made, with all the latest improvements.
His bars are steel rails. The enterprising
proprietor estimates that the road will pay
a handsome interest on the investment
from the atari, as it will not be burdened
oirh high, salaried officers, aud his own
lreights will more than pay the operating
expenses. He will run jlaiiy achcduhs
and bring the United States mail. The

building. This was one of the oldest ana
best buildings In Striven, being, per!in{s,

A Mr. Wall, representing a Northern
picture-enlarging house, is in trouble in

which ho was to deliver about this time.
Among his patrons was Mrs. Weir, wife ol
our sheriff, who had given him a picture
of her husband to enlarge, md return
early that she might give to her husband
as a Christmas present.' One day last week
Mr. Wall went to deliver the picture, but
it was such a wretched botch that his wile
refused to accept it, and to told him, but
he replied that she must not blame him,
but the people for whom he was working.
The discussion was kept op in this strain
for some time, when Mrs. Weir told him
that she would not take the picture oti ac
count of its imperfections, anu to show him
that it was not a lack of money that kept
her from taking the picture, went to her
liocket book and taking therefrom two five-
dollar bills, showed them to him, and, by
some means, he got bis hands on the mouey,
said “good money’’ and walked out of the
house. The sheriff was notifiedof the fact,
a warrant was issued, and Mr. Wall ar
rested, tried and bound over under a $50
bond.
The following very touching atory in
connection with the superior court pro
ceedings of Muscogee is related by the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Wm. Ivey,
who was indicted on a charge of assault
with intent to bill, was tried on lhursdiy.
It will be remembered that about the end
of last September Ivey shot a fellow named
Moodey several times. The occurrence
took place at Brown's factory, and the con-
tinual annoyance Moodey gase Ivey, by
catling niciuuusa, W the e*"*» I»*v
flit very ibly defended by Col. C. J.
Thornton, lie left nothing undone to cl»sr
his client, ihe jury found the prisoner
guilty of “shooting at another, not in hia
owndefenseaud not justifiable by law."
Tbe prisoner, who has been lying in jail
since the shooting, was sentenced yesterday
afternoon. During the past two days his
blind mother and his faithful and loving
wife sat despondently and sadly by his
side. He is their only support and the
sight touched the hearts of evcrybidy.
When Ivey was called op for sentence the
old woman wept pitifully. Before the
judg* passed sentence,Col. Thornton asked
{cave to introduce testimony as to the
character of the prisoner. Several promi
nent citizens were sworn and testifie i to
Morrill, the clerk and Sheriff Burt us then
held a consultation. The generous hearted
gentlemen decided at once to give the $20
to old Mrs. Ivey and pay the costs them
selves. When tho money was handed to
tile old lady she attempted to thank the
gentlemen bat was so overcome by grateful
emotions that she hurst into tears. There
was hardly a dry eye in the court room.
Amcricus is jubilant over the prospect
of another new enterprise for the mantt
factureof pottery of all kinds. LastSit-
urday Mr. A. J. Ilamil, who will conduct
the enterprise, purchased from lion. Du
Pont Guerry some fiftv or sixty acres of
jand on Muckalec creeic near the city, ami
jut north of Magnolia Dell. Upon this
land is an inexhaustible supply of the
finest quality of clay, suitable for the uian-
uftclureof brick, tiling, terra cotta and
pottery of all kinds. The clay has been
carefully examined by experts, who un
hesitatingly pronounce it tho finest that
they ever saw.
The following beautiful exhibition of
wr manly tenderntst and charity occurred
on a Western and Atlantic train recently.
As ihe Marietta train rolled outof Atlanta
there was among the passengers an old
woman, accompanied by three children.
The woman showed that she was in need,
and when the conductor came around she
told him she had no money and begged
him to pa>-s her to Marietta. Ttie con
ductor toil] her ho could not do this. The
woman’s entreaties attracted tho attention
of the other passengers, and after the con
ductor left her a beautiful young lady
arose from her scat and proceeded to the
old woman’s side. The poor creature was
crying at the prospect of being pul off, but
the young lady epoko kindly to her, and
told her that she would ste that her fare
was paid to Marietta. Th8 young lady
l/en Fought tho conductor and pruffered
him the money, at which a half dozen
men brought out their pocketbooks and
offered to pay the fare of tho woman, but-
tho young lady refused to let them do so,
claiming it as her privilege to pay the
fare, which she did. She then took her
seat ns if nothing had happened out of the
usual runof things, while the old woman’s
face beamed with the gratitude that filled
her heart. It is said that the young lady
resides in Marietta.
A brief dispatch in yesterday’s Telk-
okai'h announced the death of a little
Augusta girl who had been accidentally
shot by her drunken father. The follow
ing additional details of tho sad tragedy
are from the Augusta Evening News: “A
horrible accident occurred Wednesday
afternoon on the south sideof Green street,
near the cast boundary, in which a drunken
father accidentally killed his 12-year-old
daughter. Mr. James Blaldon is a car
penter and just removed to Augusta a
week- ago with his wife and seven small
children, from Edgefield, where for several
years he was marshal. Mr. Bladdcn, who
is about 27 years old, went home iutoxi-
cated last evening and went into a room
where several of his children were playing
and took an old armr rifle, a sixteen
shooter he had since the war,
and told them he wai going to
load it. Mrs. liladikm. knowing her
husband was drunk, ordered Maggie, her
daughter, to leave the room. The dutiful
Child toot her little mother in her arm
and went into the next room, which was
only divided from the room her father
was in by a tno-inch plank partition.
Maggie, wilh her little brother foully
clasped iu her arms, fat on the l-r.d j.la_"
ing. Suddenly the rifle was accidentally
fired and the bullet passed through the
partition and the head of the bed and
struck Maggie, the beautiful daughter, in
tbe abdomen, tearing out her entrails, but,
remarkable to state, her little brother, who
was still in her arm-, was uninjured. Soou
jfler the shooting of Msggie was discov
ered the Jtunken father, upon seeing the
result oi his ipree, wept bitterly. The
little girl lingered, suffering intense pain,
for two hours after she was shot, when she
died. Before dying Maggie look her
father’s hand anil forgave him, saying he
did it unintentionally, and her last words
were spSkcn to her father, when she asked
him to “take heed to his dying little girl's
request and not to drink any more."

