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.

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.

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.
