Americus Recorder: When a wiregrass
bull gets upon the railroad track and bids
defiance to an approaching locomotive, it is
but courtesy that either one or the other
should turn aside and give the right of way,
for “when Greek meets Greet, then comes
the tug of war.” It is a well established
fact that the two cannot pass successfully
on the same track, as recent occurrences
clearly demonstrated. A pro]sir amount of
courtesy should alwuys bo maintained be
tween recognized opi>onents of equal size
and courage, even though they be Georgia
bulls and locomotives.

Capt. Jim liense, of Marari, is responsi
ble for the following: A few days ago, on
one of the Houtbwentaru trains, a couple of
young dudes called on the traiuliand
for a piece of ice, saying they wanted to
take a drink. The ice was forthcoming and
tlie young men took their drink, forgetting
to give one to the truiiihiind. AfU-r ruling
M few miles they called for more ice, which
was brought, and again the irmnluuid was
si.silted After a while tiuty called on him t he
third tine- forks*, and ie- jsu'iijysed them by
haying, "Hsi, the baggage master says he
can't take any more lue from off that corpse
kass it'll spile 1 And the trainband's re
vengeful ha! ha' was board in the I signage
'■ar far above Uw <lln of tbs rapidly whirl
kg train
A short time since, as the train on the
| Svlvania railroad was going out in the
I morning, ami while thundering along at
| the rate of thirteen miles an hour, just
! after it had passed Thomas Parker’s fields
j and was on a down grade run, a three-year
old steer jumped on the track in front of
the engine, and was knocked up in the air
! nearly to the height of the smokestack. 11l
falling his head went between the engine
and the beam to which the pilot is fastened,
and there he lodged. Engineer Meidrim when
his engine struck tho steer, shut off steam and
prepared to jump, thinking the engine
would be thrown from tho track; but, feel
ing no jitr from passing over the animal, he
put on steam and proceeded on his way,
running up to Rocky Ford, three miles dis
tant, carrying the steer on the pilot or cow
catcher. When the train was stopped tho
hands extricated the steer and found that
his shoulder had been crushed and one horn
broken off. He was then killed and sold on
account of the company, and enough was
realized to pay the damage to the owner.
The residence of a white man in the
Seventeenth district of Huinter county is
tieeoniing untenable on account of being
stoned, night and day, since Monday, Sept.
19. A great many of the neighbors have
been drawn to the scene by the occurrence,
and to try to solve the mystery. They
have nearly all seen the stones hurling
through the air, and hit tho house with a
loud crash, but have not been able to dis
cover tho ])ro|ielliiig force. If any of the
tenants go into the field to work the in
visible agency follows them, and
the stones begin to fall thickly around
and they are compelled to run away from
their work. The gentleman's wife is nearly
frightened out of her wits, while a daughter
who had been under medical treatment for
n nervous disease, who was fast recovering,
is now worse off than ever, from the effects
of fright, from the stoning. As yet no clew
to the mysterious cause has been obtained,
but some of the neighbors, who have been
observing and trying to investigate the
occurrence, ascribe it to some foe of the
gentleman, who is trying to ran him away
in order to obtain the place for another
year.
One day last week a Mr. English, who
lives a mile or two from Americus, was
driving a loaded wagon down tho long steep
hill just beyond the Muekalee bridges, when
he heard a big lumbering noise behind him.
On looking buck he was terrified to see a
four mule team running away and driver
less, with a wagon loaded with four bales of
cotton. The negro had dismounted to lock
a wheel, when the mules started to run
down the steep hill. One of tho wheel
mules fell, doubling its neck back under
him, which probably saved Mr. English.
He whipped up his team and started
at a fearful rate for the bottom, as it was
impossible to turn aside on account of the
deep gully on each side of the road. As the
rear wagon gained on him he turned his
whip on the lead mules, and by popping it
in their faces caused them to ran off to the
side, throwing a wheei into the gully and
stopping the wagon. The mule that was
dragged down the hill was quickly liberated
and found not to lie hurt, but badly skinned.
Mr. English was terribly frightened, and
says that he’ll always wait for heavy wagons
to precede him hereafter in descending that
place.
An old widower, in Americus, has a fine
jiatch of turnips, which very few can boast
of here abouts on account of the drought,
and he also hus a neighbor, who is, we be
lieve a widow. She owns a fine lot of chick
ens, and they fly over the fence and depre
date on the widower’s turnip greens. He
expostulated with the lady and lieggod her
to chop her chickens’ wings. This she posi
tively refused to do, and tho widower set a
trap in his turnips, cuught several chickens,
clipped their wings and threw them over
the fence. The woman didn’t like
this operation and she determined
to break up the trap. One
morning last week, she got up while it was
dark, scaled the fence and sought for tho
trap. Hhe found it, and the neighbor soon
found her. Hhe was caught in u steel trap,
and the way she sent up a most unmusical
yell would nave caused a Comanche chief to
hide his head in shame. It aroused that
section, and the widower ran out to see
what was the matter. He quickly relieved
her, and the steel trap is gone, but the
chickens don’t eat his turnip greens auy
more. They don’t speak either, and she
won’t look over that way.
Avery serious difficulty occurred just
across the Gwinnett county liue in Hall
county recently. The particulars are
about as follows: It seems that a
misunderstanding arose between W. F.
Wilder and Charles Maddox, of Gwinnett
county, about some puppies, which termi
nated in Maddox drawing an ax upon
Wilder, for which a warrant was taken out
for his arrest. Before tho trial the parties
agreed to settle tlieir differences,
and the warrant was dismissed. Maddox's
wife then swore out two warrants, ouo
against Wilder, and the other against his
sister. In retaliation Wilder took out a
warrant for Maddox and placed it in tho
hands of Bailiff Patrick. To avoid arrest,
Maddox stepped off into Hall county, where
he was pursued by the bailiff and Ins posse.
They found him at Hiram Clark’s blit lie
refused to submit to arrest, and made battle
with an axe, inflicting a serious wound
across the arm of J. A. Durham,
one of the arresting party cutting it to the
bone, a length of five inchos, between the
elbow and shoulder. Durham then shot
Maddox in the hip, the ball lodging near the
region of tho kidneys. The wound is re
garded as a dangerous one, and Maddox is
unable to be moved. His condition is so
critical that there are great fears that it
will prove fatal.
The woman who carried her newborn
babe out into a grove on Fortune street, in
the extreme eastern portion of Atlanta,
Monday last, and left it dead, has lieen
located liy Capt. Mercer and Detective
Buchanan, but has not lieen arrested yet.
Hhe is in an extremely critical condition.
After locating tho woman, the detective as
certained that she was extremely ill, and
securing the name of the physician who was
waiting upon her, called to see him. The
physician’s statement was of such a charac
ter as to strengthen the detective's suspicion.
He had lieen called to see the woman after
Slie became a mother, but found no child,
nnd from the mother heard u plausible story.
The detective then found the mother of the
woman, who informed him that she had
talked with ner daughter, and that the
daughter hail admitted giving birth to the
child, but said that it was premature.
Tho husband of the woman was seen by
the detective, and assert**! that he knew
nothing or the affair. Before completing
his work Detective Buchanan became satis
fied that the woman, ufter giving birth to
tho child, walked out to tne grove, and
dropping it, went liack home. No urrest
has bran made because the woman’s condi
tion prevents it. Hhe may never recover.
The detective declines to make known the
name of tho woiuun for the present.
A short/time ago. Jack Diißoho made an
alleged confession, in which he said he was
one of a party of four negroes who mur
dered tho Woolfolk family - nour Macon.

