Suit for Divorce Filed.
At Macon Saturday Bow A Ander¬
son, attorneys of Mrs. Thomas G.
Woolfolk, filed in the office of the
clerk of Bibb superior court a suit
for divorce from her husband, the
notorious Tom Woolfolk, the twice-
condemned murderer. It has been a
matter of surprise that Mrs. Wool-
folk had n 6 t filed this suit sooner.
Nearly twoyears have now elapsed
since the terrible tragedy. No child
has been bora to the union between
Tom Woolfolk and his wife. The
marriage was a runaway match and
occured about two months before the
murder, on a Sunday afternoon in a
passenger coach of an East Tennes¬
see railroad train while the train was
running through Bose Hill cemetery.
The marriage wasillfated, and has
always been a kind of graveyard
affair. Mrs. Woolfolk was a Miss
Bird of Jones county, or the
type, an exceedingly handsome
of 16 summers when she married.
She had an elegant form.

One of the oldest engineering
schemes projected in the world ie
now gradually approaching comple¬
tion, and the work will, in all proba¬

year. This is the canal through the
Isthmus of Corinth, in Greece. Work
was actually begun on the canal un¬
der the Emperor Nero, so that over
seventeen hundred years will have
passed between its beginning and its
final completion. As finally exca¬
vated, the canal will be four milee
long, with a depth of right netres, or
sufficient for the largest vessels which
usually n avigate the a djbeent seas.

Tke Sew* a* Gathered Over Georgia
The first rail of the Columbus
Southern railroad was laid near Co¬
lumbus yesterday. The road Is now
graded from Columbus to Richland.
Thereto a gentleman living near
Quitman, who never ate a morsel of
bread or meat in his life. He sub¬
sists principally on fruits and pota¬
toes. He weighs nearly 200, and was
never sick more than an hour in hts
life. He drinks a gallon of milk a
day.
Farmers in Georgia will do well to
look after their horses and mules
without delay, as several fatal cases
of glanders have been reported in
Clay and Pike counties. The spread
of this dreaded disease will prove
disastrous to owners of live stock
and prompt action should be taken
to avert such a calamity.
Borne of the California fruitgrowers
qre making money by planting black¬
berry bushes between rows of young
orange and lemon trees, for in this
way they secure a good income while,
the trees are reaching a bearing age.
One man has made about f200
an acre in this way, and commends
the plan as most desirable.
The Savannah News announces a
curious but most important discov¬
ery that has been made by a Geor¬
gian. It says: “A South Georgia
farmer says he prevents his cows
from jumping a fence by cutting off
their lower eyelashes. This makes
the fence appear to be about three
times higher than it to.” .
Luke Crawford, of Thomaston,
tells the following as a specimen of
hto swapping proclivities: He bad
one day three horses, all not worth
♦ 200 , and during the day traded
fifty-five times and quit with one
horse, it being one of the same he
started with. He also had as a re¬
sult of the day’awork $850 in mon¬
ey, a bull and a buggy.
Bob Stevens was sitting in the
crib door of Mrs. Jack Slappey, at
Plains of Dura, in Samter county,
shelling corn. A hog was just out¬
ride eating the scattering grain. A
bright flash of lightning occurred
from the clouds overhead, and the
electric flash struck a large poet oak
near by, tearing it up into kindling
wood, killing the hog and knocking
Bob over. Be felt as if a thousand
needles had been suddenly thrust in¬
to hto entire person, but was not
otherwise hurt. He considers it a
miraculous sscape.' ' sf ‘ .
The people along the line of Lee
county, Ga., are greatly excited over
the alleged appearance in their midst
of John Pickett, a negro, who was
hanged in Lee county, on the 14th of
Jura. After hto body was cut down
it was placed in a pirns box, and hur¬
riedly driven off to Sumter
where he
'
week latter it was rumored that be
had been resuscitated and nursed
back to health. When asked as to
where Pickett was living the negroes
refused to talk, alleging that he
would throw a spell over
them if they should betray hto where¬
abouts.

“Harmonising” the Republicans
of Virginia on the basis of the abso¬
lute domination of Mahone, affords
great encouragement to the Demo¬
crats, who know that it will bring to
the support of Democratic nominees
an element of the Republican party
that will not subjugate itself to the
unforgiving tyrant Harrison has set
over them.

Where Shall We gammer It.
This is an important question,
both to the invalid and pleasure
seeker.
Bowden Lithia, Georgia’s wonder¬
ful Mineral Spring, probably offers
the best advantages to both the
health and pleasure seeker.
Only twenty miles from Atlanta,
situated directly on the Georgia
Pacific railroad. Trains several
times daily; full mail and telegraph
accommodations. A magnificent
hotel; Hot Springs system of bath¬
ing. The finest mineral water in the
world; cool mountain air, and the
great Piedmont Chautauqua holding
its summer session there this season,
make it especially attractive.
