The First National Bank of Rome, in the past seven years, has brought to Rome something over $14,000,000 in currency, and has sent away in currency loss than $1,000,000. 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. tom ol the creek that furnishes ample water power to run Ids mill and gin.” Sarah Seals, an old woman, who lives four miles above Cassviile, was 7 years old at the close of the revolutionary war. She is healthy and does her share of the house hold work. She was owned by tho Seals family during slavery. She expects to live to be 110 years old. She joined the B iptist church last year, being 16G years of age, tho oldest member ever taken in Bar tow county. 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. Miss Olivia Jenkins, of Uynctte county, petulantly relused to speak to her father ten years ago. Al though living in the same house with him ever since, she has never uttered a word to him, acting at the table and elsewhere like one 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.

They were All uniformed, and tlie banner of Cleveland And Hendricks waved high over'their heads. They halted at Union Square, where they were reviewed liv Gen. W. S. Hancock, Mayor Edson. nnd others. Gen. J. B. Woodward bad been appointed Marshal of the day. The Democratic leadete here ere very Jubilant over the reported fact that Commissioner W. W.

R. A. Cunningham, of this city, who is a large and influential con tractor, controlling over 900 work men, wagored this morning in the Hoffman llouso with s prominent Wall street broker $3,000 that Cleveland would carry Now York, $2,000 that Cleveland Is elected, end $1,000 that be would be elect ed exclusivo of New York. It is said that ho ie backed by very prominent bankers wbo have of late come ont for Cleveland, and most ol the Democrats predict Cunningham’s winning. Tho dry goods brigade, beaded hy II, B.
