The Canton Advance says R. T. West
brook has found ai Indian relic on his
place in that county. It is thus described:
“The curiosity in question is a fiat rook,
symmetrically and perfectly dressed, five
and a half inches iu diameter and three
inches thick, with the outer edges perfectly
rounded, resembling a large gold ring. On
either side a kind of basin or mortar is cut
two inches in diameter and one inch deep.
The whole work is perfectly done, and no
touch of the file, chisel, or other modern
tool, can improve its appearance. For what
purpose it was used or intended we have
not tho remotest idea, but evidently It must
have been valued very highly, as It required
much work to complete it, no doubt, and is
a work of high art."
Macon Evening News: A party of Macon
gentlemen returned last evening from
Andersonville and Americus, where they
had been to try end make a purchase of a
certain piece of property at Andersonville,
whereon is the celebrated Providence soring
which northern writers have described
vividly in writing the alleged history of
that famed prison. The fable is that while
the Yankee soldiers were confined in the
stockade there,during the late war, hundreds
of their number suffered and died for want
of puie water. Oae day, however, as a
number of them iay gasping for breath, a
bolu and beuutiful spring gushed from the
earth at their feet, which was named by
them “Providence Spring." Iu fact, there
never was anything of the kind. The prison
was located at Aniiersonville on account of
the healthfuluess of the place and the su
perabundance of pure, fresh water. A
beautiful limpid stream ran througn the
stockade in which the prisoners were con
fined, and from the sides of the wooded
hills within the inelosuro a half hundred
springs flowed down into the little creek
below.

William Hansell, alias Alexander Manly,
was tried and convicted of murder at the
fall term of the circuit court of Orange
county, 1889, for the killing of Seth Taylor,
deputy sheriff at Sanford, on June 4, 1889.
The evidenco against Hansell was over
whelming, and showed that while he was
confined in the jail at Sanford, charged
with larceny, Mr. Taylor went into tho Jail
to give Hansell his supper, shortly after
dark on that evening, and had unlocked
the door, when Taylor was shot, Hansell
escaping from the jail. In August Hanseil
was arrested, charged with the killing of
Taylor, tried and convicted without recom
mendation to mercy, which meant that he
should be hanged. During the trial Ilau
sell ciaimed that it was a case of
mistaken identity; that he was never in jail
at Sanford, and that he was at Tampa wuon
the killing occurred, lie, however, fall and
to introduce any witnesses to substantiate
his claims. J. Edward Alleu of Oriau io
was appointed by the court to defend Han
sell and had sent summons to Tampa f r
witnesses in Hansell’s behalf, but they wore
returned uuserved. Mr. Allen, bung con
vinced of Hansell’s innocence, exerted him
self in his behalf after the trial and began
correspondence with parties in Tampa, and
tho result of the investigation tended to sus
tain Hai.seH’s statement. Judge J. D.
Beggs, the state’s attorney, and Mr. Allen
consulted together about the now develop
ments in the case and concluded to
put the matter before the pardoning
board of the state. The board
ordered the examination of the Tampa wit
nesses at the state’s expense. Thev want to
Orlando and their evidence was takon, six
witnesses being examined, four white mid
two colored. All of them were positive
that the prisoner lived iu Tampa at the
time of the killing, aud upon being taken to
tbs jail, all of them, save one, identified
the prisoner os Alex Manly. This evidence
was forwarded to the pardoning board,
who made a careful examination of the
entire matter, and, on their recommenda
tion, the governor has just commuted the
prisoner's senteuce to life imprisonment.

difficult orders, there Is sharp demand for orders
of easy sizes and lengthy at shaded prices.

