IN BERRIEN.
Last Sunday afternoon Mr. J.
L. Paulk and a representative of
the Dispatch left Oeilla, the objec- ■
tive ]>oint being N^sfevillo, in Ber-
rien county, where superior court
wop Id owiygne next morning.
Sunday night was spent at the
pleasant homo of Mayor McMillan,
in Alapaha, and the Mayor, be¬
ing on th e grand jury, accompanied
his guests to Nashville, which they
reached about 10 a. m. Monday.
The people of Berrien should,
and doubtless do feel proud of their
magnificent new court house. It is,
we dare say, one of the best as well
as best arranged court bouses in the
state. It is built of brick and is
as nearly fire proof as a building
can be made. There does not seem
to be anything lacking in the way
of furniture, and it is all of the
best make. The building and fur¬
nishings cost about #19,000, but
the money has been well spent. The
best is always the cheapest, and the
Dispatch congratulates the county
commissioners on the wisdom they
have displayed in giving the people
so magnificent and at the same time
so durable a temple of justice.
Our stay in Nashville was limited
to about three hours, but while
there we shook hands with many
old acquaintances, including the.
ever-cheerful Henry Peeples, genial
Sandy Patterson, handsome Bill
Tygart, happy Joe Knight, Col.
Lacy Lastinger, and a number of
others. After a first-class dinner
at Mrs. Hamilton McOaine’s the
Oeilla contingent, in company with
Mr. Needham Purvis, left for that
gentleman's home near Kissimmee,
where Monday night was most
agreeably spent.
Early Tuesday morning five fish¬
ermen—three professional and two
amateurs—went down to the Alapa¬
ha river to catch a few' fish.
One of the party baited for suck¬
ers Monday evening and w r ent back
Tuesday morning to see what effect
it had iqion them. They didn’t
seem to know he had come, and he
needed succor as well as suckers
before he quit trying to assemble
one of them on his hook Later in
the day he repented and went to
fishing for perch, with improved
luck. As is usually the case, Mr.
Need Purvis caught more fish than
any two men present. In fact, he
caught about two-thirds of the fish.
We will not tell about “Need”
knocking down a nest of black
wasps, nor how’ an orphan fought
to keep from running over the
wasps with the boat. It was a
lively scene, and if the weather had
been warm, it would have been
more so.
About one o’clock p. m. the party
had caught one hundred and twenty
perch, besides a few' cats, and
eating a fine dinner at Mr. Purvis',
soon left with great strings of fish
their several homes. The party
consisted of Judge Dan Tucker,
Mr. Need Purvis, Dr. W. C. Ash¬
ley, J. L. Paulk and a Dispatch
man, and we’ll venture to say there
never has been a fishing frolic that
was more keenly enjoyed.
To Mr. Purvish and his good
family the party extends warmest
thanks for kindnesses, and wishes
for them continued peace and pros¬
perity.

Waterloo Wavelets.
Mrs. W. J. Bush has been on tbe
sick list for two weeks, but is now
convalescing, to the delight of her
friends.
Mr. J. H. Young will leave
Waterloo in a few days and reside
near Cyeloneta. He is in business
with Mr. John Branch. We wish
for Joe success.
News comes this morning that
Mr. John Ross and Mr. Jordan
Butler, both of Chula, are not ex¬
pected to live. They have been ill
for several weeks with Fever.
The crokinole party given by
Miss Mary Young Monday night in
honor of her friend, Miss Addie
Mae Jenkins, was a very pleasant
occasion. The ever popular game
of crokinole was played ’till a late
hour, when dancing and a few other
little games succeeded it. Then
came the sad feature of the eveu-
ing wheu the friends of Miss Jen¬
kins had to hid her a sad good bye.
She leaves Waterloo today,Tuesday,
for her home in Molena, Ga. We
hope her stay in South Georgia has
bean most pleasant and that she
will soon honor us with another
visit.

Beef Cattle In Demand.
A Chicago dispatch says that
beef on the hoof went up on Mon¬
day to #7 at the stock yards, the
highest since 1892, and the highest
October price since 1884.
This upward movement in the
price of beef cattle confirms the pre-
dictions which The Telegraph has
been making and repeating for the
last six months. The first sign of
scarcity showed itself some time
since in the draft made on Georgia
| for cattle to he shipped out west.
Georgia cattle taken to Illinois and
fed a few weeks sells for “prime”
Western beef.
These things point plainly to the
course to be pursued by Georgia
farmers. Everything on the farm
wrapped in hide and hair (except
the sheep killing dog) is going to
be worth gold next year and the
next. This is particularly true as to
cattle. It will pay to put the moth¬
erless calf on the bottle and the
runt pig to the swill tub.
The long era of over-production,
checked as it has been by the strin¬
gent times of the last three or four
years, has come to an end. Con¬
sumption has overtaken the supply.
Everything is advancing in price,
even to cotton. Tbe outlook for
the producer—for the man who has
something to sell—was never bright¬
er, provided he does not carry all
of his eggs in one basket.
But cattle cannot be cared for in
winter—in fact, at no time well—
without feeding. Gapt. 'J'. .1. James,
at Adrian, in Emanuel county, has
made a great success of sugar cane
growing. We have samples in our
office of cane from a 150-acre field
which has developed twenty-two
good joints. He has not only de¬
monstrated that there is a good
profit in the cultivation of sugar
cane, but he has found that fodder
made of the blades and tops pays
the cost of the cultivation. He has
found it to he of the best quality,
and the stcck eagerly devour it.
He cures it right on the ground
where it is stripped from the stalk.
11 has been the custom of farmers
to throw this away—to burn it as
soon as it gets dry and dead.—
