Jack Slappey contemplates going into the manufacture of vinegar in large quantities at Fort Valley. The Wayeross Headlight prints an eight page trade edition which makes an excel lent showing of the business interests of the town. The Fort Gaines Advertiser issued a twelve-page trade edition which shows the enterprise of the merchants of the town as well of that of the paper. At Cedartown the firm of Moore & Beas ley has been dissolved. Tom Moore, of the firm, has established himself at the old stand of White & Marshall. Mr. Beasley occupies the firm's old stand. James Slater, of Hart county, has a cot ton root, washed up by the freshet, that is over eight feet long. This corroborates the theory that cotton is often injured by late plowing, breaking the lateral roots. A number of commercial drummers who visit Hartwell, have organed a scheme to V>oj cott the Hartwell Hotel, and persuade all travellers whom they car. to not patron ize the hotel, all for some fancied griev ance. A meeting was called at the court house, at Villa Rica, Monday evening, and a com pany of twenty-five young men was formed to join in the procession of young Demo erats at the Piedmont fair. These com panies are being formed all over the State. • Two fine mules belonging to Lum Fam •brough, were drowned at the Seull Shoals ferry in Greene county last Wednesday. The mnles were hitched to a wagon and were driven on the flat, when they became frightened and dashed overboard into the fiver. Tuesday night last Mrs. Jona Sanders, of Lexington, was stricken with paralysis of tie tongue and throat so that she has been finable to speak or swallow anything since. • Mrs. Sanders, now in her 86th year, has been a cripple and invalid for thirteen years, and she cannot survive this last affliction. The New York directors of the Tallapoosa Land, Mining and Manufacturing Company will arrive in Tallapoosa the first of this •week, accompanied by representatives of the New York and Connecticut press. Luring their stay they will complete ar ragements for the grading of streets and other city improvements. Since they have begun to gather it, many Oglethorpe county farmers have discovered •unseen damages to corn by the flood Aug. 1. The butt end of the ears that were standing erect have been found to be sour and rotten, caused by the water which penetrated the shuck and could not get out. Some farm ers report considerable amounts lost in this "way. Two years ago Col. L. M. Felton, of Mnr shallvifle, bought two Jersey heifers, paying over SSOO for them. Since then they have dropped him four calves that are worth considerably more than the cost of the original pair. In addition these two Jer seys have produced au average of fifty pounds of biter per month for the entire two years. A sow belonging to Dr. John E. Walker, of Greensboro, recently gave birth to a lit ter of pigs. Among the litter was one of uncommon size, and perfectly nude—not a hair to be found on any part of its body. It lived but a few hours, although it was otherwise perfectly formed and apparently healthy. Pig raisers are in doubt as to what was the cause of the freak. Just at this season colored churches nre not loth for preachers, for at almost every meeting one is licensed to go forth and preach (not always) the gosjiel One of their new made divines occupied the pulpit of one of Lexington's colored churches the other night ami took his text from “Somewhere in de Bible whar de seism po’ cows et up de seben fat ’uns,” upon which he delivered a lengthy discourse. What will perhaps prove a fatal shooting occurred at AVoodville Tuesday night. George McDuffie, a negro preacher, waylaid and shot another negro. Bill Cheney, inflict ing, as the physicians think, a fatal wound. The weapon used was a shotgun. The en tire load entered the abdomen on the left aide of the body, and it is thought pene trated the cavitv. A woman is said to be at the bottom of the trouble. The would be assassin lias thus far escaped urrost. In Oglethorpe county there is a general complaint with growers anu pickers of cot ton at the feathery lightness of the staple. There has been i-o nun since it began to open, which makes it as drv and light as it generally is at the last picking, so that it takes a lot of it to make a bale and a biy; day’s work to pick 300 pounds. The staple is good, though, and none of it is sampled below middling, and most of it as good middling. This compensates the grower. Perhaps the oldost mule in Oconee or sev eral other counties was driven into Wat kinsville one day last week. This mule be