Thomas says that it is remarkable the amount of money virtu- allv lying idle in Neiv "York seeking in- vestment. During a recent visit the.re Judge Thomas called on a physician who has been, teaching a system to cultivate the memory, and he told him that he ad $450,000 invested in a security com pany, on which he was receiving but 1-2 percent, interest per annum. The same is tvuo of a great many others. Money never commands mnrethan &% in New York, and gilt edge security never has to pay that much. There is no trouble in inducing capital to seek more profitable fields if the owners can be con vinced that the proposed investment is safe.

He was at Monroe court sometime ago, and swapped anti he got nearly afoot, but he had tho boot that he had rece ived on his different trades in bis pocket. Uncle Dick did not know what to do with the hoi so that he ■ had on hand, and concluded to let the town of Monroe have him and keep him Uncle Dick mounted his steed and rode on the sidewalk, and only had to wait a short.time until the marshall appeared and arrested Uncle Dick for riding; on the sidewalks He tried to beg 'oft' as he had no money, bat the marshal was per sistent, and informed Uncle Dick that he would have to takehiin or his horse for the fine. The old man, with a tear in his eye, at last agreed that if he would let him have his bridle and saddle, that the marshal might take the hoTse until he could go home and get the money. The horse was kept until the bill ran up to six dollars, and was put up at public sale for the cost. There was no one wanting the horse, and he was thrown hack on the town. The .clerk of the town of Monroe has never yet balanced up his books, and there is still a ball- auce on account of one horse not sold. to the neighboring town of Winchester, after war had been declared, this dash ing young horsewoman heard of Federal movements which threatened her ‘‘be loved South,’* as she called it.

From that time she was “attached” to the Stonewall Brigade with more or less regularity.She rode acioss the battlefield of Front Royal and carried" to Jackson despatches which sent l.ini in pursuit of Banks. She had already become the pet and pride of the Southern army. She soon became known as “Belle Bojd,theJfamous rtbel spy ."At that time she was a girl of strong aquiline features, coal-black eyes and hair, a magnificent figure and the physical strength and elasticity of an Amazon.

He has made arrangements with a construction com pany, which agrees to take the road and complete the grading within tw'elve months, so soon as the contract, which Judge Thom: s is now perfecting with Northern capitalists, is signed. The Judge says he would have built the road long ago, but for having bis his hands full of other matter. Only re cently he has devoted himself to inter esting capital in his road.

Atlanta, Feb.9.—The Georgia cadets one of the local colored military compa- panies, have secured quarters in Wash ington for the inauguration. Mr. H Kimball and several others have pre seuted the company with checks. Washington. Here she became quite as much of a favorite with some of the young Federal officers and with some Congress men as she had already been with the soldiers and public men of the South. She hesitated at nothing to make a stroke for the Confederacy. She, who had, by her wiles and smiles, captured so many Union secrets, was at last a prisoner her self. After remaining some time in the old Capital Prison in charge of William P. Wood, she was exchanged for the cele brated Col. Michael Corcoran,of the Irish Brigade, who had been a Confederatoo prisoner since first Bull Run. After Get tysburg she was taken prisoner, court- martialled and ordered shot; but her sentence was commuted t(T"banisbment in the South. Soon afterwards Jefferson Davis sent her with important despatch es to Great Britain. She sailed from Wilmington, N. C., May 4. 1864. The vessel was captured, and the adventuress taken to Boston, court-martialled and a second time ordered shot. President Lincoln commuted Her punishment to banishment. She soon afterwards crossed the ocean and created a great sensation, when Aug. 25,1864, she married her captor, Lieut. S. W. Hardinge, iu London. Her husb and lived only a few months, and the young widow made her debut on the stage in England. The war over, she re tired to private life. Subsequent to her second husband’s death, about seven years ago,she started out as a lecturer as a means of maintaining ber three children, two of whom ate in a convent. Soon after wards she married her third husband,Mr. High, and made Detroit her home, During her marriage to Col.Hammond in 1880-81, who was then acting as trav elling salesman, Belle Boyd lived on North Thirteenth street, in Philadelphia. She gave some readings at St. George’s Hall. At that time the eldest of her lit tle girls was about thirteen years old. Subsequently she vent to live in Texas, where she married successively Col. Younger, Sam Starr and Jim Starr. Sev eral years ago she shot at and wounded a man there whom she charged with im proper relations with her daughter. Belle Boyd,as she always preferred to be called, had hankerings after an act ress left, and in 1867 made her first ap pearance on the American- stage with Ben De Bar. After that she starred two seasons, but without much success. She abandoned the stage for the lecture bureau, but reappeared on the hoards four or five years ago as Daisy Brown in “The Professor.” She was a bold and dashing, rather than a beautiful woman, and her chief accomplishment was per fect mastery of a horse. For some years she has lived in the Choctaw Nation,and has frequently been in Fort Smith on business and as witness at the United States Court. Af ter the death of her husband, Cole Young er, in Missouri she married Sam Starr and lived with him in the .Choctaw Nat ion. AVith ber husband,she was in Fort Smith about three years ago and the two left for home in the evening, but on the way home Starr was killed by an old en emy named West. Soon afterwards she married her late husband’s cousin, James Starr, who was READY FOR BUSINESS. Jester had a smile on his countenance last night, as he returned from the horse-' swapping ground on Jackson street.

Coal which now costs $6 per ton can he laid, do Am in Athens for $1 when Judge Thomas’ road istuilt, and the’ cheaper rades of manufacturing coal can be bad ‘or $3. We are decidedly of the opin ion that Judge Thomas’ road will do moio for Athens than any road that has been or will bs bnilthere, and it is most gratifying to know that he feels assured of its early completion. The best wishes of Athens go with Judge Thomas, who is as full of enterprise and life as of yore. W. A. Jester has on hand 10 horses and mules cheap for cash. good COULDN’T SPELL. The best one heard lately comes from Oconee. A committee was appointed by the Grand Jury to examine Sheriff Overby’s books, to see if his charges were right on keeping the prisoners, The Sheriff is allowed a small sum for turning the key on each prisoner, as he goes in the jail and comes out. In his 1>Qok he charged “turnkey” 50 cents. The committee saw the charge and pro nounced it turkey. This caused the committee to put on their Studying caps, and wonder if the Sheriff was feeding the prisoners on turkeys. They soon found on the hooks on the 17th of Jan uary “turnkey” 50 cents, and the 18th when the prison was released they would again find turnkey 50 cents,which they mistook for turkey. They thought that they had discovered the cause of Sheriff Overby’s wealth, and that he was eating turkeys and charging them to the county. After it was explained the committee wanted the whole business hushed up, hut it accidentally leaked out and it is now dangerous to say “tur key” to any member of the committee who examined the books.
