His recovery is certainly wonderful. Organizing the Blaces—Several . of Labor, a few nights since, visited Poali, in Madison county, and or ganized a lodge of K. of L. among the negroes. They are visiting every coun ty in Georgia, and organizing lodges among the blacks. The Macon * Athens Road.—Hon. James M.

The air was cool and bracing and everything had a business like appearance. Entering the gate at the fair ground we noticed evidence of improvement going on in every part of the enclosure. The trees are being trimmed up, stumps taken out and the weeds cut All around. Down near the stables another well is being dug and the visitors need have no fear about having plenty of good, fresh water all the time. A large number of stalls will be put up in a few days to accommodate those al ready booked for the occasion. Chuck Anderson, from Marietta, the greatest trotting horse man in the South, will be here with a stable of trotting and racing horses, headed by Miss Cauley, who was at our last fair, and would have carried off the first prize if the track had been in good condition. Joe Bland, of N ashville, will also be on hand with a large number of trotters and runners. Other horse men from Kentucky and Tennessee have asked for stalls, besides quite a number from Georgia Athens will not ho be hind and will show some horses on the track that will be hard to down. After taking a tour through the grounds we visited the stable where Billy Downing, a celebrated Kentucky horse-trainer has Mr. Holman’s horses in charge. Mr. Downing has driven some of the fastest animal* in the North and West, and knows exactly what a trotting horse can stand to get him in good condition. He has all the stalls nicely kept and one of them is fitted up in fantastic style, with Funeral Notice.—The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. . .-. ..

Everybody knows and esteems Skiff the jeweler, while Mr. Car ter is n «’ serving young man, who will doubtless fill the office with entire satis faction. The Elberton Road.—Mr. C. E. Smith, of Washington, who has taken great interest in the railroad situation of this section, says there is no doubt about Athens getting the road extend ing through Elberton, and he would not he surprised if that line gets here even before the Macon & Athens. The Knights Indignant.—It is s*»id that only seven white Knights of Labor supported Mr. Russell. It was reported on the streets yesterday that some un kind comments were made on their ac tion, and there were threats of frith- ilrawing from the lodge and establishing a new one under another charter. Another Precinct.—The next session of tl|e Georgia legislature will be asked to establish another voting precinct in Athens than at the Qourt-house, owing to the inconvenience of the business men getting to it, and the great expense on candidates to hire carriages. The Pioneer hail will probably be the place selected. 'WIMM.Kli THROUGH THE MAILS. Ki.iiuksik, S* c„ Oct. 9.—[Special.] Wooten and Water were arrested here for try ng to swindle through the mails.

Mr. Holman has two three-yemr-old colts, whose grandsire was the celebrated “George Wilkes” are at the grounds and will be put in training. They have never been driven but a few times, and already show great speed. Some new horses will be carried out next week and put through a course. The merchants will make magnificent displays, and we have heard that John Ryan and John Keeley, the big dry goods men of Atlanta, will make a full display of their goods. People from all parts of the country will be present, and every accommodation necessary for their com fort will be made. Athens should do her best to make the fair a success, and we feel confident that if the ladies will li .id a helping hand it will be so.

Rather than give low rates to Madison when the Macon and Athens Railroad cornea, to that point, the Georgia Railroad’s policy would be to encourage cotton to Augus ta by lowering the local to that city on one side, or to Atlanta on the other. The Macon road could not make any special inducements to attract cotton down to Macon, for that city is not as mnch a cotton market as Athens. There would be absolutely no sense in building np a competing point at Madison and of putting up a compress there. The Georgia Rail road moves the best nart of the Athens cotton now and will continue to do so.

