Thirty-two thousand dollars was sub scribed at Lumber City Monday for the now Commercial Bank. Near Lumber City Monday Miss Buch anan was burned almost to death. Her clothing caught Arc and literally burned off. There is little hope of her recovering. It is more than probable that the next municipal election held in Jackson will be run upon the principle of “whisky or no whisky,” in the incorporate limits. Several nice little sums, ranging in amount from *3,500 to *13,000, it is rumored, were made in Albany by some of the cotton men during the resent fluctuations of the staple. Deputy Marshal A. P. Davis arrested Thomas E. Avery at Lumber City Monday, heretofore charged with the killing of Rufus Bailey. His commitment trial will take place at Newton Thursday. At Albany Monday Ruby Fleming, the little daughter of W. S. Fleming, was se verely burned.

Dutton, who lives in the lower portion of the county, brought to the Free Press a few days since the claws of a monster eagle, w hich meas ured six feet one inch from tip to tip. Mr. Dutton killed this eagle with his pistol while on his way to Quitman, only a lew miles from here. La Grange Reporter: Little Janie Speer has received Mrs. Cleveland's card and au tograph as an acknowledgment of her cour teous remembrance of the lady of the White House in presenting her a bouquet during her visit to Atlanta. It is adorned with a picture of the Executive Mansion It is a memento that will be sacredly preserved. Accompanying it was a pretty letter. Brunswick Advertiser: We have heard of a fail- damsel of about ninety-six pounds weight, who attended a “sugar bilin’ ” last week and remained about the works for twenty-four hours. She claims in that time to have eaten fourteen stalks of cane and drank fifty-seven glasses of the cane juice. She was Known Before to be one of the “sweetest” girls in the neighborhood. What must she be now. Monticello Times: Mr. W. P. Williams says he believes the cncoanut is a connecting link between the vegetable and the monkey. If you notice a eocoanut you will see"a great likeness in the eyes of the eocoanut and the head of a monkey. Then tho fur of eocoanut represents huir, the shell the skin, the meat of the eocoanut the flesh of the animal, and the milk the blood. What do you think about it? Griffin Net vs: Mr. J. B. Martin, of Car roll county, who lost a valuable valise with paper;, in it that w ere extremely valuable to him, in October, found his property in the possession of a Fayette county man, but his valuable papers had been destroyed. We understand that this is not the "first time that this man has been caught in such acts, and only the prominence of his connections keeps him from exposure. Rockmart Slate: It seems that no other towns have any female bicyclist or they think they cannot compete with our town, so we will have to coniine the race to home riders, as we learn that there are several here who have attained this difficult art. We will also suggest that the competitors efnploy some young men as trainers. It is more natural for the boys, and it will boa pleasure for them to render their services. Saturday night some unknown parties blew up old man Tomtorlin’s barn, about four miles northeast of Jasper, with dyna mite. Tomberlin is about 110 years old and is quite an old citizen. The night before someone turned over his barrel of syrup and wasted it all, some forty gallons. The people feel very indignant at the outrage. The explosion was heard eight or ten miles. The family have some suspicion, but no proof, as to the guilty parties. About fifty hands who hail been at work on the Georgia Southern and Florida rail road, came into Valdosta Saturday, look ing closely after the sub-contractor, under whom they had been working. A corres pondent interviewed the leader of the gang and was informed that they had failed to receive their pay on the day appointed, to wit, Nov. 15, in consequence" of which they had struck Their employer met them, partial payment was made and most of the hands returned to work. At Thomson Monday Little Louise, in fant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Watson, came very near happening to a serious accident. She was standing in front of the Arc, when her dress caught. Mr. and Mrs. Watson were both übsent from the room at the time, but her screams attracted the attention of Mr. Watson, who was in his library at the time, and he succeeded in extinguishing the tire before tho child was seriously burned, but not before his hands were badly burned. Her dress was very badly burned, and all the back of her hair was singed off. Roclunart Slate: On last Thursday the editor took a notion be would like to eat soma fame, so, in company with Mr. Bon Fambro, he started out. Alter going all the morning and shooting up 50c. worth of ammunition, and ruining a good suit of clothes, anil not getting any game, he gave It up in despair and started home completely fagged out. But it seemed as though fate was against him, for in attempting to cross a foot-log over t he creek his head commenced swimming, and, with a despairing yeli, ker slosh in he went. He is not going a-huntiug again until the year 2000, Maj. William A. Black died at Americus Saturday. He was quite an