Rockmart Slatte: The Savannah Morn a.vG News, thq best news and family paper * n the State or South, has donned anew and handsome dress. The News does not brag jand blow in double-leaded articles over its toew dress. In fact, if you want a paper *hat is clean and bright and Democratic to the core—rvith no protection nonsense—tret the News, One of the queerest of optical illusions is •that at a water tank on the Marietta and | North (Georgia railroad, a mile or tvto south of Canton. The water is brought from a billsnVs stream in a plank trough to the tank, and tfuis trough from the hillside to the top of tir.e tank appears to be the highest at the end of the tank, and to a person looking on tV“ water below, or standing by the trough, tEe water appeore to be running up hill. The Filusion is as complete as it is remarkable. The body of A. D. Clinard was found Sat urday at Foster’s landing, ahout thirty-five < miles from Rome. The body was found <*, 2 o’clock in the afternoon by Eddie Giles, a email boy. It had been floating and had lodged under some willow bushes. There was found in his pocket a check on Printup Bro.’s bank for $3, and a letter of n recent date from some friend in Cave Springs signs Ing himself Robert. Decomposition nud set In out little. The deceased will lie retnem liered as the hotel-proprietor of Rome who mysteriously disappeared but the finding of ■whose hat on the river bank left little doubt that he had committed suicide on account of financial troubles. A printer arrived at Macon one day last week and for the short time he worked 'made #7. When he drew his pay he found three t hings necessary—to send some of the money to his family, to pay his hoard here and to replenish his wardrobe. To accomplish the three things he did what perhaps was never done before. He started out in town txnsee What he could do in the way of making hiin , fcelf presentable, and at one store he bought A pair of shoes and a pair of socks for 35c.; at another store he bought a coat, vest and Mints of midsummer pattern for $1 16, .making the cost of the entire outfit $1 50. It is only in the Sunny South that such ex treme economy can be practiced. While a street car was wailing at the cor kier of Cotton avenue and Poplar street, at Qfacon, Sunday afternoon,-for another car, la negro woman, who was taking care of a /little boy about 3or 4 years old, placed the •child in the car evidently for the purpose of •loving ilia ride around the belt. The driver Un-ought the child was in charge of some of Jus passengers, and thought nothing about Is until it was left alone in the car. The child was too yonng to tell anything about Itself, and the driver reported the matter to .Officer Gardner, telling him that he thought fit got on at the corner named. The officer rode to the corner and got off, and as he did Vo the nurse called out to the child. Saturday the Rome Land Company con tracted with W. G. Welty, lately of the (Morse Bridge Works, Youngstown, 0., for the erection of a plant for the building of the bridges. Work ft to be begun within thirty days and manufactured goods are to be turned out by the latter part of the present wear. The capital stock will be about *75,000 and the number of men that will be given employment will be between 100 aud 160. Mr. AVelty, who will probably have Charge of the works is an experienced bridge man. It was be who made the con tract between the county of Floyd and the Morse Bridge Company for the erection of the Broad street aud Howard street bridges. C. W. Evitt, a prominent merchant of Cedar Grove, Walker countv, Is in the habit ef storing large sums of money, consisting of bills and silver, in all sorts of queer and ■unlooked for hiding places in different jxuts of his house, having over f 1,000 stored away in this manner Last Saturday morning, ■when all the family had occasion to leave the house for a short time, Abe Woodall, a (roung man employed on the place, huving earned of the hiding place of the money, accepted the opportunity for enlarging his Bxcheauer, and going to an old musty sat chel which hung in uu ante-room, he took a roll of bills, amounting to $520 and made way with it. As it happened Evil t had or casion to use some money that evening and went to that strange dejiositoiy to get it. Judge his surprise in finding it empty. He at once susnfrioiied Woodall and had him wrested. Woodall stoutly denied his guilt until being promised a release for a confess ion, when he admitted liuvibg taken the money, gave directions for finding it, and it was found intact. Rev. I. W. Waddell, pastor of the Pres byterian church of Albany, has in his pos session a relic of the past in the shape of a watch, which he daily wears. The watch, which isan open-fwod,gold patent lever one, has lieen in his family for four generations. The great grandfather of Rev. Mr. Wad dell brought it over with him to America fr- mi Ireland aliout 1750. It was made by I William Russell, of Englnnd, the inventor of patent lever watches, its number heing 222.

