ATLANTA, ISA., MAY 4, 1880.
BOUNDABOUTDJ GEORGIA.
—The prosftectaof the oat wop in Miller
oonnty are dismal.
—Mias Annie P. Rowland, an accom
plished young lady of Madison, died re-
center in Baltimore.
—Mrs. Thomas Thornton, an aged lady of
Luiupkln. died last Thursday. She had
been a member of the Methodist church for
sixty-fire years.
—The Oglethorpe Echo.rays that Mr.
John W. Bacon, of Lexington, has a mule
21 yean old, whose wisdom has certainly in
creased with age. Last Frida/ she went to
a blacksmith shop, and poking her bead in
the door, refused to go away nntil a work-
man came out and Axed an awkward-fitting
ahoe. When the blacksmith approached,
the animal held up to him the bad shoe,
and so soon as be bad reset it, left perfectly
satisfied. This mule always goes to the
ahopof her own accord when anything is
wrong with her shoes. The workmen
know old Judy’s ways, and never fail to at
tend to her want*.
—Oglethorpe Echo: In 1810 Oglethorpe
reached its highest maximum of popula
tion. the census showing it to hare been up
wards of 14,000. Since then there has been
a gradual decline every decade, until in
1870 it was not quite 12,000. Wilkes reach
ed its height in 1820. and has declined with
Oglethorpe. The population of these two
eountien nave nearly tallied. The decline
is attributed to the steady exodus of our
people westward. It is thought that both
counties have gained some since the last
census.
—Ferry H< w
Mr. Ed Kagin brought to town two large
king snakes, which he bad caught several
weeks before. He had them in a small
wooden box, with a glass trip. In the after
noon ha turned them loose on the streets,
aid one party, who bad already taken a
sufficient quantity of snake antidote,
gave an exhibition of bis carelessness of
reptiles generally, and the docility of these
snakes particularly. He banditti these
snakes at bis will, and finally took each of
them in turn by the tail and popped their
heads off. They were genuine snakes, and
the parties who were somewhat frightened
at the night of the creepers, need have no
fear of delirium tremens just yet.
—Chattanooga Times: It will be remem
bered that in the Times of the 15th ins*,
we made mention of a couple of the Cincin
nati excursionists who were to take horses
her*and ride to Atlanta. The coup.e were
Mr. Andrew Van Bibber (known in every
printing office in the United States as the
rolls* composition man) and his wife. They
left Chattanooga at noon the 15th and by
riding from three to six hours a day reached
Atlanta in aevan days. They returned to
Chattanooga from Atlanta Wednesday
night, by the Western and Atlantic train.
The trip they say was a very pleasant one
and much enjoyed. Mrs. Van Bibber, a
highly intelligent and charming lady, says
the trip was notat all fatiguing, and the re
ception they met from the people along the
way partook somewhat of an ovation. Mr.
Van Bibber is quite an artist, be having
during the war taken a rumberof sketches
for Harper’s of the oountiy when Sherman’s
army went through. Air. and Mrs. Van
Bibber are very favorably impressed with
Chattanooga and may soon again visit
—Ferry Home Journal: A friend of ours,
who lives several miles from town, possesses
n dog that is remarkable for bis sagacity.
The dog’s mother was a Newfoundland
shepherd and his father a fulUblood hound.
This dog can be aent into a drove of fifty
hogs, while feeding, and he will bring out
every one that does not belong to his mas
ter. tie will drive hogs from a field without
assistance, after he has been told what to do.
He can hr safely left to guard any piece of
property left in the yard at night. He is
an excellent watchdog, faithfully guarding
the premises. The children of nis master
are safe under bis protection, as he will not
allow anyone to touch one of them unless
his master is near. These are only a few of
the many evidences of his remarkable in
telligence, but we deem this sufficient to
illustrate the extent to which a dog can be
educated to do hia master’s bidding. There
may lie some skeptic who will regard this
as a rather ’’fishy” story .*bnt it can be sub
stantiated by a ride of several miles into
the country.
—Irwin ton Southerner and Appeal: On
yeffteidffy Mr. W. B. Etheridge, of this
county, gave us a veritable curb
shape of a dark, perfectly hard substance,
the constituent* of which are coarse hair,
•and and decayed grass. It is a little larger
than a hen’s egg, oval In form, and very
similar to an egg. except that it is flatter.
It was taken from a hen’s craw after it had
caused her death, and Mr. Etheridge fli
forma us that it was about two years in
forming, and that during this
time its growth was plainly percept
ible. The hen was (terfectly
healthy, apparently, ail the time, laid as
regularly as any other hen, and at her
death was perfectly fat. We know of no
way to account for the formation of the
substance, except upon the theory that the
hen was addicted to the habit of eating
hair, and being unable to digest it, it re
mained in tbe craw, forming a nucleus to
which hair, dirt and grass were constantly
added and tbe bail formed. This curiosity
can be seen at oar office.
—Augusta News: One of the most re
markable instances on record of the tenac
ity which marks life and its struggle against
dissolution comes to light in the death of
Wm. Cox, occasioned by a fall, lost Satur
day afternoon, from the steps of the print
ing house of Paul & Hall. Aledical treat
ment discovered the fact, on internal exam
ination, that his bowels were completely
paralysed, and his case ha* been watched
with keenest professional interest and over
whelming amazement. It seems that Cox,
who is a well known printer, has been for
two months a veritable living skeleton,
brought to the verge of death and starvation
by lus inability to eat, occasioned by an
inflammation and perfect stoppage of his
internal organs in performing tbeir func
tions. Instead of dying, as was naturally
expected by everybody, the man actually
lived and, to the surprise of none more
than the doctors, recovered the use of his
organs and was in a fair way to regain
health. Alas for humanity, however! Poor
(’ox, getting able to walk about, came up
town on Saturday, and hobbling up tbe
printing-office steps and joined the boys and
talked over the cases. Starting
home and down the steps, his
strength failed, and toppling, dizzy and
without a particle of strength in his ema
ciated person, fell headlong down the stairs.
His head struck the granite step at the bot
tom. a blood vessel in his head was broken
and he was borne home almost lifeiese, but
still pluck. On Sunday, however, fhe man
who bad lived through a score of deaths
died, and after astonishing learned physi
cians by recovery from a disease never be
fore cured, died from the fall, brought on
by overtaxing a frame from which strength
bad departed.

