rapidly. The interior finish is going for
ward, mantels being put on, shortly the car
pets will lx: laid, and the furniture will
arrive and lie placed. The manager will

Hygeia Hotel at Old Point Comfort.
Hinesville Gazettr: Winfield W. Geiger,
of Bryan, is justly ranked among our lead
ing farmers. He lias harvested owr'
850 bushels of coni from fifty aci-es.
This is not equal to the Western prairie
country, where corn is more plentiful than
wood, and is sometimes used as a substitute
for coal, but an average of seventeen bushels
to the acre will do very well for the fiat
woods of Brvau. It is needless to add that
Mr. Geiger has fat horses, fat hogs and fat
chickens.
Montgomery Superior Court is in session
this week. It is probable that the triai of
I. J. Davis, for the murder of Miller, will
come off at this term of the court. Davis
is at present confined c*v safe-keeping in the
jail at Macon. Over 100 w itnesses are sule
poenaed in this ease, and it will consume
considerable time to examine them. There
is also a case for rape pending that will
probably be heard at this term, and the two
cases together bid fair to bankrupt the
broad state of Montgomery.
At Atlanta the Capital City Bank has
sold to Eiseman Bros, the store now occu
pied by that firm for $35,000. The bank
bought the property for $23,000 and has
added $4,000 in improvements. The other
property held by the bank has increased in
about the same proportions. J. W. Harle
has bought $llO,OOO worth of stock of the
bank. This is the ties: co-operative hank
started in Atlanta, anil its success is signifi
cant It has Atlanta real estate as a basis
of investment, and that beats gold.
A large meeting of colored citizens of
Augusta was held Tuesday night, to hear
from Philip Joseph, the Director General
of the National Exposition of the Colored
Raoe, to be held in Atlanta ill Novemlier,
1888. It was unanimously di-cided that the
colored people of Augusta should make an
exhibit. The object of the exposition is to
show r the progress of the raoe, both intel
lectually and mechanically in the past
twenty-five years. They expect to raise
$30,000 in shares of $5 each. It will lie the
biggest show ever gotten up by colored
people of this country.
A crazy negro woman employed a con
tractor in Augusta to build her a $OlO
dwelling on leased land out in the southern
portion of the city. After the building was
completed the contractor called upon the
woman for his money, when much to his
surprise she informed him that she had no
money. The contractor was so jierplexed
t hat he did not know wha to do, but he
decided to hold the keys anil not give them
up, but sold the. house on a monthly pay
ment plan to the owner of the lot. Con
tractors are generally very shrew'd men,
but this time one of the fraternity was bad
ly downed.

Augusta Chronicle: The capital of Geor
gia in 1778 wav the town of Augusta. One
hundred years have passed and the city is
not listed among the dead towns of Georgia,
but is foremost in the ranks of the manu
facturing cities of tlie United State*,, the
leading cotton market of the South, and
fast becoming the great commercial mart
and distributing point of the South. In 1780
Savannah was beeeiged, and the cupital
was removed to Augusta. Iu 1787
ail of ;tbe original State* save
Rhode Island met and adopted the constitu
tion of the United States. At the town of
Augusta on Jan 3, 1788, the constitution of
the United States was adopted on behalf of
Georgia by a convention of delegates from
different parte of the State. In 1780 ail the
delegates selected to the Georgia Legisla
ture were from Richmond county.
The Capitol then stood where U.
Gray & Co.’s dry goods establishment
now stands, and it was not until 1873 that
the walls of the old Capitol wore torn down
to permit of the improvement of the build
ing now occupied by Messrs. C. Gray &
Cos. There still remains a stone in the rear
of the building, oil Mclntosh street, which
marks the site of the old Capitol. A num
ber of Augusta’s leading merchants and
citizens propose to celebrate during 1888 the
centennial of tin- signing of the constitution
by Georgia and the manufacturing city of the
Boutli is to have then, besides n grand July
State fair or exposition, a trade-review anil
b grand military eneamgnient. The idea is
to make this one of the most memorablo oc
casions, not only in the history of the State,
but the South. This- lieing the largest man
ufacturing city in the South, it is the proper
place to show the changes that the past cen
tury has made, mid no better place could lie
selected. The gentlemen who have this
great project in hand have not decided
exactly whut time they will have the pro
posed big celebration.

