Opening ol‘tlio Fall Flfflfts.
On last Monday afternoon, Webb
Wyatt and n stranger in toivn named
Thompson got into a long and heated
discussion, on the porch of, Scarbor
ough's bar, abont their skill as car
penters. Finally Thompson chal
lenged Wyatt's ability to cut and lit
a particular kind of brace. Wyatt
said he could cut it; but after ho Ijnd
got the brace cut, Thompson told
him that it was not the kind of brace
he meant—that any blank fool could
cut such a brace as that. Upon this.
Wyatt asked him if he meant to call
him a fool. Thompson replied in
the negative, and begged Wyatt’s
pardon. Wyatt then told him if he
willed, him a fool ho would slap him.
Thompson stepped out and told
Wyatt to try it, or go with him out
side the Corporation, and ho would
show him what ho could do for him.
Wyatt declined a fair fight, but asked
him again and again if lie meant to.
call him a fool. The third time the
question was put, Thompson said
yes. Hereupon Wyatt walked- into
the house. Thompson, not suspect
ing anything, walked ofE down the
street, when Wyatt came out and,
with a stick that ho held in his hand,
struck Thompson on the head from
behind boforo he discovered him.
Thompson ran off crying, “that is
uot fair!" Wyatt chased him, and
kept striking till ho got him down
and continued to boat him till
stopped by Mr. John Pndgct. By
this time the town marshal, J. W.
Wriglit, was on the ground. lie
arrested Thompson aiid clapped him
in the Guard House at once, and an
hour biter brought him before the
Mayor charged with fighting and
disorderly, conduct! Wyatt was re
quested to appear before the court
and the same charge preferred against
him.
Judge Wolfe was Mayor protoin. He
remarked in the opening of the trial
that lie did not. want to hoar many
witnesses,—that it was near supper,
time After the above evidence was
given, the Judge said as it was a sort
of drunken ro\T, and both parties
equally to blame, ho- would dkolnugw
them both without a fine.
The people throughout the county are
strongly impressed with the belief that the
Barbecue and Basket Dinner on the 8d day
of October next, Is to be the biggest tiling
of the kind ever known in this part of tlic
country. *
We were glad to see the Rev. Burrol 8
Kea of Berrien county in our office on last
Monday, lie is in ill health, and is spen
ding a few weeks of rest from Ills ministerial
labors with his friends* and relatives in
Laurens and Emanuel counties, in tlic hope
of regaining bis health. May he soon be
restored to his health and to his flock.
A daughter of Mr. Lake of this county
was suddenly taken on last Friday evening
by fainting rind falling in the yard. She
lias been very low ever since at short inter
vals. On Sunday afternoon she is repor
ted to have fainted at least a hundred times.
Dr. Hightower has been almost in con
stant attendance, but thinks her case noarly
hopeless. v
We present our renders this weeek two
excellent articles touching our local pol
itics. Nothing can give a healthy tone to
local politics so much ns a vigorous and
sharp discussion in the local paper. Wc
hope therefore that these vital questions
will be further discussed in the Post. We
feel sure it will be productive of much
good.

lows: On election day, just previous
tojhe opening of two pools, a man
on- horse-hack appeared at each vo
ting' precinct, culled up the colored
voters and addressed them substan
tially as follows: “Fellow citizens: I
come to address you this morning as

the county.
The Incarcerated Women.
In our recent trips to Johnson,
wo find a deep interest manitested
throughout that county in tlio Perry
Money case. It is talked of as much
in Johnson now us it was in Lunrens
a fow weeks ago. And though the
excitement overtheca.se has abated
considerably in this county, the public
arc still anxious to learn of every
now step taken in the matter by the
parties concerned and their attorneys.
While the reports of the Post have
been concise, they lmvo been fully
sufficient for a clear undcrstiuiiiig of
tlio case. And it is our puvposo to
keep, the -.public posted, till the whole
matter is settled.
At present everything is in statu
quo; but ho’w long it will bo so,
remains to be seen. Mr. Edward
Perry’s attorneys inform us that the
women are endeavoring to give bond;
how they arc succeeding wo are una
ble to say. Mr. Conner, attorney
for tlio women informs us that lie
applied .a few days ago for a now
Writ of Habeas Co'rpus before Jndgo
Johnson; but that lie (Jndgo Joliu-
son) on account of ill health and the
approach of his own courts was Re
luctantly compelled to dcclino a hear

To tlio Memory of the Dead.
BliTlIEL Cuuncu, JOlINSON Co., GA.
Aug, 30th, 1878.'
FA. -Post:
Allow mo space iu your columns to
speak of tlio dead.
Life is real, life is'earncst and life
is passing away! Wo are taught- by
tlie word of God that wo all shall
die., What ti-solcum thought! Nev
ertheless, it is surely true. Wo have
no account of any ever ascending to
the mansions above, since some of the
most .ancient patriarchs, who were
fortunate enough to oscapo tho pangs
of death. While wo know death is
a certainty, wo, often forget it in pur
merriment. But, when wo arc called
upon tO'attqnd the the burial of a
relative-or friend, w6 are filled with
thoughts of solemni ty in modi tilt ing
upon our own fate. Who is it that
LtWrWA sCOH n JK7UKx-9J^i*^:cij! a.
friend interred, in the dark, and
damp earth? It matters not how
deep and hitter our loss may bo,
there is nothing left to remind us
they have lived except their graves.'
But how is it with tlio friends and
relatives of tlioso who have been in
terred in the Cemetery at Bethel?
Many, many are tjic dead, who sleep
there, who liavo not a head board (o
designate tlio spot whore they have
been laid. I walked through to eco
who and how many slept in this di
lapidated grave yard;, but to my sur
prise I found but one name inscribed
in tlio whole Cemetery: Elizabeth
Fish. I could not tell whether peas
ants or knights slept there: I think
quite likely they were of the former
class: for I think surcly> if they,
(tlicir friends,) were able, they would
have a stone at their head and feet
with their name inscribed thereon:
Most all here are able-to render la
bor fer tile repairing graves; so that
strangers, as myself, maybe awe to
ascertain with certainty the names of
those who slumber lioro. Some rnay
ask, “why did you not got sonic one
to go as a guide for yon?” Had 1
dono so, I hardly think I would have
been-jmadc much wiser: -.for I doubt
whether the- oldest oitizono could tell-
me whore half tho -doud aro buried—
As for mo, wlum I die, I ask not for
a costly .monument with beautiful
sayings carved thereon, but do put a
stone at my head lVith name thereon.
Yours, “Invita Minerva.”
