The Southern Female College, at La- Grange, Ga., has just closed a prosperous session. The commencement exercises began Thursday night with a very brilliant exhi bition by the primary department before a large and appreciative audience.

Ryals, professor of theology of Mercer University, preached the commencement sermon, on Sunday, June 12. Parker, Peacock & Cos., of Ha wkinsville, have established a barrel factory there.

This is done by pouring hot glue, of thin consist ency, into the barrel, and if any should ex ude and thereby discover a leak the barrel is at once rejected and returned to the cooper. Superior Court convened at Baxley Satur day, Judge Adams, of Savannah, presiding. The main thing that was done was the re sentencing of Dock Herndon, the youug man who was convicted at Baxley about two years ago of the murder of a negro aliout ten years previously. Herndon’s friends are making a strong effort for his pardon. .Among other grounds the friends of Hern don have for asking for executive clemency is Herndon’s bad health.

Harmony Grove on June 8, found as their verdict that Mrs. Cornelia Garrecht, gave birth to the child, which died of neglect and was concealed by her, and that P. G. .Shepherd, of Harmony Grove, and Dr. W. Tucker, of Atlanta, were accessories. Dr. Tucker denied any treatment of the woman to produce abor tion, though she had consulted him in At lanta, ami one juryman refused to concur in the verdict implicating him. Last Thursday afternoon Misses Lelia Hendry and Emma Keller were taking an afternoon walk on the railroad at Black shear, and when reaching the cut, half a mile distent, an alligator jumped down the embankment near them. They screamed and ran up the bank. One watched his ’gatorship while the other went to Mr. Wil son’s to get him to shoot it. Mr. Wilson dispatched the Florida curiosity, and he measured five and a half feet. They tied a rope around its neck and caused it to be brought to Blackshear to substantiate their story. Friday night last John Royal, who lives about eleven miles from Abbeville, was aroused about midnight by his dog baying something in his yard. He went out in his night clothes to see what was the matter, and to his great surpriswbo found a large alligator. lie took a fence rail and beat it for some time, and finally it sulked and lay still. He then took his ax and killed it. The alligator measured ten feet und four inches. In getting into the yard the alligator climbed a fence ten rails high. Mr. Royal lives near his mill pond, and he supposes "the alligator was making for the pona. On Sunday evening next the Macon aux iliary of the American Bible Society will lie held at the Second Baptist church there. This society is an undenominational organi zation and does a vast, amount of charitable work in the distribution of the Scriptures. The other city churches of Macon, it is ex pected, will close on the occasion an allow their congregations to unite in the service, iq accordance with the usual custom. Last year the address was made by Rev. Mr. Wingate. This year brief addresses will be made by Dr. Warren, Rev. H. P. Myres, (the Georgia agent of the society), and a layman. On Wednesday last a negro named Green Frich, living oh Mr. A. Hardison's place, near Taylor, was struck by lightning and in stantly killed. He was hoeing cotton at the time, und fearing some danger from the ap proaching cloud, had just remarked to his companion that jterhaps they had better go to the house. But ho was told to complete the row on which he was at work, as it was but a short distance to the house, and that they could then get there before it lagan to rain. He hail gone only about fifteen feet after saying this before he fell to the ground as if hit by a bullet. His left shoulder was badly crushed, und the inner side of his left leg was slightly scorched. A lot of wool wax brought into Albany Friday that weighed 780 pounds. It was the flip of 225 sheep and was worth *20,850. The cost of lex-ping a lloclc of shoop is not h ing: they earn their own living by picking piny-wdixls jiustium The natural increase is about 88 per cent.. from which an addi tional revenue can he derived after setting apart a number sufficient to insure a steady increase in tin- flock. J. W. Walters keeps a floek of 100 sheep on his plantation, near Albany, from which ho has all the mutton his family want*, and (dips a nice lot of wool every spring. These sheep have the run of his pastures, und thrive. That sec tion is peculiarly adapted to successful sheep raising. 