week, was composed of sixteen Methodists,
six Baptists, and only one non-professor of

‘‘no’ bills" returned by this jury than it re
members to have seen for years.
Nearly 300 laborers on the eastern exten
sion were brought to Americus Thursday
and paid their month’s wage*. Several
thousand dollars were distributed among
them, and it is safe to estimate that at least
50 per cent, of the sum total found its way
into the cash drawers of the local mer
chants.
Small change was an unknown commod
ity at Americus Saturday, and great incon
venience both to merchants and customers
•like resulted. Dozens of people were run
ning over town in a vain attempt to get a
$6, 810 or S2O bill changed, and a few paid
a premium of 10c. on the dollar for change
of any kind.
Capt. George Council, one of Sumter's
most, energetic and wide-awake farmers,
has already marketed over 200 bales of cot
ton this season, and was complaining Satur
day because he was afraid of only getting
eighty or a 100 more of the present crop.
He runs twenty plows and will make at
least 300 big bales this year, an average of
fifteen to the plow.
The Georgia railroad has run a side track
out to the rock quarry of Mrs. Mullally,
just below the depot, at Sparta, for the pur
pose of getting rock for the pillars of the
Oconee river bridge. They want 500 car
loads for this and other work. There is no
better granite in the State than is at this
quarry, so experts say.
At Macon, Sunday, a negro named Jim
Sims, con fined in the barracks in default of
a fine of 830 for drunk and disorderly
and resisting an officer, entertained the
city and police officials with imitations of
the bellowing of a bull. It was so perfect
that the Chief of Police was in" doubt
whether to include him among the arrests
made by the police or the work done by the
impounding officer.
For some time there has lieen something
entering the poultry yard of Judge D. A.
J. Willis at Howard and relieving the
Judge of his poultry at night, very greatly
to his annoyance. Hence it was resolved to
catch the thief, whereupon a chase was set
on foot and the result, was the capture of
seven large foxes and a wild cat weighing
seventeen pounds, measuring three feet from
‘‘tip to tiD,”and nineteen inches high.
Passengers on the Georgia road report
that a serious shooting affray occurred at
■Rutledge Saturday. The names of the
erties engaged in the affair could not lie
irned, but it seems the difficulty grew out
of the sale of some cotton and the weight.
The owner of the cotton was struck down
by the merchant, and when he arose he had
a pistol in his hand and opened fire on his
assailant, firing three shots, one of which
took effect.

A country negro entered one of the dry
goods stores at Americus .Saturday morning
to purchase a trunk, and after considerable
parleying with the salesman as to the price
asked, finally shouldered one and left, pay
ing 81 50 therefor. In about an hour he
returned with the trunk, saying that, he

the winter. The contents of the trunk
were worth between 875 and 8100.
A young white man with a very red face

of Atlanta, on (Saturday, and asked to be
allowed to see a friend, who had been ar
rested by the police and locked up in a cell.
After he had seen the prisoner he started to
leave, when Capt. Couch halted him and
asked a few questions and comparing his
size and features with the description of
Frank R. Freeman, of Arkansas, for whose
arrest for murder *4OO reward was offered

The contest for the ofth-e of Solicitor Gen
eral in the Athens circuit at the expira
tion of E. T. Brown's term will be a close
and exciting one. It is well known that

The Middle Cherokee Baptist Association
waa in session at Adairsville last week with
delegates frofn thirty other churches, who,
in their reports, show that denomination
in their respective places to lie in a pro
gressive state, with good work for tho mis
sionary cause. Special aeasiona were called
for the transaction of business, the reorgani

