From the AtheaS (Ga.) Banner Watchman.
Steve Perry is a loquaclous colored gem
tleman, who attends to the temporal
wants of numbers of our bachelors. Now,
if there is anything that Steve likes, it is
"A good cigar, and il there is anything that
Steve dislikes. it is to pay for one, and In
order 10 appease his appetite for the fra
grant Havana, and at the same time not
disturb his finances, Steve considers it
perfectly consistent with his views of
religion and ne has some decided reli-
gious opinions peculiar TO himself to APP
proprate any lonesome looking cigar that
he chances to discover. Knowing this
propensity OF his faithful valet" DR..
John Crawford, with malice afOrethought
deliberately concealed within the folds OF
one of his most fragrant "twofor's" fire
cracker and carelessly LAYING it down
where Steve would be most ant to find 1t.
went of to conceal his emotion and medit-
ate on human depravity. steve, in his
peram mutations, stumbled upon the inVit-
ing and innocent looking missive. and at
once appointed himself an APPROXIMATION
committee of one, and proceeded to dis
charge the duties of tnat committee.
After lighting his fortunate find and
putting complacently Tor a few moments.
the cigar proceeded to discharge its duty
also. A clear, sharp pistOl-lke report
broke the stiffness Of the early morning
air, and howl as if some one was shot
came from the recesses of Crawford's
laboratory, Immediately followed by peals
of laughter from Crawford, Sledge and lit
tie Bradeen, who were breathlessly await
ing the denoument OF Mr.. Crawtord's
deep laid plot. When the smoke cleared
away Steve's face looked like a
scorched rubber shoe, and the air OF in
nocence which usually illuminated his
cOuntenance had completely faded away.
Steve has concluded to stop sampling
John Crawiord's cigars.

Over 200 buildings have been erected in
st. Augustine within the last year, rang

his vacant lot south of the barracks, at
st. Augustine, to Mr.. Smith, of Illinois,

sold last year for $500.
The editor of the Key West Equator has
ordered new outfit, and will resume
publication within two weeks. The pro-
pretor of that paper had only a few
weeks previous to the fire purchased a
large COttrell and Babc0ck press, which
he had just got in running order.
r. I. Fitzpatrick, of Barlow, made a
profitable real estate sale a few days ago.
He sold a small lot which be bought only
a few months ago for $3.50, for 81, 900, and
reinvested az once in Barlow. In less
time than 81 hours after he invested his
$1,000 he was offered $1,000 for his bar
gain, thus making his $3.50 realize 81, $50.

mankind in general.
The negro boy who shot and killed MIR.
Porter at Orange Point, last year, was
put on trial before the Circuit Court at
Palatka Saturday, sufficient number of
jurymen having been obtained from the

made to prove the boys responsibility

brilliant colOrs after night set in for
several days after the fire. The hose is
put to it, and it is kept in check, but it is
rather an unmanagable affair. The one

The ice pile has an odd peakish look. The
ice is melting away rapidly under the sun
heat, fire heat and water. We hope for
renewed supply before this is all gone.

The following splitting story is true.

most positive instructions given him was
to throw nothing out of window. One
morning the boy was in one Of the upper
rooms cleaning up" when the lady heard
water trickling from the roof of asshed up
on which a window opened from the
room where the boy was. She knew that
her orders had been disobeyed and that
a slop-tub's contents had been emptied
upon the roof Going Immediately to the
boy she upbraided him for his miscOn-

Mad Docs at Center.

From, the Athens tC1G.} banner Waterman.
MIR. John Stone, who lives at Center,
tells us that there is great excitement at
that village over mad dogs. He says that
dogs which were bit by rabid animal
up there, are showing signs of that fatal
disease on all hands, while the carcass OF
the COW that died from hydrOphObia was
devoured by other dogs, and the prospect
is that eVerv dog or other animal around
there may become affected. The fear and
excitement of the people is intense, and a
war Will probably be made upon the av-
erage canine, and not one will be left to
show that there ever was such an animal
as a dog in that neighbOrhOod. Let the
good work go on.

A Snring Poem.

From me LaFaye4e (Ga.) Messenger.
We had prepared a warm and feeling

begun to'palpitate like a churn dash when
thinking of flowers and love, but just as
our pen was laid aside with the poem that
was to make us famous. completed, old
winter jumped INTO tue lap of spring and
choked her warm throat terribly, until
the tears run down her cheek, and then
attempting TO blow the tears OF. they
were frozen. Our poem is now tied with
a dark string, and until poor spring re-
covers we shall in sorrow mourn her cru
ell torture. Surely life, and especially
spring. Is liable 70 cold and freezing

The Crops.

We have favorable reports from all por-
tions of the surrounding country as to the
condition of the crops so far as it depends
upon cultivation; bnt there is general
complaint of lice on the cotton, which 9TH
erwise is doiug well and with more than
average stands. The prevailing dry wealth
or Just suits the young plant, nor has it as
vet injured corn on the river, but has, we
learn, materially retarded it in the hills
where there has not been good season,
except in the southwestern portion Of the
paaish, for more than six weeks. An in
spection of the crops on Bayou DeSaird
yesterday (Friday) from buggy impress
es us most fovorabl with their condition,
though it was apparent that both corn and
cotton are backward-the former yet hard.
ly preparing to tassel, and the latter, though
clean and growing, having only just been
brought to stand. 1t is, of course, too
soon for predictions.
