Liberty Hall has been bought and paid for, and they now- want funds to beautify the grounds, repair the building and erect suitable monuments to Mr. Stephens and his brother Linton. Mr. Stephens??? ???haft will cost between $3,000 and $8,000. A com* mittee to solicit contributions will be appointed in Athens. The negroes around Athens believe there is great medicinal virtue in ???May water,??? os they term it, it being the water from the flrpt rainfall in May. One negro has saved several bottlos for future use, that he would not exchange for its weight in sil ver. The Jonesboro calaboose has been advertised for sale, the prohibition of whisky having rendered it unnecessary. Griffin News: Some two years ago or more the Colored religious society iu this city known as the African Methodists employed Mr. John Westbrook, the well known builder, to construct the church edifice which adorns the corner of New Orleans and Solomon streets. The church people contrite iiu??> uuuruu uuuuuig, uuu wic ucep waver wquisu Just across the way had done likewise, Indue time the house was ready for occupa tion, and many and many has been the time when the solidity of the building has been put to the test, for your African Methodist is no gospel sluggard when she has on her war paint However, to make a long story short, Mr. Westbrook haa never been paid in full for his work, and a few days ago a notice was served on the church people that the church house would be sold under the builders??? law unless the money long duo was paid over. In consultation with a member of the congregation on yesterday, a News reporter learned that the church wus hardly at fault for this seeming negligence to pay a Just debt. ???Captain Westbrook has been a lenient creditor," remarked this mem ber. ???He has waited patiently for a long time and has never pressed the church, and ???till wc are not altogether nt fault.??? ???Wherefore?" ???Never mind about his cognomen. It???s nn old, old scandal; let it rest, and just say wc will meet the debt os soon as we possibly can,??? and the brother faded down the vista known ns Clabber Alley. ThS colored people of Barnesvlllo have also lmd a church difficulty, In which two factions of Bap tists fought each other vigorously. Each of them appointed a committee to meet in Joint session with the following os nn advisory counsel selected by the two parties: Dr. J. II. DcYotle, Judge John D. Stewart, Rev. R. J. Willingham, Itcv. B. L. Hentely and Messrs. C. W. Brown, Dr. J. L. Fogg, and J.C. McMtchncl. Rev. J. H. DeVotio was called to tho chair as moderator, and the two par ties were allowed to present their grievances. Af- ter hearing both sides the advisory committee sug gested that In their Judgment the best thing they could do was to recognise all members in good standing, including those who had been turned outbecauso they sought another building or to hold service elsewhero than iu tho church building before it was burned. The counsel then advised tho granting of letters to nil who desired to withdraw in order to go with Rev. Gilmore. Tho advice of the counsel was taken and a resolu tion passed embodying the same. This uuites the church in fellowship and at the same time all who desire to leave the old organization and enter into a new one edn do so. The counsel then advised that the land where the church formerly stood be appraised by the advisory commlttco and that it then be sold to the highest bidder, the deacons of the church taking the matter In hand and arrang ing the time for the sale. When the sale is made tljc money is to be paid to Sir. C. W. Brown of the advisory counsel, who will pay one-half of tho ame to each of tho two parties. Tho advice was also adopted by resolution with but one dissent ing voice. The original trouble grew out of the selection of a pastor, one party desiring to retain Rev. C. Gilmore, and the other seeking a man named Lowe. Mr. James Weed, of Brownings, In 1882, planted cotton April Cth, and hod blooms June 2ft. In 18M he planted April ftth, and had blooms June ICth. He advises early planting. Grass is about to take the cotton crop in Banks county. In Harmony Grove. Henry Donnclson (colored) got his bouse burned down a few nlghU ago,and his children c??mo very near perishing In the flames. They were askep and alone at the time. Captain J. JJ. Martin, a well known citfzcu o Carroll county, has three very Industrious and prolific hens that arc raising IfJ little helpless chicks. The first has 2ft, the second 28, and the third 48. In Franklin county a group of workmen, seeing a dark cloud approaching, hastily left their plows In the field, mounted their horses and were push ing on toward the house, when a sudden glitter ing gleam of lightning struck among them ns they rode abreast. The party consisted of Mr. Thomas Payne, Willie Conley and another man. Ahead of this party, about thirty yards, rode Mr. James Conley, who looked back and first saw the party all abreast, and on looking bock a second time they were all prostrated ou the ground. It was found that Willie Conley, a lad of nineteen years, was killed, and the horse he rode, while Mr. Payne???s shoe was tom off his foot and his ty>r*e dead under him. The other man and his horse escaped unhurt. Paulding New Era: I will tell about a certain Circumstance which happened In time of tin l????-v- olutlonary war. The Americans w*r.* ??-*.r-.i.*i Keowce river, now in Wcken* rount; s? ??uh??ur- olitia, and one fort on Ninety-Six iwilecreek, in Edgfield county, South Carolina. Then? w.-??n Indian woman carried u d!*,?? , nun Keowee to Ninety-six fort, iu one ??'??? ??????- When she left Keowee fort she named the cici ks as she crowed them. The first she crossed she called It Twelve Mile creek. The next she crossed she called Eigteen- m lie creek. The next she caW^dJwenty-tbre^ mile creek, and then she crossed Twenty-slx-inl!e creek, and so on until she arrived at the other fort, and was on a creek and she called it Ninety- slx-mllc creek. That was ninety-six miles from Keowce fort. She named those creeks, and they still go by the names the Indian woman gave them when she crossed them. I was borni on Twenty-three-mile creek. *ou can yet tell where old Ninety-six fort stood. Spring Place Times: The exceedingly poor pros pects for a paying cotton crop have actually caus ed some of our farmers to say that they will en gage In its production no longer. It will, howev er, be impossible for some to quit It at once, sim ply because each crop is under contract to pay tor Its fertilisers and supplies purrhs??cd on a credit, and payments therefor win exhaust the entire proceeds. At the end of the year nothing remains, and another cotton crop is pro jected upon which long priced hog and hominy dealers take supply mortgages only to scoop U all in except what is paid Tor adulterated fertilisers, and thus we move along in straitened circumstances from year to year In perfect servi tude to these grinding and exacting creditors. There is not a single farmer in Murray county who does not know bow to avoid these trials and Ills, but lest custom and habit should be contra vened, the old groove Is traveled although an in extricable ditch Ilea in the near future. A writer has this to my ot Forsyth county In the Gumming Clarion: I want to say right now to yon and all the ???rest of mankind.??? that Forsyth to the banner county- hasbigher priced land, more comfortable white cottage homes, more densely populated, larger mm nrettfer women and more children than can be'fo urnOn aar other eoantf Id this we may add first rate water and health.

