LEFT TEXAS.
We vesterclay saw a letter from
Mr. E. T. Hale, formerly of this
county, lie states that owing to
sickncst he moved from near Waco,
Texas, to Green county, Mo., with
which county he is very much
pleased, lie says provisions are
plentiful and cheap—corn, 25 cents:
flour, $2.50 pei 100; Irish and
sweet potatoes 25 cents and pork 5
cents. He says Missouri isa great
provision country.
ECONOMICAL.
We learn that Judge Nicholson,
the first year after the close of the
war, bought a load of lightwood for
kindling purposes. He has used it
ever since, and has still enough, we
hear, to last him for three years.
Judge Nicholson is one of the truest
and best men in Athens.
A rAClAL CONTORTIONIST.
On the place of Mr. Rob Moon,
in Oconee county, is quite a curios
ity in the way of a little darkey-
He is a full-blooded negro, with
■ enormous white eves, pearly teeth
and immense mouth. The boy can
draw his face into an exact repre
sentation of a rabbit, and go through
all the various expressions of that
animal.
GEORGIA LANDS.
In talking with a prominent and
successful planter the other day
about Texas, he remarked: “In
Georgia 1 can take eight hands and
make more cotton, corn, peas, pota
toes, small grain, etc., than the same
number can gather, with anything
like moderate seasons. Now what
is the use of leaving good water,
health and society to move else
where, when you can grow right
here in Georgia all that you can har
vest?” There is good logic in this
argument, and our Texas-struck
friends would do well to put it in
their pipes and smoke it.
A rORTDNE STORED AWAY.
There is living in our city, a gen

“Say, mister,” said the bad boy to
the groeeryman, ns lie came in burying
his face in a California pear, “it Is
mighty kind of you to give away sneli
nice pears as this, but Fdon't see how
you can afford it. 1 have seec more than
twenty people stop und rend your sign

" W hat’s that,” said the groeeryman,
turning pale and starting lorthedoor,
where lie found a woodsawyer taking u
pear. “Getaway from there,” and lie
drove the woodsaaver away and came
in with a sign in his bund, on which
was printed, 'Take one.' "1 painted

Hint lias passed this morning lias taken

groeeryman looked at tile had hoy with
a glance that was full of lurking suspi
cion.
“.No, sir-roe,” said the boy. as he
wiped the jieur juice off ins face on a
piece of tell |utper, “1 have quit all kinds
oi foolishness, and wouldn’t play a joke
on a graven image. Hull went to the
Sullivan boxing match all tlie same
though,” and the hoy put up his hands
like a prize lighter and bucked the gro-
eeryinan up against a molasses barrel,
and made him beg.
“O, say,” said llie groeeryman, confi-
dentiaily, “there is u rumor that our
minister is a reformed prize fighter, and
an old maid that was in here yesterday
says lie lias been light'og with your pa.
I'o toll know anything about it?”
“Know anything about it ? 1 know all
about it. It was me that brought about
the meeting between them," and the
boy douged away Irom an imaginary op

Judge Walker is going to Texas.
Some of the best men in the county
are going to Texas. “Blue Whis

Ccntreville. A great many reports
of spoilt meat—damp weather is
the cause. Gypsies are doing So
cial Circle. A preacher only re
ceived fourteen dollars for preach
ing to a church this year. There is
odds that he goes to bed hungry.
Monroe is soon to have a telegraph
office. The News is making pre
parations to drop all of its subscrib

