UCKLES NOTES GATHERED AT KATHLEEN Th« Melon Grower* In That lection Are Troubled With Thieve*, One of Wbora Was Filled With Shot Recently. Kathleen, July 8.—(Special.)—We have had good rains for the past two week*, and while the melon crop has been cut oft fully 40 per cent., the beet farmera now think that a fair corn crop will be made. Cotton doesn't seem to have suffered much In consequence of tho long dry spoil. The melon Kronen along the Hne of the Georgia. Southern have been troub led considerably with tramps who would coftio along and help themselves to the best melons near the track. In order to put a atop to the mischief done by these pedestrian peats. Mr. J. S. Bryan, who has been troubled so much by their depredations on 4ds melon field, early one morning last week slexed his gun, went out to his melon patch and se< cretcd himself to nwslt the ar rival bf tho melon thieves. Ho had not been waiting long before a negro tramp made his approach, und after looking around to see that no ono was near, began to devcair one of Mr. Bry• sn's largest melons. When he hail about half finished eating, he was surprised to hear the report of a gun wttbln sev enty-five yards of him, and to feel tho shot as they entered his pumuially nudo body. He sprang to his feet and* ran away, but was pursued and shot at until all tho umuirtUlm was exhausted. It Is unnecessary to ray that no more melons have bean stolen from that patch. Kwthloen is tho largest ohlpplng point on tho Cleorgla Southern between Ma con and Palntkn. having an urea, of more than 600 ncriu In melons. < * All the growers appreciate vpry'muoh tho effort* made by the management of this enterprising road tb lid them In placing their melons in* good markets; In addition to keeping a man in Cin cinnati to look after their shipments to that point, and to see that all grow ers get prompt and correct returns; this road reports dally at every station the number of cars eh!pj>*d during that day, the places to which they were •hipped and tho total number of cars sent to nny place during tho season. Mr. Robert C. Bryan has been qulto seriously sick fOr tho past week, but Is Improving now. . , Um Janie Napier of Forsyth and Mfos Bowie Napier of Macon, arc visit* Ing Miss Sadie Woodson. , LOT1UAIR ITEMS. 1A Batch of Interesting News Items From a Live TVwn.

T^VO - TALES OF INTEREST. Joe Crovatt'a Train Robbery and Tom's Excursion. From the Thomasvllle Advertiser. Train robberies were undor discus sion. and tho crowd traa»ln. a reminis cent mood, AH the Pimmis '"hold up*" ot recent yearn had boon mentioned by. one or the uthcr. when handsome Joe Ccvvatit, who pulls iho throttle on the Albany division, pulled reflectively at hi* .ci gar, nnd uld: "Welt, boys. I'll never forget my ex perience In that line." Joo wua going to relate an actual exr perlence. and there was an air of eager expectancy about the crowd. "I waa pulling old No. d one night, nnd after Icu.v4ng Dupont 1 nettled my- aclf comfortably and wn* clipping .dong pratty lively, making up n little lost time." Those who know Joe, know Just what wsn inennt by making up lost time, for lie la known 'to lie a "runner.” "The dnrkncss." ho continued, eeemed tb be tnteiwltlod by the headlight, and I wns keeping two eyca on tire black wall that surrounded us. w-MIe my flre- Rtan whs kept busy piling fuel In tho furnace. With n euddennesa that al most took anvnv mv breath, a bright light w-n* waved across the creek nnd I lost no Ctmo In bringing my train to a stop. As I applied the ntr the idea iwmehow Occurred to me that It meant • train robbery, but t dated not dlare- gtrd thnt signet. Tho Idea grew orron- ger, and when I stopped and alx men with guns Mood by my engine. I waa Hpconhlc*. My hair atoed on end and my knees trembled. "One big fellow climbed up the steps and sniil ‘there In a tree aertws the track note. Tho woods have been burning and It felL* "I was *> relieved when he told me this that I onuhl scarcely stand and all I could Say was 'thank-you. Mr,' Which I am aft-aid I mumbled out In a very rookHh manner. "When I recovered my wits I natlccd for the tlret lime, that theae men were not armed with guns, but that they only carried sticks. 'They saved me from a bad wreck, but gave <ne a arors that I will nlwaya remember." TAKING A TELEPHONE TO BED. Fruui the Plttgburg Dispatch.

It Is seldom that * "brank Is to be ecen In the auction robin, but Messrs. Botheby & Wilkinson have one In view. Advocates of women's rights may be disposed to regard lit as a relic of the very dark ages, fur a "brenk" Is a gag for scolds. When a gentleman of the sixteenth century fell a victim to a wo man's tongue he promptly locked up her Jaw—literally—In an Iron stall, which enclosed the head of the wearer, into whose mouth a ahaip gag was thrust. This gentle Instrument of correction tna a short chain attached, suggesting that the virago having been effectually silenced, was chained up by her lord and master. Tho "brank” appear* to have taken Its name from tho Dutch word pranghe, the yoke of a pillory. It was In use In Scotland, a, well aa In many parts of England. In the same collection Is s small leathern powder-flask with a brass nozzle, which was given by the gover nor of Newgale to a Mr. Coward, and subsequently become the property of Charles Keene. The flask Is Interest ing because it once belonged to Jona than Wild, the notorious thief-maker and thief-taker. > . SHILOH'S CONSUMPTION CURB.

The Australian Times discusses In an en- tertatnlng manner the question whether or talnlrg manner the question whether or not a young lady who breaks'her leg at a dance can maintain an action against her partner on the ground that It was caused by his clumsiness. The writer Intimates tho opinion that a man who asks n girl to dance does not undertake to return her to her chaperon In as good order and condition as he' twelves her —•'act of God and the queen's enemies excepted”—but that at most his liabilities are those of a gratuitous bxller not ex tending. beyond gross negligence. Or. looking at the caso from another aide, that there le no Implied warranty on'his pert that he la rcaeonably fit for the puri-,-.- for which I himself as a partner for a dance, os there Is no sufficient consideration moving from her to him to support such a warranty. A further point raised Is whether or not sho did not voluntarily assume the risk of his unfitness. The writer adds that these questions were very fully gone Into ••In the somewhat analogous cose of tho bailment of a cob-horte. Fowler vs. Locke. S. R. Z73, 9 C.
