6 GEORGIA AM) FLORIDA. NEWS OB' THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Fiv Thousand Dollars In Confederate Money Sold for $1 50 at Macon A Macon Man tho Loser of the Fifteen SI,OOO Certificates in New York-A Second Crop of Cotton. GEORGIA. The Heplizi Baptist Association, i.i its ninety-second aunivorsnry, is now in session in Hephzi bah. Coal is being extensively used in Elber ton now and wood is almost dispensed with except for cooking purposes. Work has been begun on the Baptist church, at Wrightsville, and the prospects now are that the building will soon l>e com pleted. Five thousand dollars ill Confederate money brought #1 50 at Macon Wednesday. It was fished lip from forgotten depths by Col. Alex. Goode. Watchman Abel, of Macon, has a con tract for furnishing -00 rats for the owner of a valuable ratting dog. who will have a rat killing time at the fair. Lost week Mr. H. S. Dutton, of Bulloch county, arose iu the morning and found his wife lying beside him dead. She apparent ly seemed to be in good health the day be fore. J. P. Johnson, of Chattooga county, has a pig born with only three legs, there being no shoulderblade on the left side, or other indication that a leg was ever intended to grow there. A Rabun county man was iu Clarksville last week who had never been in a town larger than Clarksville, and had never seen a train of cars. He was going down to the exposition, and no doubt had a good time. A lady of Washington has the table on which President Davis and his Cabinet took their last dinner in Richmond. She also has some of the chairs and tableware used on that occasion. and the tableware will be exhibited at the fair. The merchants get some queer orders. Wednesday, Johnson <Xt Lane, hardware dealers, of Macon, received tho following from Blakely: “Please send me a sample of your winter clothing, and the price of meat and coffee and the price of your pistols and all hardware.” E. M. Beckham, postal clerk on the Grif fin and Columbus railroad postofflee, stood his first examination on Saturday, handling *£2o cards in twenty-three minutes, making but one error, and an average of 1(9.85. He made this record after running 19ft miles, married the prettiest girl ia Goorgia on Sunday night, and resumed his regular run on Monday morning. George W. Jordan, Jr., of Longstreet, had his portable saw mill consumed by fire late last Saturday evening. The mill was two or three miles from his residence. The fire broke out in a pile of dry lumber, and its progress could not be arrested. Tho lass will ap proximate SI,OOO. There is no in surance Mr. Jordnu was working some of the county chaingang. Brunswick Create: With an annual over the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, with our pockets full of passes for both the Piedmont and Georgia State Fair, and with hotels in both Macon and Atlanta owing us more than any possible damage wo could do them we could have taken in both the Pied mont Exposition and Georgia State Fair w-ithout necessarily expending a cent, but have found it impossible to leave our post. A day or two since a pet dog on the prem ises of Mrs. G. B. Dettre at Macon acci dentally fell in the well on the lot. To get him out was a puzzle, until someone sug gested tying a tub on the end of a rope, which was done and the dog brought to the surface. Afterward an old negro went down into the well for tho purpose" <tf dean ing it out, but his partner going off and leaving him. the ladies were compelled to pull ham out. The present feeling in real estate circles at Augusta is characterized by an uniform and steady demand for eligible property in all parts of the city. An (specially good demand for improved residence property, ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 has been noticeable, and many of the buyers are strangers or recent acquisitions to the population. The same class of buyers are investing also in suburban property by way of speculation. Elberton Gazette: We learn that cotton on bottom lauds, which was overflowed and destroyed during the big freshet in August last, lias since put out new sprouts and is now full of green bolls from the size of a partridge egg down to that of a bullet, It is thought that, if there is no killing frost until the middle of November, that some cotton will yet be made on these places. It will he of an inferior quality, as it is too late for cotton to make good lint. At Cochran last Friday night, while the family of D. C. Walker were all at church except Mrs. Walker and her son John, aliout 11 years old, a negro man was seen by John, who was in the yard, at one of the windows attempting to raise it. John slipped around and got into his mother’s room from the front of the house, and not letting her know anything stole a pistol out of the bu reau drawer and crept around the comer of the house and fired n couple of shots at the intruder. It is believed that the fugitive was wounded. The Daily Journal is the name of a hand somely printed and newsy newspaper that has recently made its ap|iearance