' Bow’s This fora Rat Story?
Fish stories and snake stories are
rather dnU tills season; or, at least,
they are late about coming in. The
Indianapolis Netos furnishes the fol
lowing rat story, however, which will
doubtless bold its own with any of the
snake or fish stories thatcome out dur
ing the season:
It is related that hungry rats devour
ed a five pound package of yeast cike
in the / freight house in Middleton on
Sunday, and a few hours later, when the
yeast worked, the noise of popping
rats was heard, and their fragments
strewed the neighborhood.
How About Fenton?
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph sends that paper the
the following, which is printed-under
the bdadiug, “Mrs. Fenton’s Good
Luck’r:
“Mrs. C. M. Fenton, residing on
Bell street, is to-day the mother of
twins—a boy and a girl—weighing ten
pounds each.”
The unenvious women of the land
will be fejoiced to hear of Mrs. Fen
ton's good lack, but the “lords of cre
ation”, that is to say, the generous and
sympathetic fathers of the country,
would .like to knowhow Jfr. Fenton
feels about jt before they forward their
congratulations. ,
Killed a Cow. *
MrrS. F. Price, who resides on
Residence street, heard a cow at his
front gate daring the rain on Sunday
night. He' went oat and latched his
front gate, and to better secure his
garden gate, propped it. Upon wak
ing Monday morning he found the
cow revelling in his green garden. It
proved to be one belonging to Mrs.
Carrie Hill, which seemed very skill
ful in lifting latches, and had for two
successive years destroyed Mr. Price's
garden. He shot it through, and sent
Mrs. Hill word td let the butchers buy
it and procure another, and be wonld
pay her the difference. Mr. Price had
given notice to Mrs. Hill that he would
kill the cow if it raided his garden
again. , '
Bow Will Tbis Do for One?
The Sparta Ishmaelite says:
The snake crop is abundant this year,
but the snake liar is strangely missing.
Possibly he has been engaged by the

Butler, May 26.—Yesterday while
Mrs. C. C. West was feeling in one of

was coiled under it. Colonel West
thinks it got into his pocket while
he was out fishing over two weeks

It may seem a paradoxical assertion,
yet it is nevertheless true, that two
distinct streams, unmixed, flow from
the same well. One stream is, as
nearly as can be analyzed by the
senses, a pure freestone water, while
the other is strongly impregnated with
iron. The mineral flow comes from a.
depth of 630 feet, the casing of which
is a six inch pipe. At that depth the
drill pipe was reduced to four inches,
and the rock was penetrated to the
depth of 750 feet, which gave a flow of
105 gallons to the minute, A casing of
four inch pipe was then inserted into
the larger and forced into the small
four inch well at the bottom. Thus is
presented the novel result of a well
within a well.
A sixteen feet stand pipe into which
the water from the well can be turned
caps the casing, and when the water is
overflowing from that pipe a tumbler
placed over it will form a fountain in
the shape of an umbrella of solid
sheets of water, producing a most
pleasing effect. The waste water is
conducted through a covered aqueduct
Into an orchard of apple trees and
then over minature falls, irigating
strawberry beds and refreshing vege
tation along its banks, the bold clear
stream follows a circuitous waterway
into
THE FISH POND.
In this enterprise Col. Tift takes
great pride, and justly, too. It covers
something over half an acre lying
gracefully in its curvilinear banks.
Two small islands fringed with wil
lows nestle in its placid bosom. A
well, having a subteranean connec
tion with the river, carries off the
overflow, aud no malaria can
be produced by the pure water. The
pond is well stocked with fish—carp,
bream and pe. ch. The Colonel makes
pets of the carp, and on yesterday took
down two pones of bread and whistled
them up to be fed. A ripple in the
water from every direction indicated
that the fish were eagerly preparing to
answer the call. Soon the carp were
seen slowly approaching the crumbs,
and, as they came in greater numbers,
theyjreminded one of pigs in their greed.
These carp were put in by Col. Tift five
months ago only one totwojinches long,
and now they are from eight to ten.
Around the yard Colonel. Tift has six
bearing pecans and his pear or
chard is filled with well fruited trees.
Fig trees abound, and the whole pre
sented a happy scene of a quiet, green
old ace, spent in following the advice
and example of Horace in planting for
posterity. May mnuv years be given
him in wide j to enjoy the comforts of a
home so complete in its appointments.
Tlar Foot Race.
The foot race announced in Fri
day morning's News and Advertiser,
for the purse of ten dollars, which was
to have been awarded In prizes to the
fastest ruuners at the colorea firemen's
tournament on Thursday afternoon,
was run at 6 o’clock last Friday after
noon.
There were six entries, viz: Bryson
Hill, Frank Hopkins, Joe Lowry, Ad
Jeffers, Henry Sander?, Jim Ander
son.
Quite a crowd gathered on Broiul
street at ttie appointed hoar to witness
the race. Frank Hopkins and Joe
Lowry were the favorites, and there
was considerable betting in a small
way.
The distance .was one hundred yards
—three heats—to be run for thq “best
two in three.” Henry Sanders came out
ahead on the first heat, but was closely
followed by Frank Hopkins. The
Judges gave the heat to Frank, how
ever, because Henry started off ahead.
On the second heat Frank Hopkins
made the same good time, and dropped
out of the race as winner of the first
prize. At thexlbse of the third heat
Henry Sanders was declared winner
of the second prize, and Joe Lowry of
the third.
The best time made was 11% sec
onds.
The race was a lively one, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd.
The Corn Crop.
Eveiy day the -prospect for a good
corn crop is growing more flattering.
Farmers should not neglect to take ad
vantage of the seasonable weather to
properly work this important crops
The first consideration should always
be to plant enough to insure a suffi
cient yield for home consumption; but
if that has been neglected it cannot
now be remedied, and all should ad
dress themselves to caring for the grow
ing grain. Many are now baying corn,
and no agricultural country can long
stand such a drain. It impairs the
credit of a section to be compelled to
buy what it should raise in abundance.
The most successful planters of South
west Georgia are those who never bay
any corn.
The present system will have to be
abandoned, else the deficit will grow
larger each year, and eventually ne
cessitate the abandonment of many
farms.
A News and Advertiser man who
was in search of an item, yesterday af
ternoon, was baited by a group of
men who were engaged in a heated
discussion in front of Hilsman A de-
Gr&ffenried’s drag store. Of course,
they were arguing the gubernatorial
question, bat the partical&r feature of
tifiy. We can not believe that this
communication to the Macon paper
emanated from the visiting firemen or
from either of the Cuthbert gentlemen
who accompanied them, one of whom
was one of the judges at the contest.
Cuthbert, May, 28.—The Cuthbert
fire company returned from Albany
this morning, greatly indignant at the
treatment of their neighboring broth
ers. .The contest was won by the visit
ing company; but the Artesian city
company were not hanest enough to
acknowledge their defeat, which they
were compelled to acknowledge at the
last contest, and they determined not
to surrender as the prize remains in
their hands. Albany may expect a
challenge in the early future.

