From he ,Tefsrs9n lGnI Heral

From tie Jefferson tGa.) Herald.
A man who lived in and around Jeffer-
son during the most of last year invaded
the precincts of our town on last Satur-
day evening and whispered around to a
number of the boys that he had wagon
loaded with mountain dew" short dis
lance out of town, and that he would
furnish them with what they wanted at
81 per gallon. The price being exceed
ingly low, and the opportunity so very
good, they were not long in deciding
to patronize their friend. Accordingly,
not long after dark, there was a crowd OF
some twelve or fifteen left tOwn-sOme
afOot, some on horseback and others in
buggies-led by their accommodating
self-sacriticing friend, and ever and anon
to encourage them in their tiresome and
muddy march through the dark, he would
WhiSk from his pocket bottle of the
sparkling "mountain dew" allowing each
to take a pull theretrom, telling them
"this is q sample OF that which | have
for you Just ahead" and again leading off
towards the rising sun, assuring them
that it was but short distance before
the goal would be reached. Arriving at
point on the Danielsville road about two
and half miles from town ne suddenly
defects to the right, and takes settle
ment by-Way, conducting them out into
a dense and tangled forest some consider
able distance from the road, and, after
carefully noting the surroundings, he
stops and announces that this is the place.
Seating himself on the ground, he tells
them to count out their money and he
would take their bottles, jugs, ETC., and
have them filled and be back in little
While. After the money was counted out
and change made, it was suggested that
perhaps it would be well for some one OF
the party to go with him, to which he OBJ
jected, stating that the wagon be-
lOnged to his uncle, and that be
did not want any one but himself
to know where it was concealed,
and consequently, with his load of bottles,
jugs and money, he leaves, promising to
return IN few minutes. The few min
utes passed and heightened into hours,
and yet he came not, and the band of aDX-
ious aud eXpectant watchers were unre-
warded for their tireless vigil. At last
the morning dawned and the king of day
began his ascent up the eastern sky and
found them still at their post, but growing
DISCOURAGED and restless. From this time
they began 30 break OFT one ut a time, and
returned to their respective homes.
This reminds us of a snIpe hunt during
the war. We guess these parties VIII be
more careful in the future about what
kind OF bait they bite at. From reports
they We're fleeced of about 500.

The Western Part of AIachua.

OtttTtooCtttc
Comparatively few of the citizens of
Alachua county have anything like
proper conception of the immense area OF
territory comprised within its limits, or
the thousands of unoccupied acres of land
within its borders. That portion living
north and northeast OF a line running
across the county from Joella in the d.
rection Of JonesVille and Archer, IS by
many considered to comprise the greater
portion Of the county. SucI is far from
the fact. Outside OF this area there is "A
large scope of country lying southwest OF
Newnansyllie, embracing some Of the best
farming and timbered lands in the State.
From Newnansyllle, twenty miles north
OF Gainesville, TO the extreme southwest
ern part of the county the distance is
nearly fifty miles. Eight miles southwest
from Newnansvllle is the starting point
of an exte slve pine forest, with sue
cession Of hills, not high, but gently I'M
dulatlng, like the waves Of me Atlantic.
one after another, for miles and miles.
This continues 10 the extreme southwest
ern corner OF the county. including an
area of about forty miles in length and
from fifteen TO twenty-five miles in breadth.
This large tract OF country is honey
cumbed with subterranean passages
through which streams of water contin-
ually flow. This is the part OF Alacnua
county Wnlcu IL CeleDfate0 Tor us natural
wells, hundreds Of them having been dis
covered. They consist OF openings at the
surface which lead To the subterranean
passages and streams below. The whole
face of the country has the appearance OF
having been specially designed for the
building Of large city, the streets being
already graded and n perfect system Of
sewerage constructed by nature. The
timber in this section is exceptionally
fine. Those who nave Travelled over Flor
ida and most Of the Southern states az.
sert that nowhere nave they seen so many
aud 30 large and tall pines. singular AZ
IL may appear one can travel for miles and
miles in this locality without seeing
habltation. This vast expanse Of land,
being without trans ortation facilities, is
at this time re sarded with less favor than
other localities; but when provided with
al outlet, which cannot be long DELAYED,
its splendid timber, productive soil and
healthful climate will cause it to be rap
idly settled. 1t is claimed that this par
tcular section is the home OF the peach,
trees attaining their greatest perfection
and seldom fail TO make crop. A visit
TO this part Of Alachua county would
prove interesting and instructive, If not
profitable.

The Jennings Heirs.

From the AheHs fGG.I Banasr- Watchmdn.
Mr.. G. w. Reynolds, of our city, is the
head centre in the State ofGeorgia for the
Jennings heirs. Mr.. Reynolds receives
daily large number of letters from all
parts ofthe State inquiring after the status
Of the Jennings estate. There is about
$500, 600. 600 involved in this estate, and
about 500,00O.00 Of heirs who are in
terested. This will make the division
small, but II 1t is ever settled It will put
the money In circulation. During this
wet spell Jennings heir could make
more money choDpng cotton AZ 30 cents
a day than 70 wait for their fortune. The
best regulated banks have just concluded
TO advance money TO the Jennings heirs on
the prospect. The most OF the heirs can
have one consolation, and that Is that
they have a large fortune in England, but
To get this fortune in cash is a question.

