Island, below Savannah, was struck
by lightning last Thursday evening
and severely wounded. He was sit
ting in his office in company *wlth Mr.
Chas. Goetchius. The lightning
struck botli legs below the knees, and
passing down tore up the floor and
otherwise damaged the building.—
His left shoe was torn all in pieces.
Mr. Goetchius was also stunned by
the shock and when he returned to
consciousness he found Dr. White
lying on the floor and sprinkled ice
water on him and he soon revived.
A dispatch was received by Mrs.
White, Friday evening, who was in
this city visiting her parents, Col. and
Mrs. Humber. She left by the first

During the week the cotton worm
was reported as spreading in various
counties south and west of ns and a
small number of the first brood had
been observed on several plantations
in Baldwin by the close of the week.
Many fields bore indications also of
the development of rust, but general
ly in patches. Between these two
adverse influences the present outlook
of tlie cotton crop may be very great
ly marred, during the next four weeks
in Middle Georgia especially. It
would be well anyway riot to have
too hopeful an estimate of the out
come of tlie crops. The rust, the
worm, tlie weavil, tlie flood and low
prices are among the possibilities for
reducing the present flattering pros
pect to a level of previous years, that
were far from profitable. Individual
farmers may find themselves no bet
ter off at Christmas' this year than
they were last if perchance they fail
to economise their crop und expen
diture to the fullest extent in the
meantime. The consumer however
will get the full benefit of large crops
and low prices though there may be
very little profit to the producer even
in his best crops.

The Gotten Seed Oil Mill.
Mr. W. S. Brooks, general Manager
of the Cotton Seed Oil Mill in this
city, in the past few days has vtBited
the counties of Putnam and Hancock
and had the gratifying satisfaction
of meeting with many farmers of
these counties who assured him of
their intention to send their cotton
seed to the Mill of which he has the
management. With free ferriage from
both of these counties to our city,
and its prestige kb a good cotton
market, we sue uo good reason why
the farmers of Hancock and Put
nam should not bring their cotton
and cotton seed to Milledgeville, Mr.
Brooks says the Mill will be in ope.
ration by the time the feed for it is
ready.
This enterprise is the outoome of
Home pluck and industry. It has
been built and outfitted with the
money of our citizens, and its suc
cess will carry with it beneflcal results
to every man woman and child in
the city. Its prosperity will favora
bly affect the business interests not
of of the farmers alone but of
all our merchants, and through
them the general prosperity of all
will be enchanoed. Lot us then give
it all tlie aid and comfort we can. If
it succeeds well it will encourage our
capitalists to inaugurate other indus
tries in other directions and thus
will our brave little city, that has
been put through fiery trials In the
past 30 years, emerge from tlie fur
nace a new born and brighter orea-
tion.

JOSEPH E. POTTLE,
Temporary Administrator
August 17, 1889. 7 It
It was the good fortune of the city
Editor to spend an afternoon and
night at the lovely home of Mr. and
Mrs. M. H. McCoinb last Tuesday.
The situation is known to all our
city readers as the most elevated lo-
eality within tlie corporate limits and
we have described it minutely on a
former visit. A pleasant shower fell
about sundown, and was followed by
delightful breeze that continued
all night. Tire moon came out and
bathed the city and the crooked creek
at the foot of the high hill in a flood
of mellow light that would have in
spired a poet or moved two trusting
young hearts to speak of love, if not
to taste its purity in a more lin-speak-
ing language. •
We spent tlie waking hours of our
visit in looking at the fine cattle, hogs
aud chickens, watching young Mark)
milk the Jerseys most expertly, the
good house-wife prepare her tins for
the rich milk, and look upon the
golden butter, iu walks among the
countless fruit trees laden with their
luscious product, aud the vineyards
studded .with clusters of purple and
golden grapes, all of which fruits we
ate witli the utmost satisfaction, aud
to the extent of our ability. His fine
strawberry beds, newly set out, his
turnips, peas,,cabbage, tomatoes, ok
ra, &c., &o., were tokens of good
living and a plenty of it. What a
sweet contentment there must be in a
home so pleasant and surrounded
with every comfort the heart could
desire or the appetite crave. It was
a treat to one who lives alone to en
joy even for one evening so rsstful a
rest in such friendly company.
An old watermelon raiser told us
last Saturday, that if you bruise or
puncture a watermelon after it is
ripe it will rot in a little while, but if
you cut it straight through with a
knife, one end to the other, it will
keep sweet for 24 hours or more if
the weather is not very warm.
