There are now eighteen inmates at the home. Uncle Dick S tat ham. of Jackson county, and Uncle Sugar Hill, of Gwinnett, met in a store at Jug Tavern the other day, ana to test the relative importance of the two count ies they represent they agreed to weigh. Jackson county tipped the beam at 210 pounds and Gwinnett at 205. Both of these gentlemen are well known in that section, and have no doubt grown fat from laugh ing. The State Board of Visitors appointed by the Governor to examine pupils In the State colleges having organized with Rev. W. J. Scott, of Atlanta, chairman, and Prof. Lawton B. Evans, of Augusta, secretary, are now engaged in examining the pupils of the Atlanta University (colored). They ex press themselves ns much impressed with the high standard of excellence in the •school. A party of ten young people left Amf'ri cus Friday morning over the eastern exten sion of the Americas, Preston and Lumpkin railroad. The party had been invited by Miss Corde Hawkins, daughter of President S. H.

Welchel, of Lula, found Robert Cushing, about 2 o’clock Tuesday morning, at the crossing on the Richmond and Dan ville railroad, where the Athens road crosses, with his skull burst all to pieces and mortally injured. It seems that from ail indications he was hit on his head with a stone and then put on the track, for there were signs where the body had been dragged some twenty feet, and a rock was also lying near where the body was discovered. The Americus City Council bought the court house square from the County Com missioners Tuesday night, paying SIO,OOO for it. The old court hi >use will be thoroughly repaired, und the building will be made one of the prettiest in the city.

The square will be fenoed in by a neat railing and the grounds laid off into a beautiful park. C. M. Strahan, an adjunct professor in the university, has offered a handsome medal for tho liest mathematical scholar in the freshman class. The medal is on exhi tion at Scudder’s, and is one of the hand somest ever seen in Athens.

Prof. Strahan’s medal is on in dividual prize, and is not connected with any of the university medals. At a conference of the Gainesville Baptist church, held on last Sunday, Rev. G. A. Nunually, of Eufaula, Ala.", was unani mously called to the pastorate of the church. Dr. Nunnally is a Georgian, and ranks as one among the ablest ministers of tlie Bap tist denominations in the South. While the citizens of Gainesville were exceedingly sorry to give up Rev. A. A. Marshall, they are fortunate in recuring the services of Dr. Nunnally, and feel assured that the church will grow under his ministrations. After the mail train on the Forsyth divis ion of the Central railroad had passed Mor row’s station Tuesday morning, Railway Postal Clerk Milner unlocked the mail pouch handed on at that station. On turning back the flap of the pouch, out sprang a rattle snake about 10 or 12 inches long and struck at the postmaster. This so surprised him that it is said he jumped backward the whole length of the car, so that for a while his snakoehip hud complete possession of Uncle Sam’s mail. The commotion it oc casioned soou alarmed the passengers on the train, and by the well-directed blows of a “ixisse eomitatus” his snakeship was soon lying a lifeless corpse. How he got there will tea case for tho investigation of a spe cial mail inspector. One of tlio most fiendish outrages ever perpetrated has Just, been reported from near Grady. Mrs. Wilson and her several small children were at their home, which is situated in a secluded and out-of-the-way SI ace. While the husband was absent Mori av a black fiend rushed upon the poor frightened and unprotected woman, seizing her around the waist and threw her violent ly to-thc ground. To prevent her screams he seized her by the throat, and with the most horrid oaths threatened to kill her and her children. The poor woman finally suc ceeded in freeing herself from the grasp of the.fiend, and ran to the house of her near est neighbor, where she now is. The woods arejfulTof people searching for the villain. If caught there will be no jail fees to pay. More than 300 men are at work now at theJWedniont Fair grounds, and the force will Be rapidly increased. J. C. Peck has determined not to let the main building out by contract, but has secured a foreman and about 230 carpenters with which he will begin the erection of the building next Monday morning. Much of the timber is now on hand and is being prepared for the work. Foundations are laid, and Mr. Pock thinks within fifty days the building wiilbe completed. Mr. Norman, the architect, has returned from Gadsden and will have plans for the gates, grand stand and club nouse ready in a few days, when these will be given out and work begun on them. McKiug berry’s fort* of about, fifty men is at work clearing up the grounds and giving a park like aspect to the forest.

