A SCRIVEN COUNTY FAIR.
The Agricultural Club Suggests That
It Be Organized.
Sylvania, Ga., March 10.—The Union
Agr icuitural Club of this county, an orgau-
Izati m composed of some of the most pros
perous and intelligent iarmers of the state,
in a letter to the icle ihoue this week, takes
the initiative in an enterprise that ought
already to have been started in Scriveu.
They suggest an agricultural fair to be
held at by mania,at which shall be displayed
the produots of the soil together with tbe
handiwork of our wives and daughters. It
is believed that our farmers will at once
take ’up the idea aid that we
wiil, before long, begin to make
preparations for a county fair that
will be surpassed by no{ other in Georgia.
It would be of great advantage for us in
attra-ting others to our county, in stimulat
ing our farmers to vie with each other in
their crops and in bringing them together in
a social way. Hcriven oountv can boast of
farmers as prosperous as any in the south
and lands that will produce as abundantly
as tbe famed Mississippi bottoms. And
as for our wives aud daughters and sweet
hearts—a trip ihrough the county would
convince any one that their preserves, their
jellies and their wines would groeo the
table of a king. So, keep your eye on
Scriven.

of the Death of Cpl. Gamble.
Tznnillk, Ga., March 10.—Superior
court resumed its session this moruiug, hav
ing token a recess for the judge to attend
the funeral of his father, Roger L. Gumbie,
Br., who was one of tbe few great southern
planters of ante-bellum times, who had sur
vived the wreck of war with a sufficiency
for old age. At one time he was assessed
for 500 slaves aud 10,01X1 acres of land in his
own county, and owned other slaves aud a
large plantation in Southwest Georgia.
The damage by the cold to the fruit crop
is believed to be very slight. The farmers
generally complain of being behind with
their Wurk. Planting will be later by a
week to ten days than usuul. Small grain
is doing well.
It is a source of gratification to the best
element of the Oitizeus here that the peti

