so confused as to lose its reverence
for that which is good and holy, then
a man is in a sad plight indeed, and

The Water Tower.
The water was- yesterday drawn
from the tower, in order that the
leaks could be stopped. Major
Craig says it is a good job, and
holds better than he expected. The
day after the tower was filled the
water was flowing through the
waterway of the reservoir.

Water in the Tower.
The water was turned into the
tower yesterday morning. The
water is very muddy now but it will
soon be all right. This will keep a
heavy pressure on all the time so
that the firemen will be saved the
trouble of sending down to the en
gineer to put on the pressure. The
tower leaks very badly.
The Crazy Quilt Mania.
On. City, Pa., March 25.—A
Franklin physician reports that one
of his patients a young lady, has
gone literally crazy over a "crazy
quilt,” which she was working on.
No such unfortunate catastrophe
has as yet been recorded in Athens,
although several of our dry goods
merchants are tottering on the verge
of lunacy from being besieged for
samples of silk.
The Banks County Guards.
At a meeting (re-union) of the
surviving members gind friends of
the old Banks County Guards, of
“the war” fame, it was resolved that
the veterans, who went from the
county into any branch of the army
service, he invited to convene, agree
upon some plan to insure complete
associations and cordial relations
among themselves, and to adopt
proper measures to secure the full
est amount of information concern
ing the names and movements of
our soldier boys, to be recorded for
future references.

The Accuser Deranged and HI* wife innocent of
the Charge.
Several weeks since this paper
published an account of a Mrs.
Bramlett, of Rabun county, trying
to poison her husband, and that one
of the Bramletts had come to Ath
ens to get some of the bread and
meat analyzed by Prof. White. We
have had an interview with a gen
tleman from that section, and he
gives us the true version of the case.
He says that Thomas J. Bramlett
has had a great deal of trouble late
ly with the revenue officers, and has
been in jail in Atlanta for some
time, and that, together with other
troubles, has run him crazy and he
imagines that his wife is trying to
poison him all the time. Bramlett
is now hid in the mountains to keep
away from his wife, and threatens
t*o steal his children and go west.
Mrs. Bramlttt is a very nice lady
a nd has seven little children, with
uo one to support them, and is de
pendent on her father for every
thing she receives. Her brothers
stay at the house day and night, to
keep her husband from stealing the
children or doing her any harm.
There is no doubt about Bramlett
being crazy, as all ot his actions
show it. He has been hid in the
mountains for some time, and his
brother%carry him provisions. He
will probably be caught and taken
to the asylum before doing some se
rious damage.

Calumbia, March ao.—A spe
cial to the Daily Register,' from
Greeneviile, says: “A severe cy
clone passed over Anderson coun*
ty, near Piedmont, destroying the
house of A. M. Watson. Three of
his children are thought to be fatal
ly injured.
Louisviu.e, March 26.—A spe
cial to the Courier-Journal from
London, Ky.. says: “Aterriffic cy
clone passed near this place and
Pittsburg, two miles north of here,
about 4 p. m., yesterday. The
Methodist church was razed to the
ground and much other property
was damaged. At Pittsburg, Jim
Hallman, a brakeman, was blown
from a freight car and carried about
50 feet, lighting on his head in a
ereek. His neck was broke.
Three freight cars, two coal oil
tanks and a caboose were blown
from the track and several persons
were slightly injured. A little
cabin occupied by a family named
Broughton and her two little chil
dren were instantly killed. The
following persons are thought to be
.mortally wounded: Col. C. W.
Stringer, both legs broken and cut
in head; Mrs. C. W. Sturgis, hip
mashed; Robert Ridings, spinal
column broken and cut in head.
Charlotte, N. C., March 26.-
Specials to the Observer show that
last night’s storm was most severe
at Newton and Lenoir, fifty or sixty
miles northwest of here. At New
ton thirty houses were blown down.
The Methodist church was wreck
ed and the residences of Rev. Co-
ley Killian and Charles Jewett were
swept away. Cline and Williams’
flouring mills were partially de
stroyed. Mary Hunsucker was
killed and four other persons
wounded. Rumors from Lenoir
say that a whole family were killed
there. Six ladies are known to
have been killed at that place, but
the wires being down further par
ticulars could not he ascertained.
In Mecklenburg, five or six resi
dences were destroyed hut no lives
lost. The cyclona also passed
through Iredell county, doing much
damage to fruit trees and blowing
down many houses.
At Boyd, Ky., the cyclone was
very destructive, blowing down ev
ery thing in its path. The inmates
of the houses fled to the wells and
cellars.
The little village of Colemanville,
about 40 miles from Lexington,
Ky., was almost entirely destroyed.
Tenwere,killed and fifteen or twen
ty injured.
Near Dayton, Ohio,'the destruc
tion was general and frightful. The
loss of life is fearful.

