The item has gone the rounds o’ tbo country and Atlanta has got a good deal of advertising, but the piano factory is still nursing. New nan is another Georgia town which must be mentioned as being alive to its opportunities. 'Just now there are build- ings in construction which will cost not less than SIOO,OOO. The people are build- ing tasty residences as well as substan- tial business houses. Lists are being circulated on the streets of Atlanta for signatures as members of tbe “Conservative Citizens’ Association of Fulton county.” The lists are being signed up rapidly, showing that tbe move- ment is popular, and that the peoplo are willing to indorse it. At Sylvania Tuesday Kizzy Colding, a young’ mulatto girl, was arrested for stealing a counterpane from the store oi Beuno l’lleffer.

It so preyed ou his mind that he went deranged. At Macon Tuesday the County Commis- sioners teceived bids from live firms for building the new Roff Home hospital. Tne bids were all much higher than was anticipated, and they divided on the low- est bid. Ingali and Giles again receiving ii, and Amason, Jenkins and Phillips for accepting. They think the county is unable to spend so much money on it, and so the matter stands. v At Athens Tuesday two well diggers Were blasting in well when one of the blasts failed to go off. They concluded to take the tamping out and re- charge the bole, and while taking out the tamping a spark ignited the powder and made a very loud report. The two men at work in the well were hardly hurt at ail. The only reason that can be given is that the tamping only blow out and their heads were not over the blast at tbe time. Bill Simmons and Riley Capers work at Gibeau’s, in Maoon. On Monday, Sim- mons received a postal from his mother. He was sitting down reading, and Capers slipped up behind him and began assist- ing nim to decipher it.

In Jacksonville at 25c. per dozen. Tbe new Mayor of Ocala has forbidden the sale of newspapers in that town on Sunday. Anew post office has been established south of Lake Kerr, iti Marion county, which will be known as Churchwood. It is estimated that by the removal of 2.518 cubic yards of earth, at a cost of .s►ss 40, the lndiaa river inlet can be opened. The corn crop generally in Jackson county is good, but the ianners are fear- ful that the continuous rains will damage the cotton.

The Herald of that place thus describes It: The building will front on the south side of Irma street, and the rear will be on the Boulevard. It will be 70 feet In width, and, owing to the angle In the Boulevard, will be 90 feet 5 inches deep on the east and 121 feet on the west. The building will be 50 feet from the ground to the cornice, and 08 feet to the apex in front. On the first floor will be three stores on Irma street, with a depth of 00 leet, back to a brick wall which extends to the roof. The stores each have frontage of 20 feet, and the main entrance to the theatre is at the west end on Irma street, with a stairway nine feet in width. The theatre will be 35 fqet from the floor to the apex of the ceiling, which will be arched. The floor will be on an angle, and the entire will be those ol a first class theatre. The proscenium will bo thirty- two feet wide, and the stage will be titty- six feet in width and thirty feet in depth. There are probably few theatres in tbe country with a larger stage than this will be. The dress circle, parquet, etc., will seat 480 persons, and the gallery will accommodate 220 more. In addition to this, there will be abundant “standing room” that will increase the capacity of the theatre to 1,000 persons. There will be four private boxes, and the theatre will be lighted with the electric light. It will be completed Jan. 1. THE ROAD RAW. Some Pertinent Remarks About It. Blnuen, Decatur Go.. 14a., Aug. 10.— Editor Morning Mews: Your editorial of a recent date on public roads aud road laws was timely. The most tyrannical law on tbe statute books of Georgia to- day is the road law. It was evidently framed with a view to reach the negroes. The rebound has taken place, and there are hundreds of honest white men di- gusted with it. The authority vested in the commissioners is despotic. They can make bunds serve ooe-twentieth of the wonting days in each year, uncalled for. or smuggle ever without doing much good at will. It is very common to change overseers each year. Nine times out of ten be is some unsophisticated youth who knows no more about the principle of road working than—well, myself. One will lay the foun- dation for a drain to carry off the water, another will come and fill it up! ’Tis a disgrace to Georgia that the Atlanta ring is permitted to net a half million annually on oonviot labor, thus competing with free labor, and free labor at home work- ing for the public. A per oent. placed on the poll tax for hiring the roads worked would be better than the present system; hut a more just system still, in my humble opinion, would be ad valorem taxation, excepting where men subject to poll tax had less than SIOO worth of property, or no property at all, be made to pay a rea- sonable part. Bids then could be let to ■ the lowest bidder tor keeping each road in order,aud it would be someone’s business, and not everybody’s, as now. We used to have less complaint, better roads and a better oountry. T. A. C. Nearly all the machinery has been pur- chased and 90,000 feet of lumber ordered for the sugar mill at Kissimmee. It will have a capacity of 10,000pounds per dsy, and if the business warrants it the ca- pacity can be doubted. The crops are excellent in Levy county, notwithstanding the heavy rains which have fallen lately. Reports come in that cotton Is beginning to open in several parts ol the county. The season for the fall business Is near at hand. A young lady named Miss Florida Lin- ville nearly got drowned at the Fernan- dina beach last Friday, and owes her res- cue to Masters F'rank Papy and Willie Firm, two younsters of twelve and thir- teen years of age, who gallantly brought her safe to land. At Quincy last Saturday Dennis Green, colored, was committed to jail on a com- mitment issued by Justice W. C. Wilson, charged with having entered the ware- house of E. E. Cargill, of Aspalaga, and stealing therefrom seventy-five pounds of flour and forty-one pounds of bacon. Volusia oounty has nine newspapers. We propose, says the wicked man of the Detson Courier, that the editors of these nine papers form themselves into a base ball club and issue a challenge to nine editors of any other oounty in the State to play a game Of ball for the State cham- pionship.

