‘The First Baptist church of Troy.

Georgia Hay Shipped North.
The Savaa uh No** brings this
important mtel igence:
Fort Valley, Ga., S-pt. 22,—In a
few days N. Dei zen & Bro. will ship
a carload of finely cur» d and baled
Georgia crab grass hiy to Chatianoo-
aa, Tenn., and in a tew days Capt. J.
B. James, manager for acveral Ohio
syndicates, will ship a carload of the
same grade of hay to Ohi<>- It is
claimed that this hay is better, when
properly cured, than timothy, and can
be grown, cured, etc , at about one-
half the coat ot timothy.
Messrs Dei'zen & Bros consign
ment of hay will be used on the stock
f*rm of a Tennessee horse ureedrr.

have b *en ur<mg the importance ofrhe

paled lha'. Georg a wouM be shipping
hay to Tennessee a«»o O no in the
year 1893. This y a: is no’atle for
the fact that western c.r.i has been a
drug in our Gcorg’a markets, because
ot the abundance of the home made
article. Now it is further signal zed
by the shiment of hay to S ates which

goes on a few years we will see the
day when the farmer will be the

The above furnishes lood for thought
to the farmers of Thomas county. For
years we have advised that greater
attention be paid to the growing of
grasses, believing that hay making
could be made profitable by simply
supplying the home demand. We
never anticipated iu becoming an
article of export and especially to lha
regions so* long famous for their fiae
grasses and abundant hay crops, but
even this seems not an i ^possibility.
It is certain that our native grasses—
crab-grass, crowfoot and bermuda—
when properly cured makes most
excellent hay, and many who have
fed both, prefer it to timothy. We
are glad to see that this crop receives
more attention each year, and should
it ultimately rival timothy it will be
come the best payiog crop in the
South. But should nothing more
result than the gru\v*ng enough for
home coasump’ion it wi.l be a saving
of many dollars to Thomas county.

The Story of Alabama.
“Alabama,” by Augustus Thomas,
is au idyll of the bayou borders. It
brings with it the soft airs and the
dreamy quietude of the somnolent
south. If appears to the eye with
a series of pictures, breathing chiv
alry and. sentiment to the ear with
the musical dialect whose spell is
potent and to the mind a harmonious
blending of all the mellowing ■ influ
ences. There is, moreover, a eigoifi
cance in the success of “Alabama"
which must neither be overlooked nor
misunderstood by those who observe
the stage with the eyes of earnest well
wishers. Mr. ThomasT play is a bold
step in the direction of the ideal.
Other aathore have kept to beaten
piths. Mr. Thomas has thrown
aside threatricalism and aU the clap
trap that the term embraces and has
written a drama upon simple uncon
ventional lines. He has demonstrated
that art need not be artificial and
that love not even in these times
divested of idyllic thought or sweet
soul quality. ' “Alabama” is a story
of the south. It u domestic in char-
acter add is said to be so true to na
ture that it seems'as if the author had
carved out a slice of “Alabama" and
set it on the stage. It is a story with
some of the incidents dating back to
the ^ar. Briefly told the scheme ot
“Alabama” is: Col. Preston, an old
planter, is the father, of Harry Pres
ton, a railroad projector who comes
to the place under the name of Capt.
Davenport. He chose the side of
the north during the' war, and so
became estranged from his father,

ALEXANDER PUT IN JAIL
Marshal Hancock, ot Metcalfe,
came in yesterday on the noon train
haying in charge Gus Alexander, one
of jlie negroes figuring in the explo
sion and burglary as to'd by our cor
respondent above The negro we a
wrapped up iu a quilt and was lay
ing on the fi >ur ia the baggage car
whh a handkerchief over his face
when the reporter entered the car.
The handkerchief was removed by
some one and disclosed to view one of
the wont looking sights imaginable-
Ihe facj was burned black and was
swollen until the eyes could scarcely
be opened at all. Hia hands and feet
were io a similar condition. He
could talk but the most persistent
inquiry fai'ed to get much out of
him. He looked as tkough he had
encountered the butt end oi a fourth
of July celebration. Marshal Han
cock turned his prisoner over to
Sheriff Doss, who locked him up.
Notwithstanding Alexander’s horrible
appearance, and his apparent inabili
ty to help himself in the least, h9 had
no sooner been locked up than he
expressed a desire to eat, and upon
bsiog supplied with food, devoured it
with an avidity not to be expected of
one in his condition.
Alexander stated to Marshal Han
cock that there was no one connected
with the robbery of Mr. Rushiu’s store
but Shade Lee and himself. He
says they both went into the store
and both carried ont the goods
and that no one else knew anything
about it* At the rime of the explo
don he says that be and Shade were
engaged in dividing the powder.
Marshal Hancock also stated that
Shade’s wife was shot in the leg by a
gun which was discharged by the ex
plosion, and that her burns were
slight. The Marshal arrested Alex
ander at. the house where the explo
sion occurred, and says that the
prisoner had a shotgun, a rifle and six
pistols in the bouse.
Alexander is considered a desper
ado in the neighborhood about Met-
calfe^and a number of crimes are laid
at his door. He will be kept in jail
until court meets, but will be given
the proper medical attention.
Referring to the fact that the dem*
ocrats in the senate would not, for the
reason that he needs no defense, reply
to Stewart’s assault on the president,
Mr. Voorhees uaid yesterday :
Whatever criticism the senator
from Nevada might have indu'ged in,
the American peop'e had not shared
that criticism with him. Nobody
was perfect. Human nature was
infirm. The lufiiest characters were
not infa'libK But he ventured to
say that in American hietory the
career of Grover Cleveland, his char
acter, his achievements, his honor,
patriotism aud his abilities
would stand in the foremost lme, in
spite of a l the assaults which had
been made. Whether senators dif
fered from Mr. Cleveland or agreed
with him, nobody failed to recognize
his stalwart and powerful character
and his high integrity. He hoped
that this little tribute would be taken
as sufficient to account for the fact
that the democratic side of the cham
her would not feel called upon to
enter upon any defense of the presi
dent unless something far more im
portant was charged against him than
had been charged up to this time.
Just foil of impiovemcnts—Dr. Pierce’s
Picasant Pellets. To begin with, they’re
the smallest, and file easiest to take. They’re
tiny, sugar-coated anti-bilious granules,
scarcely larger than mustard seeds. Every
child is reapy for them. Y
Then, after they’re taken, instead of dis
turbing and shocking the system, they act
a mild, easy, and natural way, There'8
i chance for any reaction afterward- Their
ilp lasts. Constipation, Indigestion, Sit
us Attacks, Sick or Bilious Headaches,
and all derangements of tie liver, stomach
and bowels, are promptly relieved and per
manently cured.
They’re put up iu gl«;SJ vials, which keep
them always freeh and reliable, unlike the
ordinary pills in .wood.-n or pasteboard
And they’re the cheapest pills you can
buy, for they’re guaranteed to give satisfac
tion, or your money is relu n«d.
p ry only for the good you get.
Puck gets off some good thing*
besides fun. Here is an instance:

ever enlisted in the Confederate ser
vice—twenty, eight years after the
c’ose of the war.”
