Diabolical Attempt to Burn the Resi
dence and Barn of Jim Hillard,
Paper Stuffed Under Shingles.
The Cuthbert Leader reports that
an attempt was made to burn the
residence and barn of Mr. Jim Hil
liard, who lives near there.
About midnight Mr. Hillard and
his family waked to find the kitchen
on fire. By prompt work the flames
were quenched and the family retir
ed, only to be aroused two or three
hours later by fire in the kitchen.
Again they put out the fire,
Incendiarism was not suspected
until next morning when it was dis
covered that oil and turpentine had
been poured on the kitchen and the
barn. Paper stuffed under the shin
gles of the barn and lighted, but
luckily the flames went out when
they burned to the shingles.
Mr. Hilliard had the county hounds
brought to the scene. The dogs
struck a trail, but lost it at the road,
and were unable to pick it up again.
There is no direct clue as to the
guilty party, but the matter is being
iavestigated.

Application of Fertilizers
se e -
To The Farmers of Terrell County and Vicinity:
We ask that you pardon us for suggestions with reference to the application of fertilizers; however, we
consider this question vital to the interest of all farmers who use fertilizers. Deep and thorough prep
aration of the soil we all know 1s essential and is the foundation for best results Shallow application
of fertilizers we believe is imperative and should be unconditionally adhered to. '
Interculture the Profitable Way of Farming.
We advise that one half of your fertilizers should be applied at the time of planting cotton. The last of
May make an application of a well balanced top-dresser. This carries your cotton through the critical
period of July and August, the cotton-making months of the season. By this method you furnish the
plant nourishment when it needs it most. The old method of one application before the planting
period results in much exhaustion of fertilizers before the fruiting period 1s over.
OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AUTHORIZES THE METHODS ABOVE OUTLINED

It was told the court that when not

the attention of the salesladies; that
he had no business in the show room |
where the ladies were trying on suits,
and that his constant attendance had
resulted in a noticeable falling off in
trade. l
Evans sajd he had an interest in]
the business, «nd was looking after |
this interest when he. visited the!
place. The court permitted him to!
visit the establishment when he
should find it necessary to discuss
business with the president of the

THE DAWSON NEWS
According to Information From Sen
ator Bacon's Office. Rumored Split
With Smith Still Talked.
WASHINGTON.—Inquiring at the
office of Senator Bacon late this af
ternoon as to whether there had been
any recommendation for United
States marshal for the Southern dis
trict of Georgia, the customs collect
orship at Savannah, or whether there
had been any changes in the Geor
gia political slate brought the reply
that there had been absolutely none.
Those here who follow Georgia
matters closely believe that some
thing definite may be forthcoming
on appointments at an early date un
less friction should arise between the
Georgia senators.
There have been rumors of a split
between Senators Bacon and Smith to
the effect that previous agreements
might be rescinded, each insisting
upon his nominee, but nothing tangi
ble has yet developed.

placed them on the stage. i
As the entertainment was to be
repeated on the following night the

biulding. That night teh ring-tailed
varmint gnawed out of his own cage
and into the chicken cage and de
voured three hens and killed a
fourth. He disappeared under the
stage and at last accounts was still
missing.—Cuthbert Leader.
