While in Perry last Friday Mr. Zack Aultman told of another pe culiar wild cat incident that oc- currd on the line between Bibb and Houston counties. Mr. Oscar Long, says Mr. Aultman, was crossing the Iron bridge return- j ing home from a mill. Seeing an | animal just ahead of him, he got out of his buggy and sought a clearer view. The* animal stopped and offered fight. The animal was a wildcat, or catamount, and Mr. Loug attacked it with a buggy whip. The cat was ready for the fight, but fortunately the first blow with the but end of the whip was heavy and true, and soon the cat was dead—kliled with v the whip. —Hr. H. Bonner of Dayton, Ohio, has been in Houston about ten days, visiting his brothers, Messrs..Stith and Frederick Bon ner, nearTivola. He is an oculist, and evidently prosperous.

That land is excellently adapt ed to pasturage, and could be profitably used to raise cattle on an extensive scale. The land is productive, though difficult of cultivation. In Houston there are thousands of acres admirably adapted to stock raising, but it seems that the attractiveness of that line lias not been made sufficiently mani fest. . Stock raising has been proven profitable in less favored sections, and to us it seems strange that in Houston there is not more atten tion devoted to that line of farm ing. The demand of Georgia cities for beef is greater than the sup ply of Georgia cattle, and it has been demonstrated that beef cat tle can be profitably shipped from the south to Chicago and to Cuba. Then, not infrequently do we hear of Houston people sending out of the county for pure-bred milch cows. The lands in Houston adaptable to stock rasing could be utilized to profitably supplement the growing demand for beef in Geor gia and beyond the state limits, as well as to furnish Jerseys and other fine bred cows to whoever might apply. There is also room for raising horses and mules for Houston farmers. Armour’s Picnic Hams. Dove Hams. Cracked Com for chickens. Graham Flour. Cream Cheese, Goshen. Butter Amin ally’s Fine Candy.
