6 GEORGIA AXI) FLORIDA. NEWS OP THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. A Specimen of Good Farming in Pu laski Counts’—Old Relics Owned'by a Lady of Hawkinsville—A Boy’s Tongue Frozen to a Pipe at Griffin’s Ice Factory. GEORGIA. Madison county now has four wet anil four dry districts. The jailer of the Bibb county jail refuses to receive any more United States prisoners unless blankets are furnished for them. H. P. Strickland & Cos. have opened a new distillery near Sunnyside, with a capac ity of twelve and a half gallons of cum whisky per day. A mile and a half west of Griffin Tuesday a daughter, aged 18 years, of C. W. Watson was probably fatally burned while playing around the fire. There were twolve pistols taken from dif ferent persons by the police, at Albany, on circus day, ami thrown in the river, where they will do no more harm. Since the summer Hood County Judge, Hon. J. S. Barnett, of Wilkes county, has had replaced or rebuilt thirteen bridges in that county at the moderate cost of #I,OOO. It is rumored that Sydney Lewis, of the Augusta Gazette, will be given editorial control of the Columbus Enquirer-Sen. Mr. Hanson will then be enabled to give his entire time to the management of his paper. At Miiledgeville a collection for a monu ment to Bishop Pierce was taken at the Methodist church last Sunday, amounting to about $2. r >, which will probably be in creased before Mr. King goes to conference. J. J. Kinehen, of Pulaski county, the present year cultivated a five-plow farm, and bore is the result: 1,000 bushels of oa's, 100 bales of cotton, 1,600 bushels of corn, 400 bushels of field peas, 400 bushels of ix>tutoes, and 4,000 pounds of pork. In the Fourth Congressional district Hon. Thomas Grimes’ seat is sought after by quite amunbernf rising politicians. Among tlu-m are Alvan D. Freeman, Peter F. Smith. W. Y. Atkinson, Samuel Harris, L. K. Hay, W. A. Turner, Benjamin S. Leigh and J. F. Reese. Judge Barnett, of Wilkes county, has the matter of building anew jail under advise ment. It will tie a brick structure. The Judge thinks it bpst to issue bonds for the purpose of raising sufficient funds. This will necessitate the passage of a bill for this pur pose by the Legislature. Geu. McLendon, a colored man employed on Albert Jackson's place, near Albany, while feeding a sugar cane mill Tuesday, had his left hand caught between the roll era and fearfully mangled. Dr. P. L. Hils man found it necessary to amputate the in jured member just aljove the wrist. The Rochello correspondent of the Abbe ville Times says: “Seventeen business houses are now contracted for and a number of others have bought, so you see Rocheile is like the baby railroad', every month it can cry louder, and wo are proud of the outlook, and cheerfully invito one and all to come and locate with us.” One of Atlanta’s charitable institutions, the Benevolent Home, situated in Waverly place, is now closed and its inmates have been sent to other institutions. The trustees met and decided that, in their judgment, the home ought to be closed. Want of money with which to feed the poor people who wer ein the home was the principal reason for the action of the trustees. At Barnesville, Wednesday morning, at 3 o'clock, the fire alarm was sounded in the Second ward, to which the fire department responded promptly, and found J. L. Fogg’s residence iu flames. The fire had gained too much headway to save the dwelling, which was anew one, just completed two weeks ago. The fire was the work of an incendi ary. Mr. Fogg had only S9OO insurance. The directors of the Atlanta Piano Manu facturing Company have purchased a large lot a few hundred yards below Elsas, May & Co.’s cotton factory, on the line of the Georgia railroad, and' have given out the contract for the necessary buildings. Tues day workmen began laying the foundation of the factory, and the work will lie pushed ahead rapidly. The buildings will be large and substantial. At High Shoals quite a sensation was caused a few days ago by the attempt and failure of a young man to steal his bride. The plans of the young couple were thwarted by the interference of the old folks, who gently led the lassie indoors, and pub her under the safe -keeping of a lock and key. The irate young man is sweariug vengeance upon the interloper, and vows that nothing shall keep him long from his girl. Edward McKay, living near McVille, lost his dwelling by fire Tuesday night, tho family escaDing with nothing but their night clothes. Mrs. McKay' was shot, while standing fifty yards from tbe house, by an old army musket that discharged from the burning building. It bad been heavily loaded with buckshot, two of which glanced her neck aud another penetrated her hip. None of tlie shots are necessarily fatal. Mrs. 11. S. Holdridge, of Hawkinsville, is the proud owner of a Bible which has been in her