No person who was present regretted
that he had gone. This remarkable

Of father, mother, FIVE daughters,
seven sons, and one daughter.in-law.
They are all McGibenys, and every

sides soloists on various instruments
The programme last night consisted
of overtures, glees, quartets of
horns, kindergarten songs, violin
quartets, cornet and violin solos,
duets, trios and quartets. The sing
ing and acting of smaller members
of the family, especially Of jamie,
who beats the big drum, was highly
appreciated by the ladies and
children. 1t would be difficult to
find a more musical family GeUe-

WE regret to record a very serious
accident which occurred yesterday
morning to our fellow-townsman,
Mr.. Joseph Pearce. While attempt
.ing to house a Jersey bull which
had been left in the yard over night,
the animal turned upon him, knock
ing him down and goring him Sc
verely about the head and chest,
breaking his jaw bone and some of
his ribs, and also breaking his right
arm near the wrist, besides iniicting
severe bruises on various parts of
his body and probably serious in
ternal injuries. Mr.. Pearce had the
presence Of mind to hold on to the
chain attached to the animals nose,
thus keeping his head close to the
ground, or otherwise he would no
doubt have been killed outright.
The animal also attacked Mrs.
Pearce who came to her husband s
assistance, knocking her down and
afterwards cornering her against a
post, but notwithstanding Mr.. P.'s
crippled condition he succeeded in
rescuing her, with the aid of fence
rail, and she escaped with slight
injury. Mr. Pearce's son, DR. w. j.
Pearce, of Cobb, was summoned by
telegraph, and in company with DR.,
Cosens, of this village, is doing
everything possible for his fathers
relief; and although the case is a
very critical one we hope their eff
forts may be successful DodgeejlJe

A YOUNG man with a revolver shot
at The Chronicle Office, in Dodge
Vile last week, and those who wit
messed the feat said he actually hit
it. There was no evidence that he
was shooting at the editor of that

there is always such convincing
argument connected with the pull
ing of the trigger Of loaded revolv-
er pointed in the direction of his To-
cality, that he writes his editorials
now on the hem of a fire proof un-
dershirt. The shot itself had no
perceptible effect, but the recoil of

The CheYes Case.


When court convened last Mon
day afternoon 5he case of Geo. w.
Cheves, charged with the murder
of L. 81. Pickett, was called. The
defence moved for new t ial on
the ground of absent witnesses,
in Albany and elsewhere. The
court continued the case until
Tuesday afternoon and issued at
tachments for the absent witness
es and sent bailitfs after them.
When the case was called Tues
day afternoon the defence enter
ed special plea of insanity. The
case of insanity had to be tried bv
q jury selected from grand jurors.
The entire number Of grand jurors
in the county were summoned and
out of the whole number only six
we're competent to serve.
The counsel for the State then
insisted on selecting a jury from
the traverse jurors. After able
argument by counsel on both sides
the Judge ruled that the jury was
obliged to be selected from grand
jurors. This case will now have
to be taken to another county fol
trial or else be postponed until d fd-
ture court. There will be decis-
ion this morning as to what will be
done in the premises. There is
no excitement.

COURT ITEMS.

This court has been unusually
interesting.

ration.
Mr.. T. N. Killen was elected

We are frank to say that, as a
Judge, Jno. T. Clarke is our ideal
of perfection.
The ablest legal talent in South
west Georgia is employed by the
defence in the Cheves case.
Judge d. A. Vason, one of the
klndest hearted men in the circuit,
Is attending court this week.
The grand jury has given every

Judge Aller. Fort has won gold

manner in which he presides.

in his diction as to make it entire
ly novel.

knew how to arrange matters.

A ride with Sheriff Thornton to
his farm several miles in the coun-
try last Sunday morning revealed
the fact that the farmers along
the road have not been idle. While
the absence of small grain in some
instances was perceptible,we were
pleased with the prospects of an
abundance of corn. The crop of
Mr. Ike Hay, both corn and cot
ton, we regard as worthy Of spe-
cial mention; also that Of Mr.. Ben
Christie. When we reached Mr..
Thornton's place, we were shown
over the entire farm and found
the crops i'll good condition and
looking we'll. The crops all along
the road not only look we'll, but
are comparatively free of grass.
The outlook is now encouraging
for the agriculturists.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. L. Simpson,
OF Wards, were in town last week,
and while here their little boy,
Willie G., was quite sick.
While in Dawson on Monday
we met with Mr.. E. L. Kenney,
who informed us that he has 35
acres planted in melons. He says
the vines are meeting in twelve
feet rows, and are full of young
melons.
His Honor, Judge Clarke, has
been troubling some of our farm
ers for a portion of their time
during the past two weeks, which
has been very begrudgingly grant
ed, owing to the plentitude
of rain and the general improve
ment in the condition of the grass
crop.
Jim Grier was in the village
last Saturday. Jim had been sur
veying the lower portion of the
3rd district, and reports the grass
crop in a fiourishing condition.
Jim thinks that he had better
turn his attention from o'possum
hunting to the cultivation of his
grass crop.
We think the condition Of the
oat crop is at least so per cent
better than it was before the COM
mencement of the late rains. Old
Terrell will turn out a first class
crop of oats.
Major H. r. Toler has again
visited his friends in this section
Of the county. When the Major
was down some time ago he was
avowedly for agriculture; this
time he seemed to be running
rather on the temperance theory.

There is no great amount of
sickness in this section at this
