One Is in its proper position and location, and the other Is between its boms, on the top of 1U head. Certainly a curiosity. Sumter Republican: More small gralu has and will be sown In Southwest Georgia the present season, than at any former pe riod. We hope this may be the begin ning of that “ better timo” in our agri cultural affairs for which so many in this section have been sighing, and that the small grain crop may bo supplement ed by a com crop such as has no , been planted since the war. Montezum v Weekly : “Do bogs pay ?’* is the beadirg of a newspaper ar ticle. A great many do not ; they take a paper several years and then have tbo post-master send it back matked “re fused.” Montezuma Weekly : A blushing maiden and a newspaper are very much alike, because a new* dress becomes both.

One hundred thousand Isn’t bad, and we wisli tho invincible Hannibal I. a big boom of luck. Home Bulletin: A few nights since Mr. W. E. Ward, of Sugar Valley, st-pped off the depot platform at that place and falling acrois tbo iron rail of the track, broke three of ills’ribs. D; M. • Spence, the depot agent, seeing him lying there went to bis assistance and found him insensi ble, but managed to get him home where the proper care aud attention was given, and we are glad to state he Is dbing very wolf, judging from tbe fact that be was able to corao to Home yestorday. He sustaired other injuries in the rail, such as bruising bis rigid arm and disjointing two fingers of the right hand. Sandersvillz llerald: From all sec tions of our county we receivo tlie grati fying news of tho excellent stand of the oat crop. Never in the history of tlie county iias there been such a vast area in fall oats cultivated as there is this year. And eveu now there are largo quantities of seed oats sold by our dealers for spring sowing. This is u hopeful sign of belter times for our good old county. Dawson Journal: We don’t know a single young man in Dawson who gets 1 drunk. This is saying a good deal for our town, but it is nevertheless true. We feel proud of our young men—they are all clever, polite and industrious. We have known a majority of them from in fancy, and we arc also proud to say that, notwithstanding soma have left to find employmeot in other sections, whenever aud whatever you find a Dawson boy, proper, you find in him u perfect gentle- man. v Athens Banner: Tho lone engine of the Northeastern rood broke down Mon day night, as tbe train was coming into Athens, and no train has run on that road since. It looks funny that a road should suspend operations because an engine breaks down, bat the Athenians don’t think it is funny a bit. They are grum bling considerably over tbe interruption of business and of mails caused thereby, and laying It all to the blat^ of the city authorities forgiving away the road. If the latter could have anticipated the acci dent to Ibe engine, probably they never would liavo disposed of the road as they did; or perhaps tlioy would have been more anxious than they were.

From some cause, probably the statement of Dudley and Smith, his rcarrest was deemed necessary. When Captain Aldridge sought Mahone for the purpose of executing tlie warrant, he found him serving on a jury in the city court, but his release from this duty soon placed him in the calaboose, where he will remain until this momleg, when the two will be taken before Judge Pitcbford for a preliminary trial. Hawkinsviiae Dispatch: The steamer Mary Fisher ieft Hawkinsvillo for Savan nah Saturday afternoon last, having on board about three hundred bales of cotton and a quantity of fertilizers and merchan dise. Altogether she had about six hun dred dollars worth of freight, and will take on Jjer return from Savannah about four hundred dollars more. The round trip will pay about one thousand dollars. Tlie boat will reach Savannah to-day, and will pr^ably return to Hawkltisville by Tuesday-* / Wednesday next. The own ers of tlie boat calculate ou making round trips to Savannah in from eight to ten' dajs. and a thousand dollars worth of business will pay handsomely, as tlie ex penses are now reduced to less than three hundred dollars per month.

