The mail dog excitement has agaiu spread among our people. Another victim has felt the fatal fangs of a diseased canine. On last Sunday morning the fifteen year old daughter of Mr. Robert Cul pepper, accompanied by her father, started out to carry the cows a short distance to the pasture, and not a one iu that household had the faintest idea of the terrible occurrence that would befall her before she again r* ached the portals of home After reaching the pasture and se curing the cows their attention was called to the fact that a mule had bro ken out, and was iu the corn field near by. I hey immediately started out with tho intention of driving the inule away, the daughter going around in one di rection aud the father iu another. In passing around the brow of the hill the father was startled to hear screams coming from the dii action in which iiis daughter had goue—the bill having caused him to Use sight of her. What was his borrow when gaining a point where he could witness what was occuiriug, to see a large dog, with blood-decked foam Hying from his mouth, spring from a clump of hushes that bordered a small “wash” through the field, and catch her with his cruel teeth by the right shoulder, throwing her to the grouud. It was hut a second before the father was at her side, and with a strength and energy bom ol the moment soon succeeded in causing the rabid animvl to relinquish his hold, aud seek safety iu flight. As soon as the occurrence became known in the neighborhood a number of citizens armed themselves aud went in search of the dog, hut whether they succeeded in killing him or uot your reporter has failed to ascertain. Upon examination it was found that the dog had inflicted several severe wounds on the young lady’s person, one on the right arm, between the shoulder ami elbow, another on the left hand, between the thumb and fore fin ger, and a third on the calf of the leg. In the afternoon Mr. Culpepper left for Campbell county, whither he car ried his daughter to test upon her the wonderful aud far famed mad stone, in possession of a citizen there. We learn that upon the first applica tion the stone adhered to the wound, sticking, perhaps, for about fifteen min utes. The second time it wao applied it Temaiuul for something over three hours. Mr. Culpepper, and his daughter, are now at home relieved of all un easiness of any further trouble from the bite, having been assured by all who are acquainted with the virtues of the above mentioned stone that it has ever proven infallible. It was a strange dog, never having been seeu in that locality before. On Saturday a dog, which, from its appearance and actions was supposed to he mad, entered the yard of Mr. James Fos’er, who lives about three miles west of town, and a'tacked his dog, biting him severely. Leaving Mr. Foster’s he went in a southern direc tion, and is next heard of at Mr. Si. Oglesby’s place, where he bit one or more dogs. From there he came in the direction of town, passing through the southern portion of it, and is repor ted to have bitten nearly every dog in t'Jacksville. lie next made his ap pearance on Mr. A. A Lemon’s plan tation, cast of town. On this place an old negro and his son weie engaged hauling wood, and i heir dogs being with them in the woods had “treed” a'rabbit in a rock pile some distance from where they were engaged loading their wagon. The younger negro left his father with i he intention of going to his dogs to se cure the rabbit, if possible. Just be fore reaching them he was confronted by a strange dog that made at him. The rock pile being handy he grasped a large one and flung it at the dog with all his might, knocking him to the ground. With a growl the dog sprang to his feet and was at him again, and once agaiu the negro laid him low with a rock. At til’s juncture of the proceedings the attention of the other dogs was attracted, and dog like “they waded in to the under dog.” 'The ne gro then “longed to throw himself into the arms of his father,” —went, and “stood not upon the order of his go ing.” In speaking of the affair he says, ”1 neb-r looked back, but fum de fuss dey was keepin’ I think dat ole mad dog wooled ’em like de dickens.” From this place he is reported to have gone in the direction of Mr. G’ul pepi er’s, which is about four miles east of town And it is generally thought to be-lhe same dog that attacked his daughter, lie has not been caught.

