An ice factory is to be at once
.established in Rome, Ga.
The House has passed the bill
making Atlanta a port of delivery.
General Garfield has fixed next
Monday, February 28th, for his de¬
parture to Washington.
David Dudley Field is seventy-six
years old, and is said to be the oldest
New York lawyer in active prac¬
tice.
Frank Twiggs’ was hanged at
Waynesboro^on the 18th inst., for
complicity in the murder of William
Driscoll.
General Garfield tendered Colonel
John Hay, Assistant Secretary of
State, the position of private secre¬
tary, but he declined to accept.
The Legislature of North Carolina
lias passed a ltiil providing payment
for juries on an inquest over the
dead. This is right, and Georgia
might profit by the example.
Judge Hiram Warner is danger
ouslyjll in Atlanta. He is attended
by Drs. Miller and Westmoreland.
His physicians and family have given
up all hope of his recovery, and his
death is only a question of time.
Some are opposed to the passage
of the local option law by the Legis¬
lature. They contend that the pas¬
sage of this law would cause liquor
to be sold iu every section of Geor¬
gia where the negro vote predomi¬
nates.
The funeral of lion. Fernando
Wood took place from his late resi¬
dence in Washington on last Satur¬
day. BothJjhouscs of Congress ad¬
journed in respect to his memory
and to permit the members to attend
his funeral.
-“Some go to church just for a walk,
Some go there to laugh and talk.
Some go there for observation. speculation,
Some go there for
Some go there to meet a friend,
Some go there their time to spend.
Some the fashions to discover,
Some go there to meet a lover.
Some go there to sleep and nod,
A few go there to worship God.”
Mr. Charles Osborne, of Marietta,
and Mr. W. Branham Anderson, of
Covington, made arrangements to
,fight a duel at the cemetery, near
Atlanta; but a quietus was placed
upon the whole affair by the arrest
of Mr. Osborne and party last week,
who were put under bonds of fifteen
■hundred dollars each to keep the
peace.

The Bainbridge Democrat says
that Mr. G. II. Floyd, of Gadsden
county, Fla., who is over sixty years
of age, proposes to attend the next
,spring fair in that city, and will put
up a fifty dollar wager that he can
outrun any man in South-west Geor¬
gia a three mile heat. He is also
■willing to put up a ten dollar wager
that he can walk seven miles in an
hour, or run a mile in three minutes.
How often is it the “wet spell” and
the “dry spell” get the credit of bring¬
ing about short crops, when the
“lazy spell” and the “extravagant
spell“ had as much to do with the
short crop as the weather had. Ap¬
ply the remedy this year. Begin to
economize, hut don’t begin by stop¬
ping your p iper and feeding your

Mr Stephens has served longer in
i*he house than any other man. He
served «UXeen years before the war,
and on the fourth of next month he
will bring his total service up to
twenty-four years. Mr. Kelley comes
ntfxt having served twenty years
.continuously. Mr Randall has serv¬
ed eighteen years, and A/r. Garfield
would have served a similar length
of time if he had keept his seat to the
end of this congress. Ilad Fernando
Wood lived .to the fourth of A/arch
Jie, too, would have served eighteen
years.— Constitution,
A correspondent of the Chattano¬
oga Time*, writing from Coal City,
Ga., says: “Almost every day, in
passing headquarters of the Coal
Company, I notice a fine looking,
good humored man,whom the stripes,
the insignia of the prisoner, do
not become at all. It is Cox of the
Cox-AIston tragedy. All the cour¬
tesy that can be, under the circum¬
stances, is tendered Mr. Cox. Be
seems to look closely after the inter¬
ests of the company.

Audacious Lynchers.
A furious thunderstorm set in af¬
ter dark on Friday at Springfield,
Tennessee. A night session of the
court was called to conclude the * rial
of the La Prade murderers. The
jury were charged and the Sheriff re¬
tired with th<j prisoners towards the
jail. A mob of two hundred persons
crowded on the officers, took the
prisoners and hung them form the
second story windows of the court
house. The two who were released
on turning State’s evidence fled, and
are reported to have been lynched
near Guthrie, Kentucky. The Ten¬
nessee Senate has condemned the
mob’s action in strong terms.— Sav.

