Ga. Lunatic Asylum, has made in two

one mile each, and conducted 5498
visitors through the buildings.
Aug. 21st, 1886.
Frank Humphries is in jail in this
city, awaiting his execution which is
fixed for the 24th of September. He
is reading his Bible and trying to pre
pare to meet his God.
The trial of Dr. Woodrow, at Beth
any, resulted in the acquittal of the
the doctor on both counts. An ap
peal will bs taken to the synod at
Sparta next October.
amusing to see the serious
earnestness, zeal and firm stick-to-it
iveness with which B. and R. set in
the alcove and play drafts for hours
and for winnance too. Each has
for a stake, a piece of tobacco about
the size of your middle finger, which
they lay down beside the board
when the contest begins with as much
gravity as if their all were at stake
Each stops and hesitates over a move
as long and deliberately as if the fate
of Empires hung upon it, but at last
B. wins and takes down one piece and
R. puts up another. The same staid
and serious conflict begins again and
after, perhaps, an hour of hard work,
deep thought and careful moving, R.
wins and B. has to “put up'’ the piece
he had won an hour before. And so
rocks the game from 6 a. in., to 3.30
p. m., when Base Ball supercedes it,
and the amount of tobacco that has
been lost or won is not over half an
ounce, or more generally they quit
even. When questioned about the
boldness of their betting so extensive
ly, B. says, “Oh we must have ‘some
tiling up*’ to make it interesting, - ’ and
R. says, “I wouldn’t waste my time to
play unless I had a chance to win
something.” Don’t let them know I
told this on them.
Ed. B's. Fish Story.
The season for snake stories is a-
bout over, but that for fish is still in.
Ed. B. is about the most zealous fish
erman here, but not always the most
successful, at least in numbers. But
when he comes in with “a fisherman’s
luck,” (you know what that is,) he
has always to tell of having “hung
the finest trout in the Oconee, but he
dropped back just as he had him
ashore: he would have weighed’twelve
pounds.”
“Will you swear to it,” asked Dr. B.
“No,” said he, “I swore enough
when he fell back into the river.”
But that is not the story he told.
He said that he was in a boat fish
ing in the river near the mouth of
the creek, had caught several nice
fish that were then fluttering in the
bottom of the boat, and that a fine
five pound carp that has escaped from
some of the fish ponds in the late
freshets, hearing them in the boat
made a struggle and jumped from the
river into the boat with them.
“Gentlemen,” he said, “you may
not believe it, but its a fact and don’t
you forget it.”
I don’t doubt it, for Ed says it is
true and he never tells anything but
the strict truth about his fishing ex
ploits.
