Blulfton Spring: J. H. Haisten is one of our most energetic and successful young farmers. He 1 nought to this office yester day a stalk of cotton —a sample of a thirty five acre field—which is forty inches high and three blooms nud thirty-six (up.ares. He says while the whole patch is not as good as this sample, a third of it is, and all of it w ill average thirty-five inches high. What’s the use of buying an incubator when there are such hens as this one. A lady iu Watkiusvillo hail a hen that wanted to Net, and on Sunday last the lady gave her a nest and placed under her fourteen eggs, and on \\ ednesday the hen hatched the full fourteen eggs, setting only three days. “Now this may cem unreasonable, but it is a sure fact.,” stoutly and placidly remarks the Oconee Enterprise. There was a full attendance at the meet ing of the Atlanta Rifles at their armory Monday night, and several new members were elected. The proposition to go into an encampment, was discussed and agreed upon, and either Cumberland Island or Morehead City will be selected. Two lieutenants will be elected at the next meeting, and hereafter regular drills will be held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. Monday night witnessed such a scene at the Methodist church as was never known before in Madison. For six weeks Rev. J. 8. Bryan, assisted by Revs. Gilwon, of Eatonton, and Conway, of Greensboro, have been carrying on a protracted meeting at the Methodist, Episcopal church, and the whole city has been revived. Monday night there was not standing room, and some had fpj leave. Thirty members were received, Unapt of them by baptism.

The sentence was couched in such beautiful mil tender language that many of the audience shed teans. The adjourned term of Clayton Superior Court, which was called by Judge Clark for the second Monday in June, at Joneslmro. adjourned Monday at noon. The prime cause of the adjourned term was to try the criminal business, principally the eases for violation of prohibition laws. Owing to sickness in the family of Judge John D. Stewart, the leading counsel iu the cases, ho was granted a leave of absence. Conse quently the court, adjourned in a few hours. It is a strange fact, but true, that the property of the State was increased in value by the action of the earthquake. Those who have observed the action at Indian Spring , say that the flow of water has undergone a marked increase since the earthquake last summer. The general esti mate is Ht. least one-third increase in volume. Many claim that, the strength of the mineral has decreased with the increase in the flow, but this is not settled. The cold spell has driven off a good many of the pleasure seekers. Last Thursday morning between East Point and the farm of Capt. Conley’s, the Captain's dogs scared up three minks. While the dogs were in pursuit of two of them, the other ran out into the road and confronted ('apt, Conley, and seemed anxious to tackle him. Capt. Conley says he was at a loss to understand the little warlike creature, who soon scampered back into the dense woods. The dogs caught the two were after. The poultry raisers in x\o vicinity will doubtless be glad to learn that two of these ti'ouhlesome little varmints are out of the wav. The town authorities of Ellvrton are waging an unrelenting war on dogs. A few cases of hydrophobia has aroused them to a sense of danger during the heated sea son. The rule adopted is for the Marshal to notify all owners of dogs that have pur chased collars to keep their dogs confined on certain nights, as on these nights he will kill all dogs found on the streets. He then arms his deputies with Winchester rifles or doublo-lwirrelled shotguns, and a lively fu Rilade is kept tip during the night, and next morning ten or a dozen dead dogs may be found lying about in different parts of the town. It is a lather harsh hut sure remedy to prevent the spread of hydrophobia. Marshailville Times: The election held on Wednesday upon the question of bridging the Flint river, was one of the most quiet we have, seen for some time. Only seventy five votes were polled, all of which read “no bonds.” Not a man thought the build ing of a bridge necessary, and so expressed himself. The polls were not opened in Montezuma, we tire informed, as the people there have concluded that they did not want a bridge, it was all a mistaken notion, etc. In all probability Oglethorpe and Marshallville were the onlv places at, which the polls were opened, and it requires no prophet