Same man played a mean trick ou Bueg in stuffing tbe tinkcys* crops full of dough, thus insinuating that they had killed tame birds. Tbo old gent was mad enough to fight for a while. Dublin Post: The report that W. H. Tillery has failed has been on the streets tmcontradicted tor several days. We are not very well posted in the details of tlie matter, hut from what we can gather we think the report is a littie premature. It grew out of tlie fact that W&xelbanm, of Macon, sent down an attorney last week With a $2,000 claim and authority to close up Tillery unless he could make some satisfactory arrangements. It appears that a truce has been patched tip for the time being. The crash Is daily looked for. ^Swainsboro Herald: Miss Ida V. fiavap left for Macon yesterday, where sbft Will attend the Wesleyan Female College. Bbfl was accompanied to that city bylier brother, Mr. r. V- We wish them a pleasant trip. Albany Hexes: We are Indebted to Mr. G. T, West fur the following bird story: - £»'.ly Monday morning, bcrcrc good day light, Mr. West walked out towards Ills lot ari J Ins Attention v, ai iff'raffed by a terr.fie quacking among h’s yer-s?. Ap proaching where the geese were, he heard a fluttering noise, as if some of them were fighting. Upon reaching the corner of tlie fence from whence tlie noise came, he ex pected to lind two old ganders fighting; but imagine his surprise when lie discov ered a great big owl and an old gander fighting for dear life. Both birds were completely exhausted, the owl being un able to fly away at the approach of Mr. West. Upon Investigation it wm found that the fight had been & most desperate °0C. Fiktbets were scattered and the "ground was tore up for fifteen or twenty feet around. Tne supposition ii thatlhe Owl, which wa3 an immense bird, measur ing four feet and seven Inches from tip to tip of his wings, swooped down Into the drove of geese, and was at once ponneed upon aud engaged by the sturdy old gan der, MACON correspondent of the Sumter Rejxublican: In passing through and around the city, we saw many new and tasteful residences swelling iuto ontiinc under the plastic baud of skillful archi tecture. Dome of these are gems of beau ty and convenience. In a half century and more we predict for Macon, if no blasting war shall stop her progress, a popn’ation of an hundred thousand, and au immense capital iu factories. Two regular colleges, Wesleyan Female and Mercer University, are the temples of tho muses. Mach talk of tbe artistic exposi tion which is to come off next autumn. Macon can’t blow like Atlanta and tlie idea conveyed excludes too many expos itors. SwAiNSttoffo Herald: Again our vil lage has been tlie scene of another runa way marriage. On last Monday evening, Miss Mattie Padgett, who has been living wilb Mrs. T. M. .Lewis, of this place, eloped with a Mr.' Wm. Berwick. Mrs. Lewis was iufot med of tbe tact, and she sent tbe couple au Invitation to return and be married in her parlor. Tbe couple were very much excited, but at last, the dreaded ceremony was perform ed, and they were sent ou their way rejoic ing. There was no reason for tbe elope ment, as no one objected to tbe match. Atlanta Constitution: When the employes of tbe Western and Atlantic car ■hops began work yesterday morning, they were informed that an order re ducing their wages twenty-five per cent bad been issued. This was tad intelli gence for tbe workmen and judging from their talk, there Is a probability that many of them will quit rather than accept tbe reduced pay Walton County Vldette: Tbe other night the dogs burglarized Dr. Hardman's smokehouse and took therefrom a quarter ol nice dried beef, which waa more than half consumed by daybreak. This crime ao enraged the Doctor that be put a good quantity of strychnine on the beef and left ft where tbe dogs bad left It. The next morning seven canines sod one large slse Thomas cat were lying cold aud pale in deatb near by. If it bad been a good nigbt for dogs to prowl around, there might bare been more to take snpper wilb lb* Doctor. SwiDOBORO Herald: J. H. Wilkins, of Louisville, Ga-, failed last week.

