Griffin and North Ala bama railroad will be held in Griffin on Nov. 3. At Gainesville the cotton factory began operations Friday, and in a few days will Vie running on full time and up to capacity. The start was made without flourish, and the public did not know that it was running until Saturday. At Powder Springs Sunday, Fletcher Mc- Gee who was thrown from his buggy by a runaway mule, died from the injuries re ceived. The accident occurred near Calif ir nta court ground, three miles from his home. He was not conscious after the acci dent. There was a very considerable loss from fire on the plantation of Allen W. Jones, near Midvilie. last Monday, amounting to about $2,000. Nine tenants’ houses, a cot ton house and ten bales of cotton, together with some 500 panels of fenciug were de stroyed. Special Pension Officer Steele was in Griffin Monday, and received from Mrs. Hatton S42S, the amount received by her in the Brooks fraudulent pension affair. This will probably relieve her from any further trouble, but loaves the matter looking rather more serious for the other parties in volved. James Alexander, of Americus, exhibits a small limb which has upon it four good sized apples of a second crop. The tree bore a beautiful crop of apples in the summer, and is now full with a second crop. His tig trees are also full with a second crop. J. X. Scarborough says he lias a L'Coute pear tree which is full with a second crop. At Greensboro Wednesday Capt. W. H. Branch brought in a load of tine watermel ons. These melons were large and delicious, some of them weighing as much as twenty pounds. They found ready purchasers at good prices. Some of the buyers packed the melons in sawdust and will endeavor to keep them preserved until Christmas. There is a lady in Brunswick who has just celebrated her 50th birthday. She is the mother of fourteen children and has several grandchildren. was married at 1C years old, and to-day will pass in any crowd of la lies for 35 years old. Her good husband in tell ing of it said: ‘And we have done as much hard work as any couple in Brunswick.” R. J. Parker, who lives on the Everett place, near Waynesboro, on last Monday, while feeding a cotton gin, accidentally had his left arm caught by the saws, and before The gin could be stopped his hand and arm were frightfully gashed up. Dr. McMaster went to his relief, and after carefully dress ing the injured limb reports thut he is doing as well as could be expected. The county alliance of the Farmers’ Alli ani-e, of Schley county, met on Friday as per appointment. Among the most important business was steps taken for the organiza tion of a State alliance, therefore, all the county alliances ot the State are requested to elect delegates at once to meet in Ameri cas, on Wednesday before the third Sunday in November next, for the purpose of or ganizing a Farmers State alliance. Capt. U. M. Roberts, of Brunswick, had a sad experience in his household last Sun day evening. The cat got locked up in his dining-room, where the table was all spread ready for supper. The Captain and family had gone out for a walk meanwhile. Upon their return on opening t he dining-room door they found that his catship had eaten all he wanted and scattered the rest all over the floor. To cap it all it was Sabbath, and the cook had been dismissed and was gone. At Griffin Monday Walter Bate-,one of the proprietors of the Griffin gin, happened to a very serious if not fatal accident. The en gine used at this ginnery is a fifty horse power improved engine, and at the time was running at full sjieed, when Mr. Bates attempted to throw the main belt off with u small piece of scantling, which was twisted out of his hand and whirled around -with the rapidity of lightning. On the rebound it struck him a severe blow just under the left ear and along the jaw bone, knocking him senseless, in which condition he re mained for sometime. At Montezuma Monday, when the train stopped at the station, a negro passenger jumped off and ran to the nearest barroom for a drink. The train was behind time, and it started before the negro had got back. He rau as fast as he could, jumped for the steps, missed his footing and rolled under the cars. For a moment he looked as though he would be crushed to death, and as the train moved on he lay still and quiet, and people thought him dead. On ex amination, however, it was found that one of his feet was crushed, and was amputated, and all that surgical skill could do was done for him. Last Wednesday a party of negroes, re turning from Augusta, got off at Chalker and started to their homes on a neighboring plantation. Among the crowd were George Mason and John May, both the worse for whisky. A dispute arose between them as to a remnant of whisky in a flask. May as saulted Mason with a drawn knife, and Ma son, after retreating for some distance, made one thrust at his adversary, cutting his throat from ear to ear. In the absence of the magistrate of the district, and the great distance to the Coroner's residence, Justice Bostick went out and held an inquest, the verdict being justifiable homicide. D. K. Walker, of Thomaston, has on his place