farmer near Scott City, Kan, was
destroyed by fire on Dec, Is. In
the excitement Mrs. Ford forgot
her baby until it was too late to
safely return to the house, and she
was held back by the assembled

that she could not do so she called
to her dog, large Newfoundland,

animal dashed through the flames,
and soon returned carrying the child
unframed in his teeth. The dog

Quality versus Quantity.


7. L. Hunt has demonstrated
the fact that the people of Marietta
want quality rather than quantity,
for by handling only the best of
everything and strictly pure goods
he has built up trade that has
certainly been very satisfactory to
himself and now desire to ex-
press his appreciation by continu-
ing to offer only such goods as he
can recommend as being pure and
healthful. Having for long time
endeavored to keep always on hand
the best Jersey butter, he is now
prepared to always offer a fine table
butter, which with the aid of a re-
frigerator, he is able to keep
firm and in fine condition.
Dove brand hams and breakfast
bacon and pure leaf lard are among
his specialties. 'Momaja" coffee
is the best blended coffee on the
market, and the Java and Mocha in
two pound tins is the certainly the
finest to be had. His "Aime"
flour has made itself an enviable
reputation and if you want good
bread or biscuits try 1t. Crockery,
glassware and table cutlery in full
supply.
Agricola's bread fresh every day.

SAVANNAH TEAM

In the sweepstakes the Georgia men got
the best of the shooting. Woeltjen killed
nine straight birds and got first money in
the first sweepstake. In the second sweep
stake Savannah divided second money, in
the third sweepstake McAlpin got second
money, and in the last sweepstake Ulmer
divided second money with Jacksonville
and McAlpin got third money. Brunswick
and Waycross came next in winnings.
In the interstate team shoots Savannah
did not have its regular team and stood
third in the shoot. Westcott did the best
shooting for the home team The following
is the score: Waycross 80, Brunswick 81,
Savannah IS, Orlando 80, Palatka 7S, and
Jacksonville 81.
Another match shoot for a purse of $3.50
is to be shot on the Forest City grounds July
Is, between the Forest City, Waycross and
brunswick clubs. President Kieffer, of the
Forest City club, won the grounds for the
shoot at home on the toss Of a coin with
Waycross.
The coming shoot was the outgrowth of
second challenge by the Brunswick club,
and by common consent Waycross was ad-
United. Brunswick was backed heavily in
its shoot for the championship and it is
said the Florida and Waycross admirers of
the Forest City team went home $40O or
$500 better off for accepting all the offers
made by the hackers of the Brunswick
club.
The score. 9S to "a, shows the excellence
OF the shooting. No such shooting has been
done in this section. The best on record be-
fore last Fridays score was &c out of pos
sble 100, made by the Forest City at Cum
bertrand Island several years ago.

Pure Water.

An article in the Times Of the 9th states
that some Of our citizens send away for
spring water for drinking purposes. Why
should they do this when by the use of one
of Pasteur's Germ Proof Filters the river or
artesian water can be made absolutely pure
and wholesome!
This is new invention by the celebrated
French physician after whom it is called.
The water is forced through number of
porcelain tubes, which are so arranged as to
be protected from the least danger of con-
tamination, as it passes directly from the
hydrant. Physicians and others interested
are invited to inspect its workings at the
crockery house of James s. Silva, where all
information will be cheerfully furnished.

The Failure Causes Delay in Lighting
the New Street Lamps.
The fifty additional electric lamps for the
city have not yet been put in place, al
though the poles and main wires are all
ready to have the lamps attached. The de.
lay arises from the failure to receive a ship
mient of insulated copper wire which is to
be used in attaching the lamps. Supt.
keck says that it could not be obtained
north and the order was transferred to Chi
cage, ana 1t is believed the wires are some
where on the way. 1t is hard to get copper
wire now, Mr.. Keck says, as no more
is carried in stock by man
ufacturers than orders Justify. "a
copper is high, and manufacturers of wire
don't want to be caught with big stock on

says the lamps can be attached and ready
to turn the light on within twenty-four
hours after the receipt of the delayed wire.

to shoot the officer. Mallette and
Bird, in the scutiie, went down,
and the officer kept firm hold on Birds
pistol arm, so that he could not use the
weapon, although he tried hard TO get it

got the best of Mallette in the end, who was
not armed, but George A. Patterson hur-
ried to the rescue. and Bird was overpow-
