The mouey belonged to her sons, who were making preparation to en gage in a mercantile business. George Foster of Cartersville was way-' laid and dealt a terrible blow on the bead, at Adairsville, a few days ago. He is in clined to think that it was done by a party ■who was on the lookout for someone else, and a mistake was made in the man. A colored man was shot through the bead on Saturday night at Peterson's still, in Montgomery county, by another negro. The ball entered in the forehead and came out at the back of his head. The negro de clines to die for a little thing like that, and at last accounts was up drinking soup. ’Squire Chambers of Rome, In answer to • question last week, said: "I came to Rome in 1833.

The lot on which the Buena Vista houaa is located sold for $612, and the lot just aero s, owned by the Wood estate, brought S6OO. Fifteen years ago a prominent mercantile house in Southwest Georgia failed, owing thousands of dollars to merchants and others in Macon. Year after year has rolled by, and ihe leading member of the firm gradually laid up a snug sum, until finally he saw an opportunity of goi .g into the fruit-raising business. That was five years ago. Last week he visited Maoon. and, entering the office of a house which had lost $1,200 by his failure, called nut the proprietor anil paid the amount in full. There is a story in circulation at Augusta to the effect that a youn< colored w. man has been crazed because of unrequited love. She has formed an overpowering attach ment for the pastor of her church, who is already engaged to another member of his flock.

Smith, the big farmer of Oglethorpe county, commenced business after the war as a peddler, aud carried his goods in a pack on his back.

Commencing with a small capital the association hat doubled its stock several times, until now it works on a capital of several hundred thousand dollars. The house of Jeff Cook, who lives about five miles from Covington, was entered by three burglars Friday night, but they were discovered in time to prevent them from stealing anything. They forced an entrance by breaking open the hall door, and the noise thereby made aroused a young man who was spending the night with Mr. Cook. He at once arose and met them in the hall, where bo dealt one of them a severe blow with a chair. The stricken burglar cried out under the pain of the blow and fled, and his com) anions soon joined him in his flight, as the entire household had by this time been aroused. John Diedrioh and John Young are two very old citizens of Lee countv, the former ieing 80 years old and the latter 79. They camo to America from Germany just fiftv three years ago. They lauded in New Yo k, and after working awhile in other of the large cities they turned southward and drifted down to MacOn, where thoy remained about ten years. They removed from Macon to Lee county, and have beeu living there about thirty-five years. These old gentl ien are cousins, and are much at tached to each otner, having been together all their lives. Both have gojd farms and sre well thought of. For some time past a man calling himself a machinist named J. G. Williams lias beeu doing little jobs ab ut the mills at Adel, and has been boarding nt the Adel bouse. He roomed with O. F. Goodwin and E. D. Hall, depot agent ui.d toll grapu operator. On Monday night, after Mr. Hall had gone to sleep, ana before Mr. Goodwin had quit his work at the mill, Williams e tored the sleeping ro in, took a gold watch chain of Mr. Goodwin’s, aud relieved Mr. Hall of his watch and the keys belonging to the depot building, entered the telegraph and ticket office, and took therefrom about f 100. He has not beeu heard of since. J. B. Dunn of W rth county is iu posses sion of a B.blo which was owned by bis grandfat .er in Ireland, and wuich he brought over to this country whan be (bis grandfather) came to this oounti v prior to the revolutionary war. His grandfat er was an old revolutionary soldier, and f ught throughout the war. He has also the powder born and gourd which he carried through t e war.

Thi chair Mr. Dnnn has with h m, and it bears the marks of well preserved oid age. John Shinhnlser, of the firm of Shin holser & Cos. of Macon, had a narrow escape from a tragic death late Friday night, at his store on Cherry street. Having occa sion to leave the store, the young man reached in a case <m tne wall for his hat and handkerchief. His bat he placed on his head, but when he jerked the handkerchief | out from the case a revolver came with it, and before the young man could realize what it was. it bad fallen on the floor. As it struck the floor the hammer of the re volver was sprung back and the weapon fired. With a loud noise it passed upward aiul through Mr. Sbinholser’s hat, missing his temple scarcely an inch, knocking back his straw hat on his head and fairly singeing his forehead as it passed. An Albany housekeeper bought at one of the stores a large cabbage. She cut one half of it, which she served up to her family, keeping the other half until the next day, when she commenced to cut it up finely, as is her habit. Comfortably coiled UP in the solid half of the vegetable, was a pled snake, which immedia el v ran out as its snug winter quarters were encroached upon, and plunged into the pan of water into which she was cutting the cabbage. It emerged from this a.id attempted to escape across the water shelf. The lady cut it in two, when the head bit viciously at the knife, continuing to attack it uut 1 it expired A lady at Smithville had a similar experience some time since, finding a snake in a cabbage head. Capt. Frank S. Johnson, president of the Macon and Birmingham railroad, has a curiosity in the shape of an account book which was used by the firm of Polk & Bro. of Clinto i in the years 1820-'2l, noarly seventy years ago, and which, though yellow with age, is in good condition, the figures and names being perfectly legible. Calico in those days was a luxu y, and every yard that went out of the Polk estab lishment brought its owners just 50 cents. Homesp in sold for 25 cents a yard, jute bagging i>2%, bandana handkerchiefs $1.25 each, loaf sugar 33% cents per pound, common sugar 20 cents, a id nails 15 ceuts. But other articles sold for less tnan they do now. Cigars, good o es at that, so any'old ti ner will tell you. were sold for 25 cents a dozen. Gin brought 31% cents per quart, particular attention being paid to keep strict account of the fractions of a cent. Tenoille Enterprise: *A nogro man living on Dr. T. M. Harris' place, near Irwin’s Cross Roads, in this county, whose nauie we failed to learn, killed himself last Saturday by blowing his head off with u shotgun. He had been having some trouble with his wife, it seems, and had repeatedly told her that he would kill himself if she did not try to make home life more pleasant. On Saturday he loailed bis gun with buckshot, aud calling to his wife, who was some distance away from biin. said: “If you want to speak to me before 1 die vou had better come here, for lam going to kill myself.” Tne woman paid no attention to his threat qnd pro ceeded with her work. The man put the muzzle of the gun into his mouth, and, pressing the trigger, fired, the entire con tents entering aud almost tearing his head from his shoulders. Death was in stantaneous. FLORIDA.

