Crttwfonl Itoiinell Arrested and CerrlejJ tu Macon Chnrffed With Counterfeiting/ The people of Berrieu county >ro startled last Monday by the news, which spread like wildfire, lliat Crawford Bonnolly-a/yonng white man living a few ipjifa south of Brookfield—had beenjftrrested the day before and carrieil to Macon by depnty United States Marshall Avant upon n ohargo of making and passing counterfeit money. The editor of tlie Gazbttk is well acquainted with Bomibll and ns soon us the matter was brought to ids knowledge he sturted out in search of tlie fucts in the case. Learning that Air. W. 0. Tift had spent an hour or more with the officers in theii rooms at Hotel Smli“, and prob ably knew more about it than any other person in tlie city, lie sought an interview with him at the first opportunity. From Mr. Tift lto learned that tlie young man, Bonncll, lmd been, arrested at his home south of Brookfield; that the officers found the counterfeiting apparatus at his hoiiGo and some of the spurious mon ey in his possession. It seems that Bunnell was located by a young white man, named Hardy Wheelis, wlio hud been arrested in Afacon for passing counterfeit money. Notwithstanding tlie evidence against Bounell is strong—finding tlie apparatus in his house aud lie in possession of spurious money—-every body in the county who knows him, arc ulmest positive lie is not guilty of tlie charge against him. Ami they believe, further, that ho is a victim of Wheeiis who lmd been en gaged in the ucfarioiiu business and lmd left the apparatus at Bomicll’s house und gone oft to get. rid of his output; and for the further purpose of having a pluusiole blind in the vent, lie should he caught in tile not of “shoving the queer.” TIiobo intimately acquainted with Konnoll know him to be a half wit ted fellow and’ they will he hard to couviuco tlmt lie lmd sense enough to utter counterfeit money so perfect it requires an expert and olose scru tiny to discover its spurionsness. Bonncll, some years ago, was ad judged a lunatic and sent to the asy lum for treatment, He carries ou Ida phisiognomy tlie defective mark of nature so clearly tlmt it doesn’t require, a oloso observer to detect it. Wheelis is reported ns a rascal of no small calibre. He is said to lie wanted in Oglethorpe county for murder mid theft and in Washington county for theft.

A sudden and one of the suudes deaths that lias ever come under our observation occurred in this city lust Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Thomas II.

They begin their voracious work ns soon as the plant lifts its puny head above the surface, of the plant bed. There are different kinds ami “soots" of these eneinics—the flea bug, tlie cut worm, the bml worm aud tlie horn worm; and, if perchance the plant survives these and tenches the mnnufntory, then the tobacco crank begins his work, ami really there is no rest for the bewitching tobacco wood until Us substance is lost, through the fumes of the gentle pipe of peace or abused otherwise as lie chews. Tho first enemy to ply his vaca tion is the (leu bug, ami begins his depredations in the plant bed soon after the plants are up. Tho most satisfactory way to rid tlie plants of them is to apply a light coating of plaster In which a few drops of kor- osene oil Imvu been added; if tho first application is not sufficient, repeat as /iften as is necessary. Another of fectivo remedy is to saturate yarn rags with kerosene oil, split a stick, put the corner of the rag in tlie split and suspend it jirnt above tlie plants. They should he placed about four feet apurt around and across tlie hod. Those little pests tiro worse somo sea sons limn others, und nothing hut tlie closest watchfulness will insure the safety of the young plants when uttaoked by them. Next, in turn, is tho cut worm, which begins its work after the plants have been transplanted. Tide is tho ordinary cut worm which crawls from tlie ground at night and ants off the tender plant just as he does the cabbage or other plant. Tho only effectual way to destroy them is to hunt them down und sep arata the head from the body. Stub ble clover or lands that have been allowed to grow up in weeds aro pro lific yieldcrs of tho cut worm. Tlie hud worm conies next in ro tation, and is tlie worse of all ene mies which infest the tobacco plaut, and yet the least troublesome as they nre not very prolific. However they wilt do, greater damage in a given period of time than any other und, therefore, should bo looked after very closely. Its home is 111 the ten der bml of the tobucco plant, where it feeds ou the tender toms so that when they grow out, they are per forated with lioles, rendering them utmost useless for anything but trash. The only remedy to rid tho plant of them is tho same method by which you get rid of tho cut worm, Now comes the majesties) horn .worm, the crop destroyer. The to bacco fly usuully makes its appear mice in Aluy and deposits the eggs which hatch out in about six days. Tlie growing stage of the worm is about thirty days. It shods its outer skin twice before attaining its growth; after which it remains only a few days, then burrows into tho ground and “turns to pupa,” wliioh sends forth a moth or “fly” to lay more egg*. Each fly will lay from one to three hundred eggs; eo, from every moth in Aluy, we can expect ohc hun dred worm of the first brood. If none of these are destroyed, hut all permitted to change to flies, ia it any wonder that tho second brood ap pears in such countless numbers, ruining the crop many times before they can be destroyed. Tlie fly should he destroyed on first appear ance, and the best, known method of exterminating them is to inject sweetened cobalt into the flowers of the jimpson weed every day just be fore rundown. The fly naturally goes to the flowers of those weed’s tlieir supper before beginning dr labor of laying eggs after dark, the cobalt they are poisoned ifore layiiig any eggs. If ter should wage this wav of extermination on the of worms they would not t numerously later in the sc is advisable for every planter the jimpson weed in ancTuT tobacco farm for the beneti 1 blossoms through which to adux u ter the cobalt. 4 tepm 4J6p m in IL Ladles.

While there he and his partner, Mr. Geo. W. Gray, showed us about their premis es and also their spletidid mill prop erty. Hard by their old saw mill they arc erecting a mammoth new one' which, when completed and put in ’ ; operation, will far surpass anything we have seen ou tho Brunswick and Western railway, ami there arc some splendid ones among the number. TIhb mill will possess all the latest and most approved machinery uml labor-saving appliances, und com pleted will represent an expenditure of many thousand dollars. Mr. Gatchelt is not only a first- class mill man but a progressive far mer and fruit grower. Ho has on firm’s premises fine pear and ’ peach orchards, with plenty of thrifty fruit on tlie trees, also two small but flour ishing vinoyards. Besides tiieso they have si variety of other fruit und nut trees mid vines.

They have also a well ordered fish pond, hut our limited time did not permit ns to visit it Everything about their place ex hibited an air of thrift, good, taste and splendid'judgment. Both of these gentlemen started their business lit Leliutou poor men but thoroughly in love with their business and they havo' succeeded far heyoml their most sanguine ex pectations. Both are practical .me chanics uml mill men und give their personal supervision to every hit of work requiring skill. The swret.of tlieir success is—they know their business and have boqnd themselves to it with u tenacity tbiit knows no failure. Air.
