There is to be a horse swapper’s con vention at Calhoun on November 20. All of Gordon county’s lovers of horse flesh will bo on hand. Atlanta will be honored by Athons on November 29, “Lucy Cobb Day.” Preparations are being made to bring to the exposition the entiro population of the clasaio city, A company is being formed to work the gold ilelds of Paulding county for all they are worth. The operatives will begin at York town, near Hook- mart, at an early date. A capital stock of $50,000 has been raised for that purpose. The socrotary of the Farmers* Na tional congress, which recently met. in Atlanta, has written a public letter in which he says tlio delegates were not properly treated by the Atlanta peo ple, because their expenses were not while they were guests of the city. Tho movement which has been start ed in Augusta to suppress tho small money lenders who prey upon many of tho wage-earuois in that city not. only has a very strong local support, but has taken shape in a bill which Mr. Fogarty, of Richmond, has intro duced in the legislature. Tho Savannah Press, in an editorial comment on the bush bill investiga tion, fays: “Tho investigation has shown that both sides, tho antis and prohis, have endeavored to persuade the legislators, by oral argument only, against or iu favor of tho measure. Nobody has tried to corrupt any one. If this is lobbying, then both sides liavo lobbied.” The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says that “if the legislature is in sympathy with tho committee appointed to at tend the dedication exorcises of tho Cbickamanga National park, it wj|l appropriate $213,900 or some adequate turn, to erect monuments to the bravo men who fell on that bloody battle field Hi defense of Georgia and tho W$m A'I ‘it, W.

CULP, Tradio M’g’r, Washington, D, 0 This sale speaks well for tho credit ,.f tho city of Atlanta, for Air. Inman, and for the Atlanta National Bank, n homo institution, and seems to bo a matter of congratulation for all par ties concerned. Thin is the second time in the histo ry of tho city that Atlanta bonds drawing 4 per cent, have been sold. Tly? former sale was also made by Mr. Inman, when ho was chairman of the tinanco committee under Mayor John T. Glenn. On that occasion, as at present, tho Atlanta National Bank was tho purchaser. This last batch of bonds sold were redemption bonds, is sued for the purposo of redeeming bonds issued in 1879. Those bonds drew G per cent, interest. Last year tho city sold 4 1-2 per cent, bonds at a premium of 1 per cent, but this later issue is a better one for the city by about $10,000, ai the bonds run thirty years. I ho Now Town of Fitzgerald. Au old soldiers’ colony has been established iu Irwin county, at the crossing of the Brunswick and West ern and the Georgia Southern and Florida railroads, and where a few weeks ago there was nothing but tho virgin pine forest, therearo now 1,500 people. This colony is mado up of old sol diers, who draw pensions from tho government, and their families. It wav originated by P. II. Fitzgerald, of Indianapolis, Ind., a pension agent, who, for the past threo years, has been working with this object in view. A prominent railroad man who vis ited tho colony recently said that it sounded like a Fairy tale when he first hvard about it, and even now that ho Las soon what is being done, ho can hardly realizo it. “The colonists have decided to call their magic city 'Fitzgerald,’ ” said ho. “It is near thoViost office, form erly known as Swan, in Irwin county, t ./outy-five miles northeast of Tiffcon but now tho post office is known as a mm FOR REPLENISH!

Detailed official information has been recoivod at Washington of the exciting events attending tho capture of the flllilmstering steamer Horsa, which is now held at Kingston, Ja maica, and of tho arrest in Cuba of five of tho principal members of the expedition. The information is con tained in a long dispatch from Havana, dated Tuotday. It. states that on last Sunday a boat with five passengers and her crew ar rived from Agnodores, six miles from Santiago do Cuba. They said they were fishermen from Jamaica, but af terward admitted that they were on their way to join tho rebels and that they had thrown over their arms when they wore discovered.

Governor Atkinson did not partici pate iu tho Georgia Day exercises at tho exposition Tuesday. Tho governor said ho was not in vited to take part in tho exoroises. President Collier said that tho Georgia Day exercises were placed in the hands of tho governor, and that no further invitation for him to participate iu the exercises were thought necossary. A pretty muddle has grown out of it 11. The governor’s dignity is offend- d, tho exposition directors surprised and the public will be amused. Tho governor said that ho had in tended to take part in tho exercises, thinking, of ootirso, that ho would bo invited to do so. "I bad written to nil tho members of ray staff to oomo and tnko part in tho day’s observance,” said he, '“but at tho last moment, not having re ceived mi invitation to participate in thu observance of tho day,I telegraph ed members of my staff living outsido of Atlanta not to oomo.” President Collier expressed regret that any misunderstanding had arisen. "Wo placed the Georgia day exercises in tho governor’s hands,” said the president, "and thought Unit was all the invitation lie required lo tnko pnrt in the exercises. Ho issued the pro clamation announcing tho day.” TRUNK LINES AGREE. Articles of Organization Approved and Take Effect .January 1.

While soldiers under Molino wero in retreat, tlioy mot a group of women and child ren near a little town callod Cayopino. As tho soldiers passed, one of tho wo men made a sneering remark about tho Spaniards. The remark was over- heard by tho soldiers and so enraged them that they butchered everyone of tho women and children. There wero ton women mid about a dozen children in tho gronp. The letter says that the Spaniards after shooting down thoir victims, stabbed them with bayonets, inflicting the most horrible wounds. One baby wos killed at its mother’s brenst, and tho bullet that passed through the in fant, also passed through the mother. Colonel Molino made no report of tho butchery, but it happened that two of the women murdered wero wives of the Spaniards engaged in the sawmill bus iness nt Matnuzas. When they learned how thoir loved ones hod been slaughtered they sunt Do Campos information of the horrible uffuir and demanded that Colouel Mo line ho punished.
