Carroll, of Stockbridge, is experi menting with swamp muck this year. He manured his corn and got a line stand, anil it looks as well as if it had guano under it.

Davis, one of Cave Springs’ success ful farmers, has some of the finest sjiecimens of cotton thut has ever been shown yet in the early season.

King, for several years a clerk In the office of the superintendent of the railway mail service at Atlanta, has been promoted to the head of this branch of the postal service. Mr. King is said to be one of the most efficient men in the Atlanta post office department, and his promotion is deserved. A Milledgeville special of May 15* says: “During a severe thunder storm hero yes terday Miss CHp Barnes was shocked bv a lightning stroke and has not yet recovered from its effect. She was made blind, deaf and speechless by the jar. She is gradually improving now, and nor friends expect to nee, her all right again soon.” WaiTenton Clipper: Undoubtedly the oat crop is a failuie. This is a liard fact for our farmers to realise, but what can’t be cured must be endured. Oats were at one time thought to be one of the most profita ble crops that a fanner could plant, but the successive failure of the last three yearn soe.ni to contradict the theory. B Bailiff Skipper, of Randolph county, with ■no other men, went to arrest a"negro, ■Wednesday morning, near Cuthbert.

The quarterly meeting of tho Turin circuit was held at Coke’s chapel on Saturday and Sunday last. The reporw from the churches comp-uiug the circuit were urterwUfio an J ! satisfactory.

The oldest member of the church says the congregation on Saturday was the Largest that has been in the house on any week clay in twenty-five years. The Baptist ladies of Last Macon made pi-njaration to hold a festival on Cutter’s green the other night. When the rain be gun to fall the tables were moved in No. 6’s engine house, and a snug sum was realized for Warren chapel. If men had been in charge of the affair tho rain would have discouraged them completely. But the ladies always succeed w hen they set their minds on an object. 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 oi>en negotiations with the new members 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 A gentleman and lady riding in Putnam eountv several days ago, were surprised to find themselves suddenly in the midst of a large swarm of bees, flying across the road, and for a time thev seemed inclioed to settle on the buggy. What is remarkable, the parties and horse all escaped without in jury. Bees are always attracted to that which Ls sweet, and it has been suggested there were over 100 pounds of honey in that huggy. The crops in Dougherty county are look ing well. Oats are being harvested and the fail sowing will yield well. Cora is prom ising, being luxuriant with almost perfect stands. Pea planting has been almost gen eral for a week past, and the indications are that a heavy crop has been put in. This is one of the most profitable crops cultivated and the acreage in them could be wisely in creased, both as a renovator of land and as an easy money crop. Within the last few weeks Capt. Oliver and liis men have broken up six houses of ill-fame in Athens, run by negroes, some of which had been in existence for ten years or more. Next week they will begin to clear out some dens in the upper part of the city. On, the complaint of citizens living in any part of the city that such places exist, they will be at once attended to by the police. Mayor Hodgson is determined to remove these blots from the city. Eatonton Messenger: We have before us the exact copy of a letter from Douglass Green, President of the Covington and Macon Railroad Company, to President E. B. Smith, of the Macon and Eatonton road, in which it is stated in positive terms that the road will be built. We understand from those in position to know that as soon as the Covington and Macon road is completed to Athens and to Madison, the Monticello and Eatonton branch will be begun. This will be sometime next fall. 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. Jasper Giddens. who killed Hightower 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 and was acquitted. The indictment was for manslaughter, but the jury thought the case against him was not strong enough to warrant conviction. Immediately upon the discharge, Giddens was rearrested un der an old indictment against him for biga my, and he was carried back to jail, but af 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. Doolittle and Bob Bones, that will probably result in Doolittle’s death. Doolittle hail routed land from a Mr. Whitehead, and Bones was employed by him. The two men were at Work together in a field, when a dif ficulty occurred. It is said Doolittle struck Bones first, when the latter drew liis knife, inflicting severe stabs on each side of his stomach and in the back. Bones then es caped ami has not been captured. Dr. White, of Watkiusville, was sent for Saturday with the information that Doolittle was dying. George Lawshe, a well-known young At lantian, was hurled from a trestle on the East Tennessee road at Briswell, Friday night, to the ground sixty feet below, re ceiving injuries which resulted in liis death within an hour. Ho was employed as a flagman on the last division of freight train No. 27, whil-h was duo in Atlanta at 1 o’clock Saturday morning. The. freight was standing on the trestle when a passenger train come up and ran into tho rear ears. Lawshe was in the caboose, but rushed to the door as the collision occurred and was hurled to the grouud beneath by the shock. 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 cation is to be embellished will be taken this week. The illustrations are not to he con fined to the city, but every port of the wu.ity will be represented. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. MAT 24, 1887. The baccalaureate sermon of the Atlanta University was preached in Htone Hall at 11 o'clock .Sunday morning by Rev. C. 1.. Woodsworth, D."D., of Boston. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday forenoons public examinations will lie held before the board of visitors apjxiiiited by the Governor. Ex hibits of the industrial work of the institu tion will be made each day.

