The Mississippi river is on a regular
tare up in Illinois, and is flooding the
whole country, destroying farms, stock
and porperty of all kinds.
Free tuition to the contrary, the
State University at Athens is doing
no better in the way of increased at
tendance than of yore.
Despite the fact that the exposition
was in full blast and the best adver
tised. we are glad to state that the
Macon Fair, held last week, wa3 a
grand success. Lots of the exhibits
will be moved to the exposition.
The situation in Ireland has not ira
proved in the last week. The British
Government is till arresting the leaders
of the land league. Dublin is under
martial law, and the people are be
coming more discontented every day.
Ex Representative Finley, of Ohio,
says that Bookwalter, the Democratic
candidate, was defeated by Foster bo
cause a good many old line Democrats
had no faith in their candidate’s De
mocracy, and hence would not turn
out to vote for him.
Tho Alliens Watchman of last week
says "let’s now call a public meeting
in the interest of a railroad to Madison
county.” We would suggest that it
takes something else besides a meeting
to make a railroad, and the people of
Athens never let their desires for more
railroads get any farther than a meet
ing upon the subject.
The Athens Watchman proposes to
have a lively campaign in this Con
gressional District next year, and to
that end has already commenced the
■racket. Its previousness is due to the
Tact that its new editor is from Aleck
Stephens’ bailiwick, where the cam
paigns are all one sided affairs. Up
this way you can always get a
" pardner” that will interest you.
The recent discovery of petroleum
in Northern German}' promises impor
tant results, and the indications are,
nccording to late advices received at
the State Department, that the dis
•covery will seriously interfere with
our export of petroleum to Europe.
Reports from our Consuls in Germany
state that great success has attended
the borings in the oil district.
The recent gale along the coasts of
England and the continent was terri
bly destructive to shipping and life.
The total loss is estimated at $30,000,-
000. Many lives have also been lost.
There were no premonitions of the
storm,-and it broke with terrific force
along the coasts named. No precau
tions were possible, and the damage
■done is well nigh irreparable.
The Grand Jury of Franklin coun
ty, at the last session of the Superior
Court, recommended the improvement
of the Court House. We advise them
to sell out the old concern and build
anew one out and out, pay the cash
• down for it, and when it is done every
body will be satisfied, and not until
then. Franklin county can afford a
good Court House, and should have
it.
The. statement is boldly made that
among the mummies recently discov
ered at Thebes is that of the identical
“Pharaoh's Daughter,” who rescued
the infant Moses from his dangerous
hiding place in the cradle among the
bulrushes. The body is that of a lady
of rare beauty, and is so perfectly pre
served by the embalroer's art that it
appears as if only recently laid away.
The coffin is decorated with mosaic
work of costly stones, some of which
have been chipped off by curiosity
seekers. Kameses the Second, the
father of this lady, is said to have
had many wives, and to have been the
father of more than one hundred and
fifty children. It is supposed that
many of his other sons and daughters
are similar!}’ embalmed, and that their
mummified bodies will be found among
the treasures of this description which
brought to light.

Fort Valley Mirror: “More and
better hay is being brought to market,
this season than we ever noticed before.
The season has been fine for curing

George B. Loring, Commissioner of

Mr. James W. Corbin, of Griffin,
is reported to be tlie possessor of sev

opinion that some day they would be
redeemed.
Warrcnton Clipper: "If you cut the
vines from your sweet potatoes before
frost and let the potatoes stay in the
ground for five or six weeks, they will
not rot so easily when dug, as the fro.st
bite don't come back to them through
the vines; and then the potatoes will
continue to grow as fast as they did
with the vines before cutting.”
Walton County News: “Mr. J. M.
McLeroy, of High Shoals, has a mow
er with which helms been cutting from
three to four tons of hay daily for two
or three weeks. His bay crop will be
worth nearly as much as his cotton
crop, and it didn't cost him a cent to
raise it. Every neighborhood should
have one of these valuable machines.”
Fort Valley Mirror: “Mr. 11. N.

from Mr. George Adams’ plantation,
and,when opposite the cemetery one of

Atlanta Constitution: “Judge 0. A.

neighbor had the other arrested under

for the other; he was also arrested.
The case has been in court for some

fifty dollars, and up to this writing
has not been settled.”
Walton County News: “Mr. Thos.

varnish on a watermelon would keep
it nice and fresh, till Christmas. lie

won’t work worth a cent. But he has
made a wonderful discovery. He had
a fine patch of melons this year. The
up after the first melons
had ripened. lie cut the old vines off
about six inches from the roots, plow
ed and hoed the old stubs and now
has a finer lot of melons than the first

made to yield two crops the experi

Americas Republican: “On Tuesday

coming to town on a load of brick in
his wagon, and wliHc ho was about
three miles from the city, he accident
ally fell from the top of a box he was
sitting on, which was on the top of
the load of brick. As he was lying
at length on the ground, the wheels of
the wagon ran up his leg from the
thigh to the back of his hip, and run
over his arm, but broke no bones.
Mr. Hudson was badly bruised, but
came on to the city, disposed of his
brick, and attended to his other du.

and brick was twenty-eight hundred
pounds, enough to crush an ordinary
man,”
