THE VALDOSTA’"
HIKING JOE” IS
IN VALDOSTA
>He is Walking from San Francisco
to Boston on a Strictly Vegetable
Diet, Without Sleeping in Doors
Night and Without Riding.—$5 f 000
Is the Stake Offered.
(From Friday’s Dally.)
“Walking Joe," a youngster who
started from San Francisco on Jan
uary 1st, 1905, to walk to Boston,
IMaes., on a wager, reached Valdosta
last night, and is spending a day or
two here resting up. Joe has until
{January 1st, 1910 to complete bis
walk, and is on the easy stretch now.
He is making his long tramp of
©ver 5,000 miles under the auspices
of the Boston»Travelling Club. If
he completes the jaunt by Jan. 1st,
1910 he will receive ^5,000; if not
he will get nothing. It Is not the
time limit put on the walk that has
given him concern, but the rules un
der which he is to make the trip,
flhe rules are as follows: He must
eat no meat, he must not sleep In
doors a single night, he must accept
io donation or favor, and he must
tiot ride a foot of the way. If he la
caught violating any of the rules he
will forfeit his $5,000, and the Infor
mant will be paid $500 by the Boston
Post
For a man who has been living ex
clusively on a vegetable diet and
roughing it, Joe looks remarkably lit
mnd strong. He carries no baggage
Whatever, and his only possessions
are what he has on his back, a thin
cheap suit without coat, and with
heavy walking shoes. Even in the
©pen air every night he has not suf
fered from the cold like he has from
the heat.
Joe will remain In Valdosta until
Monday morning, and jrlll deliver a
lecture at the City Hall^gt 8:80 Bun*
day afternoon. He will tell of the
' - W»^trip, and saxa that
in other town* where he has lectur
ed he has drawn big crowds. The
lecture will be free, but those who
attend may, pay him what they think
the entertainment has been worth,
hut no more.
As stated above he is not allowed
to accept contributions, and those
who give him anything at his lec
ture must do so solely on a basis of
value received.
Joe reached the city from Thomas-
Ville at 7 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
and slept last night on the porch of
a house near the G._S. F. d**pot. He
has not decided where he will camp

Were Married This Morning.
While one of the Times reporters
was In tho Ordinary’s office this
morning there came In two fine look
ing young people—strangers, of
course—lady and gnn'leman. The
man 3ald: “Well, we have come
back, but a little later than we ev-
pected.” The Ordinary said “all
right,” at the same time holding up
some marriage license and saying
the words that made them husband
and wife.
They were a couple who had come
up this far on the excursion from
Jacksonville yesterday. It seems that
they had agreed to be married here. ,
They left the city today happy and
Icontented. Their names are with
held for a short while for good reas
ons.
