might have proved serious. He
carried his family on a fishing
frolic to Roberts’s mill in the af¬
ternoon, and, in walking across the
run on a foot-log with one of his
children in his arms, lost his foot¬
ing and both would have gone in¬
to the water had Mr. Foss not
been quick enough to catch to the
log, where he held on with one
hand till the child was rescued
from the other. The water at the
place was about fifteen feet deep,
and, the current being very swift,
injury might have resulted had
they fallen in.

The Kell Rifles Inspected.
Under instructions f;om the Ad¬
jutant-General, Lt. T. J. Smith, of
the Republican Blues,of Savannah,
came up yesterday and inspected
the Kell Rifles.
The .boys were out in their new
uniforms about 37 or 38 strong,
and we eould see that Lt. Smith
was pleased with their general ap¬
pearance. The only objection to
dress was the style of collar some
of the men wore; their shoes, caps,
cuffs, gloves, etc., were all right.
The officers wore coats handsomely
braided back and front, with sword
slit in left side. This is a new
feature in dress regulations. Be¬
sides the shoulder straps, there was
braided in silver on the collar,
“1 Ga.” and on caps braided in gold
were crossed rifles, and in silver
the figure “1.”
Our boys arecertainly up in dress
regulations, but we are sorry we
can’t say so much as to drill. The
men were somewhat embarrassed
at the beginning, but this was soon
overcome by words of encourage¬
ment from Lt. Smith, after which
the men did better. They now
say that they know what is before
them and intend to get down to
drill in earnest.
The command found Lt. Smith
to be a clever gentleman, a strict
disciplinarian, and a well-drilled
officer, and expressed a hope that he
would return during the summer
and spend some time with them;
and we can assure him that he will
find no better place or people in
Georgia than here.
The Lieutenant was verv unwell
V
while here, but not too much so to
give the boys a good shaking-up.
StatesbQro and Bulloch county
should be, and no doubt are, proud
of the Kelis, and with the set de¬
termination of men and officers,
our people need not be alarmed
the future of this command.
The inspector did not say what
his report would be, but we take
that it will not be long before
onets are bristling on the streets
of Statesboro.

every body they met that the an*

and by dark there were a hundred
people at the Harris house anxious
to see the bride. Teams went from
the stable to convey the bridal
party from their place of hiding.
