The St. Ixuiis and Chicago base ball clubs Will play at Augusta Nov. 3. R. W. Clements, of Irwin, owns 20.000 acres of land in Irwin count}’, for which lie asks $50,000. Near Alnpaha about eighteen months ago a cow died, was cut open and the calf taken. The calf is the property of W. J. Emm, and bids fair to make agoixi milker. Last Saturday and Sunday were memor able days at Oak Grove church in Brooks county. There were over 2,000 people in attendance and twenty live elders of tho Primitive Baptist church. Just before day last Tuesday morning tho storehouse of Cribb & Phillips and tho dwelling of S. E. Phillips at Glenmore, in Ware county, were destroyed by fire. It is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Loss about $3,000, only partly insured. Two young men of AVaycross visited a country Church, rather primitive in its man ners and customs, and when the boys took seats with thei. girls the minister requested them to “promenade to their places,” and the boys, much against their wishes, had to find seats on the male side of the house. Prof. W. K. Pilsbury, of the Recorder , is probably the only man in Americus who saw James K. Polk, once President of the United States. Prof. Pilsbury saw him on one occasion,when ex-President Polk visited Charleston, 8. C., in the spring of 1849, and where Prof. Pilsbury was introduced to him as cadet of the South Carolina Academy, with other cadets. F. F. Putney’s store, at Hardaway, was broken into by thieves, on Friday night. The burglars were evidently after money, for they tried to get into the safe; but in this they failed. They stole some goods, in cluding a cheap watch, but the total value of what they carried off was inconsiderable, showing that the burglars were after money rather than goods. Rev, W. J. Stallings boarded the train at Valdosta last Monday to go to Atlanta to have a surgical operation performed on his arm. He was shot in one arm during the late war and the bullet has never been extracted. It is said that the bullet is in the marrow and is working up. His arm is paralysed, and it is thought nothing short of amputation will effect a cure. Abbeville Times: In writing up our trip to Irwin we forgot to state that we passed through what is called the “Battle Ground,’’ rendered historical as the place where ex- President Davis was captured. A tree was pointed out that was cut nearly half down after tails. The place where a horse was killed was also pointed out, and whore the grass grew before, the ground has been bare ever since. A gentleman of Albany, who left his re luctant wife at homo while he visited the Piedmont Exposition, and brought her a dress to make her stay contented, was questioned, as usual, upon his return as to the costume Sirs. Cleveland wore. He artlessly replied, “she wore a dress just like your new frock.” All disappointment at not being able to attend the exjswition was forgotten, and the appreciation of the new dress was enhanced many fold. At Atlanta Saturday, in the case of I. C. Bandmand & Cos., who, on Oct. 17, made an assignment, Walter R. Brown, representing F. B. Pettie & C0.,0f New York, filed a bill before Judge Marshall J. Clark, asking that defendants show cause why a permanent re ceiver should not be appointed; and, also, why Bandmand & Cos. should not return certain goods purchased from Pettie & Cos., the plaintiff alleging that these had been obtained by fraud. Saturday next is fixed as the day for hearing. Fort Valley Enterprise: There is a well known colored man in our town who claims that he was severely whipped once, in his boy In xx i, by ex-President Davis, way down in old Mississippi. We know the negro came from Mississippi, and we have no right to disbelieve him. He says he is going to see Marse President Jeff Davis next week, and ask him it he rememtars whipping him “be fore de wah.” This negro is as true a Dem ocrat, and has always been, as any of his race. He votes an open ticket, and says the white man is the best friend he ever bad. The large tarn of Capt. Jo.hn D. Simms, of Coweta county, was burned Saturday. The fire was discovered when but a very small flame near the rack where the stock fed, but it spread so rapidly that all effort to put it out was unavailing. There were in the barn several thousand pounds of hay, 100 or 125 bushels of com, 100 or 150 bushels of oats and three bales of cotton ready for market. The loss is estimated at $BOO or $l,OOO, supposed to be the work of an in cendiary. No live stock was burned, and other buildings near by were saved with great difficulty. For thirty-seven years there has l>een a box in tho Americus past oflloe called Wil liams’ box. It was a neighborhood box, and ail contributed toward paying rent, and if the amount paid was put together it would make quite a nice little sum. It was called so for