Monrok, Ga., Deo. 6.—[Special.]— Last night about nine o’clock, Mr. Dayton Ramsey, while alone in his room on Broad street, discovered a negro with a club slipping up towards him, and quiokly grabbed a gun to -hoot the negro, whereupon he hastily disappeared. About one hour later, some one rapped on the door, and Ram- •i y, taking his gun in one hand, opened Ute door and the same negro struck at him \Qth the club and Ramsey shot at him but without effect, and the negro, with au undiscovered companion made good their escape by running down stairs and jampiDg through a window* Tbo motive was probably robbery. Yesterday Attious Snow and his brother William, residing about five miles from here, had a difficulty about a mole, and. Attica?, using a pistol, shot William twice one bail severing an ar tery in tbe arm, and tbe other ball lodging near tbe heart. The wounded man is in a very critical condition. TO RELIEVE THE SUFFERINGS OF MR. CICERO BAILEY. THE SAD RESULT Of a Thanksgiving Day Accident—All That Could be Done to Save Was Done, But Without Avail. At half past four o’clock Tuesday morning, tbe sufferings of Mr. Cicero Bailey were ended. The finger of God tonohed his eyelids into sleep, and all traces of pain and anguish lied. Several days since Mr. Ba.ley became worse from the effects of the gunshot wonnd received on Tbanksgividg day, and Monday it became evident that tbr hour of dissolution was fast approach ing. As tbe hour of death drew near, the sufferings of the young man were in tense, and nothing seemed to reliev*- them until tbe breath left the body. It will he remembered how <R Thanksgiving day, Mr. Biiley, Mr. Henry Bensse and others were our -ranting and Mr. Beusse’a shot gnt> went off suddenly, tbe load entering just below Mr. Bailey’s shoulder. Mr. Beussee is terribly distracte* »ver (his unfortunate accident, whip the hosts of friends of the dead young nan are sorrowing st his untimely taking off. Mr. B«iiey was the son of Mr. anr tin. Thomas Bailey and was the ido •f the family. He had just attained bis . wen ty-fifth year, and life was fall oi promises to him. It is always hard to understand tin workings of Providence in the suddeih leatb of the young, but beyond oui uortal discernment there is a reason, which to the mind of tbe Almighty, it- good and sufficient. u He doeth ah things well.” Mr. Bailey was a young man wh* raw around him a large oircle of de moted friends, who today keenly feei ae loss they have sustained. During •.tie stay of Rev, J. B. Culpepper in thh city no one was more regularly in at- ondance upon the meetings than Cicert Bailey, and although not a member oi he church he had repeatedly acknowl- ■Iged his firm belief in its principles oi Uth and made known his intention oi joining it. To tbe parents and relatives of the leoe&sed the sympathies of tbe oommu- ilty go out in this hour of supreme trial and bereavement. Georgia’s Banka. Washington, D.

If some scholar who has just contracted a cold vas brought before the school so that J1 could bear the dry, load cough and now its significance; see tbe thin white ■eating on the tongue and later, as the sold developed, see the profuse Watery xpectination and thin watery dia- barge from the nose, not one of them r voold ever forget what the first symp- omsofacold were. The scholar should be given Chamberlain’s Congb -temedy freely, that all might see that sven a severe cold could be cured in one •r two days, or at least greatly mitiga- ed, when properly treated as socta as the first symptoms appear.

In the accompanying cat is shown an arrangement made by a Maryland farmer to form a room under a straw tick in which to store turnips and potatoes.

I know it is far better than kilns, as the con tents are accessible at all times. ROOT ROOM UNDEn A STRAW RICK. The cost is very small. 1 ent three good sized posts, with forks at one end, length about nine feet, pnt them iu ground deep enough to be firm, then took two heavy poles about sixteen feet long and placed them in forks of up rights. Then I placed on each side good sized poles close together, the ends rest ing on ground set a little below surface to keep them from slipping. Against the south “end post” I nailed an old door frame, with door, so when filled conld keep nnder lock and key. I built this skeleton room juBt before thrashing wheat and placed it so straw in coming front machine would fall over the poles. I also made a skeleton-vestibule to door and had it covered with straw. Grass Farming. Mr. Denise, of New Jersey, tells in The Rural New Yorker that he seeds wheat with both* clover and and timo thy. The first’ year’s hay is all clover. This he feeds to his own stock, selling only the second year's cutting, which is nearly pure timothy. The stable ma nure is all used on the sod for corn. There is one sure thing about grass farming. All should grow clover, but no one should sell it if he can possibly avoid it Timothy is the grass to sell. Feed clover and sell timothy is sound advice to one who keeps stock. An Artful Dodger. * Miss Smilax—Why is it that I can’t pre vail upon yon to take either tea or choco late, Mr. Greyneck?

For ventila- -ion the upper window in front of the ‘milding above tho door Is opened at the ’op enough to permit a free circulation •>f pure air throughout the bufifiing.

Capons of the La Fleche breed are chiefly favoi -xL Tho first thing a visitor at a Fronch market notices are the fowls staged with their backs uppermost, their wings being dressed nnder the breast, which is not open to view. The back is considered by French epionres to supply the choicest morsels of the meat and fat which can be got off the fowl, and they say that if the back is well lined with flesh the breast is snreto.be right La Fleche fowls lay on an enormous amount of fat. , j The general practice is to caponize the fowls at 6 months'old,' and then as soon as they havo recovered from the opera tion they are fattened, and are ready for market in from two to three mouths. They, are fed on milk, buckwheat and maize, and are not olosely confined, but allowed to run in a small space. For the last three weeks they are subjected to the process called cramming. Another point is tho shape of the fowls when shown. Those accustomed to exhibiting place them in a mold In a linen ckfth and press them, and then, they come out long, oval, smooth and piump. After being washed with milk they are ready for market or for exhibition. . Batter at the Food Exposition.
