A Lively Chiue. On Sunday morning last, Mr. Zac Goss' hounds commenced trailing a wild cat. Mr. Goss left them alone, and at the usual hour went to church with his family several miles distant- He return ed home late in the evening, and learned that the dogs wero still on the trail of the cat, when be decided to go and bring them home. He succeeded in finding them about 0 o'clock, howling with joy and almost exhausted, as they had been on a hot trail for more than ten hours, and just before Mr. Gobs 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 torn up by the dogs. Mr. Goss lives on the Kinccefoonce creek in Terrell county, and is acknowl edged as one of the best liunters in Southwest Georgia, and Hs dogs have the reputation of never losing “the trail” when once fairly on it. Whit la Good Baking Powder? It is a well-known fact that carbonate of ammonia is used by bakers in the proparatlon of the finest anti most wholesome bread and cake, and has been from time immemorial. It is among the oldest and at the same time most healthful constituents of baking powders. It is all evolved in gas by the heat of the oven, and leaves no trace of itself in the food, and it is this that gives it its great value as a leavening agent in the opinions of the physicians. —Xew York Journal. Mrs. Pickett’s Death, The death of Mrs. Elizabeth V, Pickett at her home in Americus yester day was not all unexpected, since she was a venerable age and in feeble health for some time. Mrs. Pickett was widely connected, and was a useful member of the community. Her piety was sincere and unassuming, and the fruits of her charity will be the noblest monument that can be erected to her memory. The Tuies-Recordeh tenders Its sympathies to the bereaved family, ren indlng them that He who “tempers the wind to tbo shorn Iamb" will not be forgetful of them in this, their hour of bereavement. “A11 tish they get that cometb to r.et,” says Thus Tusser. He must have meant the undertakers, who would bury you any time with alacrity. Rut you don’t want to be caught In their net, just yet I'll bet; so cure your cough with Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. A BLOODY TRAGEDY. POWDER AND LEAD ARE USED WITH TERRIBLE EFFECT In Marlon County-Two Brother ln-l.aw« Pall Out About a Road and the IteadlT Pistol Plays an Important itolo In An other Sad Tragedy. A bloody tragedy was enacted in Ma rion county yesterday afternoon that shocked the whole community. Very meager details were available at a late hour last night, and many material points connected with the affair are veiled. It seems that Messrs. Upton, father and son, and Elder Upon and the Messrs. Storey, one of them a brother-in-law to a Mr. Upton, had some words about the lino a road was to take. Matters culminrted in both parties drawing their pistols and opening up a deadly fusilade. One of the Storeys was shot and kill ed outright and the other was fatally wounded- Tbe spectacle was an awful one; one man lying dead on the ground and the other in the very throes of death, while the Tptons stood with smoking revolvers in hand. The scene of the killing is near Buena Visja, in Marion county. All the parties concerned with this deplorable affair arc highly respectable and stand well in the neighborhood where they live. The coroner's jury left Buena Vista yesterday to sit over the dead body of Storey, and they may be compelled to ascertain the facts about the death of both, since the wounded man is not ex pected to live. Whwt Is Home Without Music'.' Your home may bo richly furnished and adorned, but it is not complete without a piano or organ. Xotbing else so beautifies and make home so harmon ious and delightful.
