The postoffico has been removed
to the office of the secretary of the
old Dublin and Wrightsville rail
road, better known ns Captain
Stanley's law office. It will be re
membered that this building was
used as a postoffico years gone by.
A most singular occurrence was
that of a wildcat boing simultaneous
ly shot lit by Messrs. Wm. Lee and
Lou Clark, both of this county, who
were each ignorant of the other's
presence. They met over the temuins
of tho cat each believing that he had
killed him.
Several of Johnson county’s offi-i
oers w^re re-elected. Among them
are the following named gentlemen
and the offices to which they were
elected : Clerk, J. M. Mason; sher
iff, J. W Rowland; tax collector,
Jvhn F. Norris, and tux receiver,
L. S. Powell.
The Domestic Manufacturing Com
pany, of Marion, Ohio, are jK*ofes-
sionul djudbeats, and we hope that
none of our readers have been duped
as badly in their offer of a *'1100 a

vertising for them. Rut it will bo
so occasionally.
Mr. C. E. Lanier has boon in con
trol of the engine to tho passenger
coach ou the road leading to this
place for several weeks and the care
ful and faithful mantior displayed in
tho discluuge of that important du
ty brings forth much respect as well
as praise from tho people at large.
Although the youngest, he is second
to no engineer in point of careful
and successful management.
And still they come ! Every day
brings to our town parties looking
for a desirable location, and who
will settle and engage in the differ
ent avocations of life provided that
proper inducements are offered.
Thoso having building lots for sale
should place the figures as low down
us possible and thus encourage im
migration to our towu. It takes
people to make a town and Dublin
will soon be thickly populated if the
present inhabitants only will it.
Prof. Peyton L. Wado, aftei
spending the holidays with dear
friends in Athens, returned to Dub
lin last Friday evening, and will re
sume his duties as principal of the
Dublin academy on Monday morn
ing next. There is; no yood reason
why Dublin should not have a very
flourishing school. Certainly a lib
erally ]>atrouized literary school
would reflect no IiLtle credit on tho
town, and would prove to be a strong
inducement to those seeking homes.
Build up your school!
The citizens of Macon havo re
cently organized a society for the
prevention of cruily to animals It
is a good thing and should ho adop
ted in every town and community.
Let Dublin get up something of the
kind mid sco if it does not have
tendency to lesson the ill treatment
of poor, dumb brutes. It is a la
mentable fact that some people, es
peciallv when under the* influence
of whisky, abuse their stock most
unmercifully, and something should
be done to prevent it,
The following changes have been
recently made: Mr. and Mrs. J. B.
Daniel! have stopped boarding and
are »*w keeping house in the Simms
building, occupied last year by Dr.
Williams; Dr. Williams has moved
into the house formoriy occupied bv
Mrs. C. J. Perry, who is occupying
a portion of Mr. W. II. Tillery’s
lesidcuoe. It. R. N >rman, E<q
now with Mr. Win. Jackson, and
iho house made vacant by his mov
ing is occupied by Mr. D. S. Black-
shear.
T. D Thrash, a professional prill
ter who has been in this office for
nine days, left unceremoniously lust
Sunday morning.- He seems to be
the possessor of a roving disposition
not being contented to remain in
any one place any great length of
time. As a proof of the assertion
we will state that he rented a paper
in this stutc and remained only long
enough to dts'iihiite the funding
matter, leaving the proprietor to get
out a half sheet on account thereof.
Tho press will kindly pass him a
round ; if not, lie will puss himself
around.
Col. J. K. 11 : ghtower contem
plates the erection of a new dwelling
in the western portion of town be
fore a gica- while.
A Change ol Untie Nceosmiry.
