Tifton Garotte: Dr. If. W. F il¬
ler, postmaster at Alapaha, com¬
mitted Filicide last Saturday morn¬
ing Before committing the deed
he teleernped his father, T. J. Ful¬
ler, at Waycross, to come; also, left
a note in the postoffice, where bis
father could get it, telling of bis
determination and saying that his
office was all right and he wanted
what the government was due him
collected and given to his wile. De¬
clining health is assigned as the
cause of the rash act. He left a wife
and two eetldren.

Daisey and Bessev, Dr. Story’s
pair of petted ponies, became a lit¬
tle friskey last Sunday, and while
he and Mr. Tim Hendrix's were
out on the ground heating the dust
from the buggy carpet, they decid¬
ed to run a tace hut on the route
they tangled the buggy up with a
stump, throwing the doctors medi
cine case out, splitting up two or
three spokes, breaking the buggy
pole, one trace, and— that’s all.
Doetoiy Story is driving them right
along and they both work as gentle
as lambs.

MADAM GRUJtDAY SAVES
That it is impossible to stop the
tongue of an industrious woman.
That Warren Story has the pret-
es he has seen “yes,” written in
Snow.
That Sycamore is the healthiest
and neatest little town on the line
of the G. S. & F.
That it may be that all men are
liars, but it won’t do to make the
application very often unless you
know who you are talking to.
That the singing at the Metho¬
dist ehurch here is as good, if not
better, than any she ever heard in
towns much larger than Syoc-
atnore.
That the happiest man is he who
knows just a little less than his
wife.
That whiskey is good in its place
and its place is in—well you’ve
heard the preachers tell about it.
That she don’t like those new
sleeves with petticoats. They look
like the pantelettes she used to
wear.
That the man who hasn't any
work to do generally manages to
bother those who have.
That a widow is a woman who
once had a husband and mislaid
him.
That you phould never judge a
man by hi* appearance in his wed-
ding suit. He is just then in the
act of fooling some good woman.
That a woman commits a serious
mistake when she does little things
for the purpose of annoying her
husband,
That the smaller a man is the
louder he talks about his ancestry.
That it is generally supposed to.
be a good sign of wet weather when
it rainB.
That it is better for a town to
have a well filled graveyard than a
multiplicity of chronic kicsers.
That the la.- t word in an argu¬
ment between husband and wife is
more dangerous than a lighted
bomb. Always strive for it.

FARMING THAT FAYES.
An Interesting Report That can
be Studied With Profit.
We clip the following from the
Atlanta Constitution as a forcible
illustration of what can be done on
our soil, trusting that our farmers
may read it and he profited there-
by.
Cochran, Gi„ Fob., 17.—Editor
Constitution : Your columns have
ever stood r pen to the publication
of any fact calculated to be of ben¬
efit to Georgia or Georgians, hence
I seudyou a short statement of some
icsults achieved in f’aitiling in the
past two years upon a plantation
near this place owned by Peacock
& O’Bern : —
1 SOI —150 acres produced 2,700
bushels of corn and 035 bushels of
peas; 119 acres in cotton made 101
bales, with an average weight of 500
pounds each.
1892—3,300 bushels of corn and
540 bushels of peas were gathered
on 150 acres ; 85 bales of cotton of
500 pounds each were this year made
on 105 acres.
These two years were not consid¬
ered good ciop years on account
of an excess of rain the summer.
Does this not speak volumes for
land that was originally pine forrest
and oi; which some people affect to
believe that nothing higher or hot¬
ter in God’s creation can live than
those pestiferous little creatures of
rodent species known as salaman-
ders? A. J. Ye ARTY.
The above figures are sufficient
evidence as to what must inevita¬
bly he the reward of the farmers ef¬
fort to till his wire-grass land. 1
tell you, there is no better farming
land, everything considered, than
is found right here in Irwin and
adjoining counties. The la'-t years
harvest of Messrs. John Smith, 8.
E. Coleman, “Rod” Smith, Jim
Whiddon, Jim Henderson, Loft
Warren, and many others, mention
of whom was made in ihefSuws p/ at
the tint", shows beyond doubt of
contradiction, that tbare is money
in our wiregrass lapd when tiroper-
ly attended to. /
Let’s see whv^of all our good far¬
in' rs, wTl ntfake the best showing
at the c-Ioffe of 1893,
Receivers’ Notice.