Albant. April 24.—P. A. Voson and _ .
Tilt returned yesterday from Brunswick
from a conference with the city and railroad
authorities in that place in reference to
reduction of the tariff of rates allowed
the Brunswick and Albany railroad ao
as it affected Albany. Their report to the
board of trade last night shewed that they
had accomplished their object ao far as the
Brunswick and Albany railroad authorities
were concerned. Tbeir next move will be
to get a revision by the state commissioners
in Atlanta. The commission allows the
Brunswick and Albany road to charge an
advance of SO per cent, on the established
rates,; which makes freights dearer by (hat
route from Albany than on either of the
other two roads lo Savannah. The impres
sion is gaining ground that the railroad
commission is a meddlesome failure.
Washington, April 26 —Continual heavy
rains have retarded farm operations con
siderably. There are fine stands of cotton

done before the rams. Mr. E. T. Shu

storm (Hissed over this place yesterday at
10 o’clock, doing much damage to grain
crops and garden* Hail fuily as larae as a
guinea egg fell here. Hon. H. C. Rooty,
who was returning from Appling in hia
boggy, was caught in the storm. His horse
ran awar. breaking up tbe buggy. Mr.
Roney jumped out and was onlyinjored
slightly from hail stones failing on
him. In consequence of the heave
rain, the memonaT association had
a small attendance. Rev. J. A. Reynolds

propriate address st the Methodist church

manded by Captain 8. Wilson, organized
by Major E. R. Thornton, who takes consid
erable interest in tbeir exercises, etc. They