The district conference of the Methodist church met in Orlando yesterday. A three clays’ session will be held. The Greys, of Do Land have challenged the Enterprise boys to play a game of ball at E.it rpnse next Thursday. Spring Garden, near DeLand, has a 200 acre corn field doing well. Corn fields will boom Florida better than billiard tables. Mr. Herman Davis, one of Do Laud’s suc cessful business men, was married on May 13, at Selma, Ala., to Miss Harriet Harris. The accommodation train leaving Hanford for Kissimmee at 6 o'clock p. m. has again been placed ou the South Florida ruih'oad. The Macon and Florida Air lane to Lake City is being talked up again, and bids ore asked for the grading, ties, etc., and Are to be in by June 6. Joe ‘ph Buvubjr and daughter, of oAnJj,, Mrs. W. J. Hill and Mrs. William hdKcui, THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1887. of Sanford, left this week for England for a three months’ visit. Beginning on Monday last regular mail service was established on the Blue Spring, Orange City and Atlantic railroad. This is a great benefit to the thriving towns along the line. W. E. Arnold, formerly of Longwood, but late of Kansas City, Mo., has been ap pointed traveling passenger agent of the South Florida railroad, with headquarters at Orlando. F. W. Murray, Sr., of Gotha, is bragging on one of his cukes, which measure 13% inches in length, 11 in circumference, ana weighs 8% pounds. How mnch colic is con tained in that innocent looking vegetable is not said. The machinery for the fence factory at Sanford was shipped on Saturday last, and is expected there "in a few days. It will not take a great while to place it in position and running order, and the factory will be in full blast by June IS. T. J. Hiii. of Woodbridge, has gained for himself another trophy in the shape of a wild cat pelt. He says the cat was the largest he has ever killed, and upon opening it he found two chickens and a rabbit. The chickens looked suspiciously like his own. The railway mail service between Sanford and Tavares} heretofore performed by the route agent between Titusville and Tavares, has been discontinued, and only closed pouches will be used for the present at least. The agent now runs between Sanford and Titusville. Dr. M. L. Moore left Gainesville Tuesday evening for Los Angeles, Cal., where he will take a half interest in tho extensive practice of Dr. Bidwell, of that city. Dr. Moore has perhaps as many friends in Gainesville as any other man" in city, and his departure will te much lamented. Dr. King Wyllv, of Sanford, left - there on Tuesday last for Tampa to confer with Dr. Wall in regard to the adoption of strin gent measures te prevent tlie introduction of yellow fever into Florida from Key West or Havana. They will visit the exposed places along the coast and do all possible to keep the enemy out. There are in DeLand fourteen printers and apprentices. Of this number there is not a drunkard, nor a person who takes an occasional dram. A majority of these prin ters are good church members and attend church services regularly, while every workman in one of the offices belongs to the Sons of Temperance, and the same can be said of a number in the other offices. Halifax Beach seems to be making a long stride forward. Mr. Wright, the Secretary and Manager of the company, says that a hotel to cost $30,000 will te built on the peninsula; also a railroad and wagon bridge will be built this summer, connecting the mainland with the bench. These improve ments place Halifax Beach as the foremost summer watering place for South Florida. Arrangements are Being made, too, in the way of amusements, and other conveniences for excursion parties. On Tuesday last the citizens of Enterprise elected a full municipal ticket, as follows: Mayor, F. B. Biddulph; Aldermen, 8. A. Donald, George H. Count and William James, Jr.; Treasurer and Clerk, William R. Fitts; Marshal and Collector, Leven Ann wood; Assessor v John W. Count. En terprise has been repeatedly stirred from centre to circumference by municipal dis sentions, and finally they had to send to Sanford for a Mavor, Mr. Biddulph hating removed from that pitted to Enterprise eight months ago. A. N. Cooley, of Pittsfield, Mass., and C. C. Turner, of Chicago, Ills., will start a moss factory at Sanford soon. They have let the contract for the clearing of the land and the erection of the factory, which will be located on the first block west of the saw mill and on the Jake shore, where they can have moss delivered from ’boaiji-yjwell as from wagons. The work of the factory will bo to comb and dress the moss for uphol stering purposes, and in the mill'}ana the gathering of moss, tfeey will givs employ ment to a large number of men W. A. Donahue, a freight flagman on the South Florida railroad, was badly injm-ed while coupling cars at Kissimmee last Fri day afternoon. On that day he was running as extra baggage master on the accommoda tion train leaving Sanford at 10:20 a. m., and was in the act of coupling a passenger coach to a freight car. The poor fellow was caught between the two drawheads and badly injured, but fortunately not fatally. He was carried to Sanford on the