to say the result was emphatically against the bridge, which settles tho ques tion we hope effectually. Tho Rome Land Company has proposed to the people of East Home and property owners concerned beyond East Rome, for a consideration of $13,000 donation, to build a dummy line from the Howard street bridge in East Rome out on the Ccdai town road lieyond the residence now Occupied by the Misses Jones, making a line between three and four miles in length, the road to bo built by Nov. 1 next, and operated for three years. Tuesday morning u large number of those to whom this proimsition was addressed met and promptly decided to accept the proposition, and appointed active commit toes to proceed to secure tho contribution. It is said that dirt will be broken oil tho work in the next twenty days. News reached Lexington Monday morn ing that a murder had taken place iii Madi son county. Andrew Arnold (colored), who lives in Lexington, and is noted for his trifling manner of living, being an adopt in the art of stealing, soqie time ago gave a revenue officer the whereabouts of nit illicit distillery run in Ma lison county. The parties implicated swore vengeance ou*\t: drew if they ever saw hint again. No lie made a tour over there to get whisky, which he procur'd at a barroom just over the ermnty line, and was on his way home when he was suddenly met in the road by some parties, auil was halted, and threshed severely until he showed light. Then he was struck on the head with an ax, and shot one or more times until dead. Nothing more has been heard about it, as everything is kept quiet. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JUNE Hi, 1887. Over 300 crates of fruit were shipped from Marshallville Monday, and over 500 crates the day following. They went to New York, principally, yet included many inter mediate points. The week’s shipment will possibly exceed 1,700 orates. So far very satisfactory returns are made. When the main crop of peaches—those that ripen in July ami August— liegin to come in things will hi' lively around the express office about train time. ‘ It is estimated that fully 500 crates pier day will be shipped during these months. These immense shipments, in ad dition to an evaporating establishment con suming from 500 to MM bushels pier day, will give some idea of the peach interest in that vicinity. In addition Louis A. Rumjih will gather "fully 10,000 bushels of line apples from a single orchard. These, however, will be stored for the winter trade. The young men from Elberton, who make summer trips to the mountains, seem to be rather unfortunate. Last year a party of young men left there and lost their road in the mountains, and were mistaken by the mountaineers for revenue raiders and were compielled to jiload humbly at the muzzle of guns to be allowed to pass. About ten days ago I). H. Brown, W. T. Arnold and Alex. McCurry left .Elberton for a mountain trip). They are three of Eibcrton’s most moral and popular young men, and pierhapis, all engaged to be married. On last Saturday Judge Almond, the Ordinary, received a letter from Rabun county asking for infor mation ulmut the young gentlemen. The letter was immediately replied to, indorsing them very strongly. Their many friends at home feel some solicitude about them, but hopie that no serious misfortune has liefallen them. Isn’t it about time for the State gov ernment to interfere, if a citizen cannot travel from one county to another? The following are some of the main points <lf the Piedmont Exposition which opens at Atlanta Oct. 10 and holds two weeks. The premium list covers $20,000. There is ulso $ i 0,000 in racing pur.-es, and 200 of the finest racers in the country will be there. There is $3,500 in military prizes. There will he an encampment and a grand review by the President. The pyrotechnic dis play is guaranteed to lie the finest ever seen in America, excepit at the opening at the Brooklyn bridge, and will cost $9,009 for the three nights. One of the features will be Niagara Falls in fireworks. A living wall of light, GO feet high and 150 feet long. Atlanta spiends (150,000 on grounds and buildings. Every day will be full of spxirt and amusement. The railroads will give re duced rates—certainly round trip tickets, and pierhapis lc. a mile. Arrangements for reaching the grounds are perfect, both the railroads and the street cars running into the grounds. The exposition will undoubt edly lie the higgest show ever held in the South, and will make an exhibit of