Atlanta Journal: 4 very queer case of
larceny has come to sight at the court
house. Two legal papers have disappeared.
One the bill Of indictment against Charles
NJ Ozbur1, the condemned murderer. The
other, an Indictment against Dr.. ii. c.
Martin, on a charge which has been dis
credited, as be was re elected city physl-
clan from the Fourth ward by cOuEcl last
Monday. But about the missing papers.
Some time ago Lucien Smith, who V Is at
one time druggist on East Fair street
called a. the Office Of the solicitor Of the
super or court aud asked the bailif, John
Monaghan, to let him see the indict-
ment IN the Martin case. A batch Of
Indictments were placed in his hands. After
Smith had gone Mr.. Monaghan missed Is o
ind ct uents- ha. in the Ma tain case and
the one IN tie case Of Charles VI. OZouTr,
under sentence OF death for murder. In
open urt it was stated that the indict-
meat against DR.. Martin had been shown
him, and that he had Indignantly declined
10 touch the paper. Dr. Martins honorable
action in the matter was commented upon
by Councilman Hulsey. 1t was certain that
D. Martin had nothing 70 do with the pur-
Joining Of the papers fr N
the court house officials. II SIN n

visit from E. 2. Lugand Of Miledge>
Vile, he located there four years ago and
established marble yard-being unsur~
passed IN skill, in designing and executing
monuments. But being native of France
and having been brought up in the bosom
Of its vineyards, his thoughts in his lev
home naturally turned upon a vineyard, as
pleasing adjunct to his marble business.
So be bought four acres of gullies near the
depot, and after little intelligent prepara-
lion, commenced stocking it with
grape vines. He now has the en-
tire acreage in lourishing vines Of the best
varieties of different ages, but most of
which are in bearing this year, and promise
a magnificent yield. Last year only one
acre Of the vineyard was of bearing age
From that acre Mr.. Lugand sold grapes
enough TO net him $40 ~. In addition TO
that he made 1853 gallons of wine, which he
sold at an average of 81 25 per gallon,
making total Of $44S 10 an acre. This
year most of the vines are in luxuriant
bearing, and Mr.. Lugand says that he
would not now take 200 gallons Of wine
for the yield of his crop on the four acres

as four years old. There isn't a six-mule
cotton farm in the state that will make
such profit Tor its proprietor. 1t is tair to
say that very few men would have made
such a success Of this little four-acre vjne-
yard as Mr.. Lugand has done. but grapes
are 80 easily grown that almost any one
could make comparative success of the
business, with little outlay of intelligent

in the adoption Of Middle Georgia to grapes.
