Covington and Macon railroad was wrecked
last night near the Appachee river. The

kindling wood. Twenty passengers were in

j. s. Loman, Hawkinsville, head terribly
bruised.

ternally, but not seriously.
I: J. Fleming of Augusta, slightly
bruised.
Other passengers were badly shaken up,
but fortunately no one was seriously in>
jured.
CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
The accident was due to the rails spread
ing, caused by the wet weather.
The front coach, which was thrown on the
ties, was replaced, after few hours delay.
and the train reached Madison about 10
O'Clock, where many of the wounded were
taken of in filters, while others went on to
their destinations.

There Is much more cotton yet unsold In
Gordon county now than has been known
in more than thirty years at this season.
The farmers all over that section of the
state have held their cotton for better
prices.
j. NJ. Smith, who has been doing a large
and successful business in Cedartown, Til

assignment. Col. o. N. Starr has been
made assignee, and will adjust Mr. Smiths

was the cause of the failure. Mr.. Smi h
had considerable money locked up in tim

convert it into cash when the crash came.

l.. & B. f. Strickland, long cotton buyers,
closed out 300 bales to H. F. Dutton & Co.
Of Gainesville, Fla, for the neat round sum
of $25, 045 70. A check on New York for
that amount was given, and it was cashed
by the Merchants Bank. The Me srs.
Strickland sold under contract made
early in the season, and, as prices have
steadily declined since that time, it is be-
lieved that they carried nice margin to
their profit account.

muck pond that, before being drained,
was covered with water to a depth of or s
feet. While digging up the muck a few
days since hard block of wood Was struck
at depth of three feet below the MUCK.
Upon digging it up it proved to be mortar
for the primitive mode of threshing rice.
The block is hewn by very blunt or dull
instrument from the solid heart of pine
tree; 1t is rounded up and the cavity made
IN the end; it is perfectly smooth and solid
inside, and the block is very heavy,
three feet high, being about all a
man cares to .-lift. The wood seems to be
almost petrifed from iUs being SO long
buried in the muck bed. At some reno.
period this pond was undoubtedly dry, a I'd

The pond has been full Of water for many
years, and it must have taken a great
length OF time for the vegetable deposit to
fill up three feet above the spot on which
the mortar stood. It's lower end rested on
the sand bottom. 1t is a great curiosity.
and many have come to see it.
