The case Of Mrs. Maggie L. George
against the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad was decided in the superior court
at Macon Tuesday. the jury bringing IN a
verdict for 5000 for the plaintiff. The
suit was originally for the sum of $4,000
damages claimed by the plaintiff for the
killing of her husband. j. b. George, on the
Georgia Southern railroad near Bonair.
II seems that George was elected from the
train by the conductor, and his death re-
suited either when he was attempting to
board it again or when be was lying on the
track. The accident occurred Dec. -,
1889.

lieved that Mrs. Bleckely might be able to
walk once more il the proper treatment
was given her. With this end In view ne
began using the massage and electrical
treatment. In a week bis patient. who had
not so much as placed her feet on the floor
in nineteen years, was able TO stand erect.
Another week OF treatment and Mrs. Bleck-
ley was no longer an invalid. She is now
well and her cure Is hardly less than most
marvellous thing.
Athens Banner: The commission having
in charge the affairs Of the state normal
school has made its proposition to the trus-
tees Of the Peabody fund, who meet in New
York in few days. Their proposition
shows that everything is now In readiness
20 start Off q first-class normal school In
Athens il the necessary amount of money
can be secured. The Peabody fund has not
been fully expended, and there is now
nearly 500, 900 accumulated interest. Chan
cellor Boggs has had several talks with
Hon. j. L. M. Curry, one of the trustees,
and believes that they will grant the sum
asked for by the commission. This sum Is
5000 or a 900, and with it the normal
school can be started out on firm basis, and
after it gets in some of its good work, there
will be little trouble in convincing the legis>
lature that the great cause Of education in
Georgia calls for its support by the state. II
the Peabody trustees make the eppropria-
ton, work on repairing Rock College will be
commenced at once, and with the $500 do
mated by the city council the old building
will be put in thorough repair. The school
will then be opened some time after the
close Of the spring session of the county
schools, in order TO give the county school
teachers ample opportunity Of attending.
Judging from the number of inquiries made
of Commissioner Bradwell concerning this
school, it will not lack for scholars.
Washington Chronicle: Last Friday
night T. hi. Green's store was entered by a
back window. A party was engaged who
had been porter in the store, SO that the
thing was very neatly managed. They
went over the store selecting goods where
they thought they would not be missed.
Having carried a lot out they closed the
window and put stone in such position
that it might be supposed the pane was
broken by throwing a stone. Next day
Mr.. Green and Mr.. Lindsay
were deceived as intended. On
Saturday, some colored Chi
dren living on what is called Inghram's
avenue behind Gen. B. w. Heard's house,
went out into a field for wood to burn.
They saw a pile of brush and went to il
and soon uncovered box from which they
proceeded to draw out dry goods. They
were called to by some negro men who
seem TO have concealed themselves TO watch
the box and told to let the things alone
They did not heed, and one Of the men
called out "Let them alone. they
are mine" The children reported this,
and one OF the negroes, TO try to
make out that he was ignorant Of the goods
took them to Mr.. Benson. Mr.. Benson al
once recognized T. NJ. Green's mark and
sent for Mr.. Green, who found a box full oil
his goods. The negroes tried to make out
that they were just out in the field gam
bling, but they had claimed the goods from
the children, so a warrant was secured, and
they were sent to Jail TO await the session Of
court in May. The box Of goods Is worth
S25 or little more.