About the Public Schools.
A statement made in the News and
Advertiser last week that the public
or free schools of the city would open
on the 1st of Jane, renders and expla
nation with reference to the white
schools, or the application ofthepnblic
school fund, necessary.
The public schools of the county,
both white and colored, ontside the
city, are all either in session now, or
have closed for the year. Instead of
having separate free schools for three
months begining June 1st, as hereto
fore, the School Commissioners have
decided to concentrate's far a practica
ble, so much of the fond as belongs to
the white pupils of the city, and apply
the same to the Academy. Thjs, how
ever, will not prevent other schools
from opening in compliance with the
law and drawing the amount to which
the pupils In attendance will be entitled.
Each pupil in attendance will then be
entitled to three months’ schooling
free, or the fund will be prorated and
the tuition to be paid by the parent re
duced accordingly. The school at the
Academy will open on the first Monday
in September.
The white public schools outside the
city are not affected by this change,
and the colored free schools in the
city will open as heretofore on the 1st
of June.
The News and Advertiser makes
this statement upon authority of the
School Commissioner.
Our Poor.
Every community has its poor, to
whom more or less charity is extend
ed. Albany is not an exception, but
has within her limits needy persons
who are deserving of charity. Our
citizens generally contribute to their
necessities from a sense of duty, but
many esteem it a privilege to relieve
the distress of worthy but unfortunate
individuals. In nearly every in
stance, poverty is traceable to some
fault of the subject, either a want of
industrious application to work, or, as
is more frequent, a want of judgment
in not providing in times of compara
tive prosperity against the rainy day
that must come into every life. It has
obtained credence, that those on whom
Fortune smiles, frowns on misfortune
in others, hat oar experience teaches
us that hnman nature is more charita
ble than is generally believed. How
ever, there is a disposition in some who
are liberal to withhold contributions
from such as reduce themselves by
criminal practices and lazy Indnlgences
to the extremity of want. It is well to
be judicious in the distribution of char
itable funds as in everything else, yet
the urgency of the demand sometimes
renders it necessary to forget every
other consideration in bearing the cry
of distress. The good people of this
community are much given to charity,
and they require nothing bat an ac
quaintance with need to supply it.
There are few places on earth where
the poor are considered more prayer
fully and helpfnlly. There are angels
of mercy and light in our midst who
minister with willing hands to the ne
cessities of the nnfortnnate and afflict
ed. Every week finds some commit
tee from one of the numerous women’s
aid societies visiting the huts and
squalid tenements of poverty with
love in their hearts and money in their
hands.
The grace of giving is cultivatible,
and grows, as every other faculty. In
strength from constant exercise.
W. T. Jones.
The folowing from the Alapsha Star
is well and truly said of a townsman of
whom Dougherty county is justly
proud.
Judge W. T. Jones, of Albany, au
thorizes us to announce him as a can
didate before the convention to re
present the Second Congressional
district in the National Legislature.
Judge Jones is one or the rising
young men of the district, standing at
present well up among the ablest or
the Albany bar, itself second to none
in the State, and flills acceptably the
position of Judge ot the County Caurt
of Dougherty.
It is most likely that Judge Jones
will go into the convention with three
counties solid for him and will proba
bly get a few scattering votes from other
counties—enough to cause a ripple of
excitement and alarm among the oppo
sition,if be does not secure tnc nomina
tion.
And again, kind words from the
Qnitman Free Press which echo the
good opinion of all who know our wor
thy fellow citizen Judge W. T. Jones.
It is rummored that Hon. \V. T.
Jones, of Dougherty county, will be a
candidate for congressional honors in
the 2nd district. Mr. Jones is Judge
of the County court of Dougherty, ami
is one of the cleverest and brightes:
young men in the district.

