There are now about two hundred

rapidly as circumstances will permit
At Mr. Qnarterman’a store, in Mill-
wood, they have caged a six-foot rat
tlesnake. He is a watchfol sentinel,
and gives notice of the approach of
anyone into the store by vigorously
shaking his (ranch' of rattles.
The Savannah, Florida and West

Another streak of poisoned water
is visible slong the Gulf coast similar
to that of a few years ago. Thous

strange phenomenon.
Travelers with baggage are now
allowed one hundred and fifty pounds
on full fare tickets and seventy-five
pounds on half fare tickets on the
railroads. All over the above named
weights will be turned over to the ex

charged for the same.
A violent type of fever has made
its appearanoe in Matamoras, which
proves to be yeilow fever and is at
tended with the usual black vomit,
a number of deaths ore reported.
A heavy quarantine has been put on.
against all the seaboard towns' of
Texas that have had intercourse by
water with Matamoras. u ‘
A Savannah man has accomplished
the bat of writing over eight han
dred words on one postal card and
that so legibiy that Bra Richardson
was able to discover three mistakes in
the spelling. We are of the opinion
that there is agentlemsn in Dorchester
Liberty county, who can write just
ten words more on a postal than any
other man in the State.
About four hundred additional
money order offices are to be estab
lished on the 7th of August, and in
the long list we find the following
Georgia names: Bartow, Boston, Ca
toosa Springs, Ellijsy, Greensboro,
Waycross and Waynesboro. The
money order system is self-sustaining
and popular, and there should be
many more offices in Georgia than
there are now.
The citizens of Waycross are on the
high horse because their wishes have
been ignored, and their postmistress,
Miss Shine, discharged, and Mrs.
Mnrphy appointed instead. They
propose purchasing their stamps else
where and mailing their lettero on the
train, thus starving ont the new oocu
pant, as the office is not a salaried
one, and the postmistress is paid by
the sale and cancelling of stamps.—
Tnis is oertainly a new way of bring
ing Uncle Sam to “taw." Wouldn’t
it be a little surprise to the people of
that town if the office should be dis
continued singether? Snob a
is witbiu the range of possibilities.
It is alleged that among the Newell
papers relating to the Texas Padfio
land grant is a transcript bom the
books of the railroad company show
ing that one million dollars in bonds
were distributed among members of
the House, while four Senators were
given $200,000 in bonds and $62,000
in cash. The names and amounts
are given, and it is further stated
that three of the four Senators are
still in Congress, while but four of
the thirty Bepresenatives remain.
bom Chattanooga to Dalton only one

State Bond. From there trains will
run via Dalton to Atlanta, thus cut
ting off bom the State Bo ad North'
era freights and travel, while the oth
er tines will monopolize the freight
and passenger tariff bom other di
rections. Five years from date one
train each way will do the business of
the State Boad, and ten years from
to-day the people of Georgia will be
taxed to keep it in repair. Politicoes
and others who worked for this char
ter will live to regret it—Borne Tri
bune.
Our Borne contemporary may be
right in his predictions, bnt we think
he is inolined to draw the picture
rather darker than necessary. We
do not consider that the State Boad
by any means stands in as precarious
a position as be would have ns be
lieve. Because a new new line be
opened up in competition with an old
one, is no reason why it should mo
nopolize the entire business. We be
lieve that the new line will serious ef
fect tho business of both the State
Boad and the Central, but not by any
means to the amount mentioned
above. Joe Brown's lease does not
expire for several years .yet, daring
which time the State is oertainly se
cure against loss, and we believe old
Joe is decidedly too smart to permit
any such disastrous occurrences as
foreshadowed above. We are inclined
to think that our contemporary's
prophetic eye has a dark spot on it

Mr. H. S. Holden, of Macon, has
recently invented a waterwheel which
would ran in any depth under water
or halfway out of it The Telegraph
and Messenger says of it: “We have
thoroughly examined the wheel and
find it to be all that is daimed for it
by the inventor. It is very simple
in construction, yet it can be put in
any stream of water either one or
twenty feet deep, and runs at any
speed desired. By a simple con-
contrivance it can be stopped readily
from any story of the mill or faotory.
The Wheel is intended solely for
streams, particularly rivers. It will
be made from five to 160 horse power,
and will famish the motive power for
any kind of manufactory. Among
its many great advantages may be
tioned that neither high nor low
water affects it, and it will ran just as
well daring a freshet as when the
stream is in its normal condition.
If Mr. Holden’s water wheel is
what is claimed for it we may soon
hope to utilize all of the water courses
in the country and our tide waters as

