Nugget: I left Kansas City on t-ho 21st, of April, 1908, for the great North West Canada. very long I had a trip but enjoyed it nicely to lmye no acquaintances although there old i ' vore plenty of people on the road. 1 went through St. Paul, Minn.. , . j ten miles from there to Minneapo- Onc candidate down m Georgia I,. , . . , „ , . , , i lis, where are located the greatest lias already paid out two hundred!, , _ , „ • .. .

Heard counties* In the future wouldn't it well'tO' olbet nil county officers who can transact tho bnsinesg of the office themselves? Three hundred and firo bales-of cotton raised on the state r s prison fawn* brought $28• GOO. This- is a good showing for it is more than tho farm originally cost. Then it is nearly all prairie lands. The aities in the United States be along the line are all lighted by eleotricthy. On the Canada side- candles are used. Candles are us ed in stores, some having as many as 50 cnndles in a> single store. After passing through Moose | Jaw, Canada, nothing but prairie for live hundred miles. Plenty of The Constitution now offers another sj'TTiOO 1 to be given away on guesses at the number of bales of cotton rccoivcd at all United States ports from Sept. 1, 190J to May >st, 1904. Isn’t it getting about time tho democratic executive committee of Lumpkin- county was mooting and organizing and getting ready for Business?; Other countios-hnvc al ready acted. The Manettn-Journnl, although oonsidciabty damaged by the re cent tire in that eity and bad to be moved'to new quarters,, only miss ed one issue. It is n> great' weekly and wo arc proud to see it before us again. The daily papers stato that tho snow of Thursday was confined to a narrow bolt of lOOmilcs m width running from Vicksburg to Virs gmia, ranging from ffyo to ton inches deep. It wtvs-sovon and a bulf inches deep in Atlanta. The expense account of the United Stotts' senate shows- that 89,000 quinine pills were consum ed by that body dhring the- past year. JPerhaps this explains the denfness of some senators to the demands of tho people, says tho Ac worth Post. elk, antelope and wolves. We could see as many as twenty head; of antelopes together from the train. They are preparing to irrigate! part of the prairie country as it is ! very dry until you reach Calgary. Here it is different. Calgary is a 1 beautiful city of eight thousand j population. There I saw the first spruce pines and Canada poplars, soft water as ever run out of the Rocky Mountains, clear and nice running over pebbles. From fehis city f could see the Rocky Mountains. Looked like they were only a few mites away but tiie distance is over a hundred miles west of the city. K spent two days there and then went to Edmonton, two hundred miles. I found thriving little towns all along from ten to twelve miles apart. The farmers are doing well*- saise- fifty bushels of wheat to the acre, oats 125< potatoes 400, vege tables of all kinds. Cabbage sell at one cent a pound. Turnips grow large enough to weigh 25 pounds each. All kinds of small grain grow there, but corn won’t ear. Makes good fodder but no corn. Edmonton is on th-e north side of the Saskatchewan River. Tho banks are frwo hundred feet high. They are going to build the railroad across this river. On North Edmonton is frhe line now. I* went from- there back south From there west 80 gb by, it is still growing. Every body knows it is rotten with fraud, but tho office holders and political schemore aro afraid to expose it r truthfully remarks the Cobb Coiin-- ty Courier.- ountv | A Negro Captured in a Chim ney. It is reported that down in Gwinnett county recently a negro saw a planter with a large amount of money in bills place them in a trunk at home. This negro secured tho services of two other negroes to assist him in getting it. The three negroes climbed to the top of the roof of the house, there attached a rope to the body of the one who knew whe-o the money was placed and let him down the chimney. Tho darkies got about their work most too early, for as soon as the bare feet of the do scending negro touched tho hearth stone a splutter of sparks and cin ders arose round his bare legs. His struggles awakened the owner of tho house, who was amazed to see a pair of black legs dancing in the hob embers on tho earth. Ho made an assault upon the legs with a,stout stick, but the cries of the darkey caused him- to desist. When discovered-,, blie negro’s two accom plices made their escape and the rope dropped 1 dbwn, the chknocy. The negro became wedged tightly in his prisou and a large portion of the brick had to be removed be fore he was extricated, with* badly blistered feet. All three negroes are now in jail. The question has been raised as to what crime the trio can- he indicted for, as neither burglarly, larceny, trespassing, nor disturbing tho peace scorn to cover the case. There would have been no question about it had that planter built up a large fire and smoked the would bo thief to death. This be ought to have done.

Leonard of Vionna, Ga., last Friday sold three bales of cot ton at 15 cents which was ginned 1 ' Ip the fall'of 1881; probably being tlio oldfest' lbt of cotton in America. When Mr. lLeonard‘stored the cot ton he declared 1 He would hokT if until it brought 1'5 centk, add* this price was offered yestordhy by Homer Williams, a buyer for E! L. Harper, of Cordele. By pro® art Ore explosion of a charge of dynamite Tuesday after noon at Shuman’s camp on tho Seabord grade, near Powder* Springs, an old negro known as- “Uncle Dick,” was blown to pieces and Thomas Shuman, contractor in charge, was seriously injured,- as were seven laborers. It is not thought that any of tho injured will die. Charles Shuman, a brother of the one injured, was instantly killed at tho same Bpot two-weeks ago.—Acworth Post, section of land. The cattle and horses live on tho range the year round and keep fat, and no flies to bother them. They ship cattle off of th-e grass in April- ami May weighing from 1590to 2000 pounds three years old. Railroad land is from six to ten dollars per acre, but a person can Homestead 100 acres for ten dbl- lhrs and live on it three years and get udeed.
