From 100 to 300 crates have lieen shipped daily, notwithstanding the weather has been un favorable for trie most part. One orchard near town will furnish nearly 5,000 (one third bushel) crates this season, while other orchards contribute liberally to the trade. Ward Sheppard, of Watkinsville, gays that they have not as yet had more than enough rain to lay the dust. Around High Shoals it is as dry as a powder horn. Strange to say, crops are not suffering tor water, for the moisture in the atmosphere seems to him to have kept them going. If good seasons can be hud from now on good yields will be nuido. The farmers living on the Mulberry river, in Jackson county, are very much excited about a strange animal that is roaming around in that part of the county. Ben Arnold, a negro, sent his little girl to the spring after water, when this strange ani mal attacked her and inflicted such fearful wounds that the child died from it on last Saturday. It is thought that it is a wolf. A wild rumor wiis in circulation at Amer icus Friday to tin effect that certain foreign capitalists had made large investments In Americas real -state the day before to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars. A careful inquiry into the matter develop the fact that thorn was nothing whatever in the report, aud that the partios alluded to were merely there on a mutter of private business. William Holback, a colored man of Ath ens, ha* loen nr rifled on a warrant mini out liefore .Justice Evans. Ho in charged with assault and battery upon the poi son of Andrew McClure, the little soil of Mrs. Clareney McClure, living on the Pitner place, near Athens.

From here he tracked the dog to uc oilgo of the patch, where he hail torn off part of the shuck and had gnawed almost •11 the corn off and eaten it. Commencement exorcises occurred at Jackson Wednesday. Everything pass,*! off very plenMintly until the programme hful been carried about half out, when it was noticed that something was wrong l hind the stage. From some cause the scon ary and carpet caught tire, and the audience was beyond control. A panic seemed immi nent, the crowd rush'd ]iell-mell for the doors, but, by the noble efforts of H. J. Ran dolph and others a stampede of a serious na ture was prevented, and after a short time the exercises were resumed. Since the Athens city schools have closed, county free schools have lieen opened by negroes just beyond the outskirts of the in corporate limits. To these schools a num ber of the colored people of Athens are sending their children, thus getting a double share of the school fund. This is dearly illegal. The Stab 1 does not allow a child to get but one share of the free school fund, and the negroes in Athens have already secured that, and have no right to now go into the county and consume the funds ap priated to educating the children of the country. A few days ago Charlie Duncan, of Jack son county, went to Athens in search of a mudstone, his little daughter, 12 years old, having neen bitten by a dog with the rabies. Maj. Pruitt’s madstone was procured and full instructions given him ho*v to use it.