Culfee's deep-seated and unswerving adora

At Louisville a few’ days ago E. W. 51c-
Carty had his house broken open. The
house is tolerably high off the ground, and
the burglars took barrels and stood upon
them and opened a window. They took out
everything from the bureau drawers and
scattered them on the floor,and went through
everything in the bedroom. They were
evidently in search of money, for if they
took anything it could not be discovered.
Thu tracks indicated that a woman and child
did the work. Doubtless hlio put the child
in the window, and she watched while it
searched for money. It was a daring piece
of work, for the window entered is at the
front of the house and near the street. There
is no clue as to who the parties are.
Misses Carrie and Mary Croft and Miss
Annie Blackmon spent a very pleasant day
with Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Boyd, in Cham
bei-s county, Alabama, last Monday. As
they wore returning to West Point on Tues
day morning in a carriage furnished by Mr.
Boyd, the team, consisting of a mule and a
horse, became frightened at a passing wagou
containing machinery and dashed to one
side, overturning the vehicle, breaking it
into fragments, snapping the pole in twain
and breaking the traces. The frightened
beasts rushed madly away, leaving the
young ladies under the wreck. The runa
way was witnessed by several persons, who
quickly ran to their rescue. The ladies were
found to tie unhurt, except a few severe
bruises. Their escape was almost miracu
lous.
The belief that Mr. Davis may be induced
to visit Athens during the Northeast (Geor
gia Fair is strengthening, and it is pretty
well understood that a committee will go
from Athens to Beauvoir in a few days.
Hon. Jefferson Davis has promised to be in
Macon Oct. 26, and will probably remain
two or three days. The unveiling of the
liee monument la to come off iu Richmond
Oct. 27. If the Richmond reremonie are
postponed for a few days, Mi’. Davis may
stop in Athens on his way to Richmond, or
may return in t ime to take in the Northeast
Georgia fair on his way from Richmond to
Beauvoir. This trip will probably be ar
ranged for him, going or returning. It is
understood that the City Council,the citizens
of Athens, Mrs. Howell Cobb, the Uni
versity and female colleges will join ill
the invitation to President Davis to visit
Athens.
The Chinese of Atlanta go to Sunday
school, eleven being in one class. Mrs. E.
J. Sanger, who lives at 241 Rawson
street, went, to Atlanta about two years
ago from Boston. There she was connected
with a Congregational church. Dr. Mc-
Kenzie, the pastor, told the members of the
Sunday school there that while a good deal
of money was being spent in sending mis
sionaries to China, Chinamen were living
in heathen darkness right around them, and
he thought it w’ould cost very little to do
missionary work among the Chinese in
Boston. At this suggestion the ladies of
that church went to work and soon organ
ized a Sunday school of eighty-two China
men, who attended regularly and learned
English rapidly. When Mi’s. Sanger came
to Atlanta she found that nothing of the
kind had lieen done. She went around to
the laundries and soon got about all of them
in a Sunday school class at the Church of
the Redeemer.
Americus Recorder: Yesterday morning
we received a copy of the Parijii- Adver
tiser, a paper published at Honolulu, the
capital of the Sandwich Islands. It men
tions the recent arrival in port of the United
States steamer Vandalia, seventeen guns.
The vessel carries a complement of 210 men,
not including officers, and among (he list of
names published is t hat of Cadel, George K.
Cooper, of this city. In a private letter
from him, written since the arrival
of his vessel there, he speaks in
glowing terms of the beautiful island in the
far-off southern sea, and compares it to an
earthly Eden. During the past twelve
months lie has traveled more than iKI.OdO
miles over the trackless ocean, being thirty
seven days on his last voyage between Cal
lao and Honolulu, during which time no
land was sighted or a vessel of any descrip
tion passed. The Vandalia will make a
lengthened stay at Honolulu, after which
she may probably make a cruise in Asiatic
waters.
Albany Xnrs and Advertiser: The ten
dency towards testing the value of new ag
ricultural products in this section with the
end in view of further crop diversification
is very encouraging. The watermelon and
bay crops have lieen a coiniiaratively recent
addition to the inarketanle uredacts of
Dougherty, and the success of the experi
ment is niost gratifying. Other plants are
of equally great value as money crops if we
could but establish the conditions favorable
to their utilization. Broom corn would pay
handsomely If someone would only display
enterprise'enough to establish u broom fac
tory. The profitable operation of the fac
tory is removed from all questions of doubt
by the success of the undertaking in other
localities. There is one other plant to which
the News ansi Advertiser desires to call
the attention of our people; that is the cas
tor bean. It grows most luxuriantly and
fruita must profiflcally In this climate and
soil. There is every reason to believe that
it would prove ajiaying crop if the AUiany
Oil Mill would prepare to extract the oil
from the beans. The same presses now used
by them would answer to press out the oil,
but a different huller would be necessary.
The cost of the additional machinery to
make the castor oil, would tie inconsidora
lile, and prove Of great advantage to the
company. The mill could then crush its
supply of cotton seed, and after its exhau*
tion could work in castor beans. The Wes
tern Castor Oil Mills pay 81 per bushel for
the beans, from which they extract one and
a half gallons of oil worth fully $1.40 per
gallon.

At Fernandina everybody seems rushed
with work. The merchant is increasing his
clerical forces to handle the fall and winter
business, and the railroad and steamship
lines have been doing likewise. The rail
road docks and all the lumber docks are
crowded with lumber. The strike has de
layed shipping somewhat, and the railroads
will be compelled to stop bringing lumber in
if it is not cleared up soon.
Lieut.Wilcox,of the 2d Artillery, has been
engaged in a survey on the North Beach,
near St. Augustine, preparatory to the erec
tion of a water battery, which will be
mounted with two ten-inch rifWl guns, and
two mortars. The battery is intended for
heavy practice work with siege guns by the

A man named Preston Broward, who has

and lodged in the calabooee. About 10 o'clock
he was discovered to lie breathing heavily
and a physician was sent for, but arrived
too late to be of any service, as the man
died within a few minutes. He resided on
Pine street, and leaves a widow and two
small children.
St. Augustine Press: It is said that at
least three members of the Board of County
Commissioners are engaged on as many
different jobs of county work amounting to
hundreds of dollars. This appears to be a
rather singular proceeding, not that the
people do not place implicit faith in the in
tegrity of the meinliers of the board, but it
establishes a bad precedent, and one that
may more than likely create a great deal of
trouble in the future*.
At Chattahoochee, F. B. Snider, of Moun
Pleasant, arrived on Friday’s boat from
Columbus, accompanied by his bride. This
marriage was somewhat romantic. Mr.
Snider left home a few days ago, but would
not confess to his most intimate friends the
object of his journey. When he reached
Columbus he was met by Miss Bailie Harn
mis, who had traveled alone from Ohio to
meet her betrothed. The arrangements
were soon made, and they were united in
the holy bonds of matrimony by Judge
Barber, at the Lawrence House.
St. Augustine is to have anew railway,
or the long proposed extension of the Jack -

