The people who think these t imes
more wicked than the past do not
take into account tho millions of
honest men whose integrity makes
rjuo public sensation, but they see dis.
-tinctly the hundreds of eases of fraud
.which are published from one end of
-the continent to ihe other. The fact
ithat such a case makes a great sen¬
sation is proof that honesty is the
.rule and the defaulter is the excep¬
tion.

Shooting Affray in Telfair.
•From the Eastman Times.
We learn through rather indirect
sources of a lively little shooting af¬
fray which occurred at Jacksonville,
Telfair county, on Saturday last.
'We are without particulars, and sine
ply give the affair as we heard it. It
seems that a Justice Court was in
session at the time and place above
stated, and that Col. Milton Frizzelle
.of McRae, was representing some
.ease .which pending Dr. before this tribunal hi
.osted in Henry Smith was inter
some way, and during the
progress of the trial tln-so gentlemen
became involved In a heated dispute
over a witness in the ease. Warm
Words brought about blows-—the lat*
lor gentleman striking the former in
ithe face with his hand. Ruth then
drew pistols, as the Story goes, Col.
Frizzelle shooting Dr. Smith in the
left kand, severing a finger there¬
from and the hull grazing his side.
Dr. Smith did Hot tire, owing to the
interference of by standers.—This
little de-yiafion from judicial deco¬
rum had a tehdettty to Somewhat
disturb further proceedings of the
.court, and nur informant states that
he wins told by parties knowing the
porticulars this of the affair, that matters
at juncture assumed a serious
aspect, and Unit a general fight seem¬
ed imminent.
FROM OUR NEIGHBORS.

The prospects for» tufftip crop
ate by fio means flafteiTff^ ifi this
bailiwick.
Several young Tadie& from IVr’/ghts
ville came down on the train to tin*
end of the road last Sunday after¬
noon.
Wc are informed that a good por¬
tion of the present crop of corn has
rotted in the field. This is to be re¬
gretted.
Several young ladies from John¬
son and Washi> gton counties oxcurt
cd to the river’s bank at this place
last Sunday afternoon. If this thing
is repeated once or twice more our
young men will be found on the
scene also.
From the way in which the work
on the street railroad is being push¬
ed, no one seems to doubt the as¬
sertion that it will be buit within
sixty days. As lias been proven by
their works, the company is mainly
composed of enterprising men, and
the work will continue with unabat¬
ed zeal until the last spike is driven.
Rain has been needed in this sect
tion for some time. The dry weath¬
er has considerably damaged all late
cotton, potatoes, cane, peas, etc. If
it continues, our farmers will soon
have out all their cotton, for only a
small remnant now remains in a great
many places. It is the general ver¬
dict that the cotton crop was cut
short by the present * ❖ dry weather.

The Steamer Laurens has been

low as to be unnavigable.
Mr. C. C. Smith died at his home
in this county on the 3rd inst. His
remains was interred in the cerm-te

(’apt. John ,M. Smith has purchas¬

Mr. J. T. Smith, and has closed the
contract with Mr. W. F. Carnes for
the erection of a pretty cottage there¬
on.
Mr. Mi 11. Carnes, of Jonesboro,
was lu-re this week. Efforts are be¬

for the building of a telegraph line
between this place and Tennille, and
Mr. Carnes is soliciting the position
of operator.
Mtllo, Joseph endeavored Troup, colored, of Saiulers
to address the col¬
ored voters of the county upon the
political issues ot the campaign for
Representative, at the Court House
here on last Saturday afternoon.
There was,however, so much distur¬
bance created by bis audience, that
ii is doubtful whether or not anyone
was able to understand what he was
saying. * *

From the SWainsboro Pine Forest.
If the dry weather continues much
longer fall vegetables will be scarce.
James K. Hines, Esq., paid our
town and county a visit on Thursi
day.
Not withstanding a great deal of
“bug juice,” the election passed off
quietly.
Fifty-seven years ago a sister of
.Mr. W, L. Coleman, and Mr. Jesse
Coleman married in Burke county
and moved to Florida. Up to a few
weeks ago none of the family had
heard a word of her. They had come
to the conclusion that she w-n dead,
as no tidings could be bad of her.
This summer Mr. W. L. Coleman
noticed an inquiry in the “Home and
Farm” for the heirs of Elisha Cole¬
man, and that being the name of his
father, answered the inquiry, and
thus found the whereabouts of his
sister who was living in north Lous
iiina. He went after her and on last
Monday returned with her to his
home, and thus after 87 long years,
met her several brothers, now old,
who when she saw them last, were
small boys, She is a widow, and is
now 82 years oM and %v.ill spend the
remainder of her life With Let' i'cla