Cigarette smoking has become so preva
lent among our boys that Its deadly bane
has led some of our legislatures to pass
acts “prohibiting tho sale of cigarettsor
tobacco in any ol Us forms to minors."
Dr. Hammond says: “Cigarettes pro
duce facial nenralgiv,. Insomitiis, nervous
dyipepsia, sciatica and an indisposition to
mental exertion.”
Cigarettes are beginning to overshadow
all other branches of the tobacco business,
and our most eminent physicians agree in
condemning cigarette smoking as one of
the most destructive evils that ever befell
our youth, and declare that its direct
tendency is a deterioration of the race.
Even females who call themselves ladies
habitually use cigarettes. Tbe New York
Tribune asserts: “Thb extent to which
drugs are used in cigarettes Is appalling.
Feature* ot tho Fighting.
London, Dec. £0.—A dixpoteh from
Suakim 6A)s:
The feature of the fighting was the de
termined rush upon the trenches by the
blacks Hnd Egyptians. The dervishes fought
with the utimn. bravery, a great many of
them dyiug in the trenches.
The charge of the Hussars is also specially
mentioned. When the dervish cavalry
saw them coming they dismounted
from their horses and planted
their spears in the ground, but
these proved no obstruction to the Hussars,
who swept down upon the dervish horsmen
like an avalanche, cut through their ranks
and left half of them dead ou the ground.
The Hussars then reformed and charged tbe
remaining dervishes, who tied.
A large portion of the rebel force was not
engaged in today's fighting, being absent
camping at Handoub and at wells beyond
that place. It is believed the rebels will be
reinforced and will make an attempt soon to
retake their lost position.
As Seen by a Correspondent.
LONDON, Dec. 20.—-The Standard's cor*
respondent at Suakim sends the following
particulars of tbe battle:
At 4:30 this morniug the man of-war
Racer opened the battle by shelling the en
emy’s trenches. The ships up the coast fed-
fowed suit and landed parlies, who lighted
fires and placed the dummies in position.
This bad the effect of deceiving the enemy
coming from liandoub. The whole force
moved toward the enemy’s left Hank with
the naval detsu liment with machine guns,
cavalry and mounted infantry scouting and
protecting the Hanks and rear. The two
lines comprising the battalions in the double
companies rushed toward the left corner of
the enemy'8 trenches, the British infantry
and Egyptian reserve lining the embank
ment between the water forts. Gen. Green-
fell and statT occupied a position to the left
of tho water forts. From 5 o'clock the guns
and mortars from every point bore on the
trenches.
The Official Keport,
London, Dec. 20.—An official dispatch
from’Qcn. Grcenfell dated Suakim, 11:25 a.
m., says:
The enemy’s loss was 400. The Hussars
arc still pursuing the Arabt*. The trenchei
are nearly tilled aud two temporary redoubt
are btduv, btiifc -lbe joint force* are en
trenched. They will bivouac on the field
tonight, the naval detachment with the
chine guns remaining in the trenches.
I have sent the oian-of-war Starling and
the available steamers to anchor oil Hun-
doub in order to preveut the force from
Handoub coming upon us during the action.
Tin. dervishes were so severely punished
that we expect to have a quiet night.
Si’aUM, ArtRHNOON.—The Hussars who
followed the lleeing Arabs have returned.
They chased the cnemv to a point within
four miles of Handoub. The enemy were
still flying.
Wliat the Prisoner* Say.
London, Dec. 20.—A dispatch to the
Times from Suakim says:
The prisoners Bay that they believe that
all the mounted gunners were killed. All
tell the same story of privation, and cruelty
at the bauds of the Mandi aud Osman Digna.
None of them wished to fight, but were
forced to do so or were persuaded to fight
by promises of loot at Suakim, and other ic-
M.tr.U.
The trenches were barred. They found
no food, clothing or money, but only 8nyder
rifles aud cartridges. The prisoners know
hi 1. "f th»* n portfd rapture «»f 1 .in
of the fall of tho equatorial provinces. Tbe
natives assert that Handoub Would fall at
the first approach of our troops. The gov
ernment ought not to lose this chance. Tbe
task is an easy one, as there is not tlx*
slightest sign of any gathering of local
tribes.

