Money.
A prominent lawyer in an adja
cent county took a trip out west
last summer and invested $5,000
in lots in a new Texas town. Last
week he sold out his property for
an advance ot 100 per cent., having
'cleared $5,000 on the transaction.
He says there is more money in
speculating in western lands than in
the law.
Quick Divorce.
A justice of the peace in a lower
county struck a bonanza in divorc
ing colored couples until his new
industry was broken up. He made
the parties who desired to have
bans sundered stand up before him
and delivered the following oration:
"Whom God hath joined together
I now bust asunder. Give me a
dollar.” His clients were perfectly
satisfied.
Insuring Against Cyclones.
We see that an insurance agent
in Greeenesboro, Ga., is offering to
take risks against loss of property
by cyclones at a small rate. Several
ladies in this section are confined to
bed with nervous prostration, after
reading accounts of their ravages.
It is reported that one lady in Ath
ens, during the high wind the other
night, sought refuge in her flower
pit, while a physician has taken time
by the forelock and excavated a
storm retreat neat his dwelling.
Tramp Politician.
There is a woman going around
through the country pretending to
be learning ladies how to cut and
fit dresses, but from what we can
learn she is flhding out how the re
publican party stands, and is writ
ing a great many letters from each
place she visits to Blaine, Conk-
ling and other radical leaders. She
makes her headquarters mostly in
small towns. At Watkinsville she
mailed quite a number of letters to
parties up north.
Got Hung on Scripture.
They tell a good story on an Ath
ens lawyer at Danielsville court last
week. He wanted to reprove an
opponent for keeping a negro wit
ness hid out, and recited a narrative
about Isaac tying a goat out on a
mountain, which the Lord chanced
to And and thus saved Abraham
from slaughter. Harley, the new
Solicitor, informed his brother law
yer that he had not only his names
badly ftiixed, hut actually cast a re
flection upon the Almighty by in
sinuating that it was necessary to
provide Him with an animal by hu-
man agency.
Cyclone Sufferers.
Charlie Nash, wife and
iers, were in town yesterday
hying 'furniture and clothing
Irs. Nash has not as yet recovered
from her injuries, but i» able to
walk about. Of eleven buildings on
this place there was not enough
sound lumber left to erect the small
est shanty. Even the sills were
splintered and pieces of lumber
carried over a mile. Mr. Nash says
he saw the house when it went
down from over his family, and his
feelings at the horrible sight were
indescribable. How any of the
family escaped is a mystery. His
aunt was the only death that re
suited.
The Rutledge Scandal.
Augusta Chronicle: “A fiendish
crime is alledged to have been per-
S etrated by a father against his
aughter, at Rutledge, in Morgan
county, last fall. The father, when
so publicly charged by the daugh
ter, took flight, to escape an enrag
ed mob. The daughter was before
the grand jury, this week, persisting
in the charge. It is a revolting idea
that a father could be capable of so
diabolical a deed, aud equally re
volting that a daughter could he ca
pable of making a false charge in a
matter so damaging in its conse
quences. The grand jury have dis
posed of this horrible thing by a
•no bill,’ and we are rejoiced they
found it their duty to do so.”
A Slander on Jackson.
The Police Gazette prints a cut
alledged to represent a gander pull
ing in Jackson county, in this state,
and says it is a sample of the
amusements of Georgians, who by
law refuse to permit the sale of that
paper in its limits. Gander pullings
are of rare occurrence in this state.
In justice to our sister county we
will state that the gander pulling
referred to did not take place in
Jackson, but was gotten up by one
man In another county. The good
people where it occurred were in
dignant and gave the horrible sport
neither countenance nor encourage
ment The Police Gazette will find
far better material for its'licentious
columns by illustrating a few of
the hellish crimes perpetrated at the
North—those home-made Ohio
atiffs, for instance.

