Mr. J. IT. Booker, of Harris county, has a
variety of wheat that has been grown by his
fatherfind Irin-Iff. r thirty-live, y( ars and,
during that time, was never known to bo in
jured by smut. Mr. Booker also says that his
wheat i.i of the purple straw variety and
almost rust proof, Mr. Booker’s success in
raising wheat is unsurpassed by any other
farmer in thi- seeli nos the state, lie insists
that he can produr• more cotton in five y< ars
by lowing wheat than to plant all his land in
col ton, besides having his land in better condi
tion.

made f< rty bushels of corn, seventy-live bush
els of oats and thirty-six bushels of wheat. All
this was cultivated with one small Texas pony',
with only ftv<- day’s help by one horse, This
is a splendid record for the young man, and
merits -Hy gives him the mtom of rt progres

Eastman Journal: since, Mrs.
A. B Clayton, Jiving a few miles from East
man, heard a noise in a cam: patch, near the
house, and thinking that the calf had found
its way therein, she started to drive the ani
mal out. As she was leaving the hou.-.e, Mrs.
Clayton discovered the calf feeding
on the green off m another direc
tion, but kept on to the cane. As she ap
proach< d a large negro man was seen in the
p. 1 h helping liim eif. Mis. Clayton called
l'i h< i little son, back of the dwelling, to bring
her the pistol. At this command of the brave
little woman, the negro mounted (lie fence and
lied for dear life, Mr.j Clayton tiring live shots
at him as ho hastily retreated to the thick
wood •>. The shots wore of no avail, however,
but showed the colored cane thief that ho
would have me t with a warm reception had lie
tarried longer in the patch.
From the Eaatman, Ga., Journal.
Mr. John It. Giddens, of this county, tolls

himself, put on his hat and wont out to the
well to draw u bucket, of water; returned to
the house ami proceeded to make a lire pre
paratory to getting I rcakfast. While Mr. G.
was busy at these morning duties he thought
his bat. lit him rather closely, but did not give
the matter any further attention. When ho
went out, however, to bathe Iris face and
hands, he, laid Iris hat aside and out crawted a
veimmouH looking snake, measuring thre<t feet
in length. .lust how or when bis snake-hip
goi into his hat Mr. Giddens docs nut know,
but it was surely there.

Mr. A. L. Davidson, of Covington, died at
tlio Brown liouse, Macon, Thursday night.
On Saturday Mr. Davidson registered at
the Brown house, and that evening paid his
bill, and Manager Mitchell thought lie had
left the city, but it seems that Mr. Davidson
continued to remain at the hotel, and very
probably confined himself closely to his room
tn an ripper story, and in the groat rush and
excitement of the state fair his presence was
not missed among the immense num
ber of guests. The supposi
tion is tiiat Mr. Davidson had
bei n drinking heavily, and staid several days
in bis mom witliout eating anything, and con
sequently became very weak. Thursday after
noon about half past three o'clock, lie came
out of his room and started to walk down
stairs, and tell down, the stops and cut a severe
g:> th in his head. At 12 o’clock Thursday night
Dr. Gibson was summoned by ’phone to come
immediately to see Mr. Davidson. Thedoctor
started instantly, but before he could roach tho
Brown house Mr. Davidson had breathed his
last. Dr. Gibson givesit as his opinion that
the death was the result of alcoholic poisoning.
Manager Mitchell telegraphed to the mayor of
Co\ ington to know V hat disposition should be
made of tho body. The mayor replied that he
had telegraphed to Mr. Davidson’s sister at
Conyers, Ga., for instructions.
