SR e Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, Vice- President-elect, was in Atlanta last Thursday on his way to the New Or leans Exposition. . A good deal of excitement has been caused in a New Jersey village by a German who kills vagrant dogs for food and likes the flavor. His neigh bors are a good deal stirred up about the matter. S cagad A BIG, strong school teacher of Blue Marsh, Pa., whipped a little 6- year-old girl to death last week, and is yet at large. Abe Buzzard has never yet been accused of anything quite so atrocious as that. Here's Ricuygss—Mr. W. J. Brown says he has a cow that while she is being milked large lumps of butter will accumulate in the milk vessel. This is indeed very strange. — Buchanan Banner. — —— > G — e~ The Virginia oyster navy has cap tured fourteen more vessels supposed to be engaged in unlawful dredging, but nine of them were released for want of proof. Virginia oyster laws seem to have an enormous loophole for so many schooners to sail through them in a bunch. s i i —ln the contest for the ordinary’s office, of Decatur county, between Col C J Munnerly and G F Westmore land, when the hoxes supposed to con tain the records of the election were opened they were empty. The seals were unbroken. It is a very myster ious affair. There is no clue. i gl Saturday night in Banks county Squire Cristler was called upon to joina couple together in the holy bonds of matrimony. Getting to the river, he found it impossible to cross. Determining not to be dis appointed, he summoned the couple to the water’ s edge, on the other side of the stream, and having the groom to tie a rock to the license and pitch her over, some 60 yards, he proceeded to tie the knot at the top of his voice Tur late wmillionaire speculator, James R. Keene, whoa year or two ago was able to raise or lower the price which every family in the land had to pay for breadstuffs, is now a bankrupt. His last horse was sold for a debt a few days ago. His ca reer ought to be a lesson to all men —especially to all young men—who aspire to realize fortunes by gamb ling methods. PR T A Boston man had to pay his rail road fare twice to the conductor. The conductor subsequently discovering his mistake, returned him the fare, but the Boston man refused to settle unless the conductor paid him $lOO. Rather than lose his place the con ductor did so. The Boston man’s scheme of blackmailing the condue tor is ingenious, and worthy of the famous Boston intellect. But it also shows that when a man runs to in tellect he may have a very little soul. Tur Washington correspondent of : the Atlanta Constitution says Mr. Cleveland has engaged rooms at the Arlington, to be ready on March 2d. “Cleveland will pay as he goes, hay-. ing declined all tenders of hospitali ty, even those from several wealthy citizens, who expressed a desire to entertain him.” The above shows that Mr. Cleveland has adopted Ben. Franklin’s maxim, “Pay as you go.” Our newly elected President has set a good example to the country. There are too many public men who dead beat the public because they occupy some prominent place. “Pay as you £0” is a good motto, and if you can’t pay, don’t go. | THE NESRO IN ILLINOIS. The Chicago Tribune and Inter- Ocean have specials from Blooming ton, 111., saying that within the last few days a number of threatening letters have been received through the mails by several of the colored residents of the village of Belle Flow er, stating that if the recipient did not immediately move away from the place, it would be worse for them. The colored people are represented as being greatly excited and alarmed, and it is stated that their children have been insulted and beaten in Belle Flower public school, until obliged to leave the institution. The assertions are also made that much the same treatment is being given the colored people in other central Illinois precinets, and notably the towns of Saybrook, Gilman and Sib ley. The attention of the post-office department has been called to the threatening letters mailed, in viola tion of law, and an investigation is on foot. THE CANINE CURSE. Observingmen are of the opinion thatan ordinary dog—and he is always hungry—will eatand destroy in twelve months the equivalent of that which, if given to a well-bread pig, would make him weigh at the expiration of that time, 300 pounds gross; 286,000 such pigs would aggregate 85,000,000 pounds of pork, now worth at the home shipping station more than $4,- 700,000; requiring to transport them more than 2,860 cars, carrying fifteen tons each, or a train more than six teen miles long. This would build 9,400 school-houses and churches, worth $5OO each, or would pay the average wages of 14,000 school teach- NOTHING LOST. The bone industry of the cour try is an important one. The four feet of an ordinary ox will make a pint of neatsfoot oil. Not a bone of any ani mal is thrown away. Many cattle shin-bones are shipped to Europe for the making of knife handles, where they bring $4O per ton. The thigh bones are the most valuable being worth $BO per ton for. cutting into toothbrush handles. The foreleg bones are worth $3O per ton, and are made into collar buttons, parasol han dles and jewelry, though sheep’s legs are the staple for parasol handles. The water in which the bones are boiled is reduced to glue; the dust which comes from sawing the bones is fed to cattle and poultry: and all bones that cannot be used as noted, or for bone black, used in refining the sugar we eat, are made into fertilizers, and made to help enrich the soil. As regards waste, it is the story of ithe pig: Nothing is lost excep) the squeal. HOW HE WILL PAY HIS BET. A novel bet, made in Rockland County before the election, is to be paid in the month of February. Some time before the election P. B. Les penasse, a sturdy farmer and a strong Republican, entered into. an argu ment with Hamilton, a Cleveland man, which resulted in a bet as to the result. A stipulation was made in the wager, however, that if the man who lost would walk from New York City to Washington, D. C., and carry with him a live pig and a roos ter, the money lost should be refund ed. The loser, Mr. Lespenasse, has decided to undertake the task speci fied. He will start on Monday, Feb ruary 2, from Madison Square, New York, for the City of Washington, taking with him a rooster and a pig. He expects to reach his destination on the 2d or 4th of March,and will be present at the inauguration of Presi dent Cleveland. As a means of de fraying his expenses he will sell pho tographs of himself and his two com panions while on his travels.