6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. HEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A. Negro Killed by a Falling Tree Near Cochran—A Bill for $3 50 Raised to $36 and the Money Obtained—The Pet Snake of Macon Firemen and What It Led To. GEORGIA. J. J. Burch is tho newly elected Mayor of Elberton. Asburv Rochester, of Haralson county, made from one half acre of “big amber” cane 136 gallons of syrup. John Martin. Jr., of Wild Cat district, Haralson county, has found lead in so pure a state, that ho can run it into bullets or cut it with a knife. Hon. John Bonner, of Carrollton, has re cently shipped to East Point about 50,000 feet of fine oak lumber, which will be used in manufacturing wagons. A young woman living near the Georgia factory at Athens got tired of living in single blessedness and Saturday night ran away with another woman’s husband. The Georgia road has notified tho Secre tary of the Northeast Georgia Fair Associa tionthat it will give the same rate to Athens during the fair as it gives to the Piedmont Exposition. Monday last, at Buchanan, three wagons ■were loaded with ore, cotton, corn, and other products, and sent to Tallapoosa for shipment to the Piedmont Exposition. .About 3,000 pounds of iron ore was shipped. The Town Council of Cochran have pur chased two more acres of land adjacent to Weeping Pine cemetery from Judge B. B. Dykes. The old part of the cemetery is not filled with graves by a great deal, but the lots have been all bought up, not for specu lation but for legitimate burial purposes. Sunday night a man by the name of W. R. Bennett was knocked off the depot plat form at Hamlet, on the East, Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rnilroad, about five miles north of Rockmart, and received in- J’ uries from which he will die. How he was mocked off. no one knows, as he wus un conscious when found. The late heavy rain did considerable dam age between Buchanan and Bremen. The bridge over the creek, just this side of Bre men was washed away. Lindsay Holland lost about 100 feet of fence and his crop was damaged, Jeff. Summerlin had atout 325 panels of fence washed away, and ten acres of corn badly damaged. At Augusta Tuesday, at a meeting of the commissioners appointed by Council to consider and report upon the feasibility, advisability and cost of construction of a levee to surround Augusta and prevent future floods from rises in the river, resolu tions were adopted favoring an examination by the City Engineer of the different places. About a week ago, near Bnirdstown, a negro named Bill Cheney was shot by an other negro named McDuffie. Both were visiting the same woman, and jealousy was the cause of the occurrence. Cheney died Tuesday, and the Coroner’s verdict was that Cheney came to his death by a gun-shot wound inflicted by the hand of McDuffie. McDuffie is still at large. A negro man working in the cross-tie business at Cochran for D. M. Ryle & Cos., •was, in company with a large number of choppers, felling trees Monday, when a large tree, in falling, broke a section off of a dead pine, which fell on him, mangling the body frightfully and killing him in stantly. The negro was John Pope, from about Eastman, and was a good hand. An other hand just did escape the unlooked for tree top. Gov. Gordon sent an executive message into the Senate Tuesday to lie considered in executive session, in which the Judge and Solicitor of the county court of Early county, recently established by the General Assem bly, were named. Hon. Thomas Williams was nominated Judge for four years, begin ning with the date of his appointment, and Hon. R. H. Sheffield was named as Solicitor for four years also, beginning with the date of his appointment. No executive session of the Senate was held. A day or so ago a bucket filled with mor tar fell from the scaffolding around the new United States court house at Macon, upon the head of a colored workman. Fortunately, the bucket did not turn in its descent, and struck flat upon the bottom, which burst through, leaving the head of the workman completely encased in the mortar and bucket, just as though a cast was to be made of the head. As it shut off the negro’s breathing it was lucky that another workman was near by to take it off. Anew religious sect has suddenly sprung up, mushroom like, near the Augusta fac tory at Augusta. The new tribe style themselves the “Kainte.” The Salvation Army is completely thrown in the sliale, for, besides the big drum and loud singing, several new features are introduced. The washing of the feet is carried out in perfec tion, and attempts at miraculous cures made. Service was held in a big field recently between Brick and Pine row, at which a large congregation was present. The services wound up with the election of an old woman as the l'aith doc tor. At Macon the Salvation Army has dwindled down to half a dozen men and •women who stir ui> the dust, beat the