Dooly Vindicator: Mr. J. Henry Tav
lor, who is always inventing something,
made a large negro dandy jack last week
three feet and eight inches high, that can
out-dance anything of its size and life we
have seen. A secret string is fixed about
it somewhere, and he swings it on a large
nail up in his store, and Mr. Taylor con
ceals himself under the counter,and of all
the monkey mo ions man ever saw cut
this curiosity certainly does it, and as no
assistance is visible it seemingly is cut
ting up didos ol its own accord. Some of
the colored people are excited over it,
and say it is George Rouse, who was
lynched some time ago, come to life again.
Bainbridge Democrat: There is a negro
woman now living wlthiu five miles’ of
this city, who, we are informed by good
authority, is tbe mother of 42 children,
and who'does not look to be a day over 40
years of age. The name of this remarka
ble female is Jane Gotwell, and was up to
the time of death the wife of old Charley
Gatwell, the ferryman for Col. F. G.
Arnett in the days of lang syne. Old
Jane is yet hale and vigorous and tips the
beam at about 200 pounds. Her youngest
child is now tbe mother of children her
self. Old Jane was a very valuable negro
when negroes were negroes, having dur
ing her bondage presented her ownerwith
twin children on 14 separate occasions.
Bainbridge Democrat: On Friday night
last, near the hour of midnight, the
sleeping echoes of the woods one mile
southwest of this city were awoke by tbe
discharge of a shotgun in the hands oi
some persons unknown, followed by tbe
yells and cries of John Longwood, col
ored, a gay and festive Lothario among
the damsels of his own race in this
community. John, it appears, had been
out in the country paying court to a girl
and was on his return trip, when some
jealous rival or irate parent or kinsman
set, for him with a shotgun well charged
with bird shot. The intention of the
party who aimed tbe gun is apparent,
from the fact that the shot were oird shot
and that they took effect only below tbe
waist. John received seventeen of the
little pellets, and “won’t go there no
more.”
31 aeon 'lelegraph and Messenger: Yes
terday morning Miss Fannie Mangl)am,
accompanied by Dick Cubbedge, went to
the depot of the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Road for the purpose of see
ing some friends off. She remained in the
car until it began to move off, and in at
tempting to jump from the platform fell
between the platform and cars. Mr. Cute
hedge caught her hand and held on firmly
to prevent her from failing under the ear
wheels, but his strength was not sufficient
and she fell. A shudder ran through the
er.owd as her head disappeared below the
platform, aud every one expected to see
her mangled body. The train finally
passed and Jliss Fannie was found un
hurt. By almost a miracle she had fallen
between the track and platform, aud her
presence of mind enabled her to lie still
until the train passed.
James D. Craton, of Dallas, was killed
by an East Tennessee engine Friday, near
the Nelson street bridge, in Atlanta. He
was run over about 8:30 o’clock and died
about 10. His left leg and arm were horri
bly and tearfully mangled by the engine,
and the lust hour and a half ot his life
was most painful and distressing. Cra
ton was a merchant at Dallas, and was
also bailiff for the town district. Ho
came to Atlanta Thursday morning to re
main until the next afternoon. Coroner
Haynes held an inquest, and the jury re
turned a verdict of accidental death.
Some evidence was adduced to show that
Craton was drunk, but that theory was
not established. It was thought at one
time that Craton wanted to die and that
he kept on the track until run down, but
his great distress on wccountof his family
refuted this belief. His remains were sent,
to Dallas for burial. Craton was about
38 years of age and has always borne a
good character. He vwas the father of five
children.

Montezuma Record: Suppose Georgia
does raise a $39,000,000 cotton crop, what
have we to snow for it every year? After
liuying for such things as we easily pro

nothing to improve home, buy comforts or
even think of luxuries. As Bill Arp said
once: “We are nothing but a pasael of
fools,” and BUI was eminently correct,

