Dorman, an industrious jady of Sumter county, has a quilt coin bosed of 22,000 pieces of cloth, all noatl v Pitched together, and there are an average #f about twenty stitches to each piece of “loth. Mrs. Dorman was two years in mak ing the quilt, doing the work at odd times. It will he sent to Atlanta and placed with the Suniter exhibit. In t,b past two days two young men of A morions ha vo struck it rich in the way of drawing newspaper prizes, one of them par ticularly so. Edgar Duncan, the deaf mute, drew $5 in cash in the .S'lumj/ South distri bution of presents and J. C. Brown, it young tnan of the same county, drew £IOO in the lame distribution. They received their money per express, and were correspond tnglv'happy. Rev. D. J. Apporson, possibly the oldest Free-Will Raptist in the State, was in Amerieus Thursday, en route to Pleasant ftrove, in Calhoun county, where the Chat tahoochee United Free-Will Baptist Asso ciation convened Thursday night. Mr. Ap person is a very old man, and has been preaching fifty years, and has been instru mental in the conversion of thousands of people.

A sample of coal, front the Brown mine bear Fort Gaines, was submitted by Hon. W. J . Greene to chemical analysis by a corps of distinguished and skillful chemists m Atlanta, and they unanimously pronounced It the finest samplos they had ever seen in this country, being none other than the gen uine and world famous cannel coal. Tills is said to be far superior to any Southern coal, and is especially recommended as a heat generator for either steam or heating pur poses. Mr. Brown is satisfied that he has an inexhaustible supply; so now all he has to do is to arrange for putting it on the mar ket. A prominent cotton buyer of Athens has filed suit against the Western Union Tele graph Company for damages, owing to the missending of a word in a telegram. It seems that two words were used—“sniffle” and “snifle,” but with entire different mean ing. The buyer received the word “sniffle.” He thought there was a mistake, and wired back to know if “snifie” was not meant. The answer stated that the proper word was “sniffle.” The merchant shaped his tran sactions accordingly, and experienced a loss of SI,BOO. He has employed able eounsel and filed suit against the Western Union for a recovery of this amount. It is said that there have bom similar eaies in courts, and that the principle has been sustained. C. C. Balk com, of Macon, has in his pos session acopy of the Federal Union, pub lished at Milledgeville, and bearing date of July it, 1834.

It also states that Benjamin K. Butler was nominated by the President to lie Attorney General of the United States, and confirmed by t he Senate. The paper presents some queer features when compared with the newspa]ers of to day. In Dodge county hist week, .1. W. Notes’ eldest son, V. right, aged 1) years, was the victim fit a fatal accident. The gin arrange ment. is of the old style— lever (drawn around by horse power) with “king post" and “stir rup'’ fixtures. The lad was riding around on the lever, sitting backward to the im pending danger. While in this jxisition he lost, his life, liems drawn under or between the stirrups of the hand wheel (an aperture of about two inches) and the moving lever, striking the unfortunate bov about the spinal region crushed him internally. At this juncture the mutes drawing the machin ery were stopped, hut to relieve the lad it whs necessar} to reverse the action of the machinery. This was almost death to the already seriously wounded boy, and he lived but a few hours thereafter. An Important attachment nisi was heard by Judge Bovver. Wednesday, in which the Jones A Rio., of ('miiiUa. and their creditors were parties. When Jones & Bro, became insolvent their creditors filed a bill for in junction and prayed for an order appoint ing a receiver to take charge of the assets. These were granted, and G. W. Swindle was appointed temporary receiver. The creditors claimed that Jones & Bro. delayed in responding to the demands made of them, and an attachment uisi was issued re i miring the defendants to show cause why they should not lie punished for contempt of court. This was heard Wednesday by Judge Bower, the defendants producing their answer. Counsel for the creditors ob jected to the answer on the ground that it was not full and explicit, and was not re sponsive to the allegations contained in the bill. The Chancellor sustained the objec tions, and ordered that the defendants an swer more fully and specifically at the next term of Baker Superior Court, until which time a further hearing of the case is con tinued. A very sail mistake occurred at Crawford Tuesday night, in which Rev. J. L. Revill was, struck in the breast with a smoothing iron bv Joseph (’. Jordan. Rev. Mr. Revill is about 70 years of age. in feeble lieuJtli and is hard of hearing. He was stopping with Dr. Harris, and after supper lie decided to go to the residence of Mr. Jordan to spend the tvght. When lie arrived Mr. Jordan had retired. Mr. Revili aroused him by knocking. Mr. Jordan asked repeatedly who w-as at the door, but a- he received no reply be thought, he had a burglar to deal with. He examined his pistol which proved to be out of fix. Then, arming himself with u flatiron, be cautiously opened the door and struck the Supposed burglar in the breast with the heavy weapon. The man fell to the ground senseless Mr. Jordan examined the body, and to his horror found t hat instead of lieing a burglar it was that of his venerable friend. Rev. Air. Revill. Tho body was carefully removed into the house, where every possible attention was ren ilered. It was thought for a time that Mr. Revill was dead, bin, finally he recovered consciousness. The exact extent of bis in juries were not known at last accounts. Elborton Leader: A Gainesville lady re lated to us this week a bit of unwritten Confederate history. Away back in the sixties when the struggles between the people of the North and thorn of the South wei-e raging upon the field of gore and glory, Hon. Jefferson Davis was lieing tossed upon the waves of adversity and blown about by every contrary wind, while millions of loyal Southerners pravod and worked for him and his cause. In those trying days a lady of wealth and reflne- ment lived in Atlanta, Ga., only a short dis tance from where the Hill monument, now stands; which Mr. Davis saw unveiled. This lady cultivated a yard of beautiful flowers ; of various kinds,and once when the s. ,nmer roses bloomed and wasted their odor to the desert air she gathered them and made for her honored chieftain a literal bed of roses. This incident has never appeared in print, but such devotion on the part of Southern womanhood to a cause in which her dear ones sacrificed their lives is worthy of narration. The solace of such a woman’s sympathy must have cheered the President of a dying infant nation even if he never slept on the bed of roses made by tender and loving hands. In Glascock cohnty are a young man and a young lady, who concluded that they were made for each other and should be one. The parents objected on account of their youth, and to break tip the mats'll instructed Judge Calhoun, Ordinary, not to issue license to them. A colored man came to this place and inquired where the post office was. Being shown it, ho walked into Whitley's store, and soidtoonoof the clerks: “1 wants ter buy a par er licenses.” He was told that, although carrying a good line of mer chandise, the firm did not deal in marriage licenses, and was directed to the Ordinary. His business Was soon made known to Judge Calhoun, and with a smile playing about his countenance at the prosjiect of his fee, the Ordinary asked t he name of the par ties w ho wished to be united in matrimony. The darkey gave the names of the parties whose parents had requested Judge Calhoun not to let them have a license, but called them by their given names. Not suspect ing who they really were, and thinking they were negroes, the Judge issued the license, and placed the abbreviation “Col.” after the name of each of the eontraetirig parties. Theda iky departed with the license. Armed with the proper authority, the young couple hunted up'a msticeof the peace, who, having scratched off the terms "C 01.,” pronounced them man and wife.

