He re mained at Fairburn about a week receiving treatment, and whs thought to be effectually cuml. He is said to have felt no symptoms of thedruadful malady until last Wednes day evening, when an uneasy and strange feeling came over him. On Thursday morn ing he whs thrown into convulsions, and continued to have one after another until death relieved his sufferings at a! out. 7 o’clock Huturday morning. Mr. Fullbright was a blacksmith and was upward of 75 years of age. Hundreds of dodgers like the following were scattered over Americu. Saturday: “Welcome the Chief. In obedience to the command of Hon. W. H. Felton, of Bartow, the ‘intelligence of Sumter county’ are requested to meet at the depot at, 1J:H0 o’clock, to receive our distinguished ropro •entative, Hon. K. 0, Simmons—the crusher of the ‘Political She of Georgia.’ Let none foil to come. Speeches will Ik. delivered by dbtingiiished ciiiatiitt. The ladies are esjKX'inlly invited, and are assured that they will be protected from Felton slang.” In response to the übove call a crowd composed of several hundred citterns of Arnericus anil Sumter county repaired to the depot at the appointed time to welcome home their chieftain and representative. Extensive preparations had been made for bis coming, and had lie I sxm tile President of the United States he would not have been received with greater demonst ration* of joy than whs “the man from Sumter." In an interview with Comptroller Wright Saturday, he stated that there was no doubt about there being a large number of wild cat agencies doing hiKuranoo business in the State. Whenever such parties were discov ered, they were prosecuted to the extent of the law, but it is often a difficult matter to find out who they were. They would go ahead and w rite policies from year to year. Unlew a lons occurred, the policy-holder would never suspect that he was paying his money to a bogm concern. Asa matter of course, whenever there was a Joss the true character of the policy was disroverod, and the parties became at once subjoct to the law. The Comptroller declared that ho was satisfied that the nutnbci' of those concerns was much greater than any one supposed, and that people in taking out policies could not lie 100 careful hi investigating the mat ter. Every one should require the agent to •bow his license to do buKiueas in the Htute, and the preseuoe of the li.xmse whs good evidence that tiie transaction would be square. On Thursday night about 10 o’clock as Dr. Lockhart was going from Miliedgeville to his home in Midway, as he came near Double I? ran dies, he was attacked by tvo unknown white men and thrown down. While they were boating him he cried out murder, and asked them not to kill him, and told them who he was. The men then organ to cut him. Sir. Gholaou, who lives at Mr. Kemp's, near that point, heard his cries and ran in their direction. The attacking party fled. He found Dr. Lockhart wounded and bleeding. Dr. Lockhart was carried to the office of Dr. Moire, in Miliedgeville, the flow of blood stopjied and his wound dressed, after which he was carried home. Tlio parties are un known. The wounds consisted of three cuts. One of the oars was split entirely ojien in one place, and partially so in an other. He also received severe punctures in the eur which slightly punctured the temporal artery. Dr. Moore was in attend ance upon him twice on that night He says that he is dangerously wounded, but not necessarily fatally. T. C. Dempsey is one of the wealthiest men in Macon and has a large amount of real estate. One piece of historic property is the Floyd house. Prior to the war this was the principal hotel in Macon. During the war, !BtlS, it wns turned into a hospital and many a sick and wounded Confederate soiilier found refuge there. After the war the belongings of the hospital were, of course, carried away, many of them that wore of value lieing appropriated by the ra pacious yankee doodles. Hut among the t liings they forgot to carry was the old eight ilay clock, of Connecticut manufacture, by which the weary nurses timed the hours of giving medicines. Many a poor, crippled fellow, with his festering wounds, tossed oil his couch of pain during the night, mechan ically counting the ticks of that old time piece and listening eagerly for the stroke that told another hour of agony was ixv.s-.rd. In rummaging aliout the rooms occupied by Willie Dempsey, Saturday a gentleman stumbled across some other relics of great value anil interest. There are a number of old records there concerning tho manage ment of the hospital, and one of the rarest is part of the records of Andersonville, in 1804. Mr. Dempsey prises these articles very highly and will, some day, get a good price for them. FLORIDA. S. C. Bevill, of Gainesville, died Saturday aged 44 years.

The Spanish rum found on Hog Island, and brought into Key West by Capt. Joseph Roberts, was not sold last Tuesday in conse quence of the prices offered,not being suffi cient to cover the duty. The fact that W. C. Hargrove has been appointed Clerk of the Circuit Court of Putnam county, does not signify that Wil liam F. Forward is guilty of the charges made by certain parties. The Mascotte, from Havana Wednesday night, brought to Key West 34 passengers, 80 Dales tobacco, 170 casks claret wine and over 200 packages of fruit and vegetables, besides other merchandise. The county printing of Monroe will here after be given out by contract. The County Commissioners have notified all proprietors of newspaper's in Key West of their deter mination, and bids have been asked. At Orlando the firm of J. H.

