Runaway.
Monday afternoon while Dr. C. W.
Arnold was at his plantation and pre
paring to return to the city, his car
riage and horse* standing in front of
the store house, and while the driver
stepped in after sonx-thing, a limb
from an old tree fell with a loud crash
just behind the carriage, frightening
the horses. There being no one in
the cairiage, and no one holding the
frightened horses, they dashed off like
lightning, ran about a mile and de
molished the carriage. They were
finally caught by some negroes who
met them in the road.

A Terrible Tragedy.
A communication from an esteemed
Bainbridge correspondent appears
elsewhere in regard to the murder of
a woman in Miller county by her hus
band, Fulford, assisted by two ne
groes. The reported lynching o! the
murderers is denied by our corres
pondent, but wc have since learned
from a gentleman, Mr. Robert Mims,
who has a plantation within three miles
of the scene of the tragedy,and who was
•there on Saturday last, that the three
men, Fulford and the two negroes,
xvere taken out of jail oil Saturday
night, and their heads severed from
their bodies—they literally had their
heads chopped off.
As this report seems to he later
than the one furnished by our Bain
bridge correspondent, it is probably
true, though we shall not attempt lo
decide as between the two. Dis
patches from Macon Tuesday also
report the lynching, so it most be
true.

he was brought up to Ty Ty Iasi even

another that he threatened violence

it is some old warrants brought against

J. W. Kemp, City Policeman of the
city of Albany, Ga., while in the dis
charge of his official' duty as such of
ficer in arresting and taking before the
Mayor one Henry Taylor, colored,
who was guilty of disorderly conduct
in violation of said city ordinances
on the 2nd day of Angust, 1883, with
in the corporate limits of the city of
Albany, Georgia, to the disturbance
of the peace of said eity was heard.
The case wis of unusual interest,
and quite an array of witnesses were
sworn. Henry Taylor was in the em
ploy of Mr. Jackrou, and on the 2nd
insL was guilty of a violation'of an
ordinance al the artesian well late in
the evening. He attempted to fill a
bucket at the drinking fountain, and
when ordered away by Policeman
Kemp, indulged in some impudence.
The policeman knocked him donn
with a drinking cup, and knives were
drawn on both sides.
Mr. Jackson happening up, the
negro went to him wilh bis com
plaints—said the policeman had
knocked him down without cause, etc.
Mr. Jacksou declared the negro should
not be imposed upon. The policeman
then determined to arrest the negro,
and there waa an incipient riot brew
ing. - When Mr. Jackson learned that
the officer wished to mike ah arrest,
he advised the negro to submit.
This was about the substance of
the case boiled down, though there
was a great deal of -evidence pro and
con. Mr. Jackson was ably repre
sented oy Judge D. H. Pope, and the
city by its attorney, Mr. Oliver. Some
good speeches and nice points were
made on both sides, and the case sub
mitted to His Honor, who decided
there was not sufficient evidence to

To the ffonorable Mayor and City
Council of Albany, Ga.:
Gxstlxmex—I herewith submit my
quarterly report for quarter ending
June 30.
I find the two steamers and hand
engine in good condition. The book
and ladder trucks is badly in need of
ladders and buckets. I would recom
mend that twelve new buckets he pur
chased for them, and that the ladders
be thoroughly repaired and painted.
The Department is in need of new
hose, and I would suggest that 600 feet
of hose be purchased. Also, a new
hose reel for Thronateeska No. 1, and
the old reel be repaired and sach sec
tions of old hose as may he in good re
pair or can be repaired be placed upon
it, and kept in the engine house as a
reserve.
The cisterns are in good repair, and
kept as well supplied with water as
possible.
Id my last report I urged upon yon
the importance of purctasing com
plete uniforms for Eagle No. 2 and
Hook & Ladder No. 1. This, I re
gret to say, has only Icon partially
complied with, and if delayed or re
fused will, I fear, cause dissatisfaction
among the members. The efficiency
ol the Fire Department, so long as the
zeal and interest which now prevails
among the members continues, is all
that can be hoped for.
Below I give the number of feet of
effective hose of each company, and
the division 1 propose to be made of
the new hose in case you conclude to
purchase it:
AMOUNT OF EFFECTIVE HOSE IS DEPART
MENT.
Thronateeska '650 feet.

As soon as the Albany boys arrived
in Leesburg they were met by a dele
gation of the club, and a number of
Lee’s most worthy citizens, who es
corted them over to Mr. Torn Carter’s
store, where an ample rnel varied sup
ply of good things, arranged in first
class style awaiied them Here the
committee and members of the club
were joined by I heir wives, sweet
hearts, sisters, ami a large host - of
friends, who vied with each other in
extending to the Albany boys a hearty
welcome and a sumptuous dinner,
which the guests certsinly appreciated
and enjoyed, judging from the numer
ous and frequent expressions of delight
sn4 satisfaction which wc heard on
every side. The barbecue was per
fect, and done lo t nicely. After the
game was over, I he boys were taken in
cliargo and turned over to a committee
pf the L -eslitirgclab, who entertained
them in a right royal manner, and we
do not think our boys will forget in a
hurry the many nets of kindness and
attention shown them during their
stay. AH hail to Leesburg and her
generous-he.irlcd citizens.
The defeat our boys met with Wed
nesday, is wrangling in their bosoms,
and they are thirsting for revenge.
As it is quite likely that the full Alba
ny club ean be gotten together about
the middle of next week, it is pro
posed to invite the Leesburg nine
down to play a game in which both
teams shall go to work in good earn
est, and give ns tn excellent game.

