The New South

The ever popular play THE New
South written by Clay McGrecne and
Joseph Grismer. will be the attraction
at the Augusta opera house on April
IA. The story deals in the main with
an act passed in 1874, in the State OF
Georgia, which gives the Governor OF
the State authority to lease convictS.
In the play one of these characters IS
leased out and he becomes the central
figure of the events that follow. The
hero is Capt Ford Of the United states
Army. 1t is said to be replete with in
cident, adventure and romance, and the
story will be well told by select COM
pany of players under the manage
ment of VIM. A. Brady

Play Ball. Everybody.

The base ball season has opened. Up
on Green street the boys in that sec
ton have begun to tougher up their
sturdy hands for what promises to be
one of the best years for that sport
ever known in this city.
Not only will the representative
team of Augusta be strong. but the
minor teams as well. The Cony High
school nine has the best outlook 1t
ever had. and in the William r. Smith
Grammar school there are mines too
numerous to mention, which will have
a lively time amongst themselves. In
the Williams District, also, there is a
lively interest taken in the great old
game which is second to none.
The promise of an early season.
many prophesying that the frost will
soon be out of the ground, will be of
great assistance. permitting the boys
to get into good condition earlier than
usual.

| ceedingly happy in his domestic rela
tons. One child, Geo. L., was born to
them. an exceptionally bright and
promising boy. who died of typhoid fe-
yer at the age of II years.
Mr.. Carleton early took high rank as
lawyer and has always had large
and lucrative practice. He served
eight years in succession as county
attorney for Kennebec county, a longer
term than any incumbent in that office
in any county in the State. At the
close of the celebrated Getchell trial
where Mr.. Carleton secured a convic-
ton of Mrs. Getchell for poisoning her
husband. unaided by other counsel,
one of the older justices of the supreme
judicial court made the remark that he
was undoubtedly the ablest criminal
lawyer in Maine.
Mr. Carleton for seventeen wears in
succession was chairman of the school
board in Winthrop. A prominent
Grand Army man. twice judge advo-
cate of the department of Maine. he is
much sought after as Memorial day
speaker and is now engaged to speak
at Kittery this year and at Bath in
1880. I1c Has utllNCISu 'icIiioI NdN
addresses at many of the principal
cities and towns in the State.
AS political speaker he is gen
eral favorite and his voice is heard in
every campaign; born a Republican lie
has never wavered and is always
ready to give cogent reasons for the
faith tina: is in him. and he was at one
time prominently mentioned as can
didate for Congress but declined to en-
ter the contest.
Mr. Carleton was appointed by Gov.
Cleaves chairman of the commission on
special legislation. which made its re-
port to the last Legislature and the
bills he drafted relating to the subject
matter were passed and became laws
by an almost unanimous vote. He is
thoroughly conversant with the fish
and game interests of the State.
While county attorney his thorough
enforcement of the laws attracted at
tention, and his friends claim that
the qualities he there manifested are
needed to deal with the violatOrs of
our game laws.
Mr. Carleton is a thorough sports
man in the best sense of that term.
Familiar from boyhood with the woods
and the haunts and habits of game
and each year devoting many weeks
of his time to the rod and gun, he
seems in every way exceptionally well
fitted for the position. He had the
hearty support of the Maine Sports
mems Fish and Game Association, of
it's president, Hon. p. o. Vickery and
its secretary Col r, c. Harrington. of
judges of the supreme court and hosts
of others, leading and influential cit
liens of the State.

TWO BOYS AND A GUN.
One Accidentally Shoots the Other in the
ShouIder-Narrow Escape.

Archia l.. Ray, the 13-years- old son
of Benjamin y. Ray of Pettingills
Corner, and II. A. Rand. aged II years.
took 22-calibre revolver into the
avowed intention of having some
with the same.
They set up a target at some dis
lance away and had very interesting
contest all alone by themselves, far
away in the woods from their unsus-
pccting parents. Shortly after, the
Ray boy stopped to sip some maple
syrup from a pan, and while so doing
the Rand boy shot him in the right
shoulder, accidentally beyond a doubt.
The escape was narrow one. The
bullet, it appeared. passed beneath the
muscles. just missing an artery on one
side, which If cut, would have cause!
the boy to bleed to death; on the other.
close by it, was the lung. which if
pierced, would have made matters
equally bad.
Dr. Ii. J. Frederick was called, and
assisted by DR.. r. j. Martin the bulle.
was located and removed. The boy
will undoubtedly recover.
No explanation is given by the Rand
boy who did the shooting than that
the pistol did not act right, being old,
and went off when he did not expect it.
He knew it was loaded, but he was.
he thinks, doing nothing at the time to
set it off.
The boy have every reason to feel
thankful over the narrow escape, and
will doubtless have care In the fu-
ture.
