Farmers Institute Largely
Attended Saturday.
The Farmers’ Institute, which
was held at the opera house Satur¬
day, was attended by a large
number of farmers and others in¬
terested, the house being comfort¬
ably filled most of the t ; me.
Judge I. A. Bush presided and
ielivered an introductory speech,
which was full of sound thought
and tinged with wit.
Prof. DeLoach devoted himself
to a discussion of the selection of
planting seed, and gave many
valuable hints and statistical in¬
formation, showing the advantage
and profit that would accrue to
the farmer by using more care in
the selection of planting seed,and
by carrying out some of his sug¬
gestions to improve seed.
The address of Prof. Lewis was
>n the subject of bugs and in¬
sects and their ravages on crops.
!- Many valuable suggestions were
tsude as to the method of erler
.ninatioii and prevention. The
description of the insects and
how they can be known and dis¬
covered was most interesting.
The question of Forestry is one
in which there is a general awaken¬
ing in all the timber sections, as
t is becoming apparent that- our
forests are being depleted and
lumber is increasing in value.
How to restore the forests and the
necessity of preserving and restor¬
ing them in order to preserve wa¬
ter supply, make uniform cli¬
matic conditions and provide for
the agricultural demands and
timber necessities of the future
was ably discussed by Prof. Aker
inan, who delivered one of the
most interesting lectures of the
day.
The lectures were all practical
and were closely listened to by
those present.
Mr. VV. A. Allen, of Camilla,
and Hon. J. L. Hand also made
speeches dealing with practical
topics of interest to the agricul¬
tural classes.
The session lasted only during
the morning. The ideas brought
out and the suggestions made will
be far reaching. It was a most
interesting occasion, arid full of
profitable suggestion and thought.

To Users of ^Pelham
Telephones.
Recently we have had to dis¬
continue some of our telephones
on account of their being used by
non-subscribers. We have re¬
peatedly asked ndn-subscribers
not to use our telephones, and we
now ask that the subscribers of
our telephones (reiident tele¬
phones especially) do not allow
non-subscribers to use their tele¬
phones. Noo-subscribers have no
more right to use thii company’s

your cooking stove without your
consent. We rent our telephones
for the use of the ones who pay
for them and their guests. If
this practice is kept up we will

most positively will not allow
non-subscribers to use these tele¬
phones without paying for them.
Oar records will show that the
time of our operators and the ex¬
pense of keeping up the lines and
apparatus has incurred more ex¬
pense upon this company by the
use of non-subscribers than by
those who pay us. If you wish to
rent our ’phones you must deny
the use of them, or refuse to take
messages for non-subscribers. We
hope non-subscribers will not

MAD HORSE KILLED
Animal Apparently Rab=
id Shot by Chief
Crow.
A horse which gave every in¬
dication of being affected with
rabies was shot by Marshal C. D.
Crow Tuesday night. The anni
mal belonged to Mr. Bill Mulford
who lives in the western part of
the county, and was left in a
stall by him during the after¬
noon. It is said that the horse
had shown indications during the
afternoon of being sick, and Mr.
Mulford fastened him up and
went home. About night it was
discovered that the horse was
charging about in the stall biting
savagely at the planks and plung¬
ing against his enclosure. The
sides of the wall were plentifully
spattered with blood which the
animal had beaten from its own
head in its severe plunges. Chief
Crow who was sent for killed the
animal.
Some think the horse had what
as . and
others .. a i think i i • 1 it • , had » •* hydrophobia. ■ . •
In order to prevent any possibili¬
ty of infection, the city authori¬
ties had the animal dragged to
the woods and burned.