The reiiort that Wilson Palmer, the con victed ThomasviUc burglar, was to be carriod through Albany Snturdav created a flutter of excitement, and many collected at the depot to meet, the Thoniasville train. When the train rolled iu several, who were curious to get a glimpse of the notorious man, boarded the train and crowded into the coach where Wilson sat, chained to a negro fellow-prisoner, quietly smoking a cigar. At first he apprered disconcerted bv the gaze of the crowd, hut upon being addressed ho developed a talkative if not a communicative disposition. In the midst of his conversation Bob Itouth, the blacksmith, walked in. and instantly there was a mutual recognition. Bob reached over his strong right hand, which was quickly clasped by the no less brawny hand of the manacled burglar. Bob hail lieeu with this man and las pal on a spree while they were in Albany, and had sharpened them tools two day before the post office rob bery. Bob also recognized the tools which were captured at Baconton. Capt. R. Hobbs recognized in Wilson the man who had visited his office, on the day after the burglary here, to sell a safe. Wilson is reported to have said that he was ordered up for twenty years, but that he would not be there for that many months. And it is possible that he may effect his escape, as he is a bold, desper ate character, and though of medium size, appears to bo of extraordinary muscular development. The guard was taking him to the Dado county eoal mines, and he Will make a valuable acquisition to the pick force. FLORIDA. Tho Ocala House bus closed for the season.

The Palatka post office has nearly reached the yank of a free delivery office. Rev. Mr. Huff, of Gainesville, will assist Mr. Culpepper in lfis Ocala revival meetings. The people of Brevard county will ask the Legislature to protect the fish and oysters in Indian river. The frame for anew water tank is up near the Florida Railway and Navigation depot at Ocala. At Oakland another application has been made for a tract of 100 acres on which to plant a lemon grove. Twelve thousand dollars has been paid out at Key West for the purchase of sponge within the past week. Fred Fisher and wife, who traveled over land from Nebraska, reached the Talluhas seee country last week. Dr. Myers, agent for the Florida Southern at Ocklawaha station, sold within the month past over S4OO worth of railroad tickets. Fort Ogden News: The Savannah Morn ing News has come out in n new dress. The News is one of the most progressive papers in tho South. Mrs. C A. Cheatham, the proprietress of the Central Hotel of Crescent City nt the time of the late fine wlfieli destroyed it, has leased tho American House. Iu the Ocala rifle practice at. Dunnellen, Glover Miller won the S2O gold medal for the best average shots and Burt Redding second honor for the best single shot. In January last Elmer Townsend homesteaded near Blue Springs.

Lowry, of Sumter county, on last Saturday, while hoeing a watermelon vine in Ills garden, stepped on the head of a cat fish running the sharp tin through his shoe and into his foot, and- now has a much swollen foot and walks with a crutch. A handsome bequest has liecn made in the will of the late Capt. C. E. Dyke to the Methodist church at Tallahassee iu the shape of a lot of valuable books for the parsonage library. Some years ago this library was started by Rev. J. Andei-sou, D. D., who go,vo to It a number of volumes. The steamer Kusie B. is lying at the head of the Springs undergoing repairs and wait ing tho inspection of the United States Steamboat inspector, who will be along shortly from Cedar Keys, and then she will be put iu commission to run in connection with the Silver Springs, Orlando and 'Gulf, down the Withlacoochee to Crystal river and Homosassu. Capt. Wallace will com mand her. Blue Springs has been bought by a "Wash ington, D. C., capitalist of Mr. Lane, w hose title to same has just been established by the courts, a young .man by the name of Buryns contesting same. The purchaser's namo is Brown. The tract, is forty acres. The terms of sale ore private, but it is said the price mid runs up into the thousands of dollars. Tlie Springs are located almost in the exact centre of the laud bought by Mr. Brown. Mr. Richai-dson. owner of the Waltham House at Long wood, has ousted Mi-. Alien, who had leased the house, and pi eposes to make improvements at once, which were prevented by misunderstandings between liini and Mr. Allen while the latter retained possession of the house. The grounds will .tie fenced and planted, pumps for water supply and lire purjioses put in, and every thing done to make the house ready for business next season. Pnlatka’s Sunday ordinance is now in full force, but from an oversight, or some other cause, it does not provide for the opening of drug stores or other business house doors on Sunday. The statute law will hold good under this ordinance, and all goods will have to Vie sold behind closed floors. The statute nor the ordinance does not prohibit the sale of “necessaries,” out. Mayor Tens daje interprets them as above set forth and will not allow open doom oil Sunday. The board of governors of the Fnlntka Board of Trade lidve secured the large room over tlic si ore of M.

