cones—wheat, corn, rye, oats, rice Irish
rod sweet potatoes, peanuts, chufas,
cotton peas, sugar cane, apples, pears,
peaches, grapes, plums and other fruits.
The climate is mild and equable, and one
of the most healthy in the world, the air
being pure and ury and most beneficial lor
lung and tliroat diseases. All kinds of
outdoor work can be performed without
inconvenience from summer heat or
winter cold. Americus has a population

George D. Cobb, S. M. Cobb and
D. Liudcrman gave tbeir promis
sory note te A. A. Webber iu 1877
for $178 75, due and owing bim.
Tbe note was to bear interest at ibe
rate of 5 per cent, a monlb, paya
ble in advance, wi'li tbe express
agreement that upon a failure to
pay the interest it should be added
te and becomes part ol the princi
pal ami bear interest. On June 28,
1881, Webber entered amt in tbe
justice's court against tbe notema-
kers and at that time tbe sum to'al
due amounted to (1,008. Webber
did not issue a summons until the
year allowed by law for tbe issuing
of a summons after tbe tiling of a
complaint had nearly expired, and
be then held back the papers, and
did not serve them on the defend
ant until last month, at which time
bis claim against them bad amount
ed to $12,104. Messrs. Messick
and Maxwell appeared before Jus
tice Wood yesterday in the special
interest of the defendant hinder-
man and asked that tbe suit against
him should be dismissed on several
grounds. Tbe principal objections
raised were that the amount sued
for exceeded the jurisdiction of
tbe court, nnd also that tbe delay
in serving ihe summons bail been
unnecessary. The matter was argu
ed at length, and justice Wooddis
missed the suit against hinderman,
principally aecauso the amount in
volved exceeded the jurisdiction of
bis court. He held that as the ease
now stands the suit is for $12,104,
as tbe terms of the note expressly
provided tb&t, in the event of a
failure to pay the interest, it should
become a part of tbe principal and
bear interest. He also held that if
a plaintiff was entitled to delay tl e
serving of a summons as long as be
pleased, the only statute of limita-
lion that would run against bim
would be bis own conscience.
lion fox Fame to be Appointed,
Of course Sunset Coy's appoint
ment as Minister to Turkey, over
which Washington has been smiling
all Ibe evening, began in a joke.
Mr. Cox said jokingly to a friend
who wanted to visit the American
Legation at Constantinople that be
guessed tbe only way was to have
S. S. Cox,of New York, made Min
isler to Turkey. Mr. Cox's remark
was lepeated, of course, and the
appointment began to be talked
ubettt as a possible one. Then Mr.
Cox got to thinking Beriously
about it. lie was in Constantino
ple during bis last tour in Europe,
lie liked bis experience there, and
in fact nil through the East. Tbe
more be thought of it Hie more at
tractive it seemed. Tbe salary of
the Minister to Turkey, which
was lormerly $7,500, was raised
by Congress the last session to
$10,000. The term of thu office will
prooably be four years. Last year
Mr. Cox bad some difficulty to get
Ids renominalion to congress. The
next attempt might lie more diffl
c lit. He was CO on Sept. 20 last.
Oa the whole Mr. Cox thought that
lie would like to go to Turkey.
The President, like everybody
else, likes Mr. Cox. When be
beard that Mr. Cox wanted to go
as Minister to Turkey he sent him
word that lie would nomiuate him.
He kept his word to day. The
first Mr. Cox (who is undei the
weather, arid so confined to his
room) knew of it was in telegrams
o( congratulation! from N'ew York,
which began to pour in early in the
afternoon. Mr. Cox will take oc
casion to thoroughly explore tbe
Holy Land while he is abroad, and
will probably write a book or two.
The nominal!in is universally ap
proved. Mr. Cox will lie greatly
missed from the House.

