A man can scarcoly travel at night in this couutry os well as around Valdosta without being attacked on the wuy by some scoundrel. Some days ago, Jack Alien, a son of Judge J. R. Allen, living near tho Alapuha river, between Naylor and Stockton, was going from his home to his brother-in-law's who lived about a mile distant. On getting to the corner of tho fence, near a branch, some one stepped into the road from out the bushes and struck at Mr. Allen with a large club, knocking his hat off his diead, but before he could make the second strike, Jack fled, getting home safo. He felt quite thankful to his Maker. Some time later Mr. I. J, Edmondson wont to Valdosta to sell some cotton for some neighbors and on retnrning home some one followed him from tho river swamp near his house before they stopped, and thnt night they were standing near his yard gate. Mr. Edmun- son was soon informed of it und on going out with some members of bis family they Haw them stoop down and walk off us fast as possiblo. It was supposed that it was some one that had seen him with the money during the day and tried to overtake him, or some one knew he was going to town that day to sell cotton, and d.d not know the exact route he might come, und to be sure of him they would go to his home early in the night and catch him out, knock him down, and take his money, Everything worked well in Mr. Edmon son's favor, He sold his neighbors' cotton for a good price, returned home safe and turned the money over to them.—Valdos ta Times. A HEALTHY YARN, THE S. D. & W. H. R. What President I.lnderinaa Said to the Amerlcus People. Thursday night Kon. A B. Linderman, president of the Savannah, Dublin and Weston railroad, arrived in Americas. He was greetod by a few people who took an active Interest in the road, and who were willingto take a tew risks as to wheth er he meant business or not Mr. Linderman hud not been in Ameri- ens six hours before be convinced all liis hearer* that he meant business. He did not want nny public meetiug, or any speeches, but simply wanted to meet tbe people, tnlk to them, and find out what they thought of his proposed railroad. While in Americns he was the guest of Hon. J. B. Felder, to whom be conversed very freely about the road. As is well known, the people of Americas are skepti cal os to any road from Savannah to Arneri- cus, as it is too good a thing to dream about. Mr. Linderman said, in conversation with Mayor Felder: Felder, it I am a man, and have any truth about me, if there is any flesh on my hones, that road is as sure of being built as the sun shines.” He made the same statement to other parties, and showed why he believed it. lie has two nephews under age, and he is tiie guardian for them. The road issnre to pay a good dividend, and he believes it s profitable investment HU nephews are worth (19,000,000 in their own right, and he proposes to put somo of the money in the road. He talks sqnare and honest and is a pleasant and affable gentleman. He made a good impression on all the people he met, and left yesterday afternoon with a prom ise of returning in April. There seems to bn n good deal of business about the scheme.—Americns Recorder. A few years after the war shut np, and while desolation still clung to the people, I, then a young man, fresh from a four year's solo in tho army of Northern Virginia, de cided that I would go to Savannah and see if Sherman had left enough of it to live in. I arrived in Macon at 3 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon. It was n beautiful day, and ns the Savannah train did not leave until abont 8 o'clock p. m. I decided to go np town and look aronnil. It was my first trip to Ma con, anil I was pretty green to boot, and am yet, for that matter. I had read of tho Isaacs House, kept on the European plan, but I didn't know what that meant. Feeling hungry, I inquired of a low, chunky individual the way to the honse kept by Mr. Isaacs. I did not like the man's looks, but thought it unnecessary to tell him so on such short acquaintance. He offered to show me the way to the house, and together we proceeded np town. It was located on Cherry street between Third and the Ocmulgee river. On the way my guide was talkative, and finally in- qnired if I was acquainted in Macon. 