OCOHOIA. A lodge of Odd Fellows has been organ ized at Valdosta. Mrs. Wood Cox’s home, in Attapulgus, ■was burglarized Tuesday night and stolen. In several sections of Oglethorpe county farmers are very much disc- uraged by the appearance of rust in their grain. Clarke county pays t weuty white teachers $1,061 for teaching 5U white pupils and she pays twenty-five colored teachers $2,158 for teaching 1,245 colored children. It is proposed to build the new hotel at Bellevue, Macon’s charming suburtan re sort. It is to cost SIOO,OOO, and will be modern in all of its appointments. While Mr. Mathews, an employe at An drews & Woodin’s variety' works at Albany, was at work Thursday, all the fingers on his right hand were cut off by a saw. A man who sometimes appears perfectly nude is prowling around West End, a suburb of Atlanta, at night scaring woman and children. All efforts to oap.ure him have so far proved unavailing. Millions of bricks will be made in Gaines ville this summer. Brick making is getting to be one of the city's leading industriss. There are five yard* in active operation, and the latest improved machinery is used. Dr. George Eberhart of Hartwell bought a huge turtle, weighing twenty-eight pounds, Saturday that was caught out of the Savannah. When it was cut open it was found to contain an eel and a large water mocassin. Madison is to have electric lights within ninety days, the contract to that effect hav ing been signed with the Tbomson-Houston Electric Company. Anew hotel to cost $20,000 and a system of water works are also among the p: obabilitles. William Collins, a white man, and Jim Bell, a negro, got into a difficulty last Sun day, about twelve miles north of Valdosta, and the former cut the latter’s abdomen open, letting out about eight feet of intes tines. Report says tbsy had been playing oards. Collins disappeared, of course, ami Bell is in a critical condition. Thomson Journal: John M. Curtis of this place has recently finished another yacht, which he sent to Savannah, aud on Tuesday evening himsalf and Aleck Curtis, C. J. Fortson and B. H. Willingham left for Savannah, where, m company with T. D. Curtis, they embark on the yacht for a sea voyage to Brunswick, Keruaudma and per haps other points. Last week a colored man named Antony James was engaged in rafting timber out of Spring creek, near Bainbrulge, when begot a rope twisted around bis leg. The other end of the rope wo* fastened to a raft. The raft was drifting down with the current, and he was seriously bruised, and if the timber had not caught against the bank it is thought bis leg would have been muti lated beyond hope. Eastman Times: Friday afternoon last, while W. H. Johnson, one of the proprie t ira at the Standard Manufacturing Com pany’s works, was looking after some of the machinery, the belt which runs the inatcLer broke and struck him, knocking him down, and proceeded to give him a genteel flogging before be could extricate himself from the coils. He was laid up a day or two, but not seriously hurt. Hartwell Sun: Thomas Hilley and sons. Dozier and Robert, and Thomas Hunt and Charlie Norman became involved in a difficulty near Or.k Bower on Sunday after noon, in which Mr. Hilley was struck a severe blow upon the forehead with a pair of b. ass knocks, and Thomas Hunt received a stab iu the back under the shoulder blade from a pocket-knife. Charlie Norman also received a slight cut. None of the wounds were dangerous. Tbomasville Times-Eyiterprise: On Tues day night there was deposits! on the piazza of a negro house on the Lester place, six or seven miles from Cairo, in Decatur county, anew born white infant, female, wrapped up in a coarse hand-made undergarment and a shawl, formerly red striped, but now dyed black. A buggy, drawn by a mule, shod, was tracked to the house and a short distance beyond, where it turned and took the direction it came from toward Thomas villa Home is to have another military com pany. Active steps are being taken toward reorganizing the Miller Rifles, a company that fought during the entire oivil war. The Miller Rifles was originally organized in 1561, and named after Dr. H. V. M. Miller, a prominent physician, who now re sides in Atlanta. Thu company left Rome for Virginia in May, 1861, was in the first battle of Manassas, and fought bravely in that battle, as they did in the following conflict* of the war. Augusta Herald: Some time ago a Mrs. Lavary, who kept a grocery store near the orphan asylum, deserted her husband and left the city with a young German name 1 Kaiser. Khe afterward came back, told all the property in which she was interested, which netted nearly Hi,ooo, gave her hus band *6OO, and left again to join Kaiser. For this her husband brought suit for divorce, which is now pending. They trav eled all through the we t, spending money freely, sometimes *IOO a day, until finally the funds began giving out, and to avoid empty pockets Kaiser robbed her. Columbus Enquirer~Sun: Work is pro gressing rapidly on the new City mills. The elevator has been built to the top, and only needs the tin roofing, flooring and weather-boarding to be completed. It is a massive structure, capable of