A Hili. “RUGGED HONESTY.” A Debt of Thirty Years Raid With Compound Interest. “An honest man is the noblest work ot God.” It is quite refreshing in this day, when men are scrambling for wealth, and thinking hut little of honor, to find one of the rugged old types of southern manhood who still has such u just ap preciation of honor that he counts his word his bond. Ou last Sunday morning Mrs. S. W. Brown, proprietress of the Brown House, received a letter, written in a rough, cramped baud, that site was un able to recogn’ze What was her sur prise upon opening it to find enclosed twociisp tens and a five dollar hill fold ed together with ihe following note of explanation, which we give verbatim. et literatum et punctuaturu : Novr 14 lHitJ Mrs S W Brown I think I owed Aa Brown your Hus band two dollars aud Sixteen cents that has about 30 yea:s ago I Send you in this $25 dollars I think that will pay the principle and Intrust please accept it iu payment Mr. Asa Brown was for a number of years and up to the time of his death, in the mercant’le business at this place, and the letter is supposed to be from some one of his old debtors. The identity of the sender has been well concealed ; not only is the ch’.rog raphy unfamiliar, but no name whatei er is signed to it, and the postmark was also undistiuguishable, so it will ever remaiu a mister} as to who thig man is who believes so strongly in honesty. The sum, as stated in the letter, just about reaches the amount due, adding to the principal the interest compound ed The old adage “Honesty is the best policy,” would hardly be apropos, it seems to us, iu this case. Take it all iu all it is one of the strangest incidents that has ever come under our knowledge. Merit Winn. We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have giv en such univeisal satisfaction.

These remedies have won their great popularity solely on their merits. C. D. DcDonald, d uggist. Mrs. J. D. Spencer, of Jackson, nar rowly escaped death from poison hv drinking coffee last Tuesday morning. She detected a bitter taste iu the coffee, aud setting it aside after a swallow or two, thereby saved her life. The cook, an old negro woman, drank two cups of it and died iu about three hours How the poison got into the coffee is a mystery, but it is supposed to have been from painted grains. No oue thinks it an attempt to kill the fam lly. Mrs. Spencer is well known here, where she has relatives. “Listed,” as the brokers say. at “100 Doses One Dollar,” Hood’s Sarsaparil la is always a fair equivalent for the price.

I lie enterprising citizens of the State, realizing the great good like or ders had done otlie" sections, organized a Georgia order under the name and style of The Mutu.il Endowment Or der—promising, as all other like orders do, to pay SIOO in twelve months for the least possible cost, and 5? 12 per week sick benefits for five weeks dur ing the year. The order is chartered for twenty years by the Superior court of Fulton. The original twelve mouth order paid one SIOO for 130 the first year, and is still doubling its members’ money in twelve months. Mr. Geo. M, Spencer, deputy sit prerne organizer, has organized a lodge iu McDonough, and as iuformalion the following about the liostou Progres sive is taken from the Atlanta Journal,' as it operates on the same plan as the Mutual Endowment: ()u the 12th of May, 1800, the Pro gressive Benelit Order was incorporat ed under the laws of Massachusi Us re lating to fraternal beneficiary organiza tions, and has a reserve fund of $250,- 000 iu interest-bearing securities with the treasurer of that State. During the first year of its corporate existence it reached a membership of 37,000, and at the present time it has over 58,000 members throughout the States and Cuuadas. This phenomenal growth within so short a time is unexampled iu the history of fraternal, benefit or in surance associations, and this large number is being augmented by an av erago of 1000 new members each week. Mr. Davey, the supreme president, may well receive congratulations upon his brilliant success. The nature and character of the or der is essentially co-operative, and as lion. Geo. 1). Robertson, ex-governor of Massachusetts, said, referring to this system of endowments and heuefits : “ The same ua'ural laws apply to them as apply to any other company doing an insurance business. I'liey have just the same stability, and are governed by just the same averages, and are mauaged by men of experience and judgment. The averages upon which they are based are just as unerring as the laws of gravitation ” There lias been disbursed in relief claims up to the present time the sum of over $40,000, and made a division of over $(>00,090 among its members, and the order is now the largest and strongest of its character iu the coun try. At least 90 percent.of the mem here receiving their endowment renew their certificates, which uo such favor ahle percentage is maintained in any of the older insurance companies. “Dur ing the lirst sixteen mouths of our ex istence,” says President Davey, “we have thus far fulfilled every obligation incumbent upon us as an order, we have endeavored to conform to the statues made and provided for our gov ernment, we have never screened our selves from the eyes of criticism, never dodged the blows of antagonists, have always courted investigation from lion est seekers after truth, and have been iu the largest measure successful ” Ituckleu’s Arnica Halve.
