The latest discovervat Hillman is a spring
which cures any kind of nausea, and most
all kinds of sickness in the middle regions
of the human body. Its cures are pro
nounced immediate and remarkable. AU
that a nauseated patient has to do is to
drink a small glassful of this spring water
and the sickness disappears almost instantly,
as if by magic. Several cures of this
nature are reported, and the spring is
creating as big a furore as the eiootrio
shaft several years ago, and is calling new
attention to that wonderful neighborhood.
The new spring is located near the electric
well, and a company is already negotiating
for the property and to market the water.
If its magical properties can be transported
it wUI sell in all directions. A hotel is also
projected, and several well-known Augusta
citizens and capitalists are interested in the
investigation aud development of this won
derful spring.
Valdosta Times: For some time the horse
raoe advertised for last Monday has been
the talk of the town. Several hundred
dollars had been put up on a race to be run

county, and Mr. Rlchburg’s horse, of Val
dosta. Squealer, it will be remembered,
was run here two years ago against Mr.
Terry’s gray, and the Brooks county boys,
it was said, carried off about SI,OOO on the
result. Squealer is a race horse with a record,
and odds were offered last Monday with
comparatively few takers, but we are told
that nearly or quite $2,000 changed hands
when the raoe was run to a finish. Horse
jockeys from Tatuall county, in this state,
and from Lake City, in Florida, and num
bers of people from all quarters of the com
pass were on hand to see the contest. A
thousand people or more were on the
grounds. The horse rau 450 yards, and
Richburg’s horse ran out ahead about
twenty feet and was declared the winner.
The result was a surprise to a good many
people, an 4 it was openly charged that it
was a “jockey” race.

missed the charge. Mr. Jarboe claims that
he is the victim of a malicious prosecution,
and promises to make it warm for his
enemies.
Jasper News: The Weekly Advertiser,
with McMillan as editor, was the first paper
published in Lake City, or Alligator, as it

Independent Rress, by James N. Bowen,
and the Eastern Herald, by H. G. Town
send. The latter (>aper suspended in 1832
and its publisher went off in tho war.

out with a four- barreled derringer, and tho
paper passed into the bands of W. H.
Christy, who now lives in Jacksonville.

City.the entire body of which is as level us
a table. The company proposes to erect
floodgates in their canal about a mile
below the lako, so as to be able to sulv
irrigate, which will insure a crop each
season. The object of this company is to
rnako an immenso sugar farm and to manu

necessarily bring the canal into use trans
porting it to the lake. Fertilizer factories

materially to the wealth of our county. A
rioe crop is planted the first year on this

The stock market to-day. outskle of trusts
and one or two specialties, was an extremely
limited one, and dealings and Anal changes for
the most part were without significance The
position at prevent is to await action on the sil
ver bill, aud trading to-day was confined almost
exclusively to room traders, who were inclined
to hammer stocks iu the early dealings in ex
pectation that the bauk statement would show
a decrease In the surplus reserve. The early
demand was sufficient to cause slight advances
in some stocks after an irregular opening. The
pressure later wiped out these gains ami prices
in most stocks retired slightly below those of
the opening. Louisville and Nashville was the
most conspicuous among the active stocks for
its decitue, but it was only a small fraction.
St. Paul and Atchison followed in point of ac
tivity, but moved oyer a very narrow range, the
excellent showing for the latter having no influ
ence Whatever. Among the specialties Quick
silver was the pnly one showing any life, and
common rose 4s per cent, and preferred 134 per
cent., but both closed a little off from best
figures. Trusts were the only active features to
the market, and Sugar Refineries, while feverish
and irregular, was not active as usual of late,
and finally scored a material Improvement over
night spice. Opening up 144 per cent,
at 7914, it retired to 7844, and after some violent
fluctuations between the latter figure and 80U,
it closes At 8034. Chicago Gas was specially
strong, and rose nearly 2 per cent, on very
moderate business. The close was quiet and
firm at Insignificant changes Trading reached
only (4000 listed and 46.000 unlisted shares
Sugag Refineries figuring for 33, Jutland CUpfigo
Gas for 14,000 shares, these being the only two
in which sales reached higher figures, and the
only stocks in which there was any material
change, outside of specialties. Sugar Refineries
rose *>4 percent., Chicago (Jos 244 percent.,
and (Quicksilver preferred 1 per cent. The fol