the riches of the Piedmont region never before equaled. Col. M. K. Light, commanding the South ern division of the Salvation Army, stated to an Atlanta Journal reporter Tuesday morning the following: “Owing to the re markable progress of our work in the South, we are confronted with the necessity of the early establishment of Southern head quarters and a training school for officers in connection therewith. After carefully con sidering the matter, we have concluded to locate them in Atlanta as the point best adapted for the purpose, anil we are about to ask n subscription of SI,OOO to accom plish it by July 1 next. We expect to have twelve new officers trained by Sept. 1 to take charge of six new stations in commu nities where the prepile are urging us to establish them.” “How many stat ions have you now in the South i" “Thirteen, 1 believe. The first was located at Chatta nooga, about a year ago. Since Capt. Brucker first, came to Atlanta, Jan. 19 last, they have been established at the following places: Charlotte. N. C.: Atlanta and the Exposition Mills; Columbia, S. C.; Augusta, Macon, Savannah, Columbus and Athens, Ga.; Nashville, Knoxville and Bristol, Term. We could locate twenty more imme diately if we had the officers, and we pro pose to have them very soon after the establishment of the Training Home in At lanta.” FLORIDA. Palatka’s garbage is being burned on the outskirts of the town. Waldo is shippiing an unusually large yield of LeConte years, poaches and grapes. Tompkinsville will make an effort to se cure the new court house for Citrus county and the jail. 'The Eustis 1.n1.r Region alleges that the delinquent tax list as published is from three to four times larger than the facts would justify. The building of the Jacksonville, Manatee and Gulf railroad seems to lie a fact of the near future. Plant City and Palma Sola will then be but two Hours apart. James C. Croft, of Macon, lias already shipped 100 crates of tomatoes from less Allan one-half acre of land at an average profit,, clear of freight, of about 75c. per crate. A rigid quarantine is now in force at Palma Sola, at the mouth of the Manatee river. Rumors of boats having landed with refugees from Key West keep the inspect ing officers on the watch. The mills of W. H. Warner, of Palma Sola, have shut down for the summer mouths—June, July and August. No vege table crates to make and no sale for lumber during the rainy season makes dull times for the mill owners. The Palatka post office has just received an immense '>,oK>pound safe, which was put in the office Monday afternoon. It, will lie used for the safe keeping of registered pack ages, stamps and other post office valuables, and is both fire and burglar proof. Tho Lakeland Brass and String Band is the latest organization, ami as it has been started by young men of push and ] >erso veranee, ari.l withal musical talent, must be a success. The instruments have been or dered, and regular meetings will soon be held for practice. The Supreme Court met at Tallahassee, at noon Tuesday, with all the Judges on the bench and full attendance of attorneys from different portions of the State. Gov. parry had not accepted Chief Justice McWhorter's resignation, and he occupied his seat on the Supremo liench as usual. An ice factory is soon to tv built at Palma Sola for the accommodation of the fishing trade, and incidentally the profit of the owners. The hundreds of tons of fish that were shipped from there via Tampa last Rea son on Tam pa ice will be cooled in the ice factory and packed there. The School Board of Dural county held its regular meeting at the superintendent's office at Jacksom ilk* Tuesday. Action was taken upon the report of' the Board of Healt h and orders issued to have all school houses and premises which laid been the sub ject of complaint thoroughly cleansed and repaired at once. The heavy shipments of tomatoes, squash, beans and watermelons that for the past two months have made business lively at l’alnvt Nola have stopped, owing to the decrease in prill's in the Northern markets. Homelhing over Mil,OK) crates of early vege tables were forwarded during April and May. The reason has ln.