Here is an interesting artesian well item
from the Eufaulu Times: “A voluntary
flow of MJ,(XJO gallons a day has been secured
by the water works company in the well
under the bluff. A pump will increase the
qmntity about three Mini's, or at least to
L)0,000 gallons a day, so we are informed.
A car load of street pipe has already been
received, and active work will begin on them
in a few days. A strange thing about the
last well is that it lues wtomied the flow of
the other throe wells below the compress.
Tlie water Is said to be strongly impregnated
with sulphur.”
K. M. Horton, who lives six mill's above
Itnhlouegu, in Yahoo la district, was intown
Monday with the wing, bill and leg of a
curious lard. The bird somewhat re
sembles a crane in the I><>dv, but Its bill was
spoon shaped and til >out two and a quarter
inches wide and seven inches long. Tlie
wings uiwl tail were a lieaiitiful pink color.
Ftuiu tip to tip the bird was about five feet
I long. It is the only one of tho kind ever
j seen in this country, and is thought to boa
j sea-foxvl which had got lost. It is believed
to be one of the large spoon-biffs which live
on the seashores.
AV. S. AA'alton, of Baeonton, has on his
parlor door a caYprt with somewhat of a
history attached to it. In the first year of
the war the capital of the Confederacy was
at Montgomery, Ala. The President's man
sio.n was a rented house belonging to a Col.
Harrison. President Davis occupied it as
long as the capital remained at Montgomery,
and when it was moved to Richmond, Mrs.
AValton’s father, AVillis R. Callaway, pur
chased the house and some of tho furniture.
Among other things bought was this carpet,
which lie afterwards gave to his daughter,
who has kept it ever since as a sacred relic
of the lost cause.

of the States. The Adjutant was informed
that his orders had been filled, and tho guns
and ammunition were now on the way to
their proper destination. The companies
who will receive the benefit from these or
ders are commands in Seri veil county, Tul
bot county, Morgan county, Chatham
county, and in one or two other places in
the Suite.
I)r. J. S. Lane, of Aurun, has some rich
specimens of gold. He exhibits several
reeks of the quartz family, every nook and
cranny of which fairly shone with the yel
low Virgin gold. Nuggets almost as large
at a number two shot could be extracted
from several clefts in the rocks, and smaller
ones scattered in profusion all over it. The
doctor says that it is a lair sample of a vein
which he has recently discovered in about n
mile of the old Fountain camp ground on
the line of AVarren and McDuffie counties.
It is as rich as any' from the noted mines in
California, and promises to rival tho mineral
wealth of Goloonda.

bei-s. City Attorney Patterson and Hon.
George AV”. Gustin appeared for the defense,
and put forth the plea that the Mayor had a
perfect right to sign the contract, as it was
not in any sense a dobt. The defense claimed
the right both by act of the Legislature and
by the absence of any such net. Judge Sim

