CARROLL FREE PRESS. CABBOLLTON «A, Feu. 27 ’85 Grantviljc correspondence New- nan Herald: Friday It. I.

The death of David Dickson is announced elsewhere. He was probably the most successful and noted farmer that has lived in the state for years. The West Point Press advises farmers to try tobacco culture on a small scale and thinks it will be demonstrated that it can be made a paying crop in Georgia. The Washington monument at Washington. D. C. was dedicated on last Saturday, the 21st, with im posing ceremonies. It is the high est monument in the world, being Goo feet high. Major St. Clair Abrams, well known in Georgia as a journalist, barely escaped assassination in Or ange county, Florida, the other day in attempting to arrest a turbulent negro. The snapping of the negro’s pistol is what saved Abram’s life. strick- ■ O’Kelly procured assistance and af- I ter a considerable chase she was ! caught. She was discovered to be j demented, and from her random talk and excited demeanor it is fear ed that she has been foully dealt with. She could give no account of herself, answered no questions and shrank from the approach of any one. She was put jn the care of those who would look after her through the night, and Saturday morning seemed to have somewhat recovered her senses. She gave her name as Susie Williamson and says her home was near Carrollton, which she left some time ago be cause of ill treatment by her father; she also states that she lived recently at a Mr Dunbar’s, but can give give no ac count of herself from the time of leaving Newnan to the time she was found by O’Kelly. She was pitiable to behold when brought in to town. Hw moans were horri ble, and the Wild stare in her eyes gave eVklerTce of gre'at mental' or physical sfltFering, ’arid she made frequent endeavors to get away rom her captors. Mr. Sam W. Small, che well known journalist of Atlanta, it is said, has abandoned the world and gone into training for the minis-P Milledgeville try in the Protestant Episcopal church. Mr. S. is a man of unus ual endowments and no doubt will make his mark in the ministry. The J. H. Estill President of the Georgia Press Association, gives notice that the annual meeting of the Association will be held at Bainbridge, Wednesday, March 18th. By invitation of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad the Associ ation will visit New Orleans, leav ing Bainbridge on the evening of the 18th. Every one-horse town is now trotting out Lulu Hursts, equal, if not superior to the “Maid of Col- lardtown.” But notwithstanding all this Lulu moves on in the even tenor of her way, raking in the du cats. Having conquered America with her mysterious power, she now sighs for other worlds to con quer and will shortly sail for Eu rope. \ Emory Speer has been confirm ed as Judge of the Southern dis trict of Georgia, and it was Sena tor Brown’s vote that did it as the vote stood, according to the Atlan ta Constitution’s Washington cor respondent 29 and 30. Senator B. was the only Democrat that voted for Speer. Several Republicans refused to vote for him and one, Senator Hale of Maine, is recor ded as voting against him. There are a good many appli cants for Emory Speer’s position as district attorney, it being gen erally supposed that the nomina tion of that officer would be left to Cleveland, as it was given out some days ago that Authur would make no more nominations. But contrary to expectation Arthur has made a nomination, and the nominee is no less a personage than James Atkins, who failed sometime ago to be confirmed as District Judge. Both of the Geor gia Senators, it is stated, will op pose the confirmation of Atkins. Chronicle: farmer who fails to raise his • own hog and hominy simply fails to farm. But few ever succeeded that didn’t do it.—Major John Knight dropped in on us Tuesday paid a year in advance and chat ted pleasantly of the good old times The Major exchanged law for agriculture after the war and is one of the largest and most successful farmers in Pike county. We un derstand that he has on hand about sixty bales of his last year’s cotton crop. He is also reported to have one of the best arranged fish ponds in the State. A friend speaking of the pond, says it contains 13,000,000, 000 of carp. An East Tennessee postmaster waked up the other day and sent his application for reappointment to Postmaster General Hatton. He wound up his letter by saying: “I am running this post office for the benefit of the United States govern ment and the republican party. I am a terror to the Democrats of East Tennessee.” The document was filed and will he duly acted on by the incoming Democratic Post master General. A steer was recently sold in Cin cinnati weighing 4,250 pounds. The animal was raised near Deca tur, Ind., is of fine form, perfectly developed, six feet four inches high, girths twelve feet, and meas ures twelve feet in length. It is six years old, a beautiful roan and in [perfect health. A heifer weighing 3,500 pounds, was in Ma rietta last week. The Coiumbus Times says that it is again put out from Atlanta that tax money will be short to build the Capitol, and that an extra tax will have to bo levied to meet the ex- Denditure. In a few years more of hard times and increased taxation the people of the State will begin to realize that they were deceived in- 4<igijing their consent to build the ^/Capitol. Before the passage of the , Capitol bill there was no intimation of a small cash account, but on the -contrary every report from the Treasury that Was sent out official ly reported hundreds of thousands of dollars on hand. The public were fooled. -i/ ' Cabinet speculations are still rife. According to some of the Washington correspondents Con gressman Dorsheimer recently re vived a cipher telegram from Col. piont, tho private secretary of 'Cleveland, giving the following as the cabinet agreed upon by the Presidentelect: T. F. Bayard, of Delaware, to he Secretary of State. Daniel Manning, of New York, jo he Secretary tf the Treasury. W. F. Vilas, of Wisconsin, to be Secretary of War. ---Frank Jones, of New Hampshire, to be Secretary of the Navy. Joseph E. McDonald, of Indiana, to be Secretary of the Interior. L Q C Lamar, of Mississippi, to j be Postmaster General. 7 A. H. Garland, of Arkansas, to be ‘Attorney General. it 50 cents per hundred. The Hon John W. Daniel of Vir ginia was selected as the orator to deliver the eulogy on the life of Washington at the dedication of the Washington monument on the 21st. His speech covers six and a half closely printed columns of the Weekly Courier-Journal, and is universally conceded to be one of the finest orations of modern times. It is announced that Governor St. John of Kansas will deliver a temperance lecture in Atlanta next month. Gen. Pierce M. B. Youug, of Car te rsville, will it is said, be an ap plicant for the position of Minister to Mexico. * . Last Sunday, the 22nd Inst, was Washington’s birthday.

She tells horrible tales of Cuban slave-life—plowed in harness like horses, whipped and rubbed down with salt daily, going without clothing, and fed on dogs, cats und cotton seed meal. She charges ten cents to hear this thrilling lecture and 25 cents for her biographical sketch. And strange to say some of the gullible colored folks believe this inconsis tent narrator.
