THE TOWN AND COUNTY. / What Our Reporters See, Hear and Think— People Who Come, Go and Stay—A Little of Everything. Mr. Lonnie Matters is studying law un¬ der Col. H. G. Everett. Miss Eliza Martin is expected to return from her Florida visit next Saturday. Miss Jennie Roach opened school in the Academy last Monday morning with an enrollment of thirty pupils. Nlr. George Adams, a young man from South Carolina, is visiting our town, and is a guest of the family of Mr. Bud Ma¬ thews. Miss Minnie Roberts returned to her home the early part of this week, after a few days pleasantly spent with the Misses Mathews. Miss Maggie Green, who had been spend¬ ing several weeks with her sister, Mrs. Gumming, returned to her home, near Excelsior, last Saturday. Mr. Owen Mathews, one of our young friends, reached his home in Statesboro last Friday, after having a pleasant jour¬ ney through the country from South Car¬ olina. Walter Reaves wants everybody to come around and take a squint at his new “cook shop.” He takes great pride in pointing out the beauties of its archi¬ tecture, Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Jenkins have return¬ ed to town after a few days’ visit in the family of Mr. Hiram Franklin, and have secured quarters with the family of Esq. Rountree. AVe are sorry to learn of the serious ill¬ ness of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Miked, with the grip. However, the attending phy¬ sician, Dr. Holland, reports them as slightly ....... improving.

TT Henry T ..assitor, ot ,,, the otd T1 citi- .... one ed as having passed away - tWs ' inclining at hjs hoine near yei]wood. Mr. Isaac Jacobson has taken one of Dr. AA'kite’s stores now in course of con¬ struction, and will go on to New- A ork within the next few weeks for the purpose of laying in a stock of goods. Messrs. R. F. Lester, J. C. -Tones, Dr. McLean and the Times editor, “we four, and no more,” have an invitation to go out to Mr. Ben Atwood’s mill pond to¬ morrow to join in a big fishing frolic. The weather bureau is respectfully invited to turn on a little more heat for 1 he oc¬ casion. Miss Ada Edwards is making up a school, and will call her classes together shortly in the Fields Hall. Mrs. A\ ilkin soil is also endeavoring to secure the charge of a few of the smaller children of the town, and will probably teach at her own home. This would make five schools in our town. Our young friend, Mr. \V. P. Ennis. has engaged to teach, at Mill Ray, and w .jj n a five-months term there next Monday. Mr. Ennis was assistant teacher in the Pembroke Academy last summer, since which he has taken a tbree months'course under Prof. J. S. Day is, in the Statesboro Academy. He now out prepared to do better work • than . ueiore. I am offering my winter line of Gent’s Underwear at a reduced price. C. W. Enneis. Nick Foss talks of trying tobacco grow variety that has been grown so profit¬ ably in upper Florida for several years pa * t .. H P thinks of putting in eight acres of “the weed.” The Times feels impelled to remark that one-half the cotton lauds of Bulloch county might be more profit¬ ably cultivated in tobacco. NL- Hark ness having taken territory in the western part of the state, with head Home Sewing Machine Company s interests in qjjs locality. From his headquarters in this town, Nlr. Johnson has convenient access to a large and profitable field; and representing, its he does, the most popular machine that has ever been in troduced to the public, during the pres¬ ent year Mr. Johnson confidently expects to fill an increased number of orders. Mr. R. W. Deltich, thelye who accidentally shot himself in some time ago, is suffering a great ilal of pain from his wound. He will grlto Atlanta soon to submit his appre)ie»i|j case to |)r. Calhoun wounded of that c j^y_ ant j that the member will have to be removed, He thinks there are she lodged in the ball of the eye. Twenty-two whitf and six colored ap¬ plicants appeared More the examining board last Saturday Some of these after an¬ nounced outside that they were not teachers’ license, bujj just desired to find out “where t hey weifc at,” with the view of probably making’a little extra effort to reach the grtal aiother term. If each of these applicants before l|td Icing to examined, “chip in” his is or her dollar as required by the Florida school La w, Prof. Hagin would n^fc have had Ins' hands quite so full. ' C. W. Enneis is how closing ou his winter li^o <^f dress goods, Cashmeres, Gifegbams, Flanel and Calicos at cost. Also Yellow Homespun, ^leashing, Checks, Bed-ticking, <?tc., at a reduced price. If you want bargains in this line come at on fee. The alliance ra' ly planned for States¬ boro, and which should have come off yesterday, appeal* to have been a failure. The district lecturer, Mr. H. L. Smith, came over from Epanuel che day before, loaded to the muzile, but the game failed to turn up. Our reporter saw Mr. Smith on his way to the train this morning, and from him gathered the information that the disappointment occurred from the fact of the alliance organ oi' the county failing to take noti® of the intended gath¬ ering. The few alii? neemen who did turn out, secured their k low ledge of the meet¬ ing from some outs de source. Another effort will bo made 1 iter, with the hope of having a better und rstanding. Miss Anna Ruslin came in from the