CRAWFORDYILLE DEMOCRAT,, Volume 7. THROUGH GEORGIA, AND CATCHING THE NEWS AS WE GO. THE CRIMES, THE CASUALTIES AND THE OTHER HAPPENINGS IN THE EMPIRE c TaTE, AS OUR EXCHAN GES BRING THEM TO US.—THE WEEK’S DOINGS CONDENSED BY THE DEMO¬ CRAT FOR THE INFORMATION OF ITS READERS. Walker county lumber is bringing $40 per hundred at Chattanooga,Tenn. Ciltner county people drive eighty miles to find a market for their apples. The Carroll Free Press estimates the cotton shipments of Carrollton at 9,000 bales. Tlie importation of foreign articles to the port of Savannah is consiantly increasing. The death list of Savannah, last week, was twenty-one— uine blacks and twelve whites. The Brooks farmers are already pre¬ paring for a large watermelon crop next year. Leonard Roberts, charged with the murder of the Thomas brothers, in Lowndes county, has been acquitted. Ebenezer Sweet, of Screven county, has been joined in marriage to Jane Lemon, it is better Sweet than lemon. An effort will be made to raise the liquor license in Darien to §501) next year. It is §100 now. A large majority of the Carr .ill coun¬ ty funnels are said to have their smoke¬ houses at home. There is wisdom in that method. There is going to be a spelling match between the boys and girls in Hartweii, and tlie Stta wants to bet that the girls will beat. The Middle Georgia Agricultural OoGege at Mill-edgevilie is in a nour¬ ishing condition. There are about four hundred pupils in attendance, taught by thirteen teachers. There is a man now in Dublin who is related by Hood and marriage, and not very distantly, to live dx-presidents of the United Slates. Ml Harris is bis name. Some scoundrels entered tlie maible ya.d of K. D. Walker, of Savannah, on Wednesday night, and mutilated some beautiful and costly monuments. A surviving member of the Tugalo B ues, who went to tlie war from Franklin county, is endeavoring to learn the whereabouts of the company’s old Hag. A cross tie was placed on the Bruns¬ wick and Western track between Wes tonia ami Kirkland a lew days ago, with the evideut intention off wrecking / ;n ; reigtit 1 train which passed at 110011 W. R. Steplienson, of Hartwell, has a violin that caiue from Italy, and is so old that the chins of tlie players have nearly worn it through to the §100. hoi low by rubbing. It is valued at Burglars occasionally make a big haul in Atlanta. Tlie city is very poorly protected, because the police force is too small for tlie purpose. A son—14 years of age--of W. A. (Judiian, of Harmony Grove, while bunting a few days ago, had the mis¬ fortune to get his left hand torn to pie¬ ces by tiie explosion of the gun. Am¬ putation being necessary, it was taken off above the wrist. It is claimed that a Lowndes county man makes out of sugar cane a kind of beer which will make a man forget the way home. The infernal revenue fel¬ lows will be after him as soon as lie be¬ gins to work bis secret. The law, or want of law, in the case, is nothing to the purpose with that gang. Fierce county jail furnishes pie to its inmates. It is the intention of tlie jai¬ lor to get an upright piano and other comfort for those who are fortunate enough to secure lodgings with him. Dublin Gazettes : It is a remarkable fact that every child born in Dublin the preseut year have been females and last year every one born were males. There have been six or eight births within the past mouth’ Miller county has added another to her long list of tragedies. Three weeks ago Henry Wilkins, colored, married a likely negro girl of his acquaintance. He insisted on her taking in washing for a living. The bride refusing to de¬ stroy her honey-moon thus, the hus¬ band levelled his shot gun at her and killed her dead. The down “fast mail” now gets sup¬ per from Harlem. The conductor sends a dispatch to Mr. J. L. Hussey, from Uniou Point, telling him how many lunches are desired, and Capt. Reid who furnishes it, arranges them in baskets, and when the train arrives, Mr. Henry Branan, serves tne people while coming on to Augusta. This is very convenient to parties going to Chailesion, and other points, who do not have lime to get their meals in Au „ usla The coffee County Gazette says: “Mr. DeBose, of this place, has a curi „„„ instrument end the first nf tliekindwe nave ever’seen. It is a home-made machine, and is a box about three feet long by eighteen inch es wide and one and a half inches m depth. On top are two sounding boards,which are filled with 3teel wires, tone is low and soft, and we believe an accomplished performer can make ex celleiit music.” CRAWFORDYILLE, GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30th, 1883. Patents Gra uted. The following patents were granted to citizens of Georgia, week, ending November 20, 1883, reported expressly for this paper by Jos. H.

