Boiled Buzzards.
From The Dairson (GnD Neps.

IRON Ute DutOSOn NGN.) NeUS.
A gentleman who lives a few miles from
town reports quite an amusing incident
that happened on his plantation Friday
afternoon Of last week. He was out in his
cotton patch, near the house, where an old
colored woman was picking cotton, and
while out there he heard the ringing of
tiny bell Being unable t. locate the
whereabouts of the sound, he called the at
tention of the old colored woman. By this
time it had drawn nearer, and as the woman
raised herself up from stopping position,
her eyes caught the sight of the buzzard,
and she heard the sound of the bell
She was badly frightened. She
threw up her hands; her eyes looked
heavenward as her mouth dropped open ard
she seemed to be invoking divine assist
ance. However, she was only heard to say
"Oh, Lawd'' and bolt for her house, where
shewas found half hour later in praying
position and muttering as to herself. AS
che only thing she said that could be under
stood was "Lawd forgive me dis time an
nebber do so any mo-, it was thought that
the old woman had been guilty of some sin
and decided that the belled buzZard that she
saw flying above her was a messenger from
another world. sent to warn her so that she
might flee the WI ath to come.
We told the gentleman about two buz-
yards with bells on them having been turned
loose in Albany few days back, and that
perhaps this was one of them.

out in his cornfield, a few days tack, when
le saw a half-grown cat squirrel coming
toward him. He picked up small pi ne

knowing that he could outrun the little
animal, he dropped the limb and got ready
for the race. However, the race did not

jumped upon the stranger as though he had
been an old friend, and ran
and played about him in quite familiar
manner. Mr.. johnson was greatly surprised
at The actions of the squirrel; however he
carried him home and put him in a box.
After keeping him confined for a day, he
decided to turn him out and let him go
back to the forest. When liberated the
little fellow went out in the yard and
played among the branches of the trees,
and when tired of this sport returned to the
house as naturally as though he had been
raised there. Mr.. johnson has the squirrel
vet, though he is unable to account for its
being so gentle. He says he is acquainted
in the neighborhood and does not know of
a pet squirrel that could have escaped.

The fish business is on boom. Fisher
men report more fish on this coast now than
at any time within the past ten years. For
the first time i'll five or six years the Su-

up?" asked MIR. Goodrich.
II will put up $40"
"Pshaw, the professor wouldn't step out
on the floor for any such paltry sum-"
"Well, how much will he step out for,
then?'
when you have $500 to put up just name
your dancer" replied Mr.. Goodrich.
The dancer is none other than your
humble servant" answered the doctor,

That Belongs to the Plaintiff.
ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 19.-John Alexander
to-day filed bill in equity against his wife,
Lizzie Alexander. The petitioner claims
that his wife, as his agent, purchased some
property at the city marshals sales, and
that although he furnished the money. she
had the deed made out to herself. As he
could neither read or write, it was by mere
accident that he discovered that his wife had
perpetrated the fraud upon him. When h.
spoke to her about the matter, she said that
she woult have his name substituted
hers. She failed to do this, however, and
for several years she, as his agent, paid the
taxes with money furnished by him. He
says she now claims the land as hers on the
face of the title, and is making an effort to
dispose of it. He charges her with perpe-
trating a fraud upon him and taking adj
vantantage of his ignorance. As soon as
he failed to get possession of the property by
her refusal to give it up, he instituted suit
for divorce from her.