Harmony Grove, Oct. 7.—[Special.] The organized Democrats of Jackson county scored s big victory yesterday at the polls. The candidates tor the legis lature were Messrs T. E. Key, T. C. Williams. Claud Chandler and Dan Ma thews; Key and Williams being the Democratic nominees. A strong sup port, however, was given Messrs. Chan dler and Mathews, and some people pre dicted their election. Bnt the way the nominees snowed them under was a wonder. The following is the vote by districts: 3 to S a s Jefferson Harmony Grove Newtown Wilson's Miller’s ’... Cunningham’s....

Hence there is no question whatever as to the election of the Democratic nominees! Old Jack- son is to be congratulated upon having such worthy men to represent her in the next Legislature, and we shall expect them to make a record of which any constituency might well feel proud. Three cheers and a tiger, we say, for Key and Williams, the Democratic nominees. UNCLE PETER CULP- Apology.—The Banner-Watchman has surrendered much of its space for the past two days to the Technological school discussion. Owing to sickness and short ness in our composing roonf we have had to leave out other matter. We have just received a fresh lot of type, bright from the foundry, and are increasing our print ing force. WALTON COUNTY. Ina«>|irndraace Snowed tender—Kill* «*d « *egro Through Mistake.

The dry weather is opening the crop very fast, and it is pour ing into market If frost keeps off much longer it won’t find many un opened bolls. More School Buildings.—Mr. Rus sell intends to have a bill parsed through the next legislature allowing Athens to vote on $20,(XX) to $30,1 MX.) bonds to build additional school houses, as the two now erected will not near accommodate the pupils. Athens is determined to have the Lest free school system in the South, and pupils can step from them into col- lege. RETURNS FROM OCONEE. Following are the official returns in Oconee: »ni since tl»e days of independentism, and tin* organized democrats had become di'huartened and lost all hope of redemp tion; but like brave soldiers they had ili termined to fight until the last ray of hope had fled; and yesterday when the returns of the votes from the various j»recincts had been consolidated and the Moving Toward Athens.—Mr. Rob- t‘rts and his corps of engineers on the M. tV A. road are fast pushing toward Ath ens with the grading stakes and are ex pected in the city this week. Col. Smith is at work with over one hundred con victs between Monticello and Madison, and will soon have another squad at work this side of the Georgia road. For Mayor.—One who is behind the minees had won the victory by twenty- scenes tells us that the Knights of Labor three majority there was great rejoicing \ certainly put out a full municipal in the ranks. Hr. Galaway, the independent candi date, is a very popular physician, and the independents claim that nis own friends and partisans refused to vote for him on the ground of his great need as a physi cian at home. While the others contend that the Hon. H. A. Carithers who has represented the county for three terms previous to this, is the only man in the county that could have been elected on the independent ticket. Messrs. Gresh am and Clay were the nominees elected. Jeff Took, col., the republican candidate, received about twenty votes. < Mi Saturday night last, in the eastern part of the county at Walnut Grove Dr. Wagno Swords shot and killed a negro by the name of Mat Xorthell. He did ,l «t aim to kill Mat, but mistook him for Let Brown, a negro w’hom he had a dif ficulty with during the day. The negro resembled Mat Worthell very much, and the mistake was quite a natural one. The court of inquiry returned a verdict of murder from a pistol shot from the hands of 1 >r. Wag no.

Thk County Roads.—We learn that a move will be made by the Clarke county grand jury next week looking to the bet ter working of the public roads. A tax should be levied to keep constantly at work a gang of road hands under charge of a first-class civil engineer. A regis tration law for Clarke will also probably be recommended. Both are excellent suggestions. Strekt’Sions.—Mr. Stanley is having removed all the signs that were stretched across the sidewalks, as also the unsight ly wooden awnings.

