The last issue of the News, pub¬
lished at Franklin, Heard county, Ga.,
contained the following: “Our es¬
teemed friend and teacher, Professor
Morgan If. Looney, has a most ex¬
cellent school at Carnesville. He
has also been selected as one of the
five Georgia teachers for the Normal
Institute to be held in Gainesville in
August next. But no honor is too
large for Prof. Looney. He stands
unsurpassed among the educators of
the South.”
Shooting Must Stop.
Shooting on or near the public
square must stop, so the city fathers
have decreed. An ordinance was
passed last week forbidding the dis¬
charge of firearms within one hun¬
dred yards of a street or residence
within the incorporate limits, and vi¬
olators xvill Ik* heavily fined. Mayor
Rampley says he w ill enforce the or¬
dinance, and intends to stop the
shooting that has been going on
around the square for a long time.
It is a good laxx - and should be rig¬
idly enforced.
Prof. Looney’s Lectures.
Prof. Looney has so far recovered
from his recent illness as to be able
to resume his lectures to his Compo¬
sition class. He spoke last Saturday
morning to a very large and atten¬
tive audience, on the “Influence of
the Dead Upon the Living.” Judg¬
ing fruiu his sickness one might think
his voice would be impaired, but aot
s it is as clear and musical as ever.
The speech was a master effort,
flashing with Wit, flowing with elo¬
quence, and sounding with logic. It
exemplified the united qualities of the
orator and poet—containing the hid¬
den beauties of poetry and brightest
gems of oratory.
Prof. Looney lectures every Sat¬
urday morning at 10 o’< lock at the
Academy. Every one is cordially
invited to be present.
Couldn't Stand the Sunshine.
A young mail of this town obtain¬
ed a position to fire an engine for
Mr. Robert Neal’s saw mill, and last
Saturday he entered upon his duties.
It was a very warm day, and there
was net a shade or shelter in quarter
of a mile of the engine. The sparks
from the engine set his coat on fire,
ami burned the back of his vest and
shirt almost off. The heat was al¬
most unliearable, and added to his
labor* he had to cut the wood w ith
a dull axe. Monday morning he
sent Mr. Neal .the following note:
“MswNeal, I can’t fire your engine
any more. I had 4 chills this morn¬
ing, and think I will take the fever.
If I thought I was going to Hades I
would come back to work and get
prepared for the furure. Firing an
engine in the middle of a field is too
hot for my blood.” After dispatch¬
ing the above note the fireman re¬
sinned his duties hauling goods from
the depot.
An Unknown Reptile Killed.
Saturday morning last, while we
were sitting in our office reading the
beautiful truths in the Testament,
and the promises that are in the
beautiful beyond for printers and
others who hold out faithful to the
end, our office was invaded by Mr.
Newt Browning, who runs a farm
near town, who had just killed one
of the largest snakes that has been
in this section for a number of years.
He found his snakeship in the bot¬
toms near tho creek, and seeing its
large proportions, was afraid to un¬
dertake to kill it by bimself. Frank
McKee,-who was ditching near by,
was called and responded with a pick
and spade, and after quite a hard
fight the huge monster was killed.
It was twelve feet and three inches
in length, and of a kind unknown in
this section. It appeared to be an
amphibious reptile, and when it was
cut open four musk-rats were found
in it, also a number of frogs and fish
and the shells of two or three water
Se :' l '" 1 , P“ mc . ” il T . t T h0 .
. It the largest snake
pronounce
ever saw. Its ski,, was badly cut
and was unfit to st off, which
it being placed on exhibition.
Mr. Browning captured it alive
cmihl have sold it to suing
for a nice sum.

Perhans the queerest lawsuit on

one a in

that which was recently decided in
Morgan county. A drummer hired
a mule and buggy to go in Sic coun-
try. The mule became contrary and
backed the buggy in a fence jam.
The drummer plied whip and the
mule kieked back. The mud flew,
but the drummer held his own.
„„ H hen patience ceased to be a virtue,
the commercial gentleman drew from
his hip pocket a Smith A Wesson
howitzer and killed the long-eared
source of danger. The owner of the
mule , _ brought . 8Uit . again*! . the .1 drum-

whereupon the jury brought in the
verdict: -We, the jury,
find the defendant not guilty, and
