Interesting Notes Gathered From Here
and There Over the State.
Wilcox county is the first to have a

Nebo is the name that Mr. W. 11. Bush
has given the new town he is going to
build up for the colored people about a
half mile from Jug Tavern. There could
not have been a better place selected for
this purpose. The land is all well
drained, and to take it all in all, is the
very place for the colored people to build
them up a nice little town if they will
take the advantage of it.

The DcKalb County Agricultural Club
at its last meeting unanimously adopted
the following resolution: Whereas, The
cost of the production of any article is an
important factor in determining the profit
in it to the producer and is worthy of
mature consideration. Therefore,
Resolved, That we earnestly request
Hon. U. T. Nesbitt, commissioner of ag
riculture, to prosecute inquiries on the
subject of the cost of the production of
cotton, corn and small grain, aDd give us
the result of those inquiries in his month
ly reports.
The bankers of Atlanta are likely to
take the initiative step in an organized
movement for the passage of the bill re
pealing the ten per cent, tax on itate
banks. This is a practical measure, one
upon which all classes are pretty nearly
united, and upon which the best business
judgment of the country is rapidly crys
talizing. The silver coinage qir stion is
postponed for international considera
tion. After a strong, honest iffort, the
friends of free coinage fell a few votes
short of success, and arc now patiently
nwaiting the result of negotiation with
the leading nations of Europe.

There is going to be a very charming
commencement at the Technological
school at Atlanta this summer, and it is
not very far distant in the future. The
annual commencement nddress will be
delivered by Hon. William 11. Fleming,
of Augusta, if he recovers from the ef
fects of his recent accident sufficiently to
speak. If not, Dr. Boggs, from the
State university, who is booked to he
preseut and make an address before the
college boys aud the audience, will take
take his place. I)r. Hopkins will also
make his annual address to his pupils.
It is going to be an especially interesting
commencement as regards tho boys and
their work for the year. Their exhibits
will l>e displayed to advantage, and their
theses and speeches will all be entertain
ing.

The people Georgia will be gratified to
learn that General Guidon’s health has
been sufficiently restored to enablo him
to return to his seat in tho United States
senate. lie has had a long and tedious
attack which, at one time, threatened
the most serious consequences, indeed,so
serious ns to ularm his family and physi
cians. This session of congress has been
noted for sudden deaths among the rep
resentatives Hud congressmen, ami Gen
eral Gordon’s friends feared, at one time,
that his attack might prove fatal. His
physicians, however, urged him to leave
Washington, and not to return until he
was fully restored. His threatening sym
tomshave all disappeared, and, although
he has not recovered the full measure of
his strength, yet ho feels well enough to
return to Washington.

The Ryan case which has been pending
before the Atlanta courts so long is set
tied so far as the fight between the sc
cured nnd unsecured creditors of Stephen
A. Ryan are concerned. Tho settlement
is a compromise. Judge Marshall Clark
signed an order of court carrying out the
provisions of the agreement. The agree
ment is as follows: John Ryan and John
F. Ryan, holders of mortgages on the
jirojierty of Stephen A. Ryan, take
half the money iu the hands of tho re
ceiver and obligate themselves to pay the
amounts due the Atlanta hanks by Ste
phen A. Ryan. They also agree to pay
the mortgage of Eugene Kelly, of New
York. Tho unsecured creditors agree to
take the other half of tho money in the
hands of the receiver, nnd also agree that
the title to the real estate held by John
F. Ryan, which has been contested by
the creditors, shall l>e confirmed in John
F. Rvan. A decree of court so confirms
the title in Mr. Ryan.