country last Monday on her first visit to townland will ,spend a couple E-ltnstHv of weeks J^th file her brother liustin Mr, W. Hopse. mg on businels Xo augusua, from which point he expects He to visit other parts of the state. spoke of going well up toward the Tennessee line, with the probabil¬ of ity of bringing back a carload fine cattle. Mr. and Mrs. Camming and Miss Emma Griner organized a fish-fry at Barnes’s mill pond last rues day, but the weather went back on the occasion, Charlie went out early in the morning, however, and succeeded in taking in twenty eight fine fish during the day, and the ladies, who followed later, de dared the occasion to have been quite enjoyable. While Mr. Jack Lee was attend¬ ing a party at the residence of Mr. W. J Strickland, one night during the holidays, his horse became frightened at thy fire-works and broke his halter, taking to the woods with the buggy harness on. During the night it rained so lhat the animal could not oe tracked the next and . that morning, smee time all searches tor hint have proved fruitless. See adver¬ tisement in the Times. Screven’s Democrats on Top. Sylvsnia, Ga., .Tan. 10.— 1 The unterrified democracy of Screven county still retains election for ordinary yesterday. Not withstanding the rain,about 2,000 votes were polled, and George H. Sharp was elected over tV . L. Mathews, the leader of the populists in the county. The demo erat-s are jubilant over the result, for it was an important election in its influence on the political future in this county. The f ° r “’ " The above is taken from the Savannah News of this morning. We learn from Mr. Pope Solomons, who was in Sylvania at the time of the election, and who re¬ mained there until full reports were in from the country precincts, that the dem¬ ocratic majority was only 24. Mr. Solo¬ mons also informs us that this narrow margin was the result of a surrender be forehand on the part of many democrats who thought it useless to contend against the odds and remained at home on Tues¬ day. Doubtless they now feel like ad¬ ministering to themselves their deserved kicking. DEAD. Having anxiously watched the course of his sickness since he first b(*cume dan¬ gerously ill, wo were not unprepared for the announcement: that reached our ears early Monday morning last that Rossio Hall was dead. Swinging between life and death for ten days previously, he quietly breathed his last at 0 o’clock of the morning referred to, surrounded by several friends and in the presence of a grief-stricken family. Our sincere sym¬ pathies, with those of the whole commu¬ nity, are specially extended to the par¬ ents of the young man, whose heart¬ strings may be truly said to have been entwined devoted about their handsome, man!./ son, who had reached the state of free manhood but two orthree months ago. / The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church at4o’cloek of hi on da .V. f '-om which a large coneoun* ac companiwl the bier to the cemetery. As “ token of respect to the deceased and sympathy for the bereaved family,' every store in town closed its doors from 3 to a o’clock, GRIP’S CARNAGE. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews returned from South Carolina hist night accompanied by two of the orphaned- children of the lute Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Cartledge, and bearing one of the saddest stories it lias ever been our office to repeat. About two weeks before Christmas Mrs. Mathews’s brother-in-law, Nlr. S. C. Car¬ tledge, was taken ill with the grip, and died from its effects on Thursday, Dec. 21, at his home in Batesburg, leaving a wife and seven children. In attendance at his bedside and at his burial were his two brothers, Jerry and James, the lat¬ ter a physician. About six days later Mr. Jerry Cart ledge died at his homein Johnston, leav¬ ing a wife and one child, and only a day or so later Mrs. Cartledge followed her husband. About the same time Dr. Jas. Cartledge died at his home in Greenwood, in the midst of physical strength, his throat swelling so much as to choke him to death. Jarr-** , About one week afterward, or on Mathew,#*s ——‘■^~4-VU,*dge. siSpefy followed band, making the fifth death in the lAnii }y within fifteen days. NOT SO BAD A slight “smash-up” in Mr. AveritVs mill Tuesday morning has necessitated his buying a new engine and putting himself in a position to avoid future serious hindrances from slight accidents, The crank-pins of his engine gave way, when the shaft shot endwise into the steam-chest, completely wrecking it. Mr. Averitt took the train for Augusta that afternoon, with a view to getting a new steam- he chest. He did not find what wanted in that line, but he pur¬ chased a new 30-horse-pmver en¬ gine, which came in this evening, and will be in place, ready to go to sawing again, by Saturday morn mg. The new engine is one that was on exhibition at the Augusta fair, the. manufacture of the Erie Engine Works, and Mr. Averitt re¬ gards his liitle accident as a small slice of good luck. He will have hig old enjrine repaired, and keep it on hand to fall back on next time. A CARD OF THANKS. j n our g rea t bereavement weean no t forget dear and good friends who so kindly and anxiously ad ministered and helped us to wait on our dear boy, Russie ; but with a jj £| le care and attention of our physicians, J ’ Drs.