Hennery applied tho platter to his chest,
and asked the grocerymad t,to hand him
a box of pills on the table. The groce
ryman hand the boy a box of pills and a
I pass of water, and he took a small hand
ful of pills and a swallow of water,
smacked his lips and said.
“Ah 1 A nectar fit for the gods. Do
you know there is something about be

Gimme a drink. Now I want you to do
some things for me, as I may not pull

that he can’t attend to anything. Are

“Yes, yes.” said the groeervman, as
he saw the boy had something he want
ed to say, “out with it now, aud I will
doanything you ask me to.”
“Well, you know that man without
any legs, that plays the hand organ
down on the corner. I want vou to
take my skates to him and tell h’im—”
“Great heavens,” said the grocery-
man, “what do you want to send a pair
of skates to a man that hasn’t got any
legs for?”
“Don’t interrupt the speaker," said
the bad boy, as he took a pill for a
change. “Take the skates to him, and
tell him I lend them to him till I get
well. He has got three bovs, and they
are too poor to buy skates arid they can
take turns using mine, and I shall not
miss them, for if I live the skating will
be all gone before I get out doors, and if
die there will be no skating where I am
going.”
O, say, hnsh up now,” said the gro
ceryman. “Yon are not half as sick as
you think you are, and there is no hurry
about your dividing up your worldly

thought if he could get the sick bov to
talk about something funnv it would
cure him.
“Well," said the boy, as he laughed
so the skin was drawn across his pinch
ed face, “It was awful mean but ma
wanted to know what time pa got home

ward for alderman. You see, he conies
in all times of the night, and tries to k -ep

in and undresses in the dark, and retires
and ma don’t wake up. I have got a
friend working in a jewelry store, and I
got him to lend me. six of these little
alarm clocks, and I wound them all up,
and placed tnem around in the house
where I could touch them otf when pa
came in. I put one on the hat rack and
when pa came in just after midnight I
touched it off just as he put his hat on
on the rack and I crept half way up the
stairs in the dim light. Pa was trying
to be quiet, and when that alarm went off
he looked sick. He didn’t know what it
was, but he just stood still, with his ov
ercoat half off, and waited for the thing
to rundown, and he was listening all
the time to see if ma woke up. 1 had
told ma to pretend to be asleep until the
last one went off, which I had placed
on tho foot of the bed, and then for her
to get up and begin to throw chairs. Pa
started up stairs as soon as the clock
stopped, In his stocking feet, and just as
he got half way up tho steps I touched
off the second alarm, and pa stopped
and I went np to the head of the stairs
to get another one ready. Pa got hold
of the clock and tried to stop its noise by
holding it under his coat, and he listen
ed for masome more, but ma didn’t show
up. When the clock got through sput
tering pa came on up stairs, and at the
top the third one went off, and then he
was mad. He thought that would wake
ma sure, but she snored right along
through it all, and pa breathed hard ana
said some political words. When that
stopped I slipped into the bed room and
whispered to ma that I was going to let
all three going to let fall three go off at

till pa got part of his clothes off, wheu I
turned on all three of them, and I slipp
ed out in the hall, and then I began to
hear chairs tumble around, and pa be
gan to beg. I guess he thought there
was a caucus. When the chairs had all
been throwed I turned up the gas in the
hall and came in as though I had been

