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.

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.

Savannah G.a., Remember the Savannah Weekly News is one of the best Weeklies iu the State. 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.” SILD. Tle Rising Fawn Iron Fur nace VRlcd a! Lust. *l, C’. Warm r, 3*nrt ha ;er -A .loUiliGUidn, 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 went.” Mr. J.G. Warner, of Nash ville, wan the purchaser. Great anxi ety prevailed among some of “the hoys” B ll><-. I'ornaiU!. and wlien the f. Uoivinjr telegram was revived it caused^ rejoicing. Atlanta. Dec. 2. L. S. Cot.yak. Rising Fawn. 1 have bought the Furnace; will be there iu a day y so. J AS. C. \Y AIIXIII. 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,- 000. We are glad this question is settled, for we believe substantial improvements will now be made.
