The hunter ami turpentine men
along the lino of road, generally are
quite vigorously complaining at the
present time of the inadequate sup¬
ply of cars furnished by the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad for the transportation of
their products.

Rev. Henry Nowton now lives at
jV/ontezuma. His maternal ancestor.
Asa Strong, brought the first grain
cradle to Georgia that was ever seen
in the State. It is said that people
went for miles to see his negroes use
it. It was a greater show than the
reaper proved to he many years later.

A full-blooded Indian paraded the
streets of Gainesville last Saturday.
He wore a kind of moccasin on his
feet, a blood red blanket thrown ov¬
er his shoulders reaching nearly to
the ground, and a tall feather in the
back of his head. His costume was
grotesque in the extreme. He was a
chief, and is said to have been a
warm friend to the lamented Gen.
Custer.

The Baxley Banner puts it thus:
“Some people seem to think that the
editor of a country newspaper ought
to be a sort of a clown, give open air
performances in the streets, tell long
yarns, say smart things, laugh at all
he sees and hears, and he a sort of
center figure every where lie goes. In
other words, he must be a regular
hdotlicker, think just like you do,
nod his sanction to all you ssy, hog
every one lie meets to take his little
paper, play the hypocrite ir< a thous¬
and ways and live on the wind.”

Jack Franklin, ah old colored por¬
ter in a Louisville tobacco warehous,
was sent into the cellar to remove a
pile of dirt that had been long accu¬
mulating. While at work he picked
up a battered army canteen, very
heavy. 11c broke it open, and found
$362,50 in nickles, dimes, paper
quarter and half dollars, gold dollars
aiyl $5 gold pieces. No one knows
whoso the money is ahd the old man
is richer than ho over expected to be.

Thomas F. Moore, one of Lake
Jackson’s- farmer, cut up his lands
last year into six onohorse farms. One
lie cultivated himself, put on fcvfili*
zet-s and worked it with system. The
result was twelve hales of lint cotton
besides other crops. The five colored
tenants ,whe leased the other five
farms scratched over tlieir lands as
tisuel without fertilizers or system,
and all combined only made ten hales
of cotten. This is the secret of hard
times among the colored people.

A rumor by way of Atlanta is to
the effect that Senator Joseph E.
Brown has disposed of his interest in
the lease of the Western and Atlan¬
tic railroad to his son, Mr. Joseph
M. Brown. The Senator, the rumor
ooiitinues, is much alarmed about his
health, and finds it necessary to withi
draw- from active business. The ru¬
mor will doubtless cause renewed
speculation as to the probability of
the Senator’s withdrawing from pol¬
itics. It goes without saying that
in the neighborhood of Atlanta the
anxious scat is already filled with
patriots who wouldn’t mind spend>
ing a season or two at Washington.
-Excelsior Pioneer Eagle; Reids
viile. Tatnall county, has a genuine
eonsation. Sometime ago it leaked
out that Col. Isaih Beasley, a prom¬
inent lawyer of Reidsville, had been
living criminally with Mrs. J. II.
Padgett for some years past. Mrs.
Padgett acknowledged her guilt to
lier husband, and he forgave her. He
then made prepnrationa to leave
Reidsville, offering his interest in
the Enterprise and his tools for sale,
hut while he was making prepara¬
tions to go, Col. Beasley and Mrs.
Padgett were also making prepara¬
tions to go away, and arranged an
elcpeiuent for Friday night last. Mr.
Padgett, however, heard about the
scheme, and arranged a counter
“elopement” for Tliursdry night, at
which time he left Reidsville with
his wife and three of his children,
leaving three more at home. He took
the youngest children with him. It
in, said ho went to Cartersvilie, in
this State.

A few days ago Martha Johnson,
a negro woman living in the vicinity
of Findlay’s foundry, found that her
foot had been scratched by a broken
brass eyelet of her shoe. Yesterday
the foot was badly swollen and now
it is thought that she may yet die
from the effects of the poison.
From the Sparta Ishmaclite.
The member of the agricultural
club that receives no benefit from its
meetings will always find that the
fault lies within himself.
The Ishmaclite regrets to learn
that the smoke house of Mr. S. L.
Pattillo was burned on Monday night
lie saved most of his meat—the fire
being detected before it was too far
under way to admit of entrance from
without.
John Lewis reports that the fall
oats sowed by him in furrows are
green and flourishing, wnile those
plowed in broadcast or on a level
were almost all killed. There is in
these facts something to engage the
consideration of farmers.
The people who fought to make all
the labor in this country “fiee” are
going to conclude, before many years
that they overdid the job, and that,
as compared with Southern labor,
they are relatively no better off than
before the war.

They Were Frightened if Not
Punished.
The United States District Court
has had quite a number of alleged
violators of the Internal Revenue
laws brought to its consideration this
term. In most of the instances the
violations consisted in the retailing
of certain hitters said to he compoun¬
ded for the relief of stomach disor¬
ders. These hitters were said to con¬
tain a large per cent, of alcohol, and
were really strong liquor with the ex¬
tract of a few roots or herbs tin own
in to give it a medicinal character.
All the parties tried before the jury
were acquitted on the ground main¬
ly that they sold tho goods believing
them, to he legitimate medicine, al¬
though witnessess testified that “they
caused a drunk as quickly and as po¬
tently as any kind of liquor would.”
Some of the parties paid the specific
tax and others will. Some plead guil¬
ty and had their sentences suspend¬
ed. Now all these bitters were sold
in dry counties, such as Camden,
Tattnall, Bullock and Worth, and
show how easy it is to evade the law
and how readily man can get as
drunk off of medicine. Since the
counties mentioned went dry, Ja¬
maica ginger lias had an unusuully
good sale, and as th:.t a tide of dc«
mestio use contains a largo per cent
of alcohol and will produce the mean
est kind of a drunk, dealers in it
were arrested on account of not tak¬
ing out a special license to sell li¬
quor. Cheiry bitters and the Jama¬
ica ginger will not be sold hereafter
in the dry counties unless the par*
ties disposing of it take out a license
and if others do that, the local au¬
thorities will be after them, lienee,
between the Government and the
prohibition . element those thirsty
and bibulous parties have to swear
off or import their liquors.
The Augusta Fire
The beautiful new Masonic thea¬
ter, in which Augusta took pride,
together with the Globe hotel and
thirteen stores adjoining, were burn¬
ed to the ground on the night of the
12th. The loss on the building and
goods in stock will amount to about
$200,000 in round numbers, it being
the largest and most destructive con¬
flagration which has ever visited Au¬
gusta.
Concealed in the Carcass of a Dead
Horse.
Louisville, Ky., Fob. 9.—A most
horrible discovery was made in
Creene county, this State, last Satur¬
day. The dead body of John Keeth
was found wrapped in a blanket and
concealed inside the carcass of a
dead horse. It is supposed that he
was murdered and his body conceal¬
ed there by the murderer. Keeth was
a Jhrother-in-law of Wm. DeSpain.
He had been missing for several dayB
but no search had been made for
him—his friends supposing that he
was away on a visit—until a dog be¬
longing to Wm. DeSpain came into
the house on Saturday morning car¬
rying something in his mouth, which,
when examined, was found to be the
hand of a man. Mr. DeSpain track¬
ed the dog to the carcass of an old
horse, and was horrified to find the
body of his brother-in-law therein,
half eaten up by dogs. It was a hor¬
rible sight. The mystery connected
with the affair will probably never
be solved. Keeth was a married man
and the father of six children.
