An Kxeiting Runaway.
Mr. E. D. Thomas and Prof. Reed, of Cusseta,
were coming into the city yesterday evening late
driving a mule. When about a mile from town
the mule got soared and ran away, running
about a half mile, kicking all the way. Mr.
Thomas was driving and held the reins until the
mule had literally kicked the bugn.v all to pieces,
kicking him out of it. Mr. Thomas was consid
erably bruised, though not seriously hurt, but it
was a narrow escape for them both.
Under a Heavy Rond.
Yesterday Judge Willis heard the application
for bail for the young man, J. M. Pratt, of Harris

ris superior court for rape. Pratt’s alleged vic

Georgia’s Wealth.
Under the caption of “a neat work, a brilliant
writer and a learned gentleman,” the Atlanta
Journal has the following:
‘‘One ofthe most interesting works ever writ
ten on Georgia has just been published and a
copy presented to the Journal. The author, Prof.
J. B. de Lery, a gentleman well versed in science
and literature, displays many gifts; he describes
well; he is truth Ail and accurate, and handles his
subject with great skill, felicity and insight.
“His lengthy chapter on manufacture is fhsci-
nating aud instructive, and the force of his argu
ment is convincing to an eminent degree.
“In short, the whole work is one of great merit,
and will repay a careful perusal. Those who
have read “Georgia’s Wealth” predict a brilliant
-literary career for the author.”

