Protect Your Property.
A thing that Arlington needs badly
is some kind ot an organiza¬
tion for protection against lira. It is
true that we seldom have a tiro, but
there is no tching when wo will be
visited by the fiery dunes; and when
sueh is our misfortune, if it happens
j to start in the business portion of the
town, woe »e unto that portion i We
need not wait until the town is incor¬
porated. While we cannot furnish
the equipment for a city department,
we can start with less. A friend sug¬
gests that an organization of the citi¬
zens be effected, and by-laws be draft¬
ed and officers elected. Then let a
subscription be taken up from the
citizens generally for the purchase of
a cart, a dozen buckets, a half dozen
axes, a couple of ladders and firemen’s
hooks. Such an organization with
this outfit could render valuable aid at
a tire. Who wall take the first step in
this important matter.

Help the School
The large number of pupils in at¬
tendance at Prof. Smith’s school has
compelled him to call in the services
of his wife to take charge of the pri¬
mary department, and, as she is an
accomplished lady and well capacitated
for the duty, this arrangement will be
gratifying to the patrons of the school.
The Professor says the attendance
now is larger than he expected and is
still increasing. He is badly in need
of more room, more desks and other
improvements. He has already ex¬
pended some money out of his own
pocket for repairs, hut cannot afford
to make all necessary improvements
without the assistance of our citizens.
Something ought to be done. A small
amount from each of our public spirit-
ed citizens will put the Academy in
good condition. Show your apprecia¬
tion of the Professor’s efforts by giv¬
ing him a larger, better building.
Bringing Down the Wild Geese-
Mr. Win. Rivers informs us that
on Tuesday of last week he killed two
wild geese on his farm, a few miles
from town, known as the Tennilla
place. He says there were two droves
hut one lit about two hours in advance
of the other. He cannot account for
their stopping unless it was from the
excessive ruin on that day’. lie de¬
scribes them as being smaller than the
tame goose; and, though an. old sports¬
man, says he has never known-one
killed in this section before. He kill¬
ed three wild ducks on the same day,
and thinks he could have killed a “cart
load’’ of geese if he had been nearer
to them, as there were about two hun¬
dred in the drove at which he shot.

An Academy for Colored Children.
We have received an interesting
sermon from Rev. G. T. Johnson,col.,
on “Regeneration by the Blood of
Jesus,” but want of space prevents
our publishing it. He informs us that
the colored people of this section con¬
template the erection of an academy
for colored children, and thinks that
it will probably be located at Arling¬
ton. Some of the money has already
been made up, and, with the proper
effort on the part of the ministers, he
is of the opinion that the amount
necessary can be easily raised.

The down through .freight train
from Atlanta to Macon Saturday night
met with a bad accident near Smarr’s
station, twenty miles north of Macon.
The train had sixteen loaded freight
cars, two of tho ears containing mules.
As it was nearing Smarrs, going down
grade, the traiu became detached near
its centre. The engineer saw it and
tried to blow on brakes, but did not
have on steam enough, it being a
dreadful cold and windy night, so tho
cars collided and broko every bumper
on the train and tore ono car contain¬
ing mules to splinters, and the mules
escaped and had not been captured
