THE GEORGIA Way.

AT country church in Coffee county,
George, few days since, man who
was disturbing public worship was
killed by the preacher in charge of the
church. Trouble had existed in the
church, one faction favoring the reten-
ton of the pastor and the other favor
ing his dismissal. The factional fight
grew very bitter, and the trouble
reached climax last Sunday when the
pastors friends voted him in for an
other year. One of the members most
bitterly opposed the pastor approached
the pulpit where the reverend gentle
man was sitting and engaged in conyer-
sation with him. They became very
much excited, and finally the member
raised his hand and dealt the preacher
sharp blow on the cheek. The pastor
demonstrated with his assailant, but be
struck the preacher again and again.
accompanying the blows with a prOfu-
sion of vile epithets and also splitting
in the minister's face The minister
drew his knife and stabbed his assailant
repeatedly. Women screamed and the
men looked on aghast, while the unfor-
tunate man fell down in the pulpit and
died. The friends of the minister hur-
ried him out, and it is reported that he
has fled the country.

The Live Stock Indicators annual
report shows the receipts of cattle dur
ing the past year at Kansas City to
have been l ,O56. 603, an increase of SS7.-
479; of hogs, 2,0l0.s47, a decrease of
410,4ll, of sheep. 35l ,4S1, an increase of
al, 279. The average of the lowest
prices paid during the year for hogs
was S3.624 against 1884 in 1887, and the
average of the highest prices paid, $3.50
against $40 last year. The general
condition of the western cattle trade is
much better than year ago, although
the general average of prices paid the
past year was not appreciatively higher
than last year. The receips of cows,
native and range, have been unusually
large. The quality of the grass anc
range was somewhat better.

Many an old-timer of this country
who has experimental with the quick
sands of the Medicine river may not
know for certain what quicksand is,
and for their benefit we will give def
milton from Science: "Quicksand is
composed chiefly of small particles of
mica mixed largely with water. The
mica is so smooth that the fragments
slip upon each other with the greatest
facility, so that any heavy body that
displaces them will sink and continue
to sink>until solid bottom is reached.
When particles of sand are ragged ang-
ular any weight pressing on them will
crowd them together until they are
compacted into solid mass. A sand
composed of mica or soapstone, when
sufficiently mixed with water, seems in.
capable of such consultations

The convention of lawyers that met
in Fort Scott last week represented
about two thirds of the counties of the
proposed southern district. The major
ity of the counties not represented by
delegates, were represented by resolu
tions expressing favorable feeling on
the part of their respective bars
towards the movement. Strong resolu'
lions were passed presenting the mat
ter to congress, and arrangements made
to send a committee to Washington to
press it. The convention was in every
respect a representative body, and is
considered a success.

who last week roughly ordered the set
tiers away from Oklahoma City have
been instructed to attend to their own

until to- day when more than forty set
