The Atlanta ihuniml has recent
lv come out in anew dress, am.
otherwise been improved.
The North Geoigiu Meihodist
Conference were in session at Ce
dar town last week. ■
The cold and sharp blizzards
are cutting a high hand in.the icy’
north. Much suffering of cattle.
The 22nd. insl., Alinnasota was
visited by heavy snow storms, do
ing great damage to railroads and
other property.
It is not necessary to say the
president hai been somewhat sold
in the recent elections. lie is now
trying to make votes in the South
by turning out and making new
appoinUnents at every little cross
road posfeffice.
The republican party wants more
silver eained. The country does’nt
want so much silver money. Hath
er a change It. is burdensome to
the mails; registered letters are
bungiesome and weighty. Noth
ing larger than a 25 cent, piece
ought to be coined.
The Journal is in receipt of Yol.
I, No. 11, of the Alliance Farmer,
published al Selnian, Fla., by W.
1?, Shields. The Alliance Farmer
is a newsy sheet, it is just thes'ze
the Journal will be between now
and January—but it is sl, and the
Journal will be 75 cents.
As mentioned in ttie Journal ot
last week, the two Athens papers
have been consolidated, and are
now published as one by The Ath
ens Publishing Company. The
new paper has niide its appear
ance under the he id ing of The
Athens Banner And Chronicle.
Editors Gantt of the Banner, Stone
A Christy of the Chronicle, main
tdn their positions on the new pa
per. We trust the new enterprise
will be a success and the stock
holder# will reap a large dividend.
The 22u.1. inst., quite a tragedy
occurred in New York City. Mrs.
Hannah South worth, with a 38
Smith & Wesson pistol, shot Ste
phen L. Pettus live times, killing
him instantly on the sidewalk. Mr.
Pettus was secretary and treasurer
of the Brooklyn Elevated railroad,
and a member of the firm of Pol
lard, Pettus & Cos. Tiie crime for
which Mrs. Southworfh killed Pet
ius was a dastardly one. lie had
betrayed her. She was a vouwg
widow. Pettus was unmarried.
Both were of good families.
The Knights of Labor..
Mr Po vderly, master of Knights
>i Labor, thinks there is no reason
why anew ndional party should
not !jorganized and elect a presi

In a Box Car With a Tiger.
There was a story in the Sun
fc :e other day about an elephant
that got. loose in Hoboken and
made things lively for a number of
men who were trying to get him to
the Adams Express freight depat
at the Courlland street ierry. He
was finally shipped to the winter
quarters tf Wallace <fc Anderson’s
show in Peru, Ind., together with
a car load ef other wild animals,
and Edward Thieler, a young man
ia the employ of Charley lieiche &
Bro., went in the car with them.
Among the animals was a Ben
gal.tiger, four year; old, and o*'an
ugly disposition. Young Thieler
.vent al 1 the way to Peru in the an
imal car, and returned to this city
yesterday.
♦•Everything went smoothly be
tween hero and Philadelphia, ’’ he
told a reporter yesterday. ‘-Just be
fore we reached Harrisburg, about
two or three o’clock in the morn
ing, I noticed that tlie tiger was
getting uneasy, and found that he
had torn several of the iron bars
out cd the trout of bis box. lie
was trying to get at a sacred cow,
tied about four feet away.
4 T drove him back with a pitch- 1
fork and mov ;d the sacred cow out
of his reach. When I next turned
my attention to the tiger lie had
forced his way out, I got behind
the elephant, Prince, when the ti
ger sprang for Prince’.* head. The
elephant knocked him down with
his trunk, bur. tbe liger went for
him oguiu and the elephant dash
ed th® beast against the car and
stunned him,
‘T went for Mr. Anderson, who
was in the smoker, and we manag
ed to beat him back info his box
aad fasten a wire screen over his
cage. When wo reached Harris
burg we got some boards and pat Hi
ed up.
