A It HAVE WOMAN AND DAUGHTER.
Yesterday afternoon wo were made ac
quainted with the circumstances of an at
tempted suicide. We called to sec the af
flicted family, and found them not dispos
ed to be communicative. The subject of
trouble was stubborn, and refused to bo in
terviewed, but the wife and daughter told
us
SOME OF TIIB.CniOUMSTANCEH.
It soeips that a man numed Horace Hen

Florida, and engaged In any kind of busi

while ho has failed to secure any work,

ills devoted wife did all sl*> could to
clioor his drooping spirits, and anticipa
ting that lie intended taking his life,
watched him by day and night.
YESTERDAY,
while everybody was making arrange
ments to celebrate the Christmas holidays,
he decided to take tho life that had been
given him, and went deliberately to work
to accomplish his determination. It soems
ho counted upon the chances of detection,
and closed every avenue to detection. He
wont in roar of tho dwelling house, and
into an old smoke-house, and then tried to
HANG HIMSELF.
He might have succeeded but for the
noise ho made in kicking over the box upon
which ho stood. In flls struggles the box
was kneckod over, and his wife’s attention
was attracted by the noise. She hastily
placed the box in position and calling for
tier daughter to bring a knife, suc
ceeded in cutting him down
Ijeforo strangulation occurred. With
tho assistance of a neighbor his almost
lifeloes body was convoyed Into tho house.
After a fow minutes ho was all right,
though ills faco was discolored by tho sus
pension. Ho expresses himself as very
penitent and really sorry for the cowardly
attempt to rid himself of the
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THIS WORLD
by resorting to self-destruction. His wile
and daughter are unable to account for
the rash net. They say they aro totally
ignorant of any cuuso that would load
him to such a conclusion, but an intimate
friend says it results from an inability to
got enough work, and a too great fond
ness for whiskey. We think from all we
could (jather that

wore tho prime causes—poverty, because
he drank too much whiskey; and too much
whiskey, because ho thought himself too
weak. Such conduct was a nice Christmas
present for a wife!

Orphan*’ Home.
About throe years ago the South Georgia
Conference of tho Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, established an Orphans
Home, noar Macon, Oa., and appointed
Kov. Samuel Anthony as the agent to or
ganize and establish the institution upou
a permanent basis. Ho secured an eligible
Homo, valued at SIO,OOO, whero thirty chil
dren, without father or mother, have been
fed end clothed, and aro being educated
and taught to work. At the recent session
of tho South Georgia Conference, Rev. Mr.
Anthony resigned his position and Rev. L.
B. Payne was appointed in his stead. This
gentleman Is now in the field, and will can
vass our city and all of that part of the
State within tho bounds of tho South
Georgia Conference, raising supplies to
sustain this institution. We feel assured
that no interest that could be presented,
would more readily enlist tho cordial co
operation of tho public.
Mayor'* Court. X
It was a groat pity that the law altows
a Mayor’s Court, just before Christmas,
for every year somebody is prevented from
enjoying tho holidays on accouut of bad
behavior a few days in advance. Just such
luck bofell Nett Doreoy yesterday. She
got drunk in advanoo of the rules aud
regulations, and the police took tier up.
She says thoy wore jealous becauso sho
could buy whiskey and thoy could not;
yet tho Mayor thought that was a poor
excuse and as the police always have
enough, whether bought or not Nett is
a littlo inclined to be duck-legged, and
somowhat bandy-shanked, and on account
of these little irregularities, and hor bad
conduct, she will remain in the guard
house live days, and only enjoy Christmas
as sho hears the festive Are crackers in
the distance. Sho may smell a drink as
tho next euiprit passes in, but she is in
clined to bid fair well to Front street
whiskey for at least live days.
John Wynn was charged with being
drunk and disorderly. The Mayor
thought the charge was correct, for in a
fow words ho informed tho Marshal to
collect live dollars and cost. This order
was obeyed, arid John was turnod loose.

The Festival closed last night. Tho suc

two additions wore added to tho Festival—

The regular Tuesday evening services of
the Young Men’s Christian Association
have not been discontinued, though Its
other meeting lias been suspended dur
ing the winter. On next Tuesday evening
there will boa praise and thanksgiving
meeting at tho usual place—tho locture
room of the Presbyterian Church. Every
member of the Association and tho public
generally arc req nested to attend the meet
ing. Tho service will be of an interesting
character, provided there is a sufficient
attendance to make it such. Let all here
tofore careless in attending, endeavor to
bo present on this occasion. In this the
last meeting of tills year there should be
no lack of interest. The Association has
done great good in the cause of Christ,
and by proper management will live to do
much more.
A Murprlae PaHy,
A surprise party, numbering over one
hundrod, met at tho residence of Mr. J. M.
Estes last uight, and from thence repaired
to tho dwelling of Rev. C. A. Kondriek,
pastor of tho Baptist Church. Everything
that could possibly lie imagined was on
hand, all of which were presented to Mr.
Kendrick. Among the elegant presents
was a llne*slxty dollar suit of broadcloth.
Tho articles were all very acceptable, ami
allowed tho high appreciation of their
pastor by his congregation. The crowd
were entertained with music and pleas
antry to a late hour.
Doe* It Pay to AdvertUef
The reason we think it does not pay to
advertise is, because a gentleman adver
tised in the Times for a lost necklace, and
the next day the finder brought it to this
offloo. Now, it cost something to adver
tise it, and, of course, it would have beon
found just as easily without being adver
tised as otherwise, for the finder told us
if lie had not seen the advertisement he
would liavo kept the necklace.

