| Gainesville Tribune: There is tradition
| in this county that in its early history there
was tribe 81 small people who inhabited
| it whom it was discovered and who were
| here among the I.dians. The tradition is
| that they dWelt in the eastern portion of
| the county, and were much below the size
| of the average man. and almost all as small
1 as q art OF the present day, and were
| wild and shy Of their English intruders, who
| they, like the Indians thought came among
| them as iutruders. At an early date in the
history Of the county they became dis
! satisfied and concluded to emigrate west,
| which they did in a body. We have always
| heard it said ana never disputed that at the
| time the road was cut out to leEd from
| here to Martin, and about the time the
| ha DIS were al work where the one-mile post
| stands, the tribe of small people were seen
| TO cross the new road and move on in a
western direction, and not trace of these
| people has been seen since. Who these peo-
| pie were and where they went has never
| been known.
| At W Ashington, Wednesday, there was a
| meeting OF prominent citizens ia the court
| house for the purpose Of agreeing on a bill
| to be proposed in the July meeting Of the
legislature for the restriction Of the liquor
traffic The bill agreed on was subs an
| TALLY that passed for Rnckdale c0un y, but
with a few changes Liquors, under The
| bill, can be sold only for medical, mechani-
| cal, manufacturing and sacrameltal pur-
| poses. 1t j. to DO sold by a person APP
pointed by the grand jury, aid placed
under 81 900 bond The penalties for vio-
lation are those Of the Rockdale bill. For
medicine it is to be sold by prescription Of

seller shall be allowed to make 80 per cent

on hand. the Wilkes county bill allows a

Joseph DahnenberR of Macon is in a

been advised by his physician 20 go 20
| Europe for the benefit of the sea voyage
| He bought tickets tor himself and members
of his family ut a cost Of $3.50, exOecting t

uty slerif steps in and subpCenas Mr.. Dan
ne berg as a witness for the state in the

the evide co sworn to by Mr.. Dannenberg
! at Voolfolk first trial to be admit ed at tbs
! Perry trial but Capt. Rutherford, Wool

the belief Of the rumor, for proce sdings
were commenced against MIR. Danuenberg

Monroe Advertiser: Through the efforts
Of little daughter to procure coating of
hair for the bald head Of her doll last week,
j. p. hnson of this county discovered
that we have o vegetable quite common IN
this latitude, the inner coating of the bark
of which is comp sed 81 an excellent fibre,
which can be inverted into as good bag
ging as is obtainabe from the jute. Mr..
johnson brought us a small sample, no,
lying on our table, made with his hands
from the fiber of this bark. which is
positive proof of its excellent adaptability
to the purposes Of bagging. 1t contains
fine, thread-like, strong fiber, easily con-
vertible into small or Urge threads that
can be woven without difficulty. This fiber
is superior to that of hemp, and it is
rsaso able to suppose that it can be made
into rope superior to that of the hemp rope.
We Lave submitted the sample before US
TO q number OF farmers; the verdict has
been, that it is amply strong for the pur-
pose Of bagging. Besides, we believe
this bark, properly manipulated, would
make good filing for horse collars,
buggy cushions and other articles of
common use. This vegetable is the ON
mon okra, TO be fouad growing IN almost
every garden, and can be grown luxu-
riantly in any good soil with comparatively
little labor. Hence, you perceive, that in
case of emergency we can grow, on our own
soil, excellent material for hagging, which
subject has bosn much discussed by farmers
for the last eight or ten months. Whether
or not the okra can be so manipulated as to
be made an economical material for the
manufacture Of bagging remains for the
future to develop.