'J'. J, Clements lives near Athens. Friday night one of his daughter- raised up a sack in her room and under, it found a large snake. She-lid nob sertxitn and run away, hut, like tin' hr.ive mid sensible girl that she is, took u stick and killed the reptile. That night her little brother woke his imrenfx up with the information that ho ha I caught the mote of the snake his sitter had killed, and then had it by the head in his hand A light was struck, when it wax found that the little fellow hod fir ml) grasped by tin neck a i kitten that had crawled on his lied, and in tlie (larkuext |io took it for a snake. The kitten wns choked to death. The child cer tainly showed grout presence of mind and courage to thus noli what he thought to be a snake. It Ht>)>eiiex from a late unpublished circu lar, sent out by School Commissioner Orr, that in IhN) thevo were in Georgia 12x,000 white anil 822,000 colored people over 10 | years of age. making a third of the total ' population Y/lto could not write their names. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1887. Gf Mlo,ooo children in the public schools of the State in 1885, 28-1,000 had ouly three months schooling in tho year. Tho circular states that there has never been a dollar raised in Georgia by property taxation for the support ot country wheels. Poll tax, liquor, sliows, con victs, bisection fertilizers and Western and Atlantic railroad rental furnish tho revenue. Jt is stated that the proposed assessment of 1-10 of 1 per cent, on the taxable projvaty in the State would adil $800,425 to the present, school fund, aud with that increase the school could be run absolutely free to nil for four months yearly. FLORIDA. Palatka is going to build a drive way. It is proposed that a teachers’ institute bo held at Bronson, beginning on Monday, Aug. 1. The liceeburg Commercial has declared their railroad war off, having won the passes. _R. H. P. Drought, of Kissimmee, started Tuesday for a two or three months visit to his old "home in England. There's a gang of Georgia bachelors in Boston who nave quarantined against all femininity for the summer. Over 200 laborers on the Ponce DeLeon, St. Augustine, have left thecity, frightened off by the yellow fever rumors. At a special meeting of the Kissimmee City Council, held Saturday morning, Mr. J. Getchell was electtsl city attorney. Two of Leesburg’s citizens had an argil ment on Main street. Muuday which resulted in a “rough and tumble.” Tho timely ar rival of the Marshal put. an end to the exercise. Maj. O. P. Rooks has sold forty acres of land at, Lake Lenora, Fruitland Park, to Samuel H. Doten, a wealthy resident of Portland, Me. The property will be hand somely improved. Sanford is thinking of giving up her Fourth of July celebration ori account of the disturbed public feeling just now, and because it would hardly be’ safe to have such a large crowd together. There is to be a large barbecue and meet ing in Leesburg on June 24 for the purpose of discussing t he building of a railroad from Leesburg around the south side of Lake Harris to connect with the T. A. & G. Ry. The crop of LeConte pears will be much larger this year than ever raised before in Levy county. Col. Sebring and F. A. Ar nold" are the largest growers at present, but a lai-n number of groves are coming on, and thawear is destined to be one or the fruits of that section. * P. O. Sneller, living in the eastern part of Levy county, has realized to date s4b 09 on three-sixteenths of an acre of cabbages. He has converted that much of the crop into cash, besides a large family have used cab bage from the tract since December, and there are a goodly number of heads yet to be disposed of. Leesburg merchants have decided to run a free excursion everv Thursday from Moss Bluff, Starke, Emeralda and Sligh to Lees burg and return. These excursions will be a great convenience to the people living at the above named places, mid give some idea of the activity and onterjffise of the Lees burg merchants. The Board of Health at Femandina made Bryceville a quarantine station, with Rev. J. S. Herbert as inspector. The north-bound train, at 2 o’clock, is compelled to stop every day and undergo an examination of its pas sengers, baggage, etc. There is a disposi tion on the part of many of the people there to kick against this. Maj. St. Clair Abrams says that he can complete arrangements to finish his road at once, aud that his corps of sui-vejws will be in Kissimmee to permanently locate the line on next Mtiodav. The graders will fol low as soon as the surveyors get out of the way, and the work will be pushed from botli ends of the line. At the Democratic Executive Committee misting for Sumter county, held at, Sumter - ville last Monday, the following gentlemen were recommended to Jill vacancies in county offices: A. S. Harvey, of Adams ville, for Collector; E. H. Retinoids, of Wildwood, County Surveyor; Torn Chap man, of Bamboo, for Sheriff. The case of Will Wallace Harney vs. estate of W. A. Patrick, for services ren dered and material furnished for the publi cation of the Hitter Sux’tt in Kissimmee from some time in 1883 to February, 1885, was tried at Orlando last week. The jury brought in a verdict for the defense, as the plaintiff failed to prove his account. S. Bachman, of Bronson, is “smiling” over a small onion