SEVERAL CURES REPORTED
The improvements being made at
Georgia Factory are being pushed rapid
ly to completion.
Capt. John R. White determined
several months since to increase the ca
pacity of his mill in order to meet the
growing demand for its product.
The mill building had been construc
ted with plenty of room to double its
capacity, and the new machinery was
an easy matter to order.
He at once set to work to provide
power with whioh to run the new ma
chinery.
A dam was constructed across the
Oconee at a point about a mile and a
half below the present mill. This dam
has just been completed.
The next thing that will be done will
be the putting in of water wheels and
machinery with which to generate elec
tric power.

requested the board to extend the hours
of the daily session from two until three
o’clock in the afternoons fox the three
highest grades and from two to half-past
two o’clock for the lower grades.

A telegram was received yesterday
from his brother, Mr. Jake Tweedy,

his brother could now talk a little.
Some time since Mr. J. D. Tweedy,
while at his home in Madison was sud
denly stricken with paralysis, his entire
left side Icing affected. His power of
speech disappeared at the same time.
The most skillful physicians were em
ployed and they succeeded in restoring
to him the use of his limbs, but could
never give him back his speech.
Mr. Tweedy, of course, was greatly

The many friends of Capt. Jerry Hiteli
will be glad to learn of bis steady recov
ery from his it cent injuries.
Capt. Riteli was thrown from his bug
gy on Barber street several weeks since
aud laid his thigh broken. Since then
he has been at his daughter’s, Mrs. A. L.
King’s, on Barber stiver.
The knitting of the hone has been slow
but sure and during ihe several weeks
Capt. Hitch has been stretched ujxiu his
lied with a twenty-five pound weight at
inched to his foot. He boro this iueon
Ycuionee and pain as bravely as he did
the hardships and privations of army
life.
Yesterday Capt. Riteh was well
enough to be removed to his home near
the city, and within the next few weeks
will lie aide to walk again.
T. L. Kennedy, colored, who ran a re
publican paper at Elberton, Ga., is to be
tried a second time at Danielsville this
week on the charge of assault with iu-
tent to murder.
Kennedy wrote some objectionable
articles in his paper during the campaign
last fall and they brought on a difficulty
between him and several white men,
during which he is charged with having
attempted to kill one of them.
Kennedy was brought to Athens for
safe keeping and luter on was carried to
Dnuielsville aud tried. He was convic
ted aud sentenced to serve four years in
the penitentiary.
Messrs. H. C. Tuck and S. J. Tribble,
counsel for Kennedy, carried the ease to
the Supreme court, aud that, tribunal
grunted a new trial to the negro.
He will now be given his second trial
on the charge against him.
the clever merchants of Athens, had the
spring bricked up and properly protected
against surface water, and since then
the number of people who have used the
water there has largely increased.
Mr. Robert Smith, of Huntsville, Ala.,
came to Athens several weeks since to
visit his brorher, Mr. S. F. Smith, of the
firm of Smith & Henderson.
Mr. Smith was in very bad health,
suffering from nervous indigestion and a
geueral run-down condition of the sys
tem.
He began using the water from the
mineral spring and continued its nse
during his visit here. He left for his
home in Huntsville yesterday almost a
well man again.
The suggestion has been made by
many that the city secure the grounds
upon which the spring is located
aud make of it a nice attractive place.
It conltl be turned into a handsome little
jxirk and the many citizens who fre
quent the spring, as well as visitors who
use the water, will appreciate it very
much.
With proper attention and advertise
ment it could be made a popular lesort
for all people suffering from iudigestiou
or dyspepsia.
