He is now making his twen ty-fifth crop with him. Mr. Montgomery says the horse’s teeth have worn so smooth that he can’t grind his food and his wife cooks bread lor him. He is doing well and is very fond of bread that has no crust on it. Mr. Montgomery says he would not take any amount of money for him, and in tends, if ho is the 1 mgest liver, to bury him if he is able to dig the grave when he dies. AVatkinsville Enterprise: Little Bob Ash ford had a lonely experience on Monday night last. His father thinking ho was at home in bed closed his store as usual about 9 o’clock and went home, leaving little Bob asleep on one of the counters in the store. Bob tells us that he remained unconscious of his imprisonment until he rolled off of the counter and fell on the floor. He then realized his solitary confinement, and with bravery that would have done credit to one of more mature years he seized a yard stick to protect him from the rats. He was found with the stick in his hand two hours later when his father, missing bun at home, returned to the store and realeased him. T. J. Carling and W. F. Price of Macon have just returned from Mineral Hill, in Fannin county, where they bean in specting the marble beds recently purchased by the Macon syndicate, of which the>e gentlemen are members. It hardly ex presses it to say that they are enthusiastic over their prospects. Nor is the marble the only valuable substance found. Thero is an unlimited quantity of talc that is yearly becoming more and more valuable and coming in greater demand. Besides this thero is earth paint both red and yellow in inexhaustible quantities. Their purchase covers a very valuable tract which extends for ono and a half miles in one direction by an average width of 450 feet. In several nlaces they drilled 90 feet deep without getting through the marble. Atlanta Journal: A right lively con troversy is going on in a quiet way between Dr. Joseph Jacobs and Dr. Walter Taylor. Dr. Jacobs secured from Anthouy Com stock, the New York anti-obscene literature man, a letter setting forth that a lot of Dr. Taylor’s advertising matter had been sup pressed as indecent. That letter was litho graphed and sent to a number of physicians. Dr. Taylor replied with a circular to tne doctors stating that he had never seen the objectionable matter, had ordered it sup pressed by the publishers when he heard of it, and that he would not use matter that would offend good taste, much less violate the law. He also -‘waded into” Dr. Jacobs, aid called up the old case against Dr. Jacobs rnaile by Dr. Schuman. Dr. Jacobs prints a circular defending himself, and showing that he was acquitted of the charges made by Dr. Schuman. He says some salty things about Dr. Taylor, and that gentleman’s next move will be watched for with interest. The contro versy is being carried on through circulars sent in the mails. The Phillips Melon company, at Adams park, twenty miles below Macon, on the East Tennessee railroad, has 1,000 acres in watermelons, and it is estimated that they will ship 400 carloads of them. They have 200 carloads sold already In Boston, and only select fruit wil be shipped. This syn dicate has gone in to make money and they propose to sell the best, melons for the best price. They have created a specific demand tor their production, and hulf the crop is sold before it is ripe. This is a now feature of the melon business that may have astonishing developments. J. L. Hand of Pelham, S. C., has tried the same plan, and by advertising choice varieties only and shipping only the best melons of those varieties to particular markets where he has advertised with the retail trade for several years, he has created a specific demand which gives him a band some profit. If the melon growers oould sell them crop ahead they would soon grow rich. As it is they average a profit. Mr. Anderson, on the East Tennessee road, who has fifty acres in melons this year, says he will increase it to 300 next year if tae" crop pays as well as cotton. Athens Manner-Watchman: Several weeks ago a convict who had served out a sentence in Col. Smith’s chain-gang stole a cow from Bob Patterson of Madison county, and then sold the animal to John H. Smith, an Athens butcher. Mr. Patter son traced the cow, and Mr. Smith settled with him. A warrant was taken out against the thief and placed in the hands of one of the best and most careful bailiffs of Oglethorpe county for service. The thief was found near Beaverdam church, and when the officer attempted to make the arrest he met with a determined resistance, and in self-defense lie fired upon the negro with a pistol, the ball taking effect in his body. After this wound was inflicted the negro managed to escaoe in the darkness and was carried off and