W. T. Marsh, an ex-Confederate soldier
living near Americas, has a curiosity in the
shape of a gntta percha finger ring made by
him during the war. Mr. Marsh was a mem
ber of Company 8., Third Georgia regiment,
and had his left shoulder shattered by a
minnie ball at the battle of Malvern Hill.
While recovering from his wound, be hol
lowed out a button of his coat into the ring,
which he ingeniously inlaid with several
fragments of bone taken from his broken
shoulder. The work is very neatly exe
cuted, and the ring is as strong as' when
first carved out. Mr. Marsh values it very
highly, and exhibits it as a cherished me
mento of the late straggle.
On Tuesday J. R. Jones, living near
Down’s, in Cato’s or Ninety-fifth district,
brought some 200 pounds of nice honey to
Sandersville. The honey was raised in
pound section boxes, making it convenient

amateur in bee culture, and seems well
posted in the arts and methods necessary to
insure success. He now has forty stands,
and is striving to swell his number to 100.
In addition to flowers, wild and cultivated,
he sows buckwheat and clover to increase
their honey stores. Mr. Jones is now rail
road agent at Cbalker, and exjiects to move
to that place, where the forests of the Ogee
chee will afford finer bee grounds
Gen. Lafayette McLaws, of Savannah,
delivered a lecture at the court house in
Sylvania Thursday night, on the “Battle of
Fredericksburg.” Gen. McLaws knows as
much, perhaps, of this battle as any man
living, as it was his division that was sta
tioned in Fredericksburg to resist the Fed
eral*, who were attempting to cross, and
finally did cross, in such vast numbers. The
lecture was listened to attentively through
wit-, and gave many interesting details
winch one fails to get in history. He spoke
beautifully of Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb, the
soldier and statesman, and said that had he
lived, his fame would havo equaled, nay
surpassed, that of Stonewall Jackson’s.
M. V. Day, a prominent and intelligent
practical miller of Elbert county, says that
in grinding Western corn shipped to that
county he trequentfy finds pieces of broken
flass In the corn, and that his observation
as not been confined to one lot of corn, but
to various lots from different points. He
says further that he knows of a number of
horses and mules that have died in Elbert
county from eating perfectly sound Western
corn, and that he has examined some of the
corn eaten by them and found particles of
glass in it. ’ Mr. Day thinks that as there
are so many milks in the county that have
no appliance for cleaaiat corn, and so much
of it fed to stoclctfialftte matter ought to
he if it can be
done. ' s.

A fearful hail storm passed near Chero
kee Comerflast Thursday evening. It struck
Mr. A. 8. Dorsey’s place iu Clarke county
and literally mined his fine' crop of corn
ami cotton. Then in its easterly course it
struck the farms of R. J. Tuck and R. F.
Dillard. Mr. Dillard says lie will probably
have to plant the whole of his crop over,
both com and cotton. None suffered worse
than D. J. Caruthers, whose farm was im
mediately in its track, and as he was nearly
done chopping out his cotton, his crop suf
fered fearfully. Besides these, Messrs. Pope,
Draper. Gaulding, Hall, Wilkins and otheis
had portions of their crop badly damaged.
The nail fell for nearly 15 minutes with ter
rible fury and covered the ground, and in
many places where it drifted it lay in great
piles!
Leary Covrier: Last Monday while Mr.
Keel, who lives near here, and is a great
smoker, was cleaning out his pipe with his
pccketknife he let the knife fall from his
hand, and in falling the blade stuck into the
calf of his right leg and by some means was
forced into the flesh up to the hilt. The
knife was extracted, but the wound did not
bleed a drop, notwithstanding it was a deep
one, and alter he had it bandaged Mr. Keel
went to his field and went to plowing. Late
in the evening lie fainted from exhaustion
and became completely unconscious, in
which condition he has remained up to this
writing. Dr. George ascribes the peculiar
phase of Mr. Keel’s illness to nicotine,
which was introduced into the blood along
With the knife blade. This is a very un
usual case.
Dalton Citizen: There is a move
ment now on foot to establish a
large cotton mill at Dalton for the
manufacture of both white and checked
goods. A gentleman of Providence, 11. 1.,
who has had thirty years’ experience in cot
ton milling, says that he can command a
capital of SIOO,OOO, if Dalton will subscribe
$50,000 to build anew cotton factory. The
mill will ion tain 250 looms and all the
latest improved machinery for the manu
facture of cotton goods, with nu extensive
dyeing apparatus in connection. The sub
scription book was opened Wednesday, and
already altfmt $30,000 has been subscribed
by gentlemen of Dalton, and it is not at ull
improbable that even more than the desig
nated $50,000 can be raised with but little
difficulty.
There is an old Indian tradition to the ef
fect that in a cave, half a mile south of the
big spring, near Ualliouu. can be found a sil
ver mine iinsupaßsed in quality and quantity.
That the Indians used to go into the cave
and cut the silver out w ith their toma
hawks. and that when forced to leave this
country they rolled a large stone from the
mountain above and with it closed the en
trance. This cave Is on the lands of L. L,
Bennett, but has never been entered bv a
pale face on accouut of the great rock,
which weighs several tons; and stands
guard over the untold treasure.
It is Mr. Bennett's intention as
soon as the orojis are laid, to remove the
rock and explore the cave. There is every
evidence of the truth of the statement that
the rock was placed there by the hand of
mail. On the side of the mountain is a
great excavation from which the rock was
taken and rolled down to its present posi
tion. The rains of half a century nave
buried it deep into the ground, but w ith a
little dynamite and a few heavy strokes of
the hammer Mr. Bennett may be counted
the millionaire of North Georgia.
In the countv of Gilmer this week there
are being tried two men for murder, and
should the State succeed in convicting both
it will lie one of the most remarkable con
victions in the annals of the criminal law in
Georgia. In the fall of 1884 AVebb Kindly
and one Woody met at a church on thertoj,
of Blue Ridge. After the services were
over, when all were preparing to go home.
Kindly and Woody got into a difficult!-, as
there had been Itad feelings between them
for years, Findly having followed the "Lost,
Cause” to the end and Woody being on the
Union side, lioth brawny, hardy moun
taineers. Woody finally drew his
pistol and commenced firing at
Findly, who returned the fire
until both had exhnusied their pistols.
Findly was slightly wounded in two places,
as was also Woody. who was more severely
hurt. A bystander by -he name of McKinsey
was mortally wounded during the inter
change of shots, and died that night. Both
Findly and Woody were indicted for his
murder, hence the trial; and it seems to be
enveloped in considerable mystery as to
which one did the killing. Woody has
served twelve months In the penitentiary
for ou assault with intout to murder Findly,