The number of whites in the eight cavalry companies is 898. In the Savan- nah Hussars, the only colored oavairy oompany in the State, the number is 34. In the Chatham Artillery and the Jack- son Light Artillery, both white, there are 128 men. In the Georgia Artillery, col- ored, there is a force of 23 men. This is a total of men, uniformed and equipped, presumably ready for service, of 2,877. The force is well armed with guns. The three artillery companies have three available pieces. Tbe State owns two Ga’ling guns, received from the general government, valued at $1,300 each. One of these is in possession ot tho Chatham Artillery, and tbe other is in possession ot the Sixth Battalion. Of the total number of the men on the military roster of the State 2,289 are in the infantry. The average cost ot the equipment ot these is $lB per man, mak- ing for the whole force $44,102. This does not include uniforms. Of this amount the State of Georgia pavs nothing, nor does it contribute a dollar in any other way to the support, maintenance or en- couragement of its military organizations. What Is received cornea from the general government at the rate of $5,500 per an> nun, and this is rapidly absorbed, often before tbe State receives it. The quota of tbe State tor the present year, not, yet received, is already covered by requisi- tions. In addition to the infantry companies in the list already given there are the Gainesville Volunteers and tbe Green Ri- fles, notice of whose organization was published lust week. Widle tbe State is just now unable to furnish arms to new companies which may organize, it is proner to say that in case ot war with Mexico, there wilt be no trouble about procuring arms. Uncle Sain w 111 tie only too glad to furnish arms to all volunteer companies that may be thirsty for Mexican gore. Hinton Wright, who recently wrote the Governor of Texas ottering tho services of a company of men from Atlanta, re- ceived a reply from him this morning, thanking him for tbe offer, and stating that tbe oommunloatlon bad been Hied for future referenoe. Tne Swedish and Danish newspapers have been diecarting schemes for tho construction of a tunnel between Danmark and Sweden nuJLj the aound. There are rumors afloat that the west- ern terminus of the HeLand and St. John’s River railroad will soon be changed from DeLand landing to Beresford, where It will form connections with the railroad and river at the same place. Broad gauge ties are now being put in the place of the narrow gauge ones along the road. The new church being erected by the colored Presbyterians, corner ot Laura and State streets, Jacksonville, is grad- ually progressing towards completion. The walls are to beproesed Georgia brick, with stone trimmings. The building is 34 by 60 feet, will have cathedral stained glass windows, and a seating capacity of nearly 300. Mr. Thrasher, of Bau Mateo, savs, alter viewing the groves in that vicinity, which have about 40,000 trees in thorn, that he is oonvlnoed that there is miiy two-thirds of a crop of oranges on the trees, a much better yield than had been expected. The trees there are in the very best condition, and are getting along about as well as if they had never passed through a freeze. Mr. R. A. Road, of Williston, Levy county, has a curiosity in the shape of a turtle. It has two heads, two tails and six legs. The hinder legs oooupy the proper place on the body, the two beads being where the front legs should be. they being further back, the other two legs be- ing wbere the bead properly belongs. Tho whole thing is covered by one shell about the size ot a sliver dollar. There has been some trouble at the Kerr City post office on account of the spelling of the name of that enterprising village, and the non-arrival of the com- mission of the new postmaster. Quite a voluminous correspondence was indulged in between that place and the Post Office Department, and the parties at Issue fail- ing to come to an understanding the matter wus referred to Congressman Dougherty by the Kerr # City people. He looked into tlie matter, satisfied the department, that it could spell “Kerr” with two “r’s,” when thecommlssiou was promptly sent down. Leesburg Commercial: We were told Monday a rather strange manner in wbicb the slutlon Dragem was named.

