Centeunial Issue.
The Augusta Chronicle has published
a centennial issue of that paper. Some
time in May, 1785, the first number ot
the Chronicle was issued and the cen
tennial sheet now before us is in com
memoration of that event. A-fac-
oitilo of who of tbo uoriior aanbors 13
published in this issue and the contrast
between it and tbe mammoth 24 page
publication now gives to the world is
very great indeed. The centennial issue
is very handsomely gotten up and
presents a very interesting epitome ol
the history, not only of the city of
Augusta but of the State of Georgia
during the past one hundred years. It
is an exceedingly creditable issue and
speaks volumes for the indomitable
energy and enterprise of the publisher'
Hon. Patrick Walsh, President o
tho Chronicle Company.
Ilon't Shoot!
We hear of two ladies who live in
the Eastern section of the city and keep
house together. A short time since
they bought some chickens of a color
ed women and put them in a coop in
the yard. A few nights ago one of the
ladies heard a noise m the yard and
upon going out ascertained that there
was some sort of a disturbance in the
chicken coop Being one ol the plucky
kind of women she stepped towards
tbe coop, at the same time oiling to
tbe lady who was in tbe house to bring
her pistol as she was going to shoot
whoever or whatever was in the cbiefc
en coop. While saying this she march
ed boldly up to the coop, when an im
ploring voice begged her, for God's
sake, not to shoot f. It was a woman's
voice, and when she came out of the
coop and stood reveaied in the light,
she proved to be the identical colored
woman from whom the chickens were
bought.

King: in tbe New.
There is a movement on foot to get a
new fire alarm bell in place of that now
in use. The old bell weighs about 400
pounds and has done faithful service
tor lo! these many years. It was
bought at a time whea Sixth street
was on the outskirts of the city and all
beyond, in an Easterly direction, was
in the suburbs Where scrub oaks were
wont to grow. While tbe territory of
the city was lhu3 coufined to such
narrow limits the old bell answered
every necessary purpose, but with the
increase of our population and tho ex
tension of the city East and North in
consequence of that increase it has
become comparatively of no value, and
its usefulness is confined to its original
limits. The idea is to get an amalgam
bell weighing 1.000 pounds, which would
give a tone sufficiently loud and dis
tinct to be heard in any section ol the
city. We learn that the party who
would furnish the bell would take tbe
old one in part pay, thus bringing the
expense ol the new one to about $200,
exclusive of the expense of hanging &c.
Whether a bargain will be made for a
new bell or not, it is very certain that
the present bell is entirely inadequate
to the demands of tho city.