family over 200 years. It is remark ably well preserved. She also highly prizes a knife and fork which were purchased by her father, the late Col. llavis, of Perry, over fifty yeai-s ago, and which have been used daily for that number of years. Mr. Holdridge has a clothes brush which has been used fifty years, and it still looks almost like anew one. At Atlanta Tuesday afternoon, just be fore the adjournment of the session of the City Court, Arthur Boyd (colored) who had been convicted of larceny from the house and sentenced to the chain-gang of Fulton county for a term of six mouths, made his escape by jumping out of one of the win dows of the prisoners’ room. The distance to the ground is about twenty feet. The negro made the jump with ease, alighting on his feet, and then took to his heels and put in a good rate of speed. Before the officials could get out of the building Boyd was out of sight. Marietta Journal: On the opening of the court last week .Sheriff Coryell found a horse shoe in the court house, and placed it ou Col. E. Faw’s desk and told him that it would bring him good luck. Col. Faw went forward with his cases, and lost the first three cases he was attorney in. He got a little despondent, and told the Sheriff that he had better change tbe horse shoe to some other lawyer’s desk. The Sheriff said all right, and placed it on Col. John Mosley’s desk, and immediately Col. Mozley lost his first case. So there is nothing in the horse shoe bringing good luck—only to the other fellow. The youugest enlisted soldier in the Con federate army has beeu asked for. Griffin has responded and now Adairsville presents William Alexander, of the Fortieth Georgia Regiment, Company H., Captain, Joe Neel. Mr. Alexander entered the Confederate ser vice aged 14 years and 11 months; was re fused because of his age, but wen; boldly to the front. He recruited in 1802 and served through the campaign of Johnston in Misis sippi, Tennessee and Georgia, and never missed a day’s service to the surrender at Bentonville. N. C.. in 1865. He was never known to “flicker.” He is to-day hale and hearty, a good citizen, a brave man and true infill the relations of life. A few school bovs were around tho 100 factory of E. M. Walsh & Cos., at Griffin Tuesday, and were inspecting the ammonia pipe, which was in a frozen condition with garticles of fluky ice on the outside reeein llng snow. One little fellow about 18 or 14 years of age, the son of Dr. Simmons, placed his tongue to the pipe and held it there for s me time. When ho tried to take it away it had stuck, and after three unsuc cessful trials Harry Sloan came in anil by oarel'ul management succeeded in getting the tongue loose, but not before it had frozen so badly that a small portion of the meat was left to the iron. His tongue bled profusely and will probably grow worse as reaction seta in, Frank Lee, foreman of the blacksmith j shop at the car department of tho Western | and Atlantic railroad, at Atlanta, struck I his Inst lick in the shop Wednesday. Ho ! has been in the employ of the Western and ! Atlantic railroad for thirty-three years, anil lias, by hard licks und plenty of them, accumulated a comfortable fortune. He proposes now to take some rest und live in a quiet way on his income, which is ample for tile support of himself and wife. Mr. Iwe, when lie closed his (lay’s work and was about to sever his connection with ins asso ciates of the road, was surrounded by a number of his friends, who, to show him their appreciation of him as a man and us a friend, presented him with a gold-headed catie. Columbus Enquirer-Sun: It was one of those warm days last week. Court was in session, and the colonel carried his overcoat to the courthouse, to protect him from the rain which was threatening. The convicts were working in the court yard, and had scattered cotton seed over' the ground. About toon the sun shone out and the court adjourned. Sheriff Burrus looked out the window and remarked that it was snowing. The colonel saw the cotton seed, thought it was snow, and began to shiver. lie said that he had felt dully all the forenoon, and had told someone that morning that be thought it would snow. The court smiled, and some lawyers winked at one another, and the innocent Colonel donned liis over coat shivering, and walked out. “Hello, Colonel,” said a friend. “It is not snow; i) is cotton seed.” “Jesso,” said the Colonel, as be crept silently away. At Atlanta anew feature of the cit v elec tion is the appearance of negro candidates for the City Council. A. VV. Burnett has announced himself a candidate from the Third ward, and William Finch, the tailor, is thinking over tho matter and may run for Councilman from the Fourth ward. He says lie has been requested by a number of the white and black citizens of the fourth to be come a candidate. If he does, he will be ready to sacrifice