THROUGH THE AIR ON A FLAG.
A Little Girls Perilous Trip on the
Tail Of Old Glory.


The fat roofs of the tenement houses on
the north side of West Thirty-third
street, near Eighth avenue, are utilized
by the children of the neighborhood as
playground. A big factory building
stands between two of these big double
deck tenements and as the roofs are all
on the same level the youngsters have a
very large and very wide area for their
sport.
Yesterday an enormous flag flew from
the 5O-fOOt pole on top of the factory
building. When the wind died away the
banner dropped to within few feet of
the roof and the youngsters amused them
selves by jumping up and catching it. A
puff of wind would come along the flag
would stitfen out anu the children would
Shrek with glee as they vainly tried to
hold it down against the force of the
breeze. A little girl about years old
was raised in the arms Of a sister, and for
a while enjoyed herself greatly playing
fast and loose with the flag The breeze
died away, the flag dropped and the little
tot took firm hold with her tiny hands
and half disappeared within the folds of
the banner
OF a sudden came a great puff of wind,
the rag swung ont and up in the air went
the yOungster shrioking in dismay. There
flag, like great kite with the little child
in its tail, rose maiestically. A few feet
away from the flag staff stands a small
shed, built to protect door leading on to
the tenement roof While the spectators

RAISING ZINE srocK.


Taking Pride in Their Animals.
Sandersvillo, Ga, June !. More atten.
ton is being given 10 raising fine stock in
Washington county each year. and those
who engage in this industry are finding
it profitable. There are several fine
stations doing service i'm this section and
there has been considerable improve
ment In horse flesh, as well as graft
fying increase in the number of colts
each year II is estimated that this num-
Der ranges from 400 to 500, counting all
under years old. and the increase this
year win exceed any in the history of the
county. No one is engaged exclusively
in raising stock, and IL is only made
an adjunct of the general
farming interests, every farmer owning
one or more brood mares, having them to
raise as many colts as possible A county
colt exhibit will be held in Sandersville
on the first Tuesday in August, and suit
able premiums viii be awarded to the
colts possessing points of superiority 1t
is an enterprise which is meeting with
the encouragement of all who believe in
making our section of the state self-sus-
tanning and Independent of the products
of the Kentucky and Tennessee stock
farms.
Besides the attention being given to the
raising of colts, quite stimulus is being
given to the production of fine cattle by
the Introduction Of fine breeds, the butter
producers being the favorites The
Jersey cattle have long been the favorite,
but the recent introduction of the Guern-
sey promises to supersede them, as they
have a record for butter producing that
cannot be matched by the Jersey, and
the bulls are not at all vicious being
gentle and tractable and easily handled
1t has been demonstrated that they can
be kept IN good condition at much less
expense than the Jersey while at the
same time their yield of butter is much
greater, richer and of superior quality
There is an active demand for fine cattle,
and recently number were sold at this
place to parties from Savannah.
