FROM EXCESSIVE DRINK.
Sudden Death of a Man—The Coroner's
Inquest, Etc.
Coroner Hodnett was called upon LSan-
day evening to hold an inquest upon the
body o( a man vrho had died at the city
hall. A jury was impaneled, and from the
testimony the following facts came out:
The deceased was Thomas J. Kirtley,
aged 45 years, and Gordor.syille, Va., ws^
his home. He came to Macon as a
man for the Western Union Te^gf^p),
Company about four months n-^ „b.
tained beard at M>s. Fletch.*,^ Warding
house, corner Mulberry and Fourth
streets. He remained at Mrs. Fletcher's
about two months whence was bitten by a
dog in the yard. He then went to
board at Cassidy’s, corner Mulberry
nndTSfth streets. He had not been in Ma
son long before he reported sick. This
'fact was reported to Superintendent Bren
nan, of the Western Union company, and
Mr. Stevens, the manager of the Macon
office, was asked to ascertain if the sick
ness was not caused by whisky, a's Kirtley
had a reputation for hard drinking.
Manager Stevens did not have mnch
trouble with Kirtley until recently, when
his drinking incapacitated him for work.
About the 5th he seemed to neglect bis du
ties altogether, and on last Thursday
morning was fonnd in the cellar under
the office suffering the tortures
Y of delirium tremens. He was seated on a
box with nn empty wbisky bottle at bis
side. It whs with considerable difficultv
i BM Mr. Stevens and Mr. Turner, the
chief operator, could arouse him. He was
then suspended and another lineman sent
- for. He was not seen at the office again
until Friday afternoon, when he asked for
some railroad passes and also for twenty-
five cents with which he wanted to get
whisky. The money was refused. On
Saturday afternoon he went in company
with a negro man to Mr.
"Fletcher’s bouse and sat down
upon the steps, begging Mrs. Fletcher to
let lilm go In the bonse. He was so drank
that he could not walk, but Mrs. Fletcher
felt sorry for him and let him stay.
On Sunday he asked for some water,
which was given him by Mr. T. Dougherty
and another boarder. They fonnd hint ly
ing in the doorway, and placed him on bis
bed. About 2 o clock a young man re
ported to officers McCafferty and Kiiubrew
that there was a man very bad off at Mrs.
Fletcher’s bouse, and that that lady
wanted him carried to the hospital; she
had sent bis supper to him on
Saturday night, and he broke the
dishes, and, as her husband was absent,
she was afraid of him. The officers went
to the house and found Kirtley sitting upon
the side of the bed with his coat and boots
off. He seemed to be sick, not drunk, and
as Mrs. Fletcher wanted him removed, the
officers thought best to take him to the
city hail. A hack was procured and officer
Kimbrew carried him to tbe ball, and with
tho assistance of officer C. W. Mosely, who
is acting watchman, carried bim to the

