This
Grasses,
A Macon Telegraph correspondent
in Monday’s Issue gave some interest
ing suggestions on the subject of
grasses. The writer’s attention has
been attracted to the “Iverson Rescue
Grass,” w'hich was introduced as a
winter grass In the South by Mr. B.
V. Iverson, of Columbus, Ga., In
1853.
Judge John Jackson, of this
city, twenty-five years ago, bought, in
Columbus, seed of this grass, and to
day it may be seen in his yard about
two feet high, heading similarly to
oats. It seeds itself and will die in
May and come up again In September.
It is tender and grows rapidly, and
can be grazed through January with
out endangering the crop of seed.
But this Is not snited so well to our
country as a grass that propagates it
self by multiplying its roots, 1. e. not
depending upon tbe seeding foranoth-
er crop. The Orchard grass, the Ber
muda and the Kentucky blue grass all
belong to that genus.
We were recently Informed by
gentleman who had paid some atten
tion to grasses, that the “Texas
Blue Grass,’’ lately introduced into tbe
South met all the requirements of our
section. It seems peculiarly adapted
to a mild climate as a w inter grass,
and though it seeds if not grazed too
closely, yet it multiplies from the root,
and a favorite way of starting It is by
settings. Capt. John A. Cobb, of
Sumter county, has grown this grass
now tor the past few years, and pro
nounces it ap immense success. It is
said that on oar thin pine lands it will
attain a height of two feet, and is so
luxuriant that one acre will afford fine
grazing for many cattle.
This subject certainly deserves the
closest attention of onr farmers, for, if
what is said of this “Texas Blue
Grass” be realized by experimenters,
then we have a country superior for
cattle to the Blue Grass regions of
Kentucky and Tennesse. Onr open
winters enable ns to fatten beeves with
but comparatively little expense.
Tbe News and Advertiser would
be gratified to see our progressive
farmers give this grass a fair trial.
The beautiful suburban borne of Mr.
B. F. Wilder narrowly escaped being
burned on Sunday morning. At 9:30
the fire arouud tiie pot of boiling cow-
food was communicated to the wood
pile, which being Urge and in close
proximity to the servant house,
burned fast and furiously, endanger
ing tiie whole premises. Fortunately,
it being the Sabba'b, Mr. DiXon, the
S. W. R. R. Section Master, was at
home, and he, with all of his hands,
rushed lo the rescue. Dr. W. W.
Bacon, passing jnst at that time, ren
dered valuable assistance in directing
the efforts of the amateur firemen,
who soon removed tbe pile of burning
wood and extinguished the flames on
the side and roof of the servant house.
Tbe loss was inconsiderable, and was
covered by insurance in tbe office of
Messrs. Hobbs A Tucker. Mr. Wilder
had just about completed his improve
ments, and we are glad that his at
tractive house was saved from tne de
vouring element.
Quite a Urge congregation assembled
on Monday evening at the Synagogue
to celebrate the Passover. After the al
ways impressive Jewish service Rabbi
Meyer delivered a beautiful address,
taking his text from the xvi. Chapter of
Deuteronomy, 1st v.: “Observe the
month of Abiab and keep the passorer
unto tbe Lord tby God; for in tbe month
ofAbiah tbe Lord thy God brought thee
out of Egypt by night.” Mr. Meyer
gave a graphic description of the three
elements that developed man, viz
Nature, Religion aud History. He
dwelt upon the oeautfes of tbe spring,
when all tbe earth had emerged from
under winter’s icy sceptre and upon
the God of. Nature, who, upon this,
tbe Hebrew’s natal season, bring forth
the first fruits of the earth, and recom
mended a contemplation of bis good
ness and mighty power.

JT« ruey Cattle.
There are a great many fine regis
tered and graded Jersey cattle in and
around Albany. It will perhaps be
interesting to some of onr readers to
know something of their origin
They were originally imported from
Jersey, the largest of tbe English
channel islands. This group of Islands
contain three famous for their cattle,
Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney, all
short horn cattle, aud though the
islands are almost within m stone 1
throw of each other, yet each has
breeds distinctive in their qualities
and characteristics.
This has been accomplished by
many decades of breeding aud strin
gent Uws against tbe importation of
foreign animals.
All of these islands are dependent
mainly upon their cattle as a source
of wealth, yet tiie iuhabiuuts are
wealthy, aud veritably live on the fat
of the lund, which is milk, butter and
beef, or the income from their sale.

