8 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NKW3 OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Enterprising 1 Burglars—'The Peach Crop —A Georgia Editor’s Picnic—A Ne w Method of Keeping the Colored Brother in the Harness—Hoover’s Polite Invitation to Leave Madison GEORGIA. Tax returns at Athens are required to be Dade by June L Several parties are still very ill from the Woodvillo scourge. Already candidates for the Legislature are looming up in Clarke. About 175 have given their names to the Rome churches so far. A building and loan association has just been stalled at Bainbridge. The Rome cotton factory Iras completed one part of the building and the other will soon be finished. Rev. J. C. Porter, of Lake Weir, Fla., is assisting at the revival meetings at the Bap tist church at Brunswick. Athens holds a church-going people. The Wednesday afternoon prayer meetings in tile city churches are well attended. A committee in Madison have waited on Hoover and informed him that he must leave the city so soon as able to travel. Shade Love, who has been in the Camilla jail awaituig trial for assault with intent to murder, has been released under a bond of *SO. Cards are out for the marriage of Mr. Cornelius Garrett, of Augusta, and Miss Maggie, daughter of Mr. Can Holt Nash, of Atlanta. It is expected that Atlanta’s new glass works will start in full blast next week. The company has over *50,000 worth of orders already booked. J. T. Phipps killed a rattlesnake about 5 feet long, sporting ton rattles and a but ton, on his place in the Benevolence neigh borhood yesterday week. A professor in the State University says the cause of the trouble with the students is permitting mere children to enter it who do not know how to behave themselves. Prof. Euler B. Smith of the LaGrange Female College, has been invited to deliver the annual address at the commencement of the West Point public schools, on June 23. A dry dock is now receiving the attention of some of the Brunswick citizens and there is every prospect of a stock company being formed with a capital of *30,000 to build it. Fewer fish have been caught this year out of the Oconee river than ever before known. Even the small moke with his pin hook has become disgusted, and pines for the ripening of the blackberry crop. Crewel Woalfolk, one of the students of Mercer University at Macon, who fell from a uonzoutdl bar on whicn he was exercising about ten days ago and hurt himself, died from his injuries Friday. N. B. Shearhouse, a Guyton merchant, recently put up anew sign, and the next night burglars raided him. They naturally thought it a sign of prosperity, and “went in” on business principles. Morgan county protests against the ap poincment of Dr. D. F. Wolf as the repre sentative of that section to the interstate agricultural convention, by Gov. Gordon, p = he is not a representative citizen. One of the biggest jobs done by the La- Grange town authorities within the last twelve months has been the grading of the high hill on Vernon street, near the La grange Female College. It is a great im provement. A rumor says that the “fence men” of Kaiion county are forming an organization if) quite a systematic way, whose object Will be to boycott every mill inan, merchant or politician who voted for “stock law” in tfce recent election. * William Johnson, the negro who stole the watch and money from Mrs. Henly, at Griffin, was arraigned before Judge Cleve land Wednesday and plead guilty to the efcarge. He was sentenced to twelve months it the penitentiary. Among the industrial companies organ ized in Georgia this week are the Amerious Guano Company, with a capital stock of *25,000. and the Hatcher Iron Wagon Com pany, of Macon, capital *700.000. Mr. John M. Green, of Atlanta, was elected President of the Americus company. The name of the post office heretofore known as Silverberg, in Chatham county, has been changed to Burroughs, and the site moved one mile north to the railroad sta tion. Lemuel J. Fanis is postmaster. Quantock, in Scriven county, has been dis continued. Mail goes to Sylvania. N. M. Weaver, Jr., thrashed out his oat and wheat crops, raised on his little farm on the north side of Cutbbert, on Wednesday, and found that the oats had made forty bushels and the wheat twenty bushels j>er acre. And yet there aro people who believe that wheat cannot lx> grown successfully there. The peach cron Is nearly an entire failure in North and Middle Georgia. In Southern and Southwest Georgia there is a prospect of about a half crop. The prospect of an apple crop Is reported about two-thirds of an average; that of the pear about one-third. The prospect for the grape crop is reported 05, or nearly a full crop. It is reported that Jackson county has fine prospects of a cotton and com qrop, and that the no-fence districts have the best crops. That county has adopted the fence law by districts. Mr. Lyle says that while