Thomasville, July 14. —From a' third of an acre of land Charles Pittman, farming about two and a half miles from Thomasville, has recently gathered 3, GOO pounds of tomatoes. These to matoes were of the finest va riety and all sound. Other farmers in this section are engaged in the work of can ning tomatoes both for home con sumption and for marketing, and it begins to look as if soon the merchants of this section will be able to buy much of their canned goods at home. The crop of tomatoes in south Georgia has been the finest this year that has probably ever been known, and a great many have been shipped to the northern markets. The prices received have been unusually good, and dealers report that the quality of the Georgia tomato is superior to any other received this year. Big Eagle Attacks Woman In Colquitt. Moultrie, July 14.- Mrs. G. VV. Hall, aged 70, residing in the northern part of the county, was attacked by a monster eagle this morning. Mrs. Hall heard a shote sqeal ingand went out to see what was tie matter and discovered the hog in the throes of death from wounds produced by the eagle's beak. She tried to drive the bird away and it then attacked her. The aged woman was badly scratched and beaten up by the bird’s wings. Her husband, at work near by, attracted by the rmise of the battle, hurried to his wife’s relief. The eagle, still de fiant, remained on the ground and was killed by Mr. Hall with a fence rail. It me; ured from the tip of one wing to the other, nine feet and is the largest ever killed in this section. The eagle is thought to have come up from the great cypress swamp on Warrior river. Pecan Industry To Raise Price Os Land. 1 ; Albany, July 12. —Two big land deals have just been con-; * summated irt Dougherty county | show that the Albany pecan dis trict is not to he surpassed by | other section in its undisputed j claim of having the largest acre age devoted to pecan culture in j the world. ; The Coolawahee place of Col. 0 John P. Fort, of Athens, nine ; miles southwest of Albany, has been sold to Jesse & Hand, pecan ! | people of Chicago. The place ! contains 3,000 acres, but the pe can people purchase only 2,500; acres. The price paid was >sls j an acre. Developed by the plant- j ing of paner-shell pecan trees, ; the property in a few years will , easily sell for S2OO to S3OO per; 'acre, as has been frequently j shown in similar developments ! in this famous pecan belt, i The same firm, Jesse & Hand, ! has purchased the Smut Eye place, southwest of Albany, 750 acres, from Waxelbaum & Co., of Macon, at $12.50 per acre. This place also will be planted in ; pecans. ■ There are some other large pe ; can property deals pending ini this section, which, if carried ; through, will add still further to - the prestige of the Albany pecan 1 district. Didn’t Enjoy The Glory. There was a street parade re cently in London representing a , Roman pageant, relates the Path finder. Two ladies stood looking , on, one telling the other whom the characters represented. “This one, ” she said, “is .Iu- i I lius Caesar. And this one is Brutus. This next one is—l’m : not quite sure —I think he is Ap pius Claudius; anyhow, I’ll ask . him.” “Excuse me, sir, hut are you Appius Claudius?” “No, mum; I’m un’appy as j blazes.” j THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913. Donkeys Bray —Wet Day. 1 Cat’s fur is full of electricity, I and before a thunderstorm a cat is always extremelely lively and playful, probably on account of it’s electrical condition. Before rain is expected you will see a cat assiduously washing its face. Donkeys will bray loudly and continuously at the approach of a ; storm. Jf cows lie down in the 'early morning instead of feeding, or huddle together with their tails to windward, then there is rain about. Like cats, the approach of a thunderstorm makes cows ex tremely frisky. They run up and I down the field and butt imagi : nary obstacles at such times. : Sheep turn their heads to the 1 j wind when the day is going to he fine. But if they graze with j their tails to windward it is a sure sign of rain, so experienced 'shepherds say. Like cows, too, j they show an unusual liveliness at the approach of a storm. Even the sedate pig is watched by country weather prophets; for it is always uneasy when rain is coming. Most birds are restless when a l change is expected. Rain is in dicated by guinea fowls and pea cocks squalling, by parrots .whistling, and by pigeons return ing home unusually early. There is an old rhyme in the country which is often quoted, ! and which it may he well to re member. It turns: “If the cock goes crowing to bed, He’ll certainly rise with a watery head.” Sheriff ale.
