COURANT-AMERICAN. X s -u.TsXllxS. X:-very Knxxt.za3LS.-y. CA, RTKRSVI 1.1. K, <;EORGIA. Official Oriai of Barlow Coanly. THURSDAY, AUGUST 4. 1887. Parts of Tennessee anti Kentucky were visited by an earthquake Tuesday morning. No damage done. A prominent politician of lowa, says his state stands thus as to presidential candidates: The politicians for Blaine, the yeomanry for Sherman. Mr. Blaine has announced his pur pose to remain in Europe until next year. His rheumatic pains east 1 as the Sherman boom subsides. Those are accommo dating rheumatic attacks that Brother Blaine has. From the fact that the extension of the Marietta and North Georgia road has lwen refused, and an attempt is now l**ing made to deter loan associates from loaning money, the legislature simply shuts its doors against the investment of northern capital in developing the vast resources of our grand old state. The accumulation ol political thunder for next year's use seems to be the object of the average legislator just now, while right and justice are allowed to take care of themselves. The State Poses a Monopolist. The Marietta and North Georgia rail road is just now the means of interest ing considerable northern money in the mountains of North Georgia, and, be sides, this road is nearly all owned by northern jieople. An attempt was made lust week to gain a charter so as to al low its extension to Atlanta, but strange to say the legislature refused it, giving as an excuse that the road would be an tagonistic to the interests of the State road. If the state road is to be used thus in aiding our grand old common wealth in starring as a monopolist, we 1 iiiuk no lletter reason exists than this, why it should be placed upon the block and sold, and at the very earliest possi ble moment. The State of Georgia can not afford to pose in such attitude. The Marietta and North Georgia road passes through fine of the finest sections in the world and this direct stab at its useful ness is to be deplored. It seems that a considerable amount of crankiness has developed itself in the matter of the state road, in fact there is entirely too much of it. The road has b<*cn the source of much trouble and scrambling and its sale would no doubt be the best tiling after all. The height of ambi tion is reached these days by the one horse politicians when they can wedge a plank or so in their platform in which the State road is interested. It is an old plank with all the splinters worn off". Maj. Hanson’s Speech. Notwithstanding the exceeding inclem ency of the weather, quite a fair crowd came out to the court house, on last Sat urday, to hear Maj. Hanson, of Macon, discuss the tariff. The major is a man of magnificent presence, an eloquent talker and a clear, forcible reasoner. He soon engaged (lie dose attention of his audi ence. He gave a succinct history of the tariff as it relates to American politics, how it became a sectional issue; when, and why the great leaders of the south be came free-traders, lie explained how the condition of affairs had changed in the south, from those that existed when her public men saw proper to adopt a policy of free trade, as opposed to that of protection, lb* reviewed the various tariff laws that had existed in this coun try, and the effects of each upon its growth and prosperity. lie ar gued that the same policy that had made the north and east greaj and pros perous as manufacturing and industrial sections, would, if properly and wisely adhered make the south greater. He said that a great many misapprehended the results of protection, and that a proper understanding of the question was only necessary to remove that mis apprehension. The speech was a clear and able pres entation of the arguments favoring a tariff for protection judiciously adjusted. It made a strong impression upon the minds of those who heard it. Thespeak er was thoroughly fair in his discussion of the subject, and at once won the con fidence of his hearers. Maj. Hanson made many friends while here, who will always stand ready to ex tend to him a hearty welcome to our midst. Appointments to Federal Office. The New York Post, furnishes the fol lowing interesting facta, concerning the appointment to, and removal from, federal office, during the past several ad ministrations: The number of post offices June 30th, 1887, was 55,157, nearly half the places under the govern, meat. Under the Cleveland administra tion 9,112 appointments were made in the first, year, and 0,8(13 in the second year, upon resignations and expira tions of commissions. The total for two years was 1.7,97a, or 31 per cent on the total number when Cleveland came in, and about 27 i>er cent, on the present number. When President Hayes came In there were 77,317 postoffices, and the number of appointments made in his term, on resignations and expirations of commissions, was 23,273, less than 2,000 of which were on expirations of com missions. “Examination of the records shows that under Grant, Hayes and Arthur the changes