It will occur in February. A big moonlight excursion to the beach and a moonlight drill by the surf is on the tapis by the Fernandina volunteer company. The proprietors of the corner fruit and peanut stands at Jacksonville feel greatly incensed at the Mayor’s order to vacate by June 1. The first shipment of watermelons from Kissimmee was on May 9, and it was a very fine lot. Other sections of tho country think it fortunate to cut a melon July 4. After gathering nearly 3,000 quarts of strawberries from his acre patch, Mr. Eyeleshimer, of Winter Haven, has begun making jelly with the remainder of the crop. An order was given last Tuesday at Kis simmee for 250,000 brick to be delivered as soon as the Midland road is completed to that point for the erection of a three-story block. E. P. Hyer, of Orlando, has bought the stock of stationery of A. H. Maim and will move his stock of goods, etc., to the store Mr. Mann has teen occupying until he builds the brick store on his old stand. The Legislature, after passing only 35 per cent, of the tdlls coming before, it, will ad journ in about twelve days. So far 274 bills have gone into the Senate and 318 into the House, very few being acted on. Madison Recorder: Asa mark of appre ciation of the services of Rev. J. B. Culpep per, while here, a subscription of SSO was presented him for his wife, and one aggre gating more than $125 was given’ him for the Orphans ’Home. Col. A. M. Thrasher, of Sanford, has just contracted for the erection of a two-story brick building on his property on Palmetto avenue. It will be 20x55; the first floor will lie used as a storeroom, aud on the second a Suite of rooms for offices. On and after July 1 there will be daily mail service on Indian river bv the Indian River Steamboat Company, of which Gen. Bently is President. This will add greatly to the comfort and convenience of the citi zens residing along that boautiful stream. The bill introduced in the Legislature to lessen the extent of the corporate limits of Gainesville, will, it is thought, fall like a wet horse blanket. “The idea of curtailing the limits of a prosperous, growing city like Gainesvillo is preposterous,” says the Advo cate. H. B. Lord has had placed in his new store in the Hotchkiss block, Sanford, a burglar alarm, which connects with his resi dence on Commercial street. The individ ual who now goes into the store at night will find himself in a hornet’s nest in short order. The schooner L. N. Dantzler, Capt. John Alberts, arrived at Jacksonville Saturday from Key Largo with a cargo of 3,000 dozen pineapples. The bulk of the fruit is to bo shipped to Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, but a great deal of it is being sold there, especially that which is found to be too ripe for shipment. Washington county, and more especially that portion bordering on tho East Bay, is on the move. Last week there was eleven homesteads located on East Bay and in tho Kerwine settlement. The locations of E. Smith, M. V. Rodney, John E. Smith and T. H. Chapman are being cleared, house logs cut, etc., preparatory to cultiva tion on no small scale. At 10 o’clock Saturday night Mr. E. E. Jolison, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Jacksonville, died after a pro tracted illness of consumption.

