The office of the Headquarters of S. G.

Nothing of importance was transacted at
the ceundl meeting on Tuesday night, all
matters being either referred or deferred.
A petition is being circulated In the city
asking Judge Stewart to push the bill mak¬
ing an appropriation for the colored exposi
tion in Atlanta next year.
The concert given by the Presbyterians at
the Female College to-night will be one of
the finest ever given by amateur talent in
this city...The admission is only twenty five
cents, and every one should attend.
With the stink of the feather factory in
the rear and the heat of an ice cream man-
nfactory underneath, the News has personal
knowledge that the manufacturing interests
of, Griffin are booming right along.
We have had our front yard (better known
as the Methodist church yard) mowed and
nioely raked off. As soon as we get a little
more time we intend to have the rocks pick¬
ed out of the grass, and a curbing put on
each side of the walk, and otherwise fixed
up in a little more style.
In mentioning the attractions of its city
for the Fourth of July, the Columbus
Ledger says: “The Oolsmbns gun club is
betng reorganized and on the Fourth a
grand contest will take place between the
clubs of Columbus, Griffin, Seale, and per¬
haps other places.”
The Official Fruitgrowers Organ.
As will be seen by reference to the pro¬
ceedings in another column, the News has
been made the official organ of the Middle
Georgia Horticultural Society, and will
hereafter be furnished in full the proceed¬
ings of each meeting. This is an unsolicited
compliment that is highly appreciated.
The Nbws has always done all that lay in its
power to promote the horticultural inter¬
ests of Middle Georgia, which it believes to
be one of the finest fruit growing sections
in the United States; and with such recog¬
nition of tts character aud services by those
most directly interested, its interest and its
efforts will not be allowed to flag. The So¬
ciety is in a flourishing condition, with
large aud increasing membership; and its
intelligent discussions can not fail to prove
of great value to the large number of our
readers who are more or less engaged in
fruit culture. The proceedings of Tuesday’s
meeting will be found especially interesting.
Dots From Drewryville.
Deewkvvilae, Ga., June 13.—Everybody
is wearing a pleasant smile over the beanti-
ful rains, aud the crop prospects, which are
better than common this year in this cem-
munity.
R. A. Hardee,our well known tax receiver,
aud Maj. Coilens, of Griffin, spent last Fri¬
day at this place. Bob and Major are full
of fun, and we are glad to have them with
us at any time. Bab says Major is a candi¬
date and believes he could drum better for
anybody else than for himself. Major is a
No. 1 candidate and the way he can talk pol
itics is a sight.
F. H. Drewry is spending a few day6 in
Senoia, attending the Excelsior High School

Rumor says that there will be a wedding
in this community soon, as some young man
has ordered him a bread tray by a certain

A CARD FROM MR. CHERRY.
His Statement of the Facts in the
Woodward Case.
Griffin, Ga., June 13,1888.
Editor N«ws: —I see in today’s issue
of the News, an article copied from Ma
con Telegraph headed -‘Deputy
shals Reprimanded." In justice to Dep
nty Marshal Pope and myself, I ask the
privilege to make a plain, fair and
partial statement. I did' not intend
reply to the article in the Telegraph,
the U. S. Commissioner knew the
in the case and it was unnecessary.
About three hundred yards in rear
Mr. Newt. Woodward’s residence in
county of Butts, and in close
to the residence of the two
one of whom was arrested conveying
still and cap from near’this illicit
ery to Mr. Newt Woodward’s on
route—at this place, where they
been distilling whisky, there was
two hundred and fifty gallons of
which Deputy Pope and myself had
watching almost continuously for
days to catch tho parties running
still. On Friday night last
Pope and myself left Griffin abont
o’clock and reached the vicinity of
Woodwards about one o’clock. In
ing the residence of Newt
the smell of beer was prevalent
the air, and I was satisfied they
moved the beer from whore we had
located it to the place of
which was traced from the old place
distilling to the smoke house of
Woodward, inside of which house
was found removed from the old place
three hundred gallons of beer and
furnace newly built.
And the Telegraph article says
young men charged with the offense
law abiding citizens.” Here are
facts: Mr. Ben Gray, one of the
who was arrested with this still, is
under suspended sentence for illicit
tilling. The yonng Woodward may
all right, bnt eras caught in bad
ny. Mr. Pope and myself did only
we deemed onr duty. And there
iurther facts connected with the
which I prefer not to give at
ent, which will convince every one
their guilt.
According to the U. S. law a
Marshal cannot sue ont a warrant,
the r ?ason we were not accompanied
the proper officer to swear out the
rants was because of business that
nat be delayed at home. I am
that this will prove to my people I
not to be censured.

