Quitman county was well represented at
the Atlanta show. A few have returned,
and it is amusing to hear the various re
ports. Some say that while it is no big
thing, it is a very good exhibit, and fully
worth the worry and exjienso to see, while
others say it is a complete swindle. Others
say that to one who lias never seen the Gate
City of tho State, it is worth the low rate of
travel to see the city. One man re|x>rts
that the show is a swindle, and an oppor
tunity to gouge unsuspecting visitors, und
that it was not uncommon to charge a coun
tryman $3 for leaning against a lamp post
in the absence of a seat, to rest his tired
limbs and body.
Last Sunday morning, among the pas
sengers on one of the southbound East Ten
nessee trains that stopped at East Rome to
take breakfast, were a Bostonian, his wife
and children, and a colored nurse. The
Boston man led his proeession into tlie din
ing room of Langford’s restaurant, and un
dertook to seat them all, the nurse included,
at a table. Mr. Igingford’s attention was
immediately called to the matter, and he
went at once to the man and informed him
that he could allow no such proceeding at
his house. The Bostonian became indignant,
whereupon Langford ordered liim out Tho
affair created quite a little excitement in
East Romo at the time, and was the talk of
aJI.
Saturday morning the town hall, one of
the oldest landmarks in Athens, was sold to
the highest bidder by Chief Oliver. This
old hall has been an eye-soro to the people
of the city for a long time, and every effort
lias been made to get it out of the way. Tlie
town hall has been the scene of many a
bard-fought political contest and midnight
carousal, it has been used for everything,
from a theatre to church purposes; from
political speaking to negro break-downs. It,
however, lias seen its day, and Saturday
the Chief of Police knocked it down to
Hiram Crawford for SBO2, the brick and
rock lieing reserved by the city. Mr. Hiram
Crawford will move the old building on his
lot, and turn it into a livery stable. It was
built in 1847.
At Chaunoey Dr. J. 0. Montgomery had
his right leg broken, about 2 o’clock Tues
day morning. He had been very sick for
several weeks, and had only been out on the
streets a few days, and had started to At
lanta to meet a physician there in consulta
tion. and getting to the warehouse crossing
on the track, found it to be blockaded by a
freight train, that hail been standing there
for over two hours. He, with several other
gentlemen, started to cross over on a coal
car, and, passing to tho end of the car,
getting on the coupling, went to jump off,
when one of his feet caught in the coupling,
twisting his leg, causing the log to break.
The crack was heard by parties several
paces off. It is thought that Dr. Montgom
ery has a case against the road, and will
prosecute it, unless settled outside of the
court house.

striking Barnes in the back and passing
through his body, struck another negro in
the temple, knocking him down. The mur
derer escaped under cover of the darkness.
Messrs. Camp Bros., of Campville, have

interest, and expect to have an immense
throng of tourists into the State the coming
winter. An awakened interest in Florida
is already manifest, and traveling passenger
agents are looking forward with groat ex
jMs-tation to their convention in Jackson
ville on Jan. 10, and expect a royal recep
tion. From sixty to seventy-five will go
from Chicago alone. The Slate needs more
general advertising in the Northwest.”
Tlie timber shippers of Pensacola former
ly named what stevedores should load their

sons were refused licenses by the pilot com
missioners, ami one colored stevedore who
was granted a permit for a license, was re
fused a license until he stood another ex
amination. Judge McClellan Tuesday de
cided that the Board of Pilot Commission
ers had no right to appoint a board of ex
aminers, and that it had no control over
licenses. This decision upsets all calcula
tions and combinations for the winter, and
the outcome is eagerly looked for by all par
ties.
The City Council has placed a patrol of
ton men on the outskirts of Orlando to keep
a watch out for stragglers from the direc
tion of Tampa. The City Marshal has been
appointed chief of this force, w-ho is to see
that they arc properly distributed to guard
the city. These men are to report to the
Marshal at 5 o’clock a. m. each day to re
ceive their instructions, and shall remain on
duty until sundown, when they will lie re
lieved by a night force, which shall patrol
the outskirts until morning. Each member
of tlie Board of Aldermen is to have super
vision of a designated beat, and is to see
that tlie instructions are carried out. A
quarantine station is established at some,
point out of town, at which all parties not"
able to give the proper account of them
selves will be detained.
C. W. Witte, a Western Union Telegraph
operator at Jacksonville, who jokingly told
a woman operator at Tallahassee that there
were 350 cases of yellow fever at Jackson
ville, appeared before a committee of citi
zens Tuesday ut the instance of Superin
tendent Dillon and explained how he came
to send tlie report. Tlie committee, consist
ing of J. J. Daniel, Neal Mitchell, M. D.,
John Q. Burbrldge, J. H. Durkee, and C.