*en an unusually profitable one to the producers, S3OO per acre having been, tho host yield of several small farms. It is doubtful whether there is another town of the size of Ht Augustine in the United States which contains so many dogs. The most of these are worthless curs without homes, but who go sneaking about seeking wlmt they can devour. If any one has n valuable ’dog that, he cares for and wishes to keep The I Ve.s.s suggests that the city re mu re him to procure a regular license there for. This would largely in'Twoe the reve nue of t,iie city and the superfluous worthless dogs could begotten rid of. Messrs. Francis <V I/mg hnvo liegtni n piece of work which will lie a great benefit to Interlachen. About one mile east of the town <s a huge pile of sawdust, containing, thousands of cords. Messrs. Francis A long are having this sawdust teamed to town and spread upon the public roads. They have began with the sawdust at their livery stable on Rrtwper street, and intend to oontine it to and past their residence.' and down into Pleasant Valley, a distance of about two miles. The leading merchants of Interlachen have all “chipped in” to aid the enterprise. At a meeting of the Perry Guards (col ored), of Jacksonville, Monday evening, u reorganization under the new State militia law was effected with thirty-four members, and the following officers were elected, the proper papers being forwarded to Gov. Perry for approval: Captain, Will is Wil liams; First Lieutenant, J. H. Bunhatu; Second Lieutenant, W. Lowrie; First Ser geant, Charles Bundy; Second Sergeant. Charles Arnau; Third Sergeant, Daniel Me Furr is; Fourth Sergeant, C. Floyd; Fifth Sergeant, David Jones: First Corporal, J. H. Williams; Second Corporal, A. Long worth: Third Corporal, R. J. Williams; Fourth Corporal 8. Small. General Manager Haines, of the Plant system, was in Tampa Tuesday and said the company proposed recalling the bid for carrying the mail from Tampa to Havana via "Key West unless the present quaran tine is modified. The present contract ex pires July 1. Unless anew one is made the steamers will withdraw for the summer. Work is temporarily suspended on the deep water extension of the South Florida rail road pending the action of the steamship line. A meeting of the Board of Trade had a conference with Mr. Haines as to the best method for adoption. The telephone line to the quarantine camp is completed. The town is in splendid sanitary condition. Readers of the Morning News will re member the recent assault upon Zack Had dock, near Jacksonville, and which it was thought would result in his death, and the subsequent arrest and discharge of several parties believed to have been his assailants. It was finally ascertained that a man by the name of Bud Smith, of Baker county, was the guilty party, and Sheriff Holland imme diately took steps to run him down and se cure his arrest. Tuesday Smith caine to Jacksonville, and, upon finding the Sheriff 1 , surrendered to him and was locked up in the county jail. He said that he knew that the Sheriff was having him traced from one point to another, and that sooner or later he would be arrested; consequently he eon eluded that the best tiling for him to do was to surrender and be done with it. He will he released on bail if he can raise the S2OO demanded. W. H. Taylor, Johnson’s Creek, New York, and S. *G. Hawkins, who owns the Curtis place, nine miles from Quincy, are busily engaged in drying blackberries for market. Put one in water, after the process of evaporation, during the winter, and it be comes as fresh as* when plucked from the bush. They have an evaporator that will dry seventv-five bushels of berries per day. Mr. J. L. McFarlin has one in Quincy of the capacity of fifteen bushels daily. Then are ten pounds in a bushel, when dried, and the New York quotations are 19c. per pound. The season lasts for two months, and there is the greatest abundance of the fruit, which is chiefly gathered by the colored people, and is sold at the rate of 40c. for fifty pounds. This is the third season that hns been utilized by Hawkins & Taylor in this industry, and they expect for the present one to realize a clear profit of SI,OOO. It is said that these two evaporators are the only ones used in the State for this purpose. The commencement exercises of the Take City Peabody High School took place at Cleveland’s Hall Thursday night, and were more than usually interesting. The hall was packed to the overflowing, and many could not find even standing room. The exeri uses consisted of the usual feature* — readings, recitations, speeches, etc. —and wound up by calisthenics, which was a sur prise to the audience. There were four graduates, viz.: Miss Sallie Luther. Miss Leila Stoy, Miss Georgia Burger und Miss Katie Waldron. The prize winners were as follows: Miss Florrie