1 told him no, but mentioned a man who years before, lived in Albany, who hod moved to Macon, since which time I had never heard from him. He knew him well, and also knew that my friend would lie delighted to see me. Arriving at the Isaacs Honse, I thanked aim for hi* kin ness, went in, ordered din ner and ate it. When I came ont, bo was sitting in front of the hotel, and began talk- ing about my friend whom I bad not seen in so many years. Pausing over to the corner of Third and Cherry, I asked him if he would not take something to drink. Of course he would, and we found * hole in the wall not far off, and entered. Inside we found an elegantly equipped bar and sev eral men standing about, some smoking, some drinking and somo looking on. 1 ordered drinks for three, my guido having called np a very' tall, heavy-built man. not very prepossessing in appear- anoe, whom he introduced as Colonel , I forget the name. This individual was a man of better address than my gnide, and, drank his liquor in a way that showed he used to that sort of thing. He too, knew my friend, and also knew that he would be rejoiced to see me. In paying for the drinks, I bad to expose a considerable roll of bills, amounting to fifty dollars or more, and while I was receiving back some change,JI caught four grecdy-looking eyes riveted on the roll. Turning partly around I thrust the roll of bills linto a little pocket in my shirt, just under my arm, and bade them good evening, remark ing thut I would return to the depot That was on their route home, they said, ami they would walk that far with mo. On the way to the depot they nrged me to stay over and spend a few days with my friond, and mentioned tow sadly disappointed ho wonld be when he beard I had passed through without calling on him. At tbe depot they continued in the same strain. It was getting dark, and the "Colonel,” tnrniug to me, after a short silence, said: “You might as well make up your mind to remain over a few days. Your friend lives jnst ucross the bridge, in East Macon, and os we are going that way, we will take pleasure in snowing von the house.” I hod not told them positively that I would not remain. The train would soon leave. Telling them I would be bock in n few moments, I walked np in the direction of the engine. As I reachod the engine, I partly turned my head and saw the smaller of the two stealthily following me. Quick ening my pace, I gained the door of tho l ag gage car on the opposite side, leaped in aud went back through the train to the passenger coach, where I stretched ont on a seat In a few moments the villian passed along, looking in each window as he pass ed. 1 saw him walk hack to the “Colonel," to whom, I suppose, be mode his report, and just then the tram rolled ont for Sa- vannab, leaving my would-be assassins standing looking after it, hoping, doubtless, that I might make my appearance after it left. Home yean later, I visited Macon and met the friend whom they aonght to nse as s decoy. He lived up above First street, and informed that he had never resided in East Macon. Then cariosity led me to visit the bridge. I found it all that a mur derer could desire on * dark night. More yean railed away, and I was in Macon again. One Sunday morning as I stood gazing nt Swamp Molly and her al leged husband, as they lay aide by aide un der a shed at the city hall, with their heads nearly severed from their bodies and sev eral deadly knife wounds in their breasts, I wondered if it was the work of the two men who were once so anxiotu for me to remain over a few days. And later on, when I read of old man Stinson being de coyed to Bose Hill cemetery, murdered and thrown in the river, I again wondered if my friends (?» were still »t work.

An Licit Ing Chase In the Swariup After the Prisoners. On Tuesday night the prisoners confined in juil at this place mode their escape. There wore six prisoners confined here, one charg ed with crimini&l cruelty to his child, one charged with bog stealing, one charged with stealing a mule nnd wagon, an Irish man charged with stealing money, a negro woman under sentence to tho penitentiary for hog stealing, and the notorious negro desperado, Bill Garvin, who was charged with the most shocking cold-blooded mur der ever committed in Burke county. The officers immediately set ont to sconr the county in the attempt to reeapture the prisoners, nnd on Wednesday night the deduty sheriff in company with Mr. Lee Dixon nnd bailiff Ward, of tbe IVtth district discovered Garvin asleep by a fire in Sazan nnh river swamp, guarded by a large, fierce bull-dog. When the party approached with in a short distance of Garvin's camp, the dog gave the alarm and rushed upon him. Zorn ran towards the fire, and when the dog dashed upon him fired one barrel of his gun over the dog, instead of into him, to scare him. Alt this racket awoke Gar- pin and he seized his double barrel gun nnd prepared for battle. Zorn told to him not to move or ho would shoot him. Gor- vin replied that he had better lookout for himself, or be would shoot too, and threw his gun to his face. Zorn fired, followed by the fire of Garvin so close thnt tho reports of the two guns wore Scarcely distinguished. Zorn thinks he hit Garvin in tho breast, und he says he haw him fall, butothers who have been in pursnit of him ull day Thurs day and Friday are of the opinion that he was not hurt, and only fell as a blind. Springing to his feet, Ganrin made his es- capo in the thick conebreak under cover of the intense darkness ot the night.