A saturated solution of borax and water, rubbed on with a sponge, followed by clear water, will remove glaze, the result of wear, from clothes. Borax is one of the best things for the removal of grease spots from woolen goods, A cleaning mixture of which it forms an important, part is made by dissolving one ounce of powdered borax in one quart of boiling water, and setting it aside to cool. When quite cold add one ounce of spirits of camphor and it is ready for use. For some cleaning purposes the materials are commonplace articles to be found in every household. A cut raw potato is a good cleaner when you get mud stains on your black dress. The mud should be left to dry before any attempt is made to remove it. Brush it off thorough¬ ly after it has dried, and then if any stains remain rub the cut sur¬ face of the raw potato over the spots. To remove grease ’ spots from silk moisten the grease spots with chloroform and rub with a cloth till dry. MILLINERY.

Mrs. R. E. Layton, ARLINGTON, - - GA. ARLINGTON, GA., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 28. 1901. They Took in The Fair. Some of the Cuthbert and Ran¬ dolph county people who took in the street fair in Eufaula last week will long retain a recollection of that visit, Pick- pockets were there in abundance and the visitors were relieved of their pocket books, without their knowledge or consent, while one gentleman, after being robbed was dropped into a well and permitted to remain there all night, in about seven feet of water. These gentle¬ men are now wiser, though poorer, and will probably give street fail- crowds a wide berth in future.— Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise. That Throbbing Head che.

A Buffalo, N. Y. Dispatch says that harnessed with electrodes and other apparatus, Jumbo II, the vicious man-killing elephant, stood in the middle of the Stand- ium at the exposition grounds, at sundown Saturday, and gave world a practical demonstration that an elephant can take volts of electricity with apparent unconcern. When the switch that was sup¬ posed to turn a death flood of electricity into the elephant’s body was turned on Jumbo II himself merely threw a trunkful of dirt over his back and .refused to die. If the electricity current reached his nerves at all he did not express a bit of annoyance. Electric wires had been run from the exposition power house to what was to be Jumbo’s death platform, and when the signal was given 2,200 volts were turned on. It merely tickled the beast. After the unsuccessful attempt to kill him, Jumbo was unhitched from his harness and taken back to bis home in the midway. Explanations made by the elec¬ tricians for the failure were that Jumbo’s hide had the resistance of rubber and that this formed a non-conductor impervious to elec¬ tricity. Jumbo’s death was to have been spectacular. The event was to have occurred at 3 o’clock, and several thousands had by that time shown their willingness to pay an admission fee of 50 cents each to see the sight. Influence was finally brought to bear by Wilson S. Bissel, Mayor Biehl and others to omit the pub¬ lic feature. It was then announc¬ ed that the sentence of death wculd be carried out at sundown with no witnesses. The elephant was chained to a plank platform. Electrodes the size of a large sponge were placed behind his ears and at the end of his spinal col¬ umn, The shocks only tickled him. Negro Killed at DeWitt. Mr. G. W. Bacon, of DeWitt, Ga., shot and killed a negro Alonzo Anderson at DeWitt last Friday. The negro was drinking and had fired his pistol in the air near Mrs. Bacon and frightened her considerably. Mr. Bacon made an effort to arrest the negro who resisted, when he was killed Mr. Bacon. The grand jury completely exhonorated Mr. Bacon M T h ?* fs * r » tto ™ , s h vestigation.

Carrollton, Ga., Nov. 213.—The second wedding ceremony over that telephone line from Bowdon to Carrollton this year was per- formed from this office this morn- ing. C. W. McDonald and Miss E. V. Graben, an eloping couple from over the line of Alabama, reached Bowdon early this morn¬ ing and got the telephone operator there to ’phone the operator here to get them a marriage license and a justice of the peace to perform the ceremony over the telephone. In a few minutes the license had been procured and the cere¬ mony was pronounced by Justice J. T. Norman, of this place. Witnesses at various ’phones heard the cermony performed. Si Otis. The kidnapping of Miss Stone is evidence that our work in the benighted east is having some ef¬ fect. The next thing we know the dough-faced rascals will be mak¬ ing wooden nutmegs, putting sand in sugar and making leaf lard out of glue and beef tallow. ✓ It is claimed that King Edward of England is dying with throat trouble caused by intermarriage in the same family. I don’t un¬ derstand this. Adam’s children all married one another, except Cain, who married a beast, and their children, grand and great grand-children lived to be nine hundred years old. Methuselah, for instance, never began to sport the girls until he was 185 years old.—Si Otis in Cuthbert Leader. Work Suspended. We learn the contractors who have been at work on the grading for the Gr., F. & A. road, near Grubbs, have been ordered to sus¬ pend work for ten days. This act of the official has caused much conjecture as to whether it means the abandonment of the work al¬ together. In the last issus of the Bainbridge Democrat a call is made for a meeting f. of the stock- , holders , , of , the road to be . held . .. . m that city on tho ,. ...... oOth«> ’ to elect . , v , . crease the capital stock.” It is probable that after the meeting we will know whether or not the extension wili be completed.— Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise.

A BRAVE OFFICER. Single-Handed Lieut. Van Schaick Charges Company of Insurgents. Manila, Nov. 9.—Second Lieu* tenant V an Schaick, of the Fourth infantry, while scouting with a few men of that regi nent, met 160 insurgents, who had attacked and sacked the lmmlet of Siaraca, near Cavite. Upon seeing the Filipinos Van Schaick ordered his men to charge them. The command was obeyed and Van Schaick, being mounted, reached the insurgents 60 yards in advance of his men. He killed three of them with his revolver. An insurgent fired his rifle point blank at Van Schaick at four paces, hut missed. Lieutenant Van Schaick was then knocked from his horse. He jumped to his feet and engaged in a hand-tor hand conflict with the enemy, us- ing the butt of his revolver, He sustained two severe wounds, one of which nearly severed his wrist. At this point the lieutenant’s men arrived, rescued him and put the insurgents to flight. Van Schaick is in the military hospital and is doing well. He has already been recom¬ mended for a medal of honor for bravery in a previous engagement. Judge Sheffield and Blind Tigers. Twelve blind tigers were con¬ victed in Randolph superior court last week, and in noting their conviction the Cuthbert Leader says: Judge Sheffield “set the hair” on blind tigers. Twelve have been convicted and sentenced, Those who pleaded guilty got ten months in the chaingang, and those who didn’t were sentenced to twelve months on the gang and four months in jail. The judge allow¬ ed only one—an old man-—to pay a fine. All of these are negroes,, and among them are a Baptist preacher and a Methodist stew¬ ard.
