The Burgwyn-Jenkin and Hall
Case.
The examination of the bank books of
Col .Burgwyn, as touching the jenkins and
Hall matter has been, finished. This in
vestigation was gone into by them for
the purpose of ascertaining the correct
ness OF the debt Col. Burgwyn holds
against the Henderson Tobacco Company
or rather to establish fraud, conspiracy
and enlightenment as charged by them,
which, however, full and complete ex-
animation of the books and accounts,
checks, drafts, letters, &C., has failed to
show. The whole thing has been care
fully and thoroughly looked into and no
Every great discrepancies have been
found.
Destructive Fire in the Country.
Mr.. H. H. Burwell tells us that from
some one just from WILLIAMSBURG,
this county, he learns that the residence
of Capt. w. T. Hardy, in that place,
was burned at an early hour this morn
ing. The family were at breakfast
when the fire was discovered and the
flames had made such progress that it
was impossible either to save the
building or contents. The extent of
Capt. Hardy's loss is not known but
we suppose it will be quite heavy.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
| many friends of our esteemed county
| man will sympathize with him and his
family in their misfortune.
The old reliable, time-tried Special
! Tobacco Compound, manufactured by
| &. ODER & Sons, is on hand and for sale
| by ID. Y. Cooper again this season. Their
| is no better tobacco fertilizer on the
market as those know who have used it.
Call early and supply yourself. apr 80

Another "Card'' Writer.
Mr.. Frank Arnold who came from
Atlanta with a requisition for Dan
Hall, returned home evidently chagrined
and disappointed at the fruitlessness of
his errand, Judging from card he pub
lished in the Constitution. By misrep-
resentation and abuse of Col. Burgwyn
he attempts to manufacture sentiment
in behalf of his client and would make
it appear that he is the object of a ter
rible persecution at the hands of stern
hearted and unrelenting Shylock who
not only demands his pound OF flesh,
but is not satisfied without the last
drop of blood also. He talks pitifully
Of the appeals of the wife and lamenta'
tions of the children, (who have our
sympathy and altogether he shows
himself quite romancer in the field
of fiction. It did not suit Mr.. Arnold's
purpose to give the true facts in the
case while he was writing his card.