A. J. Williams, of the new Twenty-sixth district, whojsays he has re ceived as many as fifty letters a day during the war for his neighborhood. Uncle Jack is now growing old, and ho says that the yotmg men now growing up should be recognis'd in their labors for the people, and Williams’bex has ceased to be, and a regular daily mail now takes its place. A post office has been established and named Rooney. The law requires that all resolutions and bills appropriating money should be read three times on three different days in each house of the General Assembly before pass ing. It is thought that the recent Legis lature overlooked this fact once or twice in connection with several resolutions authorizing the payment of money to com mittees and members for expenses, reading the same only once or at best twice. Under tho law these resolutions are worthless, and cannot be used as authority to justify the payment of money. Of course, the matter was an oversight, but it cannot be corrected now until the next General Assembly meets. The amounts involved are small and insig nificant and no special trouble will result from the oversight. The new insurance bill passed by the Gen eral Assembly and now on the Governor’s table for approval, is not a radically now measure as some people suppose. In sub stance it is nothing more or less than a cod ification of existing laws on the subject of insurance, arranging the same so that trouble and difficulty will be avoided. But little additional powers are conferred upon the Comptroller General, who is made the insurance commissioner, but the hill com pensates him for the large amount of work ne has to perform in connection with the business by increasing bis fees, etc. The bill will be approved by tho Governor, and will immediately go into effect. It docs not effect materially any class of insurance save the assessment companies, and it only in creases their fees and licenses in some par ticulars. C. D. Anderson in Fort Valley Enterprise. Allow me to correct you in the history of the battle flag of the Hixth Georgia regi ment, as noticed in your last issue. The ludios of Fort Valley on the eve of our de parture for the war, in 18(11, presented the Beauregard Volunteers, which company L had the honor to command, with a magnifi cent stand of colors. Miss Dinkins, in be half of the ladies of Fort Valley, made the presentation speech, and it was received by Private Wesley Avera, color bearer of the company, with a timely speech. This flag is now in the hands of A. W. Murray. Avera was shot dead carrying the battle flag of the Sixth Georgia regiment—the one Uie veterans expect to unfurl in Macon Oct 2(5. After tie was killed U. M. Gunn volun teered to bear it. He was shot gallantly regiment and crippled for lilc. AftcyWe was disabled John Cousins was serintWf wounded carrying the same colors. Americus correspondence Macon 7 ele (lirlph: Our people have about all straggled i home from the Piedmont fair, some sadder and all wiser than when they left home. If all the impositions practiced upon a confid ing public in Atlanta this week were given to the people, an indignation would lie awakened that circumstances would not abate nor time obliterate. The managers of our exhibit in this county have Mr. Grady’s writt: n promise that if we would send our agricultural display to Atlanta we I might remove it on AVednesiiay night, Oct. 19, and he would see that cars were fur nished for the purpose. Did he keep his word; On Wednesday morning the judges had not even inspected our display, and not until the following afternoon were the prizes awarded. Our people feel and ex press tho opinion that this delay was for the purpose of keeping our exhibit away from the .State Fair. These remarks will apply to other counties as well as Suinter. The Solicitor Generalship of the Stone Mountain circuit, seems to be exciting con siderable trouble at this time. The Legis lative Committee appointed to investigate the matter reported that the office had been vacant since |Jan. 1, 1887, Mr. Henry C. Jones, the old solicitor holding over under the law until his successor should be ap jiointed. Notwithstanding the fact that a vacancy was reported, the Legislature went into no election for Solicitor, leaving the matter in the hands of Gov. Gordon. It was currently reported about the State House that Gov. Gordon would appoint Col. John S. Candler, of DeKalb county, to fill the vacancy until the General Assembly elected a Solicitor. Col. Candler, however, was not appointed Saturday, and during the morning quite a large delegation from DeKalb county called upon tho Governor, and it is rumored, entered a protest against the appointment of Candler, asking that Jones lie kept in office. Notliing definite could bo ascertained, however. The board to control the Jewish Orphans’ Home, I. O.