tam bourine and sing their battle songs on the principal streets. Recently one of the lady captains married a young man named Charlie Thompson, in East Macon, and left the army. “Happy” Jack left them some time ago for more orthodox labor hi the vineyard. It is now about settled that they will be expelled by the city authorities be tween now and the State fair, as it is ex pected they will make themselves very con spicuous and perhaps cause trouble during that time. At Albany a day or two ago L. E. Welch noticed bis aog after something on his front porch, and, on investigation, discovered a led fox on the banister. His coming out frightened the fox, and it run out in the garden and was lost sight of. Later In the afternoon Lennie Welch discovered it again in the front yard. He ran in the house, got his air rifle and shot at it twice, but without effect. Reynard decided it was time to leave, and trotted off down the street, and the last seen of him he was going through Mrs. Brooks’ yard. He is evidently a taine one, as a wild one would hardly venture into the heart of the city. J. E. Russell, of Macon, had a bill against W. C. Lyons for $5, and Tuesday Joe Trippe, who is in charge of the shop, sent a farpentor named Htringfellow to collect it. Htringfellow went out and on his return re ported that there was some misunderstand ing as to the amount, and that Mr. Lyons was willing to pay $3 50. Trippe tol l him to go back and take that amount. Htringfellow again went to Mr. Lyons, who saw that the min Hint had been reduced, anil ordered his lady cashier to pay the bill. In some way, which doe* not now seem clear, a naught was placed after the $3 50, and the cashier, having heen told to iiay the bill. ]iaid $35. Htringfellow returned to Tripjs* and paid him $3 50 and then went away. In a short while the raising of the bill was discovered, and an effort was made to And Htringfellow, but he was nowhere to be found, and the police were instructed to look out for him. A day or two ago a modest young uian from the country came to Americn* to sell hl cotton, and, like many others, received ail his money in big bills. Hu tried all the lank* and uteres in town in a vain effort to get a f 10 bill ■ hanged, and Anally Inilesfwlr entered a Imiitiniiii, and. planking down his money, called for a gigs* of Imer. hoping to pci lie- Uil changed in imymcnt ttiarefor. ihe diamond wearer tohmd the counter was unable to make tin* change, and let Un< fellow go off Witte ait (laying f<<r the liner Tim some giitiw was played at tie- lie*l saloon, and an mi until aiitocn leir room* Lad Iswti vial tad. til ail of which tie man a drink in tie* vain Inaie of grUiug bis money chaugad As In was Uil •- untuned to drinking, iwvw having taken J I one before in his life, he was, of course, up roariously drunk, and had to Is- hauled home in a wagon with his money still unchanged. The boys of the paid (ire department at Macon, often find waiting for tire alarms quite irksome, anil to amuse themselves col lect all sorts of pets. At the truck house several kinds of dogs, from the mite of a black and tan to the tall, lithe greyhound, have served to keep their several owners amused, and not long ago they had a par rot. The latest addition to the collection is a rattlesnake, which Harry Smith keep in a bottle. It is said that liofore the lights are turned down for the night the boys make a special examination of the cork to see if it is secure in the bottle. The other night the foot of one of the boys ramained from un der the blanket some time, and In turning over his cold toe happened to touch his I*<l fellow. He sprang from the bed with a yell, thinking the Rnake had gotten out of the bottle, and the other toys thinking they had been aroused for a fire, jumped into their clothes and wel*e soon slipping down ♦ lie pole into the truck room to find that the horses had not budged and hence no alarm could have been turned in. FLORIDA. Starke’s new bank will open about Nov. 1. There are 850 children in Starke who are not attending school. Starke can now boast of a flourishing lit erary society with lifty members. Palatka’s hotels are doing a good business now, and the indications are good for a largo patronage this winter. A buzzard with a white head and tail was one of the novel sights seen sailing in the air between Como and Pomony Monday. The registration books are now open in each precinct of Bradford county in prepa ration for the coming prohibition election. Kev. J. W. Paterson and family, of Windsor, Fla., have arrived in Starke. Mr. Pateiaon takes charge of the First Baptist church. The attendance at Orange College at Starke is steadily increasing. It is ex pects 1 that at least 150 pupils will be en rolled by Oct. 1. John Uglow, residing one and a half miles west of Starke, brought in last Wednesday, a ripe, well developed strawlierry. Ho says his vines are loaded with blossoms. Como ny.de a shipment of lemons