Now that tho seuson of year has
arrived whoa every farmer is puz
zling his bruin over the advisability
of planting certain crops in this and
that Held, triug to decide in his own
mind tho crop tliut will grow best
here and tho other that will yield
best there, perhaps a fow words re
garding acreage from even us will
not be oat of place. It is true that
every planter should bo thoroughly
acquainted with tho naturo of
tho soil in which he intends to
plant, and overy one should plant
in accordance with said knowledge,
yet they should not scleot, as tho
majority of them Inure heretofore,
the largest field of tho mo3t produc
tive soil to plant in cotton, hut
vice versa. Try a larger acreage in
corn for once and if this result is
uot satisfactory it will ho an easy
matter, at the begining of another
twelve month, to retrace tho old iind
trodden paths, for they will not he
so badly dimmed by a year's neglect
that tncy cannot be easily found.
But, you may say, and as hundreds
do say, “the cotton crop is tho only
ready money crop made.” Now
this has beeu the cry for years aud
yet the people seem to be as badly
depressed financially, and perhaps
more so, as they were when the cry
was first heard. Put yonr minds to
active work and east your eyes a-
round and try aud see or think of a
farmer prospering who has . relied
solely on the cotton crop for pros
perity ! On the other bund, behold
the inun, independent, us fat as this
world's goods are concerned, who
devotes his time to growing, corn,
with his spare uoreage in cotton,
and who with his corn keeps a large
number of fine stock about his place 1
Contrast tho two and decide in
whose shoes yon had rather stand.
To which of the two would you first
g > if you wanted to find a man with
plenty in his burn and smoke houso
and a few dollars of tho “ready
cash” on hand ? It does not take
a Solomon to unswor this question,
yet nearly everyone, while admitting
the force cf tho truth—that there
is less ntonoy in planting cotton,
than almost any .other crop—will
persist in doing that that his better
judgement teaches him not to do.
It is hard to -understand why some
men will continuo to follow in (lie
old paths becauso their neighbor or
the world at large insists ou doing
so. There must he a turning place
somewhere and we do not think the
day very far distant wheu the force
of necessity will so plaiuly point the
index finger thereto that the veriest
simpleton will not ho mistuked con
ccrning it. l'ho sooner this is uni
versally felt the better it will be for
all concerned. Mark tho hcudlmes
A cha ige of base is necessary;
A Fatal Accident.
James Flanders, a thirteen or
fourteen year old son of Mr. Wil
liamson T. Flanders, of this county,
was killed by the overturning of n
cartbody last night. His father had
sent him off with the curt un.l upon
his not returning at night, search
was instituted this morning, which
resulted in finding tho unfortunate
hoy by the roadside with his
head horribly mangled. Mr. Flan
dci'6 moved to this county from
Johnson four or five years ago, and
within that short umo but few have
had the sad experience that he has.
Two years ago lie was almost fatally
cut by a circular saw, from the ef
fects of which ho suffered for
months. Not long thereafter one
of his children was drowned in a
hole of water. Now a promising
son suddenly and unnaturally taken
from him. The family have the
warm sympathy of numerous friends
and acquaintances in their sad be
reavement.
A Serious Accident.
A very serious, almost fatal, acci
dent befell little Joo Guyton, second
son of Mrs, Currie E, Guyton, hist
Sunday morning. Ono of the lot
gates had been taken from its hinges
for the purpose of putting in sound
posts, when tho little unfortunate
fellow, in his endeavors to open it.
received a terrible blow on tho head
as it fell to tho ground. A gush
fully six inches in lenght, tho shape
of of half crescent, was out on his
head, parting tho skin ail inch or
more. Ills right elbow, was wicnch-
od too, though not seriously. Med
ical aid wus summoned, tho'wound
dressed, and at last accounts the lit
tle follow was resting as well as the
case would admit.
There are four or five cases of
whooping-cough in this place, and
had the.same number of individuals
with smullpox lauded here from
some foroign country the flutter and
oxoiteinCnt in some quarters could
not have been greater. The older
people—above all, the ones most
likely to know—say that unless a
person is thrown with tho patient
when the fever is on, which is wheu
he is contracting it, lie iB not in any
danger whatever of catching it.
