due to this cause, and delay will con-

Whenever the ofRoe-seekess 20 and give

the expiration Of terms will be made
much moro promptly than under the
last administration. Tho prspiety Of
appointing the persous whose nomjna-

About FIGS.


Albany News and Advertiser.
One of the bishops of the
Northern Methodist Church, writ
ing from some point In Texas to
his home paper, expressed sur
prise at the capabilities of the
State in the direction of fg-grow-
ing for market, and at the remiss.
ness of the. people in improving
the opportunity presented.
What is true of Texas as to cap
abilities IN that direction is abun-
dantly true of this immediate Sec
tion. We have alluded to this fact
once or twice before, and it may
not be amiss to refer to it again.
The fig tree in this section
grows 20 al enormous size-the
winters never being cold enough
to kill them, as is the case, occas-
ionally, in higher Georgia lati-
tudes. 1t isn't likely that the tree
attains larger proportions any
where, and the yield is abundant.
There might be some difficulty
in shipping figs except in the dry
state; but we are unable to see
why they may not be produced
and dried in this section, and
shipped by thousands all over the
country While other fruits are
engaging the attention Of grow
ecs, there is no good reason why
the fig should be overlooked. It
certainly does not speak we'll for
the enterprise of our people that
they have gone on from one year
to year buying this fruit in the dried
state, when no section of country
in the world is better adapted for
growing it-not excepting Smyr-
na itself. The trees require no
cultivation and but little care, and
the process of drying and packing
the fruit could be easily learned.
There are few fruit men in this
section. Let them devote some OF
their time to figs, and we doubt
not they will find the business
both pleasant and profitable.

A Young Lady SOmnambuIist.
MISS FLORENCE DEAN WHILE
ASLEEP FALLS A DISTANCE
OF Is FEET.

Miss Florence Dean, a young
lady living near Coosaville, about
IL miles from the city, happened to
a terrible accident last Saturday
night which may result in death.
Miss Dean is a somnambulist,
and very frequently in the dead
hours of night she is found walk
ing in her sleep. So accustomed
had the family become to her
walking in her sleep they thought
very little about it, little dream
ing that it would ever result seri-
ously. Last Saturday night about
10 o'clock some time after the
members of the family had re-
tired to their beds, some one heard
something hit the ground with
dull thud, which was followed by
an outcry of some one in distress.
Quickly Fastening to the place
where the noise came from Miss
Florence was found lying on the
ground in a semi-conscious eondi-
tion. She was en- dishabille, and
it only took a glance to see that,
while asleep, she had walked to
the window on the second floor,
which was open, and stepped out,
falling distance of eighteen feet
to the ground. She was picked
up and carried to her room and
physician sent for to attend to her
injuries. All of Sunday she was
unable to move and was splitting
blood, and our last information
states that she is in a precarious
condition, it being doubtful wheth-
er she will live.
Miss Dean is young lady of
education and refinement, and her
friends and schoolmates of this
city will gretexceedingly to hear
of her accident. She is a daugh-
ter of Mr.. G. P. Dean, a promi-
nent citizen ofthe community

NOT BOOK AGENT
GALLANT GENERAL UNDER
TAKES TO BE AN EMIsSARY
OF CUPID.

THERE'S a General Of local fame
who went through a very unhap-
py quarter of an hour a week or
two ago. He had just returned
from the East. There he made
the acquaintance of q young gen.
tleman who is engaged to be mar
ried to very charming Oakland
girl.. The truth, that always is
the accessory. Of separation of lov-
ers, burned in the young mans
breast, and he took the opportuni-
ty when the General was leaving
to load him.dcwn with messages
of love and,a book for his fance.
The gallant warrior undertook
the commission with all willing
ness, and when he had rested from
his trip he started off one Sunday
morning for Oakland with the
book under his arm. He sought
out the address given him, for the
young girl was stranger to him,
and as he approached he saw a
lady seated on the steps of an
Oakland villa. He opened the
gate and walked in with an impos-
ing martial air: The lady eyed
him with an unfavorable look.

Chased by a COachwhip.

