year-old boy spied it and began playing
with it, telling his S-year old sister to
look into the barrel. While the little
girl was doing this the boy in some way
discharged the weapon, the entire load
taking effect in the child's face. Though
both eyes were shot out and the face hor
ribly mangled, the child bids fair to get

Fish in Georgin.

DR.. Fl. II. Cary, Fish Commissioner OF
the State OF Georgia. says that every river
in the State of Georgia is now stocked
with shad, and that what is needed is the
protection of the fish in what is known as
the ''close PERIOD" which commences on
April 20. This is necessary to the spawn
ing Of the breeding fish. DR.. Cary was
instrumental in procuring the passage by
the last Legislature OF a law designed 20
afford protection. 1t provides for the APP
pOintment OF fish wardens to enforce the
law.
In regard TO carp raising, DR.. Cary says
that, though carp are not the finest fish
for the table, they can be raised in any
pond, while most of the finest varieties Of
fish cannot. He compares the carp with
the hog, which, though not the daintiest
of meat, can be raised in great abundance
and cheaper than otner meats, and thus
affords the most common as well as very
good TODD. DR.. Cary is now making a
tour of the State selecting the wardenS
provided for by the new law.

The Exhibition.

From the Orlando (EId.) Sentinel.
The preparatory work for the coming
South Florida Exhibition continues UNI
abated. The management is determined
to make it a success. and is sparing no
work or money in Its efforts.
The following committee has been APP
pointed to have charge of the ladies' de-
partment, and it will also arrange the
premium list for the departments: Mrs. j.
K. Ingraham, of Sanford. President; Mrs.
j. J. Harris. Mrs. A. NJ. Thrasher, and
Mrs. r. II. Marks, of Sanford, Mrs. J. G.
Sinclair, Mrs. Nat. POyntZ, and Mrs. l.. L.
Wescott, OF Orlando.
One day OF the exhibition will be devo-
ted to athletic sports, such as running,
walking, high and long leaps, throwing
the hammer, etc. Some OF the young En-
glishmen and Scotchmen in this county
will participate and the young Americans
must prepare themselves for the contests,
or they will be badly defeated.
There will be racing during the exhibit
ton. Promises have been made to bring
horses from Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir-
GINA and Georgia for trotting, running
and pacing races. Races will also take
place between local horses.
T. B. Aldrieh, architect, is making a
draught Of the main building. The Nov
city Works. Reynolds, Johansen and
some other lumber firms will give lumber
for the buildings.
As the State fair at Jacksonville will be
held Feb. Is and the following four days,
it is very probable the exhibition here will
not be held until the last of February or
the first of March. This will not be too
late for exhibits of the citrus family and
will be early enough for the spring vege-
tables.
MIR. Hamilton DisstOn, of Philadelphia
and Mr.. Nat. POyntz, Of this city, are
among the number Offering special pre-
mlums. Z.

Faced by Erin's Woe.

From, the La Grange (Gd.l Reporter.
The system OF borrowing from Eastern
and Northern capitalists on our lands
may yet turn the south into an Ireland
aud put upon her the curse OF an alien
landlord Sun. 1t is bad enough to mort
gage the farm tOihOme capital, but it is far
money power of the North. The plausible
ness OF the scheme is ouly bait To
catch our unsuspectiug farmers. The
result will be that the farm will be pluck
ed when the mortgage is ripe, and there
can be no appeal. No mercy, no exten-
sion of time need be expected from
strangers, who are only too glad to gobbie
up our lands at a ruinOus loss to their
former owners. With eviction of tenants
and merciless rapacity Of capital, the cuI
OF our prOveTty-stricken people will bt

An Old Murder Recalled.

rom tNe GQTNeNpttte kUQ.l MtQiHtCF.
Mr.. Lewis Farrow, who was raised in
the neighbOrhood where Cradd0ek Lowe
lived, and committed the crime for which
he paid the death penalty, is familiar with
all the circumstances, having heard them
from persons who were living at the time.
The crime was committed near the resi-
dence of Jed Ayers, about miles from
Hatton's ford, and in that part OF Frank
lin since cut of to Hart county. He muir
dered a man named Duncan in the public
road alongside Jed Ayers field. Duncan
was driving a four horse team, and a
woman was walking behind the
taken by Lowe, who asked
why he did not let the woman ride. Dun
can replied that he did not know her and
did not choose to take her into his wagon.
Lowe alighted from his horse and cut a
heavy chestnut stick, rode up by the side
OF Duncan and asked him If he was going
to let the woman ride. He answered that
he would not. Lowe struck him on the
back of the head with the stick, he fell
from his horse and the wagon wheels
passed over his body. He died upon the
buried until the third day after the
murder. Duncan was buried near the
place where he was killed; Mr.. FarrOw has
seen his grave often, and Jed Ayers pointed
out to him the cluster OF young chestnuts
that grew from the stump, from which
Lowe cut the stick. The place where the
murder was committed is known as Dun
can hollow, and is said to be haunted.
The time has been when there were many
persons, who would not pass the place
alone after night, for any consideration.
Craddock Lowe was hung under large
oak, a half mile from where the court
house is now located, and about the spot
where the Methodist parsonage now
stands. John l. Mitchell, an old citizen
OF the county, long since dead, was pres
ent at the execution, and many years ago
pointed out the place to Mr.. FarrOw.

A Negro Family Turning White

In clinical lecture at the College
of Physicians and Surgeons last
evening DR.. Henry S. Reynolds called
attention to the peculiar case of a col
ored boy in the city whose skin is grad
ually turning white. Such cases are
rare, the doctor said, but this case
was especially peculiar in that, while
the father and mother of the boy
were both negroes, the mother and
Six OF the twelve children were also
spotted. One of the remaining child
rem had white hair over part of his
scalp, while the other five were all
black. The change in all the spotted
members of the family began while
they were still young. The disease
which causes this change was known
as vitiligo, and was probable due TO
an impaired function of the nerves
that presided over the nutrition of
the part, which produced an imper-
feet supply or distribution of the pig

The family are all otherwise healthy.
