The mumps are having a thorough camp meeting time of it in the Tal bot valley. Dr. Long, of Newnan, has a gold pen which has been in constant use ! since 1844. Robert, eldest son of Mrs. S. F. Stephens, of LaGrange, was drowned in Flint river, near Albany, on Sun day. The Americus Recorder reports that Mr. Skelton Napier killed Mr. John Story near Montezuma on Sun day last. The Columbus Times states: “From various exchanges we learn there is a great mortality among horses and mules in Georgia.” The ninth annual Schuetzenfest of the Deutscher Schuetzen Club of Augusta, will be celebrated next Tuesday and Wednesday on the platz, near that city. In Dawson county the trial of Jos. England for the murder of Bud Bot tom occupied the court three days, and ended by England being sen tenced to the penitentiary for life. A calico war is raging among the storekeepers of LaGrange, and now the lassies pay but four cents when they formerly paid double that amount per yard for a dress pattern. The Augusta News is responsible for the following two items : “ At lanta is the favorite place for lovers, because it is the Gate City. A Macon policeman has-qusO been for catching a*severe cold.” It is not at all probable that Allen Blackwell, who was convicted of murder at Elberton, will get a new trial, and if his case is not carried to the Supreme Court, he will be exe cuted privately on the 13th of May. The new college at Lumpkin is one story in height, of the gothic style of architecture with a bell tower, a chapel 30x60 feet, with wings on each side. It is in charge of Capt. A. H. Flewellen, and has eighty-one pupils. It is reported from Harris county that two hundred and seventy-five mortgages, covering amounts vary ing from twenty to two thousand dollars, have been recorded. The average of these mortgages will not fall short of one hundred dollars each, showing that the aggregate amount of these mortgages will reach, or ex ceed, thirty thousand dollars. As hundreds of mortgages have not been recorded, and as the cotton crop is yet unplanted, we can but regard this as an index of a bad state of affairs. The Athens Watchman reports that Mr. W. T. Patman, of Ogle thorpe county, brought to that office on Saturday a sample of cotton which very closely resembles wool, and which he says was grown in that county by Mr. Burnett Salmon. A daughter of Mr. S. some two years ago, while in Charleston, went on board a vessel which had just ar rived from Zanzibar, on the coast of Africa, and while on the boat picked up some singular looking seeds from the floor and brought them home, where they were planted, and pro duced this wonderful imitation of wool. The seed were all saved, and again planted this year, when a con siderable quantity was raised. Some of this cotton was ginned by Mr* Patman, who says it will yield one pound of lint to every pound and a half of raw cotton. It is to be equally as valuable as wool, and produces as well as ordinary cotton. The seed are very small in size. Mr. Salmon will sell the seed in small quantities.
