Frank Swaim was convicted of the murder of Rev G. H. Lance at the Blairsvill superior court last week. Mrs. Ann Bonner, age one hundred and eight years, died at the home of Mr. P. Z. Hill, in Taylor county, on the 9th. inst. Tom Porter, colored, of SmithviJle has been sentenced to serve twelve years as a convict because he burned a neighbor’s corn crib. The Topaz Cinchona Cordial company, a patent medicine concern of Atlanta went dead. Its name was more than it could bear. The directors.of the Marion county Alliance Loan and Stock Association are advertising for bids to build a brick warehouse and store room. Luther H. Hall the Eastman lawyer who has been serving a five months sen tence in the Savannah jail for contempt of court is out on bond. Buena Vista m addition to two build ing und loan associations has organized an improvement company and elected Mr. C. H. McCa l, president. It will not be long un ; il shad will be plentiful in Flint river if the Million young shad recently placed in that stream multiply and replenish as rapidly as fish usually do. ^ , The Chattahoochee Valley Exposition is the absorbing topic in Columbus; from the arrangements being made we may expect a grand affair of it. Colum bus doesn’t do things by halves. An enterprising news-butcher on the East Tenne.-see road was artested in At anta Sunday, for clipping large figures from Confederate bills and pasting them on smaller green back bills and passing them for good currency. The State Democratic Nominating Convention will be held in Atlanta, Aug. 7th. Ea« h county will be entitled to twice the number of votes in the conven tion, it has in the house of representa tives. The Executive committee rec commend the selects n of delegates by primaries. Just imagine the feelings of the editor of the Eastman Tinn s-Journal after writing in a pathetic obituary, “mortali ty has put on immortality,” and then iseovered, after the paper had been printed and mailed, that his blundering printer had put it “morality has put on immorality.” Winnie Davis and her husband were run over by % rrtilroad tram, near Albany last Saturday and crushed to death. All the pieces tlu^ pould be found of Winnie were picked Up $hd put into a soap box, and it was not *,ear full. This was not “The Daughter of the Confederacy,’’ buj Winnie Davis, colored. Mr. Andy Stewart the tax collector of Fulton county was born with his heart the right side and it stiil beats there instead of tire left. Life Insurance com panies, refuse to insure him on that ac hut he got insurance in several mutual benefit companies and is still and kicking. At Washington, in Wilkes county, near a very old church called Sharon, a grand poplar under whose branches, about 100 years ago was organized the find presbytery of the State of Georgia. It was known as Hopewell presbytery. Partial arrange ments have been made for celebrating this notable event at no very distant Buena Vista Patriot.—Thocitv council passed a dog law Tuesday. Dogs caught on the street after the first of June with out muzzles will be impounded by the marshal, and if the owner does not call and pay one dollar for his property the dog will be taken out and shot. This is a good law and should be rigidly enforc ed. The lives of innocent parties should not be jeopardized by worthless, rabid curs. T«l. 1 . 1 »«. 4 » Fries Oa« Dollar a Year THE JESIJP TRAGEDY. On Thurday night of last week T. P. Littlefield proprietor of theJesup House, atJesup,got up to prepare tea and and lunch for a night train, leaving his wife in bed. On returning he found J. G. McCall, one of his lodgers, trying to get into his room. Having been slightly warned that there was something wrong in his household, Littlefield secreted himself until McCall got in. Then arm ing himself with a revolver ho quietly entered his room, found McCall and Mrs, Littiefleld occupying the sair. * bed and opened fire upon them. Mrs. Littlefield was shot through the heart and died in stantly, McCall recieved four shots, but lived two hours. The outraged husband with hands reeking with the blood of his wife and her paramour, gave himself up to the officers. The coroners inquest rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide in the killing of McCall and a verdict of murder, in the killing of the unfaithful wife. T. P. Littlefield, the chief actor in this sensational tragedy, is a man of about 55 years of age, a native New Hampshire. He came to Georgia several years before the war and engaged in-the lumber and timher business, and was for many years a successful business man. He served in~the Confederate army dur ing the late war, Mrs! Littlefield was about 51 years of age, a native of Augus ta, Ga. She had no children. J. G. M ’Ca l was county surveyor of Wayne county. He was. a bout 50 j'?ars of age and leaves a wife and sevep children, 1 several of whom are grown, and om, a daughter, is married and has several small children. A WONDERFUL EGG The Marion county Patriot is respon sible for the following wonderful egg story. “Sterling Jenkins has the greatest cu riosity in the way of an egg we have ever seen. The egg was found in the boxing in Captain Wilson s kitchen, completely covered with soot and dust, and there is no telling how long it has been there— perhaps since Mr. Maddux built the house over 40 years ago. The shell of the egg is perfect, with no flat side, and it is ns iight as if the contents had been blown out, but when placed on a table in any position it will quickly turn to one side a* though it had a couple of ounces of lead on that side, though the weight of the egg is not sufficient to cause this. It will not roll off of aboard that is wide enough for it to turn around, and it will spin like a top by touching it with a pin perpendicularly when it is lying on a ta ble. To iIt the egg up from a table it feels at first heavier than a f resh egg, and produces a pulling sensation like taking a piece of steel from a magnet, hut when It is lifted a foot above the table there appears to be nothing but an empty shell which shows it has a magnet ic attraction Another peculiarity with the egg is in the fact that if you hold it in one hand and a piece of metal in the other a ting ling, sensation willbe produce in the arms like that caus< d by a light shock from an electric battery. We are not prepar ed to say why this is thus, yet we can say witout fear of being contradicted that there is something remarkably pe culiar about that egg. Candidates for Congressional boners are bobbing up thick and fast in the Ninth district. The following are al ready in the field and others to hear from: Col. S. A. Darnell, United States district attorney, a straight out republi can; Rev. Thad Pickett, an independent republican; Mr. T. J. Wynn, a democrat ic farmer, and Judge Jim Brown, a dem ocrat and a brother to Senator Joseph E. Brown# Col. Darnell thinks two demo crats will split the democratic vote and he is urging all republicans to vote a straight democratic tick© rather than vote for an independent republican. In this way he hopes to defeat Rev, Thad Pickett. Atlanta seems to l>e producing all the inventors of late. Last week all the Georgia inventors hailed from that city and this week It is the same. Patents were issued, the past week, to J. F. I uss for a spoke-socket for vehicle wheels; M. Hathaway, oil-burner and A. A. Wood, spring-motor.