Oakland Sun: In a conversation with W. C. C. Killgore, of Wildwood, we learned the following interesting facts: The famous 800-acre orange grove—the largest, in the world —of Ralph King, originally of Cleve land, 0., is making fair progress. About 200 acres are now in grove, of which 130 acres arc bearing, in spots. This portion of it was originally a wild grove, and since March has Men budded with sweet stock, fifty hands being employed at first, but about thirty now. It cost about $35,000 at the start, and $50,000 has since been de po-,iti-d for improvements. It will take about four years more to complete this great grove, which will then he without a peer. It is to be enclosed with a strong wire fence, 6 feet, high, to prevent deer from jumping over. Since Mr. Papot has been in business in Orlando he has reduced the price of brick front sls to $8 75 per thousand, shingles from $5 to $3 50, and lumber from $25 to sl4.

Papot and Bowman went to Sanford Thursday to sell Tallahassoe brick, and they report selling 1,400,000 brick in just seven hours. Mr. Papot says he never saw a more determined anil hope ful people in his life, and thinks that though the fire is a temporary set back it will in the end be a benefit. His sales amounted to $12,600. It will take 233 cars to carry the brick, or sixteen locomotives pulling four teen cars each. Fort Ogden Slews: The reported sale of 30,000 head of cattle by Hon. Z. King, was confirmed by a general inspection and esti mate on the range last week, and an unu sual number of tired horsemen and jailed hin-ses upon our streets at nightfall was the visible evidence that the actual delivery of that vast herd to the Manatee Cattle Com pany was in progress. This is the first move of the company toward the establish ment here of a boot-canning factory, which will dispose of the annual product of a herd of 40,100 head. Lands are being selected for closer grazing and improvements in the quality of the range, and eventually of the grade of beef fed.

Tucker, who resides with his father at Buffalo Ford, on Peace creek, about seventeen miles from Bartow, con eluded he would accompany his father to Bartow lust Tuesday, so he shouldered his rifle and started through the woods, placing a younger brother in the wagon to drive, lie had not gone far liefore he Captured a young fawn, and when he had traveled aliout three miles toward the city he ran upon a large panther making his dinner out of tho carcass of a grown deer she had just killed. A bullet through her heart from the trusty rifle of Mr. Tucker brought her to the dust. The panther measured 7 feet front tip to tip, and the scalp, on showing it to the Judge of the County Court, brought him $5 as a reward from the county, be sides ho has the skin to sell. He also sold the fawn at once for $5, making a profitable day out of a necessary trip to the city. The Tampa Tribune of Thursday says; “Great excitement was caused in our city on Wednesday by the report that Mr. Mc- Ivittzie, one of our well-known citizens, had the yellow fever, and that there were quite j a number of other cases in the place. The office of I)r. Wall was soon besieged by a crowd of anxious and excited imiuirers. The doctor told all who asked that the case had all the symptoms of yellow fever, but that there were quite a number of cases of dengue in the city, and that, this mightonly Ih. an aggravated case, caused by the habits of the patient, and advised all who felt frightened to leave town. Dr. Plummer, of Key West, happened to lie in town, visited the ease, and agreed with Dr. Wall Dr. King Wylly, President of the State Quaran tine Association, a physician of large ex perience in yellow fever, was telegraphed I for, and arrived about :t o’clock in tne after ! noon, was |x>sitive that all of them but Mc- Kenzie was dengue, and rather believed that his might only lie an aggravated case, and said he could not with justice pronounce it yellow fever, although there were strong symptoms of it. He telegraphed this opinion all along the line, and declined to establish a quarantine against Tunn>a until further developments. Mr. McKenzie died last night. There ure syieisU csi's of den gue in the city, and wdiethor there is yellow fever or not is not yet satisfactorily devel oped. Some think oho way some another, but we hope for the host, and trust that it may only prove to be dengue fever. At any rate the disease, if hei-e, can only lie in a mild form this late in the season, and can soon tie stamped out.” * "Rough on Itch.” “Hough on Itch” cures skin humors, erup tions, ring worm, tetter, salt rheum, frosted feet, chilblains, itch, ivy poison, barber’s itch. 50c. jars.