old man, near ing 80. He had been a man of prominence for more than fifty years, and was a mem ber of the Legislature from Monroe county when quite a young man. He lived many years at old Bond Town, now Ellaviiie, Schley comity; and through his influence the Southwestern railroad came near pass ing through Ellaviiie, instead of Americus. He had held many important public posi tions. He was for a long while agent of the Southwesten railroad in Americus. His last public trust was that of postmaster. He was succeeded in that position by Rost master J. C. Honey, about two years ago. Brunswick Advertiser: Some ugly curs have been killing sheep over the river near Battle & Ellis’ mill, and a man in the neighborhood named Drury took a dead sheep and pieces of beef and filled them full of strlchnine and put them out where dogs could get them. Up to this writing wo hear of two fine hunting dogs that have been killed from eating this meat. In addition to this daniago already done, there is no telling how many hogs may have eaten of this flesh. Strichnine, we understand, does not hurt a hog, but will kill the human being that eats the flesh of that hog any time in sixty days after. We learn that several at torneys have volunteered to prosecute this party as soon as the proofs are forth coming. Brunswick Journal: For a whole hour Monday afternoon a very big, hulking man dressed in the city livery and belonging to the chain-gang—not that which issues from the comity jail—was allowed the completest liberty to interview und be interviewed by his friends, with one of whom his interview was neither brief nor void of fruit to him self. His rendezvous was on Monk street, immediately opposite L’Arioso Hall, where his presence was not by any means agreea ble to the ladies there assembled. No guard was near him; he did no work; apparently be had none to do; in fact he was a gentle man at large. Yet the tax-payers pay for jus maintenance under the idea that he helps them of part of the expeuse by Gov, Gordon's mail is generally a heavy one, aud the missives are various and varie gated, sombre ami scented. Among the letters received Monday was one from Washington, Wilkes county, without signa ture, ana we give it verbatim: “Washing ton, 1887.—Hon. J. P. Gordon —Dear Sir: We the colored people of this county, feel verrv much embarist at seeing a man who isawillfull murderer walking at large in the midst of the innocent people, in the per son of a white man named Kam Bolton. He went to tho man as if on a friendly mission, called the man out of his house and shot him down just because the man called him by name without saying Mr. If we are to suffer such things as that in a Christian land and a sivel government, then we say God save us. Many a man are to-day in the State prison for attempt to murder without committing the crime. Think of what Mr. Brown said about that in ids address to the people. Such crime will forever breed a war spirit in the colored people when the law does not mete out justist. We try to live a law-abiding people, but when it comes to such open crime we feel we have a right to raise our voice in behalf of our color, and we appeal to your honor to take this matter into con sideration.” The parishioners of St. Luke's church, at Atlanta, were given something to talk about Sunday besides the excellent sermon of the rector, Rev. Mr. Barrett. Borne time ago Rev. Mr. Barrett signed a card circulated by many of the ministers of the city favoring the prohibition cause, and pledging their earnest efforts to the aid of the same. It is said that Rev. Mr. Barrett's action in the matter created some unfavor able comment among his parishoners, not that they denied to him the right to art and spenk as he pleased individually, but they believed that a minister should not sign his name to such a document sis the pastor of a church. Those parties so objecting regarded the minister’s card as a political document —one with which ministers should have nothing to do as ministers. The objection created no division, and did not in the least disturb the pleasant relations and affections tho objecting paid of the church had for its excellent pastor. The difference was solely in regard to tho propriety of the rector's actiona Sunday morning, at the morning service, Rev. Mr. Barrett said that he hail received soma notices that lie could not eon sistently read, but that he had others which he would read with the greatest pleasure, aud the rector then pro ceeded to read the usual church notices. Those he failed to read were the requests of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, asking that the minis ters of the city especially pray for the suc cess of the prohibition cause, and call upon all good people to do tho same. It is said that the reason why the notices were sent out was because it w’as the last Sunday be fore the election, and, perhajis, tho last time the full congregations would gather in their respective houses of worship before the great contest. It is supposed that the action of Rev. Mr. Barrett in regard to the matter was the result of the objection of a part of the congregation to his signing the card of the ministers. It is also supposed that, in dividually, the rector