readers that it beats all the fly traps,
fly poisons or other inventions for de
stroying that greatest of all domestic
nuisances in this country—the house
fly—that we have ever seen. If dif
fers from all other fly-catchers wc
have ever seen, and is entirely free
from the most objectionable feature
attached to all others—it does not
have to be “baited,” and does not at
tract a swarm of flies into the house.
It merely takes hold of every one that
touches it, and, in the course of a day,
will catch nearly every fly that enters
a room. Try it and see if all we have
said of it is not true.
Alxmt dusk yesterday evening there
was a shooting affray in East x\ll*any
between Mr. R. M. Johnsm and
Joseph W. and John Cooper, in which
the Iw’b latter wore shot by (lie former.
The particulars o( ihe sflMr as wc
were able to gather then* last night
were very unsatisfactory, and, for
fear of doiiig injustice to one
party or the other, we shall not
undertake to report the origin of the
difficulty in detail. Mr. Johnson left
for home, it is presumed,immediately
after the difficulty tool: place, and the
News and Advertiser could not get
his statement, nor that oi any of his
friends, if indeed, he had au> pres
ent.
Mr. Johnson keeps a store in East
Dougherty, and the Cooper Brothers
keep ope in East Albany. The dif
ficulty, it seems, grew out of a
little rivalry between Johnson and the
Coopers in selling soda water and con
fectionaries at a big negro picnic which
recently took place on Marshal Mer
ritt's place in East Dougherty. The
Coopers had made arrangera^njs }
carry Uieir soda fountain, etc, to r iM
picnic, and, just before the time ap
pointed for them to start, received a
note or order from old man Merritt
not to come. This order, the Cooper;
claim to have afterwards found out,
came from their rival, Johnson, instead
of from old man Merritt; and yester
day evening Joseph Cooper met John
son in East Albany and charged him
with haviqg committed a forgery in
order to keep him (Cooper) away and
have the entire field to himself. Uol
words passed, which soon led to seri
ous work. Joseph Cooper, the
only one of the parties to the
affair that was interviewed by the
News and Advertiser, states that
Johnson drew his pistol first, and that
when he (Cooper) drew his, Johnson
returned his weapon to his breast
pocket; that they then went walking
along toward Ratliffs store together,
still quarreling, when Johnson sudden
ly snatched his (Cooper’s) pistol out
of his hand.
One witness to the affair told the
News and Advertiser last night that
he did not see Johnson draw a pistol
at all, ami that he did not think he
had one. Whether this be true or not,
it is admitted by Cooper himself that
he was shot with his own pistol.
When Johnson snatched Cooper’s
pistol out of his hand and the scuffle
began, John Cooper rushed out of the
sUu-e and started toward them, and as
ho approached Johnson fired on him.
John Cooper fell, and Johnson then
turned and fired upon Joseph Cooper.
A third shot was fired, but without
effect, and we did not learn at which
of the Coopers it was aimed. The
shot fired at John Cooper entered the
left hip, passed through the abdomen,
and lodged in the right groin, where it
was extracted by Dr. Hilsman. Jo
aeph Cooper was struck in the right
thigh, the ball passing around the bone
and lodging almost opposite where it
entered. He walked over into the
city, and the ball was extracted by
Dr. Strother.
John Cooper’s wound is a serious
one, but not necessarily a fatal one
in the opinion of his physician.
There being no police in East Al
bany, Johnson was not detained, and,
so far as we learned, no warrant was
issued for his arrest last night..

AS TO MR. JOHNSON.

occurrence. For reasons, perhaps
prudential, he has not yet given'him

it is understood, are retained.

The account of the shooting of I he
Cooper brothers in East Albany, late
Saturday afternoon, by E. M. John
son, as detailed in our issue of Sunday
morning, was correct and full enough.
The reconotal has given satisfaction to
the friends of both parties, and withal
neither leaned to the right or the left.
Hence we feel there is no necessity for
ns to go into any further detail as to
the origin or the difficulty itself. A

