A Qnartette of Rronwnnd Ltems


deLce to the Americus Recorder
under date of the 213t:
Mr.. Adam Chapman was struck
by pieco of timber yesterday
evening and knocked senseless
for while. The lick would have
probably killed him had it not
been slanting.
Mr.. j. j. Hill has bought lot
and is getting up plan to build
his house by. He intends to go
to housekeeping as soon as he can
build his house.
Bronwood has two preachers
that any city might be proud of.
Mr.. Langston, the Methodist min
lister, and Mr.. Elmore, the Luth-
eran minister. They are both
clever, jovial nice gentlemen, and
liked by everybody in the commu-
nifty.
| The town council had a call
meeting last night, and reduced
the license for retail liquor deal
ers from one hundred dollars to
seventy five dollars. The treasu-
ry has some money in it from last
years taxation, and they propose
to absorb the surplus by reducing
the license on the articles that
were taxed the highest.
QUITE a breeze was created at
the meeting of the Alabama State
Medical Society at Admission. The
preachers of the city presented to
the body a request that they de-
cline to partake of the wines on
the bill of fare for the banquet.
The preachers made the point that
Admission IS dry town and that it
was only by beating around the
law that the wines could be plac-
ed on the table. Three times the
association passed a resolution
acccding to the preachers wishes
and as often reconsidered and
tabled it. Finally they referred
the matter to the committee of
arrangements, which decided that
it was none Of the preachers bust
ness, hence the wine was put to
the doctors lips.
IT is reported that the grand
jury of Clarke, which is now in
session, is going to throw a
''bomb-shell" into the Camp Of
several citizens of Athens for sell
ing liquor on the sly, and it is
furthermore stated that Judge
Hutchins will give to each anr,
every one, if convited, a pleasant
stay in Clarke county Jail.
ApRorOs of the question of mar
riage and the cost of living, the
Chicago Inter- Ocean says: "It is
all right for young man intend
ing matrimony to find out whether
the young girl can cook. But il
is still more important for the
young girl to find out whether the
young man is capable by educa-
ton and good habits to provide
supplies"
The Waynesboro True Citizen
publishes an ordinance, passed by
that town, by which chickens and
turkeys are to be prohibited from
trespassing on a neighbor's prem
ises under penalty of being shot.
A good law; but why not muzzle
the naughty things TO prevent
their biting the marshal should
he fail to kill when he shoots.
A CYCLONE struck q wedding
party out West the other day just
after the ceremony had been per-
formed. 1t knocked the bride
groom out of time, seriously i'm
paired the mother-in-law and
bounced the preacher about.
THIS time they say that the
president is to be married sure
enough. A Miss Folsom, who is
now in Europe, is destined, SO the
knowing ones assert, to be the
first lady in the land. The mar
riage is set down for June.
THE officers of the different cot.
ton factories, at Augusta, have
been notified by the operatives
that they will strike the first Of
May if their demands for higher