an old negro woman about 95 years of age. His father bright her when she was but Ifi and she has been in the family so long that she rather thinks she still belongs to them. The other day she went into the house and asked Mrs. Walker to write a letter Tor her to her mot her,who she said,“belongs to St. George.” Her mother, of course, has been dead many years, but the simple creature has forgotten the lapse of time, and thinks of her mother as still alive. This old woman has some gourds, pitchers, cups, etc., which must be considerably over a century old, as they lielonged to the “mistis” of this old woman’s mother. John R. Giddens, of Dodge county, tells quite a singular incident which occurred to him a few mornings since. Mr. Giddens arose early, as is his custom, dressed him self, put on his hat and went out to the well to draw a bucket of water; returned to the house and proceeded to mako a fire prepara tory to getting breakfast. While he was busy at these morning duties he thought his hat fit him rather closely, but did not give the matter any further attention. When he went out, however, to bathe his face and hands he laid his hat aside, and out crawled a vendmous-lookingsnake, measuring :> l'eet in length. Just how or when his snakeship got into his hat Mr. Giddens does not know. Dr. L. C. Mattox, of Homervllle, lias a peculiar well on his plantation, which to all appearances is without bottom, boing a hole in the ground whose depths cannot for have not as yet) been fathomed. Below the curb appears a soft, muddy substance, which will give way until a long pole gives out. While all other wells in that vicinity are drying up the doctor has an abundant supply of water. The little fish which has been in there for so long was missing one morning, and for about a month did not show up, until one day it came back from its wanderings. There is no telling where it had been, or bow deep and extensive the doctor's well really is, and no oue wilj be apt to go down atul investigate. Dawson Xem: On last Thursday morning ! a crowd gathered in front ot the engine j house in answer to summon* of the lire bell, j it was a false alarm, and all the young linen, feeling good, decided to have some amusement before dispersing. A foot race 1 was gotten tip on the spur of the moment, ! and Iho competitors were Col. W. B. Gibson j and Judge J. L. Janes. Their weight is ! about 240 pounds each, and beta were nearly | equally divided lictweei) the two. Gibson, [ however, was the favorite, and bad to give i Judge Janes ten steps the -tart in aseventy five curds race. Both did some good work, but Judge Junes fairly hunqied himself <m ’ the home stretch and came out three lengths ahead of Gib on, amid the cheers and shouts of his friends who had barked their judgment on his ability to win the race. Thursday night, as the train from Gaines ; viile reached Bellmout junction, en route for Jeffei-son, Dr. S. S. A earwood, of Ten digress, lost his pocketliook, and claimed tkat his pockets had lieen picked. There were three strangers, that is, people the doctor did not know, on the train, one of whom was the conductor, John Singleton, who was running in place of Conductor Clarke. It was proposed that the whole crowd of men on the train be searched. This was unanimously accepted, and every one entered the baggage car and submitted to a thorough personal ex amination, but neither the pocketliook nor money was found. Conductor Singleton told Year wood that lie was on the platform of the car at Candler Station with his [socket book out, and must have drop[ied it there. Ycarwood did not believe it, but finally agreed to go back and look for it. He re turned oil the uptrain, took a light, and found the missing property all intact, where he had dropped it. Tne loss created quite a commotion among the passengers until the property was fouud. At Gainesville on Thursday night Jacob Short, colored, was accidentally, by the ex plosion of a kerosene lamp, burned so badly that he died from the effects thereof Satur day evening, and was buried Sunday. He was one oi the fixtures of the city. He was (53 veal's o!d, and during the war was tho body servant of D. E. Banks of that place, and when his master was shot down be took him upon his shoulders and carried him off tho field and saved him from capture. In doing so received two wounds—one in the arm and the other ill the leg. but nothing daunted tie bore his master to a place of safety. In stead of joining the Union League, as most of the colored people did, be became a staunch and uncompromising Democrat, and has always voted the Democratic ticket. No Confederate soldier was prouder of his war record than “Uncle Jake.” His white friends purchased a neat funeral outfit, fol lowed him to the grave, and w ith their own hands buried him. He was usually liked by ail the white people, but his own race hail but little to do with him. Augusta ('/iron iclr: Monday night a re porter learning from a reliable informant that a fire was raging at Langley factory, dispatched to the scene and learned that the fire occurred in the picker room of that manufactory and had done considerable damage to