bvtery of a part of Georgia, will be

Church in Union Point, commenc
ing on Wednesday before the first

through Sunday. The colored peo
ple are making preparations, and

The Far West.
Capt. D. C. Oliver has a son and
daughter farming in the Indian Ter
ritory, and they write home that it
is the garden spot of the universe.
The lands are fertile and the cli
mate all that could be desired. A
gentleman who has just returned
from a tour through Texas says that
the best lands are all taken up, and
emigrants sadly disappointed with
the outlook. He says by using the
same industry and economy in Geor
gia as you are forced to do in Tex
as that farmers can do much better
here.
A Sad Accident.
A sad and shocking accident oc
curred near Maysville on Tuesday.
Mr. S. H. Patillo, only son of Rev.
S. L. Patillo, while returning home
from a friend’s in a road cart, at
tempted to cross Still branch while
that stream was much swollen from
recent rains, and when the middle
of the branch was reached, the ve
hicle overturned, throwing Mr. Pa
tillo into the water and he was
drowned. He wore a heavy over
coat at the time and to this is attrib
uted his drowning. He was about
nineteen years of age.—Augusta

A Rat Tale.
A gentleman who is very relia
ble, tells us that in. Oconee county
a rat came down the side of a chim
ney and went to a lien’s nest close
by, got an egg out, wound his tail
around it and carried the same to
its nest in the chimney. Some of
the rocks were taken out to see
1 amp negro, while stealing a

Horrors of Mineral Poisoning.
I was suffering with Blood Pois
on, and treated with Mercury and
Potash, only to make me worse. The
Potash took away my appetite and
gave me dyspepsia, and both gave
me rheumatism. I then took Sar-
saparillas, etc. All these Sarsapa-
rillas have potash in them. Ini
made me still worse, as It drove the
poison still further into my system
A friend insisted that I should take
Swift’s Specific, and it cured me
sound and well of the Blood Poison
rove the Mercury and Potash out
f my system, and to-day I am as
ell as I ever was.

Alexander Cpnlesses.
The printer Alexander, who is
confined in Columbus for stealing a
watch, has made a confession to the
chief of police. He says that he
opened the trunk with a shoe but
toner and took the watch from the
tray. Chief Palmer is of the opin
ion, however, that the trunk was
unlocked with a key which he
found on Alexander’s person. Al
exander is still in the guard house,
and it is not yet known whether the
case will he settled or prosocuted.
as Mr. Wynn has gone to Chatta
hoochee to see the negro who was
first suspected of having stolen the
watch.
Last Notice.
I again call attention of all whom
it may concern, to Sec. 231 of the
general ordinances, which reads as
follows: “All persons having gates
which open upon sidewalk or street
of the city shall be required to se
cure such gate, either by roughts or
some other efficient means, so as
not to stand open upon said streets
or sidewalks at night. Any gate
found open in violation of this ordi
nance, the owner thereof upon con
fiction before the Mayor shall be
fined as provided in Sec. 56.”

