ia 1871 Clayton county had a fair, con
nected with which was a baby show with a
prize of $5 in gold for the finest baby.
There were ex hibited on that occasion a pair
of red-headed twin boy babies about 1 year
old. They were the finest babies on exhibi
tion, and were so much alike the judge* got
them mixed, and in order to get out of their
difficulty had to divide thei-'i between them.
The good mother took charge of the money
and loaned it to the father at 7 per ciut.,
requiring him to settle up at the oud of
every year. The money iias been thus
loaned every year. The twin boys are now
l'.l years old, and for eighteen years they
havo each had $2 50 ou intorost at 7 per

At Darien Monday James O’Brien, Jr.,
came m I rum the Beige anil was caught in
the rain, lieing pretty well soaked w hen he
arrived at his livery stable. He at once
proceeded to his room for the purpose of
changing his clothing. After selectiug all
necessary articles, with tho exception of a
pair of socks, he pulled open the bottom
drawer of the bureau, expecting to find
them there, but to his great astonishment
upon opening n box in which he usually
kept his ties, he found coilel therein asuake
about twenty-six inches long. Jim, iu open
ing the box, touched the snake with his hand,
and was so frightened that he fell back

movable, and with three backward seiner
saults was safely through two doors ami
out of harm’s way. Oae of the hired men
killed the snake.
Green Howell is a negro who owns a
plantation aud is well-to-do in life, and
lives in the lower part of Ireland district,
Burke county, near the home of Capt. A. L,
Archer. He is highly respected by all who
know him, both white and colored. Green
is 52 years old, and once he was as black as
any of the fif eeutb amendments, and now
he is nearly white all over. Shortly after
the close of the late war two small white
spots, about the size of a nickel, appeared
ou his wrist about two inches apart, and
they remained for a short time and disap
peared, and nothing more was thought of it
till 1884, when they returned in the same
place aud have been spreading since that
time, and now he is spotted all over, aud in
a few years he will lie white all over. He
does not suffer any paiu from the sp its, and
ho says the only mionvenience he experi
ences is from the sun, and it causes them to
blister.
The late John H. Newton of Athens bore
tho distinction of owning more wild land
than any other mail iu Georgia. During
the late war, a largo tract of land which
he had purchased in lowa was allowed to
reraaiu with taxes unpaid for some length
of time. Mr. Newton, on looking over his
landed estate after the war—for ’tis said
that even he was scarcely able to keep up
with all the property of this Kind he owned
—found that the taxes had been allowed to
run on for some years, and, supposing that
tho land had been confiscated for taxes, he
gave it up for lost. Wlmt was bis surprise,
however, to reoeive a letter from the land
agent in the west toon after, stating that he
had kept up with the taxes o i tiie property,
and that the land was at Mr. Newton’s dis-
Tiosal, upon tho payment of the back taxes.
Such honesty and confidence in business
transactions is very rare, and the incident
was often alluded to by Mr. Newton during
his lifetime.
A neat-looking Philadelphian was locked
up at the city prison at Macon Sunday,
who hails by tho name of J. J. Scinlau,
and who is an expert harmonica player.
Scanlan’s trouble came about Saturday
tight, although his arrest did not follow
until Sunday'. While playing au harmonica,
in company with a pal on Plum street at a
late hour Saturday night for a little crowd
of farmers, he succeeded in picking a gold
pin from the scarf of Farmer Avnnt, who
was an interested listener. Scanlau had
stepped his music, and, waking up, em
braced the farmer, at the same time
removing tho pin. Avant felt the
man’s hand on his breast, and putting
his hand to his scarf, detected his loss.
“You have stolen my pin,” cried the
farmer, catching hold of Scanlau. The lat
ter smiled and politely handed back tue
article, saying: “Oh, it was only in fun. I
would not have taken it, you know.” An
other spectator felt for his scarf-pin. It,
too, was gone, and Seanlan was once more
called upon to disgorge. To the astonish
ment of all, he handed back the second scarf
pin, and then taking his harmonica left the
crowd. Avant was amused at the boldne -s
of the act, aud immediately reported the
matter to the officers, with the result that
yesterday morning Officers Smith aud Mc-
Dermond gathered the man and lodged him
in the city prison.
Neal Belding was killed by M. T. Whit
lock ou April 2ii last in C. P. Johnson’s
saloon at Atlanta. At tho time of the crime
both Bolding and Whitlock were under the
influence of liquor, and Mrs. Jessie Balding,
the wife of the slain naan, bases u suit for
damagas that was filed Monday on that
ground. She charges that O. P. Johnson,
the proprietor of tho saloon, sold liquor 1 1
Whitlock while under its influence, and
that he and his clerk failed to interfere or
avert the trouble after the two men had
threatened each otaer. The plaintiff says
that 6. P. Johnson well knew the feeliug
between her husband a: and Whitlock, it hav
ing originated in his saloon in the forenoon,
after they had spent considerable
money at bis bar, and after both
were more or less intoxicated. It is
claimed that it was the duty of the pre
pr.etor to protect his customer, but that
said G. P. Johnson failed to do so, aud was
partieeps criminis, both injthat and in fur
nishing liquor to tue man who did the kill
ing while he was iu a state of intoxication.
Mrs. Belding places her damage at $20,000,
aud makes C. P. Johnson and M. T. Whit
lock both parties to the suit. While this is
pro; ably the first caso of the kind in the
Georgia courts where a saloon-kee ier is
held responsible for the life ot a person
killed ou hisjpremises, it is uot without pre
cedent. Iu Pennsylvania, recently, a sim
ilar case was tried, and a verdict rendered
in favor of the plaintiff.
There is within seven miles of Whigham
one of the most pieturesqua spots in Georgia,
Lime Sink falls, wnere a large bold stream
of pure freestone water, rising from a
never failing spring, comes coursing its
way through high, pleasant pine hills until
it reaches Whigham. where, alter running
for 100 yards over a bed of solid rock, it
falls into a recess hew i out of the rock, and
which is perhaps 20 feet long liy 5 or 0 feet
in depth, entering a large iron pipe, through
which the greatest volume of the water
shoots over a precipice of solid rock iu’o
tho basin below, ih'e depth of the htsiu
being estimated at 100 feet below the sur
rounding hills. The water here disapiiears
under the rock, and, although about 100
gall ns per miuute rushes over tue falis, vet
the whole of it disappears under the huge
rdek, whose feru-clad sides proseut a sub
lime spectacle. In this rock a cavern, or
j assagoway, large enough for men to go
through conveniently, reaches for a consul
erable distance, at the outer end of which
is a beautiful stream of water, almost like
a river, that can be seen at that great
depth. The effect of the falling waters is
wonderfully pleasant. When it is too warm
to bo comfortable above, there is a pleasant,
cool breeze at the bottom of the basin. The
effect of this breeze has a bracing tendency
that makes one feel good all day. Mr. Mol
ler of Thomasviile has recently photo
graphed the falls for R. A. Connell,who lias
those pictures, which are fine Works of art.
Mr. Connell has a theory that this would be
a magnificent site for the erection of a
large 200 or 300-rooui hotel.

pose. One of these was that the fruit ex
change come over into the alliauce, but
that it s! ill preserve its distinct aud separate