This na turally brings me to speak of old 8awnee, in the center of the county. Who has not heard of 8uwnce, the mountain upon which the Indian lovers sought refuge and in which they found and entered a cave, the stalac tites and stalagmites of which were pure gold. But tradition aside, there is perhaps no richer gold mine anywhere than in old Sawnee. It Is sup- posed that over one million of pennyweights of gold have been taken from its surface and depos its, and and yet there has never been used at the most of these places anything but the most primi tive and simple machinery. All these may be said to have been only discovered and now await de velopment. What we need is capital, energy and confidence. Wo invite capitalists to come and in vestigate. James Mathias, the oldest citizen iu Murrray county, died a few days ago. He was 105 years old. Both gold and silver, in paying quantities, has been discovered In the vicinity of Fort mountain, Murray county. Elbcrton South: While cveryl>ody is talking about hard times and the scarcity of money, we went Into the house of Swift Bros, the other morn ing while the bookkeeper, Mr. Craig, was balanc ing cash. The amount of cash on hand was $8,- 614. besides $10,000 iu the safe on deposit. The senior member of the firm stated that the bouse did not owe a nickel in the world. This looks like Elbcrton wusii good place for bnsincss. A Clayton, Rabun county, writer in the Clarkes- ville Argus, says: :ven ??pla_??? . .. - - until he began to strike up with the kind of men ho was looking for???men of his own creed, who had money, and who would put it on the board.

