Foot a Bill for Analyzing Certain
Beverages Cases in Court at
Waynesboro—A Lady of Walden
Frightens Away a Prowler.
GEORGIA.
Dooly county’s new jail has been accepted
by the County Commissioners.
Griffin News: "Talk about another cotton
mill.” said Superintendent Randall yester
day. “ what wejwant is three or four more.
Running to our fullest capacity wo can only
supply 10 per cent, of our orders. ”
There have been several new houses built
at Cordele, Dooly county, including the
academy, and others will bo built as soon as
workmen can be commanded to do the
building. About seventy-five building and
store lots have been sold to date.
A gentleman with ample capital has a
project on foot to open a National Bank in
Dawson next spring. It is said that a brick
building for the use of the bank will be
erected on Main street where the woodeu
building belonging to the Sharp estate now
stands.
The case against P. L. Sutherland, charged
with forgery, was called in court at Daw
son last week, but the defendant failed to
respond. The case will go over to next
court, and if Sutherland is not here then his
bond will be forfeited. The bond is for $3OO
and is signed by Jones Key, of Jefferson
county.
Wednesday, by a special act of the Legis
lature, an election was held in Douglass
county as to whether D. W. Price, former
County Treasurer, and his securities should
be relieved from any further liability on
their bond to the county. But a small vote
was polled, only 515. The parties were re
lieved by a majority of 27.
Rev. Jacob Young and Warren Paulk, of
Irwin county, recently sold sk,Boo worth of
timber to a turpentine firm. They received
SI per acre for the timber alone. After the
timber is turpentined and reduced to lum
ber they still own the land. Several of the
lots cost them $5O each—perhaps nearly all
of them. On such lots they made a profit
of $440 on the timber alone.
At Atlanta Wednesday, a petition was
filed in the clerk’s office by the Attorney-
General asking the Superior Court to allow
the Journal Publishing Conqiany to increase
its capital stock from $15,000 to $50,000.
The Southern Agricultural Works made ap
plication to the Superior Court to Ik l allowed
to decrease its capital stock from $150,000 to
$75,000. The application was filed in the
clerk’s office.
At Coosaw on Monday last the rubber
belt that runs the press to C. P. Moi-ton’s
cotton gin broke and struck Berry Gibson
(colored), who managed the press, square in
the face. He was picked up insensible, with
his nose mashed flat, his eyes protruding an
inch from the head, and considerable contu
sion about the mouth. The doctor says that
the man’s nose will adjust itself, but he is
doubtful about his sight.
At Sandersville, Thursday, a wagon
loaded with two heavy bales of cotton, ran
over Taylor Barwick, aged 8 years, while
he was attempting to climb into it. One
ear was almost tom away from his head.
No more serious injury was sustained, how
ever. Dr. Mathis attended him. The little
boy submitted manfully to the taking of
the necessary stitches. Those who saw the
accident consider it almost a miracle that it
was not fatal, as the wheel seemed to pass
directly over his head.
Griffin News: A pupil in one of the pub
lic schools of this city complied recently in
the following manner with a request to
write a composition on the subject of a physi
ological lecture to which the school had
just listened: “The human body is made up
of the head, thorax and the abdomen. The
head contains the brains, when there is any.
The thorax contains the heart and the
lungs. The abdomen contains the bowels,
of which there are five, A. E, I, O and U,
and sometimes W. and Y.”
It has been generally rumored that Rev.
Sam Small is about to sever his connection
with the Methodist church with a view to
joining the ministry of the Protestant Epis
oopal church. A i in -.tiga ion shows ttn,
the rumor has no foundation in fact. A
year ago Mr. Small ioi.ed the North
Georgia Conference of the Methodist
church, South, on trial. He has depai-ted
to other fields of work, and has resigned
from the conference, but is still a local
pi-eucher of the church, residing at present
in Washington city.
At Atlanta Thursday night between 11:3i)
and 12 o'clock five prisoners in the county
jail made a desperate attempt to escape by
setting fire to the building. This is the
second time within the past two weeks that
an effort has been made to bum down the
jail. This last attempt, however, was much
bolder and more cunuing than any ever be
fore made, and it would have succeeded,
doubtless, but for the prompt action of As
sistant Jailers Osborn and Kimberry, and
the ready and faithful assistance of several
lit the employes about the place.
At Atlanta, at the last meeting of the
Board of Police Commissioners, the follow
ing bill against the city was presented for
payment: “1887. October-*-For analysis of
cherry tonic, $25: for analysis of nerve
tonic, $2O; for analysis of rice beer, $2O; for
analysis of lager beer, $3. Total, $68.”
Commissioner Stephens objected to the
payment of said bill by the police depart
ment, for the reason that no authority vest
ed in them to order such work done, and
moved that the bill be referred to the City
Council for its action. The motion was
amended by referring to the City Attorney,
but the bill is yet unpaid.