Col. Towers, principal keeper Of the
penitentiary, said Tuesday morning in re-
Spouse to an inquiry: 81 have entered
this morning the first commitment or a
white woman since my term OF once, ana
from the description she is rather an at
tract1ve prisoner. OF fair face, black hair
and eyes and good figure. She is
Miss Isabella Roney and goes to the
penitentiary for life. You remem-
Der she and her mother went over to the
house of a neighbor, Mrs. Millirons, and
made an attack upon her. Mrs. Roney's
son accompanied them, but took no hand
in the difficulty until young Mllllrons ran
in to protect his wife; then he joined his
mother and half sister, and the three beat
young Millirons to death. Since then
Mrs. Roney has escaped punishment, on
this earth at least, by dying, her son has
been sentenced to be hanged, and her
daughter has just been committed to the
penitentiary for life"
Around Jasper it has been raining for
six weeks so constantly that the ground
has not been dry enough to pillow. Wheat
is sprouted and growing in the shock.
Oats that are cut are in the same cOndl-
ton; those not cut are falling down so
that they cannot be saved. The low bot
toms of corn are drowned out, and the
most of the uplands are overrun with
grass and weeds. Monday evening, four
miles west of Jasper, on the headwaters
of Sharp mountain creek and Talking
Rock, they had what the people call a
waterspout. The creeks were higher than
ever known, washing away wheat, oats,
fencing, mills and milldams. Some of the
citizens are in town asking permission of
the Ordinary to place gates across the
public roads to save their crops left on the
hillsides. They claim that more actual
damage Is done to the farming interests
than was done by the great cyclone, eX-
cept that no lives were lost in the flood.

"FACE TO FACE"

The following beautiful poem by Paul
H. Hayne, published in the May Harper 8
possesses a peculiar interest now that the
loved Southern poet is gazing ION tbs
glory of love in the unveiled face o.
DEATH"
Sad mortal couldst thou but know
What truly 1t means TO die,
The wings OF thy soul would glow,
And the hopes OF thy heart beat high;
Thou wouldst turn from the Pyrrhonls
schools,
And laugh their jargon to scorn,
As the babbe of midnight fools
Ere the morning of truth be born,
But 1. earths madness above.
In kingdom OF stOrmless breath
| gaze on the glory of love
In the unveiled face Of Death.
tell thee his face is fair
As the moon bows amber rings.
And the CLEAN in his unbound halr
Like the flush of a thousand springs;
His smile is the fathomless beam
OF the star-shine's sacred light,
When the summers of southland dream
In the lap of the holy Night;
For |, earth's blindness above,
In kingdom of halcyOn breath
J. gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
In his eyes a heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for earth's farewells
Half burrows that shining brow;
Souls taken from Times cold tide
He folds to his fostering breast.
And the tears OF their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts of rest;
And still, earth's madness above,
In kingdom of stormless breath,
gaze on "a light that is love,
In the unveiled face Of Death.
Through the splendor of stars impaired
In the glow of their far-off grace,
He Is soaring world by world,
With the souls in his strong embrace:
Lone others, unstirred by wind,
AT the passage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
The fash of his winged retreat;
And |, earth's madness above,
Mid kingdom of tranquil breath,
Have gazed on the lustre of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
But beyond the stars and the sun
can follow him still on his way,
TIL the pearl white gates are won
In the calm of the central day.
Far voices of fond acclaim
Thrill down from the place of souls,
AS Death, with a touch-lik flame,
UnclOses the goal of goals;
And from heaven of heavens above
God speaketh with bateless breath
My angel Of perfect love
Is the angel men cali Death!

PLUCK WILL WIN.
How 1t Secured a Coal Miner a Fine
Position.

From the Chattanooga Times.
There is nothing like a little persever-
ance and pluck, and 40 one can testify
more heartily to this fact than Thomas c.
Blakney, young miner at Soddy. He
came to Tennessee from England q few
years since, and landed at Chattanooga.
Being an entire stranger, he was unable
to find any ready work, and removed 10
Soddy and went to digging coal in
the mines. Last March he requested
gentleman of this city to assist
him in getting other employment. Blak-
ney is very intelligent aud bright, and be
ing a fine penman and accountant, the
gentleman suggested that he make an
effort to get position in some OF the de-
partments at Washington, and advised
him to stand An examination before the
Civil Service Commission. Last April,
during the food, Blakney in some way
learned that the commission was in Knox
vile to examine applicants. No trains
were running to Chattanooga and his only
chance TO reach Knoxville in time was TO
walk acress the mountains to Cleveland.
lie crossed the river when il was at the
highest tide on raft of logs. then
tugged through the mud 10 Cleveland,
arriving there just twenty minutes before
the last train left which would take him
to Knoxville in time for the examination,
He went before the commission with
dozens OF others, and after being eX-
amined returned home. Weeks rolled by
and nothing was heard from Washington,
but he persevered, aud his patience was
rewarded. On saturday last he received
telegram from Hon. Eugene Higgins,
Cniet Appointment Clerk, stating That he
had received an unusually hish per-
centage in the examination, and had been
a fa1 IN pl ark alt in m
Treasury Department. He left at once
for WASHINGTON.

