ROS’T S. HOWARD, Editor.
JEFFERSON, CAJ±.
FRIDAY nOimiiti. April SO, 18*0.
—Railroad combinations continue to be the
order of the day.
—General Joe Johnson declines a re
nominat.ion to Cotigress. ,
—T!ie North Georgian has hoisted the
name of Gen. Gartrell for Govenor.
—Sam Hoyle the defaulting tax collector
of Fulton county has committed suicide.
—The members of the Ohio Legislature
will soon record their votes by means of
olectrioity.
—Denuis Kearney the California agitator
has been sentenced to imprisonment for
daorderlv conduct in that city.
—Jolly has. admitted that he had a hand
in the killing of Miss Victoria Norris. The
body has been found and indentified.
—The showing of the financial condition
of the Georgia Railroad for the last twelve
months is considered remarkably good.
—Hancock county is to have anew Court
House. We suggest that the authorities
vome up and lake a look at ours, and then
build one 'like it.
—The prospects at present promise a large
yield from the grain crops of Kngland and
the Continent. This will make bread-stuffs
cheaper in this country.
—You may rest assured that politics will
make things exceedingly interesting this fall,
already the clouds are darlening and the
nilitterings of the deep toned thunder is
heard afar off.
—This is the week for us to tel! the public
that owing to ill health Mr. Tilden will not
allow his name to be used as a presidential
aspirant, that bo has given up the matter
sometime ago.
—Treasurer Renfroe reports a surplus of
$250,000 in the State Treasury not needed
for any public purpose this year. Gov.
Colquitt has instructed him to redeem State
bonds with the money.
—lion. Thomas A. Hendricks will no!
play second fiddle on the democratic ticket
this year. He does not consider the office
*f vice President attractive to a man who i.>
or has been United States Senator.
—By the Geneva award the United States
recovered several millions of dollars from
the British Government. This money has
never been disposed of, a bill to that effect
is now before the senate and is exciting con
siderable interest.
—We sympathize with Mr. Hill he i
certainly' having a hard time of it. lie is
surrounded on all sides by foes, Kellogg,
Raymond, and the newspaper correspondents
are all trying to dig his political grave. We
hope lie will survive them all and live to tri
umph over his enemies and vindicate his
name.
—The report of the Senate committee on
tlie Kellogg case is causing some trouble
amongst the democratic senators at present.
The committee decided after a thorough in
vestigation of the facts to recommend the
unseating of Kellogg. Part of the democratic
Senators think this course would be unwise
while others insist, that it should be done at
once. As is usual our two Senators think
different upon the subject. Hill, who is
upon the committee, says expel him.
Gordon thinks it best to let the report
of the committee rest for the present,
upon the idea that it will give the Republi
cans something to talk about during the
campaign.
—The Republicans held their convention
to select delegates to tho Chicago coinven
tion last week in Atlanta. It must have
been a grand sight to have witnessed the
struggles of the workers for the various as
pirants. A large majority of the members
wore colored, and it was one cont inual strug
gle as to who should control and lead them.
The wliite Republicans found them unraanag
able, and disposed to have their own
way, besides they demanded for their color
a fair share of the offices, and honors, to be
distributed by their party'. The delegates
will go mostly in the interests of Sherman
and Blaine, but it is hard to tell what they
will do when the time for action arrives.
Some significant rema ks were made by some
>f the delegates, one, was to the effect, that
they did not propose to support Dr. Felton
anymore as he was too much of a democrat
to >uit them, and would not recommend re
publicans for office, but that they would
endorse Speer. We think the policy of the
j arty will be to put out candidates in all of
Fie Congressional Districts, where there is
any chance for devision amongst the demo
crats.

Mu. Editoh : — Can you find space for the
BBbllowing. The farmers are busy planting
preparing their cotton land. " This is a
pood farming section of the county, we all
generally make a plenty, and live ‘at home.
Levi Martin has anew organ and you just