machinery, besides burning fifteen bales of cotton, and that the fire had been mastered by a force of workmen and was under control. This information was conveyed to President \\ r . C. Sibley. The Chronicle was thanked for its information. How ever, an officer from the factory had just arrived bringing the information, being unable to get possession of the wires. lie stated that the fire wos under complete con trol when he left. He did not think more than t n bales of cotton had been destroyed. The accurate extent of the damages how ever, could not tie learned, owing to the con fused condition of things during the excite ment that reigned when he left. All losses are fully covered by insurant* and will re tard business but little. President Sibley left at 4 o'clock this morning for the factory. FLORIDA. Cucumbers will be shipped from Arcadia in three weeks. J. It. Hayes returns to the Hotel Indian River, Rock Ledge, Fla., as assistant man ager. The woods around Arcadia are full of quail, and it is a poor shot that returns empty handed. The directors of the South Florida Expo sition will elect officers on Nov. 1 to serve for the ensuing year. R. C. Ivory has retired from the Hotel Pablo, at Pablo Beach, Fla, and will con duct a small hotel in Jacksonville this win ter. W. L. Scott,, a young Virginian, now liv ing on the Duncan place near Arcadia, will plant three acres of Cuba tobacco this winter. Shipments of oranges still continue from Arcadia Most of the crops in this neigh liorhood have been sold on the trees at good figures. F. M. Platt, of Arcadia, has sold his stock of cattle to Irvin Lochler, of Crewsville. The stock, it is estimated, wiil number about 2,000 head. J. E. Baker and S. L. Earle have been en gaged to manage the Duval, Jacksonville, Fla, this winter. The house will be con ducted by the owner, Col. James K. Turner. A genuine sidewalk epidemic seems to have struck Orlando. New lumber for side walks and crossings have been dumped along the streets, and the work of laying has already begun. Harvey White, a colored man, was killed on Sunday evening near Dinsmore on the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad about twelve miles from Jacksonville, by being struck by a locomotive. Three cars of cattle werejloaded Tuesday morning at Bartow for Savannah via Gainesville, and two cars at Arcadia on Wedesday for Jacksonville via Sanford. This looks quite like business. Andrew Albritton and Gideon Albritton rode into Arcadia Tuesday bound for Pine Level to register. They had ridden over thirty miles and were much relieved when they were told that it was not necessary to register. A certain citizen of Tampa, the proprie tor of a boarding house, whoso name we suppress for his family’s sake, left town as soon as his family caught the fever, leaving his wife and two daughters sick and almost destitute. It is expected that the steamboat Queen of St. John’s, will be ready for ust* in a fort night. The work of repairing has beeu in progress about three months, mid it is esti mated that about $4,000 will have been ex pended by the time she is put on the river. James M. Smith, who spent one season at the Magnolia Hotel in Florida, with R. 11. Steadies, has secured a lease of the San ford House, Sanford, Fla , from F. 11. Hand, general agont of the English company own ing it. He is to jiay $5,000 rent, and will open it the first of next month. The registration books have closed, and all whose names who were not on the old registration books at the time of the division of Manatee county, or who have not regis tered at the office of the Supervisor of Reg istration since his books have been open at Pino Level are debarred from voting at the special election on Nov. 3. Mitchell Keene has just returned to Ar cadia from a two-week’s cow hunt, during which he saw many deer. The largest herd numbered fourteen head, and were grazing near Guano Slough. He also rau into a flock of wild turkeys that were so wet from the heavy rains that they were unable to fly, and he succeeded in capturing one alive. At Titusville Monday in the municipal election George B. Rumph was elected may or over (4. F. Ensey, by a majority of five votes. R. P. I’addisoii, D. L. Gaiilden, 8. H. Ray, John M. Dixon and L. B. Bigelow were elected Aldermen. Marshal, T. W. Smith; Clerk and Treasuer, P. I). Wesson; Assessor, is. F. Gray. The election was dose and exciting. Fleming, a colored candidate for Alderman, was badly left. The mayor ship was hotly contested for. Miss Eva G. Hall was married t; Will H. C. Caruthers at Tanqia last Saturday. Oct. 15. The wnddiug duy had been set for tome time in December, but as Miss Hall THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1887. was stricken down with the fever, and re liable nurses were scarce, Mr. Caruthers determined to trust her to no other bunds than his own. So, after gaining her con -ent, h minister was sent for mid he ac quired Hie legal right to love, cherish and : protect one of Tampa’s most amiable and lovely young ladies. Mr. Carutner* himself i- held in liigli esteem by ail who know him. We are pleased to report that Mrs. Caruth ers is convalescing. Thomas