Saturday night a negro woman named Anna Ross, living just east of Cole’s ware house, at Griffin, was called to the door, and when she came the caller shot her in the neck, inflicting a slight flesh wound.

Beach’s fllace near Oak Grove, Jefferson county, ost bis dwelling, kitchon and smokehouse, and everything in them, by fire Thursday. He and till his family were in the field, and before they could reach home all they had was fast burning up. No fire was left in thq bouse, and it is not known how it origi nated. Daniel R. Miley, of Dupont, formerly of Lowndes county, was found in a dying con dition in bis yard Tuesday last. " His wife was in Lowndes on a visit, and the old man, who is 70 odd years old, was at home by himself. When found his skull was crushed in from a blow as with an ax. It is not known who committed the foul deed nor bow it happened. Crawfordville Democrat: While in Ogle thorpe last week we were shown a potato that was certainly peculiar. It grew in the ground like other potatoes anil on a vine like others, but the peculiarity about it was this: It had inscribe t upon one side of it the letter “B" as perfect as if it had been made by haud, but this grew this way and the hand of nature did the work. And to make the potato a more wonderful thing, the letter thereon was the initial of the gen tleman who raised the potato. July Jones, a worthy colored man, who lives near Brushy Creek church, in Irwin county, on Tuesday last had his dwelling and kitchen, together with their contents, laid in ashes. July went to a trunk to get some clothing, at an early hour, and held a torch in one hand while he got the clothing with the other. He thinks some of the Are dropped among the clothing in the trunk and thus originated the tire. When he dis covered the lire it was under full headway, and all his household and kitchen furniture, provisions, etc:, were consumed. S. Mayer advertises his real estate in Al bany for sale. His business is now in Bruns wick, and his children are there, and he has decided to make that city his future home. Mr. Mayer owns between $25,000 and $30,- 000 worth of property in and around Al bany, all of which he now offers for sale. He came to Albany way back yonder in the “forties,” when the place was but a little village, and, first petidling and afterward engaging in the mercantile business, grew up with the town. The real estate which he offers for sale represents but a small part of his accumulations. Last Monday a little child of John Rich ardson, who lives in the southern portion of Berrien county, met with a horrible death. The mother was washing a few hundred yards from the house, but befort* leaving extinguished the fire. She left her little daughter at the house with the baby, the latter about 2 years old. Some time after the mother left, the little girl started a fire. The screams of the girl soon attracted the mother’s attention, and when she reached the house she found the baby dead—roasted alive. It is presumed that the child fell in the Are and swallowed the flame, causing almost instant death. Carrollton Free Press: Capt. Jim Martin ■was in town Wednesday and showed us, while here, some twenty particles of gold as large as pinheads, which he had taken from a half gallon of dirt on Mr. Zaek Hardigree’s place, in Heard county, joining Hollings worth ferry on the east side of the river. This dirt was taken from a vein which was thirty feet from the surface, known to lie four feet wide, and it was thought it was twelve. Capt. Martin thinks it the richest gold mine in the country. He says the idace upon which it is located has been leased by Gov. Gordon, McCutchen and Clark. Capt. Martin, on his Bowen farm, near by, thinks he has as much as a mile of the same vein. Alapaha Star: Japan persimmons grow to perfection in this latitude. The first of this delicious fruit we ever saw was grown by Hon. W. A Harris, at Isabella. This gentleman, who devotes much time and money to the introduction anil cultivation ©f flue fruits and rare flowers, has two large Japan persimmon trees which bear good crops each year. The persimmons are about ten times larger than the native variety, and most of them, if not all, are seedless. When ripe the fruit literally melts in the mouth. Maj. Harris protects the fruit from birds by spreading a net over the trees. Otherwise the mocking birds that make their home, winter and summer, in the beautiful evergreens which adorn liis flower yard, would devour the entire crop. Carrollton Free Press: A somewhat novel case was tried in the city court last Monday. As our readers are aware, the stock law wits declared in force in Fair Play district some time ago. Not long since some cattle run ning at large were impounded by W. W. Reynolds. The cattle were turned out by •ome one, and Steve Cochran and Bob Riley were charged with breaking