living in Loves district was ac¬

who was sporting a $1.25 shot

his flag of truce floating from the

Air. Thompson tumbled to the

where the sympathising pillmon

days fishing for them with knit¬

state that the young man “is doing
as well as could be expected,” and
that he expresses himself satisfied
with what he has—leaving the
balance of the little coon’s lead
for some other luckless wight.—

BIG GRAIN CEOP.
Mr. AV . L. Peek, of Conyers,
Ga., is competing for the prize of
$500 offered by the American Ag¬
riculturist for the best acre of corn
grown in America.
The Georgia Agricultural soci¬
ety offered $100 for the best acre
of corn grown in Georgia, agree¬
ing to pay $250 if the acre took
the American Agriculturist's prize.
Mr. Peek came up with 131 bush¬
els of corn to the acre. This took
the prize in Georgia—beating Mr.
George Truitt a few bushels.
The biggest yield of corn ever
taken from one acre was 202bush¬
els. This was done in South
Carolina. The acre was enclosed
with irrigating ditches so that the
supply of water was absolutely
under control. Two hundred and
two bushels of corn was gathered
from the acre. Mr. Peek beats
the South Carolina contestant this
year 29 bushels, the prize in that
state having been taken with 102
bushels. Mr. Peek will get $850
cash if he wins the American
prize.
The American Agriculturist’s
prize of $500 for the best acre of
oats was taken by E. AV. Strick¬
land, of Albion, N. Y., with 134£
bushels. Only two contestants
w r ent over 100 bushels of oats.

Congressman John D. Stewart
in company with his colleagues is

Only two liquor cases were tried
during court week, those of Air.
J. A. Robinson and Air. Sam Hill,
and both were acquitted.
Uncle Alartin Ewing, one of the
best and oldest engineers on the
Ga. E. IL, has been at-home for
several days with his family. Air.
Ewing is a true friend, a kind and
obliging neighbor, and so far as
we know a genuinely honest man.
Messrs. E. A. Ewing and Ed
Langford have been hunting for
several days past. Monday last
they killed 13 partridges and 3
rabbits. This is Aladdox printed to little stir
Fieldman J. E. to a

hood of Haygood Hill.
A kinder jocose brother ob¬
served on the streets the other

in Rockdale that some people
drink whisky in prefence to water.
LINTLESS COTTON SEED.
Air. T. F. Ferguson, a farmer
of Spartanburg, S. C., has pro¬
duced, after many careful experi¬
ments, a cotton plant that grows
seed without any lint. The ag¬
ricultural bureau of South Caro¬
lina will investigate tne plant ana
make a report to the public.
Meanwhile, Air. Ferguson
claims that the experiments ho
has already made show that this
new variety of cotton plant will
yield four hundred bushels of
seed to the acre, as against thirty
live bushels of lint cotton, and
trustworthy cotton planters who
have watched his experiments,
agree with him.
A box of the matured bolls
was sent to the Charleston New r s
and Courier by Air. Ferguson,
and the editor says that an exam¬
ination of the contents of these
bolls fully confirms wliat has been
published in regard to their pe¬
culiar characteristics. The bolls
were opened in the office of the
News aud Courier, and each boll
was found to contain as many
seeds as it could hold, each seed
as free from lint as a Boston bean
or a buckshot.
This new* variety of the cotton
plant promises to give to the far¬
mers a new product that will
prove to be a valuable one. There
is no limit to the demand for
cotton-seed oil in its various
forms, and if four hundred bush¬
els of seed can be raised to the
acre, the crop wall prove to be
more valuable than the lint cot
ion itself.
THE TAX BOOKS
Will positively be closed after the
10th of December. Every one
would do well to call at the Tax
Collector’s office and pay up their
tax before it is too late.

is a man of resources.
in this connection has no
ence to the $223,000 Mr.

inventing schemes for his release
from prison. He proposes that
the people of Alabama vote upon
the question whether or not he
shall be pardoned. “If the ma¬
jority vote no,’” he says, “I will
content myself Vincent to serve should out have my
term .” Air.

freedom before he skipped with
the $223,000.
DAVIS LAND COMPANY.
Ever since the Avar Mr. Jeffer¬
son Davis has been a poor man.
Though he has often needed
fiuaneial assistance he has persis¬
tently refused all contributions.
He has courteously but firmly
forbidden all efforts to induce him
to accept gratuitous aid. He has
preserved perfectly the high in¬
dependence and the noble pride
Avhieh are constituent elements of
his character. Soon after his
visit to Alacon two years ago a
movement Avas set on foot in this
city for his relief. As soon as it
Avas begun there Avere ready and
liberal responses from many
sources, and a handsome fund
would undoubtedly have been
raised in a short time had not the
design been thwarted by the
emphatic request of Air. Davis
himself. No other poAver could
have stayed that generous move¬
ment, but Air. Davis requested its
abandonment in a Avay Avhieh its
projectors could not fail to res¬
pect. Fortunately there is now
an opportunity by which the peo¬
ple of the South can come to the
assistance of the noble old man
in a Avay to which he cannot ob¬
ject. He oAvns 5,700 acres of ex¬
cellent land in Arkansas on the
White river and a stock company
for its purchase has been formed.
Shares have been put at $10 and
in many places in tlio South
practical steps have already been
taken to aid this laudable enter -
prise. That it will bo carried
through there can be no doubt.
All over tlio South there are many
men, and Avomen too, who will be
glad to have a part in this Avork,
who Avill .accept readily the op¬
portunity to take stock in the land,
tlio sale of which Avill relieve Air.
Davis of his financial distress.
Something should bo done in
Alacon and undoubtedly there will
bo.
Air. Davis is uoav dangerously
ill. His needs and those of his
family .are greater than ever.
There is only one form in which
he or they will accept assistance
and no time should be lost in ma¬
turing the plans of the Davis
Land Company. Its complete
and immediate success avouUI be
but a small tribute from tlio peo¬
ple whom Air. Davis served so
faithfully and for Avhom lie lias
suffered so much.—Telegraph.

A writer in the Scientific Amer¬

called hoop snakes, themilksuake,
the queen snake and the hull or

them actually do it. It is an