on experimenting ior over ten months, but, in-
btesd of getting better, the child K ot worse, aud
X did not know what course to pamuo. M> wf>
took her, after we had paid *11 wo could liquid
for medicHl treatment, to a medical << l.ejje
where tbero were some twenty or thirty d< ctors
BSMinbled. Bat Ihe cue baffled them *22. .My
wife Had to go every day, and boo.ell
a day. in fact tho medicine they g
did not have time t.L*tt. even if t ...
virtue in it, it was changed so often by
of the doctors. The latter part of J, nuary, after
e\c. ytblug ha l failed, and patience and money
were both exhausted, I mode up my mind te
quit all doctoring and try tho Cniicora Remo
dies. I did so, aud now I can say that m
daughter is cured, sound in health, and well, t
the surprise of hundreds.
The druggist. Mr. u. M. Krneger. come
Chau tea u and Ewiog avenues, who told us the
Cuticara Remedies, is as much astonished as any
of us. Tho Cuticura Remedies have worked a
complete cure, aud we have used but a little
more than three-fourth of a bottle of Cutk ura
Resolvent, and a proportionate amount of cuti-
curaand Cuticura Soup. I am rtad> at any time
to make ailidavil that my daughter had the
worst case ol eczema, as the doctors all admit,
evers en iu this city, and that she htd been,
cured solely by tbe Cuticura Remedies, after the
best plmlciuiisaud remedies failed.
I shall bo glad to have any one call upon or
write me who has a child ►tmllarly afflicted, or
auy person who is t.oubled wi.h a skin disease*
that he may see for himself what your Cuticura.
Remedks have done. I do this In gratitude
for the cure that has been effected in my child's
case. C1IAB. B. BKUNOLD,
