Saratoga. She is a woman of low stature,
with pleasing features, and dresses richly

—Monsieur Lessens argues that the
use of meat instead of cereal food involves
n fearful waste, and also occasions injury
to health. He says that “one acre of
cereals in France will support five men,
while it would take two acres to support
one steer, and in tbe end one man would
eat the steer.” This is five to one to the
disfavor of the steer. The more steers the
greater waste of food, at least in France.

As fab as concerns news, the Geor
gia press resembles now a great desert,
with hardly an oasis to cheer the deso
lation.
The “backbone of summer” is not
broken yet, the opinion of certain
wise editors to the contrary notwith
standing.
Editoe Gibson, of the Augusta Fren-
ing Newt, makes a splendid baseball
editor. His “notes on the situation”
are masterful.
Tim Early County Newt any*-. “Blake
ly is the boss town of Southwest Geor-
E ia. It is the prettiest, cleanest and
ealthicst town in the State.
The Carfersville Free Prest says that
“in the matter of the school house, the
action of the mayor and council is sus
tained by the majority of the citizens
of Cartersville.”
The Jesup Sentinel succeeds most
admirably in mixing the “matter” of
its local column. It would seem that
either the editor or the printer is al
ways “jest-up” (Jesup.)
The BcKalh Newt says: “The Tele
phone Company are getting down to
business. The msjonty of the piles
are now up and in five days the ex
change will be in working order.”
The newspaper that fills its columns
with communications from long-winded
correspondents, may be gratifying said
1. w. correspondents, hut certainly arc
not acting fairly with thoir patrons.
Mad dogs are performing all over the
State. The Banner-Watchman says:
“Gus Beal, a colored man, living near
Athens, came home a few days ago,
and his dog at once attacked him, in
flicting several severe bites. The dog
has been killed, and Gus is laboring
under the belief that he is mad dog
bit.”
The following accident is reported by
the Morning Newt: "A deck hand on
the steamship Gate City, while at work
that these imported trees will not bear
much at all, and hardly ever the fruit
that is claimed for them. The fruit
growers of this section liavo discarded
them, and in their stead are growing
treeo of their own geedlings, which al
ways excel the bought ones, and are
certainly much cheaper.”
Jvditob Sparks, of the Swainsboro
Itemiter, becomes exuberant, and ex
claims : “No matter who is elected as
the next President of the United States,
the people of this county will not starve;
for the corn crop is about made and is
“a thing of beauty," and cotton is
doing well, everything considered. A
grand, honest and independent people,
we.” Georgia should feel proud of
Emanuel county. You seldom hear it
spoken of, yet it is one of the noblest in
the State. Her people are open, honest
and brave, and the visitor always finds
the latch on the outride of every man's
door. Their mode of living is Arca
dian, and, wherever known, the Eman-
uelite is respected.

he delivered upon leaving the chair, and
which tho press and the public had greatly
praised.
—Tho Count do Paris has been re
moved from the list of French territorial
colonels. Gen. Campenon appears to have
ust discovered that only ofilcera who have
reen in active service can legally remain
in tbe reserve or territorial army after the
age of forty. The Count, who never was
in active service, is forty-six. That
he has long been allowed to bear a rank he
is not entitled to, is the result of an over
sight, and thus with the least possible fric
tion a political necessity has been satisfied
by the war minieter simply scratching out
his name from the armylist of this year.
—The death of Mr. Pilot, Madame
Janauschek's husband, reeal's a story
told by Nat Childs, of Bost'-n.wbo wasber it quite
manager in this country last year. Like neighboi
moat husbands of noted actresses, Pilot
was wort hires. Though well educated and
of good family, he did nothing to support
himself, and became a millstone around
her .neck. When Madame Janauscbek
arrived in Pbilrdelphia, one of her favorite
cities, from Europe, in 1881, a well known
local manager made a social call. Bbe
made inquiries concerning a leading man
who had supported her two yean before,
snd was informed that be was dead. Mad
ame Janauscbek expressed her deep re-
vret. A few mlnntei later she Inquired
•fter another mutual acquaintance, and
received the newt that he bad died only
the week before. With a despondent shake
of the head tire great tragedienne re
marked, "Everybody dies bat Pilot.”

