UO UR.HADK I ■RTUAZHIIS.
At the late county fair President
Northen had on exhibition a fine sample
of fertilizer made by himself. He has a
mill for grinding cotton seed so as to put
them in form for mixing with the other
elements that go to make up a complete
fertiliser. The Ishmaelite is of the op
inion that Mr. Northen’s success in this
direction points out the feasibility of
making on the farm all the fertilizers
needed for it. The feasibility of this
being established,the propriety of so do
ing follows as a matter of course. Let
the farmers think about it. They can
make a better article of commercial
manure thaD they have been in the habit
of buying, and at much less cost.
Mr. Northen will give any one who
may desire it information as to the cost
of the mills for grinding the seed, the
place where they are sold, etc.—Sparta
Ishmaelite.
UPSON ON THE RUN.
A man named Bayles, a tenant on the
farm of Col. S. C?. Dunlap, near Ga ; nes
vil e, unearthed a year ago about $1,200
in gold coin which was supposed to nave
been buried many years ago by the late
Joseph Dnnnegan, the former owner of
the land. The Heirs of Dunnegan brought
an action of trover for the money. The
case was trie .1 about a year ago and result
ed in a mistrial. It was tried again dnr-
ing this adjourned term of court’ and a
verdict was rendered in favor of the
plaintiffs. While itis generally believed
Dunnegan hid the money where Bayles
found it, there was no positive proofof
the fact, and many still believe that the
finder was entitled to the treasure trove.
What further action, if any, may be taken,
is not yet known.
His Cap’ure by the Police and Return to
the City. ,
Neal Upson, colored, has suddenly
developed into quite a runner.
Neal has been wanted in the city for
some time to answer charges of assault
an 1 battery and larceny, but he has
made himself scarce, and 'evaded the
police.
Yesterday Neal summed up resolu
tion enough to enter the city. He was
soon spied by the police and Messrs.
Goodrum and Kelley s arted to arrest
him.
Upson concluded that while there was
life there was hope, so he proceeded to
burn the wind to the tune of abont six
ty miles an hour. The policemen of
course quickened their pace and the fly
ing party was watched by a large num
ber of citizens.
Upson gained Compton’s hill in safe
ty, when a colored boy who accompa
nied the police, ren up on him. Upson
it is said pulled-out a pistol and snapped
it several times at the negro, bat the
cartridges refused to explode.
Later on it. was found out -that the
calibre of the weapon was 32, and the
cartridges 24.
The negro was caught by the police,
brought back to the city and
locked up.
Athens will then be at the
intersection of these two great roads
and who can doubt that the completion
of these great systems will rank our city
second to none in the South, as a dis
tributing point and a great trade centre.

Athens is on the eve of a revival in
growth and an extension of trade never
dreamed of by the most enthusiastic. Al

forming which are destined to make
Athens tho greatest railroad center in

A Klava and Five Colts Flow Side by Side.
Who'will say that horse raising, does
not pay in Georgia, in the face of the
statement by Mr. T. F. Crowley, that
some years ago his father ran a large
farm with a mare and her five colts.
The mare lived to be thirty years of
age, and at twenty seven was plowing in
the same field with her five colts.
Care in the selection of the brood
mare and attention to the colts will
-result in repetitions of Mr. Crowley’s
remarkable experience in horse raising.
Harp Sing, a Chinese l&undryman on
Pryor street, in Atlanta, near police head
quarters, has had a mournful experience.
When he came to Atlanta about three
weeks ago, having come direct from San
Francisco,he had about $8 in 10 cent pieces
In his own country the money in .general
circulation was all copper and the relative
sizes of two pieces determined their rela
tive value. He started out on this idea
and the small boys soon caught on. The
Chinaman give two silver dimes for a
nickel and in three or four days he was
scon brankrupt and didn’t know why,
He told his trouble to a brother Chiana-
man on Marietta street, and his experience
wa3 interpreted for him. He borrowed
70 cents and says he has $5.20 saved up
already and that as soon as he has $50
ho is going to Augusta.

A word to the wise is sufficient, and
