S This and That. Charles R. Crisp was last week nominated at Hawkinsville to fill his father's unexpired term as con gressman from the Third district. Palmer and Buckner carried one voting precinct in Hie United States so far as heard from, and that was Dudley township, in Has k> 11 county, Kansas. The report from that bailiwick shows that Palmer and Buckner received three votes, McKinley and Hobart two and Bryan and Sewall one. That was j nst one precinct more than many people thought they would get, and one more than they were entitled to. The Zeigler brothers, of Screven county, have been acquitted of the charge of murdering Sheriff Brook er. The evidence by a number of prominent men showed plainly that the Zeiglers shot Sheriff Brooker in the back while he was leaving the church grounds, and without giving one word of warn ing. The verdict was a most mis erable travesty on justice, and just such cases as this do more to encourage lynch law than anything e’si.. The Zeiglers were defended by Tom Watson. Not long ago a telephono line was built from Gadsden to Walnut Grove, and recently, when the price of cotton declined, the farmers in that vicinity attributed it to the wire. Ono day last week a bright and intelligent farmer hitched his oxen to the wire and yanked down about two miles of it before he was satisfied, and now ho will have to answer in the court for the damage doiie to the company’s property. Judge Newsome, the beautiful singer of the ‘’Lone Rock By the Sea,” is getting his grappling irons into the members of the General Assembly occasionally, as is evi denced by an occasional squib in our country exchanges signed ‘ Court Reporter.” Judge Newsome is a nuisance and ought to be sat upon gently, after removing his button hole boquet. It is claimed that 200 trains en ter and leave Atlanta every twenty four hours. WEYLER IS DOOMED. Insurgents Offer $5,000 to the Man Who Kills Him. The agent of a Chicago powder and dynamites firm passed through Atlanta Thursday on his way home from Cuba. He wont over on the last expedition of the Dauntless, was transferred with the tug’s cargo to a fishing smack in the gulf and was landed at a point fifty miles from Havana He gave his name as Phillip Car roll, and says ho accompanied a cargo of ammunition and bore let ters to Cuban leaders on the island . Carroll says the insurgents have set a price on Gen. Weyler’s head and that he will be taken or killed if he gets near the insur gents lines.

Gov’t Report Powder > Absolutely pure LARGEST CORPORATION. The Greatest Corporation in the "World is in the United States. According to a writer in the j American Exporter we have in the I United States the greatest corpor ation in the world. We hold this preeminence, whether it be desira ble dr not. That is altogether an other question, which it is not needful that we should argue now. This great corporation is the : Pennsylvania Company, which controls the Pennsylvania Central and other vast systems of rail roads. It has a capital of $857,- 075.1)00, and 15,430 miles of track which traverses thirteen states It lias 3,756 locomotives, which consume 20,000 tons of coal a day, and make runs equal to the dis tance around the globe every two hours. It has 3,935 passenger cars, 154,000 freight cars, 350 Pullman cars, and 241 other cars for con struction and other purposes, making a total of 158,524 cars, which make a journey equal to the circumference of the earth every eight minutes. The locomotives and cars, if placed upon a single track would reach from New York to Chicago, or fen times the dis tance between Philadelphia and New York. The rails of the Penn sylvania railroad, if laid end to end, would encircle the globe and overlap about 100 miles. The to tal annual revenue of the road is $135,000,100 —equal to $372,506 a day, and $15,525 every hour of the day and night. There is no corporation of any sort, anywhere, that can make such a showing. A drowning man wou'd have lit tle use for a method of rescue which would require days. A dy speptic doesn’t want to bother with a remedy that is going to take weeks to show its beneficial effects. The Mount Lebanon Shakers are offering a product under the name of Shaker Digestive Cordial which yields immediate relief. The very first dose proves beneficial in most cases; and it is owing to their un bounded confidence in it, that they have put 10 cent sample bottles on the maiket. These can be had through any druggist; and it will repay the affiicted to invest the trilling sum necessary to make a trial. The Shaker Digestive Cordial re lieves by resting the stomach and aiding the digestion of food. Laxol is the best medicine for children. Doctors recommend it in place of Castor Oil. Imprisonment For Life. Yorkville. S- C., Nov. 24. —The motion for a new trial in the case 1 of M. R. Reese and Daniel Luckie, j convicted jointly’ of murdering ' Charles T. Williams, of Georgia, was heard this morning. The at torneys for the defense made a strong ph-a, but it was ignor >d by i the prosecution. Judge Watts overruled the mo tion and asked the defendants t • stand up for fit tenet?. They were both S' ub :><•< d for life imprison m< nt, the verdict of thejury being ' gui ty with a recommendation to mercy. The erection o f a $500,000 cot ton mill will be commenced m i Birmingham in the near future. Newd Notes. The Bank of France has a cam era so trained that the picture of any suspicious visitor may be se cured without the suspected indi vidual knowing that he has been caught. Richard E. Cherry, for a long while associate editor of the Al bany Penny Press, committed sui cide by taking laudaum last Wed nesday evening. Despondency, caused by losing his position is said to have been the cause of his rash act. The county authorities of Atlanta have just signed a contract for a new jail to cost about $170,000. The Jonas King suit for the re covery of valuable real estate in Rome which from the magnitude of the amount involved and the prominence of the parties to the suit has excited much interest, lias boon postponed until January.

Two Lives Saved. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junc tion City, 111., was told by her doc tors she had consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King’s New Discov ery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos.