his porsonul advantages for the sake of harmony and the good of Atlanta. “It will lie foolish for me to say what I will do until I know what will suit both parties,” said he. “I have been here twenty years, and always have been for the good of the city. I was in there once arid came out with a clean record.” Henry Fain, the colored tailor, says the announcement of his name as a candidate for Council from the Fourth was unauthorized. At Atlanta Wednesday Charley High tower, a young man 17 years of age. died at St. George’s Hotel, in the Janies’ Bank block. Saturday night last, about 10 o’clock, young Hightower entered the hotel, after being absent the greater portion of tho day. and, going into his brother’s room, stated that he had been assaulted and struck on the head with a rock. The statement he made was as follows: “I was walking down Ivy street, near the hospital, and met three or four ne groes, and one of them askixi me if I was wet or dry. 1 did not answer, and attempted to pass oil. The crowd then got in front of me and insisted that I tell them if I was wet or dry. I replied tlmt 1 was both, but this did not satisfy them, anil 1 hail to tell them tiio truth, that 1 was dry. I then moved rapidly away, fearing trouble, when a rock struck me on the left side of my head just behind the ear. I did not know the negroes and dont know as I ever saw them before.” His death resulted from the effects of the blow. FLORIDA. Over GOO people attended the baptism at Lake Eola Sunday afternoon. South Lake Weir shipped 2,000 boxes of lemons, which netted $2 a box. Arran . emeuts have been perfected for the establishment of a first-class abstract office in Dade City. The military challenge of the Ocala Rifles has been accepted by the Gainesville Guards for four of the best drilled men. An elegant watch, chain and charm have been presented to Dr. Kilmer, of Orlando, by the citizens for his heroic services in attending Tampa’s yellow fever sufferers. A report was current at Orlando Tuesday that a robbery had been committed in a saloop at Kissimmee on Tuesday night, the victim being a man who had just disposed of some cattle for SIBO. The Alachua Baptist Association was in session at Leesburg Nov. 25, 26, and 27. Twenty-five churches were represented. The reports from the different churches in dicate that they all are in a flourishing con dition. The Governor has made the following ap pointments: C. W. Jacocks, County Treas urer, and E. D. Griffin, Justice of the Peace for Orange county; John Finlayson, W. H. Wright, F. B. Taylor, Jamas' S. Denham and O car A. Sloan, County Commissioners of Jefferson county. Monday night nearly every dwelling on Paint ka Heights was illuminated, and the new high school building was almost ablaze with light, the occasion for all this lavish display being an entertainment celebrating in a measure the completion of the elegant aud commodious school building. At Gamesville, Tuesday, Mat Kyie, a colored boy in the employ of Mrs. M. C. Bell, was arrested charged with theft from her store. He has been carrying on his stealing for a year or more. Suspicion of tiim caused his arrest, and he made a con fession. He was placed in jail to await a preliminary trial. Rev. Mr. Holm, a Presbyterian evangel ist, has been carrying on a protracted meet ing at Leesburg for tlie past two weeks. In a quiet way he hasjacconipUshed great good for the church at tnat point, and it is pre dicted that as a result , the church, which has not had a pastor for severul months, will bo furnished with one. Bishop Weed, of the Episcopal church, arrived at Daytona on Saturday night, and left Tucsilay morning. Ile was the guest of Dr. Herdman at Sunnyside. After the morning service he into ted St. Mary’s Episcopal church, the pi ettiest little church, he says, in his diocese. After evening ser vice eleven young people were confirmed. A lady in Pensacola, temporarily deprived of the services of a nurse, has adopted a novel mode of keeping baby out of mischief and in content at the same time. Placing all of liis playthings in a large washtub, sho puts the little fellow in with them, and there be plays, unable to get out, and per fectly happy until he gets sleepy or hungry. The father calls the boy “Diogenes.” A small hand satchel containing sl4 in money was left in the laities’ waiting room of the South Florida depot at Orlando on Monday last. It was tho property of a young lady who was on her way to the bed side of her dying mother, and contained all the mohey she possessed. Whoever found this satchel should return it at once to the operator at the depot, who will forward it to the owner. Capt. Pitts, from Lake Kissimmee, was in Orlando Tuesday, and had a number of eagle daws from a couple of eagles which he had killed, tho largest bird measuring ten feet from tip to tip of wings. The claws measured nearly three inches