Thomasville EnteTpriSe "Some time last
July, Duncan Mcmillan, an industrious colored
/ man. went off to work on the railroad. His
wife consented that colored woman named
| - should take a little aughter of Duncan's,
/ about twelve years of age, but very small for
her years, with her to where she lived on the
1 MI afnNf ian Of IN
! Very shortly after the child got there-not
more than two or three weeks-she was seen
going down the road towards Monticello, and
some Others to catch the child. which, however,
/ none OF them did, as they thought she had been
| badly treated. The woman followed the child
| or, and returning some time afterwards
her She sent word to the
| child mother some weeks afterwards that the
/ child had run away. Duncan came home as
/ soon as he could, but. ut.haviog large family de
/ pendent on his labors, he did not get back till
| some few weeks ago. Since his return he has
made diligent search for the child without
avail He has walked all around through that
/ portion of the county, but so far cannot find a
| trace OF his child. He says she was not very
| bright for her years, and could not possibly
have gone away so as not to be heard of with
| out direction and assistance. de IS too poor to
| pay detectives to wOlk up the case, but is most
| anxious for any Information that will lead to
the discovery of the fate of the child .
Griffin Netcs: lone of the most lovely places
| in Sralding county is the carp pond Of Mr.. A.
| A. Wright in north Griffin. Those of our read
| ers who have never visited it can form little
/ idea of its beauty. Mr.. Wright, who is genius
| in everything, has devoted to the improve
| ment of this place his best skill ami energies.
| We must confess TO some neglect in not giving
more prominence to an enterprise that has at
| tracted so much attention and favorable COM
| ment in Georgia. and which has even fllled
| columns in Influential Western papers. The
pond covers an area of nearly an acre and is
| supplied with water by large, bold spring
that bOis up in the centre. and water convey ed
| by underground pipes from a number of
| springs several hundred feet distant. The
! dam is constructed in the best manner, being
| planked up on the inside of the best heart pine
| lumbsr with clay backing on which is planted
Bermuda grass. Inside the pond, near one
| corner is a dry well eight feet in diameter and
ten feet deep, Octagon shaped, at the bottom
of which is a large hydraulic engine or ram
that forces water through pipes all over the
residence of Mr.. Wright. where it is used for
the various purposes needed. kitchen, bath
room. etc, keeping up constant How
of water without the use of tanks or
reservoirs, having the same pressure OF
an elevated tank thirty feet high and also
keeping a beautiful fountain cOntinu
ally playing seven Jets of water fifteen feel
| high Around the top OF the dry well is a
strainer or seive of wire cloth made to order
in New York, through which the waste water
escapes from the pond (thereby preventing the
escape of the smallest carp, thence from tbs
bottom through waste pipe which conveys
| ali surplus water and waste from the pond and
| ram Two large weeping willows stand in tbs
centre on two islands built Octago shaped anC
sodded with blue grass. The willows are the
| largest and hands0mest in the county and are
exceedingly ornamental. Around the pond
| on the dam, are other large weeping willows
| which make the place look cool and pleasant
On the upper side are planted a row Of mag
nolias and weeping willows. and in the pond
spread on the surface blooms the beautiful
| yellow water lilies. yellow lotus, curcutiaI
recurrata, ealladium escalaDtumS, and
variety of other ornamental aquatic plants
In the depths of the pond swim the largest ant
finest carp in the State, ranging in size from
the tiny ones to those % and "A inches il
length. OF all sizes, there are million o
carp ia the pond. and in them a very hand
some profit for Mr.. Wright"