Prohibition in the Nouth,
Front the New York Star.
The growth of a sentiment in fa¬
vor of prohibition in the Southein
States is a fact that must soon be
taken into consideration by all inter¬
ested in polities. The Star believes
that the effort to establish in the
South a system that lias failed wher¬
ever tried in the North will eventu¬
ally be abandonded, but the present
indications are that it will be given
a trial. Out of 137 counties in the
State of Georgia 113 have declared
for local option, or as they pictures¬
quely put it down there, have “gone
dry.”
The advocates of the policy in
that Slate now propose to take a
step forward and endeavor to insert
a prohibitory clause in the constitu¬
tion. The leaders of the monomer.',
assure all concerned that their fight
is to bo waged within the ranks of
the Democratic party, and that no
loophole will be afforded to the Re¬
publican party to creep infl& power
through the agitation of the question
This will greatly shock the northern
organs of that party, but reasonable
men will easily comprehend the sit¬
uation. Georgia has felt Republican
rule, as it was shown at the South,
and its people will submit to any¬
thing lather than assist in the re¬
turn of a system ol papaoity organ¬
ized by white adventurers and sup¬
ported by negro votes. Republican
rule means one tiling to the North
and a very different, thing to the
South, and nothing will over induce
the southern people to consent to its
re-establishment thei'e.

Last winter, When the Ohio excur¬
sionists came to Georgia, among
them was a young man by the name
of F. W. Smith. 11c hired to a farm
er in Sumter county for #8 per menth
and worked through the season of
cultivating the crop. lie said he was
worth more, but he wanted to latuil*
iari/.e himself with our means and
methods of farming. H’lien the crop
was “laid by,” Lis time being up
with I). IF. llagley, lu- set about
finding some land upon which to
farm foi himself next year. He rent¬
ed a place from S. W. Smalls. Upon
the portion of the land rented was a
twelve-acre field which a negro ten¬
ant had planted in cotton, and aban¬
doned to grass. Mr. Smith at once
saw that there was something that,
could be saved. With his own hands
he out hay six days from this land
on shares for Mr. Smalls, lie stoppl¬
ed work at the cud of six days on
account of sickness. Mis part, of the
hay amounts to twelve tons, which
is nicely cured and housed, lie has
been offered for it £120 where it is,
a few miles from Amorietis, but de¬
clines i »> sell, as lie knows good hay
is worth more than $80 per ton in
the Anieticus market during the
winter Season. It is an axiom that
only the money saved is the money
made, and it is certainly trie.' that to
save produce on a farm is as impor¬
tant as to make it.

A worthy clergyman, who stands
well with his fellow men, wry fond
of a good story even when the joke
is against himself, told to a friend of
mule the following: While spending
his vacation away from home, it hap¬
pened that ho located near an insane
asylum, and by invitation he preach¬
ed to those of the inmates whose con*
ditiott of mind and body would allow
*
of ... their attending the services,
Among other things he *ohl the
rejjeated story of the women of I m
din. who throw their children into
the sacred waters of the river Ganges
After service, just as he was leaving
tile grounds, otic of the lunatics put
his head out of the window and
shouted, “Roberts! Roberts!” The
minister turned to see what was
wanted, when the man exclaimed,
"Roberts, it is a damn pity
mother did not throw you into the
Ganges when you were a baby!”

It was a Oat.
Atlanta Cor. Macon Telegraph.
Among the f&ssen gets who reach 1
ed Atlanta recently by the through
passenger train of the Atlanta and
Charlotte Air-line* was Mrs Y C Carr,
of Mobile. Mrs. Caff was on her
way home from & visit to some of
the summer resorts in North Caro¬
lina. She registered at the Kimball
and ordered her trunks sent to tier
room. While she was unpacking
one of them for the purpose of pro¬
curing some articles of clothing to
wear during the evening, a cat jump¬
ed out of the trunk and commenced
promenading across the floor in an
apparently self-satisfied and haughty
manner. Mrs. Carr at first was so
much surprised at the appearance of
the cat that she hardly knew what
to think of the matter. As soon as
she could collect her thoughts, how¬
ever, she recognized the cat as one
that was a pet in the hotel in which
she had boarded while at the resort
she had just left. She also remem¬
bered that while she was packing
the trunk for the purpose of return¬
ing home the friendly felii&e was
walking about the room apparently
much interested in what was going
on. Mrs. Carr, in the absence of a
more substantial theory, is satisfied
that while she was packing the trunk
the cat, slipped in and hid away nn>
dor some of the contents of the trunk.
The cat will no doubt find its way
home.
