Gainesville to Atlanta. Fourteen miles have
lust been purchased and will be used on the
sharpest curves. This will cover within nine
miles Of halt the distance. This road is in
such excellent condition, however, that the
critical traveller will hardly realize that the
track is not all steel. Ii may be put in your
pipe and smoked that by 1880 the time be-
tween the capitals of Tennessee and Georgia
ria Chattanooga, distance of two hundred
aad eiRhty-uine miles, with plenty of time
for good meals, and all other necessary stops,
Will not exceed nine hours. When it Is re-
duced year later to eight hours the cars will
be crowded more than ever.
The modern accomplishments acquired
by young ladies' are happily taken of IN the
following stanz3s:
musical maiden named Anna
Attempted the Star Spansled Bannah;
She played in sharp
Till she tore through her harp,
Then in six fats attacked the piannah.
." A cooking-class graduate, Bess,
Once connected a horrible mess;
She stewed pickles with yams,
And put yeast I'm her CLAIMS,
And her friends all went wild with distress.
A charming young dancer named Carrie
She cut such strange freaks
At Marines and BOuTnique's,
That she got an engagement at Paree"
Last evening a fracas occurred on the
Attorney General G. ?. NJ. Turner and Mr.
CALVIN, formerly connected with the EUening
Press. of this city Mr.. Calvin arrived here
from Nashville yesterday, and meeting Mr..
Turner, a conversation commenced with ref
erence to Mr. Turner's visit TO Nashville
when the legislature was considering cuttll z
down salaries of county officers. Mr.. Turner
said something about the charge of briblng
the legislature, which Mr.. Calvin denounced
as a lie, whereupon Mr.. Turner struck Mr..
Calvin over the head with heavy cane.
The Iolice arrested Mr.. Turner on the charge
of assault and battery, but he was released
from custody, Chief Athy going responsible
on the docket for his appearance before Pres
ident Porter this morning, to answer the
deeds done on the body and with a stick.

building 2l1 Main street, which is occupied
on that third story as photograph gallery

flowers, birds, cages and bird goods. The

were on hand, and soon extingulshed the
flames The water damaged the stock Of
Mrs. Brown considerably. Her photograph
gallery was insured for one thousand dollars
in the Commonwealth company of Boston
Mr.. Scherer, who resided in the second story,
had an insurance Of fifteen hundred dollars in
the Queens, OF London, on his furniture, and
one of FIVE hundred dollars IN the Lon

COMMUNICATING ConkIing

The Narraganset correspondent OF
the Washington Capital closes a gossip
by sketch of the Sprague-Conkling do
nestle comedy with the following en-
dearing comments upon Roscoe;
I do not care to follow the gracious
and graceful queen of my admiration
the most accomplished, winning, sweet
woman God ever created to fascinate
civilized humanity-driven to the deg.
radiation of having her name connected
with such mass of disgusting egotism
as Roscoe Conkling. Here is q man Of
such inordinate vanity that he drove
his chariot, with his victim chained to
it, not only in the public arena. but over
his own wife and daughter. New York
is welcome to him. 1t Can heap hon
ors on o man who took the lie from
Lamar without resentment, and is now
chased from the house of man he has
rendered an object of scorn and con
tempt, from the side of the wife and
mother who gave her all to him, by a
shotgun, as if he were a NANCY dog.
Inell, 10 Dlhht IL Iutbb, CONuluiy u1i'AA
the more pitiable, we have string OF
shallow lies fabricated about poor
devil of German professor. That he
was telegraphed for from Providence,
and paid to lie by the column, is known
to every man, woman and child on the
coast No less is the fact known that
this infatuated old fool came to the
Pier in yacht, SO as to escape notice,
and stole into Sprague's house while
the owner was away. 1t was the unex-
pected return that exploded the mine,
but the servants had made the facts
known to the Pier days before.
1t twas said by the more knowing ones
in Washington last winter that when
Conkling's conduct camo to the cars OF
Sprague there would be trouble. Will
liam is an ugly little customer, and he
must have become demoralized by dis
sipation not to have killed Conkling on
sight. He will yet, if that gentleman
does not keep considerable territory
between them.

THE HEBRON PICNIC.

Owing to the crowded state of our colN
uns, it will be impossible for our reporter
to give THY thing like a lengthy report of
the Hebron picnic, which took place u
miles southeast of Brandon, last Wednes-
day. Let it be said, however, that it was
success. But then it could not have
been any thing but success in that cute
neghbornood. A goodly number OF peo-
ple from Brandon and other vicinit.es,
consisting largely of handsome young gen
tlemen and brilliant and accomplished
Young ladies who had an elegant time dan
cling, playing croquet, and chatting. 1t
is safe to say that there were from three to
four hundred persons present, and as
basket dinner it can't be beaten.
til o'clock Capt. Put Darden began to
speak in the church. He spoke nearly
two hours. Capt. Darden gave the talm-
ers some very good advice, but his on
slaught and wanton attack upon the po-
ltical press and professional NEIL es-
pecially the legal fraternity--was consider
cd out of place and very uAtimely. His
sentiments in this particular were disowned
by some of the most intelligent and infiu-
entail members of tho Grange. They did
not endorse or sanction that part of his
speech at ALL Capt. Darden was followed
by Mr.. Carver, representing the firm of
Temple s. Coon 4 Co., of New Orleans,
after which they went on with the music,
and danced until late in the evening. Then
they agreed to an intermissin with the I'M
Outstanding that those who felt disposed
should repair to the residence of DIR. Gum
and resume. Judging from the number
that went out from Brandon after supper
we imagine quite crowd was present
and nice time had.
Politics in Rankin are placid, 1t is
thought that the regulars VIII sweep the
county by majority of three hundred.
The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1879-08-23

On the fourth page of The COMET,
to-day, appears what purports to be an ex-
tract from letter written by Dr. II. p.
Atkins, of Lincoln county, with the fatter-
ing comments of the jackson Independent
upon it. This exhibit was made in the
Independent last June, 1879, not 1878
as printed, and we rather expected
that Dr. Atkins would show that his let,
ter had been garbled and his sentiments
misconstrued. But no explanation has
come, and the people of Lincoln have a
right to know the political status OF the
candidates who are seeking their votes, If
DR.. Atkins seeks inspiration from the
Great Astrologef, Genl West, who is also
the PiclzensviIle, Miss, commander of the
faithful, and hopes to ride into power on
the ast biological current. he will not object
to letting the people know the fact
In its biographical sketch Of the Doctor,
however, the Independent while enumerat-
ing the responsible positions, which the
Doctor held in the Democratic party in
Lincoln county, inadvertently omitted to
mention the fact that the Doctor was per-
sistent and ardent applicant for Democratic
nomination, and, somehow OF. other, always
managed to escape the endorsement of
Democratic conventions. His case is, per-
haps, similar to the Astrologer's, On Il small
scale. The Democratic party of the State
presumed to get along without the Astrolo-
ger, and the Democratic party of Lincoln
presumed to make up its ticket without
nominating the Doctor. This is the milk
in the astrological, 'See here Hodges"
cocoanut-and remarks are superfuous.