Jacob Haas was made Treasurer, The board approvod the purchase of the AVashington and Love street property and the price paid, $9,200, by the local commission, and in structed the Building Committee to secure plans and estimates. Norman & Eiehberg were appointed the architects to prepare the {flans. The corner stone of the asylum will >e laid with appropriate ceremonies on Deo. 14. It will require $.50,000 to raise the build ing; $47,500 lias been raised, and the local committee has pledged the balance. Canton Advance: The negro who was ar rested some time ago by Sheriff AV. A. Kitchen on suspicion that he was an escajiod convict, and who afterward admitted being implicated in the killing of the Woolf oik family, and latterly was detained in jail hero ror that crime, was released last Satur day by Sheriff Kitchen, for the reason he had held the negro as long as he felt war ranted in doing so without some sort of a commitment. As before stated in the Ad vance, Jack told, while confined in jail here, a great deal concerning the killing of the Woolfolk family. Col. Frank B. Walker, Tom Wool folk’s attorney, gave the negro’s story considerable credence, and appeared very anxious to keep Du Bose in jail at all hazard, yet for some reason he would not, or at least did not, swear out a warrant and have the negro regularly committed. It is the opinion of the Sheriff, as well as others vjho have heard the negro’s full story, that he is too well acquainted with the facts and all the material circumstances connected with the killing not to have some criminal knowledge of the affair. But, lie that as it may, Jack Dußose is again at liberty “to roam this wide, wide, world o’er,” and when last seen by the Sheriff was going down the river road toward Cartersville on his way to Alabama. Before leaving (for always we hope), Jack gave Ozborn Smith as his real name, and, maybe, it is. In the Superior Court at Atlanta Satur day there was filed a creditors’ bill against tho well known firm of A. C. AA’yly & Cos. The bill was filed by Rhett & O’Bryan and AValter R. Brown, representing creditors of *he firm. The parties defendant are A. C. Wyly & Cos., Mrs. A. C. Wyly, AA’. M. & R. J. Lowry and Oglesby & Meador. The liabilities of the firm are about s(’>s,ooo. Tho exact amount of the assets is not known, but it is supposed to lie between $50,000 ami $75,000. Judge Clarke granted an order restraining all of the defendants from dis posing of any of the property of the firm, which consists of notes, merchandise and ac counts. Saturday, Oct. 29. is named as the day for the hearing to decide whether or not a permanent receiver shall be ap pointed. AA r . M. &R. J. Lowry are made parties to the suit, because they hold at their bank certain papers which will ac - crue to the benefit of either the firm or the creditors. Oglesby & Meador are made, parties because, it is alleged, on Oct. 15, that firm bought out A. C. AA’yly & Cos. It is said that Mr. Wyly has remained ostensi bly in charge until within the past day or so. This is one of the oldest grocery houses in the State. For along time it was operat ed under the firm name of A. C. & B. F. Wylv. but about five years ago there was a dissolution of the partnership, B. F. AA’yly going into another firm. Later A. C. Wyly took in as a partner M. L. Roberts. The gentlemen connected with this firm won many friends in Atlanta, who wili be sorry to hear of this embarassment. FLORIDA.

Old sportsmen say small game is more plentiful aroun i Lakeland than ever before. The Orange Belt railroad has crossed the South Florida at Macon, and the work is rapidly drawing to a close. St. Andrews is two years old, has a popu lation ot 800 white people, who are engaged in farming, gardening, building, clearing land, fruit raising, etc. Ed. Daiizy, one of the prisoners who es caped from the county jail at Gainesville Friday night, hud applied for a pardon only last week, but he thought his chances best to take leg bail. When a man employed on the Orange Belt railroad was running his horse at great speeL a few days since, tho horse suddenly left the road, throwing his rider with his head against the tree with such force that his tooth prints were left in the bark. He died in toil minutes. The Lake Hour* property at Kissimmee, which was sold recently by order of tho court for the benefit of the Patrick estate, Was bid off by Judge J. F. Wilbourn for $0,009. The property sold embraces a strip from the Nicholson drug store to the lake. The DeFuniak Springs AVoolen and Cot ton Manufacturing Company, with a capital stock of $25,000, was organized Saturday and a site selected. A Nebraska gentleman furnished one-half the capital and the other half was subscribed by large wool and cot ton producers of the county. The factory will be ready to work lip next season’s clip. Capt. Rose,of Kissimmee, paid the freight on fourteen cars of sugar mill machinery, this week, which amounted to over $5,000. Thera is -till one car of machinery and five of supplies to follow. Capt. Rose is paying out about SB,OOO per mouth for material.

