Very few people have any idea of
the vast areas of government land
held by alien land holders in the
United States. The largest tract,
$500, 900 acres, is held by the Hol-
land Company, of New Mexico. An
English syndicate holds 1900, 900
acres in Texas. Sir Edward Reid
and a syndicate in Florida owns
100000 acres 100000 acres be-
long to an English syndicate in Mis-
sissippi, 100000 to the Marquis Of
Tweedale, 100000 to the Phil
lips Marshall Company, Of London,
and 100000 acres to a Georgia
syndicate. These comprise the larg-
er landowners. There are, however,
score or more of persons and syn.
dicates owning less than 10000
acres. The grand total foots up to
20,747 900 acres Of government land
held by aliens in the United States.

SHOT HIS WIFE.
A MOST UNLUCKY JOKE WITH IA.
tai RESULT.

A Chicago telegram says. Mrs.
David A. Colbert, bride of two
weeks, was shot and killed this
morning by her husband in their
room at his parents house, at 165
Burlington street. This shooting
was accidental, but it was a
clear case of reckless carelessness in
the use Of a revolver. AS her hus-
band was dressing Mrs. Colbert pick
ed up his watch from the pillow and
told him jokingly that she meant to
to keep it. $50 you mean to be a
highway robber, do you? Then III
turn highwayman," he said laugh
ingly as he pulled his pistol from his
pocket. "Stand and deliver" Mrs.
Colbert jumped out OF bed, and AZ
she tried to get hold of the pistol
Colbert attempted to keep it out of
her reach In some way she manag-
eu 70 strike the weapon with her
hand. An explosion followed and
Colbert, as he saw blood appear on
her night-dress, fell in faint to the
floor. AS her younger sister came
running into the room Mrs. Colbert
gasped, "0h Kitty, look at David"
and fell dead. She had been shot in
the left breast.
Her husband, on recovering CON
seriousness, made two attempts to
take his own life, once with a revolt
yer and again with carving-knife.
He was disarmed by the family and
held until the police arrived and car
ried him off to the station house.
Colbert is q years old, clerk for
Charles German, board OF trade
man. His wife was very pretty
girl and but seventeen years of age.
They returned from their wedding
trip just week ago.

There is not town or city in
Georgia where there are small man
ufacturing industries but what are
prosperous. If our people will put
their surplus money in oil mills, gu
ano factories, broom factories, ETC.,
they need have no fears of new rail
roads or Republican presidents.
They will receive better interests on
their investments, labor will be bet
ter paid, merchants will have bet
ter and more substantial trade, and
the value of real estate will be great
ly enhanced. 1t is the bounden du-
ty of every man with spare dollar
to do something to build up his town
and community and give employment
to idle labor. Put the people TO
work and the country will prosper.

Purify Yonr Flood.

Bodily and mental health depends
upon healthy condition of the
blood. The blood particularly in the
spring and summer months, becomes
clogged with impurities, which poison
it and generate disease. A harmless
blood purifier is necessary to restore
healthy tone. The best purifier
and tonic known is Swift's Specific

and tonic powers we give few testi-
monials:

LOOKING FOR A HIDDEN TREASURE.

The following story is told the Sen.
tinel by several colored men who
vouch for its accuracy: About one
month ago there appeared in 0rlan-
do tall black fellow having buckled
to his side large pistol. He claim
ed to be native OF Charleston, s.
c., aud said that there was large
sum Of money buried near the city
limits of Orlando and that he had
been sent to organize a society to
procure it. lie was "cunjurer,"
did his work by magic, etc. He did
not require any great length of time
to organize a secret society for this
purpose, among the number being
one or two ministers. The initiation
fee to this society was S1295 and
only twelve were allowed to Join.
Last Sunday night at IL o'clock was
the time set apart for the money TO
be dug up. Each one Of the number
who invested 1925 was to receive
$1,000 out Of the hidden pile. II
fellow put in $500 he would draw,
said the Chief Captain as he was
known, about 1880. If he PIT in
$500 he would draw $1,000. Well
all the members exerted themselves,
and got up the required amount and
assembled last Sunday night at IL
o'clock in front Of the society's hall.
Some had spades while others had
hoes, shoyels, etc. A wagon was
along to haul the money back in.
All thought that but a. short time
would elapse before they would come
in possession Of their promised for
tune. They marched silently to the
Chiefs Mogul's office where all went
up and deposited the required
amounts. Over the silver money,
the Mogul poured little acid, this
turning it black he then command
ed his next officer in charge to take
the men On the outside and 90
through some OF the maneuvers,
which we're in signs-no one was
allowed to speak. The trick would
not work If any one renained with
him, 80 all had to retire. He wen
back then, put the money in hi
pocket and escaped through a bacI
door and went on his way rejoicin,
to other parts and has not..yet return

Two Scotchmen emigrated in the
early day to California. Each
thought 20 take with him some me-
mortal of their beloved country.
The one of them, an enthusiastic
lover of Scotland, took with him
thistle, the national emblem. The
other took a small swarm Of honey
bees. Years have passed away.
The Pacific coast is, on the one hand,
cursed with Scotch thistle, which
the farmers find it impossible to ex-
terminate on the other hand, the
forest and fields are fragrant and
laden with the sweetness Of honey,
which had been and is still one Of
the blessings Of the western slope Of
the Rocky Mountains, Even SO does
every Christian carry with him some
thistle plucked from the old man, or
honey from the new man, with which
to bless or curse men according as he
makes choice for God. How pre-.
cious Is our influence ; how we should
watch and guard it,--Words and

SOME SENSIBLE ADVICE TO YOUNG
MEN.

correspondent 10 the M0ntieel-
10 Times writing on the above sub
ject among other things says:
We are apt to blame young men
for being destroyed when we ought
to blame the influences that destroy
them. Society slaughters great
many young men by the behest,
"Hou must keep up appearances.
Whatever be your salary you must
dress as well as others, you must

you must smoke as costly cigars, you
must give as expensive entertain
ments, and you must live in as fash

Nobody will be hurt by it. Nobody
will be the wiser. You yourself will
not be damaged. By that awful pro-
cess hundred thousand men have
been slaughtered for time and slaugh-
tered for eternity. Our young men
are coming up in this dspraved state
of commercial ethics, and am solic-
itous about them. | warn them
against being slaughtered on the
sharp edges Of debt. You want many
things you have not, my young
friends, you shall have them if you
have patience, and honesty, and in
dustry. Certain lines CT conduct al
ways lead out to certain successes.
Suppose you borrow. There is
nothing wrong in borrowing money.
There is hardly q man in business
but has sometimes borrowed money.
Vast estates have been built on
borrowed dollar. But there are two
kinds OF borrowed money. Money
borrowed for the purpose OF starting
or keeping up legitimate enterprises
and expenses, and money borrowed
to get that which you can do without.
The first is right, the other is wrong.

own to buy coat, however plain,
and then you borrow money for

first revolution of the wheel down

that may be well. Borrow for the
Injuries, that tips your prospects
over in the wrong direction. The
Bible distinctly says that the borrow
err is the servant OF the lender. 1t
is bad state Of things when you
have to go down some other street to
escape meeting some one you owe.
If young men knew what is the des-
potism of being in debt, more of them
would keep out OF it.
