Wo have often heard of young men stealing their sweethearts and running away to get married, but never before the other day have wo hoard of a young lady stealing a young man and running away to get married. A youDg lady from North Georgia has been spending some time with friends about five miles from here in the country and upon getting ready to go home she eloped with one of our most prosperous young farmers. The man’s father bearing what bad been done becarna enraged and forbade them ever go ing to bio house again. The young couple r ot being satisfied to live near him took the cars here for the Lone Star State, where they will make their borne in the future. We don’t blame the young lady at all, because they Lavo a showing only once in every four years and think they ought to make good nse of that time. “Jay.’ - -- -- “Her face so fair, as ffesh it seemed not, But heavenly portrait ol bright augei’s hue, Clear as the sky, without a blame or blot, Though goodly mixture oi complexions show.’ due, 1 And ia her cheeks the vermeil red did This is the poe ’s description of a wo man whose physical system was in a per fectly sonnd and healthy Btate, with every function acting pr perly, and is the enviable condition of its fair paeons scription.” produced by Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Pre FIDO’S IT I END SO MORE, Henry Hcrgh, Founder of (he Socle ty for the Prevention of <’ruel- (y, Dead at Sew York f Ir New York, March 12.- Henry founder and President of the for the Prevention of Cruelty Animals, died this morning.

A DESPERATE BATTLE WITH THEM AT SESOIA, In Which Frank Norton is Shot ••The Goods and Dr. Beckham’s Horse and Buggy Recovered. In yesterday’s News the burglary qf Prank Norton’s bar at Creswell on Monday night was mentioned- aud the fact that the trail of tbc bur glar had beeu immediately found and followed by W. J. Bridges, B. F. Nortop and J M. Bridges. The last named was in town yesterday and furnished the result of the chase. About nine miles from Creswell, and betweeu Brook Station and So noia, they found where the burglar, evidently finding himsdf pursnod, bad left his horse atad buggy in a swamp nnd secured a fresh horse and a wagon from a colored man. Proceeding rapidly forward the pur suers overtook the party they were in search of, just on the other side of Senoiffi and found it to consist of a white man, it yollow negro and a black negro. The alula man at once turned and fired with a large revolver, Ihe ball passing between J. M. Bridges, who was on one side, and NortoD, who was in the middle. Both the Bridges jumped out and the burglar shot a second time a't Norton, but missed him. Ho fired a third shot jnst as Norton was get ting oat and struck him on tbc left hip, causing him to fall to the ground. In the meart'tne the others had fired two or three times at the burglars, with a pistol and a double barrelled shot gun. The yellow ne gro jumped out of the wagon and ran toward the Creswell party with a weapon, when they opened fire upon him aud he retreated. The white burglar is thought to hav® been shot iu the right arm or shoul der, while the yellow negro was pep pered in the lace and nock with bird shot; but they both took to the woods and after a short pursuit es caped. This was about twelve o’clock, and the affray took place ubont seventy-five feet from the school house, which had just let out. Taking the horse and wagon, and the black negro, who turned out to ba their owner, they turned back and secured the horse and buggy and the balance of the g*ods stolen. The hort proved to be the one stolsn from Dr. Beckham, of Zebu loo, on the same Monday night, and the buggy was also his, although he had not nursed it. They are worth together sb<« $200, and the Doctor, who was in town yesterday, was greatly rgoiced when lie bad heard of their recovery. Frank Norton’s wound is only in the flesh, the ball hitting some men ey in Lis trousers pocket and turn ing around toward the spine. It is a large and painful wound, but not serious. The white burglar i» a man of about twenty five or twenty six years, weighing about 175 pounds, with a heavy sandy mustache and short young beard. He told the negro whom he picked up that he had committed the robborv at Brooks Station a year ago, m u if he had not been molested it was his intention to break into Col.

There was a good at tendance of fruit growers and a sprink of the fair sex at lb© regular of the Horticultural Society afternoon at Grays Court The re£ort_of the Treasurer was and accepted; three new mem elected and reports from com on transportation and pack received. These committees increased to three members and their investigations to bo for fuller report at next Mr. Cuneton showed samples of baskets and quoted price slightly than some other factories, with additional advantage of low freight. A committee wa« appointed to pro pare proper matter descriptive of this section, for the Central IiR., adver Using paper. The present condition of the fruit was next discussed, the general being that there are still plenty of livo fruit buds fora good crop. Some varieties of peaches and in some localities, particularly where treo stood in low gronnd, showed loss by frost. Kelsey’s Japan plum has lost heavily. Mr. Husted reports even as ranch 19-20 of the buds dead, but 1-20 will be enough for the trees to perfect. Ho also stated that peach trees had been killed by the late frost and mentioned as a curions fact that in some instances terminal buds had escaped, while those in the body of same tree wt re killed. Le oante pears generally are all rigb'» as are also Manana Wild Goose plums- The reports of several gentlemen who had carefully experimented with whole cotton seed nnd meal as grape vine fertilizers, show that no benefit i6 derived from, its use. F.<r peach es, however, cotton seed iu one in stance made vigorous wood growth. Mr. Husted stated that it was well known that potash and phosphates were esseutial to healthy wood growth aud that the oil in cotton seed was detrimental to the manorial effect of whole seed or fertilizers that used gronnd seed. It was stated that a gentlemen near Atlanta found the use cf nitrate of soda for trees cans ed the best and healthiest wood growth. Mr. Va» Dyke gave a very interest ing talk on underdraicage, a subject be is well qualified to sperkon, he having had large experience in rnak ing and using drain tile in Ohio. He advances the the theory that an derdraining, if well done, would obvi ate the necessity of terracing and hill side ditching by running drains around the hills almost the same a« terrf q.es, except giving the hill fall to carr; off the water. Mr. Husted thoi -it that a vineyard well under drai d would well repay for the ex peme by increased value of crop.'