A MOORISH VBDUCTION.
How an American and an FncUilrnian kaecaed a
Girl From Slavery,
The following incident of Moor
ish life, which occurred a few weeks
ago, thoroughly illustrates the state
of insecurity to which the natives
are subject, and which appears to
be the normal condition of their ex
istence in Morocco. One day an
4merican and an English officer
were riding along the beach, and
when about two miles from Tangier
perceived a group of fisherman who
appeared to have some altercation
with a trucelent looking Moore,
armed with the usual long (firelock.
On seeing the horsemen (approach
some four or fivejmen, accompanied
bv a pretty looking Moorish girl of
about seventeen years of age, sepa
rated from the girl and called out
that the armed Moor had been try
ing to carry off the girl by force,
threatening at the same time to kill
her if she resisted. While this ex
planation was going on the man of
whom the complaint was made had
taken to his heels, and, being a good
runner, had gained a considerable
distance when the two gentlemen
rode after him.
A LONG CHASE.
Finding himself closely pursued
he fnade for a river, which he wad
ed up to his middle. His pursuers
plunged in afterward, and on being
hard pressed the Moor again waded
the river. Three times this mana>-
vre was executed, but at last the two
gentlemen came up with the fugi
tive, whom they captured and dis
armed. They then gave the fellow
in charge to the fisherman, who had
now arrived on the spot, having
followed the chase on foot, and sent
him, accompanied by the Moorish
girl, to the fort, where the Khalifa
administers justice. The girl, Rach-
ma Halfsoutz by name, stated that
about two months ago she was en
ticed by two women to take a walk
with them on {he beach. When a
short distance from the town two
armed men suddenly made their ap
pearance and carried her off by force
to the village of El Menaar. Here
the men were joined by a third, and
she was detained by them, being
subjected to brutal outrages.
CAPTIVITY AND ESCAPE.
After about a fortnight she was
taken in the village of Imgogha, and
from that to Beni Hassan. -near
Tetuan, where her captors met a
party of mountaineers, and now the
girl discovered from from a conver
sation which she overheard that an
arrangement was being made to sell
her as a slave to these men. The
bargain, however, not being com
pleted at once she was taken to a
village near Torre Clanquille, on
the coast and not far from Tangier.
During the temporary absence of
two of the Moors the captive con
trived to elude the vigilance of the
third and secured his poniard, which
she concealed about her person, in
tending to defend herself if driven
to extremity. She then slipped
quietly out of the village, and, once
clear, ran as fast as she was able in
the direction of Tangier. After
her departure some time elapsed
before the man in whose charge the
girl had been left discovered that
she had made her escape; but then,
having armed himself with a loaded
gun he started in hot pursuit, over
taking her on the beach, where she
had encountered some fishermen,
who were drawing in their nets,
and from whom she implored pro
tection. Judging from her account,
she appears to have received the
most brutal'tr'eatment while a pris
oner, as she was constantly required
to go through the native* Moorish
dances; but, not being always able
to perform these to the satisfaction
of her persecutors, they used, she
affirms, to switch her severely, and
certainly the condition of the girl’s
legs bear testimony to their having
undergone very harsh treatment.
The man, who is now in prison, Ali
Ajneeah, is a well known desperate
character. Before this he has been
successfully engaged in tlie enter
prise of carrying off women for the
purpose of selling them to the in
habitants of the mountain villages,
and he has also been guilty of va
rious murders, among others that
of a young native woman, who re
sisted him in his attempt At forcible-
abduction.
THE MODERN Cl
POISONING IN RABUN COUNTY.
A Wife's Attempt to Poison Bor Holland.
A reporter of the Banner-Watch
man was out on the hunt yesterday
after an item, when he ran across a
gentleman from Rabun county,
who was in search of Prof. White;
and after giving directions where
to find the State Chemist, we saw
that something was wrong up in
Rabim and asked him what he was
after. The party at once gave us
the history of what is supposed to
be a fearful case case of poisoning,
but which could not be determined’
until Prof. White can analyze the
eatables which he brought with
him.
My name is James P. Bramlett,
and my brother Thomas J. Bramlett
is the person who was poisoned.
Ha and his wife do not live.in that
happy style that married people
should. About two years ago she
cooked a meal for him and after
eating it he came very near dying,
and since that time feels confident
that his wife gave him a dose to
cut off his earthly career. Last
week Mr. Bramlett was going off
on a trip and told his wife to cook
him some provisions and send it
down where he was, by the chil
dren. His wife cooked the provis
ions and sent word for him to come
after it, or that if he could not come
that she would come and bring it
her self. From this Mr. Bramlett
became suspicious that there was
something wrong, as she was afraid
to trust the provisions with the
children. He got the meat and
bread, put them in a trunk and sent
Mr. Thomas P. Bramlett down to
our city to have an analysis made,
and upon this rests the case. If
Prof. White can find any trace of
poison in the food Mrs. Bramlett
will be arrested. Mr. Brarnlet
promises to write us the full partic
ulars when he gets back to his
mountain home.

