The Georgia Cracker is the name
of a humorous, illustrated paper’
published in Atlanta, which seems
to be making a good deal of reputa
tion. The Atlanta correspondent
of the Macon Telegraph says that
its circulation has reached 14,000.
It is now stated authoritatively
that Senator Boynton will not be
in the congressional race in the
Fifth district, but that Judge Stew
art will. As the field now stands
the race will be between Ham
mond, Jackson and Stewart for the
nomination. The defeat of such a
man as Nat Hammond would bo a
public calamity.
R. C. Humber, of Putnam county,
whose name has been mentioned
in connection with the treasury de
partment of the State at the next
election, was badly wounded during
the late cyclone. He had a great
deal of property also destroyed.

George F. Pierce, Esq., of Han
cock county, solicitor-general of the
northern circuit, died recently at
his home in Sparta. He had been
sick but a few days, though his
health has been feeble for some

Bishop Pierce, and was looked upon
as one of the most brilliant young
men in the State.
Senator Brown’s friends are inti

say that he is working for it with

he will be pretty apt to “get there

In Bartow county there is a vast
saltpeter cave, the property of Col.
Mark Hardin. From time immemo

large chambers in which tons and

proposed to mine this out and use it
for fertilizers.
The next Legislature will elect a
United States senator, and we take
this occasion to say, thus early in
the day, that J. C. C. Black is our
choice, first, last and all the time.
Black is not only a great man, but
a clean man, about whose garments
there is no smell of fire. But can
such a man, one free from “com
mercial methods,” be elected sena
tor? We trust so, though we have
very little in the history of the
State, the past few years, to base
our trust upon.
Griffin News: Saturday morning
as the train was coming down from
Carrollton was running at a speed
of thirty-five miles miles an hour
and near the Flint river bridge, tin;
engineer saw a big rail lying
straight across the track a few
rods in front of him. He reduced
speed as much as possible but the
engine was going at a rapid gait as
it struck the rail, breaking it
square in two, one piece being
thrown off the track and the other
dragging along on the pilot. Fort
unately no damage waa done,
but it is evident that a great deal of
damage was intended. It is
thought that the rail was laid by
some of the negroes in the neigh-
. borhood, to avenge the death of
some of the Crofleld boys who were
recently put off Conductor Croft’s
train. It was a fiendish deed and
if there were any possibility of dis
covering the perpetrator he should
be well punished.
And now the belled buward has
been see in Meriwether county.
The Cyclone Last Week.
r ihc cyclone of Tuesday of last
week, from all accounts, was the
mo-1 destructive one that has
passed through the State since 1804.
The daily papers for several days
afterwards were filled with ac
counts of it. According to all ac
counts it came from the Gulf of
Mexico, up the Chattahoochee val
ley, until it got near to Columbus,
where it divided into two parts,
one part entering the State at
Columbus, and traveling in a north
eastern direction passed out at Au
gusta. The other part branched off
to North Central Alabama, striking
Montgomery and Birmingham in
its route, and at the latter place
changing its direction into a north
easterly course, striking this State
about Cave Spring, and continuing
the same direction, passed out in
northeast Georgia.
To estimate the damages done by
the cyclone would be impossible.
Hundreds, if not thousands of lives
were lost, and millions of property
swept away.
A writer in the Atlanta Constitu
tion, writing about cyclones, says
that these general facts seem to be
established that they are funnel
shaped, with ragged edges, curled
and white, and wisps of white wind
that leap out from the cloud—that
they are preceded by a deadly
calm, but not by rain—that they
come with a noise like the running
of a thousand trains of cars—that
they are practically resistless in
their forces, whipping a great oak
out of the ground as easily as they
move a leaf, and driving a pebble
with as much force as a plank—
that their motion is rotary—that
their volume expands or contracts
with the width of the vallies
through which they pass—that they
sheer off from high table lands, and
frequently split on ridges—that
they bound from the ground into
the air, and teturn to the ground
gradually, their course up or down
being marked plainly in the forests
—that they often bound for fifty
miles and then touch ground again
—and that while liable to invade
new regions, they travel certain
beaten paths. And finally, that the
only safe place when they arc about
is in a pit or .cellar securely
covered, and that it is much better
to be laughed at for hiding in a pit
a hundred times when no cyclone
comes than to be caught out of a pit
one time when a cyclone does hap
pen to come.
Coweta Correspondence.
Editor Free Press:—A severe
cyclone passed over the western
portion of this county on Tuesday
of last week, which swept away
houses, fencing, gardens, timbers
and orchards. Many of our people
are left lipuseless and everything
they possessed is swept away. Our
noble citizens held a meeting at the
court house on last Friday, and
raised some $200 for the relief of the
suffering ones. Relief committees
have been appointed to solicit aid,
and as I am one of said committee,
I appeal to the good citizens of Car
rollton and Carroll county to send
us aid. For particulars of the storm
I refer you to the Newnan papers,
and also see the action of the citi
zens meeting.
Our sick are Mrs. Thosas King,
Mrs. Posey Stamps, Mrs. John
Atchinson, Mrs. J. IT. Gileson and
old Grandma Phillips. She is 90
