The telephone system of Americus is in operation now. A child of Anna Dent, colored, was burned to death at Wrights villa last Satur day. Its clothing was ignited at an open fire-place. At Albany, notwithstanding the lateness of the season, great teams of cotton con tinue rolling into the city, and the com presses are kept busy. Miss Anna Tullis, of Webster county, died last Monday morning of an over dose of morphine (so supposed). It is snid tiiat she took the dose with suicidal intent. Americus will be represented at the meet ing to lie held in Chattnnnogn soon, to make an effort to get cheap transportation from the North to the principal cities in the South. Two negro men were burned to death near Crisp last Thursday night. The house they were ia was burned also. They had just bean paid about 4100 each, and had liought some clotuing and preparations made to leave for their homes in North Car olina. They were occupying the house alone. Rev. J. P. McKemmie, of the Metho list church, living near Fort Gaines, died at his residence Sunday morning and was buried •with Masonic honors at Wesley Chapel church on Monday. An assemblage of more than 500 persons at the funeral from all parts of the county showed his hold upon the people. In a horse race at Augusta Wednesday in the quarter dash, Willie Peletier, a young white boy who rode Billy, was thrown im mediately after passing under the string. His head struck first, causing concussion of the brain. He was carried home senseless. The wound will probably prove fatal, al though there is a possibility of his recovery. A party of eleven went out about four miles from Rockmart Tuesday on a deer hunt. After a fine race one of the party, Leonard Turner, shot and killed a large antlered buck, weighing 100 iiounds dressed. The hunters say t here are quite a liumtier in the mountains around here, and are antici pating a nice hunt during the Christmas holidays. At Byron Tuesday night Mose Little, a negro boy 12 years old, who lives on Mrs. Wagon’s place, went to the well to draw a bucket of water. The rope has a bucket at each end, and as he went to lot one of the buckets uowii he was jerked into the well, the one he was letting down being filled with water. He went down 04 foet cling ing to the rope. His crios soon brought as sistance, and when drawn up he was found to have sustained internal injuries, which may result in his death. “It was Parson Anthony,” remarked Tom Clayton, at Albany, "the other day, “who originated the rule among the deer hunters that whoever missed a deer at sixty yards should lose the tail of his shirt. He has never fired and missed yet, but he says if he does he knows he will lose all the lower part of his undergarment, from the nock band down, as the boys swear they will each wear a piece of it as a button-hole bouquet.” Col. J. L. Boyt, the veteran fox hunter, caught two foxes' Tuesday and also brought into the city a long procession of wagons containing "fifty bales of cotton of his this year’s crop. Robert G. Ray, the Douglass county far mer to whom was awarded one of Messrs. Scott & Co’.s first prizes, seeems to have got into a pretty tight place. He is now ac cused of having committed forgery. One of the three names signed to the certificate which accompanied his exhibit or claim was that of A. R. Boemer. Mr. Boomer is one of the most prominent citizens of Douglass county, was foreman of the grand jury at the last term of court, and it is the feeling in Douglass county that if Mr. Boemer cer tified to the truth of Mr. Ray’s claim it must be true. But Mr. Boemer says lie didn’t do that. A warrant has been issued for Ray’s arrest. The session of the Farmers’ Alliance at Fort Valley lasted two days. Delegates representing twenty counties were in at tendance and a full organization was ef fected. The work will, in the future, lie done under the direction of the State Alli ance.

Abbeville 7ivies: A newly made bride and groom got lost several mornings ago while making their way to the early morn ing train. After driving around for some time near the depot, the groom got out of the buggy and led around for awhile vainly endeavoring to find his way. When the train blowed to leave he was heard howling from a dismal swamp near by for Joe to bring him a light. Mr. Frank B. Collins who happened to be at the depot, heard the howling groom, and t>eing always ready to assist the distressed, he procured a lantern and hastened to the rescue of the lost couple He got them to the depot in time to place them under the care or the conductor who promised to take them safely to their home in Americus. Griffin Sun: Mr, J. B. Wilson, of this city, is a most remarkable man. He was born at sea, while his parents were emi grating to America, and his mother dying a few weeks after, he was moved around through sixteen States in as many years by his roving father. He grew up without education, wild and dissipated. A few years ago he was converted, and s'nee then |h&s lived an exemplary Christian life. One night lie says he had a dream to the effect that he must rev ise and read a certain chapter in the Bible. The dream so im fireesed him that he obeyed it, and although le did not know a letter of the alphabet, found the chapter and read it through. Sinoe that time he has read his Bible regu larly, but cannot read anything else. He can read any chanter in the Bible, but not a word in any other book, or newspaper. Sylvania Telephone: On last Saturday, while Mr. Jud.-on Lawton, living over on Brier creek, was going home in his wagon, lie met a negro with whom he had had a difficulty some time ago. The trouble was renewed, and a few werds were passed by both, when Mi-. Lawton jumped from the wagon and knocked the negro down. The latter pulled a razor from Ins pocket and at tempted to cut Mr.