A False Alarm.
From the Retdsrtue (Ga) Enterprise.

From the RetdsufLte tGd) Enterprise.
One of Our young townsmen had an ex-
perience last week he will not soon forget.
He was blowing in field on the outskirts
of the village and stepped on a rattlesnake.
He killed it; then, certain that he had been
bitten on the leg, he stripped up his pants,
corded his leg tightly with a suspender,
mounted the horse and rode Gilpin-like into
the village, shouting with all his might for
DIR. Rogers. The doctor, by the way, has
quite a record vs. snakebites.) Quite a num-
Der of sympathetic town5men gathered,
and one. luckily, had some of the regular
snakebite antidote, which he was in
the act of administering, when the
doctor arrived. With great difficulty, and
with both hands, the sufferer placed his foot
in a chair, and the doctor began to hunt for
the puncture. During the examination the
youth was grooming dismally and making
promises even saint would find it difficult
to keep After a time the doctor said
there was no bite on that leg, and suggested
an examination of the other. 1t failed to
show any sign, and both arms underwent
examination with a similar result. The
young man had not been bitten. So intense
was the sympathy of the crowd that the
young man who owned the antidote took a
rousing precautionary dose, and all the by
ISLANDERS would have followed suit if they
could have gotten hold on the bottle.

A Thriving Little Town-Railroad En-
erprises-Magnificen Pine Forests.
STILLMoRE, EMANUEL COUNTY, GA. June
H.-Among the embryo towns which are
springing up within the borders of this
state. and whose rapid growth and prom
ising prospects form feature of the indus
trial development of Georgia, may be men-
toned StilImore This flourishing little
town owes its origin to the enterprise of the
well-known naval stores firm of Crimson d.
Brinson, formerly of Midwife, GA. 1t was
founded about Is months ago, and its loca-
ton is in the heart of one of the most mag
nificent pine forests the writer has ever
seen.
THE ROGERS AND SUMMIT RAILROAD.
Leaving'the Central railroad cars at
Rogers station, we were soon seated in the
passenger coach of the Rogers and Summit
railroad, owned by Messrs Wadley and
Malsby, and shortly afterward our train
pulled out for Summit, which we reached
after a ride of 20 miles Summit is the
present terminus Of the Rogers and Sum
NIT railroad and is quite an important
town. From there to Stllmore it is about
IL miles, and pleasant drive of an hour
and half through the majestic pine forest
broken here and there by pretty farms
and cosy farm houses with neat gardens
and attractive looking orchards-brought
us TO our destination.
The Rogers and Summit railroad is being
rapidly extended toward Stillmore by
Wadley & Malsby, and is Under contract
to be completed aud cars running by Oct.
|. next The extension is 10 miles in
length, which will make the distance from
Rogers on main line of Central railroad to
Stillmore just about 30 miles,
IMPORTANT RAILROAD PROJECT
1t may be Of interest here to state that
the objective point Of Messrs. Wadley q
Malsby in extending their line, is Reidsville,

have been informed ION worry good authority
that Messrs. Dale. Dixon a. Co of Savan-
nah, are now rapidly extending their rail-
road line out from Josselyn ION s. +. q w.
railway toward Reidsville, SO as to ulti-
mately connect there with Wadley 4
Malsby's road. The Importance of these
two private railroad enterprises cannot be
overestimated. In fact l may remark, the
extension and development of the saw
mill" or lumber railroads in Georgia find
parallel nowhere else in the south. Wadley
q Co. are said to have been the pioneers"
in that direction, and to have operated the
first regular railroad built in Georgia solely
for the use of u saw mill.
II is further reported that after the two
lines above mentioned connect at Reidsville
a line will be connected from Josselyn to
Of the natural outlets for Georgia timber.

THE HASTE FOR RICHES.
The Evils That the Desire for Speedy
Wealth Bring About.
From the Forum.


