by a negro named Wimbusb, on the plantation
of Henry Holni“s. near No. 12)4, on the Cen

-i.e Sparta hhmaelite says that the spring
~ t cro p is. as a rule, a failure in Hancock

is planted in fertile soil or heavily manured.
In such cases there will be a pretty fair yield.

be taken round and the position of every man
on the question clearly learned.
Princs Batriee, an enterprising colored gen
tleman of Athens, recently struck a bonanza
in the shape tf stolen brass, etc., which he
deftly removed from the wheels and other
p rtions of the cars at the Northeastern de
pot " hen he had obtained a quantity he en
gaged the services of a small boy to taka it to
the foundry where a good price is
paid for it. The frequency of the small boy’s
visits and the quantity of brass he brought
aroused the suspicion of the foundry men and
they told Policeman Culp that they thought
something was wrong. It took but a short
time to ferret out the matter and spot Prince
as the guity party. He was therefore nabbed
ai.J took up his abode in the county jail to
await trial for his misdemeanor.
The Post-Appeal relates a short-lived Atlanta
ensition that caused quite a stir while it
lasted. It appears that Mr. Charley Johnson, a
young man who rooms over Dr. Bigger "a office,
discovered a tin ean in the rear of his room
which gave out a rather offensive odor. Think
ing that the can contained soap grease he gave
it to his bro’her and told him that he might
take it out to his home in the country. The
can was ace jrdingly carried off, but when a
colored woman at Johnson’s house attempted
to use the contents for soap making purposes
the was horrified to find that they consisted of
the dismembered corpus of an infant. The
dead body was sent back to town, and C roner
Hiilourn being notified of the fact summoned
a jury and witnesses, with the intention of
holding an inquest. At.this stage of the affair
Dr. luggers appeared atd demanded his
cadaver, stating that it was a subject which he
hud had preserved in alcohol for about a couple
of years, and, as the alcohol had leaked out,
he had temporarily set it back of his office.
The doctor was indignant over the disappear
ance of his subject, but the matter was soon
explained, and Coroner Hillbum decided that
there was ro necessity for holding an inquest.
The corpus was delivered to Dr. Biggers, and
the supiKHed sensation evaporated.
Columbus is plagued with bitter miik. The
cows pasture on the dog-fennel, and their
milk is almost as bitter as the weed. Plans
are w> irking to get rid of the nuisance, but the
weed wiil grow, and the cows will eat it.
The Social C reie correspondent of the Il'at
tun County Uidetie states that a little son of
Rev. J. C. Burton, four or five years old, had
the misfortune to get a pumpkin seed in his
w indpipe last Friday, causing much uneasi
ness to his parents and great suffering to him
self. All efforts to remove the seed have so
far failed, and it is feared that it may prove
fatal.
Mr. John M. Tucker tells the Miliedgeville
Union and Recorder that several nights ago
on a portion of his plantation there was a
shower of rain. Next morning acres of his
land were covered with what are known as
spring lizards. There were bushels of them
all around, and covered the ground so thick
that tlie negroes could hardly find a clear spot
on which to eat their breakfast. By noon they
were all dead.
The Walton County Vidette is informed that
Mr. Alien McCarty was recently found lying in
a he!: less condition in his stables, whither he
had gone to feed his stock. Being alone and
remaining an unusual length of time, someone
went in search of him, and found that he had
been severely trampled on by his mules. His
injuries are said to tie serious.
ine Dublin Gazette learns that a very heavy
wind passed over the northern part of tue
county last Sunday night. Soma houses were
unroofed, fences blowu down, and olber dam
age done.
Under the caption “Crops on Lookout Moun
tain,Georgia,” "Brampton Cliff ” sends us the
following: “Oats and corn are in fine con
dition. Farmers are busy putting in their crops
of peach blow potatoes. Early potatoes are
growing well. Tan bark is bringing Si 25 per
cord, and oar farmers have their bark in lots
varying from ten to a hundred cords, ready for
hauling to market in August. Strawberries,
currants, cherries and gooseberries are ripe
now. Alexander peaches will be ready for
market by the middle of June. The peach,
apple, pear and grape crop was entirely un
injured by the severe winter, owing to the
dryness of our atmosphere and the marve’-
ously even temperature of our mountain cli
mate. If your correspondent from Southern
Georgia, who urges the return to the old time
seedling peach, will buy his grafted trees from
Fruitland Nurseries, Augusta, and then take,
care of them, I doubt his being willing to give
a seedling peach standing room.”
Senator Brown is in Atlanta. Senator Hill
lias not yet arrived home.
The Dublin Gazette says not quite six thous
and bales of cotton have been received at that
place the past season. Of guano one thousand
and thirty tons have been received, besides
boat loads that have gone to landings below
Dublin.
ine Post-Appeal states that as an excursion
train was returning from Toccsa, a negro fell
from the platform of a car, near Gainesville,
and aieJ in a few minutes from the injuries
received. A boy fell off the same train near
Soreross. but it is not vet known whether he
was seriously hurt or not.
The Athens Ranner reports that on Monday
a little daughter of Mr. Bain, who resides on
Hancock avenue, had the misfortune to brer-k
her arm. She was engaged in the dangerous
sport of sliding down the stair railing, when
she slipped her hold and fell nearly the entire
distance from the second to the first floor.
Dublin Gazette: ‘There has been shipped to
this place this year one thousand and thirty
toes of mi ano. beside boat loads that have gone
to landings below.”
The Ishmaelite says: “An immense amount
of water power is going to waste every year
in the Oconee river. There ought to be several
millions ot dollars invested in factories and
machine shops on the banks of that river.”
Sparta hhmaelite: "It is reported that quite
a cumber of vaiuat le cattle have died recent
ly in the Devereaux neighborhood. The kind
of disease that is taking them off is not report
ed.”
iieidsville Enterprise : “While Mr. W. N.
McDonald was out sheep hunting the other
dav lie came upon five deer. He had his gun
with him. but was so tender-hearted he tired
off both batreis to frighten them away to keep
from kdliug them.”
The Louisville Courier understands that ar
rangements have been completed for re
• penmg the telegraph line connecting Louis
vi.te with the main line. The company will
have an office at Wad ley for local business,
and run a line up the Central Railroad to Bar
t*>w, where they will connect with the Western
Union.
Says the Sandersville Mercury: “In conse
quence of tbe long: continued drought in many
para of our county, not more than half the
cotton already planted has come up, and much
re-Bains yet to be put in the ground. Where it
is up a tine stand is to be seen, and it is doing
sell, but how that a ill do th t is not up or
s*ill to be plan’ed is a conundrum we are una
ble to solve. Tbe rain on Saturday evening
will do great good, and was badly needed."
Monroe Advertiser: “Mr. J. W. Moran has
carefully tLresbed the oats gathered from four
and a half acres and obtained 330 bushels, '394
bushels p r acre. Tbe oats are known as the
Burt, or Mississippi oats. The yield is cer
tainly a splendid one. These osts ripen two
to three weeks earlier than the rust-proof
fh niasville Enterprise: “Last Friday the
first f the wool eiop came into town. Twenty
one bales, each weighing a good deal over five
hun ired pounds, were brought in an-,1 sold, and,
*e hear, brought twenty six cents per pound.
This is a very fair beginning for this season, as
the sheep t ied up badly last winter.’*
Thomasviile Enterprise : “Reports from the
many parties engaged in raising the LeConte
pear' tree from the cutting indicate that the
rop of young trees next fail will be exceeding
ly s nail. The late spring, followed by the dry
weather, has killed out nearly all the curings,
and only a very small percentage of them are
now living, and many of these will die if it does
not rain soon ’’
Amer.eus Republican: “We learn that on
Thur-Jay last t apt. Saucer, of the United
States dredge boat on the Flint river, was
ft ruck in ihe back by the breaking of the limb
°f a large tree that waa being removed from
the river, and was knocked down. He was
severely hurt, and at last accounts was com
plaining of pains in the back and tboulders,
hut he is still sticking to his work.”
Speaking of the oat yield the Monroe Adver
tiser says: “From fifty *o seventy-five bushels
will b*> the average product on good land. Two
Vearg since one hundred and thirty-seven
bushels were made on an acre In our town and
fifty-five on a half acre in another patch. It
was a common thing for the farmers to get
to seventy-five bushels per acre. For the
Present season we hear the moat encouraging
reports.”

