the new road gets through.
, The greatest blessings come in

ten acres ot poor cotton washed

hill and revealed an old churn with
$(>,000 in gold in it.
llenry county Weekly: The
telegraph poles on the located line
of the railroad are quite suggestive,
and make nature look peculiarly
beautiful. The wiremen are now
hard at work, and expect to have
communication in a short time.
, An Oglethorpe county farmer re"
calls the fact that the year 1828
was the exact counterpart of the
present one so far as regards crops,
but that one of the largest ones
ever known was raised the next

provided we don’t starve in the
meantime.

not a serleus one, though it was

Amcricus Recorder: “Nothing
has transpired in our county in a
long while of a sadder nature than
the sudden drowning on Saturday
morning last of the little son of Mr.
Sid K. Jordan, of Schley. Going
by the Parker, or old UamSey'irifuV
on rot urn ho no from A morions the
father left bis little boy in the bug
gy and went in to get a sack of
meal. The minor, Mr. Billy Parker,
came out to bold the mule, when
he took fright, backed off the dam,
precipitating the boy, buggy and
mule into the deep water. Though
unable to swim, Mr. Jordan sprang
mto save his son. It was some
moments before the miller could
r:3cue Mr. Jordan, during which
time the child sank. Unsuccessful
attempts were made to obtain the
child by diving; one party felt the
body with his foot- and brought it
up. Life was not quite extinct,
but all attempts at resuscitation
proved unavailing, the body having
been under water for nearly ten
minutes. The mule was also
drowned.”
Of the Covington fire, a dispatch
to the Augusta Evening News, of
August 31st, says: “This morn

covered issuing from the stores of
Thos. Camp and S. N. Stallings, on
the west side of the public square
in this place. The alarm was
sounded, and the citizens were-soon
upon the grounds to find the fire
under such headway as to be im
possible to save the buildings. The
flames spread rapidly, and . the en
tire block was soon enveloped by
the devouring element. The fol

A KISSING SPRING.
Waters that Taste like Apple Bran
dy and that Make the Boys and
Girls Hug.
Little Rock Gazette.
w_ ..ned correspondent at With
erspoon. writes: We are cordially
iinonned that fifteen miles north
east of here, on Greasy creek, one
of 1 ne greatest and most miracu
lous springs has recently been dis
covered on record. We have not
been to see them, but our informant,
a good citizen and a Baptist preach
er of celebrity, tells us what lie saw.
Parson John R. Yeatts was at the
spring last week and he says the
spring flows from a mountain about
four hundred feet high comes out
of the ground about 103 feet from
the top of the mountain, on the
north side, and flows at the rate of
about forty gallons par minute and
it is the color of apple cider and
tastes, just like apple brandy, and
has the same effect. Those under
the influence of the water are per
fectly ecstatic and hugging and
loving everything they meet. He
says : “I never saw the like —chil-
dren and boys and girls hugging and
kissing every one they meet. Old
men and old woman, young men
and young ladies embracing 6ach
other by huging and kissing. I
met an old whiteheaded man and
woman —I supoose about eighty
years old —and they were hopping
and skipping like lambs. I saw
hundreds lying around the spring
so drunk that they could not sland
up, and they were lying and laugh
ing and trying to slap their hands'.”
| The people call them the “milieu*
I mum springs.”

