his bead suddenly dropped on his breast and

master at Mulberry, Jackson county, and a
prominent oitizon of that place,was brought

stamps. Rainey, it seems, did this contrary

placed him under bond to answer the
charge before the United States court in

Sumner Local: When J. T. Hooks first
settled on his sand hill, in this county, he
could hardly get a crop started for the
crows. Six of them were especially annoy
ing, and made an independent living out of
hit field for several mouths. Finally an idea
occurred to Mr. Hooks, and selecting seven
fresh hen eggs, be doted them liberally with
strychnine and placed them where the crows
Could easily find them. Next day the six
blaok thieves were lying in various attitudes
of death over the field, and one egg was left
untouched. This egg Mr, Hooks buried to
keep anything else from finding it and that
night a coon came along, scratched up the
egg. and next morning was found with his
forepaws on the third rail of the fenoe,
where death had caught him, just as he was
climbing over.
Atlanta Herald: Hon. John Bibiey of
Cobb is just back from Washington. The
Honorable John was quite a conspicuous
figure in the last Georgia legislature. If he
didn’t talk more than anybody else he
talked louder than anybody else, and on a
viva voce rote his influence was tremend
ous. But even his admirers never suspected,
perhaps, that his lungs might be worth $3,-
600 a year to him. They may be, it appears.
There were seventeen applicants for two
positions as reading clerk in the House.
They were all given a cuance to read, and
tbe Honorable John came out with flying
colors. Eight of the seventeen were elected
to “try it over’’ in January. The gentle
man from Cobb is one of the eight, and
expects to lie appointed. “I’ve got many a
demerit,” he says, “and many a whipping
in school on account of my big mouth, and
now I’m going to get some good out of it.”
Brunswick Times: The Times has pre
sented Gen. J. Floyd ICing with a photo
graph which represents a group of confeder
ate veterans listening to the narrative of
war reminiscences by an old negro named
Neptune Small. Tbe group consists of
Gen. King, Maj. Charles 8. Wylly, Mayor
M-Ji* Colson and J. E. Dart, seated, and
the venerable old negro Neptune standing.
The story which Neptune tells is one of
thrilling interest and may be reproduced in
the columns of the Times at a later dato.
Neptune was the servant of Capt. D. Lord
King, a brother of Gen. King. Capt. King
was an assistant adjutant general in Gen.
Longstroet’s corps. He was killed
battle of Fredericksburg, Dec.
1.4, 1862, while carrying dispatches. Hi*
body was left on the field between the two
lines, and rescued by Neptuue. Neptune, a
faithful servant and devoted to his master,
out betwoen the lines and sought
the body until he found it, and thau bore
it from the field of battle. He was put In
charge of the remains and oarrled them to
Havanas:.. The body has since been re
moved to St. Simon’s and now rests in the
old Frederica oemetery. Mr. Dart as near
the place where Capt. King was killed and
learned of bis death a short time after it oc
curred. When Neptune had brought tbe
! body of his master to Savannah for burial,
i be went west to be with Capt. Cuvier King,
! Mho was in the western army. He re
mained with him until the war closed and
then waiked back to his old home. He now
: lives on St. Simon’s, and in telling his story
is always deeply moved.

Titusville Star: Since it has been de
ciuod by the International Ocean Telegraph
Compauy to extend their line from Orlando
to Jupiter th#question comes up, what will
Uncle Sam do with his line? Mr. Lanouette
thinks that when the new line is completed
that the government will sell their line to
the highest bidder. Will Messrs. Dwyer
Bros, or any one else go into such a vent
ure, for the reoeipts of the lino in the busy

keep the Hue in repair and pay running ex
penses.
Titusville Star: The pineapples are look
ing remarkably well on the St. Lucie river.
Our planters plauted out last summer a
large amount of plauts, but it Btemg that
every one fell short on tho supply of plants.
The crop has been doubled every year, but
plants are still in great demand and our
planters intend to get next summer r supply
of plants from the keys. The crop of apple 9
will be a large one. O. K. Wood alone is
supposed to ship 1,000 crates. Taking this
as an average from tho number of plauts
planted on the river that will bear next
summer, there will be on the river at least
from 8,000 to 12,000 crates, and Mr. Kltoh
ing expects to realize from his Egyptian
queens, one acre iu all, at least $2,500, and
from the looks we have no doubt that that
will only be a low estimate.

