to Macon.
At Eastman a petition is in circulation
for another election under the provisions of
the local optic n luw, to take place Feb. 1.
next. The last election was held on Dec.

While several little boys were playing
around the cotton on the platform of the
fiandersviile and Tennille railroad, at San
dersville, one of them about 7 years old,
thoughtlessly stuck a lighted match to one

Eighteen bales were damaged. The bucket
brigade did some good work. The loss is
estimated at about SSOO.
Athens Banner-Watchman: Mr. Vince
Sanford was in the city yesterday, and is
said to be the finest shot in the State. He
rides horseback while hunting, and as soon
as a covey of birds is flushed he puts his
horse in a full run and shoots as he runs,
killing on both sides. Mr. Sanford is
always the first man with the hounds in a
fox chase, and is always at the killing.
D. N. Willingham, who, as alleged, while
intoxicated last £350 hist week at a saloon in
Gordon county, has not been able yet to re

Mr. Hudgins, of the firm of Hudgins &
Tall} - , map publishers, Atlanta, for whom
Mr. Willingham was agent, arrived at
Adairsville to investigate matters, but as
yet has not been able to make any progress

he young ladies propose doing the same.
Mrs. H. C. Babcock, Mrs. James Herron,

of itself assures the success. Phillip’s
I-egion also holds its reunion there at the
same time.
John W. Smith, who has been selling
goods in the upper part of Madison county,
and who has been considered a reliable man,
went to Lexington last week on a trading
expedition. Alter selling out. his horses, he
took the train at Crawford and left for
part* unknown. He had disposed of all the
goods in his store, even to his iron safe, so
rumor says, and had pocketed all the cash
he could get, amounting to several hundred
dollars. He was considerably in debt,
heavily mortgaged, and it is thought left
owing something in Athens and Harmony
drove. His family seems to have known
nothing of his intention to ‘‘skip,” and his
wife was in Danielsville Saturday to see if
she could not secure the property by home
stead or otherwise.
A few days ago a committee was appoint
ed by the Deinosthenian society of the Uni
versity at Athens to notify Hon. Jefferson
Davis of his election as honorary member.
Messrs J. D. Little, H. Hyman, and C. R.
Warren composed the committee, and on
Friday last, received the following letter
from Mr. Davis: “Beauvoir, Miss., Nov. 10,
1887.—Gentlemen: 1 accept with pleasure
the honorary membership of the Deinos
thenian literary society of the University
of Georgia which you have kindly conferred
upon me. With thanks for the honor you
have conferred and best wishes for you and
Jour associates. I am, faithfully yours,
efferson Davis.” The society has had this
letter nicely framed, and hung in a con
spicuous place in their hall.
E. Flynn, one of the party of English capi
talists who has recently purchased Port
Royal, has been in Augusta the past day or
t wo, and has made known his plans. He
bought in all 3,000 acres, including the en
tire water front and the liest portion of the
island ground. He sails on Saturday for
England, where he will conclude lus ar
rangements with other capitalists as to the
developments of the port. Upon his return
he will immediately build up wharves and
warehouses, will establish banks and put on
a direct line of steamers between there and
Liverpool. He has made arrangements with
the large exporting houses of Chicago, in
cluding Armour & Cos.. to ship their goods
via Port Royal, which will then be the
cheapest line. It is his object to either
build a double track railroad from Augusta
to Port Royal, or to buy the present road
and add another track.
Hon. James Dougherty, United States Con
gressman from Florida, owns considerable
mineral and farming lands in Walker and
Catoosa counties. He has been there for
several months looking after his interests
and buying more lands. In Catoosa county
there is a very strict Sunday law, which is
rigidly enforced The Congressman, in his
anxiety to have his cotton crop gathered,
permitted some of his hands to work on
Sunday, and a day or. two afterward he was
arrested for violating the Sunday law. His
aged mother, who is very pious, insisted
that he be prosecuted to the extent of the
law if found guilty. She joined in the in
dictment. The trial excited a great deal of
interest in the county. The testimony
seemed conclusive until finally the Con
gressman was put on the stand. He swore
that “he had never done a lick of work in
his life." This fact was corroborated by
strong proof, and he was accordingly dis
charged, and the church supporters taxed
with the costs.
West Point Press: Mr. Toni Johnson lost
a fine horse yesterday —it is believed from
the effects of hydrophobia. Just a month
ago, it will be remembered, a mad dog lilt
this same horse and several calves. Mr.
Johnson’s horse showed no signs of lieing
sick until last Wednesday afternoon, after
Vicing turned into the lot from the plow.
He gradually became worse, and acted
strangely Thursday night. Friday morning
Mr. Johnson brought his horse to the city to
see if any of our many veterinary surgeons
could tell him what to do for the suffering
animal. Boon after reaching the city the
horse began to have convulsions, and died
in great, agony in about an hour. While
in convulsions the horse would chew his
tongue and beat his head against the ground
I until his eyes Wei's almost knocked out.
| There was no one present who ever saw a
I horse with hydrophobia, but we are satisfied
that the bite of the mad dog mentioned
i above was the cause of the horse’s violent
i death. Again we are impressed that every
! strolling cur should be despatched in short
! oixier.
| Columbus Enquirer Sun: A special from
j Alexander City to the Montgomery Adver
tiser says: “Btell Reas, of this place, but
more recently salesman at Poliak & Cos.,
Montgomery, happened to the misfortune of
losing several hundred dollars a few day*
ago. He was on his way to this place from
Montgomery, and in passing Opelika was
requested by the bank there to bring along
SSOO for a merchant at Camp Hill and a
larger surii for Messrs. R. Herzfeld & Bro.,
of this place. There was no one at the
dejiot at Camp Hill when he passed, so he
brought the money on here —gave Herzfeld
his amount and sent the SSOO
back to Camp Hill by a drummer named J.
Wyman, claiming to represent Frazer &
Dozier, of Columbus. It has come to light
that the money was not left in Camp Hill
by the drummer, nor can any one here be
found who knows such a traveling man.
Frazer & Dozier, of Columbus, were tele
graphed to, and they replied that they have
no such person employed. The bunk insti
tuted suit against Mr. Ross, and the matter
has been compromised by Mr. Ross payiug
S4OO. Mr. Ross holds a receipt from Mr. J.
Wyman.” Mr. Dozier, of the firm of Fra

