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 THE STATE F„ 1Ri Technical Education.

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.

We have before us a letter writ ten to Judge Bartlett by Mr. C. W.

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, useful man, an honored citizen and a pure Christian has gone to his bright and bless ed reward beyond the sunset's radiant glow. r [ TOO MUCH MGRPHINt Ends the Lit. of Amsilcus Slnaleton, Bat< ura.li Niaht, 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 " ck' Plant have have established their stock farm.

These are the Jerseys, and from the cows Mr. Nisbet gets the richest, creamiest milk, waich produces butter we poor denizens of the city only sec once or twice a year. 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.

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.
