Within a week Ferry, the slayer of Lanier, has been tried,- convicted, sentenced and had a new trial refused hint by Judge Candler. Ilis case is now before the supreme court. A well known Chicagoan, J. 31. Loot, died the other day from .having smoked about 150,000 cigars. His slow suicide, however, was due to a cancer which required forty years for development. The anniversary of Stonewall Jack- son was appropriately observed at Ocala, Fla-, Monday us Memorial day by tbe Daughters of the Confed- eracy. . The Tennessee exposition executive commitlee has invited the delegates to the world’s postal oongicss to at- tend the exposition, and also those to tbe convention of the national farmers’ press association. 31 is* Claude P. Middlebrooks, of Atlanta, has been selected as sponsor for the Georgia division of the Uni- ted Confederate Veterans’ Associa tion, .which meets in annual convon- tion in Nashville, June 22. Thousands of acres have been planted at Manatee, Fla,, this season in vegetables, and the crop is the best ever grown there. Large ship* ments are going forward daily. They are moatly sold at Manatee to north ern buyers at $2 per crate, which will net from- $800 to MOO per acre to the growers. The-Bibb county board of educa tion, . which controls both city and country schools, held the most im> portant meeting of its history Tues day night. In carrying out the pol icy of Superintendent Don Q. Abbott, tbe committee on teachers declared unanimously in favor of establishing a normal school for preparing teach ers for tbe public schools.

Applicants most be grad uates of the Gresham High school, or most stand examination before enter ing the normal school, which will be conducted all during the scbooljrehr. Action on the free book plan was Location, Climate and Health of Tifton. The following from the Southern Immigrant is of interest to our home people us well as to the people of tbe North who tire thinking of seeking a borne in the South. Tifton u one of the most 6nely lo w'll give the following concert at throated cities of the South, nftt only Fair Iluildiiig. All ate tnVited to at- from a commercial standpoint, but from a healthful one as well, being high and dry, 400 feet above sea level, in a country gently undulating and covered with balmy pines, tbe frsgruuce of which carries- with it bealthgiring p'ronertfca to those afflicted with any and all kinds of lung and pulmonary troubles. Tif ton is aboat fifty-five miles from the Northern Florida line, in thirty-one and one half degrees latitude, 105 miles south of Macon and 200 miles south of Atlanta, on three lines of railroad, two of which, tire Georgia Southern & Florida and Plant Sys tem, are the largest trank lines of the South, the other being tbe Tif ton & Northeastern, running from Fitzgerald, a distance of tweuty-fivc miles, owned and operated by Capt. n. H. Tift of this city, who is, at this time, contemplating further con nections which will open up a direct route from the Sea Board on the northeast, to the Gulf on the south west, so that Tifton is supplied with shipping and passenger facilities equal to any for reaching points in Cuban Question. The Caban question is being con sidered by the senate committee on foriegn relations and may be reported to-day. Great oare has been taken to get the exact facta of the aituation in Cuba at present and the report to the senate will be very interesting. Blemlrars of the oomtpitte feel that the question before the senate is a serious one and that what action that body may take will have great weight with tho administration. It is probable that any action by the President will bo delayed till the return of 3Ir. Calhoun, who went to Cuba to investigate the cause of the death of Dr. Ituiz. Mr. Calhonn is expected to report on the general condition of affairs on the island. Equal Suffragists. The Atlanta Equal Suffrage Aszo- ciation is in trouble.

Heretofore the county school com missioners _ have held their annual session with the Georgia Teachers Association but they have now per fected and independent organization. At the next session plans involving the broadening and developing of the school system of the state will be considered. ' Stato School Commissioner G. R.

Gov. Atkinson asks that a repre sentative body from every town of any size in the stute lie present and take part in. tho grand line of march while in the North snow to the depth of from three to four feet is lying on tho ground and tho thermometer ranges from 15 degrees to 40 degrees below zero, in this delightful section green grass may be seen, birds singing, roses and violets in bloom, the sun shining warm and, in fact, everything which could bo asked for to mako up a climate as complete as can be found anywhere on the face of the globe. Of course there is winter here; lint remember that it is nothing like the winters of tho North. Snow is almost unknown, while tho time during which there are any frosts at nil docs not exceed three months, and then at no time does it form ice over one-half inch in thickness, while at this writing, 3farch 14th, there is uot a house in tbe city in which the doors and windows are not standing open. To people not posted it would seem that in n climate where it is so warm in winter, it must of necessity be exceedingly hot in summer, but such is not tbe case, tbo thermometer scarcely ever reaching the point of 100 degrees, while in -some sections of the North that point is passed al most every dsy for two • or three months.. . The health of Tifton and contig uous territory is something phenome nal, the death rate not excelling four in every thousand people per year and it hardly reaches that per cent- nge. Of uourae there are • reasons; and valid ones, for the healtbfulnesa of tbia section. Tjie most soft water to be found on eartb, tbe clear balm- laden, health-giving atmosphere, kept gently stirring by the Gulf and ocean breezes, the clean, dry, well drained soil, the inhalation of fra grance of ever-growing vegetation, and last but not least, the content ment wbioh pervades the very air, canting one to feel so truly happy that sickness is almost an impossi bility. There are no cates of conta gions disease in or abont Tifton, whits on the oth^r hand, many jure here who, in tbe bortb, were senenaly troubled with lung and pulmonary troubles, and almost without excep- beibg benefitted.
