At Cutbbert, at the last meeting of tho Watchful Fire Company, it was agreed to reorganize tho company under a different plan with the hope that an inoreasod inter est might be tho outcome.

Faircloth, of Berrien county, is a son of the late W. W. Fairclotb, formerly of Dougherty county, who helpeu Inuld the first frame house ever erected iu Albany the old hotel near the bridge. The handsaw he worked with is now in his possession. It is a venerable-looking tool, and the handle shows many a change of nyet. There were but four little log houses on Albany’s present site when the Tift hotel was built. News reached Alapaha Tuesday that J. W. Wheless’ still and fixtures, together with a quantity of rosin and spirits, were consumed by fire that day. The turpen tine farm, including the still, etc., had been recently sold to O. E. Sutton, but Mr. Wheless was not to give possession of the still till Jan. 1, or until he finished distilling his gum. The still will not lie a total loss. It is supposed that about S2OO will cover the damage to the still. The Cutbbert Cotton Factory, which has for the past six years been operated bv the Randolph Manfacturing Company, will be sold on the first Tuesday in January at pub lic outcry to pay indebtedness aud for dis tribution. This mill is complete, consisting of 2,500 spindles, one large engine and boiler, one small engine mounted, sixtv three acres of land, warehouse, office and eleven tenement houses. Tho original cost of the plant was about $40,000. At Alapaha last Saturday evening two young moi arranged to try the speed of their horses. The start was made and when about half of the distance was covered one of the young men lost his balance and fell.

For a time it was thought that ho was dead, but he soon revived, and in a few hours was able to leave for his home iu Irwin county. At Macon for two days there has been a big oase on trial before Judge Speer in the Federal Court. It is the case of tho New England Mortgage Security Company vs. Jacob M. Gay. The company is suing Gay for the recovery of some #8,500 with in terest, Gay’s plea is usury. He claims that ha never received but $6,500 of the money. A decision will be reached Mon day. The ease is a test case, and will be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. A few davs ago W. T. Gammons, who lives near Watkinsville, was out rabbit hunting and his dogs ran one under some rocks on his place. In diggiug for the rab bit he struck what must have been an Indian’s grave. He found one pipe in per fect preservation and the bowl and stem piece of another, also an Indian bowl, which he says will hold about one quart. He also found sonqj bones, but are not sure whether they are numau bones or not, No doubt some Indian brave was placed there as his last resting-place. W. M. Killebrew, the celebrated jail breaker and impostor preacher, made his second escape from jail at Mcßae Thursday, under the following circumstances: lie lias been complaining recently of heart disease, and through the Kindness of (sheriff Mcliae he was qjlowed to remain outside of the Culls where he could have full benefit of the stove these cold days, and wa- locked in the cell at night. He procured an ax by some means aud with it made a hole through the brick wall, and when the Sheriff arrived with supper his guest had flowu to parts unknown, and is still at large. The Capital City Club’s reception to President and Mrs. Cleveland at Atlanta cost just $5,822 80. A good many of the members were startled Friday when they received a statement of the expense and the deficit which reaches $1,987 33. Tho mem bers of the club gave in voluntary donations toward defraying the exiiense of the affair the sum of $2,885, aud $1,460 was raised by initiation fees of new members brought in by the reception. The Governing Commit tee is calling upon each member for a vol untary subscription of $lO, and somi of the members are Ix'ginning to think that this sort of fun is rather extieusive. Jefferson Herald : Horny hands 3eom to be at a discount in Jefferson. This is not on account of any great amount of wealth, but on account or aristocratic notions or down right laziness, we are unable to state which. Beventeen-year-old boys may be found here who never nit auv wood or draw a dozen buckets of water. Their mothers are afraid for them to handle edged tools or the windlass while small, aud they seem to be afraid to handle them when they grow up. We would much prefer to hear a lioy boast of Ins hard hands than to see him handle a gun with gloved hands while his parents uso the ax, shovel and hoe. Under the raptiou, “Two New Hearses,’’ the following cheerful advertisement ap pears in a Georgia contemporary: We now have two lu'anu new elegant hearses—one for the white, and one for the colored peo ple. Those are the handsomest hearses in the county, and will he furnished with each coffin or casket bought of us, if de sired. Just received, a large assortment of burial robes. Our undertaking dc ixu twient is the largest in middle Georgia. Of us, you can procure any kind and any size coffin, casket or metallic case you want. Our un dertaker will attend and assist in the burial of all white persons. Favor us with your orders, they will bo filled promptly, and at the lowest price. A dispute has arisen lietween Ross & Storey and the town of Jefferson in regard to assessing taxes on the mill property of the atiove named firm. The pond, which covers sixty acres of the best land in the county, lies outside of tho incorporate limits, while the mill and mill fixtures and twelve or fifteen acres of land are within the incor porate limits. Tho town insists on taxing the whole property, while Ross & Storey contend that the land outside is more valu able than the property inside of the limits, and should thus lie considered in assessing taxes. There may be a rule of law which settles this question, the reading of which will settle the dispute. Unless settled by arbitration the courts will be called upon to settle it. Statesboro Eacjle: Avery good story is told on n lawyer of this place. Sometime ago he, in company with two or three othei-s, gave a gentleman, who lives not far from here a serenade. The rural country man did not seem to like the way in which his night visitors aroused him from his calm repose, whereupon the rural country man discharged the contents of his gun in the midst of the sere nades. frightening the lawyer so bad that he jumped out of the wagon, and when the mules, at a 2:4ogait, had run three-quarters of a mile toward home, the lawyer iiad run two miles. In a few minutes the other par ties came upon him and found him quietly smoking his-pipe. Now, dear reader, don’t think this was Col. Shocklej". Friday Adjutant and Inspector General Kell issued an older appointing Dec. 28 for an election for Lieutenant Colonel of the Ninth Georgia battalion. Five companies comprise the battalion—the Greene Rifies of Groenesboro, the Madison Home Guards of Madison, the Elbert Light Infantry of Elbertou, the Walton Guards of Walton county, and the Gainesville Volunteers of Gainesville. An election was ordered and held on Dec. 10, and Capt. W. F. Jones, of Elbertou, was unanimously elected. But all the members participated in the election under the belief that tho provisions of the code governed the election, whereas the act of October, 1885, provided that the field officer should be elected by the commis sioned officers. The election was, therefore, void. Capt. Jones will lie elected. At Macon, Friday, there was a motion brought in chambers of the Superior Court in this city by the attorneys of the Cotton States Life Insurance Company for an ex tension of time granted in whi- h they may furnish the bond required of them by a pre vious order of the court The statement of the case, in brief, Is this: A petition having been filed by some of tho policy holders of the company for the appointment of a re ceiver in the Superior Court of Bibb county, and the company opposing the petition, was, on Nov. 26, granted an alternative. The motion for appointment of a receiver was heard by Judge Richard H. Clark. Judge Clark ordered that the defendant* be granted time until Friday to furnish such a bond as would satisfy the plaintiffs in the motion and properly secure the policy holders. The time having ex pired tho defendants yesterday moved for an extension of this probation until after the annual meeting of the directors and stockholders of the company, which takes place on Jan. 1. Judge Clark heard the motion, which was made by Capt. Harry Jackson, and granted the request. FLO HID A. An effort is being made to form a com pany a Daytona to build a bridge across tho river at that place. It will cost $6,000. S. P. Hinckley will sail his yacht Tempest against the Margarita, Key West’s cham pion, at Charlotte Harbor this week, for a purse ol' $1)00.