concealed by some of bis black friends. About two weeks after the shooting the wounded negro died, and it was reported that it was from the pistol shot inflicted by the bailiff. An investigation, however, found this to l e false, as his death w,.s caused from kidney disease. The bailiff is said to be entirely justifiable in hisconduct, as the shooting was done in self-defeuse and in the discharge of his duty as an officer. Rome Tribune: F. W. Jewell, of the Armstrong, has leased the Caldwell house of Birmingnam. The trade was closed in Birmingham Thursday, and he is now in possession of the finest hotel south of Wash ington city, with the exception of the Ponce de Leon of St. Augustine, Fla. To show the wide reputation Mr. Jewell has attained as a successful total man. be obtained this lease for $3,000 lees than any other bidder. He was offered $5,000 for bis lease in less than twenty minutes. This magnificent hotel was built at a cost of $3J0,000. It is built of the finest marble and pressed brick, six stories high, with 150 rooms. He has already purchased his furniture of Nelson. Matter & Cos., of Grand Rapids, Mich., at a cost of $40,000. To show the quality of this furniture, the office chairs cost $35 apiece. Each one of the rooms will have folding beds with all the modern improvements. The dining room is in the shape of a cathedral and there is not a prettier hall in the United States. The office and barroom have mar ble floors and marble waintscoating, and finished in black walnut. The first grand stairway is of solid white marble, and all the others clean to the roof are solid iron. A hundred and ninety thousand tin cans— almost enough to give every dog in Georgia the can-can dance. This is the supply at tho Dalton cannery, and these 190,000 cans will HU 7,916 two dozen cases, or about nine teen carloads of fruit. There is another cannery at Griffin, and the t usiness has gotten a good foothold in Georgia. Well it may have. Think of the crops it has to preserve. The pear crop of Southern Georgia promises to equal the orange crop of Florida. C. D. Owens, the traffic man ager of the Savannah, Florida and Western railway, says the people along his line tell him he wiil not be able to furnish transp .rtation when their trees grow up and come into bearing. J. 8. Jenkins, a fruit grower, who has large orchards at Cuthbert, says it will take a thousand cars to move the LeConte perr crop seven years from now. “Oranges hardly surpass the pear crop,” said he. “Think of getting thirty-seven bushels from one tree. That has been done often. And peaches!” he c mtinued with an enthusiasm that almost lifted him from the ground. “Peachesl” he cried as he danced up and down. “Why, the orange crop of Florida isn’t a circumstance to the Georgia poach crop of the future. 1 believe tho finest peaches on earth are grown in Georgia. There is no telling the extent to which the industry will develop if tho railroads foster it wi:h quick transportation.” Rising to the full dignity of legal investi gation, a casir has just been tried at Codar town strikingly peculiar for the remarkable ooolne-s of the litigants. Bentford of Car roll and Morris of Polk county, brothers in-law, disagreed in a settlement of a land and saw mill transaction between them. Bentford claiming Morris was indebted to him; Mon is denying such indebtedness. They Could not remember or understand their past transactions alike, so Bentford sued Morris. When the case came on for trial, Bentford came up from Carroll to Cedartown the evening previous and spent the night with Morris, whore Bentford, Jr., also a witness against Morris, was board ing. All three passed the evening pleas antly together, discussing other topics, leaving the trouble of reconciling their differences for the court, and after a good night’s rest and refreshing breakfast under Morris’ roof, all came up to tho court next morning for the contest. Bentford, Jr., and senior sworn for the plaintiff gave in their evi dence clearly, positively, but calmly. Then came Morris and his witness testifying in the same manner, but crossing at right angles the statements of plaintiff and his son. Each party seemed to contend con scientiously and strongly for his side of the case, and yet without the least excitement or feeling. The court rendered a decision which both sides abided in silence. Bent ford bidding adieu to Morris,returned home, while Bentford, Jr., went back to Morris', bis boarding house. The animus of these parties does not find a parallel once in a thousand cases, and yet it is what should control in every honest logal investigation. Cullen Everage of Twiggs county is un der arrest for bigamy. Cullen Everage lived for a number of years in Macon anti Bibb county. In August, 1886, he