UNCLE SAM’S GREAT SEAL.
Its True History as Prepared by the
Historian of the State Department.
From the New York Sun.
Washington, Feb. 20. —The great seal of
the United States, which is contained in a
massive mahogany box in the state depart*
j rnent and carefully guarded by the clerks,
whose duties ere to see that Its impress
. is properly affixed to state papers, is of
much interest to visitors to the department,
but its true history was never written
uotil a few mouths ago, when, under
orders from the cabinet, an account of it
was prepared by one of the historians of
the department and printed at the govern
ment’s expense for distribution among state
libraries aud prominent persons. Tbepam
phlet was prepared with all the care that its
importance carried, bound in rtch covering,
with the stamp of the seal imprinted on the
outside. It tells that the final attempt to
perfect a seal was made by order of the con
tinental c ngress which appointed a com
mittee, consisting of Thomas Jefferson,
John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, who
were told to go ahead and prepare a device
for tne national seal und eoat-of-arms.
After several months’ labor tbe committee
suggested a design most elaborate iu exe
cution, but which did not meet with very
general approval. This devioe represented
Fharaoh sitting in an opeu chariot, with a
crown on h:s head and a sword in his hand,
passing through the waters of the lied sea in
pursuit of the Israelites. Rays from a
pillar on .‘ire in a cloud, expressive of the
divine sprese me and .command, beamed
upon Moses, who stood on the shore and
extended a hand over the sea, which caused
it to overwhelm Fharaoh. Underneath
was the motto, “ Rebellion to tyrants is
obedience to God.”
Later an another attempt was made to
arrange a device by a second committee,
which resulted in one not quite so elaborate
and pretentious. This design contained a
constellation of thirteen stars, with the
same number of alternate stripes. This, too,
met with disapproval, and the matter was
let alone for some years. Then, after more
experiments a device was submitted that
suited, and was adopted on June 20, 1782.
The lirst seal was cut out of brass, and was
first used upon the commission granting
full power and authority to Washington to
arrange with the British far an exchange
of prisoners. This device was in use for
fifty years, and vari<s little from tfie
present seal excebt in detail of execution.
The second seal was cut in Ptyladelphia
in 1841, and by some mistake, seven of the
thirteen arrows which it should have had
were left out. The present seal was made by
Titfauy in 1885 by order of Secretary Frev
liughuysen after the design had been passed
upon by a committee of historical scholars
and authorities on heraldry. It is not true,
as generally supposed, that tbe seal is affixed
to all appointments made by tbe Fresident,
its impress is put only upon commissions of
cabinet officers, ceremonious communica
tions from the Fresident to heads of foreign
governments, conventions, treaties and
formal agreements of the President with
foreign powers, pardons, or commutations
of sentence, warrants, and miscellaneous
commissions of civil officers, whose appoint
ments are not now especially directed to be
signed under u different seal. All treaties
to which the seal is affixed have the impres
sion made also with a wax wafer, with a
red, white, aud blue cord running through
it. The treaties are then packed in boxes of
highly-polished and ex pen live woods, to
be sent to the country negotiating them
with us. The treaties of some foreign
governments have been sent in boxes of
gold and silver, richly ornamented, in some
instances, with valuable stones. These
boxes are carefully stored in the archives
of tbe department.
THE DWARFISH RACE IN BPAIN.
En an os With Red Wool for Hair and
Savage Ways.
If. G. HaUliurton, in London Nature.
In consequence of evidence that I had ob
tained as to the existence of a dwarf race in
Spain, I wrote to Mr. MoPhersou, our con
sul at Barcelona, aud inclose his reply.
There have long been rumors of survivals
of a dwarf or a prehistoric race existing in
parts cf Fpaiu, but careful inquiries at
Madrid failed to supply any delimits In
formation on tbe Bui ject. Last summer, on
reading over an old number of A'osmos
(Pans, 18S7), I found a brief paragraph re
ferring to a pigmy race having been found
in the province of Gerona, Spain, wnobad
slightly Mongolian eyes, yellow, broad,
square faces, bight from I.IU meters to 1.15
meters, aud red hair.
An Austrian gentleman recently told me
he had seen, iu the market place in Sala
manca, come very uudor-slzed peasants,
with broad faces and mahogany-colored
wooiy hair.
You will see that these accounts all agree
substantially, and tnat these dwarfs and
these of Africa are precisely similar.
I have got a deal of information from an
old Spanish woman who belongs to a half
breed nano family, and who says that there
are in such families frequently nanos (or
"enanos”) who have red tufts of wool, and
are as small as ordinary small boys. But
these tufts of wool are peculiarly character
istic of dwarf raoes nearly everywhere.
1 shall write more fully as to my inqui
ries amotg 1 alf-t reed nar.Oß, but they are
of very tecotidary interest cow that wo
can find pure racial nanos within easy
reach.
It is most fortunate that they live in the
valley of Ribas and tbe Col de Tosas, with
in a little more than a half day’s journey
from Toulouse. Some health seekers or
tourists in the South of France may per
haps feel inclined to pay a visit to these lit
tle people.
HELEN KELLAR.
Sbo Can Talk Now—How Bfce Knows
What is Said to Her.
From the Boston Oh he.
Helen Kellar, the remarkable child who,
although born blind and deaf and dumb,
has accomplished so much that is beautiful
and inspiring, numbers among her friends
many persons of royal station in European
courts who uever saw her. One of these is
the Queen of Greece, who learned of Helen
through Michaii Aoaguos, tho director of
the institution for the blind, when he
visited Greeoe some time ago. The interest
which the queen took in Helen was so in
tense that she exacted from Mr. Auagnog a
promise that he would let her read every
letter that Helen wrote to him while he was
at the Greek capital, end when he was
about to return to this couutry she induced
him to permit her to retain several of the
letters that she had read, which are treas
ured very highly at the court.
The queen expressed on more than one
occasion her surprise that Helen, who is not
yet in her teens, should have so remarkable
a command of the purest English, and
hinted tnat the child might have had some
assistance in tho preparation of her wonder
ful letters. But Mr. Anagnos disposed of
that thought by informiug her majesty that
there was no person connected with the in
stitution who could write English so fault
lessly pure and sweet as Helen wrote, since
the little girl never bad bad an opportunity
to form acquaintance with any but the
loftiest models of the language.
Helen has learned to articulate, and can
speak as freely and fully as any unafflicted
person. When she wishes to hold a long
conversation with anybody dear to her,
she places one finger across the lips of the
speaker and another on the throat at the
larynx. In this way she understands every
word that is uttered as rapidly as could be
understood by a person with good eyesight
aud hearing.
Berlin has the widest train roof on the conti
nent of Europe, that over the Anhalt elation;
but it is only 118 feet 8 inches,or 61 feet 8 inches
less than the Jersy City train shed, says the
Philadelphia Brest. The rise of this truss is 48
feet 1.6 inches; that of the Pennsylvania truss
80 feet 0.6 inches; so the Anhalt train roof could
staid under the Jersey City roof, with two En
glish train sheds, St. Pancras and Central Sta
tion, Birmingham, between it, and the Jersey
City shed, and every other train shed in Europe
under it, while the Broad street shed would arch
over them all.