The ordinance concerning Migrants will
cut a little closer to the mark than did the
old one under which we have had our
''vags," etc disposed Of for several years.
Under the old ordinance a person able to
support himself and without visible means
Of support, and who should be found
leading a worthless and immoral life, was
deemed a vagrant and dealt with accord
ingly. But under the new ordinance it
makes no difference how much visible
meant of support be may have-in fact,
he may have his thousands, and yet if he
is able to support himself in some re
spectacle calling, and is found leading a
worthless and immoral life, he is liable
under the ordinance and may be put to
work on the streets if need be. A rigid
enforcement of this ordinance will make a
''rattlin0 among the dry bones in Chey

Articles of incorporation of the FREE
mont, Elkhorn 4 Missouri Valley Rail
road company were fled in the office of
the, county clerk yesterday. From an ex-
animation Of the papers, it appears that
the company has a capital stock of$5, 000,-
900, which is divided into shares, and it
also appears to have, or proposes to have,
quite a number OF branches, one of which
as we already know is beginning to make
its way through Wyoming and which, for
the sake of%convenience is generally called
the Northwestern, although here in Wyo-
ming its legal name is the Wyoming Cen
trail, or rather the company in this terri
tory is known as the Wyoming Central
Railroad company. From the articles it
appears that the company has contempla-
ted the construction of branches in vari-
Gus directions, but it does not appear very
clearly.what particular necessity there is
for the same company to have so many
aliases in the same state or .tel ritory.

ARRESTED AND JAILED.
An Alleged Horse .Crook" Caught and
VIII Have TO Explain.

Some days ago j. H. Wyatt, Of Chey-
enne, discovered in the possession Of
another gentleman, also a resident Of this
city, a horse which belonged to him and
which on a comparison ofnotes the gentle
mar alluded to claimed had been sold to
him by a party named John Bailey who
had gone out into the country. The mat
ter was reported to Sheriff Craig, who at
once set about ascertaining the where
abouts of Bailey, in which effort he was
successful, as it was ascertained that the
gentleman alluded to had gone out to
Dyer's ranch, where he had obtained a
situation for a short time. On Tuesday
a warrant for the arrest of Bailey was
taken out before Judge Fisher, and early
yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Nc
Gonigle started out to find his victim. He
found Bailey at Dyers' ranch and took
him into custody without any remon
STRANGE or attempt to escape on the part
of the accused. He was brought back to
cheyenne, locked up In jail and Will prob
ably have his preliminary examination to-
day.
Bailey admitted selling the horse to the
gentleman in Cheyenne, but claims that
he came by the horse honestly enough,
having bought the animal of a man in
Greeley by the name of Jones.
He claims that he has a bill of sale of the
horse and proposes to send to Greeley for
it in order that the document may be
used in his behalf on the preliminary ex-
animation. When asked by Sheriff Craig
whether he was sure that it was Jones he
bought the horse of or whether it might
not have been Smith. he answered that
he could not be positive about that mat

Without undertaking to give the names
of the owners or builders or the precise

stated that there are at present not far
from twenty-five new residences large and

number of buildings in all in process of
erection in Cheyenne would not fall far,
if any, short of fifty.

SUPERINTENDENT Nolan, of the Cheyenne
water system, last evening for the first
time this spring started the water to run
ming into Lake Minnehaha. A variety
of causes have interviewed to prevent the
turning in of the water before, one of
them being that the ditch has not been
clear Of rubbish so that when a slight fall
Of snow occurred the ditch would choke
up and thereby divert the water from the
ditch and send 1t broadcast over the
plains. Lake M~innehaha for some years
has not been filled to its utmost capacity,
but there now appears 20 be no valid
reason why with such an abundance of
water as we have this spring, il should
not be filed to the high water mark and
kept there during the season.

We have concluded at the expiration of
our present copartnership, to change our
business from the mercantile to the land
and cattle business. With this object in
view, we will on Tuesday, April 20, place
our entire stock of dry goods, clothing,
boots, shoes, hats, millinery and every
thing contained in our stocks at Cheyenne
and Fort Fetterman on the market at job
bers' wholesale prices, for cash.
This is the largest closing out sale ever
made in the territory, and considering the
large stock and our well-known business
principles, is sufficient to the public that
there never was such an opportunity to
buy goods before. We invite the mer-
chants of the surrounding country to this
sale, as our stocks are now complete with
all the newest style goods. This being
the closing out and end of our mercantile
business, We request all knowing them
selves indebted to us to call and settle at
once. O. +. CowHICK.