out tills week as soon as he got into a fenife district the ftret thing he saw was a large lot of hogs in a field of wheat. Cuthbert Liberal: Next Monday the vot ers of the town district vote upon tho stock law again. If it is defeated, we suppose they will have it to try again about Jan. 1 next. Three times in fourteen months and “one time every year" can hardly mean tho same thing, ana tne legislators never thought they would be made to do it. Some of the enterprising citizens of Baker and Mitchell are going to form a joint stock company to bulla a river steamer. Maj. R. N. Ely is to saw the lumber right away, and one of the principal movers in the en terprise says that if he is not badly fooled the steamer “Governor Hudspeth” will be ready for business by the opening of the cotton season. The records of the Department of Agri culture show up to tho present time that 106,000 tons of commercial fertilizers have been inspected and aiUnittod to sale in the Btnte, an increase over last year of over 5,000 tons and the hugest amount since tho inauguration of the inspection laws, except the season of 1834-5, when 170,000 toils were Inspected. The LeConte pear trees near Albany suffered from the blow on Tuesday. The small fruit was blown from the trees in groat quailtitier.. The storms of the past two years have greatly diminished the yield of the orchards in (hut vicinity. It is a heavy fruit, and the full, willowy lirnhs are shaken so violently by the strong winds that the fruit is whipped off. On Friday of next week, June 3, the peo ple of Montioollo and Jasper county will give a barbecue on an extensive scale, com plimentary to tho officers of the Covington and Macon railroad, and in honor of the opening of the road to their town. An ex cursion train will lie run over the Coving ton and Macon railroad, and only one faro going and coming will be charged. Messrs. Oartrell and Godson, attorneys, have filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court at Atluntn a petition for divorce made by Mis. Anna Hutchins. In this pe>- tilion she alleges that she was married m Dougherty Hutchins on March 18, 1863. She anil nor husband lived together until May 22, 1887. Hhe avers that her husband treated her with cruelty and abused her in many ways. During the season of 1885-6 there were shipped from Ainericus 31,170 bales of cot ton, and during the season of 1886-7 there were tiupps.! 26.370. on increase of 4,200 bales. This ts a very good showing, and one well calculated to encourage the busi ness men. AVith the extension of the A. P. and L. and the terminus of the Buena Vista road removed to Americus, it can safely count apon 40,000 bales next season. G. \V. Hughes and Thomas 11. AVest, two prisoners who have been confined in Fulton county jail for some time charged with violating the internal revenue laws, were liberated Friday morning. They were unable to give the bond fixed by tne’United States Commissioner when they were arrest ed and did not succeed in making it until next morning, when they were given their liberty till tho time set for their trial. The Quitman Band Is now full organized and under the efficient instruction of Prof. Wallace, is progressing rapidly. It is com posed of the following members: George AV. Avrett, S. A. Remington, Dr. Snow, Wal lace Mathews, Fuller Groover. John Avera, G. M Badger, T. JL Powers, J. M. Young and Charlie Avera. There is good material in this band and the boys promise to give some fine music during the summer. Rev. AVillis Warren (colored) is said to be a tremendous power among his people. He lives in Lee county and is highly esteemed among the whites and blacks. He Ims a charge of about 1,500, and when one of liis members acts wrong he is said to go to the plantation where the offender resides and administer a sound flogging. He often set tles disputes between the neighbors, and it is said that no man exercises more influence in the section where he lives. The Morning News correspondent at Folkston, under date of A lav 27, writes that they' have been having good and frequent rains in that section of South Georgia since May 1, and that the crops in that (Charlton) couuty, also in Camden and AVare counties, were looking very fine. Truck farmers have been shipping beans to Northern markets from Folkston since May 2 and have been realizing very good prices. In one instance an acres of beans netted the grower nearly *2OO. Atfiens Banner-Watchman: We have re ceived from E. K. Lumpkin a basket of the finest strawberries we have seen this season. Some of them are as large as guinea eggs. Mr. Lumpkin raises these berries in his gardeh in this city, cultivating them by the trenching system, which process we pub lished some time since. Thorough prepara tion will tell, in spite of dry weather. Mr. Lumpkin is one of the finest gardeners in Athens, and is successful in everything he undertakes. 