STEGALL’S SALE. A Fen Loti. Sjlil .t Its ttling Cool Figo e<*. • AH those enterprising citizens who wept to Stegall's on Tuesday, with the idea of casting an anchor to windward by buy ing a cheap lot in the Birmingham of the future, were greviously disappointed. There were no cheap lots, and t nose wno invested in Stegall's realty on the 31st, had to put up a very handsome consider ation, considering. The embyro town is handsomely laid off with streets, alleys, £e., an abundance of chok e corner lots, and a park donated by one of the enter prising founders of this coming metro polis, whose name shall go sounding down the corridor of time, &c. It seems to a bystander that considering the amount of surrounding spare, the town lots might have been given a little more frontage or deepage, but the city’s fathers probably understand their business, and do uot vvant one citizen to monopoise too much of the city. About 150 persons were present at the sale, some genuine investors, some scali>ers, and several who came to see just how a town is start ed and partake of the barbecue and eider —the latter by the way seemed to be from a perpetual fount and flowed in streams to the delight of a few. There was a general air of expectancy on the crowd about the time the Chattanooga train was due, and when it rolled by in hot haste, stopped not, nor heeded the ex pectant crowd, disgorged no eager capitalist* with money in their pockets and expectation in their eyes, but just simply, as old man Bishop said “tooted along,'’ we all felt bad, very bad, and looked at C. M. Jones with commisera tion. He however, bravely hid the fox that was gnawning him and said “let her roll.” Mr. Wilson the auctioneer came forward and after calling the crowd together made them a little speech hh to the merits of town lots sold by him in general, and those of Stegall’s in particular and paid a glowing tribute to the infant city’s future greatness, and offered the first lot, size 70x95 f<*et, number two of the plat, situated on Curtersville street, one door from Church street. It seemed hard to start the sale and for a weary while, no man had the courage of his opinion— may be he had no opinion—but finally A. M. Eoute threw himself in the breach and started her at $lO. That broke the iee and in a few moments the lot was sold at $l3O to Mr. Collins of Atlanta. After that the fuu grew fast and furious. R. M. Patillo and Juo. T. Norris joined in the struggle for place; lot after lot was sold at the rate of S3OO per acre. C. M. Jones and Jno. Stegall were wreathed in smiles and Wilson was contented. After selling 12 lots a halt was called, and all were invited to the barbecue and cider keg where Jim. Jolly presided in all his glory and shirt sleeves, and for hulf-uu hour the hungry crowd exerted itseif to dispose of a full supply of beef, mutton, l>ork, bread, etc. After dinner a heavy cloud threatened, the wire edge seemed to be worn off the gathered capitalists, and after consultation among the infant city's nearest relatives and their lieutenant, the announcement was made that the sale of the remaining lots was indefinitely postponed. A heavy cloud was gathering m the north-west, there was mounting in hot haste, the street cars were loaded, the last drinks of cider stole lingeringly down the throat* of thirsty and regretful ilepartants. Dennis Yandivere hove a sigh for a fair one left behind and the long looked for sale at Stegall’s was over. TURNED ON TENNESSEE. The Prohibition Guns Pointed in That Direction. Tennessee is just now in the toils of a prohibition campaign, which promises to be a heavy anil long fight. The last legislature ordered an election over the entire state for next September, and the prohibitionists are just now priming their guns for the fray. The campaign aggressively speaking, commenced last night’ in Chattanooga. Rev. Sam. Jones firing a heavy .volley into the camps of the enemy. Rev. G. C. Rankin, of Chattanooga, came down after Mr. Jones Tuesday afternoon and both went up yesterday morning. While here Mr. Rankin talked with several, among them a Coukant-Ameiiican reporter, and gave it as his opinion that there was a good showing to carry Tennessee for prohibi tion, although it will require every effort to bring about such a result. Ho depeuu ed largely upon the people of the country to carry the election for prohibition and would be contented if the cause should hold its own in such large towns as Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga. Mr. Rankin said that, the campaign would now bo opened up in earnest, open ed up in such a manner as to hear from the enemy. It was the intention, he said, of the whisky men to allay agitation. Agitation is what the prohibition folks wanted, they know that this will bring converts into the cause. The whisky men of the state will spend considerable money, an abundance of which they have. Rev. Sam. Jones will make five speeches in the state before returning home, and it is thought that they will do a power o f good. Verbatim reports of them will be published throughout the state and will lie used as campaign documents. The present election will be held on the basis of the last state election, that is, only the total number of votes cast at that election will be counted at the elec tion next September. i lie vote was in the neighborhood of 228,000 and it is necessary for the prohibitionists to jaill at least over half of that to carry the election in September. On another page will lie found a state ment of the different worth of various baking powders on the market. It will lie seen that the Royal Baking Powder stands at the head. It is jierfect and is sold by all merchants. CORN! CORN! I have a carload of very fine Corn for sale for cash. C. T. JONES, Pattillo’s Old Stand.

