Caught at last. - We understand that an
individual named Wm. Fountain,
has been arrested and committed to Jail in Wilkinson county, on the charge
of bigamy. It appears that he has been married four times in this state.
One of his wives resides in this county. He came here three years ago,
and introduced himself to a widow lady, worth some property, and soon married
her-sold the property-bought a horse and buggy with part of the proceeds-took
his wife and started to Dublin, in Laurens county, but before he reached
the place forced her (to) get out of the carriage, and there left her standing
in the road, without friends, money or reputation. We have since learned
that this was his second wife, and that he has since married two more and
that all four are living in this State.-Sandersville Telescope.

Departed this life on the 17th
ult. at his residence in Wilkinson county,
Elder JOHN HUGHES, who had been some 35 years a member of the Baptist
Church, and for about 14 years a useful and pious Minister of the Gospel.
Most of that time he had charge of several churches, and was abundant in
Ministerial labors, &c. was instrumental in gathering a goodly
number into the church, particularly during the years 1838 and '39, when
there was an extensive revival of religion, in the section of country where
he resided. No doubt he has obtained the reward of those "who turn many
to righteousness."
For about two months
before his death, his health was very feeble; though he was confined to
his bed of languishing only 9 days. His disease was an inflammation of
the lungs. He bore his last illness with exemplary patience, seemed quite
dead to the things of the world, and much absorbed in the interest of the
Redeemers Kingdom. The evening of the day before he died, with the assistance
of his friends, he rose from his bed, and kneeling down he prayed devoutly
with his family for the last time. He was indeed a good man, and his end
was peaceful.

A card. The undersigned would announce to
the citizens of Irwinton and vicinity, and to the public generally, that
they will re-open their school in this place, on the second Monday in January
next. Feeling full assurance, from their former success in this place and
elsewhere, they have no hesitation in guaranteeing to their former patrons,
and to all such as may feel disposed to favor them with patronage, entire
satisfaction with their course and management in matters pertaining to
the instruction and training of children and youth. Their success the present
year, attest sufficiently their ability to conduct a school in such manner
as to make it interesting and profitable to their pupils. The village of
Irwinton is well known as a healthy location, and it suffers peculiar advantages
as a situation for a school; being a place where comparatively little business
is transacted, of a nature to lad the minds of students from that close
application to study which is essential to their rapid improvement. The
Academy building is undergoing repairs, and will be finished in a style,
modern and highly convenient. Tuition pre term (of twenty weeks) carrying
from $7 to $14, according to the branches pursued. A class will be formed
for the benefit of those wishing to perfect themselves in vocal music.
Board can be obtained at a reasonable rate. No effort will be spared on
the part of the teachers to render the school pleasant and advantageous
to students. J. M. Leavitt, D. C. W. Chandler,

Departed this life on the 22d
of November, in the 70th year of his age, Capt.
EDWARD J. TARPLEY, formerly of Brunswick county, Va. Capt. Tarpley
was born in Brunswick county, and partly raised in Charlotte Co. Va. In
the year 1800, he intermarried with Mary B. Manson of Brunswick county:
- raised a large family of children, and in the year 1834 emigrated to
Wilkinson county, Ga., where he resided till his death. In the month of
June, he was taken sick with the ordinary fever of the country, and never
was able to be up again, although everything wad done for him that the
Science of Medicine could afford or suggest; his disease being of a violent
grade, unfortunately inducted irritability of the intestines, accompanied
with Hyrdropic symptoms which eventually terminated his existence. During
the long time of his confinement, be bore his afflictions with Christian
fortitude, meekness and resignation, and was never known to utter an unkind
expression or in any manner complain, but was perfectly resigned to his
long expected dissolution, and had the blessed and glorious assurance of
a better hereafter. In the social relations of life, Captain Tarpley was
much esteemed and respected for the probity of his conduct, and the integrity
of his behavior. He was a kind husband and affectionate father, and a good
neighbor, and in every instance so far as in his power, performed the part
of the good Samaritan. He has gone to that bourne from whence no traveler
returns-Peace be to his ashes! And may that all-wise Creator who tempers
the winter's blast to the shorn lamb, have a tender compassion to his bereaved
wife and children, is the fervent prayer of home wo has endeavored to pay
a just tribute to departed worth. S. J. B.
