What All the Polka ora l>«lu K . j Dawson, Jan. 3§.—Mr. J. J. 1 Buckhalt, who left Terrell county eighteen years ago, and baa resi ; ded in several other States, and several counties in this State, has returned to our county, purchased the Capt. Dillon place from Mr. 1 Frank Harrell, and has settled i down for life. He acknowledges that in all his ramblings he has found no place that suits him as well as Terrell county, Ga. This is the verdict of nearly all who have left here for other counties or States. Yet many are leaving for other parts, seeking new fields of adventure and fortune, or mis fortune, as the case may be, leav ing old homes, old friends and as sociations and trying to find some thing better. “Oh! there's a power to make each hour As sweet ah Heaven designed it; Nor need we roAin to bring it home. For few there he that find it. We Peek too high for things clone by, And lone whnt nature found un; For life hath here no friends so dear As homo and friends around us.” In South Carolina. ATLANTA AFFAIRS. As we got into South Carolina we were joined by a Judge from j * *«.,« Pittsburg. I forget just wlmt court be was judge of, but be bad been trarciing South for bis health, and bad just figured up that he had paid out $25 in fees for wait ers, and was mad all the way through. He vowed by his bald ness that he wouldn’t pay out an other red cent, and we encouraged him as bird as we could Atlanta, Jan. :!0._Two suits for damages were filed in tho Su perior Court of Fulton county to day, against the Atlanta Constitu tion Publishing Company. They are for for $19,000 each. Last year the Constitution published a special from Henderson, Houston county, stating that Miss Cainelia When we went to the hotel theri >erl ’y> of that community, had landlord gave 11s a big room with c l°I>cd with her married brother-iu three beds in it. A big negro ' aw -lames T. Grant, on the day brought the trunks up, and when he was ready to go the Judge call ed to him and began: “Colored person, stand 1101 Now I want to say to you that 1 shall expect prompt service with out fees. You have brought up my trunk; that's all right—it was your business to. I shall want water, and I shall want a fire, and I shall probably ask you to go on errands, but if you ever look fees at me I’ll throw you out of the window!” set for the marriage to a young farmer named William K.' Till. The pair wa. overtaken at Hawk- insville, when Orant explained that he was taking the young lady away from au objectionable suitor. Miss Perry and Till have since married, and now Orant sues for $10,000 and Till and his wife sue for $10,009. The Constitution published a state ment for the two at the time of the occurrence, and the proprietors of the big daily are not very much frightened by this heavy claim for PRIZES OF (UNO,. $75,01)0 .. 25,000 luowf .. 12,000 800 90,000 1,907 ri izvi Applicatl nation Prize* of t. itl»>ir t 250. •265,600 for rates to clubs should t>e made 00 of the Company in New Orleuna.

Americus, Ga., Aug. 24, 18*4 depart the morning of the .'hi, in comes a constable with a warrant to arrest the Judge for threats of personal vielenoe. It had been sworn out before a justice ten miles away, and the complainant was tho negro waiter. It took the two of na to hold the Judge down on his back during the first paroxism, and when he had cooled of! a little the negro slipped into the room and said: •‘White man, stand up!

