VfJXJt x Plosions*. “In Union, Htrength and Prosperity Abound," SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA M DECEMBER 1, 1893. GENERAL NEWS. Current Events of the Day Boiled Down Into a few Lines For Busy People. Yellow fovor is gradually disappear¬ ing from Brunswick. Kansas City, Mo., has had anothor big fire. Tho loss is estimated at $400,000. An unknown crank tried to burn tho museum of fino arts in Copoly square, Bouton. Wm. 11. Beers, tho formov presi¬ dent of tho New York Life Insurance Company, is dead. Miners at Hurley, Wisconsin, are on tho verge of starvation. Tho State is providing for them. Eighty sailors were drowned during a gale which swept over the British coast tho past week. At Anderson, Ind., Blinton Bar wick shot Ida Smith with a “didn’t know it was loaded” pistol. Tho editor of tho Daily Graphic of Hot Springs was assaulted by a police¬ man and brutally beaten with a pistol. It is now published as a fact that tho Confederate Voterans Reunion will bo held at Birmingham April 25, 1894. Tho Ryan Company, dry goods dealers, successors to the Steve Ryan Company, of Atlanta, has gone into the hands of a receivor. Tho indications aro that tho free coinago fight will be renewed with increased vigor at the opening of the regular session of congress. The governor of Florida has said he will not permit the Corbctt-Mitchell fight to take place on Florida soil, if it be in his power to prevent it. Charley Willis, 13 years old, of Springfield, Ill., was shot and killed while being initiated into a secret so oiety known there as S, S. S. S.—Sev¬ en Secrets, Silent Shades. The Chattanooga Medicine Com¬ pany, of Chattanooga, Tenn., has just won an important law suit in which the right to use the name of M. A. Thedford & Co. was at issue. There is a big freight strike on the Lehigh Valley road between Ithaca aud Buffalo. The strike includes brakemen, firemen and a few engin¬ eers, conductors and operators. From the reports in the daily press dispatches, one would conclude that Grand Master Workman Powderly had had a hard row to hoe at the meet¬ ing of the Knights of Labor in Phila¬ delphia the past week. Mrs. Barbara Hubbard, mother of ex- Attorney-General Garland, died in Washington Friday night. Pneu¬ monia was the principal cause of her death, bnt it was hastened by the re¬ cent suicide of Mise Daisy Garland, L. S. Merriam, an instructor in the Cornell university, and Miss M. L. Yergin, a studont, wore out rowing on Lake Cayuga, and wore drowned by the overturning of their boat. Miss Yorgiu’s parents livo in South Caro¬ lina, while Mr. Merriam’s parents are residents of Chattanooga, Tenn. Miss Ella Knowles, who was defeat¬ ed for the attorney - generalship of Montana by a small majority and was then appointed assistant by her suc¬ cessful competitor, recently secured in favor of her state, before the inte¬ rior department at Washington, a de oision involving about $200,000 worth of school lands in Montana. Counterfeit tickets to tho amount of over $100,000 have been honored in the last four weeks by the Balti¬ more and Ohio, Erie, Pittsburg and Western, Nickel Plate and other roads. There was absolutely nothing on the face of tickets to indicate that they were counterfeit. They were accept¬ ed without question by tho conductors, passed readily by tho ticket counters and entered as of legal issuo by the various ticket auditors. The tickets are tho most perfect counterfeits of any kind ever issued. Hitherto tho great white dome of United (States capitol, rising into the blue sky like a snowy mountain, has beon oue of the most conspicuous and beautiful sights in tho city of Wash¬ ington. It is to have a golden rival. The roof of the New National Library is to be capped with a dome ef gener¬ ous proportions covered with pure gold. Part of tho work is already completed, and a gorgeous picture it is. The new library building is but a stone’s throw from the capitol, and its golden dome glitters and shines like a young and brilliant sister by the side of the white hemisphere that crowns the capitol. A dazzling picture these twin domes present, and oue that lin¬ gers loug in the memory of the visitor or dwei’er within the gates who is fortunate enough to witness it. Soldiers Who Pray. A dispatch to the London Times says: The germania declares that the emperor, in his address to the recruits yesterday, said: “I want Christian soldiers who say their Load’s prayer. Soldiers are not to have a will of their own. You must have but one will, and that is my will, one law and that is my law.” CURRENT NEWS. Anarchy scorns to bo gaining ground in Europe. England seems disposed to try tho woman’s suffrage. The game of foot ball has now tak¬ en tho placo of base ball and is attract¬ ing much attention and enthusiam in many cities. In