= Yesterday while Mrs. L. A. Station and
Apn, Bob who resides about two and one-
a4Tlf miles from Glendora, were on their
way here to do some shopping, they
heard panther hollow not great dis
lance from them, and the vicious and
blood>thirsty animal followed in their
wake for mile following six times.
Mrs. Station was horseback, while Bob,
Pho has not yet reached his Sixteenth
Fear, and who stands six feet in his
6ocks, and weighs about one. hundred and
twenty-five pounds, was walking. As
soon as the panther made its first war>
hing both struck out at lively speed
and after they had ran mile, Bob was
good many lengths ahead. When your
correspondent saw Bob at Glendora he
Nwas painting and blowing scared within
two inches of his life, and he said he just
clea1ed up everything in front of him.

Lewis Jones, we'll known everywhere, is
DOUBTLESS the best manager on Tallahatch-
III river. We cannot help but think, and
- will you, that he is good boss when
hst year with one mule he made squad
hof hands make twenty-five bales OF cots

DIR. r. l.. Jones will never have mana
Sger on his Black Bayou plantation to
compare with his son, Lewis. The hands
all like him; no trouble for him to control
labor and is never without all he wants.
Tile will probably reach seven hundred
ASbales this year-the prospects for full
I1crop was never better. When Dr. Jones
kAbecame the owner Of this magnificent
NJ lbmain in 1878, if / remember correctly
y fhe product Of this plantation was about
&twenty-fve or thirty bales, while this year
about seven hundred will be made on it.