Laubn-'lt, of Orange county, is an experimenter in other direction* than iu farming. He is just now engaged in clean ing up a tract of hummock land near the St. John's river east of Chuluota. In one sjiot he had a group of very fine cabbage palmetto trees which lie w ishes to preserve. In the centre of tlie group was a large pine, and to cut this would endanger some of the paimettoes. He. therefore, decided to blow up tlie [line, as there would lie less liability of the paimettoes being crushed by the pieces than bv tlie entire Wee. Preparing an explosive cartridge, of somewhat uncer tain power, he put it into the tree, aud at taching a fuse he Ut out for some distance and laid himself flat on the ground and awaited results. They came, and astonish ment came with them. The pine tree was removed, there was no doubt about it, for it was not there, or elsewhere, so far as was discoverable. With it had gone about a quarter of an ncre of Florida’s richest hum mock, and the entire group of paimettoes for fifty feet in all directions. Mr. l-aubaeb is still of the opinion that he miraculously es eaped an earthquake. WAR-TIME RELICS. Things That Will Remind the Veter ans of Other Days. From the Macon ((Va.t Telegraph. The city is flooded with Confederate money. Mrs. Virginia Co[ie, who is one of the unreconstructed rebels, has in her pos session a picture of the first secession flag hauled up in Savannah. Mr. John Grimes has a small coffee pot made for him in the early part of the war by Mr. L. C. Kicks, and out of which he drank during his army life. In those days it was coffer only occa sionally. and parched [lean, meal or chicory all the time. Fourteen kinds of coffee liave been made in that pot. Saturday a gentleman aged 50 walked into Winship & Callaway's store, and going up to Mr. Pitt Baldwin extended his hand and said: “You have not seen me in twenty-five years, and you don't know me.” Mr. Bald win viewed him for a moment and replied: "Yes. I do, you are George Van Valken lierg,” aud so it was. He had changed greatly, of course, but Mr. Baldwin remem bered him, though he had not seen hhii since thev were Volunteers together in the arinv. There are in tlie show window of Mr. J. E. IVells’ jewelry store, two figures that will be an interesting sight to the old vet erans and to tlie sons of veterans as well. One is a Macon Volunteer in 1881. He has on one of the handsome uniforms of that time, dark blue with white shield, and barrel cap with German silver visor and mountings. The other figure is a Macon Volunteer of 18(55. He has on the gray jacket and pants and little cap. The coat and pants were worn at the close of the war, the latter by Lieut. G. C. Connor, who had them on when wounded, aud the ragged hole iu the waist band shows where the bullet went in that entered his side. The young soldier has a small dainty moustache, and the old soldier has a full beard. He is the pic ture of hard times, but he was a soldier fighting for his country, all thesame. Upon him is strapped the sack and canteen that went through four years of the struggle ami near him is a battle flag that w-as waved aloft over the Volunteers as they fought on the battlefields of Virginia. The two figures are studies in their way, and Lieut. Wells has made masterpieces of them. The old veterans who will be here this week will see them; and only a glance is neces sary to make memory scamper back to the times when a square meal was as big a curiosity as President Cleveland is now. A THREATENED SUIT Growing Out ol the Trip of the Cadets to Atlanta Last Week. An unfortunate affair happened on the occasion of the return of the Southern Cadets, of Macon (Ga.), from Atlanta Wed nesday night. The cadets had a special car, and had placed a guard at each door to prevent people from entering. Several did enter from the windows, however, among them some ladies, but as there were nearly seats enough for the company, they were allowed to remain. On the platform were quite a number of gentlemen, among them John D. Hough, of the Macon Oil anl Fertilizer Company. The night was very inclement, and Mr. Hough tried to get into the car, but was met at the door by one of the guards with his gun at fixed bayonets, and told that the car was specially reserved for the cadets. Just here there areoonflioting statements. It is claimed that Mr. Hough, feeling that, as he had paid his fare to ride on the train, he had a right to a seat in a car, and simply tried to got into the car out of the falling rain and otherwise disagreeable position on the platform, and was assaulted by the cadets. On the other hand, it is claimed that Mr. Hough grew very angry at being refused, and endeavored to get down the ax which the railroad company keeps at the end of the car, but was prevented by one of the cadets. The cadets, who were commanded by Lieut. Kenan, say they had reserved the car and the key hail been placed in their hands, ami that Conductor Yates so decided when applied to. It is reported that Mr. Hough, who feels himself aggrieved, will sue the Central rail road for damages, and also prosecute certain members of the company for assault. Historical. From