Ou Friday evening of last week, while the
rain was falling, the roof and plates (the
latter pinned down) were lifted from a log
house near James Murray’s, two and a half
miles from Alapaha, and set down in the

murderers of Tom McNair.
Milledgeville Chronicle: Mr. E. H. Ems
wiler showed us a remarkable string of
beads the other day. It contained nearly
300, nearly all of which were different, both
in material and design. Mr. Emswiler has
been farming at Rock landing, on the Lati
mer place, about six miles below this city,
on the river. Rock Landing was once an
Indian village and traders’ post. These
beads were scattered here and there over
about 300 acres of land, and Mr. Emswiler’s
children had made it a point to pick up and
save every one they found. Thus the collec
tion was secured. " It is probably the most
interesting string of beads in the United
States, and as an Indian relic is invaluable.
Mr. Emswilor also has a good many arrow
heads, tomahawks, etc., found there.
Jackson News: Emanuel, our colored
drayman, is playing in rather hard luck.
While he was absent last Tuesday attending
his duties his spouse disposed of all their
household effects and “vamosed the ranch.”
When Emanuel went to his place of quiet
repose, he was dumbfounded at the desolate
appearance of things in and around the
ranch, and with quiet tread and hated
breath he proceeded to investigate, in the
vain hope that probably she had forgotten
something, but not so. Her work of devas
tation was so complete that she had not
even left her better half a quilt to cover
with. Upon learning this Emanuel swore
vengeance against his recreant spouse, who
had treated him so cruelly, and started on
her trail, but up to this writing has not been
heard from.
Some of the most valuable pieces of proper
ty in Atlanta originally sold for a mere song.
Lot No. 14, on which a part of the city of
Atlanta is now built, was traded years ago
for a horse, and a gentleman was' relating
Saturday how a man in Bartow county,
along hi the forties, bought for $35 what
has sold very recently for $56,000. The
land whereon the city of Lexington, Ky.,
is built, years ago was sold for a small
drove of horses, and it is said that the two
men who formerly owned the Consolidated
Virginia silver mines, from which millions
of dollars were taken, parted with their in
terests, one for two bottles of whisky and a
shot gun, and the other for a pair of old
blankets and a small pony. Capt. Jackson
some months ago bought the top of Hickory
Nut Mountain, near Tallulah Falls, for
$2,500, that once sold for #25, the sale in -
eluding the whole mountain. This is the
mountain from which the magnificent view
is obtained.
At Cochran a few days ago the 4-vear-old
child of Bartley Joiner, butcher, was play
ing around a fire in the yard when his
clothing caught, and before his mother
could get his clothing off or the fire extin-
S fished he was so badly burned that he
ed in a few hours. Mrs. Joiner had her
hands badly burned in her efforts to save her
child. Mrs. Sarah Barkwell, relict of the late
Dr. T. J. Barkwell, whd died in Atlanta sev
eral years ago while representing Pulaski
county in the Legislature, was burned in
the samo way on the same day by standing
tod near the fire. Her dress <‘aught, on fire
and burned rapidly. She ran out of the
house into the yard and before help arrived
she was burned so extensively that she died
in about forty-eight hours. In passing out
of the house she ran by some seed cotton
which took fire from her burning dress.
Her son, with whom she was living, hap
pened to be working near the house and had
he and the hands not got there so soon the
house would have burned. Mrs. Barkwell
had but recently recovered from a severe
and almost fatal attack of typhoid fever.

on his tastefully arranged place on Lake
DeSoto, and the first crop yielded 04 heads
and 16,800 grains. He has just gathered
the second crop, which yielded 123 heads and
8,900 grains—giving 216 heads and 25,700
grains as the product of a singlo chance

store aud began to pic-k a quarrel with the
proprietor. One of them, William Law
rence, became quite abusive, and finally
raised his walking cane, which by ati inge
nious contrivance also served as a gun, and
fired, the ball striking Mr. Sullies rioar the
temple, aud glancing off, buried itself in
the wall. The latter drew his revolver
aud, following Lawrence, firod a shot at
him, but was so blinded by the blood
streaming from his wound that he missed
his man. Anderson and his companion

candles and oriental lamps were used for
illuminating purposes instead of gas.
