Br0nwood W. i. N. Society,

The quilt being made by this
society has a hundred and thirty
eight pieces uron which names
are to be written. Nearly hun
dred names have already been
procured, and they were given
willingly and gladly by the parties
or their friends. The society de-
sires names under no other cir
cumatances. The quilt will be
disposed Of by optional drawing,
the proceeds of which go in behalf
Of Miss Haygood's call and other
missionary purposes. The Jour-
NAILS "name" will be upon the
quilt. One sincere worker says
that il she is SO fortunate as to
gain the prize the first missionary
who crosses the rolling waves Of
Che Pacific shall bear it as IA gift
70 Miss Haygood. IL such be the
happy result, as that noble woman
in foreign land reads with tear
dimmed eyes the names from her
own native State, some of which
will be familiar, will not her heart
be lifted in gratitude to Him
who gave the people q mind to
work 2"

A Lively Time With a Negro.

Some time in the spling Aleck
Melton, a negro, was put in Jail
for stealing a bottle of whiskey.
Mr.. J. WE. Lowrey stood Alexis
bond for appearance at court, but
he had net been released long be-
fore he hid ont. Mr.. Lowfey paid
S5 90 to have him re-captured and
returned to Jail. A short time af-
forwards Mr. Goode, of Wards
station, took Aleck from jail by
going on his bond, The negro did
net stay with Mr.. Goode but a
short time, and a few days ago the
authorities here received a note
from Mr.. Goode to be on the look
and capture him again. Monday,
while at the depot, Marshal Hatch
er spied Aleck and he and Mr.. L.
r Thornton set about to capture
him. Aleck showed no disposi-
ton to resist the officers and ap-
peared willing to accompany them
to Jail, but his companion, a yel-
low negro, Judge Henry by name,
tried to prevent them taking his
friend Aleck, and it was not until
Marshal Hatcher used considera-
bic club persuasion that he was
subdued. Aleck and Judge were
then both taken to Jail, and while
being searched the latter attempt
ed to draw pistol. Fortunately,
Marshal Hatcher kept his eye on
the negro and saved his life. The
negroes were then both placed in
a cell and charges preferred
against the Judge for resisting al
officer in the discharge Of his duty
and carrying concealed weapons
and at Superior Court he VII have
to appear before another lud9t
and give an account OF his cJl
duct.

putting eamphor in a flask. We
remarked he could do it better at
home. He said his wife had re-
peatedly told him to get some
whiskey to mix with the camphor
and he invariably drank it before
he reached homo. So much for
prohibition.
Mr.. J. H. Kelley deserves a

There are frequent unkind
remarks made aboat Dawson by
rival towns. But Dawson is. too
busy building up her trade and
making attractive and valuable
improvements to notice these crit
icisms She is padding her own
canoe, and in 50 doing would not
retard the growth and enterprise
Of any place.
The question is frequently
discussed, "Will the Americus,
Preston and Lumpkin railroad ia
jure Dawson's trade?" We think
not to any great extent. BY the
tune the farmers along the line or
that road load up their cotton,
haul it to the depot and pay
freight on it to Americus they
vii! find it cheaper and better to
come right along to Dawson at
once, where they will always get
as much for cotton as in Ameri-
Gus.

was young to die, and her youth
lenders the task OF giving her up
more difficult. But she was too
pure for this earth, the angels
coveted our darling, and came
and took her from us, but we
know it was best for her sweet
spirit to be transplantcd IN a
fairer cline. 1t seems, almost, a
selfish feeling in us to grieve for
one so fully equipped for her last
journey. 1t was natural with
her to be q christian; she was
good and pure, and, though her
life was short it's record is un-
blemished, she abhorred nothing
SO much as an untruth, and was
possessed of that grandest and
most noble feeling, self sacrifice.
Even in her dying moments she
strcye TO comfort her parents and
those she loved, forgetting the
while her own suffering, which
was SO great. Never has the wri-
ter who nursed her IN her last
illness, seen such fortitude mani
Tested in a child; through all her
suffering she was patient and gem
tie and prayed earnestly for
strength to bear it. She was per-
fectly rational until the last
moment and talked freely not
more than five minutes before
she breathetl her last. But Will

A Beautiful Incident.

Last Wednesday afternoon a
beautiful in cident took place near
this town-the marriage of Miss
Matte, the daughter of Maj. f..
H. Harris, to Mr.. r. A. Keith.
For several months Mr. Keith has
been in falling health, and his con
dition became so alarming that
intimate friends despaired of ulti-
mate recovery. On the evening
above mentioned the marriage
ceremony, as above stated, was
performed by the Rev. A. M.
Williams at the groom $ residence.
The bride, seated upon the side of
the bed upon which the sick man
lay, clasped his hand and took up
on herself the VOWS of wife,
while be, in his weakness, took
upon himself the VOWS of a hus-
band, rendered the occasion doub-
ly impressive. The scene beauti-
fully illustrated the sweet union
of two hearts, and sheds around
each the light of loving union
more strongly cemented hy the
sad yet happy influence of the
hour, Mr.. Keith is how much
improved, and it is the JOURNALS
hope that he will yet recover and
have a long life Of happiness in
his nAN eStntn.