The Nuns ootton review save: “Futures
declined sharply in the first half hour under
weak Liverpool aocounts and very favorable re
ports from the growing crop; but at 12 01c for
August there was a brisk buying to cover and
prices improved, aided partly by tbe quotation
of silver at 106. In the last half hour there was
a sharp advance. The market appeared to bid
up the interest of Liverpool, in the hope of
averting a semt pantc, which for some days has
been Impending in the spot market there. Cot
ton Is reported blooming In tbe Gulf states, and
no doubt August will see new crop marketed in
large quantities. After ’change the future mar
ket was weaker, with sellers at inside prices.
The visible supply is now 110,000 bales more
than it was a year ago. and probably 100,000
bales more before October than last year, mak
ing an excess of 210,000 bales. Cotton on spot

the first of the session. The opening was about
34®46c higher than yesterday's closing, im

eased off gome and closed about 44c for July,
44c higher for August, and 34c higher for De
cember. The offerings were light most of the
day, and the feature was a lack of any specially
large trading either in buying or selling. Com
was traded in to a moderate extent, with a
steady feeling, showing but little change In
prices compared with yeeterday. The first
sales of July were a trifle above the closing
yesterday. The market was firm under a good
demand, sold up 34@4fSc, became easier, losiag
the advance, again sold up, and the final quota

and a steadier feeling developed. Prices ad
vanced slightly, and the market closed steady

SENATOR ANTHONY’S OBITUARY.
A Premature Production That Its
Subject Insisted Upon Reading 1 .
From Epoch.
“One night the news came to the Provi
dence Journal office,” said a Rhode Island
politician, “that Mr. Anthony had ba
stricken at his New York hotel on his waj
to Washington. The managing editor seal
a message in hot haste to one of the sena
tor’s most intimate friends, a professor in
Brown SUnirerslty, for an elaborate obit
uary of him. The very next dispatoh might
bring the news of the senator’s death, and
the senator’s own paper must do his careet
justice if the mail was missed on the last
edition. The profesapr, fortunately, had
formerly himselt been a newspaper man,
and was thoroughly familiar with the seii
ator’ij career. He sot to work, and before
1 o’clock the next morning the copy of a
two-column obituary had passed through
the printers’ hands and had been put ints
cold type.
“The senator did not die at that time. In
fact, he reoovered sufficiently to go on to
Washington, but the managing editor ol
the Journal, realizing that the end might
oome at auv moment, thought it best not tq
have the type of the obituary thrown in,
and kept it standing against an emergency;
Weeks passed, when one day the managing
editor received a letter from Senator An‘
thony containing this simple request
‘Please send me a proof of my obltuarj
standing iu type.’ The editor was peri
Slexed. He had not the slightest idea that
enator Anthony knew anything of’ tho ex
istence) of the obitnary. He dfd not knos
what to do, but finally decided to bluff the
senator by- feigning ignorance of what bt
meant ana ignoring bis request.
“In following letters the senator made no
reference to the obituary, and the editol
congratulated himself on the success of hit
bluff. One day Senator Anthony reached
home from Washington and walked intt
the Journal office. He went straight M
the managing editor and said: ‘Please sene
up to the composing room and h%ve than
strike me off a proof of that obituary about
which I wrote you,’
“There was no help for it. The editol
did as he was ordered, and soon the offiN
boy appeared with the proof-sheet in hii
hand. The senator tout it and walked
slowly into a small private office that hi
always retained for himself. He closed thi
door and remained there alone over ai
hour. What his thoughts were as be sat i
that small room all by himself, carefullj
weighing the final ostlinate of bis career bj
his most intimate friend, all ready for pub*
llcation In his own no one ever knew
He walked out of the office In silence as hi
had entered it, and, without a comment,
handed the proof-sheet baok to the editor,*
clean revise. There was not a pencil mars
on it. He then left the office.
“Not long after the fatal stroke cams
and that obituary was printed Exactly as t
was read by Senator Anthony.”

had a hard time during the battle of the Wilder

when the confederate cavalry surprised tw
union troop*. During the excitement Tayioj
lost his hat, and all that day he fought undei
the flery rays of a midsummer's suu withou
the protection of a cap. It affected his S>K“
and blindness gradually came on, until now w
eyes are eiyirely sightless.
