While heie last winter he purchased the-beautifui lot facing on Clay, Broad and Madison ’ streets. He had the .old buildings moved from the ground and at once employ ed Mr. Miller, the well-known con tractor and builder, to prepare plans for a winter residence. . The result of Mr. Miller’s work is the elegant new house, which now takes the place of the old dilapidated building that occupied ihe pr,raises' a lew months ago. The new house is a gem of modern architecture. The outside appearaoce of the building is beautiful and unpos. tug. wh-Ic the interior arrangement embraces ail the modern appliances andcontrivances for convenience and comiort that the genius aod necessity of man can suggesi.

The two lower floors will have a natural pine wainscoting above which wili be plastered. There arc electric call be'ls, speaking tubes, etc., throughout the house; The building fitted up with gas ani water, with an electrical arrangement whereby any gas light iu the bouse can be lighted by simply pr^seiug n buttor. In the basement or cellar are rooms with concrete floors for laundry, stoi** iog electric battery, etc. Nearly eve^ ry room in the house opens out info aq open balcany. These balconies are on every side of the building and add much to the outside attractive ness of the place. A wide verauda goes almost around the entire house on the ground ffoor. The grounds will bs beautifully laid ofl and planted in shrubbery. On Madison street, just to the left of the house, is a large, beautifully finished bowling alley and shooting gallery, and between this and the house a lawn tennis court is being laid ofl. In the rear of the bowling alley is the barn and water tower.' ’ Mr. Miller commenced work on the building on the second of June, and is under contract to have it finished by November 1st. He sajs he will have it done by that time, and when it is completed there will not be a house in South Georgia to compare with it. Ms. Keep, as stated above, is Strong friend and admirer ol Thomas ville, and he has given orders that everything needed in the construction of this model dwelling must, as far as possible, be bougbt in the town. He doe^not want a dollar’s worth of ma terial ordered from abroad if it can be avoided. This is the kind of a citizen that does a town good and we take especial pleasure in welcoming Mr, Keep to citizenship. He Had a Blind Tiger. Deputy United States Sheriff Hurst left yesterday morning for Macon, having in charge John Bodi« ford, white, whom he arrested the day before for running a blind tiger abouljive miles, from Cairo. Bodi- ford will be taken before the United States Commissioner for preliminary, examination. It is said that the evi dence against him. is very strong and that there is little donbt of his conviction. There is also a likelihood of his being tried tor illicit distilling, it is said, bat We'do not know how much evidence can be gotten against him on this charge. “liSt orhee’s bill posses, olv banks to issue cur- ofU-3.

Mr. Hurst thinlts he shot the man, but is not certain. Spencer alwaya carries a Winches ter rifle, and for this reason many think that it was not him, ait the party who shot Air. Jones used ashot- gua. This, however, is mere specu lation. It h possible that Spencer carries a shotgun at night, as it be used a great deal more effectually in the dark. If not Spencer it was evidently some of his crowd. Mr. Hurst and the officers ate more de termined than ever to catch the ne gro now, and we do not think he will be allowed his liberty much longer. Since the above was written we learn that Mr. Solomon Chastain, who lives near the place where the shoot ing took place, went to the scene of tbe shooting yesterday morning and found three 44 calibre Winchester shells. This is the calibre of Spencer’s un, andjt is .said that he has the only gun of that calibre in that sec tion What a Physician Has to Say of the Hagey Institute. It is with unfeigned pleasure that I write to bear testimony of the won derful curative power of the Bi-chlo ride of Gold treatment over the liquor habit. I have been a periodical drinker for the last four or five years, aod when I entered yoor Institute I was almost a physical wreck from tho excessive use of intoxicating liqnors. My digestive organs were in a terri ble state, failing absolntely to per form their proper functions. I was suiiering from alcoholic gastritis, and therefore could retain nothing on my stomach, ia fact I -was doubtful whether or not I would survive to Teap.the benefits of the treatment, but at the expiration of three days I began to improve, my digestive pow- ers began to strengthen, my .nervous system (which previous to that time was far below par), began to tone up, my complexion became clearer, and I felt like a new' man, feeling as though I had been ‘completely reno vated. haying a perfect disgust for liquors, all taste and desire passed away. I returned to my little family the happiest man on' earth. The “Hagey Bi-chloride of Goid'j treatment js wonderful!—bat true nevertheless. It saved my life, and I hope it may save many others, and make many homes which- are ion- mealed by the awful curse, as happy as miuc i- uow. Wishing you abund ant success, I remain, .

