GEORGIA.
Gwipnett Herald The schools all over the
county are reported TO he largely attended.
This is indeed a good outlook. Nothing can
sneak more favOrably for a town, commu-
nity or q county than the fact that it has
good, well-governed schools
Brunswick Call: Yesterday afternoon Mes
srs Geo Krauss and C. Winkler went over
on the marsh on hunting expedition They
proved TO be tirst class sportsmen. After

before Mr. Krauss had put an end to the life
Of a 25-pound marsh coon

is much larger than the old one and can be
heard miles away. he wagon scales are
being fitted out with new foundation timbers
and everything put in trim for the IAN GIN
ming, which is near at hand.
Griffin News; Griffin IS fast developing men
OF genius in the guessing line The latest
AYERS that by the 9Th Of September the world
will come TO an end. He bases his calcula-
lions on the signs of the times as he sees
them. he appears to be in earnest, and
throws it at you straight from the shoulder
Toccoa News: Truly this is the home of the
grape, Nearly every family in town has
down with plump punches of the purple fruit.
In this section grapes attain large size and
fine flavor and require little cultivation. In
the near future grape culture in Northeast
Georgia will become an important industry.
Waycross Herald: We had hoped that
Ware county would escape lynching and the
causes that bring ii about and make IL neces-
sary, but il is upon US The leading colored
men Of Ware county should use the lynching
OF Jack Chambers as an argument to prevent
crime and outrage among their race. There

will continue as long as there Is raplst In
the land.
Swainsboro Pine Forest There is no ques-
ton about needing new court house, and
one should be built right away, but where, is
the question. There is a removal spirit in
this county which is growing TO alarming pro
portions, and which may result in building
new court house at some other point In the
county. The Forest wilFtake no stock either
way. We can follow the court house wher-
ever it goes.
Tennine Chronicle: While we hate to lose
the little old reliable. the Sandersville & Ten
mile railroad-but such Is fate, and it is a
thing of the passive welcome the Augusta
Southern railroad in its place. The S. 4 T.
was leased to the Augusta Southern on Tues
day last and will be known as the southern
division of the Augusta Southern. it will not
be long before the trains will run
through. We welcome you TO our prosperous
little city.
Dalton Citizen: Talk about your fast
trains said travelling man to Citizen re-
porter, the Nancy Hanks. the famous blue
streak of the Central railroad of Georgia,
can now take the palm for phenomenally fast
running-not even the far famed '999,' of the
Lake Shore, can turn wheel with it. Why
we were coming up the Central the other day,
when the Nancy Hanks encountered a thunder
storm and the lightning struck at her three
times but missed her. That was moving,
wasn't itg
Telfair Enterprise We would advise the
planters of Telfair to go to work now on the
hogs that they intend killing this winter All
that expended in that direction is money
well spent. Try to make enough bacon to
supply home demands out of five or six hogs.
1t can be very easily done If proper attention
is paid to them. II you produce more than
you need at home, there is always a good
market for the surplus The growing cotton
crop will not have more than half the pro
vision bills to settle that have had TO be met
by previous crops. We can see in this con
ditfon of affairs the following interesting and
encouraging facts: The planters are making
more hog and hominy at home and not buy
ing more than half as much on time. They
will have on hand after settling up, about
half their cotton which half we assure you.
will not fall such an easy victim to dictated
or spectators prices.
Brunswick is being regaled'by thepossession
of a petriied human form anarrival from st.
Simon, which. the Times thus describes, The
Pope Catlin brought a rare piece of freight to
the city Thursday afternoon-nOthing less
than real perfectly-formed petrihed man.
Patrick kearins, of ShamolIin, Pa, gentle
man Of Irish descent and relic-hunter by
preference, mas been searching among the
historic spots on ST. Simon for curios, and his
search was rewarded Thursday by the finding
of a we'll preserved relic of a former race. In
his presentations, Mr., Kearins came upon
OF the recently burned uShadman home
stead. He proceeded to eXcaVate, and found
this petrihed human figure. 1t is evidently,
That OF an Indian, is about six feet in height,
and the contour Of body and feature is excel
lently lifelike. Mr. kearins continued
his excavation, and was rewarded by the dis
largo ri HOY ,tan of
which was three feet across the top. Near
this was buried a heap of arrows spear
heads, etc, all deposited there at some pre-
Oglethorpe period. 1t was an Indian custom
to inter with the body OF the brave, all of his
earthly possessions; and this accounts for the
discovery OF the other articles, which were
no doubt the personal property Of the Indian,
Mr., Kearins win carry his finds TO his home
in Shamokin, Pa, where he will put them on
exhibition. Thence he expects to have them
given permanent place in the Smithsonian
Institution at washington. st Simon is rich
in relics. and the antiquary will find there
many things suggestive of the days of the
races OF the past.

Jacksonville Times Union: Hanging over

the prisoners who come up to have their

made more gruesome by the sergeant who
has filled the eye orbits with tin foil which
glints ana scintillates right into the eyes OF
unlucky prisoners, who are given the cold
shivers.
Tampa Tribune: From all pa rts of the
