few days ago Dr. Hicks, of this county,
foond several large rata floating on the
water in the well at bis gin-house. He
put bis little bod, Gainer, in a basket to
windlass him down after the rats. But
when the little fellow got down to within
about fifteen feet of the water, the rope,
which was only fastened to the windlass
by a noose, slipped, and the little fellow
went to the bottom like a shot. His
father, to prevent him from getting ex

then, as it nothing bad happened, called
to him, “get the rate! get the rate!!”
The ruse succeeded. Gainer got the
rats, climbed into the basket, and was

his father went, he had almost despaired
finding him, when, upon turning into the
darkest and densest portion of the thicket
he came suddenly npon the body of bis
father hanging from a willow sapling. It
seems that he had taken his plow-line,
and climbing np into the tree, carefully
adjusted the noo3e and deliberately hung
himBelf. The coroner was immediately

dict rendered in accordance with the
above facte. He leaves a wife and several
children to monrn his loss. His remains

We clip thoabova paragraph jfrom one

gained from those who claim to know is
that the * >tt!e above roferred to is the
same oir load of twenty-one head bought
by Mr. George Vinyard, of Golveaton,
nineteen out of the twenty-one being
bought of Mr. Bonner, and other citizens
of this connty and driven to Dalton for
shipment, ao two alone were from Whit
field, and we are informed they originated
from Gordon connty stock a few years

field has as much fine stcok in It as any
connty in the State, we love to admit
any honors that belong to our seotioa,
but will venture tho statement: Gordon
county has five times tbe amonnt of blood
ed stock Whitfield has. While we are
on the cattle subject, we will say we are
informed that one o! onr citizens ia mak
ing arrangements to import a full blood
Brahmin bull direct from India, and it is
olaimed there is not one now in the Uni

near fifteen hundred dollars. The Brah
mins are the kind Mr. Vineyard bought
around here, and so well pleased ia he with
bis purchases that he expresses the in
tention of retaining in the fall for anoth
er car load. Other parties in Texas
have been writing letters inquiring
abont car cattle.

A SUMMER AFTERNOON.
BY Of ABY E. POISON.
Tbe sunlight s’eeping ou the hills
In drowsy splendor dreams away
The long slow hour* as if it felt
The rapture of a perfect day.
The mountains stretch, broad waving line
Of purple light along the sky,
■Whileat the'.r feet rich shadows veiled
Serene and fair the meadows lie.
There comes to us the hum of bees;
A bird flits by on startled wing.
And through dim arches in the woods
We hesr the swaying breezes sing.
With rippling laugh and silvery sheen,
Through cool, green haunts of moss and fetn,
The broot betrays its hiding place,
And clearer grows at every turn.
The wild rose lifts its blushing face
Above the wayside grasses low.
While pale wood lilies in the shade
Their anow white bells swing to and fro,
O. golden summer afternoon,
We r.at content: we ask no more
Only to hear the wind repeat
The self-same story o’er and o’er.
Only to breathe the fragrant air,
To watch the lights and shadows play,
To quaS the nectar that the tun
In brimming breakers poars to-day.
It is cnonah to be. to feel
The tranquil mood of field and wood,
To know God’s blessing everywhere
Hath made so much that’* fair and good.
—Springfield Republican.
Yellow b’evr.r rauic m Msm

We are pained to announce to-day a
yellow fever panic in Memphis, where
one death and five cases of the disease
were reported yesterday, and the Board
of Health issued an address to the people
advising them to leave the city as soon aB
possible. This they were doing by ev
ery train, and the telegrams reported a
general panic in the city.
Every mind will busily canvass the
problem of a revival of the pes
tilential experiences of last sum
mer. This alarm is more than a
month earlier than last season, when it
broke ont on tbe 15th of August. Bnt
yellow fever expsrienoe in this country
does not yet show two epidemics in the
same place in successive years, and we
have strong faith that this phenome
non ia not going to be displayed by
Memphis.
Some express the opinion that the city
never ha3 been qnite clear ofyello - fever
einca last full, bat that all through the
winter there have been cases at least of
a ®ery malignant grada of fever, which,
if not the genuine yellow fever, have
been close akin to it. Memphis is, no
donbt, in a bad sanitary condition, and
probably the whole Mississippi river
country is in a bad way. How can it be
otherwise! with the 6tream, gradually
working its way out of the banks and
submerging the country. That Btate of
affaire, which has demanded the crea
tion of the Mississippi Valley Commis-
tion, involves the sanitary condition of
that valley, quite as directly as it does
the agricultural condition. The over
flows whioh threaten the one attack the
other in an equal degree. And we may
be sure that any effective measures of
improvement which shall restore and al-
lign the channel of the river and recover
overflowed and swamp lard?, will seri
ously affect the health of that country
for a number of summers. Yes, when
a wet and swampy country is in course
of drainage and reclamation, fevers are
bonud to be rite and malignant, although
in a aeries of years, the general effect of
the improvement may be very beneficial
to tbe publio health.
