The work of improvement which is in

beautiful park is being pushed forward rapidly.
The pavomens and sidewalks have been torn un

graded up some two feet to the fountain, which is
already there and will be allowed TO remain. The

improve the triangle at the intersection Of Rhode

A SAVANNAH DRUMMER WANT
EDAT PORT GAINES.

The Macon Telegraph of Sunday
relates the following b-aaw
1.-TWO Macon Drummers, assisted
by one from Savannah, played a
Joke upon a Northern traveller in
Fort Gaines a few days since, which
came near having serious termina
ton. 1t seems that the stranger
had been Boosting of his powress
and the plot was laid
with the intention only Of taking
him down. The Savannah man
took him out for walk on the bluff,
when they were met by the other
two, who ordered them to halt
Whisper ing run the Savannah
man struck out like deer followed
By the now thoroughly frightened
pan Of prowess. The Macon men
fred over them, and by agreement
the Savannah boy threw up his arms
shrieked and fell. The other, how~
ever, stresked it for town, closely
pursued. Dasbing down the street
he spied a church open and rushed
straight up the aisle. With the ex
clamation they connot kill me here
on bis lips be fell to the floor aud
went into a kind of fit, vomiting uu
til it seemed as though he would die.
It was a long time before the doc
tors got him straight. 1t is said
that had the strain been kept up
hundred yards further nothing could
have saved him. Three drummers
are now wanted in Fort Gaines, =
One is from Savannah and the
others from Macon"

eve are paying ten million dollars

and ! propose that we stop it,
Since the introduction Of CONNER
cisl fertilizers into this state the an
nusl increase has been alarming
From q very small beginning few
years ago We will for this year ap-
proximate over a million dollars in
commercial fertilizers. To my mind
it is only question of time when
Geor Sia will be if possible doubly
bankrupt. Not only will our farm.
ers have so overtraded in thi, single
item of chemical fertilizers that
they cannot pay, bat our lands will
be 80 severely taxed by the owe, use
of these manures that they will be
rendered comparatively worthless
Since we have begun the use of
manufactured chemical fertilizers,
our old system of raising m&uures
and permanently improving our soils
has been almost abandoned. 1t is
easy to buy on a credit-it requires
labor to raise from lots home fertili'
GERS Oar only hope for Georgia
to. day is if possible to place these
chemical fertilizers beyond our
reach.
Stop the sale-let our farmers man
ufacture solid fertilizers, such as en-
abIed us to thribble our wealth from
1870 to 1860. It is not my pur
pose to ipjure anybody or any enter"
prise. ] simply hope to divert our
people to this question that they
may stop before It's two late"

The Legislature is after Mormons'

has been introducod to make it a
felony for any one to induce others
to commit bigamy or felony. 1t is
a step in the right direction, but it
will be hard matter to make the law
operative OF conviction uDder it GER,
taiu. The Mormons are shrewd
enough not to preach polygamy.
They hold oUt other inducements to
persuade the ignorautto espouse their
religion, without mentioning the cor
rup,ing features, and once their
dupes are in Utah, then the infamy
of the whole system looms up and is
pressingIy presented. Mormonism
is foul blot upon our civilization