Some years since a crowd of road hands were working the read that runs along the foot of the hill opposite the cemetery, and while throwing the dirt out of a hole that hud been caused by the pouring of the water offthc bank, they found the skeleton of a man. The most creditable solution of this mystery is, that this man was waiting there to meet some one to play him a game, and was killed by his antagonist, and concealed iu that place. A grave yard must be a solemn place to go to gamble. A horrible murder took place in the Cohutta mountains last week; tho wife of Dow Grace, formerly of Dawson, was killed, her eyes both put out Hilda pole sharpened and pierced through her breast and hanged up in a suppling to dry. It is not known who did the crime. Something over a year ago, says the Jonesboro News, Clay county adopted the prohibition, law, and she has never had cause to regret that wise step. The incrchauts declared, last fall, that trade was ten per cent better than any previous fall, and that collections were from thirty to fifty per cent better. The ???calaboose??? has been advertis ed for sale, .and the tow n marshal has no troublo at all. The sheriff says that*lt has ruined his busi ness. There has been no new cases of importance added to the court docket. The moral tone of Jonesboro and county Is in every way healthier than ever before. In fact, prohibition Is a grand and glorious move in behalf of humanity. Elder R. T. Speight preached his fortieth anni versary sermon at Piney Woods Primitive Baptist church, In Haralson county, the first Sunday In June. The church was established tho first Satur day In June, 1M4. Elder 8pc!ght was elected as pastor and has served It continuously from that time to the present, except a few months during the war. Elder Speight was tho only member present at tho anniversary who was present at the organization. Elder Speight is, and has been for a long time, moderator of tho'New Hope association. llurnlson Banner: Tho heaviest wind storm that has visited this section since the well remembered ???dry storm??? of I860, passed over us about eleven .???clock Saturday night.

Memorandum Issued by the State Hoard of Health, Tho New York state board of health considers the powdblly and facili'ics for the introduction of cholera Into this country too obvious to be disre garded, and therefore a memorandum on preven tive measures against the disease has been Issued. The history of former invasions of cholera, say* the board, warrants the belief that its reappear ance here is probable. Cholera, which in two months of midsummer In 1865 destroyed 80,- 000 lives in Egyyt, reached Franco and Germany by September, and was discov ered nt the New York quarantine a* early as No vember. In the spring of I860 It ognin threatened the United States. It lingered in the west, was returned to Governor???s island, and thence found a new departure in 1807, when it was terribly de structive iu somcsoetlons. The outbreak in the Mississippi valley In 1873 was traced to Its intro duction by way of New Orleans. Tho disease os reported in southern Europe presents the same threatening aspects, thinks the board, ns it did In August, 1865, when it was conveyed to our shores in a definite manner, and to about the same series of restiug places and fatal i>otuts of outbreak that it now threatens to attack. , , The facilities for tho introduction of the dtocoro have increased slnco 186ft, but tho means of exact sanitary knowledge and quarantine polJro for ar resting and stamping out the transportable cause of it are also greater. No city widen is fully pre pared for the announcement that Asiatic cholera turn from Ifie.ueanerntncuu suiie* wnrc iur *i and the destructive malignancy of t|fc dtoesse all give a warning to be ready for Aslastie cholera. There to, says the statu board, a specific Infective cause of Asiatic cholera, called Its contaglum, by which It spreads os rapidly as the persons suffer- .lug, ever so lightly, from it go from place to place. Iln every country where contaglum exists ft has ceased to be repmpagated beyond the sanitary In every count: ceased to be lines which separate tho cleansed, drained and ventilated premise's and well-conditioned inhabi tants from the filthy, or where polluted food and water and harmful beverages prepare the system for the fatal operation of the poisuu. For cholera to be diffused from continent to continent it must have as factors for its cultivation a centre of pollu- tfon for fts cradle, a shfp for Its trnns|Hn t, ami a number of towns prepared for Its reception and development laical conditions of danger--the sanitary neglects that have prepared for a lodg- io prevention of propagation Is very difficult af ter the disease hits obtained a foothold in any of the commercial centres. Tho presence of filth, stagnant pools, polluted water, and badly housed and imprudent |??c??>ulo will Invite cholera to hun dreds of places iu tno state If it once appears in any port. ???Now,??? says tho board, ???before the ex otic Infection has come, let all local boards of health and all householders lose no time In en forcing such thorough scavenging and cleansing, such cleaning of sewers, drains ami ditches, and such ventilating, drying, limc-wa??h!ng and disin fecting of cellars ami all damp nml unclean places that If cholera cornea Its infective germs shall find no soil or foul surface In which to propagate epi demically.?????? , The contagion to not chiefly taken from the bodies of the sick, but the virus Is proved to re quire the concurrence of ntteuduut conditions of inobturcund filth to prodiiis* any extended scries of cases. One great source of danger is that the exotic germ Inal matter becomes not only Infect ive of persons exposed to It by water or tne atmos phere, but may, by its infinite rapidity of repro duction, under favoring conditions of foul air mud filth, rapidly become epidemic within the limits of such impurity. Kauitary harriers must, therefore, be erected belorc cholera comes. As soon as found the disease most be treated by vigorous isolation ami destructive disinfection. Preventive sanitary measures consist in anni hilating all local conditions which would harbor the disease, if the cholera germs find no breath ing place in filthy conditions of premises, nlr or drinking water, there to no danger. The memo randum concludes: ???Whenever cholera comes, as wc hope it will not, a brief statement showing how to resist cholera and what to do in Its presence will lie im mediately sent to all parts of the stato through the local board* of health. It to now the duty of local sanitary authorltlesand all householders to inspect the premises within their jurisdiction and promptly cause the necessary sanitary- im provements to be made. None of this work will . be lost even were cholera effectually arrested by the barriers of quarantine I nml disinfection at the port* It enters. The rra* son* for sanitary iunpeetion* and work* are appli cable to protect against Infection* and epidemic diseases generally, and it to because in the midst of wet grounds and pools,filth sodden surfaces.foul sinks, and polluted drinking waters, cholera finds local conditions for Its epidemics, that now the general duty to urged upon all sanitary authorl- ties and householder* to make careful sanitary In spections; to drain all stagnant pool* and low grounds near dwellings, to dean all sewers and home drains: to cleanse and dtoeufect cellars, privies, and all filthy places, and examine and protect the purity of dTrlnklng water.???