A few days ago Mr.. Eason, who
tenants the farm of Mr.. j. d.
High, q few miles from town,
while engaged in chopping cotton
in a field some distance from his
house, was set upon by a coach
whip of huge dimensions. Mr..
Eason assumed the offensive, and
tried to repel his violent antago-
mist. He was soon forced to flee,
however, for safety, and a lively
chase, with the young farmer in
the lead, was made over cotton
beds to the house. AS soon as he
was in hearing distance Mr.. Ea-
son called to his wife for his gun,
who ran to the rescue of her al
most breathless husband Just in
time for him to rid himself Of his
venemous pursuer, which he did
by emptying the contents Of the
shotgun into his snakeship. The
coachwhip was very large one,
measuring eight feet and nine
inches. Madison Madisonian.

LOcusts in Georgia.

Above Canton a few miles and
around Ball Ground, the woods
fairly ring with the music of the
locust, and they abound in large
numbers. Besides eating the
growing crops they seem to have
a special mania for killing fruit
trees, committing other depreda-
tions and doing all the damage
they can. AS long as they remain
the hogs will be apt to live high,
as they are said to be very fond
of themA
The 17-year locusts have come
to Gainesville in earnest. The
trees and fences are literally COW
cred with them, and their unceas-
ing, whirling noise is kept up
from early dawn till the dark
est hour of night, and they keep
coming.
From gentleman just returned
from Northeast Georgia it is
learned that the 17-year locusts
are thick around Lula aud
Gainesville. They come out of
the ground and Immediately go
up in the trees and commence
boring into the timber and depos-
it their eggs. A. gentleman at
Lula fastened q bullet to the end
of 2O0-yard spool of thread and
dropped it in q hole that locust
had come out of, and it did not
reach the bottom. There is an
old superstition with the South
ern negro that when the locust
disappears he goes to "sheol," and
it takes him IL years to get back
from that country,

AWAY.

When the ihists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine warm and tender.
Falls in splendor on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
Ii we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust.
II we miss the law of kindness
When we struggle to be Just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our way.
When the weary watch is over
And the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have yelled us.
From the faces of our own.
Oft we deem their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone
we should see them near and truly,
we should trust'them day by day,
Neither love nor blame unduly,
1t the mists were cleared away.
When the mists have risen above us,
AS our father knows his own,
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known.
Low beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart to heart we hide the shadows,
Till the mist is cleared away.

Burst His Back.
A LOCUST FOUND SEvENTY-FIvE
FEET UNDER GROUND.

Last week two of the Messrs.
Christy and Mr.. Dyer were clean
ing out a well in this place, which
was seventy-five feet deep. In
the bottom was a hard rock five
feet thick through which they
made two blasts by means Of dy-
Mantle. After they had got
through the rock into soft earth,
they hauled up seventeen-year
locust in the grub state. He vas
on his way from China to his
home, and was intending to keep
his appointment on the surface
this week If he had not struck
rock. AS it was he had become
reconciled to the disappointment,
but seemed hopeful of better re-
suits next time. He had not
thought about dynamite, but was
expecting to be able to drill
through by 1902. He was very
much gratitied at his very timely
deliverance, and expressed his
gratitude by climbing bush,
bursting himself open in the back
and coming out squarely on the
the side of winged insects. s.-Dah-

nrSTURBtNG A CONGREG ALTON.
walking Deliberately into a Church
aud Shooting His Rival.

The news come to rs from
North Georgia, where the breeaes
which brew on the sky-kissing
mountain tops should be sufficient
10 cool the most feverish anger,
that a eolored lover walked into a
church and emptied q cast-iron
revolver at the head Of a rival.
Emory CLARK is the name of the
Young man who thus sought fame,
and jim Watkins is his rival.
Both faAcied the same girl, and
the girl is uncertain as to which
Young man she lived best. On
Sunday night when the church
was full of repentant sinners, and
while the minister was beating the
Gospel truths into the heads of
the flock, Emory walked up the
aisle and spied the apple of his
heart blending her rich contralto
with the silver. tenor Of his hated
rival. Emory'saw only their back,
but he recognized familiar kink
in the rear kinkiness of the girls
head, and knew it was she. In a
second the revolver was evolved
from a side pocket and speedily
tvo bullets were buried in Wal
Inns face and arm.
The scene that followed the
quick reports Of the pistol was
one of animation. Above the din
Of scufling, scrambling and
screaming could be heard the
shouts of the more devout sisters
Clling on the Lord to save them,
sh It required but little time to
empty the church, leaving the
wounded rival in sole possession.
Clark was jailed and Watkins is
getting well.
