Since the death of the negro, Alfred Bell, from hydrophobia, dogs have been at a discount in Oglethorpe county. Many negroes, and whites, too, have decided it to be too risky to keep a lot of hungry curs and hounds around them, and are either killing or giving them away. Rev. George H. Pattillo, a member of the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Church, South, died Wednes day at Clarkesville, where he was sta tioned this year. He married a daugh ter of Dr. James Evans, and was for several years a resident of Macon. He had been sick for several months. He was about 5S years old. A gentleman living near t he Oconee river, at Toomsboro, put a tish basket in there. No spring or well was within a half mile of the place. One night re cently a bold, clear, cool spring sud denly broke forth from among the rocks. Monroe nolcomb and Jim Iverson, two negro hands living on a plantation in Sumter county, had been.in the hab it of loaning one another a chew of to bacco occasionally, and Wednesday, | when an attempt was made to settle \ this debt between them, a light occur red, in which Holcomb was stabbed to | death. I # j The frost Tuesday morning broughi ; t© the mind of a gentleman living near j Lexington a year in which he saw frost j every month except one—July. That; year, he says, he cut wheat all day with his coat on and never became uncom fortably warm. Notwithstanding such weather there were tolerably good crops made. J. R. King, of Webster county, is a mighty hunter, and rarely goes to the widow with a large family to care for. She told how hard she and her little boys worked in her garden patch, how early they were all up every morning, and yet how difficult it was to make both ends meet, even though they did j work hard and long. The lady felt sorry for her, and tried 1 to comfort her by saying so good-look-j ing a woman as she should marry again, j “Whv, Mrs. C., I would,” she said, “hut who would have me with this big family?” “Lots would,” replied Mrs. C. “I j know two or three who would he tick led to death if they had half a chance. I’ll send them around.” “You be sure to do it,” said the wid ow, as Mrs. C. drove off laughing. Mrs. C. forgot all about the widow ! and the rash promise till a few weeks after, when she was passing the house. The widow stopped her again and se riously asked her why none of the gentlemen she had spoken of had call ed. Boor Mrs. C. saw her joke had E. VAN WINKLE & Co.

Considerable comment is being in dulged in over a sermon preached at the Methodist church at Dublin last Sunday by Mr. Thompson, the Metho dist minister in charge. Some citizens are indignant and say that such ser mons are uncalled for. Mr. Thompson has just returned from a trip to Hot Springs, Ark., and, it seems, has taken a peep at some of the waywardness of the world. ed and stammered, not knowing what to say that would not hurt her pride, and at last explained that after she had thought over the matter she had concluded none of the men she had spoken of would do, as the widow would be too particular. “Why, Mrs. C.,” said the widow, “I’m not at all particular.

M . Head. The Belle of Mountain Dew. Miss Bettie Smith, of Fentress coun ty, Tenn., who was arrested on the charge of illicit distilling, is said to be handsome and accomplished, and is supposed to have written that wild and stirring romance, “The Blue-Head ed Sap-Sucker, or The Rock Where the Juice Ran Out.” Col. Harvey Mathes, editor of the Memphis Ledger, says that Miss Smith is undoubtedly the au thor of the story. This is a startling revelation in Tennessee. At one time Col. Mathes offered $3,000 for the dis covery of the author. When Miss Smith was arraigned be fore the United States Court at Nash ville, she conducted herself with such grace and dignity that the polite old Judge, deeply impressed, arose and made her a profound bow. “Miss Smith,” said the Judge, “to see you in this awful predicament seri ously touches me.” “It does me, too, Judge.” “How old are you?” “Judge, you should not ask such a question, but I will tell you. I am two years older than my married sister, who was married before she was as old as I am. She has been married eight een months, and still speaks well of her husband. Now, how old am I?” “I cannot telL” “I am not to blame for your mathe matical inefficiency.” “Why did you go into the business of illicit distilling?” “Because I wanted to make whis ky.” “I suppose so. How long have yea been a distiller?” “Ever since I was 36 years old.” “When were you £6 years old?” “The year my father died.” “What year was that?” “The year my Unde Ileury moved to Texas.” “Miss Smith, you are a woman, but I insist that you shall answer my ques tions. Remember, that if convicted of this awful charge, you will be sent to the penitentiary. What did you do with the whisky you made?” “Sold it/' “Who bought it?” “Well, Judge, it would be rather hard to tell who bought it all. Some time ago a 'party of gentlemen came out into my neighborhood to hunt deer. The party got out of whisky, but j found it difficult to buy any. After awhile I told a man if he would put his • Why She Didn’t “Holler.” Texas Sittings. \ young woman from the country was suing her ex-sweetheart for breach of promise, and the lawyers were, as usual, making all sorts of impertinent inquiries. “You say,” remarked one, “that the defendant frequently sat very close to you?” “Yes, sir,” was the reply, with a hectic flush. “How close?” “Close enough so’s one cheer was all the settin’ room we needed.” “And you say he put his arm around you?” “No, I didn’t.” “What did you say, then?” “I said he put both arms around me.” “Then what?” “He hugged me.” “Very hard?” “Yes, he did. So hard that I come purty nigh hollerin’ right out,’ “Why didn’t you holler?” “Cause.” “That’s no reason. Be explicit, please. Because why?” “Cause I was afeered he’d stop.” The court fell off the bench, and had to be carried out and put under the hydrant for the purpose of resuscita tion. o o H H O O H % U1 SAWMILLS, WIND MILLS, TANKS, SHAFTING, PULLEYS AND ALL KINDS OF FOUNDRY WORK.