The Melon Trnlllc.
The melon crop is being moved at a
right lively rate by the railroads, and the
season is well open. South Georgia is
doing all the shipping. Coming at this
time, the crop provides the lines with
traffic' for which they are grateful.
There is no doubt that the crop will ben
short one. All over tho melon section
the crop is suffering for rain. The acre
age is considerably lower this year than
last, and now ttie drought has cut down
the yield until experts have come to the
conclusion that there will not be more
than half a crop. The melons
are small on account of the long
dey spell, but the prices are goc’.
The buyers are paying from SIOO to SIOO
a carload on the sidetrack at the ship
ping point, an l tho planters will make
money this year. Of the melons grown
between Albany and Vahb sta, 75 per
percent go west, and 25 per cent cast
and i e.rth. Most of the melons cast of
Valdosta go cast and north. The two

Good for the >l. and N. G.
According to a New York dispatch a
r>!nn has been finally arranged for the re
organization of the Marietta aud North
Georgia liailro»d Company, which bids
fair to go through successfully, and put
the property on its feet. The agreement
has been signed by the five members of
the committee, who have promised to un
derwrite enough of the new 5 per cent
first-mortgage bonds to accomplish all
jhat is proposed. The committee of five
s compose lof Mr. Post, of Post, Mar
tin & Co., banker*, of New Y* rk; E. E.
Dennistoo, of E. W. Claik & Co., of
Philadelphia; Walter Stantou, Thomas
Carmichael and Norman Erb, the two
last named being Engli-h capitalists,who
represt nt the foreign bondholders. Out
of the $11,820,000 consolidated bondhold
ers, about three million dollars is
represented in »he agreement for
the plan of reorganization, nud they
have been depositing their bonds with
the Atlantic Trust company, of New
York. It is known that, thus far, there
have been deposited under this arrange
ment 8-50,000 from Philadelphia, about
thirty five thi usind dollars from Geor
gia and $1,400,000 from England. It is
confidently 'xpicted that the bonds held
in New York, Baltimore, Charleston,
Augusta, Gn., and elsewhere, will come
in, ns there is practically no opposition.
It is hinted that Kessler & Co., of New
York, representing $150,000 in holdings,
may, for motives of their own, stay out,
but this is the exception, if there be any
thing in it. All the Savannah hanks and
most of the other holders there have
agreed to the scheme, and have forward
ed their bonds to the trust company.

