Natures Boon to Land Lubbers

There is a spring in Taliaferro county
in this state which furnishes water
which it is said will cure nausea in al
most every instance. The owners of the
spring have an idea that it will cure sea-
sickness. They have had it tried on the
steamships Of the Boston line of the
New England Steamship company, and
are satisfied with the test. They have
tried it also on the New York line of the
Ocean Steamship company. On the trip
of the Kansas City the water was ad-
ministered to those who were seasick by
DR.. Greene, who represented the owners
of the spring. When the Kansas City
reached Savannah the doctor said he was
gratifed with the result of his expert
ments. There were ten passengers sea-
sick on the trip to New York and three
on the return trip. The water cured
them all. One of those cured was the

Some Pretty TAN Cotton.

Col. Anie Gatewood, of Americus,
was telling number of friends the other
day about his magnificent cotton crop,
and during the conversation related the
following startling story. His cotton
is SO thick and tall that the suns rays
cannot penetrate between the rows, and
consequently it is very dark in the
fields even at midday. Last week 12-
year-old boy, son Of one of his tenants,
went to the field to carry his fathers
breakfast, and missed his way in the
dense cotton. The tenant, becoming
alarmed at the non-appearance of the
boy at the regular time, went to the
house and secured help to institute a
search, as he well knew that the boy
would never find his way out of the cot
ton field unaided.
Men mounted on mules, in order that
they could see about them, rode for
hours through the dense, dark field Of
cotton, firing guns and calling loudly to
attract the attention of the lost boy,
while skyrockets and Roman candles
were fred at intervals into the cotton in
the hope that he might see the light and
make his presence known. Finally, af'
ter many weary hours had been spent in
searching for the boy, he was found fast
asleep in the forks of cotton stalk some
five feet above the ground. The hunters
carried him home in triumph, and tt

Gatewood is having tall signal pole.

We hail the crimson glow upon the lakes
Calm, pnlseless breast. and the bright golden

That tinge the clouds and set the woods on hre,

To him who plants the lilies in the wales.

That thrive beside the streams that flow between
