Mayor Hillyer, of Atlanta, lias vetoed
ftie ordinance adopted by the city coun¬
cil, a few weeks ago, allowing the Atlanta
brew ery to deliver beer to families in that
city. Tins leaves the old ordinance in
force, prohibiting the delivery of beer liy
the btewery.
The Atlanta Journal seriously advo¬
cates the location of tlie state technologi¬

There were two distinct shocks of
earthquake about Covington on last Fri¬
day. The first was about 4 o’clock in the
morning; and the latter about 2 o’clock
in the afternoon. The latter was quite
severe, and made the crockery rattle in
many houses. It lasted only a few sec¬
onds.
From sales of property made in Charles¬
ton, last week, it would seem that real
estate is higher now in that city than it was
before the earthquake. The Ravenel res¬
idence was sold at auction on Tuesday for
$16,120, f>r which only $16,COO was offer¬
ed belore the late disturbance, and it will
now require $6,000 more to put the place
in comfortable repair,

For the information of our esteemed
contemporary of the Daily Mad'sonian,
the Star takes great pleasure in stating
that the name of the new railroad is
"Covington and Macon, R. R.” It is not !
“Macon and Covington,” neither is it
. Macon and Athens, or < t Macon and
Madison," but Covington comes first in
the name everytiine, and don’t you fail to
remember that, Brother Madisonian.
The technological school has been lo¬
cated in Atlanta, just where the Star told
you it would be, and we approve the
action ofthe board in giving it to Atlanta.
Macon would have been a good place for
it, and came very near getting it But
Milledgeville and Penfield were not ac
cessible enough, while Athens was not a
proper place for it Now that it has
been located, we think that Atlanta and
Macon were the only places bidding for
it that ought to have had it Atlanta has
got it and we are satisfied.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, of
last week, we learn that Capt. Cowan, of
the engineer corps, of the Georgia Mid¬
land railway, has completed the location
ofthe road to McDonough, aad has gone
to take charge ofthe preliminary survey
of the Columbus and Florida railway,
which is a new road to be built from
Columbus. Work on the Georgia Mid¬
land is being pushed very rapidly, twenty
miles of track being nearly ready for the
cars. New passenger cars and a regular
schedule will be put on in a few days.

The supreme court has decided that the
whisky licenses issued by the clerk of the
board of county commissioners for Fulton
county are void, and the parties using
them are liable to punishment under