Stoy. gold medal; pre paratory depart ment. Miss Lovie Roberts, gold medal; primary department. Miss Katie R. Waltz, gold medal; elementary de partment, Clyde Taylor, gold medal. The children all showed in a marked degree the usual care that had been taken with them by their teachers, anil their recitations and the thorough examination they underwent proved conclusively the high efficiency of the teachers. The Secretary of War having granted the use of the Old Fort Marion and its large reservation to hold the coming State en campment upon, provided St. Augustine is selected by Gov. Perry, which all the St. Augustine iieople earnestly hope he may, in liis executive wisdom, find it a pleasure to do. OrdndViee Sergt. Brown, since the removal of the Indians, has had the fort thoroughly renovated and cleaned up in every nook and corner.' From a late visit one would be surprised at the great changes in this direction brought about by Sergt. Brown. All the casemates ha v# been care fully cleansed, and where necessary, strong disinfectants applied, while the military boys will have ample chance to mark how fast time will fly as they tell of their groat deeds of valor to the fair ones, while resting from the merry waltzes that it has lieen pro posed to use the parapet for, which can not be equaled by any liall room in the State, fanned as it is by the ocean breezes which como out of the great east every evening. The orange crop in Orange county will he decidedly larger than heretofore estimated, even though the .Tune bloom fails to appear. At Oviedo, in addition to Dr. Foster’s heavy crop in bis Gee hummock grove, a yield estimated at lft.ooo boxes, his tine grove at Lake Charm will also produce handsomely. Mr. Meade, it is said, will have a moderate crop. Other put-tie* in the Lake Jesup hum mocks, it* is now said, will have moderate crops. There mutt have been more bloom than suspected and bloom that developed into fruit in place of withering, as is usual with a large proportion of the bloom when it is excessively heavy. At first the young oranges could not be seen, having the same deep green color ns the leaves. Now, the fruit having attaint'd a diameter of an inch to an inch and a half, they are more read ly visible, but not until they change to their golden color will they become fully promi nent. Cant. M. E. Brock is vigorously trimming his home grove at Oviedo, which is quite heavily laden with fruit, from which he says ho expects 1,000 boxes. He had 8.000 boxes last year from this grove. On his hummock groves he expects about 800 boxes. Mr. Jolks’ grove in the northern part, of the town also vivos promise of a good yield. Mr. J. S. Wambie’s fine budded grove shows a surprising number of oranges, probably have an average crop or more. Quarantine Ktatkms are as thick in Nouth Florida ns new county lines. Mr. A. L. Hitchcock, of Auburndala, started to Or lando on business last Saturday and qp counterod one of fheso county line quaran tine stations at Camptiell’s, south of Kissimmee. The guard demanded “sur tifienti'H- ’ of all on the train. Mr. Hitchcock carried a paper given him by Dr. Duck worth. who has just been appointed assistant health officer of Polk county. The long-haired examiner of “surtifleates” said it, was no good. Mr. Hitchcock then put on all t he Boston brass he could command and asked the quarantine official bv what authority he proposed to detain hint in that piiiy woods forest. Tho reply wa.s rustic and warlike when the native ’held aloft a 7 inch index finger and ixiintlng straight at a sixteen shot Winchester rifle lying across a pine stump, said: “Mister, thnr it Is!” Mr. Hitchcock niade one step from the top of tho car plat form and doubled up in the ditch like a Jackknife, but lie crawled out and was corf ductod to the fumigation tent by this Win chester rifle man. Tlic Ivies of the quaran tine told the traveler that he could return on the fast mail train at 11:30 that evening, but, he would fumigate him first. Mr. Hitch cock sat, on a cracker box inside the tent and watched the Niks try th<> satanlc method of burning ttlphur around a couple of fel lows from Naples, on the Gulf 1-ouKt. First than- fellows were made to strip off and wash each other thoroughly, and while they were drying, their clothes were undergoing u separate fumigation from burning sulphur in a big Isix. The traveler underwent the same sanitary treatment, and savs he can stand anything new except the warm sun- Miiue, which might oausc spontaneous com bustion.
