Backward, turn backward, for weary I am ! Give me a whack at my grandmother's j' rr; let me drink milk that bas never been skimmed, let me eat butter whose hair has been trim med; let me once mom have an old fash? ion pd pip; then I'll be willing to curl up and die " Married, on Tuesday morning, Decem? ber 3, 1895, at 9 o'clock, at tbe residence of the bride's father in this city, by Rev J.

Laet Wednesday, at the home of Mr. W G. Burgfsn. In Hopewell Township, a dif? ficulty occurred between Mr. J. H Bur? gess and a negro named Cbarlie Sazton, in which the latter was Rilled: Raxton advanced on Burgess with a hoe, threaten lng to kill him. Burgess ordered Raxton to leave the yord, and at tbe same time picked np an axe to defend himself Sax ton refused to leave and continued cursing Burgess, who went into the bouse and secured bis izun. Sazton followed him almost to the door. Burgess soon came out and again ordered Saxton to leave. The latter refused to go and made an at tempt to strike Burgess, who immediately fired hie gun, the whole load entering the negro'** aide, killing him almost instantly Trial Justice Jamison held the inqnest and the verdict waR in accordance with the above facts. On Fridav the prisoner, with his attorney, J E Breazeale, went to Greenville and appeared before Judge Benet. who granted him bail in the sum of $1000 Tbe bond was made and Burgess was released to appear at the February term of Court. The Williamston correspondent of the Greenville Newa, under date of Nov. 30th, says: "Early this morning while switch? ing at Willlamaton Conductor J. P. Dodd, in attempting to step from an engine while in motion, slipped and fell to tbe ground. His right foot was caught under the truck of the tender and four of his toes were mashed entirely off and his font, severely injured otherwise. Dr B. F Brown was called and did what he could to relieve him temporarily until a special train could be provided on which Mr Dodd was taken to Greenville, where be received tbe necessary surgical treatment from Dr. T. T. Earle. Mr. Dodd is an ex? cellent young man and one of the Southern railway's best conductors. William Crymes suffered a painful accident here yesterday, while engaged In taking a bale of cotton from ander the press at the gin? nery. A lever flew up and struck him un? der ths chin, shattering bis front teeth and cnttiug an uglv gash. About tbe time this accident occurred James Pepper, while at work m the p'aning mill h<re, w is struck in tbe *op of his bead wi'h the shirp edge of a fl'ing plan1* bit and a painful and al? most fatal wound was inflicted." Last night Mr. W. T. Albea. baggag* master on tbe Savannah Valley Railroad accidentally fell oat of bis oar at Cooks and was painfully hurt. His bead struck a cross tie arid his right hip was badly sprained. Ho will be ready for duty again In a few days. On yesterday morning at 8 30 o'clock, at the home of tbe bride in th s dtv, Mr J H.

Only a few intimate friends ! and tbe relatives of tbe happy oouple were present to witness the ceremony. 8hortly after tbe wedding the couple left on the Savannah Valley train to spend a few dayB in Atlanta viewing the Exposition. Both the bride and groom reside in this city, and have a host of friends whom we join in extending congratulations. Mr. Samnel 0. Sullivan, yonngestson of the late N K. Sullivan, died at the home of bis mother in this city last Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, in the 19th year of bis age Tbe young man was attacked with bilious fever abont four weeks ago, but two weeks preceding bis death he bad recovered sufficiently to be np again for a day or two, when be relapsed and gradu? ally grew worse until death claimed him as its victim. Tbe death of this young man is peculiarly sad, and ba* brrughl sorrow to a wide circle of relativ s and friends, who deeply sympathize with the devoted mother, who is almost heart? broken over the loss oi ber' baby boy," who, it seemed. :;ud a bright and happy future before him We had known the young man intimstfly since his infancy, and can testify to hie many floe caaracter is tics. He was kind-hearted, modest, jovial and generoas to a fault, always cour? teous and accommodating, and strictly upright and temperate. In short, he was a model boy, and had tbe confidence and good will of all who knew him, which should be a great consolation to tbe loved ones who are left to