BRAVE KATE SHELLEY.
An lowa Girl’s Perilous Trip
Across a Bridge Through night
and Storm to Save a train.
Ogden, InVa, Reporter July 16.
On last Wednesday night, when]
O’Neil Donahue and Olmstead j
went down to death, a noble girt, j
but fifteen years of age, was watch-;
ing and praying for those whose l
duty called them out over the rail-!
xo&d in the fearful storm. Katej
Shelly, whose father was killed on
the rail road some years ago, liver j
with her muther just on tlie East]
side of the river, and nearly oppo- j
site where the engine made the fa
tal plunge and Donahue and Olm
stead lost their lives. Miss Shelley
and her mother heard the crash,
and, realizing what had happened,
Kate took her lantern ana, amid
the hurricane of wind, the deluge of
water, the incessant glare of the
lightning and peal after peal of
thunder, left her home and started
for the wreck. ITer light soon went
out but she felt her way through
the woods and fallen timbers to the
edge of the dashing waters that cov
ei ed the drowned men. She could
hecar, above the roar of the tempest,
the voice of Wood, the engineer,
who had caught in a tree top. She
knew that tlio express, with its
load of passengers, was nearly due,
and none to warn them of their dan
ger. She, a young girl, was the on
ly living being who could prevent
an awful catastrophe. The tele
graph office at Moingona or Boone
was the only place where wliere she
could notify the officers. To Boone
was five miles over hills and through
the woods, arid before she could get
there tile express would have passes.
To Moingona was only a mile, but
between her and Moingona was the
DesMoiues river, ten or fifteen feet
above its uatui gl hoivht and to.
cross this she niu.M over the
railroad bridge, • jeet above the -
rush!' : waters.—She must cross
this bridge, four hundred feet long,
with nothing but ties and rails, the
wind blowing a gale, and the foam
ing, southing, muddy * water J i>ek
neath. . Not one man in a thousand
but would have shrunk from such
a task. Not one man in five hun-
drad would have gone over at any
price or under any circumstances.
But this brave, noble girl with the
nerve of a giant, gathered about
her, her flowing skirts, and on
hands and knees crawled over the
long, weary bridge. Tie after tie
was passed. It was time for tlio ex
press train to come dashing over
the bridge, and to hurl her down to
death amid the dark and muddy
waters of the rushing, roaring riv
er.—The blood from her lacerated
knees ha3 stained her dress, but
she does not falter. She reaches
the shore, and the remaining half
mile she flies almost, to the tele
graph office. Breathless and in
broken accents she tells her tale of
death and destruction, and faints
in the arms of the bystanders. The
wires were set at work and a more
horrible disaster averted.

Editor Argus ;
Dear Sir: In reply to
Jurors as to the questions propounded
bv me in your issue .of theJoth Aug., and
alluded to" by them in your issue of the
Ist inst.,
I will state that they were not asked
that jurors might explain more freely as
to what their intentions ware.
The presentments are full and clear-
Neither were they asked at the late
and ate of which jurors complain for the
pure ose of placing blame, or responsibil
ity upon them. No legal responsibility
can attac hto grand-jurors in making rec
omendations which are merely advisory.
In conclusion let me say that the law
makes me alone responsible, and if the
ohirers show a legal right to the hundreds
of dollars, which I hold they have drawn
out of the eouuty Treasury without au
thority of law, then let the storm of in
dignation rise, and the thunders of dis
approval fall on me. Respectfully,
J, F. Carmichael. Ordv.,
THE HEROINE OF THE WHITE
HOUSE.
Washington Post.
* According to Captain Henry, of
the Presidential household, the first
stampede of the doctors occurred
on Friday, a little after noon. The
symptoms then were so extremely
alarming that they held a hasty
consultation and made one more
effort to struggle against what ap
peared to bo .the inevitable decree
of fate. In spite of every effort they
could make, it seemed that the pa
tient was rapidly sinking and his
tenure of life only a question of a
few minutes or hours. The great
est crisis of all qad apparently
arisen, Another consultation, and
it was decided that Mrs, Garfield
should be immediately notified to
prepare for the worst. Having come
to this determination, two ol their
number visited Mrs. Garfield in her
room and plainly laid before her
what they believed .to bo the real
terrible facts in the case. They
ur.d that it was useless to struggle
[ !o. igor, tl lat eye n what they _ coal 1
do W 53 little, and the limitation of
surgery had been reached. They
stated the situation as tenderly as
possible, and asked that she no lon
ger delude herself with the idea of
there being any hope of recovery.
This was really the first time that
\ they had formerly given up the
case. It was then that the pluck
of this brave little woman cacao to
the surface. Every feeling of love,
and duty, and tenderness of the
wile and mother came uppermost
in an instant. Rising erect before
'•them* and firmly setting her lips
against the expression of the emo
tion that struggled for utterance,
she bravely said:
“Gentlemen, you shall not give
him Up. Ho is not going to die ; he
going to live. I feel —I know it
back to vour post every one of
you* and leave it not until o very
remedy is exhausted—until death
‘itself has set his seal upon him, for
I will not believe that he is dying.
Go back and do what you can.
4You cannot do more, but don’t give
up. I am his wife, and I sav that
we will not give up until tho end it
self is upon us.”
“In this style,” says Capt. Henry,
‘!she met the first stampede of the
doctors. This is not, perhaps, her
exact language, but it conveys the
ilea. There never was such a wo-
Tfian. Such has never given wav
ipnger than a minute or two at a
fjime to the display of the grief
4fiich at times well-nigh consume
Yp. As soon as these short parox
isms pass away she would return
more to her post, and seemed
tb inspire those around her with
fie same indomitable spirit, with
same limitless will, with the same
4j.pernatural energy. All along she
lias has borne herself with the most,
remarkable grit I ever saw in a wo
man. It beats all. While the rest
of iis were weakening and trembl
ing between hopes and fears, she, a
weak woman as you would call her,
st.omed inspired with this womler
f T : a min aof mind and body. If
GSffiel I owes big hfe to anybody, it
is |o Mrs. Garfield. But for her I
believe. he would long ago have
sifiomnted to the icy hand of death.
T■•her tne nations owes it for pre
servation of his life. This seems
extravagant, but i tell you wo can
net give her too much praise.”
A A FEARFUL CRIME.

