SATURDAY, January IS.


SATURDAY, January 19.
j. S. Gibson has sent out over 500 state
ments this week.
Mrs. Lemon, of Nebraska, is visiting
her sister, Mrs. Van Buskirk, instead of
Mrs. Starbuck, as we said in yesterdays
daily.
Harry Heasley had a very fine watch,
costing $3.50, and thought he would like
to have his name engraved thereon; also
have it cleaned, etc, so he sent 1t all the
way to New York City to have it all
done-sent it with Steve James. Steve
had the engraving, cleaning, etc, done,
and well done, and paid for it; but un-
fortunately, Steve took nap on the way
home. Now Harry cannot tell what
time it is, neither can Steve, for he never
saw that watch after he took that little
nap.
Jake Kaesinger put his wallet, con-
tanning about six dollars and some valu-
able papers, in his hip pocket, ycster-
day, attended the lecture on phrenology
last night, and now he mourns the loss of
that pOcketbOOk and contents, as we'll as
the hole cut in his pants and pocket
through which that wealth was abstract
ed Suspicion points strongly in a GER
tain direction.
Sans Cook went to EmpOria yesterday
with his cutter for some Wood but wheth
er he can start flame with that Wood
or not, we don't know.
We need two policemen IN this town.
On last Wednesday night some one took
a fine horse of Bob Halls out of the sta
bic and drove him very hard, as he show
ed the next morning by the dry sweat on
him; he was also cut badly on the neck,
or bitten by another horse. The horse
refused both food and water, and stood
shaking like he was ready to drop.
When Bob lays his hands on that rooster
he will think he has been called hence.
On Thursday night some one took
viii Ernest's horse and tied him in a
back lot with saddle and bride still on.
VIII had to walk home-three and one
half miles-and the poor horse stood
there all night. We presume this was
done for joke, but we agree with VIII
that it was d-n poor one. But what
we want the two policemen for is to keep
order at any public gatherings we may
have. AS it is now, the back part of the
hall, church, school house, or wherever
meeting may be held, is given up to the
hoOdlums-at least they act like hood
lums. We do not blame the average
small boy so much, as the example is set
by those that ''are big enough, old enough
and ought TO know better.n4 Those that
go TO an entertainment of any kind for
the purpose of being benefited are so an
noycd by these ROSTERS that they cannot
enjoy what would otherwise be a good
entertainment. Our proposition is that
the town hire two policemen for a month,
and we nominate Chris. Wise and Frank
Blair, the one to knock down and the
other to drag out, taking it by turns, IN

arc still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orouS health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than 4 quarter of century, and
have obtained n worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are SO
composed that Instructions within
their range can rarely withstand or
evade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints OF every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baffied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
It from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any dcleteriOuS drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being

A U r DANGER.
4 Beautiful Orphan Girl Claimed q. tn.
Daughter OF an Abandoned Woman.

Atlanta, Constitution.
There is . singular affair now in process
Of solution, the facts of which swing between
this city and the city Of Macon, and which
may yet take the form of 4 very exciting
sensation. 1t has been talked OF in the city
for several days, and the circumstances ap.
pear to be we'll established.
The recital RUM that some sixteen years
ago there was conveyed to the care of an
Episcopal home, or orphan institution, in
Macon, . female infant that was very pretty
and promising, even at its then tender age.
The child was sent from Augusta, and the
purpose of its parents was plain-to abandon
it forever. 1t was taken into the home and
has since remained there, growing into
young womanhood, educated, refined, kept
pure in mind and heart by the surrounding
influences, and blooming into . beauty Of
the rarest type. She is now above sixteen
years of age, and q young lady endowed with
all the accomplishments necessary to make
her useful in the world.
Another chapter of the story is that there
then lived In Augusta q young woman
whose habits of life were not
within the conventional rules and
whose destiny was forecast beyond question.
or late years it appears this woman has
been ono of the "boss" psrishs of Atlanta,
and kept an establishment devoted to pur
poses not proper for mention here. She has
been . well-known character and her PAM

