Wilbur F and Joht F. Sti’ts They |
ar* fifty-’our years od. and look ro

can ted them apart. They married

still exist.

“Up in stead) old Maine indignant cit

The Hollanders are perhaps of nil
the Northern people the.-e who smoke
the most. The humility o' their
climate makes it almost a necessity,

show I: >w de> j y ro fed is th. “ ib’t, it
is enough to siy < hat the b Unit'll of
the trekschtiit, the ncqtiatic diligence
of Holland, measures distances by
smoking. From here, they say, to
sucL-and-siieb a place, it is not so
many miles, but so many pipes When
you enter a house, after the first salu
tatiocs, your host offers you a cigar ;
when you take leave, he hands .ou
another, and often insists upon filling
your cigar case.
t’ver the line, in < »hi<) county, says
an exchange, a nanied Miller
married a widow wh had a grown-up
daughter. His father !<” in ! >vu with
I father became
■.tie son s son—tn— aw, and the step
daughter became his mother. Recent
ly the son's wife had a child. The
child was Miller's father's brothet—ir.— '
aw and Miller s own uncle, for he was
a brother of bi I stepd inghter. Miller's |
father's wife —his stepmother—also I
had a son, who was, of course. Miller’s I
brother, and incidentally Miller’s
grandchild, he, was the son of *
Miller’s daughter. Thus Miller’s own J
wife was his mother's mother and
Miller became his wife’s grandchild at
the same time. And then, to top the 1
whole thing off, as the husband of his ’
grandmother, he was hi* own grand- t
father.

A Western inventor ha* perfected!
what he calls a tornado destroyer. It '
is a cannon mounted on a pivot, with
a wind vane and an air trigger, says i
the Savannah News. The weather ;
vane i* for the purpose of aiming the
cannon. As the tornado approaches, (
according to the inventor, the cannon •
will be automatically aimed directly
at the funnel-shaped cloud, and whin
the velocity of the wind reaches sixty . 1
five miles an hour the trigger will be '
snapped and the cannon discharged ■ i
the projectile throwing the funnel off i 1
its balance and breaking up the storm |
into a harmless zephyr. To our mind,
there is one fault to be found with I
this apparatus As is very well known,
those tornadoes are big whirl-winds;
they travel ; n a circle. By the time
the velocity of the wind reaches sixty
five miles, the point at which the deto
nation would occur, the cannon might
be sweeping around the circle at a j
rate that would give the shivers to all |
(hose who chanced to be within |
range
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, M-., lately had a wonderful, T;-
liverance from a frightful death. In tell
ing of it he says : “I was taken with ty
phoid fever, that ran into pneumonia. My
lungs became hardened. I was so weak I
couldn't even sit up in bed. Nothing help
ed me. I expected to soon die of Consump
tion, when 1 heard of Dr. King’s New
Discovery. One bottle gave great relief.
I continued to use it, and now am well
and strong. I can’t say too much in its
praise.” This marvellous medicine is the
surest and quickest cure in the world tor
all Throat and Lung Trouble. Regular
sizes 50 cents and SI.OO. Trial botttes free

One of the liest -toric- told at the r.- .-nt
dinner in Albany given by Senator Tim
Sullivan was this:
“Drv Dollar” went into Chauncey M,
Depew’s office recently, and Senator Depew
greeted him.
“Well. Tim, you are looking real pros
perous,” he said. ‘‘You must be having a
i profitable season at Albany.”
■'Oil, yes, senator: ’ replied Tim. "I
can’t complain.”
"Well, now—tell me, Tim.” said Depew,
“are these stories true about all this
crooked business in the legislature?”
•‘On the dead level, senator,” was Tim's
answer, ‘‘now, I’ll tell you. The only
crooked thing up there this session was

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor. '
I '
idea that land was the safest investment i
that a man could make in Georgia, and as ;
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say,in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether, about $lO per acre, without
improvements; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m iney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a ,
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to nnuket gardening, and for
p
it offefsafine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best <>f pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place 1 know of, and T am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call Will vouch for what 1
say-
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annuai payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion oi one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and are as |
good as gold.
I am not particularly wedded to this
plan of getting rid of my lands, but only
suggest the idea —any better plan would
b j thank fu 11 v su bsti t uted.
