She lived only live miles from here, and spent the major portion of her time in our burg. As has been previously stated, Mr. Owens has proven to be a bigamist, and his first wife and family reside at God frey, Ga. Miss Motou's brothers have sent the sheriff off to arrest Mr. Owens, and we are anxiously waiting to hear the result of his search. The contract ing parties took the train here for Co lumbus, but their whereabouts are as yet unknown. After a long drought of a month, our citizens and farmers are wearing a happy smile once more. We have already had a fine season, and the rain continues to fall. Vegetation is luxuriant, and all are counting upon big crops. Our rich lands afford the finest farming section in Georgia. A grand future for Richland. Our city is on a grand boom; it now has population of 1,500, and new residences and stores are continually goiug up, the clatter of hammers is heard from sun up till sunset. Mr. Lewis, who recently moved here from Columbus, is now building a handsome opera house and also two spacious brick stores. Notwithstanding the present panic, real estate is bring a fair price. New families move in every week, and this means moro buildings as tbere is not a vacant store or dwelling in our midst. All new comers are greeted with a warm reception. We have a guano fretory, planing mills and numerous other enterprises, and also a first class bank with a capi tal of $50,000. three good hotels and a weekly newspaper. Our school is in a flourishing condition, the roll now num bers 118 pupils and we will have a grand commencement. Richland has accom plished all this growth in six month,and and wo expect to have quite a city in another six. THIS IS OF INTEREST. A Gentleman Tells How to Effectually Get Kid of BIoMiulto*.

Speer and lodged him in the county jail. About a year ago a member of the Grif fin police force was shot and dangerously wounded, and the man arrested yester day is suspocted by the ollicers here of having done the shooting. The prisoner admits having had a dif ficulty with a police officer there some time since, but aside from this he had little to say about the matter. The Mosquitos are beginning to get in their work in Americus. A few days of such weather as we have been having, and sleeping without a net will be a sheer impossibility. A gentleman who professes to know considerable about these pestiferous in sects, says: “Being troubled a great deal by them and the ordinary mosquito netting sold in the stores proving ineffectual at night, we naturally turned our attention to the meteria medica for relief. By dint of numerous researches and experiments 1 hit upon several simple things which will make mosquitos in a room as scarce as lieu’s teeth. Of these the most sim ple is to get a bunch of dried pennyroy al and suspend it from the ceiling., Mighty little thing isn’t it? But It works like a charm, A little of the essence of pennyroyal sprinkled on the bunch will assist the rapidity of exit. There is one objection that a great many people have to this, and this is the odor. “Another remedy, one that I have not yet tried, is oil of sassafras, with which a piece of cloth, suspended in a like manner, is saturated. It is said to be very good for tho purpose. “The old practice of burning cloth in a room to smoke mosquitos out is sort of two-edged sword, as likely to eject the occupant as his annoying in truders, in fact, it is a remedy worse than the disease. “Mosquitos are averse to certain odors and will not remain where these can penetrate. That pennyroyal is the most volatile of these odors, is undeniable. At least that is what our folk think. THE DAY IN AMERICUS.