LOKED MASONIC LODGES.
Buffalo, N. Y„ March, 1SS4.—
A report having gained general cre
dence that the colored men of this
city had in working order several
Masonic lodges, which were institu
ted by one Charles E. Newton, who
gained considerable notoriety as the
first colored man on the city police
force, but who was removed for
cause, the following facts, which
are generally unknown to the fra
ternity of this city were obtained
from Newton:
He claims to be working under a
charter issued on September 28,
1874, by Henry Frederick, Duke of
Cumberland, claimed as Grand
Master of Masons at that timf,
which was granted to Prince Hall
and other colored men. The lodg
es in this city are, Lodge of St.
Johns, No. 16, Master Masons, for
ty members; Erie Chapter, Royal
Arch Masons, No. 10, twenty mem
bers; Simon Commandeiy, Knights
Templar, twenty-two members;
Rose Croix Lodge, of the Scottish
rite, seventeen members; Lodge of
the Sublime Prince of the Royal
Secret, six members, one of whom
claims to be a thirty-two degree
Mason. The colored brethren are
jubilant over the success of their dif
ferent lodges, which they claim are
growing rapidly and doing regular
work.

Dr. Bttlh, <^T Jug Tavern Bfcmo, Speaks Oul.
Our sductum was lighted up yes
terday by the smiling and pink-hued
face of Dr. Wiley Bush, the hero of
Jug Tavern. The Doctor at once
made himself at home by spitting
on the stove, borrowing our best
handkerchief and throwing his bea
ver in the paste pot.
“What lay are you on now, Doc?”
we inquired, as we gazed at his
nose and compared it with John
•Weir’s when he had a bile on it.
“Well, I am down here trying to
raise about $50,000 on rny stoex
company, and want the people of
Athens to get the benefit of it. I
guarantee them to double their in
vestment. I have made several
thousand dollars on the Bush burn
medicine, and I want to show you a
letter from Joe Brown.” The Doc
tor went down in all of his pockets,
producing a half pint flask and a
pack of letters that looked as if
they had been fished out of a mud
hole. The Doctor read us a few
passages from the Senator and
changed the subject to railroads.
“How does the Jug Tavern road
seem to progress?”
“Oh, 1 have built that road and it
is the biggest thing on record. I
started to talking up the railroad
and selling burn medicine, and you
see that I have completed it. After
I had it well talked up, Allen Can
dler came along and we raised the
money to do the work.”
We informed the Doctor that we
thought Athens would build a road
to Jefferson instead of Jug Tavern.
“It don’t make a bit of difference
to me,” he replied. “I am going to
build another road down to High
Shoals and will go to Atlanta and
get the Lawrenceville road extend
ed to Jug Tavern. 'It is a very
easy matter for trie to have a rail
road built, and if I had turned my
attention In the direction of Athens
it would have been finished before
now. I have 1,100 acres of land
that 1 am offering for one hundred
thousand dollars, bnt don’t think I
would sell if I was offered my
price.”
We inquired ofthe higb-notioned
Doctor in regard to the whisky traf
fic in his city.
“We have one bar room in Jug
Tavern, but it won’t last long. I
never have been in it; don’t know
whether they are doing much or
not. I believe in setting a good
example to the rising generation and
never go around liquor shops.”
The Doctor at this juncture be
came dry and wended nis way to
where he could quench his thirst.

