THE LOST CAUSE.
Don’t forgot that preliminary meet
ing of the surviving soldiers of the
Lost Causo, to convene in the court
house on next Saturday, (tho 27th
inst). It is desirable that each dis
trict in the'county should bo repre
sented by at least two or throe gentle
men. This mooting is only intended
to arrange a programme, etc.; never
theless, it is very important that the
meeting should he as full as possible.
It is hoped that G011. Gordon, or
some other man of like fame, can bo
induced to be the orator of the day.
Lot everyone who can, come out and
take an interest in this important
matter.
OLD UNCLE JACK PERRY’S
MONEY.
Tlic buried Shiners about
to come to light.
The arrest on last Monday of Mrs.
Perry, lute Mr. John
Perry, who died last May, lias again
set to wagging all the gossipping
tongues of tho community, and
excited afresh the glittering dreams
of . the parties concerned.
A few- months beforo Mr. Perry
died, be told bis son, Edward Perry,
that he had $4,000 in 'gold buried,
which lie intended for his children
by his first wife—that he had given
his last wife and her only son, Rawls
Perry, what ho had intended for
them—that no oqc knew except him
self and wife where the said $4,000
was buried—that she would inform
him (Edward Perry) after bis (John
Perry’s) death where the gold was
buried. A few days after his fath
er’s death, Edward Perry went over
and asked for the will, and male
somo general inquiries, to sec if tlio
widow would produce the $4,000 of
her own accord. But she mado no
allusion to it whatever.- lie then
asked hor about it directly. She
confessed that her late husband bad
left the money as Edward stated,—
said she had been and dug for it,
but failed to find it.—She adheres
to it, that tho money is somewhere
in the neighborhood of where she dug,
but she can't rccolect exactly where.
On examination it was found that,
she had dug but one hole—that the
bottom of that; hole showed tho im
pression of a little square box—and
two t negroes test ify that they saw-
Mrs. Perry and hor daugter-in-luw
(Rawls’ wife) digging at that, place—
that they took out a box and knock
ed off- one side of it—that one of
thorn went to the house, returned
witlf a dish-pan and put a portion of
tiro contents of the box into tlio pan,
and returned to tho house, taking
with them tho box and the pan.
It was upon the strongfclvqf tho testi
mony of tbeso negroes which was not
obtained till a few days ago, that
Mrs. Perry was arrested and brought
to Dublin on Monday evening. The
trial will come off to-morrow (Fri
day) in tho Ordinary’s Court. Mrs.
Perry’s lawyers think sho is in no dan-
gor, but the attorneys on tlio other
side oxpect to send hor to jail unless
she gives bond for the fortli-coming
of tho money,
The fore-going avo tho facts in tho
case as wo have heard them. Wo take
no stock in cither side of the contro
versy, but merely perform tho duty
of a journalist in giving tho liews.
“I know not how tlio truth may be,
I tell the talc as ’twas told to me.”
OUR ABSCONDING PAINTER.
About six months ago, J. A. Waro
from Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville,
and divers other cities, hung out his
shingle in Dublin ns a painter. He
started under most favorable auspices.
The town needed a good painter, and
Mr. Waro, appearing to be a gentle
manly sort of fellow, received the
patronage and encouragement of all.
For a while ho got along swimming
ly. But he kept soaked all tho time
in about as much whisky as lie could
carry, which made him insimoly sen
sitive to remarks made to or about
him, and often involved him in
quarrels, and on niore than ono occa
sion, brought him to blows with par
ties who had been willing to befriend
him, From this course, it was clear
to’all that his break-down was only a
qnbetron of time, and vory sliqrt time
at that. This Ware had intelligence
enough to see, and unscrupulous cun
ning chough to prepare for. Ho col
lected closely what was due him, let
all bills against him stand over, sent
off liis family with all his effects two
or three days in advance, provoked a
difficulty with Mr. 14. A. Smith,
made a crack-brained speech in be
half of himself beforo tho Mayor’s
court, eluded the marshal, and made
good his escape. Tie left on last Sat
urday, tho day after tlio difficulty
with Mr. Smith, leaving liis whisky
bills, his hoard bill, liis drug hill,
shop rent and other dues all unpaid.
Ho is a regular imposter. Medium
height, spare built, sharp featured,
little or no heard, light hair, grey
eyes, of ready speech. Pass him
round.
HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.
Tho Sumpter Republican publish
es the following:
On Monday morning, tho 8th inst.,
Miss Bell Bryant, an orphan girl,
about thirteen yqfl.i'3old, living with
Dr. W. R. Barker, in Leo county,
was outraged and murjlored by some
fiend while that gentleman was on a
visit to this city. We learn that Mrs.
Barker was sick in bed; midthc girl
went to tho spring betwoni eight and
nine o’clock, which was about half a
mile distant from tho house, for.a
lmcket-of water, whon in the act of
stooping over the spring she was as
sailed by tho inhuman scoundrel,
who hud been lurt<i ng behind a tree
near by awating his victim, seized by
tho throat, and, (it is supposed by
Dr. Barker who examined tho child),
was brutally outraged and choked to
death, then thrust head downward
into tho spring. After awaiting the
return of tho girl fur sveral hours
Mrs. Barker suspecting something
wrong, got up and wont to her fath
er’s, Mr. Peter Laramoro, a half a
mile distant and gavo tho alarm.
Immediately search was mado and
the child was found head downward
in tho spring, which is very narrow
and is three or four feet deep. From
the tracks in tho sand it is certain
that this picco of diabolism was
commitcd by a negro; and wo hear
that bloodhounds have been put on
liis trail for tho purpose of bringing
him to justice.
Death of Col. A. E. Vickers.
Col. A. E. Yickors died of conges*
tiv.o chill oh last Sunday morning
at 9 o’clock. Tims have passed away
throe of Laurens county’s loading
men within ns many weeks,—Mr.
Wm. Attains. I Ton. J. F. Robinson,
ami Col. A. E.-Vickers. Col. Vick
ers was one of the largest pluiitQrs in
Georgia, a big hearted man. a pro
gressive, thorough-going citizen, a
true represent alive of tho old stylo
Southern gentleman. Ilis death is
truly a serious loss to Laurens county.
Ho leaves a wife and two promising
sons.
