a cotton-mouth snake bit him on the sec
ond finger of the left hand. The wound
is now healed up but there are several
large sores on bis hand, and it is very
feverish. In winter it partly heals up,
and he can use it a little; but on the ap
proach of w arm weather it breaks out
afresh and becomes so stiff that he can
do nothing with it.

During the storm at Summerville last
Friday evening lightning struck a walnut
tree across the road from E. N. Martin’s
house, it tore up the bark from near the
top to the foot, varying in width from hall
an inch to tour Inches. In the wood thus
left bare numerous little cracks could be
seen running diagonally across, tbe
cracks and fibres between them being
about the size of the teeth of a fine tooth
comb and the Interstices between them.

tays it scared her nearly to death.
At Rome, Saturday, in the Dwinell-
HideM case, which had been before the
Superior Court of Floyd county all the
week, the verdict of the jury was an
nounced in open court. The suit was for
a balance of $2,114, claimed to be due as

iron safe and a desk, which the plaintitl
claimed were not included In the sale.
Saturday atternoon about 4 o’clock a
severe wind storm passed over Monte
cuma, causing large deposits of sand in
the store-houses and considerable con
iternution among the cltileus. It also
passed through Dooly, demolishing trefcs
and fences in Its pathway. Montezuma
was in the edge of tbe storm, and the peo
ple could see the revolving motion of the
clouds, hear the roaring and crashing as
of heavy cunuonading, as they stood tn
almost breathless anxiety, awaiting the
decrees of fate, knowing not how soon
they would feol its terrible force.

Turner Moon, one of the Athens police,
besides attending to the duties of a police
man, has at his quiet little home one of
the finest apiaries in the State. He took
from one gum a few days ago 48 pounds
of honey, which sells readily at six pounds
tor sl. Mr. Moon takes great pride in his
bees, and has aU the modern improve
ments in gums. His bees are mostly of
the Italian species. He has 13 colonies,
aud if they all turn out like the colony
from which he has just extracted, they
will make him a very handsome return.
The honey is all made from white clover,
which is said to be better for bees than
anything else. Since the stock law has
gone into eflect the white clover is doing
finely. It is a great deal better for bees
than cattle. Mr. Moon expects to in
crease his colonies, and in a few years
will have bees to sell.
At the March term ot the Superior Courtr
of Dooly county four men, John Cham
pion, John Gunn, Willeford, and Atkin
son, were tried for larceny. Atkinson
was convicted and sentenced to the chain
gang tor one year. The others were ad
judged by the citizens more guilty, but
were acquitted by the court. A regula
tion committee was organized, and it noti
fied the other three men to leave the county
within three days or be prepared to take
the consequences. Champion and Gunn
left, but Willeford allowed himself to stay
one night too long, when he was taken
from his house down into a creek swamp
and received a most unmerciful beating
for his conduct, and made to give the en
tire history ot his operations since he and
his coadjutors had been engaged in their
nefarious work. He was given 12 hours
to leave the county, but he only required
two.
Albany News: It was a great disap
pointment to the people of Albany, who
bad made such elaborate preparations,
though on short notice, that ex-President
Davis and his charmiug daughter made
such a short stay in the Artesian City.
The young men had tendered Miss Davis
a “german,” and expected to present her
a beautiful watch and chain as a token of
their appreciation ot her visit to our city.
But the short visit interfered with the
programme. It was determined, how
ever, to send the watch to her, which was
done yesterday. It was an exquisite
chatelaine lady’s watch of great beauty
and finish. To the short fob chain was
attached a beautiful golden horseshoe
from which on three delicate chains were
suspended a golden saddle, stirrup and
whip. Engraved on the watch is this in
scription: “Compliments of the Albany
German Club to Miss Winnie Davis.
May 10,1888.”
In the suburbs of Macon, especially in
the sparsely settled commons east of the
river, quite anew industry has sprung
up. Since the no fence impounding law
went into effect, several shrewd citizens,
generally colored, manage to make a
pretty good speck by taking up their
neighbors’ stock and charging exorbitant
prices for their trouble, it is asserted
that some employ a boy, whose business
it is to run in all pigs, cows, goats or
horses found at large, whetner on the im
pounder’s premises or not. The boy gets
25 cents a head royalty. Some people,
whose 50-cent goats go astray, prefer to
allow the holder to retain them rather
than pay $1 or $2 each for their ransom.
Only the otfier day a widow woman was
lorced to pay $2 50 to redeem two mules
that escaped from her lot. A man’s cows
got out of sight.. A negro took them up,
and $4 was required to regain them. A
twenty-live cent pig must be redeemed at
from $1 to $2, as the impounder thiuks fit
to charge, and other infamous exac
tions and extortions are practiced. Quite
a number of law-abiding citizens have
grown indignant, and the first thing these
people know, outraged justice will find a
way to deal with them. Several have
pledged themselves to keep a sharp look
out, and when proof can be obtained that
stock is unlawfully impounded, they will
bring an action ior larceny against the
perpetrators and see if there is not some
law to protect those who have now be
come the prey of a few infamous scoun
drels. It is thought that proof of illegal
ly running in will not be hard to obtain,
and when it can he had an example will
be made ot somebody.

