Waco, Tex.. May 9.1888.—Gentlemen: The
wife of one of my customers was terribly
afflicted with a loathesome skin disease, that

to her bed for si vt rai years by this affliction
and could not help herself at all. Sheeould

the physicians who treated it. Her husband

Late Tuesday evening while Mr. and
Mrs. Asberry Edmondson were returning
from a visit to the latter’s parents, six
miles of Cumming, their mules became
frightened and ran away, turning the

to say, was only slightly bruised.
Last Saturday Mr. Ben McKinnon and

his gun, the muzzle of which was pointing
in front of him, became entangled in some
bushes and was discharged, with the
above result.
A five room house on the plantation of

amounting to about 800 pounds, together
with 150 pounds of lard, several hundred
pounds of flour and several hundred bush
els of cotton seed, which were destroyed
with bedding, clothes and cooking uteusiis.
At Baxley, last Wednesday, Jas. Lands-
berg, a Jew, was conversing with several
gentlemen, when a large, double-jointed,
long-haired, ignorant-looking fellow walk
ed up to him and knocked him flat. As
soon as Landsberg was able to speak he
asked him if he was not a Jew. Landsberg
told him that he was, and with another
blow with double the force of the first, he
said: ‘‘You kilL d Christ, then.” As soon
as Landsberg recovered the second time
he told the fellow that Christ had been
dead for thousands of years. With another
blow the fellow said: ,l l just heard of it
yesterday.”
A remarkable incident, both of longevity
and the unbroken preservation of several
generations, recently came to the notice of
Dr. Rawlings of Handersville. He was
called in to see an old negro living about
two miles from Sandersville named Abram
Marshall, who was sick with a malady
which, from the nature of things, might
well have been old Doctor Saugrado s
“natural phthisic,” old age, though such
was not the case. The old negro had a |
colored woman, even more aged than
himself, in attendance upon him. The
doctor chanced to ask who she was, and j
to his astonishment was informed that it
was Abram’s mother. The climax was j
reached, however, when in course of con- j
versation, the old negro woman, herself!
eighty five, causaliy remarked that h< r ,
mother “was getting rather feeble now!”
Upon inquiry it was found that she was !
ninety-nine years of age, and has lived to
fondle her great, great grandchildren, j
Oid Abram is proud of being able to have ]
around him both a grandmother and j
grandchildren, while five generations are !

the la.ll of the knife, the heavy sound of
the body falling into the bran box. The
movements are almost simultaneous. The
knife falls. The criminal disappears.
As soon as the ceremony is over the body
is placed in a wagon and conveyed to Ivey
Cemetery, where it is buried in the turnip
field. When the parents reclaim the body
ano it is interred in another part of the
cemetery, no name is ever put upon the

a heavy winning against the bank Murray
likes to be able when he drops in to make
up the loss. If there is another place
hard run it is often good business to buy
an interest with spot cash, and then it is a
pleasant thing to most of those men to be
able to pull a big roll on occasion, any

Bats Imbedded In Ruck and Coal.
Last Thursday a living bat, imbedded in
solid rock, was found on the premises of
W. Y. Herriott, near Romey, W. Va., by
Mr. Herriott and Charles Corbin, who
were quarrying the rock. There were
several other witnesses to this remarkable
discovery. The hole in the stone, which
was in the center, was quite small, and the
bat’s body just filled it. The bat subse
quently died by being kept too near a
warm stove. Something similar to this
happened in the mine of the Swanton Com
pany, at Barton, Md., several days ago.
Anthony Rehs, a miner, while driving his
pick into the solid breast of coal, dis
lodged from a little pocket a live bat. He
took it home with him, and it died in a
few days. It was afterward stuffed, and
is dow in Mr. Rehs’ possession. Archibald
McDonald, of that time superintendent of
the mine, had a plaster cast taken of the
cavity in the coal, and it cofresponded ex-
of j aetly to ithe shape of a bat. The place
where the bat was found was about a mile

them have been recaptured.
