As stated last week, there was a shooting

miles from town, Monday of last wtek, b -
tween the road fiands. We have been in
formed that the hand were put in a field
on the side of the road to throw dirt into
the road. Some obj ctions were raised by
Lcslje Steele, a son of Mr. M. A Steele,
who owns tlie land. Angry words passed
between Charlie Medloek, the overseer,
and Leslie, and ended in a fight. While
this was going on, a negro, who was en
couraging tho light, was pdd by Mr. Peavy
to shut up. They had some words, and the
negro called on Ins tirotner, who forthwith
drew n pistol. By this time nearly ail tlie
hands had crowded up, and Mr. ltoberson,
attempting to quell the disturbance, was
fellow wo called Jim pulled a i fired upon, the ball striking him in the
breast, out failed to penetrate, making
only a slight bruise. The negro skipped

r voong. native
keep ut. with the ’band «
country, have given a touching and prac
tical proof of the intimate relations which
tlie brotherhood of art lias fostered between
the two great English-speaking nations
of the world. Upon Miss Mary Anderson’s
acting in “The Winter’s Tale” it is un
necessary to dwell. Foe one hundred
nnd sixty-six nights intellectual audiences
have thronged the theatre to lie delighted
by the grace and originality, the power and
refined pathos of her impersonation of the
luckless Herntiotie, and Perdita, sweetest
of rn:lie princesses. On Saturday evening
—whether prompted by natural excite
mcnl or by n determination to make las
impressions the moat favorable, aud u
vanquish the sorrow of parting by a heroic
tributeof gratitude to tier English friend
—Miss Anderson played with unparalleled
spirit and intensity. Never before had the
equaled the spleuuid dramatic ring given
to Hermionc’s impassioned appeal
to the Oracle; never had
she Bhown in such winning
manner the bright, innocent merriment of
Perdita, as, with happy abandon, she
tripped, lightest of revellerB, with l'lorizel
in the shepherds dunce, mingling snatches
of song with joyous laughter, pure as the
hill stream that rippled in the foreground
of Mr. Ilawcs Craven’s pastoral scene.
Every actor and actress worked in har
mony with the chief, and the filial render
ing of tlie play will long be remembered.
Tho greatest enthusiasm prevailed
throughout. Repeatedly called before the
curtain, Miss Andersen was almost over
whelmed by the warmth of her reception
and the beautiful wreaths and
bouquets that were showered upon
her. When at length the end
came, the gifted actress who had shed
such luster both on English literature ami
Americnn art appeared on the stage sur
rounded by all the ladies and gentlemen of
her company, and a iccne of excitement
ensued such ns is rerely seen in a London
theater. The entire audience arose from
their coats aud cheered vehemently, wav
ing hats and handkerchiefs, and casting
more (lowers at the feet of tbe beauteous
‘ Hcrmione,” who was no nioie to he tin-
victim of “Ireonten’ ” jealousy. Ag^in
a,,d again was the smiling uclresj sum
moned, ami after a feeble effort to avoid
making a speech, Miss Anderson addressed
her friends in the following words, sfiokcn
with evident emotion:
“Ladies and Gentlemen: Kince I first
came among you, five years ago, you have
so ioaue.i me witu proofs of your sympa
thy and kindness, that I should indeed be
ungrateful if I diil not feel deeply my
parting from you. That a play so classical
should in the nineteenth centery have had
the long-sl run since tlie great m later cre
ated it J00 years ago speaks mnehsfor the
refined taste of the London public. It
seems so hard to say good-by hut I hope
to tie back again in a year or so, with pos
sibly another Shakespearean production
In the meantime, my friends, I thank you
a thousand ami a thousand tim.s for all
your kindness.”
At the close of l- -r address an ardent ad
niirer in the galh ry shouted, “God ble-i

“The position of cook in our railroad
camp is not one that any ol the fellows
hanker after.”
.So spake a strapping fellow yesterday,
who »:is enjoying some of the luxuries of
city life after roughing it for several
weeks, working upon one of our new rail
roads.
“There’s been so mnch fault found with
the cook that we have made a rule under
which the first man finding fault with the
food it obliged to fill the cook’s place aud
keep it until relieved by another kicker.
“After inanv of tho boys,” lie continued,
“hail had a whack at the cooking there
was less fault-finding,—not that there was
any pmprovcinrnt in tho culinary depart
ment, hilt simply because the boys would
all rather go out to work after a poor
breakfast than stay in camp to get dinner
ready. The cook for the timo being had
the woret of it, we thought.;
“Our cook thought so, too. At last lie
mail up his mind to get out of his billet.
His little scheme'was revealed one morn-

us a very peculiar jug yesterday that was
washed out of an Indian gravo on the
bank of thaOcmnlgee river, together with
htum.it bones, during the freshet of 1887.
The jug will hold probably three p ntsand
is in the shape nf a cymiing with a short
neck. The neck of tlie jug is about four
inches long, covered at the top with
jtointed cap and tins a hole in the side of
tlie neck from which doubtless many a
drink of “fire water” found its way down
the gooxlo of tho red man in whose grave
|L was i-tciicl. This peculiar j'tigiicVer
had a handle, hut tlie neck is stout and
shaped with a view to suspending it with a
strap or cord. This relic of the red men is
probably more titan a hundred years old,
as the exi-t-me of the grave from which
tho waters exhumed it was unknown to the
oldest inhabitant* of thissectiom The jug
is in a state of perfect preservation, and it
no mishap befalls it, hid* fair to do aervicc
for many generations tn come.

It raa? norm Htmuge to a pood many of
our readers, Liu tbe mule colt brought into
town last Saturday morning by Mr. Jordan
Korrii| was a sight which :t good many of
the citizens of the town had never seen be
fore. Then* an* a plenty of these long
eared beauties now in the country with a
gKxl prospect for more, and tho sight of
them upon our streets willnotbea novelty
much longer. This is a good sign. War
ren county vxependfl annually over fifteen
thousand dollars for stock, all of which
might be raised at a maximum cost of five
thousand dollars,tliui saving to the county
ten thousand dollars annually. When the
county shall raise all of her stock then she
will have made :i might* stride in the line
of progress, and when the people begin to
raise something t > feed the colts on, this
will te another step in the line of prog

Am Am.rlcun >1 (-reliant Who Doe* Not
llellevo tn Unnk*.
From the Americas Republican.
Americus lias a merchant who believes
little in banks, or at least one would nat
urally judge so.
The party referred to does n very large
bu-iu'ess. and his cash sales run as high,
5-r.ili.tl.lv, a- that --f any merchant in tin-
city. Notwithstanding this he keeps all
his cash in an old fashioned safe in the
rear of his store, and was never known to
have kept a hank account anywhere. He
pays spot cash for everything he buys, and
whenever a bank collector goes to him
with a draft lie always carries a shot sack
along to bring back the silver in. It is
needless to say that such a merchant is
rated “A 1” and that a vision of the sheriff
never haunts his peaceful dreams.

From the Athens Ilanner.

and i* the guest of Mr. Rufus Reaves.
The death of a brother prevented Mr. Nat
Harris, Col. Machen’s lawyer, from meet
ing tlie contractors in Athens yesterday;
but he says that so soon as the contractors
agree among themselves on terms of settle
ment, he is ready, with tbe money, to meet
all just claims’. Of course there is no
longer doubt about the completion of tlie
M. A K n at a very early dale, and_ Col.
Machen is the hero of the hour in railroad
circles. He represents the victor in two
hundred Uw .nit. and twenty iniunetintu.
for just so many have been brought against
his young road.
