"Well, Hennery, I am sorry to And S u in this fix,” as he tiptoed into the rkened room at. the house of the bad boy, where he found him in bed, propped op with pillows, ft pallor on his face that was fnghtful, and a general look of goue- ne83. Your pa tells me you have been yck nearly a week. I thought things at things at the grocery were going along in a solemn sort of a manner. Don*! hurt you to talk to you, does it ?” and the groceryman leaked for a chair to sit down in. “Naw, it don’t hurt,” said the had Boy, as he motioned to a chair, and the froceryman sat down. “If talking will nil me I would have been dead long ago. By the way, I wish vou would hand me that mustard plaster.' You will find it in tho chair you are sitting on,” and the boy smiled a sickly smile, while the groccrj man got up as though he was In a hurry, and apologized for sitting on and th ?. pl “ ter - “No apology necessary,” said the bad boy. “When anybody comes to flee me they are welcome to the w. / an —T*T5T. I Hi 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. . , S.

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 ing sick that takes the cake? Toucan lay and sleep, or raise up and cough. And then, the beautiful medicine the doctor leaves! I take it because it pleas es the doctor. He is a nice man, but I don’t think a man can feel of your pulse and listen to the mocking bird in your heart by holding his ear on your shirt, and tell what is the matter with you. Gimme a drink. Now I want you to do some things for me, as I may not pull through, and pa is so busy in politics that he can’t attend to anything. Are yon there, Moriarity?’’ “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 goods. In a day or two you will be out as good ss new, making it interesting for all of us. What wasthe hired girl laugh ing at when she let me in f She said something about searing the folks out of seven year’s growth, just before you were taken sick," and the groceryman 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 nights, since he has got to working the ward for alderman. You see, he conies in all times of the night, and tries to k -ep still so as not to wake ma up. Ill comes 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 once, and she said ail right, so I waited 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 frightened out of bed, and there stood ma laughing just as hard as she could, and pa had crawled under the bed with only nis feet sticking out, and I think ho was‘now I lay me down tosleejn’ 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. ... • tsrCAPITAL PRIZE, $75,000-® Til Cfi 0*11 V*8 Y1 Q* Tloksttoaly AS. sham in SwporOoo. the Blood.

Come in again boss, and when I get well I will come over to the grocery and talk to you till you are sick,” and the bad boy rolled over to go to sleep, while the grocery- man went out believing that nothing less than a cannon bail would kill the bad boy. 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. jn fSsflkt m Capt. M. B.

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.

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. DANIELSVILLE DOINGS. Special Corrcepontlenee Banncr-H’achnan. Danielsville, March 10.—An arduous session of our superior court has just closed, and still there remains much business on the dockets. Hon. E. H. Pottle is one of the most able and efficient judges in the slate, and Col. James A. Harley, though on his first round as solici tor, discharges his duties as if train ed in the office. Col. Harley made many friends here among his new acquaintances. Our grand jury recommended improvements in court house and re pairs on jail. This is right, as our court house is a disgrace and the jail worthless. The county treasurer’s report shows cash on hand $2,365.96. No debts. * We are able to build a court house. Uncle Johnnie Landers, one of our oldest and most honored citi zens, was buried at Lystra, on the 8th. He was for perhaps fiftyyears a consistent member of the tive Baptist church. Mr. William Daniel, a stout young man of 22 years, ten days ago, a picture of health, was buried on the 9th at Jones’ chapel. He was married 12 months, and his wife is a widow at 16. At the same time and place was buried Miss Lizzie Martin. These deaths occurred within two days and neither of the p»rties was sick longer than a week. Cols. John J. Strickland and C. B. Henry are attending court this week at Elberton. It is reported that one of our at torneys will lead to the altar one of Danielsville's fair daughters.
