It pairs us this week to announce the death of the gentleman whose name appears above, which sad event occurs red in this place at an early hour on Sunday morning last. Mr. Denaux had boon a resident of Calhoun lor a little more than two years. lie was a man, who in life possessed a warm and genial heart for all mankind, and having a lov ing wife and bright little children depen dent upon him for earthly maintenance, Nruggled hard against the treacherous waves of this earth’s misfortunes to rear a family whose works should be a liv* ing evidence of an exalted purpose on his part. In the spring of ’75 he be* eame a member of the Bap ist church, a nd during his short Christian life lived ! ' n example to his fellow-men, being a devout and consistent follower of Him who bore the Cross, his upright course ’ ! 1 the evening of life bringing that h'dy peace which makes the dying bed soft as downy pillows are;” and his departing expressions bore evidence of a calm resignation to a dissolution of , c earthly tabernacle for a final rest V,lt h the faithful who have crossed over 1° *he golden shores. The deceased ‘ves a stricken family whose mourn -1 tribulations have brought forth the ni pathies of a charitable community, the sorrowing survivors have been ar ' ( . r ‘ B hed objects of cheering woids (,f . niu teria l sustenance.

Calhoun versus Dalton. Ljst Saturday the Crawford boys, of j Daiton, came down un a challenge from i the Cher; kees, of this place, to play ■ the second of three games which by ' consent was to decide the relative skill | of the two clubs. After fortifying thein selvej with dinner the Cherokee boys were out early, apparently eager to regain the lmrcls lost in a game with the same contestants some two weeks since. The second baseman sauntered cut Dom the Lack room of a stove where be had just rigged himself in his new playing gear,when a suspicious looking youth who hadn't carefully studio the scieuco of the game confronted him and began to laugh so heartily that our indignant player pointed to his scanty shin3 and asked him to take a bite, whereupon the youth stared more than ev-er and said with triumph “There aint a bi to of’em,” and cautioned him to keep out of the way of the big play ers. 'I bis created a laugh all round,and the spectators began to gather on the grounds. Col. Kiker stuck a match to his pipe called the play and the game began to wax warm. The score ran up at the second inning to 14 to 1 m favor of Dalton, and Cherokee SiOek took a downward tendency, but the boys took in the situation at a glance and resolved to mend it. The right fielder stretched himself for a tall fiy and caught it on his nose,the nimble catcher screwed up his enthusiasm and the thing beganto change a little. The game was so close that no one veutured to say who was ahead when the final tally was to be called,but when the score was called out : 34 to 32 in tavor of Calhoun, the tioys cheered lustily and enjoyed their victo ry* Long is the lane that has no turn. — The Cherukcos took another pull at the Dalton boys on their own g r ounds on Thursday and carni back home af ter a square defeat. But they say it is their time next, and are desolvcd upou anothor natch at an early day. FIRE AMD Ellin St ARY. A Haid on the I’ouniy Treasury- Last Monday morning between the hours of three and four, the alarm of fire was sounded from which an excited crowd were soon on our streets. It was ascertained that the firo was at the store of Mr. J. 13. Arthur, County Treasurer, and the crowd gathered in to find the doors wide open and a large iron sale standing with its interior ex posed, while a fire caused by the burn ing of some books had made a ghastly hole in the floor near the safe. The first discovery of the fire was made by Robert Cantrell and Pres. BHck, who were sleeping over the store, and felt the smoke and heat from an ocen window. The alarm was raised and the crowd which gathered soon extinguish ed the fire, and upon examination it was found that somethirg near one hundred and thirty five dollars in cur rency, the larger portion .of which belonged to the County Treasury, was missing from the safe and the books burned on the floor were those cf the County Treasurer. A silver watch had boeu taken from the safe but was left lying on the floor and was badly injur ed by burning. A package oi money deposited by a private gentleman was found in one or the pigeon holes cf the safe which had bon overlocked. A party of horsemen was soon made up and with the hounds belonging to Mr. J. T. Black a pursuit was attempted, but with out success. It was the op nion oi ma ny that tire fire was a piece ot strategy attempted to cover up traces of discove ry by bringing a crowd toge f her from all parts of tow i anu confusing tire trail by which mode it had become known some successful captures had been made. — The occurrence was unfortunate and it is hoped that the perpretrators may be brought to a strict justice.

Gentlemen and fellow-citizens, un fortunately, in the Southern States since the war political preferment and posi tion have been sought afte* for selt-ag* grandizement and plunder, The arena of politics has been so uninviting that few good honest and true men have dared to engage in these disgusting po litical struggles. This unhappy condi - tion in our political affairs has virtually ended, but poverty, commercial disas ter, financial ruin, busiu-ss stagnation, debt and taxes are the legitimate fruits of great political coriuption.

Abolish every office that is of no actual practical benefit to the State. There are seri.us obstacles in the way of reform in the organic law oi the State. Hence lam in favor of amending in the most practical man ner to protect the people iu the future against bad aud unwise legislation, stand by the right, battle for reform ami retrenchment in every department of the government, and unite with men of honesty and integrity to uphold virtue truth and justice. If summoned b tl;e suffrage of mj countrymen. I sha endeavor to be the efficient instrameml of ‘heir well being. J L Ca>U*. REFORM IS THE WATCHWORD. Democrats aud C itizens, Kaliy !
