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.

Parker took Pratt back to Harris county, where, it is said, he will be able to make the bond. 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.” thk enters coming. 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.

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. New Preserves, Jellies and Pi I aug28 d&w till dec 11 Jas. L. TreAdaway. Parent*and Guardians.
