THE HALF WASN'T TOLD.
Our last week’s reference to the gale on
the west coast didn't reveal half the ter¬
rors of that great calamity. As reports
have come in from the various points
along the coast, it has developed tha t the
August gale on this side would fail to
compare with that which swept the Ala¬
bama and Mississippi coast, and a por¬
tion of Florida and Louisiana, last week.
It is now estimated that some 3,000 per¬
sons perished in the storm, drowned and
killed by Hying timbers and falling houses.
The town of Caminidaville, situated on
Chenierf island, was swept from the face
the globe, and less than 25 houses left
of 1,200, more than 1,000 of the in
habitants being drowned or killed. About
350 vessles are reported as wrecked, and
more than 200 sailors lost at different
p'oints on the coast. The Associated
Press says: “The storm was, beyond all
doubt, not only the worst that has ever
been experienced in the south, but it lias
nevej,* any where been equaled in its
struction of property and its destruction
of human life by any storm confined to as
limited an area.”
IT. C. Passmore, of Kentucky, who
killed Richard Raxtox on Oct. 25, 1887,
was acquitted in Harrodsburg last Sat¬
urday afterpassingthrough fifteen con rts.
The case has cost the state more than
#30,000, and the man seems to have es¬
caped the just penalty of his crime from
public sympathy aroused by his persist¬
ent fight for liberty.
The People's Party paper copies two
editorial attacks on the Democratic ad¬
ministration frbm the Atlanta Constitu¬
tion. “Birds of a feather," etc.—Atlanta
Journal.
Why, that’s nothing: the people’s party
paper here sometimes fills up from the
Constitution. It is so much easier to use
the scissors than the pen, and then the
matter is much better than anything
can be turned out by the ordinary
country editor; and then it is calculated
'to ha ve more weight when duly credited
to a reputed democratic journal.
Mr. R. Summers II ay, until the last few
days a director in the Richmond Termi¬
nal Company, and now the president of
the New'York & Northern and St. Pau
& Duluth railroads has been appointed
co-receiver of the Central Railroad and
Banking Company of Georgia to assist
receiver Comer.
Mr. Hay is a railroad man of wide ex¬
perience, and it is ^asserted that his ap¬
pointment insures the best possible man¬
agement of the Central of Georgia. His
appointment is very acceptable to Mr.
Comer.
The first of the three races between the
American yacht Vigilant and the English
cm ter Valkarie for America’s cup was
sailed at New York last Saturday, re¬
sulting in a victory for the Vigilant,
which came out about seven minutes
ahead in 30-miles race. The second race
was run Monday, when the Vigilant came
out ahead again, this tune more than 12
minutes.
The Valkarie was brought over from
England by her owner, Lord Dunhaven,
at an expense of about $5,000 to make
the contest, and her movements around
New York harbor had got the American
champion to feeling a little shaky; but
the result is restoring confidence, and
everybody expects to see “Jobny Bull”
go back as he came.
A FALSE ALARM.
Recently it has been telegraphed from
Washington that Mr. Springer has sud
denly discovered that the passage of the
Voorhees or Wilson bill would revive the
free coinage act of 1837.
We do not know whether or not Mr.
Springer claims to have made such a dis¬
covery but if he does he is very badly mis¬
taken.
She act of 1873 not only dropped the
silyer dollar which was restored by the
Bland-Ailison act of 1878, but itcontain
ed the following provision:
“Section 21. That any owner of silver
bullion may deposit the same at dollars any mint
to be formed into bars or into of
the weight of 420 grains (trade dollars)
and no deposit of silver for other coin
shall be received .”
The words in italics have never been
repealed. It is very clear, therefore, that
free coinage of silver would not be restor¬
ed by the passage of the Voorhees or the
Wilson bill.
The trade dollar was originally a legal
tender to the amount of fivedollars. The
act of July, 1876, merely took away its
legal tender quality. It did not repeal
the provision of section 21 of the act of
1873 that “no deposit of silver for other
coinage shall be received .”—Atlanta

LITTLE MARY ARDELIA ROGERS.
Mary Ardelia Rogers, aged two years,
eight months and twenty days, the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Rogers, of
Brag, Ga., passed from earth to heaven
Friday, Oct. (»th, about 7:30 o’clock a. m.
The funeral exercise took place at Corinth
church, and was conducted by the Rev.
Mr. Wilkerson, at 5 p. m. same day.
Little Mary was taken sick with fever
just a week before her death. Dr. J. C.
May attended her, and after he had ex¬
hausted all his skill the grim monster,
Death, came and took her from her lov¬
ing family—mother, father, sisters and
brothers—t o H imself.
She was a bright and intelligent child,
and acted as one her superior in years.
8he was a great comfort and joy to her
parents, and the pride of her family; but
God, in his mysterious providence has
seen lit to take her from their loving
kindness to heaven.
May God protect and comfort the be¬
reaved family, and may they exclaim as
David did, “She cannot come tousagain,
but wo can go to her.” We extend our
heartfelt sympathy to the family, and
especially to the bereaved mother.
One more home made sad and desolate
(Vue By the grim and mighty though monster, short, Dgatb! is made.
uioj-e new grave, hearth.
And ; plane is vacant around the

To Tier peaceful home with angels in heaven.
Afflictions, though they seem severe,
Are oftimes mercy sent:
They stop the prodigal’s career,
And cause him to repent.

Here and There in Georgia.
A negro boy was given a sentence of
fifty dollars, and five or six months in the
chaingang, for making a false report of
yellow fever, by Mayor Knight, ot IVay
cross.
Watt and Jeff Irby, of Cassville, have
been arrested and jailed oiutlie charge of
murdering an old negro named Simon
Foster, robbing his body and throwing
it in a well, last spring.
The revenue cutter Boutwell has been
sent out to patrol the coast, to intercept
Brunswick refugees who are reported as
making their way northward in small
crafts, and rendezvousing on the small
islands between Savannah and Bruns¬
wick. They will all bo taken up and sent
to the government quarantine station on
Blackboard’s Island.
Cliff Ness, the 15-year-old son of one of
the wealthiest and most widely known
citizens of Atlanta, ran away from home
some three months. He was stealing his
way back Sunday on a freight train when
he fell between the cars and was so badly
mangled that he died. His father went
to him on a special train, but did not
reach the place until after his sou’s
death.
The beauty, modesty and grace of Hen¬
ry county lassies has become almost pro¬
verbial, and now below we bive an ex¬
ample of what one of them can do in the
way of work when it becomes necessary.
We are informed by a reliable gentleman
that on last Thursday Miss Josie Shaw,
of Wynn’s Mill, picked 449 pounds of
cotton, a record that can be equalled
by but few of the masculine sex of this
county.

I have a nice, select stock of m
Fall and Winter Millinery
