On the old Whit Holly nlace, in East Ma
con, lives Mr. Phillips. 'He is a farmer, and
in one of the fields an old well had been cov
ered over, on a level with the surface, and
gradually the soij had accumulated on the
cover until all traces of the treacherous pit
were obliterated. Saturday a hoi-se, while
browsing about in the field, walked on to the
trap, the covering gave way, and the steed
fell to the bottom, a distance of forty feet.
The bottom caved in to such an extent that
the horse is able to stand up, anil food has
tieen dropped into the well for him while
efforts are being made to get him out. At
first parties started to dig him out, but this
proved a hopeless task, and now the owner
and others interested are discoursing whether
to use a windlass, jackscrows or dynamite
in rescuing the unfortunate animal
At Macon, Tuesday morning, Master La
i mar Washington, the 6 montbs-old grand
son of CoL H. J. Lamar, called on Mr.
i Davis. The handsome youngster bore with
j him a magnificent cut glass decanter of rare
j old Madeira wine. On the decanter was a
beautifully cut scene of trees, ferns and
J deer. The wine was full of age and rich to
j oiliness. The decanter was a present to Mr.
| Davis. With the glass Master Washington
I carried an exquisite cut wine glass. From
this Mr. Davis drank to the health of tho
j handsome infant and gave a kingly blessing
to the scion of a noble old Georgia family.
The glass was carried home by the baby to
be us<“d at his wedding. As the nurse was
leaving with Master W ashington Mr. Davis
charged her to be careful of the baby, as
she would wish for happiness in the here
after.
Waynesboro True Citizen: For a short
time on Thursday afternoon Waynesboro
was utterly dumbfounded. A gentleman
came hurriedly from the depot ami reported
that the agent, (who is a skillful operator)
had read snatches of messages a they passed
over his wires, that Prosideut Cleveland
had been shot while leaving the White
House and was not expected to live, and
that thousands of people hal collected, etc..
Telegrams from both of our offices were
hurriedly sent to Augusta inquiring
the particulars. In the meanwhile
our people waited anxiously, their
gloomy expressions and sad face*
indicating dearly that they realized
fully the situation. A Democratic Pre-i
dent dead and his place filled by a Republi
can. A Republican Cabinet, and thousands
of good men turned out of office, and the
whole country turned topsy turvey. The
clearer we took in the situation, the worse
we felt. But—Allah be praised—in n few
moments the joyful tidings wore Hashed to
us from Augusta that there was no truth
in the report and that the great Cleveland
“still lived and moved and nod his being,”
not only the President in es.ir , but also the
President in futuro. The sun shone out
again and Waynesboro caught its breath.
The country was safe, and an honest ad
ministration still holds the reigns of gov
ernment.
Jailer Birdsong arrived in Macon at 6:30
Saturday evening having in charge Thomas
Wool folk. The jailer, accompanied by
Thomas J. Dames, left Macon early Satur
day morning, and it was their intention to
bring Woolfolk on the train arriving in
Macon at 10:40 Saturday night, hut their
presence in Atlanta becoming known they
decided to coine earlier. Woolfolk was
quite talkative during the trip. He said
he was glad to get back to Macon. He felt
happier than ever in his life before. because
he had been accused of tilings of which he
was innocent. He said lie did not care
what, was done with him, that he could not
be killed but one time. He did not s|-ak of
the crime, but he frequently said that lie
was an innocent man, and that the deed
was committed by someone else. He in
creased considerably in Uesh while in jail in
Atlanta. He was allowed no privileges
there, and of these restrictions he com
plained in the letter written to Solicitor
Hanlemaii. Ho was not allowed in the
corridors with the other prisoners, and as
cold weather was coming, he thought it a
great punishment to bo deprived of going
out. of his cell to the stove. Saturday the
newsboy on the train discovered that Wool
folk was aboard, and soon every passenger
knew it. When the train arrived at a station
some passenger would get off and tell it that
Woolfolk was on board, and then everybody
at the station would crowd in to get a
glimpse of the man charged with the mur
der of nine persons. It is thought that the
trial will not take place for two or three
weeks.

an orange crop. They were addressed by
Senator A. S. Mann, who explaimsl what

buy our fruit. He said the company would

man by the name of F. hernley arrested for
procuring from him a railroad ticket under
false pretenses. The circumstances of the

