10 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1881.—TWELVE PAGES. NOTES ON CURRENT TOPICS The Grants, father and son#, have enjoyed n shower of golden opportunities during the past twenty years. Honors and gifts were heaped upon the sueeessful soldier. Million aires at home and abroad lavished upon him royal presents of money, houses, lands, horses, buy pups, paintings and hrie-a-brae. The recipient of these attentions stolidly pocketed everything and made no return.

At present only two boot sugar factories are in operation iu North America. One of these is at West Farn- ham, in t'anada, and the other is located near orriip-1 San Francisco. The production of sugar from NEWS OF GEORGIA. foluinbiw Is experiencing a temjienmcc revival. On Saturday last, while some colored people were pienieingon the river In Pulaski comity, a cloud was seen approaching and a negn who had placed her mule under a glnhousc near by, decided to go and get the animal-in order to move the wagon before the rain. While unhitch ing the mule, a bolt of lightning struck and killed the woman and mule. Cochran Correspondence Hawkinsvllle News: Mr. Walter Lake, an associate of the famous farm ers, the Counts brothers, was in town on Saturday, and indulged to some extent in drink. He was heard to say something about self-destruction, a! though no attention wus paid to it. Pretty soon the report oi a pistol was heard in the closed ware house of Lamb A Harris, which communicates with the saloon oi Lamb A Powell by a side door. He was found lying on bis bock with a pistol in his hand across his breast. Examination rbvealed the fact that the bullet fired missed Its aim and passed through the coat and vest, between the left arm and breast, opposite the heart, not touching hh person. Considerable speculation exists as to his*suicidal intention, hut the surroundings all rod* boy* call themselves tion of “vaqueros.” I the sugar beet has one great advantage over I point to such a purj»ose on his part, anil tbot he AWiunr.in.iini^dltor'urmhb broth-1 wgbum.