BLOOMFIELD."
A Vitit to Mr, R, A. Niabet'o Stock Farm
Near Macon,
You take the Columbus road for about
four miles, and then branch off to the left
and follow a narrow sandy road through a
skirt of woods for two more miles, and
then you drive up against a neat residence
built with an eye to comfort, and set off
with a large lawn in front This is tbe
residence of Mr. Robert A. Kisbet, who is
a lawyer and at one time represented Bibb
county with credit in the legislature.
Our reporter was one of a party that
had the pleasure of a drive yesterday to
''Bloomfield,” as Mr. Nisbet bas named
his place. Mr. Nisbet and Mr. Robt H,
Riant are conjointly establishing a stock
farm at this beautiful place, and ft was to
see the mild eyed Jerteya and get a glimpse
of Mr. Nisbets comfortable home life that
induced the reporter to leave the flying
dust of the city and hie away to the'coun
try where the air Is pure and refresh ng.
TUBNtNG FAnMEIt.
Mr. Nisbet was a close student of law,
and those who honored him for hia merit
drew him into politics. He had scarcely
begun to taste the bitter sweets of public
life, when the death of bis brother, who
was a model farmer, caused him to leave
his law books and turn bis attention to the
farm. Tbe large plantation needed some
one to look alter it, and to save it Mr.
Nisbet became a farmer.
Full of progressive ideas he determined
to depart from the usual way of depending
alone upon crope of cotton and corn, and
while casting about for better methods
of making his soil valuable thought ot
JERSEYS.
His first venture proved a successful one.
and was the means of clinching the idea
that had already begun to fix itself in his
mind. In 1878 he bought Sir 8lgnal. a
ig Jersey ball, from Mr. Bichnrd I'e-
of Atlanta, paying 773 therefor. Two
years ago he sold Sir Signal to Dr. Oakes,
of Vicksburg, Miss., for $1,200. Sir Signal
is now tbe property of Mrs. E. M. Jones,
' Ontario, Canada, who lives near
• home of tbe famous Mary
Annie St. Lambeth, the cow
that lias a record of 853 pounds of rich
golden butter In eleven months.
Mr. Nisbet then purchased
SIGNAL BOOM,
a son of Sir Signal, fro A Dr. Oakes, and
tites keenly. Roast mutton as was
roast mutton, Hanked by vegetables
and tbe regulation dish of
fried chicken, which can only be had in
the country, and all these topped off with
waterless buttermilk and sweetmilk,
formed a dinner we seldom have a chance
of attacking. And although an old-fash
ioned peach pie was the hereafter, we
could not have asked for any better dessert
than tbe rich Jersey batter, with its gol
den color and dsicious flavor.
WILL STOCK BAISIKO PAY 7
Now that we have gone over the planta
tion and haye enjoyed the dinner, let us
look into the matter of profits of stock-
raising. We have before us a letter writ
ten to Judge Bartlett by Mr. C. W. Jor
dan, formerly ot Jasper county, but now
of Cleburne, Texas.

Funeral of Col. Cur ton.
Tho funeral services of Col. C. a Guyton
were held at bis late residence In Laurens
county on Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
The attendance of people was said to have
been the largest ever witnessed in that sec
tion of the State on a limilsv occasion, tbe
gathering numbering at least two thous
and people, who, on only one day's an
nouncement ol bis death, had assembled
from twenty-live miles around, embracing
citiiens from Laurens, Johnson, Emanuel.
Washington and other counties, composed
of both white and colored persons, who
had come, testifying to tha unbounded
love, esteem and respect in which he was
held by all. Everyone seemed to mourn
his demise as the death of a brother or
dearest friend, andpirtlculrriy remarks-
i' ir u as the deep sorrow of the colored peo
ple, who wept In tree anguish of heart at
they thought of "Mars Cmcl” as dead.
Tbe family burial ground from tbe late
home of the deceased is a mile distant, and
tbe funeral procession of vehicles extended
In one unbtnksn line over this entire dis
tance, and when the bead of the procession
had reached tbe grave the last mourners at
the home had not yet driven into the lire
of procession, while along the roadside
hundreds of persona walksd to the cere
ctery.
Colonel Guy ion was buried by tbe service
of the Methodist church, in which faith he
had been reared and had publicly pro
fessed and zealously followed. He was a
member of tbe Wrights elite lodge ot John
son county, tbe membersof which attended
tbe burial and performed the solemn ai d
impressive ceremony of the Masonic fra
ternity. It fa universally admitted that
Colonel Guyton was the most honored,
useful and dearly beloved citizen
ot Laurens county, and as
anotherevidencaot the esteem in which he
was held, it may be stated that when the
announcement of bla death wgs made in
Dublin on lait Saturday afternoon the
stores were quickly closed and all busineti
suspended, not by any concert ot action,
bnt by the promptings of deep sorrow each
one felt at Col. Guyton's death. Many of
the stores were also draped In crape,