— Waynesboro Citzen. THE OAT CROP. Camilla, January 10.—Tbe recent cold and freezing spell of weather was the se verest daring the last half century. I am hopeful this morning, however, that the damage done to vegetation, oats especially, is not oqual to that done by cold spells and freezing less severe in former years. I have jnst examined several stalks ot oats and I feel confident thnt they are liot, killed so completely so os to prevent the making of nn average crop, with seasona, etc., in tbe future. I think the explanation is the mod erately cold winter and henos the absence of much sap. I am aware just st this time public opinion is against my conclusion as to tbe damage done the oat crop. It is on important crop and I hope I am correct. Tho three-story “Hotel Georgia" is near ing completion, bat in consequence of bed weather it will not be completed by the first of February, perhaps, but will be ready for occupancy soon thereafter. Mr. Duy, to whom it has keen leased for. five yours, expects to fill it with northern tour ists and health-seekers soon after its open ing. It will be, when completed, * beauti ful bnilding and an ornament to our little growing town, and much of its thrift and rapid growth owing to the enterprising company of J. 8. Jones A Bro. Mr. \V.

The officers were duly installed on Thurs day night. The farmers have pretty generally ar ranged for another crop. The rent plan be ing tho most popular, aa the conclusion come to is, tkore is less loss than in the wages system.

On both sides of the building stood valuable property, and by the ©ament efforts of our citizt ntt aud tbe fact that there wua no wind blowing the burning was con fined to the old hall.

Brown for 1885 says that thore has been paid into the State treasury during tho poat year on nccoant of fines for violations ot the dairy laws, more particularly those re lating to the manufacture and sale of oleo margarine, 12,288.81. Ur. Brown lays he hee been somewhat retarded in his work by the advene decisions of the conrta, as in what i« known as the Uerx ease, in which it woe held that the law prohibiting the sals and mannfsetnre of olaagtnona •ab idances, other than that made from pare milk or cream,and designed to take the place of bntter, was uneonatltutlonnl. “This decision,’" he uys, “hoe worked to the disadvantage of tboee who bare been nnx- ion* to suppress tbe sale of sparionasrticloe of the character mentioned. Dealer* in imitations hara in many Instance, boldly defied even the law, that ore, beyond qneg. lion, valid. Notwithstanding these obsta cle, much has boon done to bring offend er, to jaatice. There are now npword of 200 com# in the courts. Many careful teats have been and are continually being mode throughout ths State, which tally enstain the correctneee ot the milk standard estab lished by tho seta of 1884. Although the nale of imitation bntter baa been reduced in this State the aalee in the United Stater, an a whole, have materially increased since 1883." The report cites Buffalo aa the commu nity most groeely im{tosed upon by milk dealers. Of 254 sample, of milk analyzed there 180 were adulterated. The report in clude, a paper from Dr. R. D. Clark, of this city, enumerating circumstances that vaiy the amount of fat in milk, snch as breed, age, and food ot cattle. He gives the beet butter-producing age of the cow, the influ ence of. temperature end fat upon the quan tity and quality of milk, and the 'governing principles and physiological lavs appertain ing thereto. Dr. Clark gives it as liis opin ion that oleomargarine ia dangerous to health because it ia indigestible, is insolu ble when' mod# from animal fate, and is liable to carry ths germs of diaeas. into the human system, and because ia the eager ness ot manufacturers to prodnoe the apu rions compound cheaply, IngretlienU enter into it which an detrimental to the lost degree to the consumer', health. The re port further gives a list of the anbetanees used in the manafsetan of imitation but ter aa follows: Borax, salicylic acid, ben zole acid, glycerins, slam, cows' oddei,, sulphuric acid.
