Another wild cat story comes from Early
county: Business being dull, Ed Fryer and
Jim Freeman went down in Beaver Rum
to shoot cat squirrels, hundreds of which
are now jumping out in the tall white
oaks and hickories in quest of acornS and
nuts. When they got down near the "Frac-
tom houses they parted and stationed them
selves out ia the swamp a few hundred
yarts apart. Each had shot several times
Jim had killed four and Ed several more
Everything was going on smoothly, when
Jim heard something like rumble of thunder
away off He paid no particular attention to
it. and in fact was too busily engaged look
ing after some squirrels just above him in a
large tree to think what it was. He heard
it the third or fourth time, the last accom-
panied with hiss and growl seemingly be-
hind him. Turning to see what it was he
beheld the glaring eyes of a monster wild
cat, not more than II feet distant, crouched
Just ready to SPRING On him. jim still
didn't take a great deal of time to think,
but let him have the conte It's of one barrel
i the foot. The cat advanced backward,
and Jim-well there's no telling hat ne
did do. From the best of h:s recollection,
however, he leisurely stro led out into an
open field to count his squirrels and wait for
Ed.

There is confined in tn county Jail at
Orlando prisoner by the name Of Sam
Hall, charged with rape, who for some
time past has been giving the sheriff and
deputies considerable trouble by singing vile
and vulgar songs, SO as to be heard on the
street. He also has created much trouble by
fighting and abusing the other
prisoners, therefore, on Sa urday, he was
told that unless he behaved better he
would be chained down in his cell.
Monday morning when Deputy Sheriff
Pickett entered the jail and called the pris-
oners out of their cells, he refused t. come.
After ordering him out several times, Mr.
Pickett went into the cell to bring him out,
when Hall made furious at ack, knocking
him down with bottle he had concealed in
the cell. Mr.. Pucke't sprang to his feet, and,
though dazed and bleeding badly from the
cut inflicted on his head, grappled with the
ruffian. Hall is a powerful negro and
proved too much for Mr. Pickett, who is
slight Of build and no match for the negro.
At this juncture Robert Anderson came in
to the assistance of Mr.. Puckett, and they
soon had the V liam securely Grained In
the struggle Mr.. Anderson was afraid
fire for fear Of hitting Mr.. Packet, but by
accid 'at lis p stol was discharged and Hall
received IL slight wound IN t9e hand.

Jumped in a Well.
From the Vaidosta GA Times.

From the Vdld0Sta ga. Times.
A young man living near Valdosta had a
perilous experience several nights ago.
He jumped in well while asleep,
but, thanks to fortuitous circumstance,
he got out with no more damage
to his person than a thorough drench-
ing from the sIbmersiOn he got. The
young man in question is a som ambuli,t.
Several times before hs has been known to
get up in his sleep and walk about, and d.
things W iCh no sleeping man, it would
seem, could do, and things which no wax
ing man would do. On this occasion he
rose and pulled a long coat on over his
night clothes, put on one of his own aud
one or his room-mate's shoes and got
hat belonging to the gentleman of the
house, which was several times too large for
him, and pulled it down over his face and
started out of the house. The gentleman of
the house heard him stirring l his room
and called to him to know if he was sick
and he answered no. He walked out t,u.
back way, went TO the lot ard jumped to
the well. The plunge bath, of course, wok
MIN up. He st uggled to the top, being Il
good swimmer, aud while clu ching ab IIl
in the dark on the surface of the wat he
got hold of the chain, which worked over
pulley and which had bucket at both end .
He threw his weight on the, chain, but tue
pulley worked easily and the tucket on the
other end shot up, and the young man sh 1t
down toward the bottom OF the well. Su :
dry well directed though sp smodic kicks
brought him to the top again, but
just at that moment the recently
ascending bncket, which had turned
down again when he turned the chain loose,
met the top of his head with severe blow,
which ducked him under again. Reaching
the surface again, and with a GOODNESS and
presence of mind which was remarkab o
under the circumstance, he gathered the
chain, and while threading water" as the
boys call it, he gently pulled on the chain,
causing the bucket to ascend until it hit
the pulley at the top of the well frame
Now he had solid hold, and finding the
step-holes on the side of the well. he soon
mounted to the curbing and sprang out
upon terra tirmd.
He said that he thought in his dreams
that he was at the Ford and was jump
ing in for a pleasure bath.
The water in the we'll was 20 feet deep,
but the surface was not far below the bot
tom of the curb.

Mark Whitesides recently that a slave
owned by Phil's grandfather, and who was
liberated by his master long before the late

country for Liberia, and has since become
king over that country. The King Of Libe-
ria was in kentucky last year for the pur-
pose Of visiting his Old acquaintance in
this state, but this being before the king

not create much Of n sensation. II he will
repeat his visit, however, coming loaded
with all his present honors, he may expect

but he don't seem to want to, that he bears

Knew Him with His Clothes On.
From the atlanta (Ga.) Journal

From the atlanta (Gd.) Journal
Capt. Billie Grim is very efficient officer
and a very clever gentleman, but he is thin,
very thin. The following good joke is told
on popular Capt. Billie:
A few days ago he was sitting in rear
room in a doctors Office. In front room
the office boy was reading a dime novel,
when an urcnin made his appearance with
a basket of fruit, and insisted upon the
office boy making purchase. To get rid of
the young fruit vender, the office boy went to
a case, opened the door, and exposed to view
a skeleton. The fruit boy fed in terror,
leaving his basket behind him.
Capt Billie Grim, hearing the commotion,
went into the front office, aud, upon learn
ing what had occurred, walked to the door
and said 60 the urchin, who stood across
the street, crying bitterly:
Little boy, come over and get your bas-
ket, nobody snail hurt you"
mo / won't" sobbed the little fellow,
"you can't fool me. | know you, IL you
