Coming events, they say, cast their

of a shadow, has been for the last
few days casting some very deci.ded

Wlio Will Answer?
Ed. Post:
Please to answer this question
•through your paper, viz., .What-was
the cause of the Doctors’ mob in
New York in the year 1788 ?
A Subscriber.
Mr. J. J. F. Blackshoar has
noticed an Irish potato cutting which
sprouted on the cut side. The cut
ting was a little larger than a silver
dollar and about a quarter of an inch
thick. Mr. B. wants to know if the
like was ever seen before.
The Colville says it intends to
make a* trip weekly. It will work

railroad and get all the fn ight there
and bring it down, thus allowing the
hands to spend the Sabbath in town.
. Read the card of Mr. J. W. Clark,
millwright. Mr. Clark is too well
known all through this part of the
State to require commendation at
our hands. Wliori you want first-
class mill work done you may address
him at, Stephensville, as you will sec
by his card.
The Rev. Mr. Houck, of Outhbort,
will preach to-night (Wednesday) in

Bethlehem. Mr. Houck is a blind
man, having lost liis eyesight years
ago while engaged in missionary work
among the Indians, by handling
poison sumach and afterward rub
bing his eyes with the juice.on his
fingers.
Rather Remarkable.
Laurens eonuty contains a family
of nine brothers, all living and in
good health, the youngest fifty years
of age, six of them served, through
the late war, four of them are good
blacksmiths, none of thorn ever had
a chill or fever until past twenty-one
years of ago. The lather of tins
quiver full of hoys was the late Ste
phen B. Hester.
The First Yard.
Mis. Phoebe Weaver, a very aged
lady of this county, says her mother
bought and she wore the first yard
of calico ever sold in Dublin. The
place was then called Sand Bar
town. The store in which her mo
ther purchased the goods was a little
plain log house near the river. She
paid 35 cents a yard for the calico.
The present business portion of the
town was then all pine woods.
Go to Jones’ and buy one 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 brilliant,
destined to supersede all others. Extin
guished by touching a spring instead of
blowing, gives a light equal to that of the
$8.00 student’s lamp.. Cheap as any other
amp. Old lamp howls may he refitted
with the improved burners, wicks and
chimneys. Call and examine for yourself.
W. B. Jokes & Co., sole agents for

met by a very small audience.
His lecture was a failure, and the
breaking of the stone on his chest
not mticli better. But that ho is
the most wonderfully and fearfully
made of men, no one will for a mo
ment dispute; If he did not stop
his heart and pulse, if he did not
drop another set of ribs down over
his abdomen, if he did not remove
his heart to different parts of his
body, we have vtft to hear a rational
explanation of these phenomena.
Pigs and Poultry.
On last Saturday Mr. J. T. Rod
gers, one of the loading farmers of
the county, was in town, and allowed
us to get some of lus views on pig
and poultry raising. Wo asked him
wliat lie thought of Dr. Chappell’s
notion, (published in the Post a
week or two ago,) that a cross be
tween Essex and common stock
would make the best hog wo could
got. He thought Dr. 0. was right
where the hogs are turned out to
shift for themselves; but he had
found, with careful feeding, lie could
get more out of a cross between
Berkshire aud Essex. He had killed
two pigs of this cross at eight
months, one of which netted him
172 lbs., the other 19G.
Mr. It. had tried nearly all the
loading breeds of chickens, but found
that the game was the bosh;—best
for eating, best layers, best setters
and best mothers. He had one game
heii that would ily as high as the
Court-House lifter a hawk. He has
just received a piiii of Red Pile games
from Chester county Penn., which
lie thinks the handsomest of all the
gamo breeds.
Pile question of an appropriation
for the clearing out of the Oconee
river from Dublin to Altamahu is
being agitated among the people
along the river. We wish them
success in tliis undertaking, as it
would inure greatly to the interest
and prosperity of the people, espe
cially in the way of cheap and con
venient freights; . We have no doubt
but that the appropriation can lie
had if the peoplo will intimate to
Hon. Phil. Cook its necessity. We
hope our friends will let us hear
from thorn on this question. It oc
curs to us that our neighbor, Mount
Vernon, would bo greatly blessed in
the completion of this project.—

