distance he did not stop to rest; and
changed horses only with every 10#

A Temptation Tor
The New Counties
It seems that most of the counties
recently formed are in prohibition ter
rlfory. These counties begin their
existence handicapped financially, the
taxes of last year going to the mother
counties, and all of them having
court, houses and jails to build and
other Improvements to make. The
temptation will naturally be strong
for them to establish dispensaries or
licensed saloons to help out financially
In the face of this the action of the
leading citizens and the heaviest tax
payers of Tift county In resolving to
keep their county dry at any coat,
seems especially commendable. This
promising young county is to be con
gratulated upon tho moral character
of her most prominent and influential
citizens.—Moultrie Observer.

naturally was In terror.
“After some seconds the globe of lire
rose vertically to the height of the
man’s face as he sat. and ho to save
himself leaned qu’ekly back* and fell
over. Tho fire ball continued to rise
and made its way toward a bole which
had boon made at the top of tho chim

the winter, but which, ns the tailor put
it afterward, ‘the fire ball couldn't see.'

“The ball stripped off the paper neat