in Bruns wick. under the management of Mr. A. E. Sholes. It is quite a venture in a city the size of our neighbor that has already two dailies. Tli* Journal, however, if kept up to the standard of the numbers already issued, will be a valuable adjunct to the growth of Brunswick, and those who have either business or property interests in that city will find that money" spent in support ing a newspaper of the class of this new candidate for their patronage will be a good investment. The public school of Manatee opened at t le Acauemy with seventv-flve pupils. Prof. JLemsey, Principal; the Braidentown school *■ .th thirty-five, Prof. Taylor Lee, Princi pal; the Williamsonberg Academy with thirty-five. Prof. B. C. Nichols, Principal. This is a pretty good educational showing lor this particular portion of Manateacoun tv, 145 pupils within a radius of four miles. There are forty schools in the county, alxmt 600 average attendance of pupils, and the schools will be run five months the present school year. Teachers' salaries are on a basis of $l2O per month for an average at tendance of ten to fifteen pupils, and $1 95 pei capita for each pupil above the fifteen. Mrs. Kemp, whose husband is farming for R. J. Anderson, of Mneon, on his planta tion near Cochran, was in his yard attend ing to some domestic affairs on Saturday afternoon and heard the report of a pistol, and instantly heard the whiz of a bullet passing near her. Facing the direction of the report she heard another shot and felt something strike her on the right breast. It was a bullet from a pistol, which pene trated the clothing but did not enter the flesh. A negro boy about 17 years old, who was a hand on the place, soon came up and told Mr. Korap that he shot at a hawk. Mr. Kemp accepted his explanation, as he had been a good hand, but the boy took fright and fled about night. The tensing of the other hands scared him off. Mrs. Kemp is not hurt. W. T. Harbaum, of Macon, has returned from quite an extensive trip North. While in New York he was so unfortunate as to lose a pocket-book, and this advertisement was inserted in the New York World: “Lost, on the night of the 14th Octolier, on Broadway, between Twenty-first, and Forty third streets, a book containing fifteen SI,OOO certificates on the Second National Bank of New York, payable to the order of W. T. Harbaum, and other drafts and papers; they are no good to anyone; there may have been some cash; the finder can keep that and be liberally rewarded by return ing papers and certificates to Coleman House proprietor.” In addition to the con tents named there were S3OO m caaU ut the book. Nothing was heard of the book, but Mr. Harbaum took immediate st qc to have the certificates cancelled, and they would therefore prove worthless to the finder. As to how the book was lost, Mr. Hnr j baum is of the opinion t hat, it occurred in j this way. At the time he had on a now i vest in which the tailor had placed the in side pocket on the right hand side instead of the left, to which he had been accus tomed. Having occasion to use some money, he placed the book, as he thought, in the pocket, but instead it was placed on the side whoro there was no poclot and it fell out unnoticed. ft. order to get the $15,000 he is required to give a bond for double tho amount lost, and this will lie done, nnd eventually the $15,000 will be recovered in this way. The bond is necessary to indemnify the Second National Bank, on which the lost certifi cates were issued, against any loss. FLORIDA. J. L. Mott, Jr., has been made associate editor of the Key West Democrat. Bayard is greatly in need of a good physi cian, there being none iu the vicinity. Messrs. Forrest and W. L. Lake are mak ing preparations to open anew store at W otxlbridge. The County Commissioners j>ay $35 per month for the rent of tho Haven’s Hall as an armory for the DeLand Rifles. I.ast, Sunday Miss Eva Hall, of Tampa, was taken very ill with yellow fever. Her fiance, W. H. C. Carruthors, was sent for, and they were married, he standing by her bedside. Santa Rosa county is booked with another foul murder, committed by the Adams brothers on Oct. 9, upon a stranger by the name of McLaughlin. The}' wereal! prompt ly arrested and jailed. The Winter Park Improvement Company has donated t,o Rollins College one imre of land which will be cleared by tffl boys and used ns a base tiall ground. Two hundred students are now enrolled at Rol lins College. Santa, Rosa county is sadly in need of a paper. It was rumored some time ugn that Mr. Albritan, editorof the DeFunUk Critic, was going to revive the old Santa Rosa News, but so far there has nothing been done in that direction. Uncle “Epheraim” Taylor, one of the “old timers” of Florida, died a few days since near Hawkinsville. He came to Florida in 1849 and helped to survey most of the gov ernment land. He has killed as many deer and boar as any man in the State. Capts. Matt and Eugene O'Brien arrived in Pensacola Wednesday, for the purpose of inspecting the steamers (ikoloosa and Echo, at, this