To Cabbage Growers.

"Here is an item says the Nordway
(Mo.) Democrat, that may be of use to
cabbage-raisers, and you should cut it out
and save it. A lady told US last week how
she saved her cabbage from being destroy
ed by worms. Early in the morning,
when the dew was on the plant, she sifted
a little flour over them. Twice during
the year was all that she found necessary.
The moth that lays the eggs in the plant
would fly around over the plant, but not
light on them, and she had no trouble
from worms and raised fine cabbage plants
1t is a simple, inexpensive remedy and is
worth trying; and as the lady who told us
of the experiment is our mother, of course
we know it worked like a charm in one in
stance at least"

CEORCIANS FIGHT A DUEL.
One of the Principals Is Killed and
the Other wounded.

ALBANY, Ga, Sept. IA duel was
fought here day or two ago by Jesse
Moore of Berrin county and r. p.
Fletcher of Irwin county, which re-
suited in the death of Moore. There
had been bad blood between the men
for some time, and when they recently
met, each accompanied by a friend, they
agreed to fight with their fists After
few rounds their hatred of each other
became too intense to be satisfied with
such methods, and they drew their re-
volvers. The seconds took to the
bushes, while the principals advanced
slowly, firing as they went When five
sho s had been exchanged Moore fell
m rtally wounded. Fletcher was also
wounded, but not seriously, and fled
from the State without delay. He has
not been apprehendedyet.

Hish-Ciass Horses

Never before has there been such wide
range of prices for high-class horses and
the millions of medium and scrub horses
There is a great scarcity of 1000 to 300
yound draft horses, and a growing demand
for them in all our markets. The dealers
have liberal orders to fill at big prices, but
the supply is limited for heavy draft,
large coach, or saddle horses, and the
prices range from 5000 to $500, while the
medium horses sell for 800 to 1925, and
the common small horses and mules for
less than 500, which does not pay to raise
