Elbkhton, Ua. , May 11—A
tale of suffer ng aud brutal treat
mem hv a son of his aged moth¬
er who was very feeble is report¬
ed near Wye he v ills, in this coun¬
ty. Jt seems from the reports of
tne iieiglibuis of John Jlinton
that he and his wife treated his
mother shamefully. In the cold
weather o d Mrs. Hinton was
made to cut wood and carry wa¬
ter from a spring up a hill to the
house when she was hardly able
to walk. Hinton’s children were
allowed to heather. Reports say
that she seldom if over leceived
enough to eat aud did not know
what comfort was.
JJHinton "fas sick and had a phy
Rician attending him, and when
the doctor tried to see tho old
woman Hinton and his wife
would not permit him to do so.

THE PROPOSED DUMMY LIME
From Snapping Shoals to One
ot Two or Three Points Now
Under Consideration Should
Bn Built to Conyers, the Most
Accessible Point.
Conyers wants the contempla¬
t'd dummy line from Snapping
-dioals. The citizens of that
dace will, we expect, decide up
iii Conyers as the most accessi¬
ble of the different points con
sidered. However, other points
want it, as witness the following
from the Jackson Argus :
‘The correspondent for the Ar
gus Imd an interview with Hon
\j F. 1 .ivingston on the subject
He is very enthusiastic ovi rthe
matter, lie says : ‘We aie go¬
ing to build the railroad’ It will
be remembered that it was
through the efforts of Col. Li'
ingstou that, the Macon & Nor¬
thern road.was built.
How about having Ibis rail*
road extended to Jackson by
,:,v of Cedar R >ck ? When this
uiili’Uri'l is completed, all the
trade from the lower part of
Henry and Newton countries,
which hmetofoie has been com
mvf to Jackson, will go to our
sister ritv, Oonvers. Thus oi i
merchants will lose all tho trade
from that section.”
Conyers must get the road,
She isseveral miles nearer Suai >
ping Slmals than Jackson, ai d
as stated l>v tlie Argus, by gel¬
ling tin* road our merchants " ill
secure the trade of tlu* section
through which the road runs.

The reports on stock as a rule are fa¬
vorable. In some sections tne cattle
have been affected with red water, and
in others with murrain, and at the re¬
quest of the department the govern¬
ment at Washington has sent an expert
to investigate tne causes of these dis
eases, with a view of prevention, if
possible, in the future. There is a grat
ifying increase in the number of hogs,
which encourages the iiope that onr
farmers are determined to raise their
own meat in the future.
SUPPLIES.
It is very gratifying to note the large
per centage of farmers who have a fell
supply of corn and hay now on hand.
Let us hope that this is an indication
of the beginning of a new era in our
good old state, and that the day is near
at hand when Georgia will cease to ira
port food for man or beast from any
other state in the Union.
“RED WATER.”
Report on Cafes Anion* Cnttl*\ With
Krmedifl for Pr«rrntion nml Cure.
Hox. ft T. Nesbitt, Commissioner of
Agriculture:
Red water (lioema alhomo-a oriel, a
disease affecting tlie bovine tribe com
mou to al! sections of Georgia, and es
pecially in the spring and summer
months—a disease very fatal in its rav¬
ages—the reports from different sec¬
tions of Georgia during the last year
would indicate that it has destroyed
entire herds of cattle with no
signs of abatement.
In my recent visit to Cherokee coun¬
ty, I found three cases suffering with
it. A cow belonging to Mr. Cole, one
of Mr. Pitman’s, and one of Mr. Davis’.
Mr. Roberts lost 14; Mr. Freeman lost
four,. Mr. Barnes lost seven, Mr. Field
lost 12; and many others lost, varying
in numbers by the size of the hefds.
The characteristic symptoms of the
disease aro loss of appetite, standing
sometimes with the back arched, inn
coat looks rough and strong, bowels
may be constipated, or the opposite,
very loose, the discharges sometimes
covered with mticous and again streak¬
ed with blood; the emissions of uriue
at times will be red colored or coffee
colored; the pulse is quick and wiry
with high temperature, a good deal of
nervous twitching in some cases.
The treatment should be—Change
the animals at once to another lot; give
a complete change in feed; open the
bowels with a quart of lard mixed with
one or two ounces of spirits turpentine;
give all tne stock a tablespoonful hypo
phosphite of soda in feed morning and
evening as an antiseptic measure; ona
ounce chlorate of potash in a quart of
v.-ater every four hours; drench in
quart of water; give alternately with
the potash every four hours a table