The Drouers' Journal truthfully says
that we need TO keep more sheep. In all
parts of this great country to secure health
and comfort its people must have food
and clothing. The sheep furnishes the
best and most wholesome animal food,
and the most comfortable clothing yet
tested by the masses of our people. In
malarial districts, especially those where
extremes of heat and cold are frequent,
wooden clothing and frecr and more
common diet of good young mutton,
would insure better health and better
vigor than generally characterizes pork
eaters and the wearers of cotton and
linen. Let no one indulge a single fear OF
over. production of either mutton or wool.
Could our flocks be tripled or quadrupled,
they would add not only to the comfort
and healthfulness of the people, but to
their intelligence and sobriety, as well rs
the productiveness of every field used as a
sheep pasture.

| time that he was signing only an order
for goods to be furnished him by the local
agent of horse hobble, to.be paid for in
both cases when the goods had been sold.
Every day brings to light similar cases,
until we begin to wonder where green
timber TO work on can be found. A case
is now pending in the Cleveland court oil
exactly the same nature as the foregoing.
The swindled farmer in this case refuses
to pay the note, which, being negotiable
has passed into the hands of third party,
who now brings suit to collect. We I'M
derstand that the defence will set up the
plea that this third party is not an inno'
cent purchaser, but has purchased simi-
lar notes in several previous instances.
We are not at liberty to give names. The
notice, BE careful what. you sign,
should be posted up in large letters before
the door of every farmer who don't read

the feeling of security from lightning die
not quite compensate for the extra effor
and pinching necessary to pay for the or

If one wants lightning rods, have them

as much as it will to earn money to pay ;

talk is of no use-people who get swindle'

After their transformation they appear
upon trees and fences, and sometimes upon
flowers. They fly both by day and by
night, and feed upon flowers and upon
leaves.
The largest of tho spring beetles are
nearly two inches long, and of black
color, spotted with numerous white dots.
They make their appearance in June or
July. Both the bugs and their brood are
found in old apple trees, and live upon the
wood.
The fire beetle of the West Indies is
another species of this insect. 1t has two
transparent, eye-like spots on the thcrax,
and its body is divided into segments
from which the strong light is emitted.
Two other species of beetle are distin-
guiShed by claws resembling combs with
a row of fine teeth along the under edge.
They complete their transformation in the
autumn, and pass the winter under the
bark of trees. Their grubs live on wood.
The eomnluniS beetle is 4 more common
and very abundant species, closely resem-
bling the former in its general appearance,
but is smaller.
Still another kind of the spring beetle
| (whOsc technical name would throw no
light upon his nature or habits) absolutely
swarms in our paths and in the grass
during the bright days of April and May
This species has slender body, is of a
chestnut brown color, and wears numer.
GUS short, yellow hairs upon his body
The larv@ probably live in the ground
upon the roots of grasses and plants
There is another thick and short beetle
called 0beSuS, which deserves a brief no
tice. 1t is of a dark brown color, and is
covered with gray hairs. The head and
thorax are thickly punctured, as are the
wing cases, in rows. This beetle resem
bles the wire worm of Europe, and may
be the same. 1t is found in April, May
and June among the roots of grass, under
boards on the ground, and sometimes OF
fences.
More than sixty different kinds of spring
beetles are found in Massachusetts, alone
but further description of this genu!
seems unnecessary.
Linneus, the great naturalist, was one,
consulted by the king of Sweden us to the
cause of the decay and destruction of thu
ship timbers in the royal dock yard. HI
assured the king that the mischief wa
done by the depredations of insects, an(
was advised TO sink the timbers under tn,
water during the season when these insect
made their appearance in the winged stat'
and were busy in laying their eggs. Ii
this way the timbers were secured from
further attacks.
Since that time these naval timber de
stroyers have so increased in some of tn
dock yards of France as to alarm the off
GERS for the safety of the navy, and this i
said to be wholly in consequence of neg
lect to apply the necessary remedy. Thi
species of insects are real timber beetles
though they do not differ much from tn
spring beetles already described. TIL
I general name given to some species c
} this family means sleeper in Tie soood,
though we may infer that they do not al
ways sleep, Judging from the depreciation
: they commit upon the forest trees.
The weevil tribe will next occupy Oh
attention.