right. The subscribers feel better
and the editor feels a great deal bet

paid up in front. Three jail birds
in Monroe jail came very near get
ting out. A great many horse races
have been run near Good Hope.
A NOVEL WEDDING.
DYING OF CONSUMPTION.
ThA Approaching Death of Prank Jarre*—Bit
Wire-* Watchlol Caro.
St. Louts, Mo., November 24.—
Frank James, the noted outlaw, is in
very low health, and Charles P.
Johnson, one of his attorneys, to-day
said that in all probability before
the courts settled the case the dis
tinguished defendant would be call
ed before a higher tribunal. What
makes the situation for Frank all
the more gloomy is that his finances
arc very low, and that he is forced
to change his once luxurious mode
of living. In strange contrast are
his present surroundings when
compared with those of a year ago.
There is no strip of Brussels carpet
on the floor of his cell now. The
paintings and bric-a-brac have dis
appeared from the walls, the mahog
any bedstead, the writing desk and
most of the hooks have gone.
When the outlaw was brought back
from Gallatin three weeks ago to
the Independence jail he was assign
cd to one of the small cells, 6 by 6,
not alone, but to share it with
another prisoner. The furnishing
a insists of a pine board for a table,
two rough hunks and two stools.
Frank looks nothing like the man
of a year ago. The clearness of the
eye and the brightness of the com
plexion have gone. He is a little
more stooped than he was. The
checks are sallow and thinner.
The loss of fifty pounds tell
on a figure not burdened with too
much flesh. He looks grave when
lie talks about his health, and says
it is doubtful if another November
will find a prisoner, no matter what
the course of the courts.
The faithful wife, once pretty
Annie Ralston,comes every day five
miles from her father's home to sit
awhile in the afternoon with her
husband. Chatting sociably with
your correspondent they told the
story of their courtship. Portions
of it will he entirely new to the pub
lie. The first meeting between
them was ten years ago. Annie
Ralston was a school girl. On her
way home one evening she had
stopped to play croquet with a com
panion. Two young men rode up.
both armed, as was no uncommon
thing in Jackson county in those
days. One was the soil of a
neighbor the other was an entire
stranger to the girls. The neigh
bor’s son introduced his companion
ttndet a fictitious name, and both of
the men engaged in the game. The
romance of the meeting went home
to the girlish hearts, and other
meetings followed. Colonel Ral
ston at length discovered the iden
tity of his daughter's visitor and
sternly forbade him from coming to
the house again. The young man
and maiden still met occasionally at
the houses of Neighbors until Annie
went some miles from home to
teach a country school. Then Frank
James met her almost nightly and
they were betrothed. Finishing the
term of her teaching engagement
she went home, only to leave again
after a brief stay, on the plea of go
ing to visit relatives in Nebraska.
A year passed without news of An
nie. The story of a visit to Ne
braska had been merely a ruse.
One night Frank James rode up
to the Ralston farm Itouse, announc
ed that Annie and he were married,
and suggested that the proper thing
for the old folks to do was to for
give, and permit Annie to make a
visit home. The -Colonel, a man
not used to having his wishes
thwarted, answered by bidding the
outlaw get away from his gate at
once. Frank only lingered to say
that they would not hear from their
daughter again for ten years and
then galloped away. The threat
was well nigh fulfilled, for it was
not till eight years had passed that
the Ralstons heard from the lost
one. About 11 o'clock one gloomy
night two years ago there was
knocking at the farm house door,
and when it was opened there stood
Annie James with her little hoy, 5
years old. Frank is now waiting
trial for the Blue Cut robbery.
married -
Miss Sallic Cook, of Jasper coun
tv, who has been living with Mrs.
Ising for several months, was
courted and Won by Mr. Henderson
Smith, and married to him on Sun
day last, at the residence of Mrs.
G. VV. King, by the Rav. T. A.
Harris. Mrs. King, with her well-
known hospitality, had thrown open
her entire house, prepared for the
ceremony and was ready to receive
the guests of the occasion hut Miss
Sallic preferred the big
road at the well-known race
track at Greer's lane. To groom
had no objection what place he
married at so he got Miss Sallie. So
they were married in the big road,
notwithstsnding a heavy rain was
falling, much to the disgust of
Mrs. King and the spectators who
think this quite an innovatiou of
Clarke county marriages.
NORTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE.
This body representing (16.094

Dalton next Wednesday. It con

is, preachers who are pastors, and

year $24,275,40 for missions; $S,
754.3° for old preachers and the

tised and S,t 12 received to member
ship, 5,343 on profession of faith and
2,769 by certificate. This church is
only one of the Methodist churc

great work. We have not the
statistics of the other churches.

lie said lie was out of practice, and lie
did not know Imt it would cause talk in
the church it it should get out that lie
had Is'cn boxing with one of the mem
bers. hut pu told him that nobody would
ever know it, and it would do them hotli
good, and so the minister took off his
coat, let his suspenders hang down,
rolled up his sleeves, and they put on
the gloves. I tell you it was fun for ns
hoys, and 1 enjoyed it better Ilian a cir
cus. l‘u is a pretty hard hitter, hut he
hasn’t got the wind the minister has.
I'u pranced around, and kept his I'ace
guarded, cause lie didn.t want l > have
to preach w ith a black eye, but po tty
soon pa made a pass at the preacher and
look hint 'biff' right on the nose, but lie
rallied and laid otic on pa’s stomach,
nnd made pu grunt. The blow on tbc
nose made the minister perspire, and he
was more excited than I ever saw him
when he was preaching, and he danced
around pu until he got a good chance
anil then he landed one nil pa’s eye, and
the other under pa’s ear, and pa gave
him one on the eye, and they clinched,
and the minister got pa’s head under hi*
arm and was giving it to pa real hard,
just as ins and three sisters of the church
came down the cellar to look at mil’s
canned fruit, mid the minister got pa's
legs tangled and threw him against ma
and they both went into 11 clothes bas
ket of wet clothes, and nut yelled '|»>-
lioe,’ and she scratched pa on the side
of tiie face, and the minister turned sud
denly and one glove hit a deacon’s wife
on the bangs and knocked the hair off, j
and the minister was excited ami he
said ‘whoop! I'm a had man. This
makes me think of when 1 was on the
turf,’ and the women yelled murder.
Mu picked pa out of the clothes basket,
and held his head, and wiped his bloody
nose on a pillow ease, and pa was mail
at the minister fur striking so hard, and
the minister said he wouldn’t have
struck hard only pa pasted him on the
nose, and pa said it was no such thing,
and referred to my chum, who was ref
eree. and the women all said it was a
perfect shame to see a minister descend
to become a slugger, and I guess they
are going to bring the minister up before
the committee and bounce him. We all
got on our coats and went up stairs, nnd
finally ma furnished some court plaster
for the minister’s nose, and he went
home w ith two of the sisters, though
they insisted that he should wear soft
gloves, so if lie got on a boxing tantrum
on the way home he couldn’t hurt them.
Tiie minister felt real had aliout hurl
ing pa, and pa says he will never attend
that eliurch again, us lie should feel all
the time as though the minister would
lie liable to escape from tiie pulpit and
knock him out in one round. If tiie
women had kept out of the cellar nobodv
would ever have k town anything about
it, hut it is all over town now. Say, do
von think it is right for a minister Jo
hide ids talents under a bushel, or
should he put on the gloves when mem

