The people of our town should take

is one of the very best newspaper
men in this State and we can assure

A white lady near the Glade has
been bound over to our next term

The Rain-.
On last Thursday ourcounty was
visited by one of the heaviest
storms of rain and winds we have
witnessed for a long time. The
rain commenced about 1 o’clock at
night, clock and lasted until about 6
o in the morning. Fences,
were washed away, ana the mills
and dams suffered to no little ex¬
tent. The water-gin of Mr. S. R.
Ward, the house, and several bales
of packed and seed cotton were car¬
ried away, and a fine gin and con¬
denser ruined. At Mr. Henry Jen
ning’s Mill,the abutments of tne dam
were carried off, and otherwise dam¬
aged, we suppose to the extent of a
hundred or so of dollars. We also
learn that the dam at Mr. Joe Elders
Mill, was also carried away together
with his water wheel. Corn was
blown down, and in many places,
the low-ground corn stands a fair
showing of being ruined, cotton
that was- open in the fields has been
knocked out and the probality is, it
will be lost. The streams are still
considerably bridges have swollen, and many
been damaged, to
what extent we are unable to say.
We hope it may be some time be¬
fore we are again visited by such
another rain at least.
Died.
On Friday afternoon, the 25th of
September ‘
1880, little Lottie
Richardson aged three years and
eight months, youngest daughter of
Dr. D. R. and Mrs. J.I. Richardson
of this place.
“There is a reaper whose name is
And Death,
with his sickle keen,
He cuts down the bearded grain
And at a breath,
the flowers that grow be¬
tween.”
Ah! and never sweeter, fairer
blossom feel before the remorseless
blade than dear little Lottie.
Bright and intelligent beyond her
years,her sweet prattle and sunny
smile made the music and the light
of her happy home, and the bright
young head with its wealth of soft
house, light curls, flashing in and out of the
now among her little play¬
things, and again among the flowers
and butterflies, seemed indeed
fairer than the sunbeams. How
little we dreamed, as a few days
ago we watched her at play that
all that bright beauty would soon
lie cold in death. But comfort your¬
selves, you, to whom she was dearest,
with the thought that the brightness
shall remain forever undimmed by
human sorrow or sin. Early lost,
early saved. Lend an ear to the
voice which speaking to your inner
consciousness says:
“Lulled in my faithful bosom I
bear her far away,
Where there is no sin, nor an¬
guish, nor sorrow, nor decay ;
And mine a boon more glorious
than all your gifts shall be,
Lo! I crown her happy spirit
with immortality.”
Remember too, it was the Saviour
of the Mforld who tenderly mid:
“Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of Heaven.”
A Friend.
Watkinsville Sept. 27th 1880.
“Alas! for Love, if thou wert nil,
And nought beyond, O, Death I”
Again the stroke has fallen, and
another lovely victim sleeps in
death. Scarcely had ihe grave
closed o’er dear little Lottie before
Lizzie too was taken. Patient little
sufferer shall we grieve that thou
art atrest with God? O what com¬
fort to the fond parents and affec¬
tionate brother and sister, to know
that she early gave heed to the com¬
mand : “Remember thy Creator in
the days of thy youththat she
first sought the kingdom of God.
Child ns she was hers was a bright
conversion, and her family and
friends believed her a sincere little
Christian. So passed away, after
much suffering, Lizzie Richardson
in her tenth year, a devoted sister
and a dutiful child. To the doubly
bereaved Mother we extend our
heart felt sympathy and commend
her to that God who gathereth
the lambs in bis bosotr.
“O joyous birds attune your notes
To saddest, softest measure;
O flowers bloom sweetly o’er the spot
Where lies her buried treasure,
With pale hands folded on iier
breast
In dreamless beauty sleeping,
While stars like holy Angels eyes
Their watch above are keeping.”