DEATH OF JOHN COOPER AT BIS RESI
DENCE.
John, the brother whose, wound was
the more dangerous of the t&-p, bwjan
to show signs sufficient to alarm at a
late hour Sunday evening, and, after a
night of restlessness and pain, those
who watched so keenly knew that but
fow of the hours of the new-born day
wonld see the poor fellow alive.
Anxious friends called through the
morning, and came from the room
with moistened eyes and sad faces.
Rev. Mr. Williams, of the Methodist
church, of which the sufferer had
been a member, and Rev. Mr. Graves,
who had been invited in by members
of the family, stood by the bedside
from early morning administering
such spiritual comfort as was possible
to the now fast-sinking man. He is
now in a comatose condition, and the
sobs of the family can hardly be re
pressed as the poor man gasps in slow
measure for his breath. The feet are
cold, the eyes are set, in which the
glaze of death is rapidly forming.
The gasps are longer apart, feeble—
and as a candle horning in the socket
goes out the life of John Cooper. The
death occurred at a few minutes past
10 o’clock; the exact time we cannot
say.
NO INQUEST.
After a jury had been summoned
and the jurors had. repaired to the
spot, it.was decided that as the cause
of the death was so plain and palpable;
no inquest was necessary. A post
mortem examination was made by
Doctors Hilsman, Strother, Jones and
Bacon. Seven holes were found
through the small intestines, and five
in the large, which resulted in general
deposited In Flint Fiver at Albany
Yesterday.
Mr. II. E. Quinn, of the United
Slates Fish Commission, arrived in the
city by the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway yesterday morning,
wilh one hundred thousand young
shad for Flint river.
A dispatch to Mayor Wilder in
formed him that the fish were coming,
and he met Mr. Quinn at the train
wilh a dray for the purpose of convey,
ing the precious cargo directly to the
river. In less than half an hour after
he arrived at the depot Mr. Quinu^iad
deposited his charge into Ihe river al
the foot of Broad street. The little
minnows were scarcely large enough lo
he seen with the naked eye, hut they
were as lively as could be, and many
of them will no doubt he large shad in
two years from now.
Tbe Library Entertainment,
Fifteen dollars and some cents were
taken in at the door. At 15 cents a
head, yon may have an idea how
many people listened to the sparkling
programme as gotten up by Mrs C.
M. Clark and the Misses Davis. It
embodied features heretofore unused,
and brought out talent that has been
dormant throughout nearly the entire
series of entertainments. The pro
gramme began with the beautiful
song, “Non Evere,’’ npon the follow
ing instruments: violin, piano, fiute.a,
cornet and trombone, which made an
orchestra which it is a sliame not to
keep up. As only Mrs. R. J. Bacon,

was enjoyed as rendered by Miss
Elise Davis’ delicious and cultivated
soprano. We would like to tell Miss
Bessie Willingham the Dumber of
compliments we have beard npon the
highly dramatic and perfect manner
id which she rendered “The Burning
Ship.” The sweet, plaintive and
velvet notes of Miss Nela Cutliff were
heard in “Glide, Gondolier, Glide.”
Mnsical Will Geiger and Lint Al-
friend, with Antes, beguiled the audi
ence into tbe sweetest reveries by the
rendition of the dear old “Sonnds

air and Will coming in with his
double-back-action hemi-demi semi-
quavering second. We cannot call by
name the beautiful poem recited by
sweet little Miss Eva Carter, nor did
onr seat allow us to heir it well, but
we could tell by the generous ap
plause accorded her that her contribu
tion went straight to the beat ts of
those who heard her. “Angel Sere
nade,” a song of peculiar arrangement,
but nevertheless pleasing, was sung
in clear and firm voice by Miss Stella
Wight After a recitation by Miss
Nannie Davis, in her well-known able
manner, Jim Tift and Dave Robinson
brought down the house wilh a scene
in corkology, in which they acquitted
themselves handsomely.
At the conclusion President Davis
made some important announcements,
among which was that at the- first en
tertainment in Jnly the performers
would be children between the ages of
ten and thirteen. This is what every
body has been itching to see.

Mr. William It. Leaken :
Dear Sir: The specimen of water
from the new artesian well at Albany,
Ga., has been examined in this labora
tory. It proves to be a very pure
water, most admirably fitted fordrink-
iug purposes. It contains of total
solids cloven to twelve grains per
gallcn (calcium, magnesia, iron, and
abundance of chlorides.) It contains
0.7 part of chlorine in 100.000 parts of
water, a quality not ill the least im
portant. The amount of organic or
nitrogenous material found in it is prac
tically none. Very few waters in use
arc as good and beneficial as that un
der consideration.
Yours truly,
Ira Ramsf.n.