and Japan persimmons Monday to Boston. They were from the grove of Mr. Ittman, on trie southern shore of Lake Como. The Stark band, which has been practicing every Tuesday and Friday for a month, un der the leadership of E. Healy, will soon give an entertainment in full uniform. Several parties from New York have been prospecting with the viow of erecting a saw mill with capacity for 50,000 feet in prox imity to the lakes in the vicinity of Starke. The General Superintendent of the Flori da Railway and Navigation Company has given notice to every station agent along the route, of an order prohibiting the sale of fruit upon the railway premises. At Mims, Monday, while Charles Postell and Robert Rushing were examing a .'l3- calibre pistol the weapon exploded in Rush ing's hands, thp ball entering the left eye of Postell and passing through his brain. He died instantly'. Both men are colored and worked for T. Jones. It is rumorod at Sanford that the anti- Prohibitionists design testing tne validity of the law under which the election of last Thursday was held in Orange county. The grounds alleged are, illegal registration, in timidation. returning unsealed ballot boxes, improper returns, etc. The county’s ma jority for Prohibition was 300. Industrial Co-operation is the name of a new paper to come out soon at Tangerine, under tne editorship of J. H. Foster, a man who has been in the newspaper business since the time he first slung ink under his father’s charge, when editor of the Daily Dispatch , of Pittsburg, Pa., his father having established many loading papers in that city. At Fort Meade B. F. Rice was probably fatally shot Monday night by Marshal Griffin while resisting arrest. Rice has the reputation of l>eing a des|>erate character and endeavored to make it warm for the officer with a clasp knife. The ball from the Marshal’s’pistol struck Rice in the neck, glancing downward and lodging in the shoulder. The Building Committee of the Bradford County Board, upon Saturday last, pur chased for the county from G. W. McKin ney the lot at Sturke, opposite Mr. Katch elhoffer’s, uiion which to build the jail. The price was #O5. The jail will be a two story crick building, 20x33. There will bo six cells, each and about 70,000 brick will lie required. The contract for the brick was awarded to Dr. Gaskins. His bid was 7 05 per 1,000. It is related of a young married man, of Pensacola, who is proud in the paternity of a bright boy of four summers, that he re cently went to dinner, having, since break fast, had the harbor to clip his luxuriant locks as close to the scalp as was possible without a razor. He noticed that it was with some reluctance that his boy gave him his usual fond kiss, but the storm broke forth when, seated at the table, his boy just opposite him, the lad, after looking fixedly at nis father for some montonts, turned to his mother, and, in a tone of the deepest concern, asked: “Mamma, who is that man?" Monday’s Pensacola Commercial: On Friday last, one Nelson, a colored stevedore, was refused labor by the white baymen and longshoremen liecause he was not a member of the contracting stevedore’s asso ciation. He procured the services of a gang of colored men and prosecuted the work without the white labor. The white men protested, and the colored men, at a meet ing held Friday night, resolved to refuse Nelson any more colored labor, and Satur day passi-d without any work havingbeen done on lioard the vessel (the Andrea Papa, an Itulian bark). This morning, however, Nelson again went to work, with a full gang of colored laborers, and the white laborers are waxing wroth at the liehavior of their colored eolaUirera. What course the agita tion, that will now surely ensue, will take, cannot with any certainty be foretold. Postal Changes.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1887. A GEORGIA ROMANCE. How True Friends Secured a Big For tune by Their Fidelity. A pretty little romance has just culmi nated in Rabun county, Georgia. At the have of Tiger mountain, half a mile off the main road leading to Clayton, lives a small farmer named George W. Dillard. Mr. Dillard is about GO years of age, living with his wife and two sous, the latter aged re spectively 30 and 25. Early last summer Mr. Dillard went to his neighborhood post office, where he found awaiting him a letter covered over with post-marks, which de noted that it had traveled a long distance to reach its destination. The superscription was written in a familiar hand, but one which he had not seen in a generation. He tore the seal and read the missive, and, sure enough, found it to to from his wife’s brother, whom he had seen for the last time in 1849. At that time James McCurrie was a young man, as was also George W. Dillard. The news had reached Georgia of the wonderful gold dis coveries in California. Young Georgians who had gone there had written back glow ing accounts of tho fortunes which were