County Court bcl<l only one day last week, Judge Butt presiding. ream, potatoes, corn, pork, lard, eggs, chickens, pigs, beef, wood, Ac., wanted at the Argus Office, in payment for subscriptions. Wo aro indebted to Mr. Horace Bclk for a few bunches of his “Eldo rado” grapes, which we find to be of excellent quality. The Baptist Church at this place lias called Rev. Mr. Mitchell to be pastor of that church the ensuing year. We have not heard that he has as yet accepted. We traveled to Talbotton, twenty seven miles, on Tuesday, and return ed Wednesday, riding horseback, both ways—the first horseback ride we have taken in several months. J udge of our feelings. Wc are under obligations to Mr. W. E. Mumford, editor of the Tal botton Standard, for highly appreci ated favors extended to ns on our visit to Talbotton this week. The advertisements of the French House, of Amerieus, McAfee House of Snaithviile, and Brown’s Hotel, of Macon, appear on our first page this week. They are good houses, all of them, and it pays to stop at them. Col. Smith, one of the proprietors of the Geneva Nursery, has been quite low during tho last few days. Once or twice his. physician has de spaired of his recovery. When we saw him Wednesday he wa# improv ing. Our friends from the country will f onfer a favor upon us by calling at our office, whenever they come to town, and advising us of any news or interesting occurrences taking place in their neighborhoods. Andrew Female College is adver tised in this issue, It is situated in Cuthbert, a most healthy and lovely little city, and is one of the establish ed institutions of South Georgia. It has had an upward tendency in popu larity and in the confidence of the peo ple for years. Geneva is a thriving little town and doing a live business. Messrs. Pas chal, Brown, Jacoby and others have given impetus to its growth, and un der their efforts it is increasing in importance rapidly. Beuua Vista hopes to become better acquainted with her through her paper, the Ar gus. feHUbecomos ou*i‘ duty to chronicle ol a lovoly child —little aged about two years, a son of Mr. II )vvell T. Hollis, of this coun ty—whice occurred at the father’s residence, -’Monday last about 1 o’clock p. m. Ifib remains were in terred on Tuesday. Our kindest sym pathies are with the. bereaved parents and family. Wo had the pleasure last Friday of visiting tho mineral spring, be longing to Mr. G. W. C. Munro, of this county, and partaking of its health-giving waters. The locality of this spring had long been lost, and lias only been recently re-discovered. We have little doubt but that it boar ding accommodations were provided many invalids would avail themselves of the curing properties of its wa tors. We were pleased to meet, in our sanctum, on Monday last, Mr. W. J. Copeland, an intelligent young man who is both deaf and mute. lie is travelling through the country, can vassing for “Tho Life of Captaiu Fry,” the Cuban martyr. Ho is a young man of superior talent, and, owing to his infirmity, is entitled to tho patronage and confidence of tho people. Ho has sold many of his canvassing book, which is no doubt quite interesting. A TERRIBLE SECRET FIGHT AND HOMICIDE. The Victim Brutally Murdered. A friend brings us, tbia week, tho intelligence of a most brutal and fien dish murder committed in Taylor county, on Saturday last. The few details of the crime show it to have been ccmmited by an incarnate de mon of hate and bloodthirstiness. Tho particulars as received are about as follows: On Saturday last (In tho morning, wc suppose) three men were seen together, going along the road be tween Frattsburg and Carsonville. The names of two of the parties were Goldson and Amos. The name of the third party our informant did not obtain. Afterwards, further on their way, Goldson and the third party were still together, but Amos was missing. Amos was found dead in the road. The murder is shrouded in deep mystery, only two men living know the particulars—Goldson and his companion. Rumor gives this version as from the lips of Go’dsou’s friend. THE DIFFICULTY. As tha three men were pursuing their way, a dispute arose between Goldson and Amos, which soon rip ened into bitter feeling and excited quarrel. They decided to fight it out alone, and for this purpose drove the third man away, who, it appears, was not loth to shun the responsibility of a witness in the case, or a mediator between the antagonists. And there alone, with none to witness the dead ly encounter, or to protect the weak er of tho two, the tragedy of Cain and Abel was re-enacted in tenfold more hideous deformity. Goldson stabbed Amos about the heart, which probably caused instant death. When found, the