Alluding to the yellow fever report sent out bv the discharged telegraph operator at Jacksonville, the Pensacola Commercial says: “The joke, however, was AA'itt all over. It is related of him that some years ago, when the celebrated pedestrian, Mis. Potts, was walking from Philadelphia t<> New Orleans and back, John was living at Pollard, Ala. The people of that little town were expecting the arrival of the pedes trian, and the whole town was out await ing a glimpse of her as she should pass; at length she was espied far down the railroad track, and tue eager populace set out and escorted her through tho town, and accom panied her about a milo farther, when they were surprised to see her commence ‘shuck ing’ herself. She pulled off her dess, one or two petticoats, jerked off her bonnet, and to the gaze of the amazed people there stood revealed the well known face and form of their townsman, John C. Witt, Esq.” A man giving his name as Frank Ottis, and his residence as New York, came to Jacksonville tho first of last week, and lias since been sending considerable time and money in Hazon’s saloon. He frequently showed.checks which he had in his posses sion, which he claimed had been paid to him by Armour tic Cos., of Chicago, in payment for some cattle. The man wont to the Stato Bank of Florida and presented a check for about S2OO, which he wanted paid. The bank told him that it would require identi fication, and asked for the name of some one who could vouch for him. Ho named Adams & Smith and W. H. Hazen, both firms being acceptable with the cashier. He then returned to Iluzen and produced a check for $3 20 which he asked Hazen to in dorse. Thinking it of little value, he carelessly put his name on the back, but he was some what startled and surprised when he heard later that the man had presented a check for $320, and had received the money on it. Hazen immediately started out in search of the fellow. He was at Bettilini’s, and wil lingly went back to the bank. He stated then that the check was good, and said he would refund the money if they had any doubts about its genuineness. This was satisfactory to Hazen & Cos. and the bank, and all the money except $29 was handed over, and to secure this he pawned some watches which he had in his possession, and was then released from custody. After his release an answer to a telegram sent to Armour & Cos. stated that the paper was a forgery, and that no check for either $3 20 or $320 had been given out by them; also that they knew no such man. After receiving this telegram a search was made in hopes of finding him again, but it was no use. He had marie good use of his time in getting out of tho town. Tavares Herald: For nearly two weeks past rumors have been in circulation that it was the intention of certain persons in Eustis to publicly insult Maj. St. Clair- Abrams on the occasion of his speaking there. The committee in charge of Jhe in terests of Tavares, after making inquiry and investigation, were much surprised to leant tnat tlie Eustis committee had actually written Mr. Mac Williams, of Jacksonville, offeri ug to employ him to come to Lako eoun - ty and speak ac Maj. St. Clair-Abrams’ meet ing in opposition to Tavares, although well knowing that Mac Williams was a bitter jiersoual enemy of Maj. Abrams. Aside from the manifest impropriety of calling upon any person not a citizen of Lake coun ty to take part in a purely local contest, it must be evident to all unbiased readers that had Mac Williams aeeopted the offer there could have been but one result. Maj. Abrams would have declined to permit him to speak at auy of the meetings, and another personal encounter tietween the two would liave followed. That MaeAVilliams had the good sense to see that this was a contest in which he could not with propriety take part, and tho good judgment to de cline, cannot in any way lessen the gravity of the error committed by the Eustis com mittee, for surely they must have foreseen the result. It was not likely that the hun dreds of friends of Maj. Abrams in this county would have quietly stood by and seen him mude the subject of a deliberate insult. They would have resented it, and the consequence would have been deplorable In the extreme. Indeed, so agitated did they become on the prevalence and jiersist oncy of these rumors, that the Tavares com mittee determined to make an effort to pre vent anything transpiring that would dis turb the harmony of the canvass. They, therefore, addressed a letter to a number of prominent citizens of Eustis, saying, among other things: “It is scarcely necessary for this committee to state that the many friends of Mr. St. Clair-Abrams in this county will not permit him to be come the object of insult in a county in which he has resided for over twelve years, and of which he is one of the oldest citizens. Tho committee, therefore, ask you to aid them in preventing anything so deplorable as is threatened in the reports mentioned. Mr. St. Clair-Abrams will be happy to meet und divide time with any eitizeu of Eustis or Lake county who may desire to discuss with him the questions involved in the county seat contest at the meeting of Oct. 24. But tho committee will not con sent for any person not a resident of Luke