TIGHT MONEY ANDTRADE
33VERE WEATHER AHO HAD AN
ADVERSE EFFiC T.
The Restraint of Exports by Specula

i Factor in Causing the Stringency.
The Outlook as Shown by Reports
From Various Cities.
New York, March 10.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade says:
“Business during the past week has been
affected by severe weather, but evea more
' by the stringency and uncertainty in the
! money markets. The rates for money have
mounted from 5% on call to 51 per cent.,
j and for two days ruled above 10 per cent.,
| but tbe extreme pressure baa abated with
| out any measure of relief, and on the an
nouncement that the treasury department
would not issue bonds but would use the
bullion reserve in maintaining gold pay
ments, the withdrawals of money for tha
west and south have nearly ceased. Gold
to the amount of $1,000,0J0 was offered to
the treasury in exchange for legal tenders
by banks of Denver, and as much by one
bank at Chicago, and rates here fell to 6 per
cent.
“There were some liquidation of stocks,
but none of importance in products and it
is avident that the restraint of exports by
speculation in the chief staples is an im*
portant cause of the monetary stringency
and of the loss of gold by the treasury.
“Fair increase is seen in the wholesale
trade at Bc. Louis, with bright promise for
tbe spring.
"Trade Is satisfactory at Littla Rock:
Improving at Memphis and quiet at other
points in Tennessee; shrinking with tight
money at Columbus; least fairly good at
Atlanta; better with increased shipments of
lumber at Mobile, and fair at New Orleans,
with sugar firm but rice lower,
“The output of iron March 1, wa5’57,770
tons weekly more than Feb. 1, though 17,-
000 tons less than a year ago. The stock
unsold declined 7,700 tons during the

at $8 at Birmingham. Bar iron is at the j
lowest point. Plates are cut somewhat less

bhadstrket’s review.
Bradstreet’s to-morrow will say:
“The orders for cotton goods ut
eastern aud other centers of pro
duction are larger, more cotton is being
consumed and prices are steady. Jobbers
are taking larger quantities of goods, and
oountry dealers are placing heavy orders.
The increased capacity at Fall River results
in a surplus of 5,000 pieces, but prints are
active.
“At the south Charleston reports trade
dull, us interior dealers are permitting thei,
stocks to run down. Business is not par
tlcularly active at Nashville, Memphis,
Riobmond, Atlanta, Birmingham or New
Orleans, und collections, while fair at a few
points, are generally slow.
"Farmers are actively engaged in field
work in W estern Tennessee, aDd in Georgia
they have raised so much larger food crops
that grocers’ sales have been affected at
Atlanta and elsewhere, although at Birm
ingham trade in this line has improved.
"The slow movement of cotton makes
trade dull in Louisiana, where the sugar
acreage is to bo increased.”
ATLANTA WANTS THE FAIR.
The Piedmont Exposition Company
After the Annual Show.
Atlanta, Ga„ March 10.—A meeting of
the Piedmont Exposition Company will be
held early next week for the purpose of
considering tbe advisability of taking steps
to secure tbe state fair this year under the
compromise oontract recently entered into
between the State Agricultural Society and
the city of Macon. President Kingsborry
of the exposition company stated to-day
that tbe matter had been canvassed among
the direotors of the exposition company,
and that the sentiment was in favor of
securing the fair for Atlanta this year if
possible.
TRIAL OF THE BEUBSES.
The Evidence All in and the Argu
ments to Begin To-day.
Athens, Ga., March 10. The court
before which the Beusse trial is in progress
adjourned this afternoon at 5 o’clock till
to-morrow. The evidence is all in and the
argument will take place in the morning.
The theory of tbe defense came
to light to-day and is to the effect
that Allie Beusse struck Conductor Cadle
aud knocked him against the sharp edge of
a door, the wound which resulted in death
being received from tbe fail. To bear this
out the defense seeks to prove that death
resulted from the wound in the back of the
head aud not the ones on the front.
TROUBLE OVER A LOAN.