body displayed this stab,- the throat cut in four directions, up, across and down, and stabs all over the lace and body? As an evidence of a deliberate in tent to murder, the stab in the heart caused death, beyond a question, and may have been guen in a passion or m self-defense, but, the cutting of the throat and stabbing in tho face was deliberate cold-bloody and superla tively fiendish, for Goldson’s foot prints around the head of the mur dered man, show that they were giv sn while he was in a dead or dying condition. Canid a more cowardly and brutal murder have been com mitted ? The cause of the difficulty is un known. After committing the deed, Gold son went on and overtook the third party, who pretends to have been driven away, and confessed to bira the crime. Goldson is now in jail in Butler, Taylor county, awaiting trial. The report of the driving away of the companion of tho two antago nists is apocryphal. There appears to bo strong circumstantial evidence that he was a witness to the murder, if not a party to it. THE CHARACTERS of the two men were widely different. Amos is said to have been a quiet, peaceable man, not accustomed to getting into difficulties. On the oth er hand, Goldson was, we are told, notorious for his quarrelseme pro clivities and belligerent propensities —a rowdy and a dangerous man. He was nnder two or three indictments before committing this crowning act of infamy. Dr. J. W. Ansley, our live drug gist, finding his old quarters too con tracted for his increased business, moved from his old stand, on south side public square, to the west side, and now occupies the Wiggins buil ding, recently occupied by Mr. Wil liams, who now occupies Ar. Ans ley’s old stand. Owing to his mov ing this week the Doctor has failed to send us in his ad, for this issue. He promises, however, to bo on time ,for our next, Messrs. Lowe & Rushin- Arc one of the leading and estab lished firms of Buena Vista, who for several years have given satisfaction to their customers and have won for their house an enviable reputation. Though not flourishing under tho dripping eves of some railroad water tank, they feel, confident that they can sell goods quite as cheap as any of tho water tank towns and cities. They have a full lino and n* large stock. Read their ‘ ‘New Dry goods” advertisement. Mr. Lowe, of tho firm of Lowe A Rusliin, left our town "ii Wednesday last. nf adding to lii.tdflfl stock of good.-. V DAVKNPOUT a Wc refer the reader to the fine advertisement of the large and exten sive drug firm of Messrs. Davenport A Smith. They and their medicines aro well known, and parties, needing drugs and medicines, could not spend their money more judiciously than by purchasing of them. While in Amerieus, we had the pleasure of calling upon them and found them both to be urbane and clever gentle men, thorough-going, prompt and reliable. We cheerfully recommend them to the patronage of our read ers. Read their adAertiscmenis. School Commissioner, Rev. W. A. Singleton, has been notified by the Sec retary of the State Agricultural and Me chanical College, at Athens, that Marion county is entitled to a free scholarship in that institution, which has not yet been taken up. Young men who desire to avail themselves of this opportunity should address Mr. Singleton on the subject. The scholarship will not long remain vacant- Fora good square meal, at only Fifty Cents, call on Mr McAfee, at Smithville. Wo call special attention to the Dental card of Dr W P Burt, Amerieus, Ga. The Doctor is well known in this section and requires no recommendation from us* Asa gentleman and as a dentist he stands preeminently high ■ rhoreaer he is known. As may bo seen by reference to his card ho desires to continue to serve his friends in this section. We received early this week the in lei ligence that Mr French, of the French House, in Amerieus, committed suicide in Atlanta last week, by taking mor phine. As vc have not yet received au thoritative particulars of the suicide, we withhold them for tho present. We will probably give them in our next issue. A wedding in high life to take place soon in this community, is the rumor that is fioating just now. Toole A Price.