Down at Resaca, on the Western and At

been going on. LaBt week, when the meet
ing was in the zenith of its glory, when sin
ners were shouting and preachers were
praying, a dispute arose among the clerical
gentlemen, which finally grew so warm in
its character that the meeting was abruptly
brought to a close, and it seemed ns though
the French way of settling a difficulty would
be resorted to. Two of the reverend breth
ren were especially bitter against one an
other, and notices, severely personal, were
promiscuously pasted on telegraph poles;

Captarc of tile Belled Buzzard
About two years ago the Tkleobjuui re
ported the belling of a buzzard with a sheep
bell, by one of the Roberts brothers, in
Jones connty. Since that time the bird has
wandered all over the State, and at one
time hovered over the market in Charles
ton. Near Jug Tavern, in Walton county,
recently, it was captured, os we find ty the
following in the Walton News: “Delay
noticed n number of buzzards aroand where
he had killed a beef and among them was
one wearing a bell. It w-s wonnded and
finally captured alive by him, and the hell,
which he described as a small sheep bell at
tached to its neck by means of a white eloth
collar, four-ply and machine stitched, taken
off. Whenever the hell was rung by those
inspecting it, a buzzard would come near
and light on a shelter close by, os if it re
cognized the sonnd and sought its compan
ion.”

TALBOT’S FAIR.
The ltnlll of the First Day Does Not Prevent
• Its Success.
Talbottos, October 22.—Tuesday was a
foul day for a fair. The rain, which com
menced falling early, continued all day
without intermission. This dampened the
ardor of exhibitors, yet in spite of rain sev
eral of the wideawake and progressive farm
ers brought in their displays, and at night
the management were more encouraged and
the day closed with prospects of a consid
erable show on the morrow, provided the
weather should permit.
To-day dawned bright end beautiful, and
exhibiters are bringing in their exhibits,
and from the prospects now, croakers will
have to atop their croaking. The display
so far of form products is good; that of
cattle, sheep and bogs not os good as it
should be. I see sevoral fine colts on exhi
bition.
Yesterday having dawned beautiful nnd
bright, many more exhibita were added to
the different departments and by noon the
exhibition began to look like there was life
in the old land. There was additions made
to all the departments. Mr. Roderick
Leanord exhibits a fine Jersey bull and
several graded yearlings. Mr. Dixon Jersey
hull. Dr. Wells exhibits a herd of Talbot
county cattle which are in fine order and
show that a no fence county can have fat
cattle. Mr. Baldwin and Sir. Dennis ex
hibit each a pen of fat hogs which does
credit to themselves. Several mares and
colts are on exhibition by Mr. Baldwin nnd
Jnck Stevenson. Two stallions, and two
jacks on exhibition and a beautiful four
year old colt, the property of L. A. Baldwin
which attracts attention.
Miss Emma Conch and Sirs. I. B. Stin
son have some fine needlework on exhibi
tion.
In the children’!; department we find
some beantiful socks, darned tidies and
crazy qnilts, made by girla under ten years
old—namely, Sliss Ross and Sliss Ilinckly.
A good number of quilts are on exhibi
tion, consisting of crazy,worsted, calico and
silk, and a crazy qnilt made by Sirs. Atho,
attracts attention. Knit quilt pillow-shams
and tidy, by Miss Slattie’ Slillctt, of Bost-
wick, attracts attention. Coverlids, shams,
home made carpet and rag carpet, by Sirs.
Mabrev.
In the horticultural department wo find
figs, apples, peaches, pears, beets, Slon-
golils turnips, celery and both sweet and
Irish potatoes.
In the home-made department, Sliss
Annie Dennis mokes a handsome display of
jellies, preserves, pickles, canned, evnpo-
rnted and candied fruits; also of breads and
butters.
Sirs. Robert Baldwin also has a fine dls-
power to regulate commerce between the
States; that it was also unconstitutional be
cause it operates in effect to impose duties
upon imports, and because it interferes
with the privileges of the citizens of other
States secured under the clause of the con
stitution whicli guarantees tho citizens of
each State all the privileges and immunities
of citizens of other States.
This decision has an indirect bearing up
on the rights of traveling salesmen, though
nrising under a discriminative law to dis
courage the liquor traffic. All the points
made by the Supreme Court against the law
in Michigan would apply with equal force
to the sole of any other class of merchan
dise by any other means.

Hivmixsvnx*, October 20.—A mock
“civil service examination,” conducted by-
Mr. C. It Hardy, waa held at the Library
Hall last night which afforded a good deni
of amusement to the large number of per
sons who were present A Urge class was
formed, many of our most popular ladies
and gentlemen taking a part in it A series
of simple questions was then linked each
member of the clar* in succession. The
answers given were in most cases amusing,
and often ludicrous. America was discov
ered in every month in the year 1402, and
no one gave the correct date. What State
was last admitted to the Union? brought
a variety of answers—several said Idaho,
one Texas, some Nevada, one Kansas
and one correctly answered Colorado.
Where was Napoleon bom? In France—in
Europe, in Washington, in the Mediterra
nean See, in Corsicana, and the majority
gave correctly, the Island of Corsica. The
distance of the earth from the nunwaa esti
mated si all the way from one million miles
to one billion. Tho question was asked

