _-nrd Lia • r of the situation, bat ex
hausted and badly bruised. The negro
carried off a fine watch belong. ,; to Mr.
C. Pate presiding.

HER HUSBAND.
September 20.—The case of Nancy Mor
ris, colored, charged with the murder of
her husband by poisoning, was tried on

cumstantial but made out a very strong
case against the defendant. Tho case oc
cupied the whole day and part of the night.
About 11 o'clock last night the jury re-
turiHMl a verdict of guilty with a recom

September 20.—A novelty in the way of
an entertainment waa one given last even

large number of white ears being selected,
witn one red ear among them, a miniature
sum was charged for each ear, and the ore
purchasing the red one was to kiss the
lady of his choice. Of course all bought
freely. Mr. Thornwell Gamble, being the
successful man. was granted by the crowd
the privilege of that pleasant duty, but the
young lady very nicely refused by saying
that ‘ r Mama says I mustn't."

address, appropriate to tbe occasion, ana,
after dinner. Judge II. W. Baldwin enter
tained ns with a memorial address on Mr.
Braswell, whose munificence ha* created
a fund for the education of the orphan
children of Morgan county. In making
this bequest Mr. Braswell laid the founda
tion of a fund which, by good management,
has been of incalculable good to our coun
ty, and in speaking of it Judge Baldwin
was most remarkably entertaining, hold
ing the attention of his audience for a length
of time that was remarkable, consider!
the fact that the crowd was composed
quite a number of children and the day
was very warm. This academy is locat
ed on the spot where Mr. Braswell livid