is our opinion that the extension
of the present institution would be more eco
tb“ establishment of anew one.
I f* e owns three thousand acres of land
attached to the asylum at Midway. To estab
itsh anew institution elsewhere would involve
considerable cost in the purchase of land, to
say noihing of many of the buildings that
would not have to be erected by extending the
present asylum, and we may add, the creation
or an entire new corps of officers. If all the
patients are sent to one institution, and that a
large one. better opportunities for classifica
tion wculd be afforded.
The Columbus Times , noting the death of
Colonel John L. Mustian, says: ‘ The friends of
Colonel John L. Mustian in this city were
pained to learn of his death, which took place
at his borne, the Warm Springs, Meriwether
county, Monday night about 10 o'clock. He
was seventy-six years of age, and has been in
a low state of health for some time past, so his
death was not unh.oked for. Colonel Mustian
was born in North Carolina, and came to Geor
gia when yet a young man. He was a carpen
ter by trade, having served an appenticeship
with the father of General Brax’on L. Bragg,
and in this, as in whatever he undertook, lie
was thorough. Coming here before railroads
were built, be and Colonel R. L. Mott run a
stage tine from Macon to Montgomery, passing
through Columbus, in which business they
amas-ed a large fortune, much of which, by
prudence and care, he preserved up to the
time of his death. He was a large stockholder
in the old Muscogee Railroad, and for a long
series of years was the efficient President of
the company.”
The Post-Appeal reports that on Tuesday
night the eight-roomed house at 33 Peters
street, Atlanta, occupied by the families of
Jack Snipes, Henry Ablis and Bose Mahaffey
was destroyed by fire. A little boy of Mr.
Snipes was awakened bv the cracking of the
flames and gave the alarm. The Are was then
raging on a corner of the roof direciyover
the sleeping family. Help soon arrived, and
most of the furniture was saved, but the con
tents of the kitchen, where the fire originated,
were destroyed. During the progress of the
fire the kitchen chimney fell and a flying
brick cut quite a gash in the head of a negro
man who was lending his assistance. Three
men, two colored ana one white, who w>-re in
the second story of tlie building trying to save
the furniture, had a narrow escape. The stair
way was totally consumed, and they were
compelled to jump from the window. For
tunately, the leap did not result in any injury’
to either of them The house was burned to
the ground. It belonged to T. C. Harrison,
and was insured for SSOO.