two very dangerous, if hot fatal, wounds.
Wright "was arrested at once and taken

A young man in the employ of Mr. As
ton on his farm, about four miles east of

ing the garden and was returning to tbe

shore of the lake the mule became fright
ened at something and bolted straight Into
the water, in spite of the efforts ot the
driver to prevent him, and was quickly in
deep water. The man was uuable to
swim, and although the gardener and his

Alachua county’s grand jurymen say:
“We find that the Board of public In
struction allowed $3,000 for the erection
of a public school building in the city of
Gainesville out of the funds in their hands
unexpended for the year preceding the
allowance; and this, with other calls
upon the school funds, so reduced the
school moneys that the warrants of teach
ers could not be paid promptly. While
we rejoice in having comfortable and
handsome school buildings, and other im
provements eummenßurate with the
growth and increase of our county, we
would suggest that the school board and
the Board of County Commissioners use
such forethought and caution in the ex
penditure of public moneys, tnat every
one in the county may receive full benefit
from same.”
THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST
What the State Press in Saying
About It.
From the Middle Beorgia Times.
The honest Democrats demand prima
ries; the politicians, as a rule, oppose
them, because they cannot be manipu
lated. Fair methods in nominations is the
platform of the Times.
From the Excelsior Pioneer and Eagle.
Mr. Bacon has stuck to Georgia like an
Irishman to his clay pipe, and did not
flinch when carpet-baggers were trying to
cut the throat of tbe Democratic party in
Georgia, but just smoked right on.
From the Brunswick Advertiser and Appeal.
The political Gubernatorial pot has al
ready began to simmer, and we are asked
everv day the question, “Bacon or Gor
don?” We answer—neither; for we do
not know that the people of the State oi
Georgia want either.
From the Thomasville Times.
The friends of Ger., Gordon will make
nothing by assailing Maj. Bacon, nor will
the friends of Maj. Bacon make anything
by assailing Gen." Gordon. They are both
men of merit, and are entitled to the re
spect and confidence of the people of
Georgia.
From the Marion Patriot.
There is nothing against the character
of the Hon. A. O. Bacon nor his fitness
for the office of Governor of this State.
The fact that he has made several unsuc
cessful attempts to be Governor does not
unfit nor disqualify him for the high and
honorable position".
From the Fort Valiev Mirror.
Other things being equal Houston peo
ple will never go back on a good soldier,
and they honor Gordon for his war ser
vice; and while it may be true, as some
say, that we don’t want any more war, it
is a good policy to reward and honor the
man who is true to duty in times of dan
ger.
From the Cedartoirn Advertiser.
At present Maj. A. O. Bacon is the only
pronounced candidate against Gen. Gor
don. He has been striving for the office
for a number ot times consecutively and
has’gained no inconsiderable strength.
He made a good presiding officer when
Speaker of the House, is possessed or ex
ecutive ability, while no charge of dis
honesty has been brought against him.
He would make a fair chief executive,
but we believe the people prefer Gen. Gor
don.
From, the Fort Baines Tribune.
We would be glad to see either gentle
man in aay office he mlgnt aspire to, but
there being but one office of this kind, one
of our Gubernatorial aspirants will get left
—and we hate it, too. It will soon be
come us to raise tee name of one of these
men to our mast-head as candidate for
Governor, but when wo do we expect to
support and defend him, but will not, as
some papers do, stand on our head aud
kick ourselves to pieces, dealing out slan
der and vituperation at him wnom we op
pose.
From the Daily Madisonian.
We heard an Atlanta man say the
other day that in a few days Hon. Patrick
Walsh would anuouuoe tor Gordon, and
if by any contingency a deadlock was
brought about in the nominating conven
tion, Col. Evan P. Howell, of the Consti
tution. would endeavor to run in as a
compromise candidate. We told hi in we
had too much confidence in the chivalry
of Walsb to think that be would turn
from the manly defense of a grand Demo
crat, and that we bardiy thought that
this was a year for dark horses.
From the iptitman Free Press.
The canvass between Gen. (Jordon and
Maj. Bacon will no doubt be heated and
pushed energetically by each party, but
we hope it will be free trom bitterness or
anything that will be likely to alienate
the friends of each from the other. In
other words, we want it so conducted
that when the Democratic convention
meets and settles upon their standard
bearer all the nosts will, as one man,rally
to his support, and there will be no
“Achilles sulking in his tent,” and re
fusing to join in the battle because of
what was said or dono previous to the
nomination.