The lightning killed tho mare instantly, burning the hair from one leg and knocking ail eye out of the colt. It, also stunned the horse, but did not seriously injure ft. No one had ever been allowed to ride Red Jacket until this, but that evening ho was ns docile as a lamb and permitted anyone to get oil his back. Saturday, at Babb Sc Colbert’s saw mill, in Collard Valley, Polk county, Birdine Cothran (colored) was working with the huge hand that runs the saw. The machin ery had just started, and he walked in the direction of the pulley where he bad to bet ter adjust the band. When near the pulley his foot slipped and his body was caught be tween the licit, and pulley, and the force of the movement was such that, in the band’s revolution his body was threshed with great violence against the ground, mangling him horribly. When rescued his head and shonl dors were mashed and bruised and one hip and one leg were broken. He lingered in great agony for about two hours and died. The news of the commutation of Holman’s sentence did not reach Dolton until late Thursday evening, and tho news did not spread. The town was full of people Friday morning, bent on seeing the bunging. Four thousand were present, and were much dis appointed. Many expressed themselves freely, condemning the action of the Gover nor in strong language. Someone hung from the gallows erected in the suburbs, and also from a signal pole in the main street, men of straw, with placarils pinned on marked John B. Gordon. This created but little attention, except that the Chief Magistrate should be thus degraded. Tht crowd was orderly, and went home in better humor than when they came. Fannie Sharp was a cook and housemaid in a family of Macon. Lust Sunday she ap poured in ordinary health, but she was de spondent anil told her family that at it o'clock Monday she was going to die. They thought little of these expressions, charging them up to impulsiveness or hysterical flightiaess Monday she was knocking around home, and up to 9 o’clock she walked about the house, talking and attending to the ordinary matters about home. Sudden ly, just before 9 o’clock, she went into her mother’s room and fell down across the bed, where she lay motionless. Some of the family observed her and tiecoming anxious they went to see about her and found her passing through the last agonies of dissolu tion. The next meeting of the stockholders of the Central Rank Block association of At lanta, which occurs Tuesday, promises to be lively. The president of the association will make in his report a statement to the effect that John 1L James refused to pay a draft for $50(1 drawn on him to cover a de ficit in the semi-annual dividend of 4 per cent. Home of the stockholders assert, that Mr. James is behind; tliat, he owes them in dividends some s7,ol)i> which he received in rents. Some of the stockholders go so far us to declare that if Mr. James fails to make up the sum which they claim is in arrears that they will not hesitate to take the ouse into court and to apply for u receiver. Mr. James assorts that the rents have not been sufficient to pay the dividends expected. Marshnllville Times-. Henry is an edu cated dog—-In fact he is the smartest dog in tiiis entire section. He will carry a note or package homo or olsewhure as he'is directed. A few days ago one of our citizens was feel ing bad and thought that “three fin gers” of the “oil of joy” would add greatly to hi* cup of happiness, anil culling Henry hastily penned a note about in these words: “My Darling: l’lease send me a drink by Henry—am not well.” Giving this note to Henry, patting him on tho head, gave him orders where to go, ami quietly awaited his return. Henry did not proceed on his jour iicy many squares, however, before a sharp pointed flea attacked him and forgetting all else Henry went for it. In his efforts to discharge the flea llcnry lost the note which was afterward nicked up and sent to this office, which will explain to Joe how he missed his drink. Another accident occurred at tho river bridge near Amcricus late Thursday after noon, resulting in serious damage to the bridge through the carelessness of the crew of the steamer Montezuma. The lout came down the stream at un unusual speed, striking against tho bouts of the tempo rnry structure, which caused it to fall with a crash upon the top of the limit, several carloads of bridge timber* tumbling down upon it. Forth rmt -ly no one was hurt by the falling tini liers, but tiie boat, it is said, is considerably damaged, while the railroad is cut in two until raj mi rs can Is* male, which may re quire several days yet. Trains from Aincri eus have to stop on that side, and passen gers to and from Coney have to 1 H ) ferried across tho stream in bateaux. Thursday two (latlmats with provisions and a force of luuids wen* sent from Rome UP the riostiiiaulii to rescue tin-steamer Mitchell fir mi her present stranded tsisition. The Mitchell was on her way to Rome, hav ing on board a cargo of heavy oaken timber. Lost Monday afternoon about sunset, at a distance of twelve milm from this city, she sank iu S teet of water. Homo two months ago, in plying up the OoKtunnuln, she sus tamed a bad break on a jutting rock in tho forward part of tho hull. This was in sumo manlier imtched up so that the steamer seemed in good condition. Mon day evening Rhe was on her way to Rome and struck a rock on this weak spot mid sank, as liefnm mentioned. There were several passenger* mi board, among them a lady ana two children. All escaped safelv. The raising of the Is iat. will probably take several days, and afterward, getting the water mit of the hull and repairing, will tako some time. Tallapoosa Journal: Mr. Geutilllias is again in town, after an aiwenco of two weeks. During this time lie has been engag ed in securing 15,000 acres of mineral lands around Cedartown, only seventeen miles alsive us mi tho sumc Git, lor the Bradford furnace of Birmingham, and says they will commence the election of ftinincos there at an eurlv day.

From unsays already secured on our ore* he is convinced that our iron ores wo equal or superior to any oa tho THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1887. lead, and the prospecting and assay* of the Tallajxjosa company have demon strand the same fact. Is it not significant, that the tremendous furnaces at Anniston and Birmingham are coining over into Western Georgia for their ores? It is coming from an age of iron to an ago of steel, and tho red hematites of Birmingham will not make steel. They must depend on tho rich brown hematites and manganese of this section to successfully compete in stool making. Tallapoosa has the brown hem atite, manganese, specular magnetic ores, and charcoal timber in abundance. What shall hinder her from making steel? FLORIDA. Palatka needs a park. Crops are splendid in Bumtor county. N. B. Foreman will ship 150 bushels of LeConto pem > from Lake City this year.

The City Council will investigate the matter. R. F. McDonald, who lives nine miles north of Tampa, is the happy possessor of a cow that gave birth to three full-sized and well developed calves on last Saturday.

Sixteen hundred persons have signed the petition to the County Commissioner* of Alachua asking that an election lie called to have a final settlement with “old whisky.” The election will doubtless be interesting, as good arguments on both sides of the ques tion will be presented. The talk at present is such as indicates that the “little brown jug’’ will probably be popular after tiie elec tion is held, as it looks now as if old Alachua will go dry. George Crawford, of East Conway, has recently erected a large packing house in which to pack his oranges and vegetables suid prepare them for shipping. Mr. Craw ford reports that one of the pressing mU of his section is railroad connection with Orlando.

At Tampa a man by the name of Paul and his friends met a party by the name of Bascora and his friends in a room the other night for a quiet game of poker. The cards were shuffled and out and dealt around. Each party seemed to be satisfied with his hand, aud the bets were made, and the friends of the players staked their shekels ou their principal with the greatest confi dence. At last a call was made and the hands spread out. when it was found that Mr. Bnscom held the winning cards, but Paul declined to give up the stakes, and said he wouldn't have bet a cent if he hadn’t thought he hail the winning cards, and it wasn’t right to make him pay when he was honestly mistaken about where the best hand lay.

Their grapes began to ripen by June 21, at which date $1 2."> per pound was lieing paid in New York for not-house grapes, decidedly inferior to these grapes grown here in the open air. These gentlemen are confident that, with thorough cultivation and attention, the fruit can he made to ripen as early as J une 10 next year, or eleven days earlier than the present crop. They are getting five acres of ground ready for Irish potatoes, and when that crop comes off (in February) they will plant it all in Niagara grapes.
