SanderSVlIle considered Too Small a
Field for His Talents.
SANDERsvILLE, GA, Feb. 10.-For some
time a rumor has been ahoat that Richard
Kilgore, editor Of the Middle Georgia Fro
gress, was preparing to leave town. From
Messrs. Evans and Perry, two Progress en-
ployes, the NEWS correspondent learns the
following: Two weeks ago KilgOre proposed
to Mr.. Perry that they collect what they
could and leave for Chicago, saying that
Sandersville was too small a town to hold
him. Mr.. Perry ref used his proposal and
ask d for settlement, stating that he
could leave. Kugore did not settle and
smooth things over, aid soou afte made the
same proposIt on to Mr. Evans, who also re-
fused it, aud Me srs. Terry and Evans
agreed to watch him.
REPORTED TO THE COMMITTEE.
In the meantime Mr.. Perry had reported
the matter to the executive committee and
the caarge was Investigated by them and
promptly and Indignantly denied 10y XII
gore. Matters moved smoo My for a
week and suspicious were lullei. On
Wednesday of last week Kilgore pre-
pared for a trip to Macon and
Augusta to solicit advertising, and left at
o'clock that night for Macol, since whic a
time nothing has been heard from him.
The report found few believers, as Kilgore
had conducted himself in such manner as
to make many friends and ad nirers, and
there was no apparent reason why he should
leave. His prospects were bright to make
name and money He owed little or
nothing here. The Progress will survive.

ne claim a sol ,OOO.
PENSACOLA, FLA, Feb 10.-One of the
most interesting civil cases ever known to
the local courts has just been concluded in
this city. The suit was for $4,000. The
plaintiff was Hugh Bellas, an Elglishman

ness, and the defendant wa NJ H. sullivan,

has Inherited from the latter the pop
ularly bestowed title the pitch pine
king" Bellas had been in the en-
ploy of the dead Sullivan up
10 the time of the later'S death,
and was retained by the heirs, after that
event. His claim was that he had man
aged the business for the estate for a certain
period after D. F. Sulhvans demise. aud
he claimed compensation in the sum above
mentioned, which was at the ate of S25 900
per annum, with travelling expenses added.

the worth of the services which Mr.. Bel as
claimed TO have performed, aud their esti-
mates ranged variously from "a 1000 to
$4,000 per annum. Six DAYS and a half
were consumed in taking evidence, which
included dispositions from European timber
dealers, and was appallingly voluminous

the opposing sides, aud the argument took
up about day ana a half.
