cars arrived yesterday, the others are ex-

is drawing the fat steers from Mime
sofa and Iowa; even Chicago feels
the effects of this Eastern demand
and holders of habitat stock are disposed to
let their cattle mature rather than market
them at present prices. When they are
through with harvest they will market more
freely. AS we stated yesterday morning, the

DULUTH, Aug. Wheat opened weak

Insisted upon further concessions. About

were limited at iixed premium over Chicago

Sanford Journal: In short conversation
with ArchdeacOn S. B. Carpenter this
morning we learn that he has built eleven
churches and rectories in the state since ne
has been archdeacon. He has lately COM
pleted church and rectory at Lake Worth
and has two churches Ia course of construc-
ton on Merritt's island-one at Merritt,
which is about completed, and one at Court
ney. Although Sanford is Mr. Carpenters
home, be is so busy with his church work
that he is rarely ever here, and when he is
it is only for very short time.
Experts say that the game Of base bali
played at Gainesville, Saturday, between
the Dixies Of Lake City and the Young
Americas Of Gainesville was the best and
closest game played on the grounds this
season, the score being a tie-three to three,
Time was called at the tenth inning on ac-
count Of rain. Giles Williams Of Gaines
vile, pitcher, struck out fourteen meo,
something remarkable, as he was pitching
against men, the Gainesville Young
Americas being boys from Is 10 10 years Of
age. Bob Selph, pitcher for the Dixies,
struck out eight men, being good work on
mis- part. The game was entirely battle
between the pitchers.
By some misunderstanding, about $50
people from points down the South Florida
railroad were compelled to stay in San
ford from $50 o'clock Thursday night until
9:l5 Friday morning. They had been told
that special would connect with the train
on the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West,
and take them down the South Florida
railroad that night Many of them were
women and children and many had no
money, and 1t was a difficult matter to find
accommodation for so many on such short
notice. But they were all finally provided
tor. The deteD ton was not the fault of the
South Florida. The excursionists failed to
take the regular train on their return, and
thereby missed connection General Ticket
Agent Mccoy says he would have provided
a special train for them had the mshap
been known in time, and as IT was he ex-
tended their tickets limited to the 4th to
trains of the 5th.

Rome Tribune: At Chulio, Friday even
ing, Mrs Sarah Bell was busy preparing
supper and left the kitchen for a few
minutes and when she returned she discov-
cred the kitchen on fire. She fought heroic
ally to extinguish the maddening flames,
but TO no effect She then ran to another
room and took her infant from the cradle
and laid it gently on the ground outside. 1t
appears that she was so frantic that she had
but little Or, sence of mind and was not at
herself when she removed the infant. 1t is
thought that she went back into the burn
ing house, perfectly unaware Of the cnild's
rescue, and while hunting for it she was
wrapt in the flames and persisted Her hus-
band was not present, and only two or three
colored laborers arrived TO see the building
devoured.
Athens Banner Waterman: It is not
generally known that all the first-class in
surance companies refuse to issue policies
to negroes. We believe that few take
such risks, but they a not the best compd-
MES, and even they are very diffident about
it. The Banner yesterday asked II. n.
Wilcox, of the firm of Grant & Wilcox,
the reason for this discrimination against
the sons Of Africa. Mr. Wilcox replied
that he presumed the reason to be that
few negroes could trace back their families
far enough, and many of them did not even
know the name and pedigree of their own
paternal relatives. ITS a wise child that
knows its own father" seems to apply with
especial force to our colored population.
The life insurance companies are very par
ticular IN tracing the geneology of person
before issuing policy on his life, and few
darkies can satisfactorily answer the cate
chism.