When Wallack???s curtain rose upon Miss Lula Hurst lost night it revealed a tall, ungraceful girl In n red dress in the act of seating herself in a chair tor from the footlights. She managed her dress unskilfully, sat down sidewise, and then wriggled into the right position as if she was not used to long skirts. The most that was apparent at the flrsi glanco was tlmt she was very tall,uuformcd as well shapely, and wore a Chrystio street bang, long, thick, nut-brown curls, and a heavy, long gold opera Watch chain. Mr. Paul Atkinson introduced her. He is a slender,gen teel young man, who wore a dress suit, and spoke like those who pronounce Georgia ???Joe-Jah.??? Ho is said to be a spiritualist, but looks as he might be one. His face is thin, his checks sunkcu, and his eyes cavernous. As an adjunct .toa mystery, be is the right sort of looking per son. When he waved his left hand it moved iu a Hue which, if continued, would have crossed the beads of General Dan Sickles and cx-Heuator Itor coeConkllng, who sat nearby regarding him. When he made a sweep with his right hand ho threw an imagined curve past the.Rev. George II. Ilepworth, J. F. Loubat, aud Joun T. Raymond. Twenty club men were in a row at hto feet, and playwrights, actors, stage manages and club men were sprinkled nil over the house, which, for the first time, filled slowly. It was well filled, though, when the fun began. Mr. Atkinson invited any who chono to come upon the stage, and altont hall a dozen men who looked like hospital patients out ou leave clam bered up. Then tho Georgto wonder arose, and placed the palm of her hand upon an open um brella while one of the consumptives tried to hold It. Each time the umbrella flew up, curved overhead, and turned Inside out, a perfect wreck. Thosowho believe in the Georgia wonder called attention to the lact that throe times out of five placed only the tint palm of her ???eo mu iii??? ii uraai wiviiiiuivcft. uieir iccio hold on like grim death, and then seethe brella go to flinders as If it was n < Icorgia tornado jnstcad of a big-boned country girl that hail touched it.

Sho broke the thick cud of a billiard cue In one encounter. There was an lutcrmlssion filled with piano music, and then the second part of the i??crform- ance began. There was a stampede for tho stage. The athletic young club men had como on pur pose to outdo tho wonder, and they were foremost tithe mMi.

They were divided as to opinion. Home said they saw the girl grip the chair; others saw her pre** down on it. As many more were positive that she only pressed lightly with her palm*. Once iu awhile It was noticed that her hands were directly on those of the men who struggled against her. These said site used no strength. ???What If she did???? said Mr. Grant,??of the Union club. ???Did ever the woman live who could nut n chair down when two or three athlete* held It?

Sometimes they forced a rhnlr down against her effort* but It was only after long struggles that they did soi Young Grant, Allle Hmlth. and an other young man with a neck like a bull deter mined to unite* their strength to put a chair down. Like the rest, they tugged aud strained along while, and then all four fell into the footlights. The Hun reporter, who never yet ho* seen any mystic force fn u human being, watched thogJrl * I band* closely. At limes she deliberately clasped the chair as any one would do. At other times she lightly held her (Mims against it. The effect seemed to be the satno whatever she did. Hhe could not throw Gus Heckler out of the chair with a grip or with palm prewture, and Mr. Robinson, the actor, also defeated her. They are heavy weight* *rtd she could only rock them.