He leaves two children, his wife having died about a year ago. Fernandina Mirror: Mention has hereto fore been made in our columns of the ar rival, at different times, of 12 boilers, orre torts, lor the Creosote Lumber and Con struction Company. Each one of these re torts weigh 1,300 pounds, is 25 feet long and 18 feet in circumference. Two more of these, the ereosoting cylinders, are yet to arrive, which are 80 and 100 feet long re spectively. There is ail Italian in Orlando who weighs aliout 360 ixiuniis and is the eliampion beer drinker of that section. The other evening he drank twelve schooners and eight small glasses of beer, and offered to drink a keg in one day if any one would pav for it. Allien asked if he was not afraid of getting beastly drunk he replied: “No, a man can’t get drunk on beer unless he makes a hog of himself.” Gainesville Adt-oeafe: We are Informed by Dr. George H. Sutherland that $.5,000 has boon donated toward the purchase of a lot to give to any one building a hotel there on. The doctor leaves in a few ilays for Boston, where he will place the scheme before a syndicate, and he has no doubt but that he can get them interested. The doctor is a good talker and an excellent man to I present such a proposition. The flag awarded to the Orlando division of the Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias by the Supreme lxidge at Toronto has arrived in Jacksonville and is ready for presenta tion through and ly Mr. A" C. C'owan, son of tli© Supreme Keeper of Records and Seals.

Woods, Collector of Revenue for Cal houn county. Saturday, during quite a severe squall from tho northeast, a party of tliroe colored men who had been fishing at tho St. John’s jetties mode sail and started for Mayport. After they had made a quarter of a mile W filialn Clarke, who was steering, fell overboard and attempted to swim ushore. An oar was thrown to Clarke, which ho seized. The boat was not able to get to him and he was drowned. His body has not yet teen found. The new depot recently completed at Mait land, bv tlio prosperous and ably maiiuged South Florida railroad, is indeed a thing of teauty as well as utility, and, though not the largest, is unquestionably one of the fiuest and most attractive depots on the lino from Sanford to Tampa. Ihe plans have also been drawn and accepted for a flag station house about three-fourths of a mile to the south, toward Winter Park, and east of the Park House, tho Episcopal and Cath olic churches. Saturday night, as the 5:45 train over the Florida Railway and Navigation road was approaching the Jacksonville depot, and just after crossing the Brooklyn bridge, the engine jumped the track at a defective frog ana ran across several tracks, stopping just as the boiler got at right-angles with tlie tender. A large force of men was sum moned, as well as several other locomotives and after several hours’ work it was pulled back on the track, having sustained but slight injuries. F. E. Turner, who lives about ten miles west of Jacksonville, has at his farm a curb osity in the shape of a five-legged pig. The animal is about two months old, but Mr. Turner never noticed this unusual feature until Saturday. The extra member Ls about five inches long and grows from the side of tho right fore leg. It is perfectly formed aud rests on the ground, the same as the bal ance of the pig’s lower extremities On the left forefoot is one more toe than a pig is generally allowed. The Sabbath School Convention in and for the Second district of Florida was in session Friday at Madison, and a large number of delegates were in attendance. This district reaches from Suwanee county on the east to the Apalachicola river on the west. The or der of exercises was varied and rich, and some of the best speakers in the State ad dressed delighted audiences on great themes. At night Maj. A. J. Russell delivered, an eloquent address on the object of the “Value of the Bible in Perpetuating Our Civil In stitutions. ” The people of Sorrento and vicinity are indignant at the sudden (and without their consent) transfer from Orango, to Lake 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 •adds to their confusion is the ignorance as to 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 Saturday afternoon another test of the Orlando fire plugs was made. The Mayor and Council and three or four hundred spectators assembled on Orange avenue to witness the work of tfce two plugs, one at Birnbaum’s corner, the other at the Kedney block. The hose was attached to the plugs (about 120 feet eech) and the water turned on. The stream at the Kedney block was thrown over 100 feet perpendicularly, the pressure at the time being only 75 pounds. The test was a perfectly satisfactory one, and all who witnessed the magnificent, streams felt the day of nervous dread of fire had passed. 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 be pushed to completion this summer. GRAIN AND HAY.