clerk, without the knowledge or consent

Valuable Farming Lands for Sa
On the first Tuesday in November Capt. John
E. McConnell, executor of Wm. S. Montgom
try, deceased, will sell about 600 acres of land
belonging to Mr. Montgomery’s estate The
lands are situated in Brick Store and HayFdis
tricts of Newton county, and are regarded as
among the finest and most desirable fanning
lands in this section. The lands are well im¬
proved, well watered and timbered, and will he
sold in lots of from 30 to 150 acres each. The
sale will take place before the court house door
in Covington, and the terms will be one half
cash, and the remainder in 12 months. Those
wishing to buy good farming lands, would do
well to be on hand at the sale.
Death of Mr. George P. Bunks,
Mr. George P. Banks, SOU of Mr. P. E.
Banks, died suddenly ut his home, three
miles south of Covington, on Thursday
evening, Oct 21, 1886, aged ab dit 26
years. He was a cleyer ai d genial young
man, of steady and Industrious habits,
and was generally beloved and esteemed
by all who knew him. He was not male
ried, but was boarding with the family
of Mr, Moore, who was a tenant on liis
place. His remains were laid to rest on
Friday evening, and were escorted to the
grave by a large concourse of Mends,
who had known him and ioved him in
life. Peace to his ashes.
An Industrious Little Boy.
Master Harry Levy, the little 13-year old son
of Postmaster J. M. Levy, of Covington, has
made a heavy bale and a half of cotton on ij
acres of land, the present year. On Thursday
last he sold one bale, weighing 566 pounds,
which brought him nearly $50, at the present
low price, and he still has half a bale to sell yet.
fie has done all the work of raising the cotton
himself, besides doing a great deal of other work.
After selling his bale on Thursday, he paid for
his guano, rent, and other expenses, which were
about $15, purchased himself a handsome suit
of clothes, and then had plenty of money left
to pay his expenses to the state fair at Macon,
where he is now gone with his father to spend
several days. Now, where is the little boy that
can make a better showing than this, from an
acre and a half of land ?
A Valuable Invention.
Mr. W. R. Powell, the watchmaker and
jeweler, who occupies an upper room in the
Star building, has been engaged during the past
two months in the construction of a model of a
very valuable and important piece of machinery,
which is the invention of Mr. Charles A.
Launius, a very intelligent young gentleman of
Morgan county, The device or machine is
called a “Power Transmitter,” and, it is claimed,
wili increase the power by which it is operated
from 400 to 800 per cent., or, in other words,
when this machine is driven by a 2-horse power
engine, it will increase the power to an g-horse
or 12-horse power.
The machine is fully covered by letters pat-
1 nt, which were issued Aug. 24, 1S86. T he mod¬
el just completed by Mr. Powell wili be placed
on exhibition at the state fair in Macon to-d.iv.
The ntodel is a very small affair; and is made
simply to show the principle of the invention
Lt is about six inches square, is made of polished
brass, and is a very handsome piece of work,
which reflects much credit upon Mr. Powell’s
mechanical skill.
The principle upon which the operating power
of the machine is increased, is that of “leverage."
The power that operates it works a lever, and
the lever gives the increased power, the increase
of the driving power being only dependent upon
the length of the lever.
The machine is constructed simply with four
upright or corner pieces, and two connecting
cross-beams at the top and bottom. Inside of
this frame are two upright pieces, one at each
side, which are attached to the upper and lower
cross-beams, Between these uprights is a sash,
or frame, to which the end of the lever is at¬
tached, and as it is operated, the sash is moved
up and down in grooves in the uprights, giving
power to a cage-wheel attached to a shaft in the
centre. A number of ratchet-teeth are inser
ted in the upright posts of the sash, those on
one side projecting upward, and those on the
other side projecting downward, thus operating
on the cage-wheel on the shaft at each upward
and downward movement of the sash, thereby
giving it a continuous forward movement, At
the end ofthe shaft, on the outside of the frame,
is the band wheel for driving other machinery.
The sash being thus operated by “leverage,”
conveys greater power than is required to oper¬
ate the lever, and gives promise that the inven¬
tion will prove to be all that is claimed for it.
Should it prove to be a success, it will be one
of the most valuable inventions of our pr esent
wonderful age.

Mr. James C. Blaine, the late repub! •
can candidate for president of the United
States, has hoisted the bloody shirt ban¬
ner, and is marching through Penn¬
sylvania, waving it aloft, and misrepre¬
senting the south in the most stalwart
manner. It is a pity some one don’t in¬
form him the war is over, and his “re¬
marks" are out of order. Purely the gen¬
tleman has not heard the news.
It is related of a well known Macon
man, that he recently went to Griffin and
attended church witli a young lady on
whom tie w. s very sweet. When the
contribution box started out on its rounds,
the young man took a five dollar gold
piece out of his vest pocket and dis¬
played it in such a way that the young
lady saw it. Site mildly rebuked him for
his extravagance, but he said he
contributed that much, especially
when in strange churches. Watching his
lie slipped the gold coin into his
pocket and slyly took out a silver quarter
which he as slyly dropped in the box
when it reached him. This fixed the
impression on the young lady that her
beau was generous and held the
in high e teem. At the close of
services, as was the custom of tho
tiie amount in the box waB an¬
nounced. The total was $3.75. Griffiu
has no charms for the young man now.—

The Most Wonderful Discjvery
Ever Made in America. Thousands have used it on their
roofs of every kind, and have found it all that is claimed for it.
It is known as W. Jay McDonald’s
Combined Fire and WaterProof CEMENT Paint
It in no humbttjr, swindle, or take-in to get to sell the territory, or to sell the Paint. It is
ready for you to test it, and know what it is. befori you use’st on your roofs. W. Jay MeDe.nald, of
Galuesvlile, has been for over 1;! years consolidating a Fire Proof aud Water Proof with a Cement or
Elastic body, which is so badly needed on Shingle, roofs, Metal roofs, Cloth roofs, Paper roofs and
Gravel roofs ; also on Brick walls, Brick pillars, Brick chimneys and for Wagons. PioW Stocks and
for everything of the kind. Because the lore Proof is tlid master of ail sparks or coals of fire. The
Waterproof is Impervious to water and keeps it out of timber or In irk. and of course preserves them
from rotting, freezing, or sealing oil. Also preserves metal from rust, and makes them all last twice
as long as they would without it.
The Cement completely stops all small holes or leaks in any kind , f roofs, and leaves it thoroughly
Cemented, with a nice slate finish on any roof. The Elastic body will contract and expand with ail