and informed us that the Arm has not now,
nor has ever had in their employ, a man by
that name. Ho never heard of Mr. Wyman
until the telegram was received. Wyman
is a first-class fraud.

The fifth meeting of the Volusia County

its projectors hoped it to be in point of at

secured, and nothing was left undone that
could contribute to the success of the meet
ing. The programme was a most attractive
and interesting one. Only seventeen out of
fifty-two white teachers in the county male
their appearance during the two days ses

attendance throughout the entire session.
The approaching election gave color to

The speaker made a very earnest plea for
temperance, and answered the objection
that many make: “That by attempting to
force this is ue upon men it takes away
their liberty.” This, he proved was not so,
that these persons mistook license for
liberty. He also believed that, the putting
down of this curse will go a long way to
ward eradicating the great evil that is
threatening our institutions—Anarchy.

At Jacksonville, before adjournment
Tuesday the grand jury returned indict

cause, and the case was tried in the Circuit
Court, which resulted in a conviction. The
com|>auy took the case to the Supreme
Court where the decision of the lower court
was reversed in an opinion handed down
about one week ago. It is claimed by the
grand jury, however, that the verdict was
set aside oil purely technical grounds, hence
it was in the province of the grand jury to
investigate the case again. It is expected
that tlie eases will come up for trial at the
regular term of the County Criminal Court
which convenes next mouth.
B. Genovar has allowed Messrs. Entenza
& Gonzalez the use of a tract of land of his
hummock land north of St. Augustine for
the purpose of experimenting in the cultiva
tion of tobacco of a fine quality. Some
time ago Mr. Entenza raised on poor iaud,
not ai all adapted to its cultivation, near
Waldo, a quality of tobacco that took a
premium at the State fair and also at the
Atlanta exposition. They are confident
that the land of Mr. Genovur is suitable to
the cultivation of the finest VueltoAriba
district, and they will immediately plant
10,000 seed, do the cultivating ami curing
themselves and leave nothing to those inex
perienced in tobacco culture and cure. Mr.
Gonzalez soon goes to Cuba oil business and
will engage from the Vuelto Ariba district
one or two families—experts in the raising
of tobacco~-and will bring them to St. Au
gustine to work their farm. Mr. Gonzalez
says also that at least one-fifth of the St.
John’s county lands are tobacco lands of a
good grade, and he is determined that St.
Augustine shall down Quincy. If tobacco
can boas successfully cultivated in St.
John's county as Messrs. Entenza & Gon
zalez believe, then St. Augustine will be
greatly lienetited by the revenue thefeJToni.