Fernley, who represented C. F. Love & Cos.,
of Chicago, soliciting orange and vegetable
shipments from Florida, called on Mr. Hop
kins and purchased a ticket to Omaha,Neb.,
for a woman whom he represented as his
sister and giving in payment a draft on C.
F. Love & Cos. The draft was sub
sequently returned with payment re
fused, and Mr. Hopkins had to lose the
amount of the ticket. Since that time he
has kept up a constant watch for Fernley
with a view of having him arrested on
sight. Reeently he returned to
the city occupying the position of
solicitor of fruits and vegetables
for not only C. F. Love & Cos., of Chicago,
but alsoof B. F. Coombs & Bro., of Kansas
City, Dair Bros., of Cincinnati, and Num
irieuhotf & Cos., of Indianapolis. As soon as
Mr. Hopkins discovered Fernley on Satur
day, be had him arrested under the above
charge, whereupon the latter telegraphed
B. F. Coombs & Cos., asking if they would
honor his draft for $45, to which they re
plied, “We will protect draft,” whereupon
the draft was drawn and turned over to Mr.
Hopkins, and the person was released from
custody.
A |sipka City is one of the most pleasantly
situated towns in Mouth Florida, and it is
by no means a wild fancy to conclude that
it has a very bright future before it—grand
ami substantial. It has a history dating as
far back os the year 1851, since which time
it has been steadily and surely assuming
shape, until now it is a creditable-looking
and prosperous town of about I,OUO inhabit
ants, and despite the fact of the cholera be
ing near New York, and that yellow Jack
has been cutting his monkey shines at Tam
pa, and that there are land sharks fleecing
the simple out in California. Apopka City
is on the high road to a remarkable prosper
ity. Apopka City has five church orgaizu
tions. Baptist, Congregational, Methodist,
Presbyterian, and one colored Masonic
Lodge; a Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion; newspaper (the Apopka City Union);
two railroads; a bank: four real estate agen
cies; two lawyers; two practicing physi
eians; one dentist; six provision stores; one
hardware house; three dry goods stores: two
furniture store*; three hotels; two bakeries;
tiusliop; three drugstores; one wagon man
ufactory ; two livery stables; two blacksmith
shops; a billiard hall; a fruit and lemonade
store; two saw mills, a shoemaker, etc.
Some of the finest orange and lemon
orchards in the State are to be found in the
vicinity of this town. A bright good show
ing for a town, eh; Everything is boom
ing right along and a prosperous
winter ami spring is anti-i
pitted. Prospective settlers are
beginning to arrive. Real estate is chang
ing hands right briskly, new houses are go
ing up in all directions and contracts are lie
ing let out for others. Three and a half
miles to the southwest stands out in bold re
lief the great A*popka Ijtke, which is next
to the largest body of water in the State;
three and a half miles to northeast is Clay
Springs, renowned for its healing waters
ami beautiful scenery. Between these two
(joints of so great interest, and conveniently
near to either, is (as just stated) the town of
Apopka City.
SNAKES IN FORSYTH COUNTY.
An Old Deacon Relates a Wonderful
Story.
Taylor Strickland, of Cumming (Ga.)the
negro who killed the horned snake some
time ago, killed anothei a few days ago,
evidently a mate to the first, and near the
same place. It measured nine feet, had a
bull-like head nearly as large as a calf’s, and
a four inch horn on the end of its tail. An
old darkey standing by when the description
was given, said:
‘Dat was’er mighty small snake of its
kind. 1 killed one down de Chattahoochee
l sit tom dat niezered thirteen feet, un had cr
horn seven inches. It had deadened all de
timber on bof sides er river fu’rz yo’ could
see. I ’low dat was a biggest suuke ever
foun’ in dis state. - ’
“Humph! Ytr knows mighty little 'bout
snakes ef yo’ dinks dnt,” said another white
haired old darky, who looked disgusted at
such a weak recital of reptile stories. “I
kill er snake one time down in south Georgia
what was iiftoen feet long und bigger ’roun
en my body; it jes’ eat all de hogs en chick
ens, un young calves in tie settlement. < >ue
day it cum to do skool house door un look
in at de winder, un dat skool wasde quickes’
absolved yo' eber did see. Atter dat all tie
white folks un niggars turned out, wld guns
un dogs, un sarched till dey found bint. He
was tryin - ter drag an old ox lied kil’ti
down inter an’ old well wen dey shot him. - ’
“Dar wuz er black snake run dis nigger
one time,'’ remarked another darkey who
had been an attentive listener to the forego
ing tales; “I wuz fishin’ in de Hightower,
un havin’ mighty good luck, when I sen a
long jioleer sorter flotin’ down stream. Welt
tbit didn’t caision no notis; I jis ftsli on, but
mighty soon dat pole stick his head up right
dar under me, un golly! it wur no pole, it
wur a snake wider head long’es my arm. 1
jes’ jump back er bout fifteen feet un started
cross fields un fences wid dad snake lookin’
over my shoulder all 'e time; he’d sort a
turn up he head az if axin’ why f didn’t
run. He teas me dat way erbuut four mile,
un I happen to run pas’ er big sycamore tree,
un er suake wur so bizzy lookin’ up in my
face he didn't notis tie tree, un jis run right
up to de top. When I look back, dar he wuz,
lus head pintin’ straight up, waitin fo’ me
ter come down. - ’
“Is you member aw de chu’ch, sonny!”
asked the first old darky.
“Yes, sah; I’se er deacon. Why!”
“ Kase dar wur some feat’ers in dat liar
rativ dat seemed kind er ’jectionable. But
if you's er deacon, I know in course its
right.”