Notices have been served bv United States
Marshal Bird on all the stockholders of the
Jacksonville News-Herald in the libel suits
brought in the United States Court by Mr.
Lewis and Mrs. Calvano, of Massachusetts,
each for the sum of *IOO,OOO, making a total
of *200,000 for both suits. As the News-
Herahl was not an incorporated company

stockholders as partners. Under the
laws of the State of Florida, each partner
doing business in n partnership is individ
ually liable for the full amount of the firm’s
debts, and of any judgment that might be
found against them. This makes any one
member individually responsible for the full

the plaintiffs consider libelous was a two
column “expose” relating to the death of
Miss Ida Lewis, which occurred in Jackson
ville last winter.

Ormond -on - tho - Halifax correspondent
Palatka News: A great fault with many
who come to anew country is lack of sys
tem. Before you strike a blow to cut a tree,
or take a spade to set a building post, lay
out your plans for your uew home, plans
that will be in perfect order and system,
and pleasing and satisfactory for fifty years
hence. First drive three stakes for your
base line to work from, parallel with the
road, river or whatever you wish your
house to face. It took me two days to set
those three stakes, and estab
lish my base line in the
woods and tangle-foot, but it paid, for I
have been working by tliut line for eleven
years. My house, barn, cldcken-hnuse and
other buildings are set by that line, eitlier
]hi nil lei or at, right angles with it. My
avenues, walks, road to beach, causeway
and wharf to the river, every grove, tree,
shrub and plant are laid out or set by that
line. I use two measuring poles, one 25 teet,
the other Ifeet, lay off rows 35 feet each
way, put standard trees at the corners,
and smaller trees or plants at 12‘.j
feet between, or 6%, or set in
the centre of the square. My walks are in
the centre of two rows of standard trees,
and flower beds each side of walks. My
nutwery rows are on a line with standard
trees in groves, just 3 feet I,’qi indies upart,
so if 1 wish to leave a tree in place, it will be
in the proper place, as every eighth row is
in u line with stutidmil. If one commences
with u plun or system from the start, every
thing works so much nicer, there* is no clash
iug, no taking up or replacing.
A shooting affray occurred at Port. Orange
between two colored men Sunday night,

“Up to a few weeks ago I considered my
self the champion Dyspeptic of America.
During the years that I have been afflicted
I have tried almost everything claimed to
lie a specific fo'r Dyspepsia in the hope of
finding something that would afford per
manent relief. I uad about made up my
mind to abandon all medicines when I
noticed an indorsement of Simmons Liver
Regulator by a prominent Georgian, a
jurist whom I knew, and concluded to try
its effects in my raise. I have used but two
bottles, and am satisfied that I have struck
the right thing at last. I felt its beneficial
effects almost immediately. Unlike ail
other preparations of a similar kind, no
special instructions are required as to what
one shall or shall not eat. This fact alone
ought to commend it to all troubled with
