On Friday lust Messrs. Calboua &
Co. missed some bacon from their
warehouse, and the evidence derived
from an investigation pointed to Ned
Johnson and Jack Cook, two colored
boys employed at the warehouse, as
the guilty patties. Jack said that Ned
stole the meat and Ned said Jack
stole it, hence Mr. Calhoun, being left
in doubt, proposed to the boys that
they go iuto cahoot and receive twen¬
ty-five lashes on the naked hide, or
else one turn States evidence and con¬
vict the other. On their refusing fo
accept this proposition, they were
carried before Justice Eeckom on Sat¬
urday for trial, when they where placed
under a bond of fifty dollars each for
their appearance at the next term of
the County Court. We are inclined
to believe that Mr. Calhoun’s idea of
a compromise a good one, and think
Jack and Ned woujd have been the
better off to accept of it.

We learn from Mr. Putnam, our
butcher, that some of our citizens com¬
plain at having to pay six cents per
pound for beef steak. We all
beef furnished us regularly on certain
days, and every oae wants choice
but no reasonable man cau expect
butcher to buy and pay for beeves,
butcher them and bring them to town
and sell the choicest pieces for
than six cents p r pound. Citizens of
neighboring towns, where there is not
much greater demand than here,
8 cents for their beef.
We had the pleasure of
Judge W. W. Fleming, of the Early
County News, in our office last Mon.
day. He came over to meet h : s niece,
Mrs. G. P. Barkesdale, instructress in
literature and fine arts in the
(Ga.) Female College. Her rare tal¬
ents and accomplishments has made
her name familiar to most readers in
Georgia. We can but feel a degree
of pride at the encomiums passed on
one of Southwest Georgia’s fair daugh¬
ters .
It becomes our painful duty this week
to aDuouuce the death oi a good woman,
Mrs. Susan Beckom, mother of Messrs.
S. G. and W. A. Beckom, of this
county, which occured at the home of
Mr. Josh Hays, near ZHuffton, on Sat¬
urday, the Gth inst. She was a most
excellent lady and a devoted Christian,
which satisfies her friends that she
has gone to dwell with the Master she
«o earnestly served on this earth.

Let all who have children to educate re¬
member the opening of Prof. Smith’s
school on next Monday, and give him
the rneouragment and patronage he so
much deserves. A good school 13 of
great importance to our little town,
and now that we have a teacher whose
comoetency is questioned by none let
us secure him as a stay among ns by
supporting him. His terms are mod¬
erate.
We neglected last week to call at¬
tention to the advertisement of J. W.
Calhoun & Co , which will be found in
another column. Cotton carried to
their warehouse will be carefully
weighed and marked. They give all
business their personal attention, and
when cotton is left to their disposal is
handled to the best advantage of the
owner.
We regret to learn of tlie death
of Mr. J. R. M. Saunders, which oc¬
cured at his home in Clay county, on
Saturday last. It is supposed by some
that a conjebtive chill was the cause
of his death, but others state that it is
thought that he was poisoned, as his
body showed 6igns of such. Time
will develop the facts.
Dr. Ewell paid Fort Gaines a visit
last Sunday. He reports that town on
a boom, with a cumber of fine brick
store houses completed and several in
course of construction. We think
from his praise of the town and peo
pie, absence has not greatly weakened
his attachment for his old home.
Some nefarious scoundrel, in his idle
prowling last Saturday night, tore
down five or six panels of fence for
Mr. Sebron .Sheffield, turning the cat-
tie in upon his crop. No serious
damage was done, however, before the
W ork of the devil was discovered and
the fencing replaced.

