Tho address was an able one and was listened t
with great Interest.
The drop in Mitchell county are going mad
at a rapid rate. The citizens of that county
held a meeting, and appointed a committee to
go over the county and kill all the dogs that
were running mad, and they had killed sixty at
the last account. Quite a number of stock has
been bitten by the don which had gone mad.
Also two negroes and one white mnn were
bitten, all ot whom have since been confined
and chained down.
In Brooks county, Miss Alice Williams was
married to Mr. John Shiver, and Miss Georgia
Williams to Mr. Luke Cooper, on the night of
tho 4th instant. The young ladies are daugh
ters of Mr. Jerry Williams, a farmer of higl
standing, and are both beautiful girls. Thi
young men are farmers of good standing and
*t»<tdy and industrious habits. The girl’s par*
ents were opposed to their marry'
elopement and double wedding.
Henry Sigg, a well known and successful
ville, was klliec’ *
_ He was found __
tween 4 and 0 p. m. near his honse. His friends
number all the good citizens of this communi
ty. He is one or the Swiss colony who settled
here a few years since, and he has made him
self famous for making good wine. He leaves
a mother, wife and several children, none of
whom can speak a word of English. He
owned a large vineyard, which makes from
GOO to 1,000 gallons of wine each year.
Mr. E. Crockett, of Macon, was atarmed
Thursday by tho report of a boy that
Walter Perkins, a barber, was cutting
his little granddaughter Georgia’s ears. She
bad gone to the shop to get licr hair dressed.
When Mr. Crockett heard the story, he ran
into tho shop, and seeing the little girl crying,
he grabbed a stick, and knocked Perkins down.
It turned out that tho barber bad told the
child be would cut lior ears, if she did not
keep still, but had not hurt her. Both will
appear before tho racorder tomorrow,
money, $75 cheek on Cedartown bank, and
three watches, near Hamlet Saturday evening.
The negroes all lived abont Hamlet. They
decoyed him away from the main road into
the woods through a by way, pretending that
some parties wanted to buy some of his jewel
ry. The negroes purebused now suits of
clothes and skipped by East and West railroad
towards Cartersvlile. A posse of men search
ed tho woods diligently for them, but they
rnado their escape.
G. W. C. Monroo brought a very strango
plant to Buena Vista, which is evidently a
hybrid. It has a pod on it very much like a
tomato, but the weed has very much the ap
pearance of tho Jamestown weed, or the weed
commonly known as the t red salve. An entire
row in the garden contains these weeds, which
woro planted for tomatoes. The seed wero
gathered from tomatoes last year and herein
the mystery. Somo one suggested that it was
an Evo’s apple, but It is more.probable that it
is a hybrid between the tomato and one of
the weeds mentioned.
Dalton Citizen: Did yon know that the hay
crop of tho United. 8tatcs brings more money
amam. p.A. llinn fit* AnUnn Shm9 W*n11 I* la a
In this section hundreds of tons of
good hay could bo saved with little labor, and
it always brings the cash in market. The
faraers of this and all the surrounding counties
can mako money by saving bay. It is a burn
ing shame that wo should allow it to rok and
waste, and then buy on a credit next summer.
Ho hay, no stock; no naturally enriched soil
and poor crops is the consequence.
Monroo Advertiser: About three weeks ago
a dog belonging to Mr. H. J. Carson manl-
tree other dogs, was killed. Last
week another pointer belonging to Mr. Carson
and two dogs belonging to Captain L. A. Pon
der, gave evidence of suffering from the same
disease and were at once killed. These
were supposed to have been bitten by the first
dog mentioned. Whether it be superstitious
idea or not, this Is tho season of the year when
dogs are supposed to be most subject to this
disease, and henco dogs with manifest symp
toms of sickness, should be closely watched or
killed at once, the latter being the surest and
most effect ive remedy.
In Jasper county while Sabe Mattox and
Arch Hughes, both colored, were trying to
swim ovor to a high water island near Flat-
d red yards out into ....
that Arch was growing weak, and swimming
to him lent him a hand, and they turned their
course back for the bank. When they had
swam back thus about twenty-five yards, Arch
thought he could make the rest of the distance
without assistance and so they started. As
8abo was passing him, however, he nude a
nab for Babe’s foot, and this so frightened
Babe that he now doubled his energy for the
shore. There were other negroes on the bank,
but they were all so struck with terror that no
more assistance was offered Arch, and he per
ished.