H. Jones, recommended “thut you accept
Mr. Witte’s resignation and terminate
las connection with the office im
mediately and withhold any pay
that may bo due him for services rendered.
It is proper to sav in this connection that,
but for the fact of Mr. Witte’s having pre
viously tendered his resignation we should
have been disposed to suggest the infliction
of a penalty less than that of dishonorable
discharge, but somewhat more commensu
rate with tlie gravity of the offense. It is
our opinion further that tho offense of the
Tallahassee operator, if on further investi
gation the facts in her case bo proven to tie
as stated, is equally grave, lieing mitigated
only by her inexperience. We would recom
mend, "therefore, if the facts brought before
us be substantiated, that she be subjected to
punishment in some form equivalent to that
which we have recommended in the case of
Mr. Witte.”
Tho Rev. Sidney Crawford, pastor of the
Congregational church in Tampa, writes
Rev. Sir. Gale, of Jacksonville, the Home
Missionary Su[>erintendent for Florida,
thatfhe is holding the fort alone with the
exception of his Catholic friend, the priest.
He is the only Protestant minister who is
attending the sick and dying, but there is
one other there “who is sick with the dis
ease.” He says he finds it “rather romantic
to think how I am walking about among
the dead and dying, hut for the last three
weeks I have attended only one funeral,
and before the stampede became general
the other ministers attended three or four.

while sixty or seventy have been sick.”
This would seem to be a little satire
on some of the wild report* as well as
a serious correction of them. “The violence
of the disease,” he writes, "has ranged all
tho way from a stiff neck to a moderately
lively break-bone fever. I visited twenty
live of tho sick people to-day (Oct. 12), and
a more comfortably sick set of people I
hardly ever saw. Some I met up and
dressed; some had gotten out of doors; some
were exclaiming, *Oh! how my back aches,
etc.’” Mr. Gale says that the Rev. Mr.
Crawford is a faithful and beloved pastor,
as his works show, and that it is just as true
that ho never lias been a foolhardy man,
and it is probable that he is not such now
and that he is a man of family, reputation
and livelihood, and has as much to live for
as any man.
“Git I” and They Got.
From the Hartwell (da.) Sun.
Mai. J. H. Skelton related in our hearing
the following diverting incidents of the
sanguinary battle of Shurpsburg or Autie
tam:
Gen. Barksdale drew his brigade up in
line, and addressed them in substance as
follows:
“Men, upon this battle hangs in all proba
bility the destiny of the Confederacy, the
destiny of our beloved homos, the destiny of
oar property, tlie destiny of our fathers, of
our mothers, of our wives, of our sweet
hearts; then let every man of us be a ‘hero
in the strife’ and acquit ourselves like men.
If there lie a man among you that possesses
none of these precious things thot I have
just enumerated, and feels that he has noth
ing to battle for, if he will step to the front
I will give him permission to retire to igno
minious safety.”
At this juncture two lean, lank, dirt
eating looking shadows of men stepped to
the front, and one of them in nasal tones
drawled out:
“Gen’rul, me’n him,” pointing to his com
rade, “haiu’t got no home, no pappy, no
mammy, no wife, no sweetheart, an nary
nigger—kin we go?”
The General looked at them with wither
ing scorn for a few seconds, and then point
ing to the woods in the roar, thundered —
“Git I” And they got.
While the battle was at its height, and
the cannons’ thunder fairly made the ground
quake, and tho shells and grapeshot
shrieked through the murky air like verita
ble demons, Gen. “Ranse” Wright saw a
fellow running out of tho fight like a scared
rabbit. The General drew his pistol, and,
putting spurs to his horse, intercepted the
recreant soldier and shouted to him:
“Go back to your place, sir; go back, or
I’ll shoot you ! ”
The frightened skulker yelled hack:
“Shoot and tie d—— to you; them fellers
hev got ad sight bigger guns than
you hev I” and, darting under the General’s
horse's telly, incontinently took to his heels.
The above yarns of Maj. Skelton recalls
to our mind the witty pun of an old “Johnny
Reb” on the march to Hagerstown, Md.,
just before the battle of Sharpsburg. Many
of the soldiers were barefoot, and the soles
of their feet were worn and bleeding. Our
company which had been detailed as rear
guard, had halted in the road for a mo
ment's rest. One old fellow, Joe McCracken,
sitting on the roadside, held his feet up for
the Captain’s inspection and pointing to
huge stonebruises on either foot, said in
lugubrious tones:
“Cap’n, these are the (lays that try men’s
soles!”
