POETS CORNER.

John Anderson, my Joe John. when first
We were acquaint"
You thought me an angel dear, took you
for a saint
But now, old Time has thrown his shadows
full across our way.
Perhaps you have changed John, of this
cannot say
But one thing we'll know, John, my mind
is still the same
AS when. beneath the hawthorn tree, you
asked to change my name
| loved you then, love you now, with a
heart that's warm and true,
And thro' all the years we've left behind
has never known but you.
have never dressed in satins, John, and
silks never knew
My toilet was the simplest kind, my dresses
plain and few,
But plenty TO cat we have always had, and
of the very best,
And the stranger at our board, John, was
ever welcome guest.
And now the years are lengthening and
their shadows round us fall
As we wait the final summons, that comes
to US one and all
And this advice TO all we freely give, ere

Is to always buy your Groceries at the ia

and defendants retired from the court room,
and became engaged in fight. Reese re-
ceiving stab in the breast, neck and thigh.

The concert given for the benefit of st.
James Episcopal Church, on last Monday
night, at Nichols Hall, was attended
by an appreciative audience, and was a sue
cess in every particular Professor Wurm's
orchestra from Atlanta delighted and
pleased the audience by their fine and
superb music eliciting enconiums on every
side. Mr. g. w. Benson's solo was excel
lent, and just such as he is capable OF rem
derlng on all occasions. The several pieces
rendered by the full chorous composed of
Mr.. G. w. Benson, Hon. Frank Irwin, DIR.
John Greer, Mr.. Webster Cole Mrs. Cor
telyou, Mrs. J. d. Buttolph, Miss
Howell, Miss Mary Cole. Miss Copper and
Miss Mary Strong, with Miss Maggie
Nichols at the piano, were well received
and duly applauded. The chorus and
duett, "We'll sing you little song
seemed to provoke the mirth Of the audi
ence amazingly,sn its repetition was the
only thing that would appease the clamor
of the audience. The fine singing of Mr.
r. II. McCrystal and Mrs. Dykeman, Of
Atlanta, possessors OF rich, musical voices,
met the warmest appreciation of delighted
audience, and for the second time each
was recalled to favor the audience with
some of their choice renditions. Marietta S
favorte, Miss Copper, sustained herself
with usual credit, and appeared at the call
of the audience for the second time. She
has a voice full Of melody and sweetness.
Miss Mary Madden, we think, is one OF the
finest piano performers we ever heard Her
execution is almost faultless. The appearance
of Prof F. L. Freyer, the inimitable violin
ist. was the occasion Of rapturous applause
For some half hour he delighted his hear
! ers as only Freyer can. The entire pro
gramme was q fine one, and creditably rem
dered and We are glad TO know tie enter
tainment was a success pecuniarily.

929 in October, 1881. During the
four months ended October 81. 1881
239, 734 Immigrants arrived in this
country, but during the same period
of the present year only 203, 1856 en-
tered The failing off is partly due
to the passage of the anti.Chinese
bill but there is also decline in
the number Of arrivals from nearly
every European country. On the
whole, il is not discouraging 20 think
that this is the case. We can &C
commodato great many people,
but such tremendous influx as that
of last year is hardly to be desired.

Burnt to Death.

On last Saturday, on the farm of Mr. W.
NJ. Dobbs, in this county, a little negro
girl years old, named Anna Banks was
left in company with other children in the
cabin home by her mother. One of the
children set fire to Annals clothing. The
elder girl, instead of putting out the fire,
picked up the baby and ran off to tell her
mother. In the meantime Anna became
alarmed as the flames began to envelope
her form and she jumped in the bed. As
this did not extinguish the fire, but only
communicated the flames to the bed cloth
ing, she jumped out of that bed and crawl
ed under another bed in the room. Her
father Ransom Banks, arrived on the scene
by this time, and called Anna from under
the bed, only to find her clothing burnt of,
and her flesh burnt to a crisp. She lived
about one hour and died in great agony.
The bedding was pulled out of the house
and the building was thereby saved from
destruction.