“By gum, I don't know," said the
roceryman. “But if I was a minister,

JZETEORICSHOWER. -
The shower predicted a week or
two ago in these columns has been
seen for several nights in many
places over the country. A friend
tells us that on Tuesday he saw as
many as a hundred in an hour.
This always happens in November
and August.
Mr. O. L. B. Lester, one of the
champion farmers of our county
will leave next week for his place in
Paulding county, which will he his
future home. Mr. L., by his gentle
manly deportment, has made many
friends in our section who will be
sorry to hear of his removal.

AN ELECTRIC MOTOR.
Running a Locomotors Without Firs ot steam.
Saratoga, N. Y., Nov. 24, 1883.
An electric railway motor was suc
cessfully tested, in presence of four
thousand people, here to-day, in
cluding about one hundred guests
from New York city. The test was
made on the Saratoga and Mount
McGregor Railroad, a third rail in
the centre of the track having been
laid for the purpose. This rail was
charged from an electrical machine
in a neighboring factory, and about
four o’clock the motor came down
from the engine house with one
passenger car loaded with guests at
tached. The inventor turned the
electric- 1 switch on the motor and
it moved ofTamid cheers from the
spectators. It pulled the load as
far as the track had been prepared
at a speed of about ten miles an
hour. On the return the motor,
which is quite light, weighing only
about two tons, jumped the track
while going twenty miles an hour
around a sharp curve. It was con
siderably damaged and several per
sons were thrown off, but no one
was injured.
is rumored that Colonel Mar-
cellus Thornton is going to start a
newspaper in Atlanta.

BLACK LEAD.
Madison county is now looming
up as one of the mining counties of
Georgia. We have received sever
al letters in regard to the mica mine
of Messrs. Dudley & Drake. Old
Madison has plenty of mineral and
we hope to see it developed. We
were shown yesterday some speci
mens of black lead f graphite) from
Brown's place which is said to be
a very laTgc solid vein. We hope
this black lead mine can be turned
to some use, as it is vciy plentiful in
Madison county.
Explained At La*l-
Knoxville Tribune: Convicts in
excavating a tunnel in the West-
stone Mountains, on the Ducktown
branch of the Western North Car
olina railroad, twenty-two miles
west of Webster, broke through a
shell rock and found themselves in
an immense cavern. It is asserted
that the cave has the beauty of the
famous Luray caverns, with much
greater size. Not a great distance
from the cave is Bald Mountain,
from whence strange noises and
rumblings proceed at times, whose
origin has been so much discussed.
The causes of these noises is simply
the falling of enormous masses of
limestone rock from the roof of the
mighty cavern,
We hope this settles the question
and that we’ll never hear the Bald
Mountain volcano mentioned Again.
The newly discovered cave is about
forty miles from, Knoxville and only
a few miles from the lirie of the
proposed Rabun Gap railroad.

DRY TETTER.
For years 1 was afflicted with Dry Tetter of the
m<»*t obstinate type: was treated by many of the
best physicians: took quantities of mercurv, pot
ash and ars< nlc. which.instead of curing the tet
ter. crippled me up with mineral poison and
rheumatism. The tetter continued to grow worse.
and almost made me cnucy. In this condition 1
was induced to lake Swift s Specific, and the re
sult was as astonishing as lt was gratifying. In a
lew months the tetter was entirely well, the mer
curial poisoning all oat of tar system and 1 was a
well man—and due only to Swift** Specific. All
like sufferers should take It.

WHAT A PHYSICIAN SAYS-
CrnKis Ridgk, Monroe, Co., Ark., Jane, 23, *83
1 have a bright little daughter who will be two
years old next month. Sue has been troubled
nearly ever since her birth with a skin disease,
which 1 first diagnosed chicken-pox, but later
found It to be some sort of ecsema; at any rate
It resisted stubbornly all tne different treatments.
I procured one bottle of Swift's Specific and rave
it to her In small doses three times a day. and Iu
a short while had the satisfsrtioa to see that she
was entirely well. 1 am so well pleased with its
effects on her that I shall not only use it in my
practice, but 1 shall administer it to my other
children and take it my«4 If.