view of tho expiration of tho Ed ison patents in England the price of electric lamps has already come down from 4s. 4d. to Is. 9d., with prospects of greater reductions soon. A dog’s bone has again been used in a New Pork hospital in repairing the broken leg of a man. The patient in ths case was 60 years old. The operation was performed threo weeks ago and success seems assured with¬ in tho next ton days. A now statue, smaller than its pred¬ ecessor, has been erected in front of tho tower entrance to Madison Square garden, New York. The former stat¬ ue was twolvo feot in height, which was disproportionately largo. This one is but half tlio size and makes a much more effective picture. The report that Anna Gould, the 17 yoar old daughter of tho late Jay Gouhl, is to marry actor Woodruff has caused a big sensation in New York. Both families deny tho story, but the truth of the rumor is strength¬ ened by the fact that Mr. Woodruff has loft tho stage and entered Yale College to study law. Miss Anna is heir to $15,000,000. One of the two statues to bo set up in the old hall of the house of repre¬ sentatives at Washington, is that of the heroic missionary, Pere Jacques Marquette, tho French explorer, who made with Louis Joliet and five others a remarkable canoo trip down the Mississippi in 1673. They are gener¬ ally considered to have been t,he first Europeans to explore the great river, and, with the exception of De Soto, the fi rst to look upon it. Progress of I he South, The Tradesman, Chattanooga, Tenn. In its review of the industrial situation in the South for the week, reports that while the week shows no increase in the organization of new plants, the average has been maintained. There is a continued demand for machinery of all kinds, and a larger number than usual of manufacturing establishments are adding to their equipments. Some¬ what more of inquiry for iron prod¬ prices, ucts is reported, with no change in and coal mines are increasing their output. Southern textile mills aro doing well. Farmers continue to believe that cotton will bring higher prices, and those \v ii > can do so are holding their crops. The largo crops of rice and sugar are making money easier, along the lower gulf coast, and mercantile business is prosperous for the season. The Tradesman reports thirty now industries as established or incorpora¬ ted during tho weok, together with eight enlargements of manufactories and ten important new buildings. Among noticeable new industries of the week may be mentioned the Georgetown, Texas, electrical compa¬ ny, with $100,000 capital, organized by A. S. Fisher aud others; tho new rolling mill of the Whitaker Iron and steel Company, at Wheeling, W. Va., to cost $100,000; a wagon Faotory to cost $60,000, at Little ltock, Ark., by R. H. Rahn, of Dayton, O.; the Adams Drug, Paint and Oil Company, of Savannah, Ga., capital $50,000 by J. W- Preston and others; the Chero keo Mining and Milling company, of Atlanta, Ga., capital $50,000, by Frank Messer and Associates, aud the Bayard Lumber Company, of Bayard, W. Va., capital $25,000, by G. W. Hughes and others. Agricultnral implement works aro to be built at Dunn, N. C., and Mem¬ phis, Tenn., a flouring mill at Fruit ton, Ala-, a tobacco factory at Nash¬ ville, Tenn.; a lumber mill at Knox¬ ville, Tenn.; variety works and a fur¬ niture factory at Winterville, N. C.; a sash and blind factory at Raleigh, N. C., and saw and planing mills at Hawkins, Texas, and Grafton and Lo¬ gan C. H., W. Va. Trolleys for Canal Boats. The official test of propelling canal boats by tbe trolley system has just been made in New York state and proves a grand success. It was wit¬ nessed by several thousand people, who cheered enthusiastically as the boat glided along. The boat used was a full sized canal boat and Engineer Cheesrow of the Westinghouse works at Pittsburg, hail charge of the appli¬ cation of the electric power. Gover¬ nor Flower turned on the current and as the boat passed slowly through a lock he addressed the people on board. He declared that electric motor power was an assured fact, and predicted an increase in traffic of 9,000,000 tons of freight a year. It will, he declared, open a larger route for the products of the east, which will be cheaper and far superior to those of the Mississippi or Canadian canals. The boat moved at the rate of three aud one-half miles per hour. The officers of the West inghouse express themselves satisfied with the success of the experiment. A FRONTIER GRAVEYARD T3io Cemetery at Fettorman, Where Many a Worthy JLles Burled. Old Fort Fettorman, or what is left of the post, stands upon a table land which overlooks a beautiful basin and tho North I’latto river. The buildings of the Fort are crumbling. Sage-brush has sprung up in tho walks and the cactus in