He is making preparations now to start a bank in Birmingham with that capital. Rev. Mr. McClesky was transferred by r,JT. fer r ce fr °™ the Waynesboro church to the presiding eldership of the 8an d ersyille circuit. The opposition to this change was so strong that the bishop yielded to the wishes of the people, and the recent appointments have been re- voked, and Waynesboro is happy in claim ing Mr. McClesky as her own at least for another year. At Quitman, Friday, E. A. Groover, cashier of the banking house of Clayton, Groover & Co., while out collecting, mis laid an express package containing $3000. The package was unopened and addressed to the above firm from W. W. Gordon & Co., of Savannah, Ga. Five hundred dollars and no questions asked has been offered as a reward for its return. Up to Saturday no trace of it had been discovered. Captain William C. Yancey, ordinary of Troup county, while on his way home at 7:30 Tuesday night, was knocked down by some unknown person. The lick was a very severe one, rendering him almost senseless. His hallowing at the party at tracted the attention of Mr. E. 11. Carey, who went to his relief. After being knock ed down he was struck another blow. The captain pulled out his knife and was Qxing to defend himself. Robbery was the cause as he is a man of means. From the track it is supposed to be a white man. A terrible murder is reported from Rog- $ ers’s Station, Bartow county, where May ! Li Simmons, a colored girl of sixteen, chop- p artesian wells at Key West. It is proposed to bore down to the depth of fifteen hun dred feet, when It is believed that plenty of water can be obtained. A young boy named Harry Thompson day fell, and the ear wheels passed over his ankle, dislocating it and fracturing the ankle bone. The wound is a very danger ous one. It was thought by the surgeons that amputation wonla be necessary. At Sanford the daily weather bulletins will be discontinued on December 21, on account of the appropriation being insuffi cient to continue them. Cold wave warn ings, however, will be sent when necessa ry. The daily weather bulletins, asposted and transmitted free by the South Florida Telegraph company to stations along their line have been a great benefit to orange and vegetable growers, and it is a deplorable fact, says tne Argus, that con gress cut down the estimates made by the weather bureau. A Family Blessing. Simmons’ Liver Regulator—the favorite home remedy—is entirely vegetable, and is the purest and best family medicine that is compounded. No error to be feared In administering, no injury from exposure after taking, no loss of time. It is the best preventive medicine, and safe to take, no matter what the sickness may prove to be, and in any ordinary disease will effect a speedy cure. eod,SE&w When Lord (Tire Was at Whist. Lord Clive was on one occasion playing whist when he received a letter from Major Ford, commanding a field force, conveying important intelligence. Lord Clive did not interrupt his game, but mere ly scribbled in pencil: “Dear Ford, fight them at once. I will send you the order in council to-morrow.”—The Fortnightly Review.

Eiiic com pelled her younger sister, Rosa, to pack the body away in a trunk. When ques tioned as to the crime, May said a stranger entered the house and murdered her father. Subsequently she co fessed that she com mitted the crime herself. Her mother was absent in Atlanta. In her absence the old man attempted to outrage May. when she successfully resisted him. After he fell asleep, she dealt him six deathly cuts with an ax. The coroner’s jury brought in a finding of murder in the first, degree. The negroes talk of lynching May. Alabnina.
