At an annual reunion at Chapel Church the other day. six miles east of Royston, In Franklin, after dinner, the people were suddenly thrown into such a heat of excitement as Is seldom witnessed, by a p stol shot fr m the hands of Tom Hig ginbotham. who shot and mortally wounded Tom Hubbard.

Tom HJgg.nbctham made his escape and the infuriated fr'ends of Hubbard are to-night scouring the country with bloodhounds in pursuit. Hubbard will die. %ew Variety of Corn. Monroe Advertiser: The Advertiser has run across anew variety of corn that has stumped every farmer to whom we have shown it. It grows the same as any other com. with the exception that every grain has a shuck on it, and the tassel of it resembles heads of wheat and has some twenty strands a foot long, each head containing some hundred or more grains of corn, each grain incased in a ahuck. We propose putting it on exhibi tion at the Macon Street Fair, and if we don’t take the cake, the blue ribbon and several gold medals, it will certainly not be the corn’s fault. In the language of Col. Mulberry Sellers, we’ve found a gold mine, if corn shucks have a market value. Hew Copper nml Gold Vein*. Dahlogena Signal: A few’ days ago a rumor was abroad that some rich copper ore float had been picked up northeast of Dahlonega, and as the property from which is came had no record, it caused a Western prospector and pathfinder to ex amine the locality. As the result of a thorough examination, he has discovered h fine copper vein and a rich gold vein. Mr. A. Winfield Schmidt secured nine op tions on the land from Messrs. John L. and S. S. Gaddis and wili pu9h develop ment on both discoveries at once. The property consists of 361) acres, and Ls situ ated about seven miles from Dahlonega, within the very heart of the gold belt. The formations are mainly hornblende and gneis&ic schists and granite, carry ing quartz veins. Gold can be panned from the mammoth quartz vein. The lucky discoverer states that from the looks of the outcrop on ihe copper vein, or mountain as it is, that it is certainly n bonanza. One whole side of the moun tain appears to be ore. matter. Di*ii ppointment in IVnrhoi. The la*t car of peaches for 190) was shipped from Marshallvllle Saturday, making 400 cars loads for the season. The results of the peach shipment from that place have been a disappointment to all. With few exceptions, the shippers have on hand one-fourth of th*dr ciates over for use another fruit year, which may be next year or three vmus. On account of excessive rain and worms, the loss of peaches has been considerable. Fruit carried very badly or would not hold tip for reshipping in New York. It cost about 90 cents a crate to gather and mar ket a (*so of fruit in New Yprk. and •when it ! considered that more than one half of this year’s er:p sold for $1 per case average, it is readily seen that no large amount of net money has been made this year. Also there is to be con sidered the expense of setting out an or chard. waiting three or four years to bear, land occupied and exp r.se of care and cultivation, and especially if the San Jose scale is to be fought. The fruit business around Marshallville is some what discouraging. However, the fruit acreage in this community has been very much increased the past two years, and in two years no doubt this will he the largest shipping section in the state. FLORIDA. Tampo Tribune: The "Yellow Train" service between Tampa and Port Tampa has been discontinued. The people of the Port seriously .objected to It as a too evi dent reminder of the fever, and demanded that the railroad "quit" running It. Oenla la Mot Frightened.

Orange Tree* Improving. The orange trees around Orange City j have made an unprecedented growth this season. Healthy, vigorous trees are the rule, and the prospect for fruit in many of the groves is good. Summer fruits have been produced in quantities, and late peaches, plums und pears are now abundant. ✓ Steamer Quickly Loaded. The Norwegian steamer Mathilda ar rived at Fernandina on Sunday, July 29. and commenced taking on cargo Monday morning, and was loaded and ready for sailing Wednesday evening, having taken on as cargo 2.500 tons phosphate rock und 7 000 barrels naval stores.

