Mitchell county was organised

This was burned in 1857 and the

The First National Bank of

brought to Rome something over
$14,000,000 in currency, and has

How is this, from the Henry
County Weekly: “Mr. Arch
Brown, of Locust Grove, says the
present drouth is not half so dis.
trussing, cither in olfect or dura
tion, as the one experienced in this
county in 1839. That year he
could kick up the dust on the but.

Sarah Seals, an old woman, who

expects to live to be 110 years old.
She joined the B iptist church last

Mr. Eli Cooper says the vast
quantities of the trees boxed for
turpentine are dying in Colquitt
county and in East Mitchell, and
he thinks the unusual sickness pre
vailing this season is owing to this
cause. He says lie came to Mitch
ell county, then Baker, in 1851,
and that when a few years after
ward, Cheevcr and olhera began to
clear large tracks ol land up and
down the river, there was s great
deal ol sickness.
Washington Gazette: Down in
the swumps of Littlo river, a few
hundred yards below the railroad
bridge, stands a solitary old post,
the last vestige of a large bridge
that once spanned the river at that
point, and which was on the old
atago route that led from Wash
ington to the Georgia Road and
the outside world. About thirty-
three years have passed since this
bridge was in constant use, and a
new generation that knows little of
the days of stage coaches has
giown up.

A DIG MEAT DEAL.
The Atlanta correspondent of
the Savannah News wri cs: “I was
talking to a prominent Macon mnn
a few nights since, when the sub
ject of Giichenheimer's big flour
purchase c-amo up. Said he, ‘I
know of a deal made by a Macon
merchant somo years since that
nearly doubled that as a money
l ransaetion,’ ‘ What is it?’ I asked
‘Well, it was just this,’said be.
1871 or 1872. W. A. liutr was in
business in Macon, nnd stood at
the heud in his line. He was oper
ating largely in futures, meat cn
gaging his attention principally
and right here I may say that ‘
know ol no man in Georgia who
ever showed tho nerve that HufT
did in those days, wlii-n he tackled
the idRrkd. Sam ' Reed, of Cin
einnati, was his broker in that city
and Hulf, thinking that meat was
going to ad vancc, telegraphed Reed
to go in, and buy. The market
climbed up a half cent, as Hull pre
dicted it would. He telegraphed
Reed tint lie had enough, and at
oneo took the train for Cincinnati
Uia idea was to taku the meat in
stead of tlie profits. When lie
reached Cincinnati, armed with his
letters of credit to Reed, he found
that his broker had purchased
eighteen car loads, consisting of
250 hogsheads of meat.
The transaction figured up
$24,000. Reed raised $10,000 for
Huff, and then was forced to a halt.
Hull was determined to have the
meat, and telegraphed to bis Louis
villo broker, Warren Mitchell, that
ho would be down on the first train
and to meet him at the Short Lino
depot with $14,000. Huff took the
train at once, and as lie stepped
from the cars ho saw Mitchell
standing on the platform with a
bundle under bis arm as big as a
beer keg.
“‘A lew words passed, when Huff
was informed that the bundlo con
tained $14,000 in greenbacks. They
jumped into a bus, and soon were
at the Galt House taking supper.
Between them, on a chair at the
table, the valuable monument lay
until the supper wns,ovcr.
“‘Hulf and Mitchell left the
hotel a moment later, and weie soon
back at tlie depot. The train left
almost immediately, and reached
Cincinnati at 4 o’clock in the morn
ing. From that hour until 9 o'clock
Huff sat in his room at the Burnett
House witli bis bundle of green
backs in his lap. At 9 o’clock he
deposited his money in bank, and
a little later he and Reed called for
their meat.
“ ‘The call met with much stir
prise from the firm from which the
meat had been bought. They had
calculatcd'on paying the profit if
demanded, or trusting to luck to
get out of the deal by a decline in
the market.
•“How do you propose to pay up
for the meat?"asked one oftboflrm.
“•Why, with cash!” answered
Reed.
“•This made the firm feel ull
over in spots, and soon they were
on the street bunting for meat.
There wns plenty of green meat on
ihe market, but Huff's contract
called for cured meat, bacon, which
v-s* scarce.
“ ‘The news of tho csli swept
over the city in less time than it
takes mu to tell you, and liacon
dumb. She would not even speak
to others while he wns within j went boomi<<g. Well, sir, it took
hearing. She was frequently re-1 UlU flr,n “ n(l ftU of ,u •««"*• r ““r

in their power to this end. Unless
the honest men of Georgia route
themselves to action they will aee a
