Keen has sold out his stock to Mr. John Shaw. Mr. Keen will still keep the post office. Judge Haynes went to Sandersville last Tuesday and traded for one of Mr. Reufroe’s top buggies. Heavy rains on last Tuesday week up the river put the Oconee in good \ boating condition at this point.

R. B. G. Walteks. Rev. T. C. Boykin, State Sunday school Evangelist, spout last Friday night in Dublin on his way from Dodge to Wilkinson county, He prt ached a most excellent sermon, we learn, at Poplar Springs, in this county, on Saturday. Remember the advantages of trad ing with McVay & Choate. They are on the railroad, they buy by the car load and get better rates, they ship by the car load and get cheaper freights'; and then, the house is thor oughly reliable in every sense. See their card. Mr. O. H. L. Strubiug, of Tooms- boro, was in town last Sunday. He tells of a remarkable % death near Toomsboro on last Thursday night. Old Mr. Shinholster and wife went to bed as usual; and duriug the night some time Mr. Shinholster died, but his wife did not find it out till she rose next morning. Mrs. Nancy Duggau, of Washing ton county, formerly of this county, widow of the late Mr. Archibald Duggan died at her home last, Wednesday.

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 the church till the proposed additions 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. Different Views. New York World. What all the republican party or gans feel about the upshot of the cipher investigation is thus tersely 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. An Alabama farmer, now past eighty, has plowed one of his fields for sixty-two consecutive years. Sheriff’s Office, Laurens County. Feb. 25th 1879.