A man by the name of Overby was arrested
In Borne and lodged in the county jail on the
charge of bigamy. He was arraigned before
Squire George Harris, and waiving prelimi
nary examination, a bond of $200 was fixed,
failing to give which he was placed in jail.
About one year ago, Overby who lives In Floyd
county, near tho Bartow ifne, was converted
to tho Mormon faith by one of the elders who
travel through this country. Shortly after
wards he courted and won a young woman of
the neighborhood, and was married to her by
the Mormon elder. It afterwards leaked out
that he bad had a wife and child in Tennessee,
and soon as proof of this could be lud his arrest
followed. One of the strangest parts of the
whole affair is that the discovery that he had
two wives was made by the Mormon elder, and
it was by hi* Instrumentality that the arrest
was made.
Mr. Leonard Fullbright, of Bnchanan, died
here of hydrophobia. He was bitten on the
street near hla home on the evening of the 2d.
of June,|by what waa supposed to be a rabid
dog. He immediately went to Fairborn and
was treated by Dr. Tidwell by having bb mad
stone applied to one of the wounds made by
the dor,having been bitten on each hand and
the right leg. He remained at Fairborn about a
week, receiving treatment, and was thought to
be effectually cured. He is seid to have
felt no symptoms of the dreadful malady until
last Wednesday evening, when an uneasy and
strange feeling came over him. On Thursday
morning he was thrown into convulsions, and
continued to have one after another until
death relieved bb sufferings at about 7 o’clock
thb morning. Mr. Fullbright was a black
smith and was upwards of 75 years of ago. He
was respected by all who knew him, having
lived at Hart town, in Carroll county, for a
number of years before he moved to this place,
sonic ten years ago. He leaves a wife and
several married children and oue single
daughter.
Advices to tho Banner-'Watchman, from El-
berton, is to the effect that the religious trouble
in that place is not iu tlie slightest way allay
ed and it will tako at least a generation to
wipe it otit. Tho town b badly divided and a
f ;reat deal of hard feoling exists. At cue lime
t was feared there would be a personal con
flict between prominent members of two de
nominations ; but cooler counsel prevailed, and
this subsided. Hot onlv the church members
refused to Mtliliuie. but the bitterness was car
ried into the private family circles. The’
schools have been broken up and Professor
Ayers lias left the place. The Baptists have
opened a school of their denomination,
and the Methodists will do likewise;
but the place cannot support two good schools,
and this division will greatly injure them.
Even the newspapers have been driven into
thb controversy, the Baptists supporting the
Leader and the Methodist party the Gazette.
Mr. Carswell, tho Baptist minister, Is said to
be a very able and forcible man, always readv
for an argument, and not afraid to exerciso his
convictions or show up for them if necessary.
Thb is a very unfortunate state ot affairs and
csimot possibly do either denomination any
good. It bos gone too far, however, for any
reconciliation.
. A report reached Columbus Tuesday that Mr. Bill
Stratford, of Jcmigan, Russell county, Ala., cut his
throat while in church near that place yesterday. A
protracted meeting Is in progress there and tho
preacher was calling up mourners, when Mr. Strat
ford pulled out Ids kntre and cut hls throat Ho
was reported as being in a dying condition this
evening. He Is a well-to-do farmer and religious
excitement is supix s d to have been the cause nf
the rash act The Incident caused a great deal
excitement in the church.
It is now reported that Mr. Bill 8trntford t
who cut his throat while attending service at
a church, near Jornigan, Bussell county, Ala.,
on Monday, is in a fair way to recover. When
asked why he attempted to kill himself, he re-
S liod that there was no remission of sin without
le shedding of blood. A nephew of Mr. Strat
ford was sitting by him when he cut his
throat, and no doubt prevented him from kill
ing himself by catching his arm.
From Sealo, Ala., it Is learned that Mr. BUI
Stratford, the gentleman who attempted to
commit suicide at ML Lcbannon church,
Monday by cutting his throat, will recover.
He was reported as being able to sit up and
smoke a cigar. When asked the cause of his
rash act he said: “Tho Bible says that without
the shedding of blood there is no remission of
sin.” A friend of Mr. Stratford informed the
reporter that hls mind was affected by loni

Reports of two hundred and seventy-one
township correspondents to ths state deport
ment of agriculture, corering every county,
shows on August 1, cotton, which Is two or
throe weeks earlier than hut year, has a full
crop, and if the season continues propitious ths
largest crop ever produced In the slate will he
made. The plant has shed some fruit on ao-
count of trains, drouths and caterpillars,
noted In some localities. The crop was better
than for years up to tho date of the reports.