Work was again com menced on tbe road this morning, under the supervision of Mr. Patrick Lynch, the contractor, and if no other impediments get iu the way will proceed rapidly until Atlanta has another railroad. Cuthbert Appeal: On Monday night last some unknown person forced open one ol the doors of the Southwestern rail road depot, in this city, and by means of an axe and pinch-bar cut an opening Into tho iron safe in the oflico, taking therefrom between a hundred and a hundred and five dollars. A book containing aboiy, a hundred -and thirty dollars was taken out ot the safe aud left upon tlie floor with the money iu it undisturbed. Ail the sealed envelopes, aud envelopes marked as containing money were opened. Several bonds, deeds and Insurance papers were left lying loose upon the fluor. Mr. Phelps, fortunately, had just sent off the day before the hulk of the money belong ing to the railroad. The safe bad been rolled from its place against the wall iu the corner of the office into tbe mid dle of the room, where room could be had fur 'operating upon the back part of it where tjio opening was made. Tho dis covery ’,vas madb by the conductor of tho five o’clock train, who, on going to slip some papers under the door for Mr. riiilpo, ina uuui Cp?°i Going ill he found the office in the condition al ready described. No clue to the perpe 1 (raters of the deed has yet been foiiad. “Chatham,” iu the Savannah Hexes: It is a singular fact that Senator Hill’s two meat brilliant proteges—Hon. Emory Speer and Hon. A. H.

Albany Noes and Advertiser: The fatmer‘ who pulls off his coat ami rolls up his slefjves and goes io work with * will, will have tbe satisfaction at harvest limej of reaping a rich rewatd for ail his toils. The fanner who flraw? on bis coat, and Mats himself lit the shade, and depends on hired labjr to prepare his land, sow his seed and cultivate his crops will, when harvest timo comes, have the mortifica tion of realizing that bis crops are a failure. Merchants who are furnishing planters supplies, for which they are required to sign ironclad waive notes, ought to add- tlie following at tbe bottom of them in large type: “Note.—Nothing in this note shall be construed to prevent farmeis from raising cblckens, liogs, cows, fruits or anything to make their farms silf- sustaiuing, provided they make enough cotton to pay the above indebtedness.” Constilulion : Sam Jemison, of Macon, is undecided whether to declare for the coalition or become a North American floater. HaWCixsville Dispatch: The first wat ermelon of tbe s asou. We have recetved from Mr. Boothe Adams, of Dodge Coun ty, a couple or fine watermelons, brought to our office on Saturday last by Mr. A. T. Powell. Tbese melons were raised in tlie open air since the first of December, and one of them weighs twenty-two pounds. If any of tbe readers of the Dis patch doubt this statement, all they have to do is to call at our oflics and see the melons. This has indeed been a remark ably mild winter. Horth Georgia Citizen: Frank Hen dricks, a colored man, was stealing a ride on a freight train of tbe Western aud At lantic railroad, one day last week, when he met with an accident that ended his earthly career, lie was hau.ing on a ladder of one of the box cars, and, being unaware of tbe close proximity of the tunnel, was knocked from his position as the train entered it, and killed. Some thing over six dollars was fouud cn bis person. CoRBEsroNDENCB HawkinsvlHa Dis patch : Tlie United States engineer, with bis boats and crew, are still at work on the Flint. If they continue to progress in tlie future as they have the past year, they will probably retch Montezuma by tbo year 1900. The great Inman cotton factory that was to be in Aususta has had a check iu its progress. Tbe city council and the projectors cannot agree as to tbe amount of lend necessary for such an enterprise. We advise Mr. Inman to come over to Macon, aud we will let him have all the laud be wants. Mits. L)b. E. H. Bacon, of Eastman, and a daughter of Mr. Thomas U.

Tlie Doctor has bad several arresis made and the matter is being thoroughly iuvettigated. Dil N. L. Axgier was found dead in his bed at Atlanta yesterday morning. Griffin Hexes: The thieves who en tered the Brown House a few uights ago have been captured at Sunny Side and re turned to Macon. The two were at the Nelms House a day or tiro before tljoir depredations flown tue road. Pud-Appeal: Mr. Wm. T. Walters, one of the wealthy men of Baltimore, and who is in Atlanta attending the annual meeting of the lessees of the Western ami Atlantic railroad, met Capi. Burke, of the Gate City Guard, in the Kimball House last night and informed him that he would send his check for $100 to tho company to-day* Albany j&iifi: Lard Thomas, a col ored man living on J. S. Harris" planta tion, two miles suulh of Warwick, owed Edmund Cuouingbatn, another negro, the sum of fjur dollars. The debtor was ^al ways impecunious, and could never meet his obligation to the creditor, so on Tues day last Cunningham, growing tired of pestering Thomas, walked over to where the latter was at work, calmly took out his knih and cut the delinquent credit or’s throat from ear to car.