point, and the Thomas Kiley, at Mill view, Capt. Matt, who is the Supervising Inspector of the district, with his office at New Orleans, is officiating in the stead of the late Capt. Blakeslee, Inspector of Hulls, and will so continue until the vacancy oc casioned by Capt. Blakeslee’s death shall have been filled. The first steamer of the Morgan line from New Orleans landed at Punta Gorda wharf on Sunday last. It begins to look like busi ness for that region to see steamers the size of the Clinton plowing the waters of that harlxir and discharging her freight from the docks into the cars which were in wait ing at the end of the dock. CoL Bent, Superintendent of the Charlotte llarlwir Division of the Florida Southern railroad, met the steamer at Boca Grande, and piloted her into Punta Gorda. If any one ever doubted that boats drawing 13 feet of water could land at Punta Gorda that doubt is now at rest. Fed Mayo, of Bagdad, while passing through John Diamond’s peanut field, where he had been gathering them, helped himself freely, filling his pockets, and finding some on top of a stump gathered them in also and ate them. After passing several such hatches conspicuously displayed the thought struck him that tne old gentleman had placed them there for the purpose of poison ing tiio orows, and the more he thought of it the worse he felt, and finally decided that he was badly poisoned, and struck a bee line for home. He told his wife the condi tion he was in and what he had done, and asked for melted lard and in tho meantime dispatched a courier to Mr. Diamond's to know if ho had out poison for the crows, but before the boy returned he had drank about a quart of tho lard, but gladly re ceived the “false alarm.” Col. E. W. Whitsides, the Mayor of St. James City, on Pine Island, arrived in Cleveland last Friday from Palatka, en route to Pino Island. The Colonel was in the host of spirits when he got off the train, and he would still have held on to the genial smile which wreathed his face, but when he applied for passage on the steamer Alice Howard he was informed by Capt. White that he could only allow him to take pas sage as far as the county line of Lee county, at which point he would have to disembark, owing to tho quarantine regulations estab lished in said county. As the county line is in the middle of Charlotto harbor, several miles from land, and the water is about fif teen feet deep, the Colonel refused to take passage. Very persuasive arguments over the wires to the Health Oflieers at Fort Meyers had no effect. No person coming from south of Jacksonville is allowed to enter Lee county. A KISH FAMINE. The President’s Tour Creating a De mand Never Before Known. From the Pensacola {Fla.) Commercial. Probably never in the history of the local fish business has a famine so pronounced as that at present existing prevailed for such a length of time. For tho past twelve days but one or two catches have been reported, and the receipts were of such insignificant amount as to lie almost unworthy of chronicling. Nearly all the vessels are at sea, but the weather has been of such nature as to absolutely prevent off-shore fishing, and the smacks are lying in the different harbors along the coast, their melting ice and consumed provisions adding very materially to an expense ac count for which there is no visible offset. The norther of a few days ago, followed by a strong east wind, and the lat ter suc ceeded to-day by a dead calm, are certainly most provolring. One day last week nine vessels were anchored in St. Joseph’s bay, and it is more than probable that they ai-e there yet., unable in the calm to get out, and uncertain of a catch should they get out, the sea, despite the calm, rolling nenvily outside. Large receipts in the past week or ton days would have proven a bonanza to the dealers. Cleveland’s tour has created such a demand for Pensacola fish as was never known before. St. Louis had orders in that would have absorbed the entire catch could they have been filled, and Memphis and Nashville were also on hand with big or ders. Atlanta ordered over 13,000 pounds, and Montgomery, iu her despair, has tele graphed for fish of any sort—“ Send any thing that looks like fish.” Aside from the demand created by the President’s apjienranoe at the different cities along his route, there is the usual general demand from all parts of the United States, and the orders which have been cancelled iu the past, fortnight are almost countless in their vast number. To say that the dealers are at their wit’s ends is describing their feelings mildly. Accustomed to receive and ship an average of 750,000 pounds of fresh fish per month, and to be now in receipt of orders for quantities hitherto unknown to the market, and which they cannot even think of filling, is galling in the extreme, and an abate ment of the famine has not the prospect oven of an early consummation. It is to be hoped that the smacks will he better favored during the current week, and that by Friday or Saturday many of them will report with large receipt*. The fish business is one of Pensacola's main indus tries, and a setback to it. means a lull that will be felt throughout the commerce of the city, for it gives employment to many men, whose ill luck must perforce engender a dullness that cannot, hut lie experienced by the merchants and others, whose success must depend upon the state of the times. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1887. A REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE. Julius Ceesar Played in Business Suits and Traveling Dresses. From the. Macon (Ga.) Teleyrajth. One of the most remarkable perform auces, barring rehearsals, that was ever given on Macon boards was that given by Mr. Keene and company at the Academy of Music last night, the play being “Julius Caesur.” When tho curtain went up for the first time the manager made the announcement that they were the victims of Georgia hos pitality in that the great crowds in Atlanta prevented their baggage from lieing loaded on the cars and the consequence was the company was hero without even a vestige of costume or stage projierty. He further an nounced that the money would be refunded at the door to those who did not wish to re main. In compliment to Mr. Keene the au dience, with a half-dozen exceptions, re mained in their seats. A case knife to lie used a* the dagger was borrowed from the Stubblefield House. Mr. Keene effected the loan of a toupee from a Macon friend, whose name is withheld for prudential reasons, and the play proceeded. Let it be said in the outset that Mr. Keene has a most excellent company, and playing under such circumstances as those of last night, was as severe a test as Mucon critics, or any other critics, for that matter, could subject them to. They gave a fine performance, each mem ber acquitting him or herself in so excellent and so faithful a manner as to almost make the audience forget that the costumes were at that time packed away in the trunks. But the risibles were sorely tempted when Marc Antony appeared in a black business coat and a pair of pepper and-salt pants, while Brutus with ins glit tering watch chain looked the shoe drum mer. Sympathy was expressed for Ca-snr, whose head was bald, and Decius seemed unhappy in his old gold yachting shirt. Cinna surely raided on somelxxiy’s trunk for he committed a breach of good taste in wearing black pants aud light coat, while Flavius looked as though he was dressed for a spring picnic. The loss of the baggage did not seem to be all of the misfortune. The rain came down in a pattering sort of way upon tho roof of the Academy and mode the night a hideous one. It suited the second act very well, however, and the sheet iron thunder was in full accord with the rain on the tin roof above. Then even the town clock seemed to be in tho conspiracy against the play. When the Roman clock struck the fatal hour of 3, tho signal to the conspirators that the time for the killing of Caesar was drawing nigh, the city clock in the court house adjoining the Academy was striking nine, and the property man behind the scene who was engaged in the solemn task of tolling tho three strokes, was prob ably unconscious of the fact that a Macon clock was struggling to get, in nine strokes to his three. Then the orchestra was com pelled to add its mite to the general em liarrassnjeiß The curtain went down at the end of the second act for a moment to allow Caesar time to get in a comfortable position to die, and the orchestra, without having been previously posted, struck up in full tune, with every man trying to drown the ceaseless patter on the roof. The din of the instruments prevented the leader from hearing the curtain liell, aud up went the curtain showing the dead Caesar, and tho orchestra playing the Pell Mell medley as loud as horns and fiddlers would allow it. But to tho credit of the orchestra be it said, that as soon as it was seen that there whs a death in the neighbor hood, it lowered its tone as gradually as Eissible until only the faintest sound of a ir from the B( ml&nger March could lie heard. Finally, it ceased and Ctesar died in peace and his pin-stripe suit. And yet through all this the audience paid homage to the genius of Keene by most respectful behavior, and by genuine applause, recalling him frequently. It was a most trying ordeal for the company, and perhaps more trying for the ladies who were compelled to appear in their traveling costumes. Imagine “Portia” and “Calphurnia” in block dresses, with pan nier, etc! But the lack of a wardrobe did not cause them to falter or to in any way slight their w-ork, and the result was that the performance in its entirety pleased the audience. It is to be hoped that when Mr. Keene again comes this way with the veter an IVheeloek and the good company of last night, the baggage will be on the same train with them. It is probable that Mr. Keene will sue the railroad for damages, in that it failed to bring down his baggage. GLOVES, HOSIKRY, ETC. AT H. A. MIAS’ YOU WILL FIND AN elegant line fancy Dress Braids.
