A representative of the News asd
Advbbtisss had the pleasure of meet
ing at the office of our esteemed fellow-
townsman, Hon. Wm. E. Smith, Sat-
turday morning, the Hon. Geo. W.
Ladd, of Maine, who passed through
our city re route home from Florida
Passengers traveling this rente have
abnit two hours between trains at this
point, and Mr. Ladd took advantage of
the opportunity to pay his respects to
Capt. Smith, whom he had met and
learned to appreciate at Washington.
Mr. Ladd is a Democrat of the old
school, and enjoys the high distinction
of being the only Democrat elected to
Congress from the State of Maine dur
ing the last twenty years. He was a
member of the last Congress, and has
been re-elected. He expressed him
self xs highly plaesed with his visit to
the South, mod said that he hxd been
most favorably impressed with Sooth-
west Georgia. He traveled by private
conveyance from Tallahassee, FBl, to
Thomasville, and said that he never
saw a finer country in his life, and that
he failed to see what he would call a
“poor farm" oa the ontire rente. He
regards the timbered lands of South
west Georgia ms very valuable, and
says that their development is only a
question of time.
In response to a question as to what
he draught of the future of the Demo
cratic party, Mr. Ladd advanced a new
idea, which occurred to us to be a
good one. He said that he never ex
pected to see any one man lead the Na
tional Democracy to victory—that the
personal popularity of no man could
cover the vast territory of the Bepublic
and cope successfully with the organiz
ed forces of the great party in power.
He says that a combination can he
formed, however, which would make a
Democratic victory certain; and his
ides is to form such a combination by
selecting a Cabinet at the time the can
didate for President is nominated.
Thus he thinks that leading men from
different States might be enlisted in
tho campaign, and that every man so
enlisted might form a co-operative com
bination in his State which would in
sure snecess.
We are sorry Mr. Ladd’s stay in our
city was so short, sod that so few of
our people had the pleasure of meet
ing him.

The Spring term of Dougherty Su

morning at 10 o’clock, His Honor Judge
Arthur Hood, of the Pataula Circuit,
presiding. Judge Hood was called in
this week for the purpose of disposing
of criminal cases in which Judge Flem
ing was at one time interested as Solic
itor-General.
The Judge's charge was pointed and
exhaustive. First calling special atten
tion to county affairs, and urging dili
gent enquiry into these matters by the
jury, he dwelt at considerable length
upon the evil practices of liquor drink
ing, gambling, carrying concealed weap
ons, disturbing religions worship—sod
was etpecialy severe upon liquor deal
ers who sell on Sunday and who fur
nish minors and intoxicated men with
liqnor. His charge was, ia fact, a
strong terpennee lecture, and we
doubt not will accomplish good.
The Grand Jury was organized by
electing Mr. L. E. Welch Foreman.
It is composed of some good material,
and we doubt not, with the able charge
of Judge Hood(to guide them, and the
energetic assistance of Solicitor-Gener
al Walters, will finish up all the work
that comes before them.
The Court entered at once upon the
criminal docket. The most important
case is that of the State vx Lewis Bar

mentionof the fact that thechicken chol-
erawas raging inthe cityand vicinity,and
killing out the chickens at an alarming
rate. We also stated that we had had
some experience in the matterof raising
chickens, and that we bad never yet
found a specific for cholera; that, in
onr opinion, the best thing to do with
a cholera stricken chicken was to kill
it at once, and use all the precautionary
means possible to prevent the
from spreading to the others.
One lady who read the article, bat
who asks that we “don't pat her name
in the paper," rends ns the follow
ing:
Messrs. Editors: If yon think it
worth while to pat tho below receipt
in your paper do so, from one who has
tried it for years. I always had a
great many chickens and turkeys, and
sold not less than one hundred of the
former and three times that many of
the latter each year. I lived then in
Decatur county. When I would hear
of my neighbors chickens having the
disease I would right away give the
remedy to mine. It will not onlykeep
the cholera away, bat will care it when
gets among chickens:
Take one tablespoonfoll each of cop
peras, sulphur, cayenne end black pep
per; mix them nil up to a powder;
then take a tablespoonfoll of the mix
ture to one pint of corn meal; feed to
the fowls once a week. It don’t hart
them if given oftener. I have given it
to mine as often u three times each
week.
Another lady sends us word that she
knows chicken cholera can be eared by
simply giving the fowls a little salt She
says that she has tried it a number of
times, and has never failed to core her
chickens with it. She mixes a little
salt in dough, and feeds it to the fowls,
say three times a week, taking care to
keep it away from the little chicks. It
is generally known among chicken rais
ers that salt is fatal medicine for yonng
chickens; bat onr lady fnend says that
there is no danger in giving it to the
old fowls, and that it is a sure core for
cholera.
Now let those of onr readers whore
chickens are dying with cholera try
either or both of the above remedies aad
see for themselves what virtue there is
in them.