DANIELSVILLE DOINGS.
Sallie Himmelrcich, a little giri,
13, of 92S. North Sixth street,
on Friday evening last was
thrown into a trance at a revival
meeting of the newly-organized sect
known as the Mennonite Brethren
in Christ, and who has since re
mained in a condition ot religious
exaltation* during which she de
scribes the beauties. She is in a
comatose state, hut when spoken to
answers verv intelligently in a
whisper. The most singular fea
ture is that the young girl had here
tofore possessed but very little
knowledge of the Bible and now
converses with any one on any chap
ter in . that book. A number of
questions were asked the girl to
night by a number of the ■ members
of the Mennonite Brethren, and to
the great surprise of all present she
answered them in a most intelligent
manner. She would invariably
hesitate a few moments before re
plying and when asked why she
would say, "Because I must first ask
Jesus.” ■
She is still lying on the couch on
the floor, with her arms outstretch
ed, and seems to be in her greatest
moments of joy when speaking of
Jesus. Then her face lights up with
smiles and ripples of laughter issue
from her lips. She has not yet been
able to give a connected story of
her glimpses into the unknown
land, and will not speak unless spo
ken to. She has not eaten any
thing since she fell into the trance,
and expresses no desire for any
food. F. B. Reinhold, a prominent
member of the Mennonite Brethren
in Christ, thinks that the girl’s con
dition is a direct visitation from
God, and that she will eventually re
gain her normal condition and be
able to tell her friends ot the many
beautiful things she saw in her
trance. He said it is not a case of
suspended animation, because her

persons called to see her to-day and
all regard it as a wonderful case.
Her breathing is heavy but natural
and her pulse regular.
In answer to the reporter’s ques
tion she said that she was in heaven
and that all who would be good
would follow her. She stated that
she had no desire to return and again
told him of the things she saw—
the golden streets of a beautiful
city; angels all dressed in white,-
with trumpets in their hands and
crowns on their foreheads, and Jesus
the central figure of all. The first
person she said she recognised in
heaven was Mary, the Mother of
Jesus. She is thoroughly impressed
with the belief that in order to be
come a true child of God one must
throw off all worldly pride. A gen
tleman who had just been received
into the church called to see her.
He wore a moustache and she told
him he would have to discard that
if he wanted to go to heaven. He

is an ancient field piece, dismount
ed, of course, as its caison had long

gun, weighing about 600 pounds,

well preserved. It had been bur
ied mLzzle downward in the ground

was used as A hitching post. There
are still several pieces of ordnance
in that vicinity that were used in
the revolution.. They are probably
from the old fort which once stood
near the Medway church, or from
that at Sunbury, in the vicinity of
which several battles were fought,
and from which Col. John McIn

I must tell you the old stoi y of
HARRY JACKSON’S COMPLIMENTS
Captain Harry Jackson’s candida
cy for congress recalls an interest
ing and unique incident of his war
career that will well bear repetition.
The incident is related, without, how
ever, giving the name, both in Gen
eral Hood’s book, “Advance and
Retreat,” and in Jefferson Davis’s
second volume of the ‘Rise and
Fall of the Confederacy,” page 340.
Captain Jackson was a youth of
15 when the war broke out, and
went to Virginia against the will of
his.father, General A. R. Lawton
staff. At the battle of Sharpshurg
Gen. Lawton was commanding
Ewell’s division September 17, 1862,
and had relieved Hood’s division in
Stonewall Jackson’s line. The fed-
erals made a desperate endeavor to
break through. Corps after corps
were hurled against the heroic di
vision. . General Lawton had but
one staff officer remaining with him,
Lieut. Jackson, and sent him to
General Hood for assistance. The
young staff officer dashed up to
General Hood, and in a curious and
typical demonstration of southern
boyish chivalry that maintained in
the most savage grimness of the
desperate strife its polite ohserv'
ance of ceremonious courtesy, said
to General Hood:
“General Lawton sends his com
pliments, with the request that
you come at once to his support.”
It tickled vastly the gallant Hood
and impressed him so much that he
detailed the incident in his book,
and Mr. Davis, equally delighted at
it, put it in his own important work,
though neither of them knew the
name of the gallant and ceremonious
aid. Lieut. Jackson conducted
Hood’s division to its place. Gen
eral Lawton and his horse were
both shot down in the terrific car
nage, and the youthful hero, who
now aspires to be a congressman,
had his beloved general borne from
the field, though several men were
wounded in so doing.—Constitu
tion.
how the late Charles Delmonico
used to talk about the new hot water
cure. He said the Delcnonicos were
the first to recommend it to guests
who complained of having no. ap
petite. “Take a cup of hot water
and lemon and you will feel better,”
was the formula adopted, and the
cup of hot water and lemon was
simply a little hot water with a
drop of lemon juice in it to take
away the insipidity. For this anti-
billious remedy the caterers charg
ed the price of a drink of their best
liquors—25 cents ot more—and it
certainly was a wiser way to spend
small change than in alcohol. “Few
people know how to cook water,”
Charles used to affirm. “The se
cret is in putting good, fresh water
into a neat kettle, already quite
warm, and setting the water to l>oil
quickly, and then taking it right
ofl'for use in tea, cofl'ee or other
drinks, before it is spoiled. To let
it steam and simmer and evaporate
until the good water,ts all jn the at
mosphere, and the lime and iron
and dregs only left in the kettle—
bah! that is what makes a great
many people sick, and is worse than
no water at all.” Evety lady who
reads this valuable recipe of a great
and careful cook should never for
get how to cook water.

