NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD
IN PARAGRAPHS.

at Bluffton A Mad Cow In Sumter

Mrs. Lord Should Not be Allowed to
Represent Georgia.
GEORGIA.
Col. R. F Maddox has sold hi* fine farm
nod beautiful villa, Mt. Etowah, just across
the Etowah river, and commanding a fine
view of Canton, to Campbell Wallace. Jr.,
of Atlanta, for #IO,OOO.
The proprietors of the Rome daily and
weekly Bulletin offer for sale the entire or
a half interest in that well-known Journal.
The Bulletin is one of the oldest papers in
its section, and has an office well supplied
with material, and is doing a good busi
ness.
Bluffton has been besieged by lawyers
and drummers this week, who were brought
there by the failure of W. T. Greene. Mr.
Greene sold out his mercantile business Pi
his brother. H. M. Greene, last Friday, but
his creditors are trying to have the sale set
asfde and a receiver appointed. Mr. C+reene
was one of the town’s leading merchants,
and for several years has done a heavy
credit business. A failure to collect is said
to have caused his misfortune.
It is said that the reason Hells Bros circus
didn’t go to Southwest (ieorgia was because
the management of the Savannah, Floridu
and Western railway refused to give the
combination transportation over that road
on account of the trouble they had three
years ago, when, it W'ill be remembered, the
white canvassinen had a falliug out with
the colored employes of the concern, and
dumped every colored man from the train
between Thomasville and Albany.
An old limn by the name of Laviner had
the misfortune to get his leg broken some
time in September last, and on Saturday
last he was token to tbe Randolph County
Poor Farm to be cared for. On account of
neglect or bad management the broken leg
was found to be in a dreadful condition, ana
little hope was entertained of his recover} - .
Tt was evidently necessary to take off the
leg. which was done by Drs. McLester and
Shelly, but the poor sufferer died Tuesday
evening.
J. A. Killingsworth dropped a five dollar
bill from his po< ketbook, while making
some purchases at Bridges & Collins’s, at
Bluffton, this week. AVhen he got home he
missed the monov. and came back to look
for it. Mr. Ed Fain remembered having
seen a negro man pick up five dollars in the
store, t:o negro claiming, at the time, that
he had drooped the money himself, but
when called on by Mr. Killingsworth, he
acknowledged finding it, and‘'forked it
over. ”
Dawsonville News: Elder Thaddeus
Pickett was in Atlanta last week, and made
a speech in favor of returning the 130 bar
rooms Atlanta used to have. In ascending
the platform, Mr. Pickett said he would re
frain from opening the meeting with prayer
as it was a political meeting, and. further,
that he appeared as a citizen, and would
lay aside his clerical robes. We appreciate
the reverend gentleman s acknowledgement
that God’s blessings could not lie upon
the meeting without committing blasphemy,
and that clerical robes will not fit a cham
pion of barrooms.
The husband of the woman publishes the
following in the Cherokee Advance: On the
night of Nov. 25 Mrs. Mary S. Dimsdalo,
wife of W. Smith Dimsdale, who lives one
mile from Ball Ground, eloped with one
Andrew Harper. They were seen together
on that evening. HarjW is a man of about
36 years, dark curly hair, sandy moustache,
very freckled, dressed in blue clothes when
last seen. He leaves a wife and three chil
dren, and Mrs. Dimsdale a husband and two
children. She is 33 years of age, spare
made, dark hair and eves. The au
thorities will please arrest the above.
George W. Clark and Son, grocers of
Griffin were burned out Wednesday night.
The store was entirely destroyed and the
loss will fall very heavily on the firm, as
they carried but a #2,400 insurance, and
had just received a heavy consignment of
new goods worth, with tbe entire stock,
about $5,000. Nothing was saved from the
grocery but the dime store stock was saved
in a damaged condition. O. H. Ison, W.
M. Holman & Cos., J. N. Harris & Son and
J. H. Keith ail suffered more or less loss
from moving their goods. D. J. Bailey,
Jr., owned the burned building, but his loss
is partially covered by insurance.
The National Central Commit'ee of the
Prohibition iarty was considerably shaken
up Wednesday out in Chicago by the re
quest or the demand of a Mrs. Lawrence
Lord to be placed on the committee as a
representative from Georgia. She has been
living in Chicago the past three months,
exhibited great interest in the prohibition
proceedings, and claimed that she was a
member of the committee in Pittsburg last
year. Mrs. W. C. Sibley, State President
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union
for Georgia, sent the following telegram to
Chicago Thursday: “To the National Pro
hibition Convention, Chicago, 111., care
ex-Gov. St. John: Mrs. Lord is not a Geor
gian; does not live here now; was only here
a short time and can not represent Georgia
any way.”