The following document becomes some
what interesting on account of the promi
nence of its author. In 18(58 Senator—then
“private” Pa*co, was Clerk of Jefferson Cir
cuit Court, but under Gov. Harrison Reed
was replaced by Meneham, a colored Repub
lican. Not only all the civil offices, but
even tlie Florida Railway and Navigation
road, then in the hands of the State, were
subordinate at that time to party purposes
by the “God and morality ” party. The in
cumbent, us the following document shows,
left his protest on the records of the court:
“Be it understood that on this the 24th day
of August, A. D. 18t58, came Robert
Meacham and claims the office of Clerk of
the Circuit Court in and for the said county
of Jefferson, by virtue of a certain instru
ment, purporting to be a commission from
one Harrison Reed, claiming to be Gov
ernor of the State of Florida, and it
appearing that the said commission is issued
under tlie State seal, and that the said Har
rison Reed is actually exercising the func
tions of Governor as aforesaid, and that be
has full power to enforce the said commis
sion, the undersigned, believing it to tie his
duty as a good citizen to yield obedience to
tlie existing government, has this day sur
rendered all the records, seals and other
public property that has been in his cus
tody, as Clerk of the Circuit and Criminal
Courts, in and for this county of Jefferson,
to the said Robert Meacham. But he does
the same under protest, reserving and
claiming all his rights as clerk, aforesaid.
And he protests that the authority under
which the said Robert Meacham is acting
is unlawful and a usurpation. And in tes
timony thereof he hereto sets his official
signature as said clerk on the day and year
aforenamed. 8. Pasco, Clerk.”
AN INCIDENT IN MR. DAVIS’ LIFE.
How Mrs Noble Missed Her Trunk
and Accused an Old Gentleman
Rome (Go.) Cor. Atlanta Constitution.
A story, as yet unpublished, about ex-
President Davis, shows him in a lofty light
and with pure character.
Away back in the thirties, there came to
the United States James Noble, an English
man, from Cornwall. He was a machinist
and a man of family. After some eighteen
gears’ residence in Reading, Pa., he came
South in February, 1855, to look around for
a location. In May of that same year he
came out again, bound for this city to make
it his home, and to engage in manufacturing
machinery.
Mr. Sum Noble chartered a sailing vessel
and loaded it with machinery, tools and ap
prentices and sailed for the port of Savan
nah. His father, with his mother and other
members of the family took passage for
Charleston, 8. C. In due time each ship
reached its port and the head of the family
with his flock took the cars en route to their
new home.
The family carried their jewels and
some $4,000 in gold in an old-fashioned
English hand chest. It became necessary
to expose their valuables to view in paying
some additional money for their car fare.
Sharp eyes were on the alert, and the glitter
of the rich contents of that chest caught
them. Asa matter of precaution Miss Mary
Noble was seated in a shut-off section of the
car with her back against the door. The trip
was dull, and there wore no other passengers
aboard. Arrived at Branchville', two gen
tlemen came on board. One was a wiry,
young looking man, the other a tall and
slender man, past the meridian of life, but
very distinguished looking. When Augusta
was reached the two men went their way
to Atlanta, and the Noldes soon after dis
covered that the chest containing the gold
and other valuables was missing. The con
ductor was appealed to, and he instantly
charged “that old one-eyed man” with hav
ing stolen it.
It, was evidently snatched out of the win
dow when Miss Mary Noble’s attention w as
fixed in some other direction.
After consultation it was decided that
Mrs. Noble, accompanied by Miss Mary,
should proceed (f> Atlanta and cause the ar
rest of the supposed thief, while Mr. Noble
and the others awaited the resnlt, vainly
hoping to recover their treasure.