Crop Krport.
The weather crop bulletin issued on
the 141 h says: Another favorable week
has advanced the crops rapidly. On the
whole the past week has probably been
the most satisfac'ory of the present sea
son. With a good degree of heat and
plenty of sunshine there have been abun
dant showers in most districts, except in
the southeast. In some few eases the
rain has been too heavy, washing the
ground; and some points, also, failed to
receive any rainfall. A general and slow
rain would probably be the most bene
ficial Iking that could now occur. As
it is, the crop outlook is reported as
above lhe average in the northern por
tion of the state, and in all sections far
mers ure hopeful. Tho condition of
cotton has continued to improve, and
the crop is now making rapid advance
ment. The plants are still small, and
their gmwlh is somewhat retarded by
cool nights, especially in the southwest
section. In tho northern part of the
state it seems fully up to the average for
this date. With the defie’ent rainfall
and the cool nights in the southwest lice
have again appeared to some extent.
Chopping is about at an end, and no
complaint is now made as to the stands
obtained. At some points the buds have
developed nnd a few blooms are out.
Corn is evciywhcre in excellent condi
tion, and growing rapidly. In general it
is small, hut of good color, and healthy.
Early fields arc in the tassel and silk. In
the eastern aud southern counties it is
being generally ‘‘layed by.” Except for
slight damage by hail at scattered point",
no complaint is made as to the condition
of iipl ml c rn. On the bottoms there
has been some washing, and cpnsequcnt
damage, from heavy showers. The
harvest of oats and wheat is nearly
completed. In northern districts the oat
crop turned out better than was antici
pated. More than an average wheat
crop is reported in the SHme section. The
acreage of wheat is small but the yield is
excellent. Rust is reported in a few
cases, hut there is no general complaint.
Peaches arc ripening, and the earliest arc
already coming to market. The crop will
be an abundant one. Occasional com
plaints are made of their rotting and
dropping on moist lands. The crop
of early apples are not so abundant, but
fall apples are plentiful. Pears will
bo Bhort. Small fruits are abundant—
blackberries unusually so. Melons stand
in need of rain to give them sizo. They
aro being shipped, hut are small.
With early ami abundant rain in the
melon districts, a fair crop would be
marketed. Without rain it will be
somewhat short. The past week has af
forded an excellent opportunity for set
ting out tobacco and potato plants, which
lias been industriously improved. Theso
crops are in good condition, although
late. More potatoes and peas are being
planted tliuii in former years. In many
cases peas are being planted after the
enrly oats. Cane and rice are in excel
lent condition in most rases, but in some
instances inland rice has been drowned
out for want of proper drainage. Truck
farms and gardens have greatly improved
in condition since the recent rains.
GEORGIA CROP FIGURES.
Astonishing Comparisons as Between
the Crops of 18(10 and 1802.
In an old leport of the comptrolU r gen
eral's office, Ims been found hii interesting
item in the list of ho stmt’s | reductions in
18(10. They will be especially inlcrestiog
when compared with the figures for the
past year. For example, take the follow
ing items of production in Georgia:
186). 1891.
Cotton, lin'cs (K1T,935 1,900,000
Wheat, bushels 3,608,71)2 2,373,000
Corn, bushels 30,313,819 37.8J9.01H!
Oats, bushels 1,215 027 7,238,000
To those who have looked on the ngri
culture of the present as totally inferior
to that of ante helium days, this compar
ison will be a revelation. Without the
evidence of the agricultural depar menl’s
official report no one would have believ
ed that the wheat crop of 1891 was very
nearly rqunl to that of 1800. All along
the Western and Atlantic railroad are
large stone depots now never full, hut
once filled with grain.
At Kingston in 1857 there wero thir
teen wheat buyers. It should bo remem
bered, howevi r, that the area of improv
ed land has increased, and there are now
three railroads where there was one in
1800. Consequently the wheat crop is
not so conspicuous as it was thirty
years ago. Tne cotton crop of 1800 was
measured by four hundred pound bales,
and that of 1891 by bales of 500 pounds.
Reducing all to five liundrcd-poun 1 bales
the comparison would be 558,348 against
1,300,000. The oat crop of 1800 seems
very small and it must have been a fail
ure, for that of 1850 was about 3,000,000
bushels.
An interesting comparison is the num
ber of farm animals:
1860. 1892.
Horses -..130,771 104,405
Mules 101,069 157,25".
Milch cows 299.688 354,58;i
Oxen 700,194 569,200
Sheep M 2,018 383,017
Swiue 2,036,116 1,691,27:
Georgia was woefully short in all these
things in the rep >rt of 1870, and had not
regained her position by 1880, lut the
above figures show ihst agricu'turc has
about regained the p out it le't in 1800,
so far as live stock is concerned, and has
far passed it in the general volume and
value of all products. lhe wool crop o(
1891 was, on the whole, much larger
than that of 1800, while the cotton crop
was more than double. The farm pro
ducts have incrcised in fully as great
pro|»ortio'> as the population.

