A REMARKABLE w ELh.
Things Discovered i'm an Old Plan
tatiOn Well.

tation Well.
From the Albany (Gd.l Neeos and a advertiser.
A well was dug in the centre OF a large
negro quarter owned by Benjamin S. Jor-
dan, In the western part Of this county,
about the year 1916. The plantation is
known as Coolewahee, now owned by
Col. John p. Fort. The we'll of water
was an excellent one. and the stream
that supplies il is so bold that it has al
ways been considered impossible to
draw it sufficiently low to clean 1t out.
Therefore, from tue time it was dug, now
forty years ago, it has been constant ly
used without being cleaned out.
Az short time since, at the end OF this
dry season. under the superintendent of
MIR. John IL. Strange, who now resides
on the place, q colored we'll digger by the
name OF Adam Lofley was obtained, who
undertook TO draw the water of and clean
the well. BY unusual eXertions and BY
using a very large bucket the water was
drawn off within less than three feet OF
the bottom, and the following articles
were drawn up from the well, the deposits
of forty years from continual use in a
large negro quarter:
Two live craw-dsh, threepocket- knives,
three pipes and pipe stems, one cannon
pin, one hoopskirt, two bucket lids, piece
OF hand-saw, old shoes, old pieces OF
plows, two bucket balls, one snuff box
one lot of irons, part of u buggy, wagon
band, several cleyis irons. pieces OF plank,
tin cups, pieces OF chair, pieces OF glass.
old bottles, hoe, window SASH leather, brass
pins, wire, rocks, bricks, chains, hoes,
whip handle, broom handle, old wool hat,
large iron bucket. small iron bucket, iron
rims, pieces Of key, spikes, iron bolts,
nails, taps, heel pins, screws. sardine
box, lightwood torch, bed roller, can ca,
pistol shell, iron ring, iron quot, pieces
of earthen ware, plate gin box, cloth,
acorns, wood, sticks, mud, etc.
The above list WAS taken by gentle
man at the well at the time they were
being drawn up.
The two crawiish taken from the well
are In form the same crustacea as the Or
binary land crab, or crawtlsh,
with the exception OF the absence
OF the organ OF sight and the dit.
ference in color, these being perfectly
white. Having no need in the dark sub
terranean stream for eyes, nature has
herein shown her adherence OF useless
organs. Ithas deprived all animals that
inhablt the darK waters OF caves OF the
organ OF sight. The fish found in the
! waters that flow through the Mammoth
Cave are sighlless.
These crawfsh are supplied with long,
/ sensitive anlenu9, or ieelers, which take

Pensacola Advanoe-Ga zette: 1t is so
long since we heard of "bOunty jumping"
that we thought its day was past, but it
seems still TO be practiced to some extent.
as an officer from Atlanta went down to
Fort Barrancas few days since and ar
rested a soldier who had deserted his
command at the Atlanta barracks and
re.enlisted. in either the Artillery or
Marine Corps.
At Pensacola Wednesday evening
about O'Clock one Lafayette Hamilton
(colored) was run over by engine No. Gil,
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
just above the Union depot, and was in
stantly killed. Justice Esmonde, ex.
otficio Coroner, impanneled q Jury of
inquest, who brought in a verdict to the
effect that Hamilton came to his death
through his own neglect, as the railroad
company had adopted every precaution
to prevent such occurrences. Hamilton
was killed right near the spot where two
or three others had met similar fate.
day there was enacted in this city, near
the old public school house, a scene
which exhibited In It's strongest lights
that charity which is most acceptable to
God. IL seems that there has been going
to the public school little boy who is
very badly crippled. so much SO, that it Ia
difficult for him TO walk. Besides being
afflicted he is very, very poor, being an
orphan and dependent upon the pittance
earned by an Odd aunt for his support.
The children OF the public scobol No 1, as
sisted by Prof. Patterson and their
several teachers, proceeded to get
up kind OF Christmas present for
the poor little fellow, and each pupil
brought some gift, which, being placed to-
gether, filled some three or four large
hampers. The children then formed in
column, some bearing the hampers and
other articles, which could not be placed
in them, and in this way proceeded to The
little fellows house and laid their Offer
ings at his feet. AS 10 VINO was the hap
piest, the receiver or the givers, 1t is diff
cult TO say, but one thing is sure, that one
OF Gods little creatures, whom He has
seen fit TO afflict, has been made by the
charitable hearts Of his schoolmates to
forget fox time his misfortune, and to
enjoy the coming anniversary OF the
Prince OF Peace.