Jolly, the alleged murderer of Miss Vic
t< ria Norris, in DeKalb county in June, 1877,
has been arested in Mississippi and brought
back to Decatur. He claims that Miss Norris
is still living and that he can show where
she can be found, lie is also charged with
having stolen a bale of cotton.
The Middle Georgia Argus tells a vera
cious story about a bald-lieaded North Geor
gian having a huge black spider painted on
the top of his* bead to scare off the fiics. It
almost frightened his wife to deatii when she
saw it, while he himself was knocked out of
his chair three times by people who wanted
to kill the poisonous insect without alarming
him by telling him it was there.
The Albany Neivs learns that a cyclone
passed over a portion of Lee county about
one o'clock p. m. on Tuesday last. The
track of the cj'clonc, as seen from the cars,
commenced about three or four miles south
of Leesburg, going in a northerly direction.
Fences, trees, houses, sheds, etc., were blown
down ar.d considerable damage done to the
crops, but so far there have been no reports
of any’ person being killed 4>r injured.
The Buena Vista Argus reports a travel
ing professional thief lately going the round
of Marion county. 11 is plan was to drive
about the county in a wagon as a peddler
by da}', and to visit hen roost3 and barns at
night. He was caught at his thievery a few
nights since and pursued. Being pressed
rather closely, he cut his horse from his wag
on, leaving it and his booty in the hands of
bis pursuers, but he himself made bis escape.
Americas Recorder: “ Mr. Thomas Broad
held, of Lee county, brought to our sanctum
a large chip of oak taken from the heart ol
a tree fu ly three feet in diameter. In this
chip is imbedded the horn of a deer with sev
eral prongs. Now, whether this horn was
driven in the small sapling many years ago
for a hitching post or whether the small tree
was impaled by the buck is the question.
The former, however, is the most plausible
theory. Those wishing to examine the curi
osity can see it at our office.”
Montezuma Weekly: Sheriff Bell en
tered the jail Monday morning, the 12th
inst. Bill Johnson, colored, who was in jail
on a charge of burglary, made a dash for the
door and passed out. Sheriff Bell and sev
eral citizens gave chase, but William was
striking for liberty, and made good bis es
cape. Wilson Paul, the boy murderer, had
got out of his cell into the hallway of the
jail, but was kept from leaving the jail by
an old colored woman who stood guard over
him until the return of the Sheriff.”
The Athens Banner reports an accident
to Tuesday’s afternoon train on the Athens
branch of the Georgia Railroad, which came
near being serious : “ When between Anti
och and Maxey’s the rear trucks to the mid
lie or smoking ear, jumped loose, the left
hand wheels taking the middle of the track
while the right revolved in open air touching
nowhere. The jar and shock, as well as the
fright to the pasengers, were terrible, but
fortunately no serious damage was done.
The train was soon righted and came iu on
time.”
Funeral Sermon.
Rev. 11. N. Rainey will preach the funeral
of Deliah Wallace at Walnut Fork church
on the first Sabbath in May next. She de
parted this life on the 4th day of October
1871) aged about G 8 years. She was for
thirty years an acceptable member of the
Baptist church at Zion. Iler conversion
was in the early period of her life. She was
a tender and affectionate mother kind in
disposition, sociable, full of benevolence and
trul} r virtuous. Relatives and many friends
mourn the lo9S of this worthy mother but
that loss is only her eternal gain of that
world of imperishable glory. She expressed
a willingness to die before she expired this
life, nothing but dying grace can give U3
this resignation.

Railroad Talk.
During the past week nothing of great
importance in connection witli our Railroad
has transpired, the work goes steadily on
and daily, additions are made to the amount
already subscribed which foots up over four
teen thousand dollars with plenty more to hear
from. There will be a meeting of the di
rectors in Gainesville the coining week at
this meeting the Directors will decide upon
the necessary steps to be taken. We are
inclined to the opinion that work should be
commenced at once. This more than any
other move would raise the confidence of
the doubting ones as to the ultimate success
of the project. We regard the future of the
road as settled provided the directors will
go to work at once. We can see no reason
for a further delay of this important enter
prise, every effort should be made to get the
road in working condition so as to enable us
to move the cotton crop this fall. We hope
that in our next issue we will be able to give
our readers more definite ideas concerning
the immediate building of the road.
Sawdust Made Valuable.
A United States letter patent was granted
March 25, 1880, to W. Grossman, of Pe
tersburg, Ya., to make railroad ties, fence
posts, paving and building blocks, etc., out
of sawdust. Thisartitieial wood, it is claimed,
can be made fire and water proof, and no
insects will attack it. It will take polish
and will stand higher pressure than ordina
ry wood. It also can be cut and sawed and
allow nails to be driven into it. As the
process of making it is very simple and
cheap, it may be destined to bring a revo
lution in the saw mill business; at least it
will relieve the saw mill men of much trou
ble gonceraing the accumulation of saw
dust.
