That Baptism.—There were eighteen
colored troops baptized Sunday. Tlie
preacher had some trouble trying to get
one subject to put his head under the

tulating with the convert, one of his as
sistants caught the convert by the wool
and ducked him any how, without cere

number of wild turkeys ever killed by
him at one shot was thirteen. Come on

lowing note: “I won this money un

stricken penitents.
A Summer Resort.—With a little
advertising judiciously expended, our
hotels and boarding houses could be
filled with tourists next summer,
Athens can offer far superior induce
ments to Gainesville as a summer re
sort, and our manifold advantages
should be made known to the world.
These tourists is a new enterprise that
needs developing.
Our First Hotel When Athens
was a little rustic hamlet, with about
two dozen inhabitants, an old gentle
man kept a hoetelery on the site of
the Sunimey lot, that was known as
Swinging Limb Tavern.” The land
lord was the first man in Georgia to
put sugar in his guests’ liquor, and
hence he was known throughout the
State as “Sweetened Liquor John.
Fruit Injured.—A gentleman who
yesterday examined the fruit crop tells
ua that the plums are ail killed, and the
early-blooming peaches badly injured.
Apples are just blooming, ami conse
quently are all right thus far. But if

A Petition.—The operatives of the
Athens Factory have petitioned Mr.
Bloomfield to allow them to work four
and a half days per week, and quit Fri
days at 12 o’clock, thus allowing them a
day and a half, instead of the plan first
proposed, by which they were to work
three-fourths of each day. Mr. Bloom
field has consented aud the new regime
went into operation on Monday, the
3d iustant.
Bit by a Dog.—A little colored boy,
named Billie Mayfield, was last Sunday
attacked by a ferocious bull-dog belong
ing to Mr. Michael, and the child’s arm
torn to pieces. The boy had crawled un
der Mr. Michael’s kitchen to catch
stray chicken, when the dog attacked
him and before help arrived the child
was badly lascerated. The child’s moth
er threatened to poison the dog, although
her child went into Mr. Michael’s yard
where he did not live.
r . Church Trouble.—'Ibere is consider
able trouble over tlie river with a colored
church about keeping the preacher at
home. We interviewed the deacon yes
terday with the following result:. The
aforesaid deacon says, “de great difficult
is bout de preacher dat dem country ulg-
gers feede him on biscuits an chicken
an* it ’taint no use toyin' to keep de
preacher at home long as dem other nig
gers offers rich ’ducements as dat ”
The North-Eastern Extension.—We
learn that the North-Eastern now con
templates stopping about one mile this
ride of Tallulah Falla, which will require
travoUers to go* mile and a half by pri
▼ateconveyauceto reach the hotel. The
authorities are being urged to carry the
road to its destination at once, as it will
be a great source of inconvenience not to
doao. Work is progressing very rapid
ly, and the contract will be completed
before the time stipulated.
A subscriber from Royston sent

Playing With a Snake.—On
Sunday morning last Mrs. George
Mason, on Oconee street, on stepping
out into the front yard, discovered her
tittle child, about eighteen months old,
in the act of picking up a snake that
had crawled from beneath the house.
The reptile was dispatched and the
little one saved from its fangs. Snakes
are unusually numerous this spring.
Gov. Lumpkin's Grave.—We are
told that the grave of Gov. Wilson
Lumpkin, who gave to the city the
ground for Oconee cemetery, is un
marked—simply a bank of fed clay des
ignating the spot where sleeps one of
Georgia’s purest and ablest statesmen
This is a reflection upon not only the
State, but the gratitude of Athens.
Our people should see that a shaft is
reared over tlie grave of this great and
good man.
A Slight Change.—In a speech at
Mr. Seab Davenport’s, in Oconee coun
ty, before our eminent Congressman
deserted his fold, he made use of the
following words: “This Independent
movement is but a trick of the Radical
party, and will yet put some big,
buck, flat-nosed nigger into office”—
winding up with a glowing tribute to
the Organized Democracy. Mr. Na
than Cook tells us that he heard Mr.
Speer use these identical words.
Cheap. Houses.—Some of the
cheapest houses ever erected are being
now built in Athens. Among the va
rious designs is a neat six-room cot
tage, with one chimney in middle and
fire-place in comer of each room, that
costs only five hundred dollars com
plete. We weri also shown a very
pretty three-room cottage that can be
built for two hundred and fifty dol
lars. It is strange that our laboring
classes don't, save money and build
their own houses instead of paying ex
tortionate rents. There is no cheaper
place in the South to bnlld than
Athens.