Judge A. C. McCalls and Hon. W. L.
Peek, Imth of Rockdale county, are aspi
rants for Senatorial honors. Rockdale
claims the right to name the man this
time iu accordance with the rotation
system.
U seems now that Hon. Seaborn Reese
will have no opposition for Congress in

Col. VS . H. Mattox, of Elbert, withdrew
some time ago.
John P. Shannon, of Klberton, Chair

Eighth Congressional district, has ac
cepted a clerkship to one of the commit

when that committee will bo called to

A correspondent at Hcarboro, Scriven
county, writes that tbe crops look well
and that the iwoolo do not propose to stop
work to meddle with polities. Both can
didates for Gubernatorial honors have
many friends in - the oounty, but the can
vas* will he a quiet one.
Elbert county hae no candidate in the
fi-id yet for the Legislature. Two local
questions, stock law and prohibition, are
tee agitating issues, though both have
been adopted in the county. Considerable
dissatisfaction prevails as to the stock
especially, as the vote for it was largely
ih the minority.
Major Campbell Wallace, chairman of
the railroad commission, is one of the
strongest and most earnest supporters of
General Gordon in the present campaign.
A committee of gentlemen who were un
decided as to whom they would support,
nulled on Major Campbell Wallace and
asked him if he had any objections to skat
ing his reasons fnr supporting General
Gordon. “None at all.” said Major Wal
lace. “In the first race 1 supported him
in 1868, when he ran against Governor
Bullock and was counted out. and l have
never quit supporting him since.” “Has
his position on the railroad commission
anything to do with your support?” It
has. 1 know that he is absolutely sound
on the railroad law, aud that he can be
depended on to maintain it. If 1 did not
know this of my own knowledge I would
not support him. I would not support
my own brother if I did not know lhat he
was right on the question that 1 consider
all important to the people.”
Remembered Washington’s War.
From the Grijfisi t (id.' Hews.
An aged negro, Abram Williams by
name, sitting in tbe office ol Commis
sioner Maugham, was approached, and
began to give an account of himself, as
follows:

RELIEF
Forty Years a Sufferer from
CATARRH!
WONDERFUL TO RELATE.
For forty years I have been a victim to Ca
tarrh—lliree-fourths of the time a sufferer
from excruciating pains across my forehead
and my nostrils. The discharges were so
offensive that I hesitate to mention it. except
for tbe good it may do some ot her sufferer. I
have spent a vouug fortune from my earnings
during my forty years of suffering to obtain
relief from the doctors. I have tried patent
medicines—every one I could learn of—from
the fpur corners of the earth, with no relief.
And at last (67 years of age) have met with a
remedy that has cured me entirely—made me
anew man. 1 weighed 128 pounds and now
weigh 146. I used thirteen bottles of the
medicine,, and the only regret I have is that
being in the humble walks of life 1 may not
have influence to prevail on all catanh suffer
ers to use what has cured me.

AT KROUSKOFF’S
Mammoth Millinery House
It is always expected to find the most complete Millinery
Stock, but this season excels it. The stock in line Spring
illld Summer Millinery is immense, and we are retailing
on our first floor at wholesale prices, which is a saving of 30
to 40 per cent. In other words, Ihe patrons of KROUS
KOFF’S pay no more for their Millinery than the same
goods would cost to the largest retailers here.
It should also lie considered that ladies are not restricted
in their selections to such limited stocks as are found else
where, but can make their choice from an almost endless
variety of shapes in fine and medium grades—white, black,
and colored —for ladies, misses, and boys.
Our lines of Flowers, Tips, Plumes, etc., are in the
same proportion.
Our Trim tiled Huts, to look at them, would delight
you, and to price them would gladden the hearts of those who
love to save their dollars. We continue the sale of our
Ribbons at same prices heretofore.
