were about completed when the Wilson

McDonough Weekly: Everybody in a
doz-in miles of town knows Tom Lofton, a
gentleman from Africa, who never lets an
opportunity pass to fill himself np on bug
juice. After figuring around Flippen one
day last week until about 10 o’clock at night
he started down the railroad for bis home.
Before he had gone a great way he was over
come by the soporific |iLllueuces of the tan-
oczs, and perched himself on the end of a
croastio and began to snoczt The apiritnal
oomfort began to nnlimber him, and he un
coiled at full length alongside of the rail.
Sc completely had Johnnie Barleyocrn g »t
possession ot his internal improvements
that he did not wake np until next luorniDg.
He then'got slowly up and, looking aronnd,
found the tail ot his claw-hammer cost
gone. There, on (he railroad track, lsy his
coat-tail, which had been cot off by a pass-
iug freight train. The tail of the coal was
cut as smoothly off as if it had been done
by a tailor's shears.
Gamming Clarion: We are informed by
Sir. S Terry, who spent last week in Bu
ford. of a case which rivals the celebrated
Lnla Hurst. He, in company with a well
known minister of that place, visited the
home of a Utile girl 9 years old, aod who is
rather undersized. Tney had heard of the
child's powers and desired to pnt them to
test. Mr. Terry ssw the child lay one hand
on the top of a table and move aronnd the
room with it as though it wero a mere play
thing. An ordinay child of that age
oonld hardly have moved the table atari.
Mr. Terry, who is quite inneculur, then
took hold of a atont stick, grasping it at
each end; the child placed her hands on the
stiek in the middle, and before he knew it
the stick waa wrenched ont of hia grasp.
This experiment was tried a second time,
Mr, Terry <xerting his whole strength to
hold it, with the same result. A door,
which fastened with a button, was then
closed tnd a person placed outside to push
against it By nimpiy placing her handa
on the door the bu-.tou gradually moved
until the door was nnfaattned. It is said
that when she loaches the wall that a per
son placing his ear against the opposite
aide can hear a clicking aonnd resembling
the noise made by a telegraph instrument.
It is stated, and oan bs proven, that small
atones freqnently full in showers aronnd
her while she is in the boos*. No one can
tell where they come from. Also, that in
whatever part of a room she iaio a popping
aonnd ia heard apparently in the wood.
These are only a few of the feats tb* ebitd
is able to perform. She hta bad health and
is not considered bright, bnt there can bs
no sort of donbt as to her powers.