ment. No man in Athens has the in
terest of our city more at heart than

TUipadge.
Last Sunday was a lovely, spring
like day, and we were tempted to ful
fill a long-promised visit and spend
the morning with our especial friend,
Mr. John E. Talmadge, better known
to his friends as “Pipe.” This gentle
man,is one of our livest merchants,
and having made a handsome little
fortune decided that he would gratify
his taste by running a small farm near
the city. So a few years ago he
bought about one hundred acres of
land in the beautiful suburban village
of Cobbham, and has been devoting
his leisure time to improving and
adorning the same, and how well he
has succeeded one must see his beau
tiful place to appreciate. His house
set* back in a cool grove, and is sur
rounded by undulating fields and
green pastures, filled with sleek, well-
fed stock. After a short rest we Inti
mated a wish to be shown over the
premises, when our friend kindly con
sented, and first led us into his yard
where was grazing on the blue-grass
beneath the trees four fine Jersey
calves. They are pure blooded and
registered, with a pedigree that even
some of the English nobility might
envy.
“These calves,” said Mr. T., sing
ling out a herd of young heifers, “could
not be bought for $300. In fact, I was
offered $100 for one of them as soon as
it was dropped. I will now show you
the mothers of these calves.”
Passing through a gate we entered
a lot sown in orchard grass and clover,
\vhere we found grazing four of the
mild-eyed Jerseys, about which so
much has beer, said and written.
They were as trim as deer, with eyes
like the gazelle, the picture of bovine
health and happiness.
“Bertha Washington there is my
best milker,” explained Mr. Tal-
raadge, “for she yields three gallons
of tlie richest kind of cream a day.
She was born on Washington’s birth
day, and hence the name. Lady Hel
en is also a tfery fine unimal, while
the other two are almost os good. In
fact, I do not think you could find
four better cows in the South. Be
sides supplying my family with all
the milk aud butter we use, I last
week sold fifteen pounds at thirty-
five cents. This pays for tlieir feed,
and I make the milk and butter for
home consumption, besides the in
crease, clear.
‘Where did you first get your start
in cattle?” we asked.
“I bought them from the most re
liable breeder ill Tennessee, and they
are all registered and can trace an un
blemished ancestry as far back as the
most aristocratic bovine in the land.
I have other Jerseys,” continued our
friend, “but they are dry now.”
Mr. Talmadge next carried us to his
lot where is kept his famous Berkshire
hogs. “These,” he continued, “are
of the finest breed, I having paid $25
apiece for small pigs to get my start.
I have now thirty-one pigs that will
soon be ready to ship, that I sell for
$5 each very readily. In fact, I have
a number of orders now ahead. That
hog you see there is a Red Jersey,
that cost me about $50, but it cannot
compare with my Berkshires, so I
shall slaughter it. I have placed a
Berkshire and a razor-back pig, of the
same age, in pens, fed them alike,and
at the end of a year the Berkshire just
doubled the razor-back In- weight.
They are healthy and thrifty, and
the very hogs for this country. 1 keep
always five brood sows, raising pigs
for market.”
We never saw a prettier rural sight
than these large litters of broad-back
ed, frisky little pigs, up to their sides
In sweet, lucious clover, upon which
they fed.
“Now let me show you my chick
ens. I raise only the Plymouth Rock,
and keep a few Bramah hens for set
ting purposes, as the former breed is
too large and heavy to hatch well. I
sell a great many eggs, and occasion
ally a trio of the fowls. * It costs no
more *o raise them than the dung
hills, while they grow twice as large,
and are equal to any fowls as an arti
cle of food.”
We next Inspected the large new
barn that our friend had just erected.
It is both roomy and airy, with plenty
of space for forage and corn, and a stall
for every horse, cow and calf on the
place. Pipe allows none of his stock
to be exposed to the inclemency of the
weather, and says a good shelter saves
half the feed. In his barn, which was
designed by the owner, we found the
strange sight of a big pile of ear-corn,
grown on the farm, as also oats
enough to feed the stock until the
next crop ripens. Mr. T . Intends to
have a wind-mill built, to furnish wa
ter for both his stock and domestic
purposes.
We next started over the farm, and
in the course of our pilgrimage passed
two fish-ponds that are being built.
One is stocked with carp and the oth
er beam and perch. They are fed by
living springs and so arranged that a
rippling little branch can be turned
into them if more water is needed.
“I shall set out an avenue of trees
from my house to these ponds, aud
build a bath-house here—but I found
so much to do on my farm that I have
not had much time for ornamenting
the place.” We passed though fields
of clover, orchard grass and oats,
and although the land seemed as
thin as earth ever gets to be the crops
were as fine as our eyes ever rested
upon. We suggested that a great deal
pf guano must be used?
v“No,” was the reply, “the only
commercial fertiliser I use is a little
acid for composting with cotton seed.
1 buy all the seed I can find, paying
from ten to twelve and a half cents per
bushel—and they are worth as a ma
nure twenty cento to any farmer. But
Icihefly depend on stable manure
that I purchase at seventy-five cents
for a two-hone wagon load. You will
soon aee how I spread it on.”
And we did. We passed through a
field undergoing this recuperating
treatment, and believe there was
enough piles dumped about to make a
solid layer over the whole ground
’Even his bottoms were not neglected.
“That hill-side over there I fertilized
last year, and you ought to see the
corn it grew. I put all my fertilizers
on broad-cast, and when I get through
with a field it will produce for years
without any further manure, but I al
ways keep it up. My bottoms, which
were but swamps when I bought the
place, have been all blind-ditched,and
are now perfectly dry.”
“Wlll you raise any cotton?” we In
quired.
“Not a all. I go for something to
eat and to feed my stock on. I can
raise a Jersey calf with far less trouble
and expense than a bale of cotton, and
it Is worth $100 an hour old. I have
an -acre planted in onions and will
plant two acres in potatoes, and Irish
even these crops pay better than cot
ton.”
It is certainly a treat to go over this
model farm. Everything is in its
place and there is a place for every
thing. The hill-sides have all been
ditched, so as to prevent the land
washing, gullies and washes
filled up, and every grain planted is
sure to return a yield.
Mr. Talmadge ought to be one of the
happiest men In Georgia. He is sur
rounded by all that goes to make life
enjoyable—a beautiful home, a devot
ed wife, a delightful family of “little
responsibilities,” and all the good
things of life fresh from his garden and
fields.
And let us right here say to our
farmers, if you wan’tto purchase fine
stock don't send to a distance for
them, as Mr. J. E..Talmadge can sup
ply you with as fine cows or hogs as any
ever raised, at less money than you
would have to pay some prominent
stock-raiser.