some future day visiting the Gate City
Guard of your place. I may remark that
Messrs. Jack A Holland presented them a
beautiful flag, of which they are very
proud.
GAtmrttvc, April 29.—The annual
vention of the Hall county Sunday-school
association will meet at this place on next
Saturday. Governor Colquitt ha- promised

leading merchants, is lying very low at his
home with something like heart disease.
Our people are blowing hot over an
other railroad to Jefferson, and one to Mon
roe vim Jug Tavern. The road to Jefferson
will doubtless be built and equipped with
tbe rolling stock of the Gainesville and
Dab Ion eg* railroad, as it will be a' nar
row gauge. The road to Monroe will tap
the Georgia railroad at Social Circle.
Mr. J. T. Telford, one of our foremost busi
nets men and an exoelleot gentleman, left
yesterday for Savannah, where he will be
married at 6 o’clock this afternoon to Miss
Laura Thomas, of that place. They will re
turn to Gainesville on Friday. Mis.-* Thomas
is one of the leaders in Savaunah society
and Mr. Telford has no superiors socially.
Ccthbext, April 26.—This day so bonor-
1 and set apart for the commemoration
of ihe confederate dead, was unusually ob
served today in this and surrounding
places. An eloquent address was delivered

Macon, April 26.—Memorial day was ob
served here to-day with great solemnity.
All business was suspended during the af
ternoon, and about two o’clock tbe whole
population of the city and country repaired
to Rose Hill cemetery, where the graves of
our dead were literally covered with spring
forest flowers. The Second Georgia battal
ion was out in full force, and added much
to the occasion by tbeir splendid appear
ance. The military honors were done in
three volleys by the entire battalion.
The address was delivered by Rev. Otis A.
Glazebrook, of Christ church, and was, as
is everything from him, chaste and fervent.

origin in some difference as to a sma'l

this party that when he had killed a few

courier was dispatched to town
to raise the Macedonian cry for help Quite
a crowd went in pursuit and were out till

came in and said that Scroggins bad taken
dinner at his house five milea
from town, keeping his gun across
lap during dinner. Upon
ipt of this information, the sheriff, city
anal and others started in search for
Scoggins. This evening about sundown
they caiue upon him in a lane about eight
miles from town. John Spair, our city
marshal and one of the best officers in
the south, rode up within one hun
dred yards of where Scoggins was
seated and asked him if he would surrender.
Scoggins replied by getting in the fence cor
ner and deliberately firing at Spair. The
party then commenced a general firing at
the unfortunate man. After disc*
one barrel of his gun he coolly lo

shot four times, he was shot-down, and died
very quickly. Those attempting the arrest
fired about twenty shot* Fortunately not

Chastain. Scogji.i’a b xly was brought to

Griffin, April 28 —The celebrated case
of William V. McElhaney was concluded
before his honor Judge John J. Kemp. The
facts in tbe case are about as follows: Some
two or three weeks ago McElhaney took a
horse belonging to Captain John M. Kell,
and rode him off into the country. It was
shown that he tried to sell the horse before
his capture, some hours after. He was
jjiled under a warrant lor horse stealing.
After his preliminary examination he was
remanded to jail in default of $200 bond
His parents entered a plea of lunacy before
the ordinary, claiming that he
had been a kleptomaniac from
childhood—caused, they held, from severe
illness when an infant. Yesterday, before
a jury, the case was argued very ably by
McElhancy’s counsel, but the plea was not
sustained, and he was again taken back to
jail to await biatrial before the next session
of Spalding superior court. What makes
the case a notable one is the fact, as Judge
Hunt informed me, that it is the only one
ever tried in this county, and, perhaps, in
the state, for kleptomania. Young Mc-
Klhaney is not yet twenty-one years
of age, and has always borne
the reputation of being a petty thief. His
crimes have never amounted to anything,
however, until a few months ago when he
stole another horse. Both times he was
under influence of liquor, and it is but
justice to the poor fellow to say that he
might have been temporarily deranged in
both instance* He certainly was a most
pitiable object during his trial yesterday.

