Whether or not the Roman Catholics of Macon wull be allowed to make religious faith a qualification for teachers in their school hereafter Is an issue that was sprung Friday by the grand jury in its general presentments. Referring to the Catholic school, the grand jury's report stated that the members did.not approve the practice in the government and man agement of the school by which it is re quired of applicants for positions as teachers in the school that they should be of the Roman Catholic faith.

It runs in a northwest direction, and up to the present time has been worked two miles along the line of strike, and seems to be uniformly rich till along. It is what is knowh to all mining experts and civil en gineers as a decomposed tallcose schist, and the goid is being found in ribbons of quartz to the depth of thirty-five and forty feet. It is worth about SIOO a ton, and is of a rather mixed quality, being very fine in some parts and very coarse in others. T. B. Marriott and J. H. Feare have sunk a shall on the spot where Mr. Feare first saw the gold cropping out at the surface, and have already exploited forty feet in depth and twenty-five feet each way from the base of the shaft. The metal they have taken out so fat- will average about st>n per ton. for out of a large, number of assays the uniform value is about that. Last week, in a special assay of a large amount of quartz, the metal found was worth tit least SB,OOO per ton. This is the greatest value yet ob tained, and Mr. Marriot says that it ar gues well for the great prices that will yet be paid for the gold. FLORIDA. Gainesville will soon have electric lights.

Palmer & McDowell of St. Augustine are the parties who wanted to get the hotel. Well informed cattle men say that though the shipments of stock from Osceola county aggregate several thou sand, but little impression has been made on the main herds, which must be well worth half a million dollars to-day. It is a mistake to suppose the stock is ap preciably' depleted.

It is believ ed by many that, on account of the strong enmity which existed between the mur dered man and Wnms’ey, he lias been used as a tool by moonshiners to commit the cowardly assassination. David Bessent; who lives on Ihe Craig place, in Baker county, was attacked by a wildcat one night recently. He had just returned from his store in town, and was taking the saddle off his horse in the vnrd when he noticed what he thought w’as a dog near by, but suddenly the animal bounded on his head.
