After looking under the house, be¬

for our devil yesterday, we found him
engaged in helping a couple of ladies
hitch a horse to the buggy, at which
task they were detained just one hour.
It is very unpleasant to be always

A new story, by an Atlanta lady,
en itled“Elijah Bathurst s Expiration,

chapters of the story, can be had from

Mobbed.
Zanily Wright, a negro confined in
Early county jail for hog stealing
and serving out a sentence of six
months imprisonment, was shot to
death by a mob of ten or twelve,
men 011 Wednesday night last.
His time of imprisonment, we learn,
lacked only a few days being up, but
he bad made bold throats as to what
lie intended doing with his prosecutors,
the jailor and probably some others
when his time expired, which prompt¬
ed the actions of the mob. The pris¬
oner was not carried any distance but
was shot iu his own cell,while chaiued
to the floor, the inob having gained
possession of the whole building by
compelling the jailor, Mr. Geo. Chip-
stead to give up the keys.
There may be extenuating ciroum.

nothing, but from present information
we cun but characterize it as an out¬

“That Artillery Well."
Those of our citizens who are dis¬
posed to think that the artesian well
business has all died an untimely
death are mistaken. Those who have
heretofore stated that they would pay
so many dollars in order to secure the
innumerable benefits of such an enter¬
prise, may arrange to be called on in
the near future. From a private corres¬
pondence sliowu us by Chas. F.Block¬
er, Esq., we learn that he is negotiate
ing successfully aud satisfactorily for
such an enterprise. The wind work
has already been done. Let us bo
prepared to plank down.

Wo are authorized to announce that
the lady members and friends of the
M. E. Church will give a festival at
Butler’s hall on Friday evening, the
7th prox., for the benefit of that
church. Everything nice will be
served in good style. Everybody in
town aud country are requested to be
there and contribute there mite. The
interest the ladies have taken in the
improvement of our churches is com¬
mendable, and their efforts should be
encouraged by a full attendance at all
of their entertainments.
LEARY ITEMS.

Leary has a marshal.
We will have street lamps soon.
Leary is to have another store soon.
Cotton is coming in slowly but sure
ly—the last.
Mr. Tim. Pace lost one horse and
came near losing another this week.
The indications are that the cotton
pickers will soon be loafers, so to
speak.
Tam Battle is back from Eastman
business college with his diploma and
medal.[
Unfrequent and very light showers
is all the rain wo have had for some
time.
The days are hot aud the nights
seem peculiarly adapted to the affec¬

your Chinaman.
We heard quite an excellent sermon
by Rev. W. L. Curry Sunday after¬
noon at the Methodist church.
Hon. James Keel has returned from
Atlanta, and will soon open a stock of
general merchandise in our town.
At a meeting of the council lust
Monday evening, J. H. Brownlee was

A number of our farmers are pre¬
paring to go West. We venture one
poor crop will move more farmers than
Greely ever did.
Tax collector Gladden was here
Thursday, his appointed day, but his
time was not taxed by the tax payers,
this being his first trip.
The merchants here are beginingto
realize the fact that they have more
goods than their farmer friends have
money or cotton to pay for them with.
Russel Williams, one of a party of
coon hunters, was snake bitten on his
foot last Monday night, while explor¬

his family here and make Leary his
permanent home.

Wo are requested to state that there
will bo a Sunday school jubaleo at
Milford on Wednesday, the 5th of Oc¬

will be a “large sized day” with the
Milfordites, eyerythiug being favora¬

There was some excitement among
the hands at Mr. Boyd’s steam gui aud
grist mill Monday, caused by the ap¬
pearance of quite a blaze 011 the roof
of the gin house. They succeeded in
extinguishing it, however, ere any
considerable damage was done.

Prosperous and Enterprising Mer¬
chants.
Messrs. Editors :
In these days of bitter vicisitudes,
“financial paniesi’’ busted merchants
and the long, long lists of so many in¬
numerable failures of other kinds, it
is really refreshing and relieving to
see a few successful business men to
point out like some fertile oasis in the
barren desert of so many failures in
all tlio avocations of life. It was the
writer’s pleasure, a few days since, to
find iu his travels a merchant who
may justly be placed in the catalouge
of prosperous an d enterprising busi¬
ness men. I refer to Mr. Elijah IS.
Jones, of this county. Mr. Jones com¬
menced his mercantile business at
Jonesville but a few years ago on a
small capital of a few hundred dollars.
He now owns (and they are paid for)
two of the best tilled country stores
there is in all of this country, and is
carrying stocks of goods worth from
$5,000 to $10,000. When his store at
Lawrence’s Cross Ronds receives the
finishing touch, it will be tlio neatest
and best arranged country store rooms
to be found anywhere. Doubtless a
part of Mr. Jones’ success in business
is attributed to the facts: First, that
his stores are located in the midst of
the most reliable and debt paying peo¬
ple iu Georgia. Second, his clover,
accomodating disposition and the low
prices at which he sells goods. Thirdly,
he believes iu a liberal use of
printer’s ink. He is compelled to haul
his goods and send off cotton from ten
to fifteen miles at an extra cost above
railroad towns, but he is nevertheless,
this week, selling clear rib smoked
bacon at 131 cents where it is cut. or
13j by the side or 100 lbs. Best Dixie
bagging @ 11J to Ilf. Coffee from
5 to 8 lbs. to the dollar, rice 13 lbs. to
the dollar, salt too cheap to talk about
(if delivered in Arlington),prints from
5 to 71 cents per yard, and a whole
drove of other goods “too numerous
to mention” at correspondingly low
prices. The public are respectfully
solicited to prove for themselves these
facts, by calling at Jonesville and
Lawrence’s Cross Roads.
