An exchange in a neighboring town
contains an account of a sad affair. It
says that a certain man in that town,
wln> had never advertised, was found
dead under his counter where he had
been lying for two days. lie was acci
dently discovered by a small KH who
I went in to get a nickel elmnue 1. As he
never advertised, people had fo g itten
where Ins store was and hence unholy
i
happened to discover the corps until de
composition set in.
Carteraville Fr*e Press: “Mr W. II
Hood near town, lias m ide this year,

About three months ago, says the Co
lumbus Timeti, a little daughter of Mr.

life. A few day* ago he Jiought med
ical assistance, Mid the child was given
s me medicine which caused lier'to throw
up a button, which all the time bad been
lodged iu her throat. She began to ini- [
prove at once, and will seuti regain her
entire strength.
It will be remembered that a short
time ago we published an account of a
terrible beating inHictel by one Abe
Morrison, colord near Macon on his wife.
'The woman has since died, but no effort
has been made to arrest tbe murderer,
who it ie reported, i* somewhere in the
neighborhood of (’ocliran. A colored
man has written a letter to the Macon
Telegraph indignantly demanding that
Mormon be caught, trivd and hung.
Thif, he says, is the universal verdict
among the Macon negroes, and he con
cludes his letter as follows: “Hang him!

'The Savannah Weekly News of Nov

We are sometimes pleasantly asked to
pupii.shed certain little personal matters
and are told that such tilings Kelp t fill
lip the paper. Now, be it known that
an editor is never at a loss for matter with
which to fill a paper; his only dnicultv
is iTi deciding what to leave out. Our
table is always covered with exchanges,
and aj paper never goes fc to press '
without something being crowded out
that the editor desires. Even after
article are set up they aie often left out
because tlie paper is full. Never tell a
newspaper man to publish anything you i
wish to see in print under the plea that
he needs something to fill out his col
umns.—Merriwether Vindicator.
The, following truly remaikablo story
wo get from the Columbus Times:
“Rather a strange incident occurcd on
the plantation of Mr. O. C O’neal who
lives near Cataula dopot on tin Colum
bus and Rom* Railroad. While one ef
his hands was picking cotton a f*w days
ago a strange bird almost white with a
red head, dropped down, seemingly from
the clouds into"the basket into which the
negro v'as emptying cotton from his
wallet The bird was perfectly tame, and
made noeffort to get away. Tho ne
gro called Mr. O’Neal’s attention to, it
and he picked up the bird and carried
it home with him. For several days the
bird ran around the houeo and seemed
to be delighted with the children. As
O’neal started out f o the field one day
last week the bird jumped up on his
shoulder, and he carri*d it out with him
but while on his way the bird jumped
down on the ground, ran along in front
of him for a short distance, and then
suddenly flow up, and continued to fco
up and up in a short circle until it was
out of sight. He has heard nothing of
it since. Tliia bird was aean by some
of the most responsible citizens in that
neighborhood, who will testify to the
above facts.”
Atlanta has another sensation. The
Constitution says: “Thursday night an
okt negro woman; a resident of the ward
sent for officer Moss to come to her
hoiite as soon as possible. The officer
not being at home when the courier ar
rived, a message was left for him to
come to the old woman’s house as soon as
he canic in. This officer Moss did, and
upon his arrival there the old woman
slated that during the afternoon a negro
j mail had came U> her house withs bas
j ket, in which he stated was some 1 eof.
|and asked the old woman to allow the
basket to rematn in Ir r ht:si until he
went up town and came back. While
the man was gone the old woman was
stiddentlv seized with a terrific attack
of cmiost v to see what kind of beef there
was in the basket. So she took the cov
er ill", and much to htr horror and
astoiii.slinie.it, there was, beneath a cloth
Coveting, the body of a negro child, (hat
appearances led her to believe tbe child
1 i': '
hud been dead several hours. The old
[Woman place the cloth bade over the
t body and replaced the cover of the lias
I kot. She then sent for officer Moss
to conic to liei at once, intending to
have the negro arrested if lie came
back after the basket.
While t lie mesaenger wan away, tbe ne
gro came after his basket. She engaged
the negro iu conversation hoping each
moment to hear the footstep* of the offi
cer upon his arrival. The messengar tc
turued and stated that the party was not
in. The old woman then told the negro
that sh#had . xaminad the contents of
the basket during bis absence and knew
what was therein, and asked him what
he was going to do with the body. The
man staled that as soon a* night came
on he intended to take the remains to
the cemetery and bury them. 'l’He old
woman stated to the negro that he cotihl
not do that as the keeper would not al
low him to in intci tin remains there
without a cart.heate of some sort, and
without the permissi in of the keeper he
could not get access to the grounds, as
the gate* wore always kept, locked after
dark. The negro took hi* basket and
left, requeuing the old woman not to
give him away to the police, which she
lias not been able to do from the fact,
that she had never oeii the negro before
and did not know who he was.”

The furnace at this plate was sold
’ast Tuesday. Great interest was man
ifested by our citizens, and everybody
was anxious to hear how “the thing

Excitement ran high at the furnace,
and after the abovlk dispatch was re
ceived the about getting
up a “jollification,” which took place
at night. All Ihe hands, both white
and black, assented together and cele
brated the event by the sho ting of guns
and pistols, building large ben fires,
throwing turpentine balls, it?.
arrived at the furnace we
found Messrs. Reece, Alley, McDonald
and Costello, the prime movers in the
affair, busily engaged in getting things
in shape.
The “stag” dance was a very enjoy
able affair, and extremely funny. The
dancing by the colored men was good.
Dick ’Thompson, in his jig, “brought
down the house.” Il was a very pleas
ant affair.
At this writing we do not know the
particulars of the sale further than that
Mr. Warner bid tlie furnace olf at $1 JO,-

We are glad this question is settled,
for we believe substantial improvements
will now be made.
