Sutra from Fliirlil.i. (iroritia. The annual meeting of the policyholders of the Southern Mutual insurance compa- r y had a meeting in Athens Wednesday. A very gratifying report of the business of the past fiscal year was submitted, accom panied b,v the announcement of the largest dividend in the history of the company— ~'i per cent. Mayor it. K. Reaves was elected a director, to fill the vacancy caused I v the death of Major J. W. Nicholson, and Mr. C. U. Dorsett was elected to fill li vacancy at Savannah. The Southern Mu tual is doing much to save to the people of Georgia the large premiums paid in other states to foreign corporations, and its suc cess should be a source of pride to our peo ple. Last Saturday the people of Warnervllle. Meriwether county, witnessed a contest between a king snake and an adder, about equal in size, not very large. They were discovered on the piazza at Mr.McKnight's. The king snake was wrapped around the adder, tied in hard knots, with the side of the adder’s mouth in his. Both snakes w< re oblivious to all notice taken of them. They were carried on sticks n hundred yards to the store of Messrs. McGehce & Tunes. After a struggle of six or eight hours the king snake loosed his hold and the adder, much exhausted, made m effort to get away, but his enemy renewed the attack and swallowed him. This was witnessed by quite a number of persons v, ho were much interested and took par ticular notice of tiie battle between the -nukes. Miss Nobie, of Rome, has received a let ter from the wife of ex-Presidenl Jofi't r- ouii Davis, in which that lady says : “My husband begs me to tell you that he has been prostrated ever since his return from Lis tour through Georgia and Alabama with bronchitis and ophthalmia, and he fear.-:, dear as the object you propose to him is to all our hearts, that he will not be able this summer to go so far. With the best wishes for the success of your enter prise, and offering, if you think they will ;.id you, fifty of his autographs.” Athens Banner: It is proposed to submit to the voters of Athens the question of whether they are willing or not to issue t ends to the amount of not exceeding fd5,- 000 for the purpose of offering the state an inducement to locate the school of tech- nolcgy in this city. We have not a shadow of a uoubt but that the bonds will be voted, as Alderman White, chairman of the finance committee, can show that it will not he necessary to increase taxation one mill to pay the interest on them. It is important that Athens secure this institu tion. The Bainbridge Democrat prints the fol lowing card: “There huve lieen many in cendiary fires in and around Bainbridge during the past decade. At last one of the incendiary wretches has been caught up with, tried by a jury and imprisoned for lilt;. For so much let us be thankful. Of ail men or women the incendiary is the most damnable. The thief, the robber, the murderer are ail gentlemen in compar ison. Well, the negro, Turn Nelson, set fire to Mrs. E. T. Young’s house. That was clearly proven; but it was also clearly shown the grand jury that Toni fired the house with the consent of the owner, Mrs. E. T. Young. In fact Mrs. F. T. Young bribed Tom to commit the c rime, in order that she might profit by the insurance upon the property. Not withstanding Mrs. Young’s position in so ciety, and her strong connection, upon the finding of the true bill, her arrest was or dered. But when the sheriff went for her at her Ik me in Thoma-sville she had fled. Why don't the county of Decatur and the state of Georgia offer a reward for this fe male fire fiend? This is not her first expe rience, I learn.” The News and Advertiser has this to say about Col. Nelson Tift’s artesian well near ■Albany: it may seem a paradoxical asser- t on. yet it is nevertheless true, that two distinct streams, uumixed, flow from the same well. One stream is, as nearly as can 1 ; analyzed by the senses, a pure freestone water, while the other is sttongly impreg nated with iron. The mineral flow comes from a depth of630 feet, the casing of which is u six inch pipe. At that depth the drill pipe was reduced to four inches, and the rock was penetrated to the depth of T.50 feet, which gave a flow of 10b gal lons Co the. minute. A casing of four inch pipe was then inserted into the larger and forced into the small four inch well at. the bottom. Thu.