At the picnic last Friday, a cer tain young man, laboring under tho impression that dinner had been announced, and being afraid that he and his fair daloinea would not ob tain a fair sham of tbs spoils unless he seized time by the forelock, ad vanced to the table, secured the first plate he could lay hands on, and retreated to a qoiet spot to en joy the booty. Itoagino his disoon.- fiture when he heard dinner an nounced for tho first time, half an hour afterwards. Almost a Shocking Tragedy. On last Thursday morning a terri ble tragedy came near being enacted. Two miles below Dublin a negro man, while at work in the field, dis covered a very largo oopperhead snake and being afraid to attack it, went off, scoured a pistol, and came baok, accompanied by his little niece Ella Griffin by name, a child of about seven or eight-years of age. On aoaring tho place whore the snake was lying, the reptile being aroused and angered by tho noise of approaching footsteps coiled itself for aspring, and erecting its hidcou- triangular head, presented such a p o ture of envenomed wrath as alarm ed the littlo child and caused her to rush towards her unole for protection Just as the latter raised his pistol to fire, the child came directly in line botweon the loaded weapon and the snake and received the discharge in her person. The load entered jnst above the abdomon, inflicting a wound which will probably prove fatal, although the child is still living. Very little blood flowed from I ho wound, the bleeding beiug internal. Drummers by tho score in town ! ‘Where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered.” The constaut i iflux of drummers is probf positive of the amount of business done in onr littlo oity. Mrs. T. J. Moutford, of Buckeye district, after a painfull illness of several weeks; died on Monday after noon last. She' loaves three chil dren, two of whom aro hourly expect ed to follow their mother. The grief-stricken husband and father has the sympathy of their numerous friends. A game of baseball ia played every afternoon on the square in front of Mr. W. J. Scarborough’s residence Why cannot Dublin organize a nine? Wo certainly have the material and enthusiasm, and an occasional good game of ball would vary tho mon otony of a long summer afternoon considerably. Tho union picnic of the Baptist and Methodist Sunday schools came off last Friday, and was quite a suc cess. Tho tables were erected in the grove just in front of the O.iuroh, aud were overburdened with a super abundance of oreature comforts. As usual, tho efficient superintendents of tho two Sabbath schools deserve most of the praise for the success of tho occasion. Mr. H. H. Smith has purchased freni Capt. Henry the lot of land adjoining Dr. Ilicks’ premises, nnd facing the public square, and pro poses to erect a handsome block of storehouses thereon at an early date, The lot has no building of any kind, on it now except an old dilap idated wooden strnoture occupied by Mr. Brnsoh and used as a paint shop, and the substitution of a block of briok stores for the present unsight ly structure will greatly improve the appearauce of this part of tho town. Mr; Smith is a man of enterprise and energy, and wo aro glad to seo him investing his time and money in building up our littlo city. The body Is more susceptible to benefl from Hood’s Sarsaparilla now that at any other season. Therefore, take it now. A poet thus breaks forth : ‘Oh the snore, the beautiful snore, filling t'io chamber from ceiling to floor over the coverlets, under the sheet from her wee dimple chin to her pretty feet; now rising aloft like a bee in June, now sunk to the wail of a cracked bassoon; now, fluto-like subsiding, then rising again, is the beautiful snore of Elizabeth Jane”. '—Ex. Had Tried Four or Five Doctoiis, aud Had Given Up to Die. I Valdosta, Ga., Jan. 15, 1887 Mr. M. A. Briggs : I have been sick for three years, lmrdly being able to walk. 1 had tried four five different doctors withont any benefit at all. All the doctors told me I was suffering with an affection of the heart. I was unable to walk or sleep, aud had no appetite. My liver Was also affected and gave me lots of trouble. My faoe and atom ache were badly swolen also. I had gived ap to die, when 1 was advised to try BRIGGS’ NUNNBETTBR TONIC BILLS, aud after taking five bottles i was so much better 1 got more, and am now entirely well 1 can truly say they saved tny life and 1 want the public to know it For sale by U. n icks A Co. Extension of. W £ T. It. It. Pursuant to a call of tho Presi. dent of the road, tno stockholder of the • Wrightavillo aud Tennitle It. It. hold a meeting in Ten- mile <-u Friday, the 13th iast., for the purpoao of .discussing tho ad vis- bility and feasibility of extending tho above mentioned road to somo point south or west of Dublin. The proposal to extend the road was looked upon unfavorably by many of our townsmon, and quite n delegation went from this place de termined to defeat the enterprise if possible; it being the opinion of many that the extension of the road beyond this point would injure the town by sapping some of its trade, and givoing it another direction. It boing tho desire of the Oentral to extend tho road, and tho Central controlling a majority of tho stock, it was agreed by an overwhelming vote to build tho proposed extension. A proposition was then made, that tho directory of the W. & T. road bo invested with powers extraor dinary, to bo oxeroised in considering the iuduoomonts offored by various terminal points, and determining what place should be (selected as the terminus. j To effoct tho proposed extension, t was agreed to raise the capital stock of the company from 140.000 to 300.000 dollars. After a wordy discussion all this was agreed to. A committco was present to urge the claims of Thomtisville—Thomasville and Hawkinsvillo being tho probable objeotivopoints. The extension is now a settled foot, and while many of the (stockholders do not regard the projoot with favor, the malcontents should reflect that the amount of capital they have in vested in tho road is not sufficient to shape the policy of tho road, while the Central certainly has a righ t to do as sho pleases with her own, and having tho greatest interest, should have the greatest voioe J in directing tho affairs of th« road. .Wo soe no cause for feeling afiy alarm ovor tho oompletion of the proposed, oxtonsion of the road. The Oentral is disposed to deal fuirly with Dublin, and tho “way station” idea absurd. We cannot lose trade we never had, and the new road will give us hotter communication with the outside world; whilo the nowly opened up territory may bo made tribntary to our * town if onr mer chants display tho proper amount of energy and enterprise. The Press Association. The mombors of tho Georgia Press Association met at Valdosta ou the 11th inst., and were royally enter tained by the hospitable citizons of that town. On the following morn ing the press gang left for an exour stop that had boon kindly tend'ored them by tho Brunswick and Wes tern railroad qnfl tho steamship line owned and oporatod by this road. Reaching Brunswick at 12 o’clook, tho metnbors repaired to tho Ocean house, where thoy wore well oared for during thoir stay in that pleasant “city by the sea.” The visitors were troutod to a driyoQVpr, tllO oity in the afternoon and giron an cn tertainment at the oity hall that night. On the next morning, whioh was Friday, tho stoarnor “City of Brunswick” left the wharf, with the members of tiio press and a largo del egation of citizens, for Fernandina, touching at Dungennoss and view iug the grave of “Light Horse 1 ’ Hur ry Leo. This placo is now owned by r widow lady by name of Carnegie, aud the dwelling is an elegant and costly structure, and the immediate surroundings very beautiful. Too much cannot be said in praise of the generous and hospitablo peo pie of that section of our giand old state. And to say that Brunswick will soon bo a city of considerable magnitude is but to reiterate the prophecies of the entire crown of visitors. The writer, however, had chills and fever while on the trip which of course marred his pleasure, and pre vented him from getting up data for an interesting article on that largely blessed country. The Association meets at Cunton next year. Notice to Treapaaeni.
