THE SKY-SCHAPER
SPECIAL SCHEDULE.
Wl I Coma Again With HI* Balloon OutUt-
There is a concerted move among the
merchants to offer Prof. Odell, the
aeronaut, Inducements enough to revisit
Americas with hit balloon and make
another ascension.
Ulss Leona captivated the crowd; her
nerve and self-possession winning many
pretty compliments for her from the as
sembled spectators, who admired the
undisturbed way in which she soared
away on her perilous journey.
It is certain that the Professor will
come again and that Uiss Leona will
sail “ont of sight” in the talons of her
canvas bird.
The merchants appreciate the benefits
that would accrue to them from the im
mense crowds who would come from the
four points of the compass to witness
the ascension.
Prof. Odell, Uiss Leona and Gipsey
will soon be passengers on the train from
Richland to Amerieus, and they will
come with theassnranoe that their trou
ble and expense will be abundantly re
warded. i
We have placed with us for tale a
Cbiokering upright piano, good as new,
that can be bought for just half price.
Call early as it must be sold at once. -

On Sunday morning last, Ur. Zac
Goss’ hounds commenced trailing a wild
eat. Ur. Goss’ left them alone, and at
the usual hour went to ehorch with his
family several miles distant He return
ed home late In the evening, and learned
that the dogs were (till on the trail of
ths cat, when he deolded to go and bring
them home. He succeeded in finding
them about 0 o'clock, bowling with joy
and almost exhausted, as they had been
on a hot trail for more than ten hours,
and just before Ur. Goes arrived they
had captured and killed the varmint. It
is one af the largest wild cats ever seen,
as it weighed twenty pounds after hav
ing been tom up by the dogs.
Ur. Goes lives on the Klnoeefoonee
creek in Terrell county, and la acknowl
edged ae one of the beat hunters in
Southwest Georgia, and Its dogs have
the reputation of never losing “the
trail” when once fairly on it.