in offices, upon resignations ami expirations of commiss ions, rose as high as 34 per cent, in the first two years of anew administration, and never sunk below 30 per cent.” In regard to appointments upon re movals uud susi>eusi< ms, the number of charges in the first two years of Grant’s second term were 1,881 out of 33,214 offices, or about 6 per cent.; 1,306 out of 37,347 offices, or 3 percent., in the first two years under Hayes, nml 1,726 out of 44,512 offices, or 4 per cent., in the first two years under Arthur. “Under Cleveland, appointments upon removals and siis|*ensions numbered 9,5GG in the first fiscal year and 2,784 in the second— a total of 12,170 out of 71,272 offices or a little over 23 jer cent.” That is to say, the total appointments for the two years have been 36,771, and those under removals and suspensions 12,170 out of 55,157 and four-fifths of the latter were made the first year. OVER THE COUNTY. (H R CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, Ami l)ih Them lip In a Delectable Shape For Our KeaUers. KINGSTON. Rain, rain, we can now truthfully say Kingston is a wet town. Our farmers are having a rest spell, cotton and corn is looking finely, our prospects are bright for a bountiful crop. We notice at the Couehe House Mr. Boyless and Mr. Bell from Mineapolis, Minn., who tire visiting our section with the intention of making it their home. We hoi** they will be pleased with us and our country and become citizens. Mrs. Ellis, of Greenville, Ala., are visit ing Z. W. and .1. W. Oglesby, her cousins. Mis. Liztie McLung, of Atlanta, is vis iting the same family. Miss llosa Beck, of Griffin, is visiting Miss Julia Clou*]. Miss Shelor, of Seneca City, S. ('., is visiting the family of Rev. J. M. White. Miss Eppie White has returned home after a pleasant week's visit to friends at Cassville. Your correspondent attended u Sunday school convention at Sonora on the ’JO and 21st of July, and was delighted witli my trip, 20 miles from Kingston. 1 was like a bird out of a cage, it was a pleas ant meeting and the good people met all the delegates and visitors so kindly ami opened the homes to us, it was my good fortune to be domiciled at the inagnifi nent home of Dr. Dudley. I feel under lasting obligations to Dr. 1). and family for kindness to me. Rev. J. M. White, pastor of the Metho dist church at this place will liegin a protracted meeting Sunday night the 31st. Sorry to report that Mrs. A. F. Wool ley has leen quite ill for a week but is much better. Jackie. PINE LOG. W. B. Vaughan lias returned from Salt Springs much improved in health. The Misses Irene and Julie Maxwell, daughters of Mr T. B. Maxwell, tire in attendance at Walesca high school. We were by no means surprised at see ing a small crowd at Sunday school on the last Sunday morning, owing to the ceaseless rain fall. Mr. J. P. Adair,in company with Thos. Hutcherson, jr., made a short visit to Pinelog on last Saturday. John reports school in a flourishing condition. If you want to get “took" just goto Mr. J. B. Britton's at the postoffice building, he is now prepared to do the work just right. Messrs. Franks A Heath sav they are not running a livery stable. \Ye suppose they think a hint to the wise is sufficient, as they keep their shop to work in. IV. H. King, esq., who has been sick for quite a while, we are glad to say was at last accounts improving. We hope ere long to see him able to be out among us and to attend to Ins official duties as justice of the peace, which office lie has so long and so faithfully filled to the great satisfaction of all. * CASS*STATION. We have had too much rain. Mrs. Lizzie Mundy, of Chattanooga, is down on a visit to her sister, Mrs. R. R. Hargis. * Judge .Levi Greer, of Gilmer county, visited Rev. B. B. Quillian Sunday. Gus Quillian and Hibbert Garwood have returned to Atlanta. ltev. Fleming Pharr, a student in Un ion Theological Seminary of Virginia, visited his uncle, Rev. Robt. F. Taylor, last week. Mr. lb 11. Garwood, of Atlanta, was at (’ass Monday. Capers Quillian is nursing a severe case of mumps. Miss Margaret Gilmer, a highly es teemed old lady, died tit her home above Cassville Saturday. Playing checkers and shooting marbles are the sports now indulged in by the boys. Misses Sallie Dodd and Edith Buddeu, who have been visiting relatives near Cass for several weeks, have returned to their home in Atlanta. Mr. F. It. Walker and family are visit ing relatives in Palmetto*, Ga. Eugene Barry lms returned to Atlanta. Rev. Fletcher Gilreath, of Cassville, is just recovering from a severe attack of pneumonia. Mr. J. D. Rogers, of Kingston, was in town Tuesday. Mr. Will Battle, of Grassdale, visited our village last week. W. C. W. IIALUS MILLS. Owing to the inclemency of the weath er there was not a very large crowd at our Sunday school picnic last Saturday, although the church was full. The exer cises were opened by Rev. J. W. Edwards, followed by two of our most noted ora tors, then a short sjieech by ('apt. J. F. Morton