The Dublin Academy* numbers 58
pupils and the cry is still they come.
Col. Ramsay 7 has employed Miss Mary
Wright to assist him, and on Satur
day was endeavoring to make ar
rangements to gpt temporary use of

can be built to the Academy. Miss
Wright is an accomplished lady with
some experience in teaching, and will
doubtless give the m ost perfect satis
faction.
There’s Money in It.
One of the prime wants of Dublin
now is a regular milk wagon. There
arc many families in town who are
entirely deprived of this cheap and
healthful luxury simply because there
is no reliable means of getting it de
livered when wanted. We know
there is a demand for a milk wagon,
and we believe the demand is suffi
cient to warrant some enterprising
man of small capital who is tired of
throwing away his labor on cotton at
seven cents in taking hold of it.
The Cochran Observer tells the
following of our genial friend, and
former fellow-citizen, Mr. J. G
Wright:
“Giles Wright says that while he
was guarding the stairs during the
ball, a certain young man who does
not live a thousand miles from Coch
ran, started up the steps. Giles de
manded his ticket, thereupon he run
his baud into his pocket and says:
‘Ticket, yes, 1 have got the best one
in Cochran ;’ then exhibiting his in
vitation, he read: ‘The pleasure of
your company is respectfully solicit
ed.’ Giles then informed him that
it would take just one extra dollar
to pass up those steps—and he did
not pass.’
Tlie Perry Case Before the Su
preme Court.
On last Wednesday Messrs. Stan
ley, Conner, Hightower and Wylly
went to Atlanta to argue the Perry
case before the Supreme Court—
Wylly and Conner for the women,
Hightower and Stanley against. The
lawyers returned ou Sunday, but the
the decision of the Court will not
reach here till next Saturday. It will
be published in the Post next week.
• The question before the Supreme
Court was whether Judge Pate’s de
cision refusing to release the women
from imprisonment on a writ of ha
beas corpus should be sustained. It
seems to us a matter of little conse
quence whether the Supreme Cour.
•decides with or against Judge Pate.
In either event they will be tried at
the April term of Superior Court as
to whether they got the buried gold
as alleged. If Judge Pate is sustain
ed they will await their trial in jail—
only a few weeks. If Pate’s decision
is it versed they will bo released from
prison, but will have to bo tried all
the same.. But suppose the jury
should say they have the money,
then what? There’s the rub. The
case is a novel one, and seems to
nonplus the lawyers aud judges, to
say nothing of the lay sages.
NOTICE!
We shall make some remarks in
the next issue about the absurd
change in the place of advertising
Sheriff’s sales.
THE LINKED SWEETNESS.
A Splendid Entertainmt by the
Whatley Brothers Monday
Night—A Generous Offer
to the Church.
The Whatley Bros, were greeted
last Monday night by as large an au
dience as the Academy would com
fortably- seat. The entertainment
consisted of instrumental music on
two violins and an organ, aud was
rendered with the skill of genuine
artists. Some old familiar pieces,
such os Sweet Home and the Mock
ing Bird were received with hearty
applause. Vocal music followed,
songs both sentimental and comic.
The best received sentimental
piece,—in fact the song of the even
ing was Grand Fathers Old Clock.
The comic piece which elicited the
loudest applause—and there were
many excellent ones—was Down in
Old Rockingham—the hit at the
preachers being particularly enjoyed.
On the whole the eutertainnient
was a most decided success, and an
unqualified treat to all lovers of good
music.
The gentlemen proffered, at the
close of their entertainment to give
another on Tuesday night aud to
donate the whole of the proceeds to
purchase an organ for the church in
Dublin. Col. Ramsay, in a few
happy remarks inbehalf of the church
accepted and thanked them for the
very kind and liberal offer, and ex
pressed tlie hope that every one who
felt an interest in the church would
come out on Tuesday night and con
tribute twenty-five cents to the good
cause.
Court Week.
Superior Court is being held this
week by Judge Thos. J. Simmons,
of Macon,-Judge Pate being inelli-
gible to sit on the Moye case, for the
trial of which the present adjourned
term was appointed. Judge Sim
mons has but recently been robed in
the judicial ermine, and yet presides
with as much dignity, and handles
the complex machinery of the Court
with as much facility as if he had
sat on the bench a life-time. * His
noble mien together with the firm
ness and decision of character plain
ly visible in his face, told jurors, wit
nesses and lawyers, unmistakubly that
he was born to rule and that the
sooner they all learned to kifow their
places the better. And if there was
any doubt left on any one’s mind, it
was removed when, a few minutes
after the opening of Court, he fined
three or four jurors $4o apiece for
absence.
No case of general interest was
called Monday. Moye’s care was
postponed till Tuesday to give wit
nesses time to reach court. A full
account of this trial will appear in
the Post next week.
Gen. Eli Warren, of Perry; Maj.
E. M. Broils, of Atlanta; Hen. J.
T. Shoe make, of Augusta; Col. J.
A. Thomas, of Cochran; A. F. Da
ley, Esq., of Wright8ville; Solicitor
General Thomas Eason and J. E.
Hicks, Esq., of Mt.Vernon; Hon.
Frank Chambers, of Irwinton are
the visiting attorneys. A short-
handed reporter, a Mr. Kay, Of
of Brumswick is taking down the
evidence;
Judge M. L. Burch, of the East
man Times, is the only visiting rep
resentative of the “art perservative
of arts.”
The attendance on Monday was
light, but was expected to increase
later in the week.
Eastman Times: “Miss Isabella
Lowery, of this county, has just
completed two handsome quilts—one
containing 1784 pieces, and the other
1678. And now, while you talk
about huge quilts and industries
abroad, just bear 1n mind that. Dodge
county is not behind in these mat
ters.
Let Her Roll!
New York Tribune,
While Baynard and Thurman are
industriously engaged in slaughter
ing each other, the Tildeu tidal wave
is gathering volumes as it rolls, as it
veils!
A colored school teacher of Cobb
county has been studying law, and
he will apply for admittance to the
bar at the meeting of- the Suporior
Court of that county. Ho has sifted
the law so thoroughly, there seems
to be little doubt of his admittance.
Jefferson Davis has declined the
invitation to deliver the annual ad
dress at the next commencement of
the Mississippi University, because
of the precarious condition of his
health, aud Senator Gordon has been
selected as the orator in his stead.
New York, February 19.—The
Smith murder trial was brought to
an abrupt termination to-day, owing
to the discovery that one of the ju
rors was insane. It appears that
this man has been greatly affected
evor since the exhibition of tho
bloody clothes on Friday last, and
labored under the hallucination that
he was going to be hung. There is
no doubt that the sight of the cloth
ing and the terrible language used
by the prosecutor toward the accused
widow turned the poor fellow’s mind.
The jury was discharged to-day, and
a new trial ordered for March 3.