the pound. Waiving indictment they were tried before Judge Adamson Monday morning without jury. Separating on trial Bob Riley came clear, but the court found Cochran guilty and lined him S3O. We understand that he will carry the case to the Supreme Court. This is the first raw growing out of the stock law in this county. We ‘understand that there is a good ileal of excitement in Fair Play district on the stock law question, and it is charged that there is an organiza tion up there to resist the stock law. Excelsior Pioneer and Eagle : Politeness is one of the most important accomplish ments which a young man can attain. Listen now how one instance of impoliteness made Mr. A. feel exceedingly bad: Mr. A gives Misses B. and C. a call. Miss B. walks into the parlor first, and, while both are busily talking, in walks old mother, to whom all politeness should be given; she salutes the young man with a polite “good evening,” w hile, in return, the young man eooly and slowly mutters “g-o-o-d e-v-e-n --i n-g.” Mr. A.'s mind is so fully absorbed in the sweet talking of Miss B. that he even forgets to offer the good old lady his chair, which is sitting close to the fireplace, where upon the old lady takes a chair in the rear ot the room; but after a while, doubtless disgusted with his impoliteness she retires. The young man sits an hour or two with the vouhg laities and then makes his departure. The atiove story is a true one, and may be applied to one of the young men of this place. This young man was caused to writhe in deep humility and almost thrown into delirious tremens while meditating over what he did. Be ever on the alert, young men, for an opportunity to show’ your politeness, (which you will never re gret) and more especially to odl ladies. Carrollton Times: We have the follow ing good story on two Carrollton fellows that is so rich we can’t keep from giving it to our readers. Ham Mingus and Alex Cox, our popular painters, went out to Anniston a few weeks ago on business. They decided to stop at that very popular and neatly furnished Oxana Hotel. Sam Mingus went into the office and the first thing was a large mirror to the right. Sam turned around and beheld a red-headed fellow, and Sam made quite a polite bow to the supposed hotel clerk, who, in return, made equally as polite one to Sam. Sam thought lie was the po litest man be ever saw and asked fora room. Sam stood stone still to hear an answer. The fellow stood as still as Sam and never uttered a word. Sam again: "I say, can’t I get a meal and a bed here to-night j” and he paused for a reply. Tiie fellow paused also, and Sam Mingus never knew but what he was being dui>ed until Aleck Cox said: “Sam, that’s nobody—it’s just your picture in the glass!” These fellows got their meals and bed and left on a freight train. Aleck was sitting and was just snoozing when a flagman with a lamp with a red light came in and set the lamp down very near Aleck. Aleck viewed the lamp, and after much thought about the red light, asked Sam: “Do they burn red oil in these lamps!” Athens Banner-Watcfimon: Twenty five miles, in a two-wheel ox cart, is a prettv good journey for such a day as last Thursday, and yet old Mingo Welbom, with seventy-one years of life, did not hesitate to make the trip in quest of Maj. Pruitt and his famous madstone. By the way, Major tells us that the madstone has been in his family some thirty years, and, of course, has many dark legends at taching to its wonderful cures. Old Mingo, now in search for this stone, was born in the upper edge of IVilkes county, the slave of Sli-. Billy Robertson. When a small boy lie was drawn by his young mistress, who married Mr. Josiah Welborn, of Morgan, ami was by them re moved to that county. He passed his days of slavery with this family, for whom he expresses the kindliest feelings. Shortly after freedom he drifted some few miles away, and has since lived in Fair Play dis trict. Morgan county. He has been mar ried five times. By his first wife he had ten children and she died. His next three wives were all torn from him by the unfor tunate workings of the distribution of slave proporty, wherein the slave wife followed tier owner rather than her husband. He sti:l lives with his fifth wife and has three children by her. He is a regular ante liellum darkey, and in appearance ami conversation arouses recollections of those glorious days of the past, glorious but still darkened by evils that war and time have dearly but fortunately stamped out. The occasion of the old man’s visit to Athens is a small bite from his little cur dog, that he fears was mail. The dog bit him last Mon day morning, and as yet no ill effects have resulted, but the old man’s friends insisted on his coming to seek cure of a possible ill from the healing stone. FLORIDA. The Arcadia saw and planing mills are running day