INDIVIDUAL OR CLUB DISPLAYS.
This is the feature of the fair, nnd if Tal
bot connty had ten more such men as are
tanking the show here in this department,
the Talbot connty fair wonld be the great
est display of farm products ever exhibited
in Georgia. They seem to have everything,
from a pumpkin to a pea, that is raised on
the farm. Why, John Gonnan has oven
chestnuts, and would have brought chinka
pins, but the mice eat them up while ho
was busy correcting his manuscript on his
trip sronnd tho world.
The names of these individual exhibitors
are John Gonnan, Dan Owen, Joe Pye,
Jim Marshall, Mr. Dixon and 8. P. Hinck
ley. John Gorman shows eight or ten
varieties of corn, one variety from Idaho
which matures in June. Each of the others
show several varieties of com, peas, oats,
wheat and rye. The potatoes of each ex
hibitor are remarkably fine. Jim Marshall
shows four varieties and some of the larg
est we ever saw. Mr. Dixcn and Mr. Pye
shows each fine hams that makes
think of our boyhood days
when we used to get red ham gravy. Mr.
Pve shows os fine bacon sides as ono wonld
wish to see. Each of the exhibitors jnst
named have on hand fine specimens of
sugar cane.
Colonel D. Owen shows a new vegetable,
called a Valparaiso squash, said to be
superior vegetable.
Mrs. Owen shows an orange and a lemon
raised in the connty.
Mumford shows two coops of Plymouth
Rock fowls.
The premiums will be awarded to-morrow.

Commercial Might* of States.
Louisville Courier-Journal.)
A Isle decision of the United States Su
preme Court has an important bearing upon
the inter-State rights of commerce. An
agent for a liquor house in Chicago was
proceeded against before a Michigan court
because he had been pushing the business
of his house in Michigan without paying
the tax of $3UO imposed by the set of 1876.
This tax is laid upon all persons who shall
sell, solicit or take orders (sic) for the sole
of spirituous or intoxicating liquor
to citizens or residents of
Michigan, to be shipped to the
State or furnished at wholesale by non-reai-
dent parties, as the law reads. The offend
ing drummer being arraigned before a local
court, waa fined; appealing to the Circuit
Court, hie penalty waa affirmed by a Jury,
and taking his case np to the Supreme ’
of Michigan the findings of the lower courts
were all sustained. The decisions rendered
by the upper courts in Michigan were uni
formly advene to the defendant, and the
justices were unanimous. The United States
Supreme Court, however, reverse* the State
decisions and finds for the defendant, on
the theory that the Michigan law is opposed
to the provisions of the Federal constitu
tion, which reserve wholly to Congress the

Garments That tjuict Feople Would Itathcr
Itrml About Than Wear.
New York Evening Post.
A beautiful evening dress, exhibited last
week as u model for a dancing toilet, was
made of white satin, with a stripe of white
cmhroidered silk muslin alternating. The
short skirt was full in the back, anil gored
on the front and sides. A very wide scarf
of white watered silk was draped grace
fully across the skirt front, ending
a large how, with very long ends, in
the hack. The bodice was of the striped
goods, high to the throat, and with long
sleeves, lint fitted snngly over a second
low-necked sleeveless bodic of white satin.
With this were bretelles of garnet velvet,
terminating in a sharp point as they reached
the belt. These panels for a blonde might
be made of pale blue velvet, bnt the dark
red on thnt shimmering white material is
much more striking. These velvet bre
telles are quite in vogue in l’aris, and are
ireferred upon forms at all stont to the
, aunty, sleeveless Russian and other cut-off
, ocket or velvet nnd plush so popular last
season nnd this.
Pure fine silk fibre underwear is one of
the many luxuries of the weather, and
ntnong tin; costly novelties in theso luxuri
ous Parisian goods are suits knitted in
heavy ribs, and so proportioned as to en
case the form like a well fitted jersey.
Ladies of taste invariably choose those
made wholly of white, with perhaps a rib
bon of pale blue or other color ran through
the fancy knitted edges at the tops of the
vests; but there are any number of suits
showing a mixtnre of four different colors
on one garment, each shade by itself and
forming one-quarter of the vest. These,
however, have too much of a harlequin ap
pearance to he pleasing, though they ore
quite as expensive ns the solid white ones.
A gay and becoming dress for deini-toilet
made of red anil black striped satin, with
tiny red pleating around the bottom of
the skirt A tunic and sash of red snrah
form the drnpings. A long pointed bodice
is laced closely over a vest of plain red su
rah veiled with black Spanish lace. The
sleeves show a pretty mixture of striped
satin, plain snrnh and black lace frills. Silk
serge in plain red also forms another chic
toilet, with basque nnd tunic or polonaise of
gray Bilk serge (lotted with red chenille.

OLD JOE DESERVES A MEDAL.
A Canal Horse Jump. Into theWuter and
Saves Two Lives.
Creek Lock, N. Y„ 8t eclat.
Barney Dugan's canal hone, Old Joe, hoa
saved two persons from drowning within
the past three weeks. The first rescue was
that of n girl named Annie Ginley. She was
playing on her father’s lioat at Big Basin.
As Dugan's boat and Old Joe came along
the gin fell into the cunnl. Before any
other aid could be given to her the
horse plunged in the water, seized tho
girl's dress in hii teeth, swam with her clear
across the basin, where the bonk was low,
and clambered oat with her. He refused to
swim back, and had to be token from the
tow line and driven a mile back to a bridge.
The second reacne was that of the boy
who driven him on the canal. The boy was
wrestling yesterday with another boat boy-
on the tow path, and was thrown into tin-

An Oyster Two Feet Long.
Chicago Herald.
■The largest oyster in the world,” U the
placard hanging npon a aheU in Chapin A
Uore'a window. This shell is only two
feet long and about twenty inches wide. It
wonld hold several gaUons of water. It
once contained an oy ster, and a half dozen
like him, fried in crambo, would feed the
Chicago police force a square lunch. Some
people do not believe that the big aheU ever
held an oyster, bnt it did. It is coUed the
K rl oyster, and its shell is lined with
ntifnl pearl, sometimes white ami some
times blood red. This oyster grows in
tropical countries and it is from hia shell
tliat the mothCT-of-peari of commerce
comes. He is too large and rank for the
table.