holding 25,000 bushels of grain in its bins, besides 20,000 more on the capacious floor. The office and store house, a large two-story brick building, is also nearly completed, and work on the building for the mills proper has been commenced. The entire plant will be completed in a few months, and will be one of the very largest institu tions of the kind in the whole south. Tbomaston Dimes: On Thursday of last week Robert Bachelor, the section boss on the M. & B. railroad at Hen dricks, took bis little girl Bessie, aged 8 years, out to where he was at work. After being there some time she •wished to go home, and her father told one of the negro bauds to carry her home, which was only a short distance, and bring back a bucket of water. The negro started with the child to the house and on the way at tempted to outrage her. Mrs. Bachelor discovered the fl&nd aud ran to her hus band aud told him. He started after the wretch, who ran off when Mr. Bachelor got two of his men to join in the pursuit. They armed themselves and pur sued him about nine miles, capturing him in his brother’s house in Hike county. They took him back to Judge Black’s to bind him over to court and decided to guard him until morning, as it was night before they reached Hendricks. During the night he got out of the bouse and started off, fol lowed by a volley from his guards’ guns. He has not been heard of since, but we think wo may safely assert that his days as a criminal are ended. The plans for the new gymnasium of the State university have been completed. The building is to be of brick and stons, and will cost about $5,000 when complete. One thousand dollars more will purchase *ll fixtures aud apparatus necessary to equip the gymnasium, office, etc., in the most improved style, thus giving to the univer ■lty, for SO,OOO, oue of the bast equipped gymnasiums in th south. In addition to this a grand stand will shortly bo built for tho base ball ground, and with these pro jsets a ocessfully completed no southern college can offer such inducements for the proper training of both mind •nd body at Georgia's state university. Th* gymnasium u to I be octagonal in shape, two stones in hight, will be arranged in the m st approved man ner, and will contain all the appliances ne •- essary to th ■ modern gymnasium. On the first floor will be the gymnasium, the floor of which will be 48x32, and this will be fitted with all the lates and most approved appa ratus. On this floor also will be a double track bowling alley, and the assembly room 26 feet in diameter, these, with a hand somely fitted office and vestibule, will com pose the grour.d floor of the building. On the sec nd floor will be a running track of forty-e.ght laps to the mile, a sufficient number of lockers and well fitted bath rooms. Mrs. 8. N. Dorsett of Douglassvil.e now believes that her husband has eloped with Mrs. Massey. He is suppose ito have y ined her at Falatka, Fla Mrs. Massey will be I remembered as the woman who was sup posed to be wandering around (Georgia with ber mind unsettled. Those who know best believe that Mr. Dortett has quite a nice sum of money with lim, probably so,oooor SIO,OOO. Many notes and accounts are missing. He probably has $2,000 of the $3,000 borrowed of Mr. Inman. He has left only a small amount for bis children and their stepmother. Dorsett & Smith may go into the hands of a receiver. A number of unsecured creiitors, through Col. B. G. Griggs, an attorney of this place, filed a creditors' bill yesterday, alleging that the deed of assignment hereto fore made by Mr. Smith was void for the reason that no inventory of the property of the firm was filed with the deed. The paper asked that the deed be set aside and that a receiver be appointed. Judge Clark passed an order restraining the assignee from pro ceeding further under the deed of assign ment, and appointed a temporary receiver to take charge of the assets of the firm. The case will be heard iu Atlanta Saturday week. N. A. Morse of Austell, brother-in law to Mr. Dorsett, has been appointed reoeiver for 8. N. Dorsett’s personal prop erty. Hone in Mrs. Dorsett’s behalf. Many queer things hava occurred on the Old Seventh court ground in Haralson county. Home years ago the farmers iu that section became convinced that some body was making away with their hogs. It was at first thought that wild animals from the neighboring woods were responsible for the missing (took, but at last suspicion rested upon a mau named Umphrey Poesy. A posse was organized aud all the meat was found at Posey's house, where 1,000 pounds of it had been stored away. Court was conveued, Posey was arrested anil the jus tice called upon to pass sentence. Liquor flowed freely; the justice wus in his cups, and it was at first decided to sell the meat and divide the money among the crowd. But it was such Dan bacon nobody wanted it, and so the justice decided that the best way to dispose of it was to burn it and make Poiey pay the costs of the jollifi cation. This was accordingly done. The orowd was wild with excitement. With mad shouts they seized the confiscated meat and piled it up until it reached the top of the house. Then they placed fagots