R. B. Lutterlnh was here this
week telling hisoln friends about
Florida. He tells us of a hunter
who has the best trained dogs he
has ever seen. The dogs are
trained for deer. On a drive
some of them are put on a stand
at different places while others
are sent in the bushes to roust the
game. The dogs on the stand
are still and quiet until one sees
the deer pass his way, when lie
opens up and the rest come to
him. The owner of the dogs
said lie would place 2(5 deer on
the market in Tallehassee last,
week.
Our town folks think it quite a
treat to go out to cane mills and
drink juice. So it is to the town
folks, but- if is tough on the farm¬
ers. J. T. Ilambrick is grinding
now, and the company he has
is immense. The love they have
for the Ilambrick family is more
that equalled by the love they
have for his cane juice. They
may not think he will misfit, but
they will consume enough of juice
during the season to make a bar¬
rel of syrup. J. T. McLendon
will soon start, up and so will tlie
people. Unless he builds a high
plank fence around his mill and
locks the gate the people will
move there like and and drink up
200 or 300 gallon-of juice. These
good farmers never complain, but,
are imposed upon nevertheless.

Misses Vic Evans and Lila Na-
pier entertained in a most eor-
dial manner, a few couples of
their friends yesterday evening
at the home of the former,
occasion being a social given
honor of l lie latter. At
propper hour the guests were all
there, and 'twas not long until
every one was engaged in jovial
conversations and laughter. Pres¬
ently, they were conducted to an
adjoining room where each one
was required to answer ten ques¬
tions on tin* life, character and
general mechanism of a watch.
This part of the program was en¬
tered into with great enthusiasm
as was, also, the delightful re¬
freshments which followed; hut
this was not all. Perhaps the
most enjoyable feat me of Hu
even mg was the beautiful rosi-
tutions by Miss Lila Napier, of
llawkinsville, Miss Florrie and
Mr. W. R. Smith, of Sycamore,
and choice selections on the
piano by various young ladies
present.
The Local has been contemplat¬
ing for some time, culling atten¬
tion to the fact that a substantial
bridge is needed across Li tile
River on tlie Sumner and Syca¬
more, or Ashburn, road. The
Local understands that the coun¬
ty authorities have promised the
people of that section of the conn
ty that, a bridge would be built,
but time rolls on and the bridge
has not materialized. The good
people of that section are entitled
to some recognition, and if the
editor is not badly mistaken,
there is not a servicable bridge
anywhere! in that part of the
county north of Daniels creek,
which works a very great hard
ship on those living in that part
of the couSity tributary to Syca¬
more, during the rainy season
when the river is up. it is said
that it is often the case that to
getadoctoi in ia"e of sickness
they have to cross tjie river in a
bout and then walk four miles to
Sycamore and back. This is not
right, these people pay their part,
of the taxes and should be sup¬
plied with nccomodations ,com¬
mensurate with all other parts of
the county. Let the bridge bo
built.—Worth Local.
The big mill of J. H. Betts A
Go. has no family prayer now, as
the N. Y. Sun would say, because
the family are not all there at
morning. The big machinery is
taking its rest while the 300 mill
hands shout and siiag and chase
rabbits and shoot binds and make
the best of their leisure hours.
The cause of the stop is the lack
of water. The pond dried up
and the only dependence w as the
artesian well. Water from the
well is brought, out, with a force
pump 175 feet under ground,
connected to the rnachini ry
above with oak shafts pinned
together. About a week ago the
shaft broke near the top of the
ground and all of that timber
was in t he veil. As many men
as could work around it have
been busy ever since wit h hooks,
grabs, traps and oilier such
things as they thought would
bring out a piece of the timbe”.
Up to to-dav they have succeed¬
ed in getting out about 175 feet
of the t imber, aid about 30 feet
remains. The old pump is fast¬
ened 275 down, and 75 feet
above the bottom of the well,
if they cant move the old pump
they will send down a blast to
drive the thing up or down or
tare it up so a smaller pump can
bo inserted. They hope to be
able to start tin* mill Monday
morning.
Sunday night a common-looking
hoy about 14 years old boarded
the north-bound passenger train
Heart-pine and told the conduc¬
tor he wanted to go as far as his
money would take him, and ten¬
n silver dollar, till of the
funds lie had. His clothes were
common, but dean. His man¬
ners showed good training, but a
common intellect. Conductor
Williamson sized him up at once
arid advised him to get off and go
hack home. . In answer to que-
tions he said his name was Willie
Chambers, left bis step-father in
Quitman Sunday morning, walk¬
ed to Heart pi tie, and was going
to his mother in Abt’ruim. IP
got off in Tifton at 12 o’clock
with 22 cents in hi poc! - . Tues¬
day eve ing he was Wiudering
aimlessly around it! A Jilnrrn. A
mother’s boy is out in the cold
world moneyless and friend!' •
with the frost-bitten earth for n
bed and the canopy of h«'itv«*n for
cover. Home was not happy and
he cast his sails to the breeze to
to he drifted out on t!i<- -,i of
without compass or rudder
to guide him. A other is roll
on her pillow thinking of,
“Where is my Wandering Boy
To-night ?” The hoy goes on and
the world loses no time in look-
ingafter him. Domestic displeas¬
ure has sent its millions to ruin.
Music luis been known to