THE FIENDISH ‘FLAMES. Herbert and Charlie Milam's I>inu,ii ur in S.uot e. For the firs* time in several years Car vels vide experienced a fire Saturday after noon about half pa*t two o'clock. At that time some one pruning the residence of Messrs. Herbert and Charlie Milam, immediately near the Methodist e'lLirk. noticed smoke issuing from thekitelier ’ A hasty examination resulted in the discovery of the strt'e-ture in flames and the occupants of the house gom. Mrs. Charlie Mi lain was at a neighbors visit ing at the time, and hud left her home only a few minutes before the ala> ni was given. A large crowd gathe.vu and suc ceeded in saving considerable fine furni ture, though in somewhat damaged con dition. No effort was made to save the house as no ineanstodo so were at hand, and a* the building was extremely dry from the la.e drought it burned very flerely and could not possibly have been saved. The crowd with buckets turned its at tention to the old schorl house op;saute the turning reside ice and the Methodist chuieh near by. Both cf these buildings caught fire in a dozen or more places, and it was by hard work they were saved. L: looked as if the Methodist church was destined to l>e burned, as then was no bi dder of sufficient length to reach its roof in the neighborhood. Some one hamiened to know where the old loug leader, that belonged to the defimctliook and ladder company was, and succeeded in getting it to the scene in time to save thechurch from destruction. The finding or’ this last relic of the old company was indeed lucky, and in justice to the friends of the old company, let it Ik? said, that this simple ladder saved atleast SIO,OOO in this instance alone, which fully paid back what the old outfit cost, and con siderable more besides. The money sjient fi r its purchase, for so loug thought as thrown away, is at last saved by the very last relict of the original purchase. Let the old hero be retired and put on the pension list. It has saved our beauti ful .Methodist ehureh, and probably our town, who knows ? It can weli lie retired with the honest assurance of having done the duty it set out to fill. The loss of the building and contents are greatly ameliorated by the fact that there was SIOO insurance on the house and SIOO oil wearing apparel and furniture. The policy was of the South ern Mutual, represented by liev. John T. Norris. A BLACK SCOUNDREL. It* Makes an Outrageous Assault Upon a Lady Near K.sh Creek. The Fish Creek comm unity on the East and West road, about 25 miles from Cartersvillej lias been greatly excited the past few days over an outrageous assault of a negro upon a white lady. One evening last week a negro man went to the house of Mr. William Wilson, who lives a mile east of Fish Creek sta tion, on the East and West railroad, and approached the wife of Mr. Wilson, who was alone with her two children, her husband being away. She was sweeping tha yard when he appeared and asked her if she had seen a red cow he professed to be hunting. She told him she had not. The negro lingered longer thah she con sidered agreeable, and she told him it looked like rain and he had better gO and seek a shelter. She then started around the house with the intention of entering it from the farther side. An im pulse seized her to look back, which she did aud observed the negro following, and in a few moments he sprang at her anil grabbed her by the throat, she struggling against aim, but he finally threw her to the ground. She claims that from choking she became blind and unconscious, but she freed herself from tho negro who fled hastily. She went to her nearest neighbor’s (a Mr. Jackson) and told her story. The news of the af fair spread quickly at the station and over the neighborhood, and a large num ber of men were soon out hunting the negro. Mrs. Wilson described her assail ant as a black, heavy-set negro about 5% feot high, with heavy moustache and high check boner,. Dogs were placed upon his track and he was run for a number of miles in the direction of Hightower’s mill, and the trail finally lost. Mr. Wilson is an honorable, clever lab oring man and his wife a worthy re spectable woman. From the Rome Courier of yesterday we learn that a negro who gave his name as Ed Hughes, was arrested Tuesday morning at the Atlanta junction, about there miles below Rome, charged with the assault upon Mrs. Wilson. He was carried before that lady who easily iden tified him as her assailant. A reward of S3OO had boeu raised for the negro, and from the feeling in that community it is thought that Judge Lynch will pre side at his trial, conviction and execu tion. * Curry’s-Diarrhoea and Dysentery Speci fic speedily relieves flux, cholera morbus and till bowel affections, Sold onty in bottles at 25c.

We can easily preeeive the truthfulness of “Water Lilly’s" piece of Clear Creek in last week’s paper, when she ]<eaks of how easily it is to get certain young men to take charge of a Sunday school class at Halls. This is true. We might also state that it is a very easy matter to get sertaiu young ladies to join certain classes a* well. She certainly hit the nail on the head when she spoke of the good success one of our teachers had: he cer tainly had noble success, and we hoje tiiat that certain new teacher will have equality a* good success.

Brother White, of Kingston, spent Saturday night in our neighborhood. I will give a problem for some of the mathematical heads to solve: A young man asked ail old gentleman for his daughter in marriage.

In the first clause of my last communi cation tho substitution of October for Oat makes it road somewhat strange and contradicting. How the compositor could make such a wide mistake is a little mysterious. I know my scribbling sometimes hard to decipher, but I can hardly bring myself to believe that I maue such a mistake, Rut this was not such an important a document, that the misprint of one word would make very material difference as to injure any one. I am glad to see new correspondents from over the county and welcome them most heartily to the circle. May the number continue to increase until every corner of the county is represented. This Is one feature that makes a county paper interesting, it also shows that the Cou kant-Amkkican is so edited and man aged that is continually growing pop ular with the people.
