The success of the Grantville Ginning

was organized six months ago, has been
phenomenal. During the period men

outfit, ginned fifteen hundred bales of
cotton, yielding a net profit of 13 per
cent, on the capital stock. At a meet
ing of the stockholders recently a semi
annual dividend of 4 per cent, was de
clared, which still left a surplus of $800
in the company’s treasury. The pres

has been badly
demoralized this -week, resulting in a
heavy tumble in prices. Atlanta lost
$1,500,000 by the crash, her heaviest in
dividual operator (J. W. Ilarle,) having
lost perhaps one-third of this amount.
Newnan was also a loser, but escaped
the demoralization which disturbed
other towns. Taken altogether, this
has been the crankiest season that cot
ton men of the present generation have
ever experienced. There is hardly a
dealer in the country whose ribs have
not been loosened by an unexpected
tussle with the bears, or had the breath

A Frisky Will-o’-tho-Wisp ?
Mr. T.N.Bitighani, of Puckett Station,
relates a remarkable occuri*ence wit
nessed by him on Thursday night of
last week. Shortly after dark lie and
Dr. Ballard were walking up the rail
road near his residence, when their
attention was drawn to a bright light,
which at first appeared to be the head
light of a locomotive, coming rapidly
but silently up the track. When within
about fifty yards of the gentlemen, it
stopped. Gazing at the object intently,
the two gentlemen discovered that it
was about twelve feet from the ground
and was held in space by its own voli
tion. Its exceet|ing brightness dazzled
their eyes. After remaining stationary
for an instant, it began to recede. Still
watching the strange capering of the
capricious luminary, they presently saw
it turn and again start toward them.
When near them it stopped and
receded as before, going out of sight
this time. Mr. Bingham called out his
family and began describing the strange
occurrence, when the subject of his
thoughts was again discovered—this
time listlessly wandering through his
orchard, moving in and out among the
trees with an abandon as audacious
as eccentric. The whole family
watched its maneuvering for some time,
when at last it struck a bee-line for Mr.
Walker Camp’s plantation, going
through the woods, where, long after
it had disappeared from view, its light
could still be seen reflected on and
above the tree-tops.
Can any one tell what it was ?
claim,
i moreover, that the alleged settle
ment is clearly an admission of lia
bility on the part of the railroad, and
in nowise relieves it from the responsi
bility of suit to recover fees claimed by
counsel for the plaintiffs. I’. F. Smith,
P. 11. Brewster and P. S. Whatley were
employed by plaintiffs to bring suit
against the railroad company, and as
settlement was made with their clients
without notice to them, (plaintiff’s at
torneys) they will proceed with the
cases as if no settlement had been ef
fected. They seem to have the bulk
of the law on their side, and the issue
(which is an unusual one, under the cir
cumstances,) will be watched with
interest by the profession.
A meeting of the bar was held in the
Court-house last night to consider
the application of Messrs. AY'. II.
Bingham and J. I). Berry for ad
mission into fellowship with the
legal guild, they having formally pre
sented themselves for examination.
Messrs. A. D. Freeman, P. II. Brewster,
AY'. Y. Atkinson and B. T. Thompson
were appointed a committee to examine
the candidates, who were subjected to
a rigid catechism on the various sub
jects embraced in the civil and criminal
practice. The young gentlemen sus
tained themselves admirably, and were
strongly recommended for admission
by the committee. They will be for
mally admitted to-day or to-morrow.
The grand jury is an exceptionally
able and competent body, and there is
no apprehension that the interests of
the county will suffer at their hands.
Mr. AAL A. Mitchell is foreman, and is
so impartial and fair in his rulings that
he leans both ways on all questions.
It is thought now that this body will
conclude its labors by to-morrow* and
adjourn for the session.
In addition to the local bar, the fol
lowing well-knovm legal lights have
been in attendance this w r eek: AY'. A.
Post, Geo. A. Carter and R. I. O’Kel
ley, of Grantville; Spalding, of Atlanta;
II. M. Reid and J. L. Cobb, of Carroll
ton; R. M. Holley, of Palmetto; J. F.
