BRYAN, t ATTORNEY-AT-LAW, w the shipping season of fruit from this county occasionally some ludicrous incident happens which momentarily takes the mind off the real or imaginary dollar, and gives spice to the business. A few days ago a cantaloupe ship per was partially loading a refriger ator car at Byron, the car to be sent to Powersville to finish out the load. JuBt before the car left for Pow ersville, our Hero asked the boys to shut him up in the oar, and he would go down with his cantaloupes. He did not wish any one, especially the conductor, to know of his enterprise. The engineer had some shifting to do. He moved this car onto anoth er traok and it stopped. The inmate rapped gently an the door, but no response. For ’ the second time the car was moved and stopped; he rap ped again. Still no response. On’ce again, the third time, the car was moved and stopped. He thought it had been left for the next train to take down, and became exceedingly anxious to get out. He gave two or three hard raps, and what afterward proved to be an Esquimaux yell. Immediately the door of the car was opened. He reached the ground aB quick as possible, and while wiping the unnatural perspiration from his brow he made the following start ling announcement? “Gentlemen, you can state to the world that Houston Gounty, State of Georgia, U. S. of A., has the hon or of having a man who has made a quick and successful trip to the North Pole. It has been the theory that the climate there is very pleas ant and agreeably but you can say for the benefit of future explorers that there is not a word of truth in ij;. I know whereof I speak. I have been there, but I am not going back.” With thjs he walked off, loaded down with all the honor the occasion afforded. B. Byron Items. MERITS OF WIRE FENCING.

ANTHOINE, Frop’r., FORT VALLEY, GA enclosing large plantations or small gardens. The American Field and hog Fence is being sold in great jquantities throughout the south and reports from all sections indicate that the results exceed the expecta tions aroused by the hearty recom mendations of this fence by farmers of the north and ranch owners of the west. Some of the features which make this fence peculiarly adapted to the needs of planters are its economy, its great durability, the ease and rapidity with which it can be erect ed, and the complete protection it affords to stock and crops. Such a fence would not be possible except ing for the low price prevailing for steel products and the fact that it is manufactured in enormous quanti ties to supply the demand coming from all parts of the country. It is constructed of the best Bessemer steel, heavily galvanized, and in the quantity and quality of the galvan izing and in the methods of weav ing the fence there has been a great improvement.