Caleb Griffin, of the Twenty-eighth dis
trict of Sumter county, hud a very flue cow
attacked by hydrophobia a few da vs ago.
She was with his other cattle, and noticing
that she was acting very strangely, he put
her in a lot by herself. In a few minutes
her eyes were of a glaring green color and
her tongue swollen, while a thick froth fell
from her mouth. She was very vicious, try
ing to gore and bite all who were on the out
side of the pen. She would bite the rails
and make a growling noise like a dog. John
Griffin, a son, who lived at another place,
went into the lot to examine her. She no
sooner saw him when she uttered a roar and
went for him at full sjieed. John ran for the
fence, leaped over, and she ran full tilt
against it, scattering the rails generally.
Sne stood there biting and goring them, and
was killed to put her out of misery and to
prevent further mischief.
Cherokee Advance: At a meeting of the
stockholders of the Alta-California Mining
Company, of this county, held at Acworth
last week, the stock of the company was all
represented, with the exception of fifty
shams owned by John M. Wood, an original
stockholder. The company was re-orgau
ized, partially, by the selection of E? C.
Wade, G. W. Wylly, W. H. Perkinson and
J. Worth Putnam as directors. E. C. Wade
was chosen President, W. H. Perkinson,
Secretary, and J. Worth Putnam, Treas
urer. The property of this company is
situated near Holly Springs, known as
the "Daniel Putnam Gold Midp," and is
said to be exceedingly rich. The com
pany, we understand, will begin work on
the property in a short while. It is the in
tention of Col. Wade, we learn, to complete
the reorganization of the Americnn Min
ing Company, of this county, and the Fight
ingtowu Mining Company, o'; Fannin county,
Georgia, as soon as it can be done, ami pro
ceed to open and develop both minei. The
first above named is a gold mine located in
Cherokoe county, on the line of the Marietta
and North Georgia railroad, and it, too, is
said to be rich. The other is a copper mine
in Fannin county, also on the line of the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad, and is
located near the famous Ducktown mine,
and is one of the same vein of copjier.
Joseph Coates, of Philadelphia, who is a
member of the large thread firm of that
city, and who, with his family, is interested
in cotton mills there, arrived in Athens
Wednesday. It is understood that this
morning tie will go out to Barnett’s shoals,
on Middle Oconee river, near Athens, with
a’view to locating a site for a yarn mill and
factory. It wilt be remembered that the
Coates have recently put up a factory on
the Augusta canal and that one of the mem
bers oil ho firm is a stockholder in the
Athens factory. Mr. Coates’ idea is to
move down some of his Philadelphia
machinery, just as he has done to Augusta,
•nd if ho selects Burnett Shoals us u favor-
able site, will put tip there hi* mill and ii*
the power of this splendid location. Bar
nett's Shoals is one of the finest powere in
Georgia. The bed of the Oconee is rock,
and at the head a natural dam extends en
tirely across, diagonally down the stream
from the left bank to the right, and there
fore just favorable for turning the water to
! the left bank. Over the ledge occurs the
| most, rapid fall, amounting to twenty-five
feet ill 300 yards. The river is about 130
feet wide above the shoal, and very deep,
1 and the banks are low and sandy. In a
heavy freshet tiie river rises six to
| seven feet, while three-fourths of a mile
| above it rises seventeen feet, and on the
! shoal i self scarcely ever over three or four
ftet. It is one of the finest sites in that pai r
of the State. Fine building Stone is found iu
the immediate vicinity. Prof. D. C. Bar
row, who has made a survey, says: “I
should say tbe shoal is twelve miles from
Athens, though many persons familiar with
the road, think the distance loss. When
j the Macon and Athens road is built it will
■ pass within two or three miles of this shoal.
The census gives the fall as 45 feet; it is 53
feet. I made a careful survey of it. Ihe
amount of water is put in the census fob low
season dry years at 2Ufi cubic feet per second
giving 23,4 horse power per foot of fall.
From-measurement made of North and
Middle Oconee in dry season 1 feel sure t hat
this should be at least 50 per cent, greater,
say 310 cubic feet per second and 35.2 horse
power j>er foot fail. Somo day a large town
will be located on the banks of the Oconee
at Barnett’s Shoals.”