A.t last he determined to go to Phila
delphia, but at Lancaster the stage
met with an accident, and Mr. Buch
anan suffered a brokt-u leg. He wrote
again as soon as he was able, but still
heard nothing. Laid up in a country
tavern, in the midst of a phenominal
snow-storm for six weeks, embittered
him, and he wrote Miss Coleman a
letter of fierce reproaches, and then
wrote uo mdre. Now for Miss Cole
man’s past. Her eminently respecta
ble family from the begin’uiug inter
cepted all of her letters and all of Mr.
Buchanan’s. She made all the appeals
to him a woman could make, but she
uever had a line from him after he left
Philadelphia, except that last cutting
letter, and as, unfortifnately, it con
tained nolhiug but bis renunciation of
her, she could know nothing of what
had preceded it. The eminently res
pectable family were satisfied—the
match was broken off by means that
would have landed them all in the
penitentiary in these days. A year or
.two afterward Mr. Bonchanan was In
Philadelphia, and at a ball came face to
face with Miss Coleman. Neither
spoke, and Mr. Buchanan paid marked
attention to another girl present. That
uight a young frieud who was staying
with Miss Coleman said to her, while
the two girls were alone in their room:
“Did you see Mr. Buchanan’s atten
tions to Miss ? Now they might
have been yours had you recognized
him.” 3Ii»s Coleman began to sob
violently. She would nor-be soothed,
and her frieud, becoming alarmed,
called the family. Of what next hap
pened two accounts have been given-
one was that she had taken poison* and
her sufferings afterward came from
that—but those who were near her said
that she simply suffering from uncon
trollable mental anguish. Toward
morning, wheu her pulse had got so
low that it was scarcely . perceptible,
and her iiervous.excitementhad chang
ed Into a profound stupor, the doctors
were sent for. But she was past help.
They never roused her, and she died
the nextdayDf what the doc'ors called
nervous exhaustion, but which goes by
the name of a broken heart. Then the
truth eame to Mr. Buchanan’s ears,
and from that day his bachelorhood
was assured.

I was bora in Dundee, Scotland,
March 1,1882, anil employed my early

Though short iu stature, my weight

As far back as I can remember, I
always felt a keen; innate hatred for the
injustice so persistently meted oat to
the weak by the strong; and many a
youthful riot have I incited among
my playmates at the discovery ol some
glaring piece of cruelty or oppression.
“You wouldn’t do that if 3Iartin Irons

I have suffered frequent insult without
a thought of retaliation or revenge;
but wheu the same insult lias been of
fered one of my weaker friends, I
was ready to take up the cudgels at
once.
I was fourteen years of age when,
with my parents, I lauded in New
York, and saw my first Yankee and
my first black man. The Yankee had
sold the black man a “yaller dog” ‘.or
a shilling, the dog persisted in follow
ing the Yankee, and the black man
wanted the money refunded. Then the
white man ran away, and the dog fol
lowed him. 1 soon learned this to be
an old trick, played alike on black or
white, and ever since I have had an
aversion to a man who owns a “yaller
dog.” .

it, and 1 was generally out of health.
Last spriug for more than two months
I was greatly troubled with a disor

believe was the result of the malaria,
still existing in my system. 1 visited
two or three mineral springs celebrated
for the cure of malarial diseases, with
out the slightest benefit. I was also
treated as the different symptoms de

two months ago, I concluded to try

bad little confidence ot being material

Swift’s Specific
TS nature’s own remedy, made from roots
gathered from the forests of Geoi^ia. The
method by which it is made was obtained by
a half-breed from the • Creek Indians who in
habited a certain portion of Georgia, which
was communicated to one of the early settlers,
and thus the formula has been handed down
to the present day. The above cut represents
the method of manufacture twenty-years
ago, by Mr. C. T. Swift,, one of the present
proprietors. The demand has been gradually
increasing until a |100,000 laboratory Js now
necessary to supply the trade. A foreign de
mand has been created, and enlarged facili
ties will be neeeessary to meet it. This great
