Dear Sib: “The carp have laid, and
hatched. Millions of little ones swarm
in my pond. 1 noticed them on the
12th of this month spawning, and taw
their eggs on the grass and meshes this
morning. I happened to look in the
■water and saw millions of them. They
are in droves or schools from one end
of the dam to the other for four hun
dred feet and yet there are countless
numbers of eggs yet to hatch, and still
they are spawning. I notice that they
lay early in tho morning ami stop
when the sun is up—good. Please ac
cept my heartful gratitude.

snow falls msy be looked for in the

There wilt in all probability be snow

of the month.
After the 18th of May, however, hot

Under this heading the Atlanta Con
stitution of yesterday sound* a note of
warning, by reviewing the condition of
the forage market That paper calls at
tention to the fact that timothy hay is
now selling in Atlanta at 61.75 a hun
dred pounds, and is very scarce at that,
and growing scarcer. The stocks of
forage in the West are said to he ex
hausted, and there la therefore a pros
pect of higher prices itill. The matter
has already become serious, adding as it
does so large a cost to alt business en
terprises requiring horse labor. The
cropi of rate and wheat will be smaller
than usual and th* straw will not sup
ply the deficiency. We have, there
fore, a long season ahead, until the mid
dle of summer when forage begins to be
gathered, of a regular forage famine.
Our contemporary sensibly suggests
as a remedy that onr fanners should pay
especial attention to raising large and
rapid forage crops, especially recom
mending pea culture, tho vines to be
used as hay. We commend the sugges
tion, and wonld urgo upon planters in
Southwest Georgia the importance of
planting peas between corn in old fields,
and in every space, nook and comer of
the farms.

Sam* Sunday Might PI*tol Practice.
At about half past nine or ten o’clock
on Snnday night the residents in the
neighborhood of that vile public nuis
ance on Flint street commonly known
as “Georgia Ann Flagg's House,’’ were
startled by the reports of several pis
tol shots, fired in rapid succession, and
accompanied by caning. Georgia Ann
Flagg, the mistress of this miserable
hovel of colored prostitution, made it
convenient to leave home a short time
before the recent session of the Super
ior Court, and has not yet returned.
Her son, Bob Wicks, is “boss” daring
her absence, and on Sunday night a
party of negro men went to the house
and knocked for admittance. For some
reason they were refused admittance
by Bob Wicks, when they threatened
to“bursttliedoordown.'' Boblhreaten-
ed to shoot into them if they did, when
they went around to a window and
broke that open. As toon as they
broke the window open Bob commenc
ed firing on them from the inside, and
one of the missiles from his little pis
tol took effect in Rate Watson’s thigh.
Watson or somo one else in the crowd
oatade returned the ’fire, but no one
inside was hart Wo were able to
learn the names of only two of the
window-smashing crowd—Rafc Watson
snd Henry Pearson—bnt learn that
there were half a dozen or more of
them. .
One would naturally suppose that
after such a disturbance as this is re
ported to have been that there would
have been some arrests before the dis
orderly and boisterous crowd dispers