—New York Times. ON the day of the assembling of the Massachusetts Legislature a ru ral gentleman, carrying a large black glazed cloth valise of the style known as “Kenncbeckers,” on which wuos strapped a bed quilt, appeared in tho shoeblack’s room in the State House basement. Depositing his baggage by the side of the chair, he allowed his large boots to made presentable. Then he requested the boy to send his valisz to his room. “To your committee room ?” inquired the boy. “No, to my bed room, sonny.” “Why,” said the youth, “members don’t sleep at the State House.” “Yes they do,” said the new member, “and be sure to have my quilt laid on the bed.” After repeated inquiries the new member found that it was as the shoe shiner had said, that mem bers did notlodge at the State House, and he went out in quest of a cheap boarding house. DAKOTA WEATHER. A GENTLEMAN from Dakota, who has been visiting the Exposition, states that when he left home the thermometer registered fifty degrees below zero. Men had their faces frozen by the brief exposure incident to walking across the street. On being asked by a curious New Or leans friend how it was possible to transact business in such weather, he replied that in Dakota people always expect to remain at home during a severe winter, and are always well enough provided with the where withal to make themselves comfort able. As for poor people, he stated that it might be safely said in a gen eral way there were no poor people in Dakota, as only men of energy and business experience cared to make their fortune in that region. On a clear, frosty day, he added that it was perfectly easy for a conversa tion to be carried on between two clear voiced men at the distance of a mile. ARGUMENT AGAINST CONCEALED Wearons.—William H. Stephens, a young man living in the third district of Dooly county, left Hawkinville on Thursday eveninglast. It wasa cold day and he thought alittle whiskey would help his feelings. He bought some, and on the way home he took a few drinks, He arrived at the home of his brother Richard O. Stephens, and in attempting to remove a pistol from his inside coat pocket, the wea pon fell to the floor and was discharg ed, a ball passing through his leit arm, between the elbow and wrist. Rich-i ard went after Dr. Johnson and the ball and a portion of the bone were extracted. The ball in comingin con tact with the bone, split in two pieces and the bone was fractured and a piece about two inches long was taken out.— Hawkinsville Dispateh. SMART ProrLE.—Sam V. Harris lives in Fort Worth. Neither he nor his wife are very smart, as will be seen by the followingincident. Last night Sam heard a noise under his bed. “Thefe is somebody under the bed,” said Sam to his wife. “It’s Fido, Iguess.” 1 No, I think it’s a burglar,” replied Sam. “Just reach your hand down and if it is Fido he will lick it.” | The burglar, for it was after all, overheard the conversation, and when Sam reached his hand down the bur glar licked it all over very affection ately. This was entirely satisfactory, and they both went to sleep, but when they woke up next morning there was not much left in the house that was worth carrying off. A MEeaN Insinvation.—He ecalled for gin, and in a calm, unembarrass ‘ed sort of way filled his glass to the brim. “See here, my friend,” expostulated the bar-tender, “that is gin you are pouring out, not water.” The customer eyed him rebukingly over the top of the glass, as he slow ly drained its contents. “Mister,” he said in a hurt tone of voice, “do I look like a man that would drink that much water?”’ | Just before “the late unpleasant ness” John Daniel moved from near Woodstock, in Oglethorpe county, by private conveyance to Texas. When he passed through this place, Charlie Dougherty gave him a dog, which he tied to his wagon and carried to his far western home. The dog remained with him about a week after his ar rival in Texas and then disappeared In a few weeks afterward he was back in this place, having traversed the entire distance alone.— G'reens boro Herald. A drummer for one of the largest liquor houses in the South tells the Athens Banner that, “The temper ance wave thai issweepingover Geor gia is death to the liquor business. You may take any wholesale liquor dealer in Georgia, and he will tell you that his business is not one-half what it was a few years ago. I shall go into something else as soon as I can.” He says the extent of the jug busi ness in prohibition counties is greatly exaggerated. The California Republicans who have made such boasts of their oppo sition to monopolists have elected to the United States Senate the biggest monopolist on the Pacifio coast, ex- Gov. Stanford, than whom, indeed, there are probably but two wealthier men in the United States, Gould and Vanderbilt. Gov. Stanford is the man who paid $20,000 for the flowers used at the funeral of his sixteen year-old son, and who paid $lO,OOO to Dr. Newman for preaching the funeral sermon. .

