The animal acted strangely for some time before it was thought to be dangerous, and then the rabies broke out furiously. It bit sev eral cats in the neighborhood where it appeared, and then jumped upon the six-year-old son of Samuel Akridge, catching and biting him severely. Leaving the boy, it made an attack on Mrs. Sarah Fuller, inflicting several scratches on her. The cat was killed and Dr. W. F. Carroll called in. It was his opinion that the cat was mad, and to make sure the head was sent to the secretary of the state board of health in Atlanta, and yesterday a telegram was re ceived from him saying that the brains of the cat showed unmis takable evidence of rabies. Both Mrs. Fuller and the boy will be placed under treatment at once. A Boy and a Cow. George Sonda of Ohio county is only 12 years old, but he is feeding and milking a registered Guernsey cow during an official production test. George’s father bought three Guernsey cows four years ago and with these as a start has raised a fine herd of 15 head. One of these cows, Im ported VVildflower 111, produced 13,(300 pounds of milk and 626 pounds of butterfat during an official test, as a five-year-old. A daughter of this cow, Lady Alice, at 23 months produced 12,000 pounds of milk and 600 pounds of butterfat in a year. The cow which young George is interested in is 21 months old and gives 35 pounds of milk, containing 4.7 per cent butterfat, per day. He is taking full responsibility for the work and is proving himself a capaole tester. SEED OATS FOR SALE. I have for sale 800 bushels of Choice Rust-Proof Seed Oats.

Macon, Ga., Sept. 21.—W'hile passing Rose Hill cemetery late Saturday night, just above the power house, C. L. Cooper, head waiter at the Hotel Lanier, was attacked by two highwaymer, both white men. and robbed of $47.20. After being knocked, down, Cooper says the larger man of the two, who wore gloves and a mask, fell on him placing his knees on his breast and clutching his neck with his hands. As the big man held Cooper to the ground the smaller man went through his pockets, se curing his purse and some small change that was loose in his pocket. After releasing him the men escaped, going in the di rection of the cemetery. Stunned by the blow he had received in the head and still suffering from the choking by the larger man, Cooper started towards the power house and met Motorman Stevens. A search was made with Stevens’ lantern and near the scene of the encounter with the highwaymen they found Cooper’s purse, empty. They also found a 25-cent piece and a trunk check that had been issued by a Jack sonville, Fla., concern. This check may be used in tracing the robbers. Long and Swift. A weedy little schoolmaster, with a watery eye and a ragged mustache was conducting a party of his pupils round the zoological gardens. He had taken his students round ail the houses, in each one of which he had imparted an assortment of more or less inaccurate information. The last place to be visited was the lion house. Drawing up the gaping boys before the cage of the largest of the animals —which he was careful to call the “king of beasts”—he said, with all the dignity he possessed: And now r supposing one of the great brutes was to escape, and was to hurl its massive weight into our very midst, what steps ought we to take so as to avoid being demolished and torn limb from limb?” Without a moment’s hesitation Bill Bailey spoke: “Long ’uns, sir!” said he, con fidently.—London Answers. Commissioner Stanley Lead Vote In State. Atlanta, Sept. 19. — Hal M. Stanley, commissioner of com merce and labor, is a mighty pop ular man in Georgia, if the re turns of the primary of August 19 are to be accepted as an evi dence of that sact —and for a public official, subject to the votes of the electorate—that is about the best evidence he wants.

Mr. Dorsey asked her if it was her dwelling that had been bur glarized. “No, sir, boss,” said the old woman, “it was my house. I lives in a house!”- Atlanta Geor gian.