Tho wharf now being built at Brushy Point, near Tampa, will be 1,700 feet long, which will secure a depth of seventeen feet of water at mean low tide. It is rumored that a number of Ocala’s enterprising and wide-awake business men are thinking seriously of creating near the city an experimental tobacco farm. Eighteen years ago Neel Rain moved from Alachua county to Texas. Last Monday he passed through Tallahassee, en route to his old home, traveling by private conveyance, and having been eleven weeks on the road. Mr. Dillon, Superintendent of tho West ern Union and International Ocean tele graph offices in Jacksonville, has been ap pointed manager of the Bell Telephone Exchange in that city, vice Mr. Rood trans ferred to Savannah. Dr. Thompson, who has shown faith in Ocala’s future possibilities by erecting so many brick business houses, will now pro ceed xo erect a handsome dwelling for his own use on the lot east of the Florida South ern railroad track, and on south side of Fort King avenue. John Cleland, a conductor of the South Florida railroad, who has kept the yellow fever end of the road running during the late epidemic, has struck it rich for tho last two months. Besides his regular salary of SBO a month as conductor he i-eceived $65 a month as special postal clerk, and also a salary as express messenger. At St. Augustine the old building former ly occupied by George Myer & Cos., which has so long been an eye-sore to the public, standing, as it did, between tho Ponce de Leon ami Alcazar, is now being moved out of the way. Myer & Cos. have moved out into their new store on Bridge street. All the sheds now standing in front of the Al cazar will be removed in a day or two. Seuator Maun says the orange crop of the State this year will not exceed 700,000 boxes. He pronounces the home auction scheme a great success. He predicts that ordinary fruit will bring $3 a box within thirty days if the tendency to glut tho mar ket is stopped. If it is not, in thirty days from to-day there will bo none to sell at any price. He thinks fancy fruit will bring, during the Sub-Tropical duys, from $8 to $lO a box in Jacksonville. At St. Augustine real estate has taken a decided advance in the past few days, and the number of sales of property in and around the city has taken a I Jig jump. Thursday a sale was made by the St. John’s Savings Bank to M. C. Dizer, a prominent shoe dealer of Boston, of a lot on Cordova street, owned by Clelestino Segui. The price paid was $2,800. Mr. Dizer intends erecting a handsome residence for a winter home. Mr. Dizer and family will spend the winter at the Magnolia Hotel. Mr. Irvin Dryvlale has purchased a lot on Canal street. J. W. Teasley, a contractor on the Casa Monica, has pur chased a lot through j. 11. Sluter in New Augustine, and will erect a dwelling immediately.

