The construction train on The

citizen who commanded Lump
kins militia in ante-hellum days,

At Americus,afew nights since.
d. B. Hills colored nurse
was up with the baby AMI sitting

ner her dress caught fire. Mr..
Hill quickly came to the rescue,
and in extinguishing the flames

A Townsville special to the
Telegraph says: "The negro
school recently burned at Quit
man, and about which SO much
fuss was raised, is to be establish

Last March, Mr.. VIM. Hooks
store was broken into and robbed.

days. Frequently these fits are
of one and a half hours duration
There are six otlIar prisoners con-
fined in the same cell with this
poor wretch. On Tuesday night
Kitchens hal M unusually severe
fit, striking and kicking violently.
The other negroes were frighten-
ed, and crouched in corners and
climbed up on the windows to
keep out Of danger. Should not
John Kitchens be sent 10 the la.

enthuso worth a cent over the
Ohio excnrsionists AMI the at
tempt made to give them a racep-

us that tho first Ohio man that
