ROCKED WHILE ASLEEP.
a White Kan Is Roughly Treated by
8 ROwdy Crowd.


Set upon and rocked bya crowd of row.
dy negroes and pelted with rocks while
asleep.
That is the experience of white man
who went down to the Central depot last
Saturday night to take the u O'Clock
train for Americus.
\ white brick mason, whose name we
did not learn, worked on The Baldwin
building portion of las5 week, and
when Saturday night came he started to
Americas, somewhat under the influence
of liquor, when he met with the expert
once above stated. The particulars of
the Affair as related by the man himself
are substantially as follows:
Some time before the arrival of the
train he went down to the depot, and sit
ting down ipon the platform alone soon
fen asleep. The next thing he knew he
was awakened by some one cursing him
Violently, and demanding that he get up
AMI leave. At first he was daZed and be-
WiIdcrcd as to his whereabouts, but soon
recovering himself, he opened his pocket
knife and sprang ut the intruder. His
assailanJ fled into the depot sitting room
and, still cursing, with a drawn spade
demanded that he leave, or he would
kill hi n. The brick mason still advanc-
ed, bu, the door was slammed to and he
was stopped.
At this juncture some other parties on
the outside commenced to pelt him with
rocks, and lie then went over to Bolton
Il Daniels store &nl asked for something
with which to defend himself. He was
advised to take the Lack street and go up
town for the police, which he did.
Chief Hatcher responded, and return
ing they found four persons, who wore
arrested and proved to be John Porter,
Nick Ross, Jesse Richardson and Ed
Jones, all colored. hey We're carried
to the lookup, when to escape punish
ment John Porter tn ned States evidence
and fastened the guly upon the parties
named
Upon trial MONDAY morning Porter
was fined - and the others So each, the
former being the leader.

The display of goods in the windows

of this fact.
The cane crop of this section is one of
the largest ever produced. We will soon
have this years crop on the market as
Georgia cane syrup is always marketable
and brings good price. The crop this
year will be a source of great revenue to
the farmers.

A CURIOUS DINNER.
BlsaItsnake Was the Only Dish and 1t War
Eaten Raw.

During the War of the Revolution,
while Washington's army was marching
thr",:gh snow and ice in what was then
who were members of the same regi-
ment, were lost in the woods. For
several days they wandered about in the
terrible cold, with scarcely clothing suf-
ficient to keep them from freezing, and
with no food. The granddaughter of one
of these men now lives in this city, and
tells this bit of interesting history,
which has been handed down to her
direct from her grandfather.
After wandering for three days with
out food or warmth, the poor fellows
began to weaken and stagger wearily.
1t was evident that they could live but
short time unless some assistance
should reach them. All three carried
their rSuns, but fate seemed against
them. Not bit of game of any kind
could they find. AT last, driven to des-
peration, they decided TO cast lots to see
who should die that the others might
live. The lot fell on the grandfather
whose descendant tells this story.
1t was the morning before Christmas
that this took place, and when the man
whose fate had been sealed prepared to
give up his life, calmly and without a
murmur, his companions refused to take
it, resolving to die themselves rather
than to eat their comrade. just as they
were about to resume their weary
journey, weak and exhausted and
scarcely able to stand, huge blacksnake
crawled by them. Quick as a fash one
of the men pierced the reptile with the
bayonet of his gun. Snake flesh was
not thought to be very palatable, but
when hunger makes men desperate they
are not particular as to the quality OF
food they can get So while his snake
ship was still wriggling on the ground,
an extremely unwilling prisoner, he
was carefully cut in three pieces, and
the three soldiers enjoyed their frs
meal in nearly four days. This was a
Christmas dinner which Grandfather
Boynton spoke of in after years as ''the
sweetest morsel of food that ever passed
my lips."-Buffalo Express.
