We spent the past two weeks in the
saw mill business, hauling our own stock
and renting the mill. While sawing a
fine stock that looked to be perfectly
sound, in slabingor straightening the log
three or four inches deep, after the log
passed the saw a well-known red beaded
wood pecker flew out and made for a
peach tree near by and presented hie bill
to a peach in good earnest We have
often heard of frogs, snakes, cannon balls
etc., being found hut never before heard
of a wood pecker. From appearances he
bad been in there for at least ten years.
How did he live?
Mr. Taylor Dennard tells ns the follow
ing fish stories: Ho has a fish pond. He
and his neighbor Mr. Crymea went down
one day last week for a fish. While Mr.
D. was fishing a blue crane came flopping
along just as he got a bite, got tanglod
np in bis line, carrying off lino, polo aud
a fino trout that would weigh five or six
pounds, The crane loft for parts nn-
known. Mr C. was umusing himself by
feeding the fish on bread crumbs. Mr.
D. told him they would eat from his hand
if he would bold it still. Ho tried it with
success. He then told Mr. I), to mako a
fish hook of his finger and son if they
would bilo that. No ho crookod it up
and stuck it in the water and to his sur
prise a very largo catfish, supposed to
weigh at least thirty pounds* fobk n bite,
pulling Mr. C. heels over head in the
water. He succeeded in getting loose
but found bis finger .badly skinned and
bruised up. Says he will fish hereafter
with a hook.

George Jones.
(juite a bii/.z of enthusiasm has been
gotten up here in regard to the reunion
of the surviving members of the 5th
Georgia at Macon on the 21st and 22nd
of nrxt August. That captured Hag of
the regimeut now in the hands of the
gallant Capt. Young, formerly of the
Federal army, lias quite a history. When
Capt. # Young restores it to the regiment
' we will give him a “yell" of delight, and
ki*t him too if he will let ns. Five men
fell under the folds of thnt Hag, and one
of thorn. Tip Hnrnes, of the Sobley
Guards, fell wounded, gallantly carrying
it to the front. Wo know something
about it, for wo were there.
The death of Rev. J. M. Potter is a
source of tuuoh heart-pain to all of us
here. His home was nt Rronwood, but a
portion of his ministerial work was in
Randolph county where ho died recently
••in harness.” He was n most laborious
nnd pains-taking preacher, and tho
Methodist, church will sadly feel tho loss
t' him.
Prof. Adams and his friend Mr. F. A.
Ruggles of Michigan have retained from
their trip to Florida, and arc enthusiastic
iu regard to thnt Slate, but both of them
will put down their stakes here, as they
like “old Georgia" best. We nro glad to
Welcome Mr. Ruggles to a , homo among
us and piomise him unselfish Southern
hospitality. We nil wish for on immigra
tion of Western men by the legion to help
us bring out the riches of this section.
An i flbrt is being made to raise a mili
tary company hero which bids fair to be
u success. Some of onr best youog men
Lavo enrolled their names as members
and we hope soon to see oar boy* keeping
step to the music of the dram, then your
battalion can have added to it another
company. Col. C. II. Wooten to com
mand yonr battalion will be tho right
man in the right place, and'we feel inter
ested in everything connected with this
gentleman, as he was long a foremost citi
zen of this place, and was Captain of the
Dawson Volunteers when it went to tho
seat of war as a part or the 5tb Ga. Regi
meut.
Much ta<te is displayed here in the cul
tivation of dower gardens, and many of
the pretty residences in this city are
beautified by tho growth of flowers! In
one of the yards is a rosebush containing
“green roses," a very rnro flower.

more for our cotton than you pay nnd her horns. In an instant the snake
sprang on to the cow’H head and
rapidly coiled iisclfahout her horns
The cow aloud dared lor an instant

ally kneeling to ml) her head
against tho ground, hut she was un
able to rid herself of her enemy,
She again sought the sagebrush
nnd tried to brush the incubus off,
hut the snake only coiled itself the
tighter and refused to bo dislodged.
The caw seemed finally to realize
that all her efforts were useless
and, uttering a terrible bellow, set
off at full gallop. The hands made
an effort to follow her and turn her
hack, but in her frantic flight she
outstripped tbe horses, snd, when
cornered, would charge everything
in sight. Occasionally the snake
would untwist itself and its head
would play before the cow's
eyes. On these occasions the poor
animal would bellow with terror
and sometimes go fifty yards back
wards to escape. *
For three hours she ran wildly
about the fields, with tho foam and
blood flying from her lips and
sweat streaming from her sides.
Tho rest of the hired help tried to
throw a Insso over her horns, but
could not get near enough, and
finally tho poor brute.dropped from
sheer exhaustion and panted out