-: is presented the novel re mit of a well within a well. A. sixteen f et stand-pipe, into which the water from the well can be turned, caps the casing, end when the water is overflowing from l at a tumbler placed over it will forma fountain in the shape of an umbrella of solid sheets of water, producing a most pleasing effect. At Ellaville, Schley county, on Wednes day last, a negro boy was arraigned before T J. lfixon on the charge of murder. TV. IT. McCrory represented the state and C. K. McCrory the defendant. The evidence v. ■ in substance as follows: Butler Ross, t!:<. defendant, was a nurse for Jordon Wil son. mul Wilson whipped Butler. For this Butler built a fire in the cradle where the i ight-months-old child of Jordon was sleep ing and burned it to death. The defend ant was only eight rears old, and seemed riot to understand that he had done any thing wrong. Justice Hixon. after hearing the evidence, ordered the defendant dis charged, as lie was too young to lie amen able to the law. fn Atlanta on Wednesday evening, at Edgewood. Miss Lizzie Hill Colquitt, the charming daughter of Senator A. H. Col quitt. was married to Captain William L. Marshall, of the corps of engineers U. S. army. The marriage took place at the home of Senator Colquitt. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Clement A. Evans, of Augusta. It is reported at Butler that, George Grantham, a well-to-do farmer of Schley county, struck his vt ife on the head with on axe and killed her,and afterwards threw hc-r body Into an old well. No arrest has been made at last accounts. The Baptist union meeting, held nt Fork church, Madison county, has decided that it is the duty of the church to discipline members for working and voting for the sale of whisky. The meeting was well at tended. Henry Frazier, a colored carpenter of Augusta, has been arrested and is now in jail. For the post few days he has been acting very strangely. His manner fright ened his wife to such an extent that she had him arrested. He will probably be sent to the asylum. The many friends of Dr. W, A. Ander son. of Snapping Shoals, Newton county, win be grieved to learn that, in conse quence of failing health and financial troubles, his mind has become so much impaired as to incapacitate him for the practice of his profession, and on Saturday last he was adjudged a fit subject for the asylum. Messrs. Middlebrooks & Edwards, at torneys for Mr. John Bryant, of Oxford, was so severely burned by hot steam in the collision on the Georgia Pacific rail road on the 11th of December last, some time ago instituted suit against the road for *10.000 damages. Last week they com promised the matter for flOOO. and ti.o lr.rney was paid over to them by the au thorities. Mr. Bryant was very painfully injuted in the accident. Alii tm mu. A mass meeting of the people of Macon ! county has been called to be held at Tus- kegee, Thursday, June 3d, in reference to dec! iring the proceedings of the las: coun ty convention void, and for the purpose, perhaps, of getting out an opposition ticket to the regularly declared nominations. The Hebrews of Selma, hifvlng been in vited by their friends In Montgomery to , attend the picnic given there Sunday next, have been endeavoring to procure a spec- 1 ia! train on the Western road, but so far without success. They are still tiving to procure railway facilities, and, if at all possible, sonic- seventy- five or one hundred of them will attend the Montgomery pic nic Sunday next. Late Tuesday night the residence of Ed. Baldwin in East S- Inm was burglarized of 8150; *100 of the money was funds of tHe artillery company, of whicn Baldwin is the treasurer. Several persons have been arrested on suspicion, but as t lie- evidence is insufficient to hold them, they have been released. The sympathy of all who know him is with Baldwin, whose friends are - legion. Citizens of Selma are arranging a grand excursion to Montgomery on June 9th, and I it is probable that Dallas county will as one man appear in Montgomery ns spectators j during the state convention. The state teachers’ institute opened for mally at Florence Tuesday. A full attend ance is here from nil over the state. All the instructors are present and much interest is manifested. *-— A special from Crenshaw county says: The farmers are taking advantage of the present favorable weather to destroy the grass and weeds in the corn and cotton so as to be ready to harvest the oat crop, which will be ripe in n short time. This crop is not as good as last year; the freezes of the past winter thinned it out so badly that in places there will not be more thaii one-third of a stand, but the supply of last year’s corn remaining on hand will be sufficient to feed the country until the present crop is made; from present