Auast, February 21.—[Special.]—From
statements made by all the planters the writer
has conversed with recently, the oat crop thus
far is the best this section has had for years.
In this county a larger area is planted than
ever before, and the same is true. I learn, of
Worth and Irwin, which are par excellence,
the best oat producing counties in southwest
Georgia. Fears arc entertained, however, that
the unusually mild winter we have had may
bring on the rust prematurely. In Burke the
Htand is also excellent, but the lion. Reuben
Jones, one of the best and most experienced
farmers in the county, or anywhere else,
thinks the Crop is in a critical condition,
owing to the unseasonable weather.
One of the most elegant and
recherche society events of the
Albany season, was the entertainment given
last evening at the palatial residence of the
Hon. L. E. Welch, late senior of the
firm of Welch & Bacon, of this eity, in honor
of Miss Carl Dudley of New Haven, Conn.,
now on a visit to his family. The spacious
grounds surrounding the hospitable mansion
were brilliantly illuminated, and all the
elite and beauty of Albany graced the scene
with their presence. The festivities were pro
longed to a late hour, while music and the
flying feet of terplichores votaries chased
away every thought, save those of pleasure.
Some slight changes in the schedule of the
Southwestern railroad were made on Sunday
last The train from Macon bring
ing Tine Constitution of same day,
new reaches Albany at 1.08 p.m
and leaves Albany for Macon at 1:46 p.m.—
no total cotton receipts^at Albany since
September 1,1881, amounts to 22,507 bales.
Amount on hand 2,63-1 bales. Quite
party of Albany people went down on the
Brunswick and Albany railroad to Bruns
wick to-day on a pleasure excursion.
Rome, February 20.—[8pccial.]—The Isra
elites of this city will give a grand masque
jfido ball in a few weeks for the benefit of the
Jewish exiles from Russia. It promises to be
a brilliant affair. A cotton seed oil mill
company lias been organized and will com
mence operations at an early day. The offi
cers are: GcorgeO. Baker, president; William
M.Towers, vice-president and superintendent;
A. R. Sullivan, secretary and treasury. The
necessary buildings will be erected at an
early day. A large party of Romans left
yesterday for New Orleans to enjoy
he Mardi Gras festivities. John M.
Wingfield was married to-day to Miss Sallie
Elliott The ceremony was performed by
Rev. S. E. Axson. The happy couple have
the beet wishes of hosts of friends for tlicir
future welfare. A young men’s society has
been formed in this city for the purpose of
assisting young men needing hJp, and watch
ing Over their temporal and spiritual welfare.
The library fair closed Friday evening
amid a scries of brilliant festivities. Among
'the most- enjoyable of these was the concert
which took place in the library hall. The fair
was a success in every particular and netted
the association a handsome sum, besides giv
ing an opportunity for social reunion among
our people which will not 60011 be forgotten.
The ladies of Rome deserve special thanks for
their earnest and zealous work in bolialf of
the fair.
Hawkinsville. February 18.—[Special.]—
A number of our business men and citizens
met at the court house in this place on Tliurs
day last to discuss tho proposed extension of
the Florida Southern railway through our
section. Remarks were made by several who
liave studied thoroughly the advantages of
tho extension, showing that besides the ad
vantages to our city, it would be expediont
and profitable to the incorporators to run the
railroad through Ilawkinsville, being in a di
rect line from Tun pa Bay to Macon, the re
spective southern ard northern termini, and
thereby penetrating the great timber, as well
as cotton region through which it is proposed
to extend the road. A committee was
appointed to correspond with the
managers, and set forth these advantages, and
tocall another meeting when they see proper.

iaski county was held here yesterday to take

The Story «f MU Elopement.