Willfe frlHcill'i Martin,ofSorogg’s
Neck, was dusting tho book-ease
lust summer, a snake brought in a
mouthful of daises ami set them in
a glass of water that was standing
on the window sill. It afterwards
made friends with tho family and
did various curious things about
the place. It returns every sum
mer, and is always welcome. It
goes down the well and fastens the
bucket on whatever oil me rope,
and it hangs from a beam by its
tail and bolds the leather bag that
the young mnn of the house pounds
back and forwards with his knuck
les. Last week, when they were
making a lot ofico cream lor a
Sunday school picnic, the snake
beat the eggs with its tall, and did
it better anil olioul fifty times faster
than it could have been done in

movements, the old mnn began to
jump around. When ho had done
he did not wait to be asked to speak
but advanced to the footlight. “I
came from London three days ago.
I never saw the young lady until
this afternoon. Three wcoks ago
I saw in London un account of this
wonderful young girl, and I came
to tier. I want to talk an hour.’’
The crowd set up a yell of ex
postulation. The old man, notbiug
daunted, began to talk about spir
itualism, but some one cried out,
“He’s a dynamiter,” and be waa
conducted away by a stalwart man.
The would-ho orator said bis name
was Dr. Wells.
A strapping big fellow came on
the stage and the crowd applauded,
lie threw two kisses lo the audi
ence and kicked out one leg play
fully behind. The crowd thought
it was going to have some fun with
him. lie stepped up to tbo foot
lights and said. “It’s nothing but
physical strength. There Is nothing
supernatural about it. She is sim
ply a very strong girl."
Father II urat ted himself to the
front by his brown beard, and then,
seizing bis coat tail with one band
and getting a grip ou the air with
the other, said: “We don’t claim
it to be supernatural; It is natural
force."
“Who arc you?” yelled half a
dozen, although Father Hurst had
been introduced. A man who had
been indulging add who was called
“weary.” came up, and taking bold
of a chair, smiled dreamily on
Lula. “His eyes are set,’’exclaim
ed a voice.
“Keep your glare on him, Lula,”
said another.
Ha’s a married man, Lula,”said
a third, as the chair danced around
Ilia shirt front. “Don’t muss his
cravat.”
“S|>cech,” yelled everybody, as
the man started to go.
“The gentleman,” said Paul,
“will defer bis remarks on account
of—”
Madeline Price, who is 14 years
old, weighs 'JO pounds, and is quite

A Lynching al Blakely.
Albany, Qa., July 26.—Ycater-
day afternoon two hundred men
broke into tbe Blakely jail, took
out Aaron Coachman, the negro
rapist, carried him to a brick yard
two hundred yarde from the cou-t
bouse; nnd after emasculating him
he waa hanged and Ilia body.rid
dled with hullete. He confessed
to various crimes.
Lula Hurst’s Many Dresses.
Two thousand dollars worth of
dresses, says tbe New York Times
ol July 20, were made for Lula
Hurst before tbe began to show
her "natural force’ at Waltack’a
Theatre. She lies worn a different
dress every night. She will be
seen no inure nt Wallack’s. She
goes to Boston, and New Yorkers,
unless they go to the Hub, cannot
sec the completion of tier display
of dresses. She was attired in
snowy white last night, when she
made her dual appearance. Her
Georgia chuckle was unimpaired
and l’uul Atkinson, who docs tbe
talking for bur, smiled os mechani
cally as ever. The audience waa
of good size and tbe man at the
piano did not play any worse then
usual. An old man, who looked
as wise as an owl and from whose
face two long streaks ot Iron grey
beard extended and met at a rag
ged point half a yard below the
chin, gripped tbe cane. Lula, by
judicious exercise of her strength,
nearly jerked him onto bis bead.
The crowd eried, “Speech," and he
said:
“1 have made twenty balloon as
censions, and have practiced mea-
merism for thirty years. I’ve got
will as well as physical power.
This young lady possesses some
