JIow Jim Smith, of Jonenhoro, Made n Stranger Leave III* lied. If Jim Smith has a weakness for anything it is playing a joke on a fellow. Last Sat urday night Smith came in on the down train. He secured a room at the Storey House. When the up train arrived there came another drummer. There being two beds in the room, the porter carried the drummer up to Smith’s room, and opening the door asked if he had any objections to a gentleman going in the room with him. Smith answered, saying: “Why, no, cer tainly not; I will be * pleased to* have him, for if there is anything I do like, it is com pany.” The gentleman undressed and was soon in bed. Both were soon asleep. In a short time the stranger yelled out: “Oh, Hay, mister, stop that snoring. You disturb me. I can’t sleep. Turn over.” Smith answered, “All right,” nnd was soon asleep again. In a short time the stranger again cried out: “Great heavens, man, wake up and stop that snoring; I can’t sleep.” Smith answered, “All right, my friend.” Just then a happy thought struck him. He said to himself: “I will do some snoring with my eyes open, hut I will make the fellow think I am asleep. Here Smith came down on the bass. Those in the house said it could he heard two blocks away, and sounded like a steamboat round ing a bend in the river. The stranger stood it for a minute or so, then jumping out of bed he made a rush for the door, and as he hastened out said: “Great Scott, you are certainly the champion snorcr of the world,” The gentleman was found next morning asleep on the parlor floor. Smith says he laughed himself to sleep, and dreamed he and his best girl were in a gilded ice cream parlor, and while she ate cream he sucked a frozen mint julep through a golden tube.—Jonesboro News.

Fifty-Five Prancing Colts Waiting for the little Ribbon. Barnesville, October 3. —As was adver tised, Mr. Jackson G. Smith, the owner of the Norman stallions, DeCasuley and French, held bis colt show on onr streets to day. His object was to bring .together nil of the colts sired by his horses, and to effect this he offered three prizes, viz: 1. Twenty dollars for the finest colt sired by DeCasuley. 2. Ten dollars for the finest colt sired by French. 3. Ten dollars for the finest colt out of the sorriest mare. His object wns effected, for by 10 o’clock our square was filled with colts, little nnd big, nnd of every imaginable color nnd shape, all competing for the prices. Messrs. John Powell, Ambrose Murphy, W. P. Mc Donald, E. W, Bose, J. T. Blalock, E. H. Bloodworth nnd W. R. Murphy, were cho sen as judges nnd t.,(- show began. A rimg wns formed and the colts were led around nnd around, so that the judges might see nnd note each one and jndge its merits. Occasionally the ring would he broken by some refractory colt trying to join his anxious mother outside, bnt the of fender would soon he brought to order and persuaded to resume his march. About fifty-five colts were present, all, without exception, were well formed, snd it wns hard to decide which of the three were the finest, hut the judges finally awarded the prize to J. C. Adams, first prize: A. A. McKinley, second prize; Harris H. Smith, third prize. It wns a beautiful collections of colts, and is an indication of the coming prosperity of our people. Already are they learning to raise their provisions at home, nnd when they cease to be dependent upon Kentucky nud Tennes see for their stock, then will they be upon the road that leads to success. The half-breed Norman is especially desirable for our country, both from his qualities ns a draught horse and his hardiness and durability. He will do ns much work ns a mule and is infin itely more desirable, DeGasuly and French both took premiums at the last State fair and nre excellent specimens of horse flesh. Mr. Smith paid nearly $2,000 for the lirst and $1,000 for the second and he says that money could not buy them. NOTES. Mr. Abernathy, of Juliette, was present with a pretty colt. The colt tLnt carried off the third prize was only six weeks old. One of the colts, six months old, weighed 680 pounds. Several hundred peoplo eame in to see the colt ahow, and judging from the way they crowded around them and attempted to walk over them, they certainly saw it. One gentleman refused $150 for a four months old colt. Altogether it wns en eminent success. HE GOT THREE YEARS.

