tions.
__-Pricc Mathews, Esq., formerly of
this counly, has severed his connec
tion with the Milledgevillo Chronicle.
On general principles, it Is wise for
a rnmigman lo give his entire time
lo one profession, and our young
fricml promises well at the law, the
vocation of his choosing.
—Seme towns in the state strug
gle over the six o’clock question till

keep it np till the first of September,
with not a word to the contrary.

uplothe limes in the drag line, bill
also in cab'iict making.
—Mr. W. T. Flukcr mounted a trac
tion engine on (he square one day
this week just to show the lmys how
she moved. Everybody knows that
he is one of the best, mach’nists in
Georgia, but he was unfamiliar with

began to sizzle aud puff under his
, hand it struck the court-house fence
j a broad-side and began rooting up

—Washington is being used by
Thomson as an argument in favor of
licensing Ihe sale of whiskey. It is
true that a drunken man is a very
rare sight on our streets, drunken
ness is so frowned down by all. Our
neighboring town is in a great strug
gle over tho whiskey question. In
fact it is being made the question in
the county in the race for the legis
lature.
—One of the finest traction engines
over brought to Wilkes county was
carried threughttown Wednesday by
its owner Mr. Samuel Bunch. It has
a bright new appearance and moves
along quite rapidly. There is an at
tachment for guiding it and no horses
are needed for this purpose. It was

dred dollars, laid down at the depot in

—By a recent act any one is al
lowed to distill spirits from fruits for
his own use, free from intornal reve
nue taxes; but it is necessary to till
out certain papers before you can
lawfully do this distilling. Apply to
Dr. Heisry T. Gatcholl, deputy inter
nal revenue collector, Elbcrton, Ga.,
for lliesc papers. Wo believe there
is no cost conncotod with it; unless
you proceed without complying with
the law. Many labor under the mis
taken idea that because thoy can dis
till their fruit free of tax that there
arc no forms to bo complied with.
—We had a delightful drive v itli
Mr. T. B. Green on Tuesday over his
magnificent thousand acre planta
tion near town. AVc never saw any
thing in the great corn-growing
Northwestern states that could sur
pass the luxuriant verdure of his
corn-flohls. He lias several hundred
aorcs nearly all of which is breast
high and of (lie richest green color.
He plants his corn only on his bottom
lauds, llis wheat is splendid, and
his pats pretty good, considering the
unfavorable seasons that have been
encountered by this grain. Ills coi
toii is ten inches high aud not a sprig
of grass in It.
Mr. Editor : We have handed you
for publication in this issue of your
paper, an announcement of the candi
dacy of Judge S. 11. Ilr rdttuau, who
lias allowed his friends to offer his
name for election to the House et
Hcpre scuta lives.
Much cannot be said in a eoinmn
nicalioa like this, and wo will merely
stale *hat in every qualification nec
essary lo an able and successful legis
lator M.\ Hardeman has no superior
among our ch’zcjs. A gentleman of
Inte'ligenco and cultivation, learned
in Ids profession, familiar with the
ways of hU people, honest and capa

Mr. S. It. Halmor lias ill liis posses
sion a copper medal with dates and
inscriptions thatmako it a.most inter
esting relic. The medal is round,
| about a fourth larger than a silver
dollar and made of pure copper. On
one side is the the bust of a man in
base-relief and tlie inscription:
MOAN GALE ATI VS VIOECOM. A
FVNDAMENTIS INCHOAVIT AN
MCCCLXXX Vl.’’ On tho other side
also in base-relief is a striking repre
sentation of tlie cathedral of Milan
with the inscription: “TEMPLOM
MAXIMVAI MEDIOLANI.” The
translations of these inscriptions is
follows: “Jean Galeazzo Visconti
from Us foundation, in the year 1380,
(other side) began the grand cathe
dral of Milan.” History shows that
(he man whose name this medal boars
and whose face it is supposed to rep
resent, was duke of Milan in 1386, and
that ho began the grand cathedral
which stands to this day in tHat
city. lie was of a very powerful fam
ily, representatives of w.hioh arc now,
living in Italy.
Underneath the representation of
tho cathedral is this inscription:
“FItAN BIIOCCI I'F.CE.” This Is sup
posed to be the name of the architect
of tho cathedral or the namo of tho en
graver of tho medal. This mod'll,
without doubt, was struck to com
memorate the laying ot the founda
tion or corner stone of the great ca
thedral of Milan, which stands to
day one of the architectural wonders
of tlie world.
Tho most remarkable point in Con
nection with this medal yet remains
to be told. It was found in a cart
load of dirt from tho lot in tills piaco
now occupied by Mr. J. AV. Jackson.
Tho medal had been buried for ages
ami came from about two feet below
tho surfaco. When Mr.Palmer first got
it it was very much tarnished, but ho
rubbed it up, and the inscriptions can
be road now as plainly ns Hie day tlie
medal was made—five hundred years
ago. Tho mystery of how ami
when it got hero to bo buried, is
beyond solution.
Tho Batch Uaine of But lull.
On last Friday morning with fly
ing colors and high spirits tho baso
ball club ot this place, and a largo
number of their friends moved out
(•wards Centerville where they were
to meet the Loxiiiglon club ami play
a match game of baso ball.
The following names composed Hie
club front this place: L. A. Boliuc,
Frank Hardeman, J. T. Nocson, J. T.
Wingfield, Jr., AV. V. Ilill, John
Flowers, Joe Paranlha, F. R. Burdctt,
M. AV. Turner, J. J. Altearn.
Al 2 o’clock, tho appointed hour,
the game began. Through the first
five innings the Washington boys
played well and kept tho score
of the other side down, but after
that time thoir pitchor gave
out and tbo Lexington boys ran up
the score on them to a dizzy height—
Lcxjnglon 17 and Washington 2.
That the Lexington boys played
well the score shows very plainly.
Only seven innings were tilayed on
account of the rain. Tho Washing
boys say tho Lexington pitcher throw
curved bails and they were not ac
quainted with those kind; and Hint
Ihe club they played against were
composed of tlie best bnse-hallisls
Irom all over North-cast Georgia,
and they were not exclusively from
Lexington. Tho Lexington chili was
Ihe challenging party. AVo are not
sure that the above score is correct,
hut believe it is.
Some say the Washington hoys
took the woods ns soon ns the game
ended, us none of them could tell
what the score was; but wo do not
believe they look (o the woods at all.
Their defeat has really inspirited them
over the manly game, and they aro
practicing every day with the deter
mination of retrieving all losses anil
redeeming themselves.