that the injunction would not hold good,
and he refused to grant it
Comptroller General Wright has in his
office yet several insurance certificates of
agents who have not paid the special tax re
quired by the law. The companies they
represent have paid hlio taxes demanded of
them by the State, but these agents are yet
behind with the special tax required of
them. The certificates will not lie sent them
until they do pay, and their names will be
published in a few days unless they come
forward and pay' tho special amount. The
matter is a very important one, and should
receive special attention, as the agents have
no authority to transact business under the
law until these special taxes have been
fully and completely met.
, A sou of A. C. Durham, of Watkinsville,
w hile on the creek or. Friday last, caught a
very large and strange bird. The bird
seemed to lie very tame, and flew up to
Durham, Jr., and remained quiet until
picked up. When carried home it was
turned loose, and walked around and played
with tho chickens as a pet pigeon would.
The head of this bird was as large as and
shaped like that of an eagle. The bird was
perfect from head to tip of wings; the legs
were only two inches in length, the feet were
like those of a chicken; the general color
was n beautiful snuff, and it measur ed four
feet from tip to tip of wings. The bird
seems perfectly happy with the chickens and
preceded the wind storm only a few minutes.
Crawfordville Democrat: AVo wore told
this week of a terrible encounter Miss Flynt,
of this county, had with a snake one dav
last week on the mountain at Hillman. ft
is said that she was sipping the balmy
breezes of the evening, and while sitting on
the ground she threw her urin back behind
her and at that instant she espied a good
sized black smake crawling over her arm.
She immediately knocked at the reptile to
free her arm, but as she struck at it the
horrid thing wrapped around her arm and
began to squeeze tighter. She screamed for
help and her horrified companions were
afraid to venture to assist her. The brave
lady seized the snake by the neck and choked
it loose. She was not hurt, but badly
frightened.
A close calculation shows that there are
between 400 and 500 white families in
Albany. It is safe to say that there are at
least 425 families who hire their washing
done. Tho average cost of washing | Ha
ve:-k, with soap and starch furnished to the
washerwoman, is not less than $1 25. Many
families pay more; very few pay less. But
cut down the number of families to 400. At
$1 25 | XT family per week the washing and
ironing would then amount to SSOO a week
or $20,000 a year. This is a small estimate
and doi-s not cover tho cost of soup and
starch nor include the lax-ge number of un
married men who pay $3 a month for their
washing. A more complete estimate would
doubtless show that not less than S6OO is paid
out to the washerwomen of Albany every
week.
Eatonton Messenger: A professedly brave
young gentleman ot the town, so the report
goes, who had been on a visit to sumo young
ladies recently, on his return to his room at
a late hour of the night, found himself sud
denly confronted by a human skeleton
hanging by the neck over the center of the
sidewalk. Witnesses say he did not tarry
for an examination, but cried out, “Great
s[>ooks alive,” turned about and run for
dear life. Dr. Brown says when he first
heal'd him lie thought it was his horse out
on a rampage. Tiie young mini passed the
doctor's house running at the rate of 100
yards in nine seconds, the fastest time on
record. The last heard of him that night,
he was at Ins boarding house lying at full
length on a bench resting and cooling off.

A work of great importance is 1 icing
pushed at the Augusta factory. On June
23 the work of taking out tiie old wheels
(which were nearly worn out and did not
give the power requisite) was commenced.
Anew wheel pit was commenced and two
huge iron flues erected, thirty feet long and
eight feet wide. At tho terminal of
the fines are three herculean wheels
manufactured by the Holyoke Machine
Company. Those wheels are enclosed in a
for bay, 51 feet long, 10 foot wide and 7 feet
in height. Around these two huge wheels
an arch brick wall is L-ing built. AVhen
the work is completed it is calculated that
the power of mill No. 1 will lx' increased
one-quarter. Tho entire work has been
done under tho supervision ot Supt. Crnmlie,
by the hands of the factory, mnl will lie
completed by Aug. 1, and when 111118111x1,

Jackson Xerrs: AVe learn that parties are
circulating jx'titions in this county securing
signatures, importuning the legislature to

Sining Reserve, Also that li. J. Lunar,
the lessee, is causing a petition to bo circu
lnt.xl in other portions of the State, for the
sain 1 purpHc. The citizens xvho liought
property adjoining the Reserve are opposed
to having tiie State's property | kiss

Jieople of Georgia do not wish to sell In

ber wil| sign a ]x'tition authorizing the
legislature to pass an art for that purpose.
The proposition that tho purchaser lie re
quired t> erect 11 $160,000 hotel at the