Dear Banner-Watchman.—I read with strict attention Gov. Lee's address of wel come to the Knights of Labor Assembly at Richmond, Va., on Monday last. I al so read and pondered well Mr. l’owder- ly's response. 1 could find no fault to Lee's address. It was fu 11 of good, com mon sense and sound logic. He tells Mr. Powderly there is no room in this coun try for a third party. That is as true as Holy writ. Mr. Powderly uttered some good sentiments, but he is rather a croak- If Mr. Powderly wishes all men to obtain jus «-, he had best seek it inside of one of the two present parties, I should say the Democratic party, for it has been opposed to grinding monopolies, at least ever since the days of President Jackson’s administration, and if Mr. P. thinks ail men are not getting justice let him and his organization help elect good men in side the party to which they belong, and not go out as we did by secession; for I am sure that the Knights of 1-abor, ss a political party, will not be composed of better material than the Democratic par ty, nor will they be less liable to bribery and corruption. The Republican party is the one responsible for these land frauds, and Credit Mobelia frauds, and since the Democracy has been in power, they have reclaimed a great deal of the lands thus fraudulently disposed of. And the Democracy is as much opposed to the importation of pauper labor to this coun try as the knights of labor are. Mr. Pow- dcrly intimates that they expect to run the universe when properly under way, and a Scullion by the name of Woodward, who spoke here last fall, said Powderly possessed more power than President Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland has laws en acted by the Unired States Congress, and i& his duty to execute them. He has the sword with which to execute the laws, and to enforce the collection of rev- enuues, those Revenues pay foa the exe cution of these laws, and there is no hitch If one of Mr. Cleveland’s officials fails to obey his commands he is amenable, and will be punished. Mr. Cleveland has the legal power. Has Mr. Powderly any power only to command? We hear it said he can excommunicate a member or an assembly. What do they care for that? Mr. Powderly’s power is just as strong as a rope of sand without lime in If the Knights of Labor wish to keep up their organization and will keep out of politics, I have not a word to say to the contrary. I will oppose it no more than I do the Odd Felloyra or Ma sons, (of which I am one) but if it is to be a political party, I can say with Gov. Lee, there is no room for it in this coun try, and it will always be “snowed un der." While there are some very well meaning men in the organization—many of my personal friends, they lack a very im portant element, cohesion. I have writ ten more than I[ intended, but I got into it, and concluded to tell all 1 knew. I am, truly yours, Peter Colf. Watkinsville... Farmington... Salem Scull Shoals. DarkCorner...

Dr. Lowry, was the topic of conversation on the streets yesterday. It has long been the boast that this order had a majority of the voters enrblled'in its ranks, and the contest of Wednesday waa anxiously looked forward to that the real strength of the Knights of Labor might be discov- ered. It was generally admitted that there never was such an opportunity presented for their triumph, as the op position ranks were badly divided. There were two candidates in the field, and besides there was a large element dissatisfied with “scrub” race, who stood aloof and refused to vote. How ever, with so many conspiring advanta ges in their favor, if the Knights could not muster strength enough to elect Dr. Lowry, it seems folly for them to ever again to assume to dictate politics in Athens or Clarke county. Bnt in spite of all the favorable surroundings the Knights were badly beaten, and their combined strengthjshown to be only 462 votes. And Dr. Lowry, too, pol'ed eve ry vote that they could control, and but very few white Knights failed to vote the ticket dictated by their order. It is complained that many of their colored members deserted them. This is prob ably true, but the^same desertion would take place diaanother election occur. Men who will not be controlled one time will not submit at acother. The election of Wednesday shov73 that the Knights have greatly weakened since the municipal contest of last year, and they cannot now control as much strength in the entire county as they did in the city of Athens less than one year ago. A Banner reporter yesterday inter viewed a prominent gentleman who has always been in sympathy with the the Knights, and asked what he thought af the defeat. “I expected it," was the reply, “and counselled them against exposing their real strength by putting out a ticket A new order has always the reputation of being much more numerous than it re ally is, and the true policy of the Knights would have been to make terms with one of the candidates in the field and quietly hare voted for him. By this means they could have held the balance of power, and still retained the fear of the public. Now that the order has exposed its real power, it will be ridiculous to talk about controlling poli tics. The only hope for the Knights ia to quit politics and confine themselves to their real purpose.” We think the defeat of Wednesday of Dr. Lowry will be better for the Knights of Labor and also for our city and coun ty. There is no necessity for any differ ence or division among our democratic voters, for it can only stir up hard feeling and bitterness. It ia not right that any one class or organization should rule politics, but let the selection of of ficers be left solely with the consciences of the people, without any bias or pre judice. We hope taht after this defeat the Knights will let politics alone, and not try to drawn any lines between la bor and the business community. Let us unite on and elect good men to office, whether they be Knights of Labor or capitalists. The democrats of Georgia cannot afford to split up and divide, for then they only give a loophole for the bartering of suffrage. Bev. H. F. Hoyt <HU fill Dr. Lane’a pulpit this morning.

