Cummings, the Congressman journalist, in a recent syndicate letter on “Democratic Wheel Horses in Con gress,” pays this high and deserved tribute to one of Georgia’s veteran rep resentatives : “Henry G. Turner, of Quitman, has taken a very active part in all the hear ings before the committee of ways and means, and, like Speaker Crisp, was at one time chairman of the committee on elections. Indefatigable in his commit tee work, he is a power on the floor of the house. His speeches, though few, are well seasoned and carry great weight. There is nothing dramatic about him. He speaks calmly and dispassionately, confining himself so the point at issue, and elucidating the facts very clearly and convincingly. Extremely courteous in bearing and language he commands both the attention and the consideration of all who hear him. He is one of the steadiest and strongest of the wheel horses in the house. The nation, let alone his state, could illy afford to lose That you mus’nt think the girl with J him.” False Teeth Wanted. An aged negro woman, whose face bore the wrinkles of almost a century, hobbled up to Hospital Steward Cragg*8 desk at Hotel Brunswick yesterday and, in feeble tones, said: “Boss Doctor, I wants a set ’o false teeth, I is old, and I can’t chaw dem commissery grub.” The faithful hospital steward was taken aback. He had been petitioned in the name of Uncle Sam, for every other con ceivable thing—but this requisition was an ultimatum of audacity. Courtesy, however demanded a repression of the exasperation which Dr. Cragg felt. He immediately referred the matter to Sur geon Murry, but Dr. Murray referred it back with power to act. Dr. Cragg an nounces that he will receive sealed bids during his office hours from any person who has a surplus set of false teeth, and is determined to furnish the old woman with the requisites for enjoying the com missary table d’hote.—Brunswick Times- Advertiser. the “mussed” hair you saw at church last nighty bad’nt combed it.

A private letter received in San Fran cisco from one of the officers of the cruiser San Francisco relates an exciting incident of the recent voyage of the cruker from New York to Key West, Fla. When about 340 miles from Key West a wreck was sighted, The man 1 of-war made for it, and found it to be the schooner Drisko, of Gosport, Me., and from her log it was learned that she was bound from Galveston to Kingston, Jamaica. The schooner, which was loaded with lumber, was caught in a hurricane and was swept fore and aft. Captain Watson of the San "Francisco decided to tow the wreck to Key West, but at midnight the hawsers parted. The cru’ser, however, remained by the schooner until the next morning, when Captain Watson deemed it advisable to blow up the wreck with dynamite. Two attempts were made, but without success, when Captain Watson gave orders to ram the wreck. The San Francisco was thereupon sent ahead at a sj>eed of about twenty knots, and the wreck was cut in two. The lumber poured out of the two halves and she gradually sauk beneath the waves.

Horrible Murder. Ocala Capitol. The murder of W. J. Duncan at Lake City Junction last Monday was one of the most fiendish crimes ever committed in Florida. Three negroes went to the store and killed Duncan and then rob bed his person and store. Two of the negroes have been captured, one of whom had Duncan’s pistol in his pos session and has confessed the crime. One of the two answers to the descrip tion of Miss Laubach’s assailant, and will, in all probability, be carried to Or lando when Columbia county gets through with him, if it ever does. There is a fortune in fruit and truck oil wiregrass land, and those who are first to realize this fact and take advantage of it, will derive the greatest financial benefit.—Worth Local. Gov.

No woman ever grunted her way to glory. A half dozen hearty laughs are equal'to a meal of victuals. The man who gives much to the poor doesn’t leave much for thieves to steal. Sugar coated lies are easily swal lowed. For Sale Cheap. A splendid three-horse gasoline engine, just the thing to run a country press or any other small machinery, for sale cheap.