known cotton to grow more rapidly than

Albany X'trtium: Thursday morning
■I. M. Kendall placed on our table a box
of peacbea from bia city orchard. Those
peaches usually ripen about May 20. but
owing to the backward spring they are a
little lute this year. The specimens be*
tore us are in the right state for ship
ment, with a few exceptions, the
exceptions being too soft for
that purpose. Mr. Kendall has
made a close study of poach culture for a
ti ii in her of years, lie says the Mar poach
blooms nb >ut iwo weeks later than the
other varieties, which makes them more
secure from frost. Besides this advan
tage, the worms rarely ever attack them,
as they are ripe before the worm usually
makes its appearance. He thinks the
early peach could be made the moat prof-
Itable fruit crop grown in tbia section,
and is gradually demonstrating that fact.
THE GEORGIA CROPS.
A Talk With the Commissioner of Agri
culture on tho Condition of the Crops.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Judge Henderson, Commissioner of Ag
riculture, was asked yesterday about the
crops of the State. Said he:
“Everything is growing. I never saw
crops grow faster.”
“How is the grass?”
"It is growing just as elegantly as the
corn anil cothin. Tbe farmers are not
afraid of the grass, however, as long as
the arops keep up with it. A grass sea
son,you understand, is where the farmers
are overcropped and can’t get around to
the grass fast enough, and it gets the
lead. When the grass begins to knuckle
down things arein a bad tlx, for von can’t
tear away the grass without tearing up
the cotton.”
“How are the orops pitched? Is there
more corn aud wheat in the State than
usual?”
“I don’t think there is more wheat. I
notice an estimate of the wheat crop
which is put at 2,000,000 bushels, and 1
would not be surprised if ttiat was not
about correct. The largest wheat crop
ever made in the State was 3,500,000. 1
think tbe corn orop as to acreage is 00 or
UK) per cent, of an average. The condi
tion of the corn crop is elegant. I never
saw anything like what the corn crop Ims
been doing tor the last 10 or 15 days, ever
since the recent rains set in. The acre
age as compared with last year is, I think,
about the same—possibly 1 per cent,
greater.”
“What are tho farmers interesting
themselves in, in tbo way ot anew crop?”
“Milo maize is the leading orop in the
way of something new. It has been
planted more extensively than in former
years. This speaks well for tbe farming
fraternity. If it turns out that it is not
injurious to the land, it will be a blessing,
because it will produce more to the acre
than corn will. It is quite as nutritious
for man and beast, and produces infinitely
more forage. Asa forage crop it cannot
be excelled.”
The Commissioner said further:
“The land is in better condition for pro
ducing than 1 have seen it for half a
decade. The soil is Well pulverized.”
“Are the farmers using as much guano
as usual?”
“Yes, they are using more this year
than ever before by probably 10,000 tons.
1 think a fraction over 152,000 tons was
tbe largest consumption of guano ever
known In tho State, and 1 am pretty sure
the receipts this year will be 1(10,000 tons.
The farmers have, however, made more
composts this year than usual, and with
anything like activity they should mako
money. 1 think, as a rule, they are prac
ticing very rigid economy.”
“How about farm labor?”
“I am told that the hands everywhere
are working steadier than they have been
known to do for many years.”"
The Commissioner says he thinks the
oat crop will be q short one compared to
the beretoiore.
POUR SILVER TRUMPETS.
Presented to the Governor'* IlnrseGiiard
by the Estey Organ Company.
From the Atlanta Journal, May 4.
Last night an interesting ceremony took
place at the hall of the Knights of Honor,
on Alabama street. The occasion was the
presentation of tour silver trumpets to the
Governor’s Horse Guard by the Estey Or
gan Company, through Air. R. It. Toy, the
head of the Atlanta branch of this well
known organ house. Several days ago
Capt. Milledge wsh notified by Air.
Toy that Air. L. K. Fuller and Air.
Julius Estey, ol the Estey Organ Com
pany, being members of tbe National
Guard of Vermont, desired to present
these trumpets to the Horse Guard, and
accordingly a. meeting for the formal pre
sentation and acceptance of the hand
some little instruments was held. After
the transaction of a few matters of com
pany business Capt. Alllledge formed the
men’in line and announced the object of
the meeting. Air. Toy theu stepped for
ward and said:
“Capt. Milledge. officers and meu of the
Governor's Horse Guard: It is with pleas
ure that I thus meet you, to note your sol
dierly bearing, your precision in move
ment and all of that—what shall I say?—
the tout ensemble, which indicates veter
ans. 1 say It gives me pleasure to make
ycur acquaintance, for I too have been a
soldier —and as I now look on
you, memory carries mo back twenty
five years ago in times which
tried men anil women’s souls. When
a boy 1 made the march from Manassas
Junction to Richmond and the Peninsula.
In after years it was my fortune to be a
cannoneer in the Seventh Battery, in
which my grandfather and father served—
a battery which dates its organization
from the beginning of this country, and
lias survived through three wars, the bat
tery which welcomed the Marquis do La
fayette to Virginia’s shores with salvos,
and ushered In tho 100th year of American
independence, with the centennial salute
at Philadelphia, in 1876.
“But, my comrades—for thus I may ad
dress you—dropping these reminiscences,
for wlilch you must, excuse me, it is a
most pleasant duty assigned to me to
night. I stand before you as the repre
sentative and exponent of two officers of
the National Guard of a distant State,
who, recognizing the powet and capabili
ties of this command, composed of tin
flower and chivalry of Atlanta, and
as a tribute to the esteem in which
they hold your gallant commander, de
sire to present, to you these simple tokens
of their friendship and the feeling which
they bold towards you as comrades and
soldiers. To the officers and troopers of
the Governor’s Horse Guard, on the part
of Col. Lovi K. Toiler and Col. Julius J.
Kstey, of the National Guard of the State
of Vermont, I present to you these trum
pets, with the Arm conviction that at
their blast you will he found nt the post of
duty, and with the ho[ie that, as u com
mand and as men, you will keep your
record as clear and brilliaut as this pol
ished silver.”
Capt. Milledge, in behalf of the com
pany, gracefully accepted the beautiful
presents and returned thanks in a very
pleasing and appropriate manner. After
the presentation, the company broke ranks
to enjoy a inagiiiffccnt supper which had
been prepared. A mon- mb resting occa
sion Dus not transpired in Atlanta in
quite u while, and the evening was very
much enjoyed by all present.