Four burly negroes walked into the store
of Dusenberry & Ellis, of Lake Como, Mon
day, and seemed to want nothing more than
to find a place in which to loiter. Mr.
Dusenborry was alone at the time and hav
ing business to attend to went to his office,
near the rear of the store, and commenced
to write. The idea occurred to him that
the negroes might want something else, so
lie slouched his hat over his eyes, and with
one eye on his visitors and the other on his
work lie proceeded. In a moment more one
of the colored brothers reached for a !x>x of
cigars and donated an ample supply to him
self. Soon after Mr. Dusenberry was called
by one of them and wanted sc. worth of
crackers. After waiting on him he walked
leisurely to his bad: room, took two cartrid
ges with him and came out with his trusty
gun in his hand. As he walked toward the
negroes he placed the cartridges in the gun
and ordered them out of the store; they
stepped out. when he said to the man he saw
stealing, “now take those cigars out of your
pocket and leave here as fast as your feet
will carry you, or I’ll (ill you full of shot.”
The man addressed made a spasmodic lunge
into liis pocket with one hand and dejxisited
the weeds on a chair and departed iu hot
haste without a word of argument. They
were easily convinced, and believed in otiey
ing orders.
Lake Worth has* just been startled by the
news of the horrible death of James E.
Hamilton, one of the most worthy young
citizens. He was the mail carrier on the
route between Lake Worth and Miami, and
was devoured by sharks while crossing
Hillsborough Inlet. Mr. Hamilton was an
athletic young man, and carried tire light
mail betweeu the two places on bis back,
walking the ocean beach the greater part of
the entire distance, which is over seventy
live miles. The dread of the mail carrier
or visitor to Miami are the Hillsborough
and New River Inlets, which have to be
crossed by small boat-s. Here the dark
waters of the everglades empty into the
ocean with tremendous force in the rainy
season, and if the ocean is rough,
the meeting of heavy seas against
the out-pouring current, renders
crossing difficult and dangerous. Sharks
abound in these inlets. Mr. Hamilton set
out with the mail on Tuesday morning
from Orange Grove House of Refuge, and
was due at the New River station, twenty
live miles distant, in the afternoon, but
never arrived. The mail and his clothing
were found at Hillsborough inlet on a tree to
which his boat for crossing was generally
tied, but the skiff was found on the other
side, where it had been taken and left by a
tramp, who had crossed some dßys lretore.l
Mr. Hamilton doubtless attempted to swim
aero** the inlet for his boat, and met his
death in the attempt. No remains have
been east up by the sea, and it is but too
evident that ho was eaten by the monsters
which infest the place.
Forgot His Intended’s Name.
From the Albany (Ga.) News and Advertiser.
A country darkey applied at the Ordina
ry’s office in this city, one day this week, for
a marriage license. Mr. 8. J. Jones, who
was acting for Ordinary Odom, procured a
blank, and prejiared to issue the necessary
pajier. When the darkey was called upoii
to furnish the name of his fair inamorata
he looked puzzled, and then a look of con
sternation spread over liis ebony-huod coun
tenance us he lugubriously said:
“Fore God, Boss, I’se done forgot dat gal’s
name, ami she jess tole me dis morning.”
The darkey hastened off and soon returned
with the name of liis intended spouse, and
left rejoicing with the marriage license.

