Freak Orange Ship
ped to Alamo Firm.
Mr. W. L. McMillan, manager
of the mercantile firm of A. J.
Rogers & Company of this place,
opened a box of oranges this
week, in which he found among
the number one that eclipsed
anything known to orange ex
perts in this section. The orange
in question is apparently sound,
but on one side of it the surface
is uneven and shows plainly that
sometime before it matured that
a slice had been cut out of it and
placed pack, not fitting the open
ing berfectly, and hence the
uneaveness of the surface. It
grew to maturity, however, and
is only disfigured as above stated.
The freak is on display at the
Eagle office.

A Pleasant Trip to
The Dairy Farm.
Quite a number of the town
folks were the recipients of the
hospitality of Col. and Mrs.
Hamilton Burch on last Sunday
afternoon, out at the dairy farm,
a mile above town After Sun
day school a large two horse
wagon was sent in to convey the
party over to the farm, where
several tine, cool melons were
served, under the beautiful
shades. After the melon cut
ting cream and cake were served
and all present were made to
feel at home.
The shades of night began to
hover around, and the party
were taken home.
This farm is fitted up with
many conveniences, and the
prettiest bunch of Jersey cows,
fine hogs, chickens and turkeys
that any county might feel proud
of, and Col. Bnrch is continually
adding improvements to the
place. The dairy is fitted up in
the most sanitary manner, and
■is under the personal super
vision of Mr. and Mrs. H. A.
Coleman, which assures its
patrons the very best service-
Few towns the size of Alamo
enjoys the privileges offiered by
this dairy. Every day in the
week its patrons have milk and
butter delivered at their door.

Legislature is
Grinding Slowly
The legislature is more then half
over and up to this time it hasn’t ac
complished enough to make one real
day’s Work. But as one visitor re
marked: “The fewer Laws they
pass the better off everybody will
be. Seema to me that making new
laws means merely making new
crimes.” One biece of legislation
which is almost certain to be passed
before the close is the bill to prevent
attacks on life insurance companies
in Gerogia by irresponsible parties.
There have been so many instances
of receivership suit brought against
life companies merely to harass them,
or to gain someulterior end, that the
business men of the state believe
a remedy is imperative. It is probable
that the bill will be amended to
to provide that a person desiring
to sue for a receiver for an insurance
company will first be required to
confer with the insurance commission
er, the attorney general and the gov
ernor, and on suit shall proceed with
out their approval. —Ex.

that there were other candidates

among whom was “Little Joe”
Brown. Misaddress was listened
to with interest by all. His
audience was divided between
Judge Clements and Congress
man Hughes, and nothing was
said to hurt the feelings of friends
of either candidate.

tained by Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

ing for bis home In Cochran.
