you can simply pour it back in the

Two years ago Unadilla, in Dooly

and complimentary notices are the

Mrs. J. W. Tatum, of Worth coun
ty, died at her home near Sylvester

" Mr. Dyke Branch is being urged

The Observer says that Sheriff

time with him or not. The Cordele
Sound Money League has held a
meeting and pretested against the in
vitation of Livingston after they had
made such active preparations to en
tertain the crowds to hear Smith.
Thursday of last week, as jailer
Lott, at Douglas, in Coffee couuty,
was feeding the prisoners in the
county jail, one of them, charged
with assault with intent to murder,
dashed from the building. A posse
quickly pursued him, and after a
short chase, the criminal was cap
tured. He was slightly wounded by
a shot from one of the pursuers, up

to do so.
Speaking of the Irwin county col
ony, the Savannah News says: “There
will be another colony established in
Worth county, by people also from
the west, within a short time. This,
however will be a much smaller col
ony, and it is expected that or.ly
about 5,000 acres will be purchased.
Arrangements are being made in this
colony for about 500 peop’e. The
location has not beeu definitely de
termined on, but it will be in Worth
county near Tifton.”
The large crowds who witnessed
the displays at the Tifton fair were
very much enthused on the subject
of an exposition for this city, and it
is possible that active steps will be
taken m that direction. With the
immense territory that Valdosta has
and with an exhibit that would cover
all of our resources, we could bring
20,000 people io this city during the
week as easily as we can talk about
it. The fair would turn loose thous
ands of dollars here and would give
us a cinch on our territory such as
we have never had before, besides
opening up new fields for the trade of
the city.—Valdosta Times.
Porter Stocks, who killed Alph
Cason in Atlanta, in 1892, and was
serving a five-year’s sentence in
Georgia’s convict camps, committed
suicide at the camps of the Mineola
Lumber Co., a few miles from Val
dosta, on Friday night last. He was
employed as assistant book-keeper at
the camp and entered the room where
the camp Physician and yard boss
were sitting on the night mentioned,
snatched up a 32-calibre pistol,
stepped out at the door and shot him
self near the heart. No cause is giv
en for the act, ns his sentence had
nearly expired, and a petition was
being prepared for his pardon.
One of the most efficient composi
tors in the Times composing room
enjoys the distinction of being one
of the very few printers in the coun
try who has never ridden on the train.
He is twenty-three years old and has
worked for the Times nearly four
years. During most of that time he
crossed the railroad track on an av
erage of four or five times a day go
ing to his home, and has often had
to wait on one side of the track for
a passenger train to pull out of the
way, yet he asserts that he never put
his foot on the steps of a passenger
coach or saw inside of ouc in his life.
Most men of his age and intelligence
would crawl up and take a peep, if
nothing more, just to see how the
thing looks inside.—Valdosta Times.
Wool Hud Stin«*p.
While there has ut all times been
more or less strife existing between tha
breedtq-s of wool and mutton sheep,
the man who regards the conditions
that influence the trade in wool and
mut ton can not help regarding such
differences as groundless and wholly
uncalled for. It is true that the best
mutton sheep do not grow the best
wool, and equally true that the iasst
wool sheep do not produce the best
mutton, hut these differences are not
so great in fact as they uro imagined
to he. 11 will he found an absolute im
possibility to produce a tinuly-finished
mutton, withoutun accompanying good
fleece, and nil the advantage of rich
food as found in a well-balanced ration,
dry and moderately warm quarters,
good pure water, Uiuduess aud con
tentment, all so necessary to the pro
duction of fine mutton at a profit, will
be found' of equal advantage to the
fleece. There will he good color, good
texture and good weight, and the wool
buyer will quickly recognize such a
fleece ds having been “grain fed,"
On the other hand, the wool sheep,
which many now claim to possess no
other virtue, if prop .rly handled, and
slaughtered nt a reasonable age will
produce a lamb chop or leg of mutton
good enough to meet the requirements
of the most fastidious of onr lovers of
this most delicious animal food.—Farm
