Neve*’ in the of Yeeun bus
tlie Gcmulgee raged and boiled with
such fury on yesterday Its nat
ural current was fumed into a flood
dint swept by the city with the force
of a deluge, The water flowed in an
gry torrent that seemed determined
to sweep away everything before it.
Houses, cows, horses and other ani
mals dashed by on the stormy bos
om of the Ocmnlgoe like so' manv
feathers.
On Thursday, the 17th. the Oc
rnulgee river, at this point rose near
to the high watermark of the Har
rison freshet -of March, 1841, and
>n tlie dav following it was above
that memorable mark and reached
within an inch and a half of the
great eentenial freshet of April,
187(>. On Thursday night the rise
continued very heavily along the
three tributary streams that from
the river, which so increased the
volume of water that it rose above
the highest mark ever recorded bv
our most “ancient and honorable”
human aquatics, the water having
risen three inches above the cen
fceuial and eight inches above tlie
Ha*rison mark.
Friday night the cloiuls poured a
perfect deluge upon the city and
the very heavens seemed, as if they
would be washed from their foun
dations. This mightydijo'd of wa
ter. of course, swelled the Oemul*
gee greater’than’ever, so- with the
coming of yesterday morning, the
river presented a view never before
seen in Maoon The water rolled
up into the park; washing clear
aen>ss the mi le track.' We* todk a
drive through the park yesterday
with Mr. Clay and found the water
at the park gate nearly at'the hub
of the wheel, while just behind the
grand stand the Water came’ nearly
into the biiggy. All the flower-beds
are perfectly Submerge?l. ’ East Ma
con, nearly to tlie’factory, is sub
merged, while boat-houses, etc., have
been swept away.
Thousands of people visited tire
river during the day, and many
took boat rides where only the day
before were houses and gardens.
Such a sight has never has nevei
before occurred in these parts in
the receolleetion of the white men.
Yesterday afternoon the waters
began to fail, and Mo doubt during
the night will recede a considerable
distance. Much damage has been
done in the Held’s along the river.
The river lias been so full of wa
ter tor so long a period as during
the last four months, nor w as there
ever so many freshets in one sea
son along its course. The present
freshet is the fourth one since last
November, and each one is noted
for its gaea-t volume of water. The
Oemul gee takes its name from the
Indian Uc or Qch, which signifies
water, and Mulgee bubbling or
boiling ; the name was applied from
the many springs that were found
along its Course and whose pure wa
ters flowed into its channel. One
of its tributaries heads in Fulton
and file other two head in Gwinett
county. The three streams unite
about fifty miles above Macon,
northv/est 'of Montlcello. Small
boats oi fifty Pujs, more than fif
ty years ago, navigated these tribu
utaries.
VI rihvorxo FOLKS.
The hoys
There coiue the boys ! 0 dear the noise,
The whole house feels the racket;
Behold the kuee of Harry’s pants,
And weep o’er Bertiebs jacket.
But never mind, if eyes keep bright,
And limbs grow strait and limber;
AA e'd rather lose the tree’s who bark
Than find, unsound the timber!
Now hear the tops and marbles roll?
Tlu* floors—O, woe betied them !
And I must watch the banisters,
For T knew boys who ride them?
Look well as you descend the stairs,
I often find them haunted
By ghosty toys that make no noise,
Just when their noise is wanted.
The very chairs are tied in pairs.
And made to prance and caper ;
AVhat /- words are whittled out of sticks!
AVhat bravo hats made of paper!
The dinner hell peaks loud and well.
To tell the milkman’s coining;
And then the rush of “steam car trains”
Sets all of our ears a humming.
How oft I say* ‘‘What shall I du
To keep these children quiet ?”
If I could find a good receipt.
I certainly should try it.
Bur what to do with these wild hovs,
And all their din and chatter,
I- really quite a grave affair—•
No laughing, trifling matter.
“Bovswill be boys’ - —hi t not i.ok u>no:
Ah, could we hear a limit us
This thought—how very soon our Ik. vs
Will learn to do without us!
How soon hut tall and deep-voiced men
Will gravely call us “Mother:’'
Or we lx* stretching empty hands
From this world to the other
Aiofv gently we should chide the noise
- Aful when night quells the racket,
'hitch in but loving thoughts and pravers.

DR. J. K. UR VAN'S.
Dr. IF is the present Mayor of
our town, and has for Councilmen
our worthy citizens', R. J. Lawson,
J. G. Daughtry Jesse-F. Cleveland
and \\'. A. Elder jr. He is titty
four years old and lias been tor
tliirty-one years a practicing pliisi
tion, in this county. A profession
in which lie has feW if any Superi
ors. He is the inventor and sole
proprietor of a valuable medicine
familiarly known as “Lemon Juice
and Mineral Water. '
In connection with his practice
he runs the bath house at the Spring
and does a fine business in - that
line, during the Summer season.
The Dr. retains all the vigor of mind
and body of 80 years ago and those
who knew him then would find
'jut little change in him except
the frosty hue that has erept intohis
locks v He is one of our most pub
lic, spaired citizens with a powerful
energy and undantable wiil, with
him t-owill a thing and preserve is
to succeed, and w'hile he is very
lenient and indulgent to those who
may have business transactions with
him, yet he never yields his point
or relaxes his hold when forced in
to litigation, is self reliant and
often risks his Judgement instead
of his books, in -treatment of his
patients, is a good Judge of human
nature and is seldom deceived in
his conclusions, is charitable and
sympathetic. hi]t obstinate stub
born and unyielding, when drawn
into controversy, loves fun for a
short season but jests but little
worships from a sence of duly more
than from emotion. He has se
emed a competence, but tvould
have been a great deal better off
financially if he had not engaged
in any other business but his pro
fession, although he is found of his
profession hr- loves to experiment,
in other branches of industry and.
has in the last few r years been en
gaged in tlie merchant!le business
and farming.
Does not engage in other persuits
with a desire for gain so much
as from a desire to employ his
mind.
During the time he has served
in an official capicity as Mayor,
his management of affairs has giv
ensatisfactioii. and the most perfect
order and quiet is preserved on
our streets the scenes of disorder
and profanity that disgraced our
town a few months ago are things
of the p;ist, and visitors tu our
town may have no fear of being ex
posed to scenes of Blackguard and
drunken revelry in tlie future, Dr.

SENSIBLE TALK FROM BROTH

A few years ago I * saw a very lit
tle mule being driven through one
of our streets. Not having much
horse scr-se in those days we asked
some nian if lie supposed that little
mule could make’ a crop. “Yes."
said a healthy looking countryman,
whom we didn’t know. “Yes, that
critter could tend thirty acres easy.
I know, for that was the year I plow
ed on half rations. You see. I came
to Hmv.kinsv.ille and tried to get
somebody to run life, hut nobody
Would do me the favcA, Well, I just
went hack home and did the best I
could. I worked on half rations—
ploughed barefooted and had meat
not more’n half the time. But I
made a crop with that little mule,
and at the end of the year I was not
in debt, and blamed if] have ael:ed
anybody for credit since that* day,
either." And the nptn looked inde

that he had coni to sell and meat

mean to indorse the advice of that
crude philosopher, Josh Riflings,
who says, if you want to get rich
get all you can, keep all you get,
and eat w hat yo.u can’t sell. Neith

his stomach or go naked to put mon
