Salt is certain death to fowls of any kind.
Tom Thornton, of Hartwell, lost over 100
Brown Leghorn and Plymouth Rock
chickens in one day by feeding them on

been salted.
At M. A Oliver’s plantation in Green
county a day or two ago, a hawk dipped
down into the yard and caught four chickens
at once. He was making off with his prey,
when a negro ran imt and set up such a

the chickens in a Jump. Two of them were
dead. But the other two seemed nono the
worse for their ride.

It has been romarked several times that
the rock in Adairsville was valuable. An
old quarryman once said he would guaran
tee $4 to $5 clear on the rock that crops out
of the central part of the town. It was never
thought much of, but it turns out now that
the town is built on a bed of black marble
of the finest grade. It is susceptible of a
high polish, and there is no doubt about the
durability, as there are sidewalks there that
have been standing some time.
Buena Vista Patriot: A flower rarely
seen in this section bloomed out in the flower
Sarden at the home of Prof. Forrester a few
ays ago. It has somewhat the apjiearance
of a calla lily, though the bloom has but one
large leaf of a dark redish color, witli a long
Eetal in its centre and extending above the
road leaf. . The flower if not known to the
professor’s family, but It is supposed to be a
dragon’s tongue. The odor is like unto a
dead cat, and is no doubt symbolical of the
foul breath of the dragon.
Miss Marv Ha. den, living on Hancock
avenue, Athens, has been at death’s door

Miss Harden was at one time engaged to
Howard Payne, and is now in possession of

The protracted revival meeting that was
carried ou at Kastman for two weeks at the
Methodist church by Rev. T. M. Christian,
pastor of that church, resulted in thirtv-one
accession* to the church membership in
Kastman, twenty-four by professions of
faith and seven by letter. One of the best
features of the meeting was that, although
it was a Methodist revival carried on by a
Methodist minister in a Methodist church,
yet when the doors of the church were
opened the pastor invariably announced
that liis puriswe was not simply to convert
the people to Methodism, but to get them to
unite themselves with any good Christian
denomination, hence he would receive their
applications for membership and give their
names to the pastor of any Christian oliurch
they might wish to join. In response to
these invitations tiwee persons applied for
mcmliership in the Presbyterian duurch, two
for membership in the Baptist church, and
the rest of the number above mentioned
joined the Methodist church.
Tallapoosa Journal: M. M. Land, of
Lime Branch, gave us a call yesterday, and
showed us a little stone, more like a dia
mond than anything we have seen. It is
alwut an inch one way and a fourth the
other. One end is conical in shupe and
forms a five pointed star, the five even sides
continuing down the surface of the stone.
It readily plows its way through glass and
sparkles like a diamond. It was
found by a littlo daughter of Mr.
I<&nd’s in a ravine on Mr. Janies Mc-
Curry’s place. Miss Tally, living near Tal
lapoosa, and t.ho ) possessor of the supposed
rough diamond, was in town Saturday, and

conviction last week of Fred Morgan
filth murder of Emma Lewis ou Dec. ‘A’i,
Br. and hi* being sentenced to be hanged,
tnihg* up the subject of hanging in Jeiror-
Uptf county. In Iks •ember, IH4J, the last
"AAljtutiop took place in that county, when
negroes were banged, two being exe
one week and throe the following
JPMe They wens sentenced to death for
vuinicruuc thoir owner, Robert Cunning
| ham. who lived on what is now known as
I the Cason plaoo. W. S. Alexander was
; Sheriff at the time, and * exe
cuted the sentence of the law.
He says there was great ex
citement at that time, as that murder was
thought to be Uic beginning of an outbreak
on the part of those in slavery. One of the
negroes shot Cunningham through a win
dow while he was at supper. He was a lit
erarv man, and at the tune had Ainsworth’s
Latin dictionary open on the table before
him. D. J. Alexander now owns the book,
and traces of blood can yet be seen on it.
About seven years before'the hanging of the
Cunningham murderers a negro named
Humphrey Lee was banged for murdering
his owner, a Mr. Lee. Those are the only
persons ever hanged in the county.
Lexington Echo: His royal nibs, the chief
of the star route postal department, is now
an object of much execration within the
village of Lexington, and has been since
■Wednesday morning. And it is all due to
the mail schedule from Crawford to Lexing
ton. For some years past the mail line
form this village to the railroad station has
made regular trips, morning and evening,
oftentimes bringing our mail after the arri
val of each tram, and otherwise proving a
great convenience to the business men and
citizens of the county site. Our mail was
carried out every morning and we received
the daily papers and other mail from up
and down the road at 5:30 o’clock.
But without a word of warning this
arrangement was knocked sky-high on last
Wednesday, and the mail only arrives in
Lexington'once a day, and at the most un
seasonable hour—3 o’clock in the afternoon
—over an hour before the train carrying the
mail arrives at Crawford. Under this most
excellent arrangement—in which the par
ties responsible for it have shown tneir
p over and their narrow-minded igno
r mce—the people of Lexington receive
their njgil twenty.four hours after
it reaches Crawford: to-morrow we will
read to-day’s papers; next week we
will receive this week’s mail; and thus, fall
ing a day behind each day, according to all
rules of logic, the good citizens of Lexing
ton will one day find themselves back in the
sixteenth century, wearing long hair, and
paying tribute to the crown of England. A
petition setting forth the fact was imme
diately drawn up, and hurried on to the de
partment at Washington.

