himself at Oglethorpe, in Macon county.
Then when the railroad terminus was
moved on from Oglethorpe to Americus
he moved to that city, and engaged in
the mercantile business. When the
war broke out he sold out his interests
in Sumter and weut in as captain of an
artillery battery; afterwards he raised
a batallion of artillery, and was
made colonel of the artillery and
was in command of a division of artillery.
He went through to the end of the war,
receiving only one slight flesh wound.
After the war he went back to his home
at Americus, and since has been engaged
in cotton buying, railroading and other
enterprises.*t His principal business has
been that of cotton buying, and is now.
He has always been prominent in the
affairs of Americus, and helms always
refused to run for office. He was a
member of the state convention of 1805, j
and mayor of Americus four years. He
was strongly urged to become a candi
date for the [legislature, prominent al-
liacccmen being particularly anxious for
him to do so. He and Ids colleague, Mr.
McDonald, were elected by large major
ities, though both had opposition.
Hon. John A. McDonald, of Sumter,
was born aud raised in that county. He
is a farmer, one of the most successful
in tbat part of the state. By his honest
dealings, his generouM actions and clear
head he commands the highest respect
of the people, and often has he been
urged to run for office. He always re

Suddenly he arose on his elbow. He
stared wildly around, and his eyes looked
like a madman's. Then he sat np in bed,

He sank back exhausted and fell into

A HOSPITAL CORPS
To be Organized for the Second Georgia
Regiment by Col. Wiley.
There is a new feature in Georgia
military.
The Second Georgia Regiment is to
have* a hospital corps. It is to bo or
ganized at once and the movement is al
ready well under way.
An officer of the Americus Light In
fantry toldja reporter what was said by
Col. Wiley about it He says he expects
to hare a hospital corps in the Second
Georgia that will compare with any in
the military of any state.
This new feature was brought about
by tho Chickamauga encampment and
the great number on the sick list there
at all times showed the urgent necessity
of tbia* The surgeonB and hospital
stewards were worn completely out with
nursing and attending the sick, and more
nurses were needed.
Now, with a hospital corps m the
regiment this difficulty will be met right
there.
It is of courso the duty of the corps
to nurse the sick and in every way ren
der assistance in the hospital work.
The corps will drill without arms, but
will have their tactics, the samo as the
others. They will be designated by the
red cross on the sleeve, and will be
under command of the surgeon of the
regiment and hls'oesistants.
The red cross is recognized in tho
armies of all countries as a safe-guard
against danger.* No one wearing it on
his sleeve will bo molested by the enemy.
He can advanco on^thc field and care for
and relieve the nick and he is not
harmed.
It is not*; known yet how many will
coihpose the corps of tho .Second Geor
gia, but a good many have applied for
admission. The war department has
already been conferred with and an an-
awer is expected at once.
Colonel Wiley expects to have tho
corps organized and under a through
oaurse of drilling within a very short
time.
Off for Augusta.
The colored firemen leave to-day for
Augusta, where they will participate iu
the tournament to-morrow. Tho colored
companies are hard workers when prop
erty is threatened "by lire and they have
many friends in Americus who will join
in the hope that they may w in tho first
prize in all the contests which they
enter.

Where an Englishman Is Honored.
Speaking of Englishmen in New York
suggests the recent plaint of a very well

this city. "You know there are now no
distinctive resorts for English people
abroad,” said 6he. “Wo used to go to
Scotland, but tho rich Americans over

available estute. Then we tried Brigh

"It used to bo that the Swiss and Ger
man watering place hotels were run
chiefly in the interests of the English
traveler. Now tho American has it all
his own way. There are now more
Americans living in villas about Flor

and the German spas than Englishmen.

How Dog* Are Stolen In Paris.
Dog stealers in Paris have two prin
cipal means of getting hold of the ani
mal they want First of all they find
out the dog's habits, the liberty ho is al
lowed, tho hoars that he takes un airing
either alone Or with a servant, and make
their arrangements accordingly. They
sometimes prowl aronnd a houso for a
week beforo obtaining all the informa
tion they need. When they learn where
they can meet the animal, they attract
him by Some sort of bhit, or make him
follow a bitch, which they lead with a
string.
Iu a narrow street it is easy to approach
the dog and pat him. If he is not very
savage, tho offer of something to eat ren
ders him confiding; the thief, who has a
slipnoose ready, passes it around the
dog’s neck, and the game is bagged. On
tile boulevards and in tho public parks,
where dogs usually follow their masters
or mistresses without being held by a
cord, tho thieves, always use a second
animal, and os soon us the dog comes
near enough to the decoy brute tho lasso
is thrown nn.d tho gill hint captured.—

A Talk with n Bird Fancier.
Mocking birds come from Texas chief
ly. Albany in that state is the head
quarters for them. One trapper there
sends me from 50 to 100. mocking birds
every week in crates. I forward nearly
all of them to New York, exchanging
tliem for other stock. Tho system of ex
change is carried on to a great extent in
the fancier’s bnsiness. Most of the stock
that we get from boys is negotiated on
that plan; so many rabbits make a squir
rel, and so on.
I do a considerable trade in peacocks,
which customers who have country
places buy for ornamental purposes.
Farmers raise them in Maryland and
Virginia. Goldfish are propagated by
regular breeders in Maryland, Virginia
and Pennsylvania, who send them to me
in cans, but the fancy goldfish, with
double tails, are imported from Japan to
San Francisco and reshipped from that
city.
Those stuffed birds are pots. Their
owners bring them here for the purpose;
four legged beasts, too, of all sorts. A
squirrel is one of the most difficult ani
mals to stuff successfully. Food is an
it^m in caring for such a menagerie as
this; it costs me nearly $1,000 a year.—
Interview in Washington Star.
Talcing' a Girl's Ann.
The young man who lifts his girl
along by her elbow is to be seen every
few yards on Broadway. Nor is this
style of locomotion confine,] to any par
ticular class. It is one of those fashions
that occasionally starts up in the crude
society of the couutry village, and, re
versing the usual rule of social con
tagion, spreads to the metropolis. Being
simply a recorder and not an arbiter in
such matters, I am not prepared to say
that it is strictly fashionable in N.w
York, much less proper or in good form.
If the girl likes it 1 withdraw my nat
ural objections. Where tho sex is con
cerned it is pretty safe to follow the
rule that obtains in cnchre—“When in
doubt take the trick."—New York Her

Fore* of Habit.
A lady who wishfed to weigh her baby,
two months old, but who hud no scales
at hand suitable for the purpose, took
the child to a neighboring \jutcher shop.
The butcher put the baby in his spring
scales, looked at the dial, and remarked:
“With the bones and all, mum, it’s
fourteen pounds aud a half. Shall IK*-
“How dare you make such a sugges
tion,” screamed the woman, as she
snatched her baby and rushed out of the
shop.—Youth’s Companion.
Two Hoys.
A neatly dressed boy fell into the
Harlem river just below the bridge yes
terday morning about breakfast time.

He got out without assistance and went
