Yours to Serve, J\ KUTTNER, 238 Broad Street, ROME, GA. PETITION NOT GRANTED. Application to Out Seminole in ! Two Refused; An application was made last week before Ordinary Mattox to divide Seminole district in two parts, t'ie reason being that in the lower half of the district it is im possible to keep up fences along the river, and the citizens in that part wanted to be cut off into a district to themselves so that they could vote on the fence question, and thus dispense with the great auuovan.ee to which they are now subjected. It will be remembered that the district voted for fence by a small majority in a recent elec tion. t The application for a division was backed up by a petition of 56 names, comprising most of the leading farmers in the lower half of the district. A counter petition was tiled and strong opposition made by a number of the citizens of the upper section, and when the case was presented to Ordinary Mattox last week he decided to re fuse an order for a division, as prayed for in petition. It is stated that farms along the river from Foster's bridge to Gay lesville fire absolutely without fence, at- it is impossible to keep up fencing along the river. Cattle and hogs are often turned in before the crops are all gathered, and roam at will in all this large terri tory. The lands are said to be damaged greatly during the winter months by tramping by stock, be sides other inconveniences; hence the great anxiety of those along the linejof the river to adopt some system by which these troubles will be obviated, aud under which their farms can be built up and u; proved.

As briefly stated m last week’s News, quite a number of farmers, from various parts of the county, met in town last Tuesday to con sider whether they would pay the notes they had given some months before for a patent harrow. The facts briefly stated are as follows: Some time in the spring an agent, whose name is net now re called, canvassed the county thor oughly selling what is known as the Bonham harrow, an implement made by a Canton, Ga., firm. It seems the agent had poor suc cess in making sales by the usual methods and so he resorted to an exceedingly smooth scheme to work off his waves. When he had exhausted every effort and failed to make a sale he would then propose to his victim to make him local agent for the manufacturers, assigning him so much territory and agreeing to give him a commission of $3,124 on each harrow sold. The agent was required to give his note for $12.50 for a sample harrow with which to canvass. A written agree ment was then given him that should the agent fail to make sales the harrow might be returned to Canton upon which the note given by him would be surrendered, the freight on the implements to be paid by the manufacturers. It is said that something near a hundred harrows were sold in the county 011 this agreement, every man of them believing that he was merely making a conditional trade, and that if he failed in the agency business he would return his im plement, when his note would be given up to him. A few days ago several of the buyers were notified that their notes were in the bank at Canton and would soon be due, hence the notice published in the News two weeks ago, calling the meeting of the “stockholders” together to d-e terraine what should be done in the premises. It seems to be the concensus of opinion that the notes will have to be paid, and some of the victims have already decided to get out of the business as quietly as possi ble. It is universally pronounced as a neat and smooth swindle, and while it is a great hardship on those victimized, yet the whole transaction is not without its lu dricous features. Perhaps never before were there so many “agents” gathered together in Summerville, and it is safe to say that had the men who victimized them been present he would have suffered to the full extent of his transgres sions. Howe r er, it is said that he is in Texas. The members of the firm at Canton who manufacture this har row are said to be quite wealthy, and we have it from a reliable source that they paid about SIO,OOO for the right to make this harrow. Finding that they could not sell the county rights as they expected, and that they were stuck for a large sum they built the factory to make the implements, hoping by that means to recoup some of their loss on the investment. The leading member of the firm is said to be worth $75,000. We are receiving daily the very newest and latest styles in Fall Millin ery. Perfect dreams of beauty at prices that will astonish you for their cheapness. Call and see. Thompson Hiles & Co. SHAW, GA. Miss Minnie Shaw and J. K.

Not a Snake Story. Quite a remarkable occurrence j happened at the Trion cotton nulls last Thursday evening. Just be fore quitting time in the afternoon, that portion of the mills which is propelled mainly by water power, was shut down because of some de ficiency in the power. The water in the fore bay was shut off and workmen were s£nt down to exam ine the large turbine wheels to as certain the cause of the trouble. When the men got down to their work their astonishment may veil be imagined when it was found that the powerful whet’s, which run under a fourteen foot head, were literally choked down with an immense swarm of eels. One hundred and sixty eels, too large to get through the wheel gates,_ were taken out, and how many smaller ones there were that got away no one knows. The eels weighed 278 pounds, and Dr. Pal mour, from whom we get our in formation, says he never saw so many eels in his life. Consider ing the large size of the wheels and the immense power they develop, it is very remarkable that enough of these slippery customer's should get in and stop the whole machin ery. •• 11 Miss Lola Scarborough, one of the most artistic trimmers in the south is in charge of our Millinery Department this sea son.
