A Fiery Ghost.

A ghost that gets himself up in a
brilliant vesture of flame is creating q
disturbance in the vicinity of Hamel-
town, a suburb of Cincinnati. The
scene of his apparitions is an an
Gent log cabin, which adjoins a
dairy managed by reputable widow.
A few nights ago gardeners passing on
their way to market noticed a brill
liant light in the cabin, and thinking
5nat 1t might be on fire they went to
awaken the people in the dairy. To
their horror, so they say, they could
not pass the cabin to reach the in
mates OF the house, being held as il
spell-bound by some insensible power.
They were glad to retreat, and re.
gaining their wagons, proceeded on
their way to market. Since then the
bright light has been noticed by a
score of persons to whom the gar
dcner's told their experience. IL has
been seen to come with wavy, dane
ing motion from the adjacent cliffs
and passing around the yard, over
the house and dairy barn, at last set
ties in the cabin, where it remains
for hours, then suddenly disappears.
When.it.is over the dairy barn, the
cattle are intensely excited. believing,
and trying to break loose from the
ropes which contine them to their
stalls. The singular light is in the
shape Of man, and is supposed to
be either the spirit of an Old pioneer
who was killed by Indians in the
cabin when Cincinnati was village,
or that Of the proprietor himself, who
is not pleased with the way business
is being carried on.

The Savannah News of friday had the
following about two prominent gentle
men of Dawson:
solicitor General Griggs of the PA
taula circuit, and Hon. 0. B. Stevens, of
Dawson, two we'll known politicians, are
in the city. Mr.. Stevens was a candidate
for the Congressional nomination in the

within few votes of carrying off the
prize. He is extremity popular with his
people.
NEARLY everybody in the state knows

he fs one of the best story tel.ers in
the state, and power on the stump, as
che Third Pariyites of his section will
Sorrowfnlly attest from personal exper-
fence in the last campaign. He lis an ex-
pert politician and his opinion is worth
considerable. Mr.. Griggs says the people
in his part of the state are a unit for
Hon. F. G. duBinon for United States
Senator to succeed Senator Colquit. and
that this question will be an issue in the
next legislative campaign. Mr.. Stevens
says the same feeling prevails all through
Southwest Georgia."