Lark, ol Leary, has rented the residence o( Professor Cbeves, and will mat e his family to our ci’.y in a few days. The cry Must is still—“they come !” Senator A. II. Edwards, of St. Charles, is authority for the state ment that the manufacture ot corn cob pipes has assumed considera ble magnitude. These cob pipes are treated chemically so as to be as hard as brier-root, and a;-e smoothed by machinery to present a neat appearance, and they are a very popular article throughout the country. Senator Edwards says that “some three years ago the business of making cob pipes was started at Washington, Mo. in a small way, and to day the bus iness has grown to such magnitude that over filty hands, with all nec cssary machinery, arc kept con stantly at work. One farmer told me that he sold his cobs after the corn had been eaten off by the hogs for about twenty-four dollars per wagon load, and I am told by men from that county that they easily realize nine dollars per acre addi tional on their corn by selling the cobs. Heretofore cobs were al lowed to rot in the barn yards, but now they are easily worth half as much as the corn. A field of corn which will sell at fifteen dol lars per acre is, taking one year itk another, usually considered very good, and the farmer consid ers himself well repaid for his labor, but when nine dollars per acre ad ditional is added for the cobs, the farmer has struck a good sized bonanza.” WAIT TDD. J Two or throe BOARDERS, i thh Offlr#. j»“ Rev. George G. N. McDonald, of Albany, presiding elder of this dis- trict, passed through our city to day on his way to Ward*, whtra ha will hold a masting. J.A. f. Science destroys some of the mast cherished popular delusions. Catgut is derived from sheep; Ger man silver was not invented in Ger many, and it contains no silver; Cleopatra's Needle was not erected by her, nor in ber honor; Pompey's Pillar bad no historical connection with that personage; sealing wax does not contain a particle of wax, the tuberose it not a rose, but a polyantb; the strawberry is not a berry; Turkish baths did not origi nate in Turkey, and are not baths at all; whalebone is not bone, and contains not any of its properties. Rafting Timber. Rafting timber is a growing in dustry along the Flint River. The business has already got to be a a “big thing,” and seems to be still growing. A great many rafts have been sect down the river since the stream has been swollen by the recent rains. There is at fine timber along the banks ol the Flint river as can be found any where in the South, and those who have engaged in the business of rafting it to liaiobridg* and Apa- laobicola have found It profitable.— Albany N»W« Hon. W. VV. Gordon, of Chat ham, was among the callers at the Governor’s office yesterday. The report reaches here that Hon. W. O. Tnggie, of Troup, now at Thomasville, is at the point of death from consumption. There is much hope here now that the artesian well will be made a success. George Scott has just been sen tenced to thirteen years in the penitentiary at Michigan City. He was arrested for throwing a Wabash train from the track. T he authorities were after him for stealing a horse, and the novel idea struck him that if he could ditch a train it would stop long enough to lake him on and thus whirl him out of that section el country, out of reach of his pursu ers. The plan worked like a charm as far as the ditching was concern ed, but the train failed to pick it self up and leap back on the track with the alacrity that George had anticipated. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, bu the bright younL' man was compelled to take to his heels to save his neck. He was caught two days afterward. Revolvers In Faria. The practice of carrying a re volver is now very common in Paris. A gentleman belonging to one of the most fashionable clubs of that city said the other day. “I left the club about I o'clock. There was no porter in the hall and I did not know where ray greatcoat was, but I thought I should recognize it because 1 had left a revolver in one pocket. Well, I touched twen ty greatcoats, and in all I felt re volvers, and I was still searching when the porter entered and gave me mine, which lie had forgotten to hang up. Ills Brains illown Oul. Tkom.asvii.lk, Ga. Jan. 30 About 2:15 o’clock this afternoon E. B. Allen shot himself at his mother’s boarding house, on Madi son street, with a double-barrel shotgun, the load taking effect in the forehead, just above the eyes, laying open the skull to the crown, tasking a most ghastly wound. The brains and blood were spat tered on the ceiling and the walls. It is not known whether the shoot ing was accidental or intentional. A tramp called upon a gentleman in Bath, Me., and offered to saw wood for his dinner. The gentle man accepted tho proposition, but was unable to find the saw. He was so pleased, however, with the fellow’s willingness to work that he gave him a square meal. A short time afterward he discovered that the tramp had stolen the aaw. ■Stock men in Oregon have lost heavily by recent snows and severe cold. Three men near The Dalles have lost 600 sheep and $00 bead of cattle, at last accounts the ani mals were still dying bv the hun dred. In Josephine and Umatilla counties also cattle and sheep by the thousand have perished. In the provinces along the Ural river in Russia, a cast iron prohi bition law has long been in force. As a result, the people have grown wealthy and prosperous, bat they are now beginning to undo it all by indulging in cologne drinking.