Swoops Down with Fearful Fury Upon
the People of Minnesota.
Horens torn from tfikir foundations
AND SCORES OF I'BOPLE KILLED OUT
RIGHT— SCENES OF nORROIi.
A special dispatch from Mankato,
Minn., says: One of the worst disasters
that ever visited Southern Minnesota oc
curred between 0:30 and 6 o’clock Wed
nesday evening. Every report that comes
in is more serious than the preceding one.
At least forty or fifty lives are lost. The
extent of country swept is greater than
ever before known in the history of the
state. Starting near Jackson, on the
Southern Minnesota road, a funnel-shaped
cloud swept eastward and passed four
miles south of Minnesota lake; it then
took a broad circle to the south and pass
ed away south of Wells.
Considerable rain had fallen during the
afternoon and about 5 o’clock the atmos
phere became almost suffocating. Curl
ou«ly shaped clouds began gathering over
the southwest and many people gazed in
wonder at the sight. About 5:30 a wind
sprang up, and off to the west a circling
black cloud was seen rapidly advancing
and tearing asunder everything in its
course. It passed two miles northwest
of Sherbun and it is reported that it then
struck a district schoolhouse in which
was a teacher and eighteen pupils.
The building was demolished and the
teacher and fifteen pupils were killed.
At Easton three buildings were de
stroyed and several people were injured.
Lindon was visited and many Rouses
were torn from their foundations. One
family, composed of a man, his wife and
child, were killed and others were in
jured. A large group of trees were com
pletely uprooted. Tho storm passed on
eastward, destroying farmhouses, barns
am), in fact, everything in its path. At
Wells sidewalks were overturned, store
fronts Mown out and other damage done.
Four miles south of Minnesota I,ake
five farm houses and their outbuildings
were caught up in the storm and utterly
demolished. Four jieople were killed.
Much damage was done south of Wells,
nnd it is reported that forty or fifty wire
killed south and west of that village.
As most of the damage was dono in the
country reports are slow in coming in,
but what has been already heard i
enough to insure the belief that it wa
the worst storm ever reported in Soul I
Minnesota. It is expected that later r
ports will increase rather than dioiiui)
the extent of damage done as well as tl
loss of life and injuries. Many hea

A CYCLONE’S WORK.
Ail Illinois Town Almost Swept Out
of Existence.
A very destructive cyclone passed
thiough the northeastern part of Knox
county, 111., Monday, and ruin was left
along its path. It seems to have first
made its appearance northwest of Galva.
About 7:30 o’clock two black, threaten
ing clouds were nqticed in the west ap
proaching one another, and the tornado
is thought to have resulted from this
junction. Its course was south and east
through that city and the main body of
the storm passed along tho main business
streets of the city. It came with such
suddenness that the citizens had no time
in which to fly to places of safety.
Many buildings wire totally wrecked,
and that many people were not killed is a
miracle. The saddest feature occurred at
Augusta Olsen’s house. There were in
the house at the time Mr. and Mrs. Olsen,
Charles Olsen and four others. The resi
dence collapsed, killing Olsen instantly.
Tho others escaped by a miracle.
The place Tuesday was in a state of
demoralization. Business was completely
(impended, the streets being filled with
debris of every description. The stores
were more or less in ruius. Hardly a
residence but what will need repairs.
The damage is estimated at $300,000.
Considering tho number of buildings
wicckod it is surprising that there was
no greater loss of life. Mr. Olsen was
tho only one killed. Eleven persons were
badly hurt. Tho track of the storm was
three to four miles wide. West at Galra,
about a mile, stood a fine large farm
house before the Btorm, not a vestige of
which now remains.
A Washington dispatch says: Cyclonic
storms, similar to that which struck
Galva, 111., are reported from I’ooria,
Sandwich, Rockford nnd elsewhere in
Illinois, Boone, In., aud Hammond, Ind.
A great deal of damage was done to prop
erty, and many people were injured, but
there was no actual loss of life.
ALABAMA DEMOCRATS
Select Delegates to Chicago and a
Slate Ticket.
The Alabama state democratic conveu
tion closed its labors Friday and ad
journed, after having nominated a fu 1
state ticket, presidentid directors and
tlie twenty two delegates from Alat ama
to the national convention. The dole
gates to Chicago go uninstructed, the
sentiment of the convention being agaiust
instruction.
Tlie state ticket was completed by tin
nomination of the followin ; candidates :
Governor, Thomas G. Jones, of Mont
gomery; secretary of state, J. I). Barron;
of Clay; attorney general, W. L. Martin;
of Jackson; auditor, John Purifoy, of
Wilcox; treasurer, J. C. Smith, of Dal
las; commissioner of agriculture, 11. D
Lane, of Limestone; superintendent o!
education, J. E. Harris, of Sumt< r.
Electors State at Large—Willis
Brewer, of Lowndes; E. L. Russel, l , of
Mobile.
An inquiry among the members places
the position of the national delega'ion
about as follows: A good majority favor
the ex-president, but less than half the
delegates are what might be called pro
nounced Cleveland men. The re
mainder, twelve or fifteen, are men who
will go to Chicago to vote for the most
available mail —the man whose nomina
tion, in their opinion, means the most for
the south, and whose election seems the
surest. If that man is Mr. Cleveland, he
will get nearly all the Alabama delega
tion, but the delegates preferred to”be
uninstructed.
Homeopathic Convention.
The forty-fifth session of the Ameiican
institute of homeopathy was opened at
Washington Monday. The general re
port <jf the bureau of organization, reg

