W. A. MARTINKRE BADLY INJURED. Sunday afternoon a vory serious acci dent happened at the Eagle ami Pfconix mills, by which Mr. W. A. Martlnere, general traveling agent for that factory, was seriously injured. He, with a party of gentlemon, was buthing in the bath room which is attach ed to the factory. The floor was very wet and slippery, and as Mr. Martinore was running across It, ho slipped and fell heavily, striking his hood witli groat force on the planks. He was immediately picked up and found to be insensible. He was given all possible attention and was soon removed to his home. Dr. E. F. Colzy was called in and pronounced tho injuries received to be soverc. Tho full was very heavy and caused concussion of the brain. It was thought by some present that a fracture of tho skull had resulted. This was not the case. Mr. Murtinero remained uncon scious all the afternoon and all night. Yesterday his consciousness returned and lie seemed to be suffering very much. The danger now is that the concussion will result in a compression of tho brain, whibii is so often attended with fatal re sults. It was thought yesterday after noon that Mr. Murtinero was better, and that his recovery was probable. It is yet impossible to speak definitely concerning the case. Wo regret vory much that so serious an accident should have happened to Mr. Martinore and hope that he may soon recover. It is a pity for so clever a gentleman to bo thus injured. 4*rami Convention- The negroes of Washington and Han cock counties havo rosolvod to have a "na tional con vontiou." Tho call has been is sued, and despite tho present heat, or aqy other impediment, the beautiful plans laid will be carried out. The Augusta papers, and nomoother journals in the State, seem to have something like serious apprehen sions about this national convention. Tho call indicates that it is more apt U> boa negro jubilee than a political move ment worthy of note. As tho nation and "nineteen counties" are invited, wo sup pose tho colored people of Columbus will be represented. The call is a curiosity, and we publish ifcfor the benefit of all who wish to knuw tho movements of the great national convention agitators: "There will ho a national convention of tho Republican party hold on Saturday, July 24th, 1875, at Handersville, Washing ton CoGa No 18 Station C Ii ft for tho pur pose of nominating some proper person as a military General of tho second District of Goorgia to be com missioned by tlie Gov' ornor of tho State, and also appoint a couu ty chairmun of the executive committee of each county in the State of Ga. to send 35 deicgkbis with a ligal credential to repre sent thiro ecunities and <?w*t their Ballard for said a nomination.

The closiuK exercises of tho Liberty Hill Public Colored School of Lee county, Ala., tauKht. by Thomas H. Rico, occurred Fri day night, and we wore greatly surprised and highly gratified at the excellent dis cipline displayed in all of its departments. The rapid advancement and great profi ciency of tho pupils is the highest recom mendation we could confer on the toaoher, and should any future appointment for teacher bo made for this school, we ex tend to Thomas S. Rice, tlie present incum bent, our most cheerful and unanimous recommendation for the place. R. W. Moore, E. J. Holley. Board of Trustees. J. F. Buchanan. Clerk of Board. Drvotlaiml Excursion. A large party attended tho devotional excursion of the Rrowneville Hinging School to Mulberry last Sunday. The train was crowded. The day was unusual ly pleasant and everything passed off nicely. There was an abundance of good singing and other devotional exercises. At noon all tho exeuslonists enjoyed the luxury of a good dinner under the cool shade. Mr. B. W. Brand led his school in the singing, and they showed great pro ficiency in music. The train returned in the afternoon and brought book a happy party. We understand that at the solicitation of his pupils ho will got up another excursion te Mulberry in a few weeks. Those who attended that on Bunday will be glad of an opportunity te go agaiu. Tho Brownoville Hinging School is quite large and under the instruction of Prof. B. W. Brand has attained considerable proficiency in the art. Invention. Mr. Fred Meyer mid his assistants nt the Southern mid Atlantic telegraph ot llco, have displayed considerable inventive genius in constructing an apparatus to keep the operator cool while ho is receiv ing a dispatch and writing it off. This work keeps both Ills hands busy, and It. is impossible for him to fan like ordinary mortals. Tlie invention enables him by simply moving his foot up and down to turn a littlo apparatus to which a palm leaf fan is attached, and whose motion keeps tho air around