An Exemplary Lady.
Fron the Haralson lGd.1 Banne

IRON the AUf0tSoN lGI.l hQRI6r,
Living between Buchanan and Drake
town is one of the most thor0ugh-going
women we know of. The name of the
lady we speak of is Mrs. NJ. T.. Smith
daughter-in-aw of Mr. l.. G. smith and
daughter of Mr.. Seaborn Golden. MRS.
Smiths husband died some three or foIrx
years ago, and since that time she has
built dwelling worth $500. and cleared
up over thirty acres OF land. She hired
young man and went with him TO the
woods, superintended cutting and haul
ing of the logs To the saw mill; had the
lumber laid down on the ground, and
really assisted in dressing the lumber aud
doing other work on the residence. The
house IS now completed, painted in good
taste, and she has three good brick Chin
news to her bOuse-everything complete
and in style. She has also put pickets
around her house, and the work does
credit TO an excellent good carpenter
Besides the above she has with a little
hired help, cleared up thirty or more acres
of land and put q good fence around it.
She has a new ground OF some twelve or
fifteen acres, which is shout ready for The
pillow. We notice in passing her residence
an extra large bank of manure which she
has saved to enrich her land. She mas
planted good sized apple orchard, aud
everything abouther home is Ia trim, The
financial management of this lady sur
passes a majority OF our men, and wou d
do credit TO most all of them.

The suit at Atlanta OF John 5. Gambler
vs.. the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company for $4,000 Is based on very
sad accident. In 1883 Nv. Gambler lived
at EGgewood, suburb OF Atlanta. He
practiced law in Atlanta. 1t was his
custom to take the CovingtOn accommo-
dalton tram for home late in the after
noon, getting of at the crossing near the
Fulton spinning mills, just beyond Oak
land cemetery.
On tue night of March Is 1888,
MIR. Gambler came to Atlanta to attend a
meeting for the purpose of organizing the
Atlanta Greys, a military company. lie
remained in town too late TO take the
Coyington accommodation. He boarded
the night express on the Georgia road,
intending to get off at the crossing near
the Fulton mills. He thought the tram
would either stop at the said crossing or
run sufficiently slow for him to Jump OIL
in safety. In this he was mistaken,
1t was dark night when Mr.. Gambler
saw the lights OF the Fulton mills gloom
ing ahead of the tram, he Went out on the
platform and got down on tho lower step,
intending when the train should slack up
at the crossing TO step of and go home.
But instead of Stacking up, the train
passed the crossing at the rate of about
twelve miles an hour. Mr.. Gambler did
HUb ,lulups bul luIltu 10 SO uhth IN TIC
car and take his seat. IN turning on the
lower step Of the platform, his back pro-
truded several inches from the platform.
He was struck by pile OF wood stacked
up within a few inches Of the track and
Knocked senseless. tie fell from the plat
form under the cars. Three coaches
passed over both his legs, mangling them
so terribly that they were amputated the
same night. He suffered great agony, and
will continue to suffer all his lite.
At the time of the accident he was a
lawyer of nine years standing. He mad
earned about $1,000 that year, and with
aye and experience hoped to earn from
$4,000 to $4,000 year. HIS practice was
broken up, and his capacity TO pursue his
profession reduced at least two-thirds.
He was forced to abandon all business
for six months at loss of $500. He eX-
pended $50 tor nursing, $3.50 for medical
attendance, and $3.50 for a set of artificial
limbs, which set will have to be replaced
by new one every five years at the same
cost. He was just q years old, OF sound
constitution, and had a good prospect OF
living at least forty years longer. He was
disabled for life. The case will take sew
eral DAYS.

An Interesting Case.

In the City Court at Atlanta Friday an
interesting case was tried. 1t was that
of Austin n Co, of Jefferson, VS.. Tolbert,
HOyt.& 60. Austin ~ CO. claimed to have
bought, IN December, 1884, ten thousand
pounds OF bulk meat of the agent OF Toll
bert, Hoyt g. Co, TO be delivered March !,
1885. The price to be paid was cents
per pound When March came meat was
worth ! and TOlbert, Hoyt a. Co. did not
make the delivery. Austin & CO. wanted
the amount paid when the contract was
made, together with the difference in the
price that they were to pay and what
meat was worth at the time it was to
have been delivered. TOlbert, HOyt 4
Co. claim that the contract was illegal. as
the parties knew they did not deal in bulk
meat, and that it was a straight out gam
ing transaction. The verdict Of the jury
will not be known until Monday.

As our readers know, the editor Of the
Record is very much interested in all
matters pertaining to the material devel-
opment of this section, and especially
river navigation. We believe boats can
run on the upper river as well as from
Montezuma to Warwick Our Congress-
man has been before the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors, and, after having a
conference, the promise was made that the
survey of the river from Moniezuma to
the Old Agency would be provided for in
the bill. So it is beyond peradventure
that the survey will certainly be made.
The river is as good above as it is below
to Drayton, and we see no reason why our
boats should not navigate it. Opening up
this river would be OF vast interest to cur
people, and the people above are very
eager to have boats come up the river. 1t
is not improbable that in less than fifteen
months the citizens of Reynolds and
above will hear the whistle of Montezuma
steam boats.