Lawtey, Fla., correspondent Jackson
ville Hmes-Union: I have recently learned
some part iculars of a largo land purchase in
South Florida. It consists of about 50,000
acres, situated on Otter creek, near Bron
son. Mv information was obtained from
Mr. L. W. Sayles, of this place, himself an
old Michigan lumberman, who acted as
agent for the purchasers in visiting and
making the first report as to the land. The
principal purchaser is Mr. David Whitney,
of Detroit, Mich., who is several times a
millionaire, and with him are associated
Mr. N. Dunham & Sons. Their office will
be situated in Femandina, and their lumber
will lx shipped to that city over the Florida
Railway and Navigation line. A great
part of the timber, especially along the
creek, is black cypress, a valuable
tree for lumber, which was sought by the
purchasers as one substitute for
the rapidly disappearing supplies
of white pine in the North. Some of the
trees have an immense circumference,
reaching even to 25 or 20 feet, though the
average is about 8 or 9. Near the creek
there is almost nothing but the cypress, the
gigantic trunks reaching up straight as ar
rows. These logs will lie out with hand
saws, and w ill be handled almost, entirely
by steam power. A tramway will lie built
out in various directions and on this will be
run out a “skidding” machine, to which is
attached a long chain cable. This cable
will be dragged out into the woods and
made fast to a log, which will then be
“snaked” over the ground to the tramway,
loaded on and conveyed to tho mill. Dur
iug the brief period of the year when the
ground is flooded, logs will lie floated to the
mill, having been previously cut and made
ready for that purpose. Most of the land
was purchased for about 81 25 an acre.
The mill to bo erected soon will have a
capacity of about 1,000,000 feet a year. Mr.
Sayles thinks there is timber enough on the
purchase to last the mill a man’s lifetime at
least.
Gen. Sherman a Model First-Nighter
From Clara Selle'e Letter.
It is delightful to see Gen. Sherman at
first nights in theatres. He always has a
pretty woman with him, aud the constant
attention he pays to her is a lesson to those
careless young men who out and dawdle in
the lobby or hold up some neighboring bar
during the intermissions. The old war-norso
is white-headed aud stubbly-bearded. His
clothes are not the corre ct evening dress by
any means, for lie usually wears a pepper
ami salt suit, but there i, a world of earnest
admiration iu his honest blue eves, and the
court he ]>ays to his companion is more than
a claw-hammer coat could convey.
You Who Lead Sedentary Lives
Will find great relief from constipation,

mid improve the quality of the blood by
taking the Regulator it would restore the
kidneys to health and vigor.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1887.
SIX TIMES A BRIDE.
Remarkable Marital Record of Mrs.
Josephine Baxter.
Cor. Cincinnati Timet Star.
The recent death of Mrs. Josephine Baxter
at her home in Trumansburg recalls to those
who knew her the remarkable series of
vicissitudes through which she passed dur
ing her eventful life. Her married life was
an extraordinary one, and in detail reads
more like Action than a story of real life.
She was six times a bride and five times a
widow. Born in Canadaigua, in August,
1832, her maiden name was Josephine Tabor.
Asa child she was the acknowledged beauty
of the neighborhood, and everybody who
remembers hor as a young laxly recalls her
particularly vivacious and delightful man- 1
ners. In ISSO, when she was 18 years
of age, she was sent to the Palmyra Acad-;
emy. From the day of her arrival she was
the coneeded belle of the academy.
Her affection soon set upon an impecun
ious but smart vouug teacher in the acad
emy named Odell, and one night in Decem
ber, 1857, she eloped with him. Her father
and mother liad repeatedly begged her to
discard Odell, and when the announcement
of the marriage was made they were wild
with grief. Josephine returned to Canan
daigua two weeks later, and shipping at a
hotel there, begged for a reconciliation with
her parents, who remained obdurate, and
she went to Toledo to struggle for a liveli
hood with her husband. He became a
teacher in a night schoAl, and to mako ends
meet his young wife was comi>elled to do
sewing in her rooms.
