THE SAVANNAH R 5
Monday, January 20, 1879,
GEORGIA NEWS.
Mr. Samuel Bond, of Macon, was
thrown from a wagon near Montezuma,
the other day and killed.
It is with sorrow that we learn from
the Clipper of yesterday of the death of
Judge Welborn, which took place at
his residence in Warrenton, on Tues¬
day evening last. Judge Welborn has
lived a long and useful life, and goes to
his reward full of deeds of noble charity.
State School Commissioner Orr, an
indefatigable official and most excellent
gentlemen, is sanguine that the intro¬
duction into Georgia of the Moffet
Bell Punch system will be productive
of the happiest results to the cause of
education, without working injury to
anybody save the topers.
On Friday, 10th inst., as Mr. McKin¬
non, a large turpentine distiller, accom¬
panied by Mr. J. M/Shaw, the well
known saw mill man at the forty mile
post, B. &. A. R. R., were driving in
a buggy to Blackshear, the horse took
fright when at the Satilla river, draw¬
ing the buggy over a stump and up¬
setting the occupants. Mr. McKin¬
non’s shoulder blade was broken and
Mr. Shaw had his left arm broken near
the wrist. Both were badly bruised
up. They repaired to Blackshear where Al¬
they received surgical attention.—

A fatal affray occurred in Putnam
county on Friday night. Tom Pearson,
a very respectableyoung hands, planter, while mis¬
settling with his had some
understanding with them, when five of
them attacked him. One negro head pulled
him down by the hair of his and
another ran and secured an ax to
butcher him, when Pearson fired on the
negro holding him, mortally wounding
him, and continued firing at the others,
who fled. The homicide and attending
circumstances created much excitement
in this community. As has been stated,
4 highly respectable and
Pearson is a
gentlemardy young man.

Okefetnokean will be conducted as
usual by its present editor and propri¬
etor at DuPont, Clinch county, Ga. The
Spirit of the limes will be published at
Jasper, Hamilton county, Fla., with
the editor and proprietor of the Okefe
nokcan as editor and proprietor. The
two papers will be in no way connected
with each other. We are going to run
two papers in two States, is the sum¬
ming up of the whole. We make this
explanation in consideration of the fact
that there seems to be a general mis¬
understanding in regard to our busi¬
ness— Okefenokean.
It is gratifying to perceive that work
on our much talked abont narrow
gauge railroad is a thing of reality, and
the road is now being built on its de¬
signed bed, instead of on paper as has
been heretofore the case. Three car
loads of cross ties arrived here yester¬
day on the M. & G. Railroad for the
N. & S. Railroad. A large lot of iron
has also arrived, and another lot is now
on its way here. A carload of cross
ties and another of iron were shipped
at once to the present terminus and
will be laid down as last as circum¬
stances will permit. The Hamiltonians
can soon ride in a direct and comforta¬
ble manner to visit their Columbus
friends.— Columbus Enquirer.
The Fort Valley Mirror says : “On
Wednesday Mr. Allen Davis, an old
gentleman who was living on Dr.
Fleurney’s place, went into the lot with
the doctor's son, Joe, to catch Reuben,
the doctor’s mule, both The mule parties being Mr.
armed with sticks. ran
Davis down and jumped or fell upon
him, when Joe hit him and drove him
off, but. as the mule rose he kicked the
old gentleman on the effects temple, which breaking
the skull, from the of he
died that night. The mule is a regu¬
lar fighter and is well known as dan¬
gerous, so much so that rre> one but Dr.
Flourny and his little son ever attempts
to handle him. It is a pity that he
does not belong to some one able to
blow bis brains out.

The Evening Ledger. On last Tues
day morning we published a card in '

the
for an evening paper, as impracticable
for Macon. We did *his reluctantly
and against our judgment, but it was
so continually held up to. ns by almost
every one that our paper couldn't suc¬
ceed, that we finally threw up and de¬
termined upon a first-class weekly in
its stead. Were we right in the begin¬
ning ? We think so, and our card has
demonstrated it, for many of the sub¬
stantial men of the town have rallied
to us and urged - us to go ahead with
our decided original enterprise, and we have
so to do.
It is due the public to say that we
ghosts are not of frightened at the spooks and
dead predecessors. We start
at least on a substantial basis, out of
debt and at a time when political is¬
sues, local, State and National are di¬
viding always our people. We shall strive
to deserve your patronage. If
we do and you extend it we will take
care of ourselves.
The Evening Ledger will appear on
clock Monday afternoon next, the 20th, 4 o’¬
number being our publication hour. This
is our regular Sunday edition,
to be greatly improved typographically,
when our new heading and other ma¬
terial is in hand.
Death of Mark A. Huson. Griffin
News : “ At the residence of his sister,
Mrs. W.W.Woodruff, near Griffin, died
yesterday The morning Mr. Mark A.Iiuson,
deceased was a resident of Terrell
county, but was born and reared in
Griffin. He had been visiting for some
time with the family of his brother-in
law, Mr. W. W. Woodruff. He was
taken ill but a short while ago with
pneumonia, and almost before his
friends were aware of his danger, went
to his last rest.”

Prince William of Prussia, the eldest
son of the Crowu Prince, and the fu¬
ture Emperor, has a very great skill in
playing the violin—a skill which he
acquired by taking lessons in private,
without his father’s knowledge, at
Bonn, where he is a student. Not
long ago the Crown Prince, who likes
popular tunes, ordered a Hungarian
band now staying at Berlin, to play at
one of his family gatherings.
Cardinal babrequini, who died re

See, during the pontificates of four
Popes. He was made oue of the cham¬

Napoleon ployed July, 1830. Pius VIII era

The property-holders of Washington
claim that the mortality in Congress is
not due to “the unhealthy atmosph ere
of Washington.” They claim that of the
six congressmen who have died within
a year, Leonard, of Louisiana, died of
yellow fever in Cuba; Welsh, of Nebras¬
ka, of pneumonia at his home; Douglass,
ofVirginia, of intemperance; Williams,
of Michigan, of apoplexy; Hartridge,
of Georgia, of pneumonia, and Schlei¬

the adult son, having lost both hands),
two children of a dead brother and an
invalid sister. After Mr. Checkley’s
death it was ascertained that the large