quite cool. The ar rangement Is very simple, but it is quite “eute,” as the girls say, and it enables the operator to be happy even in the hottest, weather. Fancy A Flour, $8 per barrel. Terms cash. Robt. 8. Crane, Trustee, • i'liluese Cucumber. Mr. Hungerford, of the Postoflleo, yes terday brought us a curious specimen of vegetation in tho shape of a Chinese cu cumber. It was exactly in the shape of a snake somewhat coiled up. It had the goneral form of the serpent, head and all. It measured four feet and a half, and was about the sise of a man’s arm. It was an odd looking thing, and no matter how good the vegetable may be we would pre fer ours in some other shape. Postponed. The Baptist festival, which was to have come off to-night In tho church yard, has been postponed until to-morrow night The ladies of t*e church havo made rare preparations for this festival, and liberal public patronage should be bestowed upon It lily Tan*. Mr. Editor : I seo by a notice In the En quirer tliat there wore 159 delinquent tax payers notlfiod t hat as they had not come up and paid their taxes executions would be I gamed against thorn. This would look well in print when our bonds are ad vancing. It is unusual to force taxes so early. It does not give tho prior a chance to get the fall business and trade. I know of a great many widows and orphans that havo not eaten a square meal for months, to try and Sffcvo a little to pay taxes. But hunger overtook them and they had to use It. A great many of them are widows of dead Confederate*. These are the par ties that are pressed so hard by our city fathers. Why press some so hard and lx* so liberal with others? 1 see they havo appropriated sss per month for one to whom our kind citizens were so liberal as to give $l,lOO. I have no objection to all of this, if they don't oppress others that are so much worse off. Be Just and fair. A Citizen. Dentil of I.nl> Frunkllu. The telegraph brings us the sad novfs of Lady Franklin’s death. After long suf fering the end has come peacefully and calmly. The story of her life, her noble, constant lore for him who was dearer to her than all else, her tireless labors to re cover the remains of her lost husband— all this is well known to the public, and the interest felt in the noble woman has been extraordinary. The New York Tri bune speaking of the probability of her death, a few days since, beautifully says: "This woman’s conjugual love was of the grand old heroic model; it took us bock to the days of Cato and Luereatia. We even felt a littlo surprised that the story should have missed its way anti happened in our own ago, among liepanlerod and fashiona ble women, and petty Interminable scan dal-gossip an<l suits in divorce courts.” Floe Yield. Crops are good almost everywhere thin year, but there is a field of cam In Musco gee county which will bear off the palm. Those who have seen it pronounce it the finest that has grown In tho county for many a year. It Is growing atxnit fifteen miles from tho city. Tho happy owner assures us that tho field contains twenty* fivo acres and that it will average forty bushels to the acre. This is the opinion of the neighbors. Tine farmer who has raised this fine crop is young, and a few morosuch abundant yields will give Mm n fair start towards independence and wealth. St, Louis Pearl Grits sc. per pound at • Robt. B.

Letters of importance were delayed, and there was a dearth of Northern news. Tho cause of the deten tion is not known. It is to lx) hoped it will not occur again soon, as it causes no little inconvenience. Had It been any other day but Sunday newspapers would have been in a most deplorable condition. _ Nice. J. B. Ivey & Bro. have the nicest ar rangement for keeping melons cool we havo ever seen. They are placed in a re frigerator, ami the water from tlie melt ing too drips on them all day and all night, too. A melon from such a place, on these days, is so much happiness. Mixed Pickles 50c. per gallon at * Crank’s. Hop. We return thanks for an invitation to attend tho hop at Villa Reich last evening, and regret our inability to accept. We learn thut It was a nice affair, admirably managed, and attended by quite a number oj belles and beaux. Such little entertain ment# enliven these dull evenings. I.iirtfc Owl. Little Sid Lloyd and some other boys chased an owl from St. Luke Church yard yesterday afternoon. After pursuing him for two or tbreo squares, Sid shot the bird with a pistol in the head. Ho was a mon ster, and measured throe feet eight inches from tip to tip. This is tho biggest owl on record in these parts. Until) lltlten. We hoard yesterday that a negro girl was badly torn to plooes by a dog near the residence of Mr. L. L. Cowdory, In this city.