HARNEY'S REVENGE.
Events Following the Massacre on the
Caloosahatchie.
From the Florirht Farmer and Fruit firoo'er.
When the massacre on the Caloosahatchie
ended the truce which had for a short time
suspended operations against the Semiuoles,
the war open with renewed activity. The
naval force on the coast consisted of the top
sail schooners Flirt, Wave and Otsego, com
manded resjiect,ively by Lieut. Corn. J T.
M>'l,aughliii, Lieut. John Rodgers, (late
Admiral), Passed Midshipman Edmund
Shubrich. The army force consisted of the
Third Artillery, Sixth Infantry, Second
Dragoons and a jmrt of the Seventh In
fantry. The Eight Infantry came later,
under command of Col. Worth, who
soon after was promoted, and, relieving
Gen. Zachary Taylor, pushed active
operations until the war was practically
ended.
Col. Harney was raging mad when he
reached Biscayne Hey. swearing the bitter
est vengeance on the murderers of his brave
men. it was murder in its broadest sense,
for the men fell not as soldiers in battle,
but were surprised iu bed, shot down, slain
and scalped, with no chance for resistance.
On the island which forms Cajie Florida,
there were several companies of the Third
Artillery, and two companies of the Second
Dragoons. Harney, us Lieutenant-Colonel,
ranked all the officers at the post, and the
naval men having a large number of ex
press canoes which had been made expressly
for their use in following the Indians up
the rivers, lagoons and bays along the
coast, made this easy of accomplish
ment.
Calling for volunteers, the brave Harney
soon had 200 picked men, sailors and sol
diers, ready for a start. I forget just now
the names of ail the officers that went along.
1 am almost sure that Gen. T. W. Hhermau
(since dead) was one, for he was at the post
as Lieutenant Commanding. I know the
late Gen. Ord, was there, also Lieut. Rod
ney, of Delaware, a gallant dragoon, and
Capt. Fulton, of the same regiment. Fran
cis Kee Murray, John Contee and Lieut.
Rodgers, were in the naval contingent.
Taking with them a coil of smalt, strong
rope they got off just before dark, provis
ioned for ten days, armed and munitioned
for a week’s steady fighting, if it came to
that. There were thirty boats and canoes,
aver aging about seven men in each. They
jiaddled as silently as possible up to old Fort
Dallas, at the mouth of Miami river, and
entering it, pushed silently and rapidly into
the Everglades. The strictest orders were
given not to fire a gun, nor even give ail
order in a loud tone. An experienced guide
was in the first canoe, and the others fol
lowed iu a lino as close as one could be kept
to another. It took nearly all night to pass
up the shallow, sinuous stream and get into
the “glades.” Then, fearing to be discov
ered, they lay all day close on a little island,
watching through their glasses for smoke or
signs of occupation on the islands in sight.
On one of the largest of these islands they
saw evident signs of occupation, but none
of alarm to show that their presence had
been discovered. They knew they were
near the haunts of “Sam Jones,” or Ar
piaka, tne oldest chief in the Seminole na
tion, and of Chikaka, the giant Fishing
Chief, who was supposed to have been at the
head of the party that committed the mas
sacre they were now to avenge.
All day, resting and sleeping as much as
they could, they lav by, eating their cooked
provisions, waning" for night to cover their
movements. The night came, dark and
cloudv enough to cover their approach to
the island. Every man was on the alert,
itrms were inspected, orders given to keep
in line until close to the island, when certain
of the boats were to lay off around it to cut
off escape, while three lauding jrarties were
to advance and surprise the enemy, not a
shot to be fired until they were discovered
by the Indians. “Then,” said Hajpey with
a bitter oath, “go in for work. Kill or cap
tm'e all you see, young and old, he or she.
Spare them only as they spared my poor
boys over on the Caloosahatchie.”
On, slowly and steadily, the muffled pad
dies rising with measured cadence, they
pushed through the shallow water and stiff
saw grass. It was not more than six or
seven miles, apparently, they had to go,
but they were until near midnight before
getting'into position for act ion, close up to
the covered island. Harney and his dra
goons, with carbiues, took the centre; the
artillery men, with mu-diets, the right; the
navy men, the left armed with United
States Yager rifles. Forward, was the com
mand passed in whispers from officers to
men. On—and soon a scent of smoke greet
ed them. Still onward and a chorus of
yelping curs greeted them. “Forward
double quick.”
In a few seconds they burst into their vil
lage of palm-thatched'houses, with smould
ering fires around among them, and a hor
rible yell and a scattering lire from the
startled red skins greeted them as they rush
ed in, firing as they went. The surprise was
complete. Fifteen or twenty shots from the
Indians, a full volley from the whites, and
all who were not down, dead or wounded,
fell to the earth in submission, except four
or five who lied off in the darkness ninong
the trees and shrubbery. Among these was
the gigantic Chikaka,dropping bis rifle from
a brokon arm as he ran.
A brave private in the Second Dragoons
—his name was Hall, and he was made a
Sergeant soon after —saw Chikaka as he ran,
and followed, carbine in hand. He never
lost sight ef the chief, but kept on until he
could get a sure shot. Wounded and bleed
mg, Chikaka found he could not escape. He
halted, threw up his left uninjured hand,
and cried out in his broken English. “No
shoot! Me good Indian—heap good! No
Shoot!” “Take that for Caloosahatchie;”
shouted Hall, as ho sent a ball through the
chief’s heart. Ail instant later lie tore the
scalp from Chikaka's head, and then ran
hack to the village to present it to Col.
Harney. The Colonel was standing by
some wounded officers and men of his com
mand, looking sternly at the group of terri
fied prisoners and a small pile of dead and
dying Indians. “Bring that coil of rojre
from my boat!” he shouted to one of tne
men, “aud be -quick about it. We
will have a hanging bee before the sun ris#s.”
And he <lid.
I acknowledge my indebtedness to my

