We suppose the dam was erected where the present site of the Eagle Factory dam now Is: "The year 1839 is remembered by old people os a remarkably dry year. Cap? Gamage, of Talbotton, told a crowd of gentlemen the other day, when speaking of the weather, that during that year he played marbles In the bed of the Chatta hoochee river. He said that thero was a small stream running near the opposite bank.from whoro he lived, and he and his young friends went over there every day and dammed it with sand. He kept this up for three week.” Marriage Last Night. Last night St. Luke Methodist Church was crowded tolwitness the marriage of Mr.,J. E. Deaton to Miss Mollie Moyer. The ceremony was performed In an im pressive manner by Rev. R. J. Corley. The attendants were: Mr. W. R. Wood and Miss Annie Phelps, Mr. Chas. Meyer and Miss Ella Gammoll. The bride Is one of the fairest of Colum bus' daughters, and the] groom one of our rising young merchants--a membor of the firm of L. D. Deaton & Son. In common with their many friends we hope for them the brlghest and happiest future. The church altar was decorated with flowers. Professor Chase presided at the organ. •aS Accident In Marlon Cnunljr, Quiet Retreat, Nov. 6,1876. Editor Timet: A dangerous occurrence took place last Staturday (4th Instant) In the accidental shooting of Master Arthur Drane, a son of Mrs. W. A. Drane, who Ives about five and a half miles north of east of Buena Vista. Master Arthur, about 15 years old, with his brother, Mr. Willie Mathews, and a negro man, left home, in the morning, for a days hunting sport In the afternoon, when about six miles from home, Mr. Mathews handed his gun to the negro to carry while he chewed some sugar cane. A short time thereafter, while crossing a branch, Mathews leading, after whom came'Arthur Drane, followed by the negro carrying two guns, one of which was sus pended by his side In the hand with the muzzle forward. A bush caught the ham mer of the suspending gun and produced a discharge, which poured a very large load of No. 6 shot In the right hip, back and arm of Arthur Drane, as he walked about ten feet ahead. The discharged gun recoiled from the hand of the negro who threw down his own gun and rushed to the wounded youth who exclaimed, "I am shot.” In the excitement he took young Drane In his arms and started for home with him. It was with some diffi culty the Buffering youth induced the ne gro to lay him down. Through the kind ness of Mrs. O.J. Cottle, a team and wag on containing a bed, was soon at the place to take the wounded youth to his mother. We learn the wound, though painful, is not dangerous, and that the unfortunate youth Is doing very well. Idiom.

CUTTING and REPAIRING wUI receive strict attention. C. H. Jones. Fartlanliti-s ofthw Killing or Mr. D. VVUt HlftM. In of our paper yesterday, we mentioned the sadoocurrance of Mr. Hines death. Slncolthen wo loom tho following particulars:. Mr Hawes, the slayer, was Marshal of and.after the election told the crowd to do as they pleased, as he felt good over the election. The crowd wore froliclng ond 11 red their pistols In tho air. After a while Mr. Illnes was standing near the court-house' win dow, and broke a pane of glass. Hawes spoke Very sharply to Hines, and drow his pistol on him. The pistol was knock ed up by some ono and discharged with out hurting anyone. They were separ ated, Mr. Illnes friends taking him away The following'evldonce of Mr. Trammell before the coroner’sjjury tells the balance D. G, Trammell sworn says: About 18 o'clock on tho night of the 7th Inst I was standing south of tho court-house door, and saw D. 0. Illnes and Mr. Black; it was In Lumpkin, Stewart county Ga. They passed on east side of the court-house, go ing towards the south side or town. After they had passed, Mr. Hawes With a pos seo passed on the west side of tho court house, Hawes, after passing witness llawes|rotiirned arid summoned witness to assist In arresting Hines. Going übout half way to C. M. Lowe's store, witness stopped. Hawes saying to witness: “Stop, says If you don’t como along, I will hold you responsible. Witness told him ho would pay a line before he would assist in ar resting him; thought Hawes was drink ing, and thought Hines had giveii him no cause for his arrest; Hawes says you will havo to pay tho flue for I will arrestiHincs, or kill him. Witness heard no remark from Hines to provoke Hawes. Hawes and posse went on to Daniel’s store; witness went to Lowe’s and stopped; Hawes on reaching Daniel's, whore he overtook Hines, says to him, I demand your arrest. Hines says, I will give up—speaking in a mild tone, llawes says, G—d and n you, you have got it to do. Hines says, I give up. Hawes says, I demand your arrest immediately, sir. Hines says, I give up. Hawes says, Strike a match, boys. Some ono struck a match; pistol llrcd Immediately afterwards, and liines fell upon tho steps of Daniel’s store. After the shooting, Hawes or someone struck a match, and Hawes went up to Iliues and says, Fore he is; come up and look; I want you all to see him. Judging from the flash of tho pistol Hawes must have been ton or twelve feet from Hines. Hines was not armed; he showed no re sistance to arrest. Dr. G. B. Battle, being sworn, says: I was present at Hines’ death; examined wound; am satisfied the wound produoed Hines’ death; it was below the left eye, the ball ranging up Into baso of the brain. He saw Hines In front of Daniel’s store, on sidewalk; it was about 5 o’clock on the night of the 7th, In Lumpkin, Ga. Hines lived not over live minutes after being shot; reached him In about two minutes after being shot. Mr. Hines was burled yesterday at his father’s home. We regret veryjmueh to hear of the sad end of DeWitt. He wos as honorable and high toned as could be, brave and gener ous. Brains and Method In Farming. Could talking or writing have availed anything, enough has been said and writ ten long ago to havo depopulated the towns, and established an impassible blockade for bread and meat around the cotton States. Wo do not propose now to waste iuk arguing the point. Our pur pose Is if possiblo, to aid those who are content to stay In the country and work. We believe that farming, properly con