Tho corn cron is reported generally the best
ever grown. Early upland is matured and se
cure from injnry. Late corn haa had rains
nearly sufficient to bring it to perfection. The
yield will be the largest on record. Reports of
a large rice crop still continue favorable, and
if it has not been Injured by floods since the
date ot reports, will he the hugest for a num
ber of years. The condition of minor crops is
as follows: Sorghum 07 per cent, sugar cane
02, peas08, with a largo increase in acreage:
Irish potatoes 07, with the crop In fine order
end the acreage Increased 2 per cmt.
Eighty-one reports receitred by Augusta
Cotton exchange from seven counties In Caro
lina and twenty In Georgia show thst the crop
is damaged from excessive reins, cansing rust,
shedding, and in some localltles-worms. Low
lands contlgions to rivers end streams over
flows hero done serious damage and further
reins which would cause high water again
would result in the total loss of all crops so sit
uated. The damage already done la estimated
at from ten to fifty per cent.

Among tho southern soldier’s duties, not tho
least Important toward tho close of tho war was
that of bringing In from tho hills and forests
and habitations In the wilderness deserters
from the armies and slippery conscripts who
sought to evade the service. Tho cavalryman’s
soul delighted in this work for awhile. A de
tail for such an expedition meant relaxation
from the discipline of tho camp, exemption
the hardships of tho march and variety In place
of Irksome routine. There was also a spice of
adventure, for desorters would sometlmeFfigh t,
though skulking was their strong point. The
wrltor was one of twenty men, under the com
mand of a lieutenant, sent during the early
C of 1881 into Scott ond Lake counties, in
ilssippi on a man-huntiug errand. Game
was abundant and our officer was provided
with a formidable list of those to bo run down,
we took a guide from a neighboring county,
whoso name was Flgue. He know the country
and he knew the people, and he went dis
guised. His disguise was effectual, but hls
name mnst he changed out of consideration for
tho future. From pig to ihoat was an easy
transition, though something safer might hare
been found. Nevertheless, to ns he was always
Shout. He served us faithfully as he had
served hls state In the fleld before being
wounded and disabled. He was a good guide
and I hope his neighbors may not call him to
account when thoyread this in tho Times. Tho
first house visited wos watched in vain for
aeveral days. Authentic Information said
thore should ho two deserters thereabouts.
Two of our party lay all night nndor tho build-
Ing listening to the conversation of tho In
mates, but not a word was dropped ot sdvan.

house was vl
Tho women would not lie led Into betraying
themsolves or their lords, hut received with
keen suspicion and reserve all our advancea.
Surrounding and searching the honse In tho
small houra after midnight gave onlyour labor
for our pains. Yet the men were known to ho
at least In communication with tholr homo
and our orders to take them wero
imperative. The visible members of tho
household wore a bed-ridden old woman,
two middlo-aged women and a small
army of white-haired scions. A second time
splee were placed under the bouse and about
midnight one of them came to the rendezvous
and reported that he and hls companion had
heard whispering overhead and hollered they
had detected a man’s voice. Atonce tho house
was surrounded and admittance domanded.
The door was opened and the women-sullenly
demanded to know why wo continued to per
secute them. Theyassertod, In the strongest
terms, that tho whereabouts of their husbands
were absolutely unknown to them, and de
clared that they had not seen or heard of them
for months. Disregarding all their protesta
tions wenroceeded to tnrn the cabin topsy
turvy. The scant furniture was morod and
tho loft ransacked In vain. Nothing remained
hut tho hod on whloh tho helpless old woman
lay. Whon called upon to riao that It might
bo overhauled she wept and her daughters re
monstrated violently. They vowed that she
could not cot np and to moro her would kill
hor. Tho lieutenant approached to lift her,
when she sprang at him and attacked him with
tho ferocity of a tigress. Leaving him to de
fend himself egalnst her long talons, we tore
sway the bed clothing and under the boards
was revealed a hox-ltko structure wherein lay
tho objects of our search. Thoy wore wretched,
craven looking creatures and shivered and
whined as wo dragged their limp carcosaea out.