years old, and mother of Hon.
Robert Heflin’s wife, of McDowell,
Alabama.
Mr. Gus Cook killed a mad dog
one day last week near Hutchin
son’s ferry.
Candidates for the legislature are
beginning to poke out their friend
ly hands. I want Coweta to send
two bald-headed men to the next
legislature. We have tried long
haired and shingle-headed fellows.
The long-haired fellows will pass
laws, and then we send the shingle
haired fellows up to Atlanta and
they repeal or complicate what was
done by the former, until nobody
understands what is law. So I want
to have a bald-headed legislature
to get things out of a tangle. It is
said that all bald-headed men are
smart.
Lots of marrying over here.
Yours, with good appetite,
Ripples.
Since I wrote you, Mrs. Posey
Stamps died at 8 o’clock Sunday
uiglit last. She leaves a broken
hearted husband and two little
boys and many friends and rela
tives to mourn her loss. There is
much sickness in our community.
Mr. J. R. Thurman and little boy,
Eddie, are quite sick; many sick
children. Pneumonia is very com
mon. Prof. Allen is almost blind
with sore eyes, and many others are
suffering with their eyes.
I would say to brother P. H. C. to
mall me a spare rib and back-bone,
and don’t let Col. Gaines know any
thing about it. He is too fat for the
weather anyhow. I appreciate all
your correspondents, and return
them thanks for kind notices.
Yours, in haste,
Ripples.
Mr. J. C. Durham, an old *nd re
spected eitizen of West Point is
dead.
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
As Gathered Here and There with Pen
cil and Scissors.
A mad dog was killed in the
yard of Mr. R. II. Hardaway, in
Newnan, last Saturday.
We are glad to learn from the
Newnan Herald that Mr. Mat Cole
is improving.
The Haralson Banner says that
the post office at Wacoville lias
been discontinued, and that the
people around there are very indig
nant about it.
Two new hotels are being built in
Tallapoosa, one by McBride & Head
and the other by I. M. Watson.
The West Point Enterprise says
that the Chattahoochee has not
been out of its banks to any extent
at that place.
There has never been a hanging
in Harris county, so one of its old
est citizens informed the West
Point Enterprise.
Mr. J. H. Lang, formerly of the
West Point mills, Inis accepted the
position of superintelident of the
Roswell mills, Cobb county.
The election for whiskey or
against it will come off in Cobh
county on the 5th of March. The
Journal says that there don’t seem
to be much stir about it one way or
the other.
The springs at Powder springs
are to be incorporated and a stock
company will build a hotel there.
The LaGrange Reporter says
that one hundred and thirty two
cases are on the Issue and Motion
dockets of Troup superior court.
The Coweta Advertiser claims
Col. Alvan Freeman, as the cham
pion walkist, as he stepped from
Whitesburg home not long since.
The Sunday school workers of
Coweta county are requested to
meet in Newnan on March 4th, for
the purpose of organizing a county
Sunday school association.
The Franklin News says that
owing to the rain and rise in the
river, but few were at the late
railroad meeting at that place.—
A committee of prominent gentle
men were appointed to canvass the
county to see what could be done.
At a meeting held in Newnan on
the 22nd instant, for the relief of
the cyclone sufferers $250 were rais
ed on the spot, and committees were
appointed to canvass every militia
district in the county.
The Newnan Herald says: “An
old darkey who was caught in the
cyclone down in the Fourth Dis
trict thought it was time .to begin
praying. lie said: “O Lord, I’s
been foolin’ wid ye a long time, but
I’m in yearnest now.”
The editor of the Summerville
Gazett is a very candid gentleman
to say the least of it. Hear him on
dancing: “The morality of dancing
has long been a fruitful theme of
discussion. The Bible lays down a
very plain rule by which the ques
tion may be decided. St. Paul says:
“To the pure all things are pure.”
If any person can dance without
having evil thoughts excited in the
mind, it is not wrong for him or
her to dance. In our young days
we could not.
N. S. writing from Bowdon to
the Newnan Herald gives the fol
lowing account of an inhuman
mother: “On Saturday 8th inst.,
Mrs. Hand, wife of Joshua Hand,
living near big Tallapoosa river, in
Cleburn county, Alabama, took two
of her children down to the river
and threw them in. The little boy
(supposed to be about 8 years old)
was drowned, but the little girl was
some older and as the river was
not very deep got out on the other
side and ran up the hill screaming.
Some persons heard her and ran
to her relief. She says her mother
tried to catch her to throw
her in again. The little boy was
found next day near a mile below
where he was thrown in. Mrs. H.
made her escape and has not yet
been caught. She told some one
that the little boy jumped out of
the batteau int& the river, but
the little girl says, and it seems
to be the opinion of the neigh
bors, that she did it intentionally
to drown them both.
From the Coweta Advertiser,
Ogletree Captured
We had a card from Mr. J. J.
Dennis last week, just after going
to press, stating that he had just
received a letter from the sheriff of
Neshoba county, Miss., informing
him that Ogletree, the kidnapper,
was in jail. He was arrested for
rape and will be tried on the 12tli of
March. The evidence is circumstan
tial but very strong. Should he be
acquitted, there will be a requisi
tion for him from Alabama. He
has been identified by citizens of
Alabama who know him, and there
is no doubt about his being the man
who stole little Job Allen White.—
We know our citizens generally*
and especially those who joined in
the chase after him last year, will
be glad to hear this news.—Coweta
Advertiser.