— A new and hand some brick, fire-proof warehouse has been built on Cotton Avenue, oppo site the Jordan Stables, for Messrs. Toole A Trice, the popular and well known warehousemen of Amerieus, who are now occupying it. The warehouse is commodious, safe and convenient to our people, well adap ted for the purpose intended. Messrs Toole A Price are experienced ware house and commission merchants, at tentive to business and solicitous for the interests of their patrons. To those who know them they need no additional recommendation, those who do not will find them polite, at tentive, prompt business men. See advertisement. Getting Meat yajl^j We arc sorry to lear^J days ago, two white of the pine woods, above Thornton villo, in the upper part of this county, were detected in the woods, in the act of skinning a hog, belonging to a neighbor. The act itself is a mattef of small consequence, but when it is known that tho skinning was done without tho owner’s knowledge or consent, tho matter assumes ugly proportions. Tho owner wants pay ment for the hog, and intimates that they are mucii needed in Texas. We know the name of none of the par ties. Several of the farmers in that sec tion of tho county complain that hog and cattle stealing is prevalent to an alarming extent there. Can’t the thieves be apprehended and brought to justice ? Mr Hamp Stevens, of the firm of Mc- Michael Stevens, made a quick trip to !H<tcoh lust week, to purchase a line of | fall Btaple dry goods and M -1 burned MoMich&el & Stevens. Wc take pleat A-e in referring to tho advertisement of this thriving firm in this issue of tho IARGUS. Though not yet a year old, it is strong and vigorous, possessing sound crodit and increasing business. Popular from the start, it is increas ing in popularity every day. “Quick Sales and Small Profits,” is its mot to, and it Is a good one, full of sound business principles. Mr. H. Btevens. J: , attends personally to the busi ness, and pushca it with an energy that will insure success*. Before tak ■ to . ■ ■ \ A , * t v h S. Anthony & Son. This old and strongly established Fnrniture firm lay their claims for patronage in their line, before the people of Marion, Schley and Web ster counties, in a well arranged and comprehensive advertisement, which see. Wc find their stock to bo very large and extensivp, including every thing needed, for use or ornament, in furnaiture, shades, frames, crockery, Ac., about a family residence or a business office. They have many handsome and elegant bed room and parlor sets of furniture, which can be bought on reasonable terms. Give them a call. While riding in a stage coach from Kinderhook to Albany, N. Y.,inany years since, John Yan Bnren, who was smoking; asked a stranger in the stage if smoking was agreeable to him. The stran_ ger answered; “Yes, it is agreea ble. Smoke away. I have often thought if ever I was rich enough I would hire some loafer to smoke in my face.” Mr. Van Bureu threw his cigar out the window. Ol> One Egg Cake— One and one half cups sugar, orfo or 1 two eggs; blitter the size of an egg; beat smoothly together; one cup sweet milk, two to two and one half cups flour, two teaspoonfuls baking pow der. If yon get a moment of time spruce up; put the gate on hinges; put alittle paint on the picket fence you built last year; trim up the door yard make it cozy and inviting. T>o not say yon can find no time to attend to these things. The fact is you have no right to he slovenly/ It can do no good, but on the contrary it will mar your peace, wound your self-re spect and impair your credit. Then by all means, spruce up a little, at odd times, and at even times too, for that matter. It will make you feel vastly better, and maybe, a trifle proud of your pretty homestead. Your wife and children will be hap pier for it; your neighbors will be en riched, beautfied and blessed by it And your farm will bo worth more money in the market 'and of greater value to you at home if you spruce up a little now and then. 0 Someone wrote to Horace Greely inquiring if guano was good to put be for jißjih>gk , i vi 11 ? to hunt up business. A small boy found the dead body of a man lying in a clump of bushes just above the Troy and Boston railroad track, near the north bounds of Lansiugburg, Friday after noon. The police were notified and a telegram was sent to Coroner Sea man. Coroner Blackball also heard of the case, and both sartod lor the place. “Arriving at Adamaville,” says the Troy Whig, “Blackball took tho northern, Seaman the new turnpike. Seaman could drive with in three-eights, Blaekhall within five eights of a mile of where the body fay. The rest of the distance had to be traveled on foot. Seaman had the shortest distance, Blackball the best road. They made a very pict uresque appearance as one came up tho railroad track, the other across the fields. Blackball was a trifle behind when they reached the spot, and Seaman awarded tho case. The two officers were completely out of breath and were unablo to speak for some moments. We for get who the unfortunate man—that .is to say, tho c< rpse, not Blaekhall— was; but the verdict, accord to I Seaman, was il l beat him about three rods, and. I can do it again.