in length. Capt. Pitts reports that the butchers from St Augustine and other points on the coast are thick on the Shiver & Johnson range, and are making extensive purchases of beef cattle which, he says, are iu excellent condi tion. At Tallahassee the railroad commission is at work constantly in their rooms in tho basement of the eapitol. They are always ready and willing to hear complaints from any one interested iu the matters over which the board lias jurisdiction. Several peti tions for re-hearing of arguments in favor of an advancement of fixed rates have been filed, but the decisions of the board so far have been against advancements and in fa vor of the rates published to go into effect on Dec. 1. Two attempts at robbery have been made at DeLeon Springs within the last week, oue of which was successful. It is reported that the saloon in that place was broken into last Friday night, the robbers securing half a barrel of whisky. Tuesday night three men attempted to enter M. Vernier’s store. Mr. Vernier sleeps in the store und was awakened before an entrance was ef THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1887. fected. After some delay he met the rascals at tho door, causing them to make a very disorderly retreat. Some shots were fired after them, which did not take effect. The robbers returned the fire, but did no dam age. A valise and anew hatchet were all that remained from which to form a clew. No arrest* have been made. Pnlatka special to Jacksonville Ti es t’n inn : The long looked-for statement of William F. Forward,’ late Clerk of the Cir cuit Court, with regard to charges made by . malicious enemies, has at length appeared, and is conclusive evidence that he is an in nocent man, and he now stands, as he al ways has done, the embodiment of honesty and truth. It remains to lie determined as to what course will lie pursued by his ene mies, who, no doubt convinced of their wrong, (possess not the manhood to step forward and undo the great injustice they have wrought upon an innocent man. The affidavits of tho parties upon whose alleged charges warrants were issued for the arrest of Mr. Forward, show that they were mis representations Forward is stronger to-day than he has ever been —a fact which, it is likely, further development may demon strate. The public are anxiously looking for tlie explanation of State's Attorney \\. H. Wigg. formerly of Columbia, S. C.. hut now of I'aiatka, for withholding testimony from the late grand jury. Many are of the opin ion that the public tifind will never be satis fied iu this particular. Oscar Shogran, of South Lake Weir, a few years ago built a kitchen, bath-room, cistern and cellar over an old sink-hole which adjoined his dwelling. He utilized tho old sink, for it would save much labor and expense in making the excavation, and as the depression in the ten years he liveil on the place showvxl no signs of renewing any sinking siiells, he thought it perfectly safe. But the other evening, as the family were getting supper, a strange noise was heard, resembling the rolling of earth down a hole. Tlie sound was so ominous that an examination was made to discover the cause, when it was ascertained that tlie old sink had renewed its youth, taken a first class sinking fit, made a dive for China, and token w ith it the brick wall, tho cistern, containing 100 barrels of water, and earth enough to construct a floating garden. It is needless to add that the discovery created consternation and dread in the culinary de partment. The supper remained on the stove uncooked, and the frightened and ter rified inmates ami family left the building as rats leave a sinking ship, and for several days uo one was brave enough to enter the deserted building, expecting any moment to see it engulfed in the bowels of the earth. How Fine Porcelain is Made. Correspondence Pititbury Dispatch. Probably no country in the world possess es such resources for the manufacture of fine porcelain and earthen wares as J apan. There are nearly three hundred localities iu the empire where clay is found suitable for tho manufacture of porcelain without being treated to the addition of foreign matter. The constituent elements of porcelain are silica, alumina and water. The clays used by tho Japanese potters are treated by being thoroughly pounded under water in pounders which are gener ally worked by hand. After the earthy matter has settled at the bottom of the ves sel the water is poured off and the residuum is dried and stored away in the form of Hat cakes upon hoards, or as an impalpable powder in boxes. The shaping is done for the most part iqion tho potter's wheel, the introduction of which is attributed by the Japanese to tlie Buddhist priest Gio-gi Bo sat.su, born 670, died 749 A. D. The potter’s wheel in vogue among the Japanese is exceedingly simple in its con struction, and