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. The River and Harbor appropriation Bill h a s—passed!

From this date (June 20), ferriage at the Dublin Ferry will be free to all. * 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. consent to quit tho scene of such a do- lightful entertainment* No small part of tho enjoyableness of the occasion avhs duo the rare skill and taste of Mr. and Mrs. A.

The 4th of July—Pretty girls—Good supper—Lemonade and wine— Musical Entertainment— A morning stroll— A ride in the afternoon—Tlic Hop., Wrigiitsville Ga.., July 6th 1878. 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 Outlaw.
