6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. Legal Proceedings Follow a Failure at Bluffton A Mad Cow In Sumter County-Mrs. Sibley Telegraphs that 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.” FLORIDA. Volusia county has 1,746 school children. Tbe beacons on Pensacola Buy are said to be in bad condition. Judge McWhorter is spending a few days with his family at Milton. The shipment of oranges from Sanford this season is not as heavy as it was last year. Chief Justice Maxwell, of the Supreme Court, and Gov. Perry are at their homes in Pensacola. The steamer Queen of the St. John’s is to run from Jacksonville to Sanford in con nection with the Clyde line. J. U. Matthews, of Walton county, is ex hibiting a fine sample of starch made from the cassava plant, locally grown. It hits been estimated that there are fully 500 strange negroes in Pensacola, attracted there by the local labor troubles. "The work of preparing the grounds for the South Florida Exixwition at Sanford is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Never in the history of Pensacola were there so many vessels in the harbor at the beginning of December as there are now. S. Weller Johnston, of DeLand, is about organizing a syndicate to furnish illus trated letters and sketches to the Southern press. Gen. W. D. Barnes, State Comptroller, is at his post again, after spending a few weeks'll West Florida, recuperating from his recent serious illness. There are few towns of the size of De- Land anywhere in the Union that can boast of an ice factory, a dairy, electric lights, three newspapers and a fine univer sity. At Pensacola C. Corner has sold a quarter of the steamer Willie C. to Messrs. Fred Bauer, of Warrington, and David Kugel man, of Pensacola. The consideration was $875. The stockholders of the Blue Lake Drain age and Improvement Company met re cently for the purpose of introducing new and improved machinery in tlieir extensive operations near Delaud. Quite a curiosity in the shape of a twin orange is on exhibition at B. R. Stripling’s s ore at Anthony. It was found in Mr. Stripland’s grove. Many old inhabitants say they never saw anything of the kind be fore. The clamor in different portions of the State for an extra session of the Legislature is useless, as it can be safely said that Gov. Perry will not convene the body in extra session in the absence of more urgent, and imperative necessities. The contractor on the artesian well at DeLand is patiently pecking away. The well is now 417 feet deep and cased with iron to the bottom. The drill is now work ing in the hardest strata of rock yet struck; 0 feet has been drilled through it. The Putman county grand jury has petitioned the GoFtr.ior to re instate W. F. Forward as County Clerk. He will be remembered as tbe official recently changed with malfeas ance in office, but w ho was exonerated. The first annual meeting of the Florida State Bar Association will be heid in Jack sonville on the first Monday in February. Tho secretary and treasurer and chairman of the Executive Committee form a com mittee to arrange for a banquet at the meeting.

A dwelling at the corner of Oak and Third street*. Palatka, was burned Wednes day night. It was occupied by a Mr. Finch. His furniture, worth #6.50. was insured for SSOO. It was all burned. Tho house was a one-story building and was probably worth about #I,OOO, and was owned by William lvers. Acron people nre having a boom, and are subscribing lands and money liberally m aid of a proposed road. It will be called the Tavares, Orange City and Eastern, and will come through tho Acron section of country from Tavares. It is tbe intention of the company to cross tho St. John’s river either at Crows’ bluff or Hawkinsville. The motion of tbe Florida Savings Bank and Real Estate Exchange vs. tho Eureka Ice Machine and Refrigerator Company, for ail order of execution against Frank A. Smith's Individual estate, he being the largest stockholder in the ice company, was granted in the Circuit Court at Jackson ville Thursday, Exceptions were taken.

Some of themjirojKjso to engage largely in the plant ing of strawberries, others in tiie planting of vegetables, and others in growing fruit. One party will set out 100 acres in the Le- Conte pear and tigs, while others will set out five to fifty acres in the same.
