Mr.. Jack Richards and family, OF
Mexico, are here visiting friends and rela-
tives. Mr.. Richards has been absent for
nearly twenty years, spending his time in
Texas and Mexico. He has been travel
ing lately over the United States and
Canada with his little daughter Emmie,
who was held captive by the Indians IN
the Indian Territory Tor about year.
Little Emmie is the heroine Of true In
dian story, and 10 the object of attraction
and interest wherever she goes. IT, 5usands
go to see the little glrl on crutches, who
spent twelve long, weary months among
the cruel savages. Space will not permit
us 70 give q detail OF her capture,
of the sleepless nights spent by
her parents and friends in a
fruitless search for her, OF the
priyations and sufferings she underwent
while in her captivity. There is material
here for book of thrilling interest. Her
father, with an exploring party, was sta
TONED on Beaver creek, in tue indian Ter
ritory. Little Emmie, who was then 10
years old, was sent to the spring for
water, and while there was captured by
the Indians. Her whereabouts remained
in obscurity for some time; but by the aid
of some friendly Indians IL was Rscer-
tanned that she was we'll guarded In the
wigwams OF the Indiana. Any attempt TO
rescue her by force might result IN the
death OF her rescuers and herself. The
services of renegade were secured, who
Visited the wigwam in which the girl
was, and acquainted her Of the inten-
tion of her father and friends TO rescue
her. AT time when the Indians least
expected it they were attacked by
the rescuers, and the little girl was re-
stored to the fond embrace Of living
father. Several Indians were killed dur
ing the rescue. NO time was lost in re-
tracing their steps, as they feared the
Indians would attempt to recapture the
girl and kill the whole party. Their fears
proved true, for they hadn't proceeded far
before large band of Indians surrounded
little Emmle and her four captors, and
commenced to fire upon them. Death
seemed inevitable to the whites, but they
were well armed, and at every crack OF
their well-aimed rifles a redskins death
yell was heard. The Indians were soon
driven back, and the little party pursued
their hOmeward journey. During the
battle little Emmie was hit five times
with bullets. which made her a cripple

The Grand Hurdle Act.
From the As1anta Oonstitutiot.


few years ago Senator Gordon pur-
chased in New York a beautiful clay
bank mustang, which he brought to At
lanta.
Wednesday that mustang performed the
difficult feat of jumping over a moving
freight train, and then ran half across
railroad bridge.
When Gen. Gordon brought ClGybank
south he was tame and gentle, but some
time ago a negro let him run away, ana
soon after that Gen. Gordon disposed Of
the animal because he was dangerous.
The one runaway had ruined him.
Wednesday the gentleman who owned the
horse hitched him to a fence on Davis
street. Soon after the gentleman left a
bee stung the horse, and he broke away
from the fence and started down Davis
street to Mitchell. The race down
Mitchell towards the railroad was
intensely interesting. just as the horse
reached the railroad moving train Of fat
cars occupied the track, but with leap
the claybank cleared the fiat cars and
landed on the net work of railroad tracks.
Then he turned down the Central track
and began counting crOssties towards
West End. When near Castleberry street
the claybank ran into a squad of section
hands, and knocked one twenty feet,
breaking his arm. The horse then con-
tlnued his race until he reached the
Central road bridge over the East Ten
nessee track. This bridge has no flooring,
but in his madness the horse did not
observe this, and in second he was leap
ing from one crossbeam to another. When
about half way across the bridge the clay
bank made a mister and dropped be-
tween the beams. He reared and plunged,
trying to free himself, but was unable to
gain his feet. A large crowd, who
witnessed the horses dash across the
bridge, congregated, and finally helped
him out. When the horse reached the
ground again he was uninjured, except
the loss of a good deal OF skin.

Farm Facts.

A large quantity of small watermelons
were sold at Dublin last Saturday.
MIR. Wiley Baldwin has made this sea-
son 300 gallons of scuppernong wine.
There are many farmers in Houston who
say the cotton crop OF the county will be
harvested before Dec. /.
The recent continuous rains have been
a considerable drawback TO the farmers
and cotton picking in Pierce county.
Jesse Rogers has already gathered four
teen bales of cotton from twenty acres,
and he expects to get three (prObably
four more bales from the same field.
Dublin Post: Cholera is still Staying the
swine on the east side of the river. Mr..
r. w. Blackshear gives his hogs boiled
peach tree leaves, and says that they have
served as a preventative, even after one
or two Of them died with it,
The recent rains have raised the water
courses very high in Ebert county, and
all the country mails have been cut off by
the high water. Much damage has been
done to the crops on the larger water
courses, especially the late corn, which
had not -fully matured.
On Saturday. Oct. 3, j. G. smith, of
GAINESVILLE, proposes to have an exhibit
ton of the colts sired by his two cele-
brated Norman horses. He offers $40 IN
three cash premiums for the best colts
from the two horses. In all, there are
about 80 OF these colts.

us the other day bottle of syrup made
from watermelon juice. In color it is a
rich red and very sweet tasted 1t is the
first we ever heard of being made, though
we believe sugar is made from melons In
some parts of the world.
Fort Gaines advertiser: 1t is said that
farmers are offering 60c. per 100 pounds
to have cotton picked, and can get no
hands even at that price to save the cot
ton which is rotting in the fields. We
heard a farmer say on last Saturday that
he had 40 bales open, which it was i'm
possible to hire hands to pick out.
NJ. +. Etheridge, of the upper Fifth dis
trict Of Houston county, has harvested
this year 140 bushels Of corn from four
acres, and already the greater portion OF
it has been converted into meal and sold
at zoe. bushel. This makes an income
of $24 80 per acre. This corn is called the
"Lewis Early" and is several weeks ear.
lier and much more prolific than ordinary
field corn. The fact that weevils attack
it more readily than they do harder corn
renders it undesirable for a farmer To
plant his entire crop with it.