that measures Hi 3 4 inches in circumference and weighs 28 ounces. This is the largest of the season so far re corded in Levy county, and shows what can be produced in Florida sand. Mr. Bachman also has a fine lot of Irish potatoes that can only bo duplicated by some other live farmer in Levy county. Rev. J. P. DePass, the pioneer peach qul turist of Archer, after nearly twenty years of assiduous attention and labor in propa gating the old and introducing the new va rieties, has at last succeeded in producing the Peen-to of mummoth proportions and, best of all, in eliminating the bitter princi ple so that the most delicate taste of the sen sitive epicure can find no objection to this luscious fruit. The Leesburg brass band,which disbanded a sMbrt time sinoe by mutual agi-eement of its members, suc-h agreement being occa sioned by the non-support of some of the citizens sutisoribiiig to pay a monthly allow ance for its maintenance, was Friday eve ning reorganized through tin* active efforts of Mr. G. A. Schneider, who called a meet ing of “the boys” to which they responded with their usual alacrity. A day or two ngo a negro at work on Capt. Adams' grove, across the river from Palatka, discovered und killed an immense rattlesnake. He was all coiled up and ready to strike when the negro saw him lying only two feet from where lie was standing. It was but the work of an instant to dispatch the snake with a hoe, which the man was working with. The snake was cut into sev eral pieces, and when examined he was found k> have twenty-four rattles on his tail, which unluckily were cut in two by the hoe. Saturday forenoon quite a lively cyclone struck Orlando, and for fifteen minutes tho air was filled with heavy clouds of dust, which drove everyone inside and forced the business houses to close their doors. The storm seemed heaviest in the eastern por tion of the city and near Lakes Bola and Lucerne it was nearly impossible for pedes trians to remain on their feet. The travel ing photographer, who had pitched his tent on the comer of Main and Pine streets, was the worst sufferer,as his canvas residence was torn into shreds and his ap|>aratus scattered. The American flag, however,continues to wave from the staff mi which it had been placed at the entrance to the tent, and lie will probably resume business in a few days. A refreshing rain followed, which effect ually laid the dust and cooled the heated air. _ W. H. Perry, of tho firm of Perry Bros. & Taylor, of Lake City, consummated lust week the purchase of the business ami outfit of the cigar manufactory of F. A. Gonzalez, of Jacksonville, which is now being removed to that place, where it will bo continued by Mr. Perry and associates, under the firm name of Perry A Go. The factory will be designated by an appropriate title of its own, not yet decided upon, which' will distinguish all tho goods put out by it. F. A. Gonzalez, a Cuban, and a thoroughly practical tobacco packer and cigar maker, has been secured as fore man of the establishment, which will open with five men at the bench. This, with Mr. Gonialez and the four workmen at Geer’s factory, will make ten men at work in the city. They will work pure Florida goods, and have tobacco on hand for several months, or to last until the new crop is ready for them. Quito a little racket was created at Craw ford, a discontinued jamt office on the line of the Florida Kuilwat and Navigation Com- IMiny. lust. Thursday night, June 2. At this point a small wood and merchandise busi ness is conducted by Mr. B. J. Carroll, and iu tho evening suvergl young uio.i of llto community had collected at tho store, and it seems bad indulged too freely in tho ardent olixir, which caused a dispute to arise between them and the proprietor. As the excitement grew warmer, Mr. Carroll took refuge in bis house with his family, when the young men com menced the task of tearing down houses. The first house attacked was a small build ing, probably Bxlo feet, formerly used for a post office, which they easily turned over. The noxt was the storehouse, but before they had done any damage to this, friends inter ceded and they were persuuded to leave their unlawful sport. Saturday morning they •core arrested by Callahan’s big marshal, Mr. James Curroll, aud taken before Justice Googo and caused to sing to the tune of SO4 fine, which they unhesitatingly paid, thus paying the penalty of their’ indiscretion. They returned home, probably sadder if not wiser men. Among the cities of Florida to which a new charter of incorporation was granted at tho recent session of the Legislature is Palatka The bill, as first introduced in the Senate, contained thirty or more sections, and proposed to take into the city limits some suburban territory, and make other material and radical changes in the govern ment of that flourishing city. This bill of incorporation passed the Senate with a few slight amendments, aud was certified to