Fort Valley Mirror: We have seen only one drunken man iuFoit Valley since the liquor law went into effect, and he arrived here ou tho train intoxicated, and was a strancer here.

Tho governor had offered a re ward of $150 far his arrest. ■ Four Valley Mirror: We were shown yesterday some bread made up witli refined cotton seed oil, which is des tined to eventually take tlie piacooflard for cooking purposes. It is much sweeter and purer than lard and makes better bread. Wo would be glad 'o see a cotton seed oil mill and refinery located in Fort Valley, and, as no investment would pay better, we hope some of ourmoneyed men will consider the matter. We see no reason for difficulty about organizing a stock company and getting the mill iu op eration in time for the next crop. Constitution: Dr. Ridley, of this city, yesterday received tlie following telegram from Dr. Gross, of Philadelphia. As it tells of the condition of Senator Hill, it will he read with pleasure by the Consti tution's patrons. The telegram is as follows: Philadelphia,February 1,1832.—Dr. R. U. Ridley—Operation over.

Twenty minutes laUr w as burned at Madison Tuesday ui;bt, cost $13,000 and was insured for $4,000. ’ Savannah Recorder: We learn from a friend wbo was in Alapaha, a station on tho Albany and Brunswick railroad, that Mr. Wiley Chambless, au active citizen of Berrien county, who sometimes in dulges too freely m the rosy, was knocked on the head by a law officer oj Saturday last, and was supposed to have been fa tally injured at tbo lime. The facts as narrated were as follows. Wiley was on a spree and the officer had him under ar rest. Wiley broke loose,' drew his knife and attacked him. They grappled, Wi ley tripped him and they both fell, the fall separating them. The officer rose first, aud a3 Wiley came at him ho struck him on tlie head, felling him to the ground wiib a fearful wound ou tbe head. Tho wound was dressed aud he was put iu his buggy aud sent home. Before reachiiig come the doctor was sent for to stop a hemorrhage. What will bo tho result bannot be ascertained from our informant, Augusta. Chronicle: A representative of tbe Chronicle met Mayor May yester day, and asked bmt wiiy it was that Ibe canal committee did uot let the corpora tors pi tbe Inman Manufacturing t’ompa ny ‘have as much water front as they asked for, on the canal. “Became,” said his Honor, “the city does not intend to sell to any company, at the nominal price of $100 per acre, more laud than its re quired lor manufacturing purposes. Why should the city sell to tbe Inman compa ny, or any other company, double the quantity of laud which is needed by tnat company? ir the city should sell any company double tbo quan tity of land required by that company for Its buildings, what is to prevent tbo com pany from turning that which they do not ne:d into speculative purposes? In other words, tbe company might sell the land which it procured from the city at $100 per acre to others at $500. Tne city de sires to eucourage manufacturing ami will do so by every means iu its power, but it whl not divest Its* If of all iu land along the canal to a few corporations or indi viduals. It is perfectly willing to sell the Inman Company ail tbe land, at $100 per acre, that it requires for manufacturing purposes; but no more. The committee also require thst the mill of tlie size des ignated, when the land is bought, shall be built within two years of tbo date of pur chase, otherwise the transfer is Lull aud void. Tho committee will also be careiul in gianting water power, to see that no company gets more water than it requires.” This conclusion of the city authorities is eminently correct. There would be no equity iu allowing a few c mpanies to purchase all tho land owned by the city along the canal at a mere uomiual figure. Li a few years other companies that might desire to eiect factories would be under tho necessity of paying large sums to par ties for sites which they had purchased for $100 per acre.

