Exposition.
H. D. Watts, a grocer of Americus, has
transferred liis stock of groceries and brick
business block to his two principal creditors,
Johnson & Harris aud J. D. Hudgins, of
Mai •on.
Atlanta claims that the Piedmont Exjiosi
tion has a cash profit of SIO,OOO, besides pay
ing over #15,000 for the buildings aud
grounds. This alleged success has caused a
plan to be started for a world’s fair in 1880.
Henry W. Grady has just been presented
•with aii elegant and costly testimonial for
his services to the city of Atlanta. The
present was a handsome tea and coffee set,
of solid silver, consisting of six pieces, anjl
cost $1,200.
The bell for the new court house clock at,
Americus has arrived, and it is a huge affuc.
It weighs 1,040 pounds, is 30 inches in
diameter at the,base and SO inches deep. A
man can safely squat down under -it, aud he
would be in a good safe prison.
The Atlanta police arrested one of Mari
etta’s most upright citizens at the Piedmont
Fair for a pickpocket last week. A man in
a crowd had his watch stolen, and a fellow
with a slouch hat got it. Tile Marietta citi
zen, who was standing near, wearing a stiff
hat, was taken as the party, arrested und
searched. Of course, not finding the watch
on his person, they had to turn him loose,
while the real thief had time to get away.
There was no prouder boy in Americus
last Monday than Master Shelby Mvrick,
when lie went to the train to see Ex-Presi
dent Davis. The little fellow wore a medal
E resented to his grandfather, Col. James
i. Scudiler, of Tennessee, for bravery at the
battle of Monterey in Mexico, when ho
fought by the side of Mr. Davis. The modal
was le£t as a legacy to Master Shelby, who
wouldnot take thousands of dollars for it.
At Rome, Tuesday, Pro Tern Mayor
Printup ordered the washing of the street
oars stopped. It was a singular edict, and
one the company could not understand.
They had obtained permission of the Coun
cil to wash the cars on Broad street, and
had gone to the expense of putting in
proper appliances. Mayor Knox knew
nothing of the issuing of the order until
< 'ol. Magruder told him of it. He revoked
it at once.
Prof. Connor, Superintendent of the deaf
and dumb asylum at Cave Springs, has a
pin that contains a relic that he prizes very
highly. It is a miniature hat. perfect in
shape, made out of a piece of the hat Jeffer
son Davis wore on his visit to Atlanta, and
which was torn into hundreds of pieces by
some of the old chief’s admirers, who want
ed the pieces as relics. Ho secured several,
and, out of one. had a hat made and put. in
a gold frame.
On Saturday night last Messrs. C. C.
Knowles, J. AV. Boswell, Willie Keller,
Henry Bibby, Albert and Robert Gibson,
aud perhaps others all of Talbotton,
started out for a ’possum hunt. It is said
that three of the party had pistols, and
soon after getting into the woods they
began to fire off t heir pistols,and Albert Gib
son, the smallest and youngest of the party
was hit by a pistol ball. It entered his In sly
in the back, near the spinal column and just
below his shoulder blade. He will probably
recover.
A law suit is to be instituted against the
estate of the late Judge N. B. Knight, of
Marietta, by Mrs. M. E. Towler. of Arkan
sas. sister to Judge Knight, for the recov
ery of #3,000 and interest for twenty-seven
years, which would make it about #B,OOO. It
is claimed that the amount was trust money
under a will from Mis. Towler’s father, an l
that Judge Knight was made trustee under
the will to keep Mrs. Towler’s husband from
handling the money. Judge Knight’s wife
claims to hold receipts from the husband of
Mrs. Towler in settlement of the claim, but,
it is said, the will does not recognize Tow
lor’s right to receipt for the money. Equities
are claimed on both sides.
Capt. W. H. Tondee, of Americus, lias in
his possession an Indian pipe that was
given to his brother, Capt. Robert Tondee,
by an Indian in Kansas in 1858 or 1859.
