A GEORGIA VENDETTA.
Ben Jordnns Bloody Deeds in Fannin
Counfv.


County.
When the tocsin of war first sounded
Ben Jordan responded speedily. Or
ganizing company at once he hast
ened to the scene Of the conflict. In
the battles throughout Virginia there
were no braver spirits than Ben Jor-
dams men. Several times he fell
wounded, fighting in the thick of the
fray. His many deeds of reckless dar-
ing won the admiration of all the off,
GERS and his unshrinking valor en-
deared him to the hearts of the men.
One day shortly after, the battle of
Gettysburg he received a letter notify
ing him of his mothers death and tell
ing how his home had been burned.
Jordan Immediately made application
for leave of absence. This, howev-
err, could not be obtained, as the order
revoking all leaves of absence and re-
fusing thereafter all furloughs had just
before been issued. Then, according
to the tale told by an old Fannin coun-
ty citizen, Jordan, with his character
istic boldness, went before Gen. Long
street.
He explained to the general how he
had heard of the death of his mother
and the burning of his home and
asked a leave of absence. Longstreet
replied that he sympathized with him,
but the orders must be obeyed no mat
ter what the circumstances were, and
he was forced to refuse the request.
Jordan bowed and left the tent. The
next morning he was missing. Some
time after he turned up near his old
home, in Fannin county, to find things
even worse than reported, Nothing
remained except the land upon which
the ruins of his ancestral mansion were
standing
Driven to desperation, he swore re-
venge. From his sister he got the
names of the twenty-five men, who, it
was said, sympathizing with the union
side after seeing the inevitable result
of the war, began to commit deeds of
violence in their neighborhood. 1t
was this gang which burned Jordan S
house. He did not return to Virginia.
When the surrender was made and
peace declared all of his old compan-
ions came home. To several of them
he related his tale. They swore to
stand by him, and the vendetta was
formed. Upon Bible each took a
solemn oath to kill all of the men
whose names were on the list.
How well they succeeded any of the
old people up in Fannin can tell you.
AS each man was killed Jordan would
check his name off the list. In some
mysterious way the vendetta was di.
vulged. Jordan disappeared, and since
then has never been heard from.-At.

made by the enemy, the generals
horse caught his foot in loop of the
wire. and in the animals efforts to
free himself the coil became twisted
still tighter. The enemy was moving
up rapidly, delivering heavy fire, and
there was no time to be lost. The
staff officers began to wear anxious
looks upon their faces, and became
very apprehensive for the generals
safety. He sat quietly in his saddle,
giving directions to an orderly. and
mounted, who were struggling ner-
vously to uncoil the wire, and kept
cautioning them In a low, calm tone
of voice not to hurt the horses leg.
Finally the foot was released; but
none too quickly, as the enemy few
minutes later gained possession of
that part of the field.-Gen. Horace
Porter, in McClure's Magazine.

Use of Cold Cream,

A chemist, speaking of the frequency
with which women annoint their faces
with cold cream, says that in no in
stance should it be used except where
the face has become roughened by the
wind, and then applied only for a night
or two. That it gives an oily look to
the face and has tendency to enlarge
the pores of the skin. That if the skin
needs tonic cocoa butter or cocoanut
oil thoroughly rubbed into the skin
morning and evening, after having
bathed the face in warm water, will
improve the complexion in very short
time and will not raise the small crop
of hair that is almost inevitable with
the nightly use of cold cream Chicago

for the Enemy's Guns.
The day the outer lines of Peters
burg were carried, and the troops were
closing up upon the inner lines, Gen.
Grant halted near house on piece
of elevated ground which overlooked
the field. The position was under fire,
and the enemy's batteries seemed to
pay particular attention to the spot,
noticing, perhaps, the group of officers
collected there, and believing that
some of the union commanders were
among them. The general was en-
gagged in writing some dispatches, and
paid no attention whatever to the
shots falling about him. Members of
the staff remarked that the place was
becoming a target, and suggested that
he move to less conspicuous position,
but he seemed to pay no attention to
the advice given. After he had fin
ished his dispatches, and taken another
view o. the enemy's works, he quietly
mounted his horse and rode slowly to
another part of the field, remarking to
the officers about him, with a jocose
twinkle in his eye: We'll, they do
seem to have the range on u.s."

A Moment of Doubt.

