week Mr. Harvey Johnson
brings up the boss potato. It weighs
six pounds. There was two more in
the hill of the same size, and a peek
of little ones. The beauty about these
potatoes is that they were planted in
the mud, and were made without work
ing, and their size is no drawback
about cooking them, as they split open
as soon as they mature.
iFWo call the attention of our
readers to the card of Mr. I). M.
Wilson, to be found in this issue. Mr.
Wilson hails from Athens, where lie
has been doing business for several
years past, lie lias a full line of first
class machinery to make any kind of
a covering for the feet, from a pair of
baby slippers to the heaviest ditching
boots. Being skilled at the business,
and having competent workmen, he is
prepared to do the best of work at
prices that defy competition. Should
you desire anything in his lino, it will
pay you to consult his prices before
buying.
S tPWhcn people begin to sneer and
talk lightly of the benefits that will
be derived from our railroad, we can
refer them to Conyers, in Rockdale
county. In twelve years it has in
creased its population from three to
sixteen hundred inhabitants, and is
one of the best cotton markets in the
State. It is only a station on a rail
road controlled by one of the largest
monopolies in the world, and has
every disadvantage, in the waj r of
freights, to contend with. Don’t talk
about our not coming out at the head
of the procession. We tell you that
Jefferson's dead days are past.
HPLadies and gentlemen, owners
of horses and cattle, we would most
respectfully invite your attention to
the advertisement of Jacobs' Horse
and Cattle Powders. You may think
that you have tried powders that were
good and well adapted for their pur
pose, but. you must try Jacobs’ just to
(ind out how much better they are
than the ordinary. The most of
stock powders are put up by people
who don't know a horse from a mule
and a cow from a gout. Jacobs' are
prepared and the formula is the result
of years of experience and experiment
of a person who had the necessary
medical knowledge as well as practi
cal experience with stock. We do
I not mean, and do not wisli you to un
derstand that we are talking about
the Jacobs who tended Mr. Laban’s
stock with so much success to him
self, but our Mr. Jacobs is one of a
later generation of the same family.
The preparation, however, is not alto
i gether of his invention, but lie is the
proprietor of it, and deserves success
for introducing into common use so
useful and sale a remedy.

The Hailstorm.
Mr. Editor: —The hailstorm that
visited the section of the county near
Dry Pond on last Tuesday night week,
the Bth instant, came up about six
o’clock in the evening, and appeared
to he a narrow cloud, but was accom
panied by an unusual amount of wind
and lightning. The storm was fearful
to behold, and severely frightened
most of the people, but it did not last
long.
It was not until the next morning
that the damage could be noted. At
.Mr. W. F. Head’s farm, about a mile
and a half from Dry Pond church, on
the Ilog Mountain road, the damage
was great. On this place there was a
fifty acre field of cotton, about eight
or ten acres of which had never been
picked over, and there was at least
six bales of it heat out on the ground
and ruined. The bark on the old tree
stumps, bushes and cotton stalks is
beat off. The limbs of the cotton
stalks look as if they had all been
knocked off with a sliek. Near by
there were twenty-nine pine trees that
had fallen in reach of each oilier. The
loss to Mr. Head will be a severe one,
and it will take him sometime to get
over it.
On Sunday evening, the 13th inst.,
five days after the storm, the hail
measured sixteen inches deep and
ranged in size from a partridge egg
down.
The old people say that it was the
heaviest rain, hail and wind storm
that has visited these parts in years.
Mr. G. E. Deadwjler’s mill dam was
carried away, and several hales of
cotton went floating off. The fences
across hollows and brandies had a
hard time of it. We have given the
above facts without any coloring, and
they can be substantiated.
Respectfully,
Patrick, Lay & Head.
Gainesville & Jefferson R. R.