Tho Montezuma Weekly of yeztor-
day has the following article, which
may be read with interest by many In
this section, cspocialy by those inter
ested in the success of our new steam
boat. Says the Weekly:
"Capt Slaughter, the U. S., civil
engineer in charge of tho forces on
the Flint river, says that when logs are
removed from the river that light
draught steamers currying as much aa
600 bales can run up to Monteznms,
without tho necessity of blasting away
the shoals, however, he says the shoals
will be removed for larger boats. This
will be quite welcome news, to the
public, as our farming friends are in
terested in the navigation of the Flint.
Captain Slanghter ia now above Dray
ton, Dooly county, working hit way np
•towards Montezuma, and thinks that it
will not be very long before he will
have dredged the logs to this place. He
says it is ono the finest streams he has
been on in s long time. Sorely Flint
should be made navigable, aa it runs
through some of tho finest farming
lands in this or any other State, and the
swamp on either aide ia peopled with
the (finest oak, ash, hickory, gam,
cypress, maple, white oak and other
valuable building timbers. (While
farther interior the country abounds
in perfect forests of various kinds of
pine timber.’’

Intense excitement prevails in
this county just now over the hor
i riuli* murder of Wiilic Johns, the
man who was suspicioned a* be
ing ihc burglar and burner of Mr.
Daniel toll’ store in this county
Confn-ion exists because of this
■nan’s life being taken on very poor
evidence. He was mistrusted, pur
sued, arrested, tried, convicted and
executed upon tho evidence of not
being able to prove where he stayed
the night of the burglary. He was
tried before Judge Lynch and con
victed to jail. Being placed in the
bands of five guards, they started
to Douglas to deliver him to tbe
sheriff. After having gone s dis
tance of two miles . from the place
of conviction, and entering Seven
teen creek, they met n mob of men,
only three in number, who were
disgnised so as to be unrecogniza
ble. These unmercifkil beings or
dered the surrender of the prisoner,
to which the guards objected. The
mob set into firiug at the guards
and prisoner, but fortunately no
ball took effect. The guards were
at last forced to surrender the pris
oner and retire, being unable to
face their adversaries any longer.
The mob took him to the opposite
side of the creek, and there murder
ed him in ways too tedious to men
tion here. It was then Thursday,
and no search was made for the
victim until Monday, when his body
was found in the swamp with G5
shot in it and his hands brutally
burned. A large block smoke, or
something resembling it, was seen
in the heavens directly above the
body of the victim, before it was
found. The smoke drifted north,
and had no origination on the earth
that could be fonnd after diligent
search. It is rumored by many that
the smoke indicated the innocence
of the deceased, there being nanght
found from which the smoke origi
nated. Tbe body was decently
buried, and its executors had better
pull the freight.

Ihe Wesleyan Advocate that'is sooo ns

to his family the usual “mortuary foes.'
This reminds us of Gen. Toombs, when

Jat Gould, who has recently been

says: “The railroads are improving,

and the alligator crop is still abundant.
In speaking farther of the South Mr.
Gould said: “I was more pleased wide

Mr. Gould said, in conclnsioo, that ho

any estimate of tho value of tho inter