Dr. W. H. Milburn, the present
Chaplain of Congress, lectured in Al
bany in April, 1885, at the -Library
hall. The gentleman Introducing the
Doctor to the audleuce of about ten
was distressed, for fear that something
might happen to discover to the
“Blind Man Eloquent” the small
number of heaters. In the presenta
tion of the Doctor he said, in a loud,
full tone, as if speaking to a packed
honse, “Ladies and gentlemen, in in
troducing the distinguished speaker of
the evening I feel that be is not alto
gether unknown to you, though per
sonally unacquainted with him. His
fame is coextensve with the English
language. Having spent many years
of his life in Europe his distinguished
talents were the “Open Sesame” to
thf best literary circles of England
and the contiuent. He was the inti
mate friend of Carlyle.” Dr. Milburn
rfcing, delivered his famous lecture on
YVbat a Blind Man Saw in Ei.gland.”
After tbe lecture was finished he
touished the geutlcn/an introducing
hhn by giving the exact number in
the audience.

H. YV. Barro Acquitted.
H. YV. B rre, former agent of the
B. A YV. Railroad in this city, who
was committed to jail the latter part
of last summer' upon the charge of
eiubezzlemeut, was set free, Monday
afternoon. His counsel caught the
prosecuting counsel napping, or rath
er took advantage of an oversight upon
their part, and asked the court for a
verdict, after ail tbe State’s evidence
had been submitted. The point raised
by defendant’s counsel was that the
prosecution bad failed to produce the
certificate from the Executive Depart
ment of the State showing the Bruns
wick and Albany Railroad had its
name changed to tbe Brunswick and
Western Railroad, whose money
Barre was charged to have embezzled.
The court sustaiped tbe point and or
dered the jury to render a verdict of
acquittal. Tbe court stated that tbe
evidence was sufficient to carry the
case on but for the failure of the pros
ecution to submit tbe certificate above
referred to.
Barre appeared bn the streets a few
minutes after he was given his liberty,
and seemed to be the same jolly, good-
natured, loquacious fellow that he was
before he went to jail. His former as
sociates and the “boys about town”
generally greeted him kindly, and he
received many congratulations from
them. ^
He came in to see tbe News and
Advertiser folks, and when asked by
one of the scribes how he felt, be said,
“Well, I never did feel like I was
guilty.”
Northern visitors at Thomssville last
The 12,000 persons visitjng
that city must Iiave spent on an aver
age of at leart $100 each. Allowing a
very small per cent, for profits, the
trade must have realized $100,000.
This was the result of continued and
liberal advertising. Several years ago
ThomasviUe invited a large delegation
of influential physicians from the
Northern States to visit the town. The
result was that many advised* their pa
tients to go there to recuperate.
The Commissioners of Thomas coun
ty make an annual appropriation, for
advertising that county, while the city
has for years puisued a persistent pol
icy of flooding Northern States with
printed matter, setting forth its claims
to health and pleasure seekers.
One thing is quite evident that tbe
rigorous winters of the North will
drive each year a greater number
South, aud Albany will not be alive to
its interest unless it uses every legiti-
to secure its quota. Our
climate and city offer superior induce
ments in the way of a dry atmosphere,
natural beauties, railroad facilities,
pleasant drives, and, in fact, every
thing that would make it desirable as a
winter resort.
It is the right and duty of communi
ties to make liberal provision for ad

the object of his search, a maiden ol
thirty-eight summers—a Miss Sallie
Jones—one who would “fill tbe bill 1
and upon whom the old
lovingly dote. :
Mr. Hobby was confronted with one
difficulty, which much perplexed him—
the lady was not “chunky” at all, but
the other way, but was so engaging
and winsome that he disliked to pass
by so excellent an opportunity to serve
his old friend.
He found his way oat of the dis
tressing dilemma by boldly opening
the subject, and to his gratification she
was not “offish” a bit, bat took kindly
to the proposition.
Hobby then made haste to communi

great things he bad done. Dupree
directed him to proceed witfi the
courtship, and thus the affair was ar
ranged for tbe happy onion.