It will be reoollected that several months ago parties dressed as Turks were here selling what they claimed to be articles manufactured in the Holy I,and. Our shrewd and cultured friend, the President of the Grant Park commission, met the same crowd, or a similar crowd, in a SVestern city. He pretended to be examining the articles carefully with a view of purchasing, and remarked, with a positive air. “Did 1 not meet you in Tip- perary?” The ostensible Turk shrugged 'his shoulders and gave a negative reply. Thiukiug that there must be some rea- son for the question, the pretended Turk inquired: “When?” “Oh!” said Col. Root, with a bland smile, “about thirty years ago.” The Turk replied that he was not born then. “I am sure that I met you in Tipperary then. lam not mistaken about the mat- ter. You were in a fourth class oar. You know these articles here never saw Jerusalem. They were made at Newark, X. J.” This aroused the protended and be asked Mr. Root to conduct his conver- sation in French Mr. Root said he could do so, but he pre- ferred carrying It on in Arabic, and shot at him several Arabic sentences. Lifting up his hands fn tones of surrender, the Turk said: “Be jabbers, an’ yees are too much for me!” He was really a son of Green Erin. The Greatest Medico! Discovery of theiure.

Minister llell Kiplalns tlie Action of the Law of Holland of ISSU. One of the host of Americans who Im- agine themselves to be heirs to great for- tunes In the Old World recently made application to the Hon. Isaac Bell, Jr., United States Minister Resident at Tbe Hague, for information conoerning an estate of cash in bank and lands whioh he had been led to believe he was entitled to come Into possession of. In his reply, after declaring the fruitlessness of the applicant’s quest, Mr. Bell remarks as follows upon the general subject! The numerous inquiries on file at the Legation, from persons in tbe United 9tates who claim large inheritances which they suppoto were bequeathed to them by the European branch of the family oonvlnce me that a systematic fraud has been and still Is being practiced upon those persons by scheming sharpers who make a living by keeping alive and warm tbe excitement about the existence of unclaimed estates in Holland for American heirs. The frequency with which applications for information with regard to supposed inheritances in this country have been made to this Legation since my arrival here by persons residing in the various States and Territories prompted me to address an official inquiry to this government upon the subject. It appears from the reply of the Foreign Of- fice that the legislation of this country uas effectually and Anally disposed of all such claims, even it inherently inst,which were not presented to and proven berore the Commission of Liquidation established in 1852. Under .the old Dutch law the ad* ministration oi unclaimed estates proper- ly belonged to the different “Orphans’ Chambers” created from time to time throughout the country. In March, 1852, the States General passed an act provid- ing for the organization of a commission with authority to take possession of all such funds and estates and to adjudicate anffdisuose of all claims against tne es- tates ofdeceascd persons as well as against the government. In pursuance of the re- quirements of the act, all claimants were notified by advertisements inserted iu the official journal to make a full statement ot their claims with proof of descent and identity*. Alter six months a second ad- vertisement was inserted having the same purport. Under the law all funds and es- tates to which claims had not been estab- lished after a lapse of live years trom the second notice, escheated to tbe State. The law of March, 1852, has therefore effect- ually and finally disposed of all unclaimed funds and estates in this country origi- nating prior to that date. There has theretore since 1857 been no such thing In Holland as an unclaimed estate origina- ting prior to 1852.* He was a real nice young man, wore good clothes, went to biinday school with regularity, ana bad an excellent opinion of his own moral character. He walked into a great clothing store in search of a situation.and said: “I would like a place.” “Any experience?” asked the head ol the great establishment. “Not much; but I am a man ot good habits.” “So?” “Yes. 1 never swear, drink or chew; never play cards or go tottieraces; don’t baton base ball games or go round at night.” “Any- thing else?” “I don’t gamble, frequent bucket shops or hot on elections.” Tbe employer seemed satisfied, tor he called out to the head salesman with: “James, just see if our angel department is lull, and if not send this young man up.”— Cincinnati Sun.