Items from Our Neighbor.
14h Dist., Worth Co., )
March 25, 1893. j
Dear Old News : The rai'ns have
ceased and the little cold soap has
past, and the farmers are once more
makeing preperations for this
year’s crop.
Some little anxiety is felt, in this
community, as to the extent of the
damage done the fruit crop by the
recent cold wave. We trust, how¬
ever, it is not so bad as reported by
some people.
It is predicted by some of the
old fishermen, that this will be an
exceptional good year for bagging
the finey tribe. If this be true, we
shill have our tackle in readiness
soon, and the necessary prepara¬
tion made for that sport.
Warwick is a little ahead on the
fish question; they don’t stop at
bagging them but use baskets made
for that purpose, also, and teams
sufficiently equipped to haul in the
spoils—but Warwick is not so ver>
slow at anything. The Henry re¬
cently erected at, that place will add
much to the looks of the place as
well as being of much benefit to
the little town.
Near Warwick, one day last week,
a young lady by the name of Mas¬
sey, accidentally caught on fire
while standing near a fire that had
been built to warm by during those
cool mornings, and eanae very near
being consumed in the flames, she
was only prevented by her sister,
who was standing near, catching
her as she started to take the usti-
i al flight. She is now convalescing
and getting along as well as could
be expected considering how badly
ehe was burned.
Rev. I. Long, of the 15th, is suff¬
ering considerably with boils of the
carbunokle variety, so much so, in
fact, that he was unable to fill his
appointment at New Hope Church
last Sunday. Str>.nge, but he has
one on each leg just below the knee
joint, that completely disables him
from walking.
Miss Jessie Cowin, of Baconton,
Mitch* 11 county, has a flourishing
school at New Hope Church. The
patrons speak well of Miss Cowin,
and seem to think her an excellent
teacher. She has, so far, given per¬
fect satisfaction.
We noticed in the News, a few
weeks since, that Mr. C. E. Bass
had been visiting Cordele We do
not exactly understand the nature
of his visit, although we believe it
would not’be bard to guess, howev¬
er, E h go again, this only means
to add one more to the population
of old Worth county, if it does prove
to be Dooly’s loss.

Fighting the Administration
The Atlanta Constitution is say¬
ing everything possible to encour¬
age Georgians to assert their claims
to the federal offices. lu this way
it doubtless hopes to turn against
Mr. Cleveland as many dis.■<point¬
ed applicants and possible.—Gaiv&ston as much pu die
sentiment as
News. , *
That would simply be awful!
All of the disappointed office-seek¬
ers and the Atlanta Consti, all ar¬
rayed against Cleveland in 1893.
OlsvelancJ frill, however, get things
to running so smoothly that the
disappointed ooes will be stronger
C/i'evf-land men, then than now, and
Grover will never know that the
Constitution done any maneuver¬
ing against him, unles3 some one
puls themself to the trouble of tell¬
ing him.
It seems, to us, like wasted gas
to blow against the teople’s fa¬
vorite.

Hail to the Pine !
BY L. S. MIX.
Hail to the pine the mighty pine
That stands the cyclones roar,
Hail to the pine the yellow pine,
King of our native shores.
Hail to the pine,whose timbe’s stout
Float bouvant on the waves,
Where many a beam of massive oak
Has found aa ocean grave.
Hail to the pine, the juicy pine,
Whose gummy sap is stilled
Affording lucre to the ones
That fohow it with a will.
Hail to the pine, affording means,
To rear the pallaee grand,
Affording homes for rich and poor,
All over our proud laud.
Hail to the pine that keep the mills
So busy through our land,
Whose saws are ever humming
With scores of busy hands.
Hall to the pine that timber gives,
To build the pond v,ou3 cars,
Which, daily plying to and fro
Withstand all shocks and jars.
Whilst some talk of Maboganey
And of their Rosewood fine,
Give unto me the Georgia slopes,
With their serried racks of pine.
Hail to the pine,where preez's chant
Their mounfui melody,
Which falls upon the troubl’d heart
In tender rapsodv.