gates for a bargain. Armed with candy, he
goes the rounus of the city, and the child
that doesn't rush out with a bottle to barter
for his candy has never enjoyed the pleas
urable excitement of trade with him. The
rag business, which he followed for
years, has been abandoned, and he is
now bartering for the bottles that have ac
cumulated in and around the houses of the
city. It matters not how valuable a bottle
may lie, the child of the house will lay it
away for a trado when Uncle Billy' comes
around. A.s soon as his song is borne to the
ears of the child, there is a rush for the
hoarded bottle, and off for the gate ho
rushes, when the trade is quickly effected
for the coveted candy on the one Land and
the prized bottle on the other.
A terrible murder was committed at the
yards of the Chattahoochee Brick Company,
near Atlanta, at about 4:30 o’clock Sunday
afternoon. A convict named Charley
Schuler cut the throat of Dick Lester, a fel
low-convict, who died within four minutes
after the assault. Both men are negroes.
Lister, who was about 26 years old, was
sent up from Oconee county, about five
years ago, to servo a fifteen-year sentence
for horse stealing. Schuler, who is about
the same age, is a Lawrence county con
vict, having been sent up for burglary'. He
had served about ten years on a fifteen-year
sentence. Both men {sire good reputations
for industry and deportment about the
camp, and neither has ever been regarded as
particularly quarrelsome. Lester was re
garded as a man very easy to get along
with, and Schuler, whilo he did not bear
quite so good a reputation, was never re
garded as jiartieularly pugnacious. Tho
crime was due to a dispute over cards.
At Lumpkin Friday about sundown a
serious difficulty occurred on a plantation
three miles from town. Walter Harris has
a boy hired about, tho house to wait upon
him. He told the boy to bring him a bucket
of water. The boy was rather slow about
going, and Harris pushed him toward the
door and kicked him. The boy reported it
to his sister, and she went to see Mr. Har
ris, and told him that “nobody could kick
John where she was.” Harris then slapped
her face, and the boy’s father, Anderson
Trotman, seeing the difficulty, came up.
Upon hearing the cause of the trouble, he
bit Harris on the head with a stick or a
niece of fence rail, hurting him pretty
badly. Harris then jerked out his knife and
cut the negro Anderson on his left arm near
the shoulder, severing all the muscles and
came near cutting the bronchial artery.
The negro commenced running, when Har
ris seized a gun which the negro boy
John had, and shot Anderson in the back of
the head and neck. Dr. Miller was caJled
to see him and found the wound serious.
AA’lule little J. I). O’Hearn was strolling
down near the branch just north of Thorn
asvillo lie discovered a large snake under a
log. He at once tried to capture the snake,
but it escaped. Just then he saw two more,
and he grabbed one of them back of the
neck and then drew its tail up and held it
in the same hand and proceeded to catch the
other with tho other hand. In doing this
he got bit on the hand, and deliberately
stopped and sucked the poison from tho
wound and then captured tho snake as at
first attempted. Getting this snake's head
and tail in one hand, just as lie had the
other, he returned home, stopping several
times on the way to show several parties he
met how he could make the snakes light by
putting their heads together. After play
ing with them as long as he wanted to, lie
took them home and placed them in a box.
Mr. Fudge, his brother-in-law, having found
out about them, had the snakes killed. "J.
I).,’’ ns the hoy is commonly called, is a boy
aliont 14 years old. The bite of the snake,
although it was a poisonous moccasin, never
even made a sore. He says he is not afraid
of snakes and catches them just for fun.
Several digests for 1887 were recieved
Saturday by the Comptroller-general. Hull
county’s digest shows $3,2*10,615 worth of
taxable property, an increase of $76,404.
Hall county adjoins Gwinnett county on
one side where for the past three years the
amount of taxable property has been stead
ily decreasing, until within three years it
has aggregated more than $170,000. The
reason for this decrease as given by the re
ceivers of tax returns for Gwinnett is that
the value of land is steadily decreasing, but
in Hall county, adjoining, no such decrease
is manifested. Returns were also received
from Scriven, Glasscock and Johnson coun
ties. Seriven county’s digest shows taxable
property to the value of $1,300,316, an
increase over the returns for 1886 of $4,543.
The digest of Glasscock county shows
property to the amount of $433,333, a de
crease over that of the last year of $1,655.
Johnson county makes one of the best
showings that has been received so far
Tiie value of the taxable property in the
county is $873,150, an increase of $70,816,
ox-er 1880. If all the counties in the State
will show the same proportion in the values
of taxable property, the aggregate amount
of taxable property in tho State w'ill be
very largely increased.
Last week Paul F. Long, of Milton, went
to Tunilin’s farm in search of relics. He
was gone four days, and on his return spread
out a lot of articles that were once used by
the mound-builders, a race of whom little
is known. History gives no account of
them, and all that is known of them is
learned from the vessels, tools, images, etc.,
once used by them and found now in the
mounds erected by them. The North Ameri
can Indians knew nothing about them; the
Indians built no mounds, neither did they
know who did build them. They had no
tradition of their origin. It is supposed
that the mounds now found were erected to
mark the graves of the chiefs of a now ex
tinct rare, and Hint their earthly goods were
buried with them. All their implements
were made of stone, and their coo!.- vessels
of elay. Mr. Long had a variety of articles.
Among them was a stone mortar and iiestle,
used to beat up com, a piece of
white marble about eight inches
across, two inches thick, and was concavo
concave. Mr. ltoitg said this was called a
“clmnkey stone," and was probably used as
a target. It had almost a hatful of arrow
and spear heads, nil made of flint and quite
sharp on the sides ami end. Also stone
knives used to llesh hides, ami to cut the
bark off of trees. Several stone anx-ils were
in the collection; also round granite balls
about the size now used by school boys, and
supposed to have been used to play some
kind of game. He had two small pots of
cla\*burnrd very hard, one holding about a
gilt the other about a quart. There was
only one piece of metal in the lot; this was
a tomahawk or ux made of iron, about
three inches long and something over an
inch wide. The oldest looking mid highest
prized article in the lot were two hair pins
made of sea shell; one seven inches long, Br
other five inches. They were hoary with
age and will hardly hear handling, crumb
ling off at tho slightest touch. They were
probably worn many centuries ago, by the
proud daughter or wife of some king.