The best one we I have heard is on a gentleman who baa represented his county several terms in the legislature. It waa told on him by his opponent that while his antagonist yras in the legislature one of the members died and he was appointed to carry the remains home to the family and see that they were decently interred. Instead of carrying the body home he aold it to the Atlanta Medical college and reported that he had laid it safely away, and then sent in a big bill of expenses. | Saving Labor.—Col. .Bose Hill and Capt.

It took over a week to thus fell the tree, but Col. Baughn patiently sat on the fence all that time and kept the fire going. Joe says it takes longer time to burn down a tree than fell it with an axe, but then he saves ths wear and tear of his grind stone. Never Falls.

Who Hurled the Dynmamlt* cartridge In CarneevUle—senator Da via Badly start— Probably not Thrown to Injure an* One. From Mr. Luther Berch who ie just from Carnesville we learn the full parti culars of the dynamite explosion. Sena- ator Lewis Davis and a party of friends were talking between the court house and the office of the Franklin County Reg. istor, when the bomb was thrown from near the court house they saw the fuse burning and started to see what it was. Just as they got to itthe explosion took place. Senator Davis was knocked senseless for some time and his face bad ly blackened and bruised. It was sev eral minutes before hecould be brought to consciousness. Another one of the party whose name we could not learn, was knocked down, but not badly hurt. The explosion was terrific, and broke lamps and windows for several blocks. It is thought that the parfy who threw the bomb did not do it to hurt any one, but only in honor of the election of Hon. J. A.'Harrison. It is not known who threw the bumb. Senator Davis is a perfect gentleman, has no enemies, and no one could have thrown it to injure him. Is It a Swindle?—Mr. A. N. King, deputy clerk o!

But in spite of all these drawbacks the enterprise has been pushed steadily onward, and to-day we find all opposition beaten down and the Macon & Athens road and its progressive projector have triumphed over all opposition.

Thomas, to whom is due the praise for Athens’ success in capturning the line, and asked him the latest news from the M. & A. “I have nothing new to report,” re marked the Judge, “except that one million dollars in bonds have been sold in England at 90 cents, the iron to equip the entire road, from Monticello to Ath ens, and also to Griffin, has been pur chased, and the money is now in hand to pay contractors as fast as their work done. The engineers are now patting down the grading stakes toward Athens fast as they can work, ank will be followed by the graders. In fact every thing is ready to complete the road, and its success is now assured beyond the shadow of a doubt” “Will Col. Machen build a branch from the M. & A. to connect with the Georgia Midland at Griffin?” “Yea; that is all arranged, and the copnectmg link to Griffin will be built at the same time that the road to Athena is being graded.” “Where will the Georgia Midland tap the M. & A?” 'Somewhere near Monticello, but I cannot say yet” Why Four Men Are Happy In S.