plain that they do not receive the Ad-

The Spot Where Jackson Fell.
The sun Is over head as the lazy
horses, white with lather, jog nloug
u level road between two com fields
and come ouee more to where trees
grow thickly on either side. Thus
moving in the midst of timber for some¬
where near a half mile we come to u
big stone planted steadfastly by the
roadside. Cato is noddiog and I hit
him a smart crack with n soldier’s skull
which Farmer Oliver gave me and the
poiuts of which I had been sludyiug
since we left Hooker’s shattered head¬
quarters behind. Cuto gave a grunt
and a jerk and mumbling, ‘I'se mos’
asleep,’ spied the stone. Then it
was amusing to see the change come
over the darkey’s dull expanco of jaw
and lip. He liftid his eyebrows,
ah owe 5 his teeth and said with anima¬
tion:
‘Bress my foul, suh, us am right
heab.’
‘What’ ‘lu ah?’ What’s that stone
for?’
Doan yo’ kuo,’suh, wlmtdat ar’ mar¬
kable stone am ’teudid to memorate?’
‘No, what is it?’
‘Bar’s whar Genuul Stonewall was
kilt. Mars Tucker Lacey, de preacher
up dur by the wilderness stor\ be
dat ar stone dar, sab.’
I remembered that Jackson clung
life for several days after lie was wound
ed, but by further questioning I
that this was the spot where the bleed¬
ing warrior fell from liis horse in
very hour of his crowniug triumph.
The stone is a rough block of
flint quarried, here in the wilderness
■It stands three feet ten inches high,
aud is two feet ten inches in breadth.
Its surface shows dents and scars
wherefrom loving pilgrims have
scaled bits of relics, and all around are
smaller pieces of hard rock that have
been used as hammers with which to
crack it. Immediately around the
stone the ground is in small under¬
growth, huckleberry bushes, chinea-
pins and the like, but at a few feet it
is encompassed by pines and oaks of
large growth.— Wilderness Correspon¬

Worms Destroyed at Three Cents an
Acre
The method of guarding against the
ravages of cotton and b >11 worms by
keeping lamps burning in the fields, fO
to attract the mo'hs,hiS baen fre¬
quently employed. As there are
many localities in the South wlie'e
moths miy now at any time sudden¬
ly appear, planters will do Well to bear
ill mind llie details of the method, as
given in the Austin (Texas) Triumph
by Mr.J. D. Austin, of Fanning eotiu-
ty. Last year Mr. Austin distributed
thirteen bottles filled with coal oil,each
supplied with a lamp-wick, attached to
ns many sticks, higher than the grow¬
ing cotton, the sticks being placed at
a suitable distances from each other,
in a forty acre field. At dusk lie light¬
ed the lamps. The cotton moths, at¬
tracted by the lights, buzzed about them
instead of disposing their eggs on the
cotton bolls. The next morning the
ground was strewn about the lamp
sticks with wingless moths. The
lamps Were used as long as it was
deemed necessary. The result was
that a bale of cotton to the acre was
produced, at an extra c03t of three
cents her acre. On a twenty five acre
field, on the same plautatiou, where
no lights were used, the crops were de-
stoyed by the boll-worm.
The following order was sent by a
farmer to a merchant in Troy, Ala., a
few days ago; Wiley & Murphey be thy
name thy kingdom of provisions come
come, tby will be done on my farm as
it is at your store, give us this day our
daily bread, for give us our trespass
ou your barn as we forgive those who
trespass upon ours, lead us cot iuto
t em Ptation but deliver us from mort¬
gages and our teams from hungriness,
for thine shall be the crop, the mules
and land for ever and ever if we dou’t
pay. Amen. If this is good for three
hundred pouudsof bacon,fling it in the
waggon.
A while back the darkies had a big
revival at Crawford, and one of the
mourners near the alter got pretty
demonstrative. At this interval Tom
Pape,who was sitting at the rear end
of the church, felt the spirit working
on him,and springing up three bounds
carried him to the pulpit, where he lit
astraddle an old sister’s back, and be
rode the irate dame nearly around the
room before he could be pulled off.
That revival came near breaking up
in a first class row. Tom explained
“dathejes wanted to show dem un¬
converted niggers how to ‘preciate re¬
ligion’’
