T A Collins SUaviUe G«. Columbus was selected, last week, by the State Bar Association as the place for their next anuat meeting. Lightning struck the steeple of the Episcopal church in Sylvania last week, hut did not seriously damage the butld ing. The Grand jury failed to find a true bill against Mr. John Winsor of the People’s National Bank of Amerieus on the charge of passing counterfeit money. Radishes fifteen inches in circumfer ence were sent to the editor of the Syl vania Telephone'last week by Mr. Law rence Mitchel of Serivcn county. The melon growers of Georgia meet to morrow in Macon to exchange ideas and devise plans for systematically disposing of the crop without overstocking any market. A terrible hailstorm, we are informed, visited Cobh station on the S. A. M. R. R., in Sumter connty, a few days ago. Crops, our informant says, are consider ably damaged. Only two Georgian* appear in the pat ent office reports of last week, both of them of Atlanta. O. E. Hennies got a phtent on a lock and R. H. Richards, on a clamp collar. G. W. Scott, of Decatur, has endowed the Presbyterian school in Decatur with forty thousand dollars, the only condi tion being that it be called the Agnes Scott Institute in honor of his mother. Horace M. Ellington Esq. has bought the Ellijay Courier outfit good will and all, and came out last week in a ringing solutatory. W’e are glad to replace the Courier on our exchange list and wish it continued success. Marion county Patriot:—The prospect is that a stock company with 50,000 cap ital will put a brick yard near Kincha fooneeonthe Savann h and Western railroad. Experts say that the clay there is fine, and that it will not only make good brick hut terra cotta piping. Ellijay Courier:—The recent cooj mornings accompanied by slight frosts ; have been somewhat alarming to those who have early vegetables. So far as we have heard however, no material damage has been done to the garden truck, and we yet look pleasantly for ward to the early advent of English peas and snap beans. The companies composing the Geo:gia regiment in the Mexican war were the Columbus Guards, Crawford Gaurds, Georgia Light Infantry, Cusseta Volun teers, Richmond Blues, Macon Guards Pioneer Avengers, Kentusaw Rifles, Sumter Volunteers, and Jasper Greens. The regiment numbered b’Sil men, and was commanded by Col. Henry R. Jack son of Savannah. Old Pluto must be starting up a little branch hades near Brunswick. It issaid that the city authorities while digging a well in that city a few days ago struck water at seven or eight feet deep, which was so hot as to cause the diggers to leave the well. No cause can l>e found f,,r the water’s lieing *o hot. unless that torrid region the preachers tell about is located somewhere in that vicinity. Montezuma Record.—Wade a young man about seventeen years ot age. died at his home about six miles fixyn town Thursday. About, a week ag: he was ploughing along in the Held when the plow struck a root which threw the handles hack into his side. He lingered between life and death until Thursday morning when death put a stop to liis sufferings. A special from Vienna says:-On Satur day night masked robbers entered the house of Judge Koines. While ransack ing the house they rpuscl the judge and his young nttioe. The robbers hacked the Judge to death wi h hatchets before the eyes of his nelce, who became insane through that and subsequent outrage. The thieves got aliout thirty thousand dollars worth of goods. . Vol. 1. No. 4T. Prirc One Dollar a Yi.ar Amerieus Times.—During the thumler storm Sunday afternoon, lightning struck the residence of Mr. J. A. S. Perry near Amerieus. The deadly fluid enter ed the house at a window, smashing the sash into splinters and tearing up a mantle in the room. A solid gold watch that was lying upon the mantel was melted into a shapeless mass and knock ed upon the floor, yet remarkable to re late the works were uninjured and the •vatch still runs, though the eases and chain are almost unrecognizable. A pis to I and a Waterlmrv watch were also knocked off and made so hot that they could not be touched for some little time. A piece of iron from somewhere was driven with great force into the wood work of the mantel, where it still re mains. It is needless to add that the Waterbary watch was uninjured and is pegging away as good as ever, Mr. Perry's family were in another part of the house and escaped with only a slight shock. Montezuma Record:—We hear that a farmer named Rider of thin county near the line of Sumt r went to the cradle where his little two-year old child was sleeping. Saturday morning, to kiss it before he went to the field to work, and finding it lying on its face, picked it up and found the child dead. The pierc ing shrieks of the bereaved mother were heart rending. It is supposed that the child turned on its face and suffocated. The Veterinary surgeon of Atlanta, Dr J. M. Cook, reports that there lias been several thousand dollar’s worth of stock destroyed in Southwest Georgia during the year by glanders and that he is expecting to hear of men having the same disease, as it is contagious ami would prove as fatal to men as to horse*. ‘•The legislature,” says the doctor, ‘‘should appropriate a fund to pay the owners of stock supposed to have glan ders, for it is imperatively necessary t<> destroy all stock showing signs of the disease in order to prevent it from spread ing.” Last Sunday being hot, Messrs. W. C. Gray and S. R. Sims, walked into the . cold storage room of the Amerieus Ice Factory to cool off. Unintentionally they sprung the door latch and for two solid hours they yelled for help while the blood in their veins felt as if it would turn to ice. Finally someone passing by heard their yells and came to their res cue. It will probably be a hot old day in January when Gray and Sims resort to another cold storage room, iv.tli a spr n ' latch, to cool off. Regarding the hail storm that passed over the the Eastern portion of Sumter county, Sunday P. M. the Times says; ■‘The stalks of corn, much of it waist high, were literally stripped of its blade* from top to bottom, leaving nothing but the bare stalks, Cotton was beaten into the soft earth and almost ruined, the opinion being general that it < an not survive. Oats that soon would have been ready to harvest were blown down and threshed upon the ground by the hail. Efforts are being made to renew the working of a gold mine in Monroe eoau ty, which has been idle for several years for lack of capita 1 . It is said that many years ago a man named Willis uutde #15, 000 by washing the top dirt on the hill side. Soon after a man named Brewer, made $‘35,000 in the same way with thu help of a few hands. All kinds of pro ciou8 8tonert have been found m Lne lnln ^ Si HUc |i a8 rubies, emeralds and , nan y others, Amerieus Recorder,—On Friday after noon Sheriff McMicliae! of Golumbus, ar rested Mr. A. W . Cottle, the overzeer ou Mr. Phil Jackson’s plantation near Cho kee, Lee county, on the charge of selling mortgaged property. Mr. Cottle is a young man who formerly resided in Amerieus. He was taken to Columbus for trial. He had nothing to say regard ing the difficulty, slating that his attor ney had advised him to remain silent. The Methodist Conference at St. Louia j is still wrestling with the questions of intemperance and worldly amusements.