Complaint was made on tiie streets
yesterday by some of our best citizens
as to the expense of attempting to
bring to justice criminals. Tbe ease
specially cited was the State vs. Ed
Harris and Charles Parham alias
Charles Harris. Our readers will re
member that these two negroes were
indicted at the instance of the S., F. A
W. R’y. for forgery, they having
forged conductors* names on wood
tickets, thereby defrauding tiie S., F*
A W. B’y. This was tbe second term
that the case was sounded for trial,
and three employees of tbe railroad
from a considerable distance were in
attendance as witnesses in this care.
Their expense and per diem hills
against the coanty were $139 for this
term. When the case was called by
the Judge, the Solicitor, from some
inherent defect in the bill of indict
ment, had nol prosed the first obtained,
and gone before the present grand
jury and secured a new bill. From
some cause tbe case was again con
tinued.
While a good and necessary law* op
erates to tbe burden of the county iu
this instance, we must not become
restive under it, for witnesses are nec
essary, and the legal provision for
bringlngthem must include reasonable
compensation. And because
young men are connected with the
railroad and have free transportation,
they are entitled to their mileage, If
they demand it. Georgia Legislatures
would not be consistent if they amend
ed the act by providing for such con
tingencies.
One thing, however, to which all
courts and Solicitors should look in
tbe discharge of their duties is, tbe pe
cuniary interest of the coanty, and
favor that as much as practicable. To
this end, when several comparatively
unimportant jail cases cumber tbe
dockets, and a case like this oue under
review, instead of giving precedence to
the jail cases, the one involving so
much expense to the county should be
first called, and the discretion of the
Judge should be used to its limit iu
forcing trial If the ends of justice be
iot jeopardized.

A Good Joke
A popular young huiy who is visit
ing the city has a young pet alligator
that she highly prizes, and caresses
it as though it were a pug or a poodle
dog. On Thursday night several
young gentlemen called on tlr.8 young
lady, aud one of them in leaving man
aged to steal the pet without being de
tected. Of course there was great la
mentation when it was m ssed, as she
could not believe or suspect that either
of the gentlemen would presume to
perpetrate an act o such audacious
larceny.
Yesterday morning the heart of an
ardent admirer of the young lad}*
swelled at the ect-lpt of a box of beau-
tiftil flowers from her, requesting that
lie accept it as a token of esteem and
friendship.
He was in eesfcicies over the flowers,
atul the thought that she appreciated
his devotion to her. On closely ex
amining the fluwers and handling
them caressingly something seized
one of his fingeis, aud as he jerked his
hand *way a young alligator was
pulled out stilt bolding on to his hand.
He screamed iu terror, which, in a
moment, attracted a crowd. He was
more friglitei.ed, however, than hurt.
Knowing how highly Ills fair friend
prized her pet, and that the uote was
somewhat qQeer on its face, he at once
suspected foul play, and Immediately
returned the flowers and ’gator, accom
panying them witli a note advisingher
in future to look more carefully into
the character of some of her visitors,
or at least to keep a better watch over
the “pet.” He laughs best who laughs
last, and who i» the joke on ? Let tiie
reader locate it. If any are carious

Dougherty Coanty llaa One, Too,
On a recent visit to Ruckersville we
were very much interested in a curi
ous tree which is among the shade
trees on the front of tbe old Rncker
place, it is called the cork tree, the
bark of which is very rough and thick,
being to all appearances the precise
material out of which the corks are
made which are made for bottles, jugs,
etc. Jt is supposed that corks are sup
plied from the bark of this tree—we
were surprised to find any of the spe
cies in Elbert county, aud we doubt
if ady other can be fonud In the State
of Georgia. The bark is an inch thick
and grows iu deeply marked ridges,
and you only have to cut off a piece,
and bite orcut it, to be satisfied that it
is the veritable cork.—Elberton Leader.
The cork tree, which is indieguous
to southern Europe and northern
Africa, is occasionally met witlr in
this latitude of* America. There is a
large oue Iu Tallahassee, Fla. Aud
Judge W. r. Joues tells us that there
is a cork tree ou the old Roberts place,
of this county, now owued by Col.
Shephard. It is about thirty years
old to his knowledge.
The cork is a species of evergreen
oak and Is a long lived tree. In .Spain
and Portugal, where the cultivation Is
extensive for marketing purposes, the
tree survives tiie severe scarification
necessary to the removal of tiie outer
bark for 150 years or more. The bark
is cut from the tree every ten or flf-
leeu years, and the quality of tbe cork
improves with each removal.
Hope.
Oh what aglorious relizatiou it is that
there is such a tiling as hope! In the
avocatiou of life as we stand timidly at
the wheel of duty, when every stroke is
an Incumbrance and we are almost over
come by despondency, there is a feel
ing that we-ds its way into our hearts,
replenishes our moral vigor and gives
us new strength. That welcome visitor
is hope!
Hope Is the ruling power of human
nature, it lead* the young as they as
cend the hills of science, brings to light
their latent faculties, and enables them
to lead safely on to the summit of honor
and knowledge it pictures out tbe map