“Talking of booms,” said a well-known
youug business man of Atlanta Thursday,
‘‘l’d like to get my money out of Chatta
nooga. There are several Atlanta men who
are interested in some of those land com
finies. I know one by sad experience, for
put some money in it. Our capital stock
was about $50,0(X) and we paid it in. Then
we invested our money in land, making the
first payments. Our idea was that wheu
the seoond payments became due our prop
erty would have advanced so that by selling
a small portion we could make the payments
on the rest. The payments are due; wo
have no money in our treasury and our land
won’t sell for what we paid for it.”
Americas Republican: [Several weeks ago
the .RcpitWiean.publiflhed that the grave of
a certain rich man, who died and was
burled in a neighboring county, had been
opened and robbed. Last Saturday the son
of the deceased, having heard of the state
ment, dug into his father’s grave, or had it
done, and found everything as it should be.
The cause of the report being putin circula
tion was that a stranger went there to have
a grave dug, employed some negroes to dig
it, and while he was absent, they opened an
other grave before they were aware of
it. Thu dirt from this grave was thrown
over the other grave, which attracted the
green flies and gave rise to the report of the
robbery.
Superior Court convened at Waynesboro
last week, Judge Roney presiding. This
week the criminal docket has been taken
up. The most important case yet tried was
the ease of the Htato vs. James Kilpatrick,
burglary at Midville, Ga., of a safe, from
which about #BOO was stolen. The prosecu
tion was ended last night, and the jury
brought in the verdict not
guilty. Mr. Kilpatrick is a young
man 24 years of age, and lias al
ways enjoyed the confidence and high re
spwt of all who know him. He will enter
suit immediately against the Central Rail
road and Banking Company for damages of
character, at whoso instance the prosecu
tion was brought. Thursday the court was
eD gaKed iu the murder r *se against Cross,
who, it is claimed, murdered Mr. Cross, his
cousin.
At WaMen Wednesday evening Miss
Emma McArthur, after playing a few songs
on the piano, thought it time to retire, and
went In her mother's room to warm before
*ae did so. She noticed the cui ttuua were
up and thought she would put them down
before retiring. After sitting there a few
minutes she turned to the window and saw a
man, she thought to be white,
gazing in upon her. Thinking
it was a young boy they had hired
a few months previous, called him. He
looked at her for a few seconds ipl she
called again. He then ran, as he knew she
saw him. Calling her 15-year-old brother,
she told him to get the gun and made him
shoot. This is tlio third time in the last two
years someone has been seeu prowling
around tiie doctor’s house.
Washington Gazette: Mr. Jeff Gunn,
a young man, of this county, came in
yesterday morning with his face lacerated
in a terrible manner, as if some dog had
been biting him. I‘arts of the nose was gone
and the lip was torn for three inches. It
looked incredible to think that a human
being had inflicted this terrible wound by
biting, but it was all from one bite by a ne
fro man. Tho negro’s name is Lee Fanning.
he negro was at tho gin house iu the early
morning, preparing for ginning, and Mr.
Gunn’s little brother was firing up the en
gine. As Mr. Gunn approached tho gin
house ho saw the npgro take hold of his lit
tle brother and jerk and shake him. Mr.
Gunn ran up to whore they were and
picking up a stick of wood knocked the ne
gro down with it. Mr. Gunn did not har
bor any malice toward the negro, and when
he had stopped him from imposing on
his little brother, helped him up
and bound up his wound. The negro then
took a seat on a log by tho fire and sat there
for some time. In tho meanwhile Mr.
Gunn went on running the engine, when
very suddenly the negro sprang at him, and,
pulling his head backwards, made the fear
tui bite. It was all done in an instant, and
before Mr. Gunn could realize the situation
the negro was gone.
FLORIDA.
Tho Methodist church building at Bowl
ing Green will soon be finished.
There is a tea plant in tho yard of Mrs.
Smith, at Palatka, that is three or four feet
high.
Judge T. W. Anderson, of Homeland, has
made arrangements to plant a twenty-acre
peach orchard.
The Orlando Gas Company is working
steadily to have everything ready to turn

Capt. Isaac A. Mason, of Bowling Green,
has sold his orange crop to Cyrus Jones at
50c. per hundred on the trees.
Forty-two Italians left Jacksonville on the
Florida Railway and Navigation road on
Thursday morning for Yellow Bluff, via
Cedar Keys, to work on the Orange Belt
railroad, which is now being rapidly pushed
on to Tarpon Springs and southward to
Point Pinellas.
The Palatka police and entire force of
employes are still paid in scrip and they
can get no money on it, except at a ruinous
discount. One of the police was offered
(S9c. on the dollar for his, which cf course
he refused. The chairman of the Council
failed to borrow the funds authorized to
pay off the labor bills for last month.
