Hawkinsville Dispatch: The "hot water
cure" is not altogether a remedy Of the inn
agination, but, where IT is given fair te t,
1t is effecting some wonderful results, For
instance, there is Hon. Tom Paulk, of
! Alapaha, Berrien county, one of the best
| men in this part of Georgia. He had been
| reduced by dyspepsia, Indigestion, or some
other trouble, until he could scarcely walk.
His weight went down from $50 pounds to
| 80 pounds. He tried doctors and patent
medicines until he had wasted to mere
skeleton, and only waited the grim meSsen-
ger of death. He tried the mineral springs
and mountain air Of North Georgia, but
was unable to gain lesh or strength. Then
| he returned home and began drinking cup
of hot water three times day, before meals,
and his weight has increased to l75 pounds.

The chief of engineers, in connection with
the proposed bridge over Oconee river at
Dublin, says that "a continuous bridge can
not be erected over the Oconee river at this
point without serious injury to navigation.
The clear height above extreme high water
Of the lowest member of such a bridge
should not be less than thirty feet, and this
would necessitate very expensive ap-
proaches. A draw span will be needed, and
this should be located in mid-channel, Civ
| ing clear width for navigation on each
side, between piers, at mean low water, of
| eighty feet. The approved project for the
| Improvement of the Oconee river contem-
plates such improvement between its mouth
at the junction Of the Ocmulgee river and
the town of Milledgeville, and, although
Little or no commerce now takes place above
| Dublin, no further obstruction of this sec
ton Of the river should be permitted, unless
the project for its improvement shall be
| abandoned.
AS the passenger train on the eastern
division of the Americas, Preston and
Lunpkin railroad was speeding alcng below
| Seville, day or two ago, the engineer was
not little surprised to see beautiful herd
OF seven deer run out of the swamp near by
| and mount The track just ahead of him.
Engineer Nix blew his whistle, but instead
of leaving the track the deer started down
the road ahead Of the locomotive. The
track was straight as en- arrow for ten
miles, and the de ire for q race with the
tieet-footed denizens of the forest was ire
slstlble The trottle was pulled open, and
the little Gregory lit out with the speed of a
| telegram in pursuit of the herd. For mile
or more the race was kept up, during which
time the locomotive gained steadily, when
suddenly the herd darted from the track
| into the woods. The last to clear the rail
was magnificent buck, and Nix says the
pilot was within 10 feet of him when he
| made the leap.

The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon
Telegraph writes as follows:
The reports to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, there has been no breach Of friendship
| between Evangelist Jones and Evangelist
| Small. 1t was stated last week that Evan
gellst Small was not on friendly terms with
| Evangelist Jones on account of his refusal
to participate i'll his scheme of organizing
| tne national prohibition party III Georgia.
IL was furthermore stated that the two re-
nowned evangelists had pas ed come
cutting remarks at each other after
the speaking the other night at DeGive's
opera house, for the reason that the Evan
gelist Jones had refused to commit himself
to the third party, as promised. These re-
ports were strengthened by the manner in
which Evangelist Small, in his convention,
denounced certain Prohibitionists and a
Methodist minister, who he stated had way
laid Evangelist Jones at the house of sick
sister and tried to keep him from fulfilling
a solemn promise. But the two Evangelsts
are still friends aud hold to each other as
dearly as before Evangelist Small went into
his political scheme.