i Editor AdvertiBer and Appeal
Would you and your readers of the
ooastlike to spend an imaginary hour
in this lovely tall-country? -Stand
with me in fancy just here before the
courthouse and let your eye rove
over the billowy ranges of wood and
field so vividly green near the town,
fading into deeper and deeper blue
toward the sweep of the horizon.
Ton will not long for your sea-breeze
while yon feel the mountain air which
oomes from the distant Bine Ridge.
Yonder are the last spurs of that long
chain—Lost moan tain and Eennesaw.
The latter, yon know, was rendered
famous daring the “late unpleasant
ness.” Between its two-peaks, one
rising above the other, is the grave of
the Indian chief, Eennesaw. The
story is told that a hunter, roaming
the woods in search of game shot nt
a deer as he supposed, and found too
late, that he bad killed his chief hunt
ing disguised in a deer skin. He
cried, in grief, while trying to staunch
the wound, “Eennesaw 1 Kennhsaw I
have I spilled thy life blood ?” The
warrior was buried in the hollow be
tween the two peaks, and the moan
tain bears his name.
Over all the intervening bills the
tall corn is waving, for we are learn
ingin this country to keep our corn
cribs at home and not in the West.
Do yon know a prettier crop than
the Indian corn in perfection, just be
fore the first tint of yellow sullies its
riob green ?
And onr orchards I We do not
envy any fruit yqur low country can
produce while the branches of onr
peaoh trees are bending under their
load and the gronnd below is thick
with watermelons.
Our new railroad, our pride and
delight, runs through the town, pass
ing in a deep eat just in front of the
oourt house. The Georgia Paoifio
has connected us with the world. It
is Btillsnoh a novelty that half the
town colleots to see the arrival and
departure of the train. Our pretty
frame depot is almost finished, but we
think they might have given us
briok one.
One more feature of the landscape
would probably attract your atten
tion—a vacant lot near the oourt
house where stand in proud array a
large crowd of mules—mules fasten
ed to hitohing-posts, saddled mules,
and wagons drawn by mules. The
presence of these animals indicates
the love of the American people for
tpe administration of justice. The
numerous owners are crowded into
the court house where the Superior
Oourt is in session. Morning and
evening the procession files through
the streets on its way to and from the
temple of justice.
There are many nniqne phases in
the life of this place just opened to
the world by railroad connection with
the capital. I am looking forward
with some eagerness to the camp-
meetings, those annual religious
gatherings “when the crops are laid
by." • . - Zell.
the SOUTH.
LoulavUle Trado Journal.
The future of the South promises
to be a grand one. People have
shaken oil their old lethargic ways
and have imbibed some of the vim
and energy of their northern neigh
bors. Mills, factories and new indus'
tries are springing up in every direc
tion, and notwithstanding the dis
astrous floods of the past winter,
everybody seems to have pitohed in
with renewed determination to re
cover that which was lost
Nothing makes snob success as
work, and the hard work that has
been bestowed upon our corn, tobac
co and grain fields has brought forth
magnificent results.
The crops are the best in many
years, exceeding the bountiful harvest
of 1879.
We refer to this with great pleasure.
It means success, money and great
advantages for the Sooth.

GAINESVILLE'S CHICKENS.

all probability the
ucing market in.
g the spring, sum-
anths there is' an
ment of 45 coops,
ing chickens to toe
2,700 chickens
that are'sbipped daily. This would
be 270 coops a week of 16,200
chickens, or 1,080 ooops every month,
containing 64,800 chickens. The egg
trade is about the same in proportion.
The weekly shipment of eggs will
average 6,000 dozen, or 24,000 per
month. The Atlanta market is al
most supplied with obiokens from
Gainesville ; but Macon, Savannah;
Jacksonville, Fla., trad perhaps other
intermediate places, receive large
shipments of chickens from Gaines
ville via Atlanta. This is the same
with regard to eggs. The natural in
quiry is, what makes Gainesville such
a large chioken market? The same
advantages can hardly be afforded to
any other place. It comes about .in
this way. The mountains of North
Georgia, Southeastern Tennessee and
Western North Carolina, with their
rich spots of land interspersed, are
thickly settled by a sturdy class of
people, many of whom never see
piece of money from one end of the
year to the other end. Everything
they desire which they do not produce
at home is bartered for at the little
stores scattered about in tbe valleys,
or at Gainesville. The majority of
these good people haul their cbiqkens
and eggs to Gainesville; some from
a distance of over one hundred miles.
Even the little store out in the coun
try which barter goods for obiokens
and eggs, send them to Gainesville
for sale to the merchants there. A
mountaineer from the hills of Union,
Pickens, Towns or any of the coun
ties north of Gainesville, will load his
wagon with obiokens, and, perhaps,
eggs included, and, with bis aog, will
start out for Gainesville to be gone
three or four days. In all.probamlity
be will also have a sack of gold dust.
Obiokens,* eggs and gold dust will all
be bartered for “store goods,” such as
calico, shirting,'faotory thread, sugar
and coffee, eta, all without receiving
a cent of mony.
A Great Mill Burned.
New Yobk, July 81.—The great
flour mill of Heoker Brothers, ex
tending from Ofaerry to Water streets
on Pike street, was totally burned to
day, along with several neighboring
buildings, the principal one of which
was tbe spice mill of Sanger, Beers
A Fisher, aha a number of tenements
on Cherry street The Heekers’ loss
is between $400,000 and $600.000;
insurance $600,000—well distributed,
Sanger, Beers A Fisher’s loss is
stated at $100,000. Hie other losses
will bring the aggregate to nearly
$1,000,000. Tbe fire originated in
the ninth story of the Heoker
Brothers’ mill, whioh was ten stories
high, and was caused by friotion
among the machinery for cleaning
wheat About 500 men were em
ployed in the mill, although some
were driven to tbe fire escapes out
side the building, and a fireman’s leg
was broken. Several were prostrated
by heat. Tho heat was so intense
the firemen could not approach to save
the mill. With forty engines at
work, all they could do was to prevent
tbe spread of fire. Among the minor
losses was the Seaman’s Exchange,
$6,000.

The great scientific machines, tbe
Inflexible and tbe Temeraire, which
were tried for tbe first time before
Alexandra, have evidently given much
satisfaction to the English military
authorities. They were worked with
as much skill and exactness as if they
had been engines of peace instead of
war. The Inflexible carried eighty-
ton guns, nearly twenty-seven feet in
length, weighing as much as a rail
way train, and bad her turrets so ar
ranged that the whole of her arma
ment could be fired either in the line
of the .keel or a beam, as best Baited
the need. These two machines bat
tered down the Alexandrian forte
without receiving any injuries them
selves, and showed that when pluck
and science go together, they entirly
change the mode of modern warfare.
