says the Watchful Signal man, between
young Bin Moore and Perry Anderson, the
| latter holding the fort They fell out,
about something that Bill said to Per
rvs boy. Bill struck Perry across the jaw
with a stick, causing a place TO swell up
the size of a roasting ear. Perry downed
his antagonist, jObbed him about the short
ribs with his pistol. Then he got to per-
forming some sleight-Of-hand work on
his head with the shooting iron, which
caused the skin and flesh on Tho negro's

let the negro up and he ran down the

.Valdosta Times: Quite an interesting
phenomenon is to be seen in connection
with one Of the big streams, the Oclla
creek, in Thomas county. After travers-
ing in southerly direction, the central
portion of the county, and supplying two
large mills and cotton gins Hancock
and EasOns, the later four miles below
the former with water power and form
ing large FISH pond above each of these
mills, 1t then, one mile below Eason
mill. in the midst of the pine rides dis
appear into subterranean channels, by
which hOrdeS of alligators, fish and turtles
ind exit TO parts unknown. This place is
known as Cones sink and is one of the
finest fishing grounds in South Georgia.
1t presents the appearance of beautiful
connecting lakes FOR distance through
the inviting forests. and is a favorite re-
sort for fishermen and those seeking re-
creation. The sinks are about four miles
west Of Boston.
Recently a miner residing in DahIonega,
says the Signal, got out a job and Sc
cured a contract of wood chopping at 80
cents per cord. He went to work and soon
had up cord. Soon after this he came
TO good sized tree with many limbs on
it, Not being a native of this country he
was unacquainted with the different tim
Der but felt satisfied that this tree cut
down and split would make a pile towards
the next cord. SO he soon felled it to the
ground. had a four foot cut off in a few
minutes and made a lick towards splitting
| the stick Of timber but not a bit did IL
| give. He cut a glut and tried to drive it
| into the small place the ak had made,
! lut without avail, for the wooden wedge
was soon bruised up a both ends. He
got another, another until he had cleared
about one-fourth of acre of ground of its
D
Der without success and he abandoned
the JOB. The tree was a black gum with
your twists to every inch and the gen
tleman trying to split it was Mr.. Stumm.