The stock market to-day was a legitimate
contiuuation of those ofttia last few days, there
being still very pronounced buying by com
mission houses; while selling remained princi
pally professional and without significance
The temper, while strong almost throughout,
was heavy at times under pressure of,
first, brars, and second, further realizations.
Tae great feature of the day, however, was
continued purchases by foreigners, and the
stocks which are the greatest favorites abroad
were the most pronounced in the market to-
I day. Among these Erie and Louisville and
Nashville were specially conspicuous, the first
being agatn leader In point of activity while
scoring marked advanoe, and tho last malting
the largest final gain of addition to the active
list. Wabash preferred was also again very
active and strong,furth-r Increasing substantial
gain of yesterday. Among low-priced shares.
Colton Oil. lowa Oeotral, Central Pacific and
Hocking Valley led in the upward movement,
all scoring material advances, while Bt. Paul
and Duluths were weak, preferred reaching 1
per cent. The market in general opened quiet
but higher, and while the bear pressure caused
a lose of the opening gains la tn- early deal
ings, the concession was only momentary, and
while the list soon resumed its steady upward
maroh, no sigus of reaction until final dealings
were se**n. when rcallzatio- s on advances ac
oru-d caused some hesitation, but the close was
still active and firm to strong at or near tne
highest pr.ces of the day Among tbe active
shares final prices ■ .0* small gaiaa as a rule,
but Louisville and Nashville is up 14, Wabash
preferred 14 and Cotton Oil 1 per cent. The

New York, Deo. 19,—The -Sun’s cotton review
says: “Futures opened quiet and unsettled,
th -n advanced 4®5 points, closing steady. The
improvement was due almost wholly to tbe
more active spot market at Llverpiol. The
sales there of 12,000 bales were exceptionally
large for Saturdty. It was also seen from
Ellison’s circular that tho continent has in
creased its consumption and run down its
stocks, whereas the opposite was supposed to
be tho truth, hut all depends upon the move
ment of our crop for the next few weeks. The
bulls were quite coulident to-day on the belief
that the statistical position, severely adverse as
It now is, has at length turned in their favor
A more active spot market may confidently be
predicted. After ’change the market weakened
under report of larj_e receipt* at Memphis.
Sales were made at 7 85c for February. 7 84c
for March, and 8 13c for April. Spot cotton
was dull.”

Chicago Dec. 19 —There was a decided im
provement In theamount of business done in
the wheat pit to-day in comparison with that of
the past few days, though it was chiefly of a
looal character. Prices started at abo.it the
closing figures of yesterday, but the tone of the
market was hesitating and unoertain for a time.
The day’s late cables showed that foreign mar
kets were stronger, that there were liberal
acceptances of last night's offers, and that
foreigners were good buyers in New York.
Early sellers covered and went long and the sell
ing pressure was quickly rellevel. There was
no further advance iu the market nor any
spurt, but a strong confident feeling and good
liberal buying. The trade, however, was neither
heavy nor very brisk. May opened at 9744 c,
touched 97#4c, weakened to 9784 c, reacted to SBc,
held to 97740 for a time, weakened to 97J4e. but
rallied some near the close aud olosed firm at
977#c. Corn was decidedly weak early. Tne im
provement tn inspection started liberal selling.
A drop of 2c in December corn at New
York increased the depression. Later, on the
advanoe in wheat, tfce tone in ooru improvtd,
but it became unsettled In the last hour, going
still lower and closing near the bottom. Tne
market was rather nervous and the orowd
scared easily, selling freely when it broke aud
buying back as eagerly when it turned|strong.
December opened 1 tyc lower and fluctuating
as noted above, receded to 45->4c. olosed at 460.
January shows a loss of lo and May of iso.
Oats were steady and without feature. Hog
produots wore lower. Receipts were 7,000 head
above the estimare, and prices at yards were
15@200 lower. Packers were free seders from
the start. The close was near the bottom fig
ures of the day.