county to take part in that meeting, which is called by them and for which they have hired and paid for the use of the hall. The committee desire that they will receive from you the assurance that nothing will be per mitted by the citizens of Eustis to disturb the harmony of the meeting, and ask from you a reply to this letter giving such as surance. We are very truly yours. Signed by T. AV. Greeusfitt, W. B. Tucker, Robert Bryan, George A. Butler, Wm. L. Freeland, Reese Fowler, Jabez H. Se.ai-s, 8. B. Harrington, Alfred St. Clair-Abrams, AA r . H. Latimer. AVe are glad to state that in response to this letter have eonio numerous assurances that the people of Eustis will not permit anything to occur to disturb the meeting on the night of (Jet. 24, and ull the writers agree in declaring that no one but citizens ot the county wilt be allowed to speak. AVo are also glad to note that these letters convey the assurances that the threats referred to are condemned by the great majority of the citizens of Eustis, who will not permit the makers of them to carry them out. HAYNES SHOT DOWN During a Pistol Duel between Two Men. Gainesville, (>'., Cor. Atlanta Constitution. A tragedy took place at Hoschton, Jack son county, a station on the Gainesville, Jefferson and Southern railroad, about 8 a. m. Saturday, in front of Hosch Bros.’ store, the parties engaged in the affair lieing William B. McCants, a merchant of Hosch - ton, and Joe Blalock, l’alniour & Smith’s bookkeeper, of Gainesville. Your corres pondent, after some inquiries as to the cause of the difficulty, was put in possession of the following facts: Mr. Blalock owns a farm in Jackson county, about one mile from Hoschton, which he rented to a man bv the name of Kilgore for the year 1887, and furnished him rations to enable him to mako his crop. Kilgore refused to pay for the advancement, and Blalock sued and obtained a judgment. Some cotton belonging to Kilgore was levied upon, and he tiled an illegality to the execu tion. Being Justice Court day, Mr. Blalock, with his counsel, ex-Judge J, B. Estes and Mr. W. F. Findlay, went down on the early train to Hoschton, arriving thereabouts, o’clock. Judge Estes had taken breakfast before leaving home, but Blalock and Findlay left without eating, Blalock taking a lunch with him. On their arrival at Hoschton, Blalock and Findlay repaired to the store of Hosch Bros., where they lunched, during which time Mr. W. B. McCants walked into the store, and passing by Blalock and Findlay, halted a few steps beyond them, and was engaged in looking at something w hen Mr. Blalock advanced to where he stood and said: “Bill, 1 understand that you said that I wns no better than ad— rogue. I)nl you snv it?” Mr. McCants made some reply to the quay, which was not satisfactory, ami. turning around walked toward the front | door. When about thirty or forty feet from Blalock, he stopped, faced about and walked up directly in front of Blalock, and said: “Joe, you are armed, and I am not Blalock, pulling out two Smith Sc AA r esson double-acting revolvers, one 38 and one 32 calibre, said: “Thar shall not be in the way. Here aro two pistols. Take your choice, and we will shoot it out.” McCants made no reply, but soon disap peared out of the front door. Blalock put the two revolvers away and returned to his lunch. In about five minutes McCants came to the front door of the store armed with a double-barreled shot gun. and asked Mr. Russ Hoscb, one of the proprietors, if Joe Blalock was in the store, and added that he intended to shoot him on tho spot. Mr. Hosch hurrried to where Blalock and Find lay stood, and told Blalock that McCants was at the front door, armed with a double-barreled gun, and was going to shoot him down. Blalock at once stopped to the front door, but was detained by Hosch, who took his nrm and insisted upon him not going further, hut Blalock urged Mr. Hosch to let him loose, and when Hosch released his arm, Blalock stepped to the front door and down to the ground, and holding his hands up said: "If you are coward enough to shoot me with a double-barreled shot gun, when you know that I have none, and when you re fused to fight me with pistols, go ahead.” McCants was about ten paces from Bla lock at this time, and he stepped a few steps to the rear, his gun still in the position of ready. About this time Mr. Haynes, a sec tion boss on the railroad, and Jim Beard ran up and took hold of the gun, Haynes being in front of McCants and between him and Blalock. McCants hail his left hand on the gun, while Haynes held it with his right, the barrels elevated. McCants drew a re volver anil fired at Blalock bv reaching around Mr. Haynes, but the ball failed to hit its mark, and again from his safe posi tion he reached around Mr. Haynes and let drive another leaden messenger at Blalock, who stood fully exposed to bullets and with empty hands. McCants still continued to throw Ills bullets, and Blalock whipping out Ins No. 38 began to swap balls with him. After two shots Blalock's revolver failed to act. He threw it down upon the ground, and drew tiis 32, but before firing someone said that Haynes was killed, and not shoot again. AVhen Haynes fell to tho ground, McCants got down behind him, and here the shooting