In July, 1858. Odell died of consumption,
leaving tho widow dependent on her own
labor. Hhe was too proud to return to her
home and ask for help from her parents,
but maintained herself by her needle until
Febuary, 1800, when she married Clarence
Cushman, a wealthy bachelor pork packer
at Cincinnati. She was then 28,
and, notwithstanding her hard toil for a
livelihood, was as handsome as ever. She
lived in quiet style and no couple were ever
more devoted to one another. Two children
ivere born to them, hut both died in infancy.
Mr. aud Mrs. Cushman went to Europe in
1802. In Rome the husband caught the
Roman fever, of which he suddenly died.
The young woman, again a widow, returned
to London only to find that hor husband had
been insolvent for several weeks previous to
his death. She was left with only a few
thousand dollars. For a year or two she
was a governess in the house of a London
banker and then, losing ail of her money in
an unfortunate speculation, she returned to
America. . (| ,
For two years she was a saleswoman in a
New York dry goods store. In June, 1880,
she was married at Nyack, N. Y., to Lieut.
Oscar Williams, of the United States array,
and went with him to Fort Sully, Dak.
They lived happily together, and Mrs.
Williams became a favorite at the Fort. In
August, 1867, her husband was drowned and
his wife became for a third time a widow.
Her father, who had heard of his only
daughter’s misfortunes, begged hor to re
turn to her home and be forgiven, but she
would not go. For two years she was a
governess m the family of a Louisville mer
chant. She married liov. Edward Lukes at
Covington, Ky., in 1869. Her husband was
sent a little later as Presbyterian mission
ary to India and she accompanied him.
They made their home successively in In
dia, 'Hong Kong and Honolulu, in each of
which places Mrs. Lukes was well known
for her devotion to her husband, who was a
consumptive.
Mr. Lukes died in the Sandwich Islands
in 1874, and his widow made her way back to
America with her husband's body. For a
year she made her home with her brother
near this place, then removed to Philadel
phia, whex'e she entered a private hospital
as nurse. Among the patients to whom she
ministered, was Graham P. Estey. a sugar
and molasses merchant at New Orleans. He
fell desperately in love with bis nurse, and
after months of very warm courtship, mar
ried her in March, 1878. Their happy home
in New Orleans was broken up by her hus
band’s failure the next year ami his suicide
because of his financial losses.
Left a widow for the fifth time and broken
in health and spirit, Mrs. Estey^-returned to
her brother's home a few weeks after her
husband's death. For several months she
was very ill and was convalescing When her
father died of old age.
Until 1881 she lived with lief Jlpotber, and
about that time became acquainted with a
wealthy ami retired gold miner named
Albert Baxter. They were married at
Palmyra, iu 1882. The ooupte spc.nt h year
or more in travel in Europe aud .Egypt.
During the past year Mr. Baxter has been
engagod in building a magnificent mansion
for their occupancy, near Ithaca, It was
their intention to spend their remaining
days there, and Mrs. Baxter, who had
known so many disappointments and be
reavements looked forward with pleasure
to her bright prospects But in nil this there
was still another disappointment for her.
She was attacked about two months ago,
when about to remove to her mansion, by a
fatal disease.
STORY OF A VENDETTA.
The Sequel of a Feud that Caused
Much Bloodshed While it Lasted.
From the New York Sun.
Pittsfield, 111., Nov. 23.— The acquit
tal of Andrew Hamilton in the Circuit
Court of this county, where he has been
under indictment for murder for thirteen
years, terminates a very notable case. The
southern part of Pike county lies bet ween
the Illinois river on the east and the Missis
sippi on the west, and joins Calhoun
county, which is noted as the only county
in Illinois without a railroad, telegraph,
bank or negro within its borders. In
this primitive district a feud de
veloped in 1870. The principals were
the Hamilton and Daniels families.
The former consisted of John, the father,
and three sons- Noah, Andrew and Silas,
The latter of Col. Daniels and five sons—-
John, Poke, Albert, Martin and Clark. The
difficulty began over the division line be
tween farms. Each side was brave, always
ready, and many fights ensued, in which
deadly weapons were used. Early in the
warfare Noah Hamilton was stabbed and
killed, and then Silas was shot dead. The
community took sides, and Con Williams
was shot and killed by Col. Daniels, and the
latter went to the penitentiary. Then old
John Hamilton was wounded, and died from
the tixmbles that ensued.
