The operation was successfully performed by Drs. . Stovall and Johnson. Prohibition or something else has - increased the prospective attendance mpcn the public schools of Atlanta. The Constitution reports 1,000 appli cants for seats now' against only 558 last vear.

This characteristic of the county has been especially ■marked since prohibition went into effect.

This is the second A gentleman from Flemington, Lib erty county, reports that the colored people there are greatly wrought up over the peculiar circumstances con nected with a negro woman’s death. The woman had been sick for some time, and late one afternoon about a week ago she died, or at least those who were present had every reason to believe that she did, and they had her laid out as a bona fide corpse. The friends of the dead woman were sit ting around in the room, when sud denly the supposed corpse was seen to move restlessly a time or two and then assumed a sitting posture. The mourners rushed out of the house frightened half out of their wits. After remaining out some time two or three of the bravest among them mustered up courage to approach the house. When they had come within speaking distance the woman called to them to come in, that she had something to say to them. With’ fear and trembling tney entered, and the woman told them that she had been dead, but that she had come back to give them a warning. The warning was that the world would come to an end on September 29th. After mak ing this awful prediction she said that she would be with them until nine o’clock the next morning when she would leave them forever. She asked them all to get ready for the final winding up on September 29tli, and to be prepared to meet her on that day. She was punctual to the min ute as to her promise to leave them at nine o’clock the following morning, and died precisely at that hour. All this occurred a few days before the earthquake, and the coming of this was full and complete proof to the negroes that the prediction was true They regard the earthquake as a fore runner of the eventful September 29th. The wildest excitement pre vails among the negroes, and they are preaching and praying day and night; they have constant relays of preach ers, and as one is exhausted another is put up in his place. Signs of Improvement.—But a great change is occurring in the South Five years ago all tha way from Washington to Atlanta not one herd of cattle could be seen in the fields; indeed, even fields were few, for fen ces were rare, and homesteads, such as Northern farmers are used to, did not exist within view of the roads. Now a wonderful change is apparent. Green fields of grass and clover, fenc ed pastures with flocks and herds grazing; and by actual count, more than 500 new houses are to be seen within 500 miles south of Washington on the Piedmont Air Line Railroad. Fields of clover and timothy, which I never saw surpassed on any Northern farm, may now be seen in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, and the farmers are all talk ing of the benefits to be derived from this new crop.—[Henry Stewart, in the Country Gentleman. WASHINGTON SUPERIOR COURT. Committed Suicide. Augusta Evening News of the 7th. Last afternoon about 3:s0 o’clock a startling report was current through the streets that Mr. Charles H. Mur- phey, had committed suicide. Shortly afterwards a large crowd had gathered around Mr. N. W. Mur phey’s residence on Telfair street just above Elbert to ascertain if the re port was true. The following account of the suicide was obtained by the News: Mr. N. W. Murphy was out at Hephzibah, and his other son and two daughters are in Atlanta. At din ner table yesterday were seated Mr. Charles Murphey, his mother and younger brother, Ellwood. 4* ie y conversed about Mr. Charles Mur- phey’s health. He has been suffering of late with indigestion, but remarked that he felt better than he had for the previous three days. His mother thought her son looked depressed. After partaking of a hearty dinner he went up stairs to his room. Eliwooa had got about thirty yards from tne house, and his mother was still in tne dining room, when a few minutes alt er he reached his room a pistol shot was heard. Mrs. Murphey ran up the stairs, calling her son, but failed to receive a reply. Ellwood returned to ascertained what the trouble was, hastened up the stairs and entered ms brother’s room and found him lying dead on the floor. A number of persons hastened to tne scene endeavoring to find the location of the shot. The ball entered his brain from behind his right ear, caus- 1 ing instant death. The unfortunate young man was twenty-seven years of age, and will be buried tomorrow morning from St. John’s Methodist Church, His was indeed a sad and appalling death, and the cause assigned was his impaired health. The coroner held an inquest and returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. We do hereby certify tliat we supervise the arrangements for all the Monthly ana quar terly Drawings of The Louisiana State Lotte ry Company, and in person manage and control the Drawings themselves, and that the same are conducted with honesty, fairness, and in gooa faith toward all parties, and we authorize tne Company-to use this certificate, with fac-simnes of our signatures attached, in Its advertise ments.” Sanders ville, Ga., September 9.— [Special to the Atlanta Constitution. —]The September term of Washing- superior court convened here Monday, with Judge R. W. Carswell presiding. There are several interesting suits for trial which will take up much time. Tuesday the grand jury was engaged in the consideration of the State vs. Harper T. Gilmore, charged with the offense of murder in one in stance, and carrying concealed weap- : ons in the other. The investigation, | it will be remembered, arose from the fatal affray between Messrs. Oscar A. Roughton and Harper T. Gillmore in front of Mr. J. D. Newman’s store. ; Two witnesses were sworn- for the , state, viz: Dr. Win. Rawlings and Ed. Price, colored. It is impossible to ob- 1 tain any information as to what Price, the main witness for the State, swore I to before that body, for upon his tes- ! timony mainly rested the result of the investigation. The grand jury re turned no hill in both cases, thus vindicating Gilmore. Gilmore's friends are highly gratified at the action of the jury, and say that it was proper and just. The friends of Roughton - , ., are dissatisfied with the grand jury's death in tins family, anu another son j f a jj ure q n( j true bills in both cases is not expected to live through the dav Mrs L.

Nothing Secure.—After such ex perience how much less secure seems to be our hold of the estates so many covet. We often hear men speak of the “solid earth” and the “everlast ing hills,” but when the crust trem bles and yawns beneath our very feet, we realize how frail are all our exter nal possessions. The only unfading treasures to which we can cling are the realities of the unseen world, be yond the reach of moth and rust, or earthquake shock, and forever secure even from the gnawing tooth of time. The title deeds to this inheritance is wrought within us, and if we are truly heirs, areas imperishable as the es tate that is thus reserved.—New York Journal of Commerce. Mr. J. L. Reid’s gin house was burn ed yesterday morning at 10 o’clock. Cotton was being ginned at the time, and the wind blew directly towards the gin house.
