Dr. George Weedon, who passed through Dublin nlinnr throo ' weeks ago, on his way to Wrightsvillo, with a view to again making his homo there, was in Dublin Monday on his return to Florida—having decided not to8ottle in Wrightsvillo. On last Friday evening while Mr. Edmondson, of Savannah, and Mr. Burg, of Macon, were on their way to Dublin the buggy struck u pine and was capsized and both were thrown out. The former getting his hand badly mashed. We noted, while on a visit there last week, quite a number of signs of improvements in Wrightsvillo. Several new buildings, both for busi ness and dwelling houses. There are better days in the near future for Wrightsvillo. Our Wrightsvillo list is consiilem- bly foreshortened, si to speak, this week. All who find their papers stopped can have them continued by calling on our agent, Mr. W. P.

If Narrow Escape. Judge Rowe’s dwelling narrowly escaped being burned Monday last. The roof toox fire from a falling spnrk, and but for the fact that the spark fell on the lee side of the house,, coupled with the good luck of being almost immediately discovered by Jlr. W. W. Robinson, tho house would have,in. a few minutes,been re duced to ashes. Mr. Robinson,assisted by Mr. Wm. Italic, climbed to the firo with a bucket of water by tho time tho flumes had covered a space of two feet square and readily extin guished it. We are in Earnest ami Mean Fair Play. In ncjjo^iupq wjth duo notico given wc revised onr Johnson county subscription book last week after onr return from Wrightsvillo, and struck off the naine of every subscriber who had not paid up iu advance. This revision applied also to all sulnjorib era who are not in tho habit of at tending Luurons Superior Court. Wo’did tlTis’in a' business way.; Wo made no exception. Tho numos of two brotbera, two - brothers-in-law and many ol her particular friends shared tho common fate Nothing short of tho very best business management can make a weekly paper pay. I’ho paper that goes out on time is on tho road to the graveyard. It must either sus pend at an early day or drag out ii miserable oxistonco by elieating paper mills, printers and all others who deal with it. As wo don’t think any of our friends'wish to see the Post starved out, or what is worse reduced to, the necessi ty of swiiulli ng printors, pa per mills^ renters, hoarding houses, etc., we don’t think thc-v will object to our adopting Hie casli-in-ndvance system. Though wo have lost a good deal by postponing what wo ought to "have done at. tho start, we would not have our readers believe the Post 1ms been unable to meet all obligations. In spito of that one serious drawback, the Post is out of debt, is on a solid financial footing and pays as it goes. But, as stated above, what success tho paper has achieved has been not by the credit system, but in spite of it. Three year’s experience, the loss of over five hundred dollars, and the ad vice of • the few successful news paper mon we have met have convinced us that wo,must cut en tirely loose from the credit business. All Escape l'rom Drowning. The following account of a mirac ulous escape from drowning wo get from tho Columbus Tones: “From a young man wild came tip on the Jordan from a trip to Florida yis- terduy, we learned of a most mirac ulous escape from drowning of nine persons. A gentleman, named Dr. Cushman, of Brazil, accompanied by his family, had been on a visit to his grandmother, Mrs. Keyes, of lolu, Fla., and were'on thoir return home. It was necessary that they should cross tho Dead Lakes iu a small boat in order to reach tho steamer, and when near the center tho boat struck a stump and sank. The entire party, consisting of the Doctor, his wife, his wife’s sistor, five children and a nurse, were all thrown! out. in the water, Upoti rising to tho top, tho doctor tyyi.-w*.-v* me chtwron on his back, am) his wife, who was a good swimmer, did the same. They carried thorn to tho nearest stump and left them, and returning for the others did them in tho sumo manner, tjioroby placing the, entire party in places of safety. There they retnaiti ed until they could secure assistance frpm the shore, which soon, came, and they were all safely landed. This may appear like an exaggerated story to some, but the young gentleman Who informs us is perfectly reliable, am) says ho saw the party with his own eyes. The doctor’s wife is cer tainly a woman of rare nerve mid forethought, and her behavior bn this ocousion was most courageous.” — —• y. :*r CliespeakeGuano, ... ; . .490lbsCotton.

One of the trappers who left here some weeks ago returned last week and tackled the Hunger and Hard ship heavers. lItrcaptured*tavo and quit, having discovered, he says, that most of them have emigrated from * owM., trae^rw]r.up()irTiTm, cri>shiug him leave the county, however. He has gone over this week on t he east side of’the river in the Jower portion of the county where he has beer! prom ised plenty of games. He sold tho first of tho beavers ho killed in Hunger and Hardship in the Dublin market, and quite a number of our citizens tried, for the first time, the flavor of beaver beef. Sotno liked it—some didn’t. The Mayor's Office. The question is often asked what is being done in the contest ovor-bhc mayor’s office? It is unnecessary to go into details, but for the informa tion of all concerned, wc will say that the matter will come up next week in Superior Court. Tho tax ordi nance will be resisted, those who voted illegally will be prosecntoil, and the question us to who is entitled to he mayor of Dublin will bo thorough ly tested. And don’t you let these facts wander beyond the purlieus of your memory. Heorgift Teachers Association. The annual convention of the Georgia Teachers’ association for 1881, was to dohveno at Atlanta on the first Tuesday in May. As the national association' meets iu this The Lntest Case of Plagiarism. Sacramento Star. ' A report of the state of religion in Nevuda would be almost as brief as the famous chapter on snakes in Ireland. The following anecdote might, however, ho inserted: “At the recent opening of the Nevada Legislature an Eastern minister was invited to perform the religions ser vice. He accepted the call and closed the ceremony witii the Lord’s Prayer. When he had finished State Senator Doohm turned to Senator Hammond and remarked audibly: •He stole that prayer, and I’ll bet on it. 1 beard it almost word for word in Eureka at a funeral oyer ten years ago.’” Killed by a Falling Tree. \BBEV1LLE, Ga., March 30, 1881. —A heavy win3 and rain storm pre vailed here yesterday, blowing down considerable tiniberand fencing, and bringing sorrow*and misfortune to ono household.

Coch ft a N, G a. , Mar, 3", 1881. —The hotel known as tho “Daisy House,” an.l owned and conducted by Col. Jus. A. Thomas, was burned last night. The origin of the fire is un known. It is stated that the prop erty was insured.’ J. L. Overby’s livery stables caught but the firo was extinguished. Had it not been for the ram yesterday evening, much damage would have been done. Jail Delivery. When Mr. Drury YV. Taylor, our efficient sheriff and jailor arrived at the jail he discovered tlmt his birds had flown. There were four prison ers confinded in the jail, all of whom effected their oscape. Tho prisoners were Pack Horton, white charged with tho offense of forgery, Allen Lestor, colored, assault with intent to murder, and Jeff Weaver, colored who was convicted at (lie last May Term of the Superior Court for hog stealing, and who was awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court in I have sold the Jittovu Guano for ten years, ami no one has ever ftfutal to pay for u dingle Ion. ..