Hu is also greatly inter ested in the progress of our artesian well, and will be glad to learn that fivsh water has lieon struck, although it will not yet run out at the surface. The parties having the well in charge for some reason are in terested in keeping their success in striking fresh water a secret. The depth at which it was struck was something over 800 feet. Strata similar to Ht. Augustine. At a meeting of the contractors’ organ ization of Pensacola Friday night, it was resolved that the nhw rules' regarding the stowage of tlnilior and lumber in Pensacola Bay should go into effect and force Satur day morning, except in cases cf vessels which lmve already commenced loading. The fixed rote of stowage is as follows: (file dollar aiul fifteen cents per load on timber, including the lumber used in stow age; $1 per 1,000 for lumber going coast wise; 90c. per 1,000 for lumber going.ubroad; $1 75 per load on timber stowed in steamers; $1 25 )H*r load on lumber stowed In steam ers; $2 50 iK-r loud on oak.

Pensacola Commercial: The renders of the Commercial doubtless remember the description of a hill of lumber that was be ing cut l ist fall by Robinson & Cos., at Mill view. The stuff was sawn timber with a bevolod tongue and groove, the machinery for cutting which was ordered expressly for the bill, and was intended to be used in the construction of dykes on the River Platte, in South America. The last of the cut was shipped the other day, in the ship Jacob A. Stamler. Strange to say never but one cargo has arrived at its destina tion. Some six or seven car goes were shipped, and the cargo which did arrive out all right had l>een transferred to another vessel at Cuba. Another cargo lies now at Santos, at which plane it will probably be also transferred; two other cargoes were hoard from when two degrees north of the equator, but they ure now a very long time overdue; ami others still have never been heard of since leaving this port, and must surely be lost. Ocala is agog over the arrest for forgery of T. D. C. Prentiss, by E. W. Agnew. Prentiss will be remembered a* the almost beardless youth of 24, who several moths ago wadded the 74-year-old Mrs. Z. E. Butt, widow of Dr. Z. R. Butt. As in all such in stances of unsuited mating, true love did not run overly smooth. Prentiss succeded in securing from his aged consort a deed of twenty acres of land, which Mr. Agnew ns the legally appointed conservator or her es tate. had to sign, and which he did. Pren tiss, instead of recording the document as indicated, interpolated in the some all of the lady’s valuable property in Ocala, con sisting of business blocks, houses and valua ble lands. This he was about to have recorded, when Mr. Agnew chanced into the court house, and ascertaining the nature of the paper, declared it a fraud and a for gery. Prentiss being nn impetuous youth, and ungovernable temper, which has brought him into numerous scrapes, applied very opprobrious epithets and unorthodox language. Mr. Agnew seized his voluble defamer and made him “bite the dust.” Friends interfered, when Mr. Agnew had Prentiss arrested for forgery, and he is now languishing behind the bars, calling on his friends to bail him out.. It is said that Pren tiss’ attorneys, McConnell A Ingraham, were quietly awaiting tho record of Pren tiss’ deed, that they might slap on a mort gage for #6,000 for lawyers fees. SAVING HAY. Fifteen Tons of Choice Hay Gathered From Five Acres. From the Americas (Ga.) Recorder. Webster Bag Icy is one of the sterling young fanners of Sumter county who fully appreciates the value of our native grasses as feed for stock, and loses no opportunity to gather and save an abundant supply of it for winter use. On his model farm a mile from the eity he has a five-acre field that was planted in oats the first of the year, and from which he reaped a heavy crop. The field was then allowed to grow up in crowfoot grass, instead of being plant ed In cotton, and during the past week Mr. Bagley has cut, cured and put away off of this field ten tons of ns pretty liay as one would care to sco, and at the next cutting will get fully five tons more, making a total of 80,000 pounds, for which lie has already refused an offer of $1 per hundred from two parties. The hay was mowed by Mr Smith, a practical farmer who moved hero from Ohio two years ago, and who declared that it was far superior both in growth and value to any that he ever saw grow in his native State. The mowing cost Mr. Bagley nothing, Mr. Btnith doing the work for the use of the former's rake, which he will use in saving a field of eighty acres of magnifi cent hay on his own farm a few miles east of town, and from which he expects to gather several hundred tons. In (lacking the hay for winter use Mr. Bagley sprinkles a |ieck of coarse salt upon oai-li wagon load as it is put in the house, which not only tends to preserve the hay from possible rot, but also gives it a slightly salty taste, greatly relished by stock, that eat it with the greatest avidity. He has already saved more than enough hay to feed his horses, mules and cattle on for an other year, thereby making his abundant crops of corn, peas and oats a sur plus. This grass crop, for which he re fused SBOO, has not cost him a penny, only tho trouble of hauling it home being re quired. In the face of the above facts it is unnecessary for us