The tax returns of insurance companies doing business in Georgia, show that the past year has beeu a good one.

The Georgia Midlaud will not reach Griffin until June 25 at the earliest. Trains will probably not lie running until July 1 in stead of June 10 or 12, as was expected. The delay is caused by tho fact that a gang of convicts between Griffin and McDonough has beeu transferred to the Atlanta and Ha w kinsville railroad, instead of being rut to track laying lietweeii Concord and Griffin. Track laying has reached Concord and is stopped until that portion of the road be tween Woodbury and Concord is ballasted. Track laying will not commence again until June 6, when it will te continued to Griffin, and it will take about eighteen days to reach that point.

Covington Star: By act ual count on Tues day last there were eighty-eight east's of measles in Hayes district, and they were still spreading. The disease is getting to be quite serious in that district, and will cause much damage to the growing crops, as the labor is badly broken up in nearly 'every neighborhood iu consequence. The measles have spread all over the county, but whether there are as many cases iu the other districts as there are in Hayes we do not know. They all originated from the meeting of the Newton County Sunday School Association, as the genii of the disease was sown broad cast over the county from that meeting, someone being there with the measles upou them. George Rouls, a fireman on East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia switch engine, met with an unfortunate accident at about noon, at Atlanta, Tuesday, which will leave him a cripple for life.

As he did this his foot slipped and he fell to the ground, his feet resting upou the track. The wheels of the engine passed over them, almost entirely severing them from his legs. The engine was stopped at once, and the en gineer ran back to tne assistance of Route who was found to be unconscious. He was taken at once to the Ivy Street Hospital where Dr. Nicolson amputated the right foot and three-quarters of the left one. Rouls is a single mail, about 28 years of age, and is not supposed to have aiiy relations in that city. Dock Gay, of Fayette county, bad a col ored boy, about 16, employed as n laborer on his farm, and a day or two ago issued him rations sufllcient for two weeks.

Mr. Gay stooped down and was in the act of picking up a rock when tho negro ran up and, stick ing his knife in his neck, drew it around to alsmt the centre of the throat, making a fearful gash, from which the blood flowed freely. While tho wound is considered very dangerous, and may prove fatal, had the knife gone the fraction of an inch deeper it would have resulted in instant death. Mr. Guv is one of the most prominent farmers in Fayette county, and his death would be much regretted The liegro fled soon after doiug tho cutting and at last accounts had not been arrested. On last Saturday there was a prohibition picnic given tit Goshen, in Oconee county, and among tho many participants was a Mrs. Mayne and two sons, who lived near Farmington, in the same county.

The Palatka Board of Trade has inserted advertisements in a large number of Eastern and Western papers, inviting correspondence from all parties interested in Forida, or who desire to go there. A great many Tetters of inquiry nave already come in, which are answered in every instant by the officers of the board. The letters received show that there is a widespread interest taken in Florida, and that jieople iii all parts of the country are preparing to go there and be come permanent residents. • There Is room for all, and the Board of Trade is doing a good work in showing up the advantages of that part of the State to the intending Settlers. Lake City Reporter: One of our most re liable farmers, Mr. W. T. Stansel, of Little river, Florida, mentioned a system of de stroying moles which we think is worthy of favorable consideration by fanners gener ally. It is well known that moles are among the most exasperating of all the farmer's enemies. Mr. Stansel's plan is to erect a trap somewhat like a “dead fail,” a solid piece of timber about a foot square, sus pended over the underground roads of the mole. A trigger rests on the ground in such a way that when the earth is stirred the boa it! falls. Bits of wire, 6 inches long, are inserted about half an inch apart over the board anil sharpened so as to pierce the mole. He informs us that he has killed a great number with tliis simple arrange ment. Manatee Ad ranee-. An account comes to us from Sara Sota Bay, that a fellow calling himself William Atchison, alias Bill Smith, n native of Key West, who has been living at Mclllvaine’s fishing camp, attempted the abduction of Miss Kate Spang, daughter of John Spang, Wednesday, May 25. Atchi son, by- threata to kill and acts of violence, compelled Miss Katie, a young lady of lit or 30 years of age, to accompany him several miles to a neighbor’s, Mis. Gen. Riggin, where he had the Rev. I. A. Redd, a Baptist minister, in waiting to perform the marriage ceremony. Upon their arrival at the house the young lady informed Mrs. Riggin and the minister that she had promised to marry Atchison, being afraid he would kill her. She claimed their protection, which was at once given. The young lady was sent borne, where she arrived safely, and the father and brother have been all through the country lookiug for the fellow. Palatka Herald: Dr. R. C. Flower sounded the key note to Palatka’s future prosperity when he proposed to the Board of Trade to give $lO <IOO toward building up a high school in Palatka, provided the citizens i>aoked the offer with a respectable subscription for that purpose. What has been done in the mat ter is a question which all would like to know. Perhaps it may bo thought by our Board of Trade that this educational business is of sec ondary importance, and that it may Vie put off until some con venient reason. If so, thsre never was a more blind mistake. Every right, thinking man knows that the want of a respectable high school in this place has kept out a large and influential class of peo ple that could not lx- induced to buy prop erty here and settle down with no prospect of educating their children. It is an incon trovertible fact that hundreds of men of families have gone to other places and set tled, giving Palatka the go-by, just because they saw no prospect for the schooling of their children.