OBITUARIES.
Died on the 9tli inst. at liis homo in Lnu-
rons county, Ga., after a painful illness of
eight days, B. Clayton Joiner, in the 49th
irflllli Mil 1IIW.I 1.1,. n .... ..d
year of liis age. He was a good citizen, a
kind husband and an excellent neighbor.
He leaves a wife and many friends and
relatives to mourn liis loss.
Died at li'*r home in Laurens county,
Ga.. on tlie 191 li inst., Mrs. Elizabeth Ann
Swinson, in the 44th year of her age. She
leaves a husband and ten children to mourn
lior death. Bile was for many years a
member of the Tbintinf; clmreli Thniurh
Prof. Thomas.
A negro, calling himself Prof.,
Thomas, alias J)r. Thomas, came
into Dublin last Tuesday, professing
to have the power to stop the heating
of lus heart and pulse, to make Ins
heart beat in four different places of
his body, to betid a I inch iron bar
by striking on his hare arm, &c., &c.
He would exhibit his extraordinary
power to any one for a quarter. He
had a public exhibition at the Court
House on Thursday night; but us
nearly all who desired to seo liis per
formances had taken advantage of
liis previous private exhibitions, ho
member of the Baptist church, Though
her loss is it serious blow to the bereaved
family, the evidence silo left of the hope
she hud in (lie life beyond this vale of
tears should remain an abididg consolation
to them in their deep distress. And while
we tender them our heart-felt sympathy,
we can but express the hope that they will
so live that in Heaven the family shall ail
be re-united to part no more.
T. W. D.
Departed this life on 22nd of April, 1879
.Mrs. Hachncl Susan McLendon, consort of
Bro. John A. McLendon, at the .old home
stead in Laurens county, Ga. in the 32nd
year of her age.
Her many virtues, combined with a
sweetness of disposition, nrd evenness of
temper won for her a largo number of de
voted friends. “None knew her but to
love her,” has been the testimony of ail
her acquaintances since Iter death. She in
early life gave herself to the Savior, whom
site loved and served • for the past sixteen
years as a member of Blue Water Church.
Her funeral was preached in the church at
Dublin on Wednesday, 23rd, hv Rev. W. S.
Ramsay her former pastor and friend A
large concourse was present to mingle their
tears in sympathy witJi the bereaved ones
whom she lias left. Her remains were ten
derly laid in the grave by loving hands
amidst sobs and sighs to await the morning
of the resurrection. She leaves an affec
tionate husband and children, the youngest
quite an infant, whom we tender to the
sympathy of Ilim who alone can comfort,
and who has never sent the mourner iiwav
empty.
But we sorrow not for her, our sorrow
is for those whom she has left. Her hus
band, her aged mother, her tender little
children and her remaining sisters. We
feel assumed that He who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb will not forget them and
that in due time they be enabled to say:
“Blessed be the name of the Lord. He
doeth all things well. 1 ' It seemed fitting
to bury her in the glad spring-time umid
perfume of flowers and song of birds to re
mind us that dlie is happy—that for her
the bitterness of death is past, that trial and
pain and sorrow are henceforth eternal
strangers to her. It seemed fitting that her
spirit should wing its flight from the dear
old home where she was bora, where her
father died, 'where she gave herself in mar
riage. where the little ones left so lone
some, may be reminded of their Joss and
her gain so constantly. We would meet
our loved one in that far away homo of the
blest and with her rejoice 'forever. Wy
would all like her sleep in Jesus when
called away from earth, May our desires

From all parts of the country reports
come of the immense sales and Increasing
demand for Unit deservingly popular Sew
ing Machine, The Did and Reliable “Stan
dard,” the price of which tlie proprietors
wisely reduced to $20, Including all the
attachments, mid at once secured fo- them
a popularity among tl|| people, far beyond
that oyer yet attained by any other machine
at any price, tlie consequence of which is,
agents are leaving the old high priced ma
chines, and seeking territory for the “Stan
dard.” Knowing from experience that
witli tholiest goods at the lowest price
they cun outsell all other umchincx, where
the superior quality and low price Is made
known. This splendid machine combines
all tlie improvements. Is fur ahead of all
others in benuly and durability of its
work, case of management; light running
and certainty of 'operation, is sensibly
made upon sound principles, with positive
working parts all steel, nnd can be safely