Returns to His Practice In Albany.
In another column will be found the
professional card of Dr. W. W. Bacon,
who for the past several months has
been out of the profession here. He
relinquished a good practice for a
splendid opening in the lumber busi
ness in Savannah, but after repeated
trials the climate of that city and the
duties of his new calling deprived him
of anything like good health, and so
he is back to his old friends and pa
trons. It is unnecessary for ns to
here express anything npon the quali
fications of Dr. Bacon as a physician.
Flowers In Parlors.
All flowers become the drawing
room; the finer and choicely selected
the varieties the more elegant the
decoration. Boses are the richest and
dressiest of all blossoms ; orchids are
exceptionally choice and lilies are the
most effective. The tendency in dress
ing a parlor with roses is to overdo,
and to fill in places high or somewhat
out of sight with inferior bloom.
Swinging nondescript designs between
doors over mirrors is horn of poor
taste. Flowers lose their effect when
tied on sticks and woven into silly
motloed balls, knots and arrows. Small
flower glasses should contain but one
long stemmed rose, a spike of orchid
oraspray oflilly. Vases demand care
ful arrangement. Dallas and euphorbia
japonica combine well in these, but

Valuable Saggestlou to SXotbers.
Dear Mr. Editor Long experience m carol he of

Acker’s English Remedy, which is exceedingly
palatable, and may be safely given to tbe young-

—Let - the following notice from
the Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee be remember
ed. It will be seen that the day
fixed for the mass meeting in Ca
milla is,the 4th of July, the same day
recommended by the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee:
“The Democratic Couvenlion of
Mitchell county is callciLto convene
in Camilla ou the first Tuesday in
July next, the same being Ihe 4th of
the mouth, for the purpose of select
ing delegates to the Slate Democrat
ic Convention, to be held in Atlaula
on the 19th of July. A full attend
ance of the people is desired.”

—On our return home we find
Camilla enjoying the repose of
summer. The merchants have put
up handsome awnings to break the
rays of the snn, preparatory to “set
it out’’ during the hot weather.
Business was not so dull as we ex
pected to find it. We have not
heard anything more about the ar
tesian well. The old wells are fill
ing up from the late heavy rains,
and Ihe good people may decide they
can stand it another summer. But
a visit to Albany will arouse the en
thusiasm lo hare one at all hazards.
On last Satnrday we noticed that the
wagons, which carried out the meal
and bacon, took also a cask of ar
tesian water. This water, placed in
a dry well,-will keep sweet or can
be used with ice. So the Albany
well is proving a blessing to the
surrounding country.'
—lVe took a ride from Camilla
some ten miles tip the Albany road.
The crops were promising. But
Uncle Bobbie Cochran and his col-
oied neighbor, Bergan Neal, who
rents the old Tinsley place, had the
best colton.
We always expect to see extra
crops at Uncle Bobbie’s, bnt Bergan
Neal surprised us. That neighbor
hood missed the heavy, washing rain
lhat fell about Camilla and vicinity
on Sunday afternoon..
Mr. James Palmer has a pretty
crop, especially on tbe railroad. No
farmer in the county is ahead of him
in the general appearance of his
farm.
The oat crop is good. Much of it
is in the field not yet hauled up,
Dry weather will prevent it front
rotting. But we have no such oat
crop as higher up. Sumter county
cau beat us this year in oats and
corn and peas. We did not have the
early rains. But we never have
found in our travels snch oals as
Clian Jones finds. Those oats the
Williams brothers grew at Newton
were whoppers!
We do not regard the cotton crop
as flattering. The cold nights have
given it a sickly appearance, and it
is full of lice. Warm weather and
tot nights will work wonders for
colton, but the miracle is. yet to
come. There are “patebs,” highly
manured and rapidly worked, that
look well.
•Major L. C. Bryan, editor Farm
er's Monthly, was in Camilla on
Tuesday. The Major says he loves
leave his sanctum and mingle
with the farmers. He gets new
ideas from them.
Damp Scaifc and Tom Palmer
have started to Florida on a sum
mer tour. Wbat a fine brace they
make 1 The whole Stale will fall in
love with them.
—Bill Morgan, now at Twitty. &
Culpepper’s old stand, has put up a
handsome soda fount. He says his
syrups will be pore and his soda
water first-class. Walk up, gentle
men.
—Dr. Wood has returned from
Texas, after a long visit to his son.
The Doctor likes Texas. He has
settled his son, Dr. Will Wood, there,
but-will not locate himself at his
time of life (he is not old yet.) We
are glad he is to remain a citizen of
Mitchell connty, for he is one of the
very best we have.
—Mr. Byars, of Cnthbert, in con-
juction with Rev. Jno. L. Uuder-
wood, we hear, will start a paper in