loogs to Jesse Butler and was given him at Savannah at the close of the war by the A ankees. Mr. Butler rode the mule home and has had him ever sinoe and has worked him regularly every year. The mule is now as quick and peart as most of the young mules. Mr. Butler says the mule is twenty six years old, being six years old when ho got him and he has had hint twenty years. In digging a well for water to supply the engine which runs his saw mill, four miles east of Bainbridge, Mr. Ixihr, at a depth of thirty feet, discovered inexhaustible quan tities of kaolin of u bright red color that is attracting attention. The samples seen by our informant contained not a particle of sand, and wus almost as tenacious and tough as wax. From a single lump of it a young man in the employ of Mr. Lolir carved a jajrfeet model of a house with doora, win dows, apartments and all, complete, in-sides a number of other smaller things, A hen in the ynrd of Rev. I. W. Waddell, of Albany, after attending diligently to business for the usual period ofSnculiation, came olf her nest with seven little chicks one day last week. A few days afterward bhodied, leaving the little chicks without a mother. But there was au old rooster on the place that seemed to take in the situa tion, and at once went to the rescue of the motherless chicks. The brood now follows him around and he scratches for them and clucks to them throughout the day, and leaving his former rimming place among the lug chickens in the hen house, tenderly hovers them under his wing at night. Gath Lennon, of Montgomery county, who was using one of Mr. ' Sharpe's horses, ■wus riding along in the piny woods near Mr. Sharpe's house alx-tit dusk, n lew days ago, when suddenly the horse was struck at. Ly un alligator which was lying by %be side of the road. The horse shied and'ian, and could not bo stopped until he had run a con siderable distance. As son as the horse could be checked. Mr. Lmnnn provided himself with a long nine limb and rode back to the scene. When the horse was within about fifteen feet of the leptilo, with mouth wide open, it, made for the horse and rider, evidently un der the impression that it could easily bring the i-onteat to a does by swallowing both at or- gulp. Tlie horse wheeled and Aid precipitately, this tunc almost throwing his ridsr to the ground Convinced tliat cav alry was not tho most effective arm of tlie service for the emergency, Mr. Lennon dir mounted and left his horse firmly tetherisl t<> a hush, and returning to the attack, sue t eoH-1 in giving his ’gatoratiip a quietus with a pme knot. It measured 0 feet iu length. V"iu-a little breeze was stirred up in Last linns' Thurnday noon. The occasion of the oscitamunt was an attachment uj tin '•*d'.4,age of tiw I leleji Blythe Company, suaqoul by the publlebars of an afternoon unsspapw oi that <aty. UoUia Utah he 4* tainod the manager of the company, Mr. ; Bryan, paid the money over to the officer 1 under protest, and the matter is to bo set tle lin the courts. Mr. Bryan said by so licitation he, ou Wednesday afternoon, was introduced by Mr. Kindred, proprietor of ! the Central Hotel, to Out/, who repre ! sentod hltyself as being connected with an j afternoon paper. Outz inquired of the man I ager if he had any news to give out, ♦hat his paper was about to go to press, and he thought he would give some mention of the play. ! Alive to his own interest the manager showed the newspaper man a clipping from a rhnttanooga jiaper concerning the per formance in that city on the evening before. He also, in conversation, gave out several other “pointers," and when he left Outz he shoved a couple of tickets in his hand. He says there was not a word spoken about advertising during the whole convei-sation, and was consequently much surprised yes terday morning, when a bill for about £4 50 was presented to him. He, of course, refused to pay, and just as the company were about to leave the city the attachment was served. The case is set for Oct. 19, iu the Justice Court. FLORIDA.

Under the nom de plume of “Ocala,” someone from that place suggests the name of John F. Dunn, a banker, Tor Governor. The sweet potato crop in Levy county, seems to be good, judging from the way the fanners nre bringing them into the market at Bronson. Within a square of the public square at Ocala, there are seven stores now being completed, all of which will be occupied as soon as finished. The walls of the new Presbyterian church at Pensacola are nearing completion, and the building will soon be ready for the roof and inside work.