BitwEFORn, Me., February 20.—A. M. So-
teldo, the journalist who was the victim of
a tragedy at Washington last week, was
known to a number of people in this city and
Saco. He was here last summer, and was an
assiduous suitor for the hand of a Miss Cleni
ent, whom he came to visit. Miss Clement
is the daughter of the Hon. William
Clement, ot Cincinnati, one of the railroad
kings of the west, and general manager of
the Cin innati Southern railway,
and for many years has beeu
in the habit of spending t.he sum
mer here with his family, ttoppifig at tlie
Yates house at the Pool. Miss Clement was
a beautiful and attractive young Jady, and
lias been one of the society belles of Cincin
nati. Soteldo’s attentions to the young lady
were not pleasing to the father, who used
every possible means to break off the match,
but jtliss Clement reciprocated Soteldo’s love,
and parental influence and entreaty were of
no avail to joove her to give him up. Sotel
do disappeared for a time, but kept up i
s'ecret correspondence with Miss Clement
while she remained hero. One day last August
he appeared on tlie ground again, with ar
rangements perfected to secure his promised
bride. An elopement was planned and
carried out. By prearrangement Miss Clem
ent went to Saco and met her lover at :he Saco
house on the llth of August. The services of
tbe Rev. Dr. Nichols, of the Unitarian church,
had been secured, and the two were quickly
made man and wife. The young lady returned
to her family, and it was some time before her
parents learned of the marriage. When they
were finally apprised of it, they were filled
with mortification and indignation, feeling
that their daughter had made a misalliance.
Tlie marriage shortly after became generally
known, and created quite a sensation in society
circles at Washington and Cincinnati

Atlanta, Ga, February 14.—[Special Cor
respondence of the Chicago Tribune.]—A de
sire to hear Dr. W. II. Felton make the first
speech of the campaign, and a feeling of in
terest in the movement to liberalize Georgia,
caused me to join the doctor and his wife, a
few days since, when they passed through At
lanta on their way to Augusta.
Very soon after boarding tbe train. I dis
covered from the character of the live freight
that there were a number of prominent poli
ticians on board, who were also on their way
Augusta for the purpose of taking part in
the political feast that was to be enjoyed
there. On the one side I noticed
organized democrat sitting quietly
liis seat, and casting his eyes occasionally
upon the doctor or liis accomplished wife,
who to-day has probably more political infor
mation stored away in her head than any
other member of her sex in the south. Upon
being introduced to the passengers of distinc
tion who were on the cars, Mrs. Fjl on would
greet them cordially, und make some bright
remark that at once chained to her the atten
tion of her new acquaintances. Mrs. F. was
discovered to be a handsome lady of probably
35 years of age. With a bright and intellect
ual face, and a pair of flashing eyes, she at
tracted much regard, and soon became quite
favorite with the passengers.
The day was anything but a pleasant one
for traveling, especially for ladies, as the en
tire section through wiiich we traveled be
tween Atlanta and Angusta showed evidence
of having recently been visited by intensely
cold and disagreeable weather. The trees and
shrubs along the line were covered with ici
cles, and thousands of them were bowed to
the earth by their frozen loads; while here
and there could be seen hundreds broken
down and destroyed by tons of icy freight of
the storm that had passed over the section
during the twenty-four hours previous. For
miles not a single telegraph pole could be
seen standing—the wires with their frozen
coating having been too heavy for the strength
of the poles. The destruction of the forests
and telegraph property was great—so great
that it will take years for the forests to regain
their nsual appearance, and several days for
tlie wires to be put up again and arranged
or use.
I asked Mrs. F. if she was sorry that she
had come out in such dreadful weather.
‘Why, no,” she answered promptly—her
voice coming from under a woolen wrapper
that encircled lier head and shoulders. “I
have been taking care of tlie doctor for a good
many years, and never expect to remain at
home when he goes away, especially when on
mission of this kind. I rather like the ex
citement-. During all of liis canvasses in the
eventh district I went with him. We rode
from one place of appointment to another;
fa'quently, when I bad an opportunity
■yfc-ltlie house of a frien .l and reniain-
Hm until after the discussion,
li^^ipy 'fit the*’ buggy arid hold
the hor*e while the debate was go
ing on. I have seen some real jolly sights at
these meetings. In tlie mountain counties,
of which, you know, our district is largely
composed, we have met some queer people
ami seen many sights of interest to ns both.
