Death of a Good Man.
After along-continued illness with
dropsy of the heart,.Mr. AYi^i^Adams
died on hist Friday afternoon in the 69ui
year of his age. Mr. Adams was one of
Laurehs county’s best and most honored
citizens. Ho has for a long time'beon
the chairman of all important political
meetings in thecounty, he was the presi
dent of the Laurens County Agricultu
ral club, once tax-collector, and judge
of the Inferior court for many years.
No man was over more unswerving
in his adlieronco to what he conceived
to be right, or more uncompromisingly
opposed to what he believed to bo wrong.
His loss is a-serious one and will be
felt throughout the county as well as in
his immediate community. He leaves
his fourth wife with one little child, a
number of older children, and all his
fellow citizens to mourn his death.
Local Affairs.
Ten or twelve miles below town,
J. M. Roberts, one day last week,
was engaged digging ih a well fifty
feet deep, when the rope broke just
as a bushel basket of clay reached
the top, dropping the same on the
back of Mr. Roberts’ neck. It hurt
him severely, but not fatally.
H. L. Weaver appearod at Pino
tucky Justice Court last week with
several prisoners whom he had had
arrested for endeavoring (as he al
ledged) to ku klux him. They all
came clear of the charge, the cost,
$29.00, falling on said AVeaver. He
was then arrested himself for hog
stealing, but his prosecutor agreed to
drop it if he would leave the county,
which he did in short order. This
Weaver, we arc glad to say is not re
lated to the large and highly respec
ted family of the same name in the
upper part of this county.
AVe walked with Mr*. S. L. Weaver
on last Thursday evening through
his “Hardaway Corn.” Though it
has fired severely noar the ground,
and is evidently too thick for the
amount of fertilizer used, it is fine
corn. AVe think it will shave 50
bushels per acre pretty closely
Some of it is the finest corn we ever
saw. The spots where the manure
was piled, are much better - and mot
fired at ^ll, showing that it is not
manure thLrfirisreorn, but- the waiift
Qfrit. Mr. W’s whole crop is very
fine. Ho told us ho had just re
ceived a letter from Texas stating
that corn in any quantity could be
engaged at 20 cts a bushel, to be’de
livered when gathered. Still the
tetter went on to say that times in
Texas were hard. Money scarce,
and immigrants pouring in and fin
ding nothing lo do and nothing to
eat.
On last Friday a, short distance
above town Mr. Loyd Montford was
driving with his wife, when for some
reason known only to his muleship,
his mule ran away, breaking the bit
and throwing Mr. M. from the bug
gy with some but not serious injury.
His wife remained in the buggy till
the mule broke out, and was not hurt
Messrs. Jones and Weaver, the
mail carriers on the Eastman and
Toombsboro lines were in our office
on Friday last and asked us to call
.the attention of the road commission
ers to the bad condition of the roads
on their respective routes. Hope the
hint will bo taken.

AVhen Mr. Wesley Kea took up his

Judge Wolfe brought into onr sanctum
on last Saturday a cluster of pumpkin
roots of what wo consider a wonderful
length—one of them 11£ feet. The vine,
to the best of his knowledge, was only
two weeks old. The sizo of the roots at
the largo end is about that of a common
hairpin, tapering to a point. A valuable
lesson may be learned from the extraordi
nary length of these roots, viz., that
such vines as the pumpkin require great
distance to bring them to maturity.

SHOOTING AND STABBING.
ONE MAN KILLED, ANOTHER’S
THROAT CUT, AND TWO
KNOCKED DOWN.
A General Melee
at M. J. Colley’s Store 13 Miles
Above Dublin.
Last Saturday night about dark, while
Mr. Colley and Mr. Chester wore engag
ed in Colley’s store selling whisky eto.,
report reached their ears that Mi*.
Henderson Tucker had bean knocked
down and killed. Mr. Colley remark
ed to Mr. Chester that it would be well
to go out side and 6ce about it. : Mr.
Colley was detained at or near tho door
by some one speaking to him. Mr.
Chester advanced in tho direction of
Mr. Moye who, it was thought strtuck
Tucker, ho was about ten steps #in ad
vance of Colley when he, Colley, saw
Andrew Moye presenting his pistol at
Choster—a report, and Chester put his
hand to his bosom and turned in the
direction of the yard gate. AVhen he
reached the gate ho caught the post
with his hands and remarked: “I am a
dead man,” whereupon he fell dead in
the yard. Mr. Colley advancod toward
Mr. Moye , and upon asking him what
was tho matter he, Moye, presented his
pistol and fired at Colley—was foiled in
his attempt to kill Colley by Willie
Hightower knocking his pistol upward.
At or about this time* Ike Walters
(white) stabbed Jack Webb (colored)—
inflicting a frightful wound in tho neck
near the eorotid artery wounding the
jugular vein, and thereby almost produ
cing instant death, which was warded
off by the timely interference of Dr. H
Hicks who was called in time to arrest
the hemorrhage. Jaok Tucker, another
negro> was knockod down, but retained
enough 6t his senses to make his es
Cape. Tho county coroner’s Inquest
over the dead body of Mr. Chester, ren
dered the following verdict: “Mr. AV.
C. Chester came to his death from a pis
tol shot, hold in tho hands of Mr. An
drew Moye.”
The foregoing facts AVero furnished
us by one of tho coroner’s jury, He
did not give the cause of tho row. But
avo learn from anothor source that Mr.
Walters and .Jack, Tucker got into
quarrel abonta dipper of water, and that
Henderson Tuckor took stock on gen
eral principles. Wo heard that Moye
had no intention of killing Chester—
that ho and Chester wore good friends.
Then again avo l{ida.ir th'is cOntradi-oted,
and that he had made throats that ho in
tended to kill Chester and thon go to
Texas. But we give these only as rn
mors. Colley says ho lcnoAVs no reason
tlia t Moye could have for shooting him
Tho whole affair soms to be veiled some
what in mystery.

Ed. Post:
Tho 4th of July will bo-long remem
bered by the young people of Wrights
villp and Bartow. The morning open
ed with the appearance of rain, and bo
ded an unpleasant day; but about 9 a.
m., tho clouds vanished, and the king
of day, as if in sympathy Avith tho oc
c a si on, came forth with tempered
beams, causing all nature to Avear
lovely smile. At 1 p. m. Mr. John
M. OntlaAv and bride arrived, accompa
nied by hosts of young ladies and gen
tlemon from Bartow and vicinity. Bar
tow may avcII plume herself on her
handsome and winsome young ladies—
none moro beautiful or accomplished in
middle Georgia. I would not be thought
as disparaging tho young ladles nearer
home;—for in point of grace, loveliness
and refinement, I count nono superior
to the girls of Wrightsville.
The party dined ar Mr. 31. A.. Outlaw’s,
In the evening they repaired to 3Ir. A
T. Linder’s to participate in a recepton
given by that gentleman and his accom
plished lady 4 —the bridegroom’s sister.
I will not attempt to describe the viands
of the table which groaned beneath the
luxuries of many climes. But may say,
there Avcre meats, cakes, Avmes etc., in
endless variety, gotten up with tho
most exquisite taste. After tea the
tho party was regaled "frith tho softer
delights of music. Misses Claude and
Rosa Johnson on the piano, and Messrs.
B. F. and E. J. Blackshoar on the vio
lin, discoursed tho most soul-thrilling
strains of the “heaven born art.’* We
hod duets too, that ware perfectly divine
by Mrs. 3IcConncll and Miss Georgia