- Lawton, but was knocked down again. He arose the second time, however, and In a few moments had cot Mr. Lawton about the face and neck very severely, inflicting wounds that bled profusely. He was cut about the mouth so riadly that his tooth were visible through the gash. They were finally separated by a negro who was on the wagon, and Mr. L nv ton was carried home, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. W. C. Bowie. We are glad to know that he is getting along very well, although hLs face is terribly disfig ured. Sylvania Telephone: Lost Saturday night about 8 o’clock tho quiet of our town was disturbed by the report of a pistol, which was fired five limes in rapid suooes sion. Inquiry into the cause of theshootiiig develop tho fact that a difficulty had oc curred between Mr. J. J. Longest nnd T. H. Brown, in the store of Mr. L. H. Hilton, during the progress of which Mr. Longest tUe ,)ack of hu lcft Eand and on bis left aide. By some means he dropped his pistol on the counter, which was picked up by Brown. Longest then seized a lighted lamp which was on the counter and throw it at Brown, shattering it in pieces, whereupon Brown fired five rounds a- fast as ho could pull the trigger, the pistol being a .self-cocker, three of the balls entering the ceiling overhead and one tearing its way through a sins; box on the shelf ami ruining a4B pair of shoes. The othei shot could not lie found. The creak ing of die lamp set fire to the store, but it was soon extinguished. Tho store was well crowded with negroes, but was emptied in a twinkling nfter the first shot was fired. The cut on j digest’s hand bled pro i fusely, but was soon stopped by Dr. M. D. Lanier. Whisky was at tho bottom of the trouble, At Atlanta Wednesday an interesting and inqiortant session of the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia was held at tbe Kimball House. The report of the Commis sion on tlie School of Technology was read and received as information. The trustees and members of the commission spent some time in discussing the affairs of the new school, the various branches to be studied and the progress of the work. The Board of Trustees finally created the following chairs in the School of Technology: Mechan ical engineering, physics, freehand and mechanical drawing, architecture, geology und mineralogy, mathematics, Engli h.

The board of trustees there upon adjourned. It is understood that the commissioners will push the work on the buildings as rapidly as possible, and will fill the chairs in February or March next. Monroe News: Tho citizens of Monroe last Thursday night wore treated to n serenade with fire-crackers. Five hundred packs, more or loss, were popped. Some were set off on the streets, while it is claimed that others were turned loose on porches and in the yards of peacefully dis posed citizens. Mingled with the incessant crack of the crackers was the roar of dumb bulls (a brute created out of a paper box with a m wliiile head and a string), m king a racket that sounded and smelt of Christinas. Next day quite a number of young men and boys were summoned by the Marshal to appear before His Honor Mayor Edwards, but nobody had bought any fire-crackers; nobody had sold any; nobody had seen any, and only a few bad heard any. Nobody recog nized anybody else they had seen: those who hail popped the crackers had masks on and could not be recognized, et . Mayor Edwards subjected most of the witnesses to a searching examination, but it was ini|x>s sible to adduce sufficient evidence to con vict. It is understood that the packs were fired, and the ammunition procured in such a way that nobody could swear against anybody else. It is certain that a large number participated, and they didn’t make any half grown racket either. The great danger is fire, and such pranks may some time result very disastrously to the town.

Pensacola’s Growing Importance as a Shipping Port. From the SI. Louis Republican. Mr. Louis E. Thompson, of Pensacola, Fla., is at the Southern. He is hero on an important Florida enterprise, and says that within ten days he will be prepared to sjieak advisedly of the efforts his State is making toward realizing her advantages and opportunist. Iu speaking of Pensacola and its magnificent bay, ho said: “John Roach, the groat ship-builder, in speaking to an inmate friend once, remarked that if he were twenty years younger tie would move his shipyards to Pensacola bay, and 1 think it would have been a wise move. It is conceded by ail that this is the finest bay on our coast, with the jKissible exception of New York, and every material is supplied for ship building. The lumber coal and non from Tennessee and Alabama alone are sufficient ly ample to build all the ship; the world will require for the next five centuries; then the climate is exquisite. Iron plate for ships can be manufactured the year roui and without being interrupted for two months in the year by severe cold and frost, which makes it unmalleable at some other yards. Our bay has an entrance only one-quarter of a mile across its mouth, and at the lowest tide it never has less than twenty feet of water. The harbor is surrounded on three sides by land, and is a perfect haven of rest for all vessels. There is talk of an Euro ix-an syndicate budding n canal from about seven miles below New Orleans to Pensa c6la, following tbe eastern shores of the Gulf, running through Mississippi sound, Mobile bay, and reaching our town with comparatively little Vork for the length, w hich would be about 160 miles. If this should succeed it is desired to make Pensacola the outlet seaboard town for all mineral and agricultural products that wdl be exported by the Mississippi valley. There are a liumlior of French capitalists who are arranging to carry out other State projects which will greatly liencfitour State, but about which L cannot speak now. Pen sacola has now a population of 14,000, and tiiis is double what it was three years ago. The jieople are beginning to wake up to their advantages and money from the North and East is being invested amongst us. Real estate agents are multiplying and our future is indeed nopefuL This is an old Spanish town, and the pro gressive element of the new generation met with strong opposition, ahd for years the negroes amt Spanish had things their own way, but finally the progressive young Democrats succeeded in passing a law that forfeited the charter of all towns or cities which were in debt $200,000 or more, and they were placed under the control of the State. We were at the time more than this amount in debt, and to our great joy the Governor revoked our charter and placed the city in the hands of seven Com missioners, who were representative mon, and who elected a Mayor from their number. This accounts for cur new era of prosperity that is drawing upon us, and the rapid influx of population which has made us the second town in the State. The Democrats in our county are iu favor of ceding ail tho territory lying north of the Chattahoochee river in the State of Alabama as nature seems to have iutemled it. This would give us a repre sentative iu Congress that would be far more satisfactory than we have at present. Pensacola may prove to be another Bir mingham, or even greater progress may bo hers.” An Interesting Wedding. A wedding that attracted considerable at tention occurred at Crosby, Ala., on Dec. 15. The contracting parties wore Mr. John Crosby and Miss Belle Williams. The groom, a Georgian by nativity is the - popu JaV and enterprising manager of tho largo turpentine plant at Crosby, Ala.: and the bride the lovely and accomplished daughter of Capt.