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 the LaGrange Reporter, enjoys life: “It 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.” FLORIDA. Figs are ripening. Daytona is said to lie on a boom. Dade City is to have a *15,000 hotel. Enterprise wants additional mail facili ties. ’ Titusville is to have a system of water works. The Baptists of Osteen are building anew church. The river business at Enterprise is im proving. Col. Lysou has bought the Sweet grove at Zellwood. Fort Myers is having very interesting re vival meetings. A Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was recently organized at Longwood. Work is heing pushed ahead on the Con gregational church parsouago at Long wood. The State white normal school has been located at DeFuniak and the colored at Ocala. Travel over the Florida Midland, which runs from Longwood to Gotha, is on the in crease. MaoClenny is getting rather an unenvi able reputation for the "frolics” of some of her humorous young men. There are forty-four prisoners in the Du val county jail awaiting trial. Amongst this number are ten whites. Crops are very fine in the vicinity of Plant City. The peach crop is very heavy and peaches axe selling well at 20c. per dozen. A fire originated in the barber shop of Donkel & Klammers, at Winter Park, on Monday, but was extinguished before any damage was done. The Orlando aud Winter Park railroad has been graded four miles and the greater part of tho ties are in readiness. Tile rails, too, will soon arrive. The City Council of Eustis have passed an ordinance" making it a jienal offense to either kill or take the eggs of any insectivorous bird within the corporate limits. Watermelons can now be hail in abund ance on the streets of Bartow. The price of this luxury, however, still guarantees per fect immunity from the cholera. The Jacksonville and Atlantic railroad will give a free excursion to Pablo to the visiting druggists wt>o will hold a State con vention in Jacksonville on June 8. Petitions arc being circulated in Polk county, and signal by everybody, to pre vent a division of Polk; or, in other words, to build a court house in Lakeland. The charter of the new bank of Pensacola will provide for the Institution to commence 1 nisi lie* with a capital stock of $50,000, with the power to Increase said stock to *250,000. Tho roller skating fever seems to have broken out again in Eustis, and the low rumble of the little wheels can Ik* hoard in some of the vacant second stories around town. A meeting of the citizens of Gainesville was held last night to consider the proposi tion of the Macon and Florida Line railroad to construct a lino of thoir rood to that place. About 100 of the Boston citizens spent last Saturday in a big fishing excur sion. As there was nothing to uo in the court, Judge Mitchell joined the party, and hail considerable sport with tho boys. J. P. Weller, of Hawthorn, has sold his grove just south of town to V. O. Pinck- Eard, of Hamilton county, 0., for *h,ooo. Mr. Weller will leave for Birmingham next tvuek, to bo gone ten da vs or a fortnight.. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 20, 1887—TWELVE PAGES. Parties at Fairbanks aro testing the capa- I bilities of a steam evaporator. Samples of their evaporated plums and strawberries certainly look well. A fair trial will be given blackberries, peaches, pears and vege tables. The Rev. John R. Scott (colored), of Jacksonville, left Friday for Saratoga Springs, N. Y r ., to represent the colored temperance people of Florida in the Right AVorthy Grand Lodge which is in session there now. John Doyle, one of the Jacksonville steve dores, estimates that by the transfer of the lumber and shipping business to Fernandina that Jacksonville loses about *24,000 per month, and says that this is more damaging than “missing tourists.” Two new tables for the use of reporters have been placed in the Mayor’s office at Gainesville. The power of the press is cer tainly prodigious when it will move the city to such an extent. Cushioned chairs and cigars will probably be added soon. At Seneca, by the Rev. Alexander, George AY. Worthington to Mis3 Kate Bramhau. Both the contracting parties ore favorites in Seneca, Miss Bramhall being the school teacher there. A fine supper was given af ter the wedding and the happy couple were serenaded by the Seneca band. Lake Oitvites should lie happy. Peaches are making their appearance, and vegeta bles are plentiful and cheap. Fine strings of trout and bream are daily brought in from the surrounding lakes, while black berries are getting ripe, and the average citizen sees no immediate prospect of starva tion. The Orlando district of the Methodist Episcopal Conference, in session at Orlando last week, embraces three counties, Orange, Sumpter and Hernando. There are nine teen pastoral chargee. The number of dele gates and visitoi-s attending the conference were between 100 and 125. Bishop Joseph Key, of Georgia, presided. In