Frank W CoUe W N Winfrey Oaaof the Fat Places af tka Public School System—Primary Grades •ad ska Object IiessaBs—Beadlng and Writing. The impression has gotton abroad that Athens has adopted in her public schools one of the best systems now in use. And the impression is not far wrong. The scores of neople who visit the schools just opened in the city are deci dedly of that opinion. An hour spent ■mong the busy children and earnest teachers is one of the pleasures of the day. 1 If one is fortunate enough to se cure Prof. Branson as a cicerone the plea sure and the profit are secured. The other morning the Bann eb-W atch- man yielded to one of the Superintend ents’ invitations and went down to the Oconee Street School. This is the home of the primary grades; “the nest of the tots.” .What a pity the city has not a fine building ready for these little fellows! Still they are packed snugly together behind the clean, new desks and manage to make out remarkably well. The children had been drawn up in long lines on the outside, under the care of the teachers, and filed in with soldier ly precision. One room after another was filled at the tap of the bell, the pu pils hanging their hats upon pegs in the hail as they passed through. “You see they carry order with them into the school room,” said Prof. Branson’ “No running or rushing over desks or seats. They are easily started off into study when they are seated.” The little tots sat down with the same order, a row of boys and a row of girls. In answer to a question Prof. Branson said that it was much easier to educate the boys and girls together. They sat and recited in the same room. They are always under the care of a teacher, and at recess are no less under supervision. The boys and giris have separate play grounds. “You see it saves space and teachers and time and material, and there is no trouble in any department.” In the Oconee Street School are rooms presided over by Miss Linton, Miss Ber nard, Miss Carr, Miss Roper, Miss Brum by and Miss Noble. There are two rooms down stairs and two up stairs. Two teachers sit in each room below. The first room to the left is controlled by Miss Linton and Miss Brunicy—“first grade A.” Pupils in this room are be ginners. They average six years, and one month ago few of them knew a let ter. Very few know their letters now; but they arebegginning to read and write very well. The system of object teaching is em ployed entirely. It is the Kindergarten method. “th.s is a bio rat.” These words had been written in pret ty script on the black board. The graph ic outlines of a large rat were chalked out on the slate, and the attention of the children was fastened on the object. They knew the picture and soon learned the word. Written in a clump of other words, few of the children failed to find on the board the word “rat.” Then they were taught to write the above sentence on their slates beetween ruled lines, and most of them made fair copies of the words which were Greek to them. In this way the pupil in a few weeks acquires several hundred words which he knows by sight. After this comes the analysis of words, the disin tegration of letters and their phone values. The drill in sound follows expertness in sight Having learned to read and write they are not long in learning to spell. It is the old order reversed, but it is t v e natural order after all. The way of coin- Ihencing to master abstract characters is obviously wrong. Men go from generali ties to particulars; from concrete to ab stract things. This is the order with the child, and the savage, and this is the way ihese children learn their letters, in this primary room not a book Was to be seen. But slates nicely cleaned, pencils carefully sharpened and classes moving like clockwork, were the rules. Schol ars arc drilled even in reversing their slates, in selecting corners for writing their words—everything shows system and order. teaching numbers. “How many are there here?” Prof. Branson had marked down five po nts on the board end covered them with his hand. Uncovering them for a moment, he quickly replaced his hand. Keeping attention on the alert the schol ars filled their little punctured squares in front of them with five shoe pegs, or held up five light wooden tapers. The number five was analysed—“four and one, three and t vo, two and two and one.” Then somebody told a story about five, and so on, the hardest branch in English education was commenced. In the room to the right js “the first grade B”—Miss Roper and Miss Carr. The children here are using books—read ing lower grades—and practicing figures with shells and other pretty implements; This is a step higher. Up stairs Miss Noble and Miss Brum by have 2d grades A. and B. We saw there remarkable exhibitions of notation and numeration. One of the hardest things is arithmetic as to distinguish between units of the first, second, third orders, and so on. Many children give up without under standing the rules that ten units of the first order make one of the second, etc. This relation is simply and perfectly ex- ained by this method of teaching. Miss Noble’s pupils were goingthrough this lesson. A box held up in front was divided into three apartments. The lit tle toothpicks in the right hand box were units. The little bundles of ten tooth- licks in india rubber bands, were tens, n the third box ten of these little bun dles were tied into one—containing one hundred toothpicks. Now seven large bundles, four small packages and five picks were displayed in order in the open box top. “745!” sang out twenty voices. The number was analyzed, the relations of the units explained, and when the figures were written on the black board every scholar understood perfectly what they meant—better than four fifths of grown people do, in fact. The method of object teachingisnowad- vanced entirely in the first normal schools aud employed in the present progressive school systems. l’rof. Branson, we believe, represents the best and most progressive methods, and his manner is easy and attractive in a schoolroom—his style is luminous and instructive. Pupils are kept busy all the time—and there is no mental strain. The attention is captured but the occupation is varied enough to make the employment pleasant as well as profitable. Sensation in Richmond over the Forwardness of Delicate Farrell. Richmond, VasOct,6.