Many of our people have been given gratis chats with their friends at Madi¬ son, Atlanta and elsewhere through the 'phone at the con¬ struction company's camps near town. It will be a great conven¬ ience to our people if the charges for messages are not too high. A DOL’BLE TURKEY. Mr. E. O. Evans tells us of a peculiar freak in the fowl line at his house. He had some turkey eggs setting and by some mis¬ hap one of the eggs got broken. The turkey (or turkeys) contain¬ ed in the egg were nearly ready to hatch out. The ecg contain¬ ed two fine ones and “it" had two bodies four wings and four legs with but one head. It was really a curiosity and had it hatched and lived it would have been valuable as a show. A negress at Norcross bought a patent remedy to turn her skin white and after she put it on, the skin turned red spotted and the burning was so great that it almost run her crazy. The phy¬ sician who she called in says if she does n<^t die she will be dis¬ figured for life. Gov. Atkinson announces that he will run for Congress in the 4th Dist. { —Dr. J. J.
