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 if hi bad entered her in time. She is a pretty animal "with a history.” She once spent a day in a well twenty or thirty feet deep. When-dug out she was found , to. .be 0*K.

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.

A, & F. KNOXVILLE, GEORGIA., NOV. 9, 1888 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 by being precipitated-from a bridge, Tho, county gained the case.

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.