Tho steamer, having in tow a steam dredge and two scows, went from Apalachicola to Pascagoula in fifty-four hours. She left Pensacola at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon, last, went to Apalachicola, theuce with her tow to Pascagoula, and arrived back at Pensacola Thursday night. The distance from Apalachicola to Pascagoula, counting, of course, the doubling of Cape St. Bias, is not less than 365 miles. Tampa Tribune: Tho rumor on the streets to the effect that Col. G. A. Hanson was rotten-egged Thursday night, from wliat we can learn, is incorrect. As the train moved off some scoundrel threw an egg, which struck tho car. Col. Hanson was in the car with others, and there is no more evidence that it was intended for him than for others who wore on the train. Sheriff James Mar tin got a bigger share of the splatterings than any one else we can learn of. Chi last Monday evening, when the freight train was ooming in, and opposite the electric light works, a negro threw a missile through one of the windows of the passen ger coach. Madison county gave a majority of 190 against prohibition. There were irregulari ties on which both sides can base a contest if they desire. The Antis are contemplating a contest for the Madison precinct, betting such action upon the irregularity in the election of that precinct. Upon the other hand those who opposed the sale claim to have sufficient evidence of irregularities to throw out the returns from other precincts giving majorities for the sale tooverbalanee the loss of tho Madison precinct and to so change the result as to make it against the sale in the county. Probably no thought of a contest would be entertained had tho irregularity which occurred here taken place in some precinct of minor importance. None charge that fraud was committed by these irregularities. The Ormond, 8. E. Churchill, of Church ill-Hall-oii-the-Hudson, manager, accommo dating 130 guests, will be open Jan uary 1, 1888. This hotel, on the peninsula between tho Halifax river and the ocean, is now building under the superin tendence of C. P.

It has no neighbor ing buildings, and will have an iron roof, an 8,000 gallon tank of water, with stand pipes and hose every one hundred feet in nails, so there need lie no fear of fire. The upper stories commafld views of both tho Halifax river and tho ocean, while the front verandas, raised above the ground level like that of tho San Marco, overlook the broad river, with tho village of Ormond on the opposite or western shore. Last Thursday night, as one of Tucker & Bro.’s teams was coming into Madison, and when near the residence of E 1. Dickinson, something caused one of the horses to kick, and the team ran a wav, eventually rushing into a fence, one of the timbers of which pierced the body of one of the horses. It was taken to the stable, and all the relief possible afforded it. Two men staid with it through the night. It is said that tho horse would show almost human intelligence when the men left it, by giving vent to such agonizing tones tw would call them hack again. It survived the wound for about twenty hours, and at that time, s eing that it was growing worse, Mr. Tucker ordered it le ito the woods to die. It had left the stable but a few steps when it became too weak to proceed farther, fell, ami expired almost immediately. A Mrs. Stocking, living in the neighlior hood of l.imoiia, bad quite a startling ex |ierience one night lust week. She had walked in the afternoon to Mango, a dis tance of at,-out a mile aud half, and had made a purchase of some meat, and started ofi her return home. She kept going until dark and failed to find her home or come in sight of any house, and soon realized the faet that she was hist, but kept struggling along hoping to find her way home iir to soma place she could get shelter. She had oil a pair of slippers; they soon liecoma so wet they had to lie taken off, and She wandered around liaro foupgl nutii be came foot-sore and exhausted, and fell down in a fainting fit. She was aroused some time during the night by an opossum rooting about her hand trying to get the meat m her basket. When she became conscious the moon was shining. The’pos sum run off, but she states that some kind of animal, as large as a small dog, with bright shiny eyes, kept walking around her the balance of the night, and that she was afraid to move, ami Imd to remain iu a slab' of fear for hours watching tho strange brute that seemed intent upon attacking her. At daylight she started out again on her hunt for home, anil alsiut 10 o'clock she met a party out searching for her. Her lmslinnd, supposing that she was spending the night at a neighbor’s, was not alarmed until next morning, when he learned she had not been there, when a party was soon raised to go in search of her.

