Millsdgevile Union: A little son,
Willie, of Mr.. j. w. Wilson
of this county, aged about Is years,
died OF Tuesday night of hydroPho-
bia. About two months ago a
strange cat appeared on the lot of
Mr.. Vinson. 1t appeared TO be sick
or weak, for some cause or other.
The children took it in the house to
care for it, and while Willie ViDson
was handling it the cat bit him on
the end Of finger, fastening its teeth
so firmly that they could not be
looseued from the cats fangs until
the rabid animal was killed. The
wound healed, and the occurrence
was about forgotten, when two days
before his death symptoms of hydro
phobia appeared, and commissions
continued with increasing violence
until the poor boy was relieved by

rounds.
...Some miserable miscreant shattered
one of the new street lamps at the corner
of Church street and Kcnnesaw avenue last
Saturday night. 1t was undoubtedly de
cided piece of malicious mischief and every
good citizen should make effort to bring the
offender to Justice. Sheriff Coryell says
that $50 is idly awaiting the person who
will furnish sufficient proof to convict the
unprincipled perpetrator
The Monday morning issue of the
Constitution containing full account OF
Gov. Stephens death and detailed arrange

The Kennesaw mills have a stock OF
100, 900 bushels of wheat on hand.

The unreliabiity of servants is becom-
ing such "a nuisance that it must neccessarl-
" compel an importation from some where.
Nearly every one is complaining of some
negligence on their part and the cOmpulso-
nv correction Of the evil would result with
detriment to them.
The city council proposes to keep up
the street lamps where they are needed, il
placed in position by individuals. Sever
al have taken advantage of the proposition
and we expect soon to see the city com
pletely lighted.

beginning to move. you want plow

pillow we would be glad to sell it to you.
We keep full line of planters hardware

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense OF
weight in the back loins and lower part OF the
abdomen, causing the patient TO suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or neighboring

The Dead Governor.

The death of Georgia's honored Cover
nor, Alexander H. Stephens, was received
at this place on Sunday morning with pro
found regret and sadness by our people.
On all sides we heard nothing but words OF
lament aud reverence for the illustrous
statesman who but few hours before had
passed peacefully to the presence of his
Maker In token of respect, the flag at the
National Cemetery was at half mast. Al
the Methodist Church, Rev. Mr.. Manget,
who preached the morning sermon, paid a
beautiful tribute to the purity of life and
exalted greatness of the christian statesman
and patriot whose life had been witness
for Christs holy religion. The good deeds
and enrolling influence OF A. II, Stephens,
live after him.

CONFINEMENT.

There is no virtue like it under Heaven,
And he whose life is crowned with sweet
content
Is rich as though old "Croesus" wealth was
given,
Fen though in fact he be not worth a cent.
There is no bounds to mans ambitious
His eager palm outstretches as he goes
Gold shimmers down thro' all his daily
dreams,
The verb TO get" the only one he knows
How blest is Ike who what e'er may betde,
Sits smiling at the boon which fortune
sends,
Who Gods own finger has identified,
And deems that all he suffers rightly tends;
And | myself am something of this stuff
Always cOntented when | have enough.