who delivered prizes to the suc cessful scholars. The dinner was spread upon the table prepared for that pur pose, but before we got through eating a shower of rain come up and ran the crowd to the house, where they finished their dinner. After dinner, the old folks went home, while the young remained, some sitting around in buggies, etc., per haps talking love, while others went to tlie church uml had a singing. Every body seemed to enjoy themselves splen did, except Mr. J. 11. Lumpkin, his girl was not present, and lie says dinner alone on such an occasion as that does not settle well with him. The speeches were interspersed with music led by Mrs. Edwards, which was very good. Mr. Sam Jones, of Uassville, was expected to make a speech but didn’t come on ac count of the rain. We cannot help but admire such occasions on account of the eatables, etc. The rains have been very heavy with us, though not doing much damage as yet, the prospects for the good crops are very flattering. Thecorn has grown out of the shuck, while the stalk has almost grown out of reach. Rev. A. U. Sugnrt is carrying on a meeting at the baptist church at this I place, several additions to the church. We notice in our midst Mrs. Harris, of Rome, Mrs. Wood, of Cedartown, J. It. ! Morton, of Alabamu and S. I*. Seay, of Birmingham. Ron Bail. VLB All CREEK. Rain continues to fall. It has been raining since Friday night, ceasing oply at short intervals. Even now while we write, three o'clock Mon day afternoon, there is a heavy shower falling. We have known the people of Hull's Mills and vicinity all our life, ami have always considered them a people of ener gy and great determination of purpose, and our consideration of them was not weakened in the least, when we learned that on last Saturday, the day of their annual picnic that notwithstanding the continued rain, the church was nearly filled with people from the surrounding country. Several from our community intended going but was prevented by the rain. I don’t know whether they were all as sadly disappointed as our folks or not, for when dinnertime came Saturday and the rain continued to fall, several long faces gathered around the table, but their appetites had gone ([suppose to Hall’s), and there was nothing fit to eat. The cake was too dry, the custard had too much edge, the biscuit wasn’t light enough, nor the pickles sour enough, but it was a very easy matter to account for it all. Everybody had soured because they could not get to the picnic, but the most amusing part of it all was that one poor fellow after forcing down a few mouthfuls and finding that the rain had ceased to fall, gathered his hat and started off in th>* direction of Hall’s, hoping, I suppose, that there would be a few scraps left, we learrsthat the rain felled him considerably before In reached Hall’s. There has been considerable sickness in the neighborhood and several deaths. i)n last Saturday morning at four o’clock Miss Margaret Gilmer died and was interred in the cemetery at Cassville Sunday morning. She was over seventy years old and has been a great sufferer since the 28th of last July, when she fell aud has been confined to her bed over since. I have seen her often since then and always found her resigned to the will of her Heavenly Father, whom she has tried to follow uncomplainingly through a long life. How sweet when this world has nothing more to offer us but pain and suffering, to l** released from its bonds and be permitted to rest under the shade of the tree of life, healed of till earthly imperfections and washed in the blood of the lamb. Water Lily. STEGALL. Plenty of rain. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Wheeler returned to their home in Alabama, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Goodson, who will spend several weeks with them. Mrs. George Lemon, of Acworth, paid several flying visits to Stegall's last week. We hope she enjoyed them, and will come again. Mr. Fred Bayley spent several days in Atlanta last week. Can you guess what for ? Has Dr. Pledger, of Acworth, any pa tients at or near Stegall? Maybe the Doc tor is a little sick himself, and conies to try the healing powers of our water—or something else not in a fluid state. The bridge near Col ('. M. Jones’ fell last Wednesday. Luckily, no one was injured. Our fanners are considerably alarmed in regard to their corn crops. Many acres in the Pumpkinvine bottoms have been overflown. We hope their prom ising crops are not ruined. “He sendeth the rain upon the unjust as well as the just.” Mrs. Jno. 11. McCay and her two daughters, Miss Mary and Miss Millie Ann left yesterday for Chestnut Gap, Fannin county, where they will spend a few weeks. There are more acorns this year than “Carter had outs.” The Etowali river got out of its banks. Pumpkin Vine Creek was several feet higher than the river. Col. Jones, Gus Bates, Emsley Stegall, Mr. Phillips and Bill Roberts were the principal sufferers from the everflows. More anon, if it ever stops