It seems from the following, taken
from the Banner-Watchman, that Ath
ens is going to have a street railway:
“The Athens street railway is not a
far distant thing. The necessities of
snch a convenience are too apparent to
require argument in its favor. When
the times improve tho street ‘ railway
will be agitated and built. If onr own
people don’t do it the discerning Yan
kee will see the opportunity and im
prove it.”
The “Atlanta genius” is nothing if
not inventive. lie is also wise. Con
templating the early close of the peach
and watermelon season, he Is provid
ing already his meat for the winter.
The Smithville Enlfrprite says: “Our
streets were enlivened last week by the
music of the harmonica, performed by
three young geniuses from Atlanta.
'The music was superb, and they made
inite profitable, receiving in the
Ignbothood of *15 during their stay

The Greensboro Herald is authority
for the following; “Postal Clerk Grier,
of the Athens -branch, has a supi

Tho clairvoyant has never seen it,

Pike County News,
The objectionable form which the
outgrowth of this prohibition and anti-
prohibition campaign of Pike has as
sumed is that unfriendly feelings are
being engendered on both sides. It is
a regretted fact that friends on opposite
sides of this movement are becoming
estranged—relatives growing cool.
The old party threatened to be split up,
and most deplorable of all the church,

Barnesville has hitherto been a

because of dificrences of opinions and
the indisposition of tbe factions to con

ted by the more solid, thinking men of

August 2.—At a special term of the
Superior Court, held here on last
Thursday afternoon, Judge John T.
Clark presiding, the negro George
Jones, who recently committed an out
rage upon an estimable wife and
mother of this county, was sentenced
to be publicly hanged on Monday, the
2oth day of this month. A deep' feel
ing of indignation was felt by all classei
oiour people towards tho criminal, bul
being “law-abiding,” wore willing to
patiently wait upon the action of the
court, which has granted them their
desire—tho death penalty. Judge
Clark’s charge to the grand jury wits a
model of superior excellence, and his
words in sentencing the prisoner to
death deserve to be remembered.

REUNION OF THE MCDUFFIE niFKS—A
PLEASANT OCCASION.
August L—The rennion of tho Mc
Duffie Rifles took place on yesterday
on Fountain Camp Grounds, about
sixteen miles north of this place. Many
of the old boys were there, and they
kept each other alternately laughing
and crying the bigger part of the day,
relating, as they recollected them, the
incidents in*the history of the com
pany. Judge E. H. Potter, at one
time, I think, the captain of the com
pany, was present and addressed them.
The Judge’s speech was able and for
cible, and I might say that he has no
ambition which might not l>e realized,
were it in thopower of the members
of the McDuffie Rifles to give it. The
reunion passed off very pleasantly,
thfere being plenty ofbread and barbe
cue for every ono present. Next year
the company will reunite at Warren-

Strangs Conduct of an Old Dog*
South Georgia Clarion.
Some weeks ago the attention of our
household was directed to an old well
some little distance from the house, b
rather an imploring and pitiful bar]
and howl of a dog. W. J. and others
of the family went to the well and
found a dog in tho well some twenty
five or thirty feet deep. A noose was
made and the dog pulled out. Some
two weeks Jater our attention was
again attracted by a similar
bark and howl. This time much
nearer the house, and we pro
ceeded at once to see from whence the
cry for help catu$, and sure enough,
the identical canine was found in an
other unused well near tho lot, thirty
or forty feet deep. The ropes were
again lowered as before, and when it
was u|>on a level with the head of the
anxious dog, he deliberately put his
head in the nalter which was drawn,
and when sufficiently tight was again
pulled out, whereupon the tail was
wagged in token, it seemed, of his grat
itude for timely aid. On examina
tion, an old turkey hen and a “fry
ing sized’ 1 chicken, it was discovered,
had taken quarters with the old fellow.
The explanation as to the cause of the
association of the trio is, that ^ho first
named, and hero of the occasion, was
evidently out on a foraging expedition.
There was a china tree which had been
blown across the well wbere Die turkuy
and chicken roosted. He evidently
missed his aim to catch his game, and
down all went in the well.