ATHENS & JEFFERSON.
A Now Railroad.Enterp rite for Athens that Bids
Fair ot Success.
For several days there have been
rumors of a new railroad boom for
Athens, but it was not until yester
day that we were at liberty to make
it public. Even now all arrange
ments are not completed, but affairs
have progressed far enough to war
rant our making known the pro
gramme. It is now proposed to
abandon the Athens & Western
project, and in lieu thereof build the
Jefferson road. The Central syndi
cate has signified its readiness to
iron and equip the line as soon as it
is graded and the cross-ties are
down. As an offset to the disad
vantage over the Jug Tavern route
it is now proposed to give Athens
the same rate of freiglitt from that
point as Social Circle and Gaines
ville will enjoy. The new road is to
be run in connection with the G.,
J. & S., through trains between this
city and Gainesville, with the Social
Circle road acting as a branch. The
friends of this scheme argue that
the Jefferson road can be gotten
ready for the iron at a cost of about
$20,000. If Athens raises $15,000
Jefferson and the country through
which it passes will complete the
amount. It can be in operation by
next fall. While most of our
people agree that the Jug
Tavern route would be
better for Athens, it is not known
as yet who would be willing to
equip it, even in the event that we
succeed in raising money enough
to grade and cross-tie it. The ne
cessity of connection with the nar-
row-guage system encircling us on
the west is imperative and pressing,
and our city qannot afford to delay;
that a half loaf is better than no
loaf. Again, that the guarantee
given -us by the Georgia road will
put Athens on as good a footing as
had she built direct to Jug Tavern.
Several of the staunchest advocates
of the latter route are now in favor
of the Jefferson connection, as it is
certain, while the other might delay
us for years. There is another
strong incentive that we do not
think it prudent at this time to giv e
The money to insure the Jefferson
line can readily be raised and with
but little trouble, as the stockhold
ers in the A. & W., with but few
exceptions, will cheerfully transfer
their subscriptions to this route.
The Banner-Watchman is not par
tial to either route, but we do urge
the necessity of our city tapping
the G., J. & S., without further de
lay. Let us centre on the route that
we can build and equip by next fall
and not waste further time in idle
discussion.

A PHYSICIAN
Who is very extensively and favorably known
throughout the Southern States says:
Slow action and uncertain effect havealways
been the two pr at obstacles In the cure of Blood
Diseases; bnt they have been overcome by the
use of B. B. B., Which 1 have nse«l with signal
success for the cure of Scrofula. Kidney Affec
tions, Skin Diseases, Syphilitic Complaints,
Catarrh, etc.
Its action has been so direct and powerful
that one single bottle has often effected an
entire cure. As an appetizer and general tonic
I have never known Its equal. It Is well adapted
to the Scrofalous Diathesis of Infants, and does
not contain vegetable or mineral poison.
Dtirlug a practice of 35 years I have never
used a blood remedy so speedy in action; as It
has proven to be a giant remedy of absolute
certainty, and I cheerfully recommend It as
worthy of public confidence. Its wonderful
cures are too numerous and too glaring to ad
mit of doubt. j. p. Dbomooolk, m. D.,
Atlanta, Ga.
If afflicted with any form of Blood Poison,
call for B. B. B., the only qnlck Blood Purifier
known; and don’t permit old, slow remedies to
be palmed off upon yon. I-arge bottles 81-90. *

The gentleman who outlines hi* case below is
a man considerably advanced in life, and is not
ed for his sterling integrity. His pcwtoffice is
Yatesville, Upson county, Ga. The following is
Mr. John Pearson’s Statement:
In the spring of 1882 I|wss attaeded with a very
bad cough, which continued to grow worse until
fall, when I got so weak that I could not get
about. Itrieaagreat many kinds of medicine
but continued to grow worse. I was notified that
I had consumption and would probably dls. Dr
Holloway finally told me to try Brower’s Lung
Restorer. Th ay sent to Ward's store and got a
bottle and I commenced taking it right away.
After taking two or three doses, I began to Im
prove, and by the time I had used un one bottle
I was able to get on my feet again. I am now In
excellent health. I am confident that the Lung
Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of
the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy
ever made in my opinion. Dr. H. promised me
that he would write to the manufacturers an
tell them of the wonderfhl cure it made in md
case. feb26