case.. We learn, however, that the ease

I wejhave a ease tha
j ed with gloom. 1
j we have been abti
j briefly as follows:
At an early hour on Sunday morn
ing Mr. Stephens, accompanied by his
i uncle, Cspt. J. G. Stephana, drove up
I on the East sida of the river, where
| Mr. J. G. YoLDg had a fish basket It
| seems that Mr. Yonng had gone off
| somewhere, and had left hi* boat key
with Mr. Stephens, telling him that he
might take the fish from the basket
during his absence. Rising early Sun-.,
; day morning, Mr. Stephens, accom-
j panied by hi* unci*, drove aboutamile
and a half up the river to where the
j tUh basket wav. After raising the
I basket and getting it into thejboat, Ur.
1 Stephens concluded that he would take
I it lower down the river and sink it at
| the month o( the creek. When he had
proceeded half way across the river
and some distance from where his
ancle was standing, ho hailed the latter
and told him to drive on back to the
bridge and wait there for him—that he
(Robert) would pat ont the besket at
the mouth of the creek and go on down
the river in the boat.
Capt. Stephens drove back to the
bridge and waited a reasonable time for
Robert to arrive, but the latter never
came. Finally the boat in which he
was last seen came drifting down the
stream. It wat brought ashore; the
fish basket and some fish were in it
but Robert Stephens—where waa he 1
The silent waters of (ho deep Throna-
tecska will not answer, nor will they
yet give np their dead, if indeed, as all
the circumstances seem to indicate, the;
hold the now lifeless body of Robert
Stephens in their cold embrace.
Diligent search has been made in
vain'for Mr. Stephens or some trace of
him. The only trace of the missing
man that has been found to far is the
bat which he wore. This drifted ashore
and was picked up by a negro woman
about noon Sunday. Various are the
theories advanced upon his mysterious
disappcsrnce; but the only - reasonable
conclusion to be arrived at after all is,
that he fell overboard and was drown
ed. No one has been found who saw
or heard anything of him after he spoke
to his ancle from the boat in the mid
dle of the river. The current of the
river, especially about the mouth of
Kinchafoonee creek, is very strong and
Mr. Stephens may have lost his bal
ance in some way (perhaps whijf in
the act of lifting the fish basket) and
been swallowed by one of the
terrible “suck-boles’’ that are so num
erous in this part of the river. He was
in general bad health, and was very
weak—too weak to have stood much
exertion, and those who are best ac
quainted with hia physiol condition
ran easily account for his being unable
to swim with bis clothing on in th*
swift current of th* Flint. Another
theory advanced by some of his most
intimate friends and relations is, we
understand, that he might have been
seized with a fit and 'fallen from
the boat in an unconscious snd helpless
condition. Ho complained to hia ancle
of feeling badly that morning, and it is
thought that perhaps he exerted him
self too much in m inaging the boat, and
{hinted from weakness. This theory is
supported by the fact, too. that Mr.
Stephens has been attacked with some
thing like epileptic fits on two or three
occasions.
Mr. Stephans leaves a wife and one
child to mourn his loss, and it is need
less to say that the bereft wife is
frantic with grief. She has the deepest
sympathies of onr entire community in
her sad bereavement. The blow also
falls heavily upon^CapL J. G. Steph
ens, who has no family of his own, and
waa strongly attached to Robert, whom
he brought np in business, and toward
whom he has always manifested the
feelings of genuine filial affection.
Although a large party was on
the river nearly nil day Sun-’ay and
yesterday, dragging for the body, it has
not jet been found.

FOUND.
THE BODY OF Till. K. S. STEPH
ENS HECOY EKED AT EAST.
Coroner’* Inquest—A Night Burial.
Abont 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
the news that the body of Mr. R. S.
Stephens, whose supposed drowning on
Sunday moraine last was reported in
these columns, spread over the city like
wild-fire, and soon hundreds of curious
people were assembled on the river
bank just above the railroad bridge,
where the body had been taken from
the water.
The body was discovered slowly
floating down the river near the east
ern bank by Capt J. G. Stephens and
Mr. Joseph Gilmer, the ancle and the
father-iA-law of the deceased, who, as
sisted by a few friends, have kept a
constant vigil over the river ever since
Sunday morning. The body was towed
across the river and landed on this side
opposite where it was discovered. It
was then brought up to the Welch Se
Bacon warehouse, where an inquest
waa held by Coroner Wilburn, the ver
dict of tha j ary being, in substance, that
the deceased came to his death by ac
cidental drowning.
As the body hid been in the water
nearly four deyr, it was found necessa
ry to, bury it with as little delay as
possible, snd preparations for the bur
ial were commenced at once.
The remains were placed in a hand
some casket, and at about 8 o’clock
were followed to tbe city cemetery for
burial by a Urge number of our citi
zens, the long procession being heeded
by the Albany Guards and the mem- j
b*rs of Albany Lodge, F. A A. M., of
which organization deceased was a
member.
We hare never witnessed a more sol
emn and impressive procession than the
one of last night. The roll of the muf
fed drum, the solenn tread of masons,
soldiers and citizens made *he occasion
impressive The darkened hour of
night, a iky bedecked with twinkling
stars, which seemed as miniature win
dows to a brighter world beyond, in
spiring hope, presented a lesson which
cannot soon bo obliterated from the
memories of those who witnessed the
scene; and as this orderly concourse
marched into tho silent city of the
dead, where no light save that of the
grave-diggers' torch guided to’the spot
where Robert Stephens’ body was to
find a last resting place amid sweet-
scented flowers, emblems of love for
departed souls, while the mocking
bird rarroHed its lovely notes from
tho green trees which shade the quiet
walks, all hearts and souls were vividly
opened to receive the impressions of
the hoor.
At the grave the Rev. R. T. Hanks, at
tho request of the family of Mr. Ste
phens, made a few remarks appropriate
to the occasion, and offered a prayer,
after which the usual burial services of
the Masons was held.
The scene at the grave by torch
light was a solemn and impressive one,
and one that will live long in tbe mem
ories of those who were present
After tho Masons had performed
their funeral rites and paid the last sol
emn tribal* of affection to their departed
brother, they gave way to the Guards,
who formed a line and fired three vol
leys over the grave of their dead com
rade.
Robert Stephans is no more ! Peace
to bis memory!