Whether justly or not says the Aita C uli fornia, a very large element of public opinion is hostile to tho peripatetic canvas ser for sowing machines. In some way he is regarded ns an intolerable nuisance. And this sentiment is entertained regarding him despite tho fact that he is usually a very polite nnd affable person. Indeed his affa bility is the trait which the community hold in the greatest abhorrence. It is related as a veritable fact that there was one) a sew mgii a 'lllll6 agent canvassing Northern Cali fornia who could talk the k..ot? out of a pine tree. Some of his relatives aro engaged in business in San Francis! o. They are equally remarkable for their loquacious en terprise, One of these gentlemen presented himself at n stately residence on Bush street, intent upon disposing of one of the most recent novelties in sewing machine*. It was his twelfth appearance that week, and his smiling countenance and oily tongue had grown monotonous. So much so indeed that the coachman had instructions lo lie in wait for him nttgnted by his spotted dog. The chambermaid met the agent at the door with the information that no sewing ma chines were wanted lliut morning. Indeed, she remarked that there was a death in the family and the hous hold was convulsed with grief. It would be sinful to dis cuss so charming a novelty as his zewiug machine under such circumstances. “But my dear,” rejoined the enterprising agent, “this is the very time you should have one. You have no idea how useful a sewing lunching is at a funeral. This one cf mine is particularly adapted to making shrouds for high-toned corpses. Indeed, one of my customers told me the other day that she would rather be without a corpse in the house than one of my sewing ma chines. I assure you they are indispensable at funerals." “But my mistress says she does not want it.” “She evidently did not fully comprehend the capacity of the machine. Not a great while since a gentleman died in this city, and his wife, in her grief, carelessly threw a bolt of linen she had been examining in tbe sewing machine, and went up stairs to have her cry. When she returned, an hour or two afterward, that bolt of linen had been converted into one of the loveliest shrouds you ever saw. It was generally remarked at the funeral that the corpse was perfectly lovely in it. The wife was so charmed that she told me the next day that she really had not tho heart to regret lier husband’s death since ho looked so nice iu that beautiful shroud in his coffin.” This was evidently a facer to the maid? but she immediately rallied with tho re mark : “But it is not the husband who is dead here, it is the parrot.” “Lord!” exclaimed the now thorough ly excited agent. “You should see what this sewing machine can do for a dead par rot.” “Rut everything has been arranged al ready. And besides the mistress believes that you are the cause of the parrot’s death ” “Me! great heavens; it is impossible.” “Yes, indeed, the parrot was a great talker, and he chatted beautifully all day long. But when you came yesterday and described your machine to the mistress, and rattled off the list of its virtues and merits, the parrot gazed on you in astonishment. The more you talked the greater Ins amaze ment. At"last he gave a gasp and fell over in a lit. Ho never had the heart to raise up his beat! again.” The agent looked at the maid with mild triumph. He could appreciate this tribute to conversational ability. “Is not that mpngone yet?” cried the mis tress at this juncture from the head of the stairs. “No, muni, but he's going,” replied the maid. “Is the coachman ready'!” inquired the mistress. “Yes, mum.” “And the dog?” “Ready, mum.” “Then send tho man away.” The maid slammed the door in his face, and the agent heaved a sigh as he turned to go down the gravel walk. But at that mo ment aspotieddog darted around the corner of the house, and his angry growl electrified the feet of the agent. He knew the ways of dog < under such circumstancee. He had been in many situations sitnular to this. He turned and tumbled l.ke a fox. Occasion ally the dog would rend a piece of his trous ers, but the damage was slight. Finally, as he darted to cue side, the dog made a bold leap at the mail’s throat. Ho missed his ob jective point, and his savage teotb closed furiously on the man’s cheek. There was a cry of agony, but it was not from the man. The dog fell over, tooth ripped from his jaws, in closing upon the steel-clad cheek of the agent, he had been rendered fangless. The dog went into convulsions, but the agent carried off his cheek with not a single bruise upon it. ■Tis An 111 Wind That brings with it gusts of rain from the north east.