A secretary has also lieen elected, but it is not vet known whether he will accept or not. New mem bers continue to lie enrolled, and the moni iKTship now numbers more than eighty, and promises to grow to anywhere between Ilk! mid 1.10. The friends of Henry Wiggins, who was ennvieted at, the late term of the Putnam Superior Court of murder in the first de gree and sentenced to be hanged, have given notice that they will apply to the Governor of the citato to have the sentence “remitted to confinement for life.” Wiggins has hail two fair, impartial and exhaustive trials in the court*, and in each trial the verdict was the same. It i: hardly probable that the Governor will interfere with the sentence of the court. Notwithstanding the frequent wrests of negroes in Palatka in (he last few weeks for burglary, a number of worthless scoundrels are still in the city who make frequent at tempt* at roblxry. A few days ugo a lady was awakened from an aftei noon nap by a negro lioy walking into her lied room, he having entered the house from the rear, and when caught he meekly asked “if sue was the lady who wanted washing done!” Un fortunately, be was allowed to leave with out town* uitcsU.''!.

It is used in forming the ground work of floral pyramids and decorat ing the side-tables ana walls. It is also hung in festoons from the ceilings and gas jets, producing a striking contrast. Heretofore this material lias been supplied the New York market by Long Island and New Jersey, but the moss found in those swamps is much inferior to ours, ns Florida moss is much more highly colored, and retains its greenness much longer. The increased demand for moss has enhanced its value fully 25 tier cent., and as the home supply is inferior in quality, several mass factories in this State are supplying New York dealers. The demand for Florida moss has grown so great that there is some talk of New York parties establishing facto ries here. This industry is destined to be come a profitable one to owners of swamp land and giving value to it. Ocala Banner: Our attention is again called to a case of dishonesty and fraud at tempted upon well-known fruit dealers of Marion county. In this instance the fraud was exposed and the would-be defrauders summarily dealt with. It seems the Chicago commission house to whom the consignment was made, thinking no doubt it would lie an easy matter to pull the wool over the eyes of our Florida shippers, rendered false state ments of their sales, claiming the oranges were frozen and that they were unable to realize enough on the shipments to pay the freight charges. But they had caught Tartars. J. and W. Luffmnn, of Anthony, and R. K. Gatehell, of Fort McCoy, the shippers in question, settled with them, but felt distrust ful as to tho matter. Later on the Luff mans received information which further excited their suspicion, and a systematic in vestigation followed, which resulted in un earthing the fraud. They sent their claim to Mahen, Snow & Cooper, attorneys of Chicago. These gentlemen adopted vigor ous measures, and succeeded in effecting a prompt settlement, their clients realizing handsomely on the shipment made over a year ago. Tho following statistics are 'gleaned from the records in tne custom house, and shows the maritime business of Jacksonville for the month of April; During the month iiO vessels entered this port, 23 sail and 6 steam. Four schooners and 1 steamer were from foreign ports. Thirty vessels cleared—ll steamers and 19 sail, 1 steamer and 5 sail for foreign ports. Three million, eight hundred and sixty-seven thousand and seventy-six feet of yellow pine lumber were shipped by steam and sail vessels, 3,635,000 feet to coast wise ports, and 232,070 feet to foreign. Also 1,000 cubic feet cedar. 13,000 cross tiw, 2,200 bundles of shingles, 3,100 mer chandize, 3,000 packages of vegetable#! 5,500 1 sixes oranges. To foreign ports,' besides lumber and merchandise, O’ HpiJ shingles, .too crate heads, 5.000 laths and SOOrtence pickets. In March 3,231,000 feet went from to coastwise and 389,05S to foreign ports, making a total of 3,020,088 CwL, April shows a gain over March of 340,5rt8 feet. The same month last year there were only 3,291,000 feet, 570,070 feet less than the pres ent month. Besides merchandise freights there came by sail and steam vessels in April 1,088 tons steel rails, 510 bundles splice plates, 197 kegs bolts for the Mayport and Jacksonville railroad, 1,925 barrels Hour, 900 barrels apples, 500 barrel* potatoes, 400 barrels fertilizers, 1,030 tons ice, 650 tons jptty rock, 2,05)3 liar re Is lime, 50 tons and 200 bales hay, 1,140 tons coal, 1,735 bar rels oil and naptha. At < raitiesville Saturday night about 7 o'clock Charles Bailey was Killed by his brother Aleck under the following circum stances; Charles lieing of a quarrelsome dis position and considered of an unbalanced mind, has had difficulties -with other mem bers of the family, especially with Aleck, or as ho is 1 letter known by the name of Alla Alla, in company with" Messrs. Boby anH Ramsey. were driving toward Nor/li Gainesville, and when near the residenoeof Dr. J. A. Parker Charles rode up on hoibe baek and said to his brother: “I hear you we carrying a pistol.” He replied, “I carry it for my own defense.” Noticing