LHE GOVERNORS LONG-DELAYED RESPONSE To a Legislative Inquiry Concerning the Es. cape of Convicts—Seventy-two Con- vlctsfiet Avvnv, for Which Pen- altlcsof Si.liOOnrc l’alil. Tklehrai-h Bcrkap, 1"!, Peachtreet St., Atlanta, September 90,1884. In December last, Senator Smith, .of the Thirty-second, introduced a resolution ask ing the Governor to inform the Senate as to the number of esenped convicts, and the amount the lessees were indebted to the State on account of such escapes. Where a convict makes his escape through nny carelessness on the part of the lessees they are required to pay into the treasu ry $200. When the resolution wns introduced there was an iden that there had a considerable number es caped, nnd that the lessees had not been required or compelled under the law to pay into the treasury the penalty money. * This resolution slept sweetly in the exec utive office, for some reason, for nearly a year, until some inquiry was ventured as to its fate in this correspondence. Since that time, presumably, the gubernatorial atten tion has been directed to the matter and de linquent lessees requested to come up. The Governor this morning sent in the following communication on the subject. There are some points of the message which invite attention: Executive Department. Atlanta. Oa., Septem ber 110, 1885.—To the General Assembly: I respect- fully submit the Information sought in the resolu tion of the Senate and House of Representatives rel ative to tho escape of convicts from the penlten- tlary, nnd the liability of the lessees for tbe same. Penitentiary Company No. 1 had five escapes from the beginning of tbe term of Gov. Stephens on November 4, 1882. to July 1, 1885. The sum of 2200 for each of said escapes—making a total of 21.000— bos been paid into the treasury by said company. There have been in tbe period aforesaid thirty-six escapes from Penitentiary Company No. 2. On ex amination. as provided by law, tbe excuses aud ex* plauatlons rendered were adjudged satisfactory as to eighteen of thin number and unsatisfactory as to tbe other eighteen. Of the number not excused the company has paid into tbe treasury tbe penalty for nine, pewit, the sum of $l,80u. Suit ban been or- dered and will be commenced on tbe bond of this company to recover the penalty for the remaining Dine. Penitentiary Company No. 3 bad in the period aforesaid twenty-one escapes. Tbe excuses ren dered for fourteen of these were adjudged satisfac tory. and nnaatisfactory for the remaining seven. Tbe penalty has been paid into the treasury for all tbe latter, to-wit: 21.400. Tbe Marietta and North Georgia Railroad Company has. during that portion of that pcrold In which convicts remained in its charge, ten escapes. Tbe excuses rendered for eight were considered satisfac tory. aud for two unsatisfactory, for which the company has paid into tbe treasury the sum of <400. The decisions aforesaid were made after full con- anltatton with the Attorney-General. (Signed] Henuy D. McDaniel. These ese'iipes have been running along for nearly three ycara, anil until tho Senate resolution of inquiry it seemed that no effort was made to bring the lessees to the law. I understand most of the ponnlty money has been paid in within the lust two months, or sinoe.thc time the resolution was stirred up. It is'claimed that the delay lms been occasioned—quite a long delay—be cause the law as to tLe liabilities of lessees for escaped convicts is vague. It ought not to be vagne on so important a matter, nnd if its vagueness lms bothered the Governor, n reference to it in one of his messages to tbe. Pem-Wnr" might have resulted in an amendment of the law. ill the period mentioned there have been seventy-two escapes. The lessees have ren dered excuses for sixty-seven of these. Tbe Governor accepted the excuses for forty and held the lessees for twenty-seven. Gov. Brown, who understands tbe law thoroughly us to tho liability of the lessees, sent his check for $290 for each of his five escapes. A Costly Change. Atlanta, Sept. 30.—By the 1st- of June next many of tho SoniLem railroads will change the gnuge of their roads so as to conform with the gauge of their Northern connections. The change will entail a henvy charge upon these roads. A hill is pending in tlie Legislature to authorize tbe lessees of the Western and Atlantic railroad to change the gauge of that road. In a conversation to-dny with a gentleman closely connected with the management of the Western and Atlantic, he said the Louisville and Nash ville hail determined upon this change, and the Western nnd Atlantic aud other roads are forced to follow suit or lose business. It wili take some time to change the gauge of the cam, but when the time fixed for the change arrives the Western nnd At lantic will change the gnnge of ita entire track in one dny. The other roads will doubtless effect the change as rapidly. . Tho cost to the Western anil Atlantic of changing the gauge of the rolling stock and the track is estimated at $50,01)0. This will take a snug little sum from the profits of tho lessees, bnt the change is unavoidable, and in the long ran will pay. A Hoop factory Dtaeonttnued. Atlanta, September 30.—William Clif ford Neff, the soap factory man, hns closed np his business here anil will go to Chicago. He could not sell enough Atlanta made soap to justify him in continuing business here. He tried very hard to control the wholesale trade in his’line by an honest effort to get certain wholesale dealers to take stock in the concern, hut it was no go. Sojhe dosed tin. It would seem that a soap factory should succeed here. Still, there arc thou sands who will try to worry along with water alone. Don't despair, Mr. Neff. You wili yet succeed.
