Alapaha Star: Last Sunday we received
from Mr. XV. M. Avera, near Nashville, five
cotton bolls, nearly grown, which were
taken from one stalk. We did not leam
how much cotton Mr. Avera has planted,
but if he had 200 acres of it Col. Primus
Jones, of Baker county, would have a lively
opposition for the first bale honor. He may
have it anyway.
J. B. Norman and son J. T. Norman, of
Colquitt county, were in Albany Fridiay.
They brought in about 4,000 pounds of
wool and eight bales of cotton saved ovor
from last season. They sold their wool at
28%c., and were {mid for their cot
ton. It is not hard to understand how such
farmer* as they make money in any season.
They recently sold 7,000 pounds of wool in
the Albany market.
Two weeks ago the burning of Stonewall
Academy, in the Morven district, was re

XX hile at the store of L. B. Bosworth the
other day. the editor of the Amerieus Re
publican saw a side of white meat weighed
that pulled down the beam 150 pounds. It
brought sl2 75. Presuming that the other
side of the same hog weighed the same num
ber of pounds, it will be seen that the two
sides brought $25 40. The shoulders and
hains were sold for $-10 50, making a total of
$->•>00. Adding to this the Lard, backbone,
spareribs and head, the price of the hog can
be safely put down at no less than SOS,
which would buy a good mule.
On St. Simons the railroad is now in
operation from Egmont dock to the beach,
and the pavilion in connection therewith is
finished. On Thursday the dancing plat
form was staked off. It will be fifty feet wide
by seventy-five feet long, and will be ready
in time for the Knights of Pythias picnic on
June 29. This beach is fast becoming
a popular place of resort, and the manage
ment have determined to spare no exjiense
to add to its attractiveness. It is claimed
that when the large hotel is finished, much
of the patronage that now goes to Cumber
land will go to'St. Simons, because it is
easier of access and has communications
with the outside world by telegraph.
Amerieus Republican: Old Andy was ly
ing asleep in the shade of a tree, when fie
was rudely awakened by a farmer, who
said: ‘-Get up; I want you to hoe cotton.
Fifty cents a day and two meals.” Andy
siowiy opened his eyes, got up on his feet,
stretched himself yawning, and said: "See
here, white man; dis am a land of freedom.
Hoe cotton.”contemptuously, "I isn't gwine

