W. MoBLEY. R ”TW‘W?”@ b The thred prisonkrs in our county Jail herec made their es cape on Sunday night last about 9 o’clock, but they were all Jand ed back in their accustomed cells soon after leaving the jail. Jones, the negro who was con victed a few weeks ago for burg lary and received a sentence, of one year on 'the chain.gang, had ’zotten hold of a key-hole .saw someway and sawed a hole in the floor of his cell sufficent for him to crawl through. Then' he as gisted carry miller, the negro wo man who is confined there charg: ed with murdering another ne gro woman on Christmas night out at Gulf. Then, he helped John Henry, another negro man get out. These two absolutely refused to leave. They left the }ail all right enough, but went to udge Williams’ home ;and noti fied him what had occurred, and had him to phone for Sheriff El lis. The Sheriff was soon on hand and he and the night Mar shal seon had Jones landed back in jail. They found him at Ida Hall’s house under the bed. His wife was staying with this Hall woman, and of course, this was the first place he made for after leaving the jail, and the officers knew this, hence théy captured him without much trouble. Jones’ attorney has applied for anew trial for “him, and this is why.he hasn’t; been sent to the chain-gang. i The Pig Weighed 538 Lbs, Mr. T. H. Weatherly seems to be a very successful stock-rai ser as well as a prince merchant.

Herrington our obliging clerk of the Superior Gourt, had to set up the cigars to séveral friends. It capie about this' way. Messrs. Herrington, Weatherly, John Hinsox;l', Jesse Granger, and Mounroe Hinson, got to guess ing at the weight of the hog be fore it was slaughtered, and the rule was, thé one who came far thest from the actual weight of this Red Jersey shoat had to treat to the -cigars, and our clerk lost .out. ' Capt. Touchton Improv ing. A few days ago, just after the G. & F. passenger train had left the depot at Madison bound for Hazlehurst, Capt. Touchton, the popular conductor on this train, happened to quite & painful acci dent which has laid him up for several days.

A Wheat Hospital. g “This wheat has been through the hospital,” said a miller. “I can tell by tle fine polish on the grains, Wheat that has been through the hospital for smut ‘disease comes out betfer than well wheat.” ‘ The wheat grains, in truth, shone 8¢ that one could almost see one’s face in them. ! . *“You can see your face In them, can't you?”’ sald the miller. “And no ‘wonder. They’ve been through drastic treatment—drastic, Smut is a nasty, Qisease, a kind of mold, that changes the starch and glpten in wheat to & black powder. When you see flour full of black specks it is a sign that some of the wheit was smutted. The cure Is first to wash the wheat thox oughly. Then you dry it. Then youw™ scour it, Then you dry it again Finally you brush it, Wheat hospitals —they are found in most grain ele vators nowadays—have big machines for washing, drying, scouring and brushing the grain, and wheat on its yery last legs comes out of those in firmaries as spruce and blooming as a football girl.”—Buffalo Express, . . An Astrologer’s Letter. . An astrologer’s letter to President Van Buren forecasting the results of his election in 1840 is in the ‘library of congress and perhaps gives a crude idea of some of the fallacies of, our grandfathers. The following are some extracts: “In this horoscope the as 'cendant directed to the semisquare of Mars would be in operation about the middle of the fourth year, October,) 1785, and might cause sickness, * * * flux or hurt by wounds,” ete. * * * “I have opened the horoscope for Gen eral Harrison, which accords with the chief events of his past life and which if right he will not fill the office of president during the next term even if elected. And the danger I appre hend to yourself is not from your pub lic opponents, but from those on whom you repose confldence.” fhose who are superstitious may be inclined to credit this star gazer with some meas ure of wisdom, for Harrison, although elected, died a month after his inaue guration.—New York Post. Lk AT e L W L L Home Loving Montenegrins. ¥ Nowhere is loye of country more ine tense than among the Montenegrins, to whom exile is the greatest of pun ishments, When W. J, Stillman was there in the seventies all the free men were away fighting, and he observed' that when 8 messenger was wanted the official took a man out of the priss on and sent him off, with no fear that he would not return. One such mes gsenger was sgent to Cattaro, In Aus trian territory, with a large sum of monay for the bank, and he duly came back. Another asked a Russian at Cattaro to intercede with Prince Nich olas for his release from prison. “But you are not in prison,” sald the Rus glan. “Oh,* said the man, “I have only come down for a load of sking for So-and-so, but I must go into pris on again when I get back to Cettinje.” One prison guard watched all the pris oners when they sunned themselves out of doors, and if he was called away a' prisoner would take his m and act as sentry for the tma, .. .- ,
