$500 Damages

Last week there was Judge
~ ent rendered in our justice court
against The Southern Express
Company in favor of Mrs. w. c.
Parker, the Quassi cup woman,
for $75 damages. 1t seems that
Mrs. Parker had her wares ex-
pressed froaa Albany to
this place. Instead of the goods
coming direct, they vert to At
lanta, back TO Albany and then to
Dawson. She claims that while
her goods were on the road she
lost the sale of enough to
make the amount sued for, be-
sides being charged too much ex-
press. LATER Since the above
was written we learn that the mat
ter has been compromised.

A FLORIDA Fairy Tale.
From the Batn6rtdge Democrat.


A good fish story is thus told by Squire
Shoals, of Climax: "Some years ago,
while living in Florida, one day went
fishing in lake near my house. Sitting
in boat, [ was fishing for reaches for
trout bait. While sitting there an old tree
duck, holding young duckling in her
bill, lit on the water near me, and, leaV-
ing it, flew away. She had Just gone,
when an immense trout gulped the duck
ling in. The old duck soon returned with
another duckling, and, depositing it in the
water, again flew away. AS before, the
trout was ready, and took the little fellow
in out of the VET This process was con-
tinued until the old duck had brought
seven ducklings and until the trout had
taken as many lin out of the wet Hav-
her family, the old duck began to call and
look for the others, and while so employed
the old trout went for her, also. Realiz-
ing her loss and peril, she, however, flew
away and escaped.
''By this time" continued the Squire
81 had caught a good large silver side
and hooking him on my trout hook cast
out for the trout. Seeing my tempting
morsel he went for that also with as much
gusto as he had taken in the little ducks.
gave him plenty of line and soon | had
him hooked, and awav he sped for the
middle of the lake. He pulled me, boat
and all, a full half mile before he surren-
dered. But, sir, got him at last, and he

Has IL Come to This ?


We were told last Saturday by young
man of this county that he was offered
twelve months ago Sl25 per month to
stand about on the sidewalk and invite
the boys" to go in and take drink.
This offer was made by a barkeeper in
Georgia city. In addition to the SIPS per
month the barkeeper proposed to advance
him at the beginning of each month
enough money to pay for all
the drinks. This advances was to be
made 80 as to cover up the little game
and avoid suspicion. So you see the
whisky dealer was to give SIPS per month
and furnish the free drinks. This Young
man was asked to stand around and make
himself generally agreeable and invite
unsuspecting people to drink with him,
and to accept 1925 per month for doing
this. We asked, Chow could he afford this"
said he: 81 would represent temperate
young man and would take Just a little
drink. After going into the bar we would
stand about, and he would feel under OBJ
legations to treat me. But / would insist
that wanted nothing more, but would
insist that he go ahead and take what he
wanted. This he usually does. Maybe
he sees me the next day, and then feels
that he should invite me in. Thus you
see IL is a good scheme TO draw custom,
and the dealer makes money by It'll"

Rev. w. r. Tally. Quitman was selected
"a the place for holding the next district
meeting.
Lumpkin Independent: In the [Rdepend-
ept Of last Saturday the following para
graph appeared: "a case of scarlet fever
Is reported in town, though we do not
think it should create any alarm. as it is
OF very mild type. The last time that
there was an epidemic of scarlet fever IN
Lumpkin was in 1885. just thirty years
ago" We were careful not to state the
real alarm that was felt, as anxious par
ents seemed to suddenly become democrat
lied from the mere thought of so dreaded
a disease becoming an epidemic in our
usually perfectly healthy town, and we
suppose this very fact increased the
alarm, as Lumpkin is not subject to cpl
denies of any description. Half the chill
dren were taken from school and one or
two families left town suddenly
TO seek places of supposed safety. Ru-
m0rs were plentiful on Friday and the
fever was reported in at least three or four
families. We made careful inquiry of
the physicians and ascertained that there
was but really one case in Lumpkin and
that OF mild type,as stated. That we were
right in stating that there was no cause
for unusual alarm has been proven by
subsequent developments. The little boy
who had the fever was dismissed by his
physician on Monday, and no other cases
have been reported from any quarter.
Children who were taken from school
have beenreturned and others will resume
their studies on Monday. The scare is
over, and although some of our citizens
We're terror stricken for short time, we
should feel thankful that there was no
spread of the disease and that peace and
quiet is again restored to our homes and

Sold a Wife for 81 SO.
From the Bronson Times.


About two weeks ago "a man named
Henry Griffin came in town and tried 10
procure warrant for. the arrest Of one
Benneteld for stealing his wife. Benne
field, on hearing Of il, came into town last
Saturday to see abour it, aud TO show that
he had not been guilty of stealing the bet
ter half OF Griffin, but claimed that Mrs.
Griffin 5el0Rabd to him, and III support of
his claim produced the following:
BILL, OF SALE.
ALACHUA COUNTY, FLA. Dec. 90 ISL
The said Henry Griffin sold his said Wife,
Francies Griffin, TO the said per nettie
megowin, sold and delivered for the said
price of l.50 cts, which clares him of having
anything more to do with her at the Present
time. this dec. 70 1854.
Witness, ISAAC SwINDLE.
JAMES BASS.
Bennefield bought the "bill OF sale"
from Mrs. NMcGowan, and when Griffin
applied to him for his wife a few days
ago, he told him to take the baby If he
liked, but he must let the woman alone.
He is keeping the bill Of sale to show, if
ever prosecuted, that he came by the wo-
man honestly. The parties live in tue
southern part Of Alachua county. Benne-
field thinks he made an excellent trade,
and seems to be as proud of his possess
slons as Mormon bishop.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE TRAINED HORSES.


While the proper term for Lewis & Bris-
tops troupe of trained horses is the Eques-
curriculum probably the public generally
will feel better informed if we call them by
the above title. Mr.. Warwick is to be con-
graduated on securing so neat, clean and at
tractive an entertainment for the Bijou.
Notwithstanding the sudden rise in temper
allure, yesterday, making the inside of an
ordinary theatre anything but comfortable,
the great size of the rink and its height made
the Bijon good place to be in. There was
a very good attendance and it is matter of
record that the audience was thoroughly de-
lighted. 1t is not necessary to go into any
comparison between Prof. Bartholomew
Equine Paradox and Lewis & BristoIs
Equescurriculum Both shows have their
respective superiority over each other, but
we can say that the latter show does not
suffer in comparison with the former. Many
of the feats performed are the same and
Prof Bristols equines are very prompt and
very amusing. We have given from day to
day extracts from exchanges describing the
principal feats. Last night the audience
applauded literally and they evidently voted
the performance great success. The en-
tertainment will be repeated every night and
should draw great audiences.

great pleasure. when produced here last
season, and the fact that two such sterling
actors as Mr.. William Redmund and Mrs.
Barry take the principal roles should en-
sure crowded houses.