Wo watched anolhor house for days, and
passed a small field where two women culti
vated a crop of corn. The man we wanted was
not to be seen. The women gave no Indication
that they know tho nature of our errand, hut
would talk at any time with apparent frank
ness. The wife of tho deserter said that hor
husband had abandoned her and Hut she ond
hls sister, who lived with hor, had a hard
stmgglo to keep tho wolf from tho door. Wo
were all hut convinced ot this fact, and should
have been wholly so bnt for the direct and
authentic manner In which we had been In
formed to the contrary. Finally wo were com
pelled to abandon this case from sheer lack of
any clew to work upon, as, In spite of constant
and rigid espionage, we made no headway and
saw no suggestive actions on the part of the
two poorwomen. Tho detective Instinct must
have been utterly lacking In every member of
the squad, for we learned some time aRer that
the alleged sister-in-law with whom wo hat
frequently conversed and whom wo had many
times seen at work In tho Hold, was simply tho
deserter himself, clotbod in one of hls wife’s
homespun gowns.
Another case was that of a man who had no
family. Ho was a shaggy, beardod giant
owned two old negroes who guardod him
the secret of hls haunts with a sagacity
fidelity almost superhuman. Hls habit was to
He out in the woods, ssldom approaching tho
house, and hls negro servants contrived to pro
vide for hls dally snstensneo In splto of all our
efforts to prevent It. It would have been easy
lo prevent the negroes from going to him by
placing thorn in duress, or by removing them
altogether from the scene. But this might
have defeated our onds, for we knew not how
dose the lilder might he lying and bad no aa-
suranee that we onnelvcs were not under hls
observation, for the dense woods and thickets
encroached directly upon the unall clearing In
which the honse stood. In default of a bettei
plan we at length took measures to keep tht
old servants nndor close surveillance for twen-
tv-fonr houra uninterruptedly. At break of
day their cabin was entered by two men and
to both. Rnt ono was permitted to pare
door at a time and the dead line, which lay
near at hand, must not be creased. They were
cautioned against any signaling and assured
that such an attempt would be promptly pun
ished. Men were lying In ambush all around
and at dark onr llna was drawn In to closoly
encircle the buildings. Shortly before mid
night a stealthy form crept put me In the
gloom and the game wu In the toils. Swiftly
passing around the cordon I notified the men
that Stowers had entered the honse and we at
once took positions at ovary door and window.

CHICAGO, August 13—There wero Indtcstloni on
ebanga today that the exciting Interest recently
shown In corn might be shortlived, and Hint tho
attention of operators and publlo will center on
wheat. Tho feature of trading was tho fractional
falling off In com and tho upward tendency In
wheat. While the operators hnvo been watching
(he cliplKla :.ir rain, ami ('Imrliig nflrr Jib'll prices ill
com, a very Important shipping movement In wheat
has Icon going on. Every day this week 1ms shown
light receipts at this point. The reports also show a
gradual and decided decrease In receipts of new
wheat at St. Louts and other Initial points, Tho
shipments, both bynllandlake have been sufficient
to make quite a holo In tho amount held In stores
hero by tho tlms of ths next weekty statement.
Wheat, during most of the session, was In a good
teadv demand. Prlcee wero advanced Jio and
(toecd )4o higher than yesterday. The range wu
within le, u followi: September, opened at Ge>4c,
sold np to 70)4o early, eold down to the opening
polntat about 11:30 and at 13:30 reacted to70J4e, after
ward eelllns a little under. Octoheropenedat74J4c,
and after a few uf. and dowe touched 73c. Deooap
her cold hetwoen 74)4976^0. a
Corn wu quite actlr t oerly In the session, bnt later
ruled rather quiet with the feeling outer. Moro
rain wu roporied inllieeom belt, and It was thought
by many local operators tint tho Increase In acre
age over last year more than roakeo up for the do-
enue on the percentage of yield, and tho country
will have about u much cornu usual. The market
opened M»)4oimdcr yesterday’* closing prices and
advance !4*Kc, ruled unsettled, but again became
weaker, Influenced by expected huger receipts, and
closed He lower than yesterday.
For oat* a eomparetlrcly eaey market wu quota
ble. August exhibited a slight Improvement, while
September and October did not change materially
from yeetrrday'a closing, hut ranged a shade lower.
The ipoeulatlre market wu easy. Cash oats were
fairly actlre early at about yeeteiday’s priors, but
after tho demand subsided the market became quiet
The provision market wu dnll, rad, u one opro-
ator put It there wu more talking than huslnera
Offerings were light, and trading entirely by local
scalpers. Price wore confined lo a narrow range,
and no changes oocumd except In January pork,
which broke 16c.
