Fire got into the woods a few

The Farmers’ Monthly.
Tho Southern Farmers’ Monthly
for April has reached our office, more
attractive and interesting than ever.
No words are adequate to tell our
farmers who have not seen it, of the
excellence of this agricultural maga
zine. So we hope when in town they
will call und examine for themselves.
To be subscribed for needs but to be
seen.
Mr. Frank Taylor says he can put.
a sate bridge across the river, at the
Dublin ferry for $3,000. If tho
thing can be done for $5,000 it would
bo well for the county to have it
done. But it strikes us that twice
the latter amount would be required.
If, any one desires to tell “what ho
knows about bridging tho river,” wo
would like to heal from him.
A Sad Affair.
Ou last Saturday, the 22d ultimo,
in Johnson county, James Hutchin
son, a youth of sixteon years, and a
negro boy of about the same age were
examining a self-cockmg pistol, when
It was accidentally discharged, kilting
the white boy instantly. The ball
entered in tho back and passed
through tho heart. The fatal acci
dent is rendered more sad from the
fact that tho lad was an excellent boy
and the only reliance for the support
of his widowed mother, Mrs, Joshua
Hutchinson. The negro boy has
since lost his mind.
Mrs. Wm. Adams came near losing
everything by fire last Monday tnoru-
;. The kitchen roof caught from
the stove and was in a fierce blaze
when discovered. Mr. Webb Wyatt
happened to be present and checked
it; otherwise, as the kitchen was at
tached to the dwelling everything
would have boon destroyed.
The annual celebration of the Sab
bath schools of _ Laurens county, all
douomillations, took place in Dublin
on last Saturday and Sunday. The
Rev. Mr. Lockwood State Sab
bath School Evangelist for tho Meth
odist Church was presont. An ap
pointment was made forex-Governor
Johnson, who was in town, to lecture
on Sunday afternoon, but ho was un
well and did not come out.
Mr. E. J. Tarpley brought into
our office on last Friday some young
Irish potatoes the size of small mar
bles, which lie had accidentally
broken louse from the vino while in
pursuit of a cut worm. We think
this is a good showing—especially
for a beginner who is cultivating his
first garden.
Go to Jones’ and buy ouc of those Safety
Lamps. Superior to any lamp in the mar
ket. If dropped or overturned, will extin
guish itself before reaching the floor.
Can't smoke, don’t flicker, light hriiliunt,
destined to supersede all others. Extin
guished by touching a spring instead of
biowing, gives a light equal to that of the
$8.00 student's lump. Cheap as any other
lamp. Old lamp howls may lie refitted
witli Hie improved burners, wicks aud
chimneys. Call and examine for yourself.

Killed By a Falling Tree.
On last Sunday, Jake Ashley, col
ored, living on tho place of Mr. J.
I. C. Stanley, nine miles above town,
sent his little son out to a neighbor
ing darkey’s after some dishes. As
the little fellow was returning, in
sight of his father, lie was crushed
und terribly mangled by a falling
tree. He seemed to hear tho tree
coming, but in his endoavor to es
cape, he ran immediately under it.
He was killed instautly.
One Mr. Glover was arraigned be
fore the county court last Monday
charged with the orime of beating
a child of Mr. S. W. Swinson. The
oriuio was committed three years ago,
and Glover had been previously in
dicted under the name of Fullford,
but the indictmont was quashed.
This time he hud poorer luck, and
Judge Hayues gave him choice be
tween a $50. fine and six mouths on
tiio chain-gang. An appeal is tajked
New MaiJ Routes for Dublin.
Our efficient post.most.ei’, Mr. I. T.
Keen, informs ns that ho has been
notified by both Col. Blount and
Gon. Cook that three Hew mail routes,
for Dublin have recently been per
manently established by Congress:
one to Tenmllo, via Blucksheur’s
II, Buckeye (Mr. J. L. MarUn’s)
and Irwin’s Cross Ronds; one to
Dawson, in Emanuel county ; one to
Red Bluff, in Montgomery county.
I'ho one toTennille will probably be u
daily mail; the other two, weekly.
Tlioso who sent up a petition
last wook for a route from Dublin to
Tennille will be glad to learn that
their wants have been anticipated.

