Funny Sight

Roast beef is what farmer of

of one of his fine Jersey cows few
nj lhtS- ago. 1t seems that the COW
had been troubled for some time
with itch. and TO cure it the farmer
used kerosene. He woulu thor
oughly saturate her every night
with the oil. On this occasion he
had postponed the matter until af>
tea dark and was obliged to depend
on a lightwood torch tor a light.
The torch was held by a negro boy
who was either very careless or
wickedIy disposed. ior suddenly he
torch tourhe d the COW and the COW
touched the ground at intervals Of
about thirty feet, a perfect ball of
fire. The farmer reports
very interesting sight, bat
Gays he doesn't care to see it
again. The COW has gotten back
home and with the exception Of n
scarcity Of hair is the same gentle,

Mr.. and Mrs, NJ. C. Caraway
returned home last week from a
very interesting a&d enjoyable trip
to Cuba.
Mr. Caraway relates many inter.
esting incidents and sights during
the trip.
In conversation with a News
representative Mr. Garaway said:
ut is impossible for me to furnish
you with anything like full and
descriptive account of my trip. I
saw more than can now possibly
recall, and while | was highly in
terested by everything saw, /
would not undertake to tell it all.
The adaptability of Cuba's soil
ard climate for the successful cul,
tiyati1n Of anything that its inhab-
itants may wish to grow is, per-
haps, one of its most interesting
features. The great variety
md quantity OF fruits and vegeta-
bies that are now beng shipped to
our Northern cities is surprising,
but Cuba's chief staples tor export
are coffee, sugar and tobacco.
"Iheir mode Of cultivation is
very novel. Instead OF blowing as
We do, they use an OK with one
man to guide the plow and auoth>
er in font to lead the animal.
They do not seem even to be
aware OF the loss of time and
the unnecessary expense caused by
this mode OF blowing, and are
content to contnne on in the old
ruts of their ancestors Of the Gt.
teenth century.
Among the things that would
most interest a smoker is the supe>
rior quality o! cigars made there.
l brought Jack Carver cigar
that cost $3.50.
Game, which is one of the most
important products, is planted on-
ly once in every twenty-five or
thirty years.
Cuba, as you probably know,
is not quite as large as Georgia,
but has a larger population. Hao
wanna, which is the principal city,
has population OF about 100000
inhabitants, and the streets are very
narrow and resemble to some ex-
tent the older streets of st. Angus.

is said to contain the remains of
Christopher Columbus.
Il wish l could describe more
fully the particulars of my trip,
but su flee it to say a trip to Cuba
will more than repay the visitor"

One Of the enterprises which will
help to bring about this happy re-
salt is cotton compress.
In conversation with well.
known cotton man who will have
considerable stockin the enterprise,
the News learned tJat the com,

the first rail is laid on the track OF