was mar ried in the Methodist church in East Macon to Mrs. John Donald. They lived not very happily together until December, 1888, when Everago left her and went to Twiggs, his native county. She was a little suspicious of him, and has kept a sort of watch over him. A fow months ago he married again in Twiggs county a Mrs. Polly Johnson. For this latter over indulgence he is now under arrest. Mrs. Everage has had a varied matrimonial experience. She was born in North Carolina, and says she never had a shoe on her foot until she was grown. Her maiden name was Sarah Hoe, and at 13 years of age slio was married to “a tooth dentist” named James Thompson. This was in |Talbot county, where they had moved from North Carolina. After the death of Thompson she married Joe Clark, near Howard Station, in Terrell county, and shortly afterward moved to Macon. Clark died and she married William T. Hobbs, in Macon, and when he died sha married Whitfield Abernathy,then John Donald, who was also a bigamist, and finally and sixthly Cullen Everage. Sue is about 55 years old, and says that the reason she wits always so popular was not because she was pretty, but becai.se they knew sho was smart and would work and make a living. She is a carpet maker and says that while it is mor tifying to have her husband act so, she is thoroughly independent of him, and she especially wants him to know that she has not suffered for anything since his desertion of her, but has been able to get work enough to support herself very comfortably. FLORIDA. The pear crop of Gadsden county is fine. Mr. Vogt of Quincy, has been cutting tobacco since last week. The plumb crop has been a good one in Gadsden county this season. A young negro charged with assault with intent to commit rape was jailed at Quincy last Thursday. The first watermelons for the season were on the streets of St. Augustine, Friday, for sale at the modest price of $1 apiece. The enrollment of taxable property in Gainesville for tho year 1889 wiil exceed that for the year 1888 by about $100,050. The presidents and engineers of the North Beach railroad will be in St Augustine to day to sign a final agreement with the con tractors who n ill begin grading at once. It is reported that a colored child died on the excursion train from Ocala to Micauopy Junction on Wednesday from overheat, caused by the crowded condition of the car. Manning is to have a canning factory. It is not decided whether it will start with $5,000 or SIO,OOO capital, and it is likely the former, with the privilege of increasing it to $20,000. Tho foundation for the largo commodious brick storehouse of Col. G. M. Whetstone at Fort White is being laid and work will be pushed by A, S. Whittstock until it is completed. The colored people at the “Purchase,” eight miles south of Quincy, bought through one of Quincy’s merchants a large church bell last week. This is the first bell brought to Gadsden county since the war. Mrs. James Lanier was in Lakeland last week selling honey. About two years ago James La ,ier, Sr., cut down two bee trees, and obtained bees for sixteen hives. From those 200 pounds of honey have been sold this year. Burson & Mcßae commenced work last Monday on the Methodist churchjnt Lake land, and will push it on to completion. They expect to get done in six or eight weeks. The size of the building will be 32x55 feet. In the contest between Sunday school choirs at Micanopv Junction on Wednes lay, Gainesville, Palaika and Ocala being repre sented, Gainesville came out first, receiving $lO in cash and 100 Bibles. Hawthorn was second, receiving $5 and 50 Bibles. Edgar Nortbcutt, a workman on bridge gang No. 2, last Saturday fell from the railroad bridge across the river at Pember ton Ferry, a distance of 25 or 30 feet, onto a pile of iron hoops and bolts. He was badly bruised and cut and had a rib or two broken, but it is hoped that he will soon recover from his injuries. O. S. Maltby, whose arm was broken by the faking of the scaffold at the Bum by THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1889. residence at Orlando a short time since, is now rapidly recovering, and Dr. Peak, his attending physician, has decided that am putation is not necessary. Immediately after the accident it was thought that be would have to lose the arm. The copartnership heretofore existing be tween Dolpli Edwards and F. W. Street, in the publication of the Argus-Alliance and Saurord Daily Mascotte, ar.d general job printing, has been disotved by mutual con sent, F. W. Street retiring. The business will be continued by Dolph Edwards, who will pay all debts and try to collect all the accounts. Hon. E. Owens of Quincy has sent a pe tition to the pardoning board asking for a commutation of sentence upon a colored man by