When we were married we were both very
Kior. The doctor ran a small farm, and I
lelped him to support us by hauling wood to
Cartersville. I used to get up on the wagon
and drive into town, where IJsold the wood;
and with the proceeds, together with what
the doctor made on the farm,we were enabled
to live and keep out of debt. We have al
ways been able to do this. When In Wash
ington we lived within our means, and came
home after congress had adjourned with a
little money saved up. I have heard some
complaint- made that members of congress
could not live in Washington on their salary
—notably in the case of a Georgia senator,
who gave as an excuse for resigning some time
ago that he could not make $5,000 a year and
mileage pay expenses. The doctor and my-
Felton’s most intimate political adviser; and,
soon after the usual salutations -were ex
changed, the doctor’s charming associate*was
telling her new acquaintance of political
measures that she had heard discussed while
in Washington, and the members who took
part in the discussions. Her conversation
showed that she was well informed upon all
of the leading political events of the present
day, and fully able to discuss t hem in a forci
ble manner.
Itonte. Unlit of Cotton.
Colonies and India.
Of all substances apparently tbe least likely to be
used in the construction of a fireproof building,
cotton wott’d, perhaps, take tbe first rank and pa
per the second; and yet both these materials are
actually being employed for the purpose indicated,
and their uso will probably extend. Compressed
paper pulp is successfully used in the manufacture
of doors, wall paneling* and for other similar pur
poses, with the result, that all risk of warping «nd
cracking is obviated, while increased light
ness is attained and the fear of dry.-rot
is forever banished. Papier-mache, after
having served a useful purpose ir. an unob-
struetive manner for years as a material for small
travs, paper knives and other such light artieles.has
now suddenly assumed a still more important posi
tion in the industrial world. A still more sudden
and striking ndvanco ha* been made In the em
ploymeut of cotton as a building material. A prepa
ration called celluloid, in which cotton is a leading
ingredient, has been used lately ns a substitute 'or
ivory in the manufacture of such articles as bil
liard hails and paper cutters, and now a Canadian
manufacturer nas invented a process by which
compressed cotton may be used, not merely for
doors and window frame*, but for the whole facade
of large buildings. The ca -rmotts aud in
creasing demand for paper for its normal uses a* a
printing and writing material prevents tho ex
tended use of papier-mache as a building material,
for which it is so well suited in so many ways: but
the pr duction of cotton is practically unit lied,
and there seems to be a large field available for its
use in its new capacity as a substitute for brick —
or at least plarier—and wood. Treated with certain

The Clock Suld III* Time hud Come.
Portland (Me.) Press.
About midnight tho other evening the door-bell
of one of onr physicians rang violently, and the
doctor, putting his mouth to the speaking-tube,
asked what was wanted. “I must see yon right
away," replied a voice. “But 1 am sick and not
able to attend to bnsluMs,” said tho doctor. “No
matter,” said tlie voice, ‘1 must see yon any way.
The physician arose—it was bitter cold and ho was
quite ill—donned his clothes, and proceeding to
the front door, let in, along with a strong blast of
aero air, a man and a woman. Neither looked very
much out of health, but the man’* eye rolled rather
wildly and he appeared somewhat disturbed
“Well.” said the phystclan/’whatisthe trouble?’ 1
“The trotibie!" replied the man. “Trouble
enough! Yon see, doctor, we own an old-fashion
cd clock that has stood on our muntle-picco for
years. It has not been touched in nil that time.
Its works are dusty and its case defaced by time.
Would you believe it. doctor, to night after we re
tired—that Is, my wife and I—all at once that old
clock started up and struck the hour of twelve. Of
course, doctor, that meant my time had come, or a
warning that I must soon die. What shnll 1 do.
doctor?” and tho man moaned and rocked to and
fro while the wife wept, to see her hnsbaud so affect
ed. The physician said he didn't see how any pro
seription he could give would put off the fatal
hour, but 'he man insisted, and finally,tne doctor
gave him a proscription for prontide of potassium,
with which man and wife departed somewhat con
soled.
