Iy large stack or patent CRATE bars,
actually burns wet tan, apparently,
Just as we'll as though the fuel was
dry pine. A few shavings or pine
spIinters are used to kindle a fire,
and then wet tan is thrown in slowly
for ten minutes, after which steam is
kept up to 20 pounds without the
slightest trouble, and not dollars
worth of fuel has been used in a
year. The bark is finely ground
This is rather remark able "Keely
motor" and shows what good mans
ager, like our friend, J. B. Glover,
can do, in utilizing this tan to a good
advantage. He is safe and ener-
getic business man at any thing

gave their first performance at Nc
Cutcheon's Hall last Friday night to
large audience. For amateurs,

- GEORGIA, unwilling to be out
done by the shower of meat from the
skies in Kentucky, of which we in
formed the readers of the JOURNAL
last week, has now eclipsed that
meat-eoric affair Grassy Pond, a
lake, in Lowndes county, covering
five acres, on last Friday emptied
itself of all its water by a subter-
ranean passage, and left millions of
fish upon the dry land. The farm
ers hitched up their teams and haul
ed them off in wagons and fertillzed
their farms with them, unable to dis
pose of the vast quantity in any 9TH
err way. For fear some of our Cobb
county darkies may want to emigrate
to Lowndss, we will state that since,
the water has returned to the lake