the case of A. A. Palmer vs. the city of Jacksonville, tried in the Circuit Court Thursday, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Palmer, giving him *750 damages. Last December, while Palmer was walking near Hartridge’s stables, he fell on a broken sidewalk and broke his arm, and out of the accident originated the suit. All members of the Democratic Executive Committee, late of Orange and Sumter, now of the county of Lake, are urgently re quested to meet at Y'nlaha on Tuesday, May 31, for the purpose of arranging for calling a convention of the citizens tor the purpose of recommending officers for the county of Lake to be appointed by the Governor. Wednesday night the big Merchants’ and Mechanics’ Building and Loan Association, of Jacksonville, held their monthly meeting and *3,000 was sold. The semi-annual re port was also read and showed most gratify ing results, the accrued value being now *ll per share, having increased from *(5 inside of six months. Since the establishment of this institution *16,000 have been loaned out. The Orange countv Board of Health has recommended the adoption of all possible means of sanitation in all the towns in Orange county, to go immediately into ef fect, and that the city physician of each town in the county be” made an officer of the Board of Health, and be empowered with full authority of the same to enforce any and all sanitary measures which he may think necessary or may be recommended by the board. Lieut. D. D. Gaillard and J. H. Bacon, of the Uuited States Corps of Engineers, are at the Ocean View, St. Augustine, and will commence immediately on a survey of the St. Augustine bar, prepartory to im proving the bar by means of jetties. The steamer Three Links has been chartered for their use. This will be an event of the utmost importance to St. Augustine and will have a great effect upon her commer cial interests. , C. F. Lane, of Lake Worth, passed through Jacksonville yesterday morning for his New York home. He say* Superinten dent Hneden, of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key AVest railroad, and Engineer Knight have just returned from a trip to tho lake, and that a railroad of seven miles will be built from the head of Lake AVorfch to Jupiter. The cause for this roadway is to put to an early market about 13,000 crates of tomatoes; 1,009 barrels of miscellaneous vegetables; 300 tons of general freight and 220,000 feet of lumber dui ing the next sea son. The road will be completed Doc 1. The Circuit Court at Bartow now in ses sion has been engaged most of the week in the trial of S. T. Fletcher, charged with shooting AValter Wilson, and wounding Irving Wilson, at Auburndale, on the eve ning of Jan. 8 last. The State was represented by J. L. Dunlap, acting State’s Attorney for this case, assisted by Messrs. Hanson and Sessions. The defendant was represented hv Messrs. Sparkman, AVall and Turman, of Tampa; Judge Marshon of Or lando; D. T. Fletcher, of Jacksonville, and Brady and Clark, of Bartow. The case was given to the jurv AYednesday evening, and after being out fifteen minutes they returned a verdict of not guilty, thus sustaining the claim of the defendant that the killing was in self-defense. Miss Q, Hampton, of Rochelle, werit to AVindsor Saturday, to visit friends. She started home in the evening accompanied by Charles AValke. When they got within a short distance of Capt. AV. D. Dickinson’s the horse got frightened and tried to run 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. Tho committee appointed by O. M. Mitchell Post No. 4, G. A. R, at Jackson ville, two weeks ago to make suitable arrangements for the proper celebration of- Decoration day, have got the details of the work well under way, anil all tile military, volunteer, fire department, civic bodies, together with R. E. Lee Camp, C. A’., have accepted the invitation to attend. About forty little girls have boen selected to assist in the sorviees at the cemetery. Two speakers have been provided, ns well as appropriate music, and from present ap|>ear ances the occasion will bo grander than any which have preceded it. Rev. H. D. Fame will toko charge of the financial part, und it is expected that his pfforts in this direction will meet with the same success as hereto fore. A cordial invitation is extended to members of the press and tho clergymen of that city, lor whom carriages will' be pro vided. Asa large quantity of flowers will be needed, it, is suggested that those having flowers to spare will preserve them as far ns possible for use when the day arrives. All ex-Confederate and ex-. Federal sokliera, and the citizens generally, are earnestly invited to join in the procession. Grand Army men visiting the city are cordially invited to turn out with tlic pod. It law lieen sug gested that the merchants and business men generally close up on the afternoon of Mav 80, so that all who may wish to participate can do so.