The Tarpon HpHugs Hotel opened its doors about a week ago and the indications are that the house will do u rushing business for the Incxt four months. Nearly all of the winter resident*, people who have their owe homes THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER IS, !SS7. I and spend the winters there regularly, have returned and the city is full of life and gay ety. Situated on the Gulf as it is, Tarpon Springs affords abundant amusement and recreation in sailing, boating, fishing and , bathing, while on land the sportsman may I find —not hunting—but actual shooting ns good as any in the State. These things, m addition to the natural attractions in the way of real beauty and health, have gained for Tarpon the prosperity which she now has and which is increasing every season, The rails of tho Orange Belt rail way are coming toward that point very rapidly.

A FUNNY JOKE That Has Put a Party Behind the Bars. From the Augusta (Get.) Chronicle. Mr. T. H. Wannamaker, a traveling man, representing a Charleston house, went down to police headquarters night, and left a description of a fellow-drummer who, he claimed, had stolen liis satchel, together with a description of the party. He said that he and his fellow-traveler, whose name was J. A. Munch, representing, he claimed, a Louisville, Ky. ■ house, left Warrenton to go to Norwood on business, and when he returned to his hotel, Munch and a satchel belonging to Wannamaker had disappeanxl. He put in a complaint here before the police authorities of rob bery, for he had reason to believe that Munch had coino to Augusta. After some little search Munch was dis covered by the close description that had been given of him, and arrested on Broad street. He was stopping at the Columbia House, where he had, without any explain able reason, given the name of Brecken ridge when asked to register, which he failed to do. The missing valise or satchel could not be found iu the room he occupied Wednesday night. Then a strange feature of the ease developed—Wannamaker could not be found or heard from. He had left the Planters Hotel without any address or hint as to where he was going, and dis patches to all points failed to reveal his whereabouts. A message had in the mean time been sent to Munch’s house in Louis ville, and the answer came back, “no such firm.” Munch, who had stormed and swore on being arrested, and then, when told the nature of the charges against him, laughingly pronounced it a joke, explained the inability of tho Louis ville telegraph office to find his firm, saying: “We are three miles out of town.*’ Wah namakor and Munch would hardly play jokes on each other, as they met for the first time in Warrenton Tuesday or Wednes day, and men rarely ever presume to such length oil so short an acquaintance. Should Wannamaker fail to reveal his whereabouts or let the authorities hear from him, Munch can hardly be detained any length o£ time in jail, where he now is. The case as it stood last night was, to say the least, a pe culiar one. Munch is a man of extreme respectability in appearance, aud it is hard to believe the charge against him. If it were only a joke the relish of both gentle men for another such venture will be spoiled for similar experience. Too Cheap. In a recent issue it was stated that the cost of the system of sewerage for Pensa cola, as planned by George E. Waring, Jr., of the firm of Waring, Chapman & Farqu har, sanitary engineers, which comprehends the whole city, is estimated to be $5,578.10. This amount should have been $85,578.10, for about seventy per cent, of the city, and this correction is made beaause the munici pal authorities at Pensacola are being over run with inquiries from other cities about Pensacola’s alleged cheap system. Where Are You Going? If you have pain in the back, pale and sallow complexion, bilious or sick head ache, eruptions on the skin, coated tongue, sluggish circulation, or a hacking cough, you are going into yor grave if you do not take steps to cure yourself. If you are wise you will do this by the use of Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery,” compounded of the most efficacious ingredients known to medical science for giving health and strength to the system through the medium of the liver and the blood.