Dr. Boatright, of Madison, has a curiosity
which he secured on a recent trip to
Lowndes county, Ga., which, had it lived,
would have-been one of tho greatest freaks
of nature known to scieuce. It is nothing
less than a kitten, or a pair of kittens,
joined together, ala Siruese twins, having
one head, tivo bodies and tails, seven legs
and eight feet. The bodies join just behind
the shoulders, and two legs protrude from
the breast wliere they usually came from
the feline body. The hind legs and caudal
appendages occupy the places usual to the
cat tribe. The seventh leg, however, which
supports two of the feet, projects from the
back and between the junction of the bodies.
This leg seems to be about twice the size of
the others, and it is believed that two sets of
bones are contained in the skin which covers
it.
There is a curious specimen of the hog
aboard the French bark Guayaquil, now
lying alongside of Palafox wharf, Pensa
cola. About the size of a shote, he has no
tail, his bristles ore much longer than those
seen on the average hog, and his ears, of
proportionate size, are manipulated in much
the same munner as a rabbit’s—thrown for
ward and laid back with perfect grace. He
has a teat-shaped excrescence on the back
bone, the use of which his owners do not
know. If he was a little tailor, a little
longer and a little thinner, despite the rab
bit-working ears and the absence of a tail,
he would make a first-class razor-back. The
brute is of a specie# found in control Prance,
where they run wild, and are a much-sought
game by sportrcneu. This fellow coma from
Venezuela, and is doubtless descended from
French exportations of the family.

