ABBEVILLE CRITICISED.
But There Appears to Be No FOundn-
ton for the Criticism.

Abbeville. Ca. Nov. SO.-This town is
more completely stirred up this morning
than it has been in long time. An ar
ticle has just appeared in the American
Tribune, the organ of the Grand Army OF
the Republic, published at Indianapolis
in which Mr.. Fitzgerald, the founder of
the colony, severely criticizes Abbeville
He says that some of the people of Alb
beville do all they can to poison the minds
OF a few of our members and try to induce
them to stop over in that village" etc.
The article is lengthy and strongly drawn.
While it is true that the AbbeVille peo-
pie have naturally endeavored to dispose
of some of their property to the colonists,
and have also naturally praised up Alb
beville and her surroundings, be it said
to the credit of our town that these col
ony people and all other newcomers,
have been received with open arms, and
open homes. Many families occupying
small houses here have, with perfect will
ingness, very seriously incommoded them
selves 10 take in colonist families who
arrived before the allotment was made,
or any, provision for them at
the colony grounds. There are
several colony families residing
here, and they are loud and outspoken on
the streets this morning regarding the
uniform kindness and cordially with
which they have been treated here. A
mass meeting was neIu DIT the court mousse
this afternoon, and a calm, temperate,
and generous set of resolutions were
adopted, in reply to the article.
j. r. Nome has Just sold, through r.
w Randall, 800 acres of land three miles
west of AbbeVille to Chicago parties.
Three families will come at once and
plant a model vineyard and orchard, in
Guiding several of the small fruits, which
we know will do well here.
We regret very much that another cleo
ton must be held on our school bonds. 1t
seems that the Chicago syndicate who
were to take them now claim that the
issue was too large under the Georgia
code in proportion to the assessable prop
erty of the town. This will set back the
enterprise month or two.

yious. and he kept it up until he reached
the house. The owls followed him to the
door. Hicks managed to get inside and
shut the door before the birds could get
in, and fell exhausted and bleeding to the
floor.
Hickss son Hiram was home and when
he learned what the trouble was with his
father he took a gun and went out the
back door. He then sneaked around the
corner, and the four owls were squirting
on the doorstep evidently waiting for
Hicks to come out
Hiram drew a bead on the nearest bird
and pulled the trigger. One owl toppled
over, and the three remaining birds start
ed for young Hicks, who slipped back in
the house and reloaded his gun. Then he
went out the front door, and sneaked
around the house He found the owls sit
ting on the back door step, waiting for
him. He shot another bird. and got back
into the house as quick as he could.
once more he loaded the gun and tried
the back door route. The two owls sat on
the doorstep. Hiram shot one of them, and
evidently coming to the conclusion that
the odds were against him, the remaining
bird flew off in the direction of High Hin.

XIII Twelve Hens.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press
Corrplanter, Pa, Nov. 22.-Last Thurs
day evening Giles Eddy, who lives on the
river road, near the mouth of Hook river,
heard his dog barking up the ravlne, and,
supposing that it had freed a coon, he
took his ak and lantern and went to the
dogs assistance. Giles dog, Watch, is
celebrated coon dog, and he was never
known to stink even when pitted against
several full-grown coons. Giles found the
dog barking up a chestnut tree, but the
feeble light afforded by the lantern gave
no glimpse of the animal in its branches.
Placing the lantern just out OF range of
flying chips, Giles set 10 work telling the
tree, and as the work PROGRESSED the dog
manifested unusual excitement, becom-
inS almost frantic as the tree began to
crack and give way. A Few more STROKES
of the AK and the tough hbres parted, but
before the tree struck the ground Giles
ears were saluted by an ugly scream that
he instantly recognized as the cry of
wildcat.
Game as a pebble, the dog rushed fu-
riously into the tree top and began an
argument that was mighty interesting
while it lasted, and mighty pointed on
the part OF the cat, which quickly sue
ceeded in adjoining old Watch with the
most approved hair lines and diagonals,
Giles hustled around in vain effort
to ind club, but before he could get
his hands on suitable shillalen old
Watch, the hero of a hundred battles with
cOOnS, had struck his colOrS and sound
ed the retreat leaving pussy in ltndis-
puted possession of the wood. After dis
posing of the dog, the cat ''lit OUT FOR
parts unknown, and on reaching the
house Giles found his favorite coon dog
crouching by the door, licking his wounds
and whining pteously. 1t will be some
time before old Watch will trouble the
coOns again.
Wildcats have been seen in Warren
county only at rare intervals in the last
five years. but they seem to be increas-
ing now. Leonard Newton, who lives on
Quaker Hill, heard disturbance in his
poultry house a few evenings ago, ana,
supposing the intruder to be a weasel
or a skunk, he armed himself with an ak

A TOWN MARSHAL ON THE RUN.
The Boys Put Up "a job and Scare
Him Out of Town.

Valdosta, Ca, Nov 3O.-A story was
told here this evening of the unique way
in which some of the people of Sparks,
township twenty miles north of Valdosta,
dispensed with the services of the town
marshal who was elected by the town
council a few days ago Il. II. Miner,
a young man of this city, pulled the mu-
nicipal plum and either through jealousy
or because 1t was thought that the office
was not needed, some of the young men
proceeded to make II vacant. It seems
that Miner was given an opportunity to
arrest one of them, when the others took
offense and began firing their pistols as II
TO kill him. He left at once by the foot
road and took a train from a neighboring
station for this city. Parties from Sparks
say that the affair was treated as joke
there. but Miner avows that they tried
to kill him and that several bullets whiZ-
zed by his ear. His story Of his expert
ence as town marshal Of new town is as
thrilling as q cowboy romance.