How Laurens County Seems
Strangers.
On hist Friday Mossrs. Raymond
and McDaniel, the former oanvussing
and writing for a Louisvillo, Ky.,
agricultural journal, the latter
sketching for Frank Leslio’e illus
tinted papers, came into Dublin from
Cochran on foot. They hud sot out
from Louisvillo, going down the
Ohio and Mississippi us low as Vicks
burg, and thence across the States
of Mississippi and Alabama to Eu-
faultt, thence down tho Clmttuhoo
chee to Florida, thence, ^timing
hack, they came up through lower
Georgia, and will continue their
moanderings from this point out by
Miiledgevillc, Macon, Atlanta etc.,
back to Louisville. They speak in
high terms of Laurens as an agricul
tural county, and say that they have
passed over no consecutive thirty
miles of farming land in Goorgin
which will surpass the region between
Dublin and Cochran—except perhaps
in Dougherty county. Mr. McDan
iel had made no sketches since leaving
the railroad. , Wo suggested that he
should have sketched “Vallombrosa,”
the old home of Gov. Troup, by
which ho had passed on Thursday.
Ho replied that ho would hut for tho
fact that ho had sent on so many
similar sketches from along the Mis
sissippi.
THE FIRE.
Mr. B. A. Herndon Burnt Out
On last Thursday morning at 3
o’clock, Mr. Bryant Herndon’s dwell
ing, kitchen and smoke-house, in
the western portion of town, were
destroyed by fire. The kitchen, where
tho tiro originated, was enveloped in
ilatnes and the dwelling in the uct of
taking fire before any momber of the
family awoke. Mr. Herndon, after
rescuing his invalid wife and two
little girls, had time to save but little
else. Almost every artiolo of furni
ture, clothing iyid provisions was
lost. No one came to the rescue in
time to bo of any service. Mr. H.
was assisted only by his wife’s sister,
Miss Kate Murphy, who was on n
visit to the family, w'liou the alarm
was given and tho neighbors reached
the scene of conflagration, a distress
ing picture met their eyes. There
stood tho half-clad husband und
father with his shivering wife and
children watching, with tear-filled
eyes, tho destruction of their little
all, while the mml fiames went leap
ing and laughing to heaven in mock
ery of tho distress they had caused.
Col. Ramsay kindly took tho desti
tute family to his house until Mr.
II. could effect other arrangements.
W. T. Smith generously proffers him
the use of looms in his huge ami
commodious house until he can pro
vide a pormanont homo. A petition
was put.in circulation on Thursday
asking for contributions, wliioh shall
do something toward placing the
destitute filmily on foot again. Some
of our citizens have responded liber
ally, and wo hope no one will fail to
do somothing.
: —7—: *,
Fire got out in tho woods in the
neighborhood of I)r. Haines’s last
Sunday, and only the heroic efforts
of the community prevented wide
spread destruction. The same com
munity kept tho Sabbath in a similar
manner one year and one week before.
‘Three Negro Children Roasted
Alive.
On last Monday evening, Dick
Walker, colored, living on tho place
of Miv*H. C. Walker, seven miles
from town, loft his throe little chil
dren in the house in charge of their
older sister, about twolvo yoars of
age. . Soon afterward the house took
fire and tho girl ran out, leaving the
children in the house where they
wore burned up.
Tribute of Respect.
McRae Lodge, N». 100, F. & A. M.,
met in called comiinmieation »,t Moline,
Gu. on the 15lh day of March, 1870, for
the purpose of paying the last tribute of
respect to John M. McNcel, deceased, wlip
was a member of Laurens Lodge, No. 75.
Tlu* Lodge having been opened in form,
proceeded to the church, where a funeral
oration was delivered hyBro. J. M. Bright,
chaplain of the Lodge, after which the
body of our deeensed brother was consigned
to tiie torn!) with the usual ceremonies of
our order, which were beautifully and
impressively conducted by Bro. C. It.
Armstrong, W. M. of Eastman Lodge?.
After retiring from the grave it was on
motion resolved that the riieinbers of tills
-Lodge ,wear the usuul badge of mourning
for thirty days, aud the undersigned were
appointed aeommitte to prepare some suit
able tribute to the memory of our deceased
brother, and request its publication in tho
Eastman Tinum and the Dublin Post. Iii
compliance witli the latter resolution the
committee beg leave to present the follow
ing:
Bro. John M. McNeel though not a
member of this Lodge, had long resided in
our midst, and by his exemplary conduct
laid commended himself to us as' a good
man and a true Mason, and had endeared
himself to tiie community, who regarded
him as an honest and upright citizen; apd
while ids. sudden dentil in the very prime
of life is deeply deplored by us as Masons,
we cheerfully bow to the will of Him who
doctli all tilings well, and trust that our
beloved brother lias been transferred from
Ids subordinate Lodge below to the Grand
Lodge above.
To ,his bereaved family we tender our
sincere sympathy, and for ourselves while
we deeply feel and regret tiie death of our
brother, the recollection of his rectitude
and virtues will hver lie cherished as a
green spot in our memories.
