Sparta is in a somewhat anomalous condi
tion. It has two sets of councilmen, and
neither set seems to be in control. Possibly
it would be a good idea for the old board to
retire anil let the new board come in, or

looking to their resignation. The present
state of affairs ought not to be allowed to
continue, as the town for more than two
weeks has been without any responsible
head

G. W. McCormic, a wealthy citizen of
Thomasville, who is not a member of any
church, surprised the several white pastors
of 1 he different churches in that city recent
ly by presenting each of them with a house
and lot. In executing the deeds lie men
tioned no other consideration than that the
preachers’ lives had been spent in “going
about doing good,” Such disinterested well
bostowed benevolence is worth more in the
sight of heaven thin all the sympathetic
praises of those who give for a name only.

some seven or eight • years ago, and who.
having juni|>ed his bond, was apprehended
in Florida several montlis ago and brought
back to Valdosta, stood his trial last week

manslaughter, but the jury thought the

terward released on bail.
Gilbert Lee, of Valdosta, had the mis
fortune to lose his barn, together with
buggy, wagon and all the corn, fodder and
other toed he had for the years supply, by
fire on Monday night last, and his mule was
so badly burned before removal from the
stable as to render it unfit for work for a
long time to come. The fire is thought to
be the work of an incendiary, and suspicion
rests on a colored woman " who has been
heard to make threats to burn out various
farmers and probably seized upon this being
the best time for the work, Mr. Lee being
absent fj-om home.
Lifrt Tuesday, about 4 miles above Wat
kinsvillo, a difficulty occurred between B.

ficulty occurred. It is said Doolittle struck

J. Barry, living a few miles north of
Buchanan, has an acre sowed in herds grass.
He sowed his seed lust February a year ago.
Five head of sheep and one cow grazed on
this patch of grass last fall and winter. Mr.
Barry said he fed his sheep but two feeds
during the whole winter, and never fed his
cow but little. He took his sheep and cow
off this patch about two months ago, and
turned his mare in, which was in very ixx>r
order. His mare has picked up wonderfully
since then, and has had her steady at work
ever since. He has fed her no fodder at all,
and has given her but half tho usual amount
of corn.
Over .500 colts are owned in Burke, and
they ask SIOO to S2OO each for them. Roland
Bteiner, a citizen of the county, has twelve
brood mares and seven colts. For one of
t hese (silts, which is ten months old, he has
repeatedly refused $.150. This is a
blooded animal, from Mr. McCathern's
celebrated thoroughbred stallion, Alinont,
which is valuedat SO,OOO. Mr. J.
li. Fulcher, also, who is considerably in
terested in stock raising, has a two-veur-old
colt for which lie lias refused $.500. The ag
gregate value of Burke county’s live stock
is siiV>,ao7, and the amount will continue to
increase every year.
ThnnuwviUe Tim tut: Dick Adonis in
forms us that he has had one case of so
culled rabies in his herd. Tho cow looked
wild, would have spoils of turning around
till she would fall, would froth at the
mouth, etc. Believing it to lie some other
disease than rallies affecting the cattle, and
the symptoms being somewhat similar to
those in staggers, he bled the cow copiously.
Who was relieved, amt in a short time as
well as ever. Wo would advise this treat
ment on the part of any others who may
have mud catUo, hogs or other animals,
except dogs. Perhaps the usual treatment
is better in this ease.
The Dougherty County Commissioners
have acted favorably upon the recommenda
tion of the grand jury and passed an order
appropriating S6OO aw the county's contribu
tion to tho illustrated pamphlet to lw> pub
lished to advertise Albany and Dougherty
coiuitv abroad. This assures tho publication
of such a pamphlet as will make a creditable
showing for the county, and the amount
that tho county has appropriated to it will
be money w. ll spent. Work on the pam
phlet will Ixi commenced right away, and
Homes of the pictures with which the publi

county, by the late act of the Legislature.
They have not been consulted on the sub
ject, and knew nothing of the proposed ex
cision from Orange until tho announcement
of the passage of the bill. One thing that

where the dividing line runs, one report
having it that the dividing line divides their
town. There is great excitement in Sor
rento on this subject

streams felt the day of nervous dread of fire

Hon. John D. Broome, recently appointed
Judge of the Seventh circuit, was tern in
Hamburg, S. C., in 1825, and came to
Florida when a child with his father, who
became Governor of the Stab:. Judge
Broome was educated at Mercer University,
Pentield, Ga After finishing his collegiate
studies he went to Fernandina, and engaged
in the practice of law, marrying a daughter
of Judge J. T. O’Neill, of Nassau county.
In 1866 he moved to New Y ork, practicing
law in that city until 1874, when he returned
to Florida, and has since been residing at
DeLand. He was also a member of the iate
Constitutional Convention and served on
Gen. Finley’s staff during the war.
The bill appropriating $12,000 to the East
Floriila Heminary lias passed both houses of
the Legislature. This will be a powerful
stimulant to tho cause of education in Flor
ida, and is another step forward in the ad
vancement of Gainesville’s material inter
ests. With the money the barracks will be
completed and other needed improvements
will be made. The people of Gainesville,
all of whom feel a deep interest in the wel
fare of the seminary, are very much elated
ovyr the act of the Legislature. East
Florida Seminary has for several veal's been
recognized as one of the leading educational
institutions in Florida, and with this assist
ance from the State it can easily be made
second to no institution in the South. To
Capt. E. P. Cater, the efficient superinten
dent of the seminary, is duo a great amount
of praise for his efforts in behalf of the
passage of the bill.
Capt. E. E. Vaill, late of the old St. Au
gustine Hotel, is in St. Augustine with
plans for the new block he is to erect on the
grounds where the hotel stood before it was
destroyed by fire. The collector of customs
has been authorized to receive bids for that
portion of the lot owned by the United
States for a term of five years, and it is
hoped that Capt. Vaill will have no opposi
tion in again securing this lot, as lie is the
lessee for a long number of years of these
lots on the north and south of this small
strip owned by the United States. His losses
by tho late fire exceeded $135,000. upon
which there was no insurance, and
the old veteran comes forth without a mur
mur and now proposes to erect a block of
fifteen stores, 25x40, as a foundation for a
mammoth new St. Augustine hotel that will
be built. The style will be in harmony with
the large buildings that have been erected
and of the same order of architecture as tho
I.yon block, Casum Monica, and the pro
posed rebuilding of the Cathedral. Should
the question of the lenso of this United
States lot present no difficulty, this work
will te commenced in about two weeks and
