suspected the colored driver of the

tained S150. The young men went
to work and found that Jim had been
spending money right and left. A
warrant was sworn out tor him on

Hurst’s hands. This meant business,
as Gns always get them if they are
in reach.. He and Marshal Spair
oqlled to their aid tho police force,
and tho search for the negro commen
ced. Policeman Gordon found Jim
in a colored barber shop, where he
was leaning back enjoying the manip

Bitten by a Moccasin Snake.
We J noticed briefly on Sunday
morning, that George Washington, a
woll known nogro hunter who shoots
for the market, was bitten by a moc
casin snnkc, Saturday afternoon.
The mauner in which he was bit
was rather peculiar, as there is an old
saying that snakes will not bite while
in water, but Gcorgp \yill deny this in
the future
He was out on the Ocblockoncc
about five miles from town shooting
squirrels, nnd had shot one which fell
in the water. Taking ofl his slmes he
waded in after his game, and when
about knee deep in water was bitten
by the suake on tho foot. His snake-
ship then rose to the surface aud
swam ashore where he wns nftorwards
killed.
Washington did not have tho cus
ternary snake bite remedy along, and
putting tobacco on the wound, hound
a cord around the leg to stop the poi
son’s circulation. Ho made his way
to a house near by, and was soon after
brought to town, and treated, He is
now out of danger.

The Offender Fined.
Shelton Smith, a colored youth,
was betorc Judge Mitchell yesterday
morning, charged with malicious mis
chief.
Smith is the coon who 1ms been in
dulging in the dangerous pastime of
rocking Iraius. The offenses were
committed out on the Chattahoochee
division, nnd he generally chose a time
when conductor Robinson’s train pars
ed along. On one occasion the brick
narrowly missed a lady passenger who
wns sitting in the coach. The last
offense wns oomraitted Friday, and
this time it was conductor Robinson
who caiue very near being the victim,
the missile striking only a few inches
from the open window where he wns
sitting.
The prosecuting attorney and the
lawyer for the defence agreed on a
plea, and the prisoner was let off with
n fine of 815 and ci sts, amounting to
nearly thirty dollars, or six months
on the gnng.
The Road From Tifton.
The Atlanta Constitution, of the
17th inst, says;
"Tifton to Thomasville!
The trade is made. The road will
be built. Work will begin iu earnest
Monday morning.
The toad 1ms been talked of for
months, nnd its construction 1ms been
for some time an assured fact- The
people of Thomasville and that terri
tory wanted jt, and they were bound
K; have it, even if the Georgia South
ern and Florida hadn’t taken hold of
It.
But there is no longer any doubt
about it. The contractor is in Tifton
now with a cotnploto equipment and
a large force of hands.
"My contract,” said he, ‘’calls for
the completion of the road inside of
eight mouths. I think we can do it
in less time tiinu that,
“We start to work bright and early
Monday morning, anil will push the
building just as rapidly as possible.”
Yesterday morning, at Tifton com
menced active work on tho construc
tion oj another liuo of railway to
Thomasville.
Editor Denham, of Monticello,
passed through yesterday afternoon,
enroute to Savannah.
We regret to chronicle the death of
Mrs. D. C. Blanton. The sad event
occurred on Sunday night. She was
a most devoted mother and an estima
ble woman. She leaves a husband,
several small children and many
friends tp mourn her death. She was
buried in Laurel Hill cemetery, yes
terday afternoon, the remains being
followed by a largo number of rela
tives and friends, >to their final resting
place. The funeral services were con
ducted hy the Rev. W. J. Williams,

A State Offence.
Shelton Smith, the colored youth
who was fined 815 and costs in tho
county court yesterday for malicious
mischief, may not get off as light as
ho now probnbly imagines. Rocking
trains comes in tbc list of state offen
ces, mul the grand jury will no doubt
find a bill against him, and the chan
ces are that jhe will be severely pun
ished before the courts arc through
with hitu.
Death of a Husband.
William Nye thus returns thanks
for kindness and sympathy received
by a lntely bereaved widow in New
Hampshire:
‘‘I desire to thank the friends and
neighbors most heartily in this man
ner for their united aid aud co-opera
tion during the illuess aud death ot
my recent husband who escaped from
me by tbe hand of deatli on Friday
last while we were eating breakfast.
To the friends, botli one and all, who
thus contributed so willingly toward
making the last moments and funeral
of my husband a howling success, 1
desire to he remembered most kindly,
hoping that these few lines may find
them enjoying the same blessing. I
bow to the cruel stroke. I also have
a good milch cow and roan gelding
horse rising ot eight years old which
I will sell cheap on the premises. God
moves in mysterious way his wonders
to perform. He plants his footsteps
in the sea and rides upon the storm.
Also a black and white shotc very
low.” Yours truly,
The Ciunt Nearly Completed.
The census clerks linve practically
completed the count of the population
of the United States. There are,
however, nbout 1,200 enumeration
districts from which returns have not
been received. In consequence of
this delay, the announcement of the
population of the several states cannot
be made <or some days. The count
up to this time shows an aggregate of
02,695,955 nnd when tho entire count
is finished, the population of the coun
try, according to Porter's eslimntc,
will he nbout 04,000,000, an increase
of nbout 30 per cent, during the de
cade.
During the coming week the entire
force of the census office, except such
as will be engaged iu computation,
will be employed in settling the ae
counts of enumerators.
A Counterfeit $20 Bill-
Washington, Aug. 10.—The secret
service is advised of the appearance
in the south of a very poor counterfeit
820 silver certificate. It is of the act
of Feb. 28, 1S78, series 1880, check
letter C. B. K. Bruce, register, A. W.
Wyman, treasurer, with a portrait of
Decatur. The entire impression is
very imlistiuct and has not the ap
pearance of Imviug undergone what is
known as the washing process.
Upon reading the above, we ner
vously yanked out onr pocket hook to
see if it contained any twenties. It
did not—nor any tens, or fives, for
that matter. It is needless to add
that wo felt very much relieved.
Beware of the good deacon who be
gins to smile on you at this season of
the year. Ten to one he wants to, bor
row your children to take to the cir
cus.—Elmira Gazette.