Mr. Donnelly Caught Concealing a Cryptogram in “Ragnarok”-How His Guilty Conscience Unburdened Itself of the Authorship of “Beauti ful Snow,” Which is Evidently the Work of the Same Hand that Wrote the “Novum Organum.” New York, Sept. 17. —With regard to my forthcoming treatise on the authorship of Bacon’s works I only desire to say in advance of the publication of the book that I not only firmly believe that Ignatius Donnelly wrote tho “Novum Organum,” and the “Augmentis Scicutia run,” but that I have discovered a crypto gram which, to my mind, proves conclu sively to the world that he desired to conceal the fact for political reasons, and buried tho secret of his authorship in “Itagua rok.” It may be well to recapitulate some of the reasons that have influenced men previous to my discovery to doubt the reputed author ship of Bacon’s works. In tho first place, the discrepancy be tween the transcendent morality of the thoughts put forward by the writer, and the ineffable meanness of the man who is re puted to have uttered them has never been accounted for. We are asked tolielievothat the profoundeat intellect was the shallowest of ingrates; that tho largest amount of spiritual insight could be applied to the most ignoble trifles; that a mind which could reach beyond the age and gr.asp tho hidden truths of the future was capable of truckling to a corrupt court and taking bribes like a valet. Any attempt to adjust Bacon’s literature to Bacon’s conduct —with all deference to Macaulay—ends in a profound conviction that the man who pursuod his benefactor to the block was not the same man who wrote the “Novum Organum.” We do not ex pect to find a Torquemada and a Pascal m tlie same frame. We cannot, try as we will, reconcile the almost preternatural and certainly unprecedented acumen, wisdom and subtlety of Bacon, tho writer, with tho folly, stupidity and. obtuseness of Bacon, the man. IGNATIUS DONNELLY. The two records present us with the amaz ing problem of the greatest intellect and the highest virtue performing the most puerile acts and committing the most un amiable crimes. There is not a record left us of this master spirit having touched his contemporaries anywhere with a master virtue. Such being the case, is it any wonder that grave doubts have Lieeu thrown upon the reputed authorship of the Baconian philoso phy? In taking up this matter in the interest of mankind I propose to 1. Find a man whose character for sub tlety and wisdom would agree with the character that is induced by Bacons writ ings. 3. I determined to find all the analo gies or points of resemblance in tlie two ideals. .8. I then determined to discover, if possi ble, a cryptogram which would explain the true autnorsnip. In pursuing this course of inquiry I fixed upon Mr. Ignatius Donnelly as the man whose conduct and whose utterances best fit ted him to wear the mantle of inductive philosophy. I found that the author of the "Novum Organum” was fond of making puzzles for the sake of solving them. He invented a system of secret writ ing. He wrote anew Atlantis. He died from trying to stuff a capon with snow. These analogies convinced me that there ought to lie a cryptogram concealed in Mr. Donnelly’s writings. I immediately proceeded to conceal it there. Now hero let me say a word with regard to what may lie called the era of gold bug literature in America I call it by that name because Poe’s “Gold Bug” is its dawn and Mr. Donnelly’s "Ragnorok’ its high noon. These immortal works of induction are constructed upon the philosophical plan that you can find any hidden thing you want if you are only the nider. and that to un ravel any mystery it is only necessary that you should he the author of it first. Proceeding upon this just basis I soon ar rived at startling conclusions. I cannot here m justice to the publishers of my book give you all the astnundiug re sults of my discovery. It will lie sufficient to mention in brief some of tlie methods employed and some of the inductions in duced. I took up Mr. Donnelly’s “Ragnarok” and liegan to study it carefully. 1 noticed at once the unusual nuntber of footnotes. I could not help feeling t hat they had an eso teric purpose, for they arc forced in when tlie context does not cull for them, and in many cases do not satisfy the reader with their explanations, i found tliat, the first one had seven words in tlie first line and eight in the next. The second footuoto had eight and the third nine, the fourtli Imd ten word* in the first line. Every second lino of print hail eight words. It may be seen thus: 12 2:::::::::::::;::::::::.::: 8 •l 9 O 8 Tliat this arithmetical progression of de nominators was accidcfiUft was hardly credi ble. After thinking m"r the mutter for six months night and day, 1 one night thought they might indicate pages in the original folio of “Ragnarok.” Httt having determined upon the consecutive png> s 7,8, 'J, 10, I was os at loss to know what to do with them until after another month's hard thinking; when it oecurrod to me to Multi ply the nuinlier of wort is in the first line with the muulier of words in the second line, am! I determined to see if these totals could not Ih> applied to tlie words on the page* indicate!! by the first figures. 