being made. These descriptions had the effect of drawing still others southward to the great Eldorado. Among those who were full of the excitement were McCurrie and Dillard. They had perfect**! all ar rangements to go, and were bidding the family good-bye when Dillard faltered. The tearful eyes of McCurrie’s young sister touched his heart, especially as she was weeping for him and not for her brother. Throwing down the bundle he hold in his hands he declared that he would stay if the girl would marry him. To this she cheerfully agreed, so Dillard remained a Georgia fanner, while Mc- Currie jumped into tho stage coach and was borne away. Since that time he had never been heard of. It was with mingled feel ings, therefore, that Dillard started to read the letter from his old comrade. The letter was a soiled one. McCurrie stated that he had worked against adverse fortune, de clining to write to the folks at home until lie could strike it ricu, but every year found him striking it poorer, and now, old, feeble and poor, his great wish was to look once more upon his native hills, that he could not do so unless he was sent money enough upon which to return. Mr. Dillard read the letter to his wife and sons. “We must send him the money,” said the old man, so a cow and a mule were sold and the money went on its mission across the continent. Several weeks’ time brought another letter in which the old man expressed his gratefulness for the kindness done him, but he was too sick to travel then. After that no more wus heard from him. Last Saturday a large official envelope was received at the little post office. It bears the inscription of a strange hand. The neighbors, one by one, dropped by and told Dillard about its ar rival. It was too late for him to get it then, but he was on hand early Monday morning. As he read it his hands trembled. It re cited that James McCurrie was dead; that he wished to test the fidelity of his sister’s family; that their prompt response to his appeal had moved him, and that by his will his property in California, valued at $1,600,- 000, was willed in equal parts to his sister, her husband and their two sons. The two young men are going to California to super intend the property, which they intend to convert into cash, when they will return to Georgia. GEN. PHIL KEARNEY. An Eye Witness to the Brave Soldier’s Death Heard From. William Root, of Kearney’s division, writes to the Jacksonville Times-Union us follows: In reading vour article in regard to the death of Gen. Phil Kearney, at the battle of Chantilly, I did not suppose there was ever uny mystery about how he was killed to those who knew anything about it. Our regiment, the Twentieth Indiana, was in the first brigade of Gen. Kearney’s division, Third army corps, and Gen. Kearney’s and Gen. Stevens’ (the Second division) were se lected to guard the road from Centerville Heights to Fairfax Court House, over which road our army was retreating from the sec ond battle of Bull Run, and this engage-' ment was brought on by the enemy trying to break our linos, and thus cut oif our only moans of getting our immense sup ply, ammunition and ambulance trains to Fairfax Court House. We held our lines after one of the sharpest engagements dur ing the war, which lasted from 4:30 p. in. until dark. Gen. Stevens -vas killed in the early part of the battle. Gen. Kearney or dered the picket detail from our brigade, and any one familiar with Gen. Kearney's picket duty knows full well that after an engagement he would place them in person, so that if he was attacked in the night he knew just where his troops were, and in putting our pickets out about 8 p. m. Gen. Kearney, in company with Capt. Randolph, the Chief of Artillery, was at the head of the column. We did not suppose that the enemy would ad vance their lines, but wo ran into their pickets not more than 350 yards from our Bus of battle, finding them in a small grove of second-growth pine. There were not over a dozen shots from the enemy. We did not fire at all. and no one was killed but Gen. Kearney. His body was sent through the lines at daylight next morning; hence he was not surrounded,as I was not over 300 feet from him when he was killed. We then felt that we had no one to direct us. History has never done Gen. Kearney jus tice. We were the rear guard in the re treat from the front of Richmond, and were in every on that retreat. Gen. Kearney would put out the pickets himself, and this wvas the first time that corps badges were worn by his old division, ours being the Red Diamond, as he said “I want to know every one of my men in this groat movement.” Never was there a di vision of soldiers that loved their gen eral more than we did Gen. Phil Kearney, and to his bravery is due that McClellan’s army reached tho James river. A Marvelous Unguent. From the Kansas City Times Boston Letter. A little while ago I wrote something about anew discovery recently added