1t leads to crooked dealing. In so excit-
ing a chase an advantage is not to be missed
because of ltsle question of right and
wrong. A lie here, a cheat there, these are
the everyday occurrences by which to get
around the neighbor or the custom house or
the stockholder A bride well placed is a
stroke Of genius. Employers are trained
in deception, and the community is morally
corrupted. Legislatures, whom we trust
for our laws become the paid servants of
the gold hunters, and justice is polluted in
our courts. The madness that possesses the
man who is chasing after wealth knows no
bounds. His moral code is completely set
aside in the sphere of his money making.
Principles that he would count most inn
portant in a theory of morals are wholly in
operative in his financial career. He
slaughters widows and orphans with his
fiscal sword, he remorselessy sends his rival
to pauperism and suicide, he manufactures
false stock and seiZes upon Illegal dividends
and he uses the confidence of the unsuspect-
ing for their ruin. This system. rapidly
growing upon us, is poisoning the whole
public body, and making lying and stealing
and fraud subjects of merriment where
they should be provocatlves of indignation
and retrbution. So possessed is the public
mind of this idea of our modern money
hunters that even the perfectly innocent
man Of wealth cannot escape the imputa-
ton that his money was gotten by ways
that are dark. The people have almost
come to believe that great wealth implies
great rascality. 1t is a very false judg-
ment, and yet the reason for it is in the
evident rascality with which so many have
grasped their gold.
The injury done to the family is also an
injury to the state, for the family is the
unit of the state. Where the men of fam
lily are in the wild pursuit of wealth the basis
OF family affection and morality cannot ex-
ist. That basis is mutual conference and
ultimate condolences. But the gold chase
gives no time for this. The man is sort of
boarder in his own house. He fits in and
out like stranger. His heart is elsewhere.
So wife and children are without their
proper guide and stay. They seek for
amusement in questionable quarters. They
find other centers than the home. The hus-
band (house bond, if that be the right origin
of the word is not in his place. and the
household is disintegrated. Disorders of
every sort enter such family, and the in
crease of wealth only intensifies the symp-
toms.

The production of lead in the United States for the year 1887 was l60,7OC short tons, valued at $14,463, ,00O, at S90 per short ton. The heavy in crease of 'desilverized" lead flom ll4,829 short tons in 1886, to l35, ,525 in 1887 was probably due to the i'm portation of Mexican lead-silver ores. The large product of non-argentiferous lead, p, l4S short tons, is due chiefly to the development of the St. Joe dis trict Tn Missouri. The production of white lead, ard the several oxides from pig lead. increased to total of about 75,000 short tons.

Heavily Caned.

Last Thursday morning while the editor of Our BazoO was quietly and unpretentiously playing the devil in the office, he was suddenly and uncer- emoniously set upon by Captain Pol hamus of the steamer Gila, who in turn called in Judge Ira Mabbett, of Yuma. The latter gentleman was armed with a magnificent ironwood cane, which he raised high in the air and brought down with dull, sicken- ing thud into the very hands of ye ediCor. Gentlemen, the handsome gift of Yuma to Our BazOo is highly appreciated, and while life lasts it will be treasured by the editor as souvenir and pleasant reminder of the good people of Yuma, and especially of Judge Mabbett and Captain Isaac. Basoo.

Advantages of Irrigation.

There are great advantages in favor of irrigation, which, however, cannot
 be stated in figures. First, that there cannot be any possibility of failure of crops through either drouth or flooding, as is toe often the case in the great agricultural states; and sec ond that the ground is kept in state of constant addition of alluvial wash carried on to it during irrigation. This year, for instance, the summer crops over immense areas of the great "corn belt" are practically failures while in irrigated New Mexico and Arizona the crops are excellent, and the wheat and oats the best ever seen in many parts of the world.
 There are four branches of farming with irrigation that are particularly suited to men with small or moderate capital. First, growing alfalfa hay for sale; secondly, growing alfalfa hay md fattening steers with it; thirdly, raising improved breeds of bulls wherewith t0 tt supply the wants wants ef ranchmen, and feeding alfalfa hay as an additional feed in winter, and fourthly raising fruit.-Ex.