the parade ground is now green and rank. Fettorman is an abandoned post. The soldiers moved away from there years ago. Only one man lives at the place now. lie is a stout fellow, with a face as red aR one of the spring sunsets the of the country, and as unkempt as hair of a town lout. He has few visitors, The days come and the days go without bringing to this man a single thing to break the monotony of his life. Years ago tho soldiers returned to the post, says the Chicago Herald, and removed from the cemetery tho dead bodies of their comrades. Some of tho bravo fol¬ lows were killed in lights with Indians. Others had taken their own lives, whilo still others had died from natural causes. The bodies that remained in tho quiet graveyard were those of civilians. They died, as many of tho soldiers had done, but there was nobody to tako them away, and so tticy were left to lie in the shadow of the ruins of the post and where the coyotes run at night. The headstones at theso graves aro grimly humorous. They are of wood, with the names of the occupants of the tombs carved upon their surface. The letters are not regular. They do not belong to the same font. Hero is an italio II and there a roman G, and so close are they together that tho name is whose as irregular as was the life of the man memory they were made to perpetuate. of tho graveyard is Over in one corner a sunken grave where a curlew was thrusting its slender bill. The head board read: “Pete Stevenson, Killed by Limber Jim.” To the right, and where the cactus grows thickest, is another board, with this inscription: “Bill Ap pie, Suioided by a Six-Shooter.” “Lim her Jim,” whoever he may have been, may not have started this frontier grave¬ yard, but he had much to do with the prosperity of the civilian corner of the inclosure. For here and there was a headstone with the name of one of his victims, and always ending in the Jim.” same grim way: “Killed by Limber There were no days or dates carved upon the boards. That would have taken too much time. Anu who would care, any¬ how, whether Bill Bates died on Thurs¬ day, March 21, 1887, or on Friday, March 22, 1887? One old story started from this grave¬ yard. Bill Barlow, who was a great man about Fettorman when the post amounted to something, was striking across the country late one night, when, exhausted from his long ride, he drew rein on his bronco and alighted. The night was with so dark that Barlow, familiar as he was every basin and draw of the country, drew up in tho middle of the graveyard and picketed his horse. Morning was breaking when Barlow awoke. He looked about him and in the dim light saw the gravestones scattered here and there. Started at what he beheld, hut suddenly realizing that he was, perhaps, the most fortunate of all men, ho cried out: “The rosurrection, begosh, and I’m the first on deck.” The story was told throughout Wyo¬ ming, and eventually found its way to the cast, Barlow is still alive. He is a fat man with a good naturo; and when the nights are long he the plays big-hatted the village piano sit and about sings the for men who storo. WOMAN. The Greatest Have Thought It Worthy to Honor Her. I think there is nothing made in crea¬ tion that can be compared with woman —not even man. Homage and devotion to a woman is the first duty of man, after homage and devotion to the Supreme Being, whom all the different races unite in describing as God. 1 have fancied that woman and woman’s love represented the ruling spirit, as man and man’B brain ropresont the drawn moving agent, in the world. I have pictures of an age in which real chivulry of thought, word and deed might lie the only law necessary to control men’s actions. Not tho scenic and theatrical chivalry of (he middle ages, ready at any moment to break out into and epidemic understanding orimo, but a 1 truo reverence o woman’s supremo right to honor and con¬ sideration; an age where it should no longer be said that lovo is but an episode in the brutal life of man, while to woman it is life itself. There is no pleasure like the pleasure of trying to understand what a woman wants; th ere is no sorrow like the sorrow of failing to do that; and there is no glory like the glory of suc cess. It is Is a divine titsk for any man, aud tho greatest, have thought it worthy of them.—[E. Marion Crawford. Tho Crazy Peer Voted. There is only one well authenticated case of a lunatic having voted in a divi¬ sion either iu the House of Lords or the House of Commons. In 1841, on tho occasion when Lord Melbourne's government was defeated by one vote on Sir Robert Peel’s notice of want of con¬ fidence, the Whigs brought down Lord X--, who was a member for a Scotch county, although he idiocy, was in a his state of absolute driveling aud voti was duly recorded on the governmeu side.