Americus, April 27 —Many of our citi
zens were considerably interested in the
rial of Oscar Flanagan, »for the murder of
Boh Tallis, which occurred in Buena
Vista last week. Tullis was stabbed
to death on the night of the 5th of
February, 1878, at a party in Marion county
while engaged in a difficulty with Flana
gan. The parties were both right young
men. Tullis was a citizen of Webster
county and Flanagan residing in Stewart
county; but, unfortunately for Marion
county, the fight occurred just within h**r
limits, and she has had to foot a tremen-
mendous bill of court expenses in conse
quence. Tbe fight took place out of doors
in the dark. Tullis was cut all to pieces,
receiving no less than fifteen wounds, in
flicted with a pocket-knife Immediately
after the sanguinary conflict terminated,
and while all was confusion, Flanagan (led
in the darkness, and for a long time his
whereabouts was unknown to the officers of
tli 3 law. A considerable reward was of
fered for his arrest and he was eventually
apprehended in Chattahoochee county,
about three months after the crime was
committed. The jail in Buena Vista being
insecure he was brought to Americus
and incarcerated. He soon won

One of my beat friends is Judge *
The judge attracted my attention, several
years ago, at a political meeting, and I have
kept an eye on him ever since. Among a
babbling crowd of village statesmen, whose
misinformation and noisy declamation were
their strongest points, this man seemed, as
it were, to stand alone. He rarely spoke,
but when he arose to address tbe meeting
he commanded the attention of every one
in the audience. There was nothing of the
orator about him. He appeared to scorn
the graces of gesture, the flowers of speech
and the ordii ary tricks of elocution. But
in their stead the speaker gave hb hearers
10 a* facts and figures, with such
i -racy aud accuracy, and express
11 early, forcibly and pointedly, that he wou
bis way, quietly carrying everything before
him.
exhibition of mental and moral
supremacy was well calculated to impress
the thoughtful observer, and it certainly
impressed uie. Olher occasions afterward*
occurred with similar incident* Judge
never forced hituself into prominence, but
one way or another things worked around
as to bring him out in a leading role. I
is not long in discovering that the judge
was an original character, a man of strong
and positive convictions, vast general in
formation. and gifted with a potential per
sonality that aided him not a little when
» bad a point to make.
A short time ago the judge and I were
discussing educational matters, when to my
surprise be suddenly volunteered tbe state
ment that he had enj >yed only four or five
months’ schooling during his whole life,
"'it, judge," said I, “where did you pi«

must certainly have been an omnivorous
reader. You are a walking encyclopedia
of facts, and your pithy, logical aud lord-
ble style of spesking and writing indicates

The judge smiled pleasantly, and with
evident sathfaction.