Ilow Pupa’s Hutment Was Giron.
Chambers s Journal.
The difficulty of proposing to the young lady is
not always tho most serious one tlie suitor has to
encounter. Popping tho question to one’s pros
pective mother-in-law, or “asking papa," is fre
quently the more atdnous undertaking of the two.
When Professor Aytoun was wooing Miss Wilson,
daughter of Professor Wilson, the famous “Christo
pher North,” ho obtained the lady's consent condi
tionally on that of her father’s being secured. This
Aytoun was much too shy to ask, and he prevailed
noon the yumtglady herself to conduct tne neces
sary negotiations. “We must deal tenderly with
his feelings,” said glorious old Christopher “i’ll
write my reply on a slip of paper, and pin it to tlie
hack of your frock.” "Papa’s answer is o.» the
back of my tires*,” said Miss Jane, an she entered
the drawing-room. i timing her round, tlie de
lighted professor road these words: “With the
author's compliments.”,

Mrs. Felton,” I asked, “who do yon think
that the organized demucracy will nominate
for governor?”
“Judge Crawford,” came a prompt answer.
“The slate at present reads, that Judge Martin
J. Crawford, of tlie supreme bench, will be
nominated for governor; that Jim Brown,
judge of the Cherokee circuit, brother of Sen
ator Brown, will be placed on the bench in
Crawford’s place, and that Judge George N.
Lester, of Cobb county, whom my husband
beat for congress nearly four years age. will
lake Brown’* place on the circuit bench. I
got tills information from one of the enemy’s
camp, and I believe that it comes straight.”
. “What do you think of the controversy be
tween your husband aud Mr. Hill? Will the
doctor refer to Mr. Hill in iiis speech?”
“O. no! I think it would be *-ery wrong for
Dr. Felton to reopen that matter. Tlie con
troversy is, in my opinion, at an end. unless
Mr. Hili reopens it on the stamp If he does
then the doctor will take care of himself. I
m very sorry that the controversy occurred.
Mr. Hill and my husband have until recently
t e.-n tlie very best of friends, and 1 was sur
prised to 6ee Mr. Hill come out and charge
ray husband with ‘disltonesjy.’ No man bet
ter knows than Mr. Hill tliat my husband is
perfectly honest, and can place his record
alongside of any other man’s in public life,
and not be ashamed of it. I think that Mr.
Hill made a great mistake, and can’t believe
that lie was at all himself when he made this
charge. He was certainly troubled about
something, or he would never have said
this without having the proof; and _
believe that, if he had thought a moment, he
never would have said it. T regret this con
troversy for two reasons: One of them is that
hereafter Mr. Hill and my husband can never
be as warm friends as they have been. They
were college-mates, and from their boyhood
days until recently have been great admirers
of'each omer. Besides this, I have known
Mrs. Hill from her girlhood; we were at
school together; and since then our intimacy
and desire to be in each other’s company have
been on tbe increase. Two winters while in
Washington Mrs. Hill was in my room or I
was in her room daily, and each of ns sought
the other’s company. I liked her very much.
Site is a woman of the finest and most lovable
character; and I shall always cherish the mem
oriesof the many enjoyable days that we spent
together. One summer we spent together at
the Rockbridge Alum springs, and we were
constantly together. When 1 came away I
missed her society very much, and she wrote
me frequently after our separation of how-
much site missed mo; and 1 believed that she
did. as she showed me ttial she enjoyed my
company when we were together, and I know
that 1 did hers. For these reasons 1 most sin
cerely regret the controversy between my hus
band and Mr. Hill. But von know it riled me
when Mr. Hill came out and accused my hus
band of dishonesty
At this juncture Mrs. Felton tnmerl in her
-eat to be introduced by her husband to sev
eral politicians who were anxious to meet Dr.
