dashed on, and the carriage, Striking a teie-
graph pole, upset. A crowd had nov coll
lected and the horses were surrounded and
stopped.
John W. Butler, who was hurt by an At
lanta and West Point train last Friday
afternoon, and had his foot amputated,
took up an idea that the lost member should
be inferred in the family lot at Oakland
cemetery at Atlanta. The city sexton
would not consent TO the burial of the foot
without a burial certificate from the board
of health When application was made 10
the board the secretary, acting under in
structions. refused to issue the certificate.
The foot was prepared for burial and taken
to Oakland Sunday. but the sexton refused
his consent and it was put in the receiving
vault for few hours and then taken away.
1t was subsequently buried in the lot, the
sexton finally yielding. There have been
heretofore three burials of amputated limbs
IN Oakland, the loosers being DIR. Wilson,
A. c. Thurman and Win Wilson.
Waynesboro True Citizen: We are told
by a reliable gentleman who frequently
comes to US from Millen, that the enter
prising developments of that live town
have apparently no stopping place. He
tells us Of a new churn, for which there is
no necessity for a patent. The discovery
was purely accidental, but it nevertheless
works beautifully. There is in Millen a
clear, gurgIng spring, in whose sparkling
waters a lady places her churn filled with
only such rich cream as the COWS of Millen
can alone produce. There are several large
frogs which make this spring their head
quarters. As soon as the churn IS deposited,
either for diversion or pure devilment, these
frogs climb up into the vessel, and then
such high old time in the way of gym
nastic performances are carried on, that in
a very short time the cream Is converted
into butter. and delightful flavor is given
the buttermllk.
Leary Courier: Dick Davis relates the
following story: "When l was a boy my
uncle, Capt. Dickey, owned the LATEST mule
| ever saw. He was 50 lazy that every
negro. ON the plantation refused TO have
anything to do with the mule and he was put
in the lot to enjoy himself. One sunny day
the mule lay down to sleep, and while thus
reposing his apparently lifeless form at
tracted the attention of buzzard that was
clrcling around in the blue vBult above.
The buzzard came down to investigate the
mule, and having satisfied himself that
old Pete was dead, advanced and gave
Pete a singing peck under his tail
by way of commencing operations. Evil
IDENTIFY the buzzard had found the tenderest
point in Pete's anatomy, for before the
buzzard could remove his head Pete had
clamped it under his tail in a grip that
meant death to the unwary bird, and, ris-
ing, was going around the lot with the
speed Of a thoroughbred and believing
with every jump. He ran himself down,
but held on 10 the buzzard until he was
made to release his hold on the then dead
bird. Old Pete lived for seven years after
this, and was just as lazy as he was before,
only no.oaeieEsP saw him lie down until he
died, and If g Remember Alright he died
standing up, The narrow escape from be-
ing eaten alive which be made left lasting
impression on the old mule"
Albany NetOs: Some parties from Phila-
delphia, who visited Albany the past winter,
were so much impressed with our matchless
mineral artesian water that they are taking
great interest in it. They heard of its won
derful cures, drank from its flowing stream
and were completely captivated. On their
return home they wrote to Capt Hobbs to
send some of the water to Philadelphia in
order that they might test it there. Ac-
cordingly Capt. Hobbs shipped ten dozen
bottles, and it must have made some inn
preston as the first request was followed
by second, and few days since
twenty dozen bottles were shipped
The water is being tested by prom

troubles something miraculous That be-
ing the case the water will receive the
greatest advertisement it can get, and its
fame will spread rapidly over the union.
1t will receive the Endorsement of the med
ical profession, which is the strongest in
dorsement it could receive, for then persons
afflicted with kidney and other troubles
would lcome to drink of the healing
waters, who would otherwise ignore
any Recommendation it might re-
xyirt r,f kla
water of Hot Slh-iAgs never came promi-
nently to theHhAcs of the public until the
medical profession recommended it.
A good story Is told on Uncle Rad Nor
row of Jonesboro. On one occasion when
Uncle Rad went to Virginia with clothing
and home-cooked rations for the boys, be
did not get there until late in the evening,
and found the Tenth Georgia in line of bat
tie, so he concluded to stay all night with
the regiment as he had frequently done.
That night about midnight the ''long rollr
| sounded and the alarm was given that the
| federals were advancing by the thousands,
couriers and aids were dashing hither and
yon ordering all hands to look out and be
ready to advance at a moments
notice. Uncle Rad was in a dilemma
| but soon took in the situation. He called
| Justify for a gun and cartridge box; they
| were furnished him, but in the intense ex.
| cltement OF the moment he found the belt
| was too short to reach around him, and
then he thought that he could wear 1t over
his shoulders like an old-fashioned coon
skin shot-bag. This he did, and it drew the
box of cartridges close up to his armpits, &c
that he would have to mount a stump OF
tiptoe to get his hand to it. At last he goi
| himself rugged as a soldier, and straighten
| ing himself to his full six foot two, with
| sigh ne said: snow, let 'em come" TIL,
boys say that it was a false alarm. A
least the federals did not come, and Uncle
| Rad affirms to this day that it was becaus
| they got wind somehow that he was in lin
! with the bloody Tenth, and by being Their
he saved the boys a hard fight.