coming along home down the big road.
When she had nearly reached the res

"Mb. Bam Coker exhibited
strange looking hen-egg on our streets

encased in a leather looking sac about
the size of a pig’s bladder. The sac
waa almost transparent, and the yolk
could plainly be descried. It wm a

of the Hawkinsville Dituateh. It will
prove a valuable acquisition to hla al

August 2.—The grading on the
Bncna Vista railroad has been fully
completed to this place, the heavy
work at Andersonvillo having neared
completion. The grading with the reg
ular force is four miles beyond here on
the ltuena Viatadivision, whilo several
miles have been* graded at different
points by sub-contractors. All the
work is going forward with vigor.
The sale of the county lots, located in
Ellaville, near the public square, will
take place Tuesday, the 5th inst.
These lots are very desirable
and the coming business men will all
do well fo look after them.
Ellaville is beautifully situated, 200
feet above any near point on the Cen
tral railroad—cither Oglethorpe, An-
dersonville or Americus. We have
good water, best society, first-class
schools, two churches—Methodist
and Baptist—six stores, one drug-
S 'st, one hotel, two attorneys,
ree doctors, and the connty is pro
hibitive. Wc have no jail, and nobody
committing crimes requiring the build
ing of one—and os a health record, we
surpass all sections. There has
been bnt one adult died with
in the limits * v of the place
from natural cause “since the war.”
In fact, old Inhabitants fail to call to
memory the lost death In the place.
What place can beat this record?

On lMt Saturday this neighborhood
united in a grand picnic in tbe magnifi

of an annual occurrence at this place,

The sea lioness in Druid Hill Tark

to which she wm confined, and died
shortly alter 8 o’clock in the morning,
an hour and a half after a large break

since Thursday. Ordinarily she gave
■ snapping, grinding motion of the
jaws before swallowing, but this wm
recently omitted snd she bolted her
food. She bad a very sore month for
lonr or five days before her death. Af
ter supper Monday night she got on
shore, drew herself up injt heap, and
wm evidently in great pain, trembling
and shaking her flukes. When taking
her lMt breakfast tbe wm still in I
fearful condition, though she bolted
flglt rapidly. In dying she wm taken
with cramps and struggled from the
land out to tbe deepest part of the
pond, where she died in a great flurry
hut without a cry. Grappling irons
were brought into requisition, hut
slipped from her glossy skin. Messrs,
Bowcrsock and Fitzpatrick, of the
park force, swam out, and diving to
the bottom of the pond, about 17 feet
deep, brought her up. Bite wm buried
near the pond.
The cub nursed hut on Monday even
ing. He was terribly grieved st the
death of his mother. When her body
wm taken out he stood erect; later
put a fluke on the fence and tried to
scale it. It wm a hard thing to catch
him. Messrs. Bowersock and Fitzpat
rick swam after him for a long time,
lie would nearly permit them to touch
him, when he would dive and come up
at the far cud of the pond. When lie
got tired he showed tight. Finally,
after being exhausted by the long-con
tinued chase, he wm cornered. Cap
tain Cassell caught him by the neck
and held him until he was put in a
sling. He was taken to the sheep pen
and pnt in a brick trough two feet
wide, two feet deep and eight feet long,
with plenty of running water. Mack
erel, cut np very fine, waa given him,
but he would not swallow it, and spit
it out. He was tried with s sucking-
bottle like a baby, but bit it in two.
He wm held, and about a pint aud a
half of cow's milk put down hla throat.
He shows tight, and is vicious. His
mouth is full of teeth. He has grown
ten inches in length since he came to
Baltimore. He will have to be kept in
seclusion for a few days. Notwith
standing the rain yesterday, ladies,
and children in carriages came in to
seethe little orphan, but were not per
mitted to see him. lie was in a sound
sleep, snoring loudly, with an atten
dant keeping llies'off him. The little
fallow sighed heavily in his sleep.
The failure of the park commission
ers to have paved the pond in which
the sea lions were kept is the subject
of popular remark. About *30f; woold
have covered the expense, sad ar
rangements were made to hare the
I-ond paved after the death of the first
sea Uon, but they were never carried
out. The tint sea lion died, like tbe
one yesterday morning, immediately
after a rain-storm. The drainage from