That community, and also that of New Augustine, has been pestered a great deal lately by canines that appar ently have no masters. In Friday night's massacre several valuable dogs fell vic tims to the poisoned meat. It is not known who is responsible for the rid dance. Owners of valuable dogs that died are on the warpath.

Wh le there was only a fair demand, It was understood factors were making deliveries freely, which helped to keep the market fairly clear of accumu lations. Factors feel confident that the price hajy about reached bottom. This view Is not entertained by buyers, how ever. who are said to have bid 39 cents during the late hours. While the morrow always has its usual surprises in store, It Is not thought one of them will be any jliCding on the part of factors, as they seem firmly convinced that the market has gone about as low as conditions war rant. The receipts continue to cut a big figure. Th?y ere pretty free for the rea son the w.ather Just now is favorable, and farmers are making the best of it while it lasts.

New Y'ork, Aug. 6—The cotton trade, with the Liverpool market still closed, af ter Saturday’s holiday, was naturally a timid one. The' room traders, expecting bearish cables to-morrow to follow the brilliant accounts that have been chbled since Friday, and also expecting a bear ish weekly government report to-morrow, were inclined to sell, whenever moved to trade at all. But as a class, they pre ferred to hold oft for actual advices from Liverpool and Washington. After opening steady at unchanged prices to a decline of 5 points, there was a still further de cline of 1(?6 points. Then followed a sharp reaction of 12*5T0 points, with the market finally barely steady at a net advance of 4@B points. Liquidation of long accounts I was the feature of the early market, and Covering of the latter business. Wide or ders wore scarce; those reaching the mar ket generally went to the short side of the account, particularly the orders from the South, following reports of weak spot mar kets there and a continued brilliant crop outlook. The reports from spinning dis tricts and cotton goods markets furnished no encouragement. The feature of the movement was the receipt of twenty-five bales of new cotton at Galveston, against twenty-eight bales the corresponding day last year. FLUCTUATIONS IN FUTURES.

New Orleans wires: “Cor tespondents at Pine Bluff, Ark., says: ■Poorest crop ever seen; thousands of acres abandoned.’ " Another New Or leans telegram says: "Our Alexandria correspondent Just over the ground re ports crops. Baton Rouge Junction worst he ever sow. The plant small, fruit scarce, leaves turning yellow." Cotton since noon has ruled quiet and rather featureless, fluctuations being con fined to narrow limits. Private advices about the crop are of a very unfavorable nature, New Orleans bulls hove been send' lng poor reports of crop in the Mississippi valley and Texas. The United States gov ernment weekly report, due to-morrow, will probably be quite favorable. At tho moment, operators are bidding up market, expecting to be bullish Liverpool news in the morning. Galveston gets 25 bales of new cotton to-day, against 28 lest year, but last year’s Texas movement was early, owing to drought. Market is due a reaction. New York. Aug. 6.—Hubbard Bros. A Cos. say: Liverpool remains closed un til to-morrow, when the trade expects a weak report, based oh the decline in the American market and the beginning of the movement tp market of 4he new crop in Texas. Crop accounts are generally favorable, the South selling on the open ing with the local traders buying on the idea that the foreign markets would not be as weak as anticipated. This buying caused a reaction when the market be came dull. There is little demand as yet fnr outside Investment buying, as they see no Improvement in the trade, nor anything in the crop advices to in duce them to become buyers at present prices. August is relatively the strongest position due to our small stock which Is principally owned by Liverpool brokers, who may take the cotton tendered. DHI GOODS. New York, Aug. 6.—The general demand for dry goods has been fully up to last week's average. More doing In prints. Bleached cottons quietly steady. Wide sheetings In moderate request. Brown sheetings and drills inactive and irregu lar. Coarse colored cottons irregular. Print cloths firm but quiet. Men’s wear woolens In moderate request. Dress goods quiet. NAVAL STORES. Monday, Aug. 6. SPIRITS TURPENTINE-The turpen tine market closed firm to-day at 3944 cents,a decline of 44-cent below the open: lng price. The opening was firm at 40 cents, with sales of 184 casks at this price, and the closing firm at 3944 cents, with further sales of 162. At the decline there was the usual indifferent demand, due to the fact that the traders are not fully settled as to when the downward tendency will he checked. Buyers led oft during the late hours by bidding 39 cents, but factors snowed fight and gave evi dences that they intended to stand pat. From appearances the market is Just now In position where both the selling and the buying element are endeavoring to gain points. It was not understood that any thing was let go for less than quotations. Factors are making deliveries freely, it is stated. The day's receipts were 1,250 sales 346. and the exports 296 ROSINS—The rosin market closed firm, with the only change an advance of 5 cents on M. Otherwise the official market was unchanged. It was reported that pales sold 5 cents above quotations, but it was not understood that enough chang ed hands to make the advance the mar ket, unless further sales were added to the first.