to citizens of Florida was forty-one, which
is an average of one for every 6,573 of pop
ulation.
Feeber, who was arrested at Orlando
some two weeks ago for gambling and fined
$25, anil who claims to be a Deputy United
States Marshal, but is not able to produce
any credentials, is now mixed up in a still
more disgraceful uffair. It seems that some
time since ho rented a room for a woman
whom he claimed was his sister, but as he has
steadily refused to pay the rent she has
lieen turned into the street without money
or friends.
The southbound freight train on the Flor
ida Railway and Navigation railway ran
into a hand ear one mile south of Leesburg
Sunday night, uml killed one vvjjite section
hand named Parrier, and dangerously in
jured Section Foreman Fail, it was on a
curve, and the engineer did not see the car
in time to stop. The body of Parrier and
tho injured man were brought back to
Leesburg. The body was turned over to
the authorities, and Fail was placed under
a doctor’s care.

When proposals in the proper form are
received ut the department, the contract
for nursing sick and disabled seamen at
Jacksonville will lie awarded. They will
not lie sent to the county (loor-houso as pro
posed. Seamen fora long time, and up to
about three years ago, paid a hospital tax
of 10e. per month. This created a large
fund, sufficient to provide those requiring it
with suitable and comfortable quarters and
necessary medical and other attention, and
it is certainly not just the proper thing to
send them to the pjor-housc.
Aponka City Union; Many think that
truck fanning in Florida will not pay, and
have given up the id-a of engaging in this
branch of industry altogether. No business
will prove remunerative unless persistently
and industriously followed, and the want of
proper management and attention has
caused some to foil in vegetable growing right
here among us. These should lake courage
aud pattern after our friend John T. McCol
lum. of Utishtiell, who has netted this year
at least $1.560 upon less than three acres
of land planted in cucumbers, tomatoes
and egg plant:.
R. ii Buekinan left Jacksonville Satur
day for 11 wick's visit to flic “Pirates" at
May port. He went in his little clinker
built sail boat. T • total weight of this di
minutive craft will not exceed 150 pounds.
Mr. Uuckmnn ha. taken all accoutrements
necessary fora wren days' fishing ami hunt
ing; trip, bat by some it ia hinted that he
will join the pirate bund and spend tho re-
mainder of his days in following their ma
rauding chief in his warfare against mer
ohant vessels. These “Pirates," as they
sttyle themselves, compose a band of a ba
Iter's dozen of Jacksonville’s young men
who have rented the McDuff House on the
beach at Mnyport, and to symbolize their
quarters, have planted a tall flag pole from
which the black flag of their order is daily
unfurled to the breezes with the booming of
their sunrise gun, and with the sound of the
sunset gun it is furled to await the return of
daylight.
On the night of July 8 Starling & Hen
dry’s mill, situated on the Belleville road,
alout four miles west of that place, was
burned. There were three gins, gin house,
grist mill, cotton press, saw mill and engine
shelter all destroyed. Fortunately the pile
of lumber wits not in the direction of the
wind, and was saved. The coals had been
raked oift from under the furnace, and
water thrown upon them before the hands
left the mill. But everybody went off fox
hunting, and while they were gone the coals
started to burn again, and soon everything
was enveloped in the flames. A few of the
crowd came back to the mill soon after, but
too late to do any good. The engine and
boiler was damaged but slightly. Mr. Star
ling says his loss is about SI,OOO.
Since there has been so much flurry over
the pensioners of the country, and as they
aro all supposed to live in the strong
Republican States, it may not be amiss to
say that hundreds and thousands of the
pensioners of the government have found
happy and contented homes in the South
since the war. Florida has her share, and
it is a matter of business interest, for the
amounts received as pension money goes
immediately into the channels of trade.
The actual number of pensioners living in
the State is li-Mi, and they are paid each
month $7,000 fil, or every year $84,835 712.
It may bo of interest to know how these
pensioners are located, and hence the fol
lowing statement, giving the number of
pensioners in each county, together with
the monthly payments to them, will be of
interest: Alachua4s, paid $533 91; Baker
2, paid $18; Bradford 11, paid $210: Brevard

