Wadley Statue Cast In A Single Bronze Block
In New York a giant bronze statue portrait of Colonel William M. Wadley, late Georgia Central railroad president, was cast in a single piece weighing four thousand pounds. The process used a huge cauldron, iron bands, and a four-thousand-pound bronze pour watched by artists and officials. The work, by Henry Bonard Company, will be placed at the intersection of Macon streets after cooling. Robert Cushing modeled the statue and four months were spent building the 1,400-piece mould.

A Negro Man's Unusual Color Change Draws Attention
A Jones county resident recalls a remarkable case of a enslaved man living on John McCullough's farm who, over five years, turned half white. Once entirely black, he now has a white face and arm with blue veins visible under transparent skin. Healthy, never ill, he farms the place and has refused showman offers of $100 per month, declaring he will not be exhibited.
