WAY OF ESCAPE CUT OFF, JEFF
WILLIAMS JUMPS FROM WIN;
DOW AND IS SERIOUSLY IN
JURED.
A.carload of Hereford cat!
here'Friday morning oven .ne A.
& A. from Fort Worth, Texas,
where they were purchased about
ten days prior to that time by J. B.
Walton. The car Contained about six;
head, ranging in age from four to
six months, about, half of these were
bought by Mr. Walton direct from
tile dealer, the others had been bought
by Mr. Tucker, representative of the
B. & A., who has been on the
grouiid for some tithe, and sold by him
Mr. Walton.
After looking over ’ the situation
Mr. Walton decided to invest in the
young cattle as the majority of the
most desirable stuff around two years
old had already been picked up'by ex
perienced buyers.
The owners of the Stock Farm are
gradually acquiring a fine herd, prior
(o this purchase I they had about
thirty pure bred Hercfords and fifty
or more that are only half-bred. It
their purpose to eliminate the lat
ter entirely and stock their farm with
the pure-bred Herefords which are
considered a superior beef type. They
are proceeding along conservative
lines and so far are highly pleased
with thp results of their investment.
In an interview with Mr. Walton
relative to his recent trip and pur
chase, he stated that other farmers
who wished to obtain cattle from the
Texas dry belt, if not situated
'they can go there to make their pur
chase will find it perfectly safe to
risk the judgment of Mr. Tucker, who
is a thoroughly competent judge* of
cattle, and will buy conscientiously
for those who entrust him with this
responsibility. That other farmers
in Dooly are interested is shown by
the fact that Mr. Walton without any
Fire that originated in the ground
floor of the wooden building used as
a negro restaurant on the corner of
Second and Cotton Streets Wednes
day night about 12 o'clock, destroyed
that building, the large wooden sta
bles that adjoined the brick building
on the opposite corner and damaged
the latter. The stables and brick
buildings were the property of Mrs.
W. F. George. This loss was covered
by insurance. The restaurant was
operated by Jeff Williams and his son,
J. W., and owned by some of the
Leonard heirs. “Old Jeff,” as be is
known to all, with several other ne
groes was sleeping on the second
floor of the building, he being alone
in a back room with the door locked
The others managed to escape unhurt,
hue he, upon discovering the pas
sage way cut off by the flames, pitch
ed his trunk and mattress through
the window and jumped. He land
ed on the mattress but his head struck
the corner of the trunk fracturing the
jaw bone in several places. His in
juries are serious, he has been par
ried to Atlanta for treatment.
The old negro is said to have had
a considerable sum of money in the
house, mdst of which was destroyed.
He had no insurance.

In. order to expedite the rounding
up of slackers the war department is
offering a reward of $50.00 fdrtheir
delivery at the nearest army camp
or post. The following telegram
from the office of the Adjutant Gen
eral is authority for thi3 announce
ment:
No. 8215. A reward of $50.00
is payable for the delivery at the
nearest army camp or post of a de
serter. This reward is in full satis
faction of all' expenses incurred in
said delivery. A person who fails to
report to his Local Board for mili
tary service at the time specified in
his order to report is a deserter. A
person who fails to report for mili
tary service to the Adjutant Gener
al of the State by the date specified
in the order of the Adjutant General
to said peraons is a deserter.' It is
highly desirable from every stand
point that an effort now be made to
round up all persons who are delin
quent in reporting for military serv
ice. It is thought that if the fact of
reward is given the widest publicity
we shall have a great force of pollce
officers and even of individuals* inter
ested in bringing such delinquents
under military control. If, after
such persons are brought to a mili
tary authority, it appears to the mili-
tsry authority that their delinquency
is not wilful, they will be forwarded
to a mobilization camp and their Lo
cal Board will he given credit. If it
kppears that the delinquency was wil
ful, they will be prosecuted before a
court martial as deserters. In either
Case the reward is payable.

sale took advantage of the tempor
ary. cessation about midday and sold
several tracts at prices- that were
considered fairly commensurate with
the vflue of the land.
The original tract which contained
about six hundred acres is among the
most desirable farm property in the
county. It is ideally located with
ihany natural attractions and valu
able improvements. The land is well
ditched/and stumped, the soil of the
greater portion now in cultivation

most desirable tracts. The terminus
of this new road will be the McNeeso

by reason of the fact that it makes
the gin as well as'the .market more
easily accessible.
It is Mr. Smith’s purpose to sell the
entire tract including the residence
which he now occupies. Another
auction sale may be held at a later
date, it is probable however, that the
remaining property will be disposed
of at private sale. A majority of the

HOW TO SOW WHEAT.
Here are. seven rules'for successful
ly growing wheat as submitted by
popular farm journal.
1. Plow early. Give the land two
months to settle before sowing,
where possible.
Compact the latC-plowed land
with roller and harrow. :- t
3. Don’t plow after a cultivated
crop. Prepare such land with disk
snd harrow.
Maks the seed bed a fit place
for the tied.
Sow with a drill, sound, plump,
clean seed of adapted variety.
6. Prevent losses from smut by
treating infected seed with formalde
hyde. .
7. Make tho-soil fertile with ma
nure or fertilizers applied judiciously
where needed.
