First Artesian Well.
in Southeast Georgia
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 12.-Geo
logists have claimed that it was j
impossible to obtain a flowing!
well in this section of the state!
until this week, when 0. H. ;
Hightower, living a mile and a
half from the city, struck a free-:
flowing stream of sulphur water
at a depth of 100 feet. No other
flowing artesian well is known
anywhere in this section of the ;
state.
Chimney Smoke a Symbol.
“Can anybody tell me,” said
Mr. Dreamington, “why I like
the sight of smoke?
“Not far from where I live
there’s a tall stack of a factory
of some sort. I love to sit and !
watch the smoke rising from that
tall chimney, rolling sometimes!
straight up, or blowing this way
or blowing that. This smoke
is our weather-vane But smoke
has many significances.
“See the smoke Hying fiercely I
back from the stacks of an ocean
steamer sign of tremendous j
energy and conquering power.
“See in some peaceful country
side in the still air of early morn- j
ing smoke curling upward from j
the stout chimney,of the farmer’s j
home, betokening a stirring with- j
in and breakfast soon.
“See the smoke that rises from
the campers fire freedom and
good cheer.
“See the smoke <>f burning in-:
cense in the churches devotion.
“The smoke of the myriad
chimneys of the town, activity,
endeavor, pushing et. rpriseand
the rich and the jioor.
Smoke is the univ ersal outward
sign of a man; the vorld around
it signifies everything that hu
man life, savage or civilized, im
plies. This no doubt, is the rea- j
son why I like the sight of smoke; j
but I should be glad if somebody
could make it plainer for me for
my better, keener understand- j
ing.”
Solving the Egg Problem.
It was a genius there was no
doubt about it. His hair was j
long, and there was a dreamy, ,
far-away look in his eyes, and he j
had a scheme that would make |
him rich rich beyond the dreams 1
of avarice.
“What is your schemeV” asked
a friend of his, seeking the secret
information.
“Come to a quiet corner and 1 1
will tel! you.” said tlu* long-look- j
ed one. “Tis thus. It has been
estimated that the common fe-j
male housefly lays 20,00(1,000 eggs
in a season.”
“Well,” answered his friend, j
“what of that?”
“1 propose, ” continued the
other in a triumphant voice, “to
graft the housefly on to the hen. ’’
Where Com Grows Tall.
The prospot of a big corn
yield in Kansas- this fall recalls j
the story of tin leg Kansas corn
at the Philadelphia centennial.
Among the Kansas agricultural
exhibits at that fair was some j
corn on the stalk grown in the
Neosho river bottoms. It was
2<* feet high and the ears looked,
as long as stove wood. An old
lady from Vermont gazed at it
and declared that the stalks were
spliced. Then she took another
look and changed her mind.
“But," said she, “it didn’t grow
that big in one year. It must
have grown for two seasons’’
The man in char of the Kan
sas exhibit was somewhat of a ;
prevaricator himselt. “Lady,”
said he in great solemnity, “we
are almost ashamed to exhibit
this corn. This has been a hot,
dry year in Kansas and we have
not been able to raise very large
corn. But we felt that it wouldn’t
do to have a Kansas exhibit with
out corn, so we brought this little
stuff along. In a really good
year the corn grows so high in
Kansas that eagles build their
nests in the tassels, knowing full
well that they are out of range
of the farmers’ guns. ’

Man Stumbles on Riches.
Clear Lake, Arizona. —T. Ollie
Phillips was a poor mining pros
pector less than a year ago. j
When he was not roaming over
the mountains he made his home
at Bisbee. Recently he was
paid *200,000 for undeveloped
gold and silver claim situated in ;
this new camp. W. S. Small and !
I. H. Kniffen, .who purchased!
the property from Mr. Phillips,:
have in turn just disposed of it j
to a syndicate of Boston and
Springfield (Mass) men. headed
by Smith Bros., the reported con
sideration being $500,000. The
new owners have taken steps to
organize a company to operate
the mine. It is claimed there is
enough ore in sight to justify
the erection of a 250-ton mill. It
1 w'us by chance that Mr. Phillips |
’discovered the vein which has|
brought him a fortune. He was
making a trip through this sec
tion less than twelve months ago,
accompanied by a photographer.
1 whose mission it was to got some
views of the famous Apache Box
| Canyon. One day, while the
' photographer was off taking pic
tures, Mr. Phillips aimlessly
walked through the Dictureseue
'canyon. His trained eye caught
| sight of gold in a bowlder that
i was lying in the Bottom of the
gorge. He examined other bowl
ders and found gold in all of
them. Keeping the discovery to
himself, he remained with the
photographer until the latter had
! finished his work. He then re
turned to the canyon and began
a systematic search for the vein
from which the bowlders had
come. He succeeded in finding
it upon the wall of the canyon
land staked out his claim.

authorities at Clarksville are j
searching for eight married wo-j
men who disguised in men’s!
clothing, tarred and feathered J
Miss Minnie Lavally, a pretty j
22-year old girl, near the town \
last night and then warned her j
to leave or suffer worse conse- j

ed be the police if they could j
learn the identity of the eight j
women.

of her.
A scandal, involving a number
of families, is threatened as a
result*of the affair. The women l
dressed themselves in their hus- 1

girl to a lonely spot about a mile
from the town. The victim was
stripped and moulten tar was
poured over her body. She was
then warned to leave and “never j
show her face in Clarksville
again.”
