The adverts columns of the News
furnish an illi 'ion of the way West

invitation of its board of trade to “Come

North but in th; South. It will attract
tho attention of people who never heard
of the place before, and the enterprise
and busiuesa grit shown by the advertise
ment must favorably impress every on#
reading it. If you want to know any
further of the way Beatrice advertises,
write for circulars; that is all we know
about it.
Macon News: Capt. Watt, who form

ty. Col. H.8. Morse, tho proposed
general manager of the Macon and
Dublin road, and Captain Watt did
expect to leave Macon this morning to
go over the loute preparatory to loca¬
ting the line permanently, but owing to
tuts severe inclemency of the weather
the trip had to bo deferred. There are
ono or two points of location between
Jeffersonville and Macon not yet fully
determined on, and the main object of
the visit of Col. Morse and Capt. Watt
is to decide these. Capt. Watt is now
at tlio Hotel Lanier wailing for th*
clearing weather.

W. Z. Gardner, of Orchard Hill,
was in tho city yesterday and said:
“We are going to have a good peach
crop yet iu spite of all that has been
said, unless something happens to it
later. Some fruit was killed, but
not the crnp.“
J. A. Drewry, of Drewrysville,
was also in town and happened to be
standing by. He said: “1 believe
that, too. 1 don’t think the peaches
were all killed.”
The Macon Evening News of
Thursday says: “Despondent por
phots to the contrary the News
promises a big peach crop this year.
Don’t throw away your jack knives,

A ROUGH DIAMOND
’ Plownl l p in a Fulton lountj Orchard.
-
Atlanta Journal
A short time ago a farmer uacoed
j R, M. Barker, living four or five
j mi]es 60Utb of At j an ta. id the direcs
j tioa of Jordan's store, was ploughs
I ing in his orchard and saw a small
bright, crystal stone, a little larger
than an English pea. He picked it
ap and looked at it- He tried to
break the stone and found it very
hard.
After further examination he dis
covered that the stone would cut
glass- Day before yesterday Mr.
Parker came to the store of Wilecn
& .Stiff, on Broad street, and show
ed the stone. He confirmed his sto
ry by catting a pane of glass out of
the back door of the store.
Mr. Palmer, who was standing
there, said to the farmer ;
I will give you fifty cents for it.
All right, said Mr. Parker, and
the stone and the half dollar were
exchanged.
This morning Mr. Palmer sought
Professor J. D. Caldon, an English
mineralogist,* who spent a number
of years in the diamond fields of
South Africa as second in command
to Sir Daniel Frazer in the service
of the London and South Africa
Exploration company.
As soon as be saw the stone Pro*
fereor Caldon pronounced it a dias
mond in the rough, and said that it
would weigh about four and ashalf
karats. He went for his scales and
carefully weighed the stone, which
balanced sixteen grains. Diamonds
weigh four grains to the karat, so it
was a four karat diamond.
What is it worth, professor?
It is an off colored, frosty diamond
and in the diamond market of Kim*
bally, South Africa, it would be
worth, in its present rough state,
about twenty shillings a karat foi a
four karat stone. In the United
States it is worth 30 to 50 per cent,
more. The stone ie worth about
$30.
The finding of this diamond is a
confirmation of a statement made
by Professor Caldon in an interview
published li'.e months ago. He said
then that di imonds were to be found
in the sou.b slope of the Blue
Ridge.
That slope, said Professor Caldon,
this morning, includes Rabun couns
ty, the northeast part of White
eountv, the western portion of
Lumpkin, the western portion of
Dawson, Forsyth, Milton, Fulton,
DeKalb, Clayton, Campbell, Fayette,
Coweta and H trri?.
On the plateau between the Uuaca
or Great Smoky Mountains and the
Blue Ridge in the Corundum belt,
you will find the ruby, sapphire and
oriental top iz.

A Cat’s Musical Taste.
Mereer Sayings and Doings.
A young girl of our town has a cat i
with decided musical taste and dis |
crimination. She listens to the prac
tice of her yon mistress with
much enjoymeut to one piece
puss has a decided aversion, This is
“The Dying Nun.’ 1 and any one who
has heard it dolorous notes will cred
it puss with g< <1 i te. Some limes
she lies on tb d asleep, when
her mistress i > despised air;
immediately b j s her bead,listens
a moment, the i ; a ji g, walks to the
performer, nt.d begins a most posi
tive remonbli nice. She reaches up,
takes her mistress by the arm, aDd ,
with mouth ai <1 p.ws tries to pull
her from the pi.iuu. Failing in this
she next mounts the piano and
walks over the keys, But the teasing
young mistress still p i listing, puss
finally despairs and l eats a retreat’
if the door is open, if i ot, she begs
with piteous mews to bo let out. She
has been tried again ai.d again, but
never will she allow that piece to be
played without decided remon
strance.
