A representative of the Hawkinsville Dis
patch witnessed a peculiar incident on the
river banks n few evenings ago. A trot line
hook near the water’s edge, upon which a
piece of crawfish bait was left by Pink
Hearce, held a coon’s tongue. It is supposed
the coon was caught in attempting to eat
the bait. At any rate its tongue was taken
smoothly out by the root and left dangling
on the hook.

The Patterson House at Graham was
burned last Sunday. Mrs. Patterson, in her
anxiety to save some of her acoiunulations
from the flames, came near being burned
herself. Just as a friendly hand assisted
her from the room the flry tongue of the
flame followed her closely out of the door,
very little of the furniture was saved,
probably a third. The building was the
property of D. W. Johnson and was a total
loss There was no insurance. A. SessonTs
residence was only saved by the vigilance
and rapid work ofthe citizens.
The Salvation Army continues its meet
ings at Athens, and the room is packed
every night. While the services were in
progress Thursday night a number of stu
dents entered the building, marching in
double tile and with a regular tramp, trump,
tramp, but broke the step before taking
seats, which they did among some parties
living around the faeories. As the boys
droppod into their seats these jieople arose
as with one accord and moved to the other
side of the house, leaving the students to
themselves. This unexpected and unani
mous social boycott caused asimle to spread
over the room. The Army will establish
permanent quarters aud build barracks at
Athens if they can get any encouragement.
At Tocoa Wednesday considerable excite
ment prevailed when an old crazy negro
woman appeared on the streets. Hhe was
very poorly clothed and seemed very un
concerned about everything around her.
She said she walked from Atlanta Wednes
day morning, and was going back Thurs
day morning, aud that she lived there nine
years. Someone asked her age mid she re
iilied that she was 200 years old, and that
icr name was Sarah Keifer. fihe has been
seen miming wound through the woods
near Tocoa for a week or two, and on ono occa
sion, it is said, she walked into a house and
took a ham and broke a dock all to pieces.
No one seems to know where she came from
or anything about her. Khe srtid something
about MeehaniesviJle. S. C., but her words
were so incoherent that nothing could be
learned about it.
Athens Jiannrr-)Vafrhman: The recent
armed demonstration had a threatening
look; but the thought of riot was probably
not in the heart of the most olist mate or
atandonod. The writer remembers when
the college guns were brought here. It was
eurlv iu 1674. They are long, muzzle load
ing tellows~old style, long since condemn
ed—with a cap tube like a touch-hole. It
would require half a niglit to load them,
and it would lie a twelve-hours job for uu
export gunsmith, working in good daylight,
to extract the load. No living man ever
lired ono of them off. Whilo ill use here
the College wan divided over the question
whether the guus could lie fired, and a
committee took three of the healthiest look
ing muskets into Linton’s meadow, and after
erecting barriers t<> cut off the piece from
I at the trigger, pr<*[iarations were
load. At this time a delegation of
lty und citizens ana female friends
M coming over the lulls, and the