Ihe bowl of the pipe is of red marble, very
large and heavy. The stem is of some hard
wood, about two feet long, oval shape, one
and a quarter inches broad and one quarter
inch thick. It is both a puzzle aud a curi
osity. There are sixteen holes cut through
the stem from side to side, some in the
centre and some on the outer sides, and the
smoke hole lengthway through the stem is
the puzzle. How it was made through the
bajfl wood, which is one piece, and curved
around the holes and brass-headed tacks
that ornament it is a puzzle.
Martin Brooks, living near Fiekling’s
mill, in Taylor county, lias a small, white
handle pocketknife purchased in South Car
olina by the great-grandfather of Sir.
Brooks in 3734. It has been kept in the
family, and handed down from sire to son
for 153 years, and is now the property of
Mamie, the little daughter of Mr. Brooks,
who prizes the knife very much, it having
been given by her grandmother. The knife
has only one small blade, and is consider
ably worn from having been very much
used. In olden times steel pens were not
known, and “old Mother Goose" in those
days furnished the only instruments for
writing, and this knife was purchased and
used principally for trimming goose quiUs
for writing pens.
Rumor has it that Henry W. Grady has
resigned his membership in the Capital City
Club of Atlanta. This is how the story is
told upon the streets: When the Capital
City Club entertained President Cleveland
there was a rush for tickets, and the com
mittee that had the reception in hand found
no little trouble in filling the demands. Mr.
Henry W. Grady dropped a note
to the committee requesting fifty
blank tickets, to be filled out by himself.
The committee refused the request on
the ground that it was unconstitutional, that
is the by-laws prohibited the issuing of more
than a specified number to any member and
the giving of blank tickets to anybody un
der any circumstances. Mr. Grady appealed
to President Mims, and the President said
Mr. Grady ought to have tickets and should
have them. So the committee was appealed
to bv the President, but it did no good.
(Said the committee: “The President, Mr.
Grady, nor anybody else can make us vio
late the laws of the club.” And Mr. Grady
didn’t get the fifty blank tickets. So lie
wrote another note, and this time it was his
resignation as a member of the club.

miles up the railroad, and some fifty or sixty
feet from the track. One boot hail been re
moved, and in the sock at the foot of a tree,

and for this reason he is always called upon
to do this kind of work. On Tuesday he
was engaged in opening, by force, a safe for
Mr. T. V. Cashen, and in order to do so was
endeavoring to drive a bolt in by means of
a punch and sledgehammer. A strong man
was plying the sledge with all his power,
while Mr Gilbert directed the point of the
heavy steel punch against tho end of tho
bolt. Suddenly the man dealt the punch a
tremendous blow, which broke it into sev
eral nieces, and one piece struck Mr. Gilbert
in the mouth, knocking out two teeth,
breaking two others off and considerably
stunning him, but fortunately no further
injuries were sustained.
He Went Hie Bond.

Col. Thurman is a kind-hearted man, and
shows it every day he lives, some times in a
very peculiar manner, as will be shown fur
ther on. The Colonel has a number of ne
gro tenants on his farm, and some of them
are considered very bad pay when once
they get in debt. Tho most notorious one
of the lot in this respect a few days ago
picked up his belongings and skipped to an
adjoining plantation, where he boasted that
he had got off the Colonel’s lands without
paying rent, and as he was off the Colonel
could not make him pav. These boasts
coming to the ears of Col. Thurman he pro
ceeded to take out u distress warrant, aud a
bailiff went out and unceremoniously levied
on a lot of soeil cotton which tho negro hail
stored in his cabin.
This brought the negro to his senses and
he hastened off to town to see the Colonel
and straighten up affairs. He told a pitiful
story of want and struggles to keep the
wolf from the door, and was so pathetic in
the recital of his woes that the Colonel was
almost melted to tears. His feelings were
so wrought up that he went on the negro’s
Ikiuil for the forthcoming of the cotton,
which had been levied on for his benefit,’
when the negro returned home, profuse in
his promises to come and pay hiR indebted
ness so -soon as be could sell bis cotton.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. OCTOBER 28, 1887.