to the pharmacopoeia by a Boston expert in chem ical science. I have received so many let ters since containing inquiries as to the nature of this “woolfat," and the manner in which it may to obtained, that I suppose I may as well answer them in print. The stuff is not a proprietary remedy. It is merely a substance derived from the wool of sheep by steeping the clippings in hot alcohol. By this process a yel low grease is precipitated, chemi cally identical with an element found in the human bile and in certain vegetables, sueh as peas and beans. This grease lias one very peculiar property. When applied with rubbing it pusses directly through the skin, and in this way acts as a nutrient to the fattv tissues beneath. Thus it has the effect of smoothing out the wrinkles pro duced by the attenuation of these tissues which come with age. An antiquated relative of mine has nearly re moved from her temples the unwelcome footprints of a thousand figurative crow* by six weeks’ use of this marvelous unguent . Likewise, when rubbed upon the scalp, it prevents Imldnexs by supplying to the hair an element of it* growth, tlj luck of which causes it to fallout. It Is useful as a lose for ointments, the active ingredients of which it convoys through the cuticle. To manufacture it In large quantities is oner- 1 raoieJj expensive, but Tt nmy to obtained at retail from the big apothecaries for n small price.

James Henderson, who is distinguished in many characters, among them that of the friend and backer of Dominick F. McCaf frey, pugilist, has essayed to reach fame in another role. Since ho received quite a comfortable little fortune by legacy he has aspired to “go up in a balloon.” He went up on Thursday, Sept. 15, to satisfy his am bition. Several months ago Prof. John Wise, tho Aeronaut, was approached by Mr. Hender son, who was desirous of purchasing a seat in the Professor’s balloon whenever he made liis next ascension. As an evidence of good faith Mr. Henderson pressed upon the oero naut five crisp $lO notes as a retainer. When next the balloonist started upon a trip among the clouds Mr. Henderson was not on hand. He was hunting alligators and eating tropical fruits right from the tree with Mr. McCaffrey in Florida. Prof. Wise, who believes his month’s ex istence not fully rounded unless he has an ascension, concluded that during the Constitutional Centennial celebration would to a good time to go up, but the Centennial Commission declined to invest in an exhibit so lofty. In this emergency the Professor met Mr. Honderson, and suddenly remem bered that he had not yet given value for the crisp $lO notes. An arrangement was made whereby Mr. Henderson was to pay for the gas and thereby secure an ascension in the “Inde pendeuce. ” Mr. Henderson was determined that the balloon ascension, with himself as the par ticular attraction, should not to a failure. He started a subscription among the busi ness men on Broad street, between Diamond and Dauphin. lie raised S7B, paid for tho gas and when the great civic procession started down Broad street that day the bal loon began to fill with gas. Mr. Henderson was the first to jump in, and Prof. Wise’s son John took his place beside him. The Independence slowly rose, the drag-rope was paid out by Prof. W ise. At a height of 1,500 feet she began to move over the city in a southerly direction. When about Point Breeze she descended into a northerly current and came back up Broad street. At Spring Garden street the drag-rope touched the tops of the houses and the balloon swoojied toward the earth. It was a dangerous place to land and young Mr. Wise called upon his companion to throw out some ballast. Honderson seized a tog of ballast, lifted it to the edge of the ear and sixty-five pounds of sand was sifted into tho eyes and mouths of the people be low. HOW GREAT THE DANGER WAS. “Heavens! What have you done?” cried young Wise, and his voice reached Hender son’s ears at an altitude of 6,000 feet. Before the amateur balloonist could reply, the Independence was 10,000 feet above the enrth and still ascending. There was dan ger that the enormous pressure upon the tolloon would burst tho bag and collapse the air-ship. Higher and higher it went, and the great bag was distended until it cracked. Henderson aid not realize his danger, but young Wise did. He seized the valve-rope. The balloon came to a standstill, and hung a mere speck in the sky, 12,000 feet above the city. The aeronauts breathed with dif ficulty. Young Wise clung to the valve rope and the balloon began to descend. It fell in an easterly direction, and at about 5 o’clock landed in a field near Haddonfield, N. J. Mr. Henderson returned to the city that night to receive tho congratulations of his friends. He has been receiving them for several days. ( ITRLHA REMEDIES. SCALY, ITCHY SKIN And All Itching and Scaly Skin and Scalp Diseases Cured by Cuticura. I.JSORIASIS, Eczema, Tetter, Ringworm.