raining. Sigma. GRASSDALE. We have had such a rain that every body and till tilings rejoice. From ap pearances, it seems to have been general; we hope so, at least. We are glad to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Crenshaw, who have been so sick for some time at Rowland Springs, have so far recovered as to be able to be brought to Mr. Sam Plttard’s, the fath er of Mrs. C., where, if good nursing and attention will avail anything, they will soon recover. We notice also a sister of Mr. (is with them, from Alabama. We predict tor Miss Crenshaw a pleasant time, for both young and old know how to make a guest have an enjoyable time and feel perfectly at home. The rain has considerably interfered with the protracted meeting, which has been carried on for the past week at Cross Roads, by Rev. Alfred Buford. Rev. P. E. Hawkins is at Smyrna, Cobb county, where he is carrying on a meeting. He is to be gone two weeks. This is the second year t hat Bro. Haw kins has had charge of this church. He is very much loved, has accomplished a great deal of good, and is building up a strong church. Miss Hattie Weems, of Rome, is visit ing the family of Mrs Weems and numer ous friends in her old childhood home. We are always glad to have her with us, but can hardly realize that she is now a young lady. The young folks lmd a watermelon cutting at Mrs. Weems’ on Tuesday night, the 20th. Ten as nice watermel ons as could be found graced the tables, and when cut, were both a beautiful and tempting sight. The melons were from th * patch of the enterprising young lawyer-farmer, Mack Johnson, of Cass Station. Now, if Mack takes such cqre of his farm as his crops go to prove, some nice young lady should not hesi tate to trust her future with him. The guests present were Mr. Sam Jones and Miss Irene Haynes, from Cassville; Gus Quillian and Herbert Garwood, Atlanta; Dr. Claude White and John Banton, Cartersville; the two Misses Weedon, who are visiting the family of Maj. Renfroe, and Miss Alice Renfroe, and Misses Al len i Best and Hattie Weems. All seem ed to have a good time. These social gatherings are indeed the life of a neigh borhood. Mrs. John Gibbons and family, from Rome, are at Mr. R. L. Gibbon’s. I am sorry to say that Mrs. Irick does not improve as fast as her many friends would wish. Dr. Battle, as a delegate from this cir cuit, attended the district conference at Dalton. After living so high and step ping around town for several days, it is hard for the Doctor to realize that he does not live in town, and it will be sev eral days before lie gels down to his nat ural way of talking to us clod-hoppers. If the young lady who left the bundle of fancy candy in my buggy will let me know her name, I will do my best to give her a good puli'. LATEST FROM AUGUSTA. The Loss Kstimuted at a Million Dollars— The River Falling. Augusta, August 1. —The people of Augusta awoke this morning to find the river receding rapidly, and there was rejoicing. At 3 o’clock it had fallen a foot from the highest point 35 feet, and at 11 o’clock to-night it had fallen to 30 feet and five inches. Broad street is now above water, but all the portion above Uuminiug and north of Broad is still inundated to a considerably depth. Greene street above Campbell is yet flooded, and water still extends through Dublin and over the south commons. Water is now swiftly flowing through the break in the canal at the hpad of Green street, but no damage other than the washing up of a few houses and fen ces, and the undermining of mrny others has yet been developed. The break at Lombard's founnry was the most serious, washing away one corner of the build ing and carrying off many valuable patterns, etc. The water in that neigh borhood, is still quite deep and is yet over tha floor of many houses. All man lier of household goods from different houses may be seen floating around in heaps. Streets from which the water has subsided are found to be in a fearful condition, great holes being washed in then. Hundreds of sewers burst and trash of all kinds is piled in heaps. Most of them are impassable, and it will take thousands of collars and months of la bor to again put them in proper condi tion. Tlie loss to the city will be great, I exceeding a mil ion dollars, and it will tak * many mouths before houses, yards ! and streets arc again as of old/ The portion of the city which suffered most is among the residences of the poorer classes, who will suffer much, but the citizens art* already subscribing liberally, and the council tins afternoon appro priated f 1,000 for that purpose, which will at least temporally relieve the suffer ers. Ina day or two, when all the rail roads again commence running on sched ule time, the city will regain its activity. The present legislature is grappling with a number of huge questions. There is one consolation to the people of Geor gia in the thought that they have never had a general assembly more capable of treating them wisely and safely than the present one.

