The Wiregrass.
Sing me a song of tlO Wiregrass
The land of corn an i apple Hass,
Os buttermilk and 'i itntnon beer,
Os open doors ami homely cheer,
The land of beacon corn and hay
Dispute King Cotb n’s lordly sway
And ’tarter banks r se mountain high
Red roses bloom ai d maidens sigh
The land where mutes forget to balk
And ’possums waddle when the walk
v ' here time has no displaced .the cooks
Whose perfect art ? not taught in books;
The land wherein I le old smoke house
Stjll harbors saneag.-, lutn and scuse,
The land of goober., peas and beans.
Os crisp corn po.j nd collard greens,
The land whore kv< I melon fields
Give rarest fruit an 1 richest yields,
Where girls are fairer, kinder truer,
Clouds sorter seem ind skies are bluer.

AGAIN HEARD FROM.
Sunday a week ago at the reei -
de nee of Mr John MeCoinick Mr
Thomas Newberry and Miss Julia
Knight were united in bonds of
holy wedlock, we hope the young
ccuple a voyage of happiness over
the sea oi life.
The little village of Lucile is
shrouded in mourning owing to
fire originsting in the store of
Roberts & Roberts on last Wed
nesday night, consuming that store
and also the store of Houston Bros.
Dr Chas. Bueb kept hia drugs in
the store of Ruberts & Robeits and
they were a total hies.
Roberts & Roberts were partially
insured.
Houston Bros, carried no in
surance butth&y laved most ofj
thr.r goods. , —,,.-4
store of Houston Bros aud they
were all saved. We regret very
much the futnre prospects of this
prosperous litiie village alter
.AND TORN OFF
tiuturday morning about 10 o’ekck
ou Spring Creek several miles be
low V\ bite’s Bridge Mr Marion
Grimes, more familiarly known as j
“Buddie” Grimes had bis right
band torn away.
After the painful accident the
yonug gentleman bad a suspender
cut from bis shouldtr split open
and bis arm tightly bandaged.
He had bis fathers mule and
buggy at the creek, and be pro
cured the services of aoolojedman
• to drive him here, to the home of
bis parents. Air and Mrs W. J.
Grimes-
Tbe vehicle containing the Miffer
<r wis driven up to t' fi bun e ot A r
Grimes al>ou* 2 o’clock P. M. about
fotr Lours after the accident.
Ptiysicaus, Drs Cook Hays
and Dr. 0. B Bush dressed the
wound.
The young gentleman we hear
refuses to tt 11 the particulars of the
painful accident, but it is inferred
by bis being so reticent that an ex- 1
plosion of dynamite tore off the i
member.
The loss of his right baud is
deeply deplored by all wrio know
yoang Mr Grimes.
Men who have recklifc*ly and
almost openly violated theiiw in
killing fish with dynamite are
charged by thoughtful men with
being partly responsible for young
Mr Grimes having to go through
life without the use of his right
hand.
The young man never had the
! example set by bis father for Mr.
Jeff Grimes’ acquaintances an
well aware that he has always op
posed the use of dynamite in kill
| ing fish.
b ving been blighted thus. At
t e completion ts the Blakely
tS juthern the future was looking
bright. It lies been nipped in the
bud of its infancy. Opnions differ
a■ to the origen of the fire, some
t link that it was set on fire by
r its with tnatches between the
wall and ceiling, while some think
it is the work of an incendiary.

DENIED A NEV

Court of an attempted assault t , )n

entertained at his home aud \ , ()

granted a new trial.
The case was stubbornly for • (
by the plaintiff and by the defeii
ant, for Drew Roberts is connect, j
by relationship with romeos i 4
good families as there are in th ,
section, and by his industry he bn.|
! gained a competence and he ha |
the confidence of many.
For several days prior to th .
ugly affair it is said that the de
fendant had been under the in
fluence io intoxicants, beer ant
whiskey.
He has’no children, but a most
exbellent woman for a wife, and
there is much sympathy manifested;
for her. e ?
She is a devoted wife. Prior ist
her marriage she was Miss
McLendon and she was only th ir- ’
teen years old when they were mar
ried.
We hear that that the defendant
expresses an intention of abiding
by the decision.