Ie Is said that this machine will grade

Last evening, about sundown, just
as our merchants were closing their
stores for the day, a report was clrcnla-
ed that a student had been killed by a
negro near the Court-house. We has
tened to the scene of the tragedy, and
in passing up Clayton street found a
large crowd of both whites and blacks
congregated in front of Miles John
son’s establishment, while the police
were endeavoring to make them dis
perse, bnt apparently without effect.
There was a dissatisfied look on the
faces of both sides, that seemed to bode
trouble if the flame was stirred. Frank
Johnson and Enoch Echols, the per
petrators of the outrage, were ones ted
and in the building, which caused the
assemblage of the crowd.
Passing on we started for tho Court
house, the scene of the shooting, but
met on the way a buggy, guarded by
students, containing the wounded
man, who proved to be Mr. Walter
Roundtree, of Quitman, Ga., and a
boarder with Mr. J. G. Edwards. It
was impossible, during the excite
ment, to get particulars of the unfor
tunate affair, but by interrogating
some young men who were witnesses
to the shooting, from some little dis
tance, we gained the following infor
mation:
It seems that there had been some
previous difficulty between Mr.
Roundtree and the negro Frank John
son (who is a son to Miles Johnson)
and on last evening, as several of the
students were taking a stroll, in dis
jointed parties, the said Johnson,
with a friend named Enoch Echols,
decided that they would have a bloody
settlement. So arming themselves
with pistols they started in pursuit of
these young men. In passing a pair
of students Johnson asked if they
could tell him the way the two Messrs.
Roundtree went. The young men,
susploioning nothing wrong, told
them the direction. Quickening their
pace Johnson remarked, “We’ll catch
them yet.” Mr. Allie Berckman says
he was some distance behind the two
young Roundtrees, and his attention
was attracted by a shooting in their
direction. He hastened forward just
in time to see the negroes with
pistols in their hands firing
at his friends. He did uot see the
two white men shoot,, but saw Mr.
Walter Roundtree fall.
Another student says the brother to
Mr. R. shot one time at Johnson. Dr.
Camuk, who also witnessed the affray,
does not think the young men attack
ed fired a shot. From what wo can
learn the negroes shot ot young
Roundtree seven times, one ball taking
effect back of the neck, breaking the
spinal column, and the wound must
necessarily prove fatal. Drs. Bene
dict and Gerdine are both attending
on the wounded man, and the latter
gentleman does not think his patient
can survive throughout the night, and
says that be cannot possibly last
many days, as he Is even now parol
ized from the breast down. His prin
cipal wound entered the back, rang
ing between the last cervical and the
first dorsal vertebra. After probing
the wound the doctors could not decide
whether the ball had entered the spi
nal marrow or not. It is reported
that he is also slightly wounded in
the head.
Up to the hour of going to press no
further disturbance has occurred. A
rather unnatural calm pervades
the students. The Faculty at
once repaired to the house of Mr. Ed
wards, and of course feel deep regret
at the occurrence. Everything Is be
ing done to alleviate the sufferings of
the young man.
Soon after their murderous deed
Johnson and Echols fl°d and took
refuge in Miles Johnson’s shop, where
they were arrested and afterwards
conveyed to jail.
This was one of the most deliberate,
unprovoked and bloody deeds ever
perpetrated in our midst. This young
man was unsuspectingly taking hiB
evening walk, when he is pursued and
shot down in cold blood by a negro for
some imaginary wrong. The perpe
trators are great Independent politi
cians, and we can trace in the whole
aflhir the damning result of Demo
cratic disunion and colored political
supremacy. We hope, however, that
our law-abiding citizens will crush
any steps toward overstepping the
bounds of the law, and let the murder
er and his abettor pay such penalty as
may be demanded by the courts of jus
tice. To-morrow we will give full
particulars, as our account to-night
had to be gathered from an excited
crowd, and it' was hard to get facts.
Mr. Roundtree requested that his
mother be telegraphed for, which
was done.
Dr. Camak followed up and caused
the arrest of the murderers.
Mr. Roundtree died Wednesday at
half-past ten o'clock.