Sheriff Thomas also went before the
Judge and requested that the prisoners
be released.
Washington Gazette: Mr.. John W.
BUSY, who lives on the Lincolnton road,
owns 100 acres OF common ridge land.
He paid two dollars an acre for it, and be
pays taxes on 1T at this rate. He made,
ir 1885, eight bales OF cotton, 100 bushels
Of wheat. 800 bushels oats, 125 bushels
corn, besides peas, potatoes, etc. He did
all the blowing and hoeing himself, with
the exception OF $50 paid out for extra
labor, most OF which was for saving
grain. He cleared 5000 above expenses
and has loaned out the money. He says
that in 1882 he cleared $1,000 on this
place, and never fails any
years to clear as much or
more as he did last year When ne
! bought the place some of the old farmers,
with an ominous shake Ofth head, sand he
would soon have to quit such poor place
or else starve. The secret of his success
is that he makes all of his supplies at
home. The value to country OF such
farmers is inestimable.
The large well just completed at the ice
works at Macon Is great success, as a
very remarkable supply of water was
found at depth OF about 80 feet. The
wei was uuG ny Tue ala OF very large
steam syphOn driven by the forty horse
power steam boiler of the works. The
sypbon, working under steam pressure
of 30 pounds, discharged $50 gallons OF
water per minute, and during the last
eight hours OF digging on the well the sy-
phon ran continually, but it failed to low
err the water as fast as the diggers went
down. They were obliged to stop with
three feet of water in the we'll and the sy-
phOn discharging at the same time at the
rate of 2l6,000 gallons per day. AS the
water in this well is of a temperature Of
II degrees, it is the opinion OF Mr. Ii. d.
StrattOn, the builder of the machinery.
who has erected many factories in all
parts Of the South and has had practical
experience in both artesian and other
modes of water supply, that this water
must be from an artesian source, as Ordi-
nary we'll water in this latitude is from
81 to % degrees Fahrenheit.

Front the Key West (Fl7.) Democrat.
BY special invitation we were permitted
to witness a novel experiment on
Wednesday afternoon, which was in
tended TO test the efficacy of dynamite
bombs in the capture OF fish in deep water.
On repairing to the market wharf at about
O'Clock, we found the United States Mar
shall, Sheriff, Chief OF Police and num-
Der of other officials of lesser note, to-
gether with select party Of citizens,
perfectlng their arrangements for the eX-
petition. Three small boats had been Sc
cured for the purpose, in which
the party embarked, and which
were subsequently joined by
a zig from the United States revenue
steamer Dix, containing Capt. Fengar,
the Collector Of Customs and Col. W alker
of New Hampshire. The objective point
was found to be hole about % teet deep
in the upper END of the blight, known as
the boiling hole distant but few hun
dred yards from the shore and almost
abreast of the army barracks, where the
fish are known to cOngTegate in large
numbers, and who are apparently so ias-
tidious of taste that the most delicate
bait when placed on a hook, fails to
tempt them. Arriving at the spot, a
cartridge, about 6 inches long,
charged with dynamite, to which had
Deen attached q hedVy piece OF iron III
order to make it go to the bottom, was
thrown in the water. A suspense OF a
few seconds ensued, and then a faint re-
port like the discharge OF a small pistol
was heard, the water became agitated and
was raised about two feet, and immedi-
ately thereafter, within radius of about
so feet, the fish were strewn in all direc-
tiOns. A scene of the widest excitement
followed. Scoop nets We're brought into
speedy use and over 1000 fish of diff
teIent varieties, from the large gray
snapper over three feet in length to the
small, but succulent, sailOrs-chOice were
secured. While pleased at the success
attending Wednesdays experiment, we
cannot but condemn the wholesale de-
struction OF the tinny tribe which must
necessarily attend the unscientific and
willful use Of these bombs. In the pres
ent instance, however, the arrangements
had been so well perfected that we venture
the assertion that not dozen fish were
allowed to escape, but being brought
ashore and judiclOusly distributed en-
tailed benefit on a great many needy
and deserving families

About month ago dog upon Mrs.
Raymer's place, about i've miles north
east OF Cutnbert, was attacked with what
was thought 10 be rabies. He bit a COW,
another dog aud a hog upon the place
and disappeared lie was killed the next
day not far from town. Last Friday the
bitten dog showed unmistakable evidence
OF the disease and was killed. About
neon OF the same day the COW that had
been bitten was seen chasing other cattle
aud whatever else came before her. Steps
were taken 10 confine her. Horace, Mrs
Raymers son, got a rope and went to the
fence near her. She ran at him, and he
put the rope over her horns from the
opposite side Of the fence. The rope was
made fast to a tree, and she was closely
watched 20 see what the result would be.
She would remain quiet for time, then
being seized with trembling, would be-
come frantic and bite fence rails, trees
and everything within her reach. The
saliva meanwhile pouring from her
mouth, and her eyes assuming a dull
leaden color. This continued, the COW at
each paroxysm growing weaker, until
noon on Sunday, when she died. Thehog
that was bitten had manifested no SYM
temps Of the disease last sunday, the day
that the above facts were told us by
Horace Raymer.

Among the recent discoveries in science

than the uses 10 which common ammonia
can be properly put as a leavening agent,
and which indicate that this familiar salt is

preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceed
ingly volatile subtance. Place q small por-
ton of il upon knife and hold over a
flame, and it will almost Immediately be

the air. The gas thus formed Is a simple
composition 81 Nitrogen and hydroyen. No
residue is left from thI ammonia. This
gives is its superiority as leaven.ng Iqwer
over soda and cream of tartar used alone,
and has induced its use as a supplement to
these articles. A small quantity OF ammonia
in the dough is effective in producing
bread that will be lighter. sweeter and
