Clyde Mcintyre, who has been
very sick, is now able to be out.
W. had the pleasure of visiting
the splendid stock farm of R. T.
Freeman & Son, this week, and
found it to be one of the most con-
%veniently arranged farms we have
seen in many a day. They have
just erected a large and commodi-
GUS barn with all the modern i'm
provements, which is used exclusive
ly for breeding purposes, having
besides this one of the finest barns
in the county for his other stock.
These barns and his neatly arrang-
ed paddocks are supplied with
water from a living wellwith a
large windmill, with pipes
leading to each barn and
paddock. His farm is supplied
with water by Beaver Dam Creek,
which runs a distance of two miles
through the farm, furnishing an
abundant supply for his cattle, of
which he has quite a number. He
has in his breeding establishment
the grand saddle stallion Duluth
Chieftain, who is making for him.

ton. Also Tipperary, a combined

jack, measures "a inches from tip
to tip of ears, 5 feet around the
heart, Is inches around the arm, 10
inches around the hook and stands
Is hands high without shoes. If
there is another 3-year old jack in
the county or State that can beat
that, Mr.. F. says he would like to

deal extensively in mules, and have
now about 40 head, ranging from

from 1850 to 140O pounds.
''Bob," as he is familiarity known,

The Information was recei we'd here by

Gov. Warren, and the latter at once
wired Gen. Brooke TO protest against
the removal of the Fort Mckinney

Special Agent Cooper at Pine Ridge

In the course of the afternoon the fol-
lowing telegram was received from
General Miles:

patches to the White House where he
attended Q meeting Of the cab'nat at
noon and they formed the subject of
discussion at the meeting. Afterwards
Major General Schofield. commanding
the army, was in consultation with

the condition of Indian affairs. Sec
retary Proctor says the suggestion
made by General Miles, that troops In
the other divisions than his own COM

force him, hssalready b en- anticipated.
Orders have been sent to commanding
officers ~ troops as far south as Texas

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Convsn-
ton convenes in Atlanta this Thurs
day. morning to nominate a candi-
date for Governor and State house
officers. There is no opposition to
Mr.. Northen for Governor and the
old officers, except for Hon. Clifford
Anderson's place for Attorney Cen
eral, and ]. I. Henderson's place
for Agricultural Commissioner.
Judge Geo. n. Lester contests with
Mr.. Anderson for the nomination
for attorney general and Col. R. T.
Nesbitt asks for the nomination
over Mr.. Henderson for agricultural
commissioner. We have advocated
Lester and Nesbitt, and believe our
choice will be the choice OF the
convention. If they win, it will be
victory that each may teel proud
of.
Col. r. I. Nesbitt has certainly
made one of the most gallant fights
in the history of Georgia politics.
He has had to fight the combined in
fuence of guano and Oil inspectors,
guano factories, leading daily papers
and the State Alliance lecturer, yet
he has developed a strength that is
remarkable, and which will doubt
less make him the next commission
er.
Judge Lester has conducted a
quiet, but active campaign, simply
by sending out few thousand cir
culars announcing his candidacy.
The people and the papers have re-
sponded alphabetically and nobly,
and his election seems assured. So
mote it be.