Condition and General Outlook of Tho Prospects of the Country. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review says: Business is gaining, but it is a con¬ stant complaint that the improvement is slow. This is because very few re¬ alize bow heavy a load business has to Legislative drag after it in climbing weigh up again. uncertainties heav¬ ily, while trade and manufacturing failures invol ving more than $235, 000,000 in nino months, besides bank¬ ing failures of enormous liabilities and failures of railroad and other cor¬ porations haviug heavy indebtedness to individuals aud firms, involve con¬ tinual embarrassments which men are prone to forget. There has been encouragement dur¬ ing the past week in the fact that No¬ vember payments aro far moro satis ’sfaotory than was expectod, but extensions of tho mouth would have seemed alarming in other years. Mer¬ chants who receive part of the amount are rejoieed, but their buying power is not as large as usual. The extraor¬ dinary shrinkage in purchases for consumption, if lessening, has still made it impossible for many firms to go as before, and the largest failure of tho woek, that of tho Thurbcr-Why land Company, illustrato* embarrass¬ ments which cannot be terminated in a week or a month. Monetary diffl culties no longer hinder. It is true the treasury cash has fallen to $9?,- 888,695, of whioh only $85,490,891 was gold, but there is no such alarm as there was when the gold reserve alone went below $160,000,000. Busi¬ ness Is not leaning on the treasury, and it is well that it is not. Recoipts for the month thus far are about $5, 000,000 less than expenses, and the imports in October decreased about $20,000,000, partly because of inflated valuation of goods imported last year. Weekly imports at New York decrease in part from the same cause. The condition of industries im¬ proves, but they wisely wait the revi¬ val of purchases by consumers. Twenty-four works of all kinds have wholly or in part resumed, against fourteeu closing. Yet less than half the iron working power is active, and out of ninety-nine woolen works full at the East only ten are working time, while forty-five shut up Nov. 1, the productipn for four mon'hj in men’s woolens bgiug 14,343,481 yards, against 25,554,306 last year. Slate factory inspectors report that out of 90,000 persons employed in textile mills in Philadelphia only 17,500 are at work. In boots and shoes there is also decided improvement, in spite of the fact that orders are smaller th an usual and most factories are receiving orders, though not enough for full employment. Shipments from Boston for the week were only 5 per cent loss than the year before. The volume of bnsiuess through the cleai lug house continues, and for the past week it increased 18.6 per cent. The failures of the week were 364 in the United Stales, against 205 last ear, and 36 in Canada, against 35 ast year. Besides oue bank in Ohio and the Thurber failure, there were four of liabilities over $100,000 aud 68 others over $5,000. Tho volume of indebtedness of firms failing in the previous week was $3,727,467 against $3,467,846 the week before, being larger East than South. A Now Roller State. “A rather formidable competitor of the cycle, I hear, has made its appear¬ ance in the Midlands in the shape of a pneumatic road skate. It has lately been seen in the streets of Birming¬ ham, England, and Judging from the admiration it excites, is not unlikely I should think, to find itg way into all parts of'tho country. The invention, which was patented a short time ago jy a Scotch firm, is evidently derived from the old roller skate of skating rink celebrity; but, whereas, the or¬ dinary roller skate has four wheels, tho pneumatic skate has only two, placed in line at either extremity of the skate, The wheels are rathei larger thau those of the roller skate, and instead of solid rubber are cover, with pneumatio tires. The patentees claim for them that one can skate ovoi ordinary turnpike roads with them the same as on ice, and at even greater speed, while at the same time they will easily ascend and descend hills. Six or seveu miles an hour, however, is the maximum speed attempted in the streets of Birmingham, and that only on smooth roads. One obvious advantage of the pneumatic skate over the pneumatic cycle is that punc¬ tured tires may be readily replaced, as the skater may carry surplus tiros, or even reserve wheels ready fitted in his overcoat pocket.—London Letter. Ferris an Infringer. W. D. Somers of Atlantic City, N. J., sued the Ferris Wheel Company for an infringement upon his patent in the ereection of the great Ferris wheel at Chicago and has gained his case.

