A Singular Local Option Law.

The Georgia Legislature is trying
the virtues of local option in settle
ment of the dog question. In some
parts OF the State dogs are great
nuisance, on account Of their sheep.
killing propensities: in others there
are no sheep to be killed, and the
hunters want to employ the dogs in
cunning. AS the Legislature could
not draft law to suit the opposing
interests, it has relegated the whole
matter to the counties, each of which
will decide for itself between the
sheep and the dogs, just as people in
the counties Of Northern States have
been required to determine for OF
against licenses for the sale of liquor

THE HALEY LAND OFFICE.
So Much Business Is Coming in that Two
Contests Have to be Heard at the
Same Time.

Such is the pressure of business at
the Haley Land Office that two con-
tests have to be heard at the same
time. The main Office of the Land
Office is room 20 feet wide, by about
20 deep. This is divided by a counter
and railing which stands about eight
feet from the front door, and extends
clear across the room. In hearing
two C ntests at once, Register Pound
usually conducts his case inside the
counter, while Receiver Waters hears
his case outside Of the counter. Some
times the attorneys in one or both
cases get to wrangling and then there
is fun for all present except the Reg
lister and the Receiver, who are com
PEELED to submit to have their valuable
time wasted. Sometimes the attor-
neys in both cases get to wrangling
at once, and then there is music in the
air. Such an incident occurred yes
terday afternoon, and Mr.. Dickinson,
of ID. Il. Bramble & Co., whose office
is IN Burkhart's store, the clerks and
NJ. Burkhart himself rushed to the
Land Office expecting, flom the noise,
that at least two murders were about
to be committed. But they only
found that the attorneys were discuss
ing law points.

The PHILADELPHIA WORKS.
'hey are Visited by the President and
vice President Of the Comparative
furnaces to Run for Sometime Yet.

T.. u. Mathews, President, and Mr.
Rhodes, Vice President of the Phila.
oe'ph'a Mining and Smelling Com
pany, came in last Friday, to make a
sort OF final inspection of their smelt-
ing works before shutting down tor
the winter.
They were agreeably surprised at
the mlldness of the weather, which has
permitted the hauling of ore and the
running Of two stacks, which turn out
an average of L, tons of bullion per
day. They expected to see the works
on the point of shutting down, while,
on the contrary, they saw every prep
aratlon made for a somewhat pro-
longed, if not continuous, run.
They left for the East by last nights
train.
MIR. Mathews was met by a TIMES
reporter, and asked if the works had
paid large profit this year. Mr..
Mathews replied that the works had
not done as well as desired, but that
they had nevertheless paid, and that
next year they would do much better.
The works had really only been an ex-
pertinent until recently, but now they
might be considered fully established,
as one of the institutions Of the
country.

Something About Coal Oil.

The Standard Oil Company,of Cleve.
land, Ohio and New York, have APP
pointed Isador Morris & Co., of
Haley, their sole agents for the
Wood River country. Tho Standard
Oil Company is the largest manufac-
turer of Illuminating oils in the world,
consequently the cheapest seller. Re-
ject all statements by interested
dealers, and insist on having Pearl
Oil, always kept in stock by the COM
pany or its agents.
In offering to consumers our cele-
brated brand of Pearl Oil, manufac-
tured in Cleveland, we recommend it
for the following reasons:
LIST. 1t is strictly pure and of East
ern manufacture; packed in patent
faucet cans, and it is HIGH TEST, non
explosive and absolutely safe.
I'd. II is a clear, steady burner,
does not encrust the wick nor smoke
the chimney, and is free from..unpleas-
ant odors while burning.
Sd. 1t is water white, and presents
handsome appearance in addition to
its burning qualities.
4th. Being made by the larg.
est manufacturers of Illuminating
oils in the world, it is the result of
wide experience, and is sure to give
satisfaction.
CAUTIoN.-Beware Of inferior oils
put up in second hand cans Of above
brand. If pure Pearl Oil is desired,
be sure that you get the same packed
in new original cases and cans.

That Attempted Burglary.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TINES
The statement of the reported attempt
at burglary in the Nevada House,
last Monday night, as published in
the morning paper Of Tuesday, was
grossly inaccurate. The rancher who
was alleged to have been robbed, was
brought to my house by Don Mckay.
AS he had $50 or $50 with him, and
was not entirely sober, Mr.. Mckay
put him to bed, told him he had better
lock himself il, and not 60 out on the
street, as he might be robbed. This
was done, | holding the door while the
lodger locked 1t. About one o'clock
he began yelling-probably from
nightmare. What he said l don't
know-nor does anyone else. Nigh
Waterman Connolly, who came up as
soon as the man began shouting, found
him in bed and the door of his room
locked. 1t was therefore evident
that no one had attempted to rob him
or to get into his room. The fact is,
the man was dun, and that is
all there is about it.
Mrs. V. PRlsK,
Don Mckay.

What to do When Sercnaded.

An exchange says: CIVIL you please
tell me what is proper for young
lady to do when serenaded?" In 70.
nance it is usually written: "The
curtain was seen to tlutter, and white
hand emerged and tossed down 4
rose" la real life the custom is to
light the gas in order to give the SER
enaders the satisfaction Of knowing
that the fair lady is awake. OF course
the curtains, which have been left
open to let in the air, should
first be closed, but nine times out of
ten the girl gets flustered and forgets
the curtains until the room is illumin-
ated. Then she gives little yell and
crawls under the bed.

A Poisonous Wood.

Connecticut's health board is inves-
tigating poisonous wood from Pana-
ma, called cokobola. Il takes bril-
liant polish and is much used for knife
handles and ornamentation, but it poi
sons the men who work it. Children
playing in it's sawdust have their feet
poisoned, and at a large factory in
Elm street, Bridgeport, chickens have
died after eating the dust that had set
tied on the grass.

TO GET FIRE HOSE.
Ward + Qnantrell Give Way to the
Citizens.

Ward 4 Quantrell have done a gra-
clous thing by giving way to the cit.
liens of HALEY for a Thanksgiving
ball for the purpose Of procuring funds
with which to buy fire hose. They
had their ball advertised and their ar
engagements were complete, yet they
did not hesitate to postpone their ball
to some indefinite date so that the
citizens might have chance to buy a
supply Of hose. This liberality and
accommodating disposition should be
remembered, when some patronage in
their limo is about to be dispensed.
