Sheen Interest In Southern Georgia.

Sheep Interest In Southern Georgia.
In view Of the increased interest lately
manifested in sheep and wool growing In
Southern Georgia, a large number Of letters
have been sent from this Office addressed to
local editors and other gentlemen through
out that section of the State, soliciting
such information as. could readily be OBJ
tanned on the subject in their respective 10
calities. OF course, no accurate information
could be thus obtained, but replies to a
number of those letters may prove inter
esting to that class Of our readers engaged
in or looking forward to profit from that
prolific source.
PIERCE COUNTY.
A letter addressed to Mr.. E. Y. Byrd, Of the
Blackshear NelcS, elected the following
satisfactory answer
"Just as I received your letter, our Supe--
rior Court convened, which really gave me
a better chance to find out the number of
sheep and the names OF the sheep owners of
nv county. There may be some little over
estimated, but there are so many who own
small fiocks (say ten to fifty head that
think the aggregate about correct. The
amount OF WOOL snlppeu IIOm mere Is ABOUT
45 600 pounds, the most, II not all, shipped
to merchants ia your city. do not know
anything of the sheep property in other
counties, but from inquiry find that it will
fall far short OF our county, except in Cotft e
county, which will, suppose, exceed ours.
A large amount of wool is brought to this
point for shipment from Coffee, Appling and
Ware counties"
The following is list of the names of
sheep owners in Pierce county, with the

TATTNALL COUNTY.
In reply, Mr.. r. A. Daniel, of the Reds
vile Enterprise, writes:
SIT is very difficult to ascertain the num-
Der of sheep in this county, but there is In
the neighborhood of 10000. 1t is equally
difficult to give the names of owners, about
three-fourths Of the farmers owning more
or less, and considerable attention given to
wool growing throughout this county. Dogs
are the only drawback, and are doing much
mischief to the flocks at this time"
Mr.. Daniel places the wool clip OF that
county last season at 81, 900 pounds-sold in
Savannah.

Chief Fredendan Presented with a
Fine Badge,

A special meeting of the Alert hose
company was held last evening which
was largely attended. The object was
to present to one of the members, MI.
Fredendall. who is also chief of the fire
department, a fine badge of office. Mr..
Fredendall happened to be present at
the opening of the meeting, which dis
arranged the plans Of surprising him.
However, after the preliminary business
had been disposed Of, Foreman Smith
stated that charges were to be preferred
against one Of the members, and after
stating that the member was MI. Ere
dendall Mr.. Landau requested that Mr..
Baird deliver the charges in proper
form. The latter proceeded to review
the excellent work and record of Mr..
Fredendall as a fireman through many
years service, and to point out that he
had been elected foreman of the Alert
company, and afterwards twice elected
as assistant chief of the fire depart
ment, and was a present chief of the
same.
The speaker stated that it might be a
matter Of regret to some that it became
necessary to deliver charges to Mr..
Fredendall, etc.
The latter gentleman became very
much interested in the remarks, and
turned every color but green in his be-
wilderment, not knowing what the
charges were.
MI. Baird then produced a silver
badge for the chief of the fire depart.
ment, and explained that the charges
to be delivered were that the recipient
should wear the badge with as much
pride as the members of the company
experienced in presenting it; that he
should wear it with honor to himself, to
the company and to the fire department,
etc. The badge was then delivered.
Mr.. Fredendall was surprised beyond
measure, and could scarcely give utter
ance to his thoughts when called upon
to respond. He returned his sincere
thanks and pledged his best efforts to
sustain the reputation of the depart
ment, and said that he should always
hold the giyers in affectionate remem-
brance.
The badge is made of silver, of extra
weight, and is Of an entirely original
design, representing the Alert hose

Mr.. John Maal is cashier Of the
famous Schnaider's brewery and gar
den, st. Louis, Mo-, and he states that
for some time he suffered severely from
rheumatism which defed a number Of
remedies, and was apparently, becom-
ing chronic. Through the advice of a
friend he tried st. Jacobs oil, and after
applying it to the affected places found
immediate relief. In a short time the
alarming symptoms had disappeared,
and to-day he considers himself com
pletely free from the painful complaint
without likelihood of its recurrence.
Yet he is never without a supply of
this valuable panacea, and has it ready
for use.