LUCK OF A BOY HUNTER. Lelnnd Mabio, a lad of fourteen years, the while hunting on the divide between east fork of Brown’s creek and Duncan’s fork of Cottonwood, had a hair-breadth escape Friday of last week. He came upon two cubs, who were killed climbing them, a tree, and promptly shot and lie had no sooner dispatched them the brush when the mother came rushing out of near by. So sudden and unexpected that was the old bear’s appearance young Mabio did not have time to get his rifle in readiness to fire. Luckily he had a iiorco dog with him, who promptly cams to his master's rescuo just Leland as the and bear hug was about to rlasp young bear and the dog him to death. Tho had it for a time, while tho young hunter stood by and viowed tho encounter. Finally the oileot of the dog’s teeth on tho haunchos of the bear had the de¬ sired efleot and sho left tho field to the boy and tho dog. Young Mabie took ono of the cubs, which weighed him about soventj-five pounds, back with to camp, where he was the hero of the day. —[Trinity (Cal.) Journal. A CITY OF DOU.MASF.R8. At Sonneberg, which is in the heart of Germany, all the inhabitants are in the business of doll making—12,000 dollmakers—and people are all more or less among them they produce no fewer than 26,000,000 dozen doll babies every year. It is hard to realize what oa enormous quantity that is. After this it sounds odd to say that in Sonneborg it takes eighty persons In to make a doll. Yet such is the fact. Germany labor is subdivided as much as possible, or, in other words, a doll maker does one little thing from year’s end to year’s end, and thus it comes about that it takes eighty people to make a doll. Little boys, when they enter the Sonns berg faotories, spend a long time in painting nails on dolls’fingeTs, for which they are paid about twenty-five nothing cents fill a week. Some girls do but bodies with chopped hay or straw. Men pass their lives in painting Dolly’s lashes and brows, and others in putting rouge on her cheeks. So it is with other parts of a doll; each is dpno by one person. The doll’s wigs are made by girls at Munich, and their eyes come from a little town only a few miles from Sonneberg aud aro made by men in their own homes. Endless are the varieties of dolls. Every Sonneberg manufacturer has about one hundred designs. Taste varies, and besides in exporting dolls many things have to be taken into consideration. A wax one cannot be sent to a very hot or a very cold country. In the former it would melt, in the latter crack. Then if a doll has rubber joints she cannot bo sent a long sea voyage, for on arrival at her destination she would be armless and legless. A sea journey also takes tho curl out of Dolly’s hair and the starch out of her clothes. Fashion, moreover, is constantly ohanging. A doll which everybody buys one season is not looked at the next.—[Now York Mail and Ex¬ press. LITTLE TIM. Freddy lived in a fort out on the prairies. His fathor was a soldier, who rode a big horse, and wore a sword that rattled and jingled against his high boots as he walked. One day, as Freddy’s fathor was rid¬ ing, his horse stumbled at a little hole made by one of the prairie dogs, that live underground. He heard a little squeak, and looking down saw a small animal resembling a large rat without a tail. He was sitting on his hind legs, and did not seem at all afraid. Freddy's father took him home to his little son, who had so longed for a pet of this kind. Freddy did not know where the to soldiers keep him, and he asked one of what to do with him. Sergeant Brown told him to let the creature dig a hole in tho ground near his quarters, where the soldiers could watch him, as they are fond of pets; and he named him Tim. Soon Tim felt quite at home. sounded Every morning when the bugles for tho soldiers to get up, Mr. Tim would come out from his hole, and perch up on his hind legs, and afterwards would watch the men hurrying to breakfast. He seemed to know What this meant, for, soon after, good Sergeant Brown brought him some off bread, and But perhaps after an onion to top with. a while, when Master Freddy called him, Tim would cotne out and sit up very straight, expecting something extra, of course. Froddy always had something better than an onion, and treated him to a piece of tomato or cake. Life would have been very pleasant horrid Tor little Tim, had there been no dogs about. But, alas! there were; and they seemed very envious of the atten¬ tion he received. One morning Freddy’s dog Pat, whom he never would have thought so cruel, jumped at poor little Tim, and bit him so badly, that he lay down and died. Freddy cried bitterly; ho whipped Pat and locked him up. But what good could it do little Tint, who no longer was up iu th8 morning early to hear the soldiers blow their bugles before breakfast? And good Sergeant Brown said, “J would rather have given fifty dollars than had poor Tim killed.”—[Nursery.