D. Casey. jrS tf HEW* FROM MARION. room <K>QI>—APPEARANCE OF THE CAT ERPILLAR. Glenalta, July 15th, 1875. Mr. Editor*: On tho road from Buena Vista to Box Springs, we find maqy enter prising small farmers, and crops look well. We were particularly struck with the Goshen farm. Hero tho corn is fine, and we wf*o Informed tho yield of wheat and oats was abundant. Anew ground was broken up ami planted in peas only, in rows three feet apart. Wo believe it a a good idea, ami that it will prove more profitable than com and peas. We have traveled all the roads from Glenaita to Columbus, ami havo inspected pretty thoroughly that belt of piney woods coun try about fifteen miles wide, extending from tho Flint to the Chattahoochee riv ers, and we pronounce it a fair country, in which any industrious farmer can malic "plenty to spare." The lands are cheap, climate pure, timber plenty, water good, railroad and market near. What more can an industrious immigrant want! To such this county offers a happy home. The crops on the rood from Glenalta to Buena Vista are fine. Jus€ below the lat ter place lives an unsuccessful grocer, who makes a successful farmer. Hero wo saw some large line onion*—oighteen growing from one button. Mule-baek we rode over Mr. T. L. R’s farm, who has the best cropßlnee the war—be i* another hog-and hominy farmer, and we were amused to sec the gentleman himself role in a wheel barrow’ slop to his hogs which are fat, now weighing about 15011)8. each, and he says: "I expect to make them flue, as my oom is good." Last winter he bought the Davis place -good frame dwelling and other out houses, gin house and screw, 800 acres of land, 200 acres in the woods, for $1,600, and expects, and we think reasonably too, to make tho money clear on this crop. A Columbus lawyer oneo owned this place and lost money every year, trying to make all cotton and no corn, we suppose, for his mules were always poor—the legitimate result of such a policy. Next we come to Mr. J. M. A., and here witness a bee-rob bing at midday. A large bunch of bees were outside, when he blew smoke from bi smudge upon them and they retired, fie gentled them by smoking and wrap ping upon the gum several times—threw it down and knocked the head partly off, blow in smoke but could not drive the bees away, because they had very little honey. Removing the hood ho took out all the honey, covered with bees, which ho sc raped into the gum. These bees seemed to leas harmless as a house tty, and much more gentle, for he handled thorn with impuni ty. This gum had been robbed once be fore this year and the honey was new, and we iiad some for dinner, to which the grxxl wife called us from the honev-taking. To give you an idea how we cat down hare, we have with us a little throe-and-a half year old girl, from tho chill and fever lands of Box Springs, who ate, at one meal, five roasting e irs. Watermelons we cat when we can; gathering thorn every morning fresh from the vine. The crops on Crooked creek are fine. Hero is the best field of cotton we have seen; It Is on sandy land, highly manured with stable manure. Tho seed of which are an improvement on the Dixon. As many as seven grown bolls on a stalk. On one stalk we saw four whiter and four red blooms; on another seven red and one white. Tho owner expects to bcikl to Co lumbus the first bale of new cotton, by wagon, this year. He has a pea, called the Tennessee Crowder, that will remain in the ground all tho winter and come up tho next spring. He sowed wheat last fall after corn, and these peas, since the wheat was cut have come up, and have already commenced running. Such a pasture we seldom see. If the farmers would use these peas they could save tho expense of sowing and ploughing in stubble after wheat and oats, and also realize a rich coat of peaviue to turn under in the fall for green manure. He has tried these peas in this way for several years, and they have never failed to come up. There Is a farm in this neighborhood run by young men; one of them clerked in a gro cery store in Columbus last winter, and lost his position on account of liard times. Ho came to the country and went to ploughing, reducing himself from 175 te* 140 pounds. He is thin, but stands by his post- noble boy- to plough rather than loaf. Tho boys of this farm have not yet learned to make corn to the neglect of cot ton. Their corn has grass in the drills, but it may fill out well, if it continues sea sonable. Their cotton Is promising. On Sunday we attended a largo Sunday school, whose superintendent Is Judge G, W. Lowe, tho Ordinary of Marion county. The first Sunday-school wo ever attended was near tills spot, Tho older people we know; the younger are strangers te us. As we look on our minds run back to the days of yore, when mother and father use to worship around this altar. They are buried in tho graveyard near by. Soon the school is opened, and we arc agreeably surprised at the singing. They have a small organ, which is used only in the Sunday-school, prejudice being too st rong against education to allow the use of any Instrument when tho great congregation assembles to worship. Trenching by tho Rev. Mr. McWilliams. Subject; Forgive ness. July 11th—-Our hopes are blighted; the caterpillar fly has made its appearance beyond a doubt. This evening, while walk ing over the farm of Mr. James M. Armor, wbd, like myself, has suffered often from tho ravages of the caterpillar, we dis covered, chased and captured two flies, which we pronounced the very caterpillar fly, sure. He puts out his lamp to-night. Wo now close for some time, as we have written you all we have seen or heard Strange since wo left town. Yours, Luxe. WllhotV* Tonic—A Safe. Hurt* uml Mr I co mic Csrp.