the House, where it was amended by substi tuting eight new sections for the entire bill. This the Senate concurred in, and the bill with amendments sent to the en rolling clerk, who by mistake put in the eight new sections in lieu of the cor responding first eight sections of the original bill and then added all the succeeded sec tions of the original bill, having misread the language of the amendment which pro posed the eight sections in lieu of “all the sections of the bill,” under the impression that the new sections were to take the place of corresponding ones in the bill as first in troduced. In the great hurry and confusion attendant on the last days of the session the mistake was not noticed, and the bill in this shape, totally inconsistent in its provisions, was signed by the legislative officers and by the Governor, although sections of it have never been passed. Just what will be the outcome of this blunder no one knows, and should any question arise it would of course have to be settled in tho courts. The proper thing for the citizens of Pa latka to do, however, is to be guided en tirely anil only by the first eight sections of the new charter law, as they really contain all the law regularly enacted, and if no at tempt is made to use the sections that have not Dcen enacted, but yet by mistake incor porated in the bill, no "question would prob ably arise, and the surplusage would remain harmless until the next Legislature could remedy the blunder. SWALLOWED BY NIGHT. The Danger of Drinking Water Which Has Not Been Carefully Inspected. FYom the Chicago Kews. By one of those singular coincidences which befall ever and anon for the edifica tion of humanity Mr. Waterloo, Mr. Lederer, and Col. Sullivan w-ere assigned to the same room at the Mammoth Cave hotel last week. The fact that three newspaper men were put into one room was not par ticularly surprising, but it did, seem re markable that tho hotel clerk should pick out as chums the very three members of the excursion party who were afflicted with ocular disturbances. Col. Sullivan has an impaired vision, and Mr. Waterloo and Air. Lederer happen to possess but two eyes be tween them. About 9 o’clock last Saturday night Col. Sullivan began to yawn and to feel uncom mon sleepy. It was his hour for retiring; all well-regulated evening newspaper men go to bed at 9 o'clock or thereabout. So Col. Sullivan poked off up-stars, robed him self in his elegantly frilled nightshirt, said his prayers, and tumbled into his rot. In less than ten minutes a regular succession of stentorian liarmouies in B flat and two-four time bespoke the profundity of the colonel's slumbers. Mr. Waterloo and Mr. Lederer did not put in on amiearance until a much later hour— we will not specify the hour, far be it from us to bear witness against fellow-journalists whom we esteem and admire. Suffice it to say that when they did seek their beds they were sore aweary: they needed repose and needed it badly. And when Morpheus once brooded over "that chamber you might have thought that a,steam calliope had beeu set a-going therein. About 3 o’clock in the morning, however, Messrs. Waterloo and Lederer ware aroused from deep slumbers by a dolorous howling and by the staccato patter of bare feet upon the chamber floor. They sat up in then beds and glared wildlike about them. • Col. Sullivan was prancing up and down the floor and ho was wailing like a bereaved woman. “I’ve swallowed two cockroaches,” cried Col. SullivAi, “I felt them go down my throat! Oh, oh, oh!” “Come, now,” said Air Loderer, sooth ingly, “you must be mistaken, old fellow; you’ve been dreaming.” “No, I haven’t been dreaming,” insisted Col. Sullivan. “I woke up and drank that glass of water on the table, and I felt the two cockroaches go down my throat—l can feel ’em now-. On!” Mr. Lederer comprehended the situation in a moment. Mr. Lederer is too soft hearted a man to keep a friend in sus pense, “Those weren't cockroaches,” said Mr. Lederer; “those were glass eyes—Waterloo’s and mine. We put em in that glass of water before we went to bed.” And then, in an outburst of magnanimity inspired bv Col. Sullivan’s intensified groaning, Air. Lederer added: “You needn't ntiud it, old boy, for we’ve got duplicates in our valt jes.” This hapiiened a week ago, and ever since then a clinking sound (as of two glass bodies coming together) has accompanied Col. Sullivan wherever he w-ent. Dr. Kicrnan says that glass eyes are not digestible; the inference is that these bogus orbs will remain in Col. Sullivan's system through all futurity. “Ark we making progress?" an exchange anxiously inquires. If we are not, what do l,Hor> pounds to the ton of coal and four inches of froth to the glass of lager beer mean? Progress —making progress? What is the bottom doing in the middle of the stniv. berry box if we are not? —Ronton Courier. GROW VS IRON BITTERS. A QUEST/OjV ABOUT Browns Iron Bitters ANSWERED.