Mrs. Noble succeeded in tracing the two
men to their stopping places and identified
them by sight. They were arrested and
carried to headquarters. Arrived there the
astonishing discovery was made that the
two persons were Hbn. Secretary of War
Jefferson Davis, of President Pierce’s Cabi
net, and his private secretary. Mr. Davis
took the whole matter good humoredly, and
of course the gentlemen were released with
full apologies. Before parting, Mr. Davis
realizing the loss and condition of Mrs.
Noble and her daughter, tendered them a
t wenty-dollar gold pier , which Mrs. Noble
declined; not so with Miss Marv, who said:
“Yes, take it mama, that’s some of our
money the old villain took.”
Mr. Davis still good humoredly pressed it
upon Mrs. Noble and she took it, and re
turned to realize that he was poorer in
purse but richer in her estimate of human
nature. •
Mr. Nobie was a man all doubled with
years but with a mind as clear as his eyes
are bright. He first objected to saying any
thing about the embarrassing circumstances
for fear of wounding Mr Davis’ feelings.
When assured that nothing of a nature
damaging to Mr. Davis could come of the
publication, but on the other hand it would
cause him to shine with lustre more charm
ing in character, he told the principal points
in the above narrative and those that fol
low.
He and his sons, expert machinists,
reached Rome and established there the
first plant for making machinery and en
gines, and mining machinery especially.
They made the machinery for the celebrated
Duektown gold mines.
From the year 1855 to 1872, the Nobles
made their name for honest, hard-working
citizens in Rome. When the war came on
Mr. James Noble, learning of Mr. Davis’
election to the Presidency of the Confed
eracy, went to Montgomery for the pin-pose
of contracting with the authorities with a
view to manufacturing cannon. While
there his business brought him into con
tact with Mr. Davis, who remembered the
peculiar relations brought alsuit bv the loss
of tlie chest. He introduced Mr. 'Noble to
Mrs. Davis, laughingly alluding to the ar
rest, of which Mrs. Davis had been ap
prised, and she joined in the laugh. The
result of Mr. Noble’s visit was the turning
of all his talents and his sons’ to making
cannon for the Southern Confederacy. In
his own language he expressed the most ex
alted respect and admiration for Mr. Davis.
He said: "I made hundreds of cannon for
him, and I tell you he is a grand man, a
good man. I would so much like to see him
again.”
When told that Mr. Davis would likely
visit Macon during th > fair, he said:
“I must try aud go over there to see him.
I would like to see him one more time.”
The storv of the Nobles since 1872 is well
told in tlie beautiful city of Anniston,
where curling smoke from towering stacks
makes a background for sparks of gold that
shoot from tho molten wealth of the fur
nace.
A beautiful stone cottage, erected for their
parents by tho “Noble boys,” is one of the
tasty adornments of the beautiful landscape
that runs out to the foot of the Blue moun
tain. All the living members of the family
will soon be residents of the model city.

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES.
Our oldest child, now six years of age. when
an infant six mouths old, was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies tailing, we called our family physician,
who attempted to cure it; hut it spread with
almost incredible rapidity, until the lower per
tion of the little fellow’s person, from the mid
dle of his back down to his knees, was one
solid rash, uglv, painful, blotched and ma
licious. We had no rest at night, no peace
bv duv. Finally, we were advised to try the Cni
cura Remedies The effect was simply marvel
lous In three or four weeks a complete
cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow'sper
son as white and healthy as though he had never
been attacked. In my opinion, your valuable
remedies saved his life, and to-day he is a strong,
healthy child, perfectly well, no repetition of
the disease having ever occurred.