—Morris Suntheimer, with Mayer
& Glauber, Brunswick, was in town
Wednesday.
—Some of the papers continnally
refer to Gov. Colqnitt as the Sunday
School Governor. He no longer
uses snch platitudes, and why so ac
cuse him ? Ever since his last elec
tion he has forgotten, or been too
busy, to be at all the Sunday School
conventions and colored parades in
Georgia. Let Governor Colqnitt
alone about bis visiimg. He no
longer goes around in Georgia, but
the press has absolutely ran him
away from borne, and our noble
Governor’s field of visiting is trans
ferred to Yankee soil. Well, that
is certainly missionary ground 1
—The Macon Telegraph is read
now with much interest. The Atlan
ta Constitution, the Augnta Chroni
cle and Constitutionalist, the Savan
nah MominngNews, and the Colum
bus Times, all pitch into the Tele
graph, bnt Albert Lamar, Sid Lewis
and Harry Edwards are equal to the
emergency. It was no fancy sketch
—that of “Col. Horatins’’ at the
gate!
—Listen to Albert Lamar again.
He says: “It were folly for the
Southern people lo anticipate any
improvement, any permanent pros
perity, or even pecuniary existence,
should onr governments, city, conn
ty and State, pass into the hands of
ignorance and vice.’’ This sentence
contains all there is in what is called
Bonrbon Democracy. We do not
broke 'till that day. Edwards was
now old, most of his life, having
been spent as a lawyer in active prac
tice in London. The parties were
returning from church. Edwards
could, talk of nothing bnt farm-life
and the pleasures, of the country.
Boswell: “I have no notion of living
in the country. What yon have to
entertain you is exhausted in half an
hour.’’ Edwards: “What! do you
not love to have hopes realized ? I
see my grass, my clover, my corn
and my trees growing. Now, for
instance. I'm curious to see if this
frost has not nipped my fruit trees.’’
Johnson, who was practical, replied :
“Sir, yon find you have fears as well
os hopes.”
Would like to hear from Bill on
“the fears’’ of farm life, the fear of
labor making a strike or leaving,
the fear of the cook getting married,
or taking up with a man on another
place, the fears that the grass gives,
the fears of winds and storms and
rains, of cholera' among chickens,
colic among mules, the fear of the
well going dry, or the washer
woman failing to come back Monday
morning, the fears of mileage in
doctor’s bills, or tbe incendiary’s
torch, or that greatest of all fears,
(lhat ends won’t meet), the factor’s
lien. John Pearce says his “Dooms
Day” book is gloomy reading. But
it is better, like Arp, to look on the
pretty side and see “a smiling land,”
and innocence and peace:
—Miss Clem Hampton tells ns she
will open her free school on the 19th

Dr. Dasher’s residence.

ought not to neglect any longer.

Tbe Crops In Baker.
Baker County, Ga., Jane 5,1882.
Editor News and Advertiser:
The oats have all been harvested.
A very fine crop of this cereal has
been saved.
Corn is on a boom—the growing
corn—and the people are happy. If
seasons hold ont there will be plenty
of corn to sell in Baker next season.
We have bad very fine r^ins recent
ly.
Cotton is not doing so well. The
weather is too coot. Cot worms and
lice are on the plant Will do con
siderable damage if we do-not have
warm weather soon.
The County Commissioners to-day
raised the price of license to sell
iiqnor, in Baker connty, from $27 to
$1,000. A pretty good advance in one
day. The people all say, “Well done
good and faithfol servants.’’
Respectfully,
Baker.

health and avoid sickness.
Instead of feeling tired and
worn out, instead of aches
and pains, wouldn’t you
lather feel fresh and strong?
You can continue feeling
miserable and good for no
thing, and no one but your
self can find fault, but if you
are tired of that kind oflife,
you can change it if you
choose.