The stock market, even although to-day was
a half holiday, managed to maintain a large
volume of the business of the past week, and
while movements of prices were somewhat
irregular, there was a strong undertone which
before tbe close swept everything before it, and
further advances resulted, while many stocks
reached tht ir highest prices for the week. The
foundation of the bull movement relied on
earnings, which continued to increase some
over those of last yeai , and as an example the
earnings of dVhet-ling and Lake Erie tor the
second week in May were 35 per cent, higher
than those of t le corresponding week of last
year. Bulls also continue to fight shy of the
stocks of the warring roads cutting rates in tho
west. Tho market was unusually supplied with
rum rs for a short session, aud among them the
story that a deal favorable to Vil ard stocks Is
to be consummated next week, wtiion served as
a basis for a most marked advance ia Northern
Pacifies and Oregon Transcontinental,which be
came the features of the market after 11 o’clock.
Utliers reluted to Reading, and a talk of a
merger or agreement with other powerful com
panies, whica has teen successful in raisiug the
price of •ew England of late, was rife. It had
the effect of making Reading the most active
stock, its transactions exceeding those of any
full day of the week; while material gains were
made in its prices. The market started off
with slight advances,but there was some seliiug
of Reading and Grangers, apparently for for
eign account, and Chicago Gas and Sugar were
weak, and retarded further improvement, till
tba strength in Reading had been fully de
veloped. VUlards afterward joined in the up-
ward movement, and later the advancing
tendency extended to all of the list, and even it
was f. It throughout. The bank statement, 1
which had promised to be unfavorable, snowed |
a small increase in the surplus reserve, and j
helped to give the market a buoyancy toward j
the dose, which was active and strong and In j
most cases the best prices of the day. The sales
of listed stocks reached 259,938 shares; unlisted, j
4,258 shares. The following are the closing

The Sun's cotton review says: “Futures
opened a little halting, but the ‘corner’ idea got
hold of the market, and options for May, June
and July became quite buoyant. August re
sponded partially, rising to 12c, and winning a
large number of bets for bulls. Next crop was
weak and neglected, although crop accounts
are by no means first rate, and the weather to
day, though clear, was quite cool. Bulls are
quite sure July options will bring 12%c on a
bulge. Cotton on spot was fairly active for
homeconsumption, and prices advanced l-!6e.”

Chicago, May 17.—Trading in wheat was
again large to-day, especially during the early
part of the day, and prices were higher. July
delivery opened 2c higher, but the advance
brought free offerings, under which prices de
clined irregularly 1%0, then improved %c, eased
off %c, and the closing was %C higher than yes
terday. May delivers- closed %c lower than
yesterday, and June was unchanged. Corn was
fairly active and a little unsettled, but became
more quiet aod easier later. Operations wrre
local as the shower of influence that affected the
inarKet, which opened higuer and irregular with
wheat and cold weather, but later sold up under
free offerings. The market opened %@%o bet
ter than the close, bnt soon sold off %@%c,
ruled steady, and olosed %@%c lower than yes
terday. A good business was done in oats. The
opening was firmer and %@%o higher. The
strength proved only temporary, and prices
soon start is 1 downward, prices for May delivery
receding I%c and for Juno aad July l@l%c.
More deferred futures, although higher at the
start, sympathized *ith the rest of the market,
but only declined %c. The market closed steady
at almoet inside flgur -s. A weak feeling pre
vailed in pork and prices early declined 40@50c,
with a few scattering sales. Later the market
ruled steadier and prices rallied 15@3fc, and
closed quiet. Trading in lard is light and the
feeling easy. Prices ruled 2%®5c lower and
the market dosed easy at inride figures. A light
business was reported in short ribs and an

FOR GEORGIA FARMERS.
In Lowndes county the oat crop has been
cut short, but the outlook for other crop!
now is good.
Farmers in Decatur county complnin o)
cut worms in their cotton. Whole fieldi
have been almost devastated.
Though the oat crop of Dodge is considi
cred a failure, generally, there are som6
farmers who will harvest a good crop.
The frost and unusually cool weathei
seems to have done do damage ill Cnerokei
county, except to cotton freshly plowed.
James Bond of Hart county made lasi
year two heavy bales of cotton on one acr
of upland. He Is planting for three baiei
to the acre this year. He also made thret
one-horse wagon loads of corn last year at
seven rows ninety yards long.
Griffin Call: J. H. Klnyard of TowalgS
was in the Call office yesterday and related
his experience and progress in tho poultry
business. He Is just embarking in this
business, but proposes to make It a promt
nont feature on his farm. His plan is U
set principally clever, motherly hens, that
will not kill everything not belonging
strictly to her own brood, and by this man
ner he makes one hen perform the labor ol
probably a dozen. He sets his hens it
squads of a dozen or more, and as tin
chickens begin to hatch he oonceni
trates the broods with one hen, and tsrni
the others loose to provide for ansthei
family. By this means he has hens witt
from fifty to seventy-five chiokens, which
they C3n provide for as well as if they w era
cross mothers with three little chicks.
Quarters are necessary for them at night,
as the hen cannot brood them, Mr. Kinyard
proposes tn add an incubator by another
season, which will keep his motherly hem
supplied with ready-made, large-eizod
families on short notice, llis plans ara
good, and we doubt not but he will hav
success,