A good many soldiers, north and
south, must remember moments which
will enable them to sympathize with
the spirit of question recorded in
southern magazine. On tiresome
night march Florida soldier, sleepy
and worn ont, fell into ditch by the
roadside. There he lay bemoaning
his fate when the next regiment came
up, and hearing his means some of the
men hastened to his rescue. AS they
stood him on his feet, bedraggled and
demoralized, he turned to one of them
and said: 81 say, stranger, don't you
think South Carolina was little
hasty?"-Youth's Companion.

MAUI SCHOOLHOUSE BURNED.
A Case of Suspected Incendiarism
at Ulupalakua Village.
a Community Quarrel That Was Bitter
Names i'm n Letter First Per-
sonaI. Then Political.

The schoolhouse et Ulupalakua,
Maui, was burned 10 the ground
last Wednesday morning. All re-
ports agree that the FIRE was of in
cendiary origin. Hall passengers
were talking about it.
A letter received by the Hall
yesterday goes so far as to mention
the names of several persons sus-
pected of firing the building.
Ulupalakua is small settlement
about fifteen miles from Wailuku.
For more than a year there has
been but little peace in the neigh
borhood. The first quarrel was a
personal affair. As the commu-
nifty became involved politics were
dragged into the disputes. The
school very naturally became a
subject for difference. Feeling over
this ran high. A correspondent de-
clares that destruction of the build
irg is the elimination of the
quarrel.
The schoolhouse stands entirely
by itself and all theories of acci-
dental firing are rejected by the
people. They are certain that the
torch was maliciously applied.
Several cases of incendiarism
have convulsed Maui and a lot
more will be heard of this one.

The picking of the tea by machine
that made no mistake was to be ad-
mired for its simplicity, cheapness and
efficiency that il gathered by whole
sale only young tender leaves, never
old ones, although there were an
abundance of the latter on the trees.
There were 81 number OF people
planting or preparing to plant coffee
in the different districts, and they
were, with but few exceptions, follow
ing the modes practiced by Mr.. Mil
Ter, that is, to clear all shade and keep
the land clear of all weeds the whole
time.
The following is to Robt. Rycroft
from J. A. Folger & Co, the San
Francisco wholesalers. A copy
was sent to McChesney & Sons,
who are becoming coffee and tea
factors:
DEAR SIR: We have before us
your letter of the 9Th inst, and also
the sample of coffee you enclose.
We have had this sample shelled,
by hand, of course, (as such a small
sample could not be otherwise ham
dledl and we find it to be very nice
article. The taste, of course, would
seem TO be a little rank, what is
termed grassy" taste, from the fact
OF It's being SO very new. This, how
ever, would pass away in a short time
after the coffee was shelled.
1t is very hard for us to tell what il
would be worth in the parchment,
because the shrinkage of different
coffees varies. We would much pre-
fer, also, to have it prepared where it
is raised.
Coffee grown wild in the islands
(Which we have all been accustomed
to for the past number of years. has
come to the market in such undesir-
able shape that it brought only the
price OF any other coffee in that par
tlcular state, but, like coffees from
Central America, the better they are
prepared and assorted, the better
prices they bring. If people in the
Hawaiian Islands desire to get full
prices for their crop, they must pre-
pare it in the best manner. We
would offer a suggestion, that you
prepare a small lot, anything from
200 pounds or 800 pounds up, that you
wish, and ship it to us, that we may
see exactly what you would be able
to furnish to the trade. At present
we do not look for any higher prices,
the tendency being rather downward
than otherwise.
AS we have frequently written to
people in the islands who are inter
ested in the growing of coffee, until
such time as there is a demand made
for island coffee on its merits, we will
be unable to get any greater price
than for the same quality of Central
American coffees.
have asked another gentleman to
give me his opinion on this coffee and
1 will enclose his letter. I consider
his opinion very good indeed; he is
broker here for nearly all the i'm
porters of Central American coffees.
We trust you will be able to send us
a small shipment of this coffee, that
we may make some effort to interest
people in island coffees. For our
selves, we are enthusiastic over the
future of the islands as a coffee grow
ing country.

judges thought otherwise. He won the Sec

the fourth, bu. break caused him to lose
much ground, and when Turner had him
steadied again he was six lengths behind
Guy. He was driven at a furious
clip to recover the lost ground.
This he did, overhauling Guy and
beating him to the wire, but was set back
to last place for running. The decision
was much criticised. During the afternoon