It will be an entertainment of unusual at tractions. The number of new pavements on Broad street is cheering. How nicely tho side walks would look if they had nothing else but that pretty patent pavement. Moonlight pistol practice is the latest fun on the river banks. A fun of a differ ent and more tender kind has been going on in the same locality for a long time, There is music in moonlight under some circumstances. Warm weather is not <x>ngvnial to tho midnight thief. His depredations have almost ceased. He is resting for next winter’s work. The South Georgia Conference will meet in Amerieus next December and a thought ful citizen has already began to prepare for it. He is paying particular attention to his henery. New flour has begun to come iu and housewives are happy. The Alabama river is lower than it has been in many years before. The Chatta hoochee is getting very much "down in the mouth." Fishing and seining are the favorite amusements at Onwichie now. Croquet engages some degree of attention. Muscogee county cows are the most im pudent of their kind. They stand on tlie track of the Southwestern Railroad until tlie locomotive is in ten feet of them and then slowly walk as if getting out of the way was a matter of indifference. A moonlight ride Sunday night over ten miles of good toad, beside u fair compan ion and behind a fast horse, was a pleas ure worth enjoying. The fortunate mor tal whom choice threw in this position, ought to have laid up enough happiness to last him a week. Georgia railroads are now using just enough hands to carry on their business. About two roads In the State keep busy during the summer. Hurry up your cotton and get in the first bale. You can get twenty five cents a pound for it easily. A few first bah* would make a farmer fool somewhat in dependent. The watermelon thief is abroad in the land, and some of tlie old darkles who have patches near this city say that if present operations are not stopped "smn thin’s gwineto happen." The question which perplexes the aver age young man is what will tako tlie bumps off of his face and what will put a moustache on. The Georgia Railroad is the sort of a road to have stock in. The directors have just declared a dividend of $168,009. Throe Democratic newspapers iu Cali fornia are edited by women. Two of the present graduating elass of Yale will enter the field of journalism. It is strange what a magnetic attraction there is between the peaches on a fruit stand and the hand of a small boy who is looking in another direction. It is true thieves are rare now, but when one does hapjxm to venture out our police men cut his career very short. They have been quite vigilant and successful lately in the capture of law-breakers. If you want to six* a picture of perfect happiness just drop a nickel on the side walk and from some secret place watch the small street boy pick it up. Verily, his joy is great and Vanderbilt is a pau per compared to him. Virginia farmers say if tho rains do not conso very soon up that way that crops will lie considerably damaged. We would like to have tlie refreshing showers in this region if they are going to do so much harm up there. borne of the finest pictures we ever saw are at Williaras’ art gallery. They are the very images-of life itself, and have a finish which only accomplished artists can give them. Iteoolleetkmß of tho war are frequently embodied in books, and several scores of such volumes have already appeared. Cannot some old Confederate in Columbus tell the world the story of his toils and dangers. Keep your eyes open for the new postal cards. They will be out in a few days and will be very good looking. Tho season of green apples has about gone and once more nature is quiet and healthy. River freights are at their lightest now. St. Paul Church was crowded Sunday night. Rev. J. 0. Branch preached a fine sermon to the large congregation. The plan of holding union services at night for a few weeks seems to work well and please all. Refreshments and at tho Baptist Festi val to-night. Atlanta gives one cent a pound for ice. We waltz to the tunc of two cents and a hair. Ki>oaking of the poem "She who rocks tho cradle rules the world,’’ the Memphis Aralancke says: "In this section she is generally a girl, and we don’t believe a word of it." The Augusta (bnutitutionalist wants Jef ferson Davis elected Chancellor of the Uni versity of Georgia, and next to him its choice is Hon. L. (J. C. Lamar, of Missis sippi. Tho English people seem to be beginning te appreciate the genius of the 19th centu ry. The Byron monument will bean hon or to the nation. Hummer gnats and big green flies have just begun their tormenting operations. Southwest Georgia asks for rain. Mus cogee county makes the request very earn estly. Cheer up!

A few months after tho death of her husband she saw your advertisement, and came to our store and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us. and tgok it according to di rections. it has cured her sound and well, brought her regular monthly peri ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—with the use of but two bot tles of your Regulator, costing her only three dollars, when site had tried several physicians and spent a great deal or money without anv benefit.
