Horrible Infantcide.
On last Saturday we listened to

occurred in this county oil last Fri
day; hnt the particulars arc too
shocking for publication. The bru
tal mother who committed the mon
strous crime is named Genie Jones.

this place. Ho has just received
new lot of excellent material and
got over his little spell of fever, and
is prepared to do better work than
ever. Call early.
Mr. W. J. Fordham, seeing
notice in the Post that sweet potatoes
would find ready sale in Dublin,
brought down a load with several
large jars of lard on last Saturday.
He only got forty cents per bushel,
whereas he thought he ought to have
had fifty cents. Other parties who
had intended to bring potatoes to
market, learning the price, decided
not to bring them. We think fifty
cents not too much for potatoes at
this season.
Our Agricultural Department,
On the fourth page of the Post a
column or more each week will be
devoted to agricultural literature.
Some of our best farmers have prom
ised origiual articles for this depart
ment, and we hopo that many others
will be willing to give the public the
benefit of their experience. No
farmer should refrain from writing
for fear he may make a grammatical
error. We will look after that purt
of the composition. When original
articles are not furnished, we will
supply the deficiency' with matter
selected from the best agricultuial
journals of the country. But it
would be much better to havo some
thing original every week, and we
hope onr farmer friends will take
sufficient interest in the matter to
write for the Post regularly.
A Stitch in Time.
The complaint about the scarcity
of cotton seed this spring is almost,
universal. Thoy were not very plen
tiful at first, and after the heavy
rains which followod close upon the
first plantings, the cry for seed be
came general. Talking with Judge
J. T. Duncan on the subject, a few
days ago, we learned a hint about
cotton seed which all our farmers
would do well to note. The J udgo
says he never has much trouble about
getting a good staud of cotton,
whether the rain and sun hake the
ground or not. Ho thinks most of
the trouble springs from want, of
soundness in the seed. The seed in
cotton picked and piled up with the
dew on undergoes a gontle heat and
will not come up except under the
most favorablo circumstances, lie
always sets apart his best cotton for
seed, and has it picked after the dew
has driod off. Seed saved in this
way never fail; hut when the ground
bakes very hard it is best to scrape
it over.
Shooting AftVay.
A most dcsrcrato shooting affray
occurred ten miles below Dublin
about 8 o’clock on Monday morning
(the 12th inst.) between J. W.
McDowel and John Pryor. It seems
that they had been making threats
about each other until they both
deemed it unsafe to be without their
double-barreled guns. On Mouday
Pryor went to McDowel’s field whore
he found him hoeing. They passed
some words when McDowel struck
Pryor with his hoe. They each then
put in one shot with their guns,
Pryor receiving the full loud in the
cheek and McDowel in the leg.
Though only one barrel of each gun
had been discharged, they stopped
shooting, clubbed their guns and
heat each other over the head until
the breeches of their guns were bro
ken off. They now stopped, sat
down and opened a conversation.
Win. King, a neighbor, who was ex
pecting something of the sort, hear
ing the shooting hurried to the scene
of bloodshed, lie found them ns
above described. He heard Pryor
say he was satisfied; but McDowel
replied lie was not—that ho intend
ed to prosecute Pryor. Pryor walk
ed home. McDowel had to he haul
ed. It is not thought either will
die.
Johnson Items.
Mr. Nelson, of Gordon, a revenue
officer and the U. S. marshal was in
town last Friday looking around.
The clock doctor was in town last
Saturday, mended a few clocks, per
formed a few tricks of jugglery and
disappeared.
Collis Renfroo, little son of Mr.
J. I. ltonfroe, was thrown from an
ox last Saturday and badly hurt.
Mi% G. T. Kellam, of Laurens
county, is in Wrightsvillo selling
fruit trees.
Martlm Tucker, col.,’ who was
sent to the penitentiary from this
county three years ago for breaking
into Mrs. Wiggins house in Wrights-
ville returned last Thursday night
laden with plunder she had stolen
from a colored couple in Washington
county a few nights before. She
was overtaken by the parties near
Wrightsville. Martlm cried a little
gave up the goods and was turned
loose to rob some one else.
Mr. Charles Gardiner, living near
Macon, shot Mr. Joe Massoy at the
house of tho former on Wednesday
night. Tho Telegraph (0 Messenger
says: “It seems Mr. Joo Massoy was
sitting in the parlor, when Mr. Gar
diner came in intoxicated and said:
T believe I will kill you anyhow.’
Massoy ran out to tho gate, when
Gardiner shot him with a doulilo-
barroled gun, wounding him very
seriously in the eyes and face. Dr.
Mettauer was sent for and went out.
It is thought Massoy will die.

Proverbs for Subscribers.
We clip tho # following timely prov
erbs from an exchange :
‘A wise son maketli a glad father,
and a prompt-paying subscriber cans
eth an editor to laugh.
‘Folly is joy that is destitute of
wisdom,’ hut a delinquent subscriber
cuuseth suffering in the house of
newspaper maker.
‘All the ways of a man are clear in
his own eyes,’ except tho way the
delinquent subscriber hath in not
paying for his paper.
‘Better is a little with righteous
ness,’. than a thousand subscribers
who fail to pay what they owo.
‘A just weight and balance ure the
Lord’s,’ but thut which is due upon
your newspaper belongs to the pub
lislier thereof.
‘Better is a dry morsel and quiet
ness therewith,’ than a long list of
subscribers who cheat the printer.
‘A righteous muu hatoth lying,
hence the editor wuxeth wroth against
tho subscriber who promises to call
and settle on the morrow, yet culloth
not to settle.
‘It biteth like a serpent and sting-
eth like an adder.’ when the udder
S ets through adding up tho amounts