• During the winter of 1874 Clark Daniels
and Andrew Hamilton, then only 10 years
of age, met at the house of Mrs. McKee at a
dance. Daniels at once assaulted Hamilton,
striking him with a slungshot, when Ham
ilton shot him dead. The lights were ex
tinguished and a general light followed bo
tween the friends of those person-. When
order was restored Hamilton had fled, and
three people woro found to be shot. A large
reward was offered for the fugitive, but
without success.
The memory of t he tragedy was suddenly
revived in July last by the announcement
that a wealthy ranchman and mine owner
named Richard llarcrater had been arrested
in Baker City, Oregon. Ho was identified
as Andrew Hamilton, the slayer of Clark
Daniels. He was brought back here for
trial.
The story of Hamilton’s escape and his
career since then, is full of interest. After
the killing of Daniels, he and a young
woman with whom ho had gone to a party,
mounted the same horse aud rode thirty
miles in tho bitter cold, having their hands
and fcfeet frozen. Hamilton was laid up
in concealment for two months in conse
quence, and the woman died a year later
from the effects. Hamilton then went to
San Francisco, and after a year, went to
Cuba, remaining two years, and returning,
settled in Baker City, Oregon, assuming Uio
name of Richard llarcrater, under which he
married a highly respectable young woman,
by whom he hail two children. After his
arrest, he re-married his wife under his own
name, and re-conveyed a large amount of
property conveyed to her under his former
name. The trial was fought bitterly, but
Hamilton was acquitted ou the ground of
aelf-defense.
THE LAND BOOM.
Prices Way Up Among the Stars—The
Dangers to be Avoided.
The wonderful land boom of the past year
has excited very general attention.
It has not been confined to any one locali
ty, for, as Chauneey M. Depew said, after a
visit to the West, “At nearly every one of
the trade centres we visited, wo found ex
travagant and untenable views of proejiect
ive real estate values.”
Of course the vast army of men engaged,
in one way or another in these enterprises,
were loth to believe their views either ex
travagant or untenable. Both they and
Dopew are right to a certain extent.
Land values liavo rapidly and permanent
ly increased in this country in the last, fifty
years. This is especially noticeable in the
“jumping” West, along the lines of Lew
railroads.
Thousands of new cities have sprung up,
with a growth perf- ctiy astonishing, anil
great fortunes have boon made in real estate.
Land values must continue to increase
generally, because tiie available area of laud
in the country is now so small as to render
inevitable its entire absorption in a few
years.
One hundred years from now, at the
present rate of increase, our population will
be 400 to tho square mile—twice as many as
in the largest European nations.
To boa safe speculator, it is necessary to
study cause and effect, as the proprietors of
Warner’s safe cure did in preparing their
remedy. Its success is great, because it
reaches the cause of disease. Every drop of
blood coursing through the system passes
through the kidney*. If they are in sound
working order, the blood is purified; if de
ranged, poison, that should be eliminated, is
carried through the blood channels to every
part of the system. The poison attacks the
weak points, and so come the long list of
resulting ailments. Remedy the cause, put
the purifying organs in health, and the
whole system becomes healthy.
There must be a solid Iwisis for a land
boom, however, or it will inevitably result
in a crash, entailing great losses and subse
quent injurious depression.
Two thousand dollars per foot front for
land in some cities might be a judicious
investment, in others, very indiscreet. It is
wise to mnke investments oi a character in
ilicating a permanent, if slower, growth and
increase of value.

Jfessrs. C'nmmeU rfi Chiptnan:
GEKTR-The RANGE AND BALTIMORE
HEATERS placed by your firm iu my residence
are giving satisfaction.
The RANGE is perfect in its workings, and in
addition beats the dining-room and chamber
above.
With the HEATERS I can warm either of the
rooms above that which the HEATER is in. and
with less fuel than I could one room with an
open grate. I believe that the saving in fuel
will soon repay one for their cost, without speak
ing of their cleanliness and convenience. I take
pleasure in recommending your firm to all who
wish anything in that line. Truly yours.