indica tions there will be an abundance of corn far home demand in Crenshaw next year. It is pleasing to note that the farmers have at last come to the con clusion to raise grain enough at home without hauling it from town. If the low price of cotton has resulted in no other ^ood,.it has taught the farmers that the (arm must be made self-sustaining, and that cotton can only he grown successfully as a surplus crop. They were slow to learn this simple lesson, but it is to be hoped they have learned.it too well ever to for get. Much difficulty was experienced in securing a stand of cotton, and many had to plant their lerops over again. The weather for some time has been favorable to the growth of the plant, and it presents a healthier appearance than usual at this season. There is little or no complaint of cut worm, the warm nights not being fa vorable for their operations. Klurlilu. The oat harvest will begin this week in Leon county. Evinston, Alachua county, farmers are beginning to ship tomatoes. A large three-story brick block is to be erected on Franklin street, Tampa, at once. The June term of the supreme court of Florida, will begin at Tallahassee on Tues- uav, June 8th. The Leesbuig Rifles are endeavoring to perfect, arrangements to attend the Pablo encampment next July. Yboi <k Co., the cigar manufacturers of Tampa, will have a steam fire engine and company of their own. The plan for a Catholic church to be bui’t at Tavares to cost between $5000 and $6000 are being drawn. Mr. J. C. Gaffbrd, of Belleview, says the Ocala Banner, cleared $755 from a little less than an acre of strawberries. ' Crops are looking finely about Tallahas see. Cotton is a little backward, but looks well. Corn is well advanced and growing nicely. El Imparcial Is the name of a new Span ish paper to be Issued every Saturday in Tampa, the first number appearing last 1 Saturday. A negro man named Lazarus, living in Palatka, was robbed of $135, all he had, by burglars last Thursday. He had saved the motley to tiring his family to Florida. 1 Tlie I.c-esburg Commercial tells of a won derful freak of nature. It was a lien’s egg ecenl.v divided into two parts, with a hard skin over c-acL., the yoke on one side and the remainder ol the egg on tlie other. There are about half a dozen bicycles and u number of expert riders in Ta llahas see. A club will be formed and a nice ar ranged to come off during the grand inter- ; state shooting tournament at the fair grounds in that city next month. It has been demonstrated at Tallahassee this season that raspberries i-nn be grown in Florida. Captain Dyke, on Ills LeConte- viile place, bad a number of bushes that bore, and \\u picked from bushes in our garden as fine raspberries as we ever saw. —Floridian. Genera! AY. D. Banns, state comptroller, left Tallahassee for North Carolina last , week, Tuesday, proposing to he absent about two weeks. He has been unwell for some time and relief from the confining duties of his office was quite necessary to the restoration of his health. 1 seems til, t Orlando is to have competi tion in the gas and electric light business. Two comp mies have petitioned the coun cil for the privilege, and the ordinance committee of the council have been in struct! d to confer with City Attorney Beggs. draft an ordinance and submit it to the companies lbr their acceptance. Referring to the vegetable movement of ttint section, tlie Micanopy Gazette of lost Thursday says: There is a slight lull in tlie shipment of vegetables tills week, the season for beans, Irish potatoes and cabbages having about closed. A few to- 1 matoes have been shipped, and next week a general movement of cucumbers und to matoes may be looked for. The prisoners in the Putnam county jail again Inst week sawed at the liars in an ate tempi to escape, but were discovered be fore the bars were-cut In two. This Is the third attempt they have made to saw out ol'jail with old knives. The prisoners have been removed to another cell, and are now chained to the wall so that they cannot reach the windows at all. The Orlando Sentinel has received infer | mation from a reliable source that the ( gauge of the south Florida railroad will be 1 changed to the standard width September - 1st. The change will be of great benefit to ] south Florida, as the transportation of pus- i Scnge.rs, freight and mails will be expe- j ilited, and through trains can be run direct t from points north along the line of this i road to Tampa. -The band Still I’lup.” And every day makes tlie faith of tho ! people stronger in the power of Calisaya j 1 Tonic.
