Tuoalo, August 15.— It might be of
interest to your readers to have a few
items of news from this pleasant retreat.
Throwing off the wires of mercantile
life, ami together with my little daugh
ter, iu a comfortable buggy, behind a
« ood horse, wo left the Classic City on
'uesday mtuning, August 5.
Curing the afternoon we arrived at
the hospitable borne of a relative near
Camesville, spending a pleasant after
noon. 1 attended a church in the neigh
borhood at night. After service I met
several frienJs, and received a cordial
invitation to remain over to the Con
federate veterans’ reunion on the mor
row. Unfortunately I could not ac
cept, as I wax anxious to continno my
journey to this place to join my family,
who had preceded me hither via rail
road.
1 arrived here in good trim Wednes
day at noon. We are now most pleas
antly .situated at the hospitable home of
Mrs. Nemeily Jarrctt. This.is a inag-
nilicent homestead, situated on the Tu-
gulo river. The B. & 1>. passes through
the plantation, the one hundredth mile
post marking our distance from Atlan
ta. Daily the trains pass iu sight.
This is an old settlement, and the
lands for miles around were formerly
owned by Mr. Devcriui darrett, who di
vided it among his children, who still
hold the most valuable part of it for
miles up nod down the river. The
bottom lands are simply magnificent,
and it is a delightful sight to see the
corn and cotton produced here. The
corn is not so good as last year, but in
favorable years as last, the yield has
been estimated at one hundred bushel
per acre. This, however, is uot au av
erage yield, but refers to the most fer
tile portions. The cotton looks well,
but is a little backward. With a late
fall the yield will be good. There is
considerable fruit here, but not of its
usual excellence.
The lumber interest in this section is
quite an item, and the forest is being
rapidly depleted of pine timber. The
demand continues, and consequently
the mills are pushing further into
the forest.
Yon would be astonished at the shin
gles manufactured in this section, with
a good demand ahead.eoming even from
southwest Georgia. A company of
Miehignudere has leased a saw'mill site
here in the bottoms, where the railroad
crosses the river. They have their
agents up in the mountains of Georgia
and North Carolina buying poplar and
hard wood trees, which* they will cut
andlloatdowu the river during the
high waters of winter. -They will erect
a large boom about one and a half or
two miles long to catch the stock as
thev come down. The streams here are
shallow, but quite swift in summer,and
are much swollen in winter. They hope
to bring down during winter enough
logs to keep them busy during summer.
Their product will be right at the rail
road, hence can be shipped with but
little expense. The only fear 1 have
for a successful completion of their
plans would be in getting the stock to
the mill. They have undertaken it
with much confidence and I wish them
much success.
The Itichmond and Danville railroad
has recently replaced at this place ttie
wooden bridge with an iron one, and
with such system was the work done
that it did not interfere with running
trains during the entire change.
We had a slight wreck near the bridge
in South Carolina, hut little damage
was done. One man’s arm was broken.
It was in sight of the house where the
wreck of a more serious nature occur
red a few years ago, when mail, passen
ger and sleeping coaches were burned.
I went over into South Carolina day
before > esterday, and heard about Ben
Cleveland, who has a monument erect
ed to his memory, and for whom Fort
Madison’s name has been changed and
who, according to my informant, was
so largo that he couldn’t wear clothes,
out went around in a slip or gown, or
what would in these later days he call
ed a Father Hubbard. In matters of
law the said Ben was both judge and
jury and exercising the full power of
Judge Lynch at his own sweet will. I
didn’t know but what my informant
was a Till maniac, so I said but little
about politics, besides I am not in poli
tics, as I have come to the conclusion
that 1 know enough about myself, and
once in politics, I’d be certain to learn
something 1 didn’t know, didn’t want
to know, and was surprised that any
body else knew it;and in fact I am quite
sure I feel better now than I would af
ter any race. The feelings of a defeated
candidate are not to be desired.
With such pleasant nights and no
mosquitos we have llie sweet sleep of
the inn cent. Mrs. Jarrett is sister of
our esteemed fellow citizen, Mrs. F. W.
Lucas, who with their accomplished
daughters, Misses Susie and Lizzie do
all in their power to make you havo a
nice time, and I tell you they ate a
booming success, and we are forced to
remark, truly our lot is cast in pleas
ant places. '
Well, for fear that yon may solillo-
quize thus: “That boy may know some
thing, but ’tis precious little lie knows
about writing an interesting letter,” I
will close with best wishes.