Pensacola News: On Nov. 7, 1814, Gan. Andrew Jackson, with the American army, entered Pensacola, when the British fleet in the harbor destroyed Fort San Carlos (at Barrancas), and another fort on Santa ltosa island. Pe isacola has not arranged for any celebration of that event, but in 1890 there will doubtless be a celebration of (he 20<)th anniversary of the permanent settlement of the city, which occurred ia 1096. The first settlement i.f Pensacola, an unsuccessful oue, was effected in 1538 by Diego de Maldmado, one of Ferdinand tie Soto’s captains. In 1558 another temporary settlement was made, his time by Don Tristan de Luna. The permanent lodgment of settlers was by Don Andre d’Arriola, in 1696. as related. All the souvenir premiums to be given away 1 1 ticket holders for the rpening of the Sub-Tropical Exposition at Jacksonville on Jau. 9 have been labeled, aud are oh ex hibition at various places of business throughout Jacksonville. The first premium —and the one which everyb.idy hopes to capture—the sl,ooo check, needs also some tangible illustration of its genuineness. So President Dillon took Lou Brennan into camp yesterday and directed him to get up the most artistic hand-drawn check for SI,OOO which his inge uity can devise. When ffuished it will be properly signed, with a blank place left for the name of the lucky ticket holder, and then be put ou ex hibition tu one of the bank windows under glass. It will doubtless prove -ucha tempt ing sight that nobody ca.i ro.ist the tempta tion to invest sl, or even $5 or $lO in it. It will be turned out to the fortunate i ivestor on the night of Jan. 9. QHIOBGIA’3 ALLIANCES. Notes From Meeting Room and Field of Interest to Farmers. The Rev. Mr. Beck, the Georgia alliance lecturer, spoke in Oglethorpe Wednesday to a large crowd of alliance men. The Dougherty County Alliance held a meeting at Albany Saturday. The busi ness tra isac.ed was of a private nature. The Spalding county farm has sold $550 worth of cotton already this season,and the crop is not near picked yet. It will prooa bly amount to $3,500 when it is all gath ered. At Griffin expressions of satisfaction are heard am mg gr eery dealers on all sides regardii g the large proportion of farmers who are paying up old scores, and th > opinion seems to bo that nearly all of them will get out of debt this season. Col. L. F. Humber of C ilumbus pur chased the McDougald plantation, in Cuat ta Kioohee couutv. The place contained 2,000 acres, and sold for $16,500 cash. Col. Humber says he can make more money farming than in any other business. Last year he cleared SH,OOO on his farm in Stew art, and tuis year he expect* to realize a profit of #IO,OOO ou the same place. He ex pects to make money out of his uew invest ment. Dr. L B. Clifton, the Macon entomologist, has evolved anew idea in the way of ex termina ion of the cotton planters’ pest, the caterpillar. He says: “It is nothing more nor less than the raising of millions of red ants. Caterpillars are tnoro desi motive in wet than In dry weather, and this is due to the fact that they are then protected from the attacks of the little red ant. There are many other species of ants and a large number of other insects, birds, and even animals, that destroy more or less of these insects, but the little red ant is the friend of the planter. It womd be an ex cellent plan to reurve, be weon every five or six rows of cotton, a laud especially for the homes of the auts. Throw nis land up into u high ridge and not dis urb it witli the plow during the season. I iwiieve the numbers of the ants could be increased ten fold by tins arrangement.” Phillips' Digestible Coco* Is a valuable substitute for tea or coffee, lt nourishes, whils they only stimulate.
