Atlanta journal: There's a certain com
, munity in Georgia the name OF which have
withheld for prudential reasons. that is quite
I curiosity in this enlightened age. The lead
ing citizen is a doctor who has been practic-
ing for thirteen years and he was hunting
around the other day to find out how many
( senators Georgia was entitled TO. There are
only three daily papers taken in the town,
Hhe journal the Telegraph and the Sayan-
nah News, and the citizens swap them abont
so that news is sometimes a week
I old when they get It. but it's news
TO them and they are salts

and the editor is seeking TO please his sub
| scr1bers. gone week he has an editorial
praising Gen. Evans and the next week he
iauds Mr. Atkinson to the skies. He has
started on the senatorial race, too, and is
taking the candidates up one by one, giving
them very hatterng notices. lie intends to

up and discovered the noise coming from the
room occupied by their children, and when
they struck light they heard some one
getting out Of the window, when
chloroform and in hunting for il
knocked over chair. The noise awakened
the children. and when Miss Florence went to
get up they saw something fall on the floor
and on examination it was found to be a
piece OF cotton well wrapped and saturated
with the deadly drug. The OdOr made all
sick. The object OF the intruder is not known
unless 1t was for the purpose Of rape. as there
were no valuables about the place. From the
tracks made by the party when he jumped
out OF the window IL is thought to have been

Griffin Call; The greatest loss connected
with the sale Of the oil mill IS that of Col. w.
e. Ii. Searcy. He mOrtgaged much of his
valuable property and raised some S17 0O0and
put the money into the oil mill to advance

and in the meantime the mortgages and in

consignment OF their cotton seed thew have
perhaps not lost all they put into the enter
prise. The Oh mill was the suggestion of
Col. SeRrcy. There was proposition and
suggestion to start great store at Griffin
and addresses had been made by visiting
alliancemen from Putnam and other counties
in that direction. but Col SearCy urged the
mill instead declaring that IL was better to
add TO the material prosperity of Griffin by
establishing manufactures than to tear down