to urge upon our farmers the importance of saving their hay. That there is money in it none can deny, and what Mr. Bagley lias done every farmer iu Sumter county can and should do, also. Shot a Scarecrow. From the Gibton (Ga.) Enterprise. A good joke is told on Mr. Jordan Chalker, a gentleman living not far from this place, which we will tell as related to us. Not long since Mr. Chulker constructed and placed in his watermelon patch a largo scarecrow dressed in man’s clothes, to keep the birds away from his “millions.’' The thing acted liko a charm with the feathery tribe, but a different sjieoies of "birds” that make large tracks were not frightened by the scarecrow, and their nightly visits to the patch caused a considerable reduction in the number of melons therein. Against these “fouls" Mr. Chulker vowed vengeance. The other night Mr. C'halker heard a party of fox hunters oloea to his melon patch, and thinking tho sportsmen might lie hungry for fruit—-as fox hunters usually are—ho took his double-barrel and wendwl his way to the (>atch to protect his property. As soon as lie got near the patch he saw the tall form of a man standing among his largest melons. Calling to the man and receiving no reply, he raised his grin and emptied both barrels at the tigue. With a tlmd the form fell. Horror stricken at tho thought of having killed a man, Mr. Chalker ran homo at race-horse speed. “Bailie,” said he to his wife, “I kilted a man in the watermelon patch just now, and I never will be satisfied any more! His spirit will always haunt me!" and he groaned and carried on at a great rate ail night and was unable to sleep. Next day about noon lie sent for two or three of ills neighbors and told them about killing the man. Together they started to the scene of bloodshed to care for the corpse of the deceased. Yes, there lay the prostrate form, but instead of being human it wus the scarecrow. So much relieved was Mr. Chalker to find that his hands were not soiled with human gore that he little cared for the laugh of his com panions. Any person who desires to lift a few wa termelons may with impunity raid the patch of Mr. < ’lialker, for there is nodangur of being allot there. kow tho Editor Will Fatten. From the l‘\>nxklin (til a.) A'eiu. In a few weeks we can get plenty of mus cadines. The crop is the largest wo ever saw. As our delinquents refuse to ante up, mid no one sends us watermelons, no will do our Iwst to eke out a subsistence from thin air and such nutriment a* promises afford until the day of muscadine*. Things Worth Remombering. When you feel a kind of goneness about the stomach it is a sign that your food does not sit well and that you are about to have a (it of indigestion. When you I leg in to feel nervous ar.il are unable to sit still comfortably; when yotir clothes suddenly seem to lose their fit and become too tight in places the fit of indiges tion is surely upon you. When this tit of indigestion is repeated from day to day It finally resolves itself into dyspepsia. 'Chronic dyspepsia will snielymako the happiest life a hell noon earth. Remember that three to en of Dn.tx muiTii’s Pills will cure the worst case of indigestion or dyspepsia, or both, and that a regular eourec of them, say two every night fo a week or ten duvs, will act us a preventive of cither complaint. GERMAN RULERS’ LIVES. Oswald Ottendorfer Ta’.k3 About the Coming Changes In the Fatherland. A New York letter to the Chicago Mail says; Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer, the venera ble proprietor and editor of the New York Slants Zeitnng, who lias visited the father land nearly every year recently and is now preparing for another visit, lias given a re porter his views about King William and Prince Bismarck, and what he thinks will happen in Europe wnen they die. “1 saw King William last year in Berlin,” he said, "and the year before at Ems. He looked better lost year than the year pre vious. At th’is latter time he was looking very poorly and was in such bad health that it was not thought he could live long. At that time, while I was at Bingen-on-the-Rhine, a gentleman who had much to do with the court and saw con siderable of the Emperor, told me that the Emperor would swoon away for an hour or more at a time and was very ill. His pres ent trouble is probably of much the same nature. But last year he seemed considera bly improved again. Though he is improved over two years ago, he is yet a very old man and eaji not, in the nature of things, last much longer. "He is immensely popular. Whenever he shows himself there is an enthusiasm over him which an American can’t under stand. But we must take into considera tion his great age and the immense services he has rendered fils people. The jmople ac tually fall down in adoration to him and Bismarck. It really seems remarkable. This may boa sign of patriotism, but I don’t consider it an improvement in the German character. It has developed since the Franco-German war of I*7o. The em peror, when promenading, has as attend ants two tall, nig men, who are always with him and walk by his side with arms out stretched, so that if he takes a false step they can catch him. He made it a rule to walk half an hour every day.” Mr. Ottendorfer does not thmk great changes would be caused by King Wil liam's death. “The crown prince is capable and popular, and a point to be