Late yesterday nf tornoon Chief Hurley re ceived a telegram from John Spain, city maishal of ThomasviUe, to arre&t a young man named John C. Courtney, charged with forgery, and who was expected to ar rive on tbe train from Albany. The tele gram described a Blonder young man, thin moustache, light clothes, cropped hair, de cayed upper teeth and red hands. He was also to bo recognized by wearing a double- breasted light colored overcoat with rubber buttons, and an amethyst ring on his little finger. Tho description was given to officers Wryo, Henderson and Harvey Fennel with in-tractions to watch tho incoming trains aud make tho arrest. Accordingly when tho train from Albany came iu tlie officers were ou hand. A young man, apparently answering the description exactly with the exception that lie tr.d no overcoat, was spotted nnd the officers drew him out. Tho ring lie wore was a cameo, nt-d, with the exception ot tho coat, was perfectly do- scribed ia the telegram. The officers were convinced soou afterward that ho was uot tho mnu, r.nd he was n-dowed to proceed, nnd so gentlemanly had he boon treated by tbo offioers that ho did not utter one word of complaint at tho detention or mistaken identity. .... . \\ hen- the Brunswick tram came in, offi cers Heudersou nnd Fennell saw the risht man and quietly arrested him. This ovtut was not wholly uuiooked for. He said he lmd got down pretty lowiu ThomasviUe and grew reckless.

Emroni Telzcibatu and Messenger— In your issue of this data you publish an order in the caso of Huff vs. Mayor and Council et nl., and say it i3 a'consent order taken in that rase in tha Supreme Court on Tnsjdsylast You have fallen into an er ror as to the court in which the order was taken. Judao Simmons granted the order yon published, and it was signed by Messrs. Lyon & Gresham, W. A. Hawkins, as attor ney for W. A. Huff, and Mr. S. H. Jemison for the city of Macoa. Tha attorneys of the commissioners of the bonded debt of the city of Macon did nut sign that order, nor did they over see it until Wednesday □As you are doubtless aware, when Judge Simmons granted the injunction against tho mayor nnd council, the attor neys of tho commissioners of the bonded debt, in connection with N. E. Harris, city attorney, who represented thomnyoraud council in tho argument of tho case before Judge Sim mons, by joint bill of exceptions carried the decision of Judge Simmons to the Su preme Court for review. Wfccn the case was called iu that court, S. H. Jemison, Esq., representing the mayor and council, moved to withdraw the bill of exceptions, and in aid of the motion, read a resolution of the mayor and council, instructing tho city attorneys to do so, and also read the modifiod consent order alluded to above. The undersigned attorneys of the com- messionivs of tbo bonded debt, so far from consenting to any order in tho cast, stren uously roiisted the motiou of Mr. Jemison, contending aud reading authority to sustain the position, that as it was necessary' to prosecute the trover suit*, particularly that against Maior R. F. Lawton, who received a portion ot tho collateral* held by him, not from Mr Huff, hut directly from the city treasurer, in order that the commis sioners of tho bondod debt might dis charge the daty imposed upon them by the aot of the Legislature,the mayor and council o raid aud «hould be retained as parties to ti e bill of exceptions, not only without but against their consent. After full argu ment of tho question, the court decided ttiat tlie city attorney hnd a right to with draw the bill of exceptions a* to the may or and council, and that when that was done, there was no judgmert ngaiuat the commissioners of the bonded debt for re view. This decision, which was a formal and binding adjudication, necessarily dis* j posed of tbe whole case. We did uot con sent to nny order in this case. i By tbe modified order, taken in the case j in the court below, it is expressly provided , that tbe original judgment granting tho In- \ junction against tne mayor and oouned | "was simply to enjoin the three common lnw op trover suit**,” nnd counsel for Hun j declare that they so construe that judg- . ment. This beiug so, it would seem that 1 the only chance iu the status of the Iffiga- j tion is that it is to be prosecuted in the fu ture in a oourt of eqaity rather than iu a > court of law.