THE HEAD STEWARD’S FIGURES.
What It Take* to Satisfy tho Appetite*
of Ocean Steamship Passenger*.
“There came in over that gangplank
last year, ” said the steward of one of the
popular big transatlantic steamships the
other _ her da; day, “4,050 sheep, 2,474 oxen,l,800
Umha, 4,280 ducks, 2,200 turkeys. 2,000
geese and a good many hundred calves,
quail, chicken and grouse.” with them—throw
“What did you do
them overboard?”
“Ate’em,” was the reply. “My lan-
vinced. I tell you people who ‘go down
to the sea in ships, ’ or those of them at
least who travel by the big transatlantic
liners, accept with complacency and as a
matter of course the refinements, con¬
veniences and luxuries found on board
from day to day, and fail to grasp, in
most cases, the extent of the advance
which has been maria in the last twenty-
five years in catering to their wants, as
well as overlook the intricate machinery
which is required to be constantly and
quietly in motion ior the maintenance of
order and regularity. They have little
idea of the vastness and variety of the
stores necessary for the ship herself and
her crew, -and also of that more varied
and quite as astonishingly big supply of
fish, flesh, fowl, vegetables, fruit and
liquor, now considered indispensable ship for
the crowd of passengers the good
carries, whose insatiable sea appetites are
at once the tourists’ joy ana the stew¬
ard’s despair. sad of slaughtered
“That procession did not really
animals I pictured to you,
come aboard in the flesh—that is to say
—I mean—alive, nor all at once, but we
consumed here over 2,000,000 pounds of
meat in the last twelve months, which
represents, as you will see by looking at 1
these columns, the number of carcasses
mentioned. Meat is the chief item, of
course, but man does not live by meat
alone, and last year our passengers ate a
ton of mustard, three-quarters of a ton
of pepper, 7,814 bottles of pickles, about
600 tons of flour, about 900 tons of pota¬
toes, more than 60,000 loaves erf bread
and twenty tons of biscuits.
“These are the necessaries of life, now
for the luxuries—they make a pretty
good Bhowing, too. Look here: 6,000
jars jams of all kinds, a dozen tons of
marmalade—the bitter taste of marma¬
lade is never so well appreciated as on
recovery from seasickness—twenty tons
raisins, currants, figs, dates, etc.; thou¬
sands of crates of grapes, and peaches, fresh ap¬
ples, oranges, bananas other
fruits. That’s a pretty good list of solids,
Isn’t it? Everybody eats, of course,
while everybody doesn’t drink or smoke,
yet the drinkers keep up their end of ths
balance sheet fairly well. See this:
“In one year they drank 15,000 quarts
of champagne, the same of claret and
other light wines, 175,000 bottles min¬ and
eral waters, 35,000 bottles of spirits,
the thumping total of half a million bot¬
tles of ale, beer and porter. While all
this is going down, 75,000 cigars and
50,000 cigarettes are going up, besides
what the gentlemen bring with them.
We also consume about 75,000 pounds of
chewing tobacco, of which the crew and
the steerage use the greater part Then
here is 21,000 pounds tea, and condensed 75,000
pounds coffee, with no end of
milk and almost 800,000 pounds of sugar
to sweeten it Fresh fish in shoals, sar¬
dines in banks, and more than three-
quarters of a million of eggs, cooked in
every conceivable style, round the list out
in a satisfactory manner and give you
some idea of the duties and responsibili¬
ties of the head steward of a ship like
this.”—New York Tribune.
Hard Road to Travel.
On the road from Jerusalem to Jericho
the Dead Sea and Jordan, the almost for¬
gotten song, “Jordan is a Hard Roe.d to
Travel,” was recalled and sung with a
heartiness born of the realization that we
were traversing one of the worst roads
of a country possessing the worst roads
in the world. It was indeed a hard road,
but we reached its end.—Cor. Detroit

Not Likely to Get Away.
Father—Young Sampson has been de¬
voted to you for two or three years,
hasn’t he?
Daughter—Yes, papa.
Father—Isn’t he very slow about pro¬
posing?
Daughter—Yes, George is a little slow,
but (confidently) I think he is sure.—

People Drinking Soda Water.
Did yon ever stand behind a soda
counter and watch a lot of people drink¬
ing? They one and all seem to aim their
no6ee at you through the glasses, and as
thev try to get the last drop of foam from
tbe'bottom of the tumbers, I have noticed
this curious fact: not one nose in a hun¬
dred is straight with the rest of the face.
It either points over my left or over my
right shoulder every time. Some noses
even seem as if they were trying to get
eut of the glass altogether—looking
around for beer, I always imagine.—
Drug Clerk in Globe-Democrat.
Gathering the Vanilla liean.
The vanilla bean is the costliest bean on
earth. It flourishes in Mexico, chiefly in
Papantla and Misantla. It grows wild,
and is gathered and ..marketed by the
natives. Just as they come from the
forests the beans sell at $10 or $12 per
1.000. After the beans are dried and
cured they are worth from $7 to $12 per
pound, according to quality. Last exported year
the vicinity of Papantla alone by
60.000. 000 beans. They are used
druggists and confectioners, and are an
important article of commerce.—Frank
Leslie’s.

Anglo-American Weddings.
It is very odd how ready the English¬
men are to exchange their titles for
the dollars of American heiresses, and
how slow the American gilded youths
are to covet the hands of English noble¬
women. The number of American
women wedded on the other side can be
reckoned only in four figures, while here
in New York I do not know of a dozen
native men of wealth who have foreign
wives.—Brooklyn Eagle.

In Modern Jerusalem.
In modem Jerusalem, as in every
other town under Turkish jurisdiction,
Constantinople itself being a conspicuous
example, are seen filthy, almost impassa¬
ble streets, houses bespeaking poverty of
the most squalid nature, faces giving un¬
mistakable evidence of intense ignor¬
ance; all these impress the stranger as
more certain signs of Mohammedan rule
than the Star and Crescent. —Cor. De¬