IOC Wall St., N. Y. Remarkable Preservation of a Dead Body. Special Correspondent to the Globe-Democrat.] New York, July 29. —The neighbor hood and little village of Comae, near this city, on Long Island, has been con siderably excited of late over au intanee of remarkable preservation of the human body after death. On a farm near tlie village there is an old family burying ground, in which there are only four graves. No one has been buried in it for more than fifty years, and until recently the farm remained in the hands of the descendants of the persons there interred. As the farm has recently passed out of the possession of the family", they deter iued to remove the bodies from the little out-of-the-way plot and re-inter them in the village cemetery. Three of the graves were opened without any unusual dis coveries, but the fourth, which was the grave of a young man, aged 28, who had died from an accident while dead-drunk, some fifty years ago, was found to be still tenanted by a complete human form. The coffin, like the coffins of the other three bodies, was badly decayed, and when exposed to the air and sunlight quickly went to pieces. The clothing on the body, which had been his best .Sun day" suit apparently, was in much better condition; it held together, doubtless, because there was no decomposing of the body to rot it. The county people im mediately thought that the body was petrified, which, of course, it was not, as no human or other flesh ever can become turned to stone, although stone may so take its place as to deceive the unscien tific. The following description of the body was given the Globe-Democrat correspondent by a physician who hap pened to be in the neighborhood at the time. “The body, that of a tall man, was perfect in every part. The skin was of tin ashy, or putty-like, color. The eyes, hazel, were so well preserved that their color was quite easily recognized, al though the whites of them had turned yellowish in hue, and the aperture of the pupil had become opaque. The eyebrows had grown exceedingly bushy"; the beard was 18 inches or more iu length, and of a tawny, dirty color. The hair on the head, and in different parts of the body, had also grown, and seemed still to be growing. The finger and toe-nails were nearly" 1 inch long. The facestill had the bloated expression of a drunken man. On closely examining the body it was found to have been changed to that peculiar substance known scientifically as adipocere (adeps, hit; cera, wax-like), which has somewhat the consistency of soap, but far less density, and is the re sult of tin alkali forming a. chemical com pound, with margaric and oleic acids. Probably all bodies supposed to be pet rified are of this same formation, al though it may be possible for fossiliza tion to take place in some cases. There seems no definite rule as to its formation, as bodies buried in damp or dry graves, and even when completely immersed in water, have been found in the same con dition.” The body lias been reiuterred in the cemetery". Perhaps the alcohol helped to preserve it. ggJaGfated^ lIW TS It is not ‘‘the only’UFood, BUT IT l£ THE BEST FOOD, w V THE CHEAPEST FOOD,' f'THE HEALTH CIViNC FOOD. 1 For young Infants, it will prove a snfo substitute for mol tier’s nnlk: lor the Inva lid, or Dyspeptic it is of great value.

I could men tion numerous other cases. Please send me another dozen at once as I am entirely out and have six or seven bottles already engaged. It is truly a wonderful remedy. Yours truly. W.