Thomastille. April 26.—'The dark pall
of death now hangs about both the actors
in the terrible tragedy, some of the partic
ulars of which I wrote you ou Saturday.
Rainey Chastain died this morning at six
o'clock and will be buried to-morrow. B*r-
ry Scroggins, hb slayer, as vour readers al
ready know, was killed by Sheriff Coyle
and hb posse Saturday in their attempt to
capture him, was buried this m >rn-
iog. A jury of inquest was
impanneiled this morning by Coroner S A.
Johnson. The jury was composed of our
best citizens. After examining a number
of witnesses, they retired and returned tbe
following verdict: “We, the jurv. find
that the deceased. Berry Scroggins. came to
hb death by gun shot wounds inflicted bv
the sheriff of said county and hb posse*
while lewfnlly attempting tbe arrest of said
Scroggins for the offense of assault with
intent to murder, and while said deceased
was resisting said arrest. We further find
that said killing was justifiable and necessa
ry. not only foe the purpose of executing
said warrant, but for the preservation of the
lives of said sheriff and posse.’’ This b
the last chapter in a most horrible tragedy,
the history of which reads like
some wild romance. It is a singular fact
that nothing save tbe two unfortunate men
and tbeir own property washarmed. Rti-
ney Chastain lost two mules, the one he
was riding when shot, the other, the one
ridden by a relative at the time Scroggins
waa killed. It is supposed Scroggins killed
both. By tbe verdict rendered at the in
S aest It will be seen that no blame
attached to the sheriff and
hb pass* Scroggins answered their
request to surrender by shooting at Mar
shal Spair. After loading hb gun. only
one barrel haring been emptied, be walked
out into the open road and charged upon
tbe sheriffs party, and when killed he was
the handsome young fellow, who. al
though charged with a capital offense, yet
rigorously adhered to hb word of honor
and refused to betray the confidence of hb
jailer by taking advantage of his freedom.
No matter where he went during the day
he always returned to bis dismal quarters
at night and locked himself in his cell
Complaint was made to authorities in Ma
non about these privileges accorded to
Flanagan by our lenient jailer, ai.d they
immediately had him transferred to the
jail in Buena Vista, their new jail being
nearly completed, where his imprisonment
was a constant, unremitting and dread real
ity. About a year ago he was tried in Ma
rion court, and after a trial which lasted
three days was found guilty of voluntary
manslaughter and sentenced to ten yeara’
hard labor in the penitentiary. His coun
sel took his case to the supreme court,
where he was granted a new trial, and last
week, just one year from the date of his
sentence and about two yeare from his first
imprisonment, he once more stood before
the assembled citizens of Marion county
to answer to the charge of murder.
Forties who were present state that every
juror in Marion county had been sum
moned and the court-house was packed to
it* utmost capacity with the deeply inter
ested multitude when the case was sound
ed. The interest in the trial was intense,
profound and unflagging. Public sympa
thy was running strongly in favor of the
prisoner, many believing that if be were
really guilty there were extenuating cir
cumstances in hb favor and that be had
already suffered enough. Others contended
that it was not clear that Flanagan
indicted the mortal wounds and
that the fight was forced upon him
A small minority believed him guiltyjand
instated that the majesty of the law should
be again fearlessly and fnlly vindicated.
Flanagan appeared pale, somewhat emacia
ted, but resolute. The trial lasted two
days. Both sides were represented by able
counsel, and tbe legal battle was in every
respect worthy of the exciting occasion,
and tbe tremendous interests involved.
The jury retired at half past ten o’clock mt
night, and after an absence of half an hour
returned with a verdict of not guilty. The
announcement of the verdict was received
with a burst of applause by the throng in
the court-room, which was promptly check
ed by the court. After the adjournment of
the court the defendant was warmly con
gratulated by his friend* and for a time,
with a great many he seemed to be the
hero of the hour. Thus ended the most
exciting trial that has occurred in Buena
Vista for year*

The fact is, I came out of the war in the

property swept away, and with a worse than
neglected education. I looked around, and
soon made up my mind. I engaged in mer
chandizing, in a small way, and I resolved
to devote every moment of ray leisure time
to the work of educating myself. I had no
amb'tion to become what is called a learned

man of to-day, thoroughly equipped fora

to cope with men who had enjoyed greater
advantages. In the matter of self-educa

*‘Tiie Constitution, then, has been your
school," I remarked.
"Yes," replied the judge, “that paper has
made me all that I am, so far as education
is concerned. You have often heard the say
ing, ‘beware of the man with one book’—
well, the man with one paper, when he
knows how to use it, is bound to receive

perhaps it would amuse the scatter-brained
ruen and women who never read a paper, but
only glance at it; and, better still, it might

I walked away ponderiugover what I had

history I was satisfied that he liad not over
rated the influence of his paper. 1 thought
of his start, after the war, in a little coun
try store. I recollected his success in busi
ne*s, step by step, until lie had accumula
ted more than a competency. I thought o',
his honored position in his community.
He had been judge of the
county courr, a member of the
constitutional convention, besides holding
other position* of honor and trust. And ail
this was due to the judicious reading of oue
paper! Without that paper this man
would have remained an ignorant country
store-keeper, thinking and caring for noth
ing but trading, eating and sleeping. There
would have been no judgeship for him
There would have been no opportunity foi
him to leave the impress of a vigorous mind
upon the legislation of his state. He would
simply have lived and died, and that would
have been all. Would that every young
man in the land could have heard this
story of the judge from his own lips