TOO MUCH MGRPHINt

Americas Singleton, wife of Hudsou Sin
gleton, a negro driver on one of Wolff
Bros.’ drays, died about 12 o'clock on Sat
urday night from an overdose of morphine,
administered by herself with suicidal in
tent.
She was, since tba surrender, a servant
on the premises of Judge T. O. Holt, and
she was much thought of by the family.
A few months ago her health became
■o impaired mat tha left Judge
Holt's employ and went to live with hia
mother mar the corner of College and
Boundary streets. She had accumulated
property to the amount ot about (IfiOO
or V-'.i" and with tbe rent was able to live
acre cash. An acre of most of the land
in the middle Georgia will furnish as much
grazing as the
IIKST GRAZING LANDS
In Texas while it takes Irons ten to twenty
acres of average grazing land per head.
He says that middle Georgia will
support more stock per acre tbe year
round than Texas, and Georgia cattle are
equal to Texas cattle. A four-year-old ox
sells for from flO to $G0 to be sbipped.nortb
to be com fed. Chicago, the great beef
market, is nearer to G corgia than to Texas.
Mr. Jordan says that if we take a place,
put fifty cows upon it, and plant cane on
the creek land to feed them in the winter,
and tben just let them alone for three or
four years, we can sell between 73,000 and
71,000 worth of stock therefrom.
Georgia raised stock will command a
better price in St. Louis and Chicago lhan
Texas raised, because there is no danger
of tbe Texas lever.
This ought to set our people to thinking,
and we are glad that Messrs. Nisbet and
already thought about it and

AN EXPERIMENT.
To increase the stock farm, and as an
experiment, Messrs. Nisbet and Plant
concluded to tee how the Holstein
cattle would stand onr cli
mate and produce aawellasthejerseys.
Mr. Nisbet went to Mississippi last June
and purchased a Netherland hull. Mr.
Plant has jnst returned from a trip North
where he visited tbe finest herds of fancy
cattle In the United States, and where be
f iurchased an iqbred Aaggie h, ifer at a
abulous price. This heifer is bred to

What can be done with the Holstein re
mains to be seen.
THE STOCK rAKM,
More is expected from the stock farm by
way of profits than from the raising of the
Jerseys. With a pasturage of 1,000 acres
of land, which is dotted here and there by
springs and crossed and recroescd by
branches, and withal the Tobesofkee creek,
there Is range for 1,000 bead ot cattle for
beef. The fifty head now on the place If
not in clover have an abundance of Ber
muda grass and young cane that grows
near tbe creek.
This herd la conatantly Increased, and
In a few yean from now Macon batchers
will be slaughtering well-fed beef from

Southdown and Cotawold are tba .two

have plenty of room and require bnt little
attention.
Tbe goats, and their name la legion,
tamper all over tbe place, and require no

hundreds of little kids, and tiiey want no

short while ago, and before he could
find a remedy nearly seventy-five dead
bogs were on bis bands. The pigs find an
abundance of feed, and give Mr. Nlabet
but little trouble.
now TUB STOCK IS CASKS FOB.
At considerable expense, Ur. Nisbet re
cently erected a windmill by which water
from an extra large well la forced Into a
tank about forty feet from the ground.
Through pipes tbe water Is from tbe
tank conveyed Into tbe cow lot and
stables, and by this meant tbe cows and
other stock near tbe bouse are supplied
with fresh water. ,, „
Tbe cow house la ample, and in it each
cow bas a separata stall The floor fa kept
supplied with an abundance of clean
straw, and that which la used Is of coarse
converted Into manure. Everything la
kept clean, and tbns disease la kept away
aa much as possible. The calves are cared
for as so many children.
A SLOCK or TV aKXYS.
While Mr. Nlabet and Mr. Plant are
looking after their cattle, Mrs Nlabet bas
charge of a tiuckof brooie turkeys, and
•he bas learned well their peculiar!ura. To
bunt for a turkey neat la moat perplexing
if you do not know their habile. They will
lead you everywhere, except to tbe neat.
Mrs. Kisbet says after tbe first two weeks
of a turkey's life they are no trouble to
raise. Some time ego Mr. Nle-
bet scut to Mlaalsaippl after
three brooze turkeys. A fox made a meal
of one. a gate fell down upon another, and
tba third now stalks about tbe yard proud
ly. Mrs. Nfa bat it devoted to tbe turkeys
end they have learned to follow ber almost
like children.
There are but few chickens on the lot,
turkeys prosing tbe moat profitable.