consists of a round piece of hard wood well battened on the under side to prevent waiq>in r , and working upon a pivot set in a porcelain eye. The motion is communicated to the wheel in most cases by the hand of the (Hitter himself. When other than round shaites are required crude moulds are sometime used. After the clay has been shaped upon the wheel it is dried for a couple of days. It is then smoothed with a sharp knife and con verted into “bisque” by’ a brief preliminary baklnf;. It is then either painted anil fired, or glazed and fired, if it is designed to be painted on the glaze. The ovens are gener ally constructed upon a hillside, one above the other, with the draft from the lowest to the hi -hest, and an arrangement for firing each kiln separately. The consequence of this arrangement is that the upper kilns are the hottest, and the ware which requires tho most intense heat is accordingly placed in these. These connecting kilns possess the merits of economizing fuel, but are not al ways well constructed, and there is often a want of uniformity in the heat. The Japanese display’ great skill in tho painting of their porcelain and earthen ware. The blue color of tho common ware is due to the use of cobalt. This ware is painted on the bisque before firing. The more handsome and costlier wares are paint ed upon the glaze and are subjected in some cases to repeated firings. The oxides em ployed in coloring are those of copper, cobalt, iron, autiinony, manganese and gold, which are mixed with a silicate of lead and potash and baked at a low tem perature, though the oxides are also ap plied in some cases inlluxed and baked at a temperature which fluxes them and produces the desired color. French and German colors are beginning to be largely used. Queer Burial Customs in Europe. from tlu Milwaukee Sentinel. The ceremon'es for death and burial are alike for mon and women. In tbo hour of death the face is turned toward Mecca or Jerusalem, and when the final moment comes the women of the harem, in regular succession, send forth shrill falsetto cries that rend the air and make the nerves quiver. This cry brings to the home the women of the village, who join in the lament for the dead. All are dressed in soiled, dark blue robes, and have faces, hands, breasts, and even the walls of the house daubed with indigo. They unbraid their hair, and often pluck it out and lash themselves into a frenzy. Among the rich the clothing of the dead is strewn about the room, and the dishes and ornaments broken with great noise Before the chill of death has fallen upon theinanimated form it must bo carried to the tomb. The mourners fol low the bier, which eis covered with a cashmere shawl, and carried on the shoulders of men. All are in soiled farments, with coarse cloth on the head. he night following the burial the men pass the hours with friends, smoking and drink ing coffee, calm and resigned to destiny; the women spend the night in wailing and shrieking. On certain days her mother be wails her dead through the years, and on the festivals for the dead, families take their provisions and shawls and s|>enil the night at the graves of their relations. After the death of a husband the widow must re main in the house a year, with all the cov erings of the furniture wrong side out, and the mirrors and ornaments covered. She does not offer refreshment* to visitors, and the pipes are without their mouthpieces, and she must have at stated times profes sional waiters to perform in the house. The women beautify themselves by tattooing the face and breast; Coptic women have a cross or star tattooed on the arm. Lips are stained a ilark purple, and the finger nails and palms of the hands are colored orange with henna. Women of every class nut a black rim under the eye, made with kohl, which is not injurious, and besides lending size and force to the eve, gives it shade from light. The “tuching” of the Chinese, or Praineria flandulil'era of botanists, grows in Southern ndia, and has been recommended, to the Indian government as a tree from which large quantities of caoutchouc can tie drawn. In the South America tree the caoutchouc flows from punctures in the bark, but from the new source the gum is obtained by breaking the boughs and drawing it out iu filaments.

MY EXPEIUMCK “I have been afflicted for many years with Dyspepsia, Sick*Head ache, and affection of tho Kidneys, caused by’ a Torpid Liver. During last Fall and Winter I was obliged to suspend the most of my labor in my field of Home Missionary work on account of my health. Early this Spring I was induced to try Simmons Liver Regulator, and have had more real good health than for years before. It relieves me at once, and is more satisfactory than any thim' of the kind I ever tried. I have also used it successfully to ward off bilious attacks.” —Joseph E. Wheeler, Cumberland Pres.
