An extensive woods fire occurred on Sat
urday morning near the line of the Central
road. on the border Of Bibb and Jones couu-
ties. The burned section lies between the
Central and CoviugtOn and Macon roads,
and the farmers residing in the section are
not sure which road is to blame for the
burning, which was caused by sparks from
the locomotive. Among other places, one
belonging to O. E. Massey suffered consid-
erably from the flames, which swept bar
and its contents, and which was barely kept
by tenant on the place. In the barn were
500 bundles of oats and other farm stuff,
which was totally destroyed. The damage

picnic at Beach Haven. She went, and en-
joyed herself immensely. She was
accompanied by a young gentle
man who returned with her to the

DR.. T. S. Page Of Pringle was in Sanders
vile last week and had with him two little
stones Of peculiar shape and appearance,
which he says are claimed to be genuine
mad stones, but they have never been tested
in the power of extracting the poison from
the bite of rabid dogs. The stones are the
property of Mrs. Reuben Frost of johnson
county and we re given her long years ago
by her father, the famous huntsmau, Lord
Price. Mrs. Frost SAYS her father
killed in his lifetime upward of
800 deer and found only three
mad stones, two of which
he gave her when a girl and which are
those shown the Sandersvllle Progress. She
further states that her father told her that
hunter could tell as soon as a deer was
killed whether or not its stomach contained
the magic stone, as in every instance where
the stone is the hair of the animal slain
turned the reverse from its natural position
when cold in death. Mrs. Frost is perfectly
willing to allow the use Of the ston IS free of
charge if ~ person chances to the dread
misfortune of needing them.
