of rains over the entire region and the
forecast was for generally fair wea Their

What are you taking homer" The an

Savannah's drummers-and the average

men travelling from the greatest shipping

happy aspect when coming in for the Holt

when closing business for the old year and
going home. to buy something from the
country stores for the Christmas or New
Year dinner or egg-nog. Hence the ques
ton of every newcomer who has just got
aboard at the last station. Some poor
fellow probably who was rushed with
business until the last moment, does not
have anything; then the amusing part
comes in, when some friend of his goes to
some more fortunate man who has a large
supply of eggs or chickens bought at prob
ably half or a third of what he would
pay at the market, and say: Didn't you
pay 10 cents dozen for that box of eggs?"
The answer being in the affirmative, he

CENTURY PLANT IN ATHENS.
An Old Negro woman Who Claims to
BE over 1O7 Years Old.

FROM the AtDeUS bdIuti.
A real century plant has been discovered
in Athens by member of the police force,
and the discovery brings an interesting
story to light.
A certain member of the police force,
in making his rounds yesterday, had &C.
casion to visit a cabin on the lower end of
Thomas street.
He went in, and saw an extremely aged
woman sitting near a small blaze. She
was industriously working away on a bit
of knitting and paid no attention to his
entrance He addressed a few questions
to her from the doorway, but still she paid
no heed, but going nearer, he finally at
tracted her attention.
The officer noticed that she was appar-
emily of great age, and he decided to
make some inquiries. He finally got the
old woman to understand him, and then
began an interesting recital. She told
of things that had occurred over ninety
years ago and her Information was singu-
larly accurate, too. Upon being ques-
toned as to her age, she stated that she
was born in 1913, in Greene county. She
is the mother of sixteen children, with
one of whom she is now living
This daughter is over 20 years old and
has a family of twenty children herself.
The mother however, seems TO be even
stronger than her daughter. When the
Younger woman wishes to sew, she in
yariably gets her mother to thread her
needle for her. The older woman enjoys
splendid health, and a remarkably keen
eyesightf and but for her deafness would
be in possession of all of her faculties.
Her mind is clear upon almost all sub
jects. though she seems to live principally
in the past She admits that she knows
nothing that has occurred in latter days,
but her knowledge of happenings that
transpired nearly century ago is Won
derful.
The old woman is named Jessie Will
liams and claims to be 1O7 years old. She
will probably live for some years yet, ms
her health seems to be little impaired by
age. She Is the grandmother of a regular
army Of children

COTTON LETTERS.

New York, Dec. 22.-Liverpool recovered
the largest portion of the dec inc of yes
terday to the surprise of the trade, and
have bought freely here, taking fully 90
coo baaes from this market. Opening high
er under this demand the same dun drag
cling liquidation has been evident during
the morning, supplying all the buying o.
ders from Europe. Receipts at the ports
and interior towns continue so small that
none care TO be short of cotton. on the
other hand there Is a constant stream OF
selling by outside holders, which discour-
ages any buying for an advance before
the holidays. Liverpool win be closed unit

New York. Dec. 22-Murphy & Co.'S
cotton setier says: Liverpool was better
than expected this morning Spots were
unchanged with sales OF 10000 bales. Fu-
lures were 2-s4d3-o4 higher. This caused our
market 10 open Pa points above last
nights final figures. There was consider
able selling for local count and prices
eased of to about yesterdays closing fig
ures where they remained until late IN

vance TO the highest prices caused by
good buying orders from Europe. Receipts

Was Fired Upon.

Hinesville, Ga. Dec. 22.-Sherif Brewer
came very near to death yesterday and as
1t is win be laid up for some time with a
painful, though not dangerous, wound in
his hip.
Yesterday he went down to Riceboro TO
arrest Farmer Norman, one of the most
notorious negro gamblers and outlaws in
the county The sheriff found Farmer be-
side the road seal ted on a log. Driving
IN by him. Norman was ordered to re-
move his hands from his breast and put
them up As Norman's hands came OUT
they held a pistol and as he made a move
ment to shoot Sheriff Brewer began fir
ing at him at close range. II Is known
that one bali hit Norman. but 1t made only
a SLIGHT wound on the head.
Norman's companions. three in number,
had began to take hand in the affair
but the sheriff seemed to bear a charmed
life and escaped with only one wound.
though at least twenty shots were fired q
him by the outlaws and at very close
range which makes his escape all the
more miraculous.
Sheriff Brewer was brought here and tsse
bullet was removed speedily by Drs. A.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Dec. 22.-Not much new bus
mess was attempted in cotton to-day.
Scarcely any outside orders reached the
exchange and the local interest had al
ready been pretty well eVened up In antici-
patton of the holidays In this country and
in Europe. The market opened steady at
an advance of / to points There was
not a full response to LiverpooPs good
showing. Private cables were quite bull
ish indicating low stocks in the hands OF
English splnners against good demand
for cloths and yarns. To-days local
market, however had practically no spec
ulative support and before noon had drift
ed back to the closing figures of yesterday
Later in the session the situation was
very tame, but sentiment was rather bull
ieh. particularly on the strong Liverpo y
statistics and the small receipts of cotton
in this country. The Southern spot mar
kets were all reported in very good shape.
Few traders had the courage to take the
short side with such factors in view, and
while business was very dun and the I'M
dertone of the market was quite firm with
the close steady, prices were net point
lower to points higher