the Quiney ( Flu .) Herald. Some talk has been going on asAto how the great industries recent ly loom mg up in our county, came about. The truth is that they are due to Win. Bruce, as the fountain source, more than to anybody else. It was he who sent the samples of tobacco to Mr. Chas. Vogt, of New York, of the firm of Carl Vogt it Son, which induced that gentle man to visit our county, and purchase a crop of tobacco last November, from the Shelters, who for many years have cultivat ed the weed. It wius this act of Mr. Vogt that caused the planting of the crop this year, and it was the crop of this y*ar that caused Receiver Duval to send out the in telligent gentlemen, Messrs. Corry & Kretschmar, whose reports of the growing crops were of the most favorable character, out of which grow the magnificent syndi cate of the Florida Tobacco Producing and Trading Company, backed by money, brains, a powerful railroad organization, the trade, and last, but not least, the good will and confidence of our own jieople. What has been done, and is being done, by the syndicate, has to a great, extent, influ enced Mr. Vogt's operations. There have been small cigar factories, in this place, sometimes one, and more, ever since we can remember, and whatever in fluences may have been exerted by them, in this behalf, arc cheerfully accorded. There is no doubt of the'fact that the plant ing of tobacco by the Nicholsons, and Shelters, for a good many successive years, bail a great influence on'the mind of Mr. William Bruce in cultivating it, and manu facturing cigars. While a citizen of New Zealand tic was informed that he was one of the heirs of a large landed estate, in this county, and lie came to get his share. For u long time one of the heirs could not bo found, and it. was then that he studied tobacco, and after a satisfactory investiga tion, ho became convinced of its commercial value. Without any practical knowledge on the subject, he talked with tobacco growers, and read tobacco papers. Over two years ago he planted pure Yuelta Aba jo seed, raised a erop, made cigars, and liber ally distributed them in many portions 0 f the country. The cigars received the most flatteriug testimonials, and thus was in augurated the tobacco renuisance in Gadsden county, which is now extending throughout the Elate. VALERIE LAMAR RANKIN. How a Pretty Atlanta Child Got a Kite* From Mrs. Cleveland. Last Tuesday the Presidential procession passed by the magnificent ri sideiu* of Dr. J. W. Rankin, on Copit‘l avenue in Allan ta. The pavements w ere packed w ith peo ple, and the crowd surged over into tne sti-eet. leaving but a narrow space for the procession to pass. As the carriage containing Prc-ident and Mist. Cleveland arrived iu front of the Ran kin mansion a colored man carrying a beautiful goiden-lmired 4-year-old girl in his arms pushed h - way through tlie packed crowd, amt before the policemen could stop him 4tood at the President's carriage door. The carnage was stopped, and the President lifted tlie beautiful c hild up. As he did so the child presented him with a photograph of herself, tied with white satin ribbon, with three exquisite pale blush roses and with a superb gold pen inserted in the roses’ stems. Ilie President banded it to Mrs. Cleveland, who Liv ed with evident pleas ure ami kisreri the child. The President then kissed the lovely little girl as be banded her back to the man servant. The nrocession seemed to have baited, and the knightly e.-oi:. superbly mounted, set up wild cheers as Mrs. Cleveland kissed fbe Georgia girt, and the crowd, taking up the cheers, made the air reverberate with glad shouts. On the broad porch of Dr. Ran kin's mansion, were sitting Dr. J. W. and Mrs. Rankin an I family, anil Col. and Mrs. H. J. Lamar, and Mrs. Edward McLaren, of Macon, and other guests. As the Presi dent’s cartage passed on, Mrs. Cleveland, who had just read the cant attached to the pkotograob, looked toward the noble South ern man.-iin, smiled and bowed graciously to those ou the porch. On the card attached to the graceful gift, was the following: “For the President and Mrs. Cleveland, with love. The picture of a little Georgia girl, Valerie Lamar Rankin.” The Beau Ideal of a Family Medicine. A remedy which promptly and completely re lieves ailments of such common occurrence as indigestion, constipation, biliousness and disor ders of a malarial type, is assuredly the beau irtt-ai of a family medicine Such is Hostetter s Stomach Bitters, which is not only capable of eradicating these complaint*, but also counter acting a tendency to kidney troubles, rheuma tism and premature decadence of stamina. Taking it "all round." awthe pi rase is. there is probably not in existence so uselul. effectiveaml agreeable a household panacea as the Bitters. Nor is it les highly esteemed by the medical profession thanby the families of America. Num berless testimonials from professional sources of irrefragable authenticity evince its merit. The demand for it abroad, no loss than in the land of its discovery, is certainly increasing, time and expel ience of its beneficent effects Confirming the high opinion originally formed of it.