negro man confined in the jail at
Waynesboro, accused of murdering
his four or five helpless children last
week with an axe, a full account of
which has appeared in the papers,
has acknowledged his guilt and
made a full confession of the crime.
His reason for the wholesale and
unnatural butchery, he says, was
because they were eating too much
bread and he could not afford to
furnish it. It is also rumored in
that section that the negroes, are ve
ry violent in expressions of condem
nations of the crime, and fears are
entertained that he will be taken
from jail and lynched by his own

peach-colored nettled silk, kept swing-

k with her except tho doctor, who
smiled pleasantly as he passed and said
something to which she aus.wefed with
it nod.
“Ophelia at last,” said Grayton to
himself; and in a melancholy vein he
wished that he were Hamlet, and could
lie at her feet and watch the play.
“Poor Ophelia! divided forherselfarid
her fair judgment! (the quotation was
irresistable). 1 wonder what sent her
here—some brute of a man, or a soldier
loved killed at Kassassin. Gracious! !
hope this terrible Meg Mcrrilics Is not’
going to ask me to dance!” and lie mov-.-
ed away as he saw a wild-eyed woman
bearing down upon him, to a sent some-,
whacnear the pale girl with, the'black-
red nose. 1 sol ve -OS
For a time he watched her; ilfen ho
tried to magnetize 'her..: At last their
eyes met: he stared her full in tlie face.'
She never shrank from his look, only a
sort of pityiug light seemed to glow in
the.sorrowful eyes. A moment! passed;'
and then she rose quietly and wlfli-per-
tect self-possessed gracd walked-over to
him—to his intense, nstonistliu'ent sat
down quietly by his side, anil said,, in a
soft musical voice:
“You seem sad to-night; I am Bor-
ry.” >‘U
For a moment he was tongue-tied:
then he recollected his Instructions and
pulled himseH together.
“Well, I was sad because you .were
looking sad.”
“Was I? I suppose I always do,'then.'
Of course, being here naturally makes
one feeling sad. But we won’t talk of
that," she added quickly. “Do you
care for dancing? I’ll dance with you, if
you like.”
“Dance! With you?”
“O, yes, if you like; many of the oth
ers dauce, you know:”
“How calmly she seems .to recognize
her state!” thought Grayton,ashest»qd
up and passed his arm around poor
Ophelia’s slender waist, won idetinghow
she would “jig and amble.” They were
playing the ‘Dream Faces,’ and as they
swung in undulated rhythm to the pret
ty soug, he felt that lew slips of sane 17
could come up to her.
“That’s right,” said the ‘doctor, en
couragingly : “set ■ s good example;’*
“Means I’m to be a tonic. I-suppoio-,”
thought Gray ton; so he carriedoff Ophe
lia for an ice.
“You dance beautifully,” she said.
|No, you sit down and PU get you. the
ices there, now, there’s a spoon aud a'
wafer; now you feel comfortable, don’t
you? Isn’t that a lovely. vsl8e?”
‘Yes, I’m fond of ‘Dream Faces;' the
people one meets In dreams are general
ly vastly nicer thaa the real folk. I have
many dream friends.”
“Have yon? she said, looking amused
‘tell me of them.’ ' ' T '* ‘ ■
“Well, you know, I think I’m
