Wednesday a horse with a buggy
attached came up to Mr. Tom How¬
ell's, at Lax. Mr. Howell at once
instituted a search for the owner,

dering about in the woods in what
he thought to be a demented condi¬
tion. The man’s name is J. M.Word,
his home in Macon, where lie has a
family. I le was traveling for the Ex-1
eelsior Medicine Co. of Wayeross.
Mr. Word (or it may be Ward) told
Mr. Howell that the Mormoms had
killed his wife and children and were
then after him to murder him.
Mr. Howell went with the de¬
mented man four miles in the direc¬
tion of Willacoochee and turned him
over to another gentleman who took
him to Willacoochee, where he could
receive medical attention. Before
parting Mr. Word gave" bis watch
and chain to Mr. Howell and re¬
quested him to send them to his wife

Tfie Dispatch, with many years of
bought and paid up experience, in
the'matter of advice to farmers, has
non(yto giye now> as to ho i dingcot .
for b(jtt ^. prices . But it does
look ^ eieTyth[ng Considered
that the price' ought to go up at least
a leetle higher.
Judge J. B-: Clements, one of the
most useful men 1 in the county, in
addition to his public work, conducts
a large planting interest. A 50-acre
field of of short cotton, near his
residence, shows up exceptionally
well. It is loaded heavily with fruit,
many of the stalks beading beneath
its weight, lie expects to get forty
bales froni this field, which we think
is'a conservative estimate. His corn,
cane and potatoes ai'ri abbvh the aver¬
age—and he can suit all tastes in
the scuppernong line; from honey
sweet to “delightfully” ho Ur.