400 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.
SINCE the introduction.pf this Spool Cotton
into the American market, its success has
been unprecedented. No other brand of thread
has ever met with the same amount of public
favor in the same space of time.
The “O. N. T.” manufacturers were the first
to recognize the importance of the Sewing Ma
chine and to make a six-cord cotton, which has
ever since been the recognized standard for
machines.
All the improvements in machinery that the
inventive genius of the nineteenth century has
produced have been adapted by the manufac
turers of "O. N. T.”
At all the great International Fairs of the
world, “O. N. T.“ has been awarded the highest
honors.
The “O. N. T.” factories at Newark, N. J.,
and Paisley, Scotland, employ 5,200 operatives
—make sufficient thread daily to go around the
world four times.
Consume 140 tons of coal dally.
The manufacturers of “O. N. T.” are the
largest manufacturers of Spool Cotton in the
world.
A full assortment of this Spool Cotton can be
had at wholesale and retail at DANIEL HO
GAN’S. JACOB COHEN’S, MOHR BROS’, DA

“For water drinkers it ia of the utmost im

the highest type of purity, agreeable in flavour,
exhilarating by reason of its sparkling efferves

the APOLLINARIS NATURAL MINERAL

MEDICATED STEAM
Vermin Destroyer
DISINFECTANT,
A HEW AHD WONDERFULIHVEHTIOH
An Effective, Certain and Simple means op
Destroying
Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Ants, Moths
and Parasites of all kinds.
The apparatus for generating the steam
is an ordinary nursery lamp, holding
half a pint of the Medicated Fluid with
a tube at the top to direct the Medicated
Steam upon any point infested with in
sects. It is heated with a small spirit
lamp beneath the boiler. For Dwellings,
Hotels, Steam Ships, Restaurants, etc.,
nothing ever discovered equals this ap
pliance. It is harmless to human life;
inexpensive and simple in its use.
While a most potent means for destroy
ing vermin, it is the best disinfectant
known and may be most effectually used
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases, such as Yellow Fever, Scarlet
Fever, Typhoid Fever, Diptheria, Small
Pox, &c. One trial is the best proof of
the great advantages of this over all
other appliances. For sale by Druggists

Facts "vs. Claims.
Notwithstanding the great rush of Customers we’ve had during the past
six weeks, and the large amount of SPRING and SUMMER CLOTHING,
HATS and GENTS’ FURNISHING GCODS we’ve sold in that time, our
stock keeps still complete, as we receive additions thereto almost by every
steamer from New Y~ork. The people are realizing the fact that to buy
good Clothing is cheapest in the end, especially when they can be bought
at such low figures as we are selling them this season; and that we have
always endeavored to procure the very best goods in the market, and of
the very best makers, is a fact long known to our many customers. These
are not mere claims, but facts, of which we are ready to convince all those
who may favor us with a trial.