around it and it was soon a burning mass. The crowd shouted with savage delight as the flames crackled and the sm >ke from a thousand pounds or more of home raised bacon ascended to the skies. It was the greatest jollification ever known iu that section, and is often referred to by the parties who were present and participated iu it. Montezuma Hecord: There has been a nice state of affairs over about Hnow Spring,in Dooly county, for some time,|and the good citizens of the neighborhood brought it to a climax one night last week. It appears that a man named C. M. Faulk had been defying public opinion, outraging decency and making the community smell bad generally on account of his ugly con duct. He has prostituted two or three youug gills who reside near him, and the patience of the neighbors became thread bare after a long time. A baud of white caps was formed, though they wore no masks, to rid the community of such unde sirable people. They tried to catch Faulkat the house several times, but be was entirely too slick for them. He heard that they were after him and ne remained away from their home for some time. As soon os the matter quieted down he went there again, but was not caught. These citizens openly declared their purpose, and made no special secret of their work to get rid of a vicious and demoralizing set, went to the home of the girls, took them out and chastised them very severely, giving them a certain length of time to leave the county. They wanted to punish Faulk also, but could not appre hend him. Faulk and his crowd of women came to Montezuma, took the train and de parted for part* unknown. Faulk has a family and his wife owns a good term, and has unlimited credit with merchants in Montezuma. Bhe is a good woman, and has the respect of all her neighbors. FLORIDA. Tho Casino at St. Augustine has closed for the summer. It is said that T. M. Lybass of Bartow re fused $3,000 clear profit on his Irish potato crop this season. The property of the Gainesville Furniture and 4Vagon Company will be sold by Sheriff Fennell on Monday next. Bamuol T. Fletcher of Bartow has 160 acres of the finest phosphate land that has yet been discovered in Polk county. Frank Bentley of Syraouse, Kan., and County Treasurer B. F. Holland of Bartow propose to organize anew bank at Bartow. Tampa News: Will one of the Hillsboro members offer a resolution to turn over the Mullet Key quarantine station to the fed eral government, and thus relieve the state of a heavy expense that ought to be footed by the general government? Hon. V. J. Shipman, receiver of the United States land office at Gainesville, made an important land purchase at Bloom field last week. He bought eighty acres of valuable land fn m tho Omweg brothers, and will make big nnprovduients thereon. Steve Williams, a county oonvlct, who es caped from the lessee, Mr. Wigg, about three weeks ago, was arrested by Sheriff Bhelley near Citra last night and recom mitted to jail, where be will serve his sen teaee of six months at hard labor. It was a long chase, but an effective one. One of the best farmer) in Florida, now a state senator, can eat on* dozen eggs at a meal, and has been known to devour twen ty-seven oranges at one sitting. He keeps out of tbe poor house by being the cham pion sweet potato grower of his state, aud raising his own hog and hominy. Perry Wall, Jr., has just let the oontract for a 60x90 brick building, with three stories and a basement, to ba put upon tbe corner of Lafayette and Tampa streets at Tampa. This will be one of the finest buildings in the city and built especially for the hard ware trade, and will be occupied by Knight & Wall. A procession of about 300 Spaniard an archists, with band and red flags displayed, inarched through Tampa on Friday, May day. The “reds" were out marc ling in Ybor aad tried to force a suspension of work In all the faotories, but it did not work. The marshal, with a force of police men, was on hand to see that no trouble ocourred. The Imperial Phosphate Company was organized at Leesburg last Saturday. Tbe capital stook is $50,000, and the officers are Joel F. MoClend >ll, pre-ident; Cant. J. B. Milam, vice president; B. It. Milam, secre tary and treasurer; Andrew N. Miller, general manager.

At Pensacola Tuesday, at noon, whilo some of the crew of the Spanish steamship Puerto Hiqusrro were hoisting one of the ship’s b >at from the water to th • davits, tie tackle at one end parted and tha end of the boat was precipitated into the wave. In the boat at the time was a young Span ish sador, whose name could n<*t be ascer tained, and who was thrown overb ad by the mishap, It is supposed that he mud have been injured iu toms manner a* the boat w* falling, for he went to the bottom of Use bay at once aud never rose again.

Crop re ports were uniformly favorable, receipts con tinuing enormous.

As the session advanced considerable bullish news was re ceived, but Anally wheat closed near the bottom at gl 0464, Corn was as weak as wheat, the re sult of weaker cables, weakness in wheat, long selling and the promise of continued heavy re ceipts July opened at 6314 - a-id closed at the lowest point of the day. 6244 c.