Wp feel that Russie had ev¬ ery attention by all, parents, rela¬ tives and friends, and if he had an enemy we have yet to hear of it. Children and friends, accept our heartfelt thanks for every kind¬ ness. W. N. Hall, Matt Hall. WANTED—A good sawyer, Must be a sober man. No other need apply. D. P. Averitt. ER out of town for COME ’I'O THE TJ.VEH- Vo. 33. THEY “rXkE”THE COMMITTEE. We, the undersigned citizens jeing fa¬ miliar vvitif the location and needs of the “Pauper/lome” to/dissnfc of Bulloch county, beg leave from the /ommittee of last grwid jury, Messrs. Janes Bland and A. 8ci/boro, jr,, relative o recent im¬ provements made thereon by the Ordi¬ nary/ 1ml/ We think, in the tint place, in be of humanity and tie unfortunate creatures who may be consigned to said h/nio, that the improvement thereon is inestimable. Those who have seen the ponio know that there «re only two doors of about three feet in width to a ten-foot>. ui.de, and in the summer t ime the heat is anything but pleasant in this aisle and in the building. The Ordinary only put t he addition to the house after careful in¬ spection and consideration of its need. This intelligent committee of two say that the work on said building is only worth #2C»; that is more than the work cost. If they claim that the whole, work and material, is only worth then we can show' that the material and hauling it to the home cost more than that sum. When this intelligent committee of two say that the improvement is an injury to the building, then we invite every citizen of Bulloch county to go and inspect the same, and if nine out of every ten don’t say it is an advanlage to the building and inmates, then we will say our judg¬ ment is defective. This intelligent committee of two say that this work was nol received by a. committee as the law directs. Will this intelligent committee point out that law? Now, in conclusion, we think that Messrs. Bland and Scarboro only wanted a little notoriety, and let us hope they got it. Why not this sagacious committee of two take upon themselves the authority of Lycurgus of ancient Greece, and say where all our money shall go? Perhaps if some phrenologist was to pass this way hunting wisdom bumps, our two committeemen might be awarded a prize! As it is, we feel sure that, from the great “gobs” of wisdom that possess one of these men, and, as he is ever ready to serve his less fortunate neighbors with his wisdom and pen, ere long he will called ou to dictate another court »|1 w n Alien, ils^n, Jones,/ W Cui/er J. Si. <MiiF, G. W. Waters, Z. T. DeLoach, M. C. Barnes, J.A.Branncn,sr., Charles Nlikle, Fred Hegmann, J. T. Allen. And, in addition to the above, the com¬ mitteemen, Messrs. Bland and Scarboro, say they found in the poor house a great “booger” in the shape of a boy picking fifty pounds of cotton a day, and not wearing fine clothes. If be ever picked’ over twenty-five pounds of cotton in a day, it was not here; and he had as good clothes on that day as 1 did. He had on a patched shirt; and my whole suit was patched. The boy says he did not tell Messrs. Bland and Scarboro that he pick¬ ed the cotton, nor that he had no other clothes. Now, if these gentlemeu wished to do the fair thing, why did they not ask about the boy’s clothes? He had three suits at that time; two of them are here yet. Mr. Bland examined my bond before coming here, to see what his duty was. I think the foreman of the grand jury had 1 letter have examined him to se e was fit for a committeeman, for he did uot appear to know but little, and all he did was behind the door, for he did not look after the public interest. At last April court, the whole grand jury came out and they made the closest and examination that has ever been made. They took this same boy from head to foot, and were satisfied with his treat¬ ment. I think as Mr. Bland is so sympa¬ thetic he had better give part of his mon¬ ey to the poor, and subscribe less for the removal of the court house. The Ordinary has been to the “Home” several times, has dined there, and aIwayg expressed himself as well satisfied with fare the inmates of the lioine were getting. So, when you eonae again, call on me and I will show you the clothes, and other things. Very truly. J. A. Waters. SEE HERE! While side talk has been so thick for the past two weeks, atoout schools, I have been closed in si¬ lence on account of neuralgia. I hope I am not too late. I will teach a free school, and furnish a comfortable room with a fire place. It seems that some do not know my condition; I need work. Those young girls here asking for schools are free; I am tied. Kind¬ ly consider this application and give me some of the little ones off this town. Agnes Wilki>$on\
