Just Twisted His Tail.


fFVHt me a HtSf3ctS ttrd.l HeDNOHcdn.
few days ago at Primitive Baptist
conference, in Sumter county, only a few
miles from Americas, good old brother c..
was arraigned for drunkenness. After d
long discussion among the brethren, the
sisters listening attentive but silent, the
moderator asked:
''Wel, brother G., I suppose you are
willing to apologize and promise to do
betterp'
"NO, am not. Ihave not sinned; am
one of the elect, ana don't do anything
that God amt willing for me to do. If he
didn't want me to get drunk / guess he
would stop me-"
The moderator then asked:
WANT you drunk when the mules ran
away and throw you and your wife out of
the wagon and broke it upP'
"NO, l wan'tw Indignantly snapped the
old man. II just twisted my mules tails
to tease Martha, and they run of, threw
us both out of the wagon, and broke it up.
l wasn't drunk a bit!"
The conference lasted until after
O'Clock in the afternoon, and several of
the sisters were indignant at being kept
80 late. One was overheard to say to an
other:
81 was so mad with brother c. that /
could er just twisted his tail, if could a
reached 1t, till he run away!'

1t is estimated that over 1900, 600 tags
will be used this year in connection with
the inspection Of fertilizers in this
State. AS il takes ten bags to a ton, it
will be seen that this estimate is based
upon the sale of $50, 900 tons of fertilizers
in Georgia during the season. Last year
about the same mum Der of tons were sold
in this State. Up TO date 1,409,Q00 tons
have been used. In January the outlook
was anything but encouraging to dealers
in commercial fertilizers, one OF them de-
scribing the situation at the time as be-
ing "bilious." This was regarded as an
indication that the farmers could not
buy guano on account of the
low price of Gotten. Since
then and within the past few weeks the
fertilizer trade has shown new life, and
now business ia that line is soon to be on
boom. The continued demand for fer
tilizers, 1t is said, is to a great extent at
tributable TO the large number of factories
that have been established in this State In
the last year or two.
Factories have been put uD at Macon,
Griffin, Newman, Townsville, Camilla,
Rome, and ElbertOn. All OF these enter
prises are doing a thriving business. An
other factory will be built at Conyers in
time for next years business. All of the
stock for this factory has been subscribed
and its construction Will commence at an
early daV.

An Heirloom.
From ths Flberton fgol Leae

From the Ftberton Ca Leader
Mr.. James Mcintosh, of this place, has
a family heirloom which is most interest
ing in its history and character. 1t is a
silver cream pitcher, which is at least one
hundred years old. 1t was brought from
Scotland by Mr.. MoIntOsh's great grand
father, and has descended regularly to
the youngest son down to the present
generation, and will be handed on down
through the coming generations of the
family by the same rule. On one side of
the pitcher, encircled by a wreath or
garland, is the cOat-Of-arms of the old
Mcintosh clan of Scotland that held
SO brave and conspicuous place among
the warlike families of Scotland centuries
ago. The cOat-ot-arms IS an engraving
which consists OF the figure of a cat half
encircled with the motto: Touch not the
cat hot glOve,'' the word '-bot' meaning
withOut'-tOuch not the cat without
glove; the inference being that If you do
you will be scratched. Near the mouth of
the pitcher on one side are five small in
dentatlOns in a horizontal line. In the
first indentatiOn are what appear to be
the letters SSH the s being partially
erased; in the second is a lion, in the
third a crown, the fourth d, and in the
fifth a human head.

Bears, Panthers and Ghosts.

From the Athens Ga Banner Watchman.
The negroes, as we have before stated,
are very much excited over wild animal
of some kind that has been running
around the back lots in unnamed fury,
soaring the negroes and small children so
that the skating rink at the town hail

pants. Every one who walked out at
night carried a gun, and some even want
ed to order out the double-barreled can
non to protect them from the teeth and
claws Of the bear, panther, or ghost. The
Banner WGtcbBldR reporter was called
on to solve the mystery; the police were
looked to for protection, and every day
and night this terrible animal was seen
in different parts OF the city. The b. ".
reporter started out, and after a thorough
search in every part of the city, found that
rags Hull" huge red setter dog that
is allowed to roam at will, is the bear,