afternoon train and placed in the company’s hospital, ami is in a fair way to recover. His escape from almost instant death seems to be nothing short of miraculous, as ho was caught at tho waist. Tuesday night there arrived in Jackson ville on the Florida Railway and Naviga tion train a boy about 7 years of age. Upon the front of his cap was a card upon which was written: “Johnny Hennessy,from Waco, McLennon county, Texas. Going to J. 8. Kuns, Paola, Orange county, Florida” The t>oy had a through ticket from Waco to that city,and was to nave been met there by a friend and sent to his destination, but as the friend failed to put in appearance, Mr. Beerbower took charge of him, and after giving him a good supper, sent him on his journey, via Orlando, on his own responsi bility. Tho little fellow was quite manly, and seemed to be entirely at ease traveling by himself. What chiefly interests the Wood bridge’ people now is the new railroad. County Surveyor Fries and assistants have been at work running the lines from there to Rock fedge since Monday, May 16. The line is to boos straight as possible, passing south of Lake Pickett. As more information in re gard to the scope and route of the new line comes in, one is impressed with the fact that when completed, it will be the one great railroad or the State. Woodbridge should certainly be a good sized town, especially for manufacturing purposes, for via the South Florida railroad is the great Northern and Eastern trunk line, and via the A. F. & A., will be the great Western trunk line, n direct connection with the coal end slds of Alabama. When the l oad is completed why should this not be the best distributing p°lnt of South Florida for the Florida Fruit Exchange. Zachary Taylor Crawford, late receiver of the United States Land Office at Gaines ville, and who diixWSaturday, was born in Decatur county, Ga., in ISto. He was edu cated in the common schools of that towu. While yet a mero boy he entered the Con federate army and did yeoman service for three years. Just three years prior to Lee’s surrender he was taken prisoner in Virginia, but when peace was declared he was dis charged, having only been imprisoned two months. Returning to Rainbridge he studied law and was soon admitted to prac tice. In the spring of 1874 he moved to Manat** county, Fla. There his talent and legal ability at once found recognition, and ho lost no time in coming to the front ranks in all matters pertaining to not only State affairs but to church matters as well. He was for many years County Judge for Manatee county, and for several years was Representative from that county in the (State Legislature. On Aug. 80, 1880, he was appointed to the office of Receiver of Public Moneys at tho United States Land Office in Gainesville to take the place of Hon. John F. Rollins, sns pended. During the latter part of October following he was married to Miss Nannie Mizell, daughter of Col. Ezekell Mizell, of Pine Level, Fla., and on Nov. 2 Judge Crawford brought his bride to Gainesville and entered upon the duties of his position at tho United States Land Office. Hiliee that time lie made hosts of warm and substantial friends in Gainesville. During his early life he became an earneat,, working member of the Methodist church, and although he had been there Iwt a few months he was already looked upon as a church pillar, being foremost in every move* meat that served to strengthen the church and advance the cause of Clu'istianity. Ha was one of the first movers in the organiza- Klen’s Christian Association was a faithful;worker in 1. To his young wife, who ide, the heartfelt sympathfr omniunity is extended iq uwut HOW FLORIDA MAKES SENATORS. The Funny Chicago Tribune Man Tells „ the Story. The esteemed Chicago Tribune's funny man tells the following little story about the recent Senatorial contest in the Florida Legislature. He says: “Bubby Perry and Sonny Bloxham were two good little bovs that were deeply enamored of the same little girl, whose name was Florry Day. Long they strove in generous rivalry for the horror of car rying her lunch basket to school and fighting the flies away from her when she sat down to rest after jumping the rope at recess. It puzzled Florry’s little head to decide between them. She could have been happy with either if the other had lieen away. She gave both locks of her hair—dead loads of locks, in fact, and loads of dead locks—but it did not ease the difficulty of the situation. They still strove for her preference, and she was still unable to say which one she pre ferred. Finally 1 , for the sake of preserving peace in Miss Florry's family, Bubby Perry and Sonny Bloxham held a conference and resolved that, as she was so very particular, they would both go off and play marbles by themselves and let her see how it felt to have no little sweetheart; and while they were doing this a boy named Chappie Pasco walked off with "little Florry Day. And this, my children, is the way they make United States Senators down in suuny Florida.” THE SUB-TROPICAL. Arrangements Made for a Series of Meetings. It has been decided by the General Com mittee on the Sub-Tropical Exposition that a series of public meetings