Allen R. Johnson, who lives on the Lex
ington road, near Athens, has an orchard
foil of peaches, while all his neighbors’ have
been killed. Sir. Johnson last winter
trimmed up his trees and plowed the land
among them. They took a fresh start, and
were late blooming. Capt. Henry Beusscc
says that while travelling in Elbert county
he passed a large peach orchard, and while
there was no fruit in the orchard except on
two trees, they were loaded with peaches.
He asked someone the cause of this, and
they explained that the fruit on these trees
were saved by hanging a horse-shoe on one
of the limbs. He says that sure enough he
noticed the horse-shoe on the favored trees.
At Amerieus a few days ago a negro man
was on the streets with a live rattle snake
which he proposed to let bite him for 10c.
or a drink-of whisky. Someone gave him
a bottle and told him to drink, which he
did. and then pulling out a snake with ten
or twelve rattles on his tail, he held his
wrist where the reptile could strike. He
then called for more whisky and filled up.
He allowed the snake to bite his armseve-al
t imes, when he got so drunk that he tumbled
in a heap. The snake was examined and it
was found that the fangs had been extract
ed, and in striking, it was impossible for it
to make a scratch. Some of the deluded
parties turned it loose to get even with the
sharp negro.
Patrolman E. H. Cochran was found on
his beat at Atlanta Saturday morning una
ble to take care of himself on account of
some kind of attack which had bereft him
of his reason. Patrolman Cochran left his
jiartner, Patrolman Hadley, and went to
the rear of the Fifth ward. He was on this
beat about two hours when Hadley also
went to the rear of the Fifth to join him.
Gochran was found playing with his pistol
and club, and acting in a very strange man
ner. Hadley questioned him and soon found
thnt he was not in his right mind. A car
riage was procured and Cochran w-as sent to
his hi >mo on Filmoro street. It is thought
that Cochran has some brain trouble, the
result of too much exjxwure to the hot sur..
About tt o’clock Sunday evening, at D. J.
Moore’s, four miles west of Carrollton, a
small cyclone gathered and started in that
immediate vicinity, and there are no tidings
of it farther than half a mile in a south
westerly direction from Mr. Moore's, from
whence it came, traveling toward the north
east. The wind and storm were followed by
a heavy fall of rain. There was a con
siderable falling of timlier, which of course,
did some damage to the growing crops,
while a good deal of fencing was wrecked
and dashed down. Corn was tangled and
blown down, and the shocks of wheat were
scattered promiscuously over the fields, and
much of the grain was doubtless shattered
as the wheat was very dry. The farms
visitediby this storm were those of X\ r . R.
Parr, B. M. Burrow, A. B. Handley, D. J.
and J. XV. Moore.
Ed A. Richards has returned to XX’ashing
ton from the Wilkes county oil region. Mr.
Richards went down on" Monday for the
purpose of making further tests, and gives
a most flattering account of the outlook.
He brings back soveral bottles of oil and a
lot of sand, which is almost oil itself. Dyna
mite was used to tear up the rocks, and
each blast showed that the prospects bright
ened. A pit was sunk to the depth of (i or 8
feet, and the direction of the vein located.
Mr. Richards is fully convinced that oil will
be found in abundance. A large deposit of
terra alba also was discovered. This sub
stance is largely used, and is valuable when
ever transportation facilities can bo had,
and it is jnot likely that these will be long
wanting at Anthony Hhoals. land owners
along Broad river are taking a very deep in
terest in the present developments, and very
reasonably believe that their splendid coun
try will reap great advantages from tho
proposed railroads, oil wells and factories.
Other discoveries arc likely to be mado in
the next few days, which will bring oil
seekers from far and near.
Seventy-five cars of melons have passed
All >any within the past two days. Tne dis
tribution continues to 1)0 most excellent,
which justifies the growers in hoping for
good returns. .The seventy-five cars were
distributed as follows: Cincinnati 14, At
lanta 15, Chicago 5, Cleveland 3,. Nashville
4, Bt. Louis 5, Pittsburg 1, Birmingham t,
Evansville 1, Detroit 1, Decatur 1, Toledo 2,
Lexington 1, Charlotte 1, Durham 1. Knox
ville 1, Lima 2, Louisville 4, St. Paul 1,
Pittsburg 1. New Orleans 2, Frankfort 1,
Jackson 1, Danville 1, Chattanooga 1, San
dusky 1. The shipments usually increase at
this time, but they are falling off, and the
expectation at Albany is that, they will
continue to decrease. The solicitors
for merchants and railroads have pulled up
and left the line of the Savannah, Florida
and XVestcrn railway below Camilla. The
indications are that not more than half a
crop will bo gathered on an average through
the State. That section, though it has suf
fered greatly, is much better off than some
other parts of the melon belt. At one sta
tion below Macon, growers with 30, 10 and
as high as 00 acre* in melons will not be able
to gather a car from the whole Held.

At Green Cove a daughter of Thomas
Scott, mistaking a bottle of magic oil for
hair oil, poured it over her head, and
soon the scalp and her face was fairly burn
ing from the effects of the oil. Mr. Scott
took the precaution to rub lard over the
head and face of the little sufferer, so that
by the time he had reached the doctors
office the lard had had the necessary sooth
ing effect, and the danger was over.
Fisherman Johnson, of Green Cove, made
a big haul one day last week opposite Green