cherish bis memory. Mr. 8ullivnn graduated from the Patrick Military Institute last Jnne, and being possessed of a bright mind stood well in bis classes. While be bad never made a public profession of religion, he was a regularly attendant upon the services of tbe Baptist Church and a zealous member of \f* Sunday School. On Monday after? noon the remains were consigned to their last resting place in Silver Brook ceme tery, tbe funeral services being conducted at tbe First Baptist Cburch by the pastor Rev. 0 L. Martin. During the services Col. J B. Patrick, Principal of the P. M I, arose from hia seat and paid a high tribute to tbe worth and character of the deceased. Yankee Doodle and Dixie. Ex Gov Bob Taylor and Hon. Alf. Tavlor, of Tennessee, famous brothers who campaigned their State against eacb other for Governor in 18H6, will appear at the Opera House on Thursday night, D?c. 12th, in their most novel entertainment, "Yankee Doodle and Dixie." It is sain that this peculiar entertainment presents to the public ometblng new in the theat rical line. It is not a lecture, as might be supposed, but a combination of wit, bu mor, anecdote and music Alf. Taylor assumes tbe roll of "Yankee Doodle," and be is master of his theme. Under bis touch to a behold tbe Yankee and Yan keeland?all the peculiarities aod charac teri sties of both. Bob Taj lor is tbe expo? nent of "Dixie," and in uniqueness of expression and style of presentation he is, perhaps, without a peer. He carries yon on tbe wings of his imagination into the realms of fancy. He tells anecdotes, be jokes, he sings. Accompanying the com? bination isapp'endid male quartette, com? posed of Messrs. Nichol, Sawrle and Saw rie. with tbe Ex Govern or as second tenor Music by this quartette is woven into the theme every ten minutes in the program And all together, tbe entertainment is something new, and our people will prob? ably never have another opportunity to enjoy, such a treat Admission prices : Reserved Beats. $1.00. Gallery, 75c. Re? served seats on sale next Tuesday morning at Russell & Breazeale's, Secure youi seats early. The Nashville Banner, in speaking of the entertainment, t>uys: ''Yankee Doodle and Dixie" is a ser? mon of hope, a pnem of life as it shou>d be, a reminiscence of an age that s-ems golden when viewed through-a vista of be limming year?, a prophecy of tbe bettet time to come, with human harmony and universal contentment, a benediction tem? pered with love of all mankind, and soft ened with melodic echoes of God's master? piece of home?the land of Dixie. In one sense it is a national anthem ; in another it is an American epic, and yet it possesses all tbe essential beauties of a perfect pas? toral. Thus it evades definition ; it is so varied, it is bo many-toned and so many colored. Eloquence is the birthright ol the South, humor not barbed with malice springs from the most cultivated soil, and pathos is her heritage from history. Iu all of these beauties tbe offering of the brothers abounds and, under the guidanct of these lofty traditions, they have work? ed out a r< flex of them all that no South erner should be ashamed of and no North? erner fail to hear. ? Hard to Get Away. Dr. Matthez, tbe renowned oculo-opti clan, whose office at tbe Hotel Cbiquola has been thronged for tbe past two months with those of our citizens who have required advice and assistance in tbe matter of that cnost delicate of all senses?the eyesight?has been endeavor? ing for eome weeks to wind up bis exten? sive practice in order that he might fulfil1 pressing engagements elsewhere. He finds, however, "getting away" a very difficult matter, and is still busily engag? ed in filling tbe very large number ol orders he has upon his books. Dr. Mattbez has so fully demonstrated his ability, his scientific" knowledge and his thorough and exceptional success in bis profession that be will leave behind him when be does go many a grateful re? membrance. Dr. Mattbez advertised to close his office last Saturday, and in one sense be has done so ; that is, be will make no efforts for new business, except tba which may chose to visit bim voluntarily. He remains to deliver a number of orden received previous to tbe time he adver tised to close his offic?, as well as to com? plete the examinations in a number o cases be accepted and was obliged t< carry over beyond last Saturday, which at most will not take many days.