At Anthony arson was attempted on
Sept. 21. In a pile of shingles lying against
the storehouse of 11. D. Forbes & Bro., was
found a newspaper, rolled in compact form,
with one end charred, several matches also
charred lying about the ends of the shingles,
and the shingles thoroughly saturated with
kerosene oil. An examination showed that
a deliberate attempt harl been made to tire
the building. The building is occupied by
John Harrison, jeweler and watch re
liairer, and its proximity to several other
buildings would have made their destruc
tion inevitable if the fiend had succeeded in
his design.
The Commissioners of Bradford county
have caused great dissatisfaction at Lawtey
by removing the polling place. At their
session of Bept, 5, upon the petition of a
few persons, thev moved the voting place
of this district (the First) from l>a.wtey to
the Reddish school house, a place about six
miles west of here, a long log house, stand
ing in almost unbroken pine woods. No
liotii-e of the removal was previously given,
whereas the law requires a publication of
such notice for four weeks. The first in
timation I.awtey had of the removal was a
written notice of an election to be held at
the school house. In pursuance of it an
election was held on Sept. 21 to nominate a
man for County Commissioner. Two gen
tlemen were voted for, and each received 16
votes. Now, at the preceding election 116
votes were cast m this district.
Just ten years ago Friday, Sept. 23,
the first death from yellow fever occurred
in .Jacksonville, Ellis Hull being the victim.
Mr. Hull had been over to Fernandina,
where the disease was raging, and came
back to Green Cove Springs, where he re
mained until the disease developed, when
ho was brought to Jacksonville for medical
treatment under the impression that he was
suffering from simple malarial fever, but
after a brief illness he died with black
vomit. The late’ lamented Dr. Welford,
wlio afterward went to Fernandina in re
sjionse to the calls for aid became a victim
to the disease himself, dying only a short
time afterward. From the death of Mr.
Hull, which occurred in what, was then the
old Price house on Cedar street, the disease
continued to spread until some time in No
vember it was declare 1 epidemic. It con
tinued to prevail until finally killed out by
the frosts in December.

A party consisting of six gentlemen and

hoping the wind Would spring up, but
when it did conic, it came in the shape of a

A Mystery of a Sleeping Car Unblush
ingly Unravelled.
Prom Itrake's Tra vetler't Magazine.
“Queerest thing happened on my car
t'other day that I ever heard of,” said a
sleeping!-ar conductor on the New York
Central. “Coming into the city we were a
littlelate.au’ didn't reach town until T':3o
p. ni., when we should have been in by 6.
One of my passengers was a rather elderly
and infirm woman with long, sallow face,
dull, sunken eyes, a languid air, and tawny
hair that was too straight to be pretty. She
was plainly dressed and too homely and
common to’ attract any attention from the
drummers who sat near her. All afternoon
she kept inquiring if we’d get into New York
on time, and appeared very nervous about it.
Finally I told ner we couldn’t get in till
nearly 8 o’clock, and then she said she want -
ed the tise of the stateroom about half
an hour and didn’t want to be disturbed.
Well, I didn’t pay any more attention to
her for soinp time, but just before we arrived
at the Central station I passed through the
car, and sitting there in the seat where the
old woman had been was a girl—as pretty
and bright a girl as I ever saw in my
life, with a round, creamy face, bright eyes
and golden ringlets, and she was beauti
fully dressed.
“ ’Homething wrong here,’ says I to
myself, ‘and I'm going to find out what it
is. So I approached her and asked to see
her train check. She showed it to me and
it was all right.
“ ‘Do you know what has become of the
old party who had this berth last night f I
inquired.
“‘I don’t know anything about any old
party,’ she snapped out as I went away.
“ ‘Some mystery here,’ says I to myself.
‘There’s been a murder, or disappearance,
or an attempt to ride two people on one
ticket, or something, and I’m going to find
out what it is. ’ I hunted all through the
car, and even went forward into the passen
ger coaches, but not a trace could I get of
my old woman jiassenger. By this time I
was thoroughly excited, and as the train
drew into the station I called the company’s
detective, pointed the young woman out to
hitn and told him the strange facts.
“ ‘Look it up,’ says I to him. ‘There’s
been foul play of some sort, sure.’
“The detective accompanied the young
woman to a carriage, and I saw him talk to
her. She laughed, showing a rosy mouth
and pearly teeth, and then Tie laughed until
I thought he would fall to pieces.
“ ‘What’s the trouble!’ says I, as her car
riage drove away.
“ ‘Trouble!’ echoed the detective. ‘There’s
no trouble, except that you are a confounded
idiot. Can’t a pretty young ballet dancer
make her toilet on your car, when she’s
pushed for time, and has to get right from
the train to the theatre, without you sus
pecting her of murder and insulting her!”
