The indications at present are good for
a rain and then cold weather, or at least,
the farmers with porkers to kill try to
think that way.,
Theie is less passing to the fair this
week than we ever knew before. Every
body finds it more convenient to go on the
cars, which accounts for so little passing
by private conveyance.
Mr. E. J. Hancock thinks that his colt,
Sallie Lou, would have taken.the premium

The election passed off quietly, which-is
no unusual thing, as Sandy Point is noted
for her quiet and orderly elections. There
were very few-negro votes polled. Those

Tate Springs, Tenn., July 4, 1888.
The Swift -Specific Co., Atlanta Ga.:
During the spring of 1871, while work¬
ing in the field at my home in Morgan
count}'. Ga., I pulled off my shoes to give
my feet rest. Unfortunately, I walked in¬
to a clump ot - poison oak, and in a few
days my feet were in a terrible condition,
and I could not put on a shoe because of
the soreness and swelling. I was trea,ed
as poison oak cases usually are, and every
thing was healed up. About the same
time, the following spring 1872 my feet
became sore again as at first, and at every
succeeding spring for five years brought
back the same condition of the disease
only each time it became more distressing,
because I began io think it was a life-time
trouble. Finally I was induced to try
Swift’s Specific. I took six bottles and to
day am entirely well. My improvement
was gradual from the first and no evidence
of the disease remains I shall take pleas
ure in testifying as to its curative proper¬
ties. It is the greatest blood purifier, in
existence. Yours truly, J I Morgan .

About Marrying Foreigners.
Another American girl, who married a
titled foreigner a few weeks ago, has fonnd
out that she would have done better if she
had married it» honest American gentle¬
man, even though he possesed neither blue
blond her wealth.
Less than a, month ago, Miss- Virginia
Knox, of Pittburg, Pa., married the Count
di Moutercoli, an Italian. It appears that
the count met her in Paris, where she was
being educated, and tell in love with her
money, although she didn’t have a great
deal of it. He followed her to America,
and spent a month at her home, There
was nothing very attractive about him. but
he was a count, and he represented him¬
self as being wealthy. The title and alleg¬
ed wealth turned the young woman’s head,
and she married a man of whom she knew
almost nothing. She had become a count¬
ess, and she rejoiced in the fact! and when,
on the eve of their departure from Nfew
York,, she was interviewed by the newspa¬
pers of that city, she--appeared to be about
the happiest woman in the country.
The other morning, in a Paris hotel,
where the couple were stopping on their
bridal tour, shrieks were heard to come
from the bridal chamber, and when the
proprietor of the hotel broke open the door
he found the young wife bruised and bleed¬
ing, engaged in a struggle wicn the count.
From her statement, it seems that she had
discovered that the story of her husband’ s
wealth was a cruel hoax, and that he ex¬
pected her to pay his bills. She refused
to do so, and he demonstrated his noble
birth by beating her. In their disgrace
they were turned out of the hotel, and it is
said than they resumed their journey to¬
ward Italy, where* she will probably lead
a miserable existence, unless her relatives ■
come to her rescue.—Savaunah t News.
Two horrible accidents occurred on St.
Simon’s island Saturday. A negro named
Johnson was cutting cane, and happened
to make a mislick and struck himself with j
the hatchet on the cheek and nearly ent
his jaw from his head. The other was
that of a negro woman who was gored in
the stomach by a cow. She was disem
toweled and will probably die.
At Camilla Friday night W. A. Howard
was disturbed by loud cursing in front of
his door. While he was reproving the
parties a shot was fired'at him which took
effect in his right arm and breast.
The largest damage suit disposed of at
this term of Henry county superior court
was James Edwards and wife vs. Henry
county fer $‘20,000 .for damages sustained

At Augusta, Friday night, a tramp took
an old gentleman from the rural districts
into a negro restaurant for the ostenriblo
purpose of putting him to bed. The old
gentleman bad an ovencoat and grip-sack.
In, the latter was $2-5. in currency. When
the two entered the restrant the coat and
gripsack were laid on the bed and the
trampled the old man in an adjoning room
to take a drink. While the latter was
drinking the liquor, tho tramp left him
and-returning to the room which they had
vacated, picked up tho coat and grip aud
made off with them.