Mr. Garfield’s Mother.
“One of the attractions at the
White House will be General Gar¬
field’s aged and honored mother, sin
is past seventy-nine.”
We find the above paragraph go
ing tiie rounds of our exchanges, ami
it recalls to our mind the fact that no
longer ago than the year 1830 this
mother of a President was living in a
rough hewed log house with only
one room and a loft. The floor o'"
this room was of rude, thick plank¬
ing, split out of a tree log with a
maul and wedge. At one end of
this room was a large fire placv
around which the family were won.
to sit, and at which their scanty
meals were cooked. In this room
the President-elect was born, arid
his mother left a penniless widow
while he was yet a babe in her arms.
Ali ! who can picture her sorrow
and desolation, her hopes and fears
as day by day she fought against the
hardships of widowhood and pover¬
ty, and night after night placed ht r
younger children in the lowly trun¬
dle hod and sent the older ones up
the ladder to sleep just under the
hoard covered roof.
But what difficulties cannot b
overcome by the untiring love and
Heaven-trusting mother? So, not¬
withstanding her widowhood, wild
surroundings and the pressure of
debt, she managed by toil, economy
and an abiding trust in God, to rear
her children under her own immedi¬
ate care.
We will not follow the details of
these daily trials and persevering
toils, it is enough for our "present
purpose to show that she has seen
her youngest son rise from this hum¬
ble beginning to the highest office
within the gift of the people of our
country. It is wonderful to know
that she has seen this son toiling at
the carpenter’s bench in the winter,
on the farm in the summer and stop
by step acquiring manhood and
means to fit himself for the first place
in the society of the world.
What a wonderful exemplification
of that poet’s statement that “honor
and shame from no condition rise,
act well your part, there all the hon¬
or lies." From the log cabin in the
wilderness to the great mansion in
the city of Washington. Verily,
truth is stranger than fiction, and a
persevering son upon whose head
blessings are drawn down from heav¬
en, by a wise and prayerful mother,
can conquer all difficulties.— Griffin
Sun.
LOOK OUT FOR IT.
But Don’t Become Excited—The
Star of Bethlehem.
Prof. C. A. Grimmer, of Kingston,
Jamaica, who is a scientist of fame,
recently made some wonderful proph¬
ecies in connection with the action
of the planets and other heavenly
bodies. lie says of the“Star of Beth¬
lehem”; will be once more seen in
“Casseopia’s chart,” ami it will be
accompanied by a total eclipse of
the sun and moon—The star only
makes its appearance every 315 years.
It will appear and illumine the bcav
ens and exceed in brilliancy even
Jupiter when in opposition to the sun,
and, therefore, nearer to the earth
and brightest. The marvelous brill¬
iancy of the “Star of Bethlehem”
in 1887 will surpass any of its previ¬
ous visitations. It will be seen even
by noonday, shining with a quick,
flashing light the entire year, after
which it will grandually decrease in
brightness and finally disappear, not
to return to our heavens till 2202 or
315 years after 1887. This star
first attracted the attention of mod¬
ern astronomers in the year 1575. It
was then called a new star. It was
no new star, however, for this was
the star that shone so brightly 4 B. €.,
and was the star that illuminated the
heavens at the nativity of Christ. It
lias reappeared every 315 years since,
and every educated astrologer is
certain that it will reappear in
August, 1887. 'i’iie appearance of
this star, accompanied as it will be
by solar and lunar eclipses, together
with the baneful influence that fol¬
lows the position that A/ars and
Saturn will occupy, will cause a
universal war and portentous flood
and fearful shipwrecks. North
America will be involved in civil
strife, and a reign of terror will pre¬
vail in the Atlantic States, unless a
Napoleon arises to quell it. There
will be a war of classes—the rich
will array themselves against the
poor, and vice rerun, every where.—