ducted, does pay—that its profits are rea sonable and sure, when brain and brawn co-operate cheerfully, intelligently and energetically; but wo believe just as fully that speculative, careless, routlue, uncal culatiug, unscientific farming will not pay, but will, with fearful speed, make bankrupts of those who practice It. Illus trations of the latter proposition abound on every side—those of the formor, whilst far from being so numerous, may be seen In almost every community -a few far mers standing head and shoulders above the unthinking crowd. Ever since the war the land has resounded with complaints of labor; with more justice it should bo lack of brains— brains to plan, brains to calculate, brains to execute—brains to decide what crops will pay—what rest should bo given to the soli, what restitution made for its de pletion by crops, what rotations will pay best, and longost maintain fertility of tho soil—what stock will pay best, and most economical modes of feeding—these and hundreds of other like questions call most loudly for strong, educated, thor oughly-trained brains. Away with tho practice of making tenants or partners of negroes, and delegating to them the di rection and management of our Southern agriculture. What would be thought of a merchant or a contractor who wonld put negroes lu charge of his business? Does farming require less judgment, iess per ception, less tact than buying and selling goods? If the past has been a failure, what must be done to make the futures success? A decision on this point Is not always easily reached. The weather, the kind of crops, the time and manner of plowing, the ma nure used, and Its mode of application, the lack of manure, using too much labor and paying too dearly for it, starting crops a little too late, or by laying by a little too orrly, a doep plowing when it should havo been shallow, rows too wide, too many or too few stals to the acre, good or bad soed. How great the factors that enter Into the problem! Think that any but a careful observer, a close observer, a close calcula tor, a patient and profound thinker can solve it.? Another proposition, palpable to every reflecting man, is that every one’s opera tions should be brought sharply within tho limit of his means. Credit all times is hazardous—during periods of great finan cial disturbance it is almost invariably disastrous. Creditors then become unusu ally clamorous, and property brings but little when forced to sale.—Southern Culti vator. The Old scale*. From Ihe Waco Examiner.J The owner of a cotton farm, who was sadly in need of pickers, approached an old darkey on the public square yesterday and the following dialogue ensued: “Come, Ned, you picked cotton for me last year and I want you again.” “I dunno, massa.’’ “Come along and get into the wagon, I’ve good cotton, and I’ll give you six bits a hundred.” “Well, it ies’ depends on one thing.” “What’s that?” “Is you got dat same old scales ?” “No, a bran new pair.” “Well, dat bein’ the case, I’ll go wid you.” W. F. TIGNEK, Dentist, Randolph .treat, (oppoait* Strapper •) Cclumbn tanl ly] Georgia. FKACiffIENTN. —The election news takes tho place of all other excitement. —Those who have been sitting up with the newspaper men to hear tho latest elec tion news, are distinguished by their “car dinal eye.” —The Radicals are recognized since the tho election by their “navy blue counte nances.” —The weather has assumed a winter shape. Heavy frosts and cold winds are now in order. —The Oity Council met Thursday night. Their doings were unimportant. —Tho bar-room business has thrived for the past week. It will continue a day or two. —What will old country dames do for beer this year. The persimmon crop is short and the locust trees are not so full as they should be. —Miss Augusta J. Evans has madesloo,- 000 by her pen. Wlmt other American writer has done ho well ? —ln those days of fashion worship It Is refreshing to meet a woman with not a speck of cardinal red on her lovely form. —Tho red snapper Is the most fashiona blo fish. —Lots of hats have been lost and won on the election. Tho question is when shall they buy them. —Betting on elections has become a nui sance. Every man whom we meet now-a days wants to bet something on tho eloo tectlon—past, present or future. —Experience is u hard school, but it gives a thorough education. —A Northern exchange says that “not ono Southerner in a hundred lias a hand some chin." We would reply to this state ment by saying that we never yet have seen a Yanlceo but what had entirely too much. —The fall sausages are cardinal red, and havo links shorter thun thoso of tho spring style. What a splendid child! Wouldn’t he look well under one of LeGrand Wright's hats? By tho way, Lo Grand has a beau tiful stock of Childrens’ Hats. There may be some doubdo ast who is elected President, but it is an undisputed feact that LeGrand Wright has the most elegant stock of hats in Columbus. Capital Note*. The Democrats In Fulton went for the Rads, and spiked-tailed Billy Markham In style. He was overwhelmingly defeat ed The Deputy United States Marshals voted Democratic, and did nothing else. The remains of Fletcher Tolbert wore interred Wednesday. His funeral and the sermon was an impressive one. The Atlanta Times Is publishing one of tho best papers In the State. They have not much display, but they are accurate and reliable. Tho report was spread that Wiley Red ding was to be a deputy marshal In At lanta on election day, and one-half of the force were taken sick. Tho Atlanta Times gives a graphic ac count of tho election In that city. Atlanta went 2,700 Democratic majority. "A Jew" publishes a card in the Consti tution refuting the slander that the peo ple of the.,f nationality would support Markham. He rather thinks that Mark ham didn't get a single voto from tho whole Jowlsh population of Atlanta. There are two things that stir Atlanta up from its depths—one is a circus and the other a Presidential election. Atlanta oats more candy than any city in the State, and the most of that eaten by our neighbors comes from Atlanta fac tories. Go to the Grand Central Hotel, New York.

In addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will e.ect new State governments.
