A Harrow «»cap>. Dr. Job. H. White, of the U. S. Ho«- pital Service, located at Blackbeard 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 train Saturday morning, and met the Doctor in Savannah, on his w*> - 0 this city, accompanied by Mr G vteh- jus. The party reached this v Sun day morning, and are now tile resi dence of Col. Humber. Dr. White is unable to stand upon his feet and is suffering from the wounds where the skin is broken. Dr. Harris .is attend ing him. His many friends here and elsewhere hope lie will soon recover. WEATHER AND CROP REPORT For Week Ending Aug. 18th, 1889. An abstract of Observations made ?or the Signal Service and National Department of Agriculture for the County of Baldwin: USX. 78 Min. 87 Sty. Cloudy. Cloudy. Cloudy. Cloudy. Clear. Clear Clear Knln fall. .42 Eleotrleal dieplay. Kaln 4--4 p m line season In crope Hay harrci; begin Deaaant weather moon Pet qr6.18am Mean temperature, 70. Rainfall 67- 100 of an inch. Total rainfall since Jan. 1, 34.40. (Normal). 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. SAC Midway, Aug. 19, 1889. 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. Tho Dublin Post of the 14th, al- lutding to the return of Miss Husie Bearden to Milledgeville, Bays: Miss Susie is a most estimable Young lady, lovod for her many admirable traits of character, aad during her sojourn with us has won the friendship of all and we do not hesitate to say that there is no one who could leave Dub lin whose departure The Post more deeply regrets.

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.