NO. 8. JUG VB. BARREL AND HOGSHEAD. ’ In his charge to the grand jury of Bartow county, Monday morning. Judge T. J. Simmons, of Macon, said that he had learned with pleasure that Bartow county had recently vo ted whisky out ofits borders. He said: "I urge upon you, gentlemen, to see to it that this law is respected and enforced. If you will support it by a hearty public sentiment and help to punish thoes who violate it, you will soon have very little use for grand juries and criminal courts in your county. I have presided as Jjudge in almost every section of Geor gia, and I find that violations of the criminal law are nearly three-fourths as great in thoes counties where whis ky is retailed as in the counties where prohibition is enforced and respected. The kind of whisky now used seems to give men a homicidal mania. When under its influence they are not satisfied with fist-and-skull fight ing, but use implements likely to pro duce death. Men may still continue to buy whisky and drink it, in spite of your prohibitory law. They will no doubt send to Atlanta and get it by the jug full, but it is better than by the barrel and hogshead. The evil influences of bar-rooms and bar room associations are also avoided. When men buy whisky by the jug full and carry it to their homes and drink it in the presence of their wives and children, they are not so likely to drink to excess, nor do they so fre quently commit erime while under its influence when away from the evil influences that always follow and sur round retail liquor shops. I have no ticed, gentlemen, that the dry counties in the Macon circuit have compara tively no criminal business, and that grand juries have an easy time. It is your duty to look carefully to the enforcement of this law, and see that any violations of it are speedily pun ished. The physicians of late seem to have become more earnest in their pro tests against the custom of kissing. They say that lives are daily sacaificed and diseases very frequently commun icated by promiscuous osculation. It cannot be doubted, they contend, that a larger proportion of the human family nonprofessional persons will believe is afflicted with maladies which are easily communicated to others by the contact of the lips and the inhal ing of thebreath. The infectiousness of consumption is generally admitted, and thousands of beautiful mouths, as tempting as roses, conceal thorns in the shape of fatal disease germs. eel G e Frank Riley,a rich Texas ranch man, squandered cash and property to the value of $25,000 last week while on aspree in Gainesville in that State. It is supposed that two depraved wo men got most of the money. The worst part of the business is that he has disappeared, and his partners fear foul play. Tty A — e “Drps't ever kiss a pair of ripe red lips?” inquired a modern poet. Well, we should smile! Who hasn’t? As the Texas delegate said, “What are we here for?” Cancers Conquered. The Swift Specific Company have the most indubitable evidence as to the cure of Cancer by their famous medicine, 8. 8. S. Among others, John 8. Morrow, an old and highly esteemed citizen of Florence, Ala., makes the following statement as to the merits of this remedy : “I have been suffering with Cancer in my right ear, for about three years. I tried various remedies and was treated with Todide of Potash, which produced rheumatism. My feet and legs were greatly swollen, so that I could not walk.. About one year ago I was induced to try Swift’s Specific, which soon removed the trouble in my limbs, and my rheumatism is now entirely gone and my Cancer is stead ily improving, being better now than ‘at any time within two years. This medicine has done me more good than anything else I have taken, and I feel that I am on the road to aspeedy. cure. Undoubtedly Swift's Specific is the best blood purifier in the world.” Florence, Ala., Sept. 22 ’B4. Jou~n S. Morrow. I have had a cancer on my face for many years. I have tried a great many remedies, but without relief. I almost gave up hope of ever being cured. Dr. Hardman, my son, re commended Swift’s Specifie, which I have taken with great results. My face is almost well, and it is impossi ble for me to express my thanks in words for what this medicine has done for me. Mgs. OLive HARDMAN.