remembered is that he is 57 years old, and thus beyond the age when a ruler is ambitious to make changes in his government. As to the im mediate prospect of the Emperor’s death, that is not certain by any means. As two veal's ago he was not expected to live until now, be may rally again and live several years. But it will lie impossible for him to take the field again if there should be a war. That i* very certain. He cannot repeat his per formance of 1870 when he was in the Bundle fourteen hours. This may be said to have been hiH last active work on the battle-field. If he should die and the Crown Prince’s throat trouble cause his death, too, the lat ter’s son William would become ruler. He is about 30 years of age, and spoken of very highly and as an able man. But I doubt about his amounting to much os a general, though of course he has had no opportunity as yet to display any talent of this kind.” “Would not the death of the Emperor be apt to lead France to precipitate war?” “It is difficult to say. It does look as if war lietwoen the two countries is inevitable in the near future. But the great part of the German |ieople do not wish war—they are naturally Inclined to peace. But at the same time they keep up their army in good shape. If there should lie a war now Ger many would undoubtedly get the tletter of France, and probably Russia would join France, and Austria engage Russia. When I returned from Europe last fall I folt posi tive that in the spring war would be begun. The air was full of war rumors, and I was never in a country where the opinion was so widespread that a war was inevitable. Nevertheless, it ha 2 not come yet, and certainly the German people are doing every thing to prevent one; and they will con tinue to do so unless provoked to such an extent as to be unendurable. The trouble is that the ambitious men of France, like Boulanger, may lake hold of any opportu nity to precipitate a war But’l believe the French statesmen w ould do their best to prevent war. Parties in France must not tie taken for the French people. I believe the latter, as a rule, are inclined to remain at peace. But if France does go into it she is sure of being defeated, and in that event Germany might feel compelled to reduce her to a second-rate power by crippling her greatly, and she doubtless would have to remain so a long time.” "But France does not seem to get over the taking away of Alsace and Lorraine by Germany.” "Whether she does or not Germany can’t give them up. As long as they were in tho (lossession of France the door was open for an invasion into Germany and so it is neces sary for Germany to keep them, if only in sol [-protection. Rut these provinces were originallv German for 150 years and were sold to France. The country people there speak German even now. Germany has im proved these provinces immensely since she has control led them, expending millions of dollars in doing so, particularly in the im provement of public buildings.” “What would be tho effect of tho death of Bismarck?" “Tne death of Bismarck would be more generally felt in the position of Germany in Europe. This high position is due in very large part to Bismarck, and his death would probably result in changing it considerably. But, perhaps, it would lie better for the peo ple at large of Germany if their country did not occupy so prominent a position and one that costs so much to maintain. It was formerly thought that the crown prince was not on good terms with Bismarck, and would enter on a different, lino of policy in the event of the latter’s death, hut I doubt this. This reduced position of Germany that I s(>oke of would not satisfy the ambi tious men of the country so much, perhaps, but it would be better for the common peo ple, for then there would not have to lx* made so much show, and, consequently, there would lie more money saved.” “Did you ever see Bismarck?” "Yes, in the Reichstag. Personally, you would not bolievo, to look at him, that he was such a genius and power. He is a very poor speaker, and you would not imagine, when you see his speeches iti print, if you had heard his style of speaking, that he could deliver such stirring addresses, Ire member I asked the head stenographer of Parliament if Bismarck's speeches were not doctored after they were delivered, tkey read so different from the style of the mun when speaking. I was surprised to be told that nothing in them wa* ever changed. It is a pecu liarity of Bismarck's that every word as be 11110011 it. shall appear in his printed speech. Even the occasional mistakes in grammar, he insists, shall go in just as he made them. There arc striking sentences in his sneak ing, of course, but on the whole his is not the work of an orator, and ho speaks very bluntly. But ho says what is on his heart, and that Is why his words make such a great impression.” “Who will succeed Bismarck?” “There in really no one that possesses such talents. He has two sous, one of whom, Herbert, lie doubtless intends to make his successor, having sent him already on sev eral important missions. He is about 40 year* of age, and he must have some con siderable talent, of course, hut he will not make another Bismarck. Ho has been made bv h * father an Assistant Secretary of State.” Tho Beet Cosmetlque a lady can use is a perfectly prepared toilet soap. Try Cashmere Bouquet. Advice to Mothers.
