The recent gift of three buffalo

early history of these big game

Department of Agriculture on
Wichita game preserve, Oklahoma.

buffalo was first seen by Europeans.
The biological survey points out
that 40(1 years ago. when Cortez
tered Montezuma's capital. on

white men had their tirst view of buf
falo. a herd of which was maintained
ku the menagerie of the emperor.
This was in 1521, says the Detroit
News, when buffalo roamed in millions
over the tablelands of northern Mexico
and the great plains of the present
western United States.
An early writer, Antonio de Solis,
who first described Montezuma’s me¬
nagerie, said that the greatest rarity
in the collection was the “Mexican
bull,” which had ‘‘crooked shoulders, a
hunch on his back like the camel, and
Its neck covered with hair like the
lion. It was In these terms that he
characterized the American buffalo or
bison.
COAT THAT CHRIST
WORE ON CALVARY?
The cathedral at Treves - , in Rhenish
Prussia, is said to contain the coat
Jesus wore on the day of His cruci¬
fixion. Tradition states that it was
found by the Empress Helena while
on a visit to the Holy lamd in the
Fourth century and was deposited by
tier father for safe keeping in the
cathedral at Treves. In the Ninth
century the coat was concealed from
invaders in the crypt of the church,
but was brought to light and solemnly
exhibited in 1190. It was not shown
again until 1512, when, owing to (lie
vast crowds that flocked to see it,
Pope Leo X decreed that it should he
exhibited only once every seven years
thereafter. It Is said that In 1844 the
coat was viewed by one million pil¬
grims in the course of a single week.
In 1891, tlie first time of its exhibition
since 1844. it was seen by nearly two
million pilgrims. However, at least
Iwenty “holy coats’’ are exhibited and
said to have been worn by Christ that
day on the “hill called Calvary.”—

THE MIGRATION TO FLORIDA
Thomasville Times - Enterprise:
There are a few business and agri¬
cultural men, who fear the progress
that is being made in Florida, by
reason of the very evident fact that
a great many desirable citizens are
being enticed to that state from
( Georgia because of the extensive ad
j j vertising the and be exaggerated made in Florida stories real of
money to
es t a te.
• The land of flowers is making mar¬
velous strides. It has shown itself
as a premier developer of sand flats
and orange groves and tourist cities.
The work done in that state in that
respect is a very marvelous perform¬
ance. The state deserves credit for
being wideawake, active and intelli¬
gent in its efforts.
What has man to promise himself
however, if he does pull stakes and
go to Florida. If he is an artisan he
may make more money for a time
than he can elsewhere. If he is a
merchant he may do a good business
in the tourist season but rents are
high and expenses mount every year.
If he is a professional man he has
ample opportunity to exercise his
I powers and get good money for them
I if he hits it right. It’s the same with
■
'the real estate men or so-called and
i would-be real estate men, who are
operating iri the Florida cities.
Our people are not lured to
jnumbers jl an d of opportunity, however, in
as great as it is intimated,
The wj?e ones may g0 down and in -
vpgt a )jttle spare money and take a
chance at speculation but those with
out available money and with any¬
thing worth while to do* elsewhere
li 1 ” re content to remain at home, where
i
they find it both seemly and

that’is growing and progressive and

The exodus to Florida is the most
un fortunate part of the present sit
! nation. It betokens a haphazard and
(wholly unfortunate idea of the con
jd’tions that exist on the part of
I pie that are financially unable to
hear the strain of the long wait and
j the lost opportunity that too often

is the result of immature judgment.
It not only hurts Florida ^and fills
it with an undesirable class of citi¬
zens but it is seriously depleting
many sections of other states.
The idea to follow the crowd is
strong and false rumors or most
aggerated statements will often find
lodgement in the brain of men and
women, who are incapitated properly
measure and guage them and they
lose rather than gain by precipitate
arid il! advised action. Stay where
you are if you want to prosper. You
take no chance if you are well locat¬
ed. You do take a veTy big chanc,.
if you expect to go to Florida and
get rich in a week or two. We know
you will all come back and spend
your money at home but you may
not get it. It’s best to be safe rath¬
er than sorry.
COLLEGE TO BEAUTIFY OUR
GEORGIA CAPITOL GROUNDS
It will be a source of much pleas¬
ure to citizens of Georgia to know
that their state capitol grounds, long
neglected are to be permanently
beautiful. Plans to this effect were
made in Atlanta last week when rep
resentatives of the college and the
city of Atlanta met and planned for
the improvement of the surroundings
of the state house. The college is
furnishing the plantings and Atlanta
will arrange for the transportation
setting of the shrubs. ,

NEW EXPRESS RATE SHOW
MANY REDUCTIONS HERE
Changes in express rales and
charges ordered by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, effective
March 1, will result in many econo
mies for shippers, according to J. W.
Crawford, agent of the American
Railway Express Co., in this city,
New express rates go into effect
throughout the United States, Mr.
Crawford stated today.
While there are some increases in
rates, applying particularly in the
eastern territory, according to Mr.
Crawford, generally speaking the
changes are downward and lower
rates will prevail in the greater part
of the country. The most maiked re¬
ductions are in the West and the
South, thus enabling shippers to re¬
duce their transportation costs sub¬
stantially.

IF SKIN BREAKS j

\ APPLY SULPHUR 1 *
>
Just the moment you apply Mentho
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe¬
cialist. This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant coid cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery edzema,
that nothing lias ever been found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroving prop¬
erties, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pim¬
ples or rqughrtess. have for

ment. It quickly shows. You can get