The Athens Chronicle has not lost
all hope yet of securing a connection
with the Gainesville & Jefferson rail
road, and to trge the importance of
the enterprise to its citizens, it uses
the following arguments, which, it
appears to our minds, are conclusive
upon the subject:
“ During a recent trip through Jack
son county, we were more than ever
impressed with the vital necessity of
a railroad from Athens to-Jefferson.
The Gainesville & Jefferson R. R. has
now been graded to within four miles
of Jefferson, at the small cost of six
thousand dollars. This demonstrates
two things : first, that the R. R. to
Gainesville will really be built; and,
second, that a narrow-gauge can be
built ot such a low cost that Athens
cannot afford not to have one to
Jefferson.
“ The advantages of railroad com
munication with Jackson county are,
that it is necessary to hold our trade,
and second, to gain more. It is
useless to think of keeping the trade
we have hitherto had by wagon, in its
former state. It is enough to sav that
the day of wagon trade, pro* excellence,
has passed and gone. There is another
reason why this road should be built.
A road from Athens via Jefferson to
Gainesville will make Gainesville 15
miles nearer Athens than Atlanta, and
the inevitable conserpience will be,
that the Gainesville merchants will
return to their old alliance and trade
in Athens as of yore. There are otlTer
good reasons why it should be built,
which we have not now the space to
present, and we simply write this to
make a final effort to call the attention
of our people to this great necessity.
We shall have more to say in our next
issue.’’
The steam gin belonging to the
Messrs. Carmichael, of McDonough,
caught fire from a stray spark last
Friday and was entirely consumed,
together with live bales of cotton.

Athens Watchman; ‘We learn that
there is an Athens raised colt. now in

down in the ‘twenties.’ Her owners
hope some day to see her beat 'Maud
S.'s’ record.”
On Tuesday night, Ist inst.. Mr.
Nat. Arnold, of Oglethorpe, had his
gin house burned, together with five
bales of cotton and two gins. The
accident was caused by the careless
handling of a kerosene lamp by a
negro.
Blakely News: “We saw quite a
curiosity in Blakely a few days ago—
something that we had never seen lie
fore. It was a squirrel as wh'te as
snow—not a colore 1 hair upon it;
and its very claws were white. I
was killed in the swamp east of town
by Horace Webb, colored.”
Americas Recorder: “Some time
since, in Macon, we met a gentleman
who owns a farm of sixty acres, three
miles from the citv. Forty acres of
his place arc set in Bermuda grass, and
estimates his annual return at §3.000.
His work is performed by machinery,
and lie says his farm is large enough
for him. lie supports a family and is
making money.”
Greensboro Herald: “Fiiday. the
12th inst., is the day designated oli
the execution of Joo Harris, colored.
Those who take pleasure in witnessing
public hangings need not come to
town on that day for sneli a purpose,
for the criminal will be executed with
in the walls of the county jail, where
he now lies incarcerated. So much
for the sound discretion of Judge
Lawson.”
West Point Press: “The leading en
lerprise of our community is again
fully equipped for work. The mills
will sown run over five thousand spin
dles and produce at least ten thousand
yards of superior coton duck goods
per day. This amount consumes
twelve bales of cotton daily. The re
cent improvements to the mills place
them upon a firm basis, and the ma
chinery is all English make and first
class in pattern and construction.”
LaGrange Reporter: “Rev. J..M.
Lowry, the able pastor of Troup cir
cuit, has applied for a patent for a
very useful invention. It is a ‘buggy
top hood,’ which, fastened to the rim
of the top, and extending over the
dashboard, protects the inmates from
both sun and rain. It can be so ad
justed as to ward off the rays of Sol
whether they are vertical or horizontal
—not only at midday, but at earlv
morn or late in the afternoon. Buggy
manufacturers say it is the thing they
have long sought.”