and night. Nine new school houses have been built in Hillsborough county this year. Oranges and lumber are being shipped in large quantities from Arcadia. Punta Gorda was incorporated Saturday. W. H. Sunmons was elected Mayor. Arcadia elected a Mayor and Board of Aldermen, Clerk and Marshal Monday. Andrew Foster’s flue residence on King street, St. Augustine, is nearly completed. The supply of fish at Cedar Keys for a week past has been in excess of the demand. The St. John’s County Savings Bank, at St. Augustine, opened for business Thurs day. The great Ormond bridge, nearly 3,000 feet long, is completed and is paying 18 per cent. itenry A. Barling’s new residence in North City, St. Augustine, is completed and is an elegant one. The tobacco boom has reached Concord. People are thinking of planting pretty largely next year. J. Crim, who made an attempt to commit suicide at St Augustine a short time ago, has gone to Lake City. The number of gamblers in St. Augustine is increasing, and numerous games are being conducted on the quiet. At Broward the jetty company is making three new pole and brush mats for their work on the St. John’s bar. The City Clerk of St. Augustine will show plans and specifications for the rebuilding of the old market until Dec. 12, when the bids will be closed. • Work on the South Florida Exposition grounds at Sanford is being rapidly pushed, and the prospects are good for a large ami varied exhibit and a successful exposition. W. Milford Ingraham sent an order to New York Wednesday for sixty packs, or 1,200 books, of gold leaf, to bo used in the dome of the Ponce de Leon Hotel at St. Augustine. The bids for the new bonds of Madison county were opened on Tuesday of last week, and the entire issue, amounting to 875,000, was awarded to Messrs. B. C. Lewis & Sons, of Tallahassee. A bridge across the St. Sebastian nt Orange street, St. Augustine, is a much talked of scheme. It would boa great pub lic tienefit and would largely increase the value of property on the west side of the river. C. W. Jacoeks has recently lieen appointed Treasurer of Orange county, to hold until his successor is legally elected and qualified. Under the new constitution there could be no legal election to the office until the No vember election, 1888. The fish shipping industry at New Smyrna is beginning to be quite a business from that section. There is found the finest fishing ground on any of the coasts of Florida, and thousands of barrels of the finny triiie are leaving there for all parts of Florida and Georgia. The plans for tne large fire-proof hotel to be erected at Tampa are being pushed for ward by the New York architect, and it is expected that work will begin in a short time. It will haveu frontage of 1,102 feet, and everything connected with it will be of the best. Arcadia Arcadian: Wo learn that a THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1887. young lawyer at Trabue is laboring under tlie delusion that he can “bust up” the in corporation of both Ogden and Arcadia, on account of illegality, etc. Corao up, sonny, as soon as you can spare the time. We live to learn, you know. On Tuesday Bturkey Cox, of Attapulgus, Ga., arrived at Concord and was married to Miss Amanda Collins so very secretly that no one ill town, except Rev. Dr. Wright, who officiated, knew anything about the matter. Mr. Cox is an aged gentleman and Miss Collins was his sister-in-law. Instructions have been given to Acting Agent Robbins, for the South Florida Rail road, at Tampa, that all freight except fish and bedding can now leave as usual, but passengers for points in the State will bo de layed at quarantine camp one train, for fumigation of clothing and baggage. Through passengers will not be detained. Two plumbers at the Ponce de Leon Hotel, at St. Augustine, were discharged Tuesday for neglecting their work, and thereupon the whole force quit work Wednesday morning, demanding the rein statement of the two discharged. This the builder refused to accede to, but neverthe less the balance returned to work after dinner, and now all is serene in the plumb ing department of the great Poncede Leon. At St. Augustine last week while Gabriel Pomar was in the neighborhood of the Cleveland House, he noticed n colored man enter the hallway in a suspicious manner, and watching him, Pomar saw him take a fine beaver overcoat front the rack, and make off with it, Pomar at once gave chase. When the colored man reached the Museum, he threw the coat over a fence, but kept on running closely pursued by Pomar, who succeeded in overtaking him in North City, when the man drew a razor, but threw it over c fence making no attempt to use it. Pomar brought him to the city and turned him over to the Deputy Sheriff who lodged him in jail. At St. Augustine last week, William Lawrence, who is charged with shooting, in default