entertains his former sentiments, but out of resnoct to bis congre gation took the course where it was impossi ble to tread upon anyone’s toes. Jackson -Veins: The quart liar room opened up last week in Jackson in defiance of the City Council and the Ordinary, has now beeu doing business six days. The Council put a tax of *SOO on it, which the proprie tor refused to pay. The Ordinary refused to express an opinion unless It was shown that the City Council did not have jurisdic tion in the matter, and claims that no ap plication for license to sell by the quart has been made to him. Mr. F. H. Weaver se cured State and revenue license and is now selling whisky by the quart. There is dif ference of opinion among our citizens as to the authority of the Council to license the wholesale traffic It is be lieved that Mr. Weaver will be indicted by the grand jury for selling without the authority of the Ordinary, and that the indictment will hold good. The City Council have made cases against Mr. Weaver for each and every day he lias done business up to Thursday last, and the matter will be investigated before the Council Tuesday morning next at 9 o’clock. N>w cases will be made for each and every day he continues business. We understand that if the case goes against him an appeal to the Superior Court will be made. It is stated by the best legal authority that the City Council has full power to control the wholesale traffic in Jackson. Marshal Fox served five papers on F. H. Weaver yester day ordering him to appeal- before the Mayor’s Court to answer the charge of soiling spirituous liquors without license in tho incorporate limits of Jackson. The case is set for a hearing on next Tues day. Cols. Wright and Beck and W W. Anderson will appear for tho defense and Col. t'atchings for the prosecution. The question to tie determined is whether the Council has authority under the charter of Jackson to issue wholesale license to sell liquors in the incorporate limits and de mand *SOO for that privilege for about oue month. Much interest is lolt in this ease by all classes of our citizens, as it is anew question never before adjudicated, and upon which a variety of opinions are expressed. 3 ( FLORIDA. The orange crop from the Deßary groves near Enterprise will amount to about 5,000 boxes this season.

Browne, entered suit against the County Commissioners for *3,000 damages for failure upon their part to award the county printing to the Equator. The committee appointed by tho grand jury to examine the books of the different county officers of Volusia completed their work on Thursday. The books and offices of all the county servants were found to be in good condition. A number of workingmen held a meeting Sunday and organized the Jacksonville Pro tective and Co-operative Society.

Neither her father or mother had any i lea that sin-knew anything a) >out fire-arms, but she made tho best shots of any in tho party. Capt. James Wason was at Kissimmee last week. Though not huviug the appear ance of being over4s or 50 years of age, he is 07.

Little Ethel Peters, daughter of Prof. Peters, of Chicago, was drowned in a cis tern at tile Whisenant place, near Brooka ville, last Wednesday, and was buried at Lake Lindsay Thursday. It is supposed that she attempted to get a drink of water, and fell in from the weight of the hucket. The alleged murderers of Hollywood are still confined in the county jail at Brooks ville. Higgins and Bledsoe will probably furnish the required bail, *IO,OOO and #5,000 respectively. McGuire, Sharp and Thomp l son, who were committed without bail, will, it is rumored, lie taken to Jacksonville for safe-keeping. The cost of building operations in Dad" City during the past four months aggre gate's more than #50,000. representing a wholesome growth in jxipulatiou and pros perity.

The old bells in the cathedral tower at St. Augustine will lie rring*no more, except on state and solemn occasions. They have been silent since the great fire of last spring. The new chimes of the cathedral will mark St. Augustine’s new era of prosperity, while these old bells, which rang nearly 100 years ago, are relies of the Ancient City’s historic past. The grand jury presentment filed at Palatka Saturday, shows Forward to be an innocent man. The interested parties de nounce the grand jury. The universal opinion is that it is the best grand jury Putnam county has had in many years. The people of Palatka are talking of giving Forward and his counsel an ovation and torchlight procession. At Madison George Rivers, a colored youth, severely cut his brother, IS or 19 years of age, on the arm and about the face a few days since. Both claim that the in jury was done while playing. As the arm was nearly severed from the body by cne stroke of the knife the physicians think would be a bad pickle were he to be gin a slashing while in anger. The D. L. Geer factory at Lake City, re ceived Thursday about 400 pounds of nicely handled Cuba" leaf from B. Thomas, of Madison county, at 25c. per pound. Perry & Co.’s DeSoto factory purchased several small lots of Columbia "county tobacco dur ing the week at about the same figures, among which was an excellent lot of Cuba loaf from Calhoun Jones, of Suwannee Shoals.

