reports of the Advertisers state exchanges
concerning the fruit and field crops gener-
/ ally show that the last cold weather deN
stroyed nearly all the former, and where any

nous as well as disagreeable, we take leave

unpopular that at least the gentlemen of the

| persons who habitually go about the streets
| loaded with knives and pistols and BRASS
knuckles.

crop at large much good. 1t viii greatly
/ benefit corn and cotton, and bring out the

covered the whole of north Texas, extends

Point.

The Augusta News says it now seems
as if Georgia is to add another wonder to its
already lengthy and attractive list of natural
curiosities. Not content witl being the
mother of the greatest mountain rock on
earth, not stopping at the many springs
which in variety and attractiveness are
counted all over sthe state, nor hesitating
| still to act as the roadbed for the most bean
| tiful fall of water on this continent, and even
bOasting of some special attraction on every
acre of its soil, from the lofty peak of Ball
mountain to the sandy beach of Tybee, the
empire State now comes forward with what
may be called a natural wonder that has
| hitherto been confined to the sandy soil of
Arkansas or warmed the frozen zone Of Ice
land. Some excitement has been caused in
upper Georgia by the discovery, near the
AIRLINE road, the neighbOrhood of the great
| falls, of a stream of boiling water jutting
out of a solid rock and ascending fftY-two
feet in the air. A report Of this new discov.
cry comes from Athens, and it proves cor
rect In every particular. Georgia can eer-
tainly claim a great curiosity, and North
Georgia be more than usually popular this
! summer.