of SI,OOO bail was committed to the county jail, for trial at the next term of the Circuit Court, in March next. The evi dence in this case was very conflicting, some witnesses testifying that Mr. Sullies was shot, while others were equally confi dent that he was only struck with a cane. Drs. Rainey and Smith were positive that the wouifd was caused by a bullet. After hearing all of the evidence, Judge Mac- Williams considered it sufficient to warrant him in holding Lawrence for trial on the charge of shooting with intent to kill. Law rence finally secured bail, his bondsmen be ing B. F. Oliveros, F. E. Witsell, D. M. Papy and Robert Mickler. Ell wood H. Buckman, second son of Capt. T. E. Buckman, of Jacksonville, died at his father’s home at 9:30 o’clock Monday night, after suffering with typho-malarial fever for six or seven weeks, in the 28th year of his uge. He was reared in Jacksonville, and finished his education at Monteagle Seminary, Sewannee, Tenn. He was promi nent in society, and was, undoubtedly, the best known and most popular young man in the city, being a leading member of the Florida Yacht Club. Nearly a year ago Mr. Buckman removed to Birmingham, Ala, but of late has been traveling for his father. It was during a trip to Macon, Ga., that he became a victim to the fever, and for several days he was at the Lanier House, in that city, until his father reached his bedside, when he was removed to the family residence on East Bay street. At Daytona Wednesday afternoon Wil liam Johnson, while standing near Frank Greer’s grocery, on First street, was accosted by Paul l'ilman, who, addressing two or three words to his intended victim, whipped out a 32-calibre pistol and fired once with fatal effect and immediately fled to the scrub west of town, and has up to this writing not been seen except once’ at about sunset on the Volusia road by G. W. Bennett, who was not aware of the crime. Upon Johnson’s person were found $lB 50 in cash and a razor, broken by the shot. It appears on examination of Drs. Wallace, .Mayer and J. H. Niver, that the darkey did not come to his death by a wound, there being no sign of broken skin, except a scratch on the little finger, while graspiug his defensive razor. I! . idently he died from fright. Both were negroes—gamblers and rogues of the deepest dye. Tilruan has been spotted for arrest some time, but has always eluded it at the important moment. It Was Not Dynamite. From the Brunswick (Ga.) Advertiser. Things are not always what they seem. The express wagon drove up to our door and the driver laid on our table a long iron tube plugged up at both ends with some thing looking like a fuse sticking out. We at once began to wonder what we had done to he threatened with dynamite and natur ally handled the thing very gingerly, until one better posted than ourself informed us that that tube contained a gold-headed cane, which a good wife intends for her husband on the anniversary of their marriage and had ordered it sent through our office to keep him from knowing anything about it. Wants Some Ante Bellum Straighten. From the Hamilton (Ga.) Journal. While in Talbot county last week we heard of a negro living near Talbotton who has turned from black to white. First little white spots appeared on his body, and these gradually spread until his whole skin became white. He would now be taken for a white man but for his kinky head. His head is covered with wool that refuses obstinately to straighten out and let him be a full fledged white man. Not Closed Against Shekels. From the. Hamilton (Ga.) Journal. We never like to dun our subscribers through the columns of the Journal, but if any of them happen to be in town Monday or Tuesday they will find us at the same old place. The front door may be closed, but that's to keep out the cold, not delinquent subscribers. Wants a Red-Headed Bride. liiddleville Cor. Sandersi'ille Progress.

One of ou. - merchants says lie often kills squirrels with his Winchester without hitting them. He says he shoots so close to their mouths that it cuts their breath off aud “down he comes.” Love Among the Roses. From the En terprise (Fla.) Herald. Florida is beyond question the most popu lar place in America for newly-wedded couples, and the number who spend their honeymoons here each season would aston ish oven the “oldest inhabitant." Who Ever Saw a Bald-headed Editor? From the Excelsior Pioneer anA Eagle. “He who steals my purse steals trash,” says Shakespeare. The same may tie applied to any bald-headed, battle-shanked, knock kneed editor who will clip items from this pajier and not give credit. A Wake on a Hog. From the Sandcrsville Progress. The belled buzzard, which has a national reputation, was seen at the plantation of Ralph Hall, of this county, on Sunday last. When last heard from ho was attending the remains of a dead hog.
