A few nights ago a party in mask went to a house near Bruton station, occupied by three or four wanton women, and took two of the women out and applied to them a buggy trace pretty freely. It is reported that .Maud Brown, one who made her es cajie, has gone to Macon to put tho matter in the hands of the federal officers, claiming that she recognized the masked party. The house had become such a notorious nui saucu that the citizens decided to take the matter in hand and see if they could not suppress it. 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.

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.

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 Quotations: Ala class A, 2to 5.108% N OPa’ficlstmort 05% Ala-ciass 8,55... 110 N. Y.

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.” Galveston, May 17.—Cotton nominal; mid dling U%c; net receipt* 86 bales, gross 36; sales bales; stock 1,590 bales.

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, GSORCIIA POLITICS. James H. Felker of Hart county is a can didate for the legislature. S. A.