Tho Grand Jury Indictments Taken
From the Clerk’s Office—The Con
gresslonal Race.
Watkinbviixk, Gil, jV»g" s t 18.—
I Special.}—-Thet <■ is considerable excite
ment in this county over the disappear
ance of true bills from our • ■•-nrt
house, found by the last grand jury.
They were stolen from the Ch ib's of
fice. but by whom no one can tell. The
thief is undoubtedly interested in s,>un-
of these indictments, and imagined Unit
by stealing the papers it would put an
end to all piosecutidn. But He is sadly
mistaken, fortbeooin t recohls are still
in existence, and dt will be an easy mat
ter to have new papers made out.
This theft should prove a warning to
tho tax-payers of Oconee, arid show
them that better provision should he
made to guard their official records.
There is a shameful neglect somewhere,
when our court houses can be entered
and important public papers stolen.
Only a short time ago all the records
were stolen from Fulton county, and
the title to every piece of property
imperilled. These court papers should
he kept in the vault, where no one can
lay their hands upon them without au
thority. This is a very important mat
ter, and this robbery should set our
people to taking proper steps to protect
themselves from such acts in the future.
It is thoughi that during the absence
of the Clerk some oiic entered his office,
or stole the keys from him. The whole
matter is enshrouded in mystery. One
thing is certain—the tax payers of Oco
nee county will demand that hereafter
a closer guard he kept over their official
records. It is f- rtunate, indeed, that
only papers Were stolen that could be
duplicated.
Messrs. Colley and Lawson are now
in our county, and will remain until
, the eve of the primary. It is thought
that Colley has the strongest support.
although Judge Lawson lias many good
workers on his side. There is a great
movement to give the vote of Oconee to
Kev. J. G. Gibson, of Oglethorpe, but
it vt ill uot succeed. Mr. Olive is losing
ground very fast, end 1 do not think he
has any chance to carry Oconee.
Have you visited Toomer’s elegant fur*
nitureemperium m the lust lew months?
If not you have missed a treat. It is
the place to see the prettiest and most
attractive display of furniture ever put
on sale in Northeast Georgia. It is not
only the place to see, bm it is the place
to buy. You will be astonished to see
at what low prices their goods cave been
placed on the market. The fact of the
business is, J. B. Toomer is a first-class
business man, and has long since dis
carded old business methods. Formerly
it was customary to sell a few goods,
but on them it was also customary to
make an it mense profit. Things have
changed, and Toomer is not one of the
old liguress. He believes iu the new
idea, which is to sell a great many
goods, and at low profits. The result
is that he can, by selling in such quan
tities, give you bargains. His delivery
wagon is always on the go, and frequent
ly it is necessary for him to work his
force at night. Go to Toomer’s and see
his stock, and you are sure to buy.

AN ASTONISHING SIGHT.
A Hole In the Gronnd Where an Ore
gon Mountain Fell Through.
L. A. Sanctuary, G. W. Parks, M.
and A. Abraham, O. L. Iladley, and
C. Merton returned last Thursday from
their hunting ami fishing expedition in
the Coast range, says the Roxbury
Plaindealer. They make the report of
the astonishing discovery of a hole in
the ground one-half by oik-half miles
in extent., or thereabouts, where last
year stood a noble mountain nearly one
thousand feet high.
At the foot of this mountain was lo
cated Cedar Lake, a small but exceed
ingly transparent body of water, which
is now no more, the bottom having
been forced up when the mountain
went down, and the water all spilled
out. The mountain is now an island,
as it were, surrounded by almost per-
piudicular walls of rock, about one
hundred feet high. The theory of the
discoverers is that the mountain was
located over a vast cave, and that the
weight of the heavy snows last winter
crushed it in. The noise made by the
sinking mass of rocks and dirt and trees
was heard several miles away, but the
parties did not know until recently
what caused it. The lake cannot ne
shown in corroboration of this state
ment, as it has disappeared, but the
hole is still thete with the mountain in
it. and may be viewed by doubting
Thomases who will take the trouble to
visit it. It is a sight well worth going
miles t.o see. It is about three miles
from Laird’s, on the Coos Bay wagon
road.