A MtruKftlc tor Appearance.
A St. Louis paper relates an in
stance of tho pride of a child who
struggled to keep up appearances in
a way that was touching to witness.
Tho hopelessness of the endeavor
Was made painfully manifest by the
well meant action of her teacher, and
the facts are these:
Just before the close of the last
session of the public schools in that
city, an incident took place which,
as an illustration, is more than touch
ing. At one of the schools, num
bers of the pupils were in the habit
of bringing a luncheon with them,
which at noon they ate together.
Among those who did not go home
for their dinner, the teacher in a par
ticular room noticed a little girl who
always sat looking wistfully at her
playmates wtfen they went out with
their luncheons, but who never
brought anything herself.
The child wus always neatly but
very poorly dad, and one of the
closest students in school hours.
This odd action of the child’s lasted
for some time, when one day the
teacher noticed that the little thing
had apparently brought her dinner
with her. The noon hour came, and
the children took their lunch as usual
and wont out to eat it, the little girl
referred to alone remaining in the
room, with her dinner wrapped up
in paper on the desk before her. The
teacher advanced to the child and
asked her why she didn’t go out with
the rest, at the same time putting out
her hand toward the package on the
desk. Quick as thougt the little girl
clasped her hands over it and ex
cluimed, sobbing:
“Don’t touch it, teacher, and don’t
tell, please ! It’s only blocks !”
And that, was the fact. Having no
dinner to bring, and too proud to re
veal tho poverty of her family, the
child had carefully wrapped up a
number of small blocks in paper und
brought the package to present the
appearance of a lunch! It wus noth
ing; a mere ridiculous incident In
school life; but it was sufficient to
make wiser and older hearts than
hers sad.
D*Mth of Cot. I. T. Blount.
We wish we were able to pen a notice of
this gentleman worthy of his gallantry
and bis Integrity. Col. Joe Blount died
Thursday morning at his mother’s resi
dence, In Talbot county, after a long ill
ness from dyspepsia and chronic diarrhea.
Col. Blount was first engaged in Colum
bus with Maj. W. D. Chipley, the firm be
ing Blount A Chipley. Thoy suspended
business on account of tho arrest of Mr.
Chipley by tlie Fodoral authorities, and
his lojig incarceration in prison for an al
leged conspiracy. Since that time ho was
the senior of Blount A Hannan, engaged
in tho manufacture of plows and farming
Implements. For some time he'has been
in bad health, though ho was constantly
traveling in the interest of his house. He
had a great number of frienfis In Colum
bus, who will regret hearing of his sud
den demise. Ills ago was about 35 years.
Wben the war commenced he was a cadet
at West Point. He entered the service as
a lieutenant in Dearing’s Georgia artille
ry. In the numerous engagements of
the army of Northern Virginia he won the
rank of Captain, and then Major, and at
Heth’s capture of Plymouth, a Federal
supply base on tlie North Carolina coast,
he was promoted on tho field to Lieuten
ant Colonel of Artillery for gallantry. In
that desperate fight he moved his battal
ion of artillery in advance of the Confede
rate line of battle until the last foothold of
tho Federal garrison was taken.
A Very Wad Accident.
Wo learned from passengers on tlie
Western train last night, that Mr. R. Hugh
Nesbit, tho Secretary and Treasury of tlie
Savannah A Memphis Railroad, had met
with a fatal accident. They said he had
been out hunting, and that his dog jumped
on his gun, discharging one barrel, ami
the contents penetrated his side, tore out
one eye, and severed the loft ear from his
head. Superintendent Green, with a special
train, wont after him. Ho was found to
be alive, but in groat suffering. I)r. Bar
rett, the attending physician, expresses
but feeble hopes for his recovery. Wo
hope the report of ids injuries are exag
gerated, and that ho may recover. Mr.
Nesbit has many friends in Columbus,
wlia will deeply regret this accident.
I'brlKtma.* Eve.
Last night—Christmas cve—everything
was lively. An amateur troupe of cornet
players was formed, and until a late hour
they made tho air hideous with untutored
music. Fire-crackers were faintly scat
tered over the sidewalks and a few Roman
candles enlivened tlie occasion. The side
walks were well fillod with ladies and gen
tlemen in search of Santa Claus. Sharp’s
and Layfield’s Boomed to be tlie popular
resorts. All the stores were open until a
late hour, and each seemed to bo driving
a good business.
Hurrah for Christmas! It’s a good in
stitution, but we object to it because it
comes only once a year. %
Cloudy Weaiher.
Yesterday was warm and cloudy. A good
many of our friends who have ordered a
big lot of dressed fowls, find it inconve
nient and unprofitable to have so many on
hand in this weathc*. Oyster and fish
dealers are also complaining of the warm
weather. Housekeepers are rejoicing, and
coal dealers aro grumbling.
More Thieving.
Tho lower part of Broad street is in
fested with thieves. Night before last a
couple of dusky complexionod youths
broke into tho chicken house of a tele
graph operator. They took his Christmas
turkey, and in consequence he has post
poned his Christmas dinner indefinitely.
If ho had only caught the thief, wo think
he would havo dispatched him at a light
ning rate.

Gentlemen—You will please strip us an
other supply of your 'm valuable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been selling it since 1868,
and witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, when
she was married. * Her husband lived two
years and died. She continued in laid
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It hits cured her sound and
well, brought hor regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-duy she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—witli tlie use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without anv benefit. Wishing you
great success with your valuable reme
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
