Wheat and Oat*.
We learn from Mr. Tom English, of Macon
county, that the farmers of that county are busy

Americas Recorder.
The pe< pit of Columbus will have an opportu
nity to-day of seeing the most extensive collec
tion of birds ever brought to this city. Professor
Leon arrived in the city yesterday and engaged
' the vacant store under the Central hotel, and
, was busy all the afternoon in arranging for the
grand opening to-day. An ENquniKK-SuN re-
1 porter saw his display of birds last night, and
can assiirt Hit people that lie has everything he
' claims to have and that no such a collection was
ever exhibited here. He lias about seventy
I cages, containing everything from the great
i American eagle to the wax-bill, silken finches,
| the smallest birds that live in captivity,
j Among the rarest birds which Prof. Leon ex
hibits are Chinese golden and silver pheasants,
: which are perfect beauties. Prof. Leon also lias
a considerable variety of small animals, among
j which are the wonderful “What-Is lt ?’’ a noted
baboon and a pair of pet monkeys. He has one
of tiie only two Hying vampires in America. His
collection is rare and well worth seeing. The
i price of admission is only 10 and 15 cents, and no
one will regret having paid it. The show is no
humbug, and we predict that it will draw im-
1 incuse crowds. The ladies and children are es-
I pecially invited to call and see the prettiest col-
j lection of birds in the country.
Invitation to the Asylum Children.
We are authorized by Professor Leon to invite
the matron and orphans of the asylum to visit
hi- bird show free. It is an interesting collection
of birds from nil parts of the world. They are on
exhibition in the store under the Central Hotel
from 9 a. m. until 9 p. in. every day.

A strange case came to light in East Macon
yesterday.
Henrietta Cook, a negro woman well known .
on the east side of the river, appeared before
Justice Sabers for the purpose of swearing out a
I warrant against her son-in-law, one Joe Kitch*
j ens. v ho had threatened her life.
Joe married Henrietta’s daughter in 1880. In
that year he found a negro named (ins Johntou
talking to his wife, and without much ado he
j shot tius in the head, killing him. Joe was sent
I to Ihe penitentiary for ten years, but was pardon-
: ed. out after serving five years in the Dade coal
j mines.
; .Shortly after his retirement to the peniten
tiary a son was born to him who proved both a
monstrosity and a prodigy, beinp half human
1 and hrlffrog. and withal exceedingly bright in
1 mind. The child was so horribly'misshapen that
the mother did not like to keep it, aim it was j
j taken by the grandmother, who became very I
much attached to it. The child grew to be nearly |
| six years old, but never walked. His hands and I
feet were turned outward, similar to those of a !
frog, and hN method of locomotion was by hop- \
1 ping. His jumps were prodigious, jumping from i
! two to six feet. There was no ribs on the left j
side, and he slept with the left foot around his ,
neck. Behind the ears and under
the chin was a thin membrane I
which filled with air as he talked. While he
could spe*k distinctly during his sleep he uttered I
a sound similar to that of the croaking of a frog, j
He was such a curiosity that he was kept confined I
in the house to prevent curious people from see
ing him. though he was well known to the peo- i
pie who lived in the locality.
| Last October Joe returned and saw his child j
for the first time. He took the child away from j
the grandmother and carried him to his house in j
t the country, almost a mile from town.
According to Henrietta’s statement Joe ill- |
j treated the child, and on last Sunday was so an- I
i gered with him because he couid not walk that I
he gave him a tremendous kick in the stomach, j
sending it across the room. On Monday evening I
i the child died. Joe then made his wife measure j
! the child and go after a cofhn. This she did,carry- !
! ing the coffin on her head.
I The coroner will disinter the body and hold an
inquest.

Running From the Fire.
The Pensacola Advance-Gazette has this to say
of a lady well known in Columbus:
“Miss Leah Simpson, who has been very ill for
some time past, was at Mrs. Toler’s hoarding
house this morning at the time of the fire, and
when the flames seemed about to add that house
to the long list of victims, a number of Miss
Leah’s friends took her on their shoulders and
removed her to the residence of Mrs. E. E. Simp
son, her sister-in-law. Weave glad to say that,
notwithstanding her extreme age and debility,
Miss Leah stood the transfer remarkably well,
and has suffered no relapse."

I Separate Verdict
FROM
Each Juror,
1— I find tliiil it is a short
lime before Gray will merit
the same trade he enjoys in
Savannah and Augusta in es
tablishing the " Columbus
branch.
2— I find Gray has decided
advantage in being so Ion-
acquainted with the Georgia
trade.
3— I find Gray must con
sume a great quantity of Dry
Goods for all his stores; hence
the reason for his low prices.
4— I find from boyhood
Gray’s name has always been
a household word for bargains
in Dry Goods.
5— I find all Goods so neat
ly kept and arranged that a
person can select any article
with ease and comfort.
6— I find one price lhoir|
strict rule, and politeness their
standard.
7— 1 find it is a pleasure fore
Gray's clerks to show goods.
8— I find an agreeable sur
prise at the large assortment
of Dress Goods and the mod
est prices asked.
9— I find Gray lias the
widest and finest Table Linens
in Columbus.
10— I find Gray is head
quarters for Mourning Goods
and Black Silks; also that lie
can show an elegant assort
ment of Parasols, and that his
White Goods department has
choice bargains.
11— I find that Gray man
ages business as if by magic,
with grace and ease, thai is
far beyond the reach of imita
tion.
12— i find that Gray, by his
long experience, vim ana
pluck, and low prices, lias
altered the people's com>c
when Winding bargains, ami
they all go to G. P. Gray A
Co.'s Trade Palace, opposifi

Opinion of the Judge,
Upon this verdict 1 timt
Gray guilty of causing the
whole city of Columbus being
thrown into a state of excite
ment by his large, new Spying'
Stock and bankrupt prices,
producing a thunderbolt
among so-called competih'i's,
and smiles to purchasers.
Being recommended to the
mercy of the court by the
jury, I will reconsider and re
serve sentence until next
week. In the meantime the
Trade Palace will offer special
inducements in all depart
ments. All are invited to see
their last arrival of Nevr
Goods.
