This is little snake story for cent, and
tho crowning beauty of it is its absolute
truthfulness: Mrs, ]. F. Waggamau, of
Brightwood bought a basket Of moss at
market day or two ago. Her little boy
made cushion of the moss on the drive
home. The road is not smooth as q parlor
floor for the whole distance, and the little
fellow jolted about on that moss,
packing it quito hard. When the
boy and the basket were lifted from the
carriage at Brightwood the boy clambered to
tho ground, and after him crawled copper
head snake which had been coiled up in the
moss. His snakeship was big fellow, and

Therefore, these duelists, in their hot

of truth is still an open question.

REDIsTRICTING.

The Rome Courier agrees with the
MARIETTA JOURNAL, that it is best to
adopt Mr.. Crenshaw's bill in redis-
tricsiOg the State and that the Sew
enth be disturbed bat little. That
paper says: "The cutting off of
the county of Cherokee and leaving
the balance of the present district
intact will make the district as com
pact and symmetrical as i, is possible
to be. 1t will straighten its eastern
line and leave the district with al
most the exact ratio required for a
representative to Congress. 1t will
also contribute to some other district
very fine county and one having
just about the population which our
district can spare towards the
making up of the tenth congressional
district which Georgia is now en-
titled Besides, it will leave unbro-
ken the pollncRl association OF all
but one of the counties of the district
which has for years had the hardest
fought political contests of any dis
trict of the State"
The Gainesville Free Press too
seems to be in favor of this arrange.
ment, and says: 1--WE are in favor
of strict and faithful redistrictipg
of the State according to population.
We are 10 favor of the counties be-
ing as nearly punched as possible in
the new spporiiopment consistent
with the question of population"
As the counties forming the Sew
enth district are "buncbed," geo.
graphically considered, we hope the
Legislature will spare the pruning
knife when it touches this district.

AN ALABAMA TRACED

A terrible tragedy occurred 18th,
ult, at Collinsville, Alabama, a
small station on the Alabama Great
Southern roilrosj, twenty miles be-
low Chattanooga. A dispute arose
bet ween the Halls and Mullens fam
lilies regarding the division line of
the respective estates. A few days
ago, Tom Hall built fence between
the property, which the Mullens
claim was improperly located, and
they threatened to tear i. down.
Hall intimatsd he would shoot him
if he executed his threat. Mullens
proceeded to the property, and while
10 the act of removing the fence he
was killed by Hall. His brother,
John Mullins, also came up st this
juncture and was also shot and ia
tally wounded. He jerked out piss
tol and killed Hall on the spot
Halls father, A. 3. Hall, was then
seen approaching and was shot dead
by Mullens, who is now dying. All
parties are wealthy and prominent.

ONE OF THE GREATEST sPEoULA
TORS.

From the National Republican,
P. d. Amour, is of sturdy Scotch
Presby terian stock. He was born
in one of the central counties of New
York, on farm among the bills.
1t was the highest ambition of his
boyhood days to earn money enough
to buy the farm sdjoiniug bis faith
er's. When the gold fever broke
out be was still q mere STRIPPING ;
but, full of youthful enthusiasm, he
started for Californian, driving a
wagon across the plains and noun
tains. He remained there for four
years, and 10 that time saved few
thousand dollars. He had cash
enough to buy the farm and settle
down. He had no sooner reached
home than be experienced sudden
revulsion of feeling. The atreets OF
the village looked narrow crsmped,
and dull. The houses appeared
mean and diugy. He only remained
on the farm two or three days, and
then took himself to Cincinnati.
Later he drifted to Milwaukee, and
at the close of the war he sold q
great lot of pork at $40 barrel,
and bought i. in again at SIS to $40,
realizing a profit of about a million.
To-day he ranks as the wealthiest
man 10 Chicago, being rated by
those who know something of bis
business at S25, 100000 or s30,0O0,-
900. His transactions are colossal.
His firm employs between 5000 and
5000 men, and on bis pay rolls are
about fifty men who receive salaries
of $4,000 and over. He is not vet
SO years of age.

There are four mines in Cherok ee
county that have made fortunes
the Kellogg, Skies, Cherokee and
Franklin mines. No one knows
what has been taken from the mines
in that county, but it amounts to
several millions, and many farmer
has made bis money mining with
which he has bought his farm. l
do not suppose there is forty acre
lot in Cherokee county that gold can
not be panned from it enough to
make a showing. Neither the Skies
nor the Cherokee mines are being
run. The Franklin niue ia 10 full
blast, and | understood some limited
work is being done on the Kellogg
mine. | consider the Kellogg a
good mine. The Skies mine is what
is called deposit mine, that is the
gold is in particles mixed in the loose
soil. The Kellogg is of the same
description. The Franklin and
Cherokee are sulphuretted veins -
There is no reason to doubt that close
prospecting would develop others as
valuable mines in this county. The
counties that have taken the lead
in gold mining are Lumpkin, Daw,
SOD, Hall, White, Hsbershsm and
Rabun. There is no iron mining
10 this county, though there are
plentiful beds of iron ore.

COFFEE HOUSE.

The coffee house experiment 10
Boston is only sixteen months old,
but has reached $1,000 profit a
month. The capital was furnished
by benevolent men who looked for
90 pecuniary return. The Casino
coffee house was opened in February,
1882, and occupied the whole of a
building Plate glass windows, hard
wood finish, decorated walls, and
tasteful furnishings served to remove
any impression of cheap charity
There were two entrances, one, for
women, opening directly into draw
ing rooms, and the other, for men,
TO "coffee bar" where coffee, CO.
Goa, ETC., sand wiches, and simple re-
freshments were sold, and 10 the rear
we're billiard au6 pool tables, with
chairs for persons watching the
games. Cigars were sold at the cof-
fea counter, and smoking was allow
ed. Overhead was reading-rOom
and an apartment fitted up with
tables for games. The idea was to
provide all the social attractions OF
the saloons, with the exception of
intoxicating drinks. A new coffee
house was soon projected, the AL
hambra, which is even more attrac-
tive 10 its decorations and furnish
ing than the Casino, and equally sue
cessful.

The Republican party is enriched
with the whisky ring swiudles, and
the Belknsp swindles, and the third
term plot, and myriad other SINH
lar Jobs and thefts and crimes. The
argument will be that no reform is
possible until such party is turned
out, aod that it can be turned out
only by putting in the Democratic
party. That such a plan is shrewd
and promising is uudeuisble.