and about the time he got out he drew a
pension from the United States govern
ment of over SI,OOO.
Litt Kanes, of Gilmer county, has rather
a peculiar history. Just after the war he
had S2OO in gold, and kept it in bis trunk.
One Sunday morning he started to church,
and fearing someone would break in and
steal his little fortune, he returned and care
fully wrapped the gold in a rag and con
cealed it in a crack of the house. During
his absence at church a thief broke in, rifled
everything, beds, boxes and trunks in search
of money, but failed to find any. This bold
break thoroughly frightened Hanes and
he resorted to another mode of
concealment. Taking a jug and
filing off its neck so as to ad
mit species of all kinds, he carefully con
cealed it in a by-way near his mountain
borne and rolled ’a large 150-pound rock over
it. Since then he lias added every dollar to
its bulk he could accumulate, never remov
ing it from its sequestered haunt. The
other day he took out his jpg to pav for a
farm which he had purchased in Cherokee
county, and on taking it to Jasper to count
out the money it was found to contain
$1,500. The farm lumped the pile, but it is
said to be worth $4,000. His fife has been
one of comparative seclusion, and his little
ante-bellum repository is now the means of
future comparative ease.
S. J. Smith, a hard-working farmer of
Dodge county, living about seven miles west
of Eastman, was perhaps fatally injured on
the railroad of the Ainoskeag Lumber Com
pany last Friday afternoon. Mr. Smith
had been to Eastman, and on starting home,
as was his custom, he boarded the train at
the Amoskeag works. When the train
reached the place where he had usually been
getting off, Mr. Smith was standing on the
rear trucks, mid, motioning the engineer to
slow up, the train was soon almost at
a standstill. Just at this time Mr.
Smith stepped off the rear end and at
tempted to leave the track before the train,
which was backing, could overtake him.
He had not taken more than one step, how
ever, liefore his foot came in contact with a
erosstie and he fell, the trucks passing over
him. As soon as possible he was token from
under the cal's, and carried to his home some
distance off. An investigation revealed the
fact that he had sustained injuries fearful
to contemplate. Both arms were com
pletely shattered and his head
was terribly bruised, besides other
injuries. Drs. Buchan, Latimer and Fisher
were hastily summoned and amputated the
right arm. It was thought that the un
fortunate man could not bear up under the
operation of taking off the left arm, and
that was defeixed for the present, though
there is absolutely no hope of saving it. Mr
Smith at last accounts was in a very critical
condition, and his death at any moment
would not surprise his physicians. He has
a wife and two children' dependent upon
him for support.

affectionately exclaims, ‘Kissimmee, good
bye!’”
It is stated upon good authority that in
the event of William Aster’s refusal to ex
tend the lease of the Park Opera House
Company, of Jacksonville, that organiza
tion will purchase the lot northeast corner
of Ocean and Forsyth street, owned by John
Q. Burbridge, and used by him as a grocery
store. It is understood that the owner will
dispose of the valuable piece of property at
reasonable terms. This lot is 104 feet wide
by 110 deep, and for a theatre a better or
more desirable location could not lie found
in the city. The plans for the now building
has been submitted to all the stockholders,
and each man has expressed himself well
pleased with the drawings. The entire
building will be of brick, with white marble
columns running from foundation to roof at
both the front and side. The lirst floor will
consist of live fine stores.
The Welbourne block, when completed,
will bo the finest in Sanford. On the first
floor corner will be the First National Bank
of Hanford, having three fine stores for
rent. The second and part of the third
floor will lie occupied as the general offices
of the South Florida Railroad Company.
These quarters will be furnished with elec
tric enunciate rs. The south end of the
third floor is being preparix! expressly for
the Masonic order us & lodge room
and the walls are being
deadened for greater security. This room
will be handsomely furnished by the Masons
at a cost of about 9500 and sub-rented by
them to the Knights of Pythias, Ancient
Order United Workmen, Select Knights

most perfectly arranged lodge rooms in the
State.