Ilawkinsville Dispatch: “Jack Gil
bert and a man named Pippin, both
white, got drunk, and while on the
road near Thomasvillo, last Saturday,
Gilbert pulled Pippin out of his buggy
and cut his throat. Pippin leivd only
five minutes. If we are not mistaken,
ajman by the name of Jack Gilbert
was, a few years ago, sentenced by
Judge Pate to the chain gang from
Dooly county for having taken the
life of a man named King. Gilbert
made his escape, and when last heard
from was in the lower portion of the
State. This is probably his seco and
crime of a murderous nature.”
Macon Telegraph: “ Yesterday a
fight occurred in the jail between Will
Walker and Muse llollingahead. The
latter is in for cattle stealing and the
former for shooting his wife. llol
lingshead is a desperate character, and
has had to be chained down twice be
fore for bad conduct. Yesterday he
got into a dispute with Walkc l , and
the result was Walker smashed a stone
spittoon over his head. Ilollingshead
closed in upon him, and being a much
more powerful man than his antago
nist punished him severely, until help
came in the person of tlie jailer, Mr
Foster, and others, and Ilollingshead
was again chained to the lloor.”
Atlanta Constitution: “ Georgia’s
exhibit is now complete, and it gives
an excellent idea of the resources of
the State. In agricultual products
there is a variety which would surprise
the visitor, who thinks that Georgia
raises only a great deal of cotton and
a little corn or wheat. There are all
kinds of agricultual staples and curi
osities. Of cotton, the display is very
fine, and reflects honor upon the Stale
as well as the exhibitors. The display
fills most of the space in the centre of
the main building up stairs. All
Georgia visitors to the grounds—ail
who want to know what the State can
do—should visit the display to see for
themselves.”
Buena Vista Argus: “Last Wedncs
day morning Miss Julia, young (laugh
ter of Mr. Kinch Worthy, of Friend
ship.-was standing near the steam en
gine used by her father at his gin.
when her dress was caught by the belt
and her body whirled around at every
revolution of the wheel. Her head
was beaten against Urn hard ground
and horr'-bly mangled and one of her
arms was bably bruised. As soon as
possible the engine was stopped, and
Miss Julia, in an insensible condition,
was taken to the house. The beating
of the pulse or throbbing of the heart
could not be detected, and she was
thought to have been dead. On the ar
rival of the physician pulsation was
resumed, but the latest information
we received is that she has not yet
spoken. This is the saddest accident
that we have been called upon to
chronicle for some time. Alter going
to press we learn that the young lady
is dead.”

Augusta Netos: “OnSaturday Ilcnry
Gordon, colored, who lives on ttic land
of Judge E. F. Lawson, a few miles
from Waynesboro, brought to that
town a bale of cotton to pay his rent.
The cotton was sold to Wilkins & Cos.,
but Mr. R. C. Neely, noticing that it
was a small bale and seemed loosely
packed, thought it weighed too much,
and commenced investigating. Asa
result a pile of ?and that would proba
bly weigh two hundred pounds was
found concealed in the centre of the
cotton. Ilenry owned up to the
charge, and could only urge in exten
nation that the man who ginned the
cotton had suggestel the trick to him.
The latter individual, another colored
man. indignantly denies any knowl
edge of the transaction.”
Walton News: “ Last Saturday even
ing Mrs. W. W. Parker gave a quilting,
to which all the young ladies and
young men in the neighborhood were
inv to 1, the former to do the sew n/
and the latter to thread the needles.
But two of the young men did not
confine themselves to threading need
les alone, but while Mr. Ilenry T.
Sprinks wans threading nee Ucs lor Miss
Sarah A. Williams and Mr. Josiah
Stokes for Miss .Josie Williams, they
were engaged in a conversation that
no others were allowed to hear, and
by twelve o’clock these two young
men look two of their best friends
around the corner and told them they
could do them a great service—one by
going to see Judge Giles, the Ordinary,
and the other by going for Squire V.
A. Cooper. The papers were soon on
hand, and Judge'Cooper was aroused
from his slumbers and was present,
and the quilting ended with a double
marriage, and the two sisters went
home to present their husbands to their
parents, all thanking Mrs. Parker for
giving that quilting.”
