THE MISSING LINK.
A GENERAL REVIEW
of the Bull to Which the Acrleultural In
terests of Putnam Hu Been Seduced.
Putnam, 6a., November 25,—Farm
ers are about through gathering and some
are sowing grain.
The year’s operations wlU prove any
thing bat satlefaotory to a majority of
the farmers throughout this part of Ma
rlon and Sobley counties. From a care
ful estimate of the crops of some of the
best farmers we know, we find, taking
them as sn average, that the cotton crop
baa fallen short of last year two-fifthe;
but be neither confirmed' or denied the
truth of the rumors, thereby strengthen
ing the belief that the rumors are true.
It is splendid nows for Amerious and
means renewed growth and bounding
prosperity. It will qntoken the onrrent
In every artery of commerce and insure
suocess to every Industry and Invite new
enterprises, multiplying their prospects
of a thrifty business. In speaking of the
rumors a speolal from. Savannah says:
“The news that the Savannah, Ameri
cus A Montgomery had, or Is arranging
to combine with the Louisville A Nash
ville system, oreatod mnoh talk In Sa
vannah to-day. The Louisville A Nash
ville has long been quietly seeking an
outlet on the Atlantic coast, and it has
been well-known that the deep water
agitators here had attracted and held
the attention of. the Louisville A Nash
ville people. At Montgomery, the Louis
ville & Nashville, through Its own lines,
has splendid connections, and that point
Is one of the terminals of the Savannah,
Amerlons A Montgomery. By building
about sixty miles of road the latter line
will reach Savannah over an indepen
dent route, and noting in concert with
the Louisville A Nashville would give tbo
great system entrance to Savannah and
afford It one of the finest ports in
the country. The row between the
the Savannah, Amerlons A Montgomery
and the Richmond A Danville, the desire
for a port by the Lonlsvllle A Nashville,
and the easy manner in wbleb It can be
obtained through an arrangement be
tween these roads, gives color to the
news of n probable combination. If the
combination Is made and the Savannah,
Amerious A Montgomery builds Into
Savannah, it will be able not only to
offer the shortest route to Montgomery,
bnt aleo a dlreot route to many promi
nent Southern and Western points, giv
ing Savannah the advantage of strong
competition to many places. This will
relieve the city to a great extent of Its
dependence upon the present systems
entering here, and cannot fall to be ben
eficial In a bnslness way. Business men
are well pleased with the prospects that
the reports indicate.”

Mr. B. H. Slappey, who rssldea about
eight miles from Americus, tells a pa
thetic story of the utter destitution of
the negroes residing In that vicinity. He
says: “They are in suoh reduced circum
stances that they are forced to hnnt rab
bits to keep the wolf from their door.
This state of affairs Is the result of the
low price of cotton and farm products,
and the fact that every thing was swal
lowed up to pay their debts. They have
a dreary winter ahead unless they find
relief."

Bcsnlto In Batts' Death—Shot Five Times
-In Hat Pursuit With an Open Knife.
Buena Vista, Gs., November 21.—
[Speolal ]—A. B. Jackson, marshal, shot
and Instantly killed R. E. Butt this after
noon at 2 o'olock.
Butt was standing In front of Hair A
Crawford’s store when Jackson os ne up
the street.
Bntt ran qnlckly Into a batcher shop
or the other surrounding preclnots.
These sales though, are being kept up
by the tenant and renter, but they have
continued till this olass are almost desti
tute, being without anything to eat, and
bnt few jobs being offered by which they
can earn a support.
Everywhere the creditor Is pressing
bis claim. Everybody seems to have lost
confidence In everybody else. This lack
of confidence, unless re-established,
promises for the ensuing year to be qnlto
detrimental to the farming Interest. Ev
ery muscle and fiber of the financial
system Is strained to its utmost tension,
and no mistake. ' ~
Bnt It Is feared the worst is yst
ahead. Hundreds of farmers have their
lands under mortgages to the loan agen
cies, and many of these will be maturing
daring the next twelve months; and, as
these agencies believe the opposition
their business met in the last legislature
are the feelings of the people, and fear
legislation by the next general assembly
that will make it Impossible to do busi
ness in the state, has made several of
these companies decide to make no fur
ther loans and to elose oat their bnslness
as fast as the mortgages mature. The
effect of these decisions have already
been felt, and if the loans are not ex
tended, the next two years will throw
many farmers without homes.
Bnt the lien on polltios has not been
foreoloeed. People find time and some
times consider It a recreation to talk
politics. The third party advocates
who used to run for office on the demo
cratic tioket, and some of them ran in
the laat elections, and are still wanting
ofiloe, when the sensation first oame
about gave the war whoop, rushed to
the platform and cried down with dem
ocracy—well we guess they’ve “gone
west” looking for an opening for an
office.
But there enough left, every one of
whom (?) are democrats, to discuss, and
some times to “ouss” and “recuss” sub-
treasury, Ocala platform, our enemies,
etc. Some times a fellow gets enthusi
astic on subjects of minor importanoe,
like the tariff or the speakership, bnt be
is generally eclipsed by some free sliver
advocate. Of coarse, all this talk Is ex
pected to develop something, and op
here it has developed some ot the possi
bilities for the future. Already three
legislative possibilities, it Is affirmed, are
peeping from behind the screen. One a
talented yunng farmer, another a far
mer of more mature years, while the
third 1* an old-timer In politics; and all

The origin of thp trouble waj last
Saturday night.’ Bntt went into a saloon
for a drink and being refuted attempted
to toko it whloh brought on trouble with
the bar tender.
The marshal was ealled in and Butt at
tempted to out him, but he was finally
placed In the lockup.
Butt remarked to the marshal that hit
days were numbered, and more trouble
was anticipated, which culminated to
day In a tragedy.
The affair It deeply deplored, as Butt
was afflicted and Jackson is a clever and
quiet citizen.
Jaokson acted entirely In self defense,

gather. Jaokson was placed nnder ar
