A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Valdosta. Ga. Feb. "A young man
named Dennings. who recently came to
this city from Atlanta. met with a serious
accident yesterday while another boy was
playing with him. The two lads were
walking along together when the other
boy ran against Dennings in a joking
manner, knocked him down on his face
and arms. Nearly all Of Denning's weight
landed on his elbow which was badly
broken and one bone below the joint was
driven some distance under the skin to-
ward the shoulder. Medical attention was
given the lad. and he is now resting cas-
ny, although he has suffered a great deal
since the accident occurred.

gotten their Changing organized and

him, but TO make the trip on what he re-
ceiVed from editors along the road The
local craft contributed TO the enterprise
by giving him the price of a meal or so.
The police here made a raid on four
or nve tramps this morning and gave them
cells IN the city prison. The authorities
here have been pretty strict on tramps
for some time. but have never arrested
them for merely being tramps. This
morning the four in question, on being

ceeded to curse out the landlady in a prom

VALDOSTA ITEMS.
1t is Thought That the Peach Trees
Have BIOssomed Too soon.


Have BIOssOmed Too soon.
Valdosta, Ga, Feb. 9-The theater-going
public was treated last night to an i'm
promptu minstrel performance by ANA
teur talent, which will be remembered
by the large crowd in attendance as being
the best show that has appeared here this
sei.son. All of the performers We're trav-
cling statesmen, whose minstrel talents
were high above the ordinary. The caste
was made up of Messrs Sandlin and Stump
of Savannah, King Of North Carolina.
Scott Of Virginia and Lansburg, piano
drummer from Atlanta. In spite of the
heavy rain in the afternoon, a large and
fashionable audience was present, and
the entertainment, consisting of a mock
bear dance by Stump and Sandlin, dane
ing by Lansburg, singing by all of the
performers, and a rip-roaring farce to
cap the performance.
The recent warm weather has made the
peach trees through this section put forth
blossoms, and it is feared that late
freeze will greatly impair the coming fruit
crop. The weather for several days has
been rather unusual in this section. A
heavy gale and tremendous rain storm
Wednesday and Thursday, and another
heavy rain yesterday and wind last night
and to-day with an outlook for coldtwea-
Their and probable freeze tonight, gives
us a variety that even the old inhabitants
are not accustomed to.
Politics through this section has not
attracted very great attention so far. 1t
is Echols county's time to choose a sem
ator from this district under the rotary
system, and it is said that Dr. Collier,
the present legislator from there, will
offer himself for the position. What sort
of reception he will receive in his home
county is yet to be seen, although it is
known that he is popular there.
The Citizens Bank of Valdosta has
hpa ~ ufo To frrxF Fftsf n 4e
ton.
DR.. ]. L. Smith on yesterday gave the
contract for the erection of a handsome
home on Hill avenue, the work to be COM
menced at once.
Among the hundreds of new trees plant
ed here during the last month or so, there
have been a great many sycamores, and
the outlook is that nearly half of the shade
trees of the city will be sycamores.

notified and taking no action, they were
given their liberty yesterday under ha-

warrant to have Howard and the woman
arrested for adultery. Those two and their
lawyers had forestalled this complication
by love, a marriage license and a JUS

diately married. Then Howard had Fam

opnortunity of hearing him twice in one

She was heard Friday night as having a
voice very similar to Scadehi's. The con-
cert Friday afternoon will be a fitting
close to the Music Culture Clubs season.
The management requests that those who
have not yet paid their subscriptions to
the club will remit Immediately to the
treasurer, Mr. T.. Lloyd owens, at the
custom house, or at his residence, No
80 State street. 1t also desires to an
nouuce that twenty-five tickets, at 81 each,
will be sold, giving four reserved admiS-
sions. Holders of these tickets have the
privilege of reseTving their seats two
days before the general public can do so.
Any one desiring them can secure them
from Mr.. Owens. The box sheet will be
open Wednesday morning.
There will, of course, be an entire change
OF programme at this concert. The sug-
gestion is made that instead of giving an
entire act from an opera in the coming
concert. the singers give two or three
operate quartettes, interspersed through
the programme. This would render the
concert still more enjoyable. 1t is also
suggested that Mr.. Sherwood play some
entire masterpieceS-Such as a Beethoven
sonata, a Chopin sonata or ballade, or one
Of Shuman's more important works. This
latter composer is seldom heard here, and
Mr. Sherwood plays Schuman splendidly.

ton to the HurbOr Work.
Savannah, Ga, Feb. S.-Editor Morning
News: 1 would like to call the attention
of the business men of Savannah to the
fact that Capt. Carter, the engineer in
charge of the jetty work on the Savannah
river. is trying hard to shut off all COM
munication by water from the islands
north of the river, so as to completely
shut off these people from coming to Sa-
vannah to trade. He is making it more
dangerous every day by closing up the
channel around Venus point. and has re-
moved what little there was to mark the
opening through the jetties. The steamer
Gov. Stafford ran high and dry on one end
of these jetties, there being nothing what
ever to mark the very small opening he
has left.
II seems time the people had something
10 say in the matter. There is not a trip
by the Stafford to Beaufort but some one
pegs 10 be taken inside so as to get some-
where near Daufuskie Island, and others
want TO go inside on account of the danger
gong through Catalogue Sound. 1t seems
shame to compel river steamers to
qult a natural channel and go to sea to
satisfy the whim of an engineer employed
of channels, instead of closing them, det-
rimental to business interests and destruc-
tive to life and property. Hoping this will
draw the attention of the business men
of Savannah to the fraud that is being
perpetrated on them, l am respectfully
yours, George U. Beach,
Managing Owner Steamer Gov. Stafford.

Augusta, Ca, Feb 9.-One of the mos,
remarkable religious meetings ever held
in Augusta took place tonight in the First
Presbyterian church. Not remarkable in
any sensational way. but in the large out
pouring of people, the long-sustained in
terest, and in the unusual demonstration
by the audience of their admiration for
the preacher. Tonight was the closing
service of a three weeks protracted meet
ing conducted in Augusta by Evangelist
i. L. P1erSon. During this time, three
meetings day have been held, besides
prayer meetings for the young ladies',
eGnSaucted by Mrs; F.. T. Pierson. To
night the largest church in the city was
packed to its utmost capacity with dou-
PIE rows of chairs down each of the three
asies, IN the space in front of the altar,
ana on the platform itself so that Mr.
Fierson only had standing room on the
tuse OF the platform. But notWithstand-
ing this great gathering, a second congre-
salon assembled at the First Baptist
S4urch, and as soon as Mr.. Pierson fin
lSned his sermon at the First Presbyterian
CIurch ne went over to the Baptist church
anu anu qIehvered it there also. When he left
Sue FIRST church, it was with the I'M
outstanding that he should return as soon