—Although Yesterday, in strolling along Broad street a Banner-Watchman reporter met an Athens capitalist whom he had missed from his accustomed haunts for several days. “I have been out to Birmingham, Ala.,” was his reply to our inquiry, “and I tell you it was the hardest work for me to get off without investing in property in that city, but I managed to escape no richer or poorer than when I left Athens. I never saw such a boom as has struck Bir mingham, and the people are wild over their great future; and I don’t believe, either, that there is mushroom inflation about the place. Birmingham is not founded on sand, as is other boastful ci ties, but on a vast bed of iron and coal, worth millions of solid wealth to the square mile, Why did I not invest? Property is so exceedingly high, but I believe its advance has only begun. There is one* little lot, in the business quarter, with only twenty-five feet front, that sold for $25,000. Think of $1,000 a foot for land! Why, in the old town of Elyton, about twe miles from Birmingham, you cannot buy land for less than $10,000 an acre, while it is not unusual to sell a tract of land several miles out of town and with not a pound of iron or coal on it for $300 per acre. Farms are being cut up into town lots and sold at city prices. Birmingham is destined to be the largest place in the South, and if some steel tests now being made succqd, the place will probably have a quarter of a million of inhabitants in little or no time. The whole city is underlaid with the richest kind of iron ore, and the five furnaces now in operation are making millionaires of all the stockholders. There is one man who owns miles of that rich iron ore and he will in a few years lie the Jay Gould of the South and his wealth be numbered by the millions. He is an Al abamian and broke at farming but went into the iron business. He bought up all the vacant lots to bo found, and now in a few years finds himself many times a millionaire.” The senior editor of the Banner- Watchman, when a boy, and the year before the war, for about twelve months or more lived in Shelby county, Ala., near the present site of Birmingham, and boarded with a man named Matt Pattern, who lived in one of the best houses in the neighborhood, which consisted of five log cabins built in a row, with passages between each and the houses chinked with lime mortar that presented a very pretty effect. There were little moun tains all around the house, while in front rippled a pretty mountain stream. We never saw a prettier sight. The govern ment then owned large belts of land, and the iron and coal mines, that are now- worth a fortune could then be bought at ten cents per acre. Mr. Patten ran a blacksmith shop, and when he wanted a load of coal would go on some public lrnd lot near his shop aud dig it. Elyton was then the county site, and an insignif icant little town with no apparent future. When the railroad was built, it was first intended to pass through Elyton, but the people in their greed refused it any aid, so Birmingham was built about two miles distant. A great many Athenians are now down with the Birmingham fever, and fcve would be surprised if heavy investments w.-re not made by some in property there. This is a very risky business, and we would advise such to be very careful how they placed their cash. today was the third day of tne con vention its members were nof ready to begin the actual work , they had come to do. There t till remained to be settled the question ni seating S delegates whose ' cases the committee on o edentiais fca d referred to the convention. Through out the city today the principal top ic of discussion was the admission last night of the colored delegate Farrell, to a seat in the orchestra circle in the Academy of Music, a section in the auditorium in the Richmond theatre hitherto sacredly guarded from the intrusion of bis race. A feeling of bitter resentment \ is felt among the Virginians, and they regard the delagaie from No. 49 with anything but a friendly feel ing. It is said that a majority of the local Knights are provoked at the act’on of their visiting brothers,and it was reported that a few of the Knights living here declared their 'intention of abandoning the Order, and joining the Law and Order League, organized in sworn opposi tion to the Knights. Farrell, the colored delegate of Assembly 49, called on Mr. Pow derly a this hotel this evening. It is stated that no further attempt will be made by colored delegates tc- enter the theatre in unauthorized places while the convention is in session. MERELY A SENSATION. It was rumored today that the delegates of District 49. with their colored brother, Farrell, intended go'ng to the Richmond theatre this evening, and that if the l»tter was refused admission to force their way in. Mrs. W. T. PoWell, proprietor arid manager ol the theatre, which is the leading one in the city, heard of the rumor and gave instructions that Farrell should not be admitted except for the gallery reserved for negroes. She called on Chief of Police Poe, to afford protection in case of trouble. Chief Poe called on Mr. Powderly to request that he use his influence to prevent the at tempt. Mr. Powderly sent Mr. Hayes to the executive board. He said he thought Farrell would not try to enter, but h^ could give no assurance on the subject. Chief Poe sent 35 men to guard the thca- t.e. At the hour for opening the the theatre, thousauds of people as sembled on Broad street, but the colored delegate or his fellow mem bers did not put in their appearance. The crowd remained until 1 o’clock before dispersing. A LIST OF LETTERS Remaining in the Athens post office uncalled for and advertised Oct. 11.^ Blanton, Tom, Brown, Mattie A.

