Dublin bss had but one alight rain in 120 days. Henry Bowles, of near Wood' ville, who is 74 years old, one day recently picked 225 pounds ot cot ton by sun down. Last Thursday morning Mr. George Klllen brought to Fort Valley a bunch of potatoes that in some respects is most remarkable. There were S3 potatoes on tbo bunch, the product of one vine— all grown in one hill. The potatoes are of tbe Uayli variety, and grew from vines set out about July last, on a piece of ground near Mr. Killen's residence in Perry. Com' paralively little rain has fallen since the vines wete set out. The yield is remarkable. There are filed in the cleik's office of Pike Superior Court four teen suits for damages against the Central Railroad and Banking Company. These suits grew out ot the recent fire at Barnesville. The entire local bar of that city comprising eight lawyers, repre' sent tbe various plaintiffs. There will be filed ten moro cases of tbe same character. The insurance compinies sustaining losses a by ibis fire will join in these suit* to recover $49,000 paid on policies. They will employ special counscL It has been held by courts of last resort in other States that a recov cry can be bad in Bucb cases. Tbe entire turn of damages is $175,000. A writer in the Ncwnan Herald says : As a matter of some public mportance I will give a brief sketch of some strange freaks of nature in a family not many miles from our town. Tbe father is con fined to his room from which ail light is excluded. His sight is so sensitive that he cannot endure the light for a moment, hence bis room is kept constantly dosed, and he never ventures out tinder any circumsta ices. This bss been bis condition for a number of years. It is slated that he married hi* niece. One son and two daughters are deaf and dumb, and are living with him. He remains mostly alone and when bo needs attention, he has a stick with a piece of red doth tied to on* end, *nd run* that stick through a bole in the side of Lite house, which the daughters seeing couic to hii relief. Are this afflicted offspring tbe result of in ter-marriage between blood rela tions t Observation o< many year* in regard to similar cases induce me to favor such a theory. Milton Democrat: Sometime ago Major J. C. Blackatock,of Forsyth county, w*s visiting here and told me that he had a book that be wished to give me for the reason that it was the school book of my father iu 1824, and in 1828 Major Blackstock, then a boy, went to tbe store of Truman Kellogg, in Jackson county, where my father, then a young man, was clerking and asked to buy a book. There being none in the store for sale, ay father proposed to let him have one that he hid used as a school book CO years ago. Tbe Major purchased it, an I fur nearly 60 years has kept it. Not a single page is out,even the fly leave* are good, and upon one of them ia my father’s name in hi( own band writing, done fully 60 years ago. The title of the book i* tbe “Me moirs of Andrew Jackson,” com piled by a citizen of Massachusetts anJ published by Charles Ewer, of Boston. The closing paragraph is as follows; “Time will develop bis luture destiny—whether he will yet lie the chief magistrate of a great repubtic or whether bis name will go down to posterity simply as one Of tbe most distinguished war riors and disinterested patriots of the age.” DAMSON Rrjolcca Over the Democratic Victory Dawson, Nov. 8.—There was great rejoicing here last night over the latest election news. Wo fired a salute for every Democratic State and tried to fire them loud enough to be beard in New York. The concussion broke out many win- dow panes, and frightened many who had not heard tbe news. Several small torchlight proces sions formed and paraded tbe streets, and yelled like confederate soldiers making a charge. Even some young ladies and girls light ed some torches and displayed them ia the street in front of llitir residences. A few couples called on Miss Lena Harper and spent a couple of pleasant hours listening to some fine music by Miss Lena and MiB9 Cora Anthony on the piano and Messrs. Sam Slappey and Ira Chambers on tbe violin. Mrs. Mattie Harper, ot Atlanta daughter of Mr. M. U. Baldwin, Sr. is on a visit to het parents and brothers in this city.

Elberton South: George Worley tells some extravagant gopher tale's about Florida, fie eaye on one oeession a certain gentleman went to Florida, with tlm idea of getting rich from an orange grove, end was exceedingly anxious to bay land. A tract was offered him at a price that he thought would be cheap for any kind of land in any country, and he bought R and paid for ft before he ever saw it. After getting his deed he concluded he would ride out and look for it. He found it so full of gopher boles that it was impossible for him to ride over it, and he hitobed hie horse and undertook to walk over it. He did not go far, however, until he became so disgusted that he pulled out his deed, and, stick ing it in a gopher hole, said: “Here, d—n you, you have got possession and I will givt yon the title to it.” He then quit Florida in disgust.
