Griffin Sun: We remember, years ago,
when we were a boy, when the old Macon and
Western railroad, 'now the Atlanta division
of the Central, used a little heavv set brown
mule for a switch engine at Griffin. He
knew as much about coupling cars and mak
ing up a train a* an average brakeman.
The freight oars wen* not so heavy those

loaded, and this little mule displayed almost
human intelligence in finding a brace for his
feet, and in getting out of the way of mov
ing cars.

ings the horse received from the picks lie

Hon. H. H. Carlton arrivod nt Athens
Thursday from Clarksville and gave the
Banner-Watch man reporter the portion
lars of the finding of the pistol with which
the negro, Charles Edwards, killed Mr.

wards’brother came to see him in jail at

gether, in which was also confined another
negro prisoner Echols and his brother had
a long and confidential talk, during which
the murderer asked his brother what he did

this confession, and thinking thut be would

dwuTitied the pistol was lound. It wus a

will be lynched.

having their brain fired hr frequent pita
j tions of domestic wines, which were sold at
the festival. It seems that Ed Burney and
his brother went to the festival and there
saw Tillman, and after ail had become
hilarious and jolly the old feud was re
newed, which ended by a thirty-eight
calibre pistol being handed Ed by tsis
brother. Ed fired on Tillman and the bullet
took effect in the forehead, and death re
suited Sunday morning. The murderers left
immediately, presumably going to Quit,
man, where they took the train and have
not been heard of since.
Campbell & Davidson’s grading force,
while at work last Thursday on the grade
leading down to the river on the Tampa
side on the Brushy Point extension, awl
about fifty yards west of the Tampa Ice
Factory, imbeartlied a square pine box
about seven feet long containing the skele
ton of what must have tieen an exeeedingly
large man. Judging from the appearance of
the bones and the decayed condition of the
wood, the remains had been buried fifteen
or twenty years. About twenty years ago
a crazy negro named Henry Johnson was
drowned in the river opposite the spot where
the skeleton was found, and the general
supposition is that these are his remains,
t hough no one is jxvsiti ve as to where he was
buried. The box was only buried about two
feet from the surface. One of the negro
men who found the skeleton knocked ail the
teeth out nnd put them in his pocket, say
ing that he would use them to “houdoo some
fool nigger.’’ Others, more superstitious,
were somewhat frightened by the find, and
refused to work longer in that vicinity.

meeting Thursday. Mr. Txirtigue read

Marshal P. C. Hodges. Mr. Mills moved
that a special committee for investigation
lie appointed. Mr. Ounby moved that the
whole matter be referred to the Council,
and u special meeting be call's! for that pur
pose on next Thursday. This was carried.
There was also read a communication calling
attention to the manner of collecting fines
in the Police Court, and asking that the
docket be examined with a view to prefer
ring charges against the Mayor. A number
of cases were cited in which the fines were
not collected in consequence of the interfer
ence of the Mayor. It was referred to the
special meeting of the Council. The com
mittee appointed at the last meeting to in
vestigate charges against the Mayor was
allowed until the special meeting next
Thursday to report.
Ocala Free Prone The year of 1887 will
be long rememliered as one of importance
in the history of our little city. During
that period Ocala has made more improve
ments in the way of line residences and bus
iness houses than any other within the last
five years. So has the city —better finan
ciering of monies and better streets has
liecn accomplished. Several of our oldest
citizens have provided themselves with ele
gant homes of comfort and luxury. Among
them we mention the fine residence of the De
loueat brothers in the western part of the
city, costing up in the thousands, and which
is ii"W completed; the cozy and home-like
cottage of Mr. E. T. Helveeston; the ele
gant mansion of Mr. D. A. Miller on
Fort King avenue; the residences
of Dr. William Anderson and
lawyer J W. Couch on the same principal
thoroughfare: that of Mr. Wm. C. Jeffords,
of Swiss architecture, on Ocklawaha avenue;
the elegant home of Mr. F. E. Harris; the
roomv and family-like cottage of Postmas
ter Dozier, now nearing completion; the
four cottages of Dr. Maxwell; four cottages
of Dr. Wm. Anderson; the enlargement
and now mammoth structure of Mr. J. N.
Btrobbar’s former residence from a one
story house to a three story edifice, and his
family cottage near Magnolia street. Be
sides the above there are a large number of
smaller residences all over the city which
have to*ii erected this year. Some of theae
residences will vie with those in larger cities
in elegance and cost of structure.
A man, accompanied by a boy 12 years
old, bearing the name of J. D.' King, nnd
hailing from Pensacola, arrived in Mar
anna on Friday last, and stopped at the
Milton house. In the afternoon he was on
the streets soliciting fire insurance at rates
far below the tariff of the Southeast Asso
ciation. This in itself was suspicious, and a
gentleman wrote to a friend at Pensacola
inquiring of the standing of the firm of
King &. Green, of whom the swindler
claimed to be a partner. A telegram
was received on Saturday, that there was
no such firm in that city, and the man King
was a fraud. Early that day King hired a
team and visited Greenwood, where he took
applications for two risks, receiving no
money, however. On Monday telegrams
were received from several insurance com
panies of which he asserted he was agent,
all denouncing him ns a fraud and swindler,
and an affidavit was sworn out against, him
for soliciting insurance without license,
awaiting action of the companies. He
waived examination, and through the kind
ness of five citizens, gave bond for SIOO to
appear nt the next term of the Circuit
Court. He remained at Marianna until
Wednesday morning, when he skipped the
town, leaving his board bill unsettled. He
led Mr. Calhoun to believe he was expecting
several gentlemen from the West, who were
in search of lands, and engaged teams to
carry them out. In connection with the
business of insurance he also said he was
engaged in locating colonies in West Flori
da. He tiad a letter in his possession from
a railroad office in Texas, recommending
him as a mechanic, and worthy man, and
saying his name was J. I). Hmith. He was
making his way to Savannah, he said, and
would procure work in the shops there.
Friday he was arrested at Jacksonville.
The War Feeling in France.
From the AVi York So n Cnhte.
If then* is one heing superlatively capable
of working upon his own feelings and of
making himself believe that the unreal is
solemn earnest. It is the Frenchman in
spired by ambitious visions of a crushed
and humiliated Germany. Frenchmen are
cheerfully giving up their private horses
anil carriages for army service. Food and
wine are pointed out iti abundance. Enthu
siastic regulars and more enthusiastic re
servists are vying with each other in climb
ing up and down the hill and chasing and
shooting nt imaginary Prussians through
mud, rain, sunshine and dust.