monsters had become entangled, and, in
their scuffle to get out, had more and more
entangled themselves until they were com
pletely wrapped up in the net, when they
were drowned.
The Seville saloon has been closed by
Charleston whisky houses, and the whisky
traffic at that place is a thing probably of
the past. There has always been at "that
place a strong element among the older
class to stamp out all prospects of a saloon
ever opening there. The efforts of the ladies
of that section have been an important
factor in preventing the sale of whisky
■there, and through their counter petition,
with the help of tne Seville Company, thev
came near defeating the petition upon which
the present license was granted, and it is
hardly possible that another petition,
signed by a majority of the electors of that
district, will ever be presented again.
Green Cove Spring: On a recent inspec
tion of the farm of one of our progressive
farmers, Mr. J. C. Batten, we had the op
portunity of viewing an elegant patch of
tobacco, which, by the way, is anew acqui
sition to the various crops grown in this
vicinity. There were some 300 stalks in the
patch referred to, and they stood full 3 feet
nigh, with leaves one foot in width by two
feet long. The seed were Obtained
from North Carolina, and were planted
during the month of January. Sir. Batten
is familiar with the growth of tobacco,
being a native of North Carolina, and he is
positive that his tobacco will compare
favorably with any he has ever seen, and
that the 300 stalks will produce $l5O worth
of good tobacco. 8o far he has “wormed”
and “suckered” his tobacco but once, which
is an item of considerable importance, and
but few of the leaves of the plants show
signs of attack by the worms.
Green Cove Spring: Bee culture, while
yet in its infancy in this State, is destined
to play an important part in the rank and
file of Florida industries. The fact that
our forests are alive with swarms of these
busy little workers, and that they lay up
large stores of sweets in their native haunts,
is proof positive that they are here at home,
an l that being domesticated they will great
ly increase the supply of honey. Some few
of our fanners hive “swarms” now and
then in the rude old “gum,” and in the
early summer “smoke them out” and amply
repav themselves with honey for the little
trouble they may have had to secure the
bees. To show what a source of revenue
bees might bring in to the farmer, we might
cite the robbing of seven of these hives oy
J. C. Batten recently. After reserving a
fair allowance of honey for his family, Sir.
Batten brought over 100 pounds into mar
ket, for wluch he received $23 80—pretty
good pay for the trouble of “hiving” the
Dees in rough boxes.
A year ago no one in Lake Citv dreamed
of the establishment of a cigar factory. A
few of the sagacious farmers of the vicinity
were experimenting with tobacco, but they
were generally regarded as visionaries. Mr.
Geer especially was denominated the “to
bacco crank.” But he eared as little for
their contempt then as he does for praise
now. vile went straight ahead and succeed
ed in developing an intense interest among
the people in reference to tobacco culture,
which culminated in tho planting
of a quantity of tobacco seed,
which has produced a mod
erately large crop of the “Florida Havana,”
of excellent quality when cured. Mr. Geer
established his factory last February in the
two-story building on the south side of the
court house square. There was no demand
for Florida cigars; he set to work to develop
it. After various discouragements he finally
succeeding ill placing his orders on a perma
nent basis, and now, he has demands for
more than he can supply, and will double
his present force within two or three weeks.
The Paiatka bridge question has been
definitely settled, that is so far as the ter
mini part of it is concerned, and is as fol
lows: The eastern end will start from a
point 200 yards north of Hart’s grove and
come directly across the river to a point
just north of the present dock of the Jack
sonville, Tampa and Key XVest railway.
The bridge will have a draw of 230 feet,
with a passage on either side of the draw
pier of eighty and ninety feet, which will
be ample room for tho largest steamers to
pass through. There will Tie a wagon drive
of seven feet on either side of the bridge.
Both the Paiatka and St. Augustine, and
the Mt. Johns and Halifax railways will cross
the bridge, and were at work Friday
surveying routes to the eastern terminus.
Gen. Bentley, of the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West railway, was in Paiatka
Friday and looking over the ground, and
arrangements are being made for a $30,000
union depot, which will be located near or on
the spot occupied by the present passenger
depot of the Jacksonville, Tatnpa and Key
XVest. The building of the bridge and union
depot will lie of much benefit to Paiatka
merchants, for about $50,000 will be ex
pended there, or near there, in their con
struction, and the bulk of that amount will
be expended by the laborers on the work.

up again in two or three days, having se
cured by telegraph a lot of 450 bales in At

as it removes the necessity of a long-shut
down. Avery small part of tho damaged
cotton will be available again.

P. H. Haltiwanger has made complaint
before Justice Muller that ‘‘at the Congaree
river in Richland county on Jan. 1, 1882,
and over since, the South Carolina railway
has committed and continued a common and
public nuisance by continuing a bridge over
the said river anti obstructing and interfer
ing with the free navigation thereof by the
people of the State.” As it was impossible
to arrest, the South Carolina Railway Com
pany, Justice Muller had a copy of the
original affidavit and arrest warrant served
upon Mr. Donald McQueen, the agent of the
corporation in Columbia, and the original pa
pers will be banded to the solicitor tone acted
upon at the next term of court. The ob
ject of the complaint is to have a draw
bridge placed in the railway bridge, so as to
allow steamers to pass up and down the
Congaree. Since the improvement of the
Santee river system by the general govern
ment has been going on, it ha* licooine prac
ticable for steamers to ascend the Santee,
and to proceed up the Congaree us far as
the bridm. If a draw shall be placed in
the bridge navigation can be extended to
Granby, just below Columbia. It is be
lieved that the complaint ha* been made at
the Instance vf steamboat owners Id Charles