1 in men sc Shim Will Draw an Immense
Crowd.
Doris’ great circus and mnnageric will show in
this city to-day and to-night. It will reach here
; early this morning from Mpcon. The indications
j are that it will be attended by an immense crowd
; at both performances. Large numbers of people
from the surrounding country will be here and
the citizens will turn out en masse. Circus day
j is always a big day, and but few people get their
j own consent to remain in doors. The Boston
Herald has the following to Bay of Doris’ great
show:
“The John B. Doris’ circus showed in Cam
bridge yesterday, and the huge tents were filled
I to overflowing. Mr. James Robinson never rode
! better, and as lie has few equals and no superiors
in Ins line, it is hardly necessary to say that his
acts were well received. Miss Stokes rode with
I her characteristic spirit, and evoked storms of
applause by her masterly action on a barebacked
steed. The Seigrists, the Fisher brothers, the
; Mnrtelle family, Refla Bey, Hatsuma, the Japan
ese juggler and balancer, Miss Sallie Marks, and
indeed every performer in the company did his
or her best to maintain the high standard of the
show. This circus is certainly one of the best
that has shown in the vicinity of Boston for many
years.”
Personal.
Miss Rosa McNainee and Miss Mattie Alford,
of Opelika, are in the city.
Miss Willie Eason, of Charleston,who lias been
spending several weeks in the city, left for home
yesterday.
Mr. B. C. Kimbrough, of Hamilton, was in the
city yesterday.
Mr. J. H. Thayer left for Macon yesterday,
where he goes to attend the state fair.
Mr. W. T. Crawford, of Atlanta, Is in the city.
Mr. T. D. HufT, who has just returned from
down the river, reports that it is with the
greatest difficulty that the boats navigate the
stream. Rain is the cry everywhere.
Mr. Frank L. Murray, business manager of
the Michael Strogoff company, was in the city
yesterday.
Messnj. G. M. Williams, W. R Blanchard, J.
B. Hill, R. M. Mulfovd and C. L. Davis have
returned from Birmingham.
Judge S. M. Brannon, of Mount Airy, was in
the city yesterday.
Colonel Dan McCulloh, of Waverly Hall, was !
in the city yesterday.
lion. Solomon Palm or mill tin* Schools.
The Hon. Solomon Palmer, state superinten
dent of education in Alabama, visited the schools :
in the Peabody school district across the river on '
yesterday. By previous appointment he met the j
trustees, teachers and patrons in the Methodist !
church last night. The church was beautifhlly
and tasteAilly decorated with flowers for the oc- *
casion and created the impression that the hand
of lovely woman had been busy in imprinting the
beauty and purity of her soul upon the sur- '■
roundings. Upon the stage were seated Col. [
John M. Brannon, county superintendent ofedu- 1
cation, the Rev. J. B. Cummings, Rev. Benjamin
Ryder, U. L. Mat tin and the Hon. Mr. Palmer.
The speaker was introduced to the large audi
ence by Mr. U. L. Martin, and for more than an
hour entertained them in a very plain, pleasant
and practical talk, in which he set forth the re
sults of his long and extensive experience as an
educator. He told them that he was greatly
pleased with the efforts they were making in
their midst in the cause of education, and that
they might count on his heartiest co-operation.
At the conclusion of the address Colonel Bran
non expressed his gratification at the very re
markable progress which the community had
made within ihc last few years in every respect,
and especially in educational facilities.
The Rev. Mr. Cummings, on behalf of the peo
ple of that community, returned thanks to Mr.
Palmer and Col. Brannon for the interest which,
bv theii visit, they had manifested in their wel
fare and on the part of the nudiouce for the in
teresting and cheering talks with which they
had been entertained. The occasion will result
in good to the community and will cheer and
encourage those who have been striving for the
good of the rising generation.
Tha Komi Laws.
Hon. L. F. Garrard and Henry R. Goetchins,
Esq., have compiled the road laws of the state of !
Georgia into a convenient hand book, of which i
the fifth edition is just from the press. The edi- ;
tion contains every amendment of the road laws 1
to the present date, and also every decision ofthe j
supremo court on the statutes regulating roads
and bridges up to the present time. The para- ;
phlet is gotten up with a view of convenience to
those using it. It can be carried about iu the i
pocket, and a commissioner can refer to the law ,
in a moment’s time. The price is put at. a nomi- '
mil sum, fifty cents per copy, so that every j
county can supply itself at a small cost, which
will be repaid a hundred per cent, by improving
the condition ofthe roads and bringing the mat
ter home to those concerned, and making them
have a personal interest in the subject.
Ail Appeal to the People.
CoLUMnus, October 22.—To the Generous Pub
lic of Columbus: I want to make an appeal.
The most of you are to some extent acquainted ,
with the membership and congregation of Broad j
Street Methodist church. You know they are a ;
poor ami hard-working people. They have been !
striving and denying themselves for a long time j
to pay an old debt that was created in building j
the church. They have raised this year $759, (
and they feel that they have done about all they I
can. Now what I want is for twenty generous- j
hearted men or women to give me $5 apiece, and
l will be responsible for the remainder of the !
debt. In other words, that will secure the pay
ment of this debt and leave the church free to go
on in her good work of bringing salvation to the
souls ofthe people. NY. A. Hvckabbb.
Michael Strogoff.
The “Michael Strogoff” company " ill appear
at Springer opera house next Tuesday night.
Reserved seats are nowon sale at Chaffin’s book
store and are being readily taken. The I 4 ondon
Standard says: “It may be doubted whether
any play recently produced at this or any other
house has found its way so directly to the public
heart "ns has ‘Michael Strogoff,’ given for the
first time yesterday. l*>om the moment when,
at the close ofthe first act, the curtain fell upon
a situation equally novel and effective, to the
close of a scene, the actors were summoned be
fore the curtain, and Mr. Warner was at one
time compelled to request the audience to re
serve till the fate ofthe piece was definitely set.
tied, a demand for the reappearance of the
authors prematurely put forth. The triumph
thus delayed was not lost.”
The Birmingham Extension.
A correspondent writing from Birmingham
says: “President Raoul, of the Georgia Central
railroad, is iu the city, arranging for the right of
way of the Goodwater extension of his road to
enter the city. He says it is surely going to be
built at once. Messrs. JL H. Squair & Co., who
are arching the King’s mountain tunnel on the
Cincinnati Southern railroad of the Queen and
Crescent route, have closed a contract with the
Louisville and Nashville railroad to extend their
Bardstown branch road from Bardstown, K\\, to
Springfield, the county seat of Washington coun
ty, Ky. TliiS'Contract is expected to put a quietus
on the Louisville aud Nashville Southern railroad
now being surveyed.”

A great deal of sickneasqjrerails iu the Uchee
settlement. *
One of our society youfjg men was made the
victim of a practical joke -yesterday. The boys
sent him a letter purporting to be from an irate
father in a distant town, Which stated that he
would be in Seale on the next train to demand
satisfaction. The yojjjig man showed
the letter to his friends wfid asked their advice.
Everyone told him to getxeady for the old man,
and if he brought any of his folks along,that they
(his friends) would stand? by and see fair play.
The young man armed himself with two shot
guns, a pistol, a hatchet and a long hickory
stick. 1-Ie stationed himself in the store window j
and watched the railroad crossing all day. The
whole masculine portion of the town
turned out to see the fun. About sunset, the
joke was given away, as the boys were too ten
der-hearted to keep their victim in such fearful
suspense any longer.
Prof. Conyers, the principal of the Seale acad
emy, is rapidly growing in public favor.
Several weeks ago a fine shotgun was stolen
from the residence of Mrs. F. A. Howard. The
gun was advertised and a reward offered for its
recovery. A.negro man was arrested on suspicion
of being the thief one,day last week. A few
mornings since the gun was found on the front
porch. The thief had become alarmed and re
turned the property. The negro was released.
