vices were conducted by Rtv. Dr. Battlo,
He V.a, the eldest child of Mr. and Mrs.
A. It. .‘-'mall, an I was a remarkably brigbt
lad. Ir will bo remembered that though
tho smallest of the speakers in tho prize
declamation which took place at the late
Stale Fair, he boro away tbe prize on
that occasion. Tho funeral was ntt od-
oil by about a hundred of Ilia little
RChooloiates, many bringing flowers to
place on his grave, end no death in Mn-

among tbe younger portion of tho com

Western farmer were developed, and ss
they mopped their bead wreathed

have the pluck to do it.
THE RIVER.
;n Two reef nfth« centennial F.-,*li-r
The reoent rains hare had a mo-’ do-
eided effect on the Oemulge*. Tho rise
nmenoad e-rcral days before tho close
of last week. Tbe heavy rains o! Friday
.c.d Saturday esme drwn, and on Satur
day afternoon until Sunday morning one
of the moat rapid and sudden rues took
plaoe ever known in the history of the
O rmulgee.
The waters swept down the channel
like a mill rase, and, leaping over the
tranks, flowed over all the adjoeentj
lands, covering many acres of low land
ou 1-aeh side of tbe stream In many
place# with sevorsl feet of water. Too
■ a'face of the flood was a study. Float-
togdown with the tido waa every variety
of wood, logs, trees and bushes. Corn
stalks, in some instances, stripped of
their foliage, sections of fences, notion
plants, and overy.imtginible speoies of
crops and article that con'd ba floated
away.
The oolor of tho water was that deep
red peculiar to the middle Georgia hills.
The water continn i to rise until within
twenty-five inches of the point marked
_ the highest altitude of the Centennial
freshet, which oceurred in 1870, and
which was the highest reached in the
memory of that veracious chronicle, the
oldest inhabitant. Tho water was within
eighteen inches of tho great Harrison
freshet of 1842. Tho view of the river
from the city bridge was grand. The
current was sweeping along with an nn-
<1 ulating motion and great force,
wbilo aronrd the piers and pillsrs it wss
roaring with vehemence, and below the
. ddies curved ond seethed until the cen
tral poilionol the stream resembled some
huge cauldron filled with frothing wine-
During tho early hours of the rise tbo
debris floating down was much greater
than later, and many boats manned by
thoeo who live along the banks, plyed
over the surface, catching drift wood.
Largo quantities were caught and fas
tened to tbe barks.
At tho Park tho waters roao until they
almost invrarl it. Tho willows which
fringed the bank were covered, except
here and there their g.ecn tops could
bs seen above tho “flowing tide,” nod
ding and keeping time to the motion of
tho water.
Tho flood reached and went neder
Agricultural Hall a short instance, and
also touched tho foundation of tbe grand
stand. Bat for a levee along the bank
below tho last named building, tho water
wonld have swept over into tho field of
cotton there growing, and reached the
mile track. Below the Park, where the
level ie still lower, tho water went
far beynd the banks of the river, and
flooded the wholo swamp lands. As for
the eye could reaoh, where tbo crops were
tbiD, tho sheen of the water conld '
seen amoug the dark green foliage of the
cottun. Tho corn wcu half submerged,
bnt withstood the current well. At the
Auguste bridgo serious damage w.'.s fear
ed. Tne heavy timbers floating down all
Saturday and Batr’day night lodged
• gainst tho trea'lework of the bridge,
a id acenmnlatcd nntil a natural raff.sim
■ Ur in structure to the famed
timber grafts of the Bed River,
was found extending some twenty feet
above and thirty feet below tbe bridge,
and piled up to tbe height of fivo or eix
feet ont of tho water. Tho greatest pre
sure was on tbo second and third irestles
fitim the west Lank, ai through them the
main current of the river swept, and the
bridge was sprung several inches out
line at that place.
About eleven o’clock on Sunday, a force
of about twenty hands was pot to work
and were still at the bridge J enter d
morning. The safety of the structure
in no way impaired, and it is thought
that as soon cs tho pressure is rumored
Its own weight will pries it back into it
normal position. Trains are passing ont
over it regularly.
Tbe damage to the crops in the swamp
lands, wbilo it has been severe, will not
bo as great as waa at first supposed.
The river yesterday went down very
rapidly, and will eoon resnmo itsnccus-
tomed proportion-.
Arrest'd on suspicion.
y. '-rilay evening rffiter Wrye srr-ot-
ed a man by the name of R. D. Taylor
and a woman named Hsttio Dillard, on
suspicion. Tbe man, who waa .somewhat
intoxicated, claimed he hid with him
the woman wbo bad committed the De-
foor murder near Atlinte. She did not
some to the city, bnt remained beyond
the limits in a negro ehsnty. She came
at last, however, within the line, and was
brought to barracks. They Idaimed to
have come from Alabama. One gentle
man reported fast they had been seen
j even miles from the city oa the Atlanta
road. The woman was about five feet 9
in height, with dark hair, palish brown
eyes, eharp features, and wss clad in a
faded overdies8 and black skirt. She was
evidently from tho country. After cross-
examining them closely and repeatedly,
the Chief of Polioe dismissed them with
injunctions to leave tbe city.
Round Over.
On Saturday moraine last,'an alterca
tion occurred in East Macon near the
cotton factory, between Mr. William V*
Sounds, Superintendent of tbe factory
and Mr. J. Lxnham, in which tho former
was severely boston over tho head with a
stick.
It seems Mr. Rounds had med abusive
language to s daughter of Mr. Lanhatn,
wbo is an employe of the factory, calling
her a liar. She reported the occenrrenoe
to her father, who wert to Mr. Rounds
and demandi d an explanation. Mr. Ronnds
repeated tbe offensive remark, when Mr.
LiDhsm pr ieed#d to cbaitise him, as
above stated, inflioling quito a number of
severe blows. Mr. P muds had Mr. Lxn-
ham arrested and taken before Magistrate
Dan Adams, and bound over in the snta
of *200 to answer a oharge of assault and
battery before the Superior Oonrt. The
oise created great interest ovor the river.
List evening we learned that the whole
matter would probably be sali-faciorily
r 'jnsted and compromised