What all the republican party or

and beautifully expressed by the
New Bedford Standard: “It is time
that the whole matter should be
dropped.” On the other hand, ns
our extracts elsewhere show, the in
dependent and democratic journals
of tho country are just beginning to
take tho mauter up with animation.

THE
NEW YORK LEDGER
For the New Year, 1879.
Entering upon the new rear resolute for
tlie work of a new volume of the Ledger,
it will be our ambition to make that volume
superior to all Its predecessors.
People who have passed from childhood
to middle ago as renders of the ledger
understand very well our rule to have
every number fresh, origimtl, interestiug
and attractive.
Almost every variety of question is a»-
-swered iu our colnmus.
We engage tho very liest writers of both
Continents without reference to cost.
The most eminent divines, of different
denominations, write regularly for the
Ledger.
All who have had the Ledger heretofore
we are sure will wish to continue it; and .
those who have never taken it before would
speedily subscribe if they knew oue-lialf
the good things in store for our readers
during the coming year.
Terms for 1870—Postage Free.
Single copies, $». per aunum; four
copies, $10, which is $2,50 a copy ; eight
copies, $20, jmtage free. The party who

copy free, Postmasters and others who
get up clubs, in their respective towns, cun
afterward add single copies at $2.50.
No subscriptions tukcu for a Jess period
than one year. When a draft or money-
order can conveniently be sent it wjil be
preferred, ns it will prevent the possibility
of the loss of money by mail, ftoncnilier
that tlie postage on the Ledqer to ail parts
of tlie country will be paid by us, ho that
our Hubscribres will Iiavo no postage to
pay.