Bedford to bis daughter on her mar
riage with Sir Edward Malet wan
(50,000 invested in eonools. The
papers bare columns of descrip
tiensoflhe gorgeous wedding cere
mony in Westminster Abbey. Tbe
radical newspapers contrast tbe
unseemly splendor of the wedding
pageant with the dukcof Bedford's
constant refusal to subscribe to
local charities. They recall tbo fact
that tile bulk of bis iinm»n‘ e income
is derived irom the r< n al of rooter
ries in London slums which are in
a sad state of dilapidation. They
also recall that during the ainallpoi
scare in London list summer the
duke of Bedtord refused to clean
tbe pestilential alleys of his proper
ty around Covent garden market,
and even refused to allow ollu rs to
remove the acclimated filth of years.
It is said that the only time ween
his grace shows a lively sense of
his duties ss a landlord is when
some tenant fails to pay his rent
in which the tenant is evicted with
great promptness.
The Story of n Cotton Seed,
Pineapple, (Ah.) Appeal.
In the fall of 1881 a little dauglit
er of Captain J. W. Plomey, who
resides near this place, got a cot
ton seed up her nose, and all efforts
to dislodge proved unavailing.
Physicians gave it as their opin
ion that the seed would either
decay and come out by piecemeal
or that it would sprout, when it
could tie readily removed. Tim«
wore on and Captain Plomey
hoped that the seed bad come out.
but inflammation set in ami caused
the child considerable suffering
and annoyance. The parents had
lately been thinking seriously ol
taking her to some oltV where sur
geons who make specialties of such
troubles could be consulted for
treatment, but several days ago
the little lady took a severe cold,
and last week, in a lit of violent
sneezing, tbe cotton seed was ex
pelted, after having been in her
nose for a little more than three
years and s’x months.
There is a plain little red church
in Albany, N. Y., in which the
Quakers have worshipped for more
than half a century. Formerly the
edifice was filled every Sabbath by
a prim, quiet congregation, who
gathered Irom the surrounding
country. Of late years the mem
bership lias gradually decayed, un
l<i now there is no pastor, but at
11 o’clock on Sundays the door is
unlocked and seven or eight per
sons enter and take scats. No
word is spoken usually, nnd after
an hours' quiet meditation the old-
ett one present will arise and
stretch out his hand to the one sit
ting nearest t* him. Hands are
sbsken all around, and the emigre
galion departs to repeat the same
thing Hie next Sunday. If the
spirit moves any one to speak or
pray be does so. Four times n
year general meting is held, and
then twenty or twenty-live persons
gather, anil once or twice a vsar
a preacher attends. And this is
the life of the church.

Free Advertising for Doctors,
Philadelphia Bulletin.
Physicians often pretend to de
spise newspapers,and they condemn
advertising as degrading to thoir
profession. Yet no men are more
anxious than they are to have their
names published in connection with
important cases, and even in unim
portant ones they become notori
ous. They thus get the best kind
ol advertising gratuitously. In a
cast like that of General Grant,
which causes anxiety throughout
the whole country, a good many
New York ductors are making
themselves conspicuous in the news
paper reports, just as many in all
parts of the land did in the case of
President Garfield. There will be
more of these as General Grant’s
malady maxes progress.
Standing Advertisements.
Concerning what is known as
“standingadvertisements" in news
papers, which some merchants say
are useless, it has been remarked,
and truly, that they command tbe
greatest confidence. Tbe man who
for years resides in a community
and lives a respectable life, even
though lie be of but moderate abili
ty, will grow in tne confidence and
esteem of bis fellows. On the same
principle a newspaper advertise-
meat becomes familiar to the read
er. It may not be carefully read
every issue, (till it makes the name
and business of a man familiar, and
its continued presence in the col
umns of a paper inspires confidence
in the stability of the advertiser.
Twelve years ago Detective Gil
bert Carr, of New l'ork City, met
a boy at night outside of Fulton
market, who asked bim for help to
get a night's lodging. Tbe detec
tive stopped to question the young
ster, ami finding him to be a bright
faced, honest looking lad, liked bim
and gave lii in menev and helped
him to find work. Shortly after
ward the boy went West and got
work on a firm in Minnesota. In
the course of time he married tbe
larmer’s daughter, and now own*
one of the prettiest farms in that
State. A few days since the detec
tive received a call at his house in
New York from the young man and
his wife, who were on their way to
Europe for a pleasant jaunt. Be
fore sailing the young couple pur-
clia.ed the handsomest watch and
chain to be lound in the city, and
presented them to Mr. Carr as a
token of their gratitude. The de
tective's companions say he never
lets any fellow that has any good
in bim sleep in thu stationhouae,
and is very proud of being able to
testify that many of those he has
helped have ret timed to thank him.
One of the tricks of a French
preatidigitateur ia a surprising illu
sion. A weddiug ring borrowed
from a lady ia hammered into a bar
by some volunteer assistant among
the audience. The conjurer bor
rows a programme, rolls it into a
cornucopia shaped receptacle for
the ring, and without the use ol tbe
left hand crumples the paper into
a ball, which tbe volunteer bolds
light, full in view of ths audience.
When he is directed to open It ho
finds that the crumpled paper con
sists ol five sealed envelopea, one
within the other, and with the wed
ding ring in the smallest and inner
most.
Woman's cruelty to woman has
made thousands fail to speak
io each other. Cicely had just
dropped in to congratulate her
friend oq pleasant prospects direct
ly after Lent. "O, I'm ao glad for
you,nav dear. Augustus al way* was
such charming company. Oh, he's
real nice. He paid me marked at
tention half a dozen yiara ago.”
Indeed! I believe I’ve heard him
say something about you being a
very dear friend ol his mother.”