In Which Five Demoniac Brutes •

;01i£ton, Wayne co., Ten a., Citizen.
Thursday, of last week, a party of
twelve persons, claiming to hail from
the neighborhood of Pulaski, in
Giles county, passed through our
tewn en route for Arkansas or Tex
as. They had all their plunder on
a truck wagon, which was drawn by
tvo men and two boys. This “hu
njan team” had collars and harness
nfade to fit their nek and shoulders,
ah and the wagon was rigged out with
4l the modern improvement—dou
h’etree, single trees, neck yokes, etc
The party reached our town Thurs
day morning, and remained over
that night, camping out in the su
b irbs of town, and begging cold
victuals from the citizens to live on.
4t about 11 o’clock the men belong
ing to the party walked up the riv
erbank to Roach’s landing, and
mere binding Roach’s ferryboat, un
tied the same and put out down the
ijiver, landing at the mouth of Ross’s

Just in the act of pushing off, when
4 party of had been wateh-
Mg their maneuvers cams up and
arrested them. Then a general
fowling was set up afnong tho wo
men and children, each woman, clai
ming that her husband was not to
blame that he, was persuaded into
fee theft by tne others. The men
owned up that thev stole the boat,
that it was the first theft they
<feer committed; that they were dri-
Ivn to ibon account of want.; that
they had been forced to leave their
rrriiye county and seek some other

when the meur du.od
wfththoboHt they were arrested,
and propositions were made to them
irthey would turn over their wives
for the night, that they would release
them. This proposition was re
pe&tediy declined, but after awhile
tLo men consented and the women
were taken off and outraged by
four or five different men, and when
these hellish crimes had been ac
complished, the movers were por
mitte ito go on their way. The
above are the facts before us. as
we write early Monday morning,
Esquire W. P. Haggard has been
dispatched for, to come in and issue
warrants for the arrest ot the rap
ists, and parties have been dis
patched after the movers to bring
them back and witnesses of them
for the prosecution. The good peo
ple of the town are at fever heat
and if the evidence substantiates
the above account the guilty par
ties will suffer all the penalties of
the law, for this darkest of crimes
R. Miller has just returned with
the two women and one man. ' The
woman who swore out the warrant
is by the name of Margaret Murry.
The evidence was as follows:
That live men (whom she describ
ed, so that it is known that Jackson
Middle!-. >h. Pork Middleton, Jo
Woe ly, Elias Button and Tobias
Pawley, are ydhc guilty parties,)
came to where they were camped
and made improper demands of
them, that they refused them, and
the money they offered; that when
their husbands returned they ar
rested them, and promised their
husbands to turn them loose if they
would deliver up their wives—this
the men refused to do, saying they
had rather die. The mob then took
out their pistols and threatened to
blow their husbands’ brains out if
they did not submit. Finally the
women yielded to the hellish de
signs of the brutal mob, and their
persons were repeatedly violated.
The warrants were issued as above
stated and placed in the hands of
Sheriff McGlamery, but up to this
time, Monday evening, the guilty
parties had not been found—they
all having gotten wind of what was
up and ‘‘sloped.”
Tuesday morning—Sheriff Mc-
Glamery and a large posse of men
scoured the Woods and surround
ing country yesterday and last
night but with no success. The
citizens of this town and vicinity
have offered a good reward for the
capture and conviction of the par
ties. The reward will be published
together with tho description of the
men, and sent to all parts of the
country in a few days. Parties wish
ing to subscribe to the reward can
do so with either Sheriff McGlamery,
R. Miller, town marshal, or at this
office.