They could not eu.er it but by means ot field glasses they discovered, straDge to say, that there was a living creature tolerant ot its unusual conditions. - The creature exists in the form of a catlike animal except that it has large hind and small fore legs like the long tailed kangaroo. Third, the ruins of ’be habitations ot the Cliff Builders, rhe existence of this race of creatures antedates that of the American Indians. Tney probably lived at or before the time when the builders ofthe mounds found in the South were reaping the benefits of that glorious land. Their houses were built hundreds of feet up ia the cre- vases of rough and rugged .canons where it seems almost impossible for the mao of today to climb. They evidently possessed the activity of squirrels. Hundreds of rooms appear to have existed in some of the build ings, going to show that they were diminutive in statue yet capable of accomplishing f.-ats in building beyond the ingenuity of the present day Fourth, that sect of fanatics called “Penitents”.who inhabit Taos, a town in the mountains of New Mexico; forty miles from any railroad. Each year they do penitence by impersonating the crucfixioD. In case there is no volunteer lots are draw to decide who shall be crucified. The volunteer, or the lucky one, I say lucky for they deem 11 a great privilege, is nailed to the cross which is erected high up in a craggy mountain to which they have crawled on hands and knees with nothing but their under clothing on and their whole heads done up in darkveils. After a time the crucified is taken down and sometimes he dies from his wounds, There ’is also in New Mexico a sect who'each year about the birthday of Christ, select a maiden and a young child and as far as practicable duplicate thet birth 4n the manger, then as Mary and Christ, the two are worshipped. Perhaps it is not knqwn that at the dose of the Mexican war, Americana liberated a lot of camels which the government had procured- for war services. They arejtet living and in- cteasmg. They are seldom seen as they inhabit that desert waste in north-' era Arizona upon which many a man and beast has laid his weary bones to rest as the result cf the” absence ‘of water. -Few have ever taken water sufficient for a journey across tips desert and great has been the suffer ing therefrom. I rejoice that.I am not m that scorched region now that I am wearing my heaviest winter un der aod orer clothes. The transition from the heat of loon to the. bold of night here is.too sudden and great to suit me. Of course every, state and section haa its attractions and discom forts but after a good deal of traVel during the pist twenty years I have comedo the conclusion that Georgia has fewer discomforts and more" attrac tions thao any other stale iu the Union. -1 believe I would rather be’ dead in Thomasville than alive any where else.

King-said he would have Spencer before twelve o’clock the next day, and the chances are he would had it not been for ‘the shooting which took place that night between parties who were looking for Spencer and an unknown man, which scared the fugitive off. King saw Spencer- and told him that he had plenty of whiskey, but that it would not do to drink oat theie. au.1 for him to meet him at the Oquina creek early yesterday morning and they would have a big frolic. Spencer kept the appointment and it wasn’t long before’King and Drayton had him drunk. They got his gun and pistol away from him and removed the shells, alter which all- was plain sailing.' While stupid with liquor they persuaded him to come to town with them. When they, started in Drayton tied'him with a rope and went ahead, while King reloaded Spencer’s gun and fallowed behind. In this manner they came to town and surrendered the man to the Sheriff. When the reporter saw Spencer he waa still drunk and talking a gued deal. He said tharhv was tired of being hunted down; that he did not want to kill anybody and did not want anybody to kill him, - and ao concluded to give hjmselt up. 1 He further said that he was not the in who shot at Mr. Hurst- and Mr. Jones on Monday night. He claims to have been three milea away from tjie place where the shooting took place, ’ ,-, mi j . • Everybody is glad that the despesa. do has been captured, and. Sheriff Doss is highly complimented on thp manner in which he has handled the case. It was thought to be impossible to catch the negro -without shooting him, but our worthy Sheriff has sue-’ ceeded in dying jto. He has never quit working on the case, but. kepi thoroughly posted as to the negro’s movements, and at the proper time sprung the trap which placed him in his pttWer.

Extracts From a Newport Let- t.i ter. Newport, July 22,1393, You ask me to tell you where rest can. be found? combined with a little pleasurable excitement for young and old; what is the surest place to restore tired neryes and recruit waning strength? Of all the country and seashore resorts of which I have knowledge, the New Cliff’s Hotel, at Newport, R. I., where we have been last summer and this, seems fitted to Bttfefyyou. It is the only hotel at Newport (“that garden by the sea”) which has ocean views: It is not so 'a hotel as a cosey, comfortab’e home, with its most excellent mans agement, who do all in their power to make their guests happy; patient with their fancies and demands; and eager to have all who go there helped and cheered. Outside the gay world in some respects, but with sufficient em ployment and amusement for reason* able beings. Jb this not a good an- ■wer to your question ? Ifyouaskfor a fuller description of this beautiful place, I can only say yon must see it for yourself to do it justice. No pen and ink portrait can give you an idea of its many charms and attractions. you were only by my side, sitting on the broad Loggia of the New Cliff’s Hotel, gazing through the ffowersdocked arches over the smooth iatyn, put upon tbe ocean sparkling in the morning light, you would feel that it was like a glimpse qf Paradise.
