8 GEORGIA AND FLORID A NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IX PARAGRAPHS. Crawfordville Democrat: Mr. J W. Tucker caught Henry last week up in Oglethorpe county. Henry is the negro whom Sheriff Callaway shot at and tried to catch near Lyneville a few weeks ago. Sheriff M. O. Gilmer of Gainesville dame down for Henry Friday last. The prisoner is one of the negroes who killed a young white man In Hall county some time ago. He admits that he struck the man down, but says another negro shot and killed him. The other ne gro is still at large. MR. AKER MAX'S GOOD WORK. Judge Speer's newly appointed assistant United States district attorney, Mr. Alejc Akerman. is making a fine record. Last week he tried thirty cases before Judge Speer and secured convictions In all ex cept four. Mr. Akerman is the son of the late Amos T. Akerman of Bartow county, who was attorney general under President Grant’s administration, who it would seem has transmitted to the son some of his great legal ability. MUCH SMALL GRAIN PLASHED. Athens Banner: It is a noticeable fact that in this section of the state there has been a great increase lately in the sow ing of small grain crops by the farmers. The amount of smaH grain raised this year will be over double that raised a year or so ago. Patches of oats, wheat and other grain are seen on every side in the country, and the indicat ions are for a bountiful yield this year. It is said that tile stand of cotton in this section is the poorest that has ever been at this season of the year in the last several years. DROPPED DEAD IN THE FIELD. Newman News: Henry Collins, a young white man living on Capt. J. D. Sims' place near the line of Heard, was found dead Monday afternoon. He was plowing out in a field, and missing him the father went over about the work to find his son cold in death near his plowstoek. There were no marks of violence or evidences of a struggle. The mule was unhitched and grazing near by. and the solution ! that the young man became sick and pre pared to leave the field, tvhen he was overcome, and passed away without a soul near to soothe in the dying hour. UNIVERSITY VLlctni BANQUET. Athens Banner: The committee in charge of the alumni banquet at the ap proaching commencement have mailed out fifteen hundred notices to os many alumni of the University of Georgia, tell ing them of the arrangements that are being made for the banquet, the time, place, etc. The committee found some difficulty In getting a hall large enough to comfortably accommodate the large num ber of alumni who are sure to attend. After a thorough consultation on the sub ject. the committee decided to hold the banquet at the Swift building on Foun dry street. The large room will be put in beautiful condition and handsomely decorated for the occasion. It Is expect ed that fully six and possibly seven hun dred aiumr.l will gather at the banquet, and on that occasion the speeches by members of each class present will be a most enjoyable feature. TWO BODIES WASHED ASHORE. Washington Reporter: The Reporter learns that the headless body of a negro has been washed upon a raft in Broad Tlver, near Anthony Shoals. The body was first seen Friday, and no efforts were made to recover it, a* it was in a bad state of decomposition. Nothing has been heard of a crime being committed up the river recently nnd evidently the body was thrown in away up the stream. In con nection with the above, we publish the -following from the lOQberton Trjbune.— However, it couldn't have been the same negro, as the body of the Elbert county find was thrown in the Savannah river, while the other body was found In Broad river: "The body of William Goolsby, the negro rapist, who was drowned in the Sa vannah river at Craft's- old ferry a fetv weeks ago, was washed on a rock sev eral mile* down the stream and a flock of buzzards were seen around it a few days ago. At least it was supposed to be the corpse of the negro." LUCY COBB ALUMX AE TO MEET.

The Macon Telegraph, speaking of the suit to recover land In Colqult coanty, an nouncement of which has been made In the Morning News, gives the following his tory of the claim: According to the alle gations. the. lands were originally grant ed by the state of Georgia to John Foster of Richmond county. In 1847 he convey ed the lands to Eliza Anderson, the wife of Robert Anderson of Hamburg, 8. C., and the deed was regularly recorded. Robert Anderson, and his wife moved to YValker county. Georgia, in 1868. and Mrs. Alexander died Intestate in 1881. Her husband and one child survived -her. This child is the Carolina A. Kilgore who Is one of the present complainants. Under the laws of Georgia at the time of her death Mrs. Anderson's property, which she had Inherited from her father, John Foster, went to her husband. Robert An derson. Hi* daughter. Caroline, grew up and married. It* 1883 he again wedded, his second wife being the Armlnia I. Anderson, who now Joins Mrs. Kilgore in the suit. This wife was before marriage Arinina 1. Catlett. The couple had one child. 8. R. Anderson, who Is the third complainant. Robert Anderson died In Walker county, leaving Armlnia 1. Ander son and her son, besides Mrs. Kilgore, his first wife's child. In dividing the es tate, the widow elected to take a child’s part, she and Mrs. Kilgore and little Robert taking share and share alike. Dur ing these years John Foster's widow, Jane Foster, had acted a* executrix of his will, hut It Is alleged that she fully recognized the lands as having been con veyed by her husband to Eliza Anderson, and she made no claim to them. But In 1890. many years after her husband's death, it is alleged that she was induced by Henry M. Hitt, a real estate dealer of Augusta. Ga., to offer the lands for sale, tm-ause the heirs under the Foster conveyance had not known or asserted their lights. The hearing is set for June 28. FLORIDA. Tampa Tribune: When Jerome B Nor ton. chief engineer of the whaleback steamer City of Everett, lay at the Emergency Hospital last year, critically “Being on Lager” signifies the T\tjsr n * torln % k eer piJglf to properly mature. The enormous storage capacity of Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass n St. Louis, U. S. A. enables them to “lager” their beers five to six months before bottling,thus insuring age, flavor and healthfulness. Brewers of the famous Budweiser, Black & Tan, Faust, Anheuse* Standard, Pale-Lager, Export Pale, Michelob and Exquisite. rjjyv Order* promptly filled by HY. KOLSHORN, Mgr.