Dear Sir—Permit me to thank you
for advising me to take HILL’S HEP

you nirected, and was entirdly relieved
from a severe headache and general de
pression, that caused me to fear a spell
of sickness. It is a good medicine.

Joe Ellis, wc took a short ride to see
what was being done. About one and
a-half miles from town, on the Haw
thorne Trail, wo found Messrs. Scaifc
j A Thompson. These two young gen
tlemen were “making brick.” Mr.
j Thompson waj overlooking the clay
I nau ing, while Hamp was ’ playing
Mason, and was absolutely putting op
tbe kiln with Ills own hands. He had
CTen caught the laborers’s songs, and
in (be intervals of his conversation
j with us ha would hum away on a tune.
These yoang gentlemen will burn
brick enough for two stores.
—Not far from Scaife A Thomp
son's we found another brick yard,
where everybody were busy and every
thing moving on as if directed by an in-
telligent mind. This was the ramp of
Mr. E. T. Kendrick, of Thomasville.
At a glance it was evident that Mr.
Kendrick understood hia business.
While performing in a hurry, too, the
hardest kind of labor, yet the sable
sons of Ham went at it as if to a frolic.
Tha negroes’ musical talent and incli
nations seem a great aid in making
light hia task. Even the short while
at Mr. Kendrick’s yard, a shower came
up, driving to their shanties the labors;
yet in a few seconds there was music,
some playing the harp, some the accor-
deon, while others, joined in s chant.
. Mr. Kendrick will bum some 150,-
000 brick and erect two buildings for
Mr. J. T. Owen.
—The Sunday school picnic will be
on the 6li> of May. Dr. Twitty and
T. R. Lyon held a rehearsal at the
Methodist church on Sabbath evening.
The place for the picnic will be the
lake north of the town, known as the
Rock Lake.
—Drs. W. W. Twitty and Will
Wood attended the medical conven
tion at Thomasville. Dr. Twitty
gave us an interesting account of the
proceedings and the banquet. We
would like to bare been a doctor our-
self, to have gotten to that banquet
table. Dr. T. also spoke of the atten
tions to th* body on.the part of the
gentlemanly editors of the Times and
EntervrUt.
—The largo hotel-tho Mitchell
House—is to be increased in rapacity
to fifty more rooms. This brings us
to think how much we need a large,
commodious hotel in our town. Those
wo have are well kept, but they are
too small. The old hotel lot can he
bought for two hundred and fifty dol
lars. The location is desirable for a
public house.' We wish some of our
monied men wonld invest. T. R
Lyon, wa think, suggested the proprie
ty of n company bring formed for this
enterprise.
—Mrs. Hannah Morris and Miss
Sallie Brown, of Atlanta, have been
at the Hnist House for some time.
Mrs. Morris is here for her health, and
has found the climato beneficial.
—Min Susie Spence is on a visit to
her relatives in Calhoun county.