be called in the leading cities of Florida, to be addressed by a member of the committee to aid in its or ganization and to obtain stock subscriptions. The following are the dates fixed for these meetings: St. Augustine, Wednesday, June 1. Palatka, Thursday, June 2. Gainesville, Friday, June 3. Ocala, Saturday, June 4. Leesburg, Monday, June 6. Eustis. Tuesday, June 7. Orlando, Wednesday. June 8. Kissimmee, Thursday, June 9. Bartow. Friday, June 10. Tampa, Saturday, June 11. Sanford, Monday, June 13. Titusyiile, Tuesday, June 14. DeLand, Wednesday, June 15. Daytona, Thursday” June 16. Later dates will be fixed for Northern and Middle Florida. The Mayors and Boards of Trade in each of these "cities are respect fully requested to give general notice through their local papers and otherwise, and make arrangements for a public meet ing on the day specified, and to secure as many stock subscriptions as possible, and to inform the Secretary of the General Com mittee of their action at an early date. Florida’s Sub-Tropical Exposition. From the Jacksonville Morning News. The Sub-Tropical enthusiasts are jubilant over the success of their project and predict for the concern a long life. No definite re ports have been turned in by the canvassing committee, but it is said that not loss than $7,000 has been subscribed, with $7,000 more in sight. This does not include the SIO,OOO which the committee expect to get from the railroads. It is estimated that Jacksonville will contribute from $30,000 to one-third of the requisite SIOO,OOO. The Boards of Trade in the principal cities in the State are taking active steps in regard to the affair, and in a week or so the committee expect to receive prom ises of substantial aid from a number of counties. Palatka, Sanford, Orlando and other places will contribute largely to the concern. The Sub-Tropical projectors feel certain of some little aid from the Legislature and it is understood Mr. Paine Is in Tallahassee at present at work on a bill for the State to subscribe about SIO,OOO. The eommitte on site has a number of offers of desirable locations, but as yet no action has been taken in this line." It is thought, however, that ground near the water works,in Springfield, will be selected. An Important Enterprise. From the Key West Democrat. Now that an enterprise is on foot to start a mammoth nursery of olives near the pro posed settlement of Naples, in Monroe county, it would be well for our South Florida people to give the subject of olive culture in our section of this county serious consideration, and inquire whether there is any other possible investment that will pay more readily and with more certainty than an olive plantation. We all know from the earliest date of which we have any record, the culture of the olive has been recognized as a profitable industry in those Eastern countries where the climate was adapted to its growth, ami its cultivators have always been regarded as benefactors of the human race. The Wonder is that a crop so easy of cultivation, with so few enemies and with such satisfactory results, should have been so long neglected in a country so well adapted to its cultivation. The olive is generally propagated from the cutting, any small section of the tree with good thick bark growing readily. There is an old Italian proverb which says: “An olive plantation is a gold mine on the face of the earth.” Many valuable improvements have been lately made in the manufacture of asbestos paint in England. In the tests made of its efficiency a piece of light pine wood, about six inches loug by jfour inenes square, paint ed with five coats, was planed for upward of half an hour in an orihndry grate fire, but, although the wobd within was reduced to charcoal, there wa.4 ho blaze whatever emit ted during the charring. Again, a small model theatre, built of wood, with set scenes aud accessories, was sprinkled with turpen tine and set on fire; every portion was ig nited and the whole was consumed. A simi lar model, wfth the set scenes and the wood framing all painted with asbestos, was drenched with turpentine and set on fire, too, but the thiu scenes were only partially charred at the lower ends with the turpen tine flames, while the timbering was not even ignited. Clear the Way. Without loss of time, when the Intestinal canal is blocked tip by reason of constipation, chronic or temporary. It should be borne in mind that this ailment is prone to become lasting aud ob- Otinnte. and ta-eed other amt worse complaints. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the precise remedy to remove ttie obstruction effectually, but without drenching or weakening the block aded bowel*, a consequence always to be appre hended from the use of violent laxative", which are among the most pernicious of the cheap nostrums swallowed by the credulous and mis informed. The lint of experience, and of the medical fraternity, sanctions the claims of this standard aperient. Not only as a source of re lief und permanent regularity of the bowels, liver and stomach, but as a means of remedying and preventing kidney ami bladder troubles, and fever and ague, it is without a peer. 5 ■ 111 . .iii .—i _ i SHIPPING.