She notices that the longer she practices each night the stronger the force grows. The reporter left her In the hands of Major Bond, who was trying to'convince her that she was gifted with odic force, which was discovered by Dr. Beard. Hhe giggled at this, and ???joined to lie irlud to hear it. ^The persons on thestage kept apart and wrangled over the mooted agency by which she perform* her feats. One half of the qrowd Insisted that the other half should adjourn to a beer saloon and see the performance* repeated with plain, honest muscle. The others having noticed that the country maiden continually rub* her baiigs with her right hand and smooth* her dress with her left, were divided as to whether her hafr ot her dress were stored with galvanism. Tne third part of the evening???s performance was a continuation of the chair wrestling. The stout men were til In readiness, and took turns. Home pat the chair down or stuck In It despite her ef forts, others were pulled all around the stage. ??V'J yet others surrendered very quickly. The girl giggled and uttered her unnalura* little laugh, but though perspiration dampened her forehead, ???be seemed not at all fatigued.

A reporter of the Hun remarkable element, which many young ladies will envy her more than her magnetic force. Hhe seems able to wears different dress every day. , Her appearance and manner are those of a girl of M 16, and at the same time her firm conviction, ?? shared by mauy around her. that she can send a . L gentleman scooting in any direction lends a > charm and esse to her manner that most young K girls of 16 haven't got. Some of the young men who have felt her power and wanted to be skepti cal said that her eye* and her laugh bad more to do with It than her magnetism. They were look ing at the one and listening to the other, and for got to control their muscle*, and so she pushed them wherever she wanted to. Miss Lula???s father nml mother, who both belong to the Baptist church in Georgia, were there too, and seemed very proud of their daughter, and very much in terested iu all she did. Mr. Hurst to a deacon, and hto wife says that when Lulu's power first manifested itself, a few S months ago, he refused to pay any attention to it, 2 and wouldn???t watch a single chair or table move, m or witness the wrecking of even one timbrella for r three days. At the end of tlmt time he hail to ad mit that there wo* something strange about her, but the whole tom ly, even yet, unite In seoutiug any idea ef spiritualism, or of anything contrary to the doctrines of the Baptist church. Mr. At kinson, the young gentleman of slight build, who Introduces Miss Hurst in tho evening, told how sho had exercised her powers that morning on a medium who lived in the house. He asked to sec what sho could do after break fast and although she doesn???t like to do anything close upon a meal, she consented, and holding desperately to one end of a thin canc.and finally landing against the wall at which stage he shouted: ???Thereto eight of them, eight spirits be- mvuse their child of having spirits with her. nml Mis* Lulu herself laughed very musically,and sniil that inau was the mo*t foolish of all the men tlmt she had met. When doubt was expressed ah to tbc genuineness of Miss Hum's performance, none of the faniil - appear to feel at all offended. Mrs. Hurst sail, ???lie almost wished her Lulu couldn't do all those things, beenuffo it some times worried her. Her father said: ???Thereto something there that I eat)???t ex plain, and this gen eratlon Isn???t going to explain it any more thau I am. Scientist* don't want to admit it, because they don't understand it, and so of course wo can???t expect to meut any but skeptics. But that don???t prevent the fact that if there were five hun dred pound* of iron ou that ctwNr, and Lula put her hands against the side of it, it would have to move.??? Ml** Lula laughed at the doubt*, and tho young man of light build exhibited i; pensive smile. JIo has been struck In the eye by n mag netized umbrella ami I* thoroughly convinced. Mrs. Hurst explained how her daughter'* won derful power first manifested itoolf. Hhe was rid ing in a buggy with a young man, and it began to In. The young man recklessly put up ou urn- _.*ello. The umbrella hit everything around there, ineluding the horse and the girl, and finally turned inside out, and shot Into space over the l*iek of the buggy, leaving Miss Lula very much surprised, the young man very much annoyed, anil tho couple ropldly getting wet. Since that day Mrs. Hurst says her daughter 1ms not been able to carry nn umbrella or a parasol, and the ??? nginen Iu Polk county, Georgia, never Invite to go buggy riding when It looks like rain.