i was never restored, nor was the
poated. We trust the police will

of the snake and then stop. Tho snake was
moving in the direction of where I was
standing and when in about six feet the
snake discovered me and stopped. Tho rab
bit ran on immediately in front of the
snake without taking notice of my
presence and then stopped. The
snake placed himself in a striking position
and both remained quiet for a time. Finally
I drew my stick to hit the rabbit, when it dis
covered me and ran off. The rabbit looked
upon me as an enemy, or friend and
deliverer, or perhaps its instinct taught him
that the snake was its destroyer and was so
charmed that it could not resist the mag
netic influence until there was a mediator
at hand; or perhaps its instinct taught it
that the lung snake was the destroyer of
other snakes that fed upon birds, rabbits,
etc., and looked upon the king snake as a
protector. To say the least, it was a strange
thing.
Booth Couch and Tom Burdett are resi
dents of Senoia, and both have their circle
of friends. They are also neighbors. Sev
eral days ago Burdett and Couch had some
little dispute over a trivial matter, in which
Burdett cursed Couch pretty severely.
Couch brooded over the matter, and
Wodnosdav afternoon resolved that he would
make Burdett retract what he had said.
But in order to do this he first filled up on
whisky. Couch saw Burdett in a store talk
ing with some friends, and. walking up to
him, remarked: “I’ll give you just five min
utes to retract what you called me,” and
without waiting for Burdett to reply, Couch
pulled liis pistol and fired twice, the first
ball entering the left breast, struck a rib,
and glanced to the right, while the second
entered tho groin, ranging downward.
Burdett is a carpenter by trade and was on
his way home when lie encountered Couch.
When the second shot was fired he readied
for a hatchet which ho had placed on tho
counter and with ono tremendous blow
struck Couch in the neck. Tho force which
propelled the hatchet must have been ter
rible to an extreme, ns Couch’s head was al
most entirely severed from his body. Couch
then fired two more shots arid expired.
Those who witnessed the affair say that it
was a justifiable homicide. Mr. Burdett,
while dangerously wounded and suffering
great pain, will, the attending physicians
say, recover.

The Sanford Council held a special meet
ing Wednesday for the purpose of extending
the time for the water works company to ac

franchise to that company. Tho tune was
extended for a period of thirty days from

A sparring match was engaged in at
Sanford Wednesday evening between Ar

was not very considerable.
Nat Walker, of tho Wakulla Times, has

Mrs. Walker and the baby will remain in
Florida until further arrangements are
made for them.
E. T. Lane, of Palatka, had a deaf and
dumb caller on Tuesday night that furnished
a great deal of amusement for his friends
and neighbors. A number of ladies and
gentlemen made a “dummy” and dressed it
up in the latest style. This was propped
against a post of the piazza, the door bell
rang and the crowd retired to await de
velopments. Tlie “caller” refusing to speak,
Mr Lane was about to make short, work of
him, and actually collared the “dummy”
before he caught on to the joke. The merry
laughter of the crowd around the corner of
thenouso furnished a satisfactory solution
of the visitor’s presence.
The old joke of carrying unsuspecting
innocents into swamps mi the pretense of
catching snipe has toon practiced so often
that nearly everybody is into the “sell,” and
it is a pretty hard matter to get a victim.
Some of the Palatka boys, however, have
been coaching a young man in town for sev
eral days, and last night they took him out
beyond the junction to initiate him into the
mysteries of snipe hunting. He was given
an old com sack and a light, and stationed
as far into the swamp as it was possible to
go, where he was left while his companions
went oil to drive the snipe. They returned
to tho city in great glee over the "success of
their joke, and the victim doubtless kept a
long and silent vigil for tho snipe that never
caiiie.
Pensacola’s post office will be moved into
the government’s new building Saturday
night. A large quantity of tho furniture u

are toing placed in position as fast as the

for all the departments has yet to arrive.
All of the furniture is of cherry, and very
handsomely finished. Mr. Yonge says the
letter carrier service will positively to in
augurated by July 1, the failure of the gen
eral deficiency lull to pass in the last Con
gress having the effect of delaying it to
that time. The whole building will be com
pleted by June 15, and the customs and
other departments will be occupied July 1.

At Crescent City the young oranges are
dropping from the trees, yet it is thought
enough will remain to niake a fair yield.
Fruit and vegetable growers are zealous in
their efforts to exterminate the orange in

make them a livelihood. No country can
show m>iy industrious people than reside in
this section of Florida A preparation of
lime, sulphur, carbolic ucid and copperas
applied to the trunk and branches
of the citrus family with a
whitewash brush will exterminate
the scale and other destructive in
sects so much dreaded by the orange grow
ers. The budding and grafting of orange
and other trees is quite nu industry through
out the State. An oxjiert young mail w ill