1 turned to page 7 mid counted down to the fifty-sixth word, and it must not bo over hsiked that the totals stood thus; } J i /*, Word. M * e 111 Ml I found that the fifty sixth word counting front left to right aim downward on the seventh wa Haw Proceeding csrefnlly then to 111* eighth page ami the *MUr fouith word i iouud ilia tat h. Tits ninth page an i the seventy-second word was This, and the eightieth word on the tenth page was For. There was evidently no sense in this; at least no revelation, and it was not until I had spent another month in meditation that it occurred to mo to try the fifth footnote. I applied the same method to it. There were eleven words in it. I multiplied it by eight. The eighty-eighth word on the eleventh page was High. -r; \\ /ta > ! c rig Bgif SOLVING A CRYPTOGRAM. A flood of light burst upon me. I now had a distinct sub-moaning conveyed to me by the author which the millions who had pondered over his book had never de ° “HOW IS THIS FOR HIGH.” I saw or thought I saw that the key was in my hand. I gave the rest of the year to a clo*e study of the remaining footnotes in the book. It resulted in the discovery that the multi plier was changed with each succeeding group of five footnotes. Thus the next se ries gave six as the multiplier, and with the multiplicands the group stood thus: Page, Total, Word, 0 36 Eye 7 43 am 8 48 the 9 54 author 10 60 of It was thus necessary to go over to the next group to complete the sentence. I found the first word to bo Beau, the second Tie. This gave me the discouraging result of Beau tie. That is to say: “I am the author of Beau Tie." Utterly disheartened at the belief that my theory had broken down, I wept, and it was some time before I could persuade myself to pursue the investigation any further. However, when I did so I was rewarded for my pains. The third word was Fulls and the fourth was Know. The sentence then stood: r 36 Eye I 48 am Second Series.. .f 48 the I 54 Author I 60 of f 70 beau Third series \ 80 tie j9O fulls • (.110 know 120 Could there any longer be a doubt in a ra tional mind of the glorious discovery “/am the authoi• of Beautiful Snow." My excitement when this precious truth burst upon me was not altayed until I re membered that the sentence was completed without any apparent use for the number “130.” This set me to work again. I found that the one hundred and twentieth word was Beeswax. At first sight I confess that it was difficult to see the relevancy or significance of this. But by applying the inductive “gold bug” system it began to grow plain by degrees. Beeswax, I reflected, was a sweet that was hidden away secretly but much hunted for and is claimed by a great many drones. It is deposited in out-of the way places to be discovered long after, and the authors are unknown. Beeswax therefore, meant that this was a secret long deposited but now found. Nor must be forgotten that snow was the cause of Bacon’s death. We have here snow and beeswax in curious conjunction; that is to say, the cause of one man’s death and the cause of another man’s immortality are placed; side by side. it is simply preposterous to suppose that this is accci dental. I am not going to anticipate ray book by showing here how I have proved by the in ductive eryptograniic process. The author of “Beautiful 8now” is the author of “The Novtuu Organum.” The word “ flitch ” oc curs six times in “Ragnarok.” “Flitch” of what. The word capeon and snow are on the same page. I have only to say in reply to those un imaginative critics who have not followed the inductive procccs and who want to know how a book can be celebrated before its au thor was born, as would be the case with Bacon’s work if Donnelly wrote it—that the Tubingin school settled that long ago by proving that several of the authoi-s of the gospels died before their work was writ ten. And when you ask me why Donnelly concealed the authorship in this way, I re ply that, that is a part, of the inductive sys tem. Nobody would have believed him if he had claimed the authorship of “Beauti ful Snow” in the usual way. This is an es oteric age, and truth lies in a well. Nym Crinkle.