Col. Sam Leak, the rising young
lawyer, a tew nights ago called on his
best girl, and was so completely over
whelmed by the great love bestowed
upon him by her, next morning early
penned the following lines aud had
them delivered by Charley Gilsey, the
ash-tinted dude who occupies the
prominent and responsible .position of
“maid of all work” on law*yers’ row.
We beg leave to state that It is through
the kindness of the Colonel that wc
are able to give the public the benefit
of this noetieal effusion:
Lo*t night I left my heart with you,
A captive to your winning grace;
As you now have one that's kmo and true,
l’ray send me your* to take its place.”
Not to be outdone by the poetical
Colonel, she procured a sheet of waste
tinted uote paper, and replied in tiie
following language:
“If yon have left your heart with me,
I cannot say that I regret it;
And as for mine—well, let me see—
.Call 'round yourself to-night and get It.”

the poorest argurae
thought the judges were a set of mut
ton-heads. Then he went to see tiie
President, aud for tiie first time sus
pected he was an old hypocrite. lie
went back to his office, quarreled with
Ids clerks, kicked the office boy, aud
swore for the first time in twenty
years. On going home that afternoon
he met a very pious clergy ffiau,
for whom he had a great respect,
and who joined him, but before
they had gone ten yards the jud^e felt
that he hat-nl him. He mentioned,
however, that he had given up tobacco
that day. The clergyman shook ills
head. “Ah, my dear friend,” he
said, “I am arraid It was at the devil’s
bidding. I tried it once. It almost
cost me my religion. I scolded my
children, told my wife she was a fool,
got Into a fight with the deacons In
the church, and if 1 hadn’t taken up
sinokingjust In time I’d have been a
miserable reprobate at this moment.
Go and read your Bible, and If you
can find a word in It from Genesis to
Revelations against tobacco come and
let me know. But if you want to save
your soul go back to the noxious
weed.”
All Fun and No Figlit.
The following story from the Selma
Evening Mail carries with it a touch of
human, nature that manifests Itself
elsewhere than in Selma:
A number of our citizens enjoyed a
hearty laugh this morning at the ex
pense of two would-be antagonists.
The larger one of the interested par
ties w as seen to leap from a store on
Broadway and go down the street at
full speed; not alone. how*ever, as he
was hotly pursued by the offended
party, who carried in each hand a
brick, and exclaimed as the chase
grew warm, “If you don’t stop I’ll hit
you with a brick.” The chase was
kept up until the pursued man reached
the corner of Alabama -treet, when he
turned about, and putting on the John
SuIHvnn agony faced the pu -suer, who
in an instant drops the *vcapons and
remarks, “No, sir, I’m not going to
fight you, you have got a pair of shears
iu your pocket.” Ret&liung the Sulli
van agony the young man returned to
his place of business, followed bv tbe
pursuing partv, who had suddenly
become reconciled.
“A little fun now snd then.
Is relished by most of mfen.*'
The Washington Republican has
this tribute to Mr. Turner:
The speech ot Hon. Henry G.
Turner, of Georgia, Chairman of the
Committee on Elections, in closing the
debate ou the Hurd-Romeis contest,
did great credit both to bis heart and
his intellect. -4fc was a clear, concise
and able presentation of the facts, iu
marked contrast to Hurd’s florid decla
mation, and had much u> do with the
result of the vote. His presentation of
the law governing the case was exceed-
ingly telling, the arguments were so
utterly uuausw’eruble as to secure the
requisite number of Democratic votes
to send Hurd to his home and to keep
Romeis in bis seat. Mr. Turner cer
tainly deserves the thanks of every
Republican for the splendid fight he
made against Hurd’s illegal and out
rageous pretensions.

The Leary Courier says that many
thousands of barrel staves are now be
ing brought to WiUiamsburg and
I.eary from tbe white oak hammocks
of the surrounding country, where
they were rived. Quantities of cedar
are also being brought to these places
forahipinent to the northern markets.
Judge Beck, of Morgan, is engaged
on a tremendous contract for staves,
to be shipped direct to Germany,where W hisky .
they will be used in barrels for wine Gin, com;
and beer. The cedar will go princi- “ ””
pally into the manufacture of furni
ture, which commands high prices from
the fact of the high polish it la suscep-
tible of. It see ins that the hard woods
of Southwest Georgia are coining into
notice.