censed. Blalock went to Hoschton on business, and did not expect to see McCants, but from threats that Kilgore had made, lie thought it likely that he might have a difficulty with him. It is un certain as to who shot Mr. Haynos, as the shooting was general, and while it is hoped that he will recover, his life hangs by a brittle thread, as tho ball passed entirely through his body, having entered below his right shoulder and coining out through his left breast. Mr. Blalock was lit his post to-day, and while he regrets very much that Mr. Haynes, was shot, he says that he feels justified in protecting -himself ag linst Mr. McCants’ desperate efforts to kill him. Mr. Blalock is a brother to Billie Blalock, now deceased, who was so well and favorably known in[Atlanta. He has a wife and two children, and is one among the be it book-keepers in the State. His friends concur with him in his opinion that he is justifiable in actiiig as he did, and they will stay with him till the last day in the morning. STOCK LAW LITIGATION. A Casa In Gwinnett, Which Illustrates the Weak Points of the Law. From the. Lantenecville (Ga.) Herald. The adoption of the stock-law by districts is giving rise to some trouble among citizens of adjoining districts, and one law suit has already originated and others will likely arise out of the confnsion that the Legisla ture has left the law in. The litigation now up, is between Mr. Howitt, of Cates, which is a fence district, and Mr. Moore, of Rockbridge, which is a stock-law district. Mr. Hew itt's stock w'ent over on Moore’s premises and he took them up ahd demanded pay. Hewitt refused to pay because there was no fence around his district. The courts will liave to settle it be tween them. The trouble arises in this way: The laws of the .State require, when* a district adopts stock-law, that the county shall at once erect a substantial fence around that district. This expense is to be paid out of the county treasury, and then the district is assessed an amount sufficient to cover this expense which is collected by tho tax collector the next fall. This is the statute. But tho Supremo Court holds that there is no authority under the constitution to levy a tex to build fences. This is not provided for, and hence the levy of such a tax is illegal. The question then arises, where is the money coming from to build these fences? If it canuot be levied as a tax, the county authorities Avon Id not be justified in using other funds of the county for such a purpose. Nothing has been done, and the question now for the courts is, docs the law go into effect without a fence? The statute provides that when an election is held the Ordinary shall consolidate the vote, and if stock-law carries, that lie shall issue his proclamation announcing that stock-law will go into effect in that district six months from that date. The law contemplates that in this tune a fence would be built, ns is required, but as no fences w ill be built, because there are no funds to build thorn with, the question arises, will this prevent a full operation of the law? INDIAN RELICS. Presented to Mrs. President Cleveland by Jamie Nevin. From the Rome (CJa.) Tribune. Various little souvenirs of Rome and the Cherokee section wore fixed up for the Presi dent andliis wife, had they stopped in Rome long enough to have received them. Mas ter Jamie Nevin was determined to get his work in, and was perhaps the only ono who succeeded. Through the kindness of Capt. E. T. Gilliam, of tho city police force, a card was presented to Mrs. President Cleve land, as the ear passed along, with Indian relics attached, and bearing the following inscription: “Indian relics, arrowheads and ilottery, (licked up off the field between Myrtle Hill, and Mont Alto, near where tho junction of the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers form the Coosa, at Rome, Ga., tho home of John Ross, chief of the Cherokee Indians and supposed to be the scone of the battle be tween Gen. John Sevier and the Cherokees. Presented to Mrs. President Cleveland, by Jamie B. Nevin, from his collection of In dian relies.” Jamie Nevin has a large collection of In dian relics—tomahawks, spearheads, arrow head, elubheads, pottery, skindressers, etc., gathered from tar field mentioned above, and the sons of Capt. R. P. Nixon, and others living near the place, have gathered over 8,009 arrowheads and relics off this same field. It is historical that Gov. John Sevier fought the Indians at the junction of the rivers, and lienee this has bean locate* 1 as the spot by some of the Rome boys. From the great iiuml>er of arrowheads and Indian weapons found here on the field, it is not unlikely that tho boys are correct in locat ing this spot a* an Indian ball ground. A great many of these arrowheads and weap ons were found just after the freshet of 1880, had washed off the top surface of the field. The place is known as the Penning ton farm, and is now owtied an l occupied liy Capt. R. P. Nixon, whose sons George and Pennington, have gathered and pre served a large cabinet of these Indian relics. An Eastern Rajah Had a ruby which lighted his palace at night. More precious than gems are beauti ful teeth, which light up the face when dis played by a smile.
