Tub Savannah Times, heretofore one of
the most regular of our contemporaries,
greets us now only at long intervals. Its
vidts, like those of the spirits, are
few and far between. We would like
foro r content mrarr to return to its ac
customed promptness.
Albany Med'um: It is as difficult to
keep up with the management ot the
Brunswick and Western railroad as it is to
understand the true inwardneasof Dough
erty's free bridge movement. First the
road is sold, then it isn’t, and again it is
abont t • be This Is said to ba ous of the
times when it is not sold.
Tub Albany Medium declares that great
incces* in the tfosiness has made gin house
in *ndi tries bold. The negroe* on one of
Mr. Z. T. Mavo’a plantations, last week,
threatened to burn the whole place. Two
of them was pat in jail, and the others
were probably awed into subjection as
there has been no further trouble.
Tuebb are a number of thriftv negroes
in Hurt county who own good farms and
homes. Hut they never trouble themselves
•bout politics. One of them said to the
Hartwell Hun: “The white people own
the moat property aud are intelligent, and
if they m ke law* good enough :or them,
they will be good enough for me.” Sensi

in this country, and it is better for them

Mb Weight R. Rbavxs. the victim „
the foul assau.t and roonery near Valdos
ta last week, has since died from the
effects of the several wounds received.
The brutality of the crime calls for speedy
legal vengeance. The perpetrators are
still at large, but very fair descriptions of
them were obtained from Mr. Reaves be
fore hU death. The county commission
ers of Lowndes have offered a reward of
S100 for the apprehension of the murderers,
and it is expected that the State will in a
few days offer an additional reward of
|250.

lowing peculiar*notice: “Wanted-to sell,

Thb Brunswick Herald publi«hcs the
following: ‘About 3 p. m. yesterday, while
the steamer David Clark was passing St.
Simon’s Island opposite Frederica, the
■ captain inoticed somsthing unusual iu
the water about ten fees from the steam
er’s wheel house, and upon investigation
it proved to be the dead body of a white
man. The head was out cf the WAter,
and the body apparently standing upright
in the water. The face was clean shaved.
The captain hailed a man on shore and he
procured a small boat and pulled out to
where the body was, and as the steamer
passed ou of sight the man from the shore
was passing a rope over the head of the
floater. The mystery will probably never
be solved.”
Thb Columbus Times save the sight of
the Kagle and Phenix Mill No. 3 lit up by
electriot light is a sight worth seeing. An
immense long buildmg, five stories high,
apparently no life inside, no noise being
heard from the outside, occasionally i
shadowy, form passing Inside by the win
dowsor some cobweb-looking belt moving
up and down, all seemingly op, at a little
distance off, the last two the on y signs of
life. Within the building a:l is bustle and
life; without all is bright, with a pale, yel
low glare, and silent, and with the figures
moving abou% dimly seen, seem rather a
habitation for spirits than a hive of Indus
try. Any ooe who has uever seen it who
will go down near the Lowell warehouse
at dusk, or later, and take a look, will be
repaid for their tronble.

A Dttperate Encounter with Burglars.
Tree Citizen.
Last Friday night about 2 o’clock our
night policemen, Captain Amos Lsmbeth,
heard e nolee In the small room up stalls
over Mr. E. C. Lanier's store, which le oc
cupied by Mr. L. U. Rou'shan, who Is en
gaged in selling off the remnant of hts
stock of goods. Going up stairs and ap
proaching the door, he dltcovered that
there were parties In the store room, who
bad broken a padlock and a stocklock, and
with a light were going through the stock
of goods. Captain Lambeth threw the
hasp over a staple, and was la the act of
calling for help, but the parties on the in-
side were too quick for him, and jerked
open the door. TheCapiain ordered them
not to come out or he would shoot, when
one of the burgltrs shielded himself
behind the door and thrust out a Brit
ish bull-dog, central-fire, seif-cock
ing pistol, which belonging to Mr. Rout-
zabn, and whlco he had left in the store,
and both parties fired simultaneously.
The captain does not know who fired first.
The thiol emptied the five chambers of hit
pistol without effect, and spinning by CapL
Lambeth, ran down the steps, the captain
sending his last two shots after him with
out any kilo, n effect. About this time
the captain discovered that there was an
other party iu the room and ordered him
not to come out. Tho second thief made
an attempt to come out when the captain
snapped his pistol at him, by which the
burglar knew that hia pistol was exhaust
ed, and boldly springing out grasped the
cspteiu, who is an old man, and twisting
him around, fled down the steps. The
thieves were not recogn xed, only so lar as
to know that they were both negroee.
An examination shows that the thieves
secured <2 in cash, which was left in a
cigar box. aud a lotol dry goods, groceries,
and the pistol wilh which they attempt,
ed to assassinate Mr. Lambeth, all ol
which Mr. Rouixabn values et ovrrfilfO.
The thieves both lost their hats, which
may yet lead to their discovery.
The I atest —It appears thst Capt. Lam
beth did his work last night effec ually, as
one of the burglars, a negro named Jake
Griffith, was found dead with taro bullet
hoes through him, in a clump of woods
several hundred yards from tno scene of
action. The ball entered jnst below the
right shoulder, and ranged through the
left breaat. He hai met his desert,
few mo e crossties needed on that end of
the good. In the near future the Buena
Vtstlnas will be thrilled with the echoes
from the welkin and hills around which
have never been waked since the dawning
ot creation, it will be afresh and inspiring
sensation upon which they may be con
gratulated.
Counterfeiting a Valuable Article.
The publisher of the Madison Coun
ty Record writes from Huntsville,
Ark., as to the effect of Brown’s Iron
Bitters on his wife. Mr. Daugherty
says, ‘‘My wife baa been using the
Bitten for some months; the effect in
her case is remarkable.” He also
writes that owing to counterfeits and
imitations, it was difficult to get the
genuine article. That difficulty has
now been remedied, imitators have
been exposed and put to flight. There,
as elsewnere Brown’s Iron Bitters can
be had of all the respectable drnggiste
at a dollar a bottle.

pay a fine of 3500 and to be imprisoned

Much sympathy is expressed for Kemp, as

in destitute circumstances. He desired to
plead guilty, but was prevented under pain
of excommunication from the Mormon
