HURRAH FOR GEORGIA A miiw MINISTER niRCOHSRS AN KMBCTRIC OR GALVANIC SHAFT ON HIS FARM —ITS WONDEKFL'E POWE It*. Atlanta Journal: Hearing so much of the electric shaft on the farm of Rev. A. L. Hillman Taliaferro county, Georgia, I came down to see for myself this wonderful freak of nature. As already stated, Mr. Hillman accidently discovered the healing properties of the shaft while dig ging for an alum spring. Since then Mr. Hillman and a good many others have been cured of lheumatism, some of the cases being very severe ones. I saw several while here under treat ment. One of the cases I will mention. Annie Davis, of Washington, Wilkes county, was taken out <>l bed and brought here. She bad a tearful case of intlamatory rlicu matisin ; so fearful was its effects she became spotted, and her friends thought she would die on the road. She said Mr. Hill gave her morphine and different opiates and nothing induced sleep or rest. The first night sho came and drank the waler she rested better and slept more than she bail for weeks. She said she iclt better in the shaft than anywhere else. She improved rapidly, can now walk about ami is nearly well, ami will in a few days return home a well woman. She could scarcely cat or digest a mouthful when she eatne. The wait r gave her a splendid appetite ami she can now eat and drink what she pleases. 1 1 saw several other cases cured and being cured that seemed almost too miraculous to believe. 1 hare been a sufferer from nervous indigestion for yens, and can gladly eay that 1 have been more beuetitled from this wonderful shaft ni*d water th in from anything else. Il is a gram) remedy for the nerves ami kidneys. Ihe shaft is nicely housed and the Ncenry around is beautiful and is a grand location for a resort. Mr. llill- Wiui will build a hotel mar it, and is outin' lookout for an entepris ing hotel man to take charge ol it. Afore anon. An. anti an. Sharon, Ga, Nov 13. P. S—There were 2'32 visitors nt the shaft to-day, many from the city. One gentleman said he would give Mr. Hillman SIB,OOO for the shaft; others tadmitted much higher. Ono great feature of the shall is that patients who arc not able to sit up elsewhere can sit up there, being so much strengthened by the electricity in the shaft.

Batchelor, of the 29th district, was in our office a few days since and told us of a remarkable oc currence that happened to him while digging a well on the old Mills place, some ten or eleven miles below Blakely. Ai t going down some distance into the earth he dug into a lar; lime sink which was so deep and dark that he could not tell anything about where he was, so he had himself dtawn up from the well aid ob.ained a lantern and matches. He was then lowered into the well again and commenced ex ( ploring. About thirty-five yards, in a westerly direction, he came to a large stream running northwest. As he leaned foi ward to gaze into its watery depths, a piece of dirt fell from overhead and knocked his lint, which wi s a straw one. into the water, and he was unable Ito get it out. Four days after he leiirhed that a straw hat had been found in the river, at the mouth of Sowhutchee creek, ten miles be low where his adventure oc< urred. Upon learning this he went down where the bat was foiimland it was his hat that he had lost in the sub terranean stream. Dan says that he don’t ask the public to believe bis story without confirmation, but refers them to Mr. R. Houston,foi | whom he was digging the well.

HOW TO GAUGE A TOWN- We have seen nothing truer than this article from the Richmond Whig, on “Newspapers as an index of a city's progress It is a true bill. Read it. “ When we glance over the col umns of a newspaper from a city which we have never seen, and see its advertising columns filled with fresh and attractive advertisements lot furnaces, foundries, machine ' shops, manufa turing establish ments, wholesale and retail stores, hotels, etc., we immediately say Ito ourselves, if we do not say it i aloud That must be a very live- j i ly town and business must be in a! | very nourishing condition there. Moreover its inhabitants must I e an enterprising progressive, go ahead people. That is no doubt a good place to live’and if we! happen to bo thinking about changing our location, our minds arc at once directed to that city as a desirable place to locale Indications of thrift and prosperity make a favorable impression upon every one, and in settling down to business every thrifty enterprising man is attracted to a community where those character iatics predominate."

New Turk World: Here are I two questions which wo should! like the supporters of Mr. George’s land theory to sonsider: First—ls “the value which at taches to the surface of the earth by reason of the growth of popu lation belongs to society at lar<’c,” as they utlirm, does not society at ! large owe compensation to thos< whose land suffers a deci ease in ! value by a loss <>f population ? Second—ls “society :.t larze, ’; represented by the Go\ erntn -nt. sells its natual right t > the soil foi f 1.25 an acre to a poor but industrious settler as the greato’l part ot the Western lands have been sold—mid that settler, after working hard tor twenty years, mole or less, finds that the “growth of population” has ovei-! taken him and enhanced the value of his purchase, would it lie fair for “society at large ’ to insist upon gobbling up his protits from the fee which it conveyed to him absolutely ?
