The medal was worn as a badge of a society In the college at which he was educated. It is In the shape of a heart, and bears the following inscrip tion: “E. H. Linonia, Sept. 12, 17ft.”.” Commodore Hopkins commanded a fleet in the United States Navy during the Revolutionary war, and was noted for his skill and daring. He was a brother to Stephen Hopkins, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. 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.

Facts from the Farms. GEORGIA. The hogs are dying around Vienna. Wool is selling at 19 cents per pound in Pulaski county. Watermelons in Brooks county are the size oi a quart cup. The farmers of Clarke county report crops as tine as the land can produce. Air. Berry L. Williams has the finest crop of corn, cotton aud watermelons in Brooks county. Mrs. J. 15. Hodges, of Houston, has a Toulouse goose that laid 31 eggs this sea son before she was a year old. Dr. J. M. Palmer, of Oconee, disposed of 100 pounds of new honey in Bandersville last Friday at 15 cents a'pound. Bacon is lower this summer than it has been since the war, a fact which will add much to the farmers’ income next fall. If the season holds out there will be more corn made in Dooly county this year than there has been in a number of years. Small lots of cotton continue to be shipped from Albany. Fiity or sixty bales went over the Southwestern Rail road Wednesday. Corn and oats in Worth county are re ported as m excellent condition. Cotton has, to some extent, the “sore shin,” and lice are beginning to assemble on it; but tbe latter will not seriously interfere with its growth. Albany Medium: Chickens continue to (lie of cholera, but the egg market is kept supplied in some way. There is no particular shortage in this valuable crop, and they are sold at 17>sC., frequently us low as 15c. per dozen. Bainbridge Democrat: Dr. Parker, of this city, has a herd of ‘22 head as pretty Devonshire cows as there is in Georgia, probably, and they must be seen together to be appreciated. Some ol his slock are from Virginia and some from Pennsyl vania, and are line specimens of stock. The first watermelon of the season was received in Atlanta on Friday by Mr. l)it tler, a Whitehall street grocer. It was sent him by a friend in Florida. The melon attracted much attention and many efforts were made buy it and fancy prices were offered. It weighed 22 pounds. 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 duce aud manufacture at home, there is 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, (sulluinn .Vet o South: We have never known cotton to grow more rapidly than in the last few days. Corn has doubled itself since tbe tain set in. Oats have vastly improved, unil, while many fields are not. us high hh in termer sea-ons, they are sufficiently high to lie cut. The heads are full and the grain well matured—less straw, but as many oats. They are now being harvested. They come in a good 'time, the (Hriners were needing them to I splice out their coru. Perry Horne Journal: The largest hunch of “greens” we ever saw was sent to this office last Friday by Mr. John Leary, who is farming on the Turrentine place, about three miles southwest of Perry. This bunch of “greens” was a rutabaga turnip top. The turnip meas ured 14 inches in circumference, wails the top measured 30 inches In height and 4 feet across—natural spread. This tur nip and top is a lair sample of a square iti Mr. Leury’s garden. Midway between Montezuma and Haw. kinsviiie on the plantation ol W. F. Rich ardson, In Houston county, there is a mammoth chiinpiupin tree which was about the size of a walking cane 30 years ago, when ho cleared the place. It is 10 indies in diameter, 7 feet to the first limb, and Is about -'to lent high. It brunches like an umbrella china, and shades 43 feet across. It yields many bushels of nuts every year. The chin quapins are dwarf chestnuts and rarely ever attains the size ol a tree. 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. While the fli-irts we’re roaming over.