Last Tuesday, and one or two days subse
quently, no attention was paid to the non
appearance of (.'apt George A. Moore, of
the American schooner Henry Waddington,
who was supposed to have left Pensacola on
Monday night for Mobile; but failure to
hear from him Thursday and Friday caused
his mate, Caleb McGee* a little uneasiness,
and the latter at once instituted an inquiry
into the matter. It was learned that lie
had taken a bus Monday night for
the depot, intending to go to Mo
bile, but he was seen in Pensacola the
same night after the train had left, by An
drew Brassel, the bus driver, who informed
the mate of the circumstance. The mate
with a police captain took in all the public
places in the city last night, but the search
failed to reveal the presence of the missing
man in any of them. Telegrams were sent
to Mobile, but the Captain had not boon
seen in that eitv. When last seen he was
drinking, had drawn S7OO on that day, out
of which he had paid one or two small bills,
and he was continually “flashing his roll”
throughout the day. It is supposed that
his condition was noted by someone in des
perate need of his money, that he was
watched, waylaid, and probably murdered
and robbed. The mate Friday telegraphed
the vessel’s owners of the Captain’s disap
pearance and they wired instructions for the
mate to bring the vessel home. Capt. Moore
was about 40 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches
in height, rod lace, light hair and mous
tache, had a slight scar over the right eye,
and, at the time of his disappearance, wore
a black diagonal suit and a brown straw
derby hat. He belonged to Ferry Village,
near Portland, Me., where his family re
sides.
Pensacola Commercial: Pensacola has a
case of precocity that bids fair to be dc
veloped into a first-class criminal career, if
its rapid growth be not checked and checked
very shortly, for it is attaining to such an
altitude in a criminal record that already
good cases for a term or two in the county
jail, if not in the State penitentiary, have
come to light as perpetrations of the youth
ful offender. As no charges have been
officially preferred against the party,
it will be as well to withhold
names, but an insight into the crimi
nal ingenuity and predilection of the
“kid” may not be amiss. He is not yet 14
years of age, and he lives not far from the
business center of the city. It has been his
custom to approach well-known business
men and obtain money from them on vari
ous false pretenses, a favorite dodge with
him being the plea of his mother’s poverty.
To be just to him, he does spend part of the
money thus obtained for provisions, which
he takes home, hut the remainder is squan
dered for tobacco and other things con
tributing to a depraved taste. Very
recently he went to a prominent bus
iness house in this city, whore, rep
resenting himself to be the son of a well
known steamboat engineer, he opened an
account, obtained a pass lwok, bought a
small hill of groceries and borrowed $2, all
of which business he found no difficulty in
negotiating, on account of the good credit
possessed by the gentleman whom he
claimed to be his father. His mother liqui
dated tho account when the fact was
brought to her notice hut she had received no
intimation of them from the boy. who as
soon as he had completed his purchases and
obtained the $2, threw the pass hook away.
