Work on tbe artesian well was

Dr. Burt, of tbo well committee

tbe old well, which will supply the
new wed with water, and at tbe
same lime provide a fine flow for

Wm. Hobbs was knocked on the

and Hobbs was sentenced to five

An Old War none.
In Schley county there is an old
mare, belonging to a Mr. Hobbs,
that has never forgotten tho train
ing which she received during the
late disagreeableness. When a filly
her master loaned her to his son,
who rode her during four years of
the war. She passed, unscathed,
through many hard fought battles,
and at tbe end of tbe war her gal
lant rider beturned her to his father,
who has kept her ever since. Al
though she is old in years, the
spirit of her youth remains, and at
the report of a gun or pistol, she
will jump into position at once, so
strong is tbe habit of early training
engrafted upon her “horse knowl
edge.”
Fruit* of Hunting.
Yesterday evening Merrick Ford

to return borne, but left Wilkins
and Monk down there enjoying
rare sport. Merrick caught a brim
measuring thirteen inches in length,
five inches in width, two inohes in
thickness, and weighed two pounds.
Just Like a Hule.
Wednesday evening a country
darkey was trying to harness a lit

beaded him off and he was captured

Abolished.
in compliance with an order from
headquarters, riding on freight
trains will be abolished on the
Southwestern road after April 1st
The cause of this order seems to
be that passengers expect too much
in the way of transportation on
freight trains, and so many suits
have grown out of it tbnt it has
been decided to abolish it entirely.
Hereafter paesengers must confine
themselves exclusively to regular
passenger trains.