STOCKS AND BONDS. Early Dealings Show Some Revival of Streagth. New York, Aug. 6,-The early dealings in the stock market showed a survival of last week’s strength, but it gave way in face of the day’s developments, and the market yielded whatever gains had beea established. The final prices, measured in compari son with the high level of the day, show some considerable losses, and are the gen eral rule. The early movement was es pecially notable in the Pacifies, Northern Pacific taking the lead on the theory that Its price was not commensurate with the level of Union Pacific and Missouri Pa cific. Union Pacific also continued firm. Reading first preferred was taken In quite large amounts on the supposition that the dividend rate would be increased at to-day’s meeting. The stock fell back IV4 with the declaration of the same rate of dividend as the last was announced. Sugar weakened on the report of the shading of several grades of soft sugar which was taken to indicate a renewal of competition in the trade. The more cheerful feeling regarding the iron and steel stocks, which ha* been in evidence for'some time past, lifted prices in that group. Colorado fuel was con spicuous. The preferred stock was bid up from 120 to 125, at w'hlch price 100 ohare* changed hand*. The bid price was then further advanced to 137V4. without bring ing in out stock. This stock is cumula tive, and is entitled to 20 per cent. In back dividends. The movement is supposed t foreshadow the payment of an installment of the arreage. of dividends. The steel group weakened later In the day. The circumstantial accounts from Pituburg of extensions by the Carnegie looking to competition with some of the new combi nations affected the group, especially Fed eral Steel and Steel and Wire. The more serious phase developed In the Chinese situation had aome effect on the market, although the London exchange was closed and the influence of fhe news there could not weii be measured. Preparations for exports of gold on Wednesday were reported, though no defi nite announcement was made of engage ments. Sterling exchange rose an addi tional fraction, but still falls short a shade of what has been regarded as the export point to London. The subscriptions in New York to the r.ew issue of British ex chequer bonds are generally regarded a* the immedia.e cause of the outward movement. It is evident that these sub scriptions would not necessarily -demand an outward movement of gold, as the country’s very large credits abroad would he ample to cover the subscriptions, but the urgent need of the London money market for gold may have led to some special provision that the underwriting syndicate should provide that metal to payment of the bonds. There is a large demand for the bonds, as a matter of course, in view of the fact that American railroad bonds of high grade are finding their w ay home by every steamer,and for eign railroads and industrial securities are not in favorwfth American capital, owing toa declining tendency of earnings abroad. Opinion here as to the effect on the money market has crj’stalized Into a conviction that no severe strain need result. The feasibility of any large speculative move ment in view cf the coming demand on the money market is much doubted. The bond market continued at a very iOw ebb of activity and the movement of prices was slight. Total sales, par value, $740,000. United States old 4’s declined 14 in bid price. total sales of stocks to-day wera 178,300 shares, including Atchbon 11.280; Rock Island, 5,600; Missouri Pacific, 6,430; Northern Faclflc, 8,570; Reading firsts, 11,. 400; Union Pacific, 28,260; Sugar, 10 565.