Mrs. J, M. Wilson, living on Lake
Rowena, furnished the car of W. S. Webb,
“Florida on Wheels,” with five pineapples
weighing in the aggregate twenty-eight
and three-fourths pounds. Mrs. Wilson nas
now about 1,500 plants, in which she takes
S-eat pride, attending to them herself alone.
er place is on pine land and only one barrel
of fertilizer has been used this year.
The Florida Conference of the M. E.
Church South, convened in annual session
at Leesburg on Wednesday, Bishop J. S.
Key, of Georgia, presiding. There is a full
attendance of ministers and lay delegates,
and tho town is full of strangers. Rev. J. W.
Burke, of Macon, preached an able sermon
last Wednesday. Young J. Allen, who has
performed missionary work iu China and
Japan for the past thirty yea re, delivered
quite interesting lecture*. Other distin
guished visitors are expected. Services are
held daily in all the churches.
For six years past Col. John Q. Bur
bridge. Mayor of Jacksonville, has been
stubbornly fighting for the possession of a
half interest in two valuable plantations in
Mississippi and ten days ago the United
.States Supreme Court decided in his favor.
Both of these plantations are located on
Black river, in the vicinity of Vicksburg,
which is the finest cotton section of the
State. Each of the two contain about 1.800
acres highly improved, and with good
houses, barns, etc. Negotiations are now
pending for their being rented for the com
ing season. In one of the houses on the prop
erty, Gen. Grant made his headquarters
during the siege of Vicksburg.
In the midst of the third act of “lady
Claaearty” at Palatka Wednesday night
someone with stout lungs at the foot of the
stairway at Fry’s Opera House shouted
“fire.” Instantly there was a clatter of
feet and a general rush toward the exit.
The clanging of the flreboll and additional
yells of fire were not calculated to allay the
fears of the audience. A few of the cooler
heads soon restored order, and in view of
tin fact that the fire was several blocks
away there was no cause for alarm. Sev
eral attempts were made by the company
to resume the play, but it was up-hill work
to get started again. By and by the excite
ment died away and tho play continued.
Tallahassee Tallahassean: Some home
made counterpanes, or bed spreads, were
sent to Saxon & Co.’s store last week to be
sold. They were from Wakulla county,
and the girl, the sheen, the cotton, tho dye,
the spinning wheel, the loom, tho sleys, the
shuttles ana everything connected with the
making of these neat and comfortable
spreads, except a 40 cent pair of cards,
were raised in Wakulla county.
A Wakulla fanner raised the sheep and the
cotton and made the loom and spinning
wheel, and Mias Theodosia Lawhom carded,
spun andtdyed (from such dyes as are plen
tiful in the forests of Wakulla), and wove
the spreads after patterns of her own de
signing, and they are pretty enough to adorn
the bed of a Prince.
Pensacola Commercial: Furt her informa
tion in respect to the suit of clothes found
Monday' evening, neir Sullivan’s boom, is
to the effect that their owner, in his success
ful effort to prevent identification of him
self through liis clothing, had cut his name
frorq his shirt front, erased his
name from tho lining of his hat,
mid had destroyed the lalsd on a small phial
of medicine which, with 15c., was found in
the pocket of tho clothes. With the excep
tion of the overcoat the clothing was of
English cut and make, and from that fact it
ix inferred that their owner was an English
man. If he suicided, which looks probable,
and by drowning himself in the Doom his
body will likely stay in one spot, until it
rises, as there is little if any tide in the in
closure.
Tho Art Annex building of the Sub-Tropi
cal Exposition at Jacksonville was begun
Thursday. It will lie 88x02, and two stories
high, the upper floor being the art gallery.
On the first floor will be reading and wait
ing rooms, etc. The walls of the upper sto
ry will be 20 feet high, giving plenty of
room for hanging tho canvasses. The light
also will be ample. In the centre of the
floor will lie erected a triangle 20 feet high,
in tho inside of which the most valuable
paintings wdll be shown. H. Jay' Smith, the
art director, is a wealthy Minneapolis gen
tleman, and he has hnd considerable experi
ence in this line, having had .charge of tho
art exhibit of the Minneapolis exposition,
which was declared one or tho best ever
held. The art exhibit here, it is said, will
lie second only to that at the centennial ex
position at Philadelphia. The famous pri
vate galleries of New York, Boston, Phila- -
delphia and other cities, will be freely
drawn upon, and many works of the old
masters are promised. One feature of the
exhibit will be tho reviewing of the most
celebrated works. Tliese will remain oil
tho walls for a week, and then give way to
other masterpieces. Probably 400 canvasses,
or over, will be shown, many of them
valued at thousands of dollars each.