Mr. Donald has long been one of the Board of Aldermen of the defunct corporation of Enterprise. Mrs. B. E. Carr’s new concrete residence on the Bay at St. Augustine is nearly ready for occupation. It is built on the old site, and from outward appearance a perfect re production of the old Spanish structure that was consumed in the big fire of last winter.

Hamilton Disston and a party of friends, consisting of John L. Hill, Daniel Mc- Clinch and William S. Dougless, reached Jacksonville Sunday, from Philadelphia, and registered at the Duval House. Mr. Disston visits the State to lookvafter his sugar oaue and land interests in South Florida, aud Mr. Hill comes to look after the development of the town of Riumy mode aud other interests owned by a syn dicate of capitalists, of which Mr". Hill is the representative. St. Augustine Weekly: Further evidence that a race of giants existed here prior to the coming of the white man, may be seen at the corner of the Cleveland House, on St. George street —an iron crow-bar ton feet long and four inches through, gradually ta pering to a point. It was dug up a short time since, and from its corroded appear ance must to very old. The occasional finding of human skeletons ten fe-t in height, shows in whose hands this formida ble instrument was used. Weight of bar 190 pounds At St. Augustine Monday morning about 9 o'clock u suspicious-looking white man t was discovered in the Lincolnville suburb ’with property belonging to J. Branmui and others, consisting of blankets and clothing. The policeman was about to arrest, him when the thief started on a run, jumping fences, etc., like a race horse, and at his heels a yelling crowd gave chase. At last he took refuge under a house and when his pursuers attempted to get him out he drew a pistol. George Gomez picked up a brick and hurled it at the man with tremendous force, striking him in tho face and inflicting an ugly-looking wound. He' was then taken in charge by an officer and conducted to the county jail, losing much blood on the way. Dr. Collins was sent for and after much difficulty staunched the flow of blood. He says that the internal maxillary artery was cut. At 2 o'clock tho prisoner" was un able to open his mouth or swallow. For the past two years a continual stir has been mode among tho citizens of Enter prise regarding tho legality or ill->gnlitv of the corporation of the town. The Board of Aldermen and the Mayor have proceeded with the business of tile city, believing un doubtedly that they were a legally consti tuted body. But as in everything else, a day of reckoning must surely come. Assess ments were made, properties were adver tised for sn’c, and many of tho heaviest tax payers, though perfectly willing to pay their t axes under a properly constituted corpora tion, refused payment to the present City Council and took recourse to tho law. The case was brought tofo e Judge Broome last week, Hon. Frank W. Pope, of Jack so ville, for the plaintiffs, and J. W. Price, attor ney of the City Council, for ihe defendants. One of the strongest arguments that Mr. Pope brought before t ,o court, and he quoted from the best authorities In the law, was that no itizen or citizens had the right or power to declare any c rpnration illegal that has been authorized by the Legislature, und though not fulfilling their full contract to that body, was w< rklng unrior the <o!or of law. On tho other hand, J. IV. Price, Esq., advanced the idea that any corpora tion illegally incorporated— not fulfilling the full law in the act of incorporation— was null and void, and tho citizens could so declare und proceed to incorporate anew. On the first hearing of the ease J. \V. Price, Esq., was sustained by the court, but cn ex ceptions taken by Mr. Pope, aud m amendment made to bis infor- mation, at the second hearing, which occurred on Thursday morning. Judge Broome declared the incorporation of Enterprise fo bo null and void. Mr. Price took exceptions to the ruling of the court in inquiring tho amount of bonds and appeul ing to the Supr ,me Court of the State. The full gist of the matter is that Enterprise has boon incorporated three times—in 1877,1884 and 1885 — each area of incorporate n being within another and the last two within the lii-st. Though the third one is incompliance with ali requirements of law, no citizen or citizens, nothing but a judicial body, has the power to set the two previous acts aside. And these acts