Mr. W. H. Hall, Jr., whose new
family grocery store is situated on
Hancock street, between Whilden’s
stable and J. M. Clark's drug store,
presented us the ! other.' 'day with
specimens his of “Prize Beauty,” two
for a nickle cigars; and candor com
pels us to say that we have rarely met
with a better cigar of late and that
considering its price, it is a blessing to
lovers of the weed to have such cigars
on the market.

We are pleased to learn that our
young friend Mr. Charles M. Supple,
a graduate of our college, who has
been teaching for some time in Waco,
Texas, has been appointed by Judge
Evans a member of the County Board
of Examiners. This board consists of
three professors. Mr. Supple took a
high stand in his examination when
he was selected as a teacher in the
public schools and has constantly
grown in favor until he has reached
his present honorable position among
the educators of the country.
Mr. Wm. Rice, of the western part
of this county, showed us yesterday
a sample of sea Island cotton raised
by’ him as an experiment. He said
the stalks produced three times as
much as the average short staple
plant, and an acre would make he be
lieved at least half as much of sea is
land as of short staple cotton. As the
former is worth nearly three times as
much per pound in the market as the
latter, it would seem that it would
pay our farmers to try the cultivation
of the sea island sufficiently to deter
mine whether it would not be the bet
ter crop for them to cultivate. Our
exchanges inform us that a planter
in Schely county which is far away
from the sea coast, made a success
this year of the cultivation of the sea
island variety’.
Death of Miss Rebecca Blood-
worth.—It is with sincere regret that
we have heard of the untimely death
of Miss Rebecca Bloodworth, aged
about seventeen years, a notice of
which is contained in our correspond
ence from Stevens' Pottery. The wri
ter knew her well in her childhood,
and can well understand that the
winsome and affectionate ways which
caused the tendrils of love to bind her
close and fast to the hearts of parents
and kindred, when a child, have
strengthened as she advanced to
young womanhood.' The ways oi
Providence are dark and mysterious
to our view, but they are founded on
infinite wisdom and goodness.
The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chesley
Bloodworth, who have lost the child
of their heart's best affections, and
the brothers and sisters of the deceas
ed all have our sincere sympathy.

Col, Blount in Milledgeville.
t ® tt i ur day last about noon, Col.
Jag. H. Blount, the faithful representa
tive of the 6th District in Congress,
was escorted to the Court House by
the Blount Volunteers. He addressed
a very good audience of the most in
telligent citizens of the county for
perhaps one and a half hours, discuss
ing the most interesting political
topics of the day, but giving his chief
attention to one which is the most im
portant of them all to the Southern
people, we mean the Tariff. We were
pleased to notice that he commanded
the attention and interest of his hear
ers in a marked manner while discuss
ing this intricate and somewhat dry
topic. JLt is amazing that our people
are so indifferent to this subject, in
which their moneyed interests are so
intimately involved. If they could be
made to understand that they pay
their proportionate part of $350,000,-
000 (or thereabouts) to support the
federal government, and that this tax
is taken from their pockets mainly in a
way which they are unconscious of;
that is in causing them to pay about
35 per cent more for clothes, tools, and
in fact all the necessaries of life near
ly, than they would have to pay but
for an iniquitous tariff, they surely
would awake to a sense of the wrongs
they sustain through vicious legisla
tion at Washington. All sensible peo
ple should look into this subject,
which, before the war, was the great
bone of contention between the north
ern people, who were made rich
through a tariff that built up and sus
tained their great manufacturing es
tablishments and covered their sterile
lands with what were almost palaces,
and the people of the south, who in
those days knew that they were rob
bed by what built up their country
men of the north. The Southern
statesmen educated the people to
know the r right and true interests;
now, the press has taken the place of
the great orators of other days, and
too many southern journals are con
trolled by men who have a direct in
terest in manufactories or are paid to
sustain a policy which is a great in
jury to our people.
We have been drawn on to say so
much on this very important subject,
that we must now close by saying 1
that Col. Blount paid a handsome
compliment to the fine volunteer
company which bears his name and
after the close of his address received
and gave many a hearty handshake
with many of his friends who were
present.
~PIED,
At the residence of his father in
this city on Friday last, Henry, the
only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Ailing,
aged about 13 years. He had been
sick two or three weeks with a fever,
which has been a rather prevalent
and dangerous disease for several
weeks past both in this city and
county. The deceased was a most
promising and lovable boy and was
the idol of his parents and sisters, he
being the youngest of the family. We
most sincerely sympathize with those
who have been so sadly bereaved.
The funeral services were held on
Sunday morning at the family resi
dence, the Rev. Donald McQueen of
ficiating. A number of friends were
present, to show their sympathy with
the bereaved family ami the greater
portion of them accompanied the re
mains to our city cemetery, where
they were buried.