is of a.striking nature, and emanates from
a reliable source, that it is herewith; re
published entire. In~addition ;td the
valuable matter it contains, it will be
found exceedingly interesting:
To the editor of the Democrat and Chronicle:
Sib:—My motive Tor the publication Of
the most unusual statements which fol
low are, first, gratitude for the fact th-l
1 have been saved from a most horrible
■leatli, and, secondly, a desire to warn
all prho read this statement against
some of the most desceptive Influences
by which they hare ever been surround
ed. It Is a fact that to-day thousands of
people are in a foot of the grave and
they do not kno.w It. To tell how I was
caught away from just this position and
to warn others against hearing it, are my
objects in this communication.
On the first day of June, 1881,1 lay at
my residence in this city Burreuuded by
my friends and wailing for death. Heav
en only knows the agony I' then endur
ed, for words cannot describe it. And
yet, If a few months previous, any oue
bad told me that 1 was to be brought so*
low, and by so terrible a disease I should
have scoffed at the idea. I had' always
been uncommonly strong and healthy,
and weighed over 200 pounds and hardly
knew, in my own experience what pain
and sickness were. Very many people
who read this statement realize at times
that they are unusually tired and cannot
account for it. They feel dull and inde
finite pains in various parts of the body
and do not understand it. Ur they ore
exceedingly hungry oue day and entirely
without appetite the next. This was
just the way I felt wheu the relentless
malady which fastened itself upon me
first began. Still 1 thought it was noth
ing; that probably I had taken a cold
which would scon pass away. 8hort ly
after this I noticed a dull, aud at times
neuralgic, pain in my head, but as it
would come one day and be goue the
next, I paid but tittle attention toil.
However, my stomach was out of order
a*>d my food often failed to digest, caus
ing at times great inconvenience. Yet,
1 had no idea, even as a physician, that
these things meant anythiug serious or
that a monstrous disease was becoming
fixed upon me. Candidly, I thought I
was suffering from Malaria and so doc
tored myselfaccordingiy. But I got no
better. 1 next noticed a peculiar color
and odor about the fluids I wass passing
—also that there were large guantitics
oue day and very tittle tlie next, and that
a persistent froth and scum appeared
upon the surface an t a sediment settled
in the bottom. And yet I did not real
ize auy danger, for, indeed, seeing these
symptoms continually, I finally became
accustomed to them, and my suspicion
was wholly disarmed by tho fact that I
had no pain in the affected organs or in
iu tlieir vicinity. Why I should have
been so blind 1 cannot understand.
There is a terrible future for all physi
cal neglect, and impending danger gen
erally brings a person to his senses even
though it may then be too late. I real
ized at last my critical condition and
tried myself to overcome it. And, oh,
how hard 1 tried! I consulted the best
medical skill in tue land. I visited all
the prominent mineral springs iu Amer
ica and traveled from Maine to Califor
nia. Still I grew worse. No two phy
sicians agreed as to my malady. One
said I was troubled with spinal irrita
tion ; another, nervous prostration; an
other, malaria; another, dyspepsia; an
other, heart disease; another, general
debility; another congestion of the base
of the brain; and so on through a long
list of common diseases, the symptoms
of all of which 1 really had. In this way
several years passed, during all of which
time I was stead ly growing worse. My
condition had really become pitiable.
The slight symptoms I at first experi
enced were developed Into terrible and
constant disorders—the little twigs of
pain had grown to oaks of agony. My
weight had becu reduced from 207 to 130
pounds. My life was a torture to my
self and friends. I eould retain no food
upon my stomach and lived wholly by
injections. I was a living mass of pain.
My pulse was uncontrollable. In my