had been a general advance in homeo
pathy, all along the line during the year.
The reports stated that there are in the
United States forty general and thirty
nine special homeopathic hospitals, at
which 81,294 patients were treated last
year. The death rate was 8.31 per cent.
it was also shown that there are in the

said the democrats had ma lc a poll of
the state recently, and were so confident
of getting a plurality this fall that they
did not care to make any alliance.
A New York dispatch of Thursday
says: Several of the committee of union
printers who went to Minneapolis iu re
gard to the matter of transforming the
Tribuns composing room from a “rat” to
a union office, returned to the city
Wednesday. They say the matters in
dispute between Reid and the printers
have been satisfactorily adjusted, and
that a union foreman and union composi
tors will be put at work in the Tribune
office.
A London cablegram of Wednesday is
to the effect that the National League of
Great Britain has issued a manifesto to
Irishmen in Great Britain. It sai i" that
the anti-Parnellites have rejected honor
able terms for a truce, and have declared
war to the knife, and predicts that three
years will elapse without homo rule for
Ireland being granted. At the expiia
tion of that time, the manifesto contin
ues, part of the McCarthyite* will have
deserted to the enemy and others will
have fled the country in disgrace. The
little band of Parnellites will then form
the nucleus of the new Irish army to
save the nation.
BLAINE’S SORROWS.
His Sou Emmons Hies Suddenly at
Chicago.
Emmons Blaine, son of ex-Secretary o(
State James G. Blaine, died at his resi
dence in Chicago at 11:15 Saturday
morning from blood poisoning originat
ing from u disorder of the bowels.
The fact of Mr. Blaine’s death waskept
concealed for some time after he had
pass' d nwav, the object being to reach
the father first with some general inti
m ition of the sad news. The ex-seere
tary and his wile were at Bar Harbor,
Me., and efforts to get telegraphic com
munication with them failed, however,
and about 12:15 o’clock the news of tho
death leaked out. It was not until about
a quarter of an hour prior to the fatal
moment that the least intimation that
Blaine was in a dangerous condition be
came known, and then it was only to a
few. When tho sad intelligence finally
reached Mr. and Mrs. Blaine, they were
prostrated by the terrible blow.
During the convention young Blaine
seemed in perfect health, and no one
who heard of his sudden passing away
was more shocked than those who unv
him participating in the caucuses, early
and late, night und day, ia his father’s
interest. It is thought possible by many
that the strain of excitement at Mineap
oli°, followed by kecu disappointment ol
the outcome, had n t a littl ■to do with
the physical prostrition en-uing.

My niece, Eraeline Hawley, was,
taken with spitting blood, and she
became very much alarmed, fearing
that dreaded disease, Consumption.
She tried nearly all kinds of medi
cine but nothing did her any good.
Finally she took Gorman Syrup and
she told me it did her more good
than anything she ever tried. It
stopped the blood, gave her strength
and ease, and a good appetite. I
had it from her own lips. Mrs.