Pensacola Commercial: It takes a “fly”
Pensacola boy to bite at a chestnut. The
crowd that went to Mobile last Sunday tell
a good one on Fred Humphreys, to the fol
lowing effect: Fred stopoed into a fashiona
ble barber shop in the Gulf City, in which
were all the modern electrical appliances to
facilitate tonsorial work. The gang sized
Fred up, and one of them, stepping to a
“button," touched off a bell: instantly the
gang became all attention, and a spokesman
sang out “Mempnis!” another ring and the
spokesman continued “Cartwright to bat.”
The Pensacola "boy, who knows all about
base ball and the names of every player
in the Southern League, opened wide
his eyes in amazement, and audibly
remarked that it beat anything he ever saw.
The gang worked him for all he was worth,
and, as the bell tapped one, two, three, four
and other tap having respective signifi
cance, ostensibly, Fro 1 went wild, as, with
the constant ringing of the bell, in the
sonorous tone of the spokesman's voice, was
announced: “Cartwright makes a home
run!” “Wells knocks a three-bagger!”
“Pcnwoll foul and out!” The whole game
was transmitted to Freddie in this manner
and he was ready to throw his hat in the air
and yell like a Comanche, when the score
“New Orleans. 18; Memphis, nothing!” was
announced.' The gang then went and rang
a church bell on him.
Since the completion of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West railway to Titusville
and the establishment of regular service by
steamboat on Indian river, almost all com
munication from Sanford by the upper St.
John’s steamers with IndianVi ver has ceased.
Many persons have thought that the former
steamboat line from Sanford to Lake Poin
sett hail collapsed and with it the Lake
Poinsett Wharf Company. Things are not
as dead as they seem. At the last meeting
of the company it was decided to raise their
capital stock to SIO,OOO, which is permiss
able under their charter, purchase the
steamer Waumta, and put her on
the line again between Sanford and Lake
Poinsett. Arrangements are already made
with a steamboat line running between
Jacksonville and Sanford for close connec
tion at the latter place for freight and pas
sengers, aud an agreement entered into
witu the managing partner of a strong linn
to run in connection with then- steamer to
be put on Indian river from Cocoa to Eden.
To render the transfer from Cocoa to Lake
Poinsett easy and quick it is contemplated
to build a good steel rail tram road across
from river to river, the estimates for
which are all made and preliminaries at
tended to. The capital stock of the com
pany is in 100 shares at SIOO per share. Of
this 40 per cent, is now offered for sale.
A STORY OF TWO ARTISTS.
Something About Men Who Have Had
Queer Adventures.
New York, May 14.—Paul Frenzeny, the
artist who went with the Wild West show
to England, has had many queer adventures
in his time. He is the son of a Hungarian
nobleman and was educated in France at
the Polytechnique. He fought in Algiers as
a lieutenant of a mounted battery and was
with the French army in the Italian cam
paign. He was a first lieutenant under
Maximilian in Mexico, and when that un
fortunate invader and his schemes of con
quest disappeared in a puff of powder
smoke, Frenzeny came to New York and
studied drawing under John N. Hyde.
While he was studying in Hyde’s studio he
inherited $40,000. He left the studio and
proceeded to get rid nt his money in various
expeditious ways. First he went to Cali
fornia and bought a ranch. He managed to
float away a go<>d part of his inheritance in
a highly ingenious irrigating ditch.
Then'he formed an art partnership with
Jules Tavernier and traveled through Cali
fornio and other parts of the West, making
drawing? for the illustrated papers. The
name of Frenzeny and Tavernier were at
one time familiar to the readers of the illus
trated weeklies, being at the bottom of
many spirited pictures of wild scenes on the
frontier. After separating from Tavernier,
Frenzeny came Eastjmd sunk the remainder
of his money in a New Jersey swamp,
which he mistook for a farm.
Again he applied himself to art and some
of its Bohemian accompaniments, and for
the last few years he bucked against hard
luck. When'Nate Saulsbury offered him a
salary to travel with the Wild West circus
as the -‘Cowboy Artist,’’ the proposition ap
pealed to his love of adventure and his
necessities. He put on a sombrero, tucked
his trousers into his bootlegs, polished up
his rusty frontier vocabulary and six
shooter, and climbed aboard the steamship
along with the buffaloes, the big Injuns and
the bronchos. Paul will paint the prairie
fires, illustrate heartrending massacres and
hairbreadth escapes on canvases as big as
houses and do " cartoon sketching in the
show to astonish the cockneys and corral
their guineas.
Tavernier was even more of a Bohemian
than Frenzeny. He settled in Son Fran
cisco.and for many years painted pictures in
his studio and kept the door barred against
heartless creditors. Tavernier was some
thing of a genius in art. His pictures were
strong and he sold them for high prices.
Although he made much money be was al
ways in debt and perpetually on the ragged
edge of ruin. When he sole! a picture he in
vited all the good fellows to dine with him
at the Poodle Dog and drowned them iu
champagne. For a week his studio was the
scene of revelry. The price of the picture
disappeared like fog in tho sunshine, and
then he remembered his debts and tore his
hair. He appealed to his friends. He was
ruined. His creditors would seize his studio.
He was in despair, anil if he could not get
S2OO before night lie would commit suicide.
The impulsive, irrational Frenchman
meant it, and his friends gave him the
money. He called it a loan and imagined
that it was, but they knew it was a gift.
With money in his pocket his spirits' re
turned, the' world looked bright and the
! creditors were hull down on the horizon.
Another champagne supper, to which the
lender was invited with impressive and
effusive gratitude, was the result. Then more
work, another sale, the same old story, and.
a weary dance for the creditors.
At last tho friends became fewer. Some
died, some left California, some lost itience
anil some ceased to believe in the artist's
theatrical despair. But the despair was
genuine. One day not lung ago Jules Tav
ernier was found hanging; dead, in tho stu
dio that he hud barred against his bote noir,
the insatiable creditor. Wan Lee.
BELOVED BY A SPARROW.
The Attentions Bestowed on a Lady
by an Affectionate Bird.
A quoer story of faithful affection be
tween a bird and a kind-hearted woman liv
ing in Somerville is vouched for by those
who are conversant with the facts in the
case, says the New York Telegram. In the
Hill building, overlooking Union Square, in
Somerville, is a cozy suite of rooms, winch
have been occupied for the last six years by
Mrs. Marion W. West, As long
ago as when .Mrs. West first took
up her abode in her present apart
ments she noted tho visits of* a
great many English sparrows to hor win
dows. This in itself did not excite more
than passing notice; but there was one little
fellow who was most pcndstcot in his at
tempts at recognition on the part of Mrs.
West, and toon she became aware that her
tiny visitor renewed his calls two or three
times daily. Soon she learned his peculiar
song-like chatter, and she oftentimes threw
up tin; sash to fn-d and winningly talk to
her illumed friend. It must be remem
bered that these visits t>ogan six years
ago, aud not a day, summer or winter, iu
the time that has since elapsed, has the
bird misMsd in making bis appear
ance. Strange to relate, however, are
some of tho experiences Mrs. West has
bad with tho bifd while away from home.
Several summers ago she and a friend went
out into the country, some distance from
Somerville, to gatlwr flowers. \\ hue in a
field plucking daisies Mrs. West heard t:ia
whistle of her feathered pot. and on looking
up he was close at her hands, as pleased as
possible at the attention she bestowed upon
him. From that time forth it was no un
usual occurrence to have the intelligent
bird make his appearance and do escort
duty for the lady to whom he is so deeply
attached.
Of all the strange expeditions, two are
strikingly remarkable. One day Mrs.
West took an open car via the Charles river
route, intending to visit Boston. When
about two miles from Somerville, while go
ing at a rapid pace, she heard a peculiar
flutter over her head among the looped-up
curtains. She raised her eyes, and there,
perched on the iron rod ninning across the
car, was the sparrow, seemingly saying:
“Oh, lam here!” He rode with the car
until Mrs. West alighted, when lie disap
peared.
Again Mrs. West started for Boston on a
shopping tour, and proceeded by a circuit
ous route. When she arrived in the city she
visited one of the well-known stores on Tre
mont street, and while completing her er
rand her attention was attracted by the note
of a bird. She inquired of the attendant
whether they kept a bird, and upon receiving
an answer in the negative she stepped to the
window, where sat her admirer, the sparrow-.