Tho company groaned, while some of
them cried, “Kill him on the spot.”
McCracken had his arm disabled by a
shaiqisliooter’s bullet in the trenches around
Petersburg, but refusing a discharge, was
among the few ragged rebs that grounded
their arms when the sun of the Confederacy
went down behind the hills of Appomattox.
The Fighting Man.
From the Griffin ( Ga .) News.
Before the war I lived in a small moun
tain village noted far and wide for its
numerous “doggeries” and for its fisticuff
fights.
A young farmer named Hammerslag.who
had been to the gold mines of California
and returned with a fortune of SI,OOO.
sought to increase his ducats, as well as his
social position, by opening a rather stylish
place with the usual stock of French brandy,
so-called, rum, gin, whisky, etc.
Mr. Hammerslag was a small, delicate
man, but having traveled, was disposed to
put on airs with his mountaineer customers,
thereby giving offense to the rowdy ele
ment, so that on several occasions they
handled him quite roughly. But, being a
man of resources, he rose equal to tho
emergency. There lived in the mountains
near by a big, raw-boned, freckle-faced
youth of 22, 6 feet 6 inches tall,
weighing 240 pounds, and thin at
that, whom Hammerslag employed at tho
magnificent salary of $lO a month and
board, drinks included, to do his fighting.
London, that was his name, was as strong
as he was high, and was as brave as he was
good natured. But ho knew his business
and was always on hand when there was a
row. At a nod from the proprietor he would
put out or throw out a noisy or turbulent
customer without ceremony, always telling
him that “he was hired to do the fighting
for that concern.”
On one occasion three of tho leading bul
lies of the county concluded to clean out tiie
doggery and whip London. All throe
tackled him at the same time. Ho grabbed
one by the seat of liis breeches and nape of
the neck and pitched him out of the back
window. He caught each of the other two
by their coat collars and proceeded to butt
their heads together with a force that mac le
them see stars, asking at each concussion
if they had enough. After giving them
bloody noses and sore heads ho turned them
loose in a quiet, good-natured way, telling
them to come again when they wanted a
little fun. So crestfallen were they that
they wore not seen in the village again in
six months.
London, the fighting man, was respected
thereafter by the rowdies.
Save the Handcuffs.
From the Americus (Ga.) Recorder.
One day last week Sheriff Markett wanted
a negro in Andersonvillo arrested. Not
having a deputy at hand, they all being
busy in the court, he swore in Mr. Peek of
that neighborhood, who is well known in
this vicinity for his eccentricities. Peek was
very much elated at being made a bailiff
temporarily, and determined to make his
arrest in great style.
Up to Andersonville lie went, found his
man, and in a very authoritative manner
told him lie was under arrest, at tho same
time clapping on tho handcuffs. Tho negro
didn’t like the manner in which tlie arrest
was made, and without any more ceremony
than was necessary he got onto his legs and
ran away, handcuffs and all. Peek, being
a cripple, could do nothing but stand and
yeli at the floeing darkey. Almost para
lyzed, he made lus way to the telegraph
office, and telegraphed to tho Sheriff what
to do.
The Sheriff sent the very characteristic
message:
“Save tho haudeuffs, any how.”
Peek hunted the neighborhood over, but
no darkey.
Saturday morning the court house offi
cials were sent into rears of laughter by the
appearance of the lately arrested darkey,
who still had on his handcuffs, who quietly
gave himself up, saying he didn’t want
to be arrested in a high-toned way, any
how.
Peek hasn’t been in town since.
Constipation Has Many Victims,
And the ondeavor to find relief with the

to time and again, until the sufferer is al
most in despair, as lie gains only a brief
respite.
By taking Simmons Liver Regulator, the
bowels will tie gently moved, as naturally as
if no medicine had been taken. Regularity
in taking tiie medicine will soon effect a
permanent relief.

A DRUMMER’S ADVENTURE.
How a Joke Turned Out to be in
Favor of the Victim.
From the Americus (Ga.) Recorder.
Last week when tho Americus, Preston
and Lumpkin passenger train made its first
through trip to Abbeville a prominent
Americus drummer, who will be nameless
on account of his excessive modesty and
good looks, boarded the train, with the de
termination to take a lot of orders or die.
No matter whom he met, or where he was,
he had made up his mind that he would
paralyze the house with his big business.
He so expressed himself while the train was
going from Americus to tho river.
