6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Three Hundred Railroad Hands Add Hundreds of Dollars to the Coffers of Americus Merchants A Negro Buys a Trunk for $1 00 and Finds in it SIOO Worth of Straw Hats. GEORGIA. Greensboro will have a military display to-day. Greene and Walton will lock arms and liiarch side by side. The acorn crop is the largest ever known in Georgia. In Banks county the white oak trees are loaded with them. The crop of sugar cane in Clarke county is very large this year, and the smoke from evaporators ran be seen at every crossroad. A four-year-old son of Lon Gunter, in East Athens, was severely burned by falling into the fire Friday morning, and is in a critical condition. J. E. Maddox, of Athens, has just re ceived a large lop-eared rabbit from Cana da. It cost him 815. He has a number of these animals in all colors. Last Thursday night Mrs. James Horton and Jesse Thornton, brother and sister, died in the same home in Union Point, within two hours of each other. Both were aged and respectable people, well-known iu Greene county. At the bar meeting at Atlanta Saturday Judge Clark said that he would adjourn court during the Piedmont Exposition if the bar desired It. Thereupon Reuben Arnold made a motion to take the sense of the bar, and the vote was unanimous in favor of ad journment. The grand jury of Gwinnett county, Inst week, was composed of sixteen Methodists, six Baptists, and only one non-professor of religion. Thev opened their session with prayer. The herald says there were more ‘‘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. The Ordinary of Clarke county has ordered his levies made for the county for 18S7 as follows; To pay bonded debt 23.62 per cent.: to repair buildings, bridges and fences, 18.0 H per cent: to pay ottlreiV fees, 14.31; to pay Coroner, .48; to pay court expenses, 4.77 per cent.: jurors, 11.54; to pay expenses of poor, 4.77; other charges,!). 11 per cent. Notwith standing heavy expenses Incurred in build ing bridges after the floods, the levy is no greater than last year. 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 “had got too much for his money.” The trunk was filled to the top with Mackinaw straw hats that had lieen packed in it for the winter. The contents of the trunk were worth between 875 and 8100. A young white man with a very red face entered the office at the police headquarters 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 about two years ago, locked him up. 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 Hon. R. B. Russell will be a candidate for the place, and has a strong following at home and in the legislature. Mr. Brown has also strong friends in many part* of the Htatc Hon. A. L. Mitchell will also lie a candidate, and his friends sav he will hold the balance of power, and have a lighting chance ot winning. A. J. Cobb wifi be a candidate for t he House from Clarke. 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 zation of this Association, with the election of officers for the ensuing year. Upon a unanimous vote ,1. J, Ryafs was made mod erator, with Brother Hawkins as assistant and .1 Calloway as clerk, with E. R. Earle as his assistant. After this buainess was over services were held at Isith church,w. Albany AVic.s and Advttiinrr: Farm tenants are seelyng to |ierfoct tlieir arrange merits for another year early, and there is a disposition with most of them to stay where they arc This is a good liultration.

Culfee's deep-seated and unswerving adora tion for this jwrticular variety of the finny tribe is proverbial, and though the mullet may oftimes he eyed with suspicion and dis -1 trust by over-careful epicures, a faint odor ; emanating from a barrel containing t hem but tends to increase his desire for them and 1 has the effect of at once “clinching” the ! trade. 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. Kf .OKI DA. Sumter county will probubly vote on the prohibition question soon. The Sumter County Immigration Conven tion will meet to-morrow. It is lielieved that President Cleveland I will visit Florida in February. The school imilding to be erected in Liu eoluville by William 0. AVorden will lie built of concrete. The leave of absent* granted to Gen. R. 15. Ayres lias Imhui extended one month, so that the General will not return to Nt- Au gustine until some time in November. * • There are at present aliout UN) buildings in process ol' erection in St- Augustine, some of them very tine ones, not including the Ponce tie Leon, Casa Monica mill Alcazar. The prospect* arc that after October 4, there will lie fourteen licensed places in St. Augustine where liquor will |> sold. These places will pay licenses amounting to #N,45().

Most of the safes that were in the Sanford fire have been opened. The contents of all except Mr. Barrett’s have been found in a good condition. Lot lines in the burnt dis trict were lieing run Saturday. The sur veyors lmd to await often for a gust of wind to blow cho smoke away before lines could be found. Orders for-more than 4,000,000 of brick have already been placed. 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 2d Artillery, and floating targets will bo anchored at distances of 1,700 and 3,000 yards. The guns are daily exjiected. A man named Preston Broward, who has been employed selling meat for Mr. Savage, of Orlando, was arrested while drunk on Church st £ et, near Shelby Saturday night, 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 - sonville, Halifax and St. Augustine railroad is to be finished. Notice of incorporation under the general railway acts has been tiled by the following gentlemen; S. J. Fox, 8. Fleming, F. F. Oliveros, George \Y T . Gibbs, Ramon Hernandez, under the name of the St. Augustine and East Coast Rail way Company. The road will Imj imme diately constructed to Daytona, following the line mapped out by the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax railroad, the charter of which grant has expired by limitation. 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. Sumterviiie Timm: We are indebted to our efficient Tax Assessor, D, 0.

A party consisting of six gentlemen and | two laities had one of those terrible ad von t urea that often brings terror to one’s mind for many years to follow. The iiarty start.- ; ed out from St. Augustine on Friday with I the sloop yacht Dream, Capt. Scott in | charge, for the purpose of going outside to I see the ocean spring which lies about five miles from shore. Everything went well until on the home trip, when they hail reached the outer buoy, when the wind all died out leaving tlisni holplms to cross the I sir. There they lay, too, for several hours, hoping the wind Would spring up, but when it did conic, it came in the shape of a norther, which carried away sails aiid jibs, dragging the anchor which Cant. Scott was unable to cut loose. The boat was driven ashore on the crazy lunik off the lighthouse, where the party sinveeded in . making a landing, ami the ladies were gotten ashore, and they remained all night existed to i im fury of to* gala and aiann whici " a* prevailing Early Saturday morning they were diacoverod by ('apt.

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!” GROCERIES.