Atlanta, August 18.—(Special.]—
Captain Sam Harris, the well known
Georgia railroad conductor, suicided
here this morning. He jumped into a
well forty feet deep about 4 o’clock thi>
morning. The scene of the suicide was
his home on East Hunter street.
For several months recently Captain
Harris’s health ,has been exceedingly
bad, and gradually grew worse. Hr
went off’ to different places endeavoring
to restore it, hut without any success
Finally ho grew despondent. Abou
two weeks ago he attempted to take hi- r
life with an overdose of laudanum. Tin
attempt was discovered, however, he- ;
lore the drug took effect,and physicians
saved his life.
A second time he tried to kill hintsell
by placing a pistol against his neck and
firing it. By chance the pistol was onh 1
loaded with powder,and awapof paper, i
which was buried in she fiesh, iullioteil I
a somewhat painful wound.
The third attempt, made early thi-
morning was successful.
Mr. Harris’s family consisted of him
self, wife and son, the latter a youn;
min about 21 years Old.
.Shortly after two o’clock it was found
that Mr. Harris was not in the house,
and immediately a search was begun for
him.
The well on the back piazza was
found to be uncovered, and the buckets
were f -und on the lloor. This quickly
led to the belief that he had jumped in
to the well.
Chief Connolly, who lives in the
neighborhood, was sent for, and a tele
phone message sent to the police sta
tion for an officer. Call officer John
Abbott responded,and when he reached
the residence Officers Lanford and Be
thea, who were on their way to the sta
tion house, had stepped in. By means
of hooks it was discovered that the body
was in the well, and Officer Lanford
was lowered by his two his associates.
When iie found the body the head was
downward in the water, lie made a
noose iu a rope anil fixed it about the
dead man, and after being pulled out
himself, assisted in raisiug the body.
When taken out it was found that the
dead man’s skull was fractured in the
back, and his head otherwise bruised.
Apparently death bad been almost
instantaneous, llow lie jumped into
the well is not kuown, hut from the po
sition in which the body was found, it
is thought that he went headforemost
over the windlass into the well.
Sam Harris was a very popular and
well knovt'ii man. Bislriends all looked
upon him as a noble, large-hearted and
generous companion.
He was about fifty-eight yearsold,and
a native of Taliaferro county, in this
state. For years he lived in Rutledge,
Ga. From there he came to Atlanta
about live years ago.
He leaves a wife and one son. Mrs
Harris was Miss Julia Killain, of Mad
ison, a sister of Mrs. L. P. Grant.
Mr. Harris was a son of Judge Single-
ton Harris, of that part of Georgia, and
for several years a member of tho gener
al assembly.
The funeral will occur from the resi
dence at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning.
The interment will be in Oakland cem
etery.

A DOUBLE DOSEOF SNAKEVENOM
Mrs. Root’s Extraordinary Experience
With Copperheads—A Massas-
sauqua's Work.
Special by Nows Telegram Association.
Galion, Ohio, August 18.—Mrs.
Mary Root, of Mamshury the day be
fore the Fourth of July was bitten by a
copperhead snake while she was put
ting a pie on the swing shelf in her cel
lar. the snake having dimed to the
shelf in some way and lyingtherecoiled.
The poison of the snake affected Mrs.
Root so seri- u-ly that for several (lavs
she was not expected to live, being
most of the time delirious. The venom
finally succumbed to treatment, and
Mrs'Root greildatiy recovered, being
able to get out of the house for the firsi
time last week Yesterday she went
into the yard to bang up clothes. She
had her clothes pins in a muslin hag
She laid the bag on the ground until
she was ready to use it. When she
thrust her hand into the hag to take out
some clothes pins her middle finger vrr
seized by something, and instantly a
shock of excruciating pain flashed from
her finger to her shoulder.
She quickly drew her finger from the
hag and dropped the bag on the gronnd.
i'he instant it s ruck the ground a cop
perhead snake ian out of the bag and
hurried away in the grass. Mrs Root’s
cries brought aid to her, hut she became
blind and delirious before she could b<
taken to the house. She is now lying
in a precarious state, and Dr. Ball
doubts that she will survive this second
injection of copperhead venom into her
j ystem while it- was still affected by the
first charge The copperhead and its
mate were found in the high grass n> t
far from where Mrs. Root was bitten,
and both were killed.
Two cows and a horse running in a
pasture on a farm adjoining the Root
place were found dead and much swob
len on different days of last week. The
owner believed that they had been poi
soned by a hired man lie had discharg
ed, and he started to the jusliee’s office
to swear out a warrant for the man’s
arrest. On hi« w ay to the justice’s the
farmer took a short cut through the
pasture where tho cattle had died.
IV hen half way across lie vvas startled
Uy a shrill rattle, and discovered in a
hunch of grass ahead of him the deadly
coil of a massassanqiia, or marsh rat
tlesnake. He killed the poisonous rep
tile and went no further. He knew
that the massassanqiia and not the hired
man had killed his cows and horse.

There’s a corset that isn’t
a corset, a waist with straps
for the shoulders and rows
of. buttons to button on
skirts and stocking supporters
and so forth—the Ball Waist
—and that’s about the whole
of it. No; you can put it
in the washtub—no metal in
it or on it.
It is worth your seeing, if
for nothing but how to sew
on buttons to button easy and
never come off, and how to
make buttonholes wear for
ever.
Women differ in theirways
of thinking and dressing as
well as in other ways. This
waist is for women whose
minds are made up that they
won’t wear corsets,
j There’s much to he said
on both sides; but did you
ever hear of a woman who
hadn’t made up her mind in
some way? and is there any
possible use in trying to get
her to change it ? She will
and she will; or she won’t
and she won’t
You can get the Bail
Waist and wear it a week or
two or three; and, if you
don’t want it, bring it back to
us and get your money.