ARE THERE WILD HORSES?
i A Writer Gives Some Very Interesting
' Information on the Subject.
At a recent meeting of the Bombay Nat
i ural Historical Society, a paper was read by
iJ. H. Steele on flie subject of “Wild
Horses,” from which the following is taken:
"Is there such a thing us a wild horse, an
aboriginal or truly wild horse, in the world
now' The answer is more than doubtful.
The mustang of Mexico, the wild horse of
the South American pampas, the brumhi of
Australia, are all descendants of the domes
ticatod animals introduced from Europe.
The first horse was landed in America at
Buenos Ayres in 1.537. In 1380 that is, in
j less than fifty years—horses hail spread to
regions us remote ns Patagonia. In
Australia the diffusion of horses
that have escaped from civilization
has been quite as rapid, and iu
1875 it was found necessary to shoot as
many as 7,O(XJ wild horses in tho colony of
New South Wales alone. In some parts of
Australia the l#rse pest has received legis
lative notice. The wild horses tempt do
mesticated horses to join them, and wild
stallions also invade the Australian horse
runs and vitiate choice herds in a most an
noying manner. They recur to the ances
tral manners in a way that is always the
same. Each stallion, 1 Mr. Steele tells us,
has his following of mares, ranging from
a few up to forty or even fifty, aud these
parties may tie separate or banded to
gether into herds of considerable size, even,
it is said, 400 strong. The young and tho
weak males remain with a scanty or even
no following. The stallion has to main
tain his supremacy by frequent combats,
which especially occur at certain seasons
of the year. The animals are suspicious
in the extreme, swift in (light, but bold
in defense with tooth and heel in emer
gency. They range extensively in searcli of
pasture and water, and when hard pressed
by danger anil famine the herds break up.
It is said that each troop has a leader and
implicitly obeys him. He is the first to face
danger and give the hint to fly. When
pressed the horses form a ring, with the
mares and foals iu the centre, and defend
themselves vigorously with their heels, or
tiiey close in on tlieir opponent in dense
masses and trample him to death. It is dis
tinctly proved, then, that there can be no
aboriginal or wild horse ir either America
or Australia, although there are tens of
thousands of unowned horses. Tradition
points to Central Asia as the aboriginal
abode of the horse, and there the original
stock of wild horses may still jxissilily exist.
Darwin’s statement that no aboriginal or
truly wild liorso is known to exist must still
lie held as explaining the exact position
of this question; but, says Mr.
Steele, we must supplement it by
stating that ‘it is not certain that truly wild
horses do not exist;’ and, on the whole, Mr.
Steele concludes that the evidence is in fa
vor of the existence of tho wild horse in
Central Asia, but that we have no evidence
as to his pedigree in relation to domestica
tion. The wild horse of the British islands
is now practically the Shetland pony, but
lie is not the powerful animal described by
Ciesar. Tho domesticated animal every
where, however, reverts very easily to the
savage state, and of the wild horse, so con
sidered, Mr. Steele has much to tell us. His
paces are a walk and gallop. The double
and the centre are artificial, and it is still a
mooted question as to whether the wild
horse ever trots. ”
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
ideal of a family medicine. Such is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is not only capable of
eradicating these complaints, but also counter
acting a tendency to kidney troubles, rheuma
tism and premature decadence of stamina.
Taking it “all round,” as the pi rase is, there is
probably not in existence so useful, effective and
agreeable a household panacea as the Bitters.
Nor is it less highly esteemed by the medical
profession thanliy the families of America. Num
berless testimonials from professional sources
of irrefragable authenticity evince its merit.
The demand for it abroad, no less than in the
land of its discovery, is certainly increasing,
time and experience of its beneficent effects
confirming the high opinion originally formed
of it.