lars, for fifty years will make many a break

Important Trial at Winter Park.
From the Orlando (Fla.) Record.
The pupils of Rollins College, at Winter
Park, have adopted among themselves a
high standard of morality (very commend
able), nnd for any infraction of the rules u
court is organized, a trial had, und if guilty,
the culprit!* punished. Yesterday atrial was
had at Winter Park in which two young
lady pupils from Orlando figured on the
south side of “vs.” it appeal's that the
young ladies neglected to take with them
their railroad tickets, and had to pass on the
tickets of others. That was regarded as a
flagrant violation. A court was organized
during the recess, to prosecuting attorneys
were appointed, and two volunteered for
tlie defense, after which the accused were
formally arraigned for cheating and swind
ling the South Floridy Railroad Company,
and they pleaded “not Guilty."
The trial proceeded, and during the ex
amination of witnesses much bright repartee
was indulged in. After the evidence had
closed, ana the young “sprouts” of the law
had prepared for the occasion, the court
summed up the facts and reluctantly came
to the conclusion that the “fair ones” were
guilty as cluu'ged in the information,
whereupon one of the attorneys tor the de
fence very gallantly offered to beat- the
punishment, and at once demanded the right
of “wager of battle,” who after a round or
two with prosecuting Attorney Way was
knocked out of the ring. Thus ended the
trial, and the young ladies returned to their
studies wiser and better girls, and fully con
vinced that justice is blind, making no
distinction and knowing no sex.

A POLICEMAN’S STICK.
Raised to Strike the Principal Keeper
of the Penitentiary.
From the Atlanta l(hi.) Journal.
Col. J. B. Towers, the principal keeper of
the penitentiary, is a quiet, dignified gentle
man, hut his acquaintances know that he is
as firm as a rock when aroused.
An incident occurred at the car-shed
Thursday evening v. hicli stirred the Colo
nel’s indignation, and will probably result
in the trial of a policeman before the com
missioners.
A little after 1 o’clock. Col. Towers start
ed to outer the depot to take the 1 :40 train
for Marietta. He went into a wide open
entrance near the baggage room, and was
making his way into the depot.
Col. Towers says that four or five jiersons
—onoof them a lady—passed in ahead of
him. The policeman shook hands with those
jieople and let them pass.
Col. Towers had gotten little past the
policeman when he jerked him back and
said:
“You can’t pass here.”
"I see others going in,” said the Colo
nel.
“Well, you can’t go in.” and with this the
policeman jerked Col. Towers back again
and rattled his ajub. Col. Towers threw up
bis walking-stick, a good stout one, and
said:
“Keep your bands off me, sir. If you
touch nit; again I will break your head."
In spite of bis 00 years, Col. Towers,
with an uplifted stick, is not a pleasant
man to tackle. Ho is very muscular, and
when enraged his action is quick and vigor
ous.
The policeman said to him •
“If you were not an old man I would
show you my authority.”
“Just consider me 25, if you want to
show your authority that way," said Col.
Towers.
There the matter ended, and Col. Towers
went to another gate, where he was admit
ted without difficult)-.
He says lie saw other people go in after he
was refused admission, and that no police
man had a right to exclude him when he
had a ticket. He sars that he will find out
the name of that policeman if it takes six
months, and he will report him to the com
missioners.
A Brave Soldier.
From the Albany (Go.) Nete* and Advertiser.
Old man Jacob Davis, the well known
peddler of this section, was one of the
bravest of the many dauntless soldiers wiio
wore the gray. His comrades in arms love
him for the dangers that he braved so
heroically, and many times lias the writer
heal'd of deeds of valor done by the old man
when the battle raged hottest.
He was a member of Company B, Second
Georgia, under Ranse Wright, and went
with nis command into the historic battle
of the Wilderness. In that battle he dis
tinguished himself by the capture of a
Union battle flag bearing the device: “God
Save the Union.”
His com puny led a charge on the Yankee
battery, and he was the first to mount the
breastworks, just when the standard bearer
hold aloft his colors as a rallying point for
his demoralized comrades.
Uncle Jacob went for him and demanded
the surrender of the colors, but was met
with a refusal. With fixed bayonet he pre
pared to transfix the brave Union soldier,
aud in the rencounter worsted him aud just
as he was about to plunge the bayonet into
the color bearer’s prostrate form, the latter
gave the Masonic sigu of distress. Uncle
Jacob was not a Mason, but a Confed
erate, recognizing the sign of distress,
rushed up and interposed himself between
them, and thus saved the life of the Union
soldier.
Uncle Jacob, after assisting in spiking
the guns of the enemy’s battery, bore the
colors he had captured off in triumph and
delivered them at Confederate headquar
ters.
Mr. Davis goes to Macon this morning to
be with the old veterans in the, possibly,
last review of the soldiers of the “Lost
Cause” by the grand old chieftain, Jefferson
Davis.
On sunny shores of tropic isles,
Where all the year bright verdure smiles,
Constant fragrance fills the air;
Yet will SOZODONT compare
With those odors of the South,
While it cleanses teeth aud mouth.