Norton got well, and resumed his run on the steam er. liost night, at the residence of J. A. Cranford, Hyde Park, Miss Rasmussen became the wife of Mr. Norton. In the sick room they had fallen in love with fsaoh other, and last night s consumma tion was the natural result. Rev. Henry Hiee performed the ceremony, in the pres ence of a few intimate friends. The happy couple will live in New York. taupa’s taxes too hh;h. Sanchez & Haza, the leading cigar manufacturers of Tampa, have offered for sale all of their large property in that oity, including the large fac tory at Seventh avenue and Fifteenth street. In an interview with the Tampa Times Don 'lguncio Haza states that taxes and other civic burdens, such as street paving, sewerage, water rates, etc., have become so great that the property is no longer profitable. They are consid ering an offer at another point in Flor ida, where a large factory will probably he erected where they will have only In surance and state and county taxes to pay. The Sanchez & Haza was the first large factory to locate in Tampa. MOVING FLORIDA CATTLE. Bartow Courier-Informant: Messrs. Lightsey and Lewis one day last week purchased the stock of cattle consisting of 1,000 head from Hon. R. E. Brown of l>e fk>to county. They intend to move this stock at once, together with 000 they now have on lEstipoga Island, to the Kis simmee river section and bunch with their stock in that section. Mr. Henry Lewis is now in the woods getting them up. This last deal gives Messrs. Lightsey & Lewis the largest herd of cattle on this side of Kissimmee river, and they are preparing to put more cattle on that range as fast as the beef cattle are. taken ofT. They have the contract for moving the Fulton stock of cattle from the river section, which are to be loaded at Ballast Point and Fort Pierce for Mr. H. T. Lykes for the Cuban markets. This contract con sists of moving 4,000 head and will take some time to deliver them all. THE SALOONS OPEN AGAIN. Jacksonville Metropolis (Thursday): The saloons of Jacksonville, after being closed for nearly two weeks, opened at 7 o'clock this morning, and the thigsty were on hand to satisfy themselves. Old topers have had a hard time for several days past. Their countenances indicated a dis appointment that was indeed pitiful. For days- they cast sheep’s eyes at all the sa loons they passed. Sometimes they would venture in, and with a significant wink say to the bartender: “Can't you let a fel low have a drop or two?” Bui they were all turned down. Ginger ale has been the most popular drink. This Is not usually the case In Jacksonville, but since the fire there has been a great demand for It. One mixologist In speaking of this de mand said: "We have never had any special trade In ginger ale before the f%e, and some days 1 never sold a bottle, but stnv.e the fire I have disposed of over 5,000 bottles, and I guess other places did even a better business. We had all kinds of trouble trying to obey the orders of Col. Lovell, and in some cases we made old customers mad. but I believe the best thing that has been done since the fire was the closing of the ealoons. The most pitiful thing I had lo encounter was an old man who offered me $5 ‘for a dram ’ One of the soldier boys was In the place, and, of course, SSOO could not have bought a drink at that time. The man was well dressed and seemed to be in need of a drink, but it was no good. I saw him take a carriage for the Terminal Station, and that night he entered again. His face was changed. He opened his valise, and it contained four quart bottles of rye whisky. He explained that he had made the trip to Waycross to get it.” Lumber Hnatl* May Connect. Gertman, Ga., May 17.—The Rents Lumber Company’s log road running from Swainsboro in the direction of Htggston, is now only mile from a road running from Hlggston toward Swainsboro. There is a rumor that the two roads will con nect. The two roads are on some of the best farming lands In Emanuel and Montgomery counties. —Sir George White of Ladysmith fame, can now write a portentous string of let ters after hl name—V.C., G.C.8., G.C.8.1., U.C.1.E., 0.C.V.0.. and G.C.M G.—twen ty one!