of incorporation standing b an olistruction to properly incorporate witn out their removal hy judiciary powers. MAIMLD EX-CONFEDERATES. At Atlanta the Clerk of the Executive Department Issues a Circular. Capt. W. H. Harrison, Clerk of the Ex ecutive Department, has issued the follow ing letter, which contains important infor mation to ex- Confederate soldiers who were injured during the war: lu answer to the numerous Inquiries atont the receut act of the Legislature, granting allowance to maimed ex Confederate soldiers, 1 have, in the following statement, undertaken to give the main features of the law. and hope to anticipate the questions which may be made in relation to the construction given the act. For the first time the act provides for pay ments to sueii disabled soldiers as did not nave a limb or limbs amputated. For an arm or leg permanently injured from wounds, whereby either is rendered ' substantially and essentially useless.” au annual allowance of will lie paid. There is no difference between the allow mice for an arm and a leg: the same amount is paid whether the injury resulted from wounds received below or above the elbow, or above or below the knee. For permanent Injury to any part of the body (other than leg, arm. eye or organs of hearingi. whereby the parson injured has been rendered ‘‘permanently and practically incompetent for tlie performance or the ordinary manual avoca tions of life,” $35 is allowed. Applicant to be entitled must first show' that be was a bona fide citizen of Georgia on Oct. 36. 1886, and also that he resides in this State at the date of his application. He must sustain liis affidavit, explaining service and injury, by the testimony of some officer who was in the service with him, or by three citizens who know of the facts. Also furnish the testimony of two repu table physicians sustaining his claim and estab lishing his right to ihe allowance under the law. One-armed and one-legged men who were paid in 1880 or 1887 for the third period, under the old law, cannot be paid again until after Sept. 30, 1888. The first payments made in 1879 and ISBD were for five years: but in 1883 the period was shortened to three years, and the .second pay ments were male for the period from Sept. 30, 1883, to Sept. 30. 1880. The third payments were made for the period from IhsO to 1880. Hence, all who drew the third payment prior to the ap proval of the last aet cannot draw under the new aet until Sept. 2G. 1889, having been paid to that date. . One-armed and one-legged men who were in this State Oct. 20, 1880, and now reside'herein, and who have not drawn t he third payment, can be paid the annual allowances mentioned for tee loss of an arm or leg. The law only provides for the present and future, aud does not allow payments for the past.

Prom the Americus (Ga ) Republican. When Hooker’s army was worrying Gen. Lee’s half-starved Confederates at Ghancel lorsville, Bedgew.ck’s corps broke the Con federate lines at Fredericksburg, aud com menced his travels toward Chauceliorsville to help Hookor in crushing Lee. The Mon day following Gen. Early struck Seagewick a crushing blow, and hurled him crippled aud bleeding across the river at Bank’s Ford. When Early s men made the charge, a negro, whose young master carried a gun in a Mississippi regi ment, was following, to take care of him if he should to wounded. In consequence of the deep ravines over which Early charged artillery could not well follow, and we were standing beside our smoking guns, when tho nigger came back, his face in a broad grin, with a great big knapsack, one or two fine blankets, and a big Yankee private march ing in front of him. When he neared us he broke out: “Ya! Ya! I kotcli ’im. Ho pos sum. I tink him dead and kick him in de side. He tnrn ober and grin jislike possum. I say what yer doin’ dar, am yer shot. He say no, fell down here to keep de John nies from killin’ me. Den I pick up his gun and get dis nabberbag and blankets, and see Mars Bill a runnin’ dem udder fel lers in de ribbor, und I tells dis Yank to come erlong.” In reply to a question as to what he would do with him, he said: “I gwine to send him to Missippy to lioe co’n an’ cotton for my cle ’oman while 1 takes keer o’ Mars Biily. Kem erlong, Yank,” mid he marched him back to the real'. We suppose he landed in Castle Thunder or Belle Isle, Richmond, in a few days af.er, as the negro said de “bossifers” took him away from him.