the name of Louis Williams, who was convicted of robbery five years ago upon the evidence of two young boys, Archie and Grant The petition was signed by a number of white citizens, and no doubt the board will act favorably upon it. The Leesburger tells of a iigbtning rod man in Leesburg who held a note fCr S7O against a negro woman. He showed her the note ana she snatched it away and de -troyed it. He gave her a drubbing, when she had him brought bef ire a magistrate, who fined him sls for assult and battery. So the poor f How is out SBS, and his only offset is the thrashing he administered to the offender. The city tax books of Orlando closed Saturday, and preparations will imme diately be commenced for the advertising of property on which taxes are unpaid. City Tax Collector Puckett says that out of a total assessment of $20,645 10, there have been collected up to date $14,761 07, leaving the amount of the delinquent list but $5,884 03. This delinquency the collec tor thinks will be reduced $2,000 before sale day (Aug. 1) arrives, thus leaving but about $3,000 to be collected by the sale of property. E. W. Paxson, who has for four years past had charge of what is known as the Christie grove, containing eighty acres, on the west side of Levy lake, says about one-fourth of that grove, which was heavily fertilized with muck, is entirely free from the Cali fornia spider, while trees not having be-n thus fertiliz and are alive with the pest. He says the mucked trees present a beautiful appearance and are in a good, healthy con dition, while those without muck are either standing still or going back. Mr. Paxson feels convi need that by a liberal use of muck all groves can be freed of the California spider and other insects. At St. Augustine Friday Officer George Durfee of the police force attempted suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. Mr. Durfee was found by Messrs. Leonardy and Greeno lying on a sofa at his home, on Marine street, w ith a razor in his hand and a deep gash in his throat. He was bleeding profusely. Assistance was called, and the wound was dressed and his life saved by prompt measures. Officer Durfee was ex pecting to be removed from office under the now administration, and feeling despondent, he drank to excess, and his club and badge wore taken by Chief of Police Biddlecome, who told him he was in no condition to go on duty, and advised him to go hom j and taka a rest. Pensacola News: A gentleman the other day proposed to a backer of Spider to race the latter with Chestnut Bell, best two in three, mile heats, for from $250 to SI,OOO. Spider’s backer stated his willingness to have the go for the $250, and offered to post a forfeit right then of SIOO. The other gentleman, who was not acting for himself, asked for a little time in which to consult Chestnut Beil’s backer, which was grace fully allowed. The gentleman representing Chestnut Bell’s owner informed a reporter of the News yesterday that he would hear definitely on the proposition in a day or two. Local sports want to know what kind of an animal Chestnut Bell is, and the name of his owner. Bo|h ore strangers. Sugar Bill and Alexander Zandlers two negro men, while at work upon the dam of John T. Howard’s Little River mill near Quincy, came very near losing their lives on Tuesday evening last by several tons of dirt falling upon them. They were under mining the side of the bank, when, all of a spdden they were covered with sand and ciay. They had been cautioned by a son of Mr. Howard only a few minutes before. Fortunately there were hands enough to extricate them both in a few niinutes. Sugar Bill had his hip dislocatecl**hnd sus tained internal injuries from being thrown against a wheelbarrow. Zandlers was more fortunate, and outside of a little smothering and a good scare, he was all right. Ocala Free Press: On last Saturday morning early twelve pistol shots rang out sharp and clear upon the morning air, dis turbing the slumbers of many of the deni zens of our city. Nine of these shots were fired by the authorities of law, while three were fired by a refugee from its iron grasp. A mau by the name of Jenkins, who has been a disturber of the peace and morals of tne city for some time, was duly arrested by the sheriff under a telegraphic dispatch from the authorities of Georgia, commanding his arrest and safe custody until the requisition from Gov. Gordon should arrive. Soon after the arrest the sheriff walked out of the saloon kept by Jenkins at the Florida Southern depot, leaving the latter in charge of a deputy, and immediately Jenkins made his escape. Jenkins is charged with several very grave offenses in Georgia, so we are informed by the sheriff. FOR NERVOUS EXHAUSTION Use Horaford’a Acid Phosphate. Dr. H. C.
