A negro man named Joe Baldwin, who

near Mr. Fowler’s steam mill, last Wed¬
nesday evening, and painfully bruis

and had abate of cotton in the wagon.
The horse ran away, and smashed both
hind wheels of the wagon as he turned

Atlanta pays $1(50,000 interest on her

All public officials should be paid a

Dr. Gibson and wife, living near Cora,

It was a mighty lucky hit for an Atlan¬

can of oysters. It will sell lots of cans,
and maybe the girls will set ’em up.
You must not forget that the Star still
maintains that the Covington and Macon
and the Georgia Midland railroads will
both be built to Covington before a great
while.
The artesian water got a severe backet

Tiie vote on last Wednesday was a verv

The Georgia railroad will pay the usual
quarterly dividend of $2.50 per share of the
capital stock of the company, at Augusta,
to-day. This is now the best paying stock
in the whole country.
It seems that a negro named White
was run for governor, in McIntosh county,
and received more votes than Gen. Gor¬
don, the vote being for White, 289; for
Gen. Gordon, 286.
Hon. James M. Smith, of Oglethorpe
county, has moved a squad of his convicts
down on the Covington & Macon rail¬
road between Monticello and Madison,
and put them to grading the road to
Madison.
Twelve miles of track have been laid
on the Georgia Midland railroad, and 50
miles of the grading has been completed.
As soon as the iron bridge can be put up
over Bull Creek, the track laying will be
pushed ahead rapidly.
Mr. George Stone, the blind man of Ox¬
ford, will gather between 40 and 50 bales
of cotton the present season. He also
has a broom factory, which he manages
profitably and successfully. How many
young men with two good eyes can make
a better showing than George ?
The license of Mr. J. P. Sigman expired
on Saturday night, and he has closed his
business in Covington. On Monday he
shipped his goods to Rutledge, and left
himself on yesterday for the same place,
where he will engage in business at once.
Mr. Sigman is a steady, worthy and clever
young man, and’we regret to lose him, or
any other of our business men, from our
city, and the Star wishes him success in
his new home.
It is estimated there are over 370,000
drummers in the United States, and Mr.
Geo. C. Davis says if they will all go with¬
out their supper for just one night, and
give him the half dollar which their sup¬
pers would cost, he will retire from the
road, and let them have the field all to
themselves. George has already made a
pretty good fortune, and it would be a
deserved compliment to have his brother
“tourists” fast one night for his benefit. As
a friend to George, the Star hopes the
drummers will do it.

The negro man who was shot at Wal¬
nut Grove, on last Saturday night week,
mention of which was made in the Star
last week, has since died. He is reported
to hsve been shot by Dr. Swords in self
defense.
The ballot box must be kept pure. The
payment of taxes is a qualification neces¬
sary to enable a “sovereign" to vote. No
one is entitled to exercise his elective
franchise without this qualification.
Voters should remember tin* and save
themselves trouble.
Mr. W. W. Osborn says he will make
over 2,500 pounds of lint cotton on eight
acres, after paying toll. He has already
gathered over three bales, and hag two
more iu the patch. That is a good yield
and is hard to beat in this county. Wiley
is a hard worker, and we are glad to note
his success.
The election on last Wednesday passed
off very quietly all over the state, and but
little interest was taken in the matter as
a general rule. The fact is, the people
are tired of elections, and prefer, when
let alone by the politicians, to attend to
their own affairs rather than be running
to the polls to vote.
An effort is being made to organize an
assembly or lodge of Knights of Labor in
Covington. The Star wishes them well,
and hopes the order may prove a benefit
to the laboring man everywhere, as well
as the capitalist; but as we are all labor¬
ing people in this section, we fear it
will not prove as great a benefit as is an¬
ticipated.
Officers of the Georgia Midland and
Gulf railroad were in McDonough, last
week, taking notes for the subscriptions
made to the road at that place. The
amount of subscriptions asked for was
$15,000, and has all been subscribed, and
the company is taking notes for the
same. The road will now be built to
McDonough insiead of Locust Grove. It
now remains for Covington to “induce” it
to come on here. We cannot afford to
have it go anywhere else, no matter what
; l t costs.
Mr. James T. Corley was taken sud¬
denly ill with bilious colie, on Saturday
afternoon, while on the streets, and was
carried into the store of Messrs. Corley &
Peek, and a physician summoned to at¬
tend him. Dr. Griffin responded prompt¬
ly, and succeeded in relieving him suf¬
ficiently to be carried home late in the
evening. He was very sick until after 10
o’clock but was able to sleep the balance of
the night. Sunday he was much improved,
and on Monday was able to be out. The
Star (rusts he may long be free from such
attacks in the future.
Mr. Frank Reese, the train man, who
was killed by the cars of the up through
freight, at Madison, on last Monday night,
was fearfully mangled by the ruthless car
wheels as (hey passed ovor.his helpless
body. He lived only about 30 minutes
after being run over; and although lie was
frightfully torn and crushed, he retained
his consciousness to the last, and stated to
his friends that in attempting to climb on
top of one of tho cars lie lost his foot¬
hold and fell to the track, and was crush¬
ed to death by the car weels passing over
his body. His home was in Augusta.
Cluverius, the young man who has
been convicted of the murder of Fannie
Lillian Madison, at Richmond, Va.,has
been rc-sentenced to be hanged, and the
lOlh of December has been fixed as the
time for his execution. We still belive
he ought to have had a new trial, judging
from the evidence as published in the
newspapers. Our theory of the case has
always been that Miss Madison commit¬
ted suicide, but under such circumstances
as to lead to the belief that she was mur¬
dered by Cluverius. He was convicted
solely upon circumstantial evidence, and
ought not to be hung. No man ought
to be hanged on circumstantial evidence.
A most thrilling incident occurred at
Doraville a few days ago. A little girl
fell into a well where the water was four
feet deep. Her mother was hunting the
child at the time the accident occurred,
and fortunately happened to see her as
she fell. She was almost paralyzed with
fright, aud for a moment hardly knew
what to do. But in an instant her reso¬
lution was aroused, and rushing to the
well she caught hold of the rope and slid
down before the child was drowned. It
was unconscious, and required her utmost
exertion to revive it, which she did by
holding it out of the water and shaking it.
The water was waist deep, and the mother
and child had to remain in the well until
the father came home to dinner, which
was two hours, when he rescued them.
The child was soon all right but the brave
mother broke down, after being rescued, critical
and has since been in a very
condition.
These are Solid Facts.

A Startling Discovery.
Physicians are often startled by remarkable
discoveries. The fact that Dr. King’s New Dis¬
covery for Consumption and all Throat and Lung
diseases is daily curing patients that they have
given up to die, is startling them to realize their
of duty, and examine into the merits of
this wonderful discovery; resulting in hundreds
of our best physicians using it in their practice.
