crosSeyed dude. Anyone nnding this pit
lful object will please return to the News
ONCE, send HIM to a lunatic asylum or
commit him to jail and wait till we come
after him. Such persons should not go
rambling over the country soaring people
out of their senses.
Turner Moon, one of the Athens police.
besides attending to the duties of police
man, has at his quiet little home one OF
the finest apiaries in the State. He took
from one gum few days ago 4S pounds
of honey, which sells readily at six pounds
for 81. Mr.. Moon takes great pride in his
bees, and has all the modern improve
ments in gums. His bees are mostly of
the Italian species. He has Is colonies,
and If they all turn out like the colony
from which he has Just extracted, they
will make him a very handsome return,
The honey Is all made from white clover,
which is said to be better for bees than
anything else. Since the stock law has
gone into effect the white clover is doing
finely. 1t is great deal better for bees
than cattle. Mr.. Moon expects to in
crease his colonies, and in a few years
will have bees to sell.
At the March term of the Superior Court
OF Dooly county four men, John Cham

son, were tried for larceny. Atkinson

judged by the citizens more guilty, but
were acquitted by the court. A regula-
ton committee was organized, and it noti-
ned the other three men to leave the county
within three days or be prepared to take
the consequences. Champion and Gum
left, but WillefOrd allowed himselfto STAY
one night too long, when he was taken
from his mouse down into creek swamp
and received most unmercifuI beating
for his conduct, and made to give the en-
tire history OF his operations since he and
his cOadj Tutors had been engaged in their
nefarious work. He was given u hours
to leave the county, but he only required
two.
Albany News: 1t was a great disap-
Dolntment to the people of Albany, who
had made such elaborate preparations,
though ON short notice, that ex-Presldent
Davis and his charming daughter made
such short stay in the Artesian City.
The young men had rendered Miss Davis
a german" and expected to present her
a beautiful watch and chain as token of
their appreciation OF her visit to our city.
But the short visit interfered with the
programme. 1t was determined, how
ever, to send the watch to her, which was
done yesterday. 1t was an exquisite
chatelaine lady's watch of great beauty
and finish. To the short fob chain was
attached a beautiful golden horseshoe
from which on three delicate chains were
suspended golden saddle, stirrup and
whip. Engraved on the watch is this IN
scription: compliments of the Albany
German Club to Miss Winnie Davis.
May 10, 1885,"
In the suburbs of Macon, especially in
the sparselY settled commons east of the
river, quite a new industry has sprung
up. Since the no fence impOunding law
went into effect. several shrewd citizens,
generally c0l0red, manage to make a
pretty good speck by taking up their
neighbors' stock and charging eXorbitant
prices for their trouble. 1t is asserted
that some employ a boy, whose business
it is to run in all pigs, cows, goats or
horses found at large, whether on the i'm
Founders premises or not. The boy gets
% cents a head royalty. Some people,
whose 50-cent goats 90 astray, prefer to
allow the holder to retain them rather
than pay 81 or 81 each for their ransom.
Only the other day widow woman was
forced to pay 81 30 to redeem two mules
that escaped from her lot. A mans cows
got out of sight. A negro took them up,
and 50 was required to regain them. A
twenty-five cent pig must be redeemed al
from 81 to 81, as the impounder thinks fiji
to charge, and other infamous exac-
tions and eXtortions are practiced. Quite
number of law-abiding citizens have
grown indignant, and the first thing these
people know, outraged justice will find a
way to deal with them. Several have
pledged themselves to keep a sharp look
out, and when proof can be obtained that
stock is unlawfrlly impounded, they will
bring an action for larceny against the
perpetrators and see If there is not some
law to protect those who have now be-
come the prey of few Infamous scoun-
drels. 1t is thought that proof of illegal
" running in will not be hard to obtain,
and when it can be had an example will
be made OF somebody.