MsdlaOnisn. VV. B. Burnett, Postmaster. Yesterday morning at 3 o’clock, when the freight train of the Geor gia railroad reached Madison,a fear ful and fatal accident occurred in in,which Mr. Reese, one of the train men, who resided in Angusta, lost his life. It appears, from the unfortunate man’s antemortem state ment, that Mr. Reese, in attempting in attempting to climb on top of his car when the train was in mo tion, lost his footing and fell be neath the car and several loaded cars passed over his body in the region ol the pelvis, literally crush ing it into jelly. Both of his legs were cut in twain and broken, and a fearful gash cut into his lace near his mouth. Notwithstanding all this he lived some thirty min utes perfectly conscious, suffering the most agonizing torture, and call ing most pitiously for surgical aid. Dr. C. M. George, one of our most skillful surgeons, reached the un fortunate sufferer as soon as possi ble, but only a few moments before death ended the agonizing, sicken ing scene. No blame attaches to the railioad management, as Mr. Reese in his dying moments stated the facts. The unfortunate man, we learn, leaves a wife and children in Augusta,who were entirely depen d- end upon him for protection and support. May God pity them in this tearful, sudden and unexpect ed stroke of Providence! An Accident.—Bud Barnett, col., of H trmony Grove, one of the train hands on the N. E. R.

Americus, Ga., Oct. 5.—Last winter, when the Ohio excursionists came to Georgia, among them was a young man by the name of F. W. Smith. He hired to a farmer in > this county for $8 per month, and worked through the' season of culti vating the crop. When the crop was “laid by,” his time being up with Mr. D. W. Badgely, he set aoout finding -some land upon which to farm. He rented a place, upon which was a twelve acre field which a negro tenant had planted in cotton, but abandoned to grass. Mr. Smith at once saw that could be saved. With his own hands he cut hay six days on. shares for Mr. S. W. Small?, his lanlord. He stopped work at the end of six days on account of sickness. Hia part of of the hay amounts to ta tons, which is nicely cured and housed, and he has been offered one hundred aud twenty dollars, where it is, but declined to sell.