vary from lc. to 2c. for each bud or graft

About April 5 the Arredondo Land grant
was announced as h&viug been placed on
the market, subject to entry. Tho land
consists of BS,OOO ucres lying in Columbia

was followed by a rush to the United States
Land Office in Gainesville by parties who
were desirous of homesteading farms for
thoßwelves. ir> the short sumo of one
month a large poi tion of the land was taken
up, and many persons thought they wore to
have good and permanent homes' But a

the libel suits of J. C. Greeley against
Charles H. Jones. In the first suit, which
was based on the satirical speech, the plain
tiff filed an amended declaration, and the
defendants were granted ten days in which
to plead over again. The second suit went
to trial. Damages claimed, $20,000. Very
little evidence was submitted in the ease,
it turning mainly on technical points of law.
C. H. Jones was placed on the stand and
testified to the circumstances surrounding
the publication of the alleged libelous arti
cle in the heat of the campaign. However,
most of his testimony as offered was ruled
out on the technical points of law. The ad
dresses to the jury by counsel on both sides
were exceptionally able. After being out
little less than an hour, the jury brought in
a verdict for the plaintiff of $3,000. Motion
for anew trial was entered on the ground
that the article was not libelous, that tho
verdict of the jury was contrary to the evi
dence, and that tne damages assessed were
excessive. The case will be carried up to
the Supreme Court.
Palatka News: Last winter we wrote an
account of some wise Florida buzzards, suf
fering with cold, warming themselves by
the fishermen’s fires across the river. That
stoi-y Ims been published in nearly every
newspaper in the country, and the follow
ing, which actually took place a few days
since, will givo a second chapter on the in
telligence of the despised and detested buz
zard: While a party was out fishing at
Loehloosa a short timo since, a large
alligator was shot, which sank to the
bottom and remained there until it
died. IV hen the carcass came
to tho surface the buzzards soon discovered
it, and they swarmed atout in largo num
bers. Tho breeze kept tlie lake in such a
ripple, however, that they could not keep a
foothold on the tody of the ’gator, as it
turned and floated with every wave. The
Florida buzzard is a shrewd bird, and his
reasoning powers are much greater than he
has ever gained credit for. Baffled by the
wind and waves, and hungry from fruitless
efforts to anchor the ’gator, the birds held a
consultation. Asa result, two of them flew
at the ’gator, and, fastening their talons on
the body, they spread their wings,
sail-fashion, and piloted tho carcass
to tho shore of the lake, where
the flock made a hearty meal. The buzzard
is uot a pretty bird, nor is he known in song
and story like the American eagle. His
name brings up the suggestions of bar!
odors,and he is never made a pet of or shown
that kindness and consideration accorded
more favored birds, but when it comes
down to good, hard mule sense and practi
cal and calculating ingenuity, lie can dis
count all his kin, notwithstanding his well
known reputation for dullness and stupid
ity. The Florida buzzard is entitled to the
chromo.
STUDENTS IN SESSION.
Discussing the Charges Laid at Their
Door.
From the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Watchman.
Tuesday the students of the university
were discussing the published accounts of
the demonstrations of Saturday night with
various expressions of disapproval. The
boys seemed to think that the accounts of
tho police did them great injustice in that
the armed turnout was no announcement of
disorder, but only a Saturday night frolic
in which they had taken advantage of the
Chancellor’s‘absence and broken into the
armory for a few old rusty guns. The
amis, ‘ they declare, were harmless, toing
rusty muzzle loaders, devoid of cartridge
and innocent of caps. It was a lark without
the semblance of riot or the thought of dis
order. They marched to the institute
and hurrahed, after which they yielded to
the advice of friends in town and returned
to the campus and dispersed. They dony
that the ladies at the institute were alarmed
or signaled the police, and declare that the
teachers there were more amused at the drill
than otherwise, and considered it a take-off
on the Salvation Army, They seemed to
regret that some of the citizens and officers
construed the turnout into an attempt to
riot.
At tho Monday afternoon meeting on the
campus the students inquired into the dep
redations at the institute last week and ap
pointed a committee to find out what
they were and to report resolutions. A com
mittee accordingly called on Miss Ruther
ford, principal of tho institute, and assured
her of their regret at the reports which had
reached them. Miss Rutherford thanked
them for their attention and they assured
her of their interest and co-operation in re
lieving her of these annoyances. We be
lieve hedge cutting, blocking the goats and
rocking tne flo-ver pits constitute the worst
of these grievances. These are bad enough,
and a meeting was called last night to con
demn these pranks and to give tne Saturday
night affair their version.
At tho meeting the following letter was
read:
MISS RUTHERFORD'S LETTER.
Lucy Cobb Institute.
Mr. Thcitty: Dear Sir—You ask me to correct
the misrepresentations as they appear in to
day's Constitution in regard to the conduct of
the students at the institute on Saturday night.
This I shall tie glad to do. The students filed
before the institute gate, ordered arms, stacked
their muskets and gave three cheers for Lucy
Cobb Institute. I was at the window w atching
them and it did not occur to me that they were
disorderly; nor were we alarmed. The cheering
waked up and startled the girls at first, bht
they soon understood the cause. I did not tele
phone tu any one; I saw no need for it aud did
not anticipate any trouble. I thought this apiece
of boyish fun and frolic. I regret that the ac
beer, so exaggerated. Respectfully,
M. Rutherford.

RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, Through newspaper report an opin
ion Ims become prevalent that. the students at
the State University countenance the acts of
vandalism recently committed at the Lucy Cobb
Institute; be it
Resolved, That we, tho students of the State
University, hereby express our strong condem
nation of such acts, and regret that such acts
have been committed; and,
Whereas, The esteemed principal of Lucy
Cobb Institute has considered these repeated
acta of vandalism ns reflecting on the excellent
management of Lucy Cobb: he It
Resolved, That this opportunity betaken of
expressing our admiration and hearty resu/ect
of her management and .air a probation of her
repeated acts of kindness to the members of the
State University.
F. E. Twitty, Chairman,
C. P. Fuller,
J. P. Pottle.
Whether or uot the acts were committed by
students is not known, hut if so we are strong
and united in our condemnation of them.
The above resolutions w ere adopted by a
full meeting of the students. The senti
ment is strong among the students in con
sideration of those outrages, and the meet
ings was unanimous in tho endorsement of
the committee’s report.
Monday night was a very exciting ono
with our police force. Reports received
during the .lay gave grounds for the belief
that t lie students would attempt fresh out
breaks that night, and to meet an emergen-*
ey Mayor Hodgson decided to put on sev
eral extra policemen. They were told to
act with coolness and judgement, but
preserve the dignity of the city at
all hazards. Abotit dark the ex
citement was increased by a prominent gen
tleman reporting to Capt. Oliver that lie
overheard a conversation between some stu
dents. in which they stated that they had
bought a lot of powder and intended to do
some destruction as soon as dark came.
Squads of men were detailed to patrol dif
ferent parts of tho city, and it seemed, too,
tliut there was some need of this precaution,
for strong hands of students were reported
its congregating in out-of-the-way planes and
silently marching gut of the campus in a
nnist suspicious manner. ()no of tlie town
toys K“t greatly excited, mid urged Capt.
Oliver to charge the campus and capture a
few of the offenders and lock thorn up in tho
calaboose, but that officer declined to take
such steps unless something was done to
authorize it, and somehow none of the ad
visers would volunteer to toll the eat. But
happily the night passed without any dis
turbance. It is thought that the toys wanted
to give the jHilice a little annoyance, and to
this end acted so ns to arouse nusoieion. Oil
the other hand most of fho student* expree*-
.ed regret at tlie steps they have taken, and
■we predict there will bo no further out
break. I