Ocala, Fla., March 10. —Daniel Siuclair
was brought back from Tampa to-day for

ginia under false pretenses. It is claimed
that he secured the money by showing a
false abstract which indicated that the land
on which he received the funds Was free

clair used a certiflcete furnished by Mr.
Massey, tho abstractor, and given with un
abstract as showing an incumbrance. Sin

secured the money. E. W. Agnew, B. A.

COMMITTED: O THE SENATE.
The Caucus Committ e Still Hard at
Work on Them.
Washington, March 10.—The senators
composing the democratic caucus commit
tee appointed for the purpose of revising
tbe Senate oommitteesadjourned this even
ing after a third session lasting six hours.
“We have accomplished rnuob co-day,”
said one of the members, ‘‘although we are
not yet through with the assignments." It
is possible that tbe oommittee will finish to
morrow and will then report to the caucus,
which may be called after tbe Bessiou of the
Manate Monday or Tuesday morning, for if
tha Senate committees: are not reorganized
by Monday the session will be very brief
and another adjournment will in all prob
ability be taken for another three days so
that the democrats can in the
meantime ooraplete the work
of reorganization. As soon as
the committee has agreed it will notify the
republicans and will call upon them to sub
mit a report of their caucus work. This
will be Incorporated in the report to the
caucus of the democrats aud whatever shall
be agreed upon will go before the Senate in
the shaDe of a resolution. The fact that ail
confirmations are being he.d back and
that the appointees of President Cleve
land cannot hold their positions until
they are confirmed is an incentive sufficient
to cause the oommittee to boas expetidieous
as possible, and they are losing no time.
The labor of the gantlemen who are doing
this work is more arduous than might be
supposed. When any parti ular committee
has been agreed upon it often happens that
a subsequent shifting of members compels
a remodeling of tbe whole scheme.
THE MAIN TROUBLE.
Tho main trouble has been caused by a
desire to till ia ail the committees and se
lect the chairman with due regard to the
geographical distribution of the senators. It
was found in a number of instances that
after a democrat had beau assigned to a
committee that the minority membership
of the committee contained the name of a
republican senator from the same state as
the democratic selection. This has created
a great deal of trouble and, as one
committeeman says, has been productive
of the only trouble yet met. It is under
stood that there has been no pressure
brought to bear and that uo strife lor place
has been stirred up. The only chairman
ship that has been a disturbing factor was
not because of aspirants for plaoe, but be
cause no one wanted it. This is the chair
manship of the committee on Indian depre
dations, a position that entails a great deal of
hard work, which does not return any com
pensating political advantage or prestige.
There has been some talk to the effect that
the democrats intended abolishing some of
the minority committees, but it has been
decided that the republicans should have
just as much as they gave their opponents
in the last congress. This means eleven
chairmanships for the republicans and,
counting the coutereuce room, which goes
to Senator .'-herman, an even dozen com
fortable rooms with the necessary clerks for
the minority.
At previous meetings the committee has
been bothered by the interference of oallers.
To-day imperative orders were issued, and
no one was permitted to see auy senator
charged with this duty.

“ I have been taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla

Hoocfs Cures
f __________
Catarrh in the Head
Is a Constitutional Disease and
Hood's Sarsaparilla Is a Con*
•tltutional Remedy
f/tlj in Tit
Haverhill, Mass.
, "I have been a victim of catarrh for ten
years. It has kept my head feeling badly with a
sense of fullness and Haging in tfac earn.
Instead of discharge from the nose, as many
have, it has acted so that either one or the other
of my nostrils has been tightly closed up so that
I Could Not Breathe
through it, nor would blowing the nose clear it
I tried several catarrh cures and different treat
ments, but failed to get any relief. At last
reading of permanent cares by Hood’s Sar
saparilla I determined to give it a fair honest
trial. I have now finished four bottles and am
satisfied it has effected a cure, for tho catarrh no
longer troubles me a particle, and I feci better
la every way than I have for years. I am very
Grateful at tho Result
And if what I have said of tho benefit I have
obtained bo of any use In persuading others to
Hood’s
Sarsaparilla
Ouros i
try It In similar cases I shall feel amply repaid."
