OnN. M. Weaver’s plantation in the Ninth
district of Randolph county, on or near the
Pataula creek, the storm of last Tuesday
evening scorched the cotton on an eighteen
acre fieid, burning the leaves to a crisp and
killing it. The cotton in the entire field, ex
cept on a narrow strip next a piece of wood
land, was scorched so that the leaves ware
as completely crisped and dry as if a ball of
fire had rolled over it. Can someone ex
plain this wonderful phenomenon? No other
crop in the plantation was injured.
Work on Athens’ new opera house hangs
fire, on account of a discovery that the
shape of the lots is cranksided anil the build
ing designed won’t fit it. An effort is made
to exchange a small strip of ground with
adjacent land owners on each side, but they
insist on selling their property. The only
way left to remedy the matter is to take off
a foot from the size of the house, when it
can be gotten on the ground without being
built lap-sided. Already eleven days have
been lost. It is now too late to abandon the
project, as the contractors have ordered the
material to build.
Who wouldn’t be a Georgia country edi
tor} Just hear how Brother Callaway, of

was our goal fortune on last Tuesday to
lay dull care aside and, in company with
several other (?) handsome gentlemen and a
bevy of Walt Point’s fair maidens, to hie
away, in one of Cooper & Kirby’s splendid
turnouts, to the classic, inviting shades and
mossy banks of Flat Shoal creek, at John
son’s” Mills. The day was spent in a
delightful manner, chasing wild flow
ers, climbing the picturesque hills
and angling for “minnows and love.”
At hign boon we gathered ourselves
together wound the festive cloth that
groaned beneath its load of good things and
partook of a feast that was indeed a “but
ton tester. 1 The tempting viands disap.
peared with lightning-like rapidity and
continued until we grew to a fulness that
bade us take no more. After a merry,
merry day we returned home in good
humor with ourselves and all the world,
and feeling better for having gone to ow
annual picnic.”

a short distance of Capt. AV. D. Dickinson’s

and turn. Upon ihvestagation a huge
’gator was discovered just in front with his
head in the edge of the road. The horse
was quieted, driven back a few rods and
hitched. Now what was to be done?
There was no way to get around as it was
a swampy place; and they had nothing
to kill it with. They gathered a
pole, and Miss Hampton struck it a
severe blow, causing it to jump into the
road. Seeing the length of it, thev decided
they couldn't kill it. So Miss H. minded the
'gator and Charles went to Capt. D.’s to get
his gun and shoot it. Capt. D. had nothing
but small shot, so he gathered his ax and
rushed to the spot. After using the ax and
long poles for some time thoy conquered
him. When measured he was found to be
fourteen feet long and looked to be as bigas
a sugar barrel. Miss H. and Charles then
came on to town, arriving about dusk. This
is a true story.