Sltonld Flirts be Kncouraetd?
Texas sifluix*.
“Henrietta” sends this startling in
terrogatory home to this office, inscrib
ed on a Scotch plaid sheet of fancy
stationary, inclosed iu a No. 5, fila
gree-ornamented envelope, with a
Cupid sitting on the safety valve of a
fractured heart, and we have no doubt
that she imagines her question to be a
crusher. But, though staggering
somewhat under the weight of Uiecon
undrum, we hurl back our Rnswer:
“Yes, by all means.”
We never flirted with any one that
xve know of, as probably one or two
glances at our galvanized features and
chronic obliquity of our optics has dis
couraged the poor things who might
otherwise have wanted to flirt with us
between meals; but, nevertheless, we
think flirting should be encouraged,
and we don't mind letting Henrietta
know why we are of that opinion.
We had a young friend once whom
xve thought everything of. and he fell
a victim to the wiles of a flirt. He was
a blonde, and she was a blonde, in a
kindom by the sea -Baltimore, for in
stance—and the terrible love stroke
which prostrated him left him, to all in
tents and purpose, a mangled, batter
ed wreck on a stormy sea of trouble.
He really thought all the world of the
blonde, and would sit up at night and
spin stories about her, and extol her
fascinations, and talk about her eyes,
and lie about her hair, and drivel on
concerning rosy lips, pearly teeth,
matchless form, etc., long after the
balmy goddess of slumber had wooed
us to repose and attuned our melodious
olfactory organs to the music of the
spheres.
Our friend used to beat his landlady
out of boards bills and borroxv money
to buy opera tickets for his girl and
taffy bn a stick for her little brother.
It was as complete a mash, Henriet
ta, as we ever xvitnessed, and we have
seen quite a large number of this de
scription; but, compared to this phy-
rotechnic display, they were all tame
and second-class affairs. Well, to
make a long love story interestingly
short, she bounced him one evening,
and the jig was up. She jilted, sack
ed,. mittened and fired him out of her
affections, with all the hissing velocity
of an old shoe brush thrown at a wail
ing cat. When he came in that night
to go to bed, he looked like a stricken
deer—a wounded fawn wrestling with
sciatica.. For five long weeks he rav
ed in a hideous delirium. Then he re
covered, shook the dust of Baltimore
from his heel-straps, jumped his board
and doctor’s bills, and aimlessly wan
dered away to Leadville, carrying with
him our best suit of clothes, six pairs
of cotton socks and a tooth-brush.
Well, he was grub-staked by a phi
lanthropist, struck it rich, opened a
miners’ supply store, married the
daughter of a bonanza king, has two
blue-eyed children and a loving wife.
The blonde female bursted up all the
heart furniture she came in contact
with, refused about thirty-five splendid
offers, and retired from the business.
She doesn’t draw well now. She is
faded and paue. She waues and wob
bles on the down grade. It does us
bushel of good to see her grit her teeth
when the fellows like the Pharisees,
pass by on the other side and give her
a wide berth. She is elected—to stay
at home, and bids fair to make as vine
gary an old spinster as yon will find in
a day’s walk.
Yes, on the whole, flirting should be
encouraged. It certainly saved our
Leadville friend from a fate almost too
horrible to mention. And whenever
xve see a young man struggling in the
gill-net of a well-constructed athletic
flirt, we feel like saying:
“Steady, old boy; you will feel all
the better when you get out!”

The Crops.
The crop report of the Agricultural
Department for the month of July is
before us. It is a very discouraging
report, as to cotton the average for the
whole State being 75. In 1882, the
average for the whole State on the 1st
day of August, was 90.
The corn prospect is even worse
than cotton; the average beingr 74 for
the whole State. Taking the Slate
by sections, Southwest Georgia com
pares favorably with other portions
of the State, showing up 82 as an
average.
Sugar cane and sweet potatoes will
show up very badly; the drouth hav
ing struck those crops in a critical
time. There will also be a short
crop of field peas, owing to want of
szasons to plant

“What stufl is that ? How conld

“It’s the simplest thing in the

Jones did. Smith thought it was my
funeral, and went to it Now, Smith
has died, and I am going to get even

“But, perhaps, this Smith who has
died is not the same Smith yon

“That’s al* the better. I hope it is
some other Smith that I don't

“Why so?'
“Because I am not busy just now,