that Charlie had his revolver in hts Hand, Alla drew his from his pocket. Charlie sprang from his horse and Alla jiunpedfrom his buggy. Charles said, "Put that up,” and was answered, “I will when you put yours up.” At that moment Charles fired, hitting nis brother in the right side of the body. Alla at the same instant tired, the ball hitting Charles under tfhe right arm aud passing nearly through his body, near the region of the heart. Alla continued firing until his pistol was emptied, one ball just grazing the abdomen. Charles remained cm his feet until the last shot was fired, when he fell and expired. Alla was taken to the resi dence of Dr. Thomas, where the liall was extracted. His wound is a serious one but not supposed to be dangerous. Charles was about 41 years of age. He had been away from Gainesville for eighteen or twenty years, until about two yeai-s ago he returned and commenced work on the old homestead, mid soon after difficulties arose lx>twcen him and other members of tjio family, and in fit* of anger lie had threatened thou- lives. The verdict will uo doubt lie justitialile homicide. A Church in Its Decadence. From the Athens (do.) Banner-Watchman. One of the old landmarks of Colibham is rapidly losing its individuality. I refer to the Primitive. Baptist church, in the renr of the institute. Tilts church was built many years ago to accommodate the Hock of the late Elder Davy W. Patman, and regularly on the second Saturday and Sunday of each month the old Hardshell expounder would occupy the pulpit. In the early days of the foundation, the church was frequently crowded, many lieing attracted there by the exceedingly plain and simple method of worship. But when the novelty wore away, and the church and the sermons had to stand on their own merits, the Crowd rapidly dwindled into n small handful. Elder Patman died several years ago, anil the church never flourished after his decease. Indeed, a few yeans since the whit*- member ship took their letters and sought religious comfort elsewhere. The ehurrh remained tolhe colored element of the congregation, who still maintain it: but it has lost, thnt. dement of individuality that Elder Patman gave hi it. The first ‘’foot, washing,” ns an order of sacrament, I witnessed in that church. The Ruddy River Of life is the blood. From it the system re ceives all its material of growth and repair. It lwitbes every tissue of the body. How necessary, then, that the bhxxl should bo kept pure and rich. Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” is the great blood food and blood purifier. It is aaovareign remedy for nil diwtise* due to impoverished blood, consumption, bronchitis, weak lungs, sorof ulu, influenza and kindred diseases. Lost.

The Catalogues of Two Institutions— Man and Woman’s Work. Prom the Athens (On ) Banner-Watchman. A few days ago I chanced to be looking over two catalogues—one of the alumna; of the Lucy Cobb Institute, the other contain ing the names of those who owed allegiance to the University of Georgia. Tho contrast those catalogues afforded, between tho chances of man and woman in this life, was strikingly illustrated by the summary of the life-work of each individual named therein. The name ot each alumnus was written out in fall—the houors he obtained in college followed. The positions of trust and fame he achieved in life were recorded with minute faithfulness. There was hardly a position, however obscure, that had been attained, that was not affixed to his name and graduation. On the other hand, the list of the Lucy Cobb alumnae was conspicuously barren of honors and compliments. Those ladies whom the for tune of war had left single, had their names printed in their order. Doubtless many of them, if not all of them, lived lives far more useful than those of University alum ni, but there was no remark or word to in dicate the appreciation of their friends. It was simply a. catalogue of names, without any appendix of houors and titles. There was one word that followed many of the ladies’ names Iu the catalogue—a word that expressed in as small a compass as much as could lie written in the whole Ixiok. The word was “married.” It looked as if tho compilers of that catalogue con sidered that there remained nothing further to chronicle after marriage. That the woman’s life ha/1 become so completely merged into that of her husband, that here after his record would be an exact descrip tion of her own. This appears to me mani festly unjust, and yet there docs not seem any may to correct it. Marriage, it is said, frequently makes a man; but I have never heard any paxnphra.se to the effect that it inode a woman. It is evident that according to her own sex woman’s destiny is marriage. When she fails to get a hus band her life is a failure: when she succeeds she has accomplished all that it is possible for her to achieve. The degree of her success is measured by the kind of a husband she gets —his level always to he here, and as she ele vates him to higher planes of thought and life, finding her only reward in sharing that higher elevation with him. I don’t wonder that the woman's rights party is growing. The wonder to me is that their very despera tion has not made them successful. BRO W N’B IRON BITTERS. II 1 1 § y BEST TONIS. ?