agony I frequently fell upon the floor,
convulsively clutched tho carpet, and
prayed for death. Morphine had little
or no effect in deadening the pain. For
six days and nights I had the death-pre
monitory hiccoughs constantly. My
urine was filled with tube casts and al
bumen. I was struggling with Bright’s
Disease of the Kidneys in its last stages.
While suffering thus I received a call
from my pastor, the Rev. Dr. Foote,
rector of St. Paul’s Church, of this city.
I felt that it was our last tuterview, but
in the course of conversation he men
tioned a remedy of which I had heard
much but never used, Dr. Foote detail
ed to me the many remarkable cures
which had come under his- observation,
by means of this remedy and urged me
to try it. As a practicing physician and
a graduate of the schools, I cherished
the prejudice both natural and common
with all regular.practitioners, and de
rided the ides that any medicine outside
the regular channels being the least
beneficial. So solicitous, however, was
Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I
would waive my prejudice and try the
remedy he so highly recommended. I
began Its use on the first day of June and
took it according to directions. At first
it sickened me; bat this I thought a good
sign for one in my debilitated condition.
I continue 1 to take it; the sickeningsen-
Sitlon departed and I was able to retain
rood upon my stomach. In a few days I
noticed a decided change for the butter
as also did my wife and friends* My hic
coughs ceased and 1 experienced less
pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced
at this Improved condition that, upon
what I believed but a few days before
was my dying bed, I vowed, in the pres
ence of my family and friends, should I
ever recover I would both puhticly and
privately make known this remedy for
tlie good of humanity, wherever and
whenever I had an opportunity. I also
determined that I would give a coarse of
lectures in the Corinthian Academy of
Music, of this city, statisg In full the
symptoms and almost hopelessness of
my disease and the remarkable means by
which I have*been saved. My improve
ment was constant trora that time, and
iu less than three months I had gained
26 poutids in flesh, become entirely free
from pain and I believe I owe my life and
present condition wnolly to Warner’s
Safe Kidney and Liver Core, the remedy
which I used.
Since tny recovery I have thoroughly
re-investigated the subject of kidney dif
ficulties and Bright’s disease, and the
the truths developed are astounding. I
therefore state deliberately an das a phy
sic! an, 1 believe that more than one-half
ot the deaths which occur in America
are caused by Bright's disease of the
kidneys. This may sound like a rash
statement, but I am prepared to fully
verify it. .Bright’* disease has no dis
tinctive symptoms of its own. (indeed* it
often develops without any pain what
ever in the Mdneyaor their vicinity,) but
has the symptoms of nearly every other
known complaint. Hundreds of people
die daily, whose burials are authorized
by a physician’* certificate of “ Heart
Disease, “ Appoplexy,” ” Paralysis,”
“ Spinal Complaint;" “ Reumatism,”
“PUeumonia,” and other common com
plaints, when in reality It was Bright’s
disease of the Kidneys. Few physicians
and fewer people, realise the extent of
this disease or its dangerous and insidi
ous nature. It steals Into the system
tike a thief, manifests lta presence by
the commonest symptoms, and fastens
itself upon tlie constitution before the
victim is aware. It is nearly as heredi
tary as consumption, qhite as common
and fully as fatal. Entire families, in
heriting it from their ancestors, have
died, and yet none of the number, real
ized or knew titomysteriouspower which
was removing them. Instead of com
mon symptoms it often shows none what-
eevr, but brings death suddenly, and a*
such Is usually supposed to beassit tils*
ease. As one rno has StnTered,- and
knows by bitter experience whatho rays,
I implore every ona who reads these
words not to neglect the stightesUsymp-
toms of kidney difficulty. Certain agony
