| in the life of Mr.. Jacob Shaner, who was
murdered in Gainesville, not long ago. Mr..
Shaner fought in the Confederate army and
after the war went to see his relatives in
Pennsylvania His brothers closed their
doors in his face and refused to have any
thing to do with him. He returned South
and vowed that his brothers should not
have cent of his money at his death. But
Mr.. Shaner, being bachelor, delayed max
ing a will, and on the night Of the 2Sth OF
January last he was murdered by unknown
parties. Now his brothers in Pennsylvan-
ia, who closed their doors in his face, be-
cause he fought in the rebel army, will get
some So, 600 worth of Mr.. Jacob Shaner's
property. We dare say that they will
throw wide open their doors to entertain
| their 'rebel" brothers money.

..As to Teas, we would advise you, if
YOU really want first class Tea to call at
Leake & McCrea's. They don't keep low
priced or trashy Teas and you want that
kind better call elsewhere.
About three weeks ago Mr.. W. p.
Stephens butcher slaughtered COW, and
in her paunch was found hat iull of nails,
some hair pins, a shoe-buttoner, and small
gold tablet on which is engraved the ten
commandments Evidently she ate the
milkmaid, or her owner had been feeding
her on scrap iron in oder to sell her by
weight. Certainly she had more religion in
her paunch, than many man carries in his
heart.
The truck of the Marietta Hook and
Ladder Company arrived last Friday. 1t is
clompete and beautiful. 1t weighs about
1900 pounds and cost $3.50. The boys have
been practcing with it since and manage it
admirably. Marietta is well equipped for
fighting fire. She has a steam fire engine,
a hand engine and hook and ladder. A
few more cisterns OF water are needed, how
ever.
...D1ED.-Rev J. Fl. George, highly
esteemed and well known Episcopal Minis
ter, died at his residence in this place on
last Tuesday afternoon, in the 10th year Of
his age His remains will be carried 10
Griffin for interment. The burial services
will take place at the Episcopal Church
to-day, Thursday, at half past II O'Clock,
promptly. We deeply sympathise with his
bereaved family IN their loss.
...EDIToRs Observation-Disclosures has
proven to my satisfaction that pulling the
dirt from peach trees so as to expose the
roots to the cold, in December and January
and keeping said dirt away until April, will
retard and cause the trees, to bloom later,
thereby escaping the late frost. 1t also
tends to freeze and kill the egg of the borer,
so disastrous to peach orchards.