The Augusta News, of 27th instant says: “The ladies are becoming mightily interested in the Stephens Monumental Benefit. The committee mentioned on Saturday met to-day in the Library and decided on a dramatic entertainment to take place during the holidays,and a committee of prominent ladies are now making overtures to gifted young ladies in order to secure their aid and talent in this worthy cause. Major George T. Jones, who is President of the association, is very much interested in the movement, and he and the committee of ladies are es¬ pecially anxious that the youug ladies called upon shall accede to their wishes and give their practical aid in this matter. There is no objection to the young people having a social and ele¬ gant affair, and we hope they will all respond. • — The Best Heading. Every family that desires to provide for its young people wholesome and in¬ structive reading matter should send for specimen copies of tlie Youtli’s Companion, of Boston. It is the bright" est and best of papers for young peo¬ ple. Its columns give more than two hundred stories yearly by the most no¬ ted authors, including J.T.Trowbridge, William Black, Harriet Beecher St woe, Thomas Hardy, Mrs. Olipliant and ma¬ ny others, besides scientific articles by eminent specialists, tales of adventure by noted travellers, papers of encour¬ agement and adrice by men and wom¬ en of ability and experience, and rem¬ iniscences and anecdotes of famous people. With a circulation rapidly ap preaching 350,000 copies a week, tile Y 0 utM’s Companion, can well afford to spread such a feast before its patrons ; and spreading such a feast, it is no wonder it lias such a tremendous circu latiou. ■— • — SPECIAL LOCALS. —(.'locks one and eight day, from §2 to $1U at C.

Brack fell through the floor of the saw mill at Leslie’s, and received painful injuries. We understand that several of Ins ribs were broken, and that, for a t ime, fears were entertained lest he, had received serious injuries. J At last accounts, he was doing well with every prospect of a speedy recovery. On Monday morning last, Mr. Win. Veazey, while in bis father’s store, ac¬ cidentally shot himself with a 32 cart¬ ridge pistol, The bah entered under tlie chin just to tlie right of medium line and ranged obliquely to the left, passing through the tongue, entering the socket of the left upper second mo¬ lar tooth and emerging just under the left|orbit,leaving theeyejball hitact. lie was very weak and unconscious, when found, having bled considerably from the wound ; but, soon revived and was restored to consciousness. Medical aid was summoned promptly ; and, the wound though painful is not consider¬ ed mortal. Owing to the nature of the wound tiie unfortunate young man has not been able to speak, and tlie circum¬ stances attending tlie shooting is un known. —- • B. B. B.

TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL. Mr. Frank Joseph, lives at 243 Jones street, Atlanta, and has a promising boy of six summers. When the boy was about three years of age a peculiar swelling was discovered on Ins neck. Carious liniments, poultices, ceptible effect. etc. were The applied swellings without increased, a per¬ although internal and external remedies were used continually. Becoming alarmed, a physician was called in who at once pro¬ nounced it a genuine case of well develop¬ ed scrofula. He used all the various rem¬ edies usually resorted to by the medical profession became in such diseases,but other glands ed affected, and finallv they arid discharg¬ large quantities presented of matter, slough¬ ing of the parts a ghastly siglit. The hoy became quite feeble and greatly emaciated, and uni hie, ■‘to walk, lluring a period of over two years his condition be¬ came head, more perilous—the hair fell from his and he rapidly lost his eyesight. During and all this time he was properly cared for treated, and was also treated at New Medical college for three months, yet his condition steadily grew worse. Now comes the almost miraculous escape of this lad. Ilis eyesight was restored.thc hair stopped falling off, the glandular swelling subsided, tlie horrible ulcerated surfaces novated healed, the whole system was re¬ and mired -sound and well, all by the use of only one single bottie of Ii.ll.HA Boranic Blood Balm—which can he had at 81.00 per bottle.
