Q, 0. PEA VY, Proprietor
APRIL 7, 1885?
In the humbkst business, as well
ain the very highest aims of life,
success pTsctictmy depends on ths
exercise of the moral quite as much
as on that of the intellectual faculties.
Know'edg by itself is only a small
power. It is character that converts
it into a great power. Character is to
knowledge just what interest is to
money. It is the animating force that
renders it productive.
Miss Bettie Daiel, of Franklin,
Heard county, was born blind, and
for nineteen years did not nee. She
went to Atlanta six weeks ago for
treatment, and her sight has been
restored to such aa extent that she
Can walk about the city and see
the houses, horses, carriages, people,
etc.
A good joke is told on a Sheriff
of a South Georgia county, who
went out in the country to “level”
on a mule, but being told that ths
mule’s great age exempted him
from a levy, Sheriff retraced steps
to town, a distance of nine miles, to
examingthe code in reference there
to. He fousd that a mule’s age
was no bar to a levy and went back
and found that the mule was non
esi, the owner having availed him
self of the interim in running the
mule oft.

John Barker, of Rockdale district.
Franklin county, happened to a
serious accident last Thursday night
which will disable him for work for
several monlbs. Di ling the day some
miscreant set fire to a piece of woods
that bad not been burnt for a num
ber cf years, Ths leaves being dry
and the day windy, the fire spread
rapidly, catching io bis fence and
deeroying about 2,500 rails. After
dark, seeing a large stump burning
which be thought might do some
damage to another fence-row which
through great labor he had rescued
thus far from the raging the, he went
to cut it down. The stump had almost
burned in twain at the top, and aa he
began cutting it fell off. Before he
could g'*t out of the way he was
struck bj the telling piece of limber
and knocked to the ground with a
broken thigh. Ho had indeed a mirac
ulous escape. The chunk came so near

XvBTU llopt, N. Y„ March 26.
A very peculiar case of suspended
animation and abs'iaence fmm food
for a period of twenty-eight days in
Marion township, this county, is ex
citing great interest. A little daugh
ter of Joseph Renner was taken sud
denly ill with colic, and the pain was
so severe that she went into spasms.
The father went after a doctor, but
the child was to all appearances dead
before the physician arrived. Th«
heart had cea-ed to beat, the pu’se
was extinct and respiration had
ceased. It was noticed, however, in
two or three hours after the child died
that the skin did not take on that
peculiar pallor noticeable on most
dead people. The child looked as
though she was sleeping, though the
ductor pronounced her dead. The
body was kept for two days, and dur
ing that time the skin retained a nat
ural color, but no other signs < f
vitality weie manifested. Th-n the
friends commenced discussing the
propriety of burying her.
While the discussion was going on
some one went into the room where
tbeebild was lying, and looking at’
the corpse for a moment put bis
fingers on the pulse and was surprised
to teel a feeble flutterin . The pu’se
beat slowly, t ut it indiunled that life
was there, and meat s were xt one
need to fan tbcvltal spark in o
The hr. was again called and re
storatives applied. Although reepi -
alion returned and the aeii n of lh»
heart incr ayet w • i» »sno s
did hot return to the girl, and all
eflorta to restore her w«ru fr i leas.
Sue remained iu tbie «Ute of lorpi ii y

o the ‘.wuuty-aiath day she opened
h»r eyes and feebly asked for adtiak
of waler. From that time on she

HYDROPHOBIA!
News reached town last Monday
■ mornuig that a little child ot Mr.
’ M. V. Jordan living some five or
; six miles ea-t of here, had dev'.l-
I oped a case of hydrophobia. The
• subject was the general theme of
i conversation throughout the duy on
' the sheets and much sympathy
was expressed for Mr. Jordan, who
is one of our best known and most
substantial farmers.
From various sour es we have
» been able to glean the following facts
• in reference to the case: The child
. was a little boy about seven years of
’ age and was bitten in a number of
I I places by a little terrier dog, that
, showed signs of madness, s me
I seventy da; s ago, but it was not
i until last Friday night that the child
> itself showed any signs of hydrop-
• hobia. During that night it called
’ for water, but when water was pres-
euted, it showed an u ter aversion
1 to it, going into convulsions. It con-
I tinned after this to have convulsions
( death, Monday night, about 1 o’-
. deck.
( | Before it died, Dr. Tidwell of
s Fairburn, who claims to have a
' madstone was sent for. He came in
on Monday evening’s train and
’ w nt ent immediatly to Mr. Jordan’s,
i arriving there about 7 o’clock; The
’ stone was immediaily applied and
i 1 we understand adhered to the
I I wounded surface. But if there was
i any virtue in it, it was too late lor
its application, as the child was un
i doubtedly dying at the tinv, as it
lived but a few hours after this.—
. Carroll County Times.
I Bristol. Conn., March 27.
i Thirty-one years ago Edward Deegan
son of Pattick Deegan, of this place,
: disappeared while in Boston, and
all inquiries brought no tidings.
Eightytars later, while Mr. Deegan
[ hoeing back ot the rollingmill, a
young man came into the field and
the old man asked where he came
; from. The supposed stranger said :
j’’Father, don’t you know tre?” The
| lad had been iu the regu’ar armv,
I and saved from his earnings SSOO,
which he wished his father to accept,
but the latter declined. The son again
disappeared 23 years ago, and from
that time no traces were obtained
until last week, and the f ilher, now
74 years ol , had considered him
dead.
A letter, dated Philadelphia,
March 10, was received by a priest
to-day. It read : ”1 wish to inquire if
Patrick Deegan, his' wife and son,
are buried in Bristol. I am their son,
and if they are dead—as I have long
supposed them—and there are no
gravestones, I w >uld like to place one
over each grave, such as my means
will permit.” A U tter was at once
sent to the son in Philadelphia, in
forming him that his father and
brother still survive, anxiously await
ing to welcome him home.
