A petition is now being circulated in Taliaferro county for the purpose of obtain ing an election as to the sale of intoxicating liquors here.

Mrs. Charles Brooks died very suddenly at her home near Green Hill, Stewart coun ty, Saturday. Mr. Brooks left his wife after dinner Saturday and went to his work a short distance from the house.

On Monday morning a party of three or four friends were invited to accompany J. A. McDuffie on a little flshisg trip from Brunswick up the Back river.

Some of these were fine fellows, several weighing four or five pounds. It was rumored at Atlanta Wednesday that Commissioner Henderson will ap|s>int Capt. Randolph Ridgoley, of Burke county, Inspector of Fertilizers. Capt.

Ridgeley was a gallant Confederate soldier, and is now Chairman of the Demo cratic Executive Committee, of Burke county. It has been said by some that Glynn county had no clay out of which to make brick, and yet there are brick in Brunswick made at Mr Myers’ place at the head waters of Turtle river, that have been in use thirty years. They have been taken down twice and put into other chimneys, and are as good to-day as they were thirty years ago, when first made. A brickyard within easy reach of that city by water would boa regu lar bonanza to the owners. 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. Marietta Journal: Wo believe Cobb county has the boss cow. In talking with a gentleman the other day, ho said: “l)o you know that Capt. James Lemon, of Aewortb, has a cow that gives seven and eight gallons of milk [>er day!” “No, sir we did not.” “Well,” he continued, “I have lieen informed that he has, and more than that she has made him, by her milk and butter and calves, over *I,OOO. Hhe is no Jersey, either. Besides Capt. Lemon Ims u farm which pays him 33 per cent, on the investment, which ho is running, giving it only such attention ns he can sjiarc from his •tore.” The Senate, in executive session, Wednes day, confirmed the nominations of Hon. Thomas Williams as judge and Hon. R. H. Sheffield m solicitor of tne county court of Early county. Wednesday the Governor will send into the Senate the nomination of Hon. John K. Watson to succeed Dimwit' after the expiration of his term of office as judge of the Lee conuty court. The expira tion takes place on Aug. 24, 183 b, and the Mppoiutuient is for four years from that dale. Thu reason for tho appointment was that there will he no suasion of the Senate after the adjournment of tho present body until Aug. 34, 1333. 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. Diligent inquiry revealed the fad timi re> such negro as .lack Duliose ever worked in the neighborhood of tho Woolfolk*, and it also duino to light tli.it .lack had previously confessed at intervals almost anything that is wicked. It now turns out tlint there is another negro who wants to begin as an actor in this groat tragedy, os witnowioth the Atlanta Journal of Wednesday: “Last night a very old negro hobbled into tho station-house anil asked for a night's lodg mg. Accommodations being plentiful, he was allowed to occupy u osll.

FLORIDA. The school house at Fort Myers is nearing completion. Hernando county scores tho second vic tory for the wets. Polk county is still eating watermelons just from the vine. O. H. Oaks is the new eliief of the Fernan dina fire department. About *s,ooo of the DeSoto county tax for ISBG is uncollected. The fire at Hanford will not interfere with the holding of the Houth Florida Exposi tion. An Arcadia naturalist advertises for 1,000 young alligators, 500 pounds large alligator teeth, 500 roseate, s|Ksmbill wings, and all the alligator skins in the county. Last Monday morning the whole police force of Sanford was arraigned liefore Mayor Lilienthal on the charge of malfeas ance in office and partisan interference with voters at the election on last Thursday. The case was continued. The McMillan Mill Company, of Pine Barren, have graded four miles for a rail road connecting their mill with anew mill of something like 50,000 feet per day ca pacity, the foundation of which they nave laid on the Escambia river. A Crown Point man has the champion pumpkin vine of the State. The seed was never planted, and grew volunteer fashion without any fertilizer. Tim vino is eleven inches in circumference, and from it fully *5 worth of pumpkins have been sold. Sunday night aliout half a mile above Caroville a large, heavily loaded Isiat with cotton and turpentine ran against a dead head, which caused it to turn enough to fill with water, when it sank. The harge is not entirely under water. There are several sunken logs in the river at thus point, and it is resting upon these logs. The damage to the freight is slight. Prof., Henry - Mere is arranging to publish, ut City, the Florida School Journal. The name plainly designates its mission and the field of usefulness it will seek to fill. Prof. Merz propose* that the Journal's ef forts be earnestly devoted to tho cause of education in Florida, and will make it a medium of communication and interchange of thought between the army of instructors sprinkled throughout the State. U. J. White, President of the St. Johns’ and Halifax railroad, is having prepared a garden which will embrace two acres of land. It Is intended to fertilize it well, and have it so situated as to direct the attention of passengers alighting from the train ut Ormond. The idea is to test the adaptabili ty of Florida soil nnd show to the world what Florida can accomplish in the way of raising vegetables and other produce at all seasons of the year. 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 at the time tho article in question was pub lished, the suit has been brought against the 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 *200,000 of the two suits. The article that the plaintiffs consider libelous was a two column “expose” relating to the death of Miss Ida Lewis, which occurred in Jackson ville last winter. The following supervisors of registration have been appointed by the Governor: W. C. Haymanfor Manatee county, Washing ton Montsalvatge for Monroe county, Wil liam Mickler for Ht.

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, which resulted in tho death of one and the serious wounding of the other partici|iunt. It appears that for some time since a young scupegrui-e, John Evan*, has lieen paying attention to the wife of ids victim, Elijah Ball. Mutual feeling, which oxisted from tlieir first meeting, steudilv grew inton deep passion of love, greatly to the and Ist tvs. ami mortification of Ball, He resolved to liuvo au explanation from Evan*. To this end a double-barreled shotgun was procured, and Elijah started in pursuit of the man who roblsri Inin of his wife, and subsequently of his life.
