| LasV winter HUE son OF REV. ID. \.
Morrison, of Atlanta, had an attack OF
scarlet fever and it became necessary for a
surgical operation called trachoeotomy. The
air passage was stopped by a muous mem
brane, aud a tube had t. be inserted by an
lncislon in his throat into the windpipe, that
he might breathe. Last week DR.. Morrison
took the little fellow to New York, where
he underwent surgical operation in which
another tube was inserted in the windpipe
| Dr. Morrison telegraphed that the opera
tion had been performed, and that the
| symptoms were very favorable Before
leaving Atlanta several physicians had ex-
amined the little fellow and stated that his
case was hopeless.
There Is more enthusiasm and unanimity
among the people of Elberton upon the
school question, so far, than has ever been
seen before. 1t is hoped this state of things
| will continue, and If it does, Elberton can
safely count on having not only one of the
finest school buildings, but one Of the best
schools i'll this part of the state. All seem
to be agreed on having but one school, and
in favor Of issuing bonds by the town to
! build the house. 1t is believed the people
will vote almost unanimously in favor of
both propositions An election on the ques
/ tion of For joint schools" or Against
joint schools" will be held on July IL.

Elberton Gazette: For the last two
weeks there has been a company of four
men in Elberton, whose business has been
to renovate featherbeds. They apparently
did good business while here, cleaning
| perhaps $50 or 200 beds They left On Mon
| day last, and before leaving, we learn that
| they shipped ], 100 pounds of feath4rs from
this place to Nashville Tenn. AS it is be-
| lieved that they brought no feathers here
with them, and that all but two or three
persons paid money for having their beds
| cleaned, instead of allowing them to take
part Of the feathers, the people here are at
a loss to know where they got so many
feathers TO ship. 1t looks little suspicious,
and there is considerable talk about it
among those who patroniZed them.
On Tuesday. four miles below Wrights-
| Vile, at Meadows crossing on the Wrights-
vile and Tennille railroad, there was
tragedy of deplorable features. Mr.. Col
bert, in drunken madness, took offense at
his brother, who had on that morning mar
| ried young lady of good standing and
respectability. At the brothers marriage
he drew his pistol and shot his brother
down. and then the desperate man turned
upon Joseph Lovett, who had done nothing
at all to offend the infuriated man, and shot
at him twice. without effect, however, miss
ing his mark The Mr.. Colbert who was
SHOT is in a critical condition. The desper-
ado was arrested and chained and put
under guard of two, but by some way
effected his escape and is now at largo.
A sensation was caused in Dublin by
some hands who were preparing the founda-
tion of 5. A. COrker's new brick building
by digging into an ancient grave. The
stump OF very large China tree was being
dug up, when the spade was buried to an
unusual depth in soft earth, which in color
was of dark brown or yellowish hue.
Further excavation revealed pieces of de-
cayed or rotten pine plank, evidently the
remaining PARTICLES of pine coffin. The
grave was that of a grown persons, but
times eternal touch had removed every
vestige Of flesh or bone. The place where
the grave was discovered was the most
public part Of the town, and within 60 feet
Of the main street leading to court house
square, When the revelation was made
known, soon large number had gathered,
and speculation began 20 to who was the
silent sleeper. Two large China trees were
all that was left to mark this sanctuary of
the dead. They stood for three-quarters
of a century like two grim sentiaels,
and became an inviting place for
the yeomanry to tether their weary
steeds sheltered by their umbrageous
boughs from the merciless rays of the sum
mer sun. The present generation had for
gotten that the graves were ever there
Judge j. f. Rowe, the Oldest inhabitant of
Dublin, furnished the Key to the mystery.
Judge Rowe stated that about fifty fl We
years ago the two trees that had grown to be
monarchs, were about or inches in dia-
meter, the lot was nicely kept and was
known as a graveyard. About ten years
prior to this time there died Robert Cole
man, a merchant, and soon thereafter a
sister Of Coleman, Mrs. Thomas Guyton.
Mr.. Coleman then merchandised in a small
IL K 20 stone house ON the corner where L.
g. Perrys new store now stands. He was
the personification of honesty and his name
the synonym for truthfulness. He accum-
ulated some property wEich descended to
his heirs. The selfsame Robert Coleman
was grandfather of S. T. Coleman, the
wholesale merchant of Macon, Ga, and
Mrs. Guyton his grandaunt.