A big section boss, who lives beyond
Coney, and just this side of Seville, confi
dentially told the drummer there was a big
gang between the two stations who were out
of rations and other stuff, and he (the boss)
had no doubt but that he could place many
orders, as the men were all reliable. Tho
drummer was happy, and after Coney hud
been passed, wherever a log cabin could bo
seen he was in for having the train stopped
and letting him off. He was so frantic
about it that at last, as the train had slack
ened speed to go through a bad new cut, the
section boss told him to get ready, as beyond
tiie cut lay the inviting field. The drum
mer shouldered his grip, and as tho cut was
passed, the boss pointed to a great, hea v y
man lying down by a log fire, telling him
there was the boss of the crowd, and to
tackle him first.
Off tlie drummer jumped and the train
sped on. Making as much noise as possible
to awaken the seeming sleeper as he ap
proached him, the man from town was sur
prised to find he made no movement. Look
ing around ho was astonished to find that
there wasn’t a single tent or cabin to be
seen, and when he had summoned up
enough courage he found his expectant cus
tomer was—a dummy.
The drummer had been left alone in the
woods!
A little dismayed, but not disheartened,
the drummer prepared some fire-brands and
started to find a human habitation. Through
the woods, through the fields, over streams
and valleys he wandered until at last, he
came to a fenced in field. Following the
fence, after several hours hard walking he
came to a house, and after making uproar
enough to raise Satan—as he thought—he
got the farmer out, who, happily, proved to
be an ok! friend. It was thou 4 o’clock in
the morning.
And here comes the drummer's revenge,
His friend was all prepared for an early
wedding party, and the breakfast and
everything was on the table. The drummer
lost no time in inviting himself to the feast,
and had a meal fit to make the kings
envious. By the time he was through a
crowd was on hand and he billed several
good orders. He was then driven to the
railroad and took tho first train for Abbe
ville, happy and contented, even if he had
walked all night.
THE USE OF THERMAL WATERS.
Many Valuable Springs in America
Which Will Become Health Resorts.
From Harper's Magazine.
Geologically considered, a thermal spring
isf one whose temperature exceeds that of
the mean annual temperature of the place
where it flows; that is to say, the spring
must be warmed by volcanic or other inter
nal heat. But by this definition any spring,
say in Northern Labrador, that should force
its way through a frost-bound soil at a
temperature barely higher than the freezing
point, would have to be called thermal; and
so in physicians’ usage the term is limited
to include only those waters which are warm
enough to supply warm and hot baths at
their own natural temperatures, or at less
than these; for they range from 90° upward,
past tho bathing point and well toward the
boiling. Thermal spring baths are taken
at the temperature which I have deserived
as tepid and warm, and in the lower range
of tlie hot. The tepid thermal baths are es
eqxcially calming to the nerves. At some
of those baths the waters aro drunk, though
they have little other than a gentle laxative
offect. The waters are generally trans
parent and colorless; often they contain car
bonic acid gas, and sometimes chloride of
lime or common salt. At Neris and at
Schlangenbad the water has a somewhat
unctuous feel, or “texture,” in the technical
description of it, which is very agreeable.
Nothing, indeed, can be pleasanter than a
well appointed thermal bath; its tempera
ture and the carbonic acid gas which it gen
erally contains, are at once its main cura
tive and comforting agencies.
Mineral waters occur at many places in
Europe and America; often in wild upland
or mountain regions of exquisite beauty,
where mountain rides and rambles form a
part of the hygiene permitted or prescribed.
Our own country has an ample number of
such springs, but tlie greater part of them
are not as yet sufficiently improved to bo
comfortable and attractive, and attractions
and comfort are of no small importance to
the visitor at a thermal spring, especially
when it is a troubled mind that seeks
restoration. I must not say that nono of
our thermal waters are improved. Among
thoso that offer comfort to the invalid are
(hose at Santa Barbara, in Southern Cali
fornia, which has at least good hotel accom
modation : the Idaho “hot springs,” where
there are both hotels end bathing establish
ments; and the “warm springs” and the
“hot springs” of Bath county, Virginia,
which are improved and in benutitul re
gions. All of these are true thermal springs
owing comparatively little to their mineral
constituents, and are both attractive and
effective cures; nor are these all that might
Ik; mentioned. In due time this will be a
laud of bath cures, and invalids will come
to us from Euro)ie, as wo now go thither,
for change and for comfort.
A Savannah Drummer Killed.
From the Arcadia (Fla.) Arcadian.
Thursday morning’s train brought to our
city a gay and festive drummer from tho
Forest City of tlie South. As he stepped
upon the platform he anxiously inquired if
we were not afraid of yellow fever. His
mutilated remains were shipped to his sor
rowing relatives in his “Old Savannah
Home.”
