Mr. Jno. Speight showed us a
peculiar rock a few daya ago,
which he found cn his plantation,
It had several very finely formed
hollows Id it, some large and
others small, but all tbe same shape
—something like a (au. He was
of the opinion it was a petrified
oyster or clam.
“Did you ever see • drove of
possums?” inquired an Americus
gentleman ol a Recorder reporter
the other day.
“Well, not that I remember of,”
said the astonished man of the
quill, as he searched bis memory
for something of that kind he
might have seen on a possum hunt.
“I saw a drove of five possums
the other morning, driven by five
negroes.”
“I can tell you something stran
ger than that,” said the reporter.
“Over In Hawklnsville they have
a possum farm, where possums arc
bred and raised like you would
dog, or aometbing of that kind,
understand, too, that the owner
finds it a profitable business, and
makes contracts to deliver £ con
sumer so many possums each week
like you would turkeys or chick
ens. I believe the scheme was
originated by tbe ladies of the
towo, in order to keep their hue
bands from'going possum bunting
so much. The men said they must
have the possums, you know, and
so the ladles got a farmer to fence
up a place and start this possum
farm.”
“That is very queer,” said the
listener, as be dropped the lid of
one eye and plunged bis hands a
little deeper in his pockets. “It is
almost as queer as a business there
is iu Thomasville. A young law
yer of tuat place runs a dog board
ing bouse, and makes money from
it, too. You see a great many
Northern visitors spend their win
ters there, and many of them bring
pet dogs with them, or pointers,
terriers, or poodle (logs. They get
tired of having them around the
hotel and send them to this lawyer
to board several days; or, they
may be going away for a short
time, and don’t care to take their
dogs with them, in that way the
dog boarding house comes in very
handy. The proprietor charges
good rates for Inking care of the
dogs, and makes it very profitable.
He also raises some fine pointer
dogs, and occasionally sells one
for a fanoy price. I knew him
once to sell a pointer for a fine
riding buggy and $100 iu cash.
Those Northerns pay almost any
price for what they fancy."
“He started this dog hotel,’
continued the speaker, after taking
a froBb breath, “as a diversion
from his law business. Ho was
naturally very loud of dogs, snd
gradually got to taking care , of
them for different people. He runs
it now like a regular hotel, -regis
ters every dog that is brought him.
When 1 went down to sco him he
made me register my namo in a
hook be keeps for visitors. He has
had some of the prominent men of
tbe country down to sec his pets,
and all register. It’a a beautiful
sight to see tbe dogs bound toward
him when the gate of their yard is
opened.”

The Beat Bale.
Mr. W. C. Toole’a heart was
gladdened, Saturday, by a letter
from Macon informing him that
ho had won the premium at the
State Fair for best bale of upland
long staple cotton. The premium
is (25, wbicli was enclosed in the
letter. The cotton was the famous
Bohb” long staple. Clyde Toole,
the winner ot the premium, is a
young farmer just starting out for
himself. He had no thought of
entering the hale for a prize until
Captain McGarrah advised him to. j
of the Fulton county jail
Mr. Cbeves arrived in Atlanta
last night at 11:20 on the Cemral
passenger train, and was driven
directly from the union passenger
depot to the Fulton county jail.
He left Dawson yesterday morn
ing, and on biB trip 10 Atlanta was
carefully guarded by Sharilf Thorn
ton, of'Terrell county, and a depu
ty sheriff. Thu trip was made
WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL ACCIDENT,
and when Mr. Chores enteral the
jail last night at midnight he gave
a sigh of relief. Mr. Cheves was
transferred from the Terrell county
jail to the Fulton county jail by
an order of the court, and that
order was granted because of the
intense excitement prevalent in
Dawson, and the order wilt contin
ue in force probably until Mr.
Cheves'trial occuis. A Constitu
tion reporter met Mr. Cheves at
tbe depot last night ami made an
unsuccessful cflort to interview
him. He positively declined to
talk, saying:
WHAT LITTLE HE SAYS
“My attorneys have advised me
to say nothing and I shall observe
their’adviccs.”
“But tbe public is anxious to
know something about your trou
ble, Mr. Cbeves,” said llie reporter.
“I am quite sorry that l can’t
accommodate the public. I ant a
member ol the press, and the press
I think ought to have some consid
eration for mu. I know that it is
not best tor me to talk, and not
withstanding my desire lo gratify
your request, I must most posi
tively but at the same time respect
fully decline to sav anything.”
“Who are your attorneys?"
“Messrs. Hawkins and Wooten.
I have not yet had a trial, and
when that comes up it wiil be time
for the details to bo made known.”

The Battle Still Rages 1 the party of ecoaomyirefori.
On every side Gyles, the
Clothier and Hatter, presses
the enemy with the battle cry,
best Clothing for the least mon
ey. Already they are begging
for quarters. He listens to no
compromise, but demands a
complete surrender and ac
knowledgment that he is the
only house in Southwest Geor
gia that gives perfect fitting,
well made, first-class garments
for the least money. He is of
the people; affiliates with no
combinations or cliques to put
up high prices and monopolize
things. He is willing to live
;tnd let live. So sound the as
sembly ! Fall in ! The band
will continue
Wc arc marching, wc arc marching,
To tbe great good Clothier, Gyles,
Where we get our Hats and suits

Of the very latest styles.
HOW HE APPEARS.
Mr. Cheves’ manner of talking
was positive and emphatic, but
clever and refined. He is decided
ly a handsome man. He is about
five feet ten inches tall and will
weigh about one hundred and sixty
pouuds. His face is pleasant and
a smile played about his face as lie
talked. ‘ His eye is piercing and
his manners agreeable. He wears
u full beard of brown and his
general appearance indicates that
he is
A MAN Or POSITIVE CHARACTER.
He was heavily ironed, his
hands being cuffed and his fett
chained together hut notwithstand
ing these inconveniences he moved
easily about on his feet. Before
reaching the jail he expressed a
desire to know what kind ol a
place it was, and said that he
hoped he would be able to endure
the confinement. The prisoner and
his guard were met at the depot
by Deputy Sheriff Green, by whom
they wore conducted to the jail.
WHY THE ORDER WAS (1RANTED.
Sheriff Thornton says tlmtjtbc or
der of the court transferring
Cheves to the Fulton county jail,
was granted because it was not
thought exactly safe to keep him
in tho Terrell county jail. Mr. H.
G. Scott, n Cincinnati drummer,
came up on the same train with
Mr. Cheves, and lelt Dawson with
the parly yesterday. Mr. Soott
saj s that tlie transfer was made
because there were open threats of
violence to the prisoner. Ho says
that Captain Pickett, Mr. Cheve’s
victim, has friends in Dawson to-
day who arc too impatient to await
th* court’s disposal of the ease.

To Election Managers. j
Americus, November 1. j
Mr. Editor—About this lime, it
is very common to see in the news-
papers advice to election managers
about preventing illegal votes, etc. i
Now would it not be well to ad- 1
monish managers that they ought j
not to forget the oath they take, as
to divulging how persons vote. I •
know this obligation has not always
been regarded as sacred.
