For several days past Patrolman Bruce
Harris, at Atlanta, has been troubled with
an aching jaw tooth, and yesterday after
noon he concluded to pull it out. He Dor
rowed pair of forceps and sat down in
chair TO act as his own dentist. With a
sharp knife he lanced the gums about the
tooth, just as he had seen dentists do, and
then made desperate phil with the pulli-
kins. In spite of everything he could do
bis head would bob forward when a pull
was made. Finally the policeman called his
wife and got her to hold his head back while
he pulled on the forceps. Tnis worked like
charm and the jaw tooth left its moorings.
'Hurti Well, / should think it did," said
Patrolman Harris while talking about the
matter this morning, "but l saved a dollar"
At Atlanta there is great activity In all
Of the departments In the old capitol this
week, everybody being engaged in the work
of moving. 1t will only require few more
days now to finish this work. Probably the
last Of the officials to move out will be Col
Bob Hardeman, the state treasurer. This
Is because the new treasury safe has not
arrived. Treasurer Hardeman says he will
not move out of his old safe until he can
move into the new one. Besides the states
cash end the valuable vouchers of the
treasurer, there are in the vaults 81 SOC, 900
in gilt-edge bonds belonging to insurance
companies and deposited with the state. 1t
would not be safe to move these into the
bare vaults at the new capitol The safe is
expected TO arrive in a few days, but it
may be delayed some time.
The latest sensation in Liberty county is

himself as Christ. He is down in the lower

class of colored people. He wears his hair
long and parted in the middle, has blouse
suit on and carries staff in his hand He
exhibits scars on his feet and hands, where
he was nailed to the cross. He is repre-
sented as being well versed in the
Bible. He predicts an earthquake and the

many of them have abandoned their crops
and given themselves up to idleness and
preparation, thinking that the end of the
world is so near at hand. He claims to
save the colored people, and refuses to come
up to Mcintosh, or where the white popula-
ton reside.

Some ten days ago Pompey Moore, the
motive power for running the press of the
Waycross Reporter, and his wife were
"muddyingn a small hole of water, near
the river, for the purpose of catching the
fish, when young white girl about IA
years of age, passing, asked permission to
join the fun, just as any other child would
have done. The fun went on, and
after awhile the girl picked up
a big moccasin, thinking she
had caught an immense catfish,
which as soon as it was brought to the sur
face wrapped itself around her arm and
drove its fangs into the back of her hand
Pompey was scared, SO was his wife, for the
snake was about three feet long and a very
ugly looking monster, but the girl-victim
only laughed. Pompey bound her arm,
put some tobacco on the bitten hand car
ried her home and put lard on it, and the
next morning the child was all right, hay
ing never suffered from the bite.
The following circular letter to melon
growers has been issued: "We, having
been appointed as a committee by the
melon growers convention, that assembled
in Albany, Ga, on May 2, and to be known
as the market committee, whose duties
should be to look after the best market to
ship our melons to and to get the best and
most reliable commission men to handle
them, beg to say to the growers that it will
be impossible for us to discharge the duties
that have been assigned us in a satisfactory
manner without the cooperation of the
growers; we therefore take this opportun-
ity, at the beginning of the season, to urge
upon every growerlto keepa complete record
OF all the short comingS of any commission
firm and report same 10 us at our next con-
ventiOn TO be held at the end of the season.
in order that we may be able to locate those
who have not dealt fairly by us and avoid
them in the future Be sure that your
grounds for complaint are just, as we
know that no growers desire to do an in.
justice to anyone, and when you have
placed your complaints in our hands we
faithfully promise you that they shall be
made known to every member of our asso-
citation. ]. J. Twitty, ]. P. Brooks, J.
