the purchase Of the whole or parts OF the
Brunswick Hardware and Paint Company's
stock The sale is to be under the direction
Of the court.
In the msndamus case of Court Stenogra-

suit OF DIR. Frank c. Gale for injuries re-
ceived by his wife in fall caused by negli-
geuce Of Ithe water company's workmen In
not placing a street in proper condition
after working on it. Every argument for
a new trial was overrule1, except one, on
the ground that the verdict was for too
large a sum. The court decided TO refuse
new trial provided the plaintiff would agree
to take 81, 500 less than the verdict rendered.
Judge CORTLAND Symmes, the plaintiff S
attorney, agreed to this, but it is probable
that the defendants will carry it to the gu
preme court.
Bob Maynard, the celebrated horse owner
and jockey, completed the purchase to-day

for Sheepshead Bay, where he will ride his
own horses in several races.

From the latest information 10 appears
that the excitement about the Tennessee

Reports received from Tennessee indicate
that the miners had no such intention, and

is no longer an experiment in South Geor-

farmers that they can raise this staple as
easily as they can raise cotton. and next

section. W. s. Middleton, VINO lives at
Vienna, in this county, raised several acres
this year quite successfully. He employed
an expert tobacco man to cure it for him,
building an improved barn for the purpose.
and the experiment paid him handsomely.
Next year he proposes to plant a great deal

At the Cycloneta experimental farm. on

the principal crop next year.

BUTLER, Ga, Aug. 25.-Hon Charles F.
Crisp delivered superb political speech at
the court house here yesterday morning.
When he begun his speech he permitted any
one to ask him any question at any time. A
man who was apparently old enough to
have known better than to have tried to
argue with such a man as Judge Crisp
asked him all sorts of questions through the
speech. 1t only took Judge Crisp a minute
to put him where he could not say word.
A good many of the third party brethren
would not go to hear the speech. and those
who did looked very serious. There are
but few of them here, like everywhere else.
When you are In one county you can hear
that they are tearing up the country just
over yonder. and you go there aud they are
somewhere else. The truth Of 1t is they are
not very plentiful anywhere.

they do produce wood in a very remarkable
shape. You will see, tered here and there,
singular blocks of what looks like weather
beateu, messy, gray stones of various size.
But IL you attempt TO roll over one of these
to accomplish it. In fact, the stone is tied
down TO the ground-tied down by the